The Holy Ale (with Laci Mosley)

where we died Deep Deep. We spelunk into the pockets of black conspiracy theories, and we finally work to prove that cardi B is in fact short for cardio vascular bronchitis. That's right, ladies and gentlemen. She is the most woke grapper of all time. All she does is yell at people about politics on the internet, tell people to vote, promote lung health, and then put her titties on the internet to shame that mean man who cheated on her.

She is woke, she's changing the game, she's inspiring women, and she's making you go see your doctor. Thank you, cardio vascular bronchitis. You're doing the hard work that the rest of us are afraid to do. I am your host, Lenksy Herman. I'm excited to be here. It's always I have a fantastic guest today. We're gonna get right into it. I don't want to sit here in and talk bullshit to you aimlessly. I'm alone if there's no guest here and my guests, Oh, she's gonna make me feel not

alone anymore. She's gonna make all that loneliness leave my heart. She's hilarious. You know her from her amazing podcast that comes out every Tuesday called Scam Guy's So fun. Give it up my guest, Miss Lacey Mosley. You know this ain't got no applauses in a long time because we in COVID I can't do live shots. Well now a bitch got some applauses. Congratulations, thank you, I'm about I'm about Your podcast is wonderful. The pleasure of doing it.

Very recently, we talked a lot of ship about chaos in the world, and I'm so happy you get to bring your chaos to my side of the excited to have my chaos here. I will warn you Linkston when your episode comes out. I had to bleep a lot of stuff. Oh really is it? Because I was pushing the buttons. What happened? What did I do that that took us over the edge. It's not even your fault.

It's my petty ass fault. When I started naming the tags of people that I was mad at your so I had to bleep out their tags, and then you started naming them, and so we say it a lot. It's very I think anytime somebody antagonized as a person, I grew up as I don't know how you were as a child, but I grew up as an instigator. I was very much a person who I didn't want to fight anybody, but I was very happy to see a fight break out and be like, I can't believe

he said that to you. What are we gonna do about this? And just see how that all played. You were in the instigator choir, so when somebody says some fire, you were like, oh, And the key is to say it enough that they can hear you, but not loud enough that the other person who otherwise might turn against you can hear it. You know what I mean. It's a very it's a very specific art form that I think I mastered as a young person. I like that about you. I'll tell you the art from that I mastered.

I was never an instigator, but if you really like got me mad, then like I would pretend like I could fight, okay, and the time I took it too far, I'm gonna say this, I'll say this fun Okay. So let's be clear. I'm not gonna bleep it. I'm gonna leave this ship in the here. So if you name names, no names. So in college, I accidentally stole his girl boyfriend. It was an accident. It was all accident. I'm not that type I swear, but it had happened, and so

I felt bad. So she was like, this is when Twitter, Like I had just gotten on Twitter. So back then you had like kind of like you followed people that you knew. Mostly it was a friends and family app for a while, and then it branched out to people who were funny or smart or problematic, all those things.

This is the Kevin Hard dollhouse face Twitter give you give you all a real landmark for whitness was that is sorry to cut you off, but that is a fascinating moment to think that Kevin Hart was tweeting that just for his friends and family, where he's like Mark over my gay, I'm gonna beat it over the here with the dolls, and his mom was like her dad was like hell yeah, right, that's what it was like family reunion Twitter where you said that ship and you

only thought your family saw. And so she was tweeting about me the whole time, like such a bit and she's a hood and all this stuff. And I was just letting her make it because I was like, you know, this situation was foul. I gotta take my lashes, like I'm gonna just put my head down for this. Right then she told my homeboy that she didn't play on stopping. And at this point she had started making up somebody

when we gave I gave her cancer. It was just crazy anyway, yeah, like Michael Douglas sound like that somehow your vagina had giving her cancer? How did he got work? I don't even know. And I was like it was she was just crazy. So it got to a point where I was like, Okay, this can't go on any longer, like I was gonna let her rock. But she talked about all years like oh no, no, no. So I found her address because it's college, like you just asking

like we're sings on staff. Oh you pulled up, pulled up, And I have the worst kind of friends because they're like you, they're the instigator. So I'm like, no, I can't. I can't let this fly. So ill mean my workout clothes and why want my home girls. She was like, oh, you should put some vasoline on your face so the punch your blood. I love that. I love that she's encouraging you with with ship that we saw in nineties videos.

She's just like, all, you got to use the vasoline and make sure you take your earrings off in front of her so she knows you come right before you you feel like it's gonna esquate. So I went to this girl's house and waited, and so she came home with vasiline on my face and work out clothes and cuts her out. And I told her, I was like, if you ever do this again, I will pop out the bushes on your ass. Like I was, I've never gotten in a fight in my life. I will prove

to this girl that I'm scary. Yeah. Yeah, you know how I know you had never got enough fight because you put the vasoline on and then didn't fight. That's not of how that works. The girls that actually use vasiline. They did it for you. Don't grease up your face to not do nothing like finish the job, Lacey, what are we doing? I don't want to do violence to people, and I don't something to do it to me. Okay, I look at one face. I'm trying to tell this

this face as long as I can't sure. You're doing great. What a great way to start this podcast. I have to be honest, I'm really excited to get into your conspiracy theory. You had a wonderful conspiracy theory that I think is it's probably true for almost every race. I think this is one of the first conspiracy theories we've had where like it feels like it touches every community, every race, everybody sort of believes some version of the thing. We are. It's the we are the world of conspiracy

theory options. And you said, my mama told me ginger ale and crackers can care anything. And also prescription down. Okay, a prescribed laid down, A regular laid down ain't gonna do ship for you. You're gonna have somebody to tell you to go lay down and see what you need is to lay down. And you're gonna be watching Victor Newman on Young and Restless and suddenly you're healed. Sure, all that disease just lifts off of your body and you're free to go about your day. And this actually

