They're the liberal rednecks they like cornbread, but sex.
They care way too much, but don't give a fun.
They're the liberal rednecks that makes some people upset,
but they got three big old dicks that you can suck.
I think it's a scratch.
Okay.
Ears are blading.
Welcome back to Well, Red, everybody.
That means a black woman's talking about.
you, by the way. I think when they're burning, it's just a regular person is talking about you,
but if they're bleeding, it means a black woman is righteously going in on you somewhere.
Reading you for filth, isn't that a thing they say?
Reading two filth, or getting red two filth or red for filth, one of those is a, is that a gay thing or a black thing or both?
There's a lot of overlap with those two situations.
It's overlapped or gay's just taking it.
Yeah, gays really become black women sometimes.
And I don't know.
I've seen people try to claim that it's, you know, sometimes the inverse.
I don't know.
That black women act like gay dudes?
That some of the slang and stuff, you know, it originates with the gays.
Right.
I've only ever seen that myself, it originates from the black gays.
right because i never seen us get credit for any good slang i'm not saying i'm mad about that i've just
never seen it yeah with like because if you think about it like with the phrase like here's the
t gun to my head i couldn't answer whether a gay started that or a black woman started that because it
sounds like it could easily be both and i would bring my money that it was a black man that's where
i would black man black gay man right yeah or identify you understand what you understand
whatever yeah okay someone on the alphabet spectrum who happens i mean i mean we've come up with
some pretty good ones you just ain't supposed to say them you know what i mean like there's this
there's this comic nick i can't remember he's i knew him from new york acquaintances he had this
go viral joe buddn was talking about it yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah the one where he's talking about
y'all actually took our word yeah we're talking about how we always get accused of still in your culture
and that's true but you guys also take our best stuff the n-word that one word that one
was out.
Yeah.
It was.
It was.
And Joe Bunn went.
God damn.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
For sure.
Boys,
hey,
I know we always plug at the end,
but I just got to tell you how pumped I am for this weekend.
I just got my place to stay in Nashville,
so it's officially real.
And this weekend,
come see us starting.
If you're listening to this,
as it comes out on Wednesday,
we'll be at Zanis tomorrow through Saturday.
That is December,
the 18th through the 20th, correct?
Yep. Come see us.
Late show is sold out.
Still have tickets available, I think, right?
The late shows on Friday and Friday and Thursday has tickets.
I think, no, Thursday sold out, didn't it?
Thursday sold out.
Thursday sold out.
I think they opened up some tickets, boys.
I think that they were all showing sold out but one,
and now only one show and sold out.
I think it's because they finalized our guest list.
And I think they released like six tickets per show.
I was about to say for the first year ever,
I didn't turn in a single comp.
I had less too.
It wouldn't surprise me if they hold more for us
than they do for most comics because of years past.
And then this year we didn't use that many.
So yeah,
that might have freed up, you know,
15-ish, 15 or so tickets for each of the shows.
Either way.
Get on it, bitch.
Act now.
Get them while they're hot.
I'm pumped, yeah.
I'm very pumped to answer your question.
I'm super pumped.
I'm super pumped.
Did you ever talk to you about the Silurian hypothesis?
Does this have to do with aliens?
Mm-mm.
Nah, no.
I mean, maybe, who knows?
I would say probably.
So lizard people are right, but not the ones you're thinking of.
Not the Jewish anti-Semitic.
lizard i wasn't thinking of that until you said it but then now yeah well again as we've talked about
on here before most of my life until like five years ago i never associated that with jewish stuff
at all until i found out it's like no that originated as an anti-jew thing but it's like if
everything does especially in the world of conspiracy theories turns out i just used to use that
for rich people and then my rich people slur got taken away but what are you going to do anyway
uh ancient lizard people that basically
the idea that if there was, it's not even saying that there was, but pointing out that if
there was an advanced civilization of presumably lizard people in between, you know, the
dinosaurs and us somewhere along the way, millions of years ago, that we would, we wouldn't know
and we'd have almost zero way of knowing now today.
Wait, why wouldn't we know?
because over those great
it would leave it that covering up their tracks
though well now
why would they do that
I don't know
lizards
why would they do anything
right
well these are smart lizards
yeah
well you don't know I'm saying they're so advanced
I'm also an advanced
I'm just saying if I'm just saying
a bird culture
that they have to hide from also
and there's a lizard people
bird people who are happening
so they live in hiding
observed us
if ants observed us
there'd be a lot of shit
that we do
that is so commonplace
for us but ants
would be like
why the fuck do they do that
so we can't comprehend
why they would do
the things that they do
because to them
we're the ants
you know
right
if an aunt saw me
wiping my ass
he'd be like
why the fuck is it
because you don't wipe
your ass
you know what I mean
a lizard person
wiping their ass
I'd be like
oh to get the shit off
yeah right
right
because over those
great great expanses of
time on that like geologic scale everything gets basically ground to dust and covered up if
you're talking about millions of years so fossils the latter right exactly see so this is what the
people ask a lot of questions they're like well we know dinosaurs didn't even have an advanced
civilization and we know that they it's the great joe Zimmerman it's like yeah they've never
found the bears bones it's like yeah but they have found bears
Well, also the way he phrased it is, well, I have no idea if that's true, but you know what we have found, bears.
Yeah, because his buddy, Dave is a bigfoot enthusiast and he was like, every Dave is.
Every day.
Right, yeah, but he's like, you know, people are like, how come we, how come we never found, how come we've never found Sasquatch remains?
And one of their arguments is, you know, we've never found bear remains.
And then Joe's like, yeah, but we have found bears.
So, but so fossils, right?
The dinosaur, they was so, this whole planet was just lousy with fucking dinosaurs, right?
I see.
I think I know it's.
For millions of years.
Right.
And then we have, we have, what, 700 fossils?
I don't, I don't have any fucking fossils.
Well, yeah, they add dinosaurs.
I mean, like T-Rex.
became a cultural phenomenon
and then like
we found out there was
bigger versions but it was too late to make
like I kind of feel bad I don't know what they're called
I don't know their name. Megalon. Megadonon.
People are doing it harder than T-Rex.
Underground dinosaurs
people don't even know about, not mainstream.
It is a short chord.
And it's like, to your point.
