1
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie and Samantha, and welcome to stuff

2
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: I've never told to your protection of I Hire Radio's

3
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: House to part. I want to start this episode off

4
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,319
Speaker 1: with a very important question. I'm gonna what's your favorite color?

5
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,439
Speaker 1: So I vary. I'm one of those I could never

6
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: really decide exactly what I liked. But I went from

7
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 1: yellow to red to purple within the space of how

8
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: much time I want to say, So that's always interchanges.

9
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 1: It's acorn to the day you switch out, I do.

10
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: And those are the three that I usually go back to.

11
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,480
Speaker 1: But every now and then that the Royal Blue will

12
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: come in. But typically those three about you, what is

13
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: your favorite color? Mine is green, but it's very closely

14
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: followed by blue, very closely followed by blue. I remember

15
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: that question where it I used to do this thing.

16
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: I've probably done it to you because I do it

17
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 1: every time I'm tipsy, where I asked like a series

18
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: of questions and then I tell you what the questions

19
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 1: really mean. You've done that with me. Oh, I'll do it,

20
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you all about yourself. You have so

21
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: many comes on your tipsy Maybe it's just it's a

22
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: specific mood okay, But one of the questions is, imagine

23
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: you're in a room and it's different shades of your

24
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: favorite color. How do you feel. Oh, it's according to

25
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: that color, so it would change based on the color.

26
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: Oh that's interesting. Well, then my test is out the window.

27
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: But it's also a silly test. But by what would

28
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: have been meant? Um So for me, when I think

29
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: of a room in various shades of my favorite color,

30
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: I feel anxious and uncomfortable. And it's supposed to represent

31
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: your state of mind. Oh, I got you, because if

32
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,559
Speaker 1: you're in a good state of mine, your favorite color

33
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: will calm me down or you'll feel nice happy. This

34
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: is all nonsense. It spieways actual. So one of my offices,

35
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: I got to paint it and I painted it yellow,

36
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: and I meant to do it like in a pale,

37
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: like calming, not over the top, but it was so

38
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: bright that I had to keep the light off. I

39
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: didn't realize that bright. I was also next to like

40
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: two windows, so it wasn't awful, but it was just

41
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: so brightly. Yeah, I'm not happy enough for this right now.

42
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 1: I can't handle this right now, and that we just

43
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: turn it off and just it in darkness and the

44
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: yellow glow of the fields about right now, Yeah, okay,

45
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: this color psychology is passing. My little brother's dream when

46
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: he was growing up was um bright yellow and then red.

47
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: At one point I thought that was kind of weird.

48
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: In mine was like a melancholy blue I call it.

49
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: My older brothers was white. All right. I was gonna

50
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: say my I think my parents kept my room when

51
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 1: I was growing up a mov or a cream color

52
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 1: very seventies, very seventies, like, because you know, avocado green

53
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: was at my bathroom color, so it was very fair seventies.

54
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: So for a girl, that had to be mauv and cream. Well,

55
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: today we are talking about a very specific color, and

56
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: that is red. Red my other favorite color. That's right, um.

57
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: And a long time ago, when I was the video

58
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: producer for this very show, we did a video about

59
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: the power of red and why is red kind of

60
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: this sexy, dangerous power color, but we didn't do a

61
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: podcast on it. So here it is boom and it's

62
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: inspired partly by the woman in Red from the Matrix,

63
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: which I just rewatched within the past two days for

64
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: the first time in many many years. Held up sad

65
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: what happened to it, but held, look I've had I've

66
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: watched it, like I think I watched it every two years,

67
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: just on instinct. I just keep watching it because it

68
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: was one of it was it came out I think

69
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: my senior year of high school. That inventates me so

70
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: shut up, um, But it was our group. It was

71
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: our favorite movie. We would watch it all the time

72
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: and quote it all the time, which is so ridiculous because,

73
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: of course none of us are as cool as Kiana

74
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: Monotone Kiano Reeves. Of course I love Kiano Reeves. If

75
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: you're listening to this, come say hay to me. Well,

76
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: I similar to my Ryan Gosling thing. He I was

77
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: on that train before you became super trendy. Yeah, you

78
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: and I had a debate and you won every bit

79
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: of it. I took a picture, one of those polaroid

80
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 1: like print out pictures of me with KIANU Reeves in

81
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: the background. Right, that's how terrible my crush was on him.

82
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: And from the matrix. And then I I won't say

83
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: what the email address was, but I have a very

84
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 1: embarrassing my first email address. Can you at least give

85
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: us the beginning. It's a little bit it has angel

86
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: in it. Oh no, you probably guess it from there.

