1
00:00:06,986 --> 00:00:09,446
(bicycle bells ringing)
2
00:00:09,530 --> 00:00:12,330
Greetings,
four-wheeled friends.
3
00:00:12,408 --> 00:00:14,458
Dave, do you ever just say "hi"?
4
00:00:15,369 --> 00:00:17,959
Oh. Nay.
5
00:00:18,038 --> 00:00:20,458
Look at you guys,
out for a bike ride.
6
00:00:20,541 --> 00:00:21,751
Yeah. Back in Kalamazoo,
we used to take family rides
7
00:00:21,834 --> 00:00:23,754
all the time.
8
00:00:23,836 --> 00:00:25,676
Not on Old Duck Lane, of course,
9
00:00:25,755 --> 00:00:29,295
with all the traffic.
10
00:00:29,383 --> 00:00:32,673
(scoffs) Well, around here, if
you see a grown man on a bike,
11
00:00:32,762 --> 00:00:34,382
his sidepiece
slashed his tires.
12
00:00:35,389 --> 00:00:37,309
What's a sidepiece?
13
00:00:37,391 --> 00:00:38,761
Oh, well,
it's when a guy...
14
00:00:38,851 --> 00:00:41,511
Dave!
15
00:00:42,730 --> 00:00:45,990
...gets an extra
piece of chicken.
16
00:00:48,402 --> 00:00:51,522
Cool! Then next time,
I'm gonna get a sidepiece.
17
00:00:51,614 --> 00:00:53,404
Well, I don't know about you,
but I sure worked up an appetite
18
00:00:53,491 --> 00:00:55,111
for our double date tonight.
(chuckles)
19
00:00:55,201 --> 00:00:57,861
Double date?
20
00:00:58,913 --> 00:01:00,163
Who's the unlucky
couple? (laughing)
21
00:01:00,247 --> 00:01:02,627
We are.
22
00:01:02,708 --> 00:01:04,458
What? Tina, I
thought you and I
23
00:01:04,543 --> 00:01:07,503
were going to The
Lobster Factory.
24
00:01:07,588 --> 00:01:10,468
Uh, we are, but the Johnsons
are coming with us,
25
00:01:10,549 --> 00:01:12,179
and we're not going
to The Lobster Factory.
26
00:01:12,259 --> 00:01:13,349
We're going to
this hip new place
27
00:01:13,427 --> 00:01:15,227
called Sprout and Jar.
28
00:01:15,304 --> 00:01:17,344
I've been dying
to try it.
29
00:01:17,431 --> 00:01:19,681
Everything's served
in mason jars.
30
00:01:19,767 --> 00:01:21,017
Except for the drinks,
which come to the table
31
00:01:22,937 --> 00:01:24,187
in a communal trough.
32
00:01:24,271 --> 00:01:26,181
Come on, Tina.
33
00:01:26,273 --> 00:01:28,353
Saturday is one
of my cheat days.
34
00:01:28,442 --> 00:01:30,402
I just want to go
to a classy place,
35
00:01:30,486 --> 00:01:33,026
where, you know,
I can put on a bib
36
00:01:33,113 --> 00:01:34,903
and suck butter
off my fingers.
37
00:01:34,990 --> 00:01:36,700
I know, baby.
38
00:01:36,784 --> 00:01:38,494
That's why we
didn't ask you.
39
00:01:38,577 --> 00:01:39,537
Mwah!
40
00:01:39,620 --> 00:01:41,840
Calvin, don't worry,
41
00:01:41,914 --> 00:01:43,204
Sprout and Jar has
a lobster dish.
42
00:01:43,290 --> 00:01:46,380
Oh. Okay.
43
00:01:47,962 --> 00:01:48,922
It's an aerated foam
served in a balloon.
44
00:01:49,004 --> 00:01:50,254
Sounds good, doesn't it?
45
00:01:50,339 --> 00:01:51,639
To use your words:
46
00:01:54,009 --> 00:01:55,889
Nay.
47
00:01:55,970 --> 00:01:57,270
♪ Welcome to the block,
welcome to the neighborhood ♪
48
00:02:02,309 --> 00:02:03,569
♪ Welcome to the hood. ♪
49
00:02:03,644 --> 00:02:06,434
Ooh...
50
00:02:06,522 --> 00:02:08,982
Wow, this place
is really nice.
I know.
51
00:02:09,065 --> 00:02:11,445
Everything they serve here
is farm-to-table.
52
00:02:11,527 --> 00:02:12,697
Ooh. Well, as long as they
kill it somewhere in between,
53
00:02:14,446 --> 00:02:15,406
I'm good.
54
00:02:15,489 --> 00:02:16,909
(chuckles)
55
00:02:16,991 --> 00:02:19,201
Ooh, Calvin, check this out.
56
00:02:19,285 --> 00:02:20,575
The menus are printed
on rice paper.
57
00:02:20,661 --> 00:02:22,491
When you're done ordering,
58
00:02:22,580 --> 00:02:24,040
you can eat them
as an appetizer.
59
00:02:24,123 --> 00:02:27,413
I don't know.
60
00:02:27,501 --> 00:02:29,411
I-I don't want to
fill up on menu.
61
00:02:29,503 --> 00:02:31,923
Hey, babe...