started with my grandmother. I used to spend summers with my grandmother, which one I'm having a She was in college, so she saished up her degree doing whatever. And when I think about it, I'm like, every summer I spool with my grandparents, I'm like, my mom was probably out here wilding because she was very young. I'm like, that's at the club. She was like stood studying and ship. But my mom had me at twenty. I don't think my mom was wilding. I think my mom is a

little more of like a homebody, conservative person. But I do distinctly remember my mother like taking me to class with her and like me sitting in the back of classrooms while she's learning and like not really processing that, Like, oh, this was a kid figuring out how to be a full person in front of their kid, You know what I mean? Right, That's exactly because when I turned twenty one, it stopped seeming like an older age to me. I

was like, oh, I don't know. Shut I'm young, Like I was like, damn, shout out to my mom for not killing me, like like, I mean, she didn't wait more than that. I was fantastic, But I was like, I don't know if I would have made a past like keep the baby alive. Yeah, I got real drowned baby in a bathtub. Energy at one, I gotta I gotta praise be to a lady who was able to do not that. I at least got put some pillows around the baby and it went to the store real quick.

Get you a little forward, you good, go ahead. Wait. So your grandmother subsequently spent a lot of time with you, is what I'm gathering, And in that she tells you about all these remedies. Yeah, in my formative years. And it's funny because my where I'm a kind of indoctrinating me until like a death call. I know that sounds crazy,

but it's not crazy. It sounds it's just like my grandma's energy was always like I'm gonna die soon, which is a lot when you're a child, but it was always like, oh, well, you know, we're living in our last day. Every day it was our last days. That's that's a lot for a kid to be able to process. Every day was our last day. She was always like, oh, well, you know you can sing, so you know I want you to sing in my funeral. And it's like Grandma, like it's Tuesday, it's two pm, Like, why are we

talking about this? Yeah? Okay, Wait. So when she's talking about all this like mortality, is she's saying that for all of us or she's saying that specifically for her, Like is she like it's my last days or is it all of our last days? And uh, you might live a little longer than me, but we all go on. It varies, like when she talked about her funeral, obviously she was talking about herself, but then she would also always be like we living in our last day. We

included me. So I was like, we got just got here the front. I haven't even tasted Cavosier yet. What am I dying for? Already got me Cavosier before I die. I gotta pass it. Pass the Cavosier to me. It's my dying wish. No. Um, so she like, I remember once I have asthma, but it's like seasonal and it's triggered by allergens, so specifically cedar trees. If I come in contact with like that certain type of tree, it

will triggered my asthma. And it recently happened to me last time I was on a set, I had to go to the hospital. So when I was a kid, I had this really long asthma tech and like my lungs were super tight for like days, and my grandma gave me prescription lay down and they gave me ginger and they gave me crackers, and I had an asthma type for three days before I silently went to the hospital and they had to like inject me with an

epipin to get my lungs to open. So none of the prescriptions seemed to work until I don't know, maybe they did, you know, maybe they kept me alive and then I made it to the hospital by so, by your suggestion, it wasn't so much of a permanent solution as it was something that sustained you long enough to then be stabbed with an EpiPen. And that's how I think of it, because I believe in prescription. Ginger Ale

personally is swepts for me. Okay, let's talk about where you're from, because I do think ginger Ale ultimately is a regional thing. I think at the end of the day, what you're most passionate about tents as far as ginger Ale is concerned, comes from location and where are you? Where are you from? I'm from Texas, so we did have Canada dry as well, and I'll get I'll get to Canada. But everybody knows that schwepts just gets you through, like nothing just gets you throw wrong like schwepts just

clear as every thing out. I'm to be honest, I don't like the way you say swepts. It has an erotic tone to it that that my listeners are gonna find distasteful. This is a family podcast, and I don't want any of my the children at home, the children at home, I hope children aren't listening to you. Legs them little niggas. Don't like the way you're saying swepts. I know that. Oh I personally am a Canada dryman myself. If I have to go back to ginger Real, I get.

I've said it's giving it up just because it's it's pure sugar. It's just nothing but syrup with like the promise of remedy. I guess on the other end, but I definitely swepts would be my second of the of the options ginger in there. It might be there might be something you know where I don't buy into ginger ale is uh, what is it? Werners that it's a note for me dog. Yeah, that one's see verse is okay, but you know where I'm at out in my life. Fever Tree, whoa, I've never even heard of that. You

ain't have favorite tree? Okay, So that's really like this honestly, Like I feel like Schweppes was like over the counter Okay, fever Tree is under the counter ginger because when you get that joint, first of all, it's clear. That's how you know it's real. And at the bottom it's like

settled ginger like components. Because if you really juice ginger, which I used to have to do back again I worked in the Hamptons, if you juice real raw ginger, at the bottom all a little sediment will start to sit. So when you see that sediment, that's how you know that some juice ginger. Okay. So this fever Tree organization is saying we're tired of being confused with these other products that may or may not have any ginger in them.

And so subsequently we're gonna put some little ginger chips right at the bottom, like gold schlagger to make it clear that this is this is in fact that pure ship sediment. So if you put real g intro juice in there, there's gonna be sediment, you know what I mean, Like when you get a tiling all from the you know, off the you know, over the counter, like you get a little what like a sedimenta thine, but then you get some coding tiling all, you know what I mean,

Like that hit different. So the fever tree got that coating in it, right. It's the difference between like Oscar Meyer hot dog and them kosher hot dogs. The mother like the oscar Meyer it's could be anything in their hair, bone whatever they mushed up and make the hot dog. But them kosher hot dogs, those are preyed over hair and bones that get mixed into the hot dogs. So you know, God covering you when you eating the pig, and that's what you need. These are the pigs we loved.

