00:08:01,482 --> 00:08:02,722
I mean, I was a lost soul
179
00:08:02,724 --> 00:08:05,484
before I found this white shirt
and blue pants.
180
00:08:05,486 --> 00:08:08,378
Let's find the outfit
that'll make Naima look at me
181
00:08:08,380 --> 00:08:10,471
the way that Marge looks at you.
182
00:08:10,473 --> 00:08:11,214
Worried?
183
00:08:11,216 --> 00:08:12,640
Blindly in love.
184
00:08:12,642 --> 00:08:14,976
♪ You're so chic ♪
185
00:08:14,978 --> 00:08:16,886

(record scratch)
191
00:08:24,838 --> 00:08:25,895
Who said you could do
192
00:08:25,914 --> 00:08:28,398
a dressing room montage
in my store?
193
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:29,733
If you're not gonna buy
anything,
194
00:08:29,735 --> 00:08:31,584
then get your
yacht-rock-listening corny asses
195
00:08:31,586 --> 00:08:33,178
back to Starbucks.
196
00:08:33,180 --> 00:08:35,329
Oh, come on,
you got to help my friend.
197
00:08:35,331 --> 00:08:36,998
He needs a new look by tonight.
198
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,186
Huh. What's a square like you
doing with an oval like that?
199
00:08:41,188 --> 00:08:44,430
(sighs) I get it,
the buckle's not cool.
200
00:08:44,432 --> 00:08:47,174
Every time I wear it
I get razzed.
201
00:08:47,176 --> 00:08:48,935
Savagely razzed.
202
00:08:48,937 --> 00:08:50,103
Tell you what,
you trade me that buckle,
203
00:08:50,105 --> 00:08:54,366
I'll take all this wrong
and make it right.
204
00:08:56,094 --> 00:08:57,619
CARL:
Naima's worth it.
205
00:08:59,114 --> 00:09:02,932
Now, can you make me look real?
You know, authentic.
206
00:09:02,934 --> 00:09:05,192
Yeah, I got the perfect outfit.

Naima,
this place is amazing!
214
00:09:21,228 --> 00:09:25,379
-When did you open?
-Um, 75 years ago.
215
00:09:25,381 --> 00:09:28,625
My great-grandparents started
out selling gumbo off of a cart.
216
00:09:28,627 --> 00:09:30,794
They gave free samples out
to the kids,
217
00:09:30,796 --> 00:09:33,479
you know, just poured it
right into their cupped hands.
218
00:09:33,481 --> 00:09:37,391
That cart, it became
my favorite table in the house.
219
00:09:37,393 --> 00:09:38,802
Wow, that's a lot of history,
220
00:09:38,804 --> 00:09:42,472
and, uh, ancestors, and, uh...
221
00:09:42,474 --> 00:09:43,656
flavor.
222
00:09:43,658 --> 00:09:45,584
So, tell me about you.
223
00:09:45,586 --> 00:09:47,977
You know, like, what
are you into besides bowling?
224
00:09:47,979 --> 00:09:49,904
CARL: Don't talk about Moe's. Don't talk about Moe's.
225
00:09:49,906 --> 00:09:51,981
-Lenny!
-Who's Lenny?
226
00:09:51,983 --> 00:09:52,649
Ah, just my friend from Moe's.
227
00:09:52,651 --> 00:09:55,093
Oh, that's cool.
228
00:09:55,095 --> 00:09:57,578
I see you're into
the Black Panthers.
229
00:09:57,580 --> 00:09:59,097
Oh, yeah. Totally.
Wakanda Forever.
230
00:09:59,099 --> 00:10:03,935
No, Huey P. Newton,
the guy that's on your shirt.
231
00:10:03,937 --> 00:10:05,678
Oh, right. Him.
232
00:10:05,680 --> 00:10:08,181
My man, Old Huey P.
233
00:10:08,183 --> 00:10:11,443
1942 to 1989.
Early life and education...
234
00:10:11,445 --> 00:10:14,428
(chuckles) Are you googling him
under the table?
235
00:10:14,430 --> 00:10:18,341
No, I was, uh,
just looking at this dope kale.