62
00:02:32,006 --> 00:02:33,466
didn't this used to be
Alfreeda's check-cashing place?
63
00:02:33,549 --> 00:02:36,759
Yeah, until the
cops found out
64
00:02:36,844 --> 00:02:38,764
it was also Alfreeda's
drug-dealing place.
65
00:02:38,846 --> 00:02:43,186
You see?
Just another example
66
00:02:43,267 --> 00:02:44,557
of gentrification taking over
a fine, locally owned business.
67
00:02:44,643 --> 00:02:45,563
(mutters)
68
00:02:45,644 --> 00:02:48,644
Greetings.
69
00:02:49,523 --> 00:02:53,103
Thank you for the opportunity
to nourish you.
70
00:02:54,528 --> 00:02:56,158
Doesn't anybody
just say "hi" anymore?
71
00:02:56,238 --> 00:02:58,618
We have a reservation
under Johnson.
72
00:02:58,699 --> 00:03:01,249
Oh. We prefer not to use
the term "reservation"
73
00:03:02,369 --> 00:03:04,499
out of respect
to Native Americans.
74
00:03:04,580 --> 00:03:07,460
Then how do we do this?
75
00:03:09,084 --> 00:03:10,294
We also prefer you don't use
the world "how."
76
00:03:10,377 --> 00:03:12,507
(sighs)
77
00:03:12,588 --> 00:03:14,338
I'm sorry,
we're running a bit behind.
78
00:03:14,423 --> 00:03:16,093
It's gonna be
about an hour and a half.
79
00:03:16,175 --> 00:03:21,015
An hour and a half?
80
00:03:21,096 --> 00:03:24,266
How long does it take
to shove a lobster in a balloon?
81
00:03:24,350 --> 00:03:25,980
You know, that-that
is a long wait.
82
00:03:26,060 --> 00:03:27,980
Maybe we should go
someplace else.
83
00:03:28,062 --> 00:03:28,972
Well, I did just read
about a new soul food restaurant
84
00:03:29,063 --> 00:03:30,313
around the corner.
85
00:03:30,397 --> 00:03:31,777
Ooh, that sounds good.
86
00:03:31,857 --> 00:03:33,657
Gemma, are you
cool with that?
87
00:03:33,734 --> 00:03:35,654
(scoffs softly) I mean,
sure, it just took me
88
00:03:35,736 --> 00:03:37,736
six weeks to get
the reserva...
(clears throat)
89
00:03:38,739 --> 00:03:40,539
table holding.
90
00:03:40,616 --> 00:03:45,496
Calvin, what do you say?
91
00:03:45,579 --> 00:03:46,669
Oh. So I guess you think
all black people want soul food.
92
00:03:46,747 --> 00:03:48,337
N...
93
00:03:48,415 --> 00:03:50,375
N-No. I'm sorry, I didn't...
94
00:03:52,252 --> 00:03:54,502
I'm just kidding with you, man.
Hell yeah, let's go.
95
00:03:54,588 --> 00:03:56,258
You know what?
I'm just gonna grab a menu
96
00:03:59,677 --> 00:04:01,057
for a little snack on the way.
97
00:04:01,136 --> 00:04:02,846
Hey, hey, party people!
98
00:04:02,930 --> 00:04:05,310
Yo, what's up, man?
Hey.
99
00:04:05,391 --> 00:04:07,011
So, what's this school project
you need help on, Grover?
100
00:04:07,101 --> 00:04:08,811
Is it a report on
a foreign country?
101
00:04:08,894 --> 00:04:12,314
Because if it's
Madagascar,
102
00:04:12,398 --> 00:04:14,568
the capital is Antananarivo.
103
00:04:14,650 --> 00:04:16,700
Actually, I have to interview
people in my neighborhood,
104
00:04:16,776 --> 00:04:18,406
so I thought I'd do a podcast.
105
00:04:18,487 --> 00:04:19,827
Oh, your very own podcast.
106
00:04:19,905 --> 00:04:21,485
That's pretty cool, man.
107
00:04:21,573 --> 00:04:24,363
Yeah, you know,
it's not as cool
108
00:04:24,451 --> 00:04:26,241
as having a pen pal
in Antananarivo, but...
109
00:04:26,328 --> 00:04:28,038
Sit down.
110
00:04:28,122 --> 00:04:30,242
The podcast is called
Gabbin' with Grover.
111
00:04:30,332 --> 00:04:32,042
My dad helped me
with the theme song.
112
00:04:32,126 --> 00:04:35,086
Okay, well, let's do it, then.
113
00:04:35,170 --> 00:04:37,510

118
00:04:50,310 --> 00:04:51,820
There's three more verses.
Want to hear 'em?
119
00:04:52,855 --> 00:04:55,895
Hell no.
Hell no.
120
00:04:55,983 --> 00:04:59,063
Okay, then let's start.
121
00:04:59,153 --> 00:05:00,863
Hey, Mrs. Sweeney
and the rest of room 14.
122
00:05:00,946 --> 00:05:03,076
Except Spencer.
123
00:05:04,992 --> 00:05:07,282
I heard about
your birthday party.
