Episode Overview

This episode of "My Momma Told Me" welcomes the hilarious Cedric Yarbrough (Reno 911, Black Dynamite) to explore one of the Black conspiracy theories closest to his upbringing: "Dinosaurs are probably fake." In their classic irreverent, insightful style, Langston and David dig into how conspiratorial beliefs about dinosaurs intersect with religious teachings, cultural identity, and the weirdly shifting world of paleontology. Expect nostalgia, wild facts, real talk about religion, and jokes that land somewhere between social commentary and absurdity.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Roots of a Dinosaur Conspiracy: Cedric’s Childhood

• Cedric’s family background: Grew up as a "bootleg" Jehovah's Witness in Minneapolis—“We definitely were taught the teachings of Jehovah's Witnesses, but also in a skewed mom weird way.” (14:31)
• How the conspiracy starts: "'Dinosaurs are worldly. Those bones, I don't really trust those bones. Those are fake bones,'" Cedric recalls his mom telling him. (17:24)
  • Cedric explains the tightrope of being Black, Jehovah's Witness, and named "Cedric" in a white neighborhood: “So some things I already knew not to just reveal just because of my otherness.” (17:59)
• “You can't be that and then screaming about not real animals.” —David (18:28)

2. Navigating “Worldly” Teachings and Tradition

• Jehovah’s Witnesses and Celebrations: They skipped standard holidays but sometimes got creative—“It's not your birthday. We just... like the day before, let's celebrate Thanksgiving with a chicken dinner.” (15:21)
• Lasting internal conflict: Cedric on holiday ambiguity—“Am I celebrating it because of what I didn't do, or because… Do we celebrate God and Jesus on this day? Really? Is it really actually commercial, or do I just wanna have fucking fun?” (16:09)
• Tracy Thoms’s Jehovah’s Witness detector: “That's what it is about you… That's why you this.” (17:07)

3. Belief, Science, and Black Identity

• Langston’s childhood: Socialist household, instructed not to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance, leading to awkward moments at NBA games: “We would sit and boy, were people mad at us… Michael Jordan in the 90s, that's the best America.” (20:10)
• America, Black Identity, and Company Men: “So many American institutions are shit that Black people champion to the fullest.” (21:13) —Langston

4. Where Do They Fall on Dinosaurs Now?

• Cedric today: Fully Team Dinosaur—“One of my favorite things is to have a gummy and then turn on… these AI dinosaurs… That's my shit. I laugh at that and… it's dope.” (22:45)
• But questions remain: “Do you feel like any of the questions that your mom introduced as it relates to dinosaurs have ever come into play in your adulthood?” —Langston (44:24)
  • Cedric: “Comedically, no… Realistically, probably, yeah.” (25:22)
• On community and group identity: Langston draws a parallel between religion, conspiracy theories, and the search for belonging—“[You] find some people who look like you and are kind of on the same wave as you, and it’s easier to just kind of roll with the punches.” (27:11)

5. Dinosaurs: Science, Skepticism, and the Real/Fake Divide

• Replica bones: Langston shares that most museum dinosaur bones are replicas—“They are models of actual dinosaur bones” because originals are too fragile or valuable. (41:07)
  • Cedric: “Replicas.” (42:23)
  • David: “I think I always kind of assumed they would be fake.” (42:44)
• Piecing it together: The hosts voice skepticism about whether paleontologists are “arranging the dinosaurs exactly as they should be.” (45:12)
  • “How do we know you're not filling it in with Asian bone?” jokes Cedric, referencing dark historical context from a previous bit. (46:00)

6. Recent Dinosaur Science Shocks Their Childhoods

• Brontosaurus wasn’t real: Langston drops the bomb—“The brontosaurus is made up… it is a mixture of some of those bones that they then thought was an original dinosaur and later realized, oh, that was just a fucked up apatosaurus.” (52:07)
  • David: “That really unravels everything.” (52:15)
• Dinosaurs with feathers: Recent findings show many dinosaurs—yes, including T. Rex and raptors—had feathers for warmth and display. (56:53)
  • “If you see the renderings, it is very unsexy.” —David (57:11)

7. What About Modern Dinosaurs?

• Modern birds as descendants—“Birds are descendants of dinosaurs. They're like the closest descendants we have—feathers.” (58:48)
• Scale and time: Extinction events mean it takes millions of years for creatures to get as big as dinosaurs. Human activity prevents "the next big thing" from evolving. (59:46)
• “Do you believe in like residual dinosaurs left over…?” —David references cryptid tales from the DRC (60:07)

8. Rules, Religion, and the Need for Structure

• David’s realization: “The point isn’t… if it’s real or not… The point is a commitment. The point is having rules to live by.” (47:55)
• Cedric: "It's about structure, you know, cause like you said, you don't want to be a loose loosey goosey out here…" (48:33)

9. Lingering Skepticism and Government Control

• Dinosaur bones are everywhere… but: “You're not legally allowed to keep the dinosaur bones… It is illegal.” (67:33)
  • “Who gon' check me, boo?” —David (67:37)
  • Langston muses about government manipulation, lamenting: “If I dig up some bones, I should be able to keep these until I can assemble my own dinosaur…” (68:29)
• Cedric: “Just get the yellow flag with the snake and don't tread on me, dog. Sounds like you really maga it, dog.” (68:59)

Tone and Style

The episode is laidback, relentlessly funny, and candid. The hosts riff and roast while still probing seriously how family, upbringing, and community shape our beliefs—about science, history, and what gets called “the truth.” Cedric matches the tone perfectly, swinging between wisdom, lived experience, and perfectly timed punchlines.

---

Conclusion

By the end, all are (mostly) pro-dinosaur, but with a healthy dose of skepticism about authority, museums, and official histories. The conversation is about more than dinosaurs—it’s about who gets to tell us what's real and why we believe it.

All that meet and greets. You think Chris Brown has a good meet and greet, bro?

[Langston Kerman]

Let's be clear. I'll take a weird picture with you for free.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

So some of my Jehovah's Witnesses witnessiness, you know, I guess Witnesses comes out of my. Yeah, comes out of my pores. We did a lot of Jehovah's Witness jokes on Reno911. US chasing and beating up Jehovah's Witnesses because of me.

[David Bory]

I don't know what to say to that.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Nor do I, but a lot of it was because of my, you know, my shit.

[Langston Kerman]

They're like, cedric, do you feel better? And you're like, I don't know.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

I don't know. A little guilty. It's funny, though.

[David Bory]

It was funny as hell.

[Langston Kerman]

It's very funny.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yeah.

[Langston Kerman]

The government growing babies. Microchips in your anus. All koala bears are racist.

[David Bory]

The ozone layer owes me money. Martians invented turkey stuffing. Y' all can't tell me nothing. You got to have a mother for me. So bring that big ass round this way so I could work on that zipper, baby. Welcome, little mamas and gentiles alike, to another phenomenal episode of My Mama Told

[Langston Kerman]

Me the podcast, where we dive deep, deep into. Into the pockets of black conspiracy theories.

[David Bory]

And we finally worked to prove that the erasure of the hashtag Blackboy Joy was in fact perpetrated by the fat cats down at the Almond Joy Company. They could not have us brown on the outside and sweet on the inside. It would distract from their product. I'm David Boury.

[Langston Kerman]

I like that. I'm Langston Kerman. I'm impressed.

[David Bory]

That's pretty good, huh?

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah, that was pretty good. I felt good about it. That goes all the way to the top. Yeah.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Come on. Come on.

[Langston Kerman]

I enjoy our conspiracies. When they go all the way to

[David Bory]

the top, I like it. You gotta have the full breadth. I could have kept it on the ground floor, but not for in person.

[Langston Kerman]

Are you an almond milk person? Are you a almond milk?

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yeah.

[David Bory]

Any. Not milk. Milk is all.

[Langston Kerman]

Okay. You're off classic dairy.

[David Bory]

I think we all need to get off the cow's dicks a little bit.

[Langston Kerman]

Okay. It doesn't come out their dick, but

[David Bory]

I like you know what I'm saying? But like in general, beef, dairy, all you gotta relax on the cow a little bit.

[Langston Kerman]

I got you.

[David Bory]

But yeah, I'll drink almond milk sometimes.

