The hosts discuss upcoming live comedy shows and engage in unfiltered banter before focusing on the historical figure Garrett Morgan.

The conversation also touches on the systemic racism Morgan faced, which forced him to use deception to secure recognition for his work.
Key takeaways 5
Garrett Morgan invented the three-color traffic signal (red, yellow, green) and a respiratory device that became the blueprint for WWI gas masks, yet he is less famous than George Washington Carver.
Morgan faced such severe discrimination that he hired a white man to pose as the inventor at conventions while he posed as the Indian assistant to circumvent racism and sell his inventions.
The hosts argue that diverse societies (including gay people and minorities) are essential for a progressive and healthy civilization, contrasting this with the 'backwards' thinking of the segregated South.
George Washington Carver's fame is attributed more to marketing and social connections (NAACP) than the sheer magnitude of his inventions compared to Morgan's impact on modern infrastructure.
Morgan reinvested his earnings from hair products into his own education, hiring tutors to overcome his limited sixth-grade formal education.
