Red String: A Conspiracy Podcast

40 Episodes

45 minutes | Feb 17, 2022
Red String: Reloaded
Hey, guys. Remember us? We did too, don't you worry! We just had one tiny problem: Jean almost died. As much as we'd love to just blame Steve Harvey, we're instead gonna tell you the whole story. 
57 minutes | Sep 2, 2021
Other World Kingdom/The Muffin Man/Hobby Lobby Smuggling Scandal
Long time no see! Sammy gets submissive and breedable, Zev gets into baked goods and also murder, and Jean gets wildly confused by the Epic of Gilgamesh. Also, Hobby Lobby's founder is descended from a BDSM slave. We're not sorry to break it to you.
59 minutes | Jul 29, 2021
The Curse of the Colonel/Demi-Rose/DB Cooper
All three of us, flesh and blood, are here to give you an episode! Sammy tries to speak both Japanese and Baseball, Zev tries to understand what the Daily Mail is talking about, and Jean tries to reference Buzzfeed Unsolved but instead references Loki. Also, DB Cooper just wanted to return some hands and some glasses without those horny FBI agents noticing. Please let him.
48 minutes | Jul 16, 2021
The Noid/Maraschino Cherries (ft. Robot Jean!)
What do you mean, “different?” This is just another regular episode. Sammy adds to our roster of unnerving mascots, Zev puts a cherry on top, and Jean adds their classic witty color commentary, like always. Oh that Jean! By the way, you can’t avoid the dark, non-alcoholic origins of Domino’s foulest little man... 
53 minutes | Jul 8, 2021
Paint Drying/Potoooooooo/Pliny the Elder
A normal episode? Sometimes we CAN do our job, it turns out. Sammy lectures about film, Zev teases us with the idea of vegetables, and Jean talks about another little ancient man. Also, the sentence “hidden pliny horse knowledge” gets uttered on this one, which is how you know it’s good. 
20 minutes | Jun 24, 2021
String-Along 2! (Another Red String Mistake)
Sometimes, life decides to nerf your schedules. That's just how it is when you try to get a group of three people to sit down for at least an hour and talk to each other, ya know? Anyway, Sammy and Jean are here– briefly– to answer some absolutely-not-pressing questions. We're giving you an episode, damn it. It's what the Muppets would have wanted.
58 minutes | Jun 17, 2021
Toast Sandwich/Nauru/Pirate Code
Another week, another theory. Sammy invests in lots and lots of bread, Zev invests in seagull poop and an even shittier musical, and Jean invests in some new boat-- or, um, house-- rules. Also, unlock gay rights through phosphate mining.
58 minutes | Jun 10, 2021
Klatu/Dorito Pope/Dick Fosbury
Hi, everyone! Sammy talks about the Beatles (again), Zev lauds a religious icon, and Jean double-entendres their way through the Olympics. Also, a Canadian band gets inspiration from an American athlete in Mexico City to evenutally create an inernational meme. We're going global, baby.
30 minutes | May 27, 2021
String-Along! (A Red String Mistake)
Um, so we (more specifically, Sammy) made an oopsie while recording this week, so we decided to just play a fun "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon"-esque game instead. We randomly shuffled our old past topics into a generator and we have to try and connect two of them to each other in six steps or less. Enjoy the chaos!

30th Special: Creepypasta Conspiracy!
It's our 30th episode, and you know what that means! This time, as a belated birthday present to himself, Zev gives us the internet's most true, most spooky stories, which we connect. Warnings for a fair bit of describing body horror/gore on this one, folks. We also talk about Funko Pops for way too long, which is scary enough in itself. Maybe try being a window about it? The creepypastas we read: https://www.creepypasta.com/laughing-jack/#content (gore/body horror warning) https://www.quotev.com/story/3887384/Short-Scary-Stories/18 https://www.creepypasta.com/the-backrooms/#content
58 minutes | May 13, 2021
Kanye v. Taylor/Neil Breen/Ea-Nasir
Welcome to Red String Thursdays, gang. Sammy dishes some decade-old gossip, Zev explains exactly why we shouldn't quit our day jobs, and Jean wants to speak to the manager. Also, imma let you finish, but this is all the ghost council's (and one oompa-loompa's) fault.
51 minutes | Apr 27, 2021
Chibi-Robo/Big Bug Man/Brooklyn Street Circuit
You're gonna want to spend a happy point on this one. Sammy becomes a life guru via poorly-received video game, Zev becomes a film snob (briefly), and Jean admires a feat of human cooperation. Also, Marlon Brando, queen of gender, and some friendly aliens are responsible for car racing. 
45 minutes | Apr 20, 2021
Guerilla Gardening/The Most Unwanted Song/Silly Bandz
We hope you're ready. Sammy mispronounces a word while decrying some menaces, Zev finds out what music we like and then gives us the opposite of that, and Jean reminisces about childhood. Also, garden to fight back against Reagan. And do all your shopping at Walmart.
33 minutes | Apr 13, 2021
Rube Waddell/Nail Files/JINX?
We make Red String history this week: for the first time, Sammy and Jean come in with the same topic. So, Jean talks about a wacky baseball man, Zev launches a personal vendetta with help from a sexist beauty blog, and Sammy brings it full circle with a conspiracy of our own. Also, please don't file your nails if you're allergic to onions. Blame Rube and the Boohbahs, not us.
39 minutes | Apr 6, 2021
The Mad Pooper/Thick Water/Vocaloid
Are you down with the thickness? Sammy haunts us with a shitty tale, Zev makes our drinks into Pixar moms, and Jean's just really excited about Hatsune Miku. Also, the world's first ever human-to-digital-pop-sensation transformation was... a little grosser than expected. We talk about poop a lot this episode, alright? We're only sort of sorry. 
39 minutes | Mar 30, 2021
Pepe the King Prawn/Bozo the Clown/Tulipomania
Miss us? Sammy's got a fishy friend, Zev's got a faceful of makeup and some wonderful orange hair, and Jean's got an economic crisis that may or may not have happened. Also, the Muppets are immortal because the Netherlands became independent from Spain. And Chuck E Cheese has a new husband. 
45 minutes | Mar 16, 2021
Dybbuks/The 1904 Olympic Marathon/The End Poem
We begin with a weird email promo and it goes downhill from there. Sammy opens the door for more playful self-antisemitism, Zev just wants us to stop and eat some peaches, and Jean does some poetry reading. Also, the same spirit is responsible for a cursed Olympic event, a beautiful piece of writing, and the band U2.
48 minutes | Mar 9, 2021
Tinder/Gnomes/Peppa Pig
Happy Tuesday, everyone. Sammy talks about the world's sketchiest dating app, Zev talks about everyone's favorite lawn decoration, and Jean talks about the most legendary pig. Also, we leak movies now, and we've got the Snyder cut of Gnomeo and Juliet 3. 
63 minutes | Mar 2, 2021
Drop Bears/The Axeman/Purble Place
We get our first guest host! Sammy speed-dials a real Australian while eating Cap'n Crunch, Zev jazzes it out with a strongly-worded letter, and Jean gets nostalgic about a computer game while their mic quality dies. Oh, and watch out for some thick asscheeks. Wouldn't want you to get murdered. Thank you to Zak for answering our question! You can find him on Instagram and Twitter @therooneymusic or at linktr.ee/RooneyMusic :)
75 minutes | Feb 23, 2021
Red String Gets Astrological!: A 20th Episode Special
It's our twentieth episode, so we've got a special one for you! Jean reads everyone's astrological birth charts, and we get... really lost in the weeds. We apologize to any women named Compton, but maybe you should apologize to us, too.