Stegi-a-s-Stegi. That's one I was thinking of.
Steggy.
Oh, Steggis.
Steggis.
Steggars is bigger than T-Rex.
I'm talking about a T-Rex-like.
That's bigger.
The jaws and all that.
Gigantosaurus or something.
Sometimes they have very like sort of on the nose names and other times it's...
Okay, so I'm rocking with that.
But fossil, a very perfect set of circumstances has to happen for a fossil.
It's not just a dinosaur died and then we found it later.
Like it has to perfectly occur in order to be fossilized.
It's one in a million, but dinosaurs were here for so many.
So long, there were so many of them that we still have plenty, even though it's a one and a million shot.
This alleged group was like a smaller...
Short-lived.
Just like we have not been here that long, right, like compared to dinosaurs, right?
So if they were like us and also advanced, I mean, what's the old thing they said?
Like, if the entirety of humanity was crunched into a 24-hour window frame, humans wouldn't show up until 1159 and 59 seconds till midnight.
Yeah, it's accurate because we're going to blow the planet up and that will be.
Yeah, the midnight, right, doomsday clock or stuff.
We've just been that.
I mean this so sincerely, but it isn't going to sound funny because of who I am, but why should I give a shit?
Yeah, I don't know.
Why do they give a shit?
You don't think you don't have fun thinking about stuff?
Sure, sure, sure, but what I want to know in the conspiracy world, do they draw any, like, and if we did know about their ways, we would understand, like, do you understand what I'm saying?
are there is it anything other than this is cool for them because most conspiracy theories end up
with like and this is why we have cancer you know what i mean right right right like is there
any attachment you know what i mean like they build a spaceship we got to go find it or
atlantis is real or anything like that uh no i think they just it's um it's from a paper
by an astrophysicist uh two astrophysicists of 2018 where they just was like
Hey, well, y'all think about this, wouldn't this be wild?
Pretty much, I mean, that's pretty much all it is.
Because they just pointed out, like, because of, since fossilization is very rare and, you know, there have been, dinosaurs is so goddamn old and all that old shit is so old that there has been, because here's an argument people make, oil, right, fuel and stuff like that, there's been enough of that.
carbon to fuel like an advanced civilization like an industrial civilization for 350 million years already so they could have had like sources of fuel but other people say it's like right but we we're draining those resources and like they weren't already somewhat drained do you know what I mean it's not not the ones that we found there might be other ones like other you know deposits and shit that we haven't tap maybe we find and you tap there used to be oil
oil here, but it seems to be
gone. That would be wild, but that
has not happened yet. Other
people say, like, mining
for resources, like mountains
be old as fuck, obviously.
So old. And that
we've also never found, like, ancient
mines, mine shafts
or anything like that, that, you know,
that were there already or that type
of thing, things that would survive.
Because any kind, all of our sky, all of New York City,
all of Manhattan and everything.
I don't know how long it would take, but
it'd be gone.
Yeah.
I mean, just tens of thousands of years, let alone millions.
Like maybe not even that long.
Maybe just three, four thousand years.
Oh, dude.
Yeah.
You ever have like a old...
Gone.
You go into a house where an old lady died like 10 years ago and just no one's been in there
for a minute and that motherfucker's already starting to go.
You know what I mean?
Like, it's crazy.
Yeah, she'll be almost completely gone.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Uh-huh.
Uh, right.
So there was also this thing that we found that initially when they found it,
people started being like, that's it.
That's the Seleurians or whatever.
And it's called the...
It's supposed to just slur.
I know.
I was thinking about that.
It's pretty good.
Paleocene Eocene Thermal Maximum.
That's what it's called, the P-E-T-M.
Okay.
A geologically brief time interval characterized by an average
global temperature shift of between 9 and 14 degrees and a sudden massive output of carbon
into the ocean and atmosphere so they blew up a bomb so well 55 million years ago out of nowhere
the temperature rises and all this carbon gets put into the atmosphere and so you know
I thought the leading theory on that was super volcano erupted right and then I mean it probably was
that it probably was not lizard people building spaceships but not manmade but being made
catastrophe, like us doing nukes.
Yeah, just, right.
Just pointing at it and being like, hey, you know, what if?
We don't know.
Could have been there.
Did you know that scientifically the Yellowstone has been, is like long overdue for all
them geysers and volcanoes underground to, like long overdue to explode.
And if it does, this is what I heard, if it do, like the, like the people I've heard.
that don't get covered in lava will be engulfed in smoke.
Could be wrong.
Bro, the Midwest, everybody's dead.
If that thing blows, it's over.
I mean, I don't just mean America.
Like, I mean, the Chinese resourceful folk that they are,
they might maybe, could be in the air.
They could maybe survive like a nuclear winter because that's what would happen.
But America gone.
This whole hemisphere gone if that motherfucker blows up.
Is that a tunnel, Joe, or just because they're on the other side?
of the world.
They can fly.
Why would they be in the air?
They can fly.
They do that's running up.
That documentary crouching tiger,
hitting dragon.
I was talking to you,
Trey.
Why would they survive?
They probably wouldn't.
I'm just saying maybe because they,
well,
they'd have to go into bunkers and shit like that at least for a little while because
and they can fit into them better.
That's a wild statement in 2020.
What?
I'm just fucking with you.
Me?
Yeah.
Why?
Why?
Why?
Well, anybody, they're just on the opposite side of the planet, is why I said that.
I said, I don't understand.
Or because they're tunnel people.
And you said resourceful.
So I was like, well.
That's tunnel people.
They are resource.
They are.
And you can fit more of them into a bunker than you can fat Americans.
You know what I mean?
It's so tempting to.
Anyway, um, do an accent.
Do you think, so I've read some of those.
You'll do it in private just to get it out of your system before you have to go talk to people?
It's not a big thing for me because I'm not great at them.
So it only comes up in a situation like this where I think the line would hit.
Like the line is what I want to get off more than anything, but you've got to do the accent with the line.
But other than that, like, no, it's not a big thing for me.
So that's just what I thought.
I think people like to say that just because it sounds wild as hell.
But it's not really.
Especially geologic.
Well, it's a real thing.
The Yellowstone Super Volcano and all that is a real thing.
but especially geologically speaking, it's not at all overdue.
Apparently,
that's good to know.