We took care of these pigs different before we murdered them. These pigs lived a good life. That's always a fascinating promise that they make to us. Is like, no, we really love this chicken. I know you're gonna eat it. And I know what pig that's walking face anointed, you know what I mean? Okay, I hear you. I don't give a damn how my big praise that's just me. But you know I want to think to be a bishop my pig based ties every Sunday. Okay, give it

all honored the God. I love that. Good for that big I hope he's in heaven with other pigs doing whatever Saint le pigs do. Okay, So your grandmother gave you this prescription of lay down, this prescription of crackers, this prescription of ginger ale. It ultimately saves you enough to make it to the hospital get your EpiPen. Do you then move on with your life now as a practicing member of the community that believes in ginger ale and laydown or are you now just more skeptical about

the whole thing? No? I still believe. Um. At some point I would love to have a company that just sends out care packages which have ginger ale crackers. They have to be saltine that's about to say. I was going to ask you what type of crackers are we talking about? They have to be saltine. That's just I'm a traditionalist, you know. But I would send out fever

treat in my care package and the pillow. Yes, and then a channel guy for what TV shows are healing, such as Paladin, which is an old Western never smoke another smoke um. Dr Quinn Medicine Woman, great show, Dick Van Dyke. Okay, Young and than Restless is sometimes as the world turns. Wow, so you just only spent time with an old lady for the whole of your youth.

Because those were my punishment shows. Those were like the shows that like when nothing else was on, but I was fighting sleep and like dealing with whatever anxiety existed for a ten year old that I didn't know how to articulate that to what I would watch. It wasn't out of joy. I wasn't watching Dr Quinn Medicine Woman because this was, in fact a good thing for my ten year old spirit. Quin Medicine Woman taught me how to take pills. Okay, I still take my pills the same, Okay,

not like the rapper. That's how they get you all right, Dr Quinn Medicine Woman. This is a new conspiracy theory. Dr Quinn Medicine Woman is out here promoting drug how you're promoting drug abuse because like I learned, like when you take a pill, or if you have to take a lot of pills, or if like itvitamins are really big, instead of putting the dry pills in your mouth, first,

you fill your like you drink water. You fill your mouth with water, and then you throw the pills in there with the water and swallow it all at once and you don't even feel them go down. Okay, and this is all came from Dr Quinn Medicine Woman. Yes, well for me, I usually watch TV for strong narratives, but I love that you're using it for self help tips and that's cool too. You can get a lot

out of it. Okay. Oh and uh Touched by Angel I have to add that and Walk in Texas Ranger Okay, hell yeah, I love that very healing television shows along with your Saltines and Feverit Tree. Did you ever see the episode where Haley Joe Osmond tells Walker Texas Ranger that he has eight Yes, television has changed I'll say that that's not a thing that could happen anymore. In Quarantine. I've been watching Girlfriends Living Single The Parker Um, and it was like a time when black women started to

really go on the rise for new HIV infections. So every show has like HIV episodes and they're the most random thing. It'll be like somebody will start dating somebody and they'll be like, oh, I have eight, or like this woman was this woman and Joan we're beefing over a wedding and because Joan had like said the woman stole her boyfriend in college and she was so my boyfriend I was supposed to be with him, and she was like, do you want him? He gave me eight?

And then it's one of the like the piano playing stad music, looks like we've got a serious episode on this one, folks, And then they do statistics at the end of like black women this hell. Yeah, well, I guess it was helpful, though, you know that I was about to say, maybe this is this is how we got out of that rising crisis. Was that episode of The Parkers that it comes I'd love to do a trend shop and I was like, you know what, was funny. I could always tell it was about to happen. I

was like, no, don't do it, don't do it. Yeah,

we know better now. It's the hard part about I think revisiting and I personally don't think that we have the right to revisit these things and then like put a big, crazy judgmental eye on it, because I think a lot of the things that we were being told to laugh at by these shows, we were laughing at in real life, and so any judgment we're placing on the television we should probably place on ourselves and really spend that time analyzing why we thought it was funny

at the time, more than saying like, yeah, how dare you have done a thing that we all thought was really cool at the time, Like, no, we were idiots and now we're not, and we should acknowledge that. Anyway. Kevin Hart's my hero, and I don't think he did anything wrong. I'm joking. Before we go to break, talk to me a little bit about why salting crackers as

a must for this remedy that you're talking about. So when your stomach is in a delicate place, as it is a lot of times when you are an invalid. Okay um an invalid for y'all vocab word that means sick um. That's so pretentious of me, Like, I know, you guys don't und listen. My listeners are idiots. Go ahead, tell them all the words. They don't know. They're fucking fools. Why would they even still be listening to It's a

very it's a doctor Quinn medicine woman. I think I got it from like a more air plane and I just staying in my lexicon forever. But like so, when you are an invalid, you know you have the delicate stomach assaultine. You know, it's the closest to an air food that you can get, you know what I mean. It's just pure starch and salt, and it can coat the stomach in a way that you know, not many things can, you know. And you know there's a reason why at church you get a wafer, you know what

