Are white people getting worse at making food on purpose? Langston and David cook this conspiracy theory in the studio. Does this come from white people's reaction to Black people getting more rights? Is this some sort of sick empowerment? How are bad meals going viral?

Our guest, comedian Jamel Johnson's momma, is worried that the government is trying to make people small and tries to pitch Mama Mia X to Langston and David. As we look into the history of homunculi, we learn the scientists were mixing...seeds—also, carnival slavery and car-jitsu. Girls breaking up fights. We were robbed of reggae pirates in Pirates of the Caribbean. Grills. Steel drums, and Keira Knightley twerking! Imagine ...

Plus, a round of quid pro quo hoe gets him to answer the hard-hitting questions. There's no ...

For the first time, comedian Herman Wrice brings us a classic legend. We're discussing thee American legend Bigfoot. Is the abominable snowman and the yeti the same genus as Bigfoot? What's the real story behind the hoax? Did they find Bigfoot in Sanoma, California? We review the Razor camera footage. This is why they won't say Jesus is Black; if we knew, there'd be anarchy in the streets. Is a giraffe a stretched out horse? What d...

Historically, Dewayne Perkins has had between thirty and forty barbers, and his observation - they're all homophobic. Or at least, the culture of the shop encourages men to feign homophobia to fit in. In the homorotic spaces of locker rooms, sports fields, and barbers' chairs, is there a response from straight men to try to counter that energy? Langston shares the traumatic experience of having the same haircut as his mom. Could a ...

    Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

    Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
