Larry is joined by actor, writer, and comedian Langston Kerman to talk about his brand new Netflix stand-up comedy special Bad Poetry, streaming on August 20. They begin their conversation by breaking down different types of comedy writing and examining Langston’s process when coming up with themes for a special. This leads to discussions about dating apps, love relationships, and biraciality, and how each of those subjects contribute to Langston’s art (13:03). After the break, Larry and Langston share stories that reflect the obstacles and triumphs they faced during their respective comedy writing careers (34:14). They end the pod by debating the viability of some of their favorite conspiracy theories and shining a light on Langston’s podcast My Momma Told Me which deals with those subjects from a Black perspective (45:52).