I mean, Because that's bread that's close to God. So you ingest in the bridge the body of you know, the Christ into your body along with the ginger rail. Uh you, So you're saying that saltines are as close to God as crackers can be without any impurities or other things sort of being added to the mix. Yes, saltines are the most godly food, I believe. You know, Jesus was handing out saltines like he was open giving

out cars. You know the girls. The girls got loaves, you know, look under your chair, and then matters like this is bread. I wanted what I'm this isn't gonna solve my problems, Jesus, I wanted something better. What are we doing? Right? It's like Jesus a thought to at least was gonna give me some of the braid of sand. Those you gotta walking all the damn time. You got this long ass fresh ass robe on here, I am in tattered guard. Give me some of that, giving me

goddamn bread. Fuck you, Jesus, that's what That's what they said. I didn't. I'm just look, that's a scripture I read. I would like you to know I have nothing to do with this man. Okay, I would keep eating your body, which is the saltine crack and pigs that I know you are kicking it with right now. All right, well, Jesus has turned on me, but Lacey is still in his good graces. We're gonna take a break and We'll be back with more lacy mostly and more, my mama

told me, and are back. You could you want you can do? So? You you do you could? You want? You want him to do you so much? You could do anything? Yeah, we're back here were more lazy mosley or more my mama told me. We're still talking about that here all ginger ale salting crackers and a prescribed lay down, the perfect fixed to all of your problems. Has there been a time recently where you've used that combo to get yourself out of a little bit of a sickness? Yes, I have um I and this is

back pre Rona. Don't judge me. I hope one of the cultural shifts will be that Americans no longer feel pride in having to go to work sick because that was just way too common. We all just accepted that if flu season meant niggas was gonna get the flu, Like, no, we didn't have to get the All side were just like, oh you know flu season. No, we could just not get the flu, or if we get it, stayed to fun home. What do we accept that? What do you want for me? I had to cough in your mouth.

It's flu season. It's like, so I had to work and I think it was the last I think, the last commercial I think I'll ever do because um, I don't like commercial um, but you know, they can bring you some coin and this one was like a national for Snickers. So I was like, fine, I'll do it, and so I go in. It's a hot ass mess. There's a hundred fifty extras. They don't know where to put me. I'm sick. Um I got and this is like fuck niggers. Yo. I was like casually seeing this

guy and we kissed. That's it, right, He goes, yeah, by the way, I'm getting over a cold now. He did say it before we kiss It's my fault. But getting over for me means that you're not contagious, because if you are an adult, you know, the first three days that you get a cold, you are contagious, so after that you're not. And this fool was fully in the middle of a cold. So the next day I wake up and I was like, I have a cold now.

So my stomach was just like no girl. So I had my saltines and I had my ginger, and I had to stand outside and like thirty degree weather and like shoot this commercial for the saltees and the ginger kept me upright, I got you, And this was you did all this for Snickers, right, wasn't that? What did that give you, guys? Snickers? To were you eating Snickers? It was like we it was a Super Bowl commercial. We were at a hole in the middle of the woods. Uh talk about we was gonna dig a hole and

put a huge snicker in it. And then they had a crane that like lowered a very large Snicker into a hole. That was all graphics, but the whole was real. Sure, so we just sang in front of a hole. Child. But that said, the ginger ale and crackers helped you make it through what otherwise would have been just you singing and being stick in the woods. Yes, I love that. I love that that. This ginger role really got my

throat fresh. You know, I felt like I had a baby throat, Like the throat was just on infant, you know, like a fresh baby throat. You know baby throats can they? Oh my guys, like the screaming all the time like that you got, you got that refurbished throat. I love that.

All right. I want to dig into some research with you because I actually think that there's a fair amount of examples of things that sort of prove exactly what you're saying, that saltine crackers and ginger ale do in fact have the potential to care a lot more than we give them credit for. So let's start with the basic saltine crackers, which I'm glad that's your cracker of choice.

It says that saltines help nausea because the crackers soak up your tent causing acids in your stomach, and they're less likely to cause more nausea because they don't have a smell. Really, that like their lack of like other ingredients, their closeness to God, as you put it, Yeah, their purity allows for them to not induce nausea in other ways. So you're already nailing it with saltines. Shout out, Tom, Shout out to your mama's, shout out to your grandma,

shout shout out to whoever invented saltine crackers. You didn't go for flavor, you didn't go for a look. You just you knew this is a cracker of function, and you just nailed it. Good for you. You didn't try it all. They look these sell themselves in a plastic sleeve and get out of here, like they put it down. They said, they don't know what it is. They don't know what the funk I got going on here. Everybody doing marketing. I feel like I don't even see commercials

for Salt Teams. They're like, the girls know we're here, they know what I'll we're on. Right. Yeah. There used to be those crackers where they would presented as like, this is the fancy cracker that you use when you want to impress your guests. This is how you'll have sex with a woman if you pull out these crackers exactly. But the Salt Teams was like, no, motherfucker, you trying to survive, get saltines. You can also put great jelly on them or American prior enjoy the recipes on the

back of a wrist cracker. They'd be like peanut, butter and jelly, right, Like this is groundbreaking information is Oh, you can put other stuff on this and make it less like a cracker and more like a sandwich. Somehow. I'm being told by my producer Olivia that fl Summer and Company invented saltines in eighteen seventy six. They've been around since eighteen seventies. Six slaves made them crackers, you know,

But I do need to think about the creators. I'm sure they were bad man, Right, there's a reason fl Summer wanted like a white box with these white crackers and a white bag. And like it turns out he's a monster. But god damn, he smashed them crackers. He did great, he did. He made the hell out of them crackers. And I'm gonna keep eating them racist crackers. And that's the thing is, we don't give racist enough credit for the good things that they do out in

the world. You know, Like, yeah, you're a bigot. Yeah you're destroying the very foundation of the way that humans should function in the world. But you nailed these crackers. Mr Summer go crazy. Yes, we'll give you your flowers for that. Okay, us talk ginger ale because ginger which ideally is the key ingredient in ginger ale ideally, so

there we go. But ginger ale contains something called ginger role, which is the main bioactive compound, and ginger role has like an insane list of potential remedies that it helps with. It aids digestion, it reduces nausea, specifically for like nausea related to like mourning sickness, or even chemotherapy. It helps fight the flu, common cold. It helps with weight loss, low cholesterol, a menstrual pain, chronic indigestion. It lowers your

