Summary

@godfreycomic is back with another powerful episode of In Godfrey We Trust. In this episode the crew is comprised of Tony Tone, Guy Torry, Akeem Woods, Dante Nero and they discuss why Black History Month still matters, the books and thinkers everyone should know, and the real history of Black comedy that never gets taught. From there, the conversation jumps through sports and celebrity sightings, comedy films like Soul Plane, cruise ship disasters that sound unreal, and how culture gets gatekept the moment Black people dominate it. The crew digs into jazz history and Louis Armstrong’s legacy, code-switching as survival, Hollywood protecting powerful predators, Epstein and elite immunity, policing, ICE, and why accountability never seems to reach the top. Along the way, they break down grift culture, political loyalty driven by fear, public figures selling out their own communities, and why money — not morality — is what actually forces change. Heavy, funny, uncomfortable, and honest, this is one of those episodes that makes you laugh, think, and rewind.

Legendary Comedian Godfrey is LIVE from New York, and joins some of his best friends in stand up comedy, Hip-Hop and Hollywood to talk current events, pop culture, race issues, movies, music, TV and Kung Fu. We got endless impressions, a white producer, random videos Godfrey found on the internet and so much more! We're not reinventing the wheel, we're just talking 'ish twice a week... with GODFREY on In Godfrey We Trust.

1:06.4	because we need that as a bookmark. You understand? Listen, we should never wait on February to fucking learn about ourselves, first of all. But we need that shit. We have to respect Carter G. Woodson, who is the father of Black History Month. And if you don't know who he is, you better look him up, read his book, The Miseducation of a Negro. That's where Lauren Hill got her miseducation of Lauren Hill. She got it from that book. I read that book in college. All right? Carter G. Woodson and my boy, Nassar Metcalf, his grandfather, Ralph Medcap, Metcalf, was the guy that helped Carter G. Woodson to give us Black History Month instead of a week. So he was part of that. My friend's grandpops was part of that whole shit. So shout out to Black History Month. And I think that we should, the fact that this administration is trying to cancel the shit, we should even embrace it more. That's what I think. We should really embrace that shit more, all right?