87
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: But um, anyway, it was my favorite. And this is

88
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 1: an accident or being accidentally timely, because they just announced

89
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: that the fourth MOVI be there's going to be a

90
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: fourth movie. The original actors of the Matriix. Yes, seriously,

91
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: the third one was so bad, well that I described

92
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: it from my memories. That's how bad. Super producer Andrew

93
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 1: and I were just talking about that. Um, he hasn't

94
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: even seen it at all, the first one, the third one. Um.

95
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, so they just announced that and then also

96
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 1: it's the twentieth anniversary of the Matrix. But anyway, part

97
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 1: of the Matrix is this woman in red, the simulated

98
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: character that mouse, who is the youngest character in their

99
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: little little crew. Um, he designed it her. It's complicated

100
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: to talk about this movie if you haven't seen it,

101
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 1: but we'll try. He designed her and is obsessed with her,

102
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: and her presence is used as a distraction during the

103
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: agent training program. So the agents are bad, right. The

104
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,679
Speaker 1: training program is a simulation where they take in neo

105
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: Kana reviews. Look at the agent can take over anybody,

106
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: even this sexy lady in a retro us and she's

107
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 1: not real. No, she's not real. Your reality is not real.

108
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: That's kind of the basis of the movie reality is

109
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: not real. Um. And this, this woman in red is

110
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: very flirty. She's got like big bouncy blonde hair, very sexual,

111
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: and she stands in start contrast to the rest of

112
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: the crowd here are kind of in neutral black. Right. Yeah, um,

113
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: you know, stops to take her in, looks away, and

114
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: Morpheus says, look I get and you know, turns back

115
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 1: to have an agent pointing a gun in his face.

116
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: So it's a very kind of iconic. He just calls

117
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: her like, were you even were you paying attention? Or

118
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 1: you're looking at the woman in the red dress? And then, um,

119
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: if we look at Battlestar Galactica six, um, she's a

120
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: pretty big example of someone wearing red that's iconic and

121
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 1: very in contrast to everyone else that she's also very sexual.

122
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: I believe it's been a long time since I've seen

123
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 1: that show, but I believe she often used sexual reality

124
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: as her power. I've never seen that show. Well, I

125
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: believe that is true. The lady in the sixth sense

126
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: that killed her stepdaughter spoiler alerts also why I wear

127
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: red to a funeral. That's very suspicious. Um. Yeah. And

128
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: then that rabbit, lady, are you talking about Jessica Rabbit, who,

129
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: by the way, is not a rabbit. I just just

130
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: to clarify, She's not a rabbit in this cartoon movie Hybrid,

131
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: which I love. We I've talked a lot about Roger

132
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: Rabbit in the last two weeks. I feel like, well,

133
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: between like talking about the dance to talking about people

134
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: were dressing up as that when we were at disney

135
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: World and I was like, oh, look, that's Jessica Rabbit.

136
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: You're like Samantha will challenge you to the Roger Rabbit dance,

137
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: which I didn't know it was a thing. Yeah. I

138
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: tried to get a couple of people do it. A

139
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: couple of people did do it. I did. I feel

140
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: like I won that one. I think you did too,

141
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: um I. And also on a personal level, I have

142
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: a red dress that when I wear it, nearly everyone

143
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: brings it up and not like a creep be way.

144
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: I always are just kinda like, look at that red dress. Um.

145
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: And some mentioned there's somebody in the office is always

146
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: like the woman in red from the Matrix. UM. Since

147
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: we were talking about clowns. Recently, I thought about the

148
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: red balloon and it right, And that's really significant because

149
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: it's floating around randomly as a taunting Yeah, and that's

150
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: not of the examples we've given. Most of these have

151
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,559
Speaker 1: been sexy. But that's an example of a frightening uh

152
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: the power of red and the danger of red, which

153
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: we're also gonna be talking about. I wanted to note

154
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: this is not inspired by the movie the same name

155
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: that I did not know existed until we did this research.

156
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: Chaz Um Guildner Radner and that dude, good job that

157
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 1: she's very She was married too, BLI j Wanka Gene Wilder,

158
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah. And it was seemed to be universally panned.

159
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 1: I don't want to call out the movie. I had

160
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: never seen it, but that was the consensus I got.

161
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 1: And one time I was wearing that red dress, somebody

162
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: told me I looked like Jenniferiston. I about died. I

163
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:07,839
Speaker 1: think that's the best celebrity comparison I've ever gotten a

164
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: red dress. I don't remember. I think she wore one

165
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: at some Oscar thing or some awards ceremony. Interesting, I

166
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: don't know. I know that Jessica Chastain just recently wore

167
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: red to an awards thing and people are dying over it. Really,

168
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: of course, she's just beautiful and you know, whatever, yeah,

169
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: and whatever, whatever not better all right, So, as far

170
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,079
Speaker 1: as color psychology goes, red has a lot going on

171
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: for it, perhaps more than any other color. If you

172
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: think about seeings like red herring, red flag, red handed,

173
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: red ink, red pill paint, the town, red seeing, red,

174
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 1: red carpet, red shirt, scarlet woman, the Horror Babylon by

175
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: the way, scarlet letter, the red apple, red stop lights,

176
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,719
Speaker 1: red stop signs, red, the red light district. Um, I've

177
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: got red in my ledger in there now, I have to.