[Langston Kerman]

Okay.

[David Bory]

But I don't really have a lot

[Langston Kerman]

of milk in general.

[David Bory]

Yeah. Are you almond milk?

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah, we're, we're an almond milk house. But, but I think it's not going green over there.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Huh?

[Langston Kerman]

We're not going green. And I, I. It wasn't until after we had committed that I realized that this was a big mistake.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yeah.

[Langston Kerman]

That almond milk is actually harmful to the environment. And what do you want me to like try cashews? I don't, I can't.

[David Bory]

Also with shit like that, it's like there's no ethical consumption under capitalism. We give it up to the military. Drink the almond milk. Yeah.

[Langston Kerman]

I don't know. I don't know that there's an alternative that's going to be healthier for, for me and mine, so.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Agreed.

[Langston Kerman]

Almond it is.

[David Bory]

But I do like Almond Joy, which is gross.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah, that's disgusting.

[David Bory]

It's a problem.

[Langston Kerman]

Relate to that even a little bit.

[David Bory]

There's a problem.

[Langston Kerman]

One of the grossest candies I've ever heard about in my life.

[David Bory]

Sick fuck.

[Langston Kerman]

I guess today is not a sick fuck. I don't think.

[David Bory]

No, no, he's.

[Langston Kerman]

He's phenomenal. I, I truly can't believe he's here.

[David Bory]

I can't believe he

[Cedric Yarbrough]

me three y'.

[Langston Kerman]

All.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

What the hell is this happening? I mean you couldn't be more light skinned or enjoying milk still.

[Langston Kerman]

You think that's a light skinned trait?

[Cedric Yarbrough]

I mean black people can't have that.

[David Bory]

Let them cook.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

You know, we. I'm a oat milk type of guy myself. But if you're doing full out milk right now in 2024, you couldn't be more license.

[Langston Kerman]

Damn. Damn. You're saying Drake.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

I aspire to be able to drink milk.

[Langston Kerman]

Milk.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Oh, come on, man.

[David Bory]

I don't even know what that's like.

[Langston Kerman]

You're saying Drake has condensed milk? A refrigerator filled with milk at the Drake house.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Oh, I wish I could do that.

[David Bory]

I think he dips in it. I think he bathes in it.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Whoa.

[David Bory]

Milk bath. That's a thing, right?

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah, they do milk bath.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

That's definitely a thing.

[Langston Kerman]

I don't think they just do exclusively. I don't think it's just milk in there. I think it's like.

[David Bory]

Oh, really?

[Langston Kerman]

I think it's like a. Pour a little. Pour a little taste of milk.

[David Bory]

That's trash.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah. It's not, it's not as cool, I

[David Bory]

guess, because you can't reuse it.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Almond Joy, I mean, Joy's in the name, so I'm on his side.

[Langston Kerman]

Wow.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

With that. I mean, it's got coconut in it.

[David Bory]

It's got coconut in it.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

And that's a little coconut. Candies aren't always the best, but there's something about an Almond Joy they got. Have you tried one?

[David Bory]

It's the mix. They mix it all together. Right.

[Langston Kerman]

You've attacked light skinned people. You've sided with him on the nastiest candy available. I don't know that this is a great start, but I'm excited to introduce our guest.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

He's.

[David Bory]

Big day.

[Langston Kerman]

Truly one of my favorite comedians actors talents of all time. You know him from Reno911. You know him from so many goddamn things. Black Dynamite. God damn it. My favorite line ever served up in television or film history comes from this man. And most importantly, he.

[David Bory]

Which line is it? But, But Black Dynamite, I sell drugs to the community. I knew it was gonna.

[Langston Kerman]

It's. You couldn't have done it better.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

The thing is about that line is so stupid, is that no one's ever was ever afraid of Black Dynamite, you know, and we all know his history of kicking ass.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

So for me, it was like just being honest about this situation. You are stopping something from what I'm doing and I'm afraid of you. I respect you, but that's what I. That's what I do.

[Langston Kerman]

That's what I do.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

And so that, you know, it was an improv improvised line. And so, you know, you're supposed to speak your truth. And so that's how. That, how, why it generates. I feel like why it's so. It just, you know, buddy, I. It's in the heart of people.

[Langston Kerman]

I repost it every year like it's a holiday.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

We just celebrated yesterday, the 15 year anniversary of that movie.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah. Wow.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

You know, Michael Jai White, genius. And it just seemed like everybody got the tone and figured out, yo, this is, this is, this is the stuff we want to do.

[Langston Kerman]

It's a perfect film and we're so happy you're here. But more importantly, you're here to promote your new film, juror number two. Clint Eastwood project.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Clint Eastwood project. Yeah.

[Langston Kerman]

November 1st.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

November 1st, juror number two, starring Nicholas Hoult, Toni Collette, J.K. simmons, Kiefer Sutherland, and then my weird Ass got in there somehow, so. But, yeah, it's a cool thriller, courtroom drama. It's got no superheroes, no supernatural stuff. Just some adults, you know, some adult shit.

[David Bory]

And all I watch is adult movies.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

This is perfect for me.

[David Bory]

That's my main. Yes, that's my main genre.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yeah. It's not as adult as you. As you'd want it.

[David Bory]

I'll be the judge.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

I'll let you.

[Langston Kerman]

My man finds a way to make things.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

He'll figure it out.

[David Bory]

I'm a trooper.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

You know, I knew Reno911 was something when we had the Reno911 parody of it.

[David Bory]

That's great.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yo, we hosted it. We hosted a screening of the parody the Reno cast at UCB here in Hollywood. Yeah. And a couple of the porn stars also showed up, too, and we showed a couple clips of it.

[Langston Kerman]

But, yeah, that's great, because you don't

[David Bory]

get to sign off on who's playing you.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

No, no, that's a rough.

[David Bory]

I would be worried about that.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

I was a little offended, too, by the casting. I was like, come on, bro.

[David Bory]

You come on, man.

[Langston Kerman]

That ain't even how I curve.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yeah, that's not even me, bro.

[David Bory]

I'm south by Southwest.

[Langston Kerman]

Yes.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

And I don't work that often that I can't be a part of this process.

[Langston Kerman]

I was available.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Right. I'm single. You know, like, what's that? Let's go. Let's go. But, yeah, that's when I was like, okay, Reno might have a little staying power here for doing parodies of us.

[David Bory]

If this shit gets a porno parody, you won't even see me again.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

You don't want that, though. Just two brothers.

[David Bory]

I mean, no. We have a lot of guests. We have a lot of guests.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

No disrespect. Well, you know, not that there's anything wrong with that. Right. But a parody of y' all just.

[David Bory]

Oh, just us? That was crazy.

[Langston Kerman]

I'm. I'm just. No bad press at this point. I'm willing to take whatever they offer. What do you want from me?

[Cedric Yarbrough]

You know what I mean?

[Langston Kerman]

We're here to. We're here to get the numbers up.

[David Bory]

That's true. I would love to see the demographic for it as well. I would love to see what that room looks like.

[Langston Kerman]

Who wanted this?

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Who would want to see.

[David Bory]

Who was looking for.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Who would want to see that?

[David Bory]

And then willing to watch the whole parody.

[Langston Kerman]

Because part of the parody is that they're having sex, but they're also saying weird things about the government.

[David Bory]

Yeah, that's the Conspiracies are worked in because we would write it, I assume. Right. We would get tapped to write it.

[Langston Kerman]

I hope so.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

That's true. You know Obama's an alien, right? That would. Yeah.

[David Bory]

I will say.

[Langston Kerman]

Now you want to see it a little bit, right?

[Cedric Yarbrough]

That would be wild. Yeah.

[David Bory]

We would need a third, because whatever the dynamics of the two of us, whatever they picked would surely ruin this podcast in our relationship.

[Langston Kerman]

Oh, I see what you're saying.

[David Bory]

Yeah. That would really fuck us up, I think.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah. There's a. A dominance that would be introduced that

[David Bory]

we can't undo, and it is a disrespect, quite frankly. I don't think either of us are both to take.

[Langston Kerman]

You're right. I'm a fragile man. I can't. I couldn't handle that.

[David Bory]

That would really. That would really fuck me up.