Average interval between eruptions is, we think, 725,000 years,
and the most recent eruption was around 100,000 years ago.
So that's not.
How long before it goes from being overdue to, I guess this one was a dud,
you know what I mean?
I'll be good.
I don't know.
I don't know how they decide that.
About both those things.
and it's something I kind of
I want to talk you about anyway.
We've touched on it.
What Corey read about,
I've read about it before too,
was positive by scientists
and is within the realm of possibility, right?
Yeah, and then like, you know,
the science community is like,
yeah, well, I mean, it could,
but it's actually not going to be overdue
until 725 and blah, blah, blah.
And then the thing you were talking about
was positive by astrophysicists.
Is that what you said?
Yeah, the earlier thing, yeah.
Yes.
How much of that is what I call the WWEification of corporate or whatever.
Like, okay, here's a perfect example in our world.
I think that for what he does, Andrew Schultz is talented.
Yeah, he's the biggest comedians of our generation.
Yeah.
And no one talks about his stand-up comedy.
Right.
And he knows this.
Like, he talks about it.
I think the smartest thing he ever did was that Netflix thing,
that series of Netflix things he did during the pandemic.
And one of the things he talked about,
he had its comparison of Trump and Takashi 6-9,
who were in the media at the same time as each other.
And he said, they understand that in modern,
the modern West, clout is currency.
For sure.
And that sounded like something Eric Bischoff would have said
if he was still paying attention to, like it was such.
Yeah, he did say that.
Controversy equals cash.
I'm wondering if, like, these scientists, these astrophysicists, like, work at, I don't want to disparage any university, but they're not at Harvard, right?
They're not getting big grants.
They're trying to make a splash.
Academia is overrun and overwrought with too many people.
So they got to make a name for themselves.
One of my best friends teaches at Harvard and has been wanting to move back to the South and can't find a job that suits him where they'll hire him.
Because, like, there's other people who taught it.
you understand what I'm saying like he's competing with the same so my point being like how much of that is just like sure it's within the realm of possibility but all that's happening is here is two guys who can't get anything published anything decent yeah this is a wild thing in an attention economy yeah yeah right right right well that makes sense it it don't not make sense but dude scientists have been on some wild shit for a long fucking time that's we forget the lady who jacked off the dolphin until it killed itself a hey a that was in like the 70s
I thought we were clapping for it is.
Oh, yeah.
And like...
I hear you, but that was the CIA telling him to do that.
Jacking the Dolphins off, yeah.
Yeah, but scientists,
scientists do, they do wild shit, too.
I agree, and I'm not trying to act like that's new.
I just feel like the attention economy is infiltrating everything.
I brought up comedy first as like,
my point with Schultz being,
this dude gets attention for everything but stand-up comedy,
but he's known as a stand-up comic.
I just feel like it's definitely happens in politics.
I mean, Trump is the perfect example.
He wasn't a fucking politician.
And a W.W.E. Hall of Fame.
The attention economy is, it's everywhere, even academia.
That's my stance.
I don't care if you believe it.
I mean, yeah, dude, I follow a paleontologist.
Do be that way.
I follow a paleontologist right now who.
That's a wild sentence.
Go ahead, though.
Yeah, but you're about to understand exactly why.
I'm scrolling through my Instagram feed one day, and I see this.
This particular paleontology.
has titties.
Yeah, and I mean, good.
Like, she's fucking stacked, boy.
But, like, it's not, but listen to me.
She's not, like, professionally dressed, and I'm just like, oh, look at it.
Like, she's in a bikini next to a dinosaur.
Bro, you got me.
You know what I mean?
So I get on there.
And at first, I'm like, okay, well, this is just a really hot woman who's into dinosaurs.
No, turns out she was a paleontologist.
She worked at this very prestigious, whatever, and she kept getting sexually harassed.
because apparently, you know, as you can imagine,
that is a male-dominated field or whatever,
and if you're an attractive woman,
they just think, like, well, she wouldn't have worn that dress
if she didn't want me to blah, blah, blah.
The dinosaur nerds don't know how to act around a woman.
Woman, right.
So anyways, she was like, well, fuck this.
I'm not going back into it.
I'm going to use that to my advantage,
and I'm going to get on Instagram looking all hot
and talking about dinosaurs and shit.
And I mean, hey, got me, because she also has OnlyFans.
I fucking subscribe.
It's awesome because, you know,
And I don't know, I mean, she is hot, but I don't know if I'd have done it unless it was that specific niche.
Because, like, I do love, I do love hearing about dinosaurs and stuff.
And it's like, why not listen to the woman with such great tense talk about it?
So it's that, but I'm saying it's a, it's the attention economy is leaking over into academia.
Like, she's like, this is being better for my career.
You allowed yourself there to back up my point.
I would, there's got to go into my grave with some of the sentences you said.
And not because I think you should be ashamed.
You're just going to get catch hell for it.
I don't care.
Do you know about?
I know you do.
Why am I going to catch hell though?
You know about this woman?
And if you don't, I'm about to make your week.
You know about the news anchor who has done nothing?
Yeah.
Thicker in the bowl of oatmeal, baby.
Woo!
Oh, I follow her.
Nothing to draw.
She just dresses like a news anchor dresses.
Yeah.
But she has started for social media clicks to just read the comments, people leave on her regular news reports.
Trey, have you seen this woman?
Yeah.
Yes, the thick girl.
She's, she's just.
It's extremely beautiful.
Hilarious.
Somebody said you thicker than zoo glass.
I never heard that one before.
The one that I saw this morning that was only funny because she read it is I didn't know that you could have a fat nine, but here we are.
Right.
Yeah, yeah.
No, I love her, dude.
Anyway, yes, that's another perfect example of what I'm talking about.
like this woman is trying to advance her career how do you do that is it by reporting the
very well no not enough it's not enough anymore maybe it never was i don't know i didn't
i wasn't alive back then but i just kind of feel like sometimes when i see those things i'm like
well this mid-level no offense your boy can't sell but 30 tickets in the south but this
mid-level paleontologist or whoever right astrophysicist is like well this will get clicks to
my page
and then I go to get a job
and I say, I had a paper
that had 400,000 downloads last year
and they go, holy shit, how did he do that?
Our best guys do that.
