178
00:08:02,030 --> 00:08:03,032
I mean, I was a lost soul
179
00:08:03,032 --> 00:08:05,971
before I found this white shirt
and blue pants.
180
00:08:05,971 --> 00:08:08,777
Let's find the outfit
that'll make Naima look at me
181
00:08:08,777 --> 00:08:10,881
the way that Marge looks at you.
182
00:08:10,881 --> 00:08:11,616
Worried?
183
00:08:11,616 --> 00:08:13,086
Blindly in love.
184
00:08:13,086 --> 00:08:15,290

185
00:08:15,290 --> 00:08:17,494

191
00:08:25,544 --> 00:08:26,312
Who said you could do
192
00:08:26,312 --> 00:08:28,784
a dressing room montage
in my store?
193
00:08:28,784 --> 00:08:30,153
If you're not gonna buy anything,
194
00:08:30,153 --> 00:08:32,057
then get your
yacht-rock-listening corny asses
195
00:08:32,057 --> 00:08:33,694
back to Starbucks.
196
00:08:33,694 --> 00:08:35,664
Oh, come on,
you got to help my friend.
197
00:08:35,664 --> 00:08:37,467
He needs a new look by tonight.
198
00:08:37,467 --> 00:08:41,710
Huh. What's a square like you
doing with an oval like that?
199
00:08:41,710 --> 00:08:44,916
(sighs) I get it,
the buckle's not cool.
200
00:08:44,916 --> 00:08:47,655
Every time I wear it
I get razzed.
201
00:08:47,655 --> 00:08:49,458
Savagely razzed.
202
00:08:49,458 --> 00:08:50,628
Tell you what,
you trade me that buckle,
203
00:08:50,628 --> 00:08:54,903
I'll take all this wrong
and make it right.
204
00:08:56,540 --> 00:08:58,142
CARL:
Naima's worth it.
205
00:08:59,612 --> 00:09:03,352
Now, can you make me look real?
You know, authentic.
206
00:09:03,352 --> 00:09:05,658

Naima,
this place is amazing!
214
00:09:21,823 --> 00:09:25,765
- When did you open?
- Um, 75 years ago.
215
00:09:25,765 --> 00:09:29,004
My great-grandparents started
out selling gumbo off of a cart.
216
00:09:29,004 --> 00:09:31,275
They gave free samples out
to the kids,
217
00:09:31,275 --> 00:09:34,014
you know, just poured it
right into their cupped hands.
218
00:09:34,014 --> 00:09:37,889
That cart, it became
my favorite table in the house.
219
00:09:37,889 --> 00:09:39,291
Wow, that's a lot of history,
220
00:09:39,291 --> 00:09:42,965
and, uh, ancestors, and, uh...
221
00:09:42,965 --> 00:09:44,201
flavor.
222
00:09:44,201 --> 00:09:45,971
So, tell me about you.
223
00:09:45,971 --> 00:09:48,476
You know, like, what
are you into besides bowling?
224
00:09:48,476 --> 00:09:50,447
CARL:
Don't talk about Moe's. Don't talk about Moe's.
225
00:09:50,447 --> 00:09:52,484
- Lenny!
- Who's Lenny?
226
00:09:52,484 --> 00:09:53,152
Ah, just my friend from Moe's.
227
00:09:53,152 --> 00:09:55,724
Oh, that's cool.
228
00:09:55,724 --> 00:09:57,962
I see you're into
the Black Panthers.
229
00:09:57,962 --> 00:09:59,732
Oh, yeah. Totally.
Wakanda Forever.
230
00:09:59,732 --> 00:10:04,542
No, Huey P. Newton,
the guy that's on your shirt.
231
00:10:04,542 --> 00:10:06,245
Oh, right. Him.
232
00:10:06,245 --> 00:10:08,750
My man, Old Huey P.
233
00:10:08,750 --> 00:10:12,057
1942 to 1989.
Early life and education...
234
00:10:12,057 --> 00:10:14,996
(chuckles) Are you googling him
under the table?