[Langston Kerman]

Damn. Cedric Yarborough is here, everybody.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

I was fine with just having a moment of silence and what that was. I'm here. I am here, too, as well. Yeah.

[Langston Kerman]

We're so excited you're here.

[David Bory]

Yeah.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Thank y' all for having me.

[Langston Kerman]

We discussed conspiracies on this podcast, and you came with a conspiracy that I'm excited about. David, I know this hits very close to home for you. You said, my mama told me dinosaurs are properly fake.

[David Bory]

Yeah, let's go.

[Langston Kerman]

Tell us everything you know.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

So I grew up in Minneapolis, and our family were Jehovah's Witnesses.

[Langston Kerman]

Okay.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

And, I mean, there's so much there that we grew up learning or being told. Mama told us things that were. What?

[Langston Kerman]

So this is coming directly from the source?

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yeah, no, this is coming from Mom. Yeah. We, you know, we learn in school about the dinosaurs, and she's like, no, you know, that's worldly. She would call it worldly. But by the way, we were bootleg Jehovah's Witnesses.

[Langston Kerman]

Oh, no.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Because we definitely were taught the teachings of Jehovah's Witnesses, but also in a skewed mom weird way. And also, I'm a child, so remembering some of this is also skewed as well.

[Langston Kerman]

So when you say bootleg, are we saying, are y' all door to door? Are you hitting the streets the way you're supposed to?

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Sometimes, but not really, because mom didn't want to get up, you know, on a Saturday. So that kind of bootleg kind of like, let's do some of the things.

[Langston Kerman]

Phoning it in a little bit.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yeah. Halloween, Christmas, birthdays, we didn't do. But, you know, here's a little bit of something. Right.

[David Bory]

It's just happy. It's not your birthday.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

It's not your birthday. We just. Like the day before, let's celebrate Thanksgiving with a chicken dinner.

[David Bory]

That's beautiful.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

That kind of.

[David Bory]

That's. Do you appreciate that now, though?

[Cedric Yarbrough]

No, it's like, let's do it. What are we doing? Why are we faking the funk?

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah, stop playing. Let me participate.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Cause now I'm still as an adult. Like, are we right about celebrating this stuff? You know, if you have a girlfriend, you know, do I have a Christmas tree and celebrate Christmas? And that whole thing.

[Langston Kerman]

You're saying that the conflict was introduced to you and you can't undo that conflict.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

You can't undo the conflict. You can go, you know, I want to celebrate this stuff, but am I celebrating it because of what I didn't do or because of. Do we celebrate God and Jesus on this day? Really? Is it really actually commercial or do I just wanna have fucking fun? And that's. Is this too deep to get into?

[Langston Kerman]

No, this is fantastic.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

The whole thing about my whole psychology of the other day, I was with some friends. I'm a name drop. You know Tracy Thoms, the amazing actor. Sure, Tracy Thoms.

[Langston Kerman]

She.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

She did rent and she's done Quentin Tarantino films. And I was over at her spot, and she's. And I mentioned something about being a Jehovah's Witness as a kid. She's like, that's what it is about you.

[David Bory]

That's a bad moment though, right? That's how feeling.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

But it clicked for her, like, yeah. Oh, see, that's what, you know, I fuck with you. But that's why you. That's why you this.

[Langston Kerman]

That's why you ain't right. I get it.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

That's why you this. Yeah.

[Langston Kerman]

So your mom is telling you dinosaurs are worldly.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yeah. Those bones, I don't really trust those bones. Those are fake bones.

[Langston Kerman]

And when you hear this, you are a child. Do you believe this? Are you then repeating it back at the school like, hey, y', all, big news. My mom said everything we've been learning is bullshit.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

No, I have not. Okay. So I also. Here's the other thing. I also grew up around, you know, Minnesota's very white, and we were, you know, the only black, you know, family in this neighborhood.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

So some things I already knew not to just reveal just because of my otherness. Anyway, I got you black family, Jehovah's Witness. Your name is Cedric, Not Cedric. What is that? So it was a lot otherness.

[Langston Kerman]

You had a lot going on.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

I had A lot going on for me. And so what is, you know, what do you reveal? What do you mean?

[David Bory]

Yeah, you can't be that. And then screaming about not real animals.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yeah.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

That's a tough.

[David Bory]

That's a tough kid. That's a tough kid.

[Langston Kerman]

Also, not for nothing, really cool fucking animals. You know what I mean? Like to be the kid that goes like, dinosaurs ain't real. You're being a hater.

[David Bory]

That is true.

[Langston Kerman]

That's.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

You don't fuck with brontosauruses.

[Langston Kerman]

That's. What are you doing?

[David Bory]

It's a T. Rex.

[Langston Kerman]

Come on, man.

[David Bory]

Yeah, that is. And then. That is tough.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

That is tough. Now mom says no. Get your ass. Yeah.

[Langston Kerman]

Cedric.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yeah.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah.

[David Bory]

Oh, you don't believe in dinosaurs.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

I was fighting white children all the time anyway, you know.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah. For just.

[David Bory]

You don't hate that here.

[Langston Kerman]

That's the repair.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

And it was being flown around all the time. And we didn't stand up for the Pledge of Allegiance, you know, we had to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. Mom said, no, that's worldly politics that we don't believe in. So I'm also that kid sitting in the corner while everyone's up.

[David Bory]

Well, I like. Cause did you stand for the.

[Langston Kerman]

No, I relate to that because I grew up in a socialist household. My dad was a very practicing socialist and we were told not to stand up. We would go to NBA games sometimes because my uncle had like. He was a doctor and had these weird box tickets that he could get. And my dad would take us and then we would sit and boy, were people mad at us, you know what I mean? The United Center, Michael Jordan in the

[David Bory]

90s, that's the best America. That's the one to stand up for.

[Langston Kerman]

We're refusing it. And it was embarrassing as shit.

[David Bory]

They had the bull, like the laser bull. And you had the nerve.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yeah.

[Langston Kerman]

Whole wind and we're sick, Brock.

[David Bory]

That's.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

That's tough, you know? 15 year old, 15 little kids hating on you. As opposed to grown men. Grown men mad at you.

[David Bory]

Yeah. And you get surprised when you find out how much niggas love America.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yeah.

[David Bory]

Like, have you ever had that conversation where you're like, I didn't even know. You know what I mean?

[Langston Kerman]

I thought we were all on the same page.

[David Bory]

Yeah, I knew you were in the army, but I thought you just like motorcycles and then all of a sudden they hit you with. That's the craziest shit. It always surprises me when you meet. Cause black people love America.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah. It is sort of the violence I would say that was created around the black identity, where they pretend as if we don't like America. And in fact, so many of American institutions are shit that black people champion to the fullest.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yeah. I mean, we built the shit.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

So our blood, sweat and tears are all up and through here.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yes. There was revolutionaries that were against a lot of the ideology, but, you know, a lot of us built this shit, so. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[David Bory]

It's crazy to think we're like company men for America. Yeah. God damn.

[Langston Kerman]

Wait, did you grow up believing in dinosaurs? Were you a dinosaur?

[David Bory]

Yeah. I'm not an animal.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Not like them yarbroughs. Them yarbros are animals.

[David Bory]

You don't believe my name is true? That's the traditional way with pterodactyls. I did. I just. Bro, I realize this now in hindsight. My childhood was so chaotic. I didn't give a shit. Like, when kid, I never had a dinosaur phase. I was never like, oh, my God. I mean, like, I thought Jurassic park was cool, but I wasn't really giving it much thought.

[Langston Kerman]

It didn't transform your childhood in any kind of way.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

I did not give a fuck.

[David Bory]

I still don't really care about dinosaurs.

[Langston Kerman]

Well, that I think is a great segue into my next question is, where are you now as it relates to dinosaurs? Obviously that was a worldly teaching, but are you now, like, fully, like. Absolutely. They were real. I fuck with them. I'm a big fan. Or are you like. No, I'm still. I'm still not 100% certain because, Langston,

[Cedric Yarbrough]

one of my favorite things is to have a gummy and then turn on. On Apple, they have those. These, like, AI dinosaurs, like the Robert Attenborough. Pterodactyl is fucking the other one falling down the mountain. That's my shit.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

I laugh at that and watch and gawk. It's dope. I love that shit. So, yeah, no, I'm with him.