Right. Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, it's just like
built like brick shit houses. That's why
motherfucker. It's like what's happened
to like, you know, ESPN
sports. Oh, yeah.
Obviously politics
and just everything.
Dude, like Pablo Tour.
Everything's turned into wrestling.
journalism outside of sports regular journalism
same thing Twitter had a whole lot to do with that you got to be first
it's less important to be right than it is for a while it was
for a while it was lebitard and then even lebitard will admit that like once he went out on
his own and started the the lebitard network it's like yeah a lot of the stuff he does
is specifically for virality and for clicks but like right now at least the only person
who is like a good fucking journalist in the sports world
that also is very popular and very popular
specifically because of how good of a actual sports journalist he is,
is Pablo Tori.
And now he's also good in front of the camera.
You know what I mean?
But like other than that, it's just people.
It's the Stephen A. Smith, Skip Bayless effect.
That's how you have to do it.
And Pablo Tori, you know, takes issues with that
and has those people on his show and is like, what the fuck?
like, what happened?
Like, obviously that's fun,
but it used to be that was one show
that's like, this is what they do.
This is their thing.
And now it's all the shows
and seeing actual journalism
is the crazy fucking thing.
Well, my theory on that
is they started getting the data back
in real time
in terms of what people are into.
I mean, it's also why
our media has turned more conservative,
not just in terms of the news media,
but like, dude, Taylor Sheridan.
Right.
Almost all he makes now is libertarian porn.
Right.
And the reason why they're giving him a pile of money is now that they have data on it,
they're like, well, this turns out this is what people want.
It turns out Pat McAfee is one of the most popular sports journalists we've ever had on this network.
Sure. We thought doing this very, like, in-depth job was important to people.
It's not to most people.
Not to most people, no. Unfortunately, it's not.
And, you know, with the Sheridan.
it like they'll just play it sucks for me that they'll just play to that and
it's like academia and politics because it's way more important than
football right and like with sheridan like if you if you just pitched me
most of the shows that he does that i walk that i'd watch every now and then
i'd be like oh god damn it this fucking right wing bullshit but then he'll fuck around
oh kevin costner's in it billy bob thornton's in it and now i'm like god i fundamentally
disagree with the message of the show but i'm gonna fucking watch it so he's already got half the
population that want to hear it for the message and then people who inherently disagree with
the message are still like yeah but dude hearing billy bob safe stuff hits you know he's very good but
i was more trying to explain why he has nine instead of two shows yeah i think it's because people
are wanted they want that and i think macafee it's because people want that like when pablo
tory goes this used to be one show what happened ESPN found out they could make a lot more money if they
did seven of them sure and and people realize they could keep
their jobs if they said wild shit.
Yeah, I mean, for sure.
You got people like, I mean, I guess Jason Whitlock's like a perfect example because
like before, yeah, yes, I brought it up for that reason.
Yes.
What's the kind of ugly long hair guy who does sports?
He's very serious.
Nick, Nick, right.
Nick Wright, he's the one that Pablo had on his show and they were like going back and
forth about.
And Pablo, I like that guy.
No, no, Pablo even said he's like, of these people, this guy's the best
one because he can back a lot of the shit that he says up or whatever.
And that guy was just making the argument of like, essentially like, yeah, like, I'll
admit that this part of what I do isn't journalism.
Fox News won't, you know what I mean?
Like, this is just commentary and opinion or whatever.
But, like, I also can be objective about things and write journalistically.
But, like, no, I love that guy.
I think he hit that.
But the whole thing ain't back.
Like, dude, I enjoy watching Shannon and Skip and Steve.
There's nothing wrong with that type of thing.
It sucks that culturally we decided that's all there can be.
You know, there are people attempting to do that with comedy.
Yes, and they're turning into battle rap.
I can't stand it.
Like comedy punditry, basically, like talking heads,
except they're usually not on camera.
Some of them are on camera.
But like the shit that Stephen A does for sports and that type of thing,
there's people doing that for the comedy world.
Oh, you mean when they like talk about being.
or, like, cover it, like, they're a journalist or whatever?
Yeah.
There's an entire cottage industry.
Elvin Graveyard is the one that, right, that hits for everybody.
But I would call that closer to journalism because...
Him, yeah, but there's a lot more...
He's just the one that hits of the...
But it's like a whole sub-genre on YouTube, and a lot of them are not that.
But you brought Jason Whitlock, we should reference real quick, and then we'll take a break.
Jason Whitlock, if people don't know, is a black conservative sports
journalist who was a sports journalist who then came over into politics under the umbrella of
the inimitable clay Travis uh Tennessee's own which like this that's such I'm not just saying
this because I'm a Tennessee and like I've hated Clay Travis since before he ever even got
into politics for sure he's always been an insufferable fucking trick like and so it just says
something about just most conservatives in general I feel like because we can tell before you even
said anything. Exactly, exactly. Before you ever
got into it, it's nothing's ever been
less surprising than him
you know, pivoting into being
a conservative pundit
or whatever because he was always such
an insufferable prick
like even when he just did sports
shit. But anyway, it's like imagine
if Bill Maher had worse opinions
somehow.
Right. But
on his network is Jason Whitlock, another sports
journalist who went into conservative punditry
but he's a black guy and apparently
our buddy, friend of the show,
denizen of the Ske Universe,
Donnie Singsdack, who lives in Nashville,
told me that Jason Whitlock,
I think, I don't know if he currently lives there or what,
but this is no longer happening.
But at one point,
Jason Whitlock moved to Nashville
and started doing open mics and doing sets
at Zanee's Comedy Club, right?
And I was like, Donnie just said that.
And I said,
Dear Lord, is it is, was it as bad as I'm imagining?
And he goes, oh, dude, maybe worse.
Dot, dot, dot.
The local black comics gave him the nickname Uncle Bomb,
which is so goddamn funny, dude.
I told my dad that last night.
I told my dad that last night at my birthday dinner or whatever,
and he thought that was the funniest goddamn thing he'd ever heard.
And I'm certain he aligns with Whitlock on a lot of things,
but he thought that was great.
Uncle Bombs blabbing.