235
00:10:14,996 --> 00:10:18,871
No, I was, uh,
just looking at this dope kale.
236
00:10:18,871 --> 00:10:20,574
Those are collard greens.
237
00:10:20,574 --> 00:10:23,614
Right.
I love all the urban veggies.
238
00:10:23,614 --> 00:10:24,516
Urban veggies?
239
00:10:24,516 --> 00:10:27,622
Okay. You embarrassing
yourself right now.
240
00:10:27,622 --> 00:10:29,626
Look, I'm sorry.
241
00:10:29,626 --> 00:10:30,093
I'm new to all this.
242
00:10:30,093 --> 00:10:32,497
New to being Black?
243
00:10:32,497 --> 00:10:34,201
Yes! I mean, no.
244
00:10:34,201 --> 00:10:37,340
I mean, I'm just trying
to be more convincing at it.
245
00:10:37,340 --> 00:10:40,848
I got the Denzel, I'm wearing
second-hand leather underwear,
246
00:10:40,848 --> 00:10:42,919
and I'm doused
in Michael Jordan cologne
247
00:10:42,919 --> 00:10:45,524
and Michael B. Jordan aftershave.
248
00:10:45,524 --> 00:10:48,831
Ooh, wow. Okay, there's
a lot to unpack there.
249
00:10:48,831 --> 00:10:52,137
Look, I liked the guy
that I met at the bowling alley,
250
00:10:52,137 --> 00:10:54,676
and I wanted to get
to know him better,
251
00:10:54,676 --> 00:10:57,214
but I don't see
how that's gonna happen
252
00:10:57,214 --> 00:10:59,619
'cause you don't know you.
253
00:11:00,386 --> 00:11:04,094
So take my advice--
it's time to figure that out.
254
00:11:04,094 --> 00:11:08,135
I'll have them wrap up
your oxtails to go.
255
00:11:08,135 --> 00:11:09,906
I was eating what?
256
00:11:10,608 --> 00:11:12,979
(country music playing)
257
00:11:26,338 --> 00:11:27,474
(sighs)
258
00:11:28,109 --> 00:11:29,612
Back early, eh?
You know what they say,
259
00:11:29,612 --> 00:11:33,787
"The shorter the date,
the more it went great."
260
00:11:33,787 --> 00:11:35,991
No! It was terrible.
261
00:11:35,991 --> 00:11:39,131
All she wanted to know about
was the real me.
262
00:11:39,131 --> 00:11:42,003
You mean self-reflection?
Who does that?
263
00:11:42,003 --> 00:11:43,974
Yeah, whoa, whoa, whoa,
trust the sign.
264
00:11:43,974 --> 00:11:45,210
Mm-hmm.
265
00:11:45,210 --> 00:11:47,047
I think I know
what she was getting at, but...
266
00:11:47,047 --> 00:11:48,784
See, it's got to do with...
267
00:11:48,784 --> 00:11:49,752
Nah, never mind.
268
00:11:49,752 --> 00:11:51,656
You guys wouldn't understand.
269
00:11:51,656 --> 00:11:53,192
Sure we would.
We're your best friends.
270
00:11:53,192 --> 00:11:56,298
We pee in the same trough together.
271
00:11:56,298 --> 00:11:58,135
We've melted so much ice.
272
00:11:58,135 --> 00:12:01,576
Just say what you need to say,
eh? We got this.
273
00:12:01,576 --> 00:12:03,479
I'm confused about
my racial identity!
274
00:12:04,983 --> 00:12:07,254
(overlapping nervous mumbling)
275
00:12:07,254 --> 00:12:09,024
(slurping nervously)
276
00:12:09,792 --> 00:12:13,132
Hey, I know avoidance slurps
when I hear 'em.
277
00:12:13,132 --> 00:12:15,103
(slurping)
278
00:12:15,103 --> 00:12:17,240
No, we're perfectly comfortable
talking about...
279
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:18,476
(whispers):
race.
280
00:12:18,476 --> 00:12:19,378
I mean, I can talk about
281
00:12:19,378 --> 00:12:21,048
(whispers):
race...