124
00:05:07,369 --> 00:05:08,749
So, I'd like to welcome
my first guests,
125
00:05:08,829 --> 00:05:10,749
Malcolm and Marty Butler.
126
00:05:10,831 --> 00:05:12,541
Hey, hey!
What's up, Mrs. Sweeney?
127
00:05:12,624 --> 00:05:15,084
Uh, hello, everyone,
except Spencer.
128
00:05:15,169 --> 00:05:17,589
Not cool, bro.
129
00:05:17,671 --> 00:05:18,921
Okay, let's start
with you, Marty.
130
00:05:19,006 --> 00:05:20,596
All right, you got it.
131
00:05:20,674 --> 00:05:23,384
What's on your
mind, little man?
132
00:05:23,469 --> 00:05:24,599
You have a really cool job,
you're super smart,
133
00:05:24,678 --> 00:05:26,638
and you dress nice.
134
00:05:26,722 --> 00:05:28,552
(chuckles)
Thank you.
135
00:05:30,225 --> 00:05:32,105
So why don't you have
a girlfriend?
136
00:05:32,186 --> 00:05:33,266
Wha... What?
137
00:05:33,353 --> 00:05:35,223
You know...
138
00:05:35,314 --> 00:05:37,064
why don't girls like you?
139
00:05:41,695 --> 00:05:44,235
(laughs)
140
00:05:44,323 --> 00:05:45,823
Well, well, uh, w-well...
141
00:05:45,908 --> 00:05:47,828
Uh, uh, uh,
answer the question, man.
142
00:05:52,039 --> 00:05:54,589
Room 14 wants to know.
(laughs)
143
00:05:54,666 --> 00:05:57,586
Now, this is
what I'm talkin' about.
144
00:05:57,669 --> 00:05:59,429
Got pictures of our people
on the wall,
145
00:05:59,505 --> 00:06:01,425
and it smells just like
my grandmama's kitchen.
146
00:06:01,507 --> 00:06:02,847
And did you hear
what the waitress said
147
00:06:02,925 --> 00:06:04,175
when we walked in?
148
00:06:05,844 --> 00:06:08,264
She said, "Hi."
149
00:06:08,347 --> 00:06:09,597
Which is more than what
Calvin's bitter old grandma
150
00:06:09,681 --> 00:06:11,761
ever said to me.
151
00:06:13,227 --> 00:06:14,817
Lord rest her soul.
152
00:06:14,895 --> 00:06:17,485
Let's see.
153
00:06:17,564 --> 00:06:18,814
Cracklin' Bread.
Hoppin' John.
154
00:06:18,899 --> 00:06:20,859
Ooh, hush puppies.
155
00:06:22,778 --> 00:06:24,658
I'm gonna get those.
They sound adorable.
156
00:06:24,738 --> 00:06:26,658
Mr. and Mrs. Butler!
How you folks doing?
157
00:06:26,740 --> 00:06:28,870
Hey.
Hey, Daryl.
158
00:06:28,951 --> 00:06:30,701
I see you finally grew
into that head.
159
00:06:30,786 --> 00:06:31,786
(chuckles)
160
00:06:32,913 --> 00:06:33,783
How's your mama and them?
161
00:06:33,872 --> 00:06:36,872
Who's "Andem"?
162
00:06:38,919 --> 00:06:40,759
Oh. That's black for "er'body."
163
00:06:42,422 --> 00:06:44,712
Which is black for "everybody."
164
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:45,720
So, does anyone have
any questions about the menu?
165
00:06:45,801 --> 00:06:48,841
I do.
166
00:06:50,097 --> 00:06:51,807
What exactly are
chitterlings?
167
00:06:51,890 --> 00:06:54,020
(both laugh)
168
00:06:54,101 --> 00:06:55,391
Dave, Dave,
Dave, we say
169
00:06:55,477 --> 00:06:56,817
"chitlins."
170
00:06:56,895 --> 00:06:58,855
It's boiled pig intestines.
171
00:06:58,939 --> 00:07:02,449
It's a black delicacy.
172
00:07:02,526 --> 00:07:04,276
Oh. I have trouble digesting
things that, you know...
173
00:07:05,696 --> 00:07:08,866
digest things.
174
00:07:08,949 --> 00:07:10,829
We just had vegan meat loaf
at your house last week.
175
00:07:13,745 --> 00:07:16,035
Consider this payback.
176
00:07:16,123 --> 00:07:18,413
And I had to sit...
177
00:07:18,500 --> 00:07:20,840
in that lost-and-found
for over an hour
178
00:07:23,130 --> 00:07:26,180
before my mama came and got me.
179
00:07:27,759 --> 00:07:30,309
Is it any surprise that I
have abandonment issues?!
180
00:07:30,387 --> 00:07:33,557
Can we please be done
with the interview?
181
00:07:37,436 --> 00:07:39,686
I stopped asking you questions,
like, ten minutes ago.
182
00:07:39,771 --> 00:07:40,851
So, let's move on to Malcolm.
183
00:07:42,983 --> 00:07:45,733
Oh, thank God.
184
00:07:45,819 --> 00:07:48,449
All right, bring on
the questions, G-man.