All right, let's take a quick.
break and we'll be right back after this
all right and we're
back yeah
you said something a minute ago that
I wanted to say something
else about but now I don't remember it
I wanted to make sure and get the Whitlock thing
out there but then I
lost it after that
I'll do a little quick recap of everything we were
talking about big titted paleontologist
Stephen A. Smith
Pablo Torrey
before that we were on the lizard people tip of dinosaurs um other than that i got nothing
yeah i got yeah i got i got nothing so i tried to look up some of the like you know silly
scientific studies for the years or whatever and i mean i found some but the one that sticks out to me
is apparently scientists determined that um bisexual people are more likely to be left-handed so
they get called gay early on
and then they just accept themselves
that's a great theory
I believe that that's all that's happening there
they got called gay and they're like
well screw it I'm not sure yeah
we nailed that
all right next
apparently
chickens can tell if people are
hot or not
maybe okay
like it's sexually attractive
because they're letting them fuck
like come on now how do we
chickens apparently
would
they
peck at pictures
they seem to prefer
pictures of humans
that are conventionally attractive
over pictures
ugly
yeah maybe they
that would imply
they don't hit for them
yeah
but they can tell
it would still
yeah
it would still be that
they know
they're hot
and they get jealous
right yeah
is it just chickens
what about roosters
uh
I don't know
it just says
I bet roosters
everybody
it's a bunch of jealous ass
Bitches.
Next.
Yeah, next.
Boom.
There you go.
Scientists in Switzerland
played music for wheels of cheese.
I've done that.
I didn't get a fucking grant.
Different genres of music.
During the cheese is aging process.
I was not a refrigerator like John Q.
And according to their study,
each cheese developed a distinct flavor profile.
Well, my craft singles really received Tyler Childers well, and I do think it adds a certain level.
So the hip-hop infused cheese was described as having a stronger aroma and taste than the classical music-infused counterpart.
It was funky.
Have you ever seen those videos where they play music in the water with the plant in it and then the water's cleaner than the meat where they like yelled, I hate you or whatever?
You don't know about that?
I do.
If you were a scientist, that would be your job to scream at plants.
Scream at plants.
Fuck you.
Fuck you.
I was a subject.
I mean $3 a day doing that in Australia, dude.
Nobody had ever killed a plant as quick as me.
I'd get to the core, you know what I mean?
Your mother was a whore.
All the bees.
The plant tells you where Osama bin Laden is.
Just shut up.
I'll say anything.
Is this related to Corey recently?
I don't remember if it was this show when Drew wasn't here or P.O.A.
or what, but I was telling you about that suit.
science documentary that I saw while high in college and believed it for a couple of days
before realizing it was insanely stupid.
Yeah.
In that drew, this whole pseudoscience documentary from like 20 years ago, they had a little cult following because it like captivates conspiracy theorists.
Yeah.
That again, I saw while high at the age of 20 and got sucked into and it had me, it had me there for a second was basically trying to posit that.
it was like sort of the secret
before the secret
that like human thought
can like impact physical reality basically
and they tried to frame it through a scientific lens
because of quantum mechanics
right
Corey sent me a thing yesterday about how
about how
photons seem to know when they're being observed
or not you know the whole show here's cat thing
and like observation can alone can change things
which is like true
which is simulation theory like it means that like yeah it doesn't render the way i was
explained it was like in a video game where it's like that video game only renders what you can
see because it would take up too much data to render the shit behind it so when so adams only
react when you're like they're kind of like i guess it would be like the fucking um in toy
story when the kids run in all the fucking dolls go brup you know what i mean but the opposite
yeah but well we'll come back to that in just a second but anyway i like to that i like to that
in part of that documentary they had monks
fucking like vibing to plants
like positively positive vibes and prayers and shit to plants
in saying that they like the plants hit harder
they grew better or something like that all of it sounds like prayer
and that like they said they put things under microscopes
and when people would be like oh look at this lovely fucking petri dish
versus fuck you petri dish and that type of thing
then under microscopes the one that got yelled at like looked all fucked up and weird and the other one like blossomed or whatever the fuck like shit like that but i don't know how real any of that be you know
i mean some of that sounds like some stuff that i'm aware of and that is real i mean i brought up the plant thing
because i'm pretty sure it's been uh was it repeated recreated i don't know if the cheese thing is real is it do you know if it's been recreated
Like, have other people been able to copy the result?
Thank you.
I couldn't think of that word.
I don't know.
But also, it's one of those things.
Like, who's determining the outcome?
Do you know what I mean?
Like a cheese, cheese sommelier?
Yeah, maybe.
I mean, like.
A cheese monger.
It sounds a little bit like this sort of universe is a hologram theory,
which is more of a metaphor.
Like, when you get into the physics of that,
that's one of Stephen Hawking's, like, last theories,
he was working on and he's not the only one. There's been a lot of people talking about it.
I think for me, I'm a little more woo-woo than a lot of people, but a lot less woo-woo than
I don't know, my wife. I think that people like see this or like that documentary, I'm sure
what happened is like something happened in the lab. And then the people who made this documentary
drew these wild conclusions from it. Yeah, right. And then like very reasonable people like
yourself, Trey, are like, well, then fuck all that.
And it's like, well, hold on.
We may not know what happened, but this guy being an idiot doesn't mean nothing
happened.
We may not have figured out what happened.
We just don't know the why.
But something has happened here.
Like, regardless of what your theory is, it did happen, which is crazy.
So fucking why?
And what I've seen on stuff like that is like, there is, there does seem to be some sort
of connection we don't understand, I guess is the way to phrase it, in terms of
everything matter.
itself is a vibrational energy.
It's string theory.
And so like, yes. So like vibes are a very real thing that unfortunately in our culture
have been turned into like, you know, the secret.
You know what I mean?
Like you can have a million dollars if you just have good vibes, man, where it's instead
it's more like on a molecular level, if you yell at something, literal vibrations
will probably affect it.
What if you yell angrily, but you say positive things?
I bet it would suck those plants up.
Yeah, they were not.
conscious but I literally think just like
oh it's it's almost like yeah
doesn't that mimic if you went through a storm
right it's scary like yeah it's time
you might just literally be damaging it you know
and also with that whole like positive vibes
things it's like okay most
of everything that you get in life
that's good comes through connections like we all
know that like nothing really is a
meritocracy like and if you're
a positive vibey fun person
you're going to get more opportunities because
people want to be around you and if you're fucking
mean they don't and so you're like but it's like it's not like see i'm doing this all with my
mind it's like no you're just kind of fun and so good things will happen to you so there's actually
some pretty intense studies going on with that right now it's like in psychology and brain
whatever behavioral stuff it also has to do with it will change your behavior yeah right
if you do like you will be differently because your reality your reality because your reality
is, in fact, something you are imagining.