blood sugar, heart disease. It can help with certain cancers, and even potentially fights off Alzheimer's. It also helps with ugliness if you got fun boy you trying to get over, also helps with that little ginger. Stop stop texting him. You know the are sure. Now see, this is where I'm gonna challenge you a little bit, because what I was referring to is ginger rale, Right, ginger al does

all those good things. Ginger Ale, as many scientists have pointed out at this point, is basically just a giant sugar juice and doesn't often contain any ginger at all, and therefore has no remedy to it whatsoever. So all these ugly curers and fuck boy preventatives that you're talking about may not, in fact be cooked into your schwepps that you're so deeply uh in low. It is, and you know you've heard of placebo effects if it even

if it ain't no ginger ale in there. My body thinks it's ger and it's helping me, you see what I'm saying, So it might as well be ger in there,

because it's still curings. And I'm so glad you said that, because a lot of the scientists and doctors who do acknowledge that ginger role is not in fact one of the key ingredients that's kicking around in ginger ale also acknowledge that because ginger ale has become synonymous with us like sort of getting remedies and treatment, they do say that the placebo effect is a valuable component in our health.

That like they give it to us at hospitals not because the ship actually works, but because we think it works, and therefore we'll start to feel better because of you know, our own brain. A Right, that's if you if your brain is convinced that it works, that means that it works. If the if we get to the same end, right, just different means. Right. But if I sip on it and I'm like, oh, my intestines there flourishing, you know

what I mean? If I feel that and then I do flourish, then that's the same thing as if it had been appealed with you know, ginger al in it or whatever. Listen, I think you're making a valid point. I don't know that I've ever outloud said my intestines are flourishing. Maybe it's a feeling that I've had more often than i'd like to acknowledge. You probably have. I mean, look, if you don't feel like your intestines are suffering, then

they're probably flourished. There, flourished, you know what I mean. We just get too used to it. But it's popping in your system. It's just like anything else, you know what I mean. Like I tell people all the time on my podcast, like it's not a lie if you believe it. I love that. So in essence, ginger ale sort of has a very scam goddess energy. It is. It is getting by on its own supply, and it's functioning in a way that allows for people to feel healed.

So great, you're you're killing the ginger ale. Here's some more fascinating information about ginger In the Middle Ages, ginger was used as a prophylactic for the bubonic plague that basically, people were worried that the bubonic plague was being transferred sexually, and I guess they were putting little pieces of ginger on their dicks and badges and keeping that somehow from spreading this terrible disease that was killing everybody. I heard

about a lemon. But like with that burn, some people like, it's spicy down there, and I think that's important. Go crazy. I don't know if it needs to be spicy down there, but at least you know, back in the day, they wasn't watching their asses, so you know if they put

legina on and hopefully smell in the bedroom. Sure, I think about that all the time when I watched all the time shows and you know, it's mostly white people in them, because if it's an older time show with black people for some reason, it always has to be slavery. It's like, you know, we did have more than than three years and just fy, we was Kangs. Sure most of us can't trace our histories back enough to know if we were in fat Kings, but somebody was a

king back then talk about that ship. But we was Kang. Okay, I was Kang with Kang. It was all Kang. Yeah, So like I always think about that when they kiss and stuffing, Like I know they ain't brush their mouths, just like I hate a sex scene in an olden time movie because I just imagine it being funky. Yeah that's fair. Yeah, there's no way that you were effectively cleaning any of your your parts, including your mouth. So all of this ship was funky as ship. So maybe

ginger was better. Maybe it just added a slightly more fragrant Yeah I need that. Except for now. I hope it's not gonna be guys out here like what I put a little ginger on. That's not a condom. That's not a condom. Don't start going the whole foods, y'all and trying to thinly ginger. I ain't got no more lifestyles, but I got some ginger in the cupboard, and uh, we could make that work. Please don't, please, do not do this. Here's so I started asking myself where did

ginger ale come from? Because it became so important to the way that we understand health in this country. Are certainly like the idea of feeling better in this country?

Where did it come from? And basically it says that ginger ale came out of basically far sarmacists and scientists wanting yeah, no, you're right, it's it's pharmacists and people wanting to take advantage of this relationship of health and ginger and all the good things that ginger ral does, and basically decided to take the alcohol out of ginger beer. So Gingerrell was them creating a non alcoholic version of ginger beer. And so this dude, Thomas Cantrell, an American

apothecary living in Ireland. Yes, I believe the great great grandfather of blue cantreil Uh, Thomas Cantrell living in Ireland, carbonated his drink with soda water and instead of yeese. Began exporting this ginger based beverage to the US around eighteen fifty, right. And then a Detroit pharmacist named James verner Oh created a blend of ginger vanilla he's not and spices. He's the he's the inventor of wurners. But I assure you this man ain't black and so ginger

vanilla spices. And he left that in an oak barrel. And then he got called off the fighting the Civil War. Not really sure which side he fought on. He's from Detroit, so I'm hoping the North, but who knows. He might have been one of them self, hating motherfucker's and then had a choice. Didn't want to go to either of them wars. They was like, come on, we go on the war. Damn it, come on side. You like, I ain't listen, I ain't got a dog in this fight. I need us to lose. I'm like, if I was

a black Confederate soldier, they'd be like, where did they go? Oh, we just went down to the watering hole. See what I would have done if they made me fight on the Confederate side. I ran out there real fast and then pretend I'd be like, oh no, they shot me and fell down and it just laid there for the whole of the fight. You gotta you just gotta quit as quickly as you can, right. I think about that a lot older time wars, especially the ones with swords.