236
00:10:18,343 --> 00:10:19,951
Those are collard greens.
237
00:10:19,953 --> 00:10:22,846
Right.
I love all the urban veggies.
238
00:10:22,848 --> 00:10:23,938
Urban veggies?
239
00:10:23,957 --> 00:10:26,958
Okay. You embarrassing
yourself right now.
240
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:28,868
Look, I'm sorry.
241
00:10:28,870 --> 00:10:29,519
I'm new to all this.
242
00:10:29,537 --> 00:10:31,871
New to being Black?
243
00:10:31,873 --> 00:10:33,614
Yes! I mean, no.
244
00:10:33,616 --> 00:10:36,784
I mean, I'm just trying
to be more convincing at it.
245
00:10:36,786 --> 00:10:40,287
I got the Denzel, I'm wearing
second-hand leather underwear,
246
00:10:40,289 --> 00:10:42,532
and I'm doused
in Michael Jordan cologne
247
00:10:42,534 --> 00:10:44,959
and Michael B. Jordan
aftershave.
248
00:10:44,961 --> 00:10:48,221
Ooh, wow. Okay, there's
a lot to unpack there.
249
00:10:48,223 --> 00:10:51,483
Look, I liked the guy
that I met at the bowling alley,
250
00:10:51,485 --> 00:10:54,093
and I wanted to get
to know him better,
251
00:10:54,095 --> 00:10:56,562
but I don't see
how that's gonna happen
252
00:10:56,564 --> 00:10:58,806
'cause you don't know you.
253
00:10:59,734 --> 00:11:03,477
So take my advice--
it's time to figure that out.
254
00:11:03,479 --> 00:11:07,499
I'll have them wrap up
your oxtails to go.
255
00:11:07,501 --> 00:11:09,250
I was eating what?
256
00:11:10,061 --> 00:11:12,295
(country music playing)
257
00:11:25,744 --> 00:11:26,834
(sighs)
258
00:11:27,595 --> 00:11:28,928
Back early, eh?
You know what they say,
259
00:11:28,930 --> 00:11:33,099
"The shorter the date,
the more it went great."
260
00:11:33,101 --> 00:11:35,360
No! It was terrible.
261
00:11:35,362 --> 00:11:38,438
All she wanted to know about
was the real me.
262
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,348
You mean self-reflection?
Who does that?
263
00:11:41,350 --> 00:11:43,350
Yeah, whoa, whoa, whoa,
trust the sign.
264
00:11:43,352 --> 00:11:44,594
Mm-hmm.
265
00:11:44,596 --> 00:11:46,429
I think I know
what she was getting at, but...
266
00:11:46,431 --> 00:11:48,114
See, it's got to do with...
267
00:11:48,116 --> 00:11:49,040
Nah, never mind.
268
00:11:49,042 --> 00:11:51,025
You guys wouldn't understand.
269
00:11:51,027 --> 00:11:52,526
Sure we would.
We're your best friends.
270
00:11:52,528 --> 00:11:55,696
We pee in the same trough
together.
271
00:11:55,698 --> 00:11:57,457
We've melted so much ice.
272
00:11:57,459 --> 00:12:00,944
Just say what you need to say,
eh? We got this.
273
00:12:00,946 --> 00:12:02,762
I'm confused about
my racial identity!
274
00:12:04,449 --> 00:12:06,616
(overlapping nervous mumbling)
275
00:12:06,618 --> 00:12:08,134
(slurping nervously)
276
00:12:09,062 --> 00:12:12,397
Hey, I know avoidance slurps
when I hear 'em.
277
00:12:12,399 --> 00:12:14,457
(slurping)
278
00:12:14,459 --> 00:12:16,626
No, we're perfectly comfortable
talking about...
279
00:12:16,628 --> 00:12:17,736
(whispers):
race.
280
00:12:17,738 --> 00:12:18,719
I mean, I can talk about
281
00:12:18,721 --> 00:12:20,405
(whispers):
race...
282
00:12:20,407 --> 00:12:21,147
(normal volume):
...all day.
