forever dog hello oh hi maureen how are we how are we i see you have a glass of red wine over
there right this is my after dinner before the podcast glass so i love that but i gotta leave
it all the way over there because you know i got a black and white rug and every time i spill
something i spill it on the white part so it's all happy black history month that's how it should
be thank you so much thank you yeah you know what friend that's enough that's the other way to look
at it thank you um the black side is still clean the white side dingy feels on brand hey marie i
was actually thinking about getting a steamer uh for my apartment like a steamer like to steam the
floors and the carpet you think that should be the move or no don't you have a cleaning man
you don't even clean doesn't he come with his own supplies no you know he comes from the bronx
So I don't I don't think he would bring a whole steamer to East New York.
What you think the steamer is going to do to your house is it's going to get rid of the cats.
What? Tell us. Walk us through the thought process here.
I think it's just good. It's good. It says it's good to disinfect the floors.
It's good to get stains out of the carpet.
You know what else does that sweeping, mopping, vacuuming.
You could do all of those things. You don't need to get a steamer for your house.
okay so the verdict's out there will be no steamer at sydney's apartment great marie how are you
feeling how are you doing i feel like you said all that but you looking at the tracking number
for the steamer you just ordered i feel like you are already en route no no no no i first of all i
wanted to uh check in with my black lady council and you said no so that's it's a no who told you
you needed a steamer friend the facebook ads marie i need you to take me off facebook i gotta
get off i don't know why but every day there's something that i'm like i need this i didn't
talk about it and i need it i don't think anybody on this zoom has been on facebook this year

mcguire on facebook let it be official yeah when i don't let me can i see see the friendship well
you're not making a lot of friends on facebook hun so that could have been from several years ago
no friends since march 2020 if that's any consolation well it was a dark time it was
right in the beginning of the pandemic so yeah that checks out right to be fair we was on lockdown
in march 2020 so i mean people were opening up their linkedin accounts so don't don't do that
don't come for me not not none of these people here nobody here was opening up their linkedin
on march 2020 into who marie uh you know i would love to start this off on a positive note so i was
wondering if you had any any positivity to bring to the pod before we start i got some positivity
for that ass so i went to stop and shop today to pick up a few items i said i'm gonna get up i'm
start the day the week strong i'm a grown-up first of all the stop and shop on atlantic avenue is not
where you should go don't don't go there if you're ever in brooklyn because i went in and i guess the
time that i was there is like peak people asking you to get them stuff time because in one aisle
like four different people approached me at four different times i'm looking at
the green um the peas right the sweet peas the green peas and some guy came up to me we make
eye contact above his mask i'm like oh he's kind of cute he was like hey i was like hey he's like
how you do i was like i'm good he's like you know i make music i'm selling it an album for a dollar
i said oh i said i said good luck with that and he was like okay conversation over he left i'm
looking at the the garbanzo beans now some other dude comes up a lady with lashes these crazy heavy
lashes comes up to me hi sis you know i'm just wondering if you could help me buy a couple items
i'm like sis i'm here to get my own groceries i can't help you today she's like that's fine
further down this same aisle this young dude comes up he's like hey i'm not homeless i have two
dollars i just want to know i was like bro sir i said it's a lot of people in here begging today
i can't help all of y'all he was like marie what were you wearing were you wearing your fur coat
like what the fuck why did they think you all had so much money no but i had on my t-boss wig you
know the asia wig oh yeah they were like okay she must have a chest tattoo or something she's one of
us yo wealthy auntie wealthy auntie on the loose got it yo so i like scared this young dude away
and then at the end of the aisle there was a dude kind of hanging out of a wheelchair like literally
like tilting out of the wheelchair and i was like yo i'm okay come on marie what is about to happen
right here come on run these bits sis that you're gonna do on insta stories let's go this is not a
bit it happened to me today not all of us use our podcast to try out material some of us are having
actual conversations with the listeners a wheelchair a guy in a wheelchair a man in a
wheelchair not yeah we've heard it all we've heard it all hanging okay show of hands how many people
think i'm lying we we we so we have somebody who's selling a mixtape cd sis an album wait this
is also in a store as well yeah andrew stop and shop across from the barclay center today at noon
okay okay then they get in the wheelchair i was like okay if i make i didn't even want to make
eye contact with him and i was like do you need help and he was like no and i was like you don't
need me to help you get out my way or nothing marie you're being ableist i'm not saying this
i'm just saying what the listeners will write in the reviews we're ableist we're fat phobic
but we're white phobic well i'm just if it makes the listeners feel any better everybody that i
was talking to was black so what that make me now what that make me now problematic that's what it
makes you sis whatever so okay well you didn't give him any money i didn't all right so that's
That's what happened today.
And then I left the supermarket so fast,
I forgot half of the stuff that I went in there to pick up.
So now I got to go back to the store tomorrow to get eggs.
Well, Marie, I cannot relate because I went to the bodega the other day
and a woman asked me, could I help her get a knish?
And I thought she wanted me to pick the knish up for her
or like order it for her because I guess she couldn't speak.
But she wanted me to buy it.
and uh you know a black woman asking for a knish very cultural thing that is a knish
it's for the jews it's for the jews it's for the jews are you allowed to say for the jews
okay okay you called me you i'm running bits but you what what bitch you running
what meeting are you attending after this wait isn't it knish isn't that like a jewish
a jewish dish it's it's the way you said it's the way you said for the jews
well i'm getting older marie this is just how it comes out of your mouth once you hit
40. quiche? no a knish it's like a potato type like a like a latke
no it's not it's not it's like a you know here let me they have knishes at the bar at the at
The Bodega Bayou?
That's astounding.
Yes.
Okay.
Why is it astounding?
Because nobody here knows what that is.
Well, people are just not cultured.
Okay.
A knish is a traditional Jewish snack food consisting of a filling covered with dough that is typically baked and sometimes deep fried.
Knishes are usually purchased from street vendors in urban areas with a large Jewish population.