I'm like, y'all must have been high. Did y'all take breaks? Because I'm like, stab everybody individually. That's a lot of work. No time out, no time out in war. Yeah. James Verner, he goes to war, and when he returned from the Civil War he survived. He was delighted to find that that oak barrel that he had filled, had a new flavor of a concoction that he then sold all over the Midwest, which later becomes Verner's ginger Ale. And you

know he got a shoe that's the Verner shoot. Oh it's based on the ginger ale camp, based on the and it's new balance. So you know it's white supremacist year the Confederate. Uh, all right. So then there's another example in Night to Know four, yet another pharmacist, a Canadian man named John J. McLaughlin, created a paler dryer ginger ale, Canadian dry one that appealed old to those who were put off by the sweetness and pungency of Verners.

Thus Canada Dry was born. So all of these ginger ales were sort of produced around the same time, somewhere between eighteen fifty and nineteen o four. Now here's where I started asking more important questions, when did black people start working with ginger ale, because what what's happening there? Like what when did our relationship with it sort of

kick in? And it says that part of the thing that brought black people into ginger ales in the late eighteen hundreds, ginger in Jamaica basically ginger extract was advertised as a remedy for cholera, fever, headache, nervous disability, all kinds of stuff, and then that became popular. Ginger ale became popular because of the promise of ginger ale ginger being cooked into the drink. Now, was this because you

know there's that popular Jamaican ginger mere. Was this like a part of that movement or because like the ginger beer in Jamaica is strong, like yeah, it's spicy, yeah yeah. I think what it was was like a marketing thing that hit Jamaica real hard, where everybody was like, if

you're feeling sick, funk with ginger. And then subsequently ginger beer and ginger ale took off in the black community because it's like, oh, we all have that and it's easy access and like you said, it already exists here in a way that you know later will become more popularized in America. And not like healthcare and not like white folks experiment on us, because that's still always Black folks less likely to go to the doctor because of the stigma of doctors, and I mean doctors are still

really bad to black people, especially black women. Were two thirds of the I believe that's a statistic of like, uh, what is it called mortality when it comes to having children, right, Like, we're like significantly outnumbering white women who die in childbirth because they don't believe we're in pain and stuff. So, you know, people like black folks have a really weird sorted history with medical professionals because there's so much racism

in there. It's crazy because you never think you're going to the doctor and they're gonna be doing racism to you, like when you're thinking about being sick and like, oh, this is a healer, but you forget like, oh white, I'm black here, so they also are going to try to do some racism. It's like, hey, man, I came here for an appendix, not whatever you've got going on emotionally and personally with my skin color. I had to start telling them like I gonna do doctor. That's the

first conversation I have with them. I'm like, you know, in the past, people of doctors have been very racist to me when I've asked for things. So you know, if you're just not me treatment, just write it down. I have a social media presence. I do like to tweet, like I'm trying to lay down like pleasonton racism to be like doing that guess to the other niggas, but you might want leave me alone. You heard it here first, ladies and gentlemen, lazy says, do it to them other niggas,

just not to me racism. I love that. I love that you're not working to abolish racism, you're not trying to take it out of the healthcare system. Just do it to the mother niggas, Keep me out of it. Lacy Mosley has spoken anti racis man, which is just very specific to his own. It is completely about self and also effective. They won't do it to him, and it's working all right. Here's what becomes even more fascinating

is that ginger ale. After like all these dudes invent a bunch of their own ginger ales, gingerrele becomes the most popular soda from the close of the nineteenth century up until World War Two. That yeah, like it becomes like popping. It's everybody's drinking ginger ale. You don't go

anywhere without somebody asking for a delicious ginger ale. And the only reason it stops gaining in popularity around World War two is because reese or start to thin because of the war, right, so people can't necessarily afford the ginger drinks that they wanted before. Now here's where it becomes complicated, because up until that point, the companies were creating a drink that more than likely had a lot

more ginger in it. And then post World War Two, in a more modern America, they start pulling that bullshit where they start taking ginger out of the drink and just making a soda that people want to drink for sugary purposes. And we're the only country that is like that for real, for real, Like everyone has their artificial products, but America's like, can we make everything fake? Who was making fake apples? Can we get fake celery? Like it's

so weird. I remember I lived in London for a little while and I was like, why are the eggs not in the refrigerator? They just out when brown? And I was like, oh, this is like this okay, so y'all and get a y'all and even get a chicken beechs, Well, y'all give it no right. It turns out that chickens don't lay their eggs and refrigerators, so they can, in fact stay outside for longer than we think they can just no, they are not there. They just put them in a coup and then chicken don't get cold and

they know they're pregnant. They got a real cold, my coochie cold as they are. Huh, I must be with child with eggs. And so here's where it gets even more fascinating is that even the ginger ale companies that are popular today, your Warners, your your Canada Dry, your Schwepts as you are so fond of, don't ever have to actually explain what's inside of their drinks or how much ginger is contained in those drinks because they don't

want to quote unquote give away their formula. Yeah, how you going to be like our formula is no whatsoever? We I don't think ginger should be a secret ingredient in ginger ale. And that's the thing. They say, there is ginger in it, but they don't want to say how much because they don't want somebody to come in and steal their ideas. It's a big scam. That's a huge scam. That's like selling water and being like, look, we're not gonna tell you how much actual waters in it. Okay, exactly.

This is some parts water. I ain't gonna tell you how many parts this guys some water up in it. Here's where it gets even more devastating is that these brands also do not claim that their drinks have any medicinal powers, because that would require them to meet certain regulations of ginger and ginger ale qualities. Right. They instead rely on people to do basically word of mouth advertising for them about the medicinal purposes of their drinks. And we do a good job of that, and books are

walking general advertage. And I think that's the big takeaway is whether or not these drinks are actually working is not particularly clear. But what is clear is that people all over the world are happy to do the advertising for these companies even when they can't actually prove that this ship is true. And I love it. I mean, listen, I'll advertise whatever, Snickers, ginger ale, white supremacists, crackers, anything you need, I will put my name on it. Just

don't use your racism on me. That's the Lacey Moseley way. I love it. Wow, way to quote me before, Like, I remember when George Foreman started making grills and it was like, what this nick though about grilling the own leather sandals. I don't know, but we was buying that grill. So I want my name to be all just random ship dolls, contact lenses, just stuff where they're like, what how did she get her name on contact lenses? This is not good for people to be able to see stuff.