185
00:07:48,530 --> 00:07:51,080
Unlike my brother,
I've had a ton of girlfriends,
186
00:07:51,158 --> 00:07:52,908
I'm emotionally stable,
and I've never lost my swimsuit
187
00:07:52,993 --> 00:07:55,163
on a waterslide.
188
00:07:56,747 --> 00:07:58,457
Yeah, I didn't lose it.
You pulled it down.
189
00:07:58,540 --> 00:08:01,260
Okay, Malcolm.
You wanted to be
190
00:08:01,335 --> 00:08:03,375
a professional baseball player
before you got hurt, right?
191
00:08:03,462 --> 00:08:05,292
Uh, yeah, that's right.
(chuckles)
192
00:08:05,380 --> 00:08:07,720
Are you that good
at anything else?
193
00:08:14,890 --> 00:08:16,440
And if not,
does that make you sad?
194
00:08:16,516 --> 00:08:18,556
(clears throat):
Um...
195
00:08:18,644 --> 00:08:20,014
well, that's
a complicated question.
196
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,820
It's okay. Take your time.
197
00:08:29,196 --> 00:08:31,786
Looks like he yanked
your swimsuit down.
198
00:08:31,865 --> 00:08:34,075
Mm. Excuse me.
199
00:08:35,243 --> 00:08:36,993
I am smackin' so loud,
I'm embarrassed.
200
00:08:37,079 --> 00:08:40,799
I'm sorry, Grandmama,
201
00:08:40,873 --> 00:08:42,293
but somebody's giving your food
a run for its money.
202
00:08:42,376 --> 00:08:45,376
(laughs)
203
00:08:47,047 --> 00:08:48,427
I think you're looking
in the wrong direction.
204
00:08:48,507 --> 00:08:50,757
Sweetie, are you okay?
205
00:08:50,842 --> 00:08:53,632
You're looking
a little sweaty.
Oh...
206
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,810
it's the spice.
207
00:08:57,891 --> 00:09:01,431
Oh, my mouth has been numb
since that first hush puppy.
208
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,820
Dave, what your white body
is reacting to
209
00:09:04,898 --> 00:09:05,988
is a thing
we like to call flavor.
210
00:09:06,066 --> 00:09:07,656
This is the food
211
00:09:07,734 --> 00:09:09,864
of our people--
212
00:09:09,945 --> 00:09:13,785
our blood, sweat and tears,
213
00:09:13,865 --> 00:09:16,705
400 years of resilience
in every dish.
214
00:09:16,785 --> 00:09:18,665
Oh, Lord, he's going
into preacher mode.
215
00:09:18,745 --> 00:09:20,955
It's pride on a plate.
216
00:09:21,039 --> 00:09:23,049
Soul in a bowl.
217
00:09:25,043 --> 00:09:27,163
Hot damn in the hot sauce!
218
00:09:27,254 --> 00:09:29,004
Hallelujah.
Yeah, hallelujah.
219
00:09:29,089 --> 00:09:31,179
How's everyone doing here?
220
00:09:31,258 --> 00:09:33,348
I could use another glass
of ice water.
221
00:09:33,427 --> 00:09:35,017
(chuckles)
222
00:09:35,095 --> 00:09:37,635
Everything was amazing, Daryl.
223
00:09:37,723 --> 00:09:39,393
I mean, this food
really takes me back, man.
224
00:09:39,474 --> 00:09:40,804
Give my compliments to the chef.
225
00:09:40,892 --> 00:09:41,852
Why don't you tell him yourself?
226
00:09:41,935 --> 00:09:42,975
Chef Mitchell!
227
00:09:53,071 --> 00:09:54,321
Someone wants
to meet you.
228
00:09:54,406 --> 00:09:55,746
Thanks for coming
to my restaurant.
229
00:09:55,824 --> 00:09:57,744
How are we enjoying everything?
230
00:09:57,826 --> 00:10:00,206
Ah.
231
00:10:07,669 --> 00:10:09,339
I'm guessing he looks nothing
like your grandma.
232
00:10:09,421 --> 00:10:13,591
Whenever you're ready.
233
00:10:13,675 --> 00:10:15,595
Wow. These desserts are even
better than the main course.
234
00:10:15,677 --> 00:10:17,057
Yeah, the yellow cake
is great.
235
00:10:17,137 --> 00:10:18,927
Again...
(clears throat)
236
00:10:20,474 --> 00:10:22,224
a little spicy, but...
237
00:10:22,309 --> 00:10:24,899
...but great.
238
00:10:24,978 --> 00:10:26,858
Well, baby, you haven't
touched your dessert.
239
00:10:26,938 --> 00:10:29,068
You know what?
You're right.
240
00:10:30,942 --> 00:10:31,902
There. I touched it.
241
00:10:31,985 --> 00:10:33,195
Oh, come on, Calvin.
242
00:10:33,278 --> 00:10:34,908
You were raving about the food
243
00:10:34,988 --> 00:10:38,118
before you found out
the chef was white.
244
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:42,670
That's before he tricked me
into thinking it was delicious.
245
00:10:42,746 --> 00:10:45,956
Tina, this is a classic
example of appropriation:
246
00:10:46,041 --> 00:10:49,041
a white chef stealing
black cuisine.
247
00:10:49,127 --> 00:10:51,757
Stealing?