283
00:12:21,149 --> 00:12:22,298
Oh, me, personally,
284
00:12:22,300 --> 00:12:23,800
I don't even see...
(whispers): color.
285
00:12:23,802 --> 00:12:27,245
Look, being adopted and raised
by white folks from Iceland,
286
00:12:27,247 --> 00:12:29,155
I've always felt
like an outsider--
287
00:12:29,157 --> 00:12:30,823
not Icelandic enough,
not Black enough.
288
00:12:30,825 --> 00:12:33,826
I mean, hey, sure,
I'm barfly enough,
289
00:12:33,828 --> 00:12:35,328
but that's not enough.
290
00:12:35,330 --> 00:12:38,998
Hey, barflies have
a rich and storied-- (belches)
291
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:40,467
I don't know anything
about my roots!
292
00:12:40,469 --> 00:12:44,429
That stupid old rodeo
belt buckle was the only thing
293
00:12:44,431 --> 00:12:46,747
I ever got
from my birth parents.
294
00:12:46,749 --> 00:12:48,658
-(sighs)
-The buckle?
295
00:12:48,660 --> 00:12:50,251
But you gave that away.
296
00:12:50,253 --> 00:12:52,328
I know!
It-it was a panic swap!
297
00:12:52,330 --> 00:12:55,756
I thought I could get rid of
this sucky feeling of emptiness,
298
00:12:55,758 --> 00:12:57,758
but now it's worse than ever.
299
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,186
If I'm ever going to be
with someone as great as Naima,
300
00:13:00,188 --> 00:13:02,280
then I need to find out
who I am.
301
00:13:02,282 --> 00:13:03,114
And for the first time
in my life,
302
00:13:03,116 --> 00:13:06,493
the answer isn't in this bar.
303
00:13:09,230 --> 00:13:11,956
(slurping nervously)
304
00:13:11,958 --> 00:13:13,124
(slurping continues)
305
00:13:13,126 --> 00:13:15,585
-(Barney belches) -(slurping continues)
306
00:13:20,025 --> 00:13:22,358
Carl's never been away
from Moe's this long.
307
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:23,635
He missed
Public Domain Karaoke Night.
308
00:13:23,637 --> 00:13:26,805
How could I sing
"Toot, Toot, Tootsie, Goodbye!"
309
00:13:26,807 --> 00:13:28,139
without my duet partner?
310
00:13:28,141 --> 00:13:32,477
Well, Carl did open up to you
about some big issues.
311
00:13:32,479 --> 00:13:33,794
Just his identity.
312
00:13:33,796 --> 00:13:36,055
My book club book says
it's important to look at
313
00:13:36,057 --> 00:13:37,965
the discomfort you felt
as an opportunity
314
00:13:37,967 --> 00:13:42,395
to "explore your unacknowledged
privilege."
315
00:13:42,397 --> 00:13:43,396
Oh, buzz words.
316
00:13:43,398 --> 00:13:45,731
Have you even called him?
317
00:13:45,733 --> 00:13:47,158
What am I supposed to say?
318
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,053
Let's start with
what you're not supposed to say.
319
00:13:50,055 --> 00:13:52,055
-"My feelings matter, too."
-Said that.
320
00:13:52,057 --> 00:13:53,222
-"Slavery was a long time ago."
-Thought that.
321
00:13:53,391 --> 00:13:56,242
-"But I love Eddie Murphy."
-Lenny tweeted that.
322
00:13:56,244 --> 00:13:58,152
I just want things
to be normal again.
323
00:13:58,154 --> 00:14:00,396
Oh, that's on the list.
324
00:14:00,398 --> 00:14:02,156
Doesn't the book have
any suggestions
325
00:14:02,158 --> 00:14:03,583
for what I should do?
326
00:14:03,585 --> 00:14:05,735
Hmm. Not to gesture,
not to quote,
327
00:14:05,737 --> 00:14:09,163
not to laugh too hard at,
not to think, not to wear,
328
00:14:09,165 --> 00:14:11,724
not to wear on Halloween,
not to sing along to in the car.
329
00:14:13,761 --> 00:14:16,429
Look, Homer. I know you.
