Introducing: Look Back At It

0:00Do you remember when Diana Ross double-taped Little Kim's boots at the VMAs? Her one Kanye said that George Bush didn't like black people. What about when Carlton got that gun after he and Will got robbed? Or when high-sea discontinued the Epto cooler flavor? I know what you're thinking. What the hell does George Bush got to do with Little Kim? Well, you can find out on the Look Back at It podcast. I'm Sam Jett. And I'm Alex Eglish. Each episode, we pick you here, unpack what went down, and try to make sense of how we survived it. With our friends, fellow comedians, and favorite authors. We turn to some of our favorite people and ask, Who were you back then? And how did the past shape the world as we know it today? Like Mark Lamont Hill on the crack filled 80s. To be clear, 84 was big to me, not just because of crack. I'm down to talking about crack old days, but yeah, yeah. No, we also have eights on the table right now, so. It was a wild, I mean, it was a wild year. It was a wild year. People think it's a more important year for black people. Really, yeah. For me, it's one of the most important years for black people in American history.

1:03Or Sydney Washington on 2001. Are you figuring out your gay or you're not gay at all? I'm not gay at all. Me either. That is a hell of a sexual lady. I'm not gay at all in 2001 either. Or Larry Wilmore schooling us on the year 1979. History not only repeats itself, it turns into mystery before it comes back and becomes history once again. Boom, that was dope. That just blew my wig back. That's awesome. We're running back the hands of time together, y'all. To find out what happens when people stop being polite and start getting. Hold up, hold up. So we're doing the real world line now. Not you dating yourself. That's the point, Alex. We're looking back at it and everything else too.