[Langston Kerman]

You're Team Dinosaur.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Team Dinosaur for sure.

[Langston Kerman]

And Robert Attenborough. What's his name? David Attenborough.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

David. David Attenborough.

[Langston Kerman]

His brother was. Was the one in Jurassic Park. What, his brother? David Attenborough's brother is the old man in Jurassic park that builds the Park.

[David Bory]

Clever Girl.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Wow.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah, you got Clever Girl. Clever Girl's that weird Australian man who gets eaten by the raptor.

[David Bory]

I thought Clever girl was the old. But the old guy who set it up.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah. Welcome to Jurassic Park. That's David Attenborough's brother.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Wow.

[Langston Kerman]

The Attenboroughs, they Went crazy.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

They're hard.

[Langston Kerman]

Very different than the Yarborough. They went really hard for us.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yeah. They're the opposite of us, basically. The absolute opposite. Absolute opposite. Yeah.

[Langston Kerman]

Okay, so you. You are now an advocate for dinosaurs or certainly an advocate.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

I don't know about

[David Bory]

you. He doesn't have a shirt on.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

I did. Yo. Yeah, I am wearing dinosaur draws right now. Like, real. Like, no, I'm rich. So I got, like, real, real shit

[Langston Kerman]

on motherfucking bars, nigga.

[David Bory]

You know nothing about that.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

That was a good. That was a good one.

[Langston Kerman]

Do you feel like any of the questions that your mom introduced as it relates to dinosaurs have ever come into play in your adulthood? Do you know what I mean? That, like, now more than ever, we live in this conspiratorial society where people go, like, ah, these things aren't real. The earth is flat. There's a fucking earth inside of the earth. You know what I mean? Like, there's all kinds of crazy stuff. Do you feel like you've ever heard some of your mom's theories out in the world and gone, like, oh, okay. She wasn't completely off base, as it were, man.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

There's comedically, no. Yeah. But realistically, probably, yeah, probably. She's just a good, sweet person. She's so damn funny and very sweet. And I just feel like a lot of what we were doing back then, particularly, like, anything, like a gang, you know, you're looking for a family, and when she's from Mississippi, moved to Minnesota, and so she was looking for, like, minded individuals. Yeah. And we all do. And she's a, you know, a younger woman. She sees, you know, a lot of black people fuck with Jehovah's Witnesses.

[David Bory]

We talk about it a lot. You guys have big, good hit record as far as producing talent.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yes. Yeah.

[David Bory]

Pretty good farm. I mean, come on. It's a pretty good farm, bruh.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yeah.

[Langston Kerman]

There they are.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

There they are.

[Langston Kerman]

The kings.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

There they are. Yes.

[David Bory]

You got some Hoopers, right?

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. What's that kid?

[David Bory]

Noah Lyles. Wasn't he the runner?

[Langston Kerman]

Quinta.

[David Bory]

Quinta.

[Langston Kerman]

Quinta was a Jehovah's Witness. Yeah, we grew up Jehovah's Witness.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

I didn't know that.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah, y' all got a bond.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yeah, Yeah, I know my boy. One of the funniest writers, Jerry Miner, he is also ex Jehovah's Witness. We should do a documentary about.

[Langston Kerman]

Come on, man.

[David Bory]

The Hollywood ties. It's like you guys in Scientology.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yes. Yeah. Yeah.

[David Bory]

A name I don't feel comfortable saying on this podcast. Yeah, maybe we cut that and post.

[Langston Kerman]

Hey, me and Cedric didn't say. We didn't say a goddamn thing.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Hey, my career is fine. Why am I here? Damn it. I knew this was a bad move, but. Yeah, no, we. We. You know, Joe's witnesses are the black Scientology.

[Langston Kerman]

But I do think to your point, it. It is a community you find yourself sort of aligning with, and we talk about this with conspiracy a lot, where you find yourself aligning with these theories, these ideas, these whatever, because you find community. You find some people who look like you and are kind of on the same wave as you, and it's easier to just kind of roll with the punches, as it were, instead of, like, being like, no, I don't agree with this side of it, and then getting put out and not hearing anyone.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

And your question also? Yeah, I mean, the teachings definitely affect my adult thinking, you know, where I think about certain things, how I put things in categories of, ah, yeah, that's a little worldly for me or that's a little much for me. You still feel that way in some regard? There's some things I just don't fuck with because that's just against them.

[David Bory]

Like, you don't play cards? What are we talking about?

[Cedric Yarbrough]

No, I play cards. But, you know, I think a lot of what I don't fuck with, I do because mentally, I'd like to be positive. I like to not wallow in the dittiness. I'm diddy free, by the way. Oh, congratulations, clean.

[David Bory]

We weren't even putting you in the box.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

I'm putting it out there. Right?

[David Bory]

Ok. Get out of it.

[Langston Kerman]

I wasn't gonna bring him up because you have the type of career where I was like, oh, Cedric might have

[Cedric Yarbrough]

been at a few parties. He probably was. Yeah, he could have been at a few parties. I'm diddy free.

[Langston Kerman]

Good for you.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Oh, you know what? I did not that I wouldn't have gone if I had been. Let's also put that out there.

[Langston Kerman]

You would have appreciated an invite.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Do they want me there? No, you basic cable dog.

[Langston Kerman]

And here's what I'll say.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Invited to the Diddy party.

[Langston Kerman]

Shame on you.

[David Bory]

Basic daddy.

[Langston Kerman]

Basic cable. Shame on you, Diddy. You had the chance to invite this man to one of your fine, fine parties and you wasted it.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

I would have been fun.

[Langston Kerman]

He would have been fun. You squandered that opportunity, and I hope that rot. I hope while you rot in prison, that rots in your mind.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

That reminds me of a time where I did get kicked out of a party. A BET Awards. At an BET Awards party at the Roosevelt Hotel. So me and Aaron Magruder from the boondocks, why we thought we could go to the BET Awards party. We fuck with BET all the time on the show. Why did we think we could go in there and. And it'd be okay?

[Langston Kerman]

You guys didn't just fuck with like, the concept of bet. You named their executives and shitted on them individually, which was amazing.

[David Bory]

Boy, was that good.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yeah, it was great. But the ego that we thought, let's get up in here. It might have been Aaron. Yeah. No, it was Aaron who got tapped on the shoulder. Big bro was like, can I talk to you for a sec? You know you're not supposed to be in here, right? And we were like, oh, wait, what? Yeah. And he pointed to a camera. They don't want you here.

[David Bory]

Whoa, bet, he's got cameras.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Something.

[David Bory]

He's got cameras. Oh, we're not all surprised they have cameras.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

I mean, that's not bad.

[Langston Kerman]

I thought that was their main thing was having Cameron.

[David Bory]

Yeah, but I mean, at a party, I didn't think they had.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yeah, yeah. They. They saw us there and told us to leave. They told Aaron and I was with Aaron and so I.

[Langston Kerman]

You held your boy down.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yeah.

[David Bory]

Good. You would have been good.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

But they were like, no, you gotta go too. You know, it was like, okay. Would you have said, yeah, bye, bye, dog.

[Langston Kerman]

I see you at work on Monday, Aaron.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Sanaa late in is here.

[Langston Kerman]

It's some baddies in the building,

[Cedric Yarbrough]

but yeah, they are like, damn. Yeah, this is great.

[Langston Kerman]

We need to take a break.

[David Bory]

Oh, it's break time.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah, we got. We're going to take a break and we're going to come back and talk more. More dinosaurs and talk to more Cedric Yarborough. More. My mama told me when we're.

[Heather Dubrow]

Hi, this is Jo Winterstein, host of the Spirit Daughter podcast where we talk about astrology, natal charts and how to step into your most vibrant life. And I just sat down with a mini driver.

[Langston Kerman]

The Irish traveler said when I was

[Heather Dubrow]

16, you're gonna have a terrible time with men. Actor, storyteller, and unapologetic Aquarian visionary. Aquarius is all about freedom loving and different perspectives. And I find a lot of people with strong placements in Aquarius like are misunderstood. A sun. And Venus in Aquarius in her seventh house spark her unconventional approach to partnership.