282
00:12:21,048 --> 00:12:21,850
(normal volume):
...all day.
283
00:12:21,850 --> 00:12:23,219
Oh, me, personally,
284
00:12:23,219 --> 00:12:24,421
I don't even see...
(whispers): color.
285
00:12:24,421 --> 00:12:27,995
Look, being adopted and raised
by white folks from Iceland,
286
00:12:27,995 --> 00:12:29,699
I've always felt
like an outsider--
287
00:12:29,699 --> 00:12:31,536
not Icelandic enough,
not Black enough.
288
00:12:31,536 --> 00:12:34,542
I mean, hey, sure,
I'm barfly enough,
289
00:12:34,542 --> 00:12:36,045
but that's not enough.
290
00:12:36,045 --> 00:12:39,752
Hey, barflies have
a rich and storied-- (belches)
291
00:12:39,752 --> 00:12:41,221
I don't know anything
about my roots!
292
00:12:41,221 --> 00:12:45,196
That stupid old rodeo
belt buckle was the only thing
293
00:12:45,196 --> 00:12:47,467
I ever got
from my birth parents.
294
00:12:47,467 --> 00:12:49,304
- (sighs)
- The buckle?
295
00:12:49,304 --> 00:12:50,941
But you gave that away.
296
00:12:50,941 --> 00:12:53,012
I know!
It-it was a panic swap!
297
00:12:53,012 --> 00:12:56,452
I thought I could get rid of
this sucky feeling of emptiness,
298
00:12:56,452 --> 00:12:58,289
but now it's worse than ever.
299
00:12:58,289 --> 00:13:00,928
If I'm ever going to be
with someone as great as Naima,
300
00:13:00,928 --> 00:13:03,232
then I need to find out
who I am.
301
00:13:03,232 --> 00:13:03,900
And for the first time
in my life,
302
00:13:03,900 --> 00:13:07,307
the answer isn't in this bar.
303
00:13:09,979 --> 00:13:12,752
(slurping nervously)
304
00:13:12,752 --> 00:13:13,920
(slurping continues)
305
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,392
- (Barney belches)
- (slurping continues)
306
00:13:20,734 --> 00:13:23,072
Carl's never been away
from Moe's this long.
307
00:13:23,072 --> 00:13:24,441
He missed
Public Domain Karaoke Night.
308
00:13:24,441 --> 00:13:27,515
How could I sing
"Toot, Toot, Tootsie, Goodbye!"
309
00:13:27,515 --> 00:13:28,884
without my duet partner?
310
00:13:28,884 --> 00:13:33,292
Well, Carl did open up to you
about some big issues.
311
00:13:33,292 --> 00:13:34,529
Just his identity.
312
00:13:34,529 --> 00:13:36,833
My book club book says
it's important to look at
313
00:13:36,833 --> 00:13:38,737
the discomfort you felt
as an opportunity
314
00:13:38,737 --> 00:13:43,212
to "explore your unacknowledged
privilege."
315
00:13:43,212 --> 00:13:44,147
Oh, buzz words.
316
00:13:44,147 --> 00:13:46,519
Have you even called him?
317
00:13:46,519 --> 00:13:47,922
What am I supposed to say?
318
00:13:47,922 --> 00:13:50,794
Let's start with
what you're not supposed to say.
319
00:13:50,794 --> 00:13:52,765
-"My feelings matter, too."
- Said that.
320
00:13:52,765 --> 00:13:53,700
-"Slavery was a long time ago."
- Thought that.
321
00:13:53,834 --> 00:13:57,040
-"But I love Eddie Murphy."
- Lenny tweeted that.
322
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:58,910
I just want things
to be normal again.
323
00:13:58,910 --> 00:14:01,148
Oh, that's on the list.
324
00:14:01,148 --> 00:14:02,918
Doesn't the book have
any suggestions
325
00:14:02,918 --> 00:14:04,321
for what I should do?