If you pretend long enough, you will become that thing.
Right.
And, like, so if you, like, if you tell yourself, I'm going to X goal,
your brain starts, like, seeing things it wouldn't have seen before,
like an opportunity.
To make that come through.
Yes.
And, um, you will subconsciously work towards that goal.
And to be fair to the witches, that's a little witchy.
It is witchy.
one of my favorite ones of these is like when people are like I won't fuck with any like essential oils or any of that that's all a bunch of bullshit Chinese medicine it's like sure but like acedaminophen literally they figured it out from a tree bark so like it's fine for you to mistrust the white girl with the thing on the the swirly thing on her bedroom wall when she's trying to fix your sinus infection but don't pretend like
there's no validity to witchy stuff because most of that came from a time where trial and error,
I mean, yeah, a lot of them murdered three kids, you know, because they gave them onions for the
clap or whatever the hell it was. But. Right. Like if you just apply science to, if you just take
away their witchy words and apply science to it, it makes sense. It's like they'll be like, oh, I don't
take, you know, Advil, I just make a turmeric tea. And it's like, right, well, turmeric has anti-inflammatory
properties therefore it mimics the same thing you're getting out of badville so now that i've said said it
like that it's like yeah okay you know it works so like yeah don't you don't mistrust everything they're
saying just because they got a septum ring you know what i mean one time andy called someone i think
she called him an energy vampire and i was like and she was explaining people feeding off others
like Colin Robinson Colin Robinson do you watch that show yeah i do it's great yeah he's
And this is pre-calling.
Yeah.
So I was just like, all right, well, and then she'd explain it.
And I was like, oh, a narcissist.
Yeah, got it.
Right.
I got it.
I know what we're talking about the same thing.
And we have different ways of saying.
Yeah, I mean, there are people, there are people who like, I will be more tired after a conversation with them than I will be another person.
And it's not even the rate at which they talk.
It's just the way, the vibe, they're whatever.
And I'm just like, God, damn, what have?
Right.
I'm probably that guy for a lot of people.
Pre-Colon Robinson, she was using that.
Depends on the day and how, you know, how choy you're being.
Thank you.
She was using it quite literally.
You know what I mean?
Like, the idea is like this person literally gets more energy off of being shitty to you.
I'm like, what are you talking?
Anyway, go ahead.
I said we'd circle back to it.
You said, you were like, in that video you sent, you know, said this too.
It's like one way people explain it.
but light photons and stuff, they seem to,
particles of light seem to somehow know when they're being observed
and that changes how they act, which is wild.
And it is wild.
So some people said maybe that's evidence that we're in a simulation
because like you said, in video games, the whole environment,
it doesn't render until you look at it because that saves computational power.
And I get that.
But my question is like,
when you play a video game and that's how that works it's you are the one playing it's just you
you're playing it right right it's on your screen your machine renders it because you're playing it
if we're all in a simulation like would that mean in that version of it it's like a matrix
version simulation where we're like you know we are real people that are hooked into this
versus we're part of it.
Yeah, right, right.
We're code.
We're, you know, we're MPCs, essentially,
even though we have sentience, but we're within it.
Because if it's the latter,
I don't really get the rendering thing.
Right.
And if it's the former,
every one of the six billion people on Earth
is a player in the game.
So most of it would have to be rendered a lot of the time.
I mean, there's huge, huge stretches of it
that wouldn't in the wilderness.
and stuff but like you know what I'm talking about is so my new though right we're talking
about protons right or photons yeah so like dumb ass yeah but photons are light and lights
fucking everything like I get that but my point is I can imagine a scenario where things are
rendered just not at the microscopic subatomic level until you look also if that were true
that would mean if a tree falls in the woods and
nobody's around to hear it, it probably wouldn't make a sound.
Well, it ain't even there.
Don't fall.
I mean, don't fall at all.
What I'm saying is it does fall.
Most of this is rendered.
This would make the bird had to be watching it.
True.
But the photons, like looking at the subatomic level is, they haven't, you know, I mean,
that was a waste of computational power.
Most of this can be explained in Ant Man and the Wasp, by the way,
if people want to just skip this episode and go watch that scientific documentary.
yeah on that note i don't believe much of this
which part you don't believe all of it the photon part of the simulation part
yeah i'd say the the photon thing has been like proven and it is weird a million times over
yeah but they still can't figure out why i like the holographic universe thing and again
that's a metaphor and it's not a great one it took me a long time to wrap my brain around it
and i'm still not sure i can but essentially it's like reality versus our observation
we are looking at a holograph,
which is not to say that there is no universe at all.
It's just that it's impossible.
We are it.
So to observe it, we have to see a holograph.
Right.
Yeah, I mean, because I mean, like, you know, we can,
because in this sense, it would be like,
okay, but I can feel a tree.
We do, we're massively dumb.
Like, we're massive, insanely dumb.
And matter of fact,
We're very unique people in that the more we talk about intelligent things and attempt to talk about them intelligently, the dumber we seem, you know, which is a rare...
Isn't that everybody?
Yeah, maybe.
But if, unless you're really dumb and then you see it and you're like, like, you know, that's Joe Rogan's whole thing.
He's like, he does all this dumb shit, but dumber people than him listen to it and go, wow, he's really fucking smart.
You know what I mean?
You're saying, right.
Okay.
It's a trait of smart people, though, what you described.
I think so, too, yeah.
yeah, you have to be smart to know how dumb you are.
Yeah.
To, any science you forever tell you, the more you, exactly, the more you like talk about
or learn about a thing, the more you realize you don't actually know about it or understand
or whatever.
Like, smart people, smart people do that.
Dumb people don't do that.
Dumb people do not do that.
They think that they understand it all without doing any of them.
They hear one thing and they're like, I get it when they don't get it at all, but they're
too dumb to know that they don't get it.
Right, right.
And like quantum.
I was too dumb to know.