[Langston Kerman]

He really has taught me to embrace

[Heather Dubrow]

people sleeping in different rooms on different houses in different places, but just an embracing of the isness of it all. If you're navigating your own transformation or just want a chart side view in into how a leading artist integrates astrology, creativity and real life, this episode is a must. Listen Listen to the Spirit Daughter podcast starting on February 24th on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen to your podcasts.

This is Ryder Strong with a podcast called the red weather. In 1995, my neighbor Anna Trainer disappeared from a commune. It was nature and trees and and praying and drugs. So no, I am not your guru. Back then I lied to everybody. They have had this case for 30 years. I'm going back to my hometown to uncover the truth. You can now binge all episodes of the Red weather on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

On June 11, 1998, a deputy from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department went missing. It's an all out manhunt for John Auge. Every search and rescue team in LA county has been called in to help.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Within days, tips started flooding into the sheriff's department.

[Langston Kerman]

They ruler around the drug scene. Was that a deputy was taken care of. Is this the story of a man who just got lost in the desert?

[Heather Dubrow]

Or of a cover up inside the nation's largest sheriff's department?

[Langston Kerman]

A homicide captain saying detective, do not find out if this guy's guilty or innocent. Who does that?

[David Bory]

Valley of Shadows, a new series from

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Pushkin Industries about crime and corruption in California's high desert.

[Heather Dubrow]

Do you have any advice for us while looking into this disappearance?

[Cedric Yarbrough]

I wouldn't do it alone. Listen to Valley of shadows on the

[David Bory]

Segregation in the day, Integration at night.

[Heather Dubrow]

When segregation was the law, one mysterious black club owner had his own rules. We didn't worry about what went on outside.

[David Bory]

It was like stepping in another world.

[Heather Dubrow]

Inside Charlie's Place, black and white people danced together. But not everyone was happy about it.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

You saw the kkk.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah. They was dressed up in their uniform.

[David Bory]

The KKK set out to raid Charlie, take him away from here.

[Langston Kerman]

Charlie was an example of power. They had to crush him.

[David Bory]

All that meet and greets. You think Chris Brown has a good meet and greet, bro?

[Langston Kerman]

Let's be clear. I'll take a weird picture with you for free.

[David Bory]

We are back. We are back with Cedric Yarborough. We are discussing dinosaurs Edger number two.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yes.

[Langston Kerman]

So I don't know that I've seen you in a drama yet.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yeah, not many people have. I mean, grow up in Minneapolis. I'm a theater kid. I was trained Shakespeare, lots of straight plays. Got into musical theater. Then I just thought, you know what? I need to be a little bit more well rounded. I'm still real shy. So I started getting into sketch and improv comedy. They have a really great theater environment in Minneapolis. I mean, the education system is pretty damn great, particularly for the creatives and artists. Yeah. And so I got into sketch and improv, but I had this drama background. And when I got out to Hollywood, that comedy door was open and I went in and let's see where we can go. But, you know, a lot of the Minneapolis audiences know about, you know, some of my dramatic work, but we've never seen anything, you know, more on the screen side of it. So this was a really cool opportunity to flex that muscle. And I had an audition for Clint Eastwood.

[Langston Kerman]

He was there.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

No, he saw my tape.

[Langston Kerman]

Okay, I got.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

You sent it in.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

And apparently, you know, he said, that's my. That's my guy. That's who I want.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah, I bet that's how he said it, too.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

That's my guy.

[Langston Kerman]

That's my mother. Give me seats.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

You're that good. So, yeah, we did got to shoot it in Savannah. And, you know, I think people are going to dig this film because it's. There's a moral dilemma. This character, Nicholas Hoult is part of an accident and you wonder if he did it or if he didn't do it. And now he's on the jury of the case of said accident.

[Langston Kerman]

Whoa.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

There's a innocent man being accused of this murder and Nick is possibly the guy who did it. And now he's on the jury.

[David Bory]

A fantasy of mine.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yeah. You've been dreaming about this opportunity your whole life.

[David Bory]

I'm on the jury and I did the shit.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah.

[David Bory]

That's what my porno parody would be if you weren't in it.

[Langston Kerman]

This is an offshoot. David Bore original. Yeah, yeah, I get that.

[David Bory]

No, that's amazing.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yeah. So, yeah, it's such a. It's a. It's a cool. It's a cool, cool way to show this part of my. My creativity. There aren't very many 94 year olds making Hollywood films, you know, to be honest.

[David Bory]

Making anything worthwhile.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

No. Yeah, except dookie in there.

[David Bory]

Even that's brave. You should have seen my 30 year old.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yeah. This 94 year old Dukey's not as good as the 30, but yeah, it was great to. I like that Nicholas Holt, man. He's solid. I like. Here's the thing, you know, sometimes people are great on screen but not so great off camera. And I like how this dude got down. Yeah, right? Yeah. Los Angeles. This is like, what? Why do you think you could talk to anybody any kind of way?

[Langston Kerman]

You're like, bro, I didn't even know about you before this. You should behave differently. People are.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

You would think you would be. People like you. What, you don't like human beings? Do you just think you can just

[Langston Kerman]

talk to them anyway, any kind of way?

[Cedric Yarbrough]

This dude, Nicholas Hoel, he's the real deal, man. I just like how he moved around off camera and on camera he's just. He was. That's dope, man.

[Langston Kerman]

November 1st. Go check out juror number two. All right, let's talk dinosaurs now.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Let's go back.

[Langston Kerman]

I did some research that I want to unpack with you and I'm excited, I guess, to hear that you are pro dinosaur at this point.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yes.

[Langston Kerman]

But I'm curious to hear if any of this maybe changes your position on dinosaurs. So scientists, if you believe science. Scientists maintain.

[David Bory]

I believe science, by the way. Yeah.

[Langston Kerman]

I'm just checking in.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

People think you don't.

[David Bory]

That was crazy. That's colorism on display.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

I'm just saying. I did a survey before we got here. A lot of people are saying, man, I don't fuck with that dude. He Hates science.

[Langston Kerman]

He hates science.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

I don't, but you do.

[David Bory]

No, not at all. I don't know why he did that. Okay, okay, bro. He's going.

[Langston Kerman]

Okay. All right.

[David Bory]

I left him hanging out to dry at one of the DC shows, and I feel like the.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

This is payback.

[David Bory]

Yeah.

[Langston Kerman]

I'm gonna. I'm gonna seek my revenge for the rest of my life. At this point, I understand that scientists do maintain that dinosaurs are real. They say that there isn't some. It would require a massive conspiracy on the part of geologists and paleontologists. Thousands upon hundreds of thousands of people would have to consent to a conspiracy in order for this to be fabricated. Right. That, like, we would all have to agree to lie about this thing in order to get it sold. So they're saying that it's real. However, they do say that all of the dinosaur bones that we've seen up to this point, largely the ones that we find in museums, are fake. That they are models of actual dinosaur bones.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Replicas.

[Langston Kerman]

Replicas of the bones, because the original bones are often too fragile and. Or too expensive to display for the public at mass.

[David Bory]

That's not crazy, though. Are they presented as such? Like, I don't.

[Langston Kerman]

I don't.

[David Bory]

I never. I guess I always thought that. I don't think I ever went to a museum and was like, that's an actual.

[Langston Kerman]

Oh, really?

[David Bory]

Yeah, I don't think. I think I always kind of assumed they would be fake.

[Langston Kerman]

I think I'm a real dumb, dumb. I always thought that they were legit dinosaur bosses.

[David Bory]

You thought that, like, they just had it in the Oak park, in the museum down your street? You just thought they had dinosaurs?

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah, I thought they put a big old dinosaur up there.

[David Bory]

No, I always thought they were more precious than that.

[Langston Kerman]

I will say, where'd you fall?

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Do you also feel that, you know. You know those one exhibits where they have, like, human remains and then you can see layers of human. 100% Dealey deals. Do you feel like that's a real human being in there?

[Langston Kerman]

Well, you know, what I can tell you is that they had that humans exhibit that they used to tour. I don't know if you remember that exhibit, but for years they had that exhibit where they had all these bodies and bones and muscles, all that they were using. The bodies. This is fucked up. The bodies of Chinese prisoners.

[David Bory]

I did.

