Dinosaurs Are Probably Fake (with Cedric Yarbrough)

·1 hr 6 min·5 clips

Cedric Yarbrough's mom told him dinosaurs are fake because they're 'worldly' teachings.

The episode begins with hosts Langston Kerman and David Gborie promoting their 'Start the Steal Tour' across multiple cities. They introduce guest Cedric Yarbrough, known for 'Reno 911' and 'Black Dynamite', who is promoting his new film 'Juror No. 2', a courtroom drama starring Nicholas Hoult and directed by Clint Eastwood. Cedric shares his background as a Jehovah's Witness in Minneapolis, where his mother taught him dinosaurs are 'worldly' and fake. He describes the conflict of being a Black Jehovah's Witness in a white neighborhood, including not standing for the Pledge of Allegiance. Langston relates this to his own socialist upbringing and refusal to stand at NBA games. Cedric reveals he now enjoys dinosaurs, watching AI documentaries while high. The hosts discuss conspiracy theories, with Langston presenting research that dinosaur bones in museums are replicas and the brontosaurus is not a real species. They explore recent discoveries like dinosaur feathers, which were confirmed in 1991 from Chinese fossils, and the unsexy appearance of feathered T-rexes. Cedric reflects on how his mother left Jehovah's Witnesses after getting a laptop and apologized for his childhood. The conversation touches on themes of community, skepticism, and government control over dinosaur bones. The episode ends with tour promotions and credits.