326
00:14:04,321 --> 00:14:06,492
Hmm. Not to gesture,
not to quote,
327
00:14:06,492 --> 00:14:09,932
not to laugh too hard at,
not to think, not to wear,
328
00:14:09,932 --> 00:14:12,571
not to wear on Halloween,
not to sing along to in the car.
329
00:14:14,609 --> 00:14:17,080
Look, Homer. I know you.
330
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,217
You're never going to say
the right thing,
331
00:14:19,217 --> 00:14:22,257
but that doesn't mean
you should stop trying.
332
00:14:32,010 --> 00:14:34,047
Lenny, are you sure you're okay
333
00:14:34,047 --> 00:14:35,718
with selling
your vintage suspenders
334
00:14:35,718 --> 00:14:37,387
to buy back Carl's buckle?
335
00:14:37,387 --> 00:14:38,389
Well, the doctor says
I should take a break
336
00:14:38,523 --> 00:14:41,863
because of the shoulder grooves
and nipple abrasions.
337
00:14:41,863 --> 00:14:44,167
You guys had
the same idea as me.
338
00:14:44,167 --> 00:14:47,608
You're the best friends a guy
with no sense of self can have!
339
00:14:47,608 --> 00:14:49,679
We're gonna get
that buckle back.
340
00:14:49,679 --> 00:14:51,048
I already sold that buckle.
341
00:14:51,048 --> 00:14:52,417
Aw. Who bought it?
342
00:14:52,417 --> 00:14:54,922
I don't know.
Some white guy who talks funny.
343
00:14:54,922 --> 00:14:58,597
Oh, that could be any of
the weirdos in this town.
344
00:14:58,597 --> 00:14:59,966
- Crinkle me kilt!
- Avast!
345
00:14:59,966 --> 00:15:02,003
Zounds, Horatio.
346
00:15:02,003 --> 00:15:04,742
Damn,
this place gentrified fast.
347
00:15:04,742 --> 00:15:06,145
Look, I don't know
who bought your buckle.
348
00:15:06,145 --> 00:15:07,414
All I know is
I call him the Rich Texan
349
00:15:07,414 --> 00:15:10,587
on account of him being
a rich Texan.
350
00:15:10,587 --> 00:15:13,727
I love buckles. Yeehaw!
351
00:15:13,727 --> 00:15:16,465
- (bullet ricocheting)
- (exclaiming)
352
00:15:16,465 --> 00:15:20,072
While that's doing its thing,
let's talk.
353
00:15:20,072 --> 00:15:22,477
My buckle shows
a cowboy wrestling a bull
354
00:15:22,477 --> 00:15:24,682
and kind of... kissing it?
355
00:15:24,682 --> 00:15:27,120
Oh, that one?
Ain't no smooch.
356
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,625
He's biting its lip. Bulldogging.
357
00:15:29,625 --> 00:15:31,361
I already flipped it.
358
00:15:31,361 --> 00:15:32,297
Aw! You sold it?
359
00:15:32,297 --> 00:15:36,606
To a pal of mine
who's a real buckle-head.
360
00:15:36,606 --> 00:15:38,543
He said it had
a heapin' helpin'
361
00:15:38,543 --> 00:15:40,547
of historical heritage.
362
00:15:40,547 --> 00:15:43,185
Do you think the guy who bought
it could help me find my roots?
363
00:15:43,185 --> 00:15:46,158
Hmm. Well, it's a long shot.
364
00:15:47,528 --> 00:15:50,968
Fellas, meet the host of
Finding Your Roots,
365
00:15:50,968 --> 00:15:53,540
Dr. Henry Louis Gates, Jr.
366
00:15:53,540 --> 00:15:56,411
Dr. Gates,
you're a national treasure.
367
00:15:56,411 --> 00:15:58,984
Please, at best
I'm a regional treasure.
368
00:15:58,984 --> 00:16:02,023
That buckle is a stunning piece
of American history.
369
00:16:02,023 --> 00:16:04,461
What's your connection to it?
370
00:16:04,461 --> 00:16:05,998
Well, all I know is that
after my parents died,
371
00:16:05,998 --> 00:16:08,369
it was in my bassinet
when I was dropped off
372
00:16:08,369 --> 00:16:09,204
at the orphanage.