I wouldn't call it stealing.
248
00:10:51,838 --> 00:10:53,588
Uh, someone
who's not of my culture
249
00:10:53,673 --> 00:10:56,633
cooking my culture's food?
250
00:10:56,718 --> 00:10:58,138
(chuckles) You don't see me
making avocado toast.
251
00:10:58,220 --> 00:11:00,890
(chuckles)
252
00:11:00,972 --> 00:11:03,432
But isn't all cooking
kind of appropriation?
253
00:11:03,517 --> 00:11:04,767
I mean, I'm not Italian, but
I make spaghetti all the time.
254
00:11:04,851 --> 00:11:08,101
And I'm not Mexican, but...
255
00:11:08,188 --> 00:11:10,278
Please don't bring
Taco Tuesday into this.
256
00:11:10,357 --> 00:11:13,277
Oh, come on, Calvin.
We were having a good time.
257
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,740
No, no. I-I am
sick and tired
258
00:11:15,821 --> 00:11:16,901
of black culture
being taken from us.
259
00:11:16,988 --> 00:11:19,118
I mean, our food,
260
00:11:19,199 --> 00:11:21,329
our music, our clothes.
261
00:11:21,410 --> 00:11:23,210
White people even tried
to take Tiger Woods
262
00:11:26,790 --> 00:11:29,420
and then tried to give him back!
263
00:11:29,501 --> 00:11:30,701
Calvin, I don't think the
chef is taking your food.
264
00:11:30,794 --> 00:11:33,964
I think he's
celebrating it.
265
00:11:34,047 --> 00:11:36,967
Like how I play the
maracas on Taco Tuesday.
266
00:11:37,050 --> 00:11:40,310
Look, I don't care
what you call it.
267
00:11:40,387 --> 00:11:42,687
I am done eating
this chef's food.
268
00:11:49,146 --> 00:11:51,436
It's a good thing I kept
a few bites of this menu.

Dave, if you're writing me
another love song,
273
00:12:04,911 --> 00:12:07,321
just know
274
00:12:08,915 --> 00:12:10,705
it's gonna be tough to top
last week's.
275
00:12:10,792 --> 00:12:12,082
No. I've given up on that.
276
00:12:12,169 --> 00:12:13,299
Nothing rhymes with Gemma.
277
00:12:13,378 --> 00:12:15,508
It's a real problem.
278
00:12:15,589 --> 00:12:17,509
Some might call it a...
279
00:12:17,591 --> 00:12:19,551
dilemma.
280
00:12:21,428 --> 00:12:25,348
I mean, I guess.
281
00:12:25,432 --> 00:12:26,972
No, I'm-I'm rerecording the
theme song to Grover's podcast.
282
00:12:27,058 --> 00:12:30,228
Why?
Well,
283
00:12:30,312 --> 00:12:31,522
I'm afraid that my rap version
is appropriating black culture.
284
00:12:31,605 --> 00:12:33,185
Which is a shame,
285
00:12:35,150 --> 00:12:37,200
because it was straight fire.
286
00:12:37,277 --> 00:12:39,867
I think you
may be overreacting a little.
287
00:12:39,946 --> 00:12:42,036
Well, maybe, but, you know,
I don't think it's up to us
288
00:12:42,115 --> 00:12:43,195
to decide what's offensive
and what's not.
289
00:12:43,283 --> 00:12:46,533
So what are you gonna do,
290
00:12:46,620 --> 00:12:49,210
just stop using things that
were invented by other cultures?
291
00:12:50,248 --> 00:12:52,048
'Cause I don't see you giving up
your nunchucks.
292
00:12:52,125 --> 00:12:54,125
I'm gonna make an exception
for those.
293
00:12:56,129 --> 00:12:58,219
It's a matter of home security.
294
00:12:58,298 --> 00:13:00,388
I just think
maybe Calvin has a point.
295
00:13:00,467 --> 00:13:02,597
Then why didn't it bother Tina?
296
00:13:02,677 --> 00:13:05,557
Well, maybe it did and
she just didn't say anything.
297
00:13:05,639 --> 00:13:07,099
Really, Dave?
I once saw her tell a librarian,
298
00:13:08,099 --> 00:13:09,229
"No, you keep it down."
299
00:13:09,309 --> 00:13:10,899
Well,
300
00:13:10,977 --> 00:13:13,357
in the librarian's defense,
301
00:13:13,438 --> 00:13:16,198
that book was eight years
overdue.
302
00:13:16,274 --> 00:13:19,024
Dave, sharing different cultures
is a good thing.
303
00:13:19,110 --> 00:13:21,410
If we all just stuck to our own
little corners of the world,
304
00:13:21,488 --> 00:13:23,038
there'd be no tolerance,
no understanding,
305
00:13:23,114 --> 00:13:24,034
no progress.
306
00:13:24,115 --> 00:13:25,785
Okay.
307
00:13:25,867 --> 00:13:29,417
I see your point.
308
00:13:29,496 --> 00:13:32,126
Maybe I should just keep
rapping.
309
00:13:36,336 --> 00:13:39,256
How 'bout we ask Tina
about that?
310
00:13:39,339 --> 00:13:41,429
Are you watching
Do the Right Thing?
