No Gifts No Problems: Motherf*ckin Mini Episode (RE-RELEASE)
Episode Transcript
Well the fucking mini your soul many episod well the fucking mini yever soul.
Speaker 2Yep, yep, yep, there it is.
There it is.
Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to another phenomenal mini episode of My Mama Told Me.
Speaker 3The podcast where we dive deep into the pockets of black conspiracy theories.
Speaker 2And we finally work to prove the theories that you the listener have at home.
It's your time, baby.
You're superstar, You're a god.
Damn you're a goddamn angel.
And you know what we want to hear what you gotta say.
We love you, we love you, You're special to us.
We'll go down on you.
Fuck it, We'll go you will, We'll flip it over.
Speaker 4We'll go to the back too.
Why not?
Speaker 2Why not if we feel the way we feel about you?
Why wouldn't we smack it up, flip it, rub it down.
Oh No, I'm David Boring.
Speaker 4And I'm like Ston.
Speaker 2Kerman, And boy, is that a greeting we need to learn to replicate?
Huh?
Should we?
Should we do that on every episode?
Speaker 4I think that's about as good as it's gonna get.
Speaker 5Yeah, smack it up, flip it rub it down.
Oh no, I'm David Bord.
I want a fucking way to introduce yourself.
Speaker 4Yeah, you don't know where I'm coming from.
Speaker 2Not at all.
I will say that that.
Speaker 3Uh.
Speaker 2We We've gotten a few messages last time we spoke.
I believe we talked about a bit of a debate you and I had about the math from from driving from Denver to the middle of Wyoming, the the un undecided middle of Wyoming right.
And I have now gotten three, I think upwards of three emails from various listeners who all wanted to make it clear that you, David, were in fact correct.
Speaker 4About it there.
And I don't even drive like that.
Speaker 2A person named Asia said, Hey, David and Langston love the podcast.
Keep up the good work, David.
You never said we're in the middle of Wyoming.
So I picked Riverton on a good day.
Denver to Riverton is three hundred and forty nine miles via I eighty West or US two eighty seven North.
A two thousand and six Honda Civic Basic Bitch Model No Fast, no Furious, has a fuel tank capacity of thirteen point two gallons and gets thirty miles per gallon in the city and forty on the highway.
We're gonna use thirty because ain't no way we're gonna risk it and run on fumes in the middle of Wyoming.
If you're driving from a full tank three hundred and ninety six miles per tank, you can make it to Riverton with forty seven miles left on empty.
If this math is wrong, oh well, but I'm pretty sure it is.
It is anyway, by bitches, what Asia wrote, and to all of that, I say, fuck you, Asia.
You didn't have to do none of that.
You could a mind your motherfucking business.
Stayed the fuck out of grown folks business.
Asia.
Fuck you.
Fuck fuck Carol, uh, fuck Padra because Pedra had a whole bunch of say about this shit talking about two hundred and ninety four miles from Denver to Jefferson City.
Fuck all, y'all.
I don't give a shit.
Speaker 4I think you all.
You guys are great.
Speaker 3I appreciate you doing mad calculating in the lab whatever you had to do to.
Speaker 4Because you could be wrong.
I don't know, but.
Speaker 3I trust you.
That's what I gotta say about that.
You couldn't be wrong, but I don't know.
Speaker 2I dressed you right, Yeah, I didn't care for you dork's involving yourselves at all, But you don't want to appreciate you listening.
We're big fans.
Speaker 4That you're not at these dorks for doing research.
You're the one who does the research for this pod.
Speaker 2Yeah, but only to my advantage, not not for other people to sauce on me.
You know what I mean.
Speaker 4Oh, that's fair.
They were saucy.
Speaker 2They were saucy.
They started.
She said, if a train is traveling at one hundred and thirty six miles per hour in one direction, you know what I mean.
She hit me with some fucking word problems.
Speaker 3Yeah, there was a lot to unpack there, man, God bless it.
I got to drive to Wyoming.
Now, get some fireworks.
Get some fireworks.
That's right, you said that's the big thing for Wyoming for y'all.
Yeah, I mean, I guess.
I assume there's some type of industry, but for me, it was mostly for fireworks.