178
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: It's in my contract as it uh. And I want

179
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: to include this from the Bible about the Horror Babylon.

180
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color,

181
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having

182
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: a golden cup in her hand, full of abominations and

183
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 1: filthiness of her fornication. And I saw the woman drunken

184
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: with the blood of the saints and with the blood

185
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her,

186
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: I wondered with great admiration. Mhmm. Indeed a revelation. And uh,

187
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: I did want to include here because we're not really

188
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 1: talking about this today, but Pass host Chris and Caroline

189
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 1: did do an episode on redheads and the stereotypes around them.

190
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: If you want to search something, one of the things

191
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: that says red his stepchild. So I'm assuming there's a

192
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: lot of their connotations to both being redhead and just

193
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: red in general. Yeah, and I also I feel like

194
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: redheads are frequently sexualized. Um. Yes, yes we are, as

195
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: I've seen them all the supernatural whatever. Um. According to Google,

196
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: red is the first color humans perceived after white and black,

197
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: and it's the first colored baby seat, and for many

198
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: is still used as a symbol of love. So I

199
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 1: think that's really significant. Oh. Absolutely. The power over red

200
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: has a long history. Women in ancient Africa used red

201
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: hawker to represent fertility, Hunters from the Stone Age used

202
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: red clay as a bodied paint, and in the Paleolithic

203
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: period the dead were buried with red powder, the belief

204
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: being it warded off evil spirits or maybe for the smell,

205
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,319
Speaker 1: or maybe for both. Ard to say, um, red is

206
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: seen as good luck in China and historically ancient emperors

207
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: believed it was a royal color, the fire element. Chinese

208
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: brides wear red two weddings. In ancient Roman times, brides

209
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: wore red shawls to symbolize fidelity and love. When Christianity

210
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 1: came along, Christians associated red with the blood of Christ.

211
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: Royalty wore the color to emphasize that their rule was

212
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: ordained by God. Reportedly, several of these royals forbade the

213
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: common folk from wearing red do to the high cost

214
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: of the die, so it became associated with the rich

215
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,599
Speaker 1: Charlotamagne and Louis the fourteenth and their red shoes for instance. Guy.

216
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: In situations where people challenge the SATs quolled like revolutions,

217
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: revolutionaries frequently adopt red to French revolution great example in

218
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: Burkina Faso. It's a sign of bad luck though, and

219
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: so it's not always right. And I thought it was

220
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: fascinating about the Chinese idea behind red and that it

221
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: was the fire element. But also I love the fact

222
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,079
Speaker 1: that the leadership used it in their robes. I think

223
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 1: I think it's like that Leving that of the thirteen

224
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 1: rulers or whatever actually used that as part of their

225
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: signed up leadership and aggression, and of course both could

226
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 1: be good or bad. It could be in nature, red

227
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: has all kinds of meanings. It can signal danger when

228
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: it comes to blood. It could signal warmth of a fire,

229
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 1: the setting of the sun, the ripeness or toxicity of

230
00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 1: certain berries. Humans flushed when angry, embarrassed, or turned on.

231
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,239
Speaker 1: It's a color associated with fertility, like think the Handmaids

232
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: to A study looking into male esis macam monkeys found

233
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 1: that they avoid red or act submissively in its presence,

234
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: and among mangel monkeys, the one with the red ist

235
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: face is the most dominant. You do not mess with

236
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 1: that one. In bullfighting, the bull is taunted by a

237
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: red cape. And there has been a surprising amount of

238
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: research on the power of red. And it's found that

239
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:34,319
Speaker 1: red is big in three main areas, sex, achievement, and dominance.

240
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: So let's talk about sex. Yeah, you know a lot

241
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 1: of that. So red is from a lure. Red is

242
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: not a color you way when you're feeling shy, you

243
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: swipe on red lipstick or put on a red dress

244
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,719
Speaker 1: when you want to be noticed. It's sexy. But it

245
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: started not the mirror. After all. It's also the color

246
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: of stop signs or of anger or extreme heat. Apple

247
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 1: was a I'm weighing my red lipstick right now in

248
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:01,199
Speaker 1: honor of this episode. I'm wearing my red. Yeah, we are.