311
00:13:41,508 --> 00:13:43,928
I sure am.
312
00:13:44,010 --> 00:13:46,060
Black actors
with a black director
313
00:13:46,137 --> 00:13:47,977
who made his first movie
on credit.
314
00:13:48,056 --> 00:13:49,096
Now, that's black.
315
00:13:49,182 --> 00:13:52,052
Oh, so I see.
316
00:13:52,143 --> 00:13:54,063
You're still worked up
about that chef being white.
317
00:13:54,145 --> 00:13:56,065
You're damn right I am.
318
00:13:56,147 --> 00:13:57,437
Why do you think
I'm eating potato chips--
319
00:13:57,524 --> 00:13:59,234
invented by a black man--
320
00:13:59,317 --> 00:14:01,367
dipping it in peanut butter--
321
00:14:02,445 --> 00:14:05,235
also made by a black man?
322
00:14:06,324 --> 00:14:07,994
Who knew
legacy could be so delicious?
323
00:14:08,076 --> 00:14:10,166
Oh, you don't have
to tell me.
324
00:14:10,245 --> 00:14:12,375
I used to eat that
when I was pregnant with Marty.
325
00:14:13,373 --> 00:14:15,043
Also made by a black man.
326
00:14:15,125 --> 00:14:16,125
Look, Calvin,
327
00:14:16,209 --> 00:14:17,299
you got to let this go.
328
00:14:17,377 --> 00:14:18,797
No. I can't.
329
00:14:18,878 --> 00:14:20,088
I-I've been thinking about this.
330
00:14:20,171 --> 00:14:22,331
And from now on,
331
00:14:22,424 --> 00:14:24,174
if it's not black-owned
or black-invented,
332
00:14:24,259 --> 00:14:26,969
we blackballing it.
333
00:14:27,053 --> 00:14:29,133
Calvin, baby, I respect
what you're trying to do,
334
00:14:29,222 --> 00:14:31,432
but you got to be
more realistic.
No.
335
00:14:31,516 --> 00:14:35,146
No, what I got to do
is remind this community
336
00:14:35,228 --> 00:14:36,818
is that what we need to be doing
is investing in ourselves.
337
00:14:36,896 --> 00:14:39,146
All right. I'm all for that.
338
00:14:39,232 --> 00:14:41,062
But you lay one hand
on my Louis Vuitton bag,
339
00:14:43,069 --> 00:14:43,989
you coming back with a nub.
340
00:14:44,070 --> 00:14:46,040
I'm serious, Tina.
341
00:14:46,114 --> 00:14:47,994
I've been up all night thinking
about this,
342
00:14:48,074 --> 00:14:49,494
and I'm not taking this
laying down.
343
00:14:49,576 --> 00:14:51,166
All right. Fine.
What you gonna do?
344
00:14:51,244 --> 00:14:52,164
I'm gonna take a stand.
345
00:14:52,245 --> 00:14:53,745
All right.
346
00:14:55,248 --> 00:14:57,168
Right after I take a nap.
347
00:14:57,250 --> 00:14:59,050
That peanut butter
giving me the itis.
348
00:15:00,295 --> 00:15:01,795
(grunts)
349
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,180
MARTY:
Hey, man.
350
00:15:04,257 --> 00:15:05,347
I got your text. You don't want
to go to the bar tonight?
351
00:15:05,425 --> 00:15:07,305
Ah, what's the point, man?
352
00:15:07,385 --> 00:15:10,055
After gabbing with Grover,
353
00:15:11,306 --> 00:15:13,226
I can't stop thinking
about how depressing my life is.
354
00:15:13,308 --> 00:15:15,648
I'm starting to get
why Spencer didn't invite
355
00:15:15,727 --> 00:15:18,527
his little ass to his party.
356
00:15:18,605 --> 00:15:20,525
Yeah, man, that interview
really shook my confidence.
357
00:15:20,607 --> 00:15:23,357
I haven't felt this naked
and exposed since...
358
00:15:23,443 --> 00:15:26,653
since the waterslide.
359
00:15:26,738 --> 00:15:28,698
Hey, man, well, at least
you have a job that you love.
360
00:15:28,782 --> 00:15:32,862
Yeah, but I can't
go on dates with my job.
361
00:15:32,952 --> 00:15:35,532
My job can't give me a hug
after a long day at work.
362
00:15:35,622 --> 00:15:37,872
My job c-- Oh, no.
Here come the waterworks.
363
00:15:37,957 --> 00:15:39,167
Hey. Whoa, whoa,
dude, dude.
364
00:15:39,250 --> 00:15:40,550
Marty, you don't see me crying,
365
00:15:40,627 --> 00:15:43,047
and I'm in a worse spot
than you are.
366
00:15:43,129 --> 00:15:45,339
I was on track to be
a pro baseball player, man.
367
00:15:45,423 --> 00:15:47,343
Now I'm just a security guard.
368
00:15:47,425 --> 00:15:50,345
Yeah, but think
about it like this:
369
00:15:50,428 --> 00:15:53,268
most baseball players' careers
are over by the time they're 30.
370
00:15:56,267 --> 00:15:58,397
You could be a security guard
for the rest of your life, man.
