Ep 173: We're Old
from Black and Snerdy Podcast Hosted by Ode and Mo "Kid" Licorish
On this episode of Black and Snerdy, Ode (@thatsod.e / @thatsod_e) and Mo "Kid" Licorish (@licorishislegit) celebrate Black History Month by centering the conversation on the icons of the past and the history-makers of the present. They start with a deep dive into the 68th Annual Grammy Awards, breaking down Kendrick Lamar’s legendary night as he officially becomes the most awarded rapper in Grammy history with 27 wins. From the infectious energy of Durand Bernarr to the baffling (but peak TV) moment where Cher forgot to present the award and called it "Luther Bedrock," the hosts capture all the "Black people showing out" energy of the ceremony. The conversation naturally bridges the gap between modern hits and historical legacies, moving from Kendrick’s "minor chords" and SZA’s dominance to a tribute to Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, and Sojourner Truth. They riff on the importance of hearing Black voices in the 90s and 2000s before the industry even hired Black writers, citing the lasting impact of roles voiced by Phil LaMarr and Cree Summer in classics like Samurai Jack and Tank Girl. If you’re looking for a full 2026 Grammy recap with Kendrick and SZA, Cher’s "Mylanta-high" award presentation, Black History Month tributes from Harriet Tubman to Issa Rae, and a blerd look at Cree Summer and Phil LaMarr’s voice-acting legacies, this episode brings the history and the hype.