well I haven't seen a Jew in this neighborhood
since I got in this bitch
but anyway she asked for it
and I was like well maybe
maybe her
homeless boyfriend is Jewish I don't know
but I got
but I got it for her it was
actually $1.50 and I said I had it
well actually I had
$10 out and that's why I was like
I was about to say I don't think I have enough
but I got it anyway
Sydney roll
yo Sydney just picked up a phone
call i gotta go okay my my delivery is outside one second um marie can you can you talk to andrew
for one second i'm sorry no i'm on break if sydney's on break i'm on break i too am on break
i'm not on i'm not on break i'm i told you that i was getting food you could have thrown you could
have intro the guest and we could have had a whole conversation without you is what i don't want to
have the conversation without their guests so i'm gonna intro the guests as soon as you get up i'm
intro him bye go go get your food bye ah and we're back listen nobody knows what a knish is
andrew did you google it what the what the google image is a hot pocket with stuff in it they look
like little like dumplings almost all right like ready dumplings okay well they sound nasty um
well let's bring the guest in just to get on sydney's nerves uh he's been on the podcast
before you love him you know him he's our esteemed uh light-skinned guest for black
history month today give it up for our hate expert our hating expert langston kerman
hey what up what up welcome to the most racist problematic podcast available on the internet
well your podcast is more problematic than our podcast i don't know y'all niggas are shining
right now y'all really acting up on this podcast you went on a whole rant about how a wheelchair
man didn't deserve money and then no I didn't say the wheelchair man didn't deserve money but I
needed him to get out my way he was in the middle of the aisle that's not how I heard it I heard you
you say you wanted to scoot him out of your way
so that you could close your fur coat like Cruella DeVille that's the way I heard first of all it
was a green trench um second if you're in the store and people are asking you for money or just
out because there's a lot of homeless people in LA I'm not saying anybody at the supermarket was
homeless today because they all looked very with homes so when people approach you for money or
ask you to buy them stuff how do you usually react see here's the here's the difference between LA
and New York and I forgot this uh very valuable uh tidbit now that I've been in LA as long as I
have is uh we keep ours outside you know what i mean like we're very unkind to to our unhoused
friends and and it should be looked at and solved but frankly the one thing they do effectively is
make sure the motherfuckers aren't allowed in uh businesses and certainly not allowed to uh beg for
money at in when they come into business i don't know when i lived in la i would see homeless people
at the open mics like on the buses at nighttime and at open mics doing stand-up so it was like
yeah well that's not a business they respect they're not going to protect our open our best
open micers in the world they only care about the i don't know i don't know what happened to him he
said he was outside he's not outside he's not picking up the phone call whatever girl ain't
nobody worried about your food that ain't that ain't what we talking about we're talking about
the homeless community right now oh okay okay all right well she coming in talking about food
and her Postmates delivery.
What'd you order? Tell us what you ordered.
I ordered salmon teriyaki
with a
What's wrong with that?
What does that mean? Is salmon with a teriyaki
glaze?
I was going to put
that tone on whatever you said.
Oh, okay.
It made no difference. You could have said the most
reasonable meal and I was going to be like,
this is all dumbass.
Fried oysters.
Shut up.
That's Amari.
and then is it sides or something
yeah there's it's a it's a bento
box okay here he is here he is
you see this you see how she jump in and she
jump back out and her mouth is on
her mouth on the mic and everything
right she don't even care about the
quality of your podcast
no timing to this
she just is answering the way
she would regularly answer
now she's upset and you know
what happened she probably put the wrong address
listen of her own home of her own home it's wild now she ain't she's not even putting the
this is crazy she threw a microphone like frankie i'm sorry i'm so sorry he was running
like i had ordered it a while ago and they were running behind and now he's even more behind and
it's like what the fuck okay i'm sorry i apologize thanks and i know that you're very busy i'm sorry
I am devastated by this unprofessional behavior.
Langston, what would you be doing if you weren't on the podcast right now?
My wife wanted to go to Bed Bath & Beyond, and I got out of it because of this.
So what you should be doing is thanking us.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, listen, I appreciate what you've done, but I also expect that this is going to run
long because Sydney wanted salmon teriyaki in the middle of it, which means that it then
is going to obstruct my evening in a different
kind of way because you know
you know she's going to be eating it on
the pod oh she's going to eat on the pod
no I don't Marie when's the last
time I ate on the pod she's going to duck down and be like
when's the last time I
haven't done that Marie last Wednesday
I don't know Sydney
Marie where's the like
where's the sisterhood in this bitch like
Sydney we're literally watching
you ordering food
getting up to go get it and you're like
where's the sisterhood sis
I'm telling you what you're doing
this is
exciting I've never seen a friendship
tear apart in front of my own eyes
but this is
you already just won't have my back
she'll just like throw me under the bus
Sydney the bus is the postmates
delivery man that's bringing you

i just i'm like come on now give me a break she's just hangry because she hasn't eaten anything yet
today the salmon teriyaki is about to be her first meal that's what it is yes absolutely that's
exactly what it is that that ain't got nothing to do with us baby girl i'm sorry good to know
marie good to know thank you appreciate you much sis i feel like when people when the reviews come
in for this episode they're not gonna say marie did anything wrong sydney they're gonna say man
langston sure sounded uncomfortable the reviews are in and that nigga was nervous it went from
being kind of silly to not
silly no more.
But
tell us when it got not silly no more.
Tell us exactly when that happened.
Hard to know.
We were giggling and then Sam and
Teriyaki got two minutes later and

before the podcast it was supposed to get here before they're late this is not my fault where'd
you order it from is is it at least a lovely uh facility is it a good restaurant i order from it
all the time and it's always on time it always takes 40 minutes i can't pronounce the name of
the place that's why you're late because you can't pronounce the name they're like well she
she playing with us we gonna play with her too oh my god yeah it's great okay well i i don't know
i don't know what to do this it's still not here he told me two minutes it's been two minutes they
there are running very behind and it's either been two minutes or the longest 30 seconds of
my life and i don't know which one it's been longer than two minutes because now we we 19
minutes in and when sydney came back it was 13 so it's been right uh right so langston i'm sorry

you were sorry the tone didn't feel sincere sis man i gotta stop i'm i'm antagonistic you are
which is no no no it's totally fine Langston we appreciate you for spending your time dealing with
this unprofessional podcast that's from the ghetto and it's from the ghetto because of me
oh the podcast is from the ghetto oh yeah because it's it's from me for me I'm making it ratatata
because we're now almost 30 minutes in and we have not started but we have that salmon teriyaki
go ahead okay okay so so what is the plan then friend because we can still have a conversation
but you're saying that we can't we can have a conversation I feel like as soon as you have
a conversation then the salmon teriyaki is gonna show up I'm not gonna go get it I just said that
I'm not gonna go I'm gonna have him leave it at the door I'm gonna let it be cold so that I can
do this podcast is he gonna be able to get into your apartment no he's not gonna be able to get
in an apartment so it's just gonna sit outside yes that's what i'm gonna do sydney you're not
gonna let your that seems unreasonable and uh the whole thing the whole thing is being unreasonable
because all right blaming me for something that i had no control over well you could have called
you should you could have ate earlier sis it's nighttime so you had control over that
you're making a fight back in no i'm not doing this with you marie you always start things
literally a minute before the podcast
and you're like oh well you know I had to go to the bathroom
and then you're here and we're like
well why didn't you just go to the bathroom
hold on Sydney don't do that
please don't do that
me going to the bathroom is not a
22 minute conversation on our podcast
don't do that
hey y'all be Simone
trending again and it's not good news
okay
Langston what is she trending for
let's switch gears a little bit
Because she went on a long rant saying that women sit around talking about all the different qualities that they expect of a man, a certain height requirement, a certain money requirement, a certain education, a certain connection to their family and friends.
and uh you all don't this is her words not mine but you all don't uh have that for yourselves
that you haven't spoken to your own mothers in six months you expect me to be deeply connected to
to my family i mean i think that's true with uh people of both sexes people have sure like there
are lots of people who are like unqualified for the person that they think they should be with
um but not all women and not all men no i agree with that but it's only funny if b simone's getting
made fun of for dumb shit that she said without any of that perspective so you know is b simone
with somebody right now i would i would say with uh with the hand of god b simone is
is in a relationship with the hand of god and unfortunately it seems to be god's backhand at
the moment but but he got that hand on her somebody said was b simone not begging a man
under five nine to like her and was bigging up danny lee and basically saying she damn near one
because she's latina she has the self-esteem of a broom but wants to punch down not going for that
we love twitter oh my god it just it will never stop it's it's undefeated my favorite part of
the video is she's uh she's not wearing a bra in the video while she's like slapping a table
and ranting and her uh jingles are jangling and whatnot and uh you can see her getting more and
more self-conscious of it as she gets more and more confident in her backwards ass rant about
being the better version of yourself
in order to find the man you deserve.