373
00:16:09,404 --> 00:16:12,177
Other than that,
my heritage is a blank slate.
374
00:16:12,177 --> 00:16:15,049
Solving this kind of
life-defining, soul-affirming
375
00:16:15,049 --> 00:16:17,855
historical riddle is the reason
I created this show.
376
00:16:17,855 --> 00:16:20,259
Tell my next guest
he's bumped.
377
00:16:20,259 --> 00:16:23,465
Ah, it's probably for the best.
378
00:16:23,465 --> 00:16:25,002
ANNOUNCER:
Finding Your Roots.
379
00:16:25,002 --> 00:16:26,773
With Dr. Henry Louis Gates, Jr.
380
00:16:26,773 --> 00:16:29,979
Carl, when you look at
this buckle, what do you feel?
381
00:16:29,979 --> 00:16:32,483
I just want to know...
what gives?
382
00:16:32,483 --> 00:16:34,889
Today, you'll hear
the story that answers
383
00:16:34,889 --> 00:16:38,195
that very question:
"what gives?"
384
00:16:39,732 --> 00:16:42,838
What got you started
on this journey of discovery?
385
00:16:42,838 --> 00:16:44,942
An amazing woman I met.
386
00:16:44,942 --> 00:16:47,413
Hey, the most awkward guy
I ever dated is on TV.
387
00:16:47,413 --> 00:16:50,554
Ooh, come on,
mention the restaurant.
388
00:16:50,554 --> 00:16:52,423
I felt like such a fool
389
00:16:52,423 --> 00:16:55,162
as I left with my takeout bag
from SoulHouse.
390
00:16:55,162 --> 00:16:57,801
- (cheers)
- He said it! Ooh, he said it.
391
00:16:57,801 --> 00:16:59,337
Let me introduce you to Ellis.
392
00:16:59,337 --> 00:17:01,976
Ellis! I bet I'm related to him.
393
00:17:01,976 --> 00:17:03,813
I wasn't supposed
to say that yet, was I?
394
00:17:03,813 --> 00:17:05,651
Just act surprised later.
395
00:17:05,651 --> 00:17:06,920
Turn the page.
396
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,725
From this pre-Civil War
document, we know that
397
00:17:09,725 --> 00:17:12,631
your fourth great-grandfather
was born into slavery
398
00:17:12,631 --> 00:17:14,702
on a ranch in Texas.
399
00:17:14,702 --> 00:17:18,643
On what would become
the first Juneteenth in 1865,
400
00:17:18,643 --> 00:17:21,081
Ellis got word that
the Emancipation Proclamation
401
00:17:21,081 --> 00:17:22,150
had freed the slaves
402
00:17:22,150 --> 00:17:24,822
two years earlier.
403
00:17:24,822 --> 00:17:26,559
Angry and determined,
404
00:17:26,559 --> 00:17:28,395
he leapt onto the wildest
stallion on the ranch
405
00:17:28,395 --> 00:17:29,565
and held on for dear life.
406
00:17:29,565 --> 00:17:32,838
Three days later,
and two states over,
407
00:17:32,838 --> 00:17:34,407
that stallion was broken.
408
00:17:34,407 --> 00:17:36,813
But Ellis,
who'd been born a slave,
409
00:17:36,813 --> 00:17:38,282
was not only free,
410
00:17:38,282 --> 00:17:40,988
now he was a cowboy.
411
00:17:40,988 --> 00:17:42,791
Really?
I come from cowboys?
412
00:17:42,791 --> 00:17:47,433
DR. GATES:
My friend, you come from a long line of cowboys,
413
00:17:47,433 --> 00:17:50,106
right up to Wyatt, your father.
414
00:17:50,106 --> 00:17:52,010
CARL:
That's my dad.
415
00:17:52,010 --> 00:17:55,984
And here he is
at the Okmulgee Oklahoma Rodeo.
416
00:17:55,984 --> 00:17:58,188
- (bull grunting)
- (spectators cheering)
417
00:17:59,124 --> 00:18:02,430
20 seconds!
