Satan's Dinosaurs & More!

In this episode of the wellRED podcast, Trey Crowder dives into a mix of personal anecdotes, creative reflections, and cultural commentary. He begins by revisiting a misremembered scene from the TV show Patriot, which he initially believed featured a white Victorian child with a black umbrella flying off a roof—only to discover it was actually a black child with a yellow umbrella, a detail he subconsciously altered due to racial bias. This leads to a broader discussion about memory, perception, and unconscious bias. He then shares the rediscovery of a long-forgotten screenwriting collaboration with DJ, a half-finished script titled 'Flea Mess' that he finds hilarious and cringeworthy, prompting him to consider finishing it as a sample piece—though he plans to significantly rewrite the character of Drew to make him more relevant and less dated. The episode transitions into physical comedy and personal injury stories, including a jaw dislocation from laughing too hard at a comedy show, back pain from lifting, and leg soreness from dancing. He recounts a surreal encounter with an elderly man warning him about blood clots from long drives, which triggers a panic attack and a philosophical rant about God’s design of panic attacks and heart attacks having identical symptoms—leading to a darkly humorous theological bit about Satan creating dinosaurs as a faith test. The episode closes with a satirical take on soda marketing, questioning whether Sprite is racially targeted toward Black audiences, and a nostalgic riff on Jackass 2’s improvised humor, culminating in a call to action for upcoming tour dates and subscriptions to his Substack.
