On this week’s session of The Bird & The Bear … Sammy and Daryl discuss men’s health, bad Manosphere advice, and why it’s important to call out “Uncle Toms” … The latter half of this episode is based on a YouTube video by F.D Signifier, “This 20 Year old classic film might take your Black Card” … Let’s sort through it together!

(0:00) - The session opens with Daryl getting some bad news that sparks a conversation about the fragility of men’s health and how easily stress can age them - “But I don’t know too many, if any men that can successfully handle emotional or environmental change”

(13:47) - Criticizing health advice from Manosphere influencers and how the Manoshpere ends up targeting young black men the most - “Liver King … More like liver cancer”

(22:52) - Looking back at a Tik Tok trend that had white people wearing face paint during the George Floyd protests - “It took me a minute to realize I was looking at a face … I was like, ‘Is this somebody’s ass? What am I looking at here?”

(36:56) - The discussion on the 2000s movie Bamboozled begins with Daryl explaining his own experience with “Uncle Toms” and Sammy giving a quick rundown of the movie's plot and cast - “They purposely separated us from what would have been our black identity because of what the state of the black identity was then”

(50:51) - Breaking down the funniest elements of Bamboozled and discussing who the current day “Uncle Toms” might be - “He does provide resources … But, so did Sammy Davis”

(1:07:20) - Finale thoughts on Bamboozled and the movies overall message - “That’s why there’s nothing to say about it … You can’t articulate it … You have to feel it”