[Langston Kerman]

The cadavers that they had collected from Chinese prisoners basically became the. The samples that ultimately were those. So, yes, I believe that. But it. It makes you sad afterwards when you find out why?

[Cedric Yarbrough]

That is. That's. That's. That's terrible. That's absolutely terrible. That's absolutely terrible.

[Langston Kerman]

So I think.

[David Bory]

Why would we do that?

[Langston Kerman]

Because we could.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yeah.

[Langston Kerman]

You know what I mean? I think that's the danger of the human experience, is that we'll pretty much do whatever we can if you make it available to us. Yeah.

[David Bory]

It's been proven.

[Langston Kerman]

There was no accountability. Nobody was gonna be like, hey, where's my. Where's my rapist uncle? Whatever? So they just.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

We did do a bit on Reno 911 where we had the exhibit of Kenny Rogers bones, but. And we did it with the consent of the Kenny Rogers family. He did our show back in the day.

[Langston Kerman]

I was about to say, he was on the show.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

He was so dope. He was so funny and with it. And so when we had this idea of, you know, doing Kenny Rogers, the exact.

[Langston Kerman]

That's so cool.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Touring Kenny Rogers, they're like, yeah, that's cool. Asian bones. That's terrible. Yeah.

[Langston Kerman]

It gets dark.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

I guess I never thought of. Are these bones really real or not? I guess I thought they were fake, but I didn't really put any real thought into it. That makes sense.

[Langston Kerman]

So one of the reasons, besides just the expense of it and also the danger of them falling apart or being damaged, one of the reasons that they use fake bones is because they say they have to fill in the blanks oftentimes for parts of the dinosaur that are missing.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Right.

[Langston Kerman]

That, like, when you pull these fossils from the earth, you're not necessarily getting a full assemblage of every bone that correlates with this dinosaur. You're getting bits and pieces, and then they gotta piece the puzzle together. Thus, they use fake bones to sort of fill in the blanks. This is where I get curious because. And I do believe that dinosaurs are real, but I start to go, well, if you're piecing these bad boys together like a puzzle, how do we know you pieced that puzzle together the way that puzzle was meant to be pieced together?

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yeah. Yeah. And how do we know you're not filling it in with Asian bone?

[Langston Kerman]

Come on, little Chinese man leg in there.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Put that Asian.

[David Bory]

Little white collar.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Put that Asian femur in there. Yeah. They won't know.

[Langston Kerman]

Do you know the difference between a dinosaur femur and a Chinese femur?

[David Bory]

I don't know that dinosaurs have femurs.

[Langston Kerman]

My point exactly.

[David Bory]

I feel like I know what human bones look like enough yet. I think that you're playing yourself out. Come on, brother.

[Langston Kerman]

We were on the same team. And then you turned on me again. No. You saw it.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

I did.

[Langston Kerman]

I did. He's got a nasty attitude.

[David Bory]

Come on, man.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Fuck Almond Joy.

[Langston Kerman]

You don't mean that.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

I'm on your side, dog. You don't mean that. Thank you. I don't. You're right. You right. You're right. I can't wait for home.

[Langston Kerman]

Enjoy.

[David Bory]

Relax.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

I love them. They're delicious. Yeah.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Filling in bones, that is. Bam. You know what? We're diabolical. We are. Let's just face it. We do some crazy, crazy shit. This is why, you know, it's better and safer. This is why. My mom was a Jehovah's Witness. She wanted to stay away from all the crazy.

[David Bory]

Look what happens when you dig into dinosaurs. She was like, know what?

[Cedric Yarbrough]

I don't want to do much of it.

[David Bory]

I am out there and I appreciate it.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

I understand it, Ma.

[Langston Kerman]

I get that religion gives you organization. It gives you a system, a bunch of rules that you can follow. And if you don't, you're loosey goosey on the Internet. Suddenly you're accusing dinosaurs of having little Chinese femurs. And that's not right.

[David Bory]

You can't be a loose man out here. I recently just understood. It's true, bro. Nobody wants you to be, like, an old loose man.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

No. No, you don't.

[David Bory]

You gotta be affiliated to something.

[Langston Kerman]

You gotta tie to something.

[David Bory]

No, I recently realized. I was thinking about that religion thing recently, where I finally got it. Where I was like, the point isn't. Even if it's real or not. It doesn't even. I. I was such a stickler about. How could you believe that? It's like, who fucking cares? Just make a decision. That's life. Yeah.

[Langston Kerman]

You commit to something.

[David Bory]

The point is. Yeah, the point is a commitment. The point is having a rules to live by. Whether or not it's real is like. Because I really used to think that, like, everybody involved in religion believed wholeheartedly what that was. And now I'm like, all right, I'll fuck around and go Jehovah's Witness. Maybe I.

[Langston Kerman]

You know, maybe they'll put you out pretty fast.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yeah. They'll sniff you out.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah. They're not.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

But, you know, the thing is, it's about structure, you know, because like you said, you don't want to be a loose loosey goosey out here and in. And I don't know if it's wilder then or wilder now. There were no borderlines. There were no set of rules. We were figuring it Out. Oh yeah, you can't murder someone or no, you can't eat ham or this meat will kill you. But now with AI and every. It is even. Is it wilder or not? As you know. I don't know. I don't know.

[Langston Kerman]

But I think to the AI question, what we would benefit from is a legit agreement as a society on. These are the rules with these things, right? This is where we'd be taking it too far for our human existence. And instead, because we're loosey goosey out here, we're like, nah, just build the technology and let people decide. And that shouldn't be the case.

[David Bory]

It's always going to end bad.

[Langston Kerman]

Some of these Internet websites should not exist.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Should not exist.

[Langston Kerman]

I shouldn't be able to communicate with everybody.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yeah. I already feel like.

[David Bory]

Shouldn't be able to watch Family Guy pornography.

[Langston Kerman]

Come on.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yeah, the robot porn that you'll be watching.

[Langston Kerman]

Come on, bro.

[David Bory]

I've already been.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

I'm already mad at you for what I know that you will do. I know that you will do it. There needs to be structure.

[David Bory]

Get it? I like real pussy.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

But robot pussy, I've.

[David Bory]

I've struggled.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

You want to see it?

[David Bory]

I want to find it.

[Langston Kerman]

I don't want.

[David Bory]

I don't want to. It's the same reason I don't want to try heroin, man. I get it. It's probably the best. I don't need the best. I need a good C plus, baby. I'm trying to live for a while, you know what I mean? I don't need A plus pussy,

[Cedric Yarbrough]

man. You reveal a lot on this show, huh?

[David Bory]

That's really the point.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

C plus pussy. What is. What is C?

[David Bory]

That's not fair.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

That's not.

[Langston Kerman]

This man has a lover.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

I want B. Yeah, you want me. Want better.

[David Bory]

But like, I don't need, like, I don't. I don't need whatever a robot can do to my dick. I don't need that. I like life, you know what I mean? I like engaging with people. I like interacting. I like the difficulties and whatever within that. Sure. I don't need life to be so easy that a robot just runs it for me.

[Langston Kerman]

Very brave, man. Let me ask you this,

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Man. Your segues are killer.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah, I agree. I'm the best in the biz, Cedric. One of the things that then got me thinking about this question of are we arranging the dinosaurs exactly as they should be is how much do I actually know about dinosaurs? And it got me thinking specifically about the brontosaurus. You brought up the brontosaurus earlier. And as it turns out, I don't know if you know this, the brontosaurus ain't a real dinosaur. That the brontosaurus is actually an amalgamation of some other dinosaurs. An apatosaurus is one of them. And then there's one with the C whose name I always forget. But basically it is a mixture of some of those bones that they then thought was an original dinosaur and later realized, oh, that was just a fucked up apatosaurus that wasn't like its own independent brontosaurus. So the brontosaurus itself has been a lie this entire time. And if they'll lie to us about the brontosaurus, what else will they lie to us about?

[David Bory]

Fluoride. Come on, that sucks. I wish you hadn't told me that. That really unravels everything.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Is that really true?

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah, yeah.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

The brontosaurus is made up.

[Langston Kerman]

The brontosaurus is. Now there are.

[David Bory]

When you say made up though.

[Langston Kerman]

Yep.