Sydney, I pray to God you're about
to go get this salmon.
I personally
just don't.
They got a 20% tip.
I want to take it back.
I don't know what this is about.
This is like
over an hour and a half.
The food has to be
cold on God.
This is
truly not my fault but what them temperatures like in new york right now like 30 alexa what's
the temperature it's like oh you ask alexa you got money 32 degrees fahrenheit i didn't i should
have asked my google hey google shut up alexa she said enjoy your monday um okay i don't understand
why women feel like they need to make these proclamations about other women and post them
to their followers but not all not all women are like that yeah i i always uh i maintain this
feeling that i think that uh it's often a choice of trying to impress some dudes like it's a very
specific type of dude that's gonna look at that and be like yeah this bitch gets it and it's like
i guess that's who they're aiming for because it's definitely not other women who are going to
be like yeah you nailed it sis it's like no i i i think it's more about it's easier to talk about
other people than to talk about yourself it's easier to say well you've done this that that
that's wrong but to look inward and be like this is actually my story it's so hard to present that
it's like why are you talking about everybody else's business except your own that's weird
right like why isn't b simone talking about women who sell books that they plagiarize
and then say yeah that is a manifestation book like why is she not talking about women that do
that yeah yeah what that b stands for focus on that find out what the b stands for and then we
can you can get into to all the the rights and wrongs teriyaki here i pray to god it is because
i still got that tension in my chest i don't but i know i just this is
where you pee okay whatever langston what did you eat today how about that let's see
what food did you eat today uh so far i've had uh i only have one meal as well but it's it's
much earlier here i i had a tender greens plate oh that i enjoyed quite a bit like tender greens
but that's only an LA thing
oh they don't have
tender greens in New York
what did you get what protein
tender greens pop
I got myself a tuna
nicoise salad
nicoise that's right
I believe it's French I believe so too
or a whole bunch of shit
nicoise
that's the direct translation
how we doing on that
salmon teriyaki it's in your home
it's good
fuck yeah let's start the podcast
we're starting it hot
30 minutes in let's do it
let's do this it's gonna be worth it
it's gonna be so fun
I can't wait I'm so excited
okay
okay I don't start
whoever starts
okay well we left off
with Marie talking about her
like shop right
homeless expedition
and we ended on
be Simone so
I think we can just
intro Langston and
move on from there.
All right. Y'all got to be nice
to each other first. Everybody's got to be
It's clear that Marie doesn't. She doesn't want
to move on. She's got like the
attitude face and it's like
I have that attitude face. You do
Marie. You have that attitude the entire
episode. No I haven't. And now I have attitude
face. You guys are attacking me
For attacking you, Sydney.
You sound like a white woman right now.
Attacking you?
That's the language that people who are not being attacked use.
Attacking you.
What?
Seriously?
You're giving me a hard time about the delivery.
I didn't even say anything else.
You did, Marie.
We're going to run the tapes back.
You did.
I said I didn't say anything else.
You said we were going to restart.
So go ahead and intro Langston, sis.
The air is thick.
but we're gonna cut through it and we're gonna have a great time i'm gonna get more wine
i'm gonna bring a bottle in here because
yes sydney introduced the guest no marie i'm not doing this like either we're gonna do it right or
we could cut the we could cut it tonight because i'm not i'm not doing this it was an accident i'm
sorry and i just i want to have a good podcast we have been having a good podcast i feel like
you're missing it that's what we i'm fine andrew's fine we're gonna listen back to this and laugh
and it'll be great okay langston any input here yeah there's a chill in the air uh a cold chill
running up my spine it feels like sleepy hollow in my home but i'm fighting through it
all right let's let's move forward we're have we have a a good old guest that we haven't had
in over many many years but when he came here he was the light-skinned expert and now he's come to
to one up that expert i mean he's been on many many shows after that very one of our most famous
friends uh give it up for langston kerman and he's our hating yeah yes all right it's like deja vu
hi langston hey everybody it's good to see y'all with no other context it is
what a dream to see you both with no other information ahead of this moment
oh what a treat wow wow yes and andrew you as well i didn't mean to leave you out what a pleasure
oh my gosh it's great to meet you obsession this whole thing langston you seem like such a
lovable likable person so hating expert yeah i i uh i this is all a ruse this is a long con that
i've i've learned to build over the years to uh to get all my hate out i realize that it's easier
to just smile and wave than it is to scowl and uh let people know how you really feel especially
if you don't want to square up which i do not more often than right fighting is no fighting it's not
my thing i'll roast you i'll uh write something backhanded on a piece of paper and uh hand it to
you as i run away but i don't want to fight nobody that ain't my shit have you ever sorry
but rip but i was gonna say have you ever been in a fight i have been in fights before uh i would
say i i'm at a i'm at a uh uh like a two and two record you know what i mean
this kid ari who was a friend of mine growing up smacked the shit out of me one time when we
were fighting over basketball and whoo i didn't win that one but then i got another fights in
school where like I did all right I nobody was walking away like hey don't fuck with Langston
no more that nigga's crazy but I did pretty good so you're so you're like I'm I'm being easygoing
for the system but really in internally you're like you hate everything yeah yeah there's very
few things uh particularly related to the things that I care about that I enjoy well well that
sounds very new york of you that sounds like through and through a new yorker yeah but i'm
not from new york and i ain't got no reason to behave this way we're kind decent people
yeah nope well chicago's an exception i think i've maintained this for a lot of years that
chicago is a city built on hate that like uh that's how we propel each other forward is by being
haters through and through okay so we have a bunch of different types of people who listen
people from all over the world we're very famous international international uh so what is a hater
like if you don't like something are you a hater or is it more than that you know i think that's
a good question i think that hating is not liking something that you could have just let live
oh okay that sounds like the oxford definition yeah i mean i imagine i imagine people with uh
with a more whole heart you know what i mean if the whole if all the pieces in your heart are
fully formed you see something you don't like and you process it and you know i don't care for that
too much and you move on with your day you have a nice a nice salmon teriyaki if you will you
enjoy a nice meal you know what I mean but a hater yeah now a hater you're gonna let that simmer
you're not gonna be able to enjoy your meal because you got that you got that extra sitting
in your chest right you're gonna write a dissertation about it online and be like well
I never liked anything that this person did anyway and that's that's where I take issue I don't go
online with my shit I keep it private it's it's not meant for the public but I do tell quite a
few people in group chats and uh smaller circles smaller networks of people about how I feel
and that's perfect because now you're on this pod and we can really get into this hateration
holleration now I I look at a hater I look at a hater and something is good and they are hater
and they're just gonna they're gonna shit on it regardless of how oh that's how I look at it so
you think oh okay so to be a hater something has to to objectively be quality and then somebody
has to be coming in and just trying to to scuff it up for no good reason yes scuff is a good word
um thank you i uh i freestyled that one i i'd say that that the difference for me is that i don't
actually think that that many things exist that are objectively good okay okay i think i think
there's a lot of shit that people will tell you are good is good or tell you or want you to believe
is good but if you really look at the shit it's fine it's all right it is a lot of fine that
people elevate to amazing or excellent decent it's decent so langston just give us a couple
things that you hate that you think most people like and I don't know how I don't know how to do
this because now you got that weird uh that weird motion going you well no because you got I but
because I agree with the definition that you and Sydney both gave um kind of but I also but I also
don't like a lot of things that people like and sometimes I don't like things that people like
