In this episode the Pearlmans address the TokTok trend calling gingers black and address the societal pressures of what it really means to be a redhead.

Obviously, Alex has a lot to say about the subject.

Omg my TikTok algorithm just steered me to redheads are black people right before your podcast dropped .. are you guys spying on me or what?!? 🫣😅🤭

Pearlmania500

I’ve been steeped in this discourse for OVER A WEEK.

Btw my Mom is a red head too and I got her very pale skin so I totally feel not going out on the beach until later.

Hilary Mirelez

hell yeah as a natty ginger i’m so stoked

Uncontrollable_airhorn_kare_bear

We had a redhead guy in our school that everyone accepted as black. Other white peeps would try to bully and call him chuckie. Lets just say that never ended well. He had our back and we had his. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

As the mother of a GingerSurprise™️ child, I have to have her listen to this episode. I know her hair (and freckles, and skin tone) are all things she views negatively because she "can't blend in" High school is fucking rough.

I was holding my red haired niece (who was about 2 at the time) in a mall and some middle aged lady on the other side yelled “oh my god look at that baby!” All I could think was why TF are you screaming and pointing at a toddler you maniac.

Just came here to say I think I know exactly what Stephen Miller looks like- a blobfish out of water. It's pretty striking. I swear I'm not usually so mean, but he's a fascist so... 🤷‍♀️

This is also my son's lot in life. As a redhead, I at least knew about when to go to the beach (very early or after 2) and how much SPF to apply to him (a LOT and ALL THE TIME). He didn't get a sunburn until high school band camp.

Short_Range_Attack_Chicken

I made the huge mistake of going out on a sunny day in the winter with snow and ended up with horrible sun poisoning. I was young kid and didn’t realize that the sun reflected off the snow giving me a double dose of sun. 😵‍💫

TwrexxSmash

I had a kidnap VHS! It wasn't through my school though. It was a free service from our local Blockbuster.

Alanna

Red velvet cupcake or cinnamon cousin? Those are the options? I prefer the latter, but that’s because I don’t particularly care for red velvet cupcakes/cake and cream cheese frosting. 🤷🏾‍♀️

I feel the need to mention… and I think Alex hinted at it when he brought up the Amazon LOTR redhead and black woman comment… Black women having an affinity for readheads is known reoccurrence. So I find it amusing that this all started from a black woman. Also that this trend went viral around the time of the movie Sinners and the discussions that are coming out from that. It makes sense to me that this conversation would pop up too. It’s been a long time brewing. Something all this made me realize is that my affinity for redheads started with Anne of Green Gables (as a kid) and it really makes sense that it comes down to relatability and shared similar experiences in being othered.

tach.o

We had red velvet cake as our wedding cake 😂😂

yondertallguy

Hey Mr. 3rd, the main podcast audio is so much quieter than the bumpers and theme music. Idk what system you’re using but could the podcast audio be louder to match the theme volume? Thanks for everything you do!

Amber N

I’ve noticed that too. I have to turn it up to 100 to hear them talking and then I get blasted with the bumpers 😅

BugTheLady_Alissa

I baked a carrot cake while listening to this episode only to realize I should’ve made a red velvet smh.

Alex’s Last Braincell, Queef

Are red beards included? I’ve been called a soulless ginger since I started growing facial hair even though my head hair is blonde.

BugNotAFeature

Patreon apparently has a thing now where you have to toggle an RSS switch when posting a podcast, or else it doesn’t go out on the feed—so FYI this didn’t go out to patron feeds on podcast apps! Another podcast I follow ran into the same thing.

Sit n stitch

2 things: My sweet cousin is a red haired lady named Karen. It’s so funny bc she is the anti-Karen but is very Karen presenting 🤣 Left Handed Redheads get a special invite. Not only are they redheads stepchildren, they are of the devil bc they’re left handed. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Katrina_McBean_Kerfuffle_Kween

As a bottle redhead (naturally a dark blonde) I view the sun as an evil aging machine! I work HARD to stay pasty.

Tara Legaski

I made a VHS Kidnapping video too! (Southeastern MA)

Pearlmania500

I just updated the post! W always have that toggled on, I have no idea why it decided to turn it off this time!

Joshua In NC

I fuckin love a Red Velvet Cupcake. Wait Grok is this true...

Lora Dailey

Lmao love the Barbara Gordon shoutout! I’m “friends with” the Warner Bros/ DC official Batgirl at Six Flags Magic Mountain.