Unbelievable ride!
418
00:18:02,430 --> 00:18:04,602
What are you gonna do
with your grand prize buckle?
419
00:18:04,602 --> 00:18:08,510
Use it to hold up my Wranglers.
(chuckles)
420
00:18:08,510 --> 00:18:11,448
But then I'm going
to pass it on to my kin.
421
00:18:11,448 --> 00:18:14,321
Folks don't always see us
as cowboys,
422
00:18:14,321 --> 00:18:17,695
but when my boy wears
this blue-ribbon belly-badge,
423
00:18:17,695 --> 00:18:21,368
he'll know bull riding's
in his blood.
424
00:18:21,368 --> 00:18:24,341
I finally know who I am.
425
00:18:29,952 --> 00:18:32,090
I'm a Black cowboy.
426
00:18:32,090 --> 00:18:33,025
Uh, that's great, Carl,
427
00:18:33,258 --> 00:18:36,633
but does that mean you're
qualified to be doing this?
428
00:18:36,633 --> 00:18:38,469
(bull snorts)
429
00:18:38,469 --> 00:18:41,074
Yeah, what the hell
are you doing?
430
00:18:41,074 --> 00:18:42,511
What I was born to do.
431
00:18:42,511 --> 00:18:45,049
Get killed by
a 2,000-pound super cow?
432
00:18:45,049 --> 00:18:47,988
Guys, don't worry,
I got the buckle.
433
00:18:47,988 --> 00:18:49,391
Uh...
434
00:18:49,391 --> 00:18:51,863
Doctor,
can't you do something?
435
00:18:51,863 --> 00:18:53,533
Sorry, I see this a lot.
436
00:18:53,533 --> 00:18:56,438
Once, I had to pull Laurence
Fishburne out of a jet cockpit
437
00:18:56,438 --> 00:18:59,210
after he found out
his great-uncle was
438
00:18:59,210 --> 00:19:01,081
a Tuskegee Airman.
439
00:19:01,081 --> 00:19:03,085
Naima, you came!
440
00:19:03,085 --> 00:19:05,724
Yeah,
I got your suicidal Evite.
441
00:19:05,724 --> 00:19:07,160
(bull snorting)
442
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,030
Carl, don't do this.
443
00:19:09,030 --> 00:19:11,034
You don't need
to prove anything to me.
444
00:19:11,034 --> 00:19:13,773
No, I need to prove it
to myself.
445
00:19:13,773 --> 00:19:16,011
Bull riding is in my blood.
446
00:19:16,011 --> 00:19:17,681
(groans) That is not
how blood works!
447
00:19:17,681 --> 00:19:20,987
Now, get off of that monster
before I come over there.

457
00:19:45,504 --> 00:19:49,244
Carl, you held on

Don't worry, I'll fix that.
462
00:19:56,993 --> 00:20:00,266
My great-great-grandfather was
a doctor in the Civil War.

Get the hell out of here.
464
00:20:01,936 --> 00:20:04,675
One in four cowboys who settled
the Old West was Black.
465
00:20:04,675 --> 00:20:06,979
(chuckles) Oh,
and you know the Lone Ranger?
466
00:20:06,979 --> 00:20:09,685
No, I'm a young person.
467
00:20:09,685 --> 00:20:13,092
Well, he was based on
a real guy, Lawman Bass Reeves.
468
00:20:13,092 --> 00:20:16,532
Maybe it's that you took my
advice and explored your past,
469
00:20:16,532 --> 00:20:19,505
or maybe I just like a man
who does what I tell him,
470
00:20:19,505 --> 00:20:22,878
but I feel very close to you
right now.
471
00:20:22,878 --> 00:20:24,648
Me, too.
472
00:20:24,648 --> 00:20:25,684
Oh, and thanks for
the O-positive, by the way.
473
00:20:25,684 --> 00:20:29,925
So, does this make me
a cowboy, too?
474
00:20:29,925 --> 00:20:32,029
That's not how blood works.