330
00:14:16,431 --> 00:14:18,356
You're never going to say
the right thing,
331
00:14:18,358 --> 00:14:21,359
but that doesn't mean
you should stop trying.
332
00:14:31,262 --> 00:14:33,262
Lenny, are you sure you're okay
333
00:14:33,264 --> 00:14:34,931
with selling
your vintage suspenders
334
00:14:34,933 --> 00:14:36,690
to buy back Carl's buckle?
335
00:14:36,692 --> 00:14:37,876
Well, the doctor says
I should take a break
336
00:14:38,044 --> 00:14:41,028
because of the shoulder grooves
and nipple abrasions.
337
00:14:41,030 --> 00:14:43,364
You guys had
the same idea as me.
338
00:14:43,366 --> 00:14:46,718
You're the best friends a guy
with no sense of self can have!
339
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,961
We're gonna get
that buckle back.
340
00:14:48,963 --> 00:14:50,204
I already sold that buckle.
341
00:14:50,206 --> 00:14:51,614
Aw. Who bought it?
342
00:14:51,616 --> 00:14:54,117
I don't know.
Some white guy who talks funny.
343
00:14:54,119 --> 00:14:57,787
Oh, that could be any of
the weirdos in this town.
344
00:14:57,789 --> 00:14:59,063
-Crinkle me kilt!
-Avast!
345
00:14:59,065 --> 00:15:01,290
Zounds, Horatio.
346
00:15:01,292 --> 00:15:03,960
Damn,
this place gentrified fast.
347
00:15:03,962 --> 00:15:05,403
Look, I don't know
who bought your buckle.
348
00:15:05,405 --> 00:15:06,629
All I know is
I call him the Rich Texan
349
00:15:06,631 --> 00:15:09,799
on account of him being
a rich Texan.
350
00:15:09,801 --> 00:15:12,860
I love buckles. Yeehaw!
351
00:15:12,862 --> 00:15:15,638
-(bullet ricocheting)
-(exclaiming)
352
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:19,158
While that's doing its thing,
let's talk.
353
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,661
My buckle shows
a cowboy wrestling a bull
354
00:15:21,663 --> 00:15:23,755
and kind of... kissing it?
355
00:15:23,757 --> 00:15:26,240
Oh, that one?
Ain't no smooch.
356
00:15:26,242 --> 00:15:28,742
He's biting its lip.
Bulldogging.
357
00:15:28,744 --> 00:15:30,244
I already flipped it.
358
00:15:30,246 --> 00:15:31,412
Aw! You sold it?
359
00:15:31,414 --> 00:15:35,749
To a pal of mine
who's a real buckle-head.
360
00:15:35,751 --> 00:15:37,677
He said it had
a heapin' helpin'
361
00:15:37,679 --> 00:15:39,604
of historical heritage.
362
00:15:39,606 --> 00:15:42,331
Do you think the guy who bought
it could help me find my roots?
363
00:15:42,333 --> 00:15:45,193
Hmm. Well, it's a long shot.
364
00:15:46,762 --> 00:15:50,114
Fellas, meet the host of
Finding Your Roots,
365
00:15:50,116 --> 00:15:52,675
Dr. Henry Louis Gates, Jr.
366
00:15:52,677 --> 00:15:55,453
Dr. Gates,
you're a national treasure.
367
00:15:55,455 --> 00:15:58,105
Please, at best
I'm a regional treasure.
368
00:15:58,107 --> 00:16:01,108
That buckle is a stunning piece
of American history.
369
00:16:01,110 --> 00:16:03,461
What's your connection to it?
370
00:16:03,463 --> 00:16:05,037
Well, all I know is that
after my parents died,
371
00:16:05,039 --> 00:16:07,206
it was in my bassinet
when I was dropped off
372
00:16:07,208 --> 00:16:08,282
at the orphanage.
373
00:16:08,468 --> 00:16:11,452
Other than that,
my heritage is a blank slate.
374
00:16:11,454 --> 00:16:14,197
Solving this kind of
life-defining, soul-affirming
375
00:16:14,199 --> 00:16:16,957
historical riddle is the reason
I created this show.