Speaker 2I want to get into this unrelated I guess conspiracy theory.
Oh, this is another thing that I should address before we get into the conspiracy theory.
I also received a message, and this relates to our conversation around milk we remember we were talking about the dangers of milk.
Recently, and unrelated, a person named Brian sent me a message about my puffy nipples.
Maybe you remember we had a I do remember discussion about puffy nipples as well and Brian.
Brian said, I too used to suffer from puffy nipples until one day I read a Darwin D's blog post that talked about how he used to be badly afflicted with acne until he quit dairy.
So I did the same, and not only did my acne clear up, but my nipples calmed the fuck down.
I figured it was because I no longer was no longer secondhanding some sort of nipple based hormone, and because I was lactose intolerant.
My conspiracy theory milk can fuck you up.
Love the podcast.
Thanks, that's from Brian.
Speaker 4I don't I think that?
Yeah?
Speaker 2Yeah, I think it's think there's legitimate of what Brian's saying.
Speaker 4It tracks like he did the research.
Yeah.
Speaker 2No, he he did the experiment on himself.
He gave up the milk, and them titties turned.
Speaker 4To what titties went flat on him.
Speaker 2Yeah, And there's nothing wrong if you got puffy nipples.
You know, there's no shame in it.
Speaker 4Yeah, don't ever feel bad about your poofy nipples.
Speaker 2Yeah, but but still, you know you could change it.
You could do something about it.
And I'm gonna try to do something about it now.
Thank you Brian for your inspiration.
Speaker 4Yeah, you should like track your nipple puff progress.
Speaker 2Yeah, I'm gonna.
I'm gonna get a real small ruler and.
Speaker 4You take every pictures every day for a month.
Speaker 2I'm gonna make an inspirational Instagram account for the titties that I transformed my titties into.
Speaker 3Oh man, put like a like a grind hustle it motivate, Yeah exactly.
Speaker 4Yeah, I like that, but for going down.
Speaker 2And then after a while I'll start getting sponsorships or things that have nothing to do with puffy nipples, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4It'll oh yeah, it'll just be.
Speaker 2Like temporary tattoos that are like asking me to promote their shit.
Speaker 4So yeah, motor oil for less pumpy nipples.
Speaker 2All right, I want to get into our actual big email for the day.
This is This came from a person who requested to remain anonymous.
Really they yeah, they didn't want to share their name.
And you'll see why.
Pretty quickly, they sent a message.
They said, high length high lengths in the David, please don't use my name, Smiley Face.
I love the show, and for all the silliness, you too, really stimulate productive conversation about the effect of white supremacy on black people.
I don't know if that was our goal, but I'm glad that that's what you're getting out.
Speaker 3Of I also don't think you've heard the last episode.
Speaker 2We were over.
We were aiming for chaoans.
We weren't really going to fix nothing.
But but that said, it means the world to us that that you feel that way.
They went on to say, my conspiracy theory that I've been quietly spreading for months is that black families with lots of kids become Jehovah's witnesses to avoid purchasing Christmas and birthday gifts.
They realized they should They could still love Jesus and not have to buy into commercialism or holly, or holidays or birthdays.
Please find some examples to support this idea below, Serena Williams family, Donald Glover's family, Michael Jackson's family.
I rest my.
Speaker 3Case, man, that feels that feels pretty possible to me.
Yeah, I've never known somebody who was like it was just me and my single mom.
We were Jehovah's witnesses, right right, there was always twelve of them.
Speaker 2Yeah, it's always a fuck ton of kids that that are Jehovah's witnesses.
Speaker 4Like they're buying vans, you know.
Speaker 2I like how you made it seem like it's a fleet of vans just to move these children from uh school to not holiday parties.
Speaker 4You never you never grew up with like you never had weird van families.
Speaker 2We did have weird van families.
It was rarely a fleet, but I hear you that they they're talking about.
Yeah, they had like a mini van that was much older than it seemed like it should be.
Speaker 3Yeah, yeah, and then it was just like eight LDS kids packed in there at all times.
Speaker 2My question, or at least what immediately popped in my head because I agree with you, it does feel like it holds a little bit of weight.