371
00:15:58,478 --> 00:15:59,688
You are lucky
I'm too depressed to punch you.
372
00:15:59,771 --> 00:16:01,521
Look, look.
373
00:16:01,606 --> 00:16:02,856
Malcolm, I know
it's not your dream job,
374
00:16:02,941 --> 00:16:04,731
but that doesn't mean
you won't find it.
375
00:16:04,818 --> 00:16:06,238
It's just...
it's just a matter of time
376
00:16:06,319 --> 00:16:08,029
before things turn around.
377
00:16:08,113 --> 00:16:10,073
Yeah, I guess you're right, man.
378
00:16:10,156 --> 00:16:12,746
And don't worry.
You're gonna find somebody.
379
00:16:12,826 --> 00:16:14,576
The world is full of girls, man.
(chuckles)
380
00:16:14,661 --> 00:16:16,661
One of 'em's got to like you.
381
00:16:16,746 --> 00:16:17,876
(chuckles)
382
00:16:17,956 --> 00:16:18,876
You think she's cute?
383
00:16:18,957 --> 00:16:20,417
Oh, yeah.
384
00:16:20,500 --> 00:16:22,090
You know, in a nerdy,
385
00:16:22,168 --> 00:16:25,718
comic book-loving,
Ooh.
386
00:16:25,797 --> 00:16:27,257
headgear-wearing
type of way.
387
00:16:27,340 --> 00:16:28,720
Yeah, she sounds hot.
388
00:16:29,676 --> 00:16:30,966
(chuckles)
389
00:16:31,052 --> 00:16:32,592
You know what, man?
390
00:16:32,679 --> 00:16:34,269
We should go to that bar.
391
00:16:34,347 --> 00:16:37,857
Yeah. Maybe
my dream girl is there.
392
00:16:41,730 --> 00:16:42,860
Actually, my gut's telling me
she don't get out much.
393
00:16:42,939 --> 00:16:44,609
Hey. Lewis.
394
00:16:44,691 --> 00:16:45,851
I heard you're about to be
a grandfather.
395
00:16:45,942 --> 00:16:47,732
That's great.
396
00:16:52,157 --> 00:16:53,947
Chef's white.
397
00:16:54,033 --> 00:16:56,453
Mable?
398
00:16:56,536 --> 00:16:57,666
I ain't seen you
in a hot minute.
399
00:16:57,746 --> 00:16:59,786
Have you lost weight?
400
00:17:01,875 --> 00:17:03,205
Chef's white.
401
00:17:04,711 --> 00:17:05,751
Calvin?
402
00:17:05,837 --> 00:17:07,587
What are you doing here?
403
00:17:07,672 --> 00:17:09,172
I'm letting these people know
404
00:17:09,257 --> 00:17:12,137
before they spend
their black dollar
405
00:17:12,217 --> 00:17:13,597
that the chef's white.
406
00:17:13,677 --> 00:17:15,597
Really?
407
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,140
Sabotaging this restaurant?
408
00:17:17,223 --> 00:17:18,593
I can't believe you.
409
00:17:18,683 --> 00:17:20,343
I can't believe you either.
410
00:17:20,435 --> 00:17:23,645
Anyone who cared about me
411
00:17:23,730 --> 00:17:25,900
would not support this business
or eat this food.
412
00:17:27,358 --> 00:17:29,658
All right, Gemma,
I'm ready to get my grub on...
413
00:17:29,736 --> 00:17:31,156
Tina? You, too?
(scoffs)
414
00:17:31,237 --> 00:17:32,367
I told you, Calvin.
415
00:17:32,447 --> 00:17:34,617
This is your fight,
not mine.
416
00:17:34,699 --> 00:17:36,789
You know what,
I can't believe you two.
417
00:17:36,868 --> 00:17:39,288
I guess Dave is the only person
I can count on.
418
00:17:41,748 --> 00:17:44,798
Well, I got
my antacids and...
Oh.
419
00:17:44,876 --> 00:17:46,216
Am I the only one who cares
what's happening around here?
420
00:17:46,294 --> 00:17:48,004
I mean,
421
00:17:48,088 --> 00:17:50,798
apparently,
if the food is good enough,
422
00:17:50,882 --> 00:17:53,302
you don't care
if our culture's stolen.
423
00:17:53,384 --> 00:17:55,384
You know what,
424
00:17:55,470 --> 00:17:56,850
Calvin makes a good point.
425
00:17:56,930 --> 00:17:58,770
It's not stolen.
426
00:17:58,848 --> 00:18:01,018
I read that the chef's
from Louisiana.
427
00:18:01,100 --> 00:18:02,860
His recipes go back
three generations.
428
00:18:02,936 --> 00:18:05,856
(exhales)
429
00:18:05,939 --> 00:18:07,899
Can't argue with that.
430
00:18:07,982 --> 00:18:09,692
I don't care where he's from.
431
00:18:09,776 --> 00:18:12,316
He's just
another white dude
432
00:18:12,403 --> 00:18:15,283
moving into our community,
trying to be down.
433
00:18:19,953 --> 00:18:21,703
Doesn't get more wack
than that.
434
00:18:21,788 --> 00:18:22,998
Look, Calvin, we hear you,
435
00:18:23,081 --> 00:18:24,991
but what are
we supposed to do,
436
00:18:25,083 --> 00:18:28,083
stop going
to white-owned businesses?