376
00:16:16,959 --> 00:16:19,368
Tell my next guest
he's bumped.
377
00:16:19,370 --> 00:16:22,555
Ah, it's probably for the best.
378
00:16:22,557 --> 00:16:24,056
ANNOUNCER: Finding Your Roots.
379
00:16:24,058 --> 00:16:25,875
With Dr. Henry Louis Gates, Jr.
380
00:16:25,877 --> 00:16:28,987
Carl, when you look at
this buckle, what do you feel?
381
00:16:28,989 --> 00:16:31,656
I just want to know...
what gives?
382
00:16:31,658 --> 00:16:33,899
Today, you'll hear
the story that answers
383
00:16:33,901 --> 00:16:37,161
that very question:
"what gives?"
384
00:16:38,740 --> 00:16:41,833
What got you started
on this journey of discovery?
385
00:16:41,835 --> 00:16:44,151
An amazing woman I met.
386
00:16:44,153 --> 00:16:46,487
Hey, the most awkward guy
I ever dated is on TV.
387
00:16:46,489 --> 00:16:49,582
Ooh, come on,
mention the restaurant.
388
00:16:49,584 --> 00:16:51,567
I felt like such a fool
389
00:16:51,569 --> 00:16:54,237
as I left with my takeout bag from SoulHouse.
390
00:16:54,239 --> 00:16:56,830
-(cheers)
-He said it! Ooh, he said it.
391
00:16:56,832 --> 00:16:58,407
Let me introduce you to Ellis.
392
00:16:58,409 --> 00:17:01,001
Ellis! I bet I'm related to him.
393
00:17:01,003 --> 00:17:02,836
I wasn't supposed
to say that yet, was I?
394
00:17:02,838 --> 00:17:04,671
Just act surprised later.
395
00:17:04,673 --> 00:17:05,931
Turn the page.
396
00:17:05,933 --> 00:17:08,842
From this pre-Civil War
document, we know that
397
00:17:08,844 --> 00:17:11,604
your fourth great-grandfather was born into slavery
398
00:17:11,606 --> 00:17:13,756
on a ranch in Texas.
399
00:17:13,758 --> 00:17:17,684
On what would become the first Juneteenth in 1865,
400
00:17:17,686 --> 00:17:20,112
Ellis got word that the Emancipation Proclamation
401
00:17:20,114 --> 00:17:21,188
had freed the slaves
402
00:17:21,190 --> 00:17:23,857
two years earlier.
403
00:17:23,859 --> 00:17:25,601
Angry and determined,
404
00:17:25,603 --> 00:17:27,436
he leapt onto the wildest stallion on the ranch
405
00:17:27,438 --> 00:17:28,695
and held on for dear life.
406
00:17:28,697 --> 00:17:31,865
Three days later, and two states over,
407
00:17:31,867 --> 00:17:33,442
that stallion was broken.
408
00:17:33,444 --> 00:17:35,795
But Ellis, who'd been born a slave,
409
00:17:35,797 --> 00:17:37,221
was not only free,
410
00:17:37,223 --> 00:17:39,965
now he was a cowboy.
411
00:17:39,967 --> 00:17:41,951
Really?
I come from cowboys?
412
00:17:41,953 --> 00:17:46,455
DR. GATES: My friend, you come from a long line of cowboys,
413
00:17:46,457 --> 00:17:49,141
right up to Wyatt, your father.
414
00:17:49,143 --> 00:17:50,976
CARL: That's my dad.
415
00:17:50,978 --> 00:17:54,906
And here he is
at the Okmulgee Oklahoma Rodeo.
416
00:17:54,908 --> 00:17:57,033
-(bull grunting)
-(spectators cheering)
417
00:17:58,136 --> 00:18:01,487
20 seconds! Unbelievable ride!
418
00:18:01,489 --> 00:18:03,564
What are you gonna do with your grand prize buckle?
419
00:18:03,566 --> 00:18:07,418
Use it to hold up my Wranglers. (chuckles)
420
00:18:07,420 --> 00:18:10,404
But then I'm going to pass it on to my kin.
