Episode Overview

Alabama rock band The Red Clay Strays — known for their raw, Southern-inflected sound — join Joe for a conversation ranging from band origins to government surveillance, gene editing, and the strange loop of getting famous. The episode opens with the band's name origin (Drew came up with another option they liked too) and their previous podcast appearance on Theo Von's show. The conversation quickly gets philosophical: the endless nature of wanting more money once you start wanting money, CRISPR and the coming era of gene deletion, and the fact that the government can access encrypted apps — illustrated by the intelligence community contacting Tucker Carlson while he was arranging his Putin interview. A thread on why the Book of Enoch was left out of the Torah leads into mysterious markings and strange phenomena, and why certain things are too weird to be hoaxes. The band reflects on creatures of habit and how getting better at anything requires building the right habits first.
