My Momma Told Me

New Year, New Black-Eyed Peas (with Monét X Change) RE-RELEASE

My Momma Told Me

Show Notes

Does eating black-eyed peas on New Year's Eve bring you good fortune? Langston and David welcome drag superstar Monét X Change (Winner of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars S4) to discuss this very popular superstition. Why do we cook these legumes? Does this tradition bring good fortune? Also, is a tomato a berry? Of course, we dive into the history of this conspiracy and learn a lot of things along the way: Britney Spears' reggae jam, how to properly eat mangoes, and more importantly...that we're all lucky to be at a Cheesecake Factory.