specifically because so many people like it like oh for me sometimes the more people enjoy
one particular thing the more I want to just like not be a part of that at all
oh see I don't I don't know that I have that I don't think I get oppositional that I think that's
oppositional I think I would define that differently like that to me is like y'all
motherfuckers ain't gonna tell me how i'm supposed to feel and i think i hope that uh my hating while
unhealthy and probably gonna kill me by 55 is not rooted in just like a uh a want to to uh just move
against the grain if you will okay but i but this this is this is where i'm like okay hating
you could if something you think is bad i think it's okay to think that it's bad but i think that
if you're going out of your way to trash it publicly um i think that's like real hater
behavior that it was it's unnecessary you just not like it and not watch it well here's what
i'd ask you when and this is a very r kelly quote of it oh when we say public how public are we
talking you know when you say i'm talking how old are we talking that's an r kelly quote ew
you ain't never heard that he was talking to uh what's his name uh i can't remember his name from
bet he had the afro real skinny guy uh toray he was talking to ray in the interview right after
the trial after he had been acquitted and to raise first question to r kelly is uh robert
do you like teenage girls and then he thinks for a second he thinks real hard on and he says
all right when you say teenage how old are we talking
literally 13 right to 18 I think 13 to 19 19 I'd say 19 is included as well anything with the word
teen in it Robert well to uh to answer your question I think like some journalists they go
out of their way or people who are critics they go out at like critics I think you should be
focused on it on the stuff that you like and you not writing about the things that you don't like
is speaking volumes that oh it must maybe it's not good because you're not giving it uh that energy
but critics who go on and on and on on the internet to be like yeah that special wasn't
good that comedian is not good this was that movie is trash and they they more so talk about
how bad things are than the good things i think they're using their platform and in a in a bad way
they could do better it's just focused on like a critic's job is to be critical of the thing that
they're reviewing and they're haters a lot i think a lot of critics want to be in the position
that they're critiquing they're like oh i wish i could make that movie or i wish i could be an
actor but they're not if you look at a lot of the critics especially in comedy they wanted to be
comedians and failed and now they're critiquing comedy who the fuck are you you didn't it didn't
even work out for you so now you're in a position to be like yeah that's special uh homophobic blah
blah blah and it's just like dude talk about the stuff that you like i i will say that i don't i
i take a lot of issue with uh critics while i do love hate and uh i i live by it i thrive in it
i was born you're wallowing i wallow in it i i do take a lot of issue for the exact reasons that
you're saying sydney but then i think about like uh who would i want to critique the actual shit
like if i wanted like an honest perspective on what it is and i don't think comics could do that
either i don't think our peers could genuinely give us a real response of like what the shit is
either nope because a lot of people that in in that part of it i agree with sydney and that if
when you listen to comics review other stand-up specials there are a lot of people who will use
that time to hate because they didn't get that opportunity because they didn't get to shoot that
and blah blah blah i think there's more hate there but i also think people throw the word
hater around i mean ever since meno did that song in 2000 whatever everybody i hate her and it's
like no i just don't like this i don't think everything is hating sometimes something is not
good i do think i will say that that i think the advancement of that is when you you start to try
to sway other people's opinions on that issue right that be it's small or large at the point
that you're like now taking this to a larger group and being like hey this is stupid right
you're you you're adding some hate to the mix i won't call you a hater but you're you're hate-ish
you're you're a kenya barris uh uh pilot hate coming to to disney channel with disney plus
hate-ish is is what he's working on okay wait so langston you're not gonna tell us some some
things that you don't like well no because then we're gonna fall into the the the dangerous space
that i've set up for myself i've created quite a net i don't want to lose my net yeah but this is
it could be lightning it could be lightning round and we'll just be like oh i like that oh no i don't
like that oh yeah okay i i think that's a good one all right y'all start it off y'all say what
you like and then i'll tell you why it's stupid i love that okay i i like the i like the animation
soul i thought that was nice i i love a good story about mortality and uh i did i will say that all
the critiques of it being a black film were dumb as fuck and i i hated the the response okay we're
talking about hate i hate yeah uh so many of the takes that have now become very common in terms of
black media where we see a black person and then it has to now be representation of all blackness
soul was not a black film no it was a film about mortality starring jamie foxx drawn as an a roy
wood jr type character yeah and that's not the same thing do you know what i mean like that's
not a black film it wasn't built for black people the fact that we can identify ourselves and it
just means a type of progress that we should be celebrating whereas i think princess and the frog
is much more of an actual like slight against black people if you want to unpack that in some
kind of way well yeah because she was a frog for 90 of the movie and then the rest of the movie
she was a maid's daughter she was uh yeah i think it it's a reflection of of their inability to
imagine us as anything other than some real shit like it being based in new orleans like y'all
and make up a bunch of whimsical ass
countries for every
other princess that's a conversation
to be had but that nigga soul
he was that's just
that nigga soul
his name wasn't even soul
just playing the piano
and being his best self
I got no complaints
okay okay
Andrew is there something that you like or hate
or are we hating on
Justin Timberlake well I've never liked
him so yeah Justin Timberlake's a dumb bitch I I think he I think he manipulated and listen I was
a big fan for years I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy the music 2020 experience I saw it
I enjoyed it oh you went to the show so good no no no I just I just met with it I was like oh you
really gave him your dollars got it but nah yeah he's a bad guy that that apology was a uh an
embarrassment just him like slightly apologizing for really mean things that he did to a number
of people over the years without any accountability is you don't get to just be like I might have
hurt some folks and and my bad on that one he said I'll get you guys next time I'm not gonna
probably like moonwalking off beat when he was like and like hey Janet I'm gonna get you a new
bra I'm gonna take care of you baby girl cover them titties up he's such a mess we don't like
him um okay something random that i like or don't like is that what is that what we're doing i don't
i forgot i don't know this y'all show well i was asking you to list some things and we was going
just lightning round it that's what i asked i'm scared i'm scared to tell you about the things
that actually upset me because why it's too close in proximity and too dangerous for for anybody's
brand you guys have a brand to protect too no we don't i don't think you really understand the pod
we've been doing it for four years we have said the messiest some of the outlandish
problematic things on here and we're i mean we're still working i don't think it's that
problematic the things that we've said we've we're just honest and um we stand in our um our
truths that's it that's all i've never i mean i've made i've made fun of people on here that
i'm like oh they could definitely listen to this and be like bitch what 100 but i'm not making we're
not making blanket terrible statements about i think sometimes we no no no beige community but
that's you know that's that's a given that's fine i always forget that y'all call beige
white people beige growing up i was referred to as beige and it never not doesn't hurt my feelings
when i hear y'all say it doesn't hurt your feelings or it does oh it does hurt my feelings
every single time i i it reminds me of a story when i was uh growing up my my mother's second
husband okay uh listen she's at four uh her second yes we do we go off mom here huh what's
your mom's name wanda wanda yes yes yeah i think this last one's gonna stick he's a good man
They live in Ghana now. Anyway, my mom, her second husband, their family lived in Cabrini Green, which is a very famous project building or series of buildings, a collection of buildings, if you will, in Chicago.