Is My question is do the kids before or are they a byproduct of like Jehovah witness practices, right, because I think some of it is also like and maybe this is not true, but I think they're like, ah, you ain't gotta come on, man, you ain't gotta wear no condoms.
Speaker 4Oh they're fucking raw.
Speaker 3I think that that's the main reason people become crazy religious is the.
Speaker 2Fuck is anti condom shit?
Speaker 3Yeah, God says, I don't have to win one baby?
Yeah, like you know, I mean that's right.
Speaker 4I mean it's all about fucking.
It's the same reason like.
Speaker 3Mormons they're politamous because they like fucking a lot, Like that's the that's the thing, right, So like, yeah, I cannot imagine Jehovah's witnesses where condoms or use any kind of birth control other than gravity.
Speaker 2Right, And so with that, I guess the question is, are you becoming Jehovah witness afterwards or are you actually like already that and then all these kids become a part of it because y'all are just raw doging each other.
Speaker 4I bet it's later.
Speaker 3I would I would bet that it's like damn five, all right, we gotta do something.
Speaker 2Yeah, and there's like, fuck, who who would make sure that we don't have to buy these kids' gifts sweet Jehovah gyra?
Speaker 3Yeah, yeah, yeah, because what because that's the only thing I even know about Jehovah's witnesses.
Speaker 4Mmmm, Like is it?
What's what else is different about them?
Like are they just are they just Christians?
Speaker 2They believe that heaven has like a capacity that like there's it's a limited number of people that can get into Heaven.
And that's why they go door to door spreading the word is because number one, they're trying to recruit new members.
But number two, that is part of like their mission to earn their spot into Heaven is by getting more people to believe in God.
Speaker 3Okay, but if there's a capacity, couldn't they be like max, and now what if, like you, you bring ten people in and then now there's no space for you.
Speaker 2That's always been my issue with it, is like I think that the number is like one hundred and eighty something thousand.
Speaker 4That's not so.
Speaker 2It feels like you already the door's already shut, you know what I mean, Like they're already being like, hey, no more if you ain't got no girls, which you can't come in at the door, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3But that's why they got all those kids and wives.
I'm rock ten chicks, right, I'm not showing up alone.
We buying bottles.
Speaker 4Peacher Rock for me and all my family.
Speaker 2Right, you're saying, you're saying, right now, we're at normal capacity.
But if you're willing to drop the bread, you can still get in the club.
Speaker 3Right, No, I mean because yeah, I feel like it's definitely something that happens afterwards though.
It's definitely like you have a few kids, money's getting tight.
These they got birthdays every year, and like, let's say you have six kids evenly spaced out, that's a birthday every other month.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's not good.
And and I'll be holidays.
I'll be honest, I'm feeling anxiety just uh with my one child and buying a birthday gift and like something that's appropriate to a one year old and also is gonna impress my wife enough not to make make her feel like she needs to leave me.
So it's like, yeah, no, it stinks.
But having to do that six times a year, that's and then Christmas, that's that's crazy.
Speaker 4Wait, what are you gonna get the one year old?
Have you decided?
No?
Speaker 2I haven't.
I'm not.
I'm not landed on nothing.
But if you got pitches, I'm taking them, baby, that's see that's the problem.
My wife already got her like some bracelets and ship, so I'm ship.
Yeah, I'm coming in.
Speaker 4You know.
Speaker 3Oh you should buy some ship that you can't nail down, like get her name a star after.
Speaker 6Some No, man, that's a that's a scamier.
Speaker 4At the zoo, or some ship in her name or some ship.
Speaker 2That's a scam you can only pull on like sick kids and grandma's.
You can't.
You can't do that to discerning adults who know you know what I mean.
Speaker 4It does sound like a scam.
Ship.
What are we gonna What are you gonna get your daughter?
Speaker 1Yeah?
Speaker 2I don't know, but I gotta figure it out and fast.
Speaker 4Have you bronzed any of her ship?
Speaker 2No, nothing's bronzed yet.
Speaker 4You should bronze something.
Speaker 2Okay, as I'm now, I'm liking where you're heading.
Speaker 3Yea, yeah, dip some baby shoes and uh in the first ones, get the first ones.
You guys got whoever diplomat, I'll bronze it for you.
