Great Hang! with Derek Humphrey

On the latest ep of Derek Mansplains It All, I sit down and talk the culture of growing up Korean in beautiful, suburban yet still city-like Staten Island. You'd be surprised at how much it's just like everywhere else! Joon also asks what will become of white children and you can hear us vaping too much!

Joon runs a great show in Staten Island called "The Super Secret Show" and is also a rising comic in the New York scene who has his own podcast: "Just The Gals." Check him out on Instagram: @thejooniverse

We live in a time when the President of the United States, sworn to protect the Constitution, has called people exercising their First Amendment rights "sons of bitches." I have seen many people who have never served who would have the audacity to claim their level of patriotism is on par with someone who has just because they can hoist their fat bodies upon their wobbly knees, stand for a 3 minute song and that makes them "a patriotic American." But what if a former service member agrees with kneeling in protest? Who is really the brave one?

On the latest episode of Derek Mansplains It All, I sit down with comedian Courtney Fearrington who talks about his time as a US Marine, shares insight on what it means to be black in the military and what he likes to pair with Rose wine. The conversation was an intense and nuanced one (full of questionable facts!) but I think needed in today's cultural zeitgeist.

In the studio this week is Melissa Diaz who is a native born New Yorker and standup comic! We talk about being an "urban hick", her years in the Dominican Republic, loving yourself in comedy and about how women comics aren't regarded as people, just as comics. Melissa is one of the top up and coming comics in NYC having recently headlined one of the largest clubs in the city -- the world famous Carolines. Check out the lastest ep "Hump Smash!" on Derek Mansplains It All.

On the latest episode of Derek Mansplains It All, I sit down with the comedian Dekunle. We talk about fake white liberals, growing up in DC and black cultural appropriation. Dekunle is a real cool and funny dude who gives lends his perspective to the world at large. We talk white guilt, he asks about my time in the Navy and how he reads militant black literature to get pumped up creatively. Listen to episode 30 "Remember Beyonce!!!"

On the latest episode of DMIA, I am joined by Wanjiko Eke and we discuss her life as a gay black comic! We talk identity politics, fake liberals and Instagram stories! I consider that my nostalgia for the 80's is painted in rose colored glasses and I might be dumb. Who knows?!

Napoleon Emil is a comic in New York City and, like me, a giant motherfucker. On the latest DMIA we talk Saturday morning cartoons, our former jobs as bouncers and the cultural differences between the South and North. Young dudes typically spend their late teens and early twenties "finding themselves" and Napoleon and I share that quality too. We get into all of that, football practice and talking comedy in on Derek Mansplains It All Ep. 28: "Big People, Little World"

Napoleon is always performing comedy all over New York City and just won Caroline's "March Madness" where he faced off against 63 other comics to win the tournament. Follow Napoleon on instagram at @napoleonemil

Ariel Elias is a comic, writer and podcast host who is an advocate for single payer healthcare (also known as "Obamacare"). Ariel and I do not agree philosophically but we did have a healthy discussion about the pros and cons of single payer medical insurance, talking shit, me being fat and Ariel screwing up phrases. Listen to two non-experts talk about expert stuff! Check out the latest episode of Derek Mansplains It All, Ep.27: "I Am Pro-Abortion" w/Ariel Elias!

Check out Ariel's podcast "Well Behaved", a podcast highlighting the achievements of women in history, on iTunes. Also, check out her comedy on twitter: @ArielSElias

Sopan Deb is a culture reporter for the NY Times, writing about the intersection of culture and politics, among other things. He is an accomplished pianist, graduate of Boston College and up and coming comic as well. Sopan was named as one of the "Top 15 Breakout Media Stars" by Politico for his work with CBS News, his amazing Twitter feed and his previous work with Al-Jazeera and the MLB network.

Before becoming the culture writer for the NYT, Sopan was embedded with the Trump campaign and was arrested live on Fox News. We get into that story as well as my wife hiding peanut butter from me, our love of Star Trek, him being called "Third Rate" by a sitting President and how he got burnt out on covering politics!

On this week's @derekmansplains I kick it and vape with Momoh Pujeh. I hang out with this dude pretty often so I figured we would get into it on a recording. Momoh is a funny, funny dude who has some interesting takes on Kanye West's slavery comments and his perspective on a black man in America.

We talk about our cultural influences, Suge Knight conspiracy theories and how our mother's influenced our musical habits! I am having too much fun recording these at @qedastoria with @crystalballgerz so check out a show there soon! Get into "Derek Mansplains It All" on the latest ep "Black Princess Di" w/Momoh Pujeh (@averagemo)!!!!

I am doing a special 2-part episode where I talk to the El-Salomon's (Eman El Husseini and Jess Salomon) who are married, one being a Kuwait born Muslim and the other being a Canadian person of Jewish descent. It has all the makings of a sitcom!

I take turns in episode 1 talking between both of them individually and then part two is talking with the both of them together. We go over Eman's background, Saddam Hussein's influence on their wedding and Canada's racism. Can you believe it? CANADA CAN BE RACIST!

I really learned a lot about Canada, being a lesbian couple with different family expectations and how to properly say "Gaza." I love this podcast and so will you. Check out "The El-Salomons (pt.1 + pt. 2) of "Derek Mansplains It All" on iTunes, Soundcloud, Googleplay and Stitcher!
