Black Lincoln Collective Podcast

In “Lawyer Letters” | Episode 257 of The Black Lincoln Collective Comedy Podcast, Parker gets the opportunity of a lifetime: six hours in a virtual mock trial where he gets paid to judge strangers, argue about negligence, assign blame, debate damages, eat chicken wings, and slowly convince himself that he is Perry Mason. After surviving legalese, questionable jurors, an $873,000 damages suggestion, and the invention of Parker’s imaginary lawyer credentials, the crew heads into Fredline News. This week brings an orange shark, a serial butt sniffer, Michael Douglas trivia, a Titanic mayonnaise story, rumors of disappearing genitals, an endurance athlete’s unfortunate mid-race bathroom emergency, and a Florida case involving allegations that become increasingly difficult to describe. It’s law, news, bodily functions, bad decisions, and three men who should probably never be selected for the same jury.

In “Doo Doo DLC” | Episode 256, The Black Lincoln Collective opens with the 256th edition of the show, a weak fart attempt, a “can’t do attitude,” and the usual reminder to find the show at americasfavoritepodcast.com, podcast platforms, and anywhere someone might throw a rock at a screen showing their website. The first major segment is a Latino History Month tribute led, very loosely, by Allan. The conversation jumps from Ricky Martin and Menudo to the Menendez brothers, Cardi B’s background, J.Lo, New York Puerto Rican identity, Caribbean confusion, and the crew trying to understand why huge groups of people get lumped together under one label. From there, the show pivots into side hustles. Fred claims he has a list of creative ways to make extra money, which includes stealing things that are “closer to the road than the house,” getting paid by mega churches to fake possession, putting ads on your car, crying at strangers’ weddings, becoming a substitute bee, and explaining food to people while they eat. The episode title lands during the car-wrap discussion. The crew imagines sharpie-ing BLC on the side of a vehicle, someone misreading it as “DLC,” and then immediately turning that into “Doo Doo DLC,” because apparently downloadable content is better when it is worse. The side hustle spiral continues with emotional wedding criers, including Parker inventing a full tragic backstory about being secretly in love with the groom. Then they move into substitute bees, where people allegedly get paid to pollinate plants, and the crew turns it into a full twerking-through-the-garden bit involving Parmesan cheese shakers and doing your part for the avocados. After that, Parker brings up a romance scam involving someone allegedly pretending to be an NFL player online. The crew uses it as a launchpad to talk about fake internet personas, search engines, and how people can manipulate AI by flooding the internet with bad information, like convincing it that Burger King is the best restaurant in New York City. After the break, Parker introduces “scam-spiracies,” starting with Culver’s drive-through. His theory: Culver’s makes the drive-through look less busy by moving people into a paid waiting zone after they order. This leads to a full rant about waiting 12 minutes for three melting ice cream cones in South Carolina heat. The next scam-spiracy is Big Toilet Paper. Parker suggests RFK Jr. is somehow working with toilet paper companies, that every food now “gives you the shits,” that toilet paper scarcity is engineered, and that people panic-buy toilet paper even when the crisis has nothing to do with diarrhea. Fred counters with bidets, showers, newspaper, and the uncomfortable reality that you cannot wipe your ass with a dream or a Bitcoin. The third scam-spiracy is streaming. Parker argues streaming companies are making TV so annoying that people will beg for cable again. He tries to watch football and ends up jumping from app to app, dealing with loading screens and commercials just to change games, while Fred floats mystery loaded TV boxes as a possible solution. The back half also confirms the BLC Vegas trip for February 4 through February 8, 2027, before jumping into an American Airlines story about a woman allegedly stripping naked on a flight from Baltimore to Miami. The crew riffs on airline chaos, flight delays, indecent behavior, “pollinating the plane,” and why news articles always include weirdly specific details while leaving out the one thing everyone actually wants to know. The episode closes with Parker nominating “Shallow” by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper as the ultimate song that starts strong and ends like a pile of garbage, mostly because he thinks the back half is just endless “sha-la-la” repetition. The crew wraps with jokes about awards, bragging, and returning next week for another episode.