They no longer exist. But we went to visit them one time for Easter and we were in the building and I had never met his family before.
This is my first time meeting the family. And I walked in the building and we're sitting in their apartment. And then the children, the other children of this home, there's like four of them, call to the other neighbors in the building.
they like go have a meeting out in the hallway of this project building and then they bring the
neighbors to the door and they go hey y'all look at our white cousin look at him look at our white
cousin they make me stand in the doorway so that they could show their their friends their peers
that they have a white cousin and then i told their daddy and they got the ass whooped so you
know i'm a big snitch too we can do that if y'all more focused on snitching i do that too well
Langston did you used to be like a really
pale child because
no these were just
children who didn't
see white people that often and
I was the closest thing that they knew
as a reference
you you're that you're the
tannis of the light skins that I
know so you got
some color color on your face
yeah you know melanated Wanda
Wanda did what she could
well your is your is your dad wait is it who's who's my father is white on your side
your father is white the kerman part the kerman part is the white one
we did we did talk about that uh many years ago on the light-skinned expert y'all go back to that
it was great okay so you don't you don't want to talk about what you actually hate and i i
understand it because you know you're you're on the boys you're right for many shows i mean you
you have i can get into general themes let's get into some themes i think that's a good place to
land us maybe that'll that'll help open this flower up a little bit eh i i say you are the
white cousin i don't know the canadian sometimes i'm sometimes i'm a little australian who knows
why i talk the way i talk mate okay mate i just if you hear something if you hear something that's
been buggered yes i've just i was just gonna say if you're gonna be the hating expert i need you
to hate something i need to hear something okay let's get into it okay here's something that's
been uh ruffling my feathers as of late uh grinding your eyes yeah this is grinding and
shit out of my gears i take a lot of issue with the the manipulative uh behavior of the internet
there's been quite a lot uh of things that i've been tracking as of late claudia conway let's get
into that okay there's a lot of manipulation happening around this little girl who uh who
is basically just a a a misbehaving child if you ask me a badass 16 year old behaving the way that
many 16 year olds do i'm not calling that good or bad or deciding that she's safe or unsafe i truly
don't know but what i do know is all you sick fucks at home who are sitting there and retweeting
her and telling her how brave she is are fucking crazy you're 30 there's no 16 year old in the
world that i would ever like uh uh big up and be like you're so brave you're a champion you should
be supported shut the fuck up and figure it out like the rest of the 16 year olds
how old is the little girl that's traveling the world and not going to school on a boat
how old is that girl who's that greta how old is she i believe she's also 16 ish she got to be like
9 or 10 or something like that no i think she's older than 9 she ain't been to school since 2002
How old is she, Andrew?
Greta is 18.
18.
Really?
I know who she is.
The face is giving.
Okay.
Wow, she looks good.
Okay, well, she's been through a lot.
No, I thought she was younger than 18.
Good for her.
Well, she's got a green skincare program is what she does.
She's all green.
No pesticides or preservatives in her lotions.
That ozone layer serum that she's using.
I love this for her.
um i mean but now she's on but now uh the the the conway chick is american yeah and i think
that's hugely unhealthy and i shame on katie perry shame on lionel richie and shame on that
other one whose name i don't know for for involving themselves in the life of a child
who is not particularly talented by all accounts it wasn't like she nailed the audition you guys
are just advancing this so that you can
advance a problematic story
and create a Britney Spears
this is how you fucking create this shit because
we obsess over a human being
instead of being honest about a
sickness that's happening I feel
so you know I was gonna
say I feel like
when's the
last time we talked about American Idol
American Idol needs
this more than they need anything else
it's not about
Claudia it's it's not about
Kellyanne it's let's do this thing it's gonna propel us as a trending topic it's gonna be
something that people are gonna be talking about on news on blah blah blah and that's what it
because I watched a little piece of the audition and I was like oh I have to cut this off I don't
know what key she's singing on this is she don't know either she just she just being 16 and that's
okay very tone deaf I think that that's the beauty of 16 as a former educator I I watched 16 year
kids walk up to me and me like mr carmen this is my dream i want to do this and i had to listen to
their bullshit and i had to go i don't know man try your best but i don't i don't retweet it and
tell everybody how brave they are and like complain about their home situation i help them navigate as
an honest person caring about them but this is also tv right like i don't look at american idol
as a real talent show yes it has propelled people who are talented but i don't most of the things on
tv is not based off talent there's all these like ulterior motives and things that they want to uh
uplift or take down and and and that's what it's all about it's all about the storylines that's why
reality tv is the way it is it's some producer being like all right now now okay so we gonna
get them in this room and we gonna make this this argument happen they it's all for for viewership
they need people to tune in and nobody wants to tune in and see people just having a regular time
they i think i think that's absolutely fair and i can't argue with that at all but i do think that
for every person who goes on the internet and advocates for the safety of this individual
while simultaneously propelling them through the drama you are a hypocrite you are part of the
problem that you are complaining has been created much in the way of the britney spears fans who are
now like constantly advocating for her to be released from her father's grasp meanwhile the
reason that she is in her father's grasp is because you obsessed over her so often and so
long that the tabloids felt like they had to service your obsession it's but it wasn't it
wasn't and then complain about the sickness but the thing about britney spears is it wasn't just
her fans that were obsessed with her people were like hate watching and hate reading the britney
spears stuff as well and i think that really is what propelled it because people that didn't even
care about britney spears were like she shaved her head look look at her with this umbrella
hitting this car like the fans weren't saying that they were like oh i think she looks good
or they were like oh i hope she's okay but it's the other it's the other side of it also that we
gotta we have to think about is the hate watching i did i think but i would argue and this actually
gets me into a a slightly different subject but similar uh in in theme is i think that there are
quite a few people who know and and knowingly uh uh invest themselves in their own sort of like
opposition in their own fight right that like the fans while they weren't rooting for her to lose
did want britney news at all times so they weren't fighting the idea that britney was becoming more
and more sick they still wanted britney to be in front of them all the time so yes i agree it
wasn't like they were going on and being like look at this dumb bitch with a bald head and an
umbrella but they meanwhile do want a reason to argue on the internet so when people when britney
acts up that gives them something to now push against when they go leave britney alone it's not
it's not uh just defending britney it also is propelling them forward no but the internet was
completely different when those tabloids was coming out it had nothing to do with the internet
it was more like society loves making a star they love to see the journey they want to lift lift lift
lift people up and then when you get to the point of like oh this is annoying now they want to see
you fall they love to see when a celebrity is being messy and going to rehab they did it to
lindsey lohan they they do it to even whitney houston they they love to see oh yeah she doing
crack now like we're getting mad at these journalists right we're mad at barbara walters
but barbara walters was doing no no no it wasn't barbara walters it was diane sawyer don't don't
do barbara like diane sawyer sorry sorry so sorry she's a nice yeah yeah no no diane sawyer's a
weird whisperers he's a little different but yeah barbara yeah diane soyer but at the time this
this is what we tune in for you know 2020 this is these are the reasons why we want to see we
want to see the behind the music we the e hot e true hollywood stories they're asking the messy
questions that will get get the the little blurb that you need to hear that people will be like oh
okay i'm gonna read about this i want to know more i and i would say that that that to me is
part of the sickness I feel the same way about like the way that people manipulate the black
experience now back like it's a bunch of people who if you took away black suffering wouldn't
have anything to tweet about wouldn't have anything to to sort of build their identity on
and I for one I enjoy being black for a multitude of reasons that ain't got shit to do with slavery
and anything else that was problematic in our history and while I'm not advocating in any way
i don't want your listeners to turn on me i'm not advocating in any way that we ignore that history
that we pretend the shit didn't exist but get the fuck out of here that every day you got to bring
up some sad news shut the fuck up and tweet about your shit well see langston that's how i feel
about a lot of the black films and a lot of the content that like celebrating black voices and
It's always somebody getting beat up or whipped or lynched.