Yeah.
I'm kind of doing a bit about.
that right now another Dunning Kruger sort of bit that I want to be better but it's still it's
working but it's kind of just me sort of ranting about how unfair that is that dumb people are
too dumb to another dumb it is unfair to be a lot better but yeah but it's also because it's like
well we talked about it it came out of that it actually came out of the and is this anything one of
the first says this anythings I think wow I'm going back to dinosaurs I brought up that lady
from that TikTok about how she can't believe there's an adult
humans who actually believe that dinosaurs existed right like that lady it came out of that
conversation and i talk about her on the thing and about how like how joyful it would be to
yeah but you can't do it you can't do it you can't do it there's nothing there's nothing
when you're drunk you know cliff claibin had the his his famous theory which is one of my
favorite ones like hey you know no i mean that alcohol kills brain cells but of course it
only kills the weak ones you know the strong ones survived that's why after a couple
couple of beers, you're smarter, you know? It's like, yeah, like, and that goes back to your old bit
where it's like, you, like, being bombed out drunk is like going to fantasy camp for dipships
because you do temporarily become that. Like, you're just insanely dumb, but very confident,
very confident. But then you wake up, and they never do, just like your bit, you know?
Yeah, right, exactly. It's like that every day. But it's also, what I'm talking about now is like,
is not how great it would be to be her,
but the frustration it comes from,
there's nothing you can do about that.
It's just like belief.
And it's like belief in religion or whatever.
I talked to my sister.
Yeah, like I talked to my sister about this all the time.
I think that's just eugenics, but I would kill to actually believe that there's a
a God that made all of this and loves me and that I'll see my grandmother.
I would,
You can't make me believe it, though.
It's you can't make me believe it.
I wish you could, but you can't.
If I did, it would just be pretending.
I remember I used to do Dockerview with Dean and we would sit and talk.
And this wasn't even a bit because, you know, especially at the time I was probably talking about my dick exclusively.
But like, I don't think believers can be non-believers.
Like, they can shift.
Like, you've seen believers like give up on the church, but then they become believers in something else.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I don't believe people who don't believe can believe.
I just, like, I think that that is inside, like, your personality or maybe it's formed early.
I don't know.
But, like, I genuinely believe what you said is, like, you cannot become a believer, Corey.
And I think people who can believe, they can leave the church, but they'll find something else to believe in.
There are people who just don't believe.
Exactly.
Yeah, you could, like, institutions can fail you as a believer.
Because those are people and those are fallible.
and you can become, you know, begrudged with that.
But, yeah, but like that belief, like, again, it's a fucking, it's a belief, you know,
and it's a belief that is impot, like, you know, there's plenty of things that I believed
and then scientifically it was proven.
This one, the belief in a God or whatever, it's one of those that, like, especially
if you believe in, like, the Christian God, it's like, that sign, they've got a fail say for
that, which is like human beings can't comprehend it.
And then honestly, when you look into the science of everything with the photons,
all this magical shit, as a believer, I would go, see, that's fucking so wild that only my God could have done that shit.
I'd feel that way, you know, without question, I'd go, that does not disprove God.
That proves His Majesty more than anything, you know?
Wow, they'd be like, yeah, God did the photon thing, but queers, no way.
Yeah, they made that up in the 70s.
I don't remember when we talked briefly about plants earlier,
but it made me want to look something up,
but I finally found...
You're about yelling at plants versus monk singing to them.
Right.
So, if you also heard any of the scientific experiments and stuff
about, you know, exactly how much plants can, like,
thank or not and decide things?
Oh, yeah.
I know they scream when we cut them.
Love that stuff.
It's great.
it uh yeah i've brought this up a million times by the way i love it because i am at my core
a cynical believer by the way i can't stop believing i have been able to get rid of beliefs but i
can't stop like all this is spiritual for me right but yeah cori said it before but all my
all-time favorite uh deep thought by jack handy was uh you know uh if trees could scream would
we be so cavalier about cutting them down we might be if they screamed all the time and for no good
reason it's so funny that only wrote that you're getting so annoyed at a tree you fucking chop it down
just to shut it to fuck up is so funny to me but anyway it is and i would experiment with a beans right
beans that like need a trellis or something to grow up ideally like and uh they put beans in a room with
uh like cane with sticks that would work for that purpose right but not in the pot like elsewhere
over somewhere else and the beans like and they do this with different beans different plants
with different sticks and different positions and they seem to somehow know where it is yeah like
like they each different bean will they'll all grow in the direction of the stick even though
how the fuck could that could it possibly be aware of where if they were going in all directions at once
and then find the stick and then stop and then stop and then focus that'd be one thing but that's according to this dude that's not what they're doing they're like growing in that direction to begin with again as if they know that it's there but like how that's fucking crazy could that be possible but they do somehow so they got little bean eyeballs i guess i don't know it should be wild dog and should be wild
And it also, for me, it goes back to the semantic thing I was talking about earlier, you know, like the energy vampire versus the Norse or whatever, like the plant thing with the dude yelling, like, no part of me thinks that the plant knows you're mad at it.
It don't speak your language.
It's just, why do you know, you know a minor court is sad and you know a major court is happy, but no one had to tell you that.
Right, right.
Yeah.
And if someone's like, see, man, you got to have good vibrations and you like roll your eyes and you go, no, actually,
there's a new study coming out
and what is actually happening
it's on a molecular level
and you explain it and I go
you guys said the same thing
right right
you still haven't explained
why the plant likes it
like you okay
you have told me
that what's actually happening
is the vibrations are effect
why why is the good ones good
and the mean one's not working
I know it doesn't know what mean is
but something has happened here
yeah I just uh I just
I get frustrated with the cynics more than the woo-woo's
because the woo-woo's sound like idiots
but they're like a good time.
Well, in terms of the power of belief and stuff like that, dude,
also, I was just thinking about this recently.
What the fuck is the placebo effect about?
Like, that shit is bananas.
That don't make no got.
And it's a thing that's like every sign.
They all acknowledge that it's real and it does happen,
but they all just kind of roll with it.
They're like, yeah, I don't know.
But that's like, it's like, but no, that's fucking crazy though.
That's crazy.
If that's a real thing that happens, like how?
I know that it's happening.