421
00:18:10,406 --> 00:18:13,257
Folks don't always see us as cowboys,
422
00:18:13,259 --> 00:18:16,594
but when my boy wears this blue-ribbon belly-badge,
423
00:18:16,596 --> 00:18:20,264
he'll know bull riding's in his blood.
424
00:18:20,266 --> 00:18:23,226
I finally know who I am.
425
00:18:28,924 --> 00:18:30,757
I'm a Black cowboy.
426
00:18:30,759 --> 00:18:31,925
Uh, that's great, Carl,
427
00:18:32,186 --> 00:18:35,596
but does that mean you're
qualified to be doing this?
428
00:18:35,598 --> 00:18:37,431
(bull snorts)
429
00:18:37,433 --> 00:18:39,951
Yeah, what the hell
are you doing?
430
00:18:39,953 --> 00:18:41,435
What I was born to do.
431
00:18:41,437 --> 00:18:44,013
Get killed by
a 2,000-pound super cow?
432
00:18:44,015 --> 00:18:46,866
Guys, don't worry,
I got the buckle.
433
00:18:46,868 --> 00:18:48,351
Uh...
434
00:18:48,353 --> 00:18:50,777
Doctor,
can't you do something?
435
00:18:50,779 --> 00:18:52,446
Sorry, I see this a lot.
436
00:18:52,448 --> 00:18:55,299
Once, I had to pull Laurence
Fishburne out of a jet cockpit
437
00:18:55,301 --> 00:18:58,160
after he found out
his great-uncle was
438
00:18:58,162 --> 00:19:00,029
a Tuskegee Airman.
439
00:19:00,031 --> 00:19:02,031
Naima, you came!
440
00:19:02,033 --> 00:19:04,625
Yeah,
I got your suicidal Evite.
441
00:19:04,627 --> 00:19:06,051
(bull snorting)
442
00:19:06,053 --> 00:19:07,961
Carl, don't do this.
443
00:19:07,963 --> 00:19:09,963
You don't need
to prove anything to me.
444
00:19:09,965 --> 00:19:12,708
No, I need to prove it
to myself.
445
00:19:12,710 --> 00:19:15,044
Bull riding is in my blood.
446
00:19:15,046 --> 00:19:16,562
(groans) That is not
how blood works!
447
00:19:16,564 --> 00:19:19,824
Now, get off of that monster
before I come over there.

453
00:19:34,156 --> 00:19:35,898

00:19:35,900 --> 00:19:38,158

455
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,994
(chuckles):
I did it!
456
00:19:40,996 --> 00:19:44,407
-I'm a cowboy!
-That was crazy.
457
00:19:44,409 --> 00:19:48,093
Carl, you held on
for three whole seconds.
458
00:19:48,095 --> 00:19:51,022

00:19:52,358 --> 00:19:54,433
Uh, is it supposed to do that?
461
00:19:54,435 --> 00:19:55,860
Don't worry, I'll fix that.
462
00:19:55,862 --> 00:19:59,030
My great-great-grandfather was
a doctor in the Civil War.
463
00:19:59,032 --> 00:20:00,847
Get the hell out of here.
464
00:20:00,849 --> 00:20:03,592
One in four cowboys who settled
the Old West was Black.
465
00:20:03,594 --> 00:20:05,852
(chuckles) Oh,
and you know the Lone Ranger?
466
00:20:05,854 --> 00:20:08,764
No, I'm a young person.
467
00:20:08,766 --> 00:20:11,876
Well, he was based on
a real guy, Lawman Bass Reeves.
468
00:20:11,878 --> 00:20:15,362
Maybe it's that you took my
advice and explored your past,
469
00:20:15,364 --> 00:20:18,365
or maybe I just like a man
who does what I tell him,
470
00:20:18,367 --> 00:20:21,702
but I feel very close to you
right now.
471
00:20:21,704 --> 00:20:23,462
Me, too.
472
00:20:23,464 --> 00:20:24,555
Oh, and thanks for
the O-positive, by the way.
473
00:20:24,557 --> 00:20:28,875
So, does this make me
a cowboy, too?
474
00:20:28,877 --> 00:20:30,803
That's not how blood works.