437
00:18:28,169 --> 00:18:29,879
Oh. Now, I don't have anything
against white businesses.
438
00:18:29,963 --> 00:18:32,423
They take things back
without a receipt.
439
00:18:33,967 --> 00:18:36,217
So...
Oh.
(scoffing)
440
00:18:36,302 --> 00:18:37,632
So if you're not opposed
to white businesses,
441
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:38,730
then what's the problem?
442
00:18:38,805 --> 00:18:41,645
The problem is
443
00:18:41,724 --> 00:18:43,894
is that other people
are profiting off our culture,
444
00:18:43,977 --> 00:18:45,397
when it should be us.
445
00:18:45,478 --> 00:18:47,068
Fine. I don't
see it that way.
446
00:18:47,146 --> 00:18:50,276
But for the sake
of our friendship,
447
00:18:50,358 --> 00:18:52,738
I'm willing to give up delicious
ham hocks and pigs' feet.
448
00:18:52,819 --> 00:18:53,909
Hey! Two nights
in a row.
449
00:18:53,987 --> 00:18:56,907
I'm glad our food's
got you coming back.
450
00:18:56,990 --> 00:18:58,790
Yeah, well, sorry, Daryl.
We're actually on our way out.
451
00:18:58,867 --> 00:19:00,787
Now, h-hold on, hold on.
452
00:19:00,869 --> 00:19:03,579
Can I ask you a question?
453
00:19:03,663 --> 00:19:04,873
Do you like working here?
Yeah.
454
00:19:04,956 --> 00:19:06,796
Hmm.
Well, wouldn't you rather
455
00:19:06,875 --> 00:19:09,295
be working for a black chef?
456
00:19:09,377 --> 00:19:10,587
That would be cool,
but Chef Mitchell's dope.
457
00:19:10,670 --> 00:19:13,930
He's teaching me a lot.
458
00:19:14,007 --> 00:19:15,467
What can he teach you about soul
food that your grandmama can't?
459
00:19:15,550 --> 00:19:17,600
(chuckles)
It's not just about the food.
460
00:19:17,677 --> 00:19:18,887
You know, he's also teaching me
about the business.
461
00:19:18,970 --> 00:19:21,810
You never know, Mr. Butler.
462
00:19:21,890 --> 00:19:24,650
Someday, you could be rolling up
in my place.
463
00:19:24,726 --> 00:19:25,936
Mm.
464
00:19:26,019 --> 00:19:27,769
You hear that, Calvin?
465
00:19:30,857 --> 00:19:32,317
Yeah, I heard it.
466
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,320
Well, it sounds to me
like this place
467
00:19:35,403 --> 00:19:36,903
is giving our people
pretty good opportunities.
468
00:19:36,988 --> 00:19:38,698
And the food is legit.
469
00:19:38,781 --> 00:19:40,111
I-I said I heard it.
Okay.
470
00:19:40,199 --> 00:19:42,329
Okay.
471
00:19:42,410 --> 00:19:43,620
What do you say,
Calvin?
472
00:19:43,703 --> 00:19:45,283
It's your call.
473
00:19:45,371 --> 00:19:46,951
Well,
474
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,340
I did work up a
pretty big appetite
475
00:19:49,417 --> 00:19:51,667
trying to shut
this place down.
476
00:19:51,753 --> 00:19:53,083
Okay. We'll take
a table for four.
477
00:19:53,171 --> 00:19:54,831
Great. You can
follow me.
478
00:19:54,923 --> 00:19:56,503
Thank you.
(chuckles)
479
00:19:56,591 --> 00:19:58,961
Hey, uh, Calvin,
since...
480
00:19:59,052 --> 00:20:01,922
I paid last time,
tonight's on you?
481
00:20:02,013 --> 00:20:03,883
Well, I mean, chef's
white, you're white.
482
00:20:12,649 --> 00:20:15,109
Let's just keep
that going. Yeah.
483
00:20:15,193 --> 00:20:17,113
Thanks for letting me
interview you, Mr. Calvin.
484
00:20:17,195 --> 00:20:20,695
Oh, you got it,
little man.
485
00:20:22,116 --> 00:20:25,746
What I don't understand
is why you two want to be here.
486
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,000
Oh. We just want to watch
you do your thing, Pop.
487
00:20:29,082 --> 00:20:31,042
Yeah, Dad. You know,
we just want to soak up
488
00:20:32,919 --> 00:20:35,339
some of that
fatherly wisdom.
489
00:20:37,215 --> 00:20:39,175
I am quite wise, aren't I?
490
00:20:39,258 --> 00:20:42,018
All right, Grover. Fire away.
491
00:20:42,095 --> 00:20:45,515
Okay, first question.
492
00:20:45,598 --> 00:20:47,188
You're funny and cool
and everyone looks up to you.
493
00:20:47,266 --> 00:20:49,976
Yeah, and...?
494
00:20:53,773 --> 00:20:55,443
Why didn't Malcolm and Marty
get any of that?
495
00:21:00,947 --> 00:21:03,947
How much time you got?
496
00:21:04,033 --> 00:21:07,033