I can't watch that stuff.
My soul, okay, call back, can't, that, I can't.
I don't, every time I see, like, something happens crazy with, like, the police or a black person,
I don't watch those videos because I don't need to go to sleep seeing those things.
I don't watch, I'm not, I've never seen 20 Years a Slave.
I'm done watching slave movies.
I don't, I haven't seen Harriet.
I haven't seen The Help.
i don't need to see these things because i first of all i've read the books i know what happened
my my mind already knows but my my soul and my brain and my conscious i don't need to see the
visuals to to support black things or to like be a real black person but i just i wish that they
were still making movies that are as like black people being as stupid as white people are allowed
to be in their movies can can we can we can we do a black dude wears my car can we do hell yeah
i want to see a movie where a black man fucks a pie and none of us make it about race it's purely
just a man who is horny for pie and and it's it's called negro american pie you can call it
something it's called it's called peach cobbler that's what it's called yeah it could it could
it could be a blackberry pie whatever you want it to be i mean they just i think that i i am
against like hating on social
media even though it helps some
people's careers I think it
it's instant gratification
that's not healthy and it
doesn't
it doesn't cultivate
better talents you know what I mean
because they want everything to be so quick
and like a sound bite and they want
60 seconds and they want to be able to
oh this is digestible real
quick and then everybody could share it
and then oh boom this person
is a star and it's like when I
was growing up like people literally comedians had to go on tour to actually get their fan base
there was no I'm gonna put up this one minute stand-up clip and then now I'm touring I'm in
Australia like it's just even further I would say that a fair amount of the people who are able now
to do all of that when they get in person aren't that good at the thing like there's so many of
them and you know again i'll be careful but i i think you're trying to say it's a lot of like
people from uh tiktok and youtube and what's the one the one and and instagram and a whole bunch
of other space we can hate on tiktok i'm i'm for hating on but they can't dance on tiktok i'm gonna
say that they're in a multitude of spaces sort of like uh accessing resources that that rightfully
belong to them because they're good at whatever
that thing is. But also
now these titles are being applied
to them that aren't realistic to what
they can do. You know what I mean? Like every
fucking list that you see on
Vulture, Variety, whatever it
is, is a list of motherfuckers who
can't follow me. And that's crazy.
You know what I'm saying?
That's wild. Langston, let's
discuss these lists.
Langston has
not been on any of these lists, mind you.
But it's fine. It's fine.
I don't have PR. I'm not going to go play that game in the same way that they are.
And I think what I'm saying more importantly is go crazy.
If that's the type of thing that you want to do, I'm not here to stop you,
but I am going to hate on it and I am going to fully acknowledge.
I know what trick you're playing, but the audience doesn't.
They don't know that you pay somebody to help you get, you know,
attention in a certain type of way, but I do.
And that's, I found out, I found out about that last year.
I was like, oh, niggas is getting publicist.
And then I found out how much a publicist is in us.
I said, I could not ever go in my pocket.
$5,000.
$5,000.
And that's for a short amount of time.
That's not a publicist for the year.
They do a little, they do a roundabout for like whatever you're doing press for.
And then they're done.
Then you got to do.
Then it's another $5,000.
You got to pay them again.
Wow.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I went to a meeting and they were like, the guy was like, I love the podcast.
I love you guys.
You know what you need?
a publicist what they're like yes you and marie should split how much it costs i said how much
five thousand dollars i said why would we pay that why don't people just say that we're good
and we get the press right now she's calculating the numbers she pulled out her phone i said we
don't have the money two thousand five hundred dollars each i said i'm yeah i said scrounge
that up no we don't i said if you think i told the guy in the meeting i said if you think we're
that good you should pay for a publicist for us i said there's no way you could tell the artists
that i my broke ass needs to pay we gotta start talking about titties or something on the podcast
we gotta change the the cover art yeah that's the thing i think there's a there's a faction of
of the world that we work and live in that would want you to spend that money and there's plenty
of people that we know who have spent that money and benefited from it 100 that's okay but don't
pretend like this is
this is an
elevated version of the art form just tell
me what the fuck happened they spent the money
you didn't so go crazy
well because they're embarrassed
they're embarrassed that they had to pay for
a publicist but in
he's embarrassed about paying for a publicist though
the people who can afford to pay for a
publicist
it's like having a manager or an agent
for them it's just like a part of the team
and if you and I think
you we're we're repped right like i i think there's people who don't have reps who are
saying the same shit about people like you and i and all of us like it's it's they're sitting
there like if he didn't have an agent he wouldn't be shit he wouldn't have shit and maybe that's
true i truly don't know but what i do know is at least with stand-up you gotta we all gotta follow
each other we i go you go right and one way or the other we get to see what the shit looks like
lie versus whatever the internet has told us it's meant to be well that's the thing too about these
like vine instagram youtube tiktok people is when they get a certain amount of followers their reps
tell them to do stand-up because they know that they can sell out a weekend in the city or in
atlanta or blah blah blah wherever and people show up to see them perform but at these comedy clubs
the thing that i keep hearing is that they find out real real quick that their funny
a person that they follow their social media star is not funny in real life it was a different funny
so these people who pay to see you that one time they're not coming back the next time you come
back to their city but you've already sold out three dates yeah and and frankly that's the
challenge right is that the now with social media all you got to do is say the shit sold out
you keep selling out it's not a question of the quality of the experience and that just makes it
all complicated and messy but well i want to be honest that i'm going to hate on uh this generation
that because if we want to hate uh they don't actually know what fucking is good or not like
just period like I I remember like listening to albums and I was like oh they really had a band
they're playing these instruments while they're singing they had there's no there was no real
studio voice it was like either you can sing or you cannot sing and so now everything is generated
everything can be filtered and put a spin on it and you're like now we can sell it and that's what
people want to hear anyway they don't want to hear the old school r&b they're like that's old
that's sad it's like no that was people actually putting in the work in their field and that's why
to your point that's why i don't run from the title of hater that's why i'm not scared of it
is because i think personally i believe that we need to bring hating back i think they're this
a certain generation hit i wouldn't even say it's this generation but probably the generation before
where they shamed people for having uh outspoken opinions about like some shit that they didn't
care for for stuff that's trash and then it became like okay well we'll just let everything exist
and run wild and now we have a bunch of people who are are both exceptional and awful living in
the exact same spaces and that's crazy exceptional and awful and everybody both exceptional and
awful is making money and
they're posting on Instagram that they
just bought a house and
it's like but
it was like an
influx this past
year of people who you're like
what do you do and
they're like I just bought my first house I'm
24
right and it's like is everybody
is everybody on line 24
everybody
nobody's 27
everybody's 12
we didn't have the same access like i i mean what did i have a dial up aim like that's about it
you know remember those for you i never got one ipod nano i was never so lucky
and you know good good for them that's great that's great for them but then that's i feel bad
for the generation after this because then they're gonna have to hear all this awful music well all
All the music is not bad, Sidney.