It's just in the corner. It's just those little floaty things that just says, yeah, it's funny you bring up the George Forman grill, because in fact, I listened to our interview with Whole Cogan, once known racist Whole Cogan, uh clear Water, Florida, you get it. Whole Cogan did an interview where he talked about the fact that the George Foreman grill was in fact supposed to be the

Whole Cogan grill. They company came to him and basically said, we've got grills, We've got like blenders, we've got like all these things. What you're trying to funk with, Hulk, And he didn't answer the phone, And then when he finally called them back, they had already given the grill to George Foreman and hold Cogan instead had to get

like some bullshit spatula and it didn't sell well. But George Foreman is now a billionaire because of a grill he just put his name on and bro it was lack post especially like I feel like we did the

advertisement for the George Foreman. Every black wet to my dad when I got the little one and the big one, lean green grilling machine and that new George woman, you got new George from coming over the George Like, we did so much work for that for nothing, for absolutely free, and we helped that brain damage man go on to become a very successful businessman despite shout out to him and yeah, whole Hogan Blenders or whatever the fox see, that's what you get for being racist. We love you,

George Farman. And if there's anything else you want to put your name on, the black community will sell it for you. We will, Like you don't even have to do the advertisement table ceiling fans like, let us know George coming this fall, George farming waste trainers. We are going to help these become the most popular waste trainers on all of the Internet. I'm so excited to see them. Yes, all you need a couple of those fashioned over girls.

That my running joke on Twitter or Instagram. Two is that I want to just get enough followers to where I can be a tea influencer. Right now, I've just been striking out, lipped in on boxes and putting fit, but I want to sell diary and tea and be like, yeah, I don't work out at all. It's literally just the tea. I don't work out five days a week. It's the tea ship for hours and hours a day. But the tea,

I don't have to do anything. Have you never felt like your intestines were just like a wide open freeway. Are your intestines not thriving, but somehow your booty and titties are. You got to drink this tea. That's the key. I love it all right. We're gonna take one more break and we'll be back with more Lazy Momsey and more.

My mama told me we are back. You go, yeah, We're back here with more Lacy Mosley more, and my mama told me we're still talking about them flat tummy tease and the difference between between a regular flat tummy T and a lipt and flat tummy T, which is just what Lacey uses, but when she crosses out the lifting tidle so that she can sell it diarrhea to the girls on the internet. Yes, with the girls need diarrhea.

Have you ever fallen for it? Has there ever been one of those things where like you you got trapped in in whatever they were offering you. No, almost what I did own a waste trainer. I will say that I usually wear a waste trainer too. When I waited tables, I would wear a wist trainer the whole shift. It actually would help with my back, but yeah, I would be like, sucked the funk in. Uh, you know, just organs just in there, just pushing together in a way

that they're not supposed to sexy, you know. But no, I remember I actually went to the store and I found fit Tea in a Walgreens once, and I loved like Instagram stores. I was like, y'all, should I buy this? And everyone's like, no, it's just gonna make you ship for days. I was like, that's not fun. You're not telling me what them abs don't look like though, don't Yeah, are the abs canna be cute? Because when I had the flu, like I was snatched, I was like, damn,

like I should just really get the flu more. Maybe that's why flucys and is popping. Everybody's like, no, we just like to get it people to work. They're like, I'm trying to get the flu too. I'm trying to look good. But also like I don't like to talk too much about like the weight loss stuff because all of it is a scam and all of it's super fat phobic, And I'm like, whatever body you like and what you want your body to look like, go the

fuck off now if you would like to ship. Also while doing that by my fittee, and I think and I think if they were being more responsible, they would say exactly that, like, look, your body, your choice. You should feel comfortable the way that you are. There's no reason for you to doubt even for a second that the way that you're built there's something wrong with it that you need to fix it. But if you're trying to spend that money and ship yourself, I got you.

I got you. If you would like to make this poor choice of uh like straight up vacuuming out your intestines, let me know we got it for you. Six. Yeah. That's the failure of capitalism is that it it just doesn't tell you all the parts. It's not that we don't have the right to sell these things. I think you should have the right to sell those things. You should just be a little more transparent about what the repercussions and or experiences that are going to come out

of it. And that's what's so bad about television is like we've cultivated this atmosphere. Like I used to think that blonde hair was like a very common type of hair, but it's actually extremely uncommon. It's just like you see a lot of blonde white women on television, so you think that there are more than what there are. That's the same thing with like skinny as women on TV. It's like, also our country is considered overweight in some way.

It's like, can't we just start throwing them up on TV and actel like it's normal, because that's what's happening. Whenever I see people fat shaming on the internet, I was clicking on their profiles and I'm like, come on, dog, you yucky. What you're doing. It's okay to be fad, but like, why are you mad at everybody else? For me? Lizzo's comments all the time To prepare myself for people being mean to me, I was about to say Lizzo,

the way people talk to Lizzo. I I got sad in a way that I can't even go back and check on her. It's just like that's I try to go and put some positivity and I put my legs or whatever. But I always think about that because I'm like, the more I work, the more people find me on the internet. I'm like, they like me now, but they're going to start being mean to me soon. So I read other people's comments to get up for the meaning. Well,

that's what's crazy. It's like she was thriving. She was doing great for like a two year period where every everything she did we celebrated it. We told her how beautiful fool she was. She was groundbreaking. Look at you, twerking. It jiggles more than the twerks were used to, but we love it. Like everything was positive, and then as soon as she did something that exceeded people's expectations for her, they immediately like turned her into like some sort of

monster when it's none of that. It's just a nice lady being silly on the internet and making you know, good music. That's what they do when you rise to fame. Remember Tiffany Hats like, I love her. I think she's so nice. Um, I've only interacted with her a few times, and she was so sweet and like when she was rising up, they were like yeah. And as soon as she got real popping, everybody was like, we hate you now, and I was like, this geme's happening, especially with black women.