[David Bory]

I feel like you're making it sounds a little broader than like there was a general. Like, what are the differences between what we thought was the brontosaurus and like the one with the sea that you couldn't.

[Langston Kerman]

So that's the thing. It's not made up. And this is where we should be clear. It's not made up with like malicious intent.

[David Bory]

I don't even mean that. I mean physically, what are the similar.

[Langston Kerman]

Well, that I don't, you know, it's like when people are differentiating between like species like the ostrich and the emu. I, I don't know how to break down specifically all the differences, but I do know that there is a technical difference.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Right.

[David Bory]

But if you come to me and you say emu and you say you thought an emu was an ostrich, I won't feel as tricked as if you were like, I thought an emu was a fucking giraffe. You understand what I'm saying?

[Langston Kerman]

But that's my point is I think that it's less about them being like, oh, we're gonna trick people, and more, they legitimately thought this dinosaur was real for a long time and then later found out, oh, that's not a different thing. That's just a thing we thought was its own subsex species, whatever. The brontosaurus, not real. Here's the other thing. I didn't know dinosaurs for the most part were warm blooded. I thought they were cold blooded.

[David Bory]

They're not reptiles.

[Langston Kerman]

No. Well, they are, but they're like warm blooded reptiles, which also explains why they always had to be Roaming all the time, you know what I mean? Like most cold blooded animals, they just kind of sit there until they have to hunt and they have to be heated all the time. Dinosaurs were always on the move and part of that is because they were warm blooded. Large lizards essentially. We don't know a lot about these creatures.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

I think I kind of assumed that they weren't. I kind of, I think I did a lot. Yeah.

[Langston Kerman]

Okay.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Because, because of that, because of their hunting, because of their, you know, there are a lot of them that, you know, eat plants. But there was so many of them that were hunter, you know, hunters that needed blood. I guess I just assumed that a lot of them were warm blooded. I guess they're just smarter is what I'm saying. That's what I'm really.

[Langston Kerman]

There's like this natural intelligence.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

I got it like that. Even though we weren't supposed to. They were fake in our house, by the way. My mom's not a Jehovah's Witness anymore.

[Langston Kerman]

Oh, she got out.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Oh really? She found. We got her a laptop and she was able to look up a lot of this stuff up herself. And she was like, you know what? I'm sorry I fucked up your childhood, man.

[Langston Kerman]

That's so nice.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yeah, yeah, no, it was nice for her to go, okay, you know what? Yeah, that wasn't right. That wasn't real.

[Langston Kerman]

She's like, Cedric, did you know I'm a Libra? This is crazy. I'm learning so much. This is cool. Thanks for that laptop. So the other part of this that I got excited about in the research and this is.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

We're not going to rap on that. I thought it was a really nice goodbye. We're going to talk more about diet. Okay, that's. I ain't got nothing to do.

[David Bory]

Yeah, this feels great.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

No, I'm joking. Go ahead.

[Langston Kerman]

Bro.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Bro.

[Langston Kerman]

The other part that got me excited was the feathers. Feathers are a very recent discovery inside of dinosaurs. Or at least it feels recent to me. I, you know, I was a Jurassic park kid. I remember seeing it in the theater with my, my dad. You know what I mean? Sitting in the fucking theater. And as far as I knew, there were no feathered dinosaurs. They all butt naked lizard. That was.

[David Bory]

They're way sexier without the feathers.

[Langston Kerman]

Way sexier without the feathers. Okay, then take your time.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yes. No, because I don't want to go. Huh? I'm smarter than you. Because I always thought of that. They had feathers. But are we.

[Langston Kerman]

This whole time you thought they had feathers?

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yeah, like there's the pterodactyl, the emu. What are we talking about?

[Langston Kerman]

That's a regular bird.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Before the dodo. Yeah, yeah. Like, those guys had feathers. Guys like, but don't. Are we talking about, like, did like, are we talking about T. Rex? Did T. Rexes have feathers?

[Langston Kerman]

T. Rex have feathers?

[David Bory]

Some of the. Yes.

[Langston Kerman]

Raptors had feathers.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Ah, okay.

[Langston Kerman]

I thought we didn't know birds had

[David Bory]

feathers, but I think we're broke.

[Langston Kerman]

Come on.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Well, that's what it sounded like, but I've never heard a T. Rex head.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah, they have feathers.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Okay.

[Langston Kerman]

According to science, not smarter than you.

[David Bory]

If you see the renderings, it is very unsexy.

[Langston Kerman]

It's disturbing.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Oh, wow. Really?

[Langston Kerman]

It's troubling shit to see.

[David Bory]

There's not like enough feathers to be beautiful.

[Langston Kerman]

Beautiful.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Langston Kerman]

And that's part of it is that they say that the feathers were not for flight. They, they didn't serve necessarily that function. They were for warmth and they were for like beautification so that you could attract mates and shit. The same way that like David Attenborough, he talks about them little birds dancing around and they, they would flap their wings.

[David Bory]

Blue footed booby.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah, the blue footed booby. The T. Rex was doing blue footed booby shit. To be able to attract their mate.

[David Bory]

But also with. I was just gonna say with the feathers. When you see them with the feathers, they do very much look like a creature in flux. Does that make sense? Like it looks like mid evolutionary. I'm like, this is clearly something on its way to something else.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

On its way to something else.

[David Bory]

Yeah.

[Langston Kerman]

Which I do think maybe that's the distinction between some of these periods that when they say like the Triassic period versus the prehistoric.

[David Bory]

You know what I mean?

[Langston Kerman]

Like, that probably is like, oh, they had a bunch of feathers around here, but they weren't. Were.

[David Bory]

Now they're like half naked over here.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah, they were ass out over here.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yeah, yeah. Cold and shivering.

[Langston Kerman]

Can't wait till I get some feathers, man.

[David Bory]

You should see me. 600 years ago was pretty.

[Langston Kerman]

We had feathers brothers. We was king.

[David Bory]

We didn't land on Jurassic Park.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yeah, yeah.

[Langston Kerman]

So one of the other the pieces of the feathers, or rather the dinosaurs disappearing. And this is really the big question I asked is why don't we see things that look like dinosaurs today? Right. Like obviously this big similar, right. Birds are descendants of dinosaurs. They're like the closest descendants. We have feathers. But one of the big questions I kept asking is where are the versions of dinosaurs that exist today. Why are animals as big as these big ass bird lizards were back then? And there's a fair amount of research that suggests that when an apocalyptic event happens on a planet and creatures get wiped out, it takes hundreds of millions of years for that type of species to restore itself. That like, the size and scale will not be met again for another hundred thousand or a hundred million years.

[David Bory]

So they could just be like laying in wait. Like we could be like, oh, it's just a wombat right now.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah, it's gonna evolve into something more awesome. Except that human beings keep fucking that up for the evolutionary experience for every other animal. Because hunting, we keep hunting them and killing them and putting pollutants in the air that keep them from evolving into their best selves.

[David Bory]

Do you believe in like residual dinosaurs left over, like, you hear about like in the drc, Makeleo, Mimby and shit like that?

[Langston Kerman]

Whoa. Say more about that.

[David Bory]

Yeah, it's like in a. In a jungle, there were all these people who said that they had seen what they described to be a dinosaur. And like, people went down there to check and they're like, lives in there.

[Langston Kerman]

No, I don't know that I've. I haven't given that any thought. This is the first time hearing that.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yeah, you keep saying that word and I still don't understand.

[David Bory]

It's the best part of the anecdote is the thing, so I gotta really hammer it home so that you know that I know.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

This also kind of makes me think about how, you know, there's some people that still like, okay, so why aren't monkeys evolving right now into this? How come we don't see them turn into humans all of a sudden? That's who we are. You know what I'm saying?

[Langston Kerman]

Great impression of them, by the way.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know exactly who I'm doing. But.

[Langston Kerman]

But I think to that question, the answer that we should be giving is human beings are fucking that up for them. Monkeys could be evolving in an awesome way.

[David Bory]

We could be involved in.

[Langston Kerman]

We could be becoming something better than what we are.

[David Bory]

We're our own worst enemy.

[Langston Kerman]

Damn.

[David Bory]

And isn't that bad?

[Cedric Yarbrough]

What?