I got a guy, I got a bronz think guy, I got I got bronze gold plated whatever you need.
Speaker 2Okay, Well, let's talk after the podcast.
We might we might be able to find something here.
Speaker 3But as far as these Jehovah's witnesses, man, I because it just seems like I don't know a lot of everybody I've ever known that was Jehovah's witnesses seemed to be some type of late life conversion via their parents.
Like I don't I but and maybe that's because I'm not close to the church, But I don't know a lot of people who are like I grew up with it.
Like it seems like a lot of people grow up with it and then they leave that shit.
Princevills having birthday parties.
Speaker 2Yeah, no, I I've known a few people who grew up that way and then didn't stay committed to it.
And then there are people who I knew who grew up that way.
Speaker 4How many kids do they have?
A lot?
Speaker 2Actually not sh Yeah, they kept fucking They were like, now that part's cool.
Yeah, they're like, I hear y'all on this.
Maybe a day party, Yeah, birthday party would be tight too.
But that said, I also have a family member two who grew up that way and then were like excommunicated from the church.
And that's like a real thing that the church tends to do, and it is one of the things and Quinta is a person who grew up that way, but she she's not the excommunication person, but she's talked about this or she and I talked about this of like how it is one of those things that I do respect about their commitment to the religion, where like if you do what they don't like, they kick you the fuck out.
They don't like play that thing where they're like, nah, you can still save your soul.
They're like, no, uh uh, you ain't making the cut.
Get the fuck out of here.
Speaker 3I mean, I respect the discipline for sure, respected even the disciplit of no birthdays and holidays.
I even respect the discipline of that.
I think there's a great case to be made for it, right, I mean, but I think that it's like a it seems to be like based in frugal, being frugal, you.
Speaker 2Know, yeah, it doesn't seem completely altruistic, not at all at all.
You're not just looking out for the kids greater good by taking away birthdays, you you truly are saving hundreds of dollars, if not thousands of dollars a year.
Speaker 4Jesus celebrated holidays.
Speaker 2Yeah, Jesus loved a good holiday.
Speaker 3Well, wait are they?
But are they?
Do they read the Bible?
Do they believe in like the Covenant of the New Testament?
Are the Old Testament people?
Speaker 4I don't know.
Speaker 2I think they.
I don't know one hundred percent, but I know that they read the Bible.
I'm pretty sure that they're They have like their own extra chapters if I'm remembering.
Speaker 4Oh, like the Catholic Apocrypha whatever.
Speaker 2Yeah, it's similar to That's essentially what Mormon situation is too.
That like, it's not that they don't read the same Bible, they just have some extra like stuff that they have.
Speaker 3This stuff from the tablets though, yeah, may I don't know where it's from.
He looked through the thing and what Joseph Smith or whatever he was, he was a snake oil salesman.
That's not what we're getting into.
Everybody knows being a Mormon is a scam.
They wear magic underwear.
Speaker 4Jehovah's witnesses I do.
I'm with this one.
I'm won one.
Speaker 2You respect the Jehovah's witnesses, but you also acknowledge their frugality in their decision making.
Speaker 4Yeah, and I think that's fine.
Speaker 2M okay, that's a good old take on it.
You're like, look, yeah, I think you're right that they probably are turning to Jehovah's witness beliefs in order to save money.
But that doesn't make them any less committed because of the level of work that they're putting in to stay part.
Speaker 4Of the church.
I couldn't have said it better myself.
Speaker 2All right, Well, that that seems legit to me.
I think that's fair.
If I have to go door to door and try to convince very angry people that my way of interpreting the Bible and religious texts is correct, then yeah, I deserve not to buy my daughter a birthday gift.
Speaker 4Exactly.
Speaker 2That seems that seems fair.
I don't got no issues with that.
So listener, anonymous listener, I hope this satisfies your theory, and I hope you've learned a lesson about judging the Jehovah's witnesses unfairly.
Maybe they're not cheap, Maybe they're they're just making necessary sacrifices for not going broke and broad dog in their wives.
Speaker 4Exactly.
Speaker 2Well, we did it, all right, Bory.
Could you tell the people where they can find you?
What cool shit you have going on?