Y'all got to lift these queens up or just let them let them live. You ain't. I don't know, Like I I'm in a space where it's like, if at any point this is distasteful to you to the point that you want to say, just let it live. It ain't bugging nobody to be in your group chat. I have snarky comments about celebrities sometimes, and you know what I do. I send it to my crop chat. Yeah, like tag the person and be like, I think you

have a lazy you know. I tell I tell the six people I care about most that they have a lazy eye, and then we talk about it for hours. And I pray that that group chat never becomes public because it'll ruin my career and everyone else is around me, but for now they're the only people that know. That's why I gotta start sending voice messages, the ones where you can't keep it. Oh, come on, now, you're not

going with the time. Also, damn tips, you can delete Instagram messages that you send to people send a message and then stealing back like a little invisible ink. I love that. That's great. Okay, let's play a game. I want to play a game with you. And this is a very fun game that I like to call. Okay,

this is homemade. Oh been that bad way up? And the way that this game works is I'm going to introduce to you a fact, a standard true fact out in the world, and what I would like for you to do is to hotep the ship out of it, bringing all the conspiratorial crazy that you think you need to make this fact feel less like a fact and more like something that is destructive to the black community or the people around it. Okay, got it, great, So

you're fact today. The US government, starting in ten stopped keeping every tweet but instead just now he basically saves a very selective amount or certain selective group of tweets. But between two thousand six and seen, the US government saved every single public tweet, every single one. It's like kept in a database somewhere from two thousand six to why do you think that is hotep? That ship for me,

make it a homemade Hotep as you wish. So wow, first of all, first and foremost given all honor, two guys, kings and queens. In two thousand and six, I want to talk to you about a man. I want to talk to you about a man whose name is Barack Hussein Obama. And in two thousand six, this is where he really started getting percolate. This is when he started percolating. Everybody was like, okay, he was an alderman. Now he a senator. And look at this black man rise like

a shooting star. You know what I mean. People started whispering. They're like president, you know and Twitter, Twitter knew this and they saw they saw this thing coming right two thousand six, right, right, right, why do you think that? Okay, so we're talking two thousands six on president will run two thousand seven, right, Okay, so we're talking Obama. Wait right, Obama's president. Right, everything's black. You know they're worried about

Nick revolved. You know, all things is gonna get excited and their black lead are gonna come and you know it's gonna be too solid of a tour all over again. It's gonna be the Haitian Revolution, you know what. They thought, like, maybe Nig's gonna get too spicy, so let's just keep all of their tweets, right, And that's why in seventeen, which is a year after sixteen, which right, that's when they stopped saving all the tweets cause I was like, we don't even need this, you don't gonna need growing

off this anymore. So now we're just gonna save like black Twitter issue. It's like, but y'all, black Twitter, we started getting a little too organized on Twitter. Now. Yeah, it's jokes like navy and jokes, you know, on anybody and anybody's circumstance, even when we thought was gonna have World War three jokes. But but now the government knows about black Twitter where we are, like, think about think about the last time you saw Wendy tweet. Why Wendy

tweets so black? Why wind have a mix tape? It's all connected. Why does Wendy's have a mixtape? Because black people like mixtape said, whether they sell them out of the trunk of their car. The government is trying to get inside Joe vehicle, who hear you where they want you to go. Oh, oh, there it is there, there it is, ladies and gentlemen, motherfucking complete Oh man, that you you brought up a lot of powerful ship here.

You're saying that there's a real possibility that they started tracking every single tweet as a way of containing this nig revolution that was building in relation or potentially building in relation to Barack Obama. And then as soon as he was out of office, they no longer needed to collect all of those tweets because they had all the information and documentation that they needed. And for some we reason,

Wendy's is connected to all of that you did. You did all the things that a hotep is meant to do. Why are the patties square? Uh? Now there it is because they try to put in a box the key to being a good hotep is and like you said, thank God, and then and then really connected to a bunch of things that are nonsensical while making a few really good points perfect. Why is wendy slogan fresh never frozen? What a black people like to be fresh? Fresh? Why

th parotificate on that? Kings and queens listen, I'm thinking about it, and I know my listeners at home are also thinking about it, probably in different ways than we anticipated, but they're thinking about it a lot of tr Dictionary of Vocabulary and stop putting two and three together exactly. Well, Lazy, I think we did it. You nailed it. You nailed being on the podcast. What a great guest. Could you tell all the people where they can find you? What

cool ship you have going on? Yes, Kings and Queen, don't break characters, stay in it. Don't let me ruin it. Go ahead, Kings and Queens. The opresstional Hebrew is real, likexed. Y'all can find me at D D A l A C I Diva Lacey on all platforms, and if you'd like to listen to my podcast, which is about robbery and comedy, that said scam got his pot on all platforms. M lazy mostly so funny. I also feel free to

follow me on all the platforms. I'm not gonna do it in character, all right, this is my personality all

the time. And also, please, I would love for you to send me drops or potential conspiracy theories that you believe, and specifically, if you want to send voice memos, there's a possibility that we would unpack them on episodes in the future, so please send all those to uh my mama pot at gmail dot com and otherwise get the funk out of here by Owasca money R. She's do many Turkey stuff I can't tell me about my