A lot of it, but all of it is not bad.
It's some bops.
Yeah, I'm not going to say I hate it.
I don't like the Dula Peep.
Dula Leeper?
Dula Leeper?
I don't like it.
I don't like it.
Yeah, I'm like, they make it.
She's so good.
And I'm like, I saw her perform, and I was like,
they don't need to have her on stage.
Where did you see her perform?
She could take some.
She was on Saturday Night Live.
No, I didn't see that, but I did listen.
She was on Saturday.
She's performed everywhere.
I'm like, I don't need to see that.
I listened to Dua Lipa like a couple weeks ago for the first time,
and I was like, this is a'ight.
I had a completely different reaction than you, friend.
I said, pretty, please.
I said, I'm here for this.
It's a'ight.
I didn't say it was bad.
Yeah, you were.
Well, I don't think it's as hype as it should be.
i think she's a very thin a very thin girl that's very marketable and that's why she is and i i
think that that has always existed right we've always yes we've always in in music and art and
all these things been competing with somebody's uh attractiveness versus skill that's a conversation
that's as old as time but i do think that there were at least was a period where we were comfortable
being like I don't know that ain't shit but go crazy like enjoy your your thing if that's what
you want and then we reached this period where it wasn't safe anymore to be like that ain't shit
and and I think we got to bring that back we got to we got to come back but you know what it is
it's fan it's stan culture stan culture is what makes people afraid to say what they do or don't
like because especially if the person is famous enough like Nicki Minaj has Nicki Minaj has the
barbs and that's a that's a level of crazy that you're like wait what and they're sick people
right but then beyonce has what's beyonce people called the hive the hive the hive is top tier
will like destroy your life find your pastor's email right post a picture of you from 1998
where you didn't have no teeth like the hive is next level disrespectful yes carrie hilson
has not had a career since.
I don't even know
when has she made a song.
She came out as an anti-vaxxer
this year and I think that sort of
made it a little more complicated.
To that point, maybe Carrie Hilson
doesn't find herself as an anti-vaxxer
if we just hear her out when she
started making fun of Beyonce the first time.
But did she make fun of
Beyonce or what did she
say?
We don't even know.
She might have been like, oh I heard this song.
she might have said i heard it but i didn't really like it and people were like what did you
and it's like not all beyonce songs i'm going on record saying this not all beyonce songs are good
songs she's in a fair she's oh everything doesn't have to be good but like oh it's the overall it's
the overall like oh yeah i fucks with beyonce like yes and i think you'd be an unreasonable i i think
and i that's where i draw the line right is it would be unreasonable for me to come on this
podcast and be like fuck beyonce she ain't that's the soundbite it's clearly that's the sound right
there there we go that's where we're gonna replay everywhere yeah hey uh beyonce can suck my dick
oh huh soundbite number two no no we will we will be thank you we're sending that to
the point is that's an unreasonable position she's obviously one of the most talented people
in her industry there is right in that little like space of people who do what she does she's
the best at it right that said she ain't for me you know what i'm saying like there's a bunch of
times where i'm like i don't give a fuck about whatever this shit that my wife and everybody i
know is going crazy for it ain't for me right but i ain't mad at it and i certainly have to respect
the talent in it whereas there are other people who we don't have to respect the talent in nor
should we but we keep being told we need to and that to me is dangerous and problematic and speaks
to the stand culture that you're talking about of just wanting to obsess over something instead of
be honest about what it actually provides for us i think it's interesting that you quoted r kelly
earlier and now you're saying that yeah yeah thank you bring it back i'm a man who makes subtle
no but he's he's sick and i come from chicago and we spent years obsessing over him i literally knew
the girl he peed on and i still didn't have an understanding of what sexual assault was
because the community around me is telling me that's not the same dangerous person that the
pervert down the street is and it is it's just a more powerful pervert did you go to school with
the girl who got peed on or she was like yes that that is correct she uh he used to come to our uh
our uh games to pick her up she was a cheerleader you know you're but you're not the first person
to tell us this i feel like everyone that i know from chicago has has an r kelly r kelly
to the high school story no he went to a lot of high schools let's not get it twisted it's not
like she was special when he peed on her she was one of many girls that he was sexually assaulting
right uh she just happened to be the one that broke the case open right the p that broke the
camel's back if you will yes right and who would have thought camel's backs could be broken by p
but they sure can so langston are you are you listening to r kelly when it comes on or are
you turning it off that's yeah i don't i don't i don't need those bad feelings i'm not about to be
that guy who like advocates for listening to r kelly i will say that i'm not fighting i everybody
wants me to be mad at michael and i can't do it i don't know michael jackson i can't do well that's
because he died we died we so we can't really get the case yeah but i if i'm being honest i don't
think that the motherfucker was innocent i i truly don't believe that like those boys are just
completely making up the story i don't know that i believe that it went to the extent that they've
uh they've gone to but i do think that any time an adult man is having any level of intimacy with
little white boys there's a problem there it's so good he was
this is before wait a minute little michael ain't never heard nobody right little little michael
i'll fight for little michael all day little michael was hurt he was hurt yes so we so we
can listen to little michael and the jackson five no i'm still listening do you do you remember the
time jackson when it comes on the shuffle so but r kelly is blocked from being played on my phone
and i don't do no i don't do no aura no robert
chris brown to stay away from breezy as much as possible that being said no guidance was a bop
it wasn't it was the one with uh buster rhymes that was a pretty good one oh that was i don't
see how you can hate from outside the club you can't even get in that one there you go that's a
good one yeah i mean listen i think if you have a platform right i think you could use your hating
in a in a good way i think the things that you don't like you just don't mention it because when
you're mentioning it you're giving it more traction so i think if you're a smart hater
you would hate in your group texts and then only promote the stuff that you actually like
on and that's something i wholeheartedly believe i think you're putting it in a better way than i
put it earlier i think that the best thing i can do is just remain silent on the things that that
give me pause because more more often than not the second i go i don't fuck with this thing
at least 30 people are going to gravitate towards it if for no other reason than what you were
sang maria being oppositional or at least being curious about the shit that i hated on yeah yeah
damn i had like a i was i had something i was gonna add to that and then i forgot what it was
oh oh langston sorry before i lose it hate yeah he is what brought down bill cosby okay because
he was hating on a specific community and then hannibal said instead of telling people to pull
they pants up bill you should be you should stop pulling people's pants down and then a whole thing
opened up and look at bill cosby in prison now with his with his glossy eyes he he built a an
empire uh in his latter life later life on on being unkind to poor black people that was his
whole brand was just i've read the fucking transcripts for what they call the pound cake
speech that's the the speech where he he was basically going on those long rants about you
know uh black kids pulling up their pants and all the the terrible mothers who were raising them
and it's just a mean mean person who clearly doesn't feel any connection to anybody under a
certain like economic level and that's fucking crazy and yeah you deserve to get you know your
dick slapped in prison or whatever it is that's happening to him we don't know but and we don't