Arlo the Average

My friend’s dad made the joke that he used to throw rocks at redheads… in front of his red-haired wife… (I will now be referring to my redhead bf as my red velvet cupcake though)

Nixie

My ears perked up when I heard that deity’s name because it sounded like Brigid. So I did a little digging to confirm that Brigitte Samedi (aka Maman Brigitte) is the equivalent of Brigid of Kildare (aka Saint Brigid of Ireland) and she is a red-haired deity in Voodoo. I found that so interesting and thought you all might, too! Here’s a link to an article about her: http://www.snakeandbone.com/blog/maman-brigitte-from-ireland-to-new-orleans

My son works for a farm services company. They started importing white South Africans back during the first Trump administration. The company pays $30,000 to bring each of these men in. They house them, and these men are highly skilled in agricultural trades and make the company tons of money. However, to renew their current contracts, the Trump administration wants twice as much now.

Ambalam

Just started this episode but had to stop and comment that I’m listening this to after someone messed it up for everyone after you said “there’s always one person that screws it up” 🙄😂

Lisa Paglicci

I could fuck up a red velvet cupcake rn. Also, cinnamon is the top tier, best spice and I will not take criticism, Grok.

Jonathan Scratch

Fuck yeah, Alex! Represent My Adventures with Superman Superman. Best damn representation of Superman and all those characters and basically a leftist backlash to Snyder's cinservo codes myopic bullshit! Also, Red Velvet Cupcakes are delicious

deviled_bells

Hey Mr Third. The last several episodes starting from your first interview have been too quiet. When listening to the podcast where platforms choose the ads, the ads get blasted into my ear drums because I had the sound up on my speakers at max volume.

RaiHoneybb 🦆

Lmao woke terminators would be funny 😂

Jennifer

Hey Red Velvet Cupcake! I remember there being a program at school where kids could get pictures & fingerprinted in case they were ever kidnapped.

✨Sparkling Misandry✨

Agreed, the sound level seems to have gone down again. My request - Turn everything up, then turn Alex down a bit so he's similar to Mrs. P 🤣

Desantis’s.Sleep.Paralysis.Demon.

My husband is a half assed red head. He's bald AF but was Eminem bleach blonde and went bald at 23 😂 only his beard is red. He looks EXACTLY like a younger Bill Burr complete with the New England attitude. Red Velvet Cupcakes are delectable.

Spicynoodlebucket

OMG I just listened to you guys on God Awful Movies! My two favorite podcasts coming together!

KingCoreyBear

I have a friend that hates red velvet cupcakes. I'm gonna have to have a heart to heart with her now. 👀

Spicynoodlebucket

You were so funny! I had to pause a couple of times to avoid weird looks in the office from snickering a bunch😅

Always Wright

Thor is described as having red hair in the Eddas/Sagas but media portrayals always make him blonde. That is a redhead erasure I’m mad about!

Gayelordoftherings

I just gleefully sent this to all my siblings (7/10 of whom are gingers, yes we are all ex quiverfull)

Bubsey_Wubsey_Has_No_Hair

Guy I’ve been seeing is a red head. I sent him a text asking if he had heard about this and he said that he’s always been black from the waist down. And you know, he’s not wrong so there might be something legit to this whole thing. 😉

CheeseDizMilk

Red velvet cupcake!!! Is it true!!!? Hahahahahaha

MillennialCatMom

Is it true Grok that Red Velvet Cupcakes are the superior cupcake?

jessimightpanic

I'm here to say that red velvet cupcakes are overrated.

Steffohknee

Red velvet cupcakes 🧁 also love that you brought up ms Hayley Williams, black people do not play when it comes to her and paramore lol

Lady Alicia

Red Velvet cupcakes are my favourite, especially with cream cheese icing. My father is a blazing orange redhead and my husband's siblings are all redheads. I was so hoping our kids would have red hair but even with both sides of our family, they have brown hair so far.

i'm slowly listening to all the older episodes and i'm almost all the way caught up but i would often argue that something similar when john boyega was cast as a black storm trooper. or when a black person was cast in the mandalorian. or when anyone other than a white man was cast in any star wars project. SO YOURE SAYING THAT IN A FANTASY WORLD WHERE CERTAIN PEOPLE CAN MOVE THINGS WITH THEIR MINDS... WITH LITTLE GREEN WRINKLY GUYS AND GIANT FURRY DUDES AND LITTLE BLUE FREAKS WITH WINGS... THAT ALL OF THAT IS PERFECTLY FINE BUT ITS SUDDENLY A STEP TOO FAR WHEN A HUMAN PERSON WITH DARK SKIN OR A UTERUS OR GOD FORBID BOTH AT THE SAME TIME GETS TO HAVE THEIR STORY TOLD. THATS WHEN IT CROSSES THE LINE BUT NOT THAT LITTLE FREAK SALACIOUS B CRUMB