[David Bory]

Dump it out. We'll put it behind a paywall.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah, we'll make them earn it.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

I'll show y' all after the show.

[David Bory]

Are you for real?

[Cedric Yarbrough]

No, no, dog.

[David Bory]

That would have been crazy.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

It would have been. That would have been. That would have been really great Hollywood news. You know that, that. Yar, bro, you're honestly witness and he got a tail.

[Langston Kerman]

Thirty years into his career, he admits.

[David Bory]

He finally reveals he didn't want to use it as a crutch in the beginning.

[Langston Kerman]

Right.

[David Bory]

That's it.

[Langston Kerman]

He didn't want any of those handouts

[David Bory]

that you wear when you tail press.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

I want to make it on my own. I'm tailless, damn it.

[David Bory]

You're like a Copa in that way.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

I'm right.

[Langston Kerman]

You.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Langston Kerman]

We're gonna take one more break. We're gonna be back with more Cedric Yarborough. More My Mama Told Me. My Mama Told Me presents The Start the Steal tour. We're very excited about it.

[David Bory]

Yes.

[Langston Kerman]

I'm not about to bite my tongue. We want to sell it out. And the dates are coming up fast, and so if you live in one of these areas, we want you to buy your tickets now. It's all available on our Instagrams, on our websites, on our link three. We'll be in Atlanta on Halloween. October 31st. November 1st, we're in Houston. November 2nd, Austin. November 3rd, Dallas. We're in Brooklyn. On November 7th, we're in Somerville, Massachusetts. It's Boston, bitch. Get over it. November 8th. November 10th, we're in Philly. November 17th, we're in San Francisco. We want y' all to come out. We want y' all to kick it. We will be doing our coveted live show with special guests with just me and David depending on the city. It'll be a great time.

[David Bory]

All that meet and greets. You think Chris Brown has a good meet and greet, bro?

[Langston Kerman]

Let's be clear. I'll take a weird picture with you for free.

[David Bory]

We are back discussing the possibly tailed Cedric Yarborough.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah, right.

[David Bory]

Because I'm still not.

[Langston Kerman]

You're not?

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yeah.

[Langston Kerman]

You're not sure.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

I threw it out there. So. So I don't know.

[Langston Kerman]

This is a podcast about skepticism, and we are skeptics.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yeah. And I also want that on me. I want when you see me now, like, I just saw him in this film, dude, he might have a tail. I want you to be distracted. Not even enjoying my work. Not enjoying the story. I want you thinking he was sitting

[Langston Kerman]

a little funny in that.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[David Bory]

November 1st. Go see if he has a tail.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yeah.

[David Bory]

And then maybe you learn something. You know what I mean?

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Humans evolved, bro. They evolved. Yeah.

[Langston Kerman]

The last little piece of information that I'll throw your way is that we didn't find out. And this is why I'm calling bullshit on your feathers theory. We didn't find out that dinosaurs, in fact, officially did have feathers. Until 1991. Some dinosaur bones were pulled up in China in 1991. That they officially were like, that had feather residue, whatever the fuck. To be able to, like, officially say it now. There was speculation for generations before that, but not until 1991. And so I say all that to say that we know so little about these creatures. And every year it's evolving and more information is coming out. The T. Rex looks like a brand new animal.

[David Bory]

So often he got big arms.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah, it's buff. Swole.

[David Bory]

That's a scary. What's his name? Montrez Laurel. You know what I'm talking? Swole.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Swole. You know what? I also kind of feel like that possible payback, like, you gonna fuck with our bones? These Asians are like, you know, you gonna take our bones? We're gonna show you these feathers. Oh, I like that. Now what?

[David Bory]

We gonna fuck all this shit on display now.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Now, now what?

[Langston Kerman]

We're gonna make your school children look real stupid.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Real, real stupid, you know, get your lick back.

[David Bory]

China.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yeah, yeah. Get it, get it. China.

[Langston Kerman]

Well played, China.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yeah, well played.

[Langston Kerman]

Well. So let's make this official. Where do you fall? Now with all of this information, as it stands to dinosaurs, are you still fully convinced that the dinosaurs, you know, and love remain intact? Have they not been changed at all? Or are you on a different side of the argument?

[Cedric Yarbrough]

I feel like I need to start watching. It was Robert Attenborough.

[Langston Kerman]

David. David.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yeah, David, David. I keep saying Robert David Attenborough. These shows on dinosaurs without the gummies, because I feel like it's filtering out the real information that I really need. I'm just giggling and enjoying. Look at this dumbass dinosaur. I feel like I need to actually really start to really take in this information.

[Langston Kerman]

You gotta lock in. Yeah, I like that. That's a good answer.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Let's lock in a little bit more. I like that, you know, where do you fall? Where do you fall?

[David Bory]

I'm still gonna get high and watch planet Earth. This is amazing.

[Langston Kerman]

And two.

[David Bory]

You ever watch Earth 2? It's very.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

I haven't yet, no.

[David Bory]

Oh, man. Really great. I'm in the same place I always was, pretty firmly in. I think there may have been some, like, liberties taken or whatever, like the brontosaurus thing and stuff. But, yeah, I believe in dinosaurs.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah, I think I do, too. The only other piece of information. I forgot to say this, and this does trouble me, but it doesn't make me not believe in dinosaurs. You apparently can find dinosaur bones everywhere. They existed on every continent. They're available within usually an hour of wherever most people live. You could go and dig up some dinosaur bones. You're not legally allowed to keep the dinosaur bones.

[David Bory]

What if they're on my property?

[Langston Kerman]

You can't keep them. It is illegal.

[David Bory]

Who gon check me, boo?

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yeah, like, do you just tattletown on yourself?

[Langston Kerman]

Like, if you go somewhere and you

[Cedric Yarbrough]

dig up dinosaur bones, bro, you're not supposed to have that. Oh, damn. Okay, dog, here you go.

[Langston Kerman]

Sir, we're gonna need to check your glove compartment for dinosaur bones.

[David Bory]

I know my rights.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Didn't Michael Jackson have bones lying around his?

[David Bory]

I'm sure.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah, I'm sure, probably.

[David Bory]

I think he had a lot of.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Was it just the Elephant Man's bones?

[Langston Kerman]

I think he had the Elephant Man's bones.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Oh, okay. So you can keep human remains?

[Langston Kerman]

You can keep human remains.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Dinosaurs is the problem.

[Langston Kerman]

They can be as freaky as you want, the human remains, but you gotta keep. You give away the dinosaur bones to the government.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

To who?

[David Bory]

To the government in general?

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah, to just the general government.

[David Bory]

I find some bones on my shit, I ain't going, bro.

[Langston Kerman]

And that's part of my problem, is it makes me think that even if dinosaurs are exactly the way that they're presenting them to us, there's a manipulation happening that keeps me from profiting from the dinosaur bones that are being collected. And more importantly, me really knowing. Doing the research directly on site, the way I want to be able to do. If I dig up some bones, I should be able to keep these until I can assemble my own dinosaur and see if it turns out like the ones you tell me they look like.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

I mean, just get the yellow flag with the snake and don't tread on me, dog. It sounds like you really maga it, dawg. Go ahead. Just.

[David Bory]

Honestly, it's my favorite.

[Langston Kerman]

They got some good points.

[David Bory]

It's my favorite part. Part of his personality, right? Yeah, I love it when he's like.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

When he's like, the government.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Don't tread on you. Yeah, right.

[Langston Kerman]

About dinosaur bones.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

About the bones, bro.

[David Bory]

Yeah. I mean, we're in a longer conversation. It would get to other stuff.

[Langston Kerman]

Well, I think we did it. Yeah, I think we nailed it.

[David Bory]

This is great.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

We definitely did something.

[Langston Kerman]

Cedric, do you want to tell the people where they can find you and what cool shit you have going on?

[Cedric Yarbrough]

No, no, I want to be left alone. I like that. I come out every once in a while. Yeah, Y' all see me, and then I get the hell up out of here.

[Langston Kerman]

I like that.

[David Bory]

No, that's a Good pace.

[Cedric Yarbrough]

Yeah. If you find me, you find me. It's good, you know, Right?

[Langston Kerman]

Bori, what you got?

[David Bory]

I have a place to be found.

[Langston Kerman]

Cool.