care but he deserves everything that's happening
to him and like but like how dare
you be hating on that
when you when you got
so much worse
in your closet
yeah why are you worried about
my pants sir where the quaaludes at
let's talk about that and to that
point that's something I also try to do
is like if I'm gonna hate on some shit I
want to at least believe that I'm not putting
out some like equally problematic
version of that thing
most of the stuff I hate I feel
like i at least can uh i can do better or i am doing better on something and i try to leave
some shit that like i can't do alone so even with like the tiktok dances i don't get mad at
motherfuckers getting rich off of tiktok dances because i ain't gonna do it and i don't know how
like i truly don't it's a lot of this and like clapping ish you gotta shimmy clap yeah it's all
in the arms it's all the arms it's less about the it's less about it's actually not even really
about the rhythm at all it's just like maybe you know it's never and there's a slide what
which is which is fine we're not going to be mad at that uh oh oh you know what uh people
were upset about that i i would like to hear your uh take on uh kevin hart they were they
were dragging his special they were saying it's bad it is then he thought
oh it's a terrible special shame on you kevin but also i don't know well it
hold on hold on so then they went into clubhouse and they were dragging it and then he got
in the room and was trying to defend it's special on club but and this is where it gets real sick
for old uh kevin because he part of the reason he went on clubhouse is because he's an investor
in clubhouse and it was like a weird cross promotion pollination type thing of getting
people to be attracted to the thing it's a it's a coy game that he's playing with us but at the
end of the day it was just a dude who put out garbage and he knew he put out garbage but he
also like felt like he needed to have something because his ego is built the way his ego is built
i don't know what to do there's no healing right like i'm not gonna offer up anything that makes
kevin better but also nigga you know what that special was doing relax it was i fell asleep
i put it on and i was like wait he's in his house yeah and i woke up and netflix was like you still
watching and i was like no and i just shut my laptop i'm not watching this no more i watched
every minute of it um you okay well and i'll say this i watch between all the rooms that you're
every special that comes out and i have opinions on every single one even people who i don't care
for from the beginning of watching it well i think we need to do a patreon episode of this
i think people need to pay 20 no 50 if they want to hear what you really can go down the list if we
if this is a paywall situation we can i could tell you without the wall being up how you feel
about andrew schultz special because that's a comic that people keep bringing up when i talk
it was terrible i think we can all agree that that also was not i haven't i didn't watch it
isn't it like a bunch of things it was 15 minutes it's four 15 minute specials it's 60 minutes total
but it's it's his take on four different things most of it is just him making weird jeffrey
Epstein puns and like sort of scolding people for being human. I don't know. It's not great. But
that said, I take a lot of issue. I think my larger issue with a lot of that is there's
something really yucky about this brand of white boy who sort of appropriates black culture without
giving any credit to any of like black culture. It doesn't feel that far from the Jake Paul of it
all for me where it's like
alright motherfucker are we being black or not
like just be honest about where the
fuck you got this from because nigga
you don't talk like that around your family
I'm a hundred percent sure
that ain't your family voice
that's not your talking to the IRS
voice that's not your talking to the accountant voice
that's not getting pulled over voice
that's not how you talk at
Thanksgiving what up fam like
get the fuck out of here you don't talk like that
and nor do I
I don't know he's been like
he's on on guy code he i mean he's been talking like this for a long like yeah but you know he's
been with charlamagne forever so like but you know who else damn i keep you'll get no fight out of
me i agree yeah he put him on and that's that's enough bullshit to me to to even begin the
conversation yeah amongst other things that he did mean things to black women for years before
he woke up and decided to rebrand himself damn langston we gotta get this page started i really
want to know some bridges i don't give a fuck i really feel like you would give us the content
i really wish you would have burned some bridges today but i don't know how to do that
you know we're not gonna we're not gonna keep you for much longer um do you have some tips on how to
hate properly do you have some some tips on how to get over being a hater anything i think a nice
way to hate uh thank you for asking i think a nice way to hate is to uh is to post without context to
your group chat just post the thing allow the responses to flow and uh build your your uh your
full perspective from that so something you don't find uh to be yummy and as you you see it you give
it to your group your small little circle you let them say what they got to say and then once you've
had a finished sort of perspective on it that's when you unleash the full round of hateration
exactly i actually enjoyed it okay i didn't think it was that bad yep i didn't like it too much and
then you're like you pounce yes then you go off okay i like that that's a good tip and that way
you don't ever feel like oh this is just coming from an unfinished place you get a full finished
perspective and then you throw it in okay so is there any is there such thing as hate redemption
yeah hater i hate it like you didn't like something for x amount of time and then you
one day you like oh wait i'll kind of get it now and i yes i think i think that that you should
have the right to not like something to hate on something but also be able to give it the space
if you're a human enough person we all change we all grow we're all evolving at all times
and there's space for you to be a person who goes i didn't like that at first or i used to not like
whatever this person was putting out but now i do i used to fuck with kevin hart super hard and now
i don't but that doesn't mean that he might not put out something where i go man he found it again
and that's okay but right now that special stinks and that's fine i mean okay so you can hate
something and then if there's something they do make something good you could be like hey hey just
because I hate them doesn't mean I can't
acknowledge that that was pretty
good. I don't think that Langston was saying he hates Kevin
Hart. I think he's saying he hates the special.
No, no, no. I'm just saying.
Yes, but I think
to both of those questions,
yes, you can not like someone.
You can not like the product.
But if you are an honest human being,
you also should be able to
acknowledge that we evolve and change
and grow. So maybe you feel
differently five minutes from
now or ten years from now. Who knows?
Wow. Wow. Langston, thank you for helping us evolve and change and grow tonight.
Yeah. OK, I want one last thing.
I instead of we're going to flip the hating and we're going to do some like uplifting.
Langston, say I would like you to go around the room and just say a few positive things about each of the people on the Zoom to to to close this out.
Hell yeah. You know, I love that.
first of all, Andrew, those lights are spectacular. As soon as I got on, I said,
those are beautiful lights. And I wish I had the, the audacity to, to hang lights in the room that
I'm in, but this is a mostly empty room that I'm allowed to work in, but because my wife doesn't
respect me anyway, love your lights. And you've been very patient and you're a good producer.
As far as I can tell, who knows if you can edit, but a goddamn hero.
as far as i can tell oh my god thank you it's hard to compete with their life they all have
those sex lights as they call them so hey we all have sex in different colors and so you're having
sex in uh and white christmas and they're having sex in different christmases alternative christmases

you for that. But more importantly, Sydney, your hair looks beautiful. You're glowing in your pink
light. You look fantastic. And you brought in some very important counter perspectives to some of the
things that I was saying that helped me sharpen my perspective on hate. And I appreciated that
this evening. Langston, I'm going to say a positive thing about you and then you can go.