I think I know it's all happened to us before with us not knowing it,
but the only time I've been conscious of the placebo effect and,
oh, I'm sorry, did you say something?
No, no, I want you to, I won't do it at least finish that at some point
because I'll use it if I think of it.
No, what I just said was jokingly, it was never mind, I'll do it.
No, no, tell me.
Anyways, when I first got on antidepressants,
I was going through therapy and then I got on them or whatever,
and I started taking him
and I had like a therapy session
two days after I started taking them
and like immediately my life was better
immediately my life was better
and I was positive and I wasn't having these dark thoughts
and just it was a miracle
I remember telling y'all I was like
I remember being mad
that like oh so this is just how some people
fucking walk around
you know what I mean with all this serotonin and shit
and I was like god damn
if I was able to
get where I am now
without being so positive and full of energy.
Like, imagine what I'm about to do.
And by the way, my career took off
and things started good started happening to me.
Well, I'm telling my therapist about this.
And he's like, great, that's awesome.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Then the next week we have a thing
and I keep telling me, he goes,
by the way, I didn't want to bring this up to you then
because I didn't want to dissuade you or whatever.
He said, but scientifically,
though, if you, you've only been taking those for one day,
he said they had not gotten into your system
yet and they didn't they weren't and I said but how and he goes well it's the placebo effect and
he said and I said what the fuck and he goes reason I want to tell you is because it doesn't matter
that it was the like that means the pill technically did work it's just that you made it work
like you want he goes it wouldn't have worked if he goes you went into it wanting it to work
and believing that it would work and because you believe that it did somehow because you changed
your mindset and he's like now now they are in your system he's like but there's no way that
after less than 24 hours,
he's like, so it was placebo,
and I was just fucking blown away.
Like that, that,
because everyone wants to think,
that don't work on me
or advertising don't work on me
or whatever the fuck.
And it's like,
here's concrete proof to me
that, like,
God damn it did.
And it just blew my mind, you know?
Speaking of God damn it,
also on this list,
also on this list related to that,
another scientific study found that cursing
raises your pain tolerance,
which checks out.
There's another one that has shown that touch, physical touch can ease pain at least a little bit.
So, you know, like you fucking stub your toe or whatever and you like, you know, you automatically grab, you bang your knee or something, you grab it.
But when your head gets hurt, you touch it right, and they feel better immediately.
And it really, that really does something.
And cuss and script, fuck, like that really does something too.
Like, and yeah, all that shit is.
Wow.
sorry i gotta go okay we love you now you and he had he left before he was going to tell you his bit
i know i'm gonna text him uh yeah he's gonna this he's not gonna tell me no he's not
whole fucking thing and he's gonna do it and now he's gonna figure it out between now and nashville
and doing it's gonna be the best bit ever and you're gonna deceive yep probably i love that
that really hits for me all right well uh yeah
there you go call it a little early i don't know why not well why not it's fine let's just
do that it is nobody cares no hell i mean some people it would be wild if they were like hey
where the fuck was the last two minutes of the episode you fucking asshole you know what a bunch of
bullshit i guess we could well no we'll do that in p o a it'll be fine all right so y'all yeah
yeah yeah yeah it's in uh at zanis this weekend tomorrow through Saturday all three of us
again there's some tickets left uh not many but there are
some, so get them. And also, if you're not in that area, you want to see me, check out my
upcoming tour schedule at Treycrowder.com. Maybe I'm coming near you. And if I am, come
see me, it'll be fine. I would be delighted if you would join me on my substack, which could be
found at cory writes for you.com. I do written essays. I do audio versions of them. Some of them
funny. Some of them, still funny, but less funny. You know, I do an array of things. I also write
fiction. I also attempt and fail miserably at poetry, but I keep doing it anyways,
you know, whatever, who gives a shit?
CoreyRidesforyou.com, and thank you for everybody who has subscribed.
I was like number five or six or some shit in humor last week, which is crazy because
like two spots above me was Dave Barry. So, I mean, I'm certain, by the way, that the gap
between me and Dave Barry is insurmountable. Still, it was nice.
CoreyRights for you.com and come see us in Nashville.
Well, thank you all for listening to The Well Red Show.
We love to stick around longer, but we got to go.
I tune in next week of you got nothing to do.
Thank you. God bless you.
Good night and skew.

but we're still fancy putting on airs
We might not know much about history
We don't care
We gonna get drunk and we talk about yachts
We gonna get drunk and we gonna talk a lot
Dress real fancy, sit in our chairs
Sip on our tea, putting on airs
We collected from our love of Dalton Abbey
We collected we found out we're both so fancy
Hey, what's the difference
between rednecks and royal families
Only money because they both have sex with family
Ew, putting on airs
What other rednecks to talk about four and a bear?
Fares laughing so hard that we end up falling out our chairs
Sir Trace, Sir Corey, oh what a pair
High class topics with a redneck flare, oh yeah
Two rednecks, but we're still fancy putting our airs
We might not know much about history, we don't care
We gonna get drunk and we talk about yats
We gonna get drunk and we gonna talk a lot
Dress real fancy, sit in our chairs, sip on our tea, putting our air
Two rednecks but we're still fancy putting on airs
We might not know much about history, we don't care
We gonna get drunk and we talk about yachts
We gonna get drunk and we gonna talk a lot
Dress room fancy sitting our chairs
Sip on our tea putting our airs
Okay, it's team square out of team tray
Oh yeah we keep it basic
He thinks that the squirrels are Corey's mom's house are racist
And you know squirrels live in the same place for generations
So Trey you better count your days
And you better count your blessings
Cause all the squirrels that you ran over
That you think are nameless faceless
Their families are getting together
And plotting on you from the attic and basement
So even though Corey is dumb, fat and bald
He knows how to avoid drama
Don't get squirrels involved
Two rednecks but we're still fancy
Putting on airs
We might not know much about history
We don't care
We gonna get drunk and we talk about yats
We gonna get drunk and we gonna talk a lot
Dress through fancy sit in our chairs
Sip on our tea putting on air
Two rednecks but we're still fancy putting on airs
We might not know much about history
We don't care
We gonna get drunk and we talk about yachts
We gonna get drunk and we don't talk about yats
and we gonna talk a lot dress real fancy sit in our chairs sip on our tea putting on airs