In “Richard Butts Loves Big Tents” | Episode 255 of The Black Lincoln Collective Comedy Podcast, the crew celebrates Fred’s 50th birthday aftermath with surprise-party chaos, giant tents, Long Island iced teas, white shorts, Richard Butts, kids playing blackjack, Vegas plans, political arcade games, GTA roleplay, Wolverine, Grand Theft Auto VI, and one MMA fighter who thinks he can beat a chimpanzee. Parker, Fred, and Allan recap Fred’s surprise birthday party, the tents that almost gave away the plan, the bar crawl that went sideways, the all-white post-Labor Day outfit, the blackjack table that stole the party, and the Vegas trip announcement. After the break, the crew dives into video game nostalgia, a White House arcade segment, GTA roleplay cops, corrupt cops, game leaks, Dongs Karate, and the proposed main event of the century: man versus chimp.

In “VD Day” | Episode 254 of The Black Lincoln Collective Comedy Podcast, the crew celebrates “Shiver If Day” with Tupac justice talk, savory detective pitches, Parker getting burgled for his Bluetooth adapter, earbuds, charger, cash, and sacred Aldi quarter, plus a full birthday roast for Fred’s 50th. Parker, Fred, and Allan get into the Tupac case, Keith D. jokes, “Baby Lane” confusion, revenge served with mashed potatoes, John Savory: Ghost Kitchen Detective, car break-ins, stolen tapes, Draper’s missing Braves-game car, a weird robbery story, a nun-on-a-cliff parable, and the USS Abraham Lincoln docking in Thailand after 200 days at sea. After the break, Fred gets roasted by AI, Satan, and Bernie Mac, then the guys talk middle school football, giant 13-year-old linemen, Super Bowl picks, farmers market scams, $10 Peruvian asparagus, sourdough bread, agua fresca, and the ongoing search for honest groceries.

In “Make Room for Dolly” | Episode 253 of The Black Lincoln Collective Comedy Podcast, Parker, Fred, and Allan open with “words,” questionable international logic, Spanish-fly energy, fake accents, and the usual signs that the show has technically begun. The newly updated website gets a quick shoutout before the episode takes a darker turn into celebrity passings, name mispronunciations, and the strange local detail that one of the celebrity deaths discussed happened close to home. The first major section centers on Dolly Parton, who the crew treats with rare and mostly sincere respect. They talk about her as more than a singer: a cultural icon, a Southern legend, a personality who could joke about her own image, and someone who did real good through things like Dollywood and her book-giving program. The guys decide Dolly deserves her own day, joke about making 9/25 Dolly Parton Day because of “9 to 5,” and officially put her into the BLC Hall of Fame. She becomes the first Hall of Famer to get a show holiday, which may be the highest honor this podcast can legally provide. From there, the “deaths come in threes” segment keeps going. The crew talks about Tim Curry, runs through his massive resume from Rocky Horror to Home Alone 2 to Legend, and then spirals into a mini in-memoriam for celebrities and semi-celebrities who did not get enough attention. It becomes a strangely specific roll call of actors, musicians, TV personalities, Sega hardware people, and performers the guys half-remember, fully mispronounce, or unexpectedly care about. After the break, the episode gets lighter and much crunchier with Food News. Fred tries matzo for the first time, hoping for a salty cracker and instead discovering what the crew describes as a giant piece of edible cardboard. The guys compare it to backsplash tile, suggest turning it into “the talking matzo,” debate whether it needs cheese, tea, peanut butter, jelly, jam, or a complete personality transplant, and eventually take a hard stance: BLC is pro-jelly and anti-jam. The food segment then shifts into Coca-Cola controversy, with Parker explaining that some people were angry because Coca-Cola’s customizable bottles allegedly blocked “I love Jesus” while rumors claimed Satan-related phrases were allowed. The guys talk about boycotts, glitches, religious phrases, Coke vs. Pepsi, and whether “I love his shoes” is the workaround America needs. The last stretch goes deep into meat. The crew discusses questionable imported beef, screw worm fears, beef supply problems, fast food suspicion, whether mystery meat could end up in burgers, and the unsettling possibility that nobody wants to tell consumers where certain meat is coming from. Then they pivot to a new everything bagel-seasoned thick-cut bacon, which leads to one clear BLC position: bacon is already good, so stop messing with it. The episode closes with QT food deals, Upside app betrayal, gas station loyalty, expensive hot dogs, pizza-and-drink combos, tariff money jokes, and the realization that somehow Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, matzo, Jesus Coke, screw worms, and bacon all belonged in the same hour. That’s either range or a medical condition. Either way, it’s BLC.