249
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: We're rocking it on today just because it's like, yeah,

250
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: I love and I'll talk a little more about it.

251
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: But the idea of coming to wear red, it took

252
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 1: me a long time to actually step up to being like, yeah,

253
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: I can pull this off. But yeah, it's kind of

254
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: like I feel good, I feel sassy. Let's do this.

255
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: It's an attention grabber for sure. Um, And before we

256
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: get into red and sex and love and all of

257
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: that stuff too and death, we're gonna pause for a

258
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 1: quick break for words from our sponsor and we're back,

259
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: Thank you sponsor. So, if you think about pink, pink

260
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: is frequently used to symbolize love, and red is too,

261
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: But I feel like red has a more sexual, lustful overtone.

262
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: Red lipstick, red nails, red heels, red dress, red roses.

263
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: Studies have found that men rate women in red as

264
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: more attractive, desirable, and sexually available, and it goes both ways,

265
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: and women reported finding men in red more attractive. According

266
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: to a study, waitresses in red received fifteen to higher

267
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: tips because they were perceived as better looking. A sixteen

268
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: study did not bear out the link between the color

269
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: red and sex, so more research is needed. I will

270
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: say I do rock this red lips like we were

271
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: just talking about, as well as usually a red shirt

272
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: when I'm bartending to get more tips, and even if

273
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: it just boost my confidence a bit more, it makes

274
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: me feel a little more lively. Could you feel like

275
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: I get a little better tips? Huh? While there we

276
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: go anecdotal example. Another study found female hitchhikers wearing red

277
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: had a better chance of getting a ride. Another interesting

278
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: study found that when judges looked at mug shots, even

279
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: though they couldn't see the color in the photos because

280
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: they're they're black and white, they rated people wearing red

281
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: more highly. Researchers speculate that is because the people wearing

282
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: red held themselves more confidently or in a more sexual position.

283
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: It's fascinating. A study froeen found that women viewed other

284
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: women in red dresses um as more threatening, promiscuous, and

285
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: fair game for insults. Women were more prepared to financially

286
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: punish the woman in red as compared to men. However,

287
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: a lot of that had to do with the shape, fit,

288
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: and sexiness of the dress. If it was sort of

289
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: more conservative red dress, the judgment wasn't as harsh. Once

290
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: survey found that more reported choosing to wear red for

291
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: a date. More women reported choosing to wear a red

292
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: for a date as opposed to non date situations. Researchers

293
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: found that women wearing red lipstick are more likely to

294
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: be approached at a bar compared to other colors of

295
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: lipstick are no lipstick at all. The heightened contrast helps

296
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: draw more attention to I know we've talked about makeup

297
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: three on the show before makeup there. That's fun. But

298
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: that's fun. Yeah, that's fun. It DAWs attention to you know,

299
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 1: your sexualized features. Yeah, well not all of them are sexualized.

300
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,199
Speaker 1: But you know, one of my relatives once told me

301
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: only prostitutes or red lipstick. You know, I've had weird

302
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: comments like that to me too. I think, um, I

303
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 1: do rock a lot of the red lipstick and it

304
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: becomes It became a thing for me about six or

305
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: seven years ago, after telling so many people I couldn't

306
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 1: pull it off. And what I'm actually meant was that

307
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: I didn't feel comfortable enough and wearing it because um,

308
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: it felt like I was trying to get attention because

309
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: obviously that's bad, right, so bad. But then it kind

310
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: of became a thing for me as a hey, I'm

311
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: feeling sassy, messed with me at your own risk, and

312
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,719
Speaker 1: kind of became part of my personality. Even at my

313
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: actual job as a social worker, people know me about

314
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: my red lipstick, and if I'm not wearing it, they'll

315
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 1: be like, what's wrong. That's the first thing they asked me.

316
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: I'm going to what And they a might be like, oh,

317
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: she's sassy, she's ready to go today, and I'm like, okay,

318
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: that's how you perceive me because I'm wearing it weird color,

319
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: a different shade of lipstick cool um. And having said that,

320
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: there's also seemingly weird reaction people from people who have

321
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,880
Speaker 1: decided that red is sexual and for someone who wears it, um,

322
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: it's wearing their sexuality on their lips, which I mean,

323
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,439
Speaker 1: I get it. There's a lot of connotations with lips

324
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 1: and sexuality in general, and I do like my lips.

325
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: I have thicker, fuller lips than some. Um. But even

326
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: to the point that the advice articles argue over whether

327
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: they're wearing red lipstick is a negative or positive for

328
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 1: job interviews, and I found that fascinating. A few hundred

329
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: years ago, red lipstick was spanned by Parliament as witchcraft

330
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: time to practice in which right, let's red lipstick, I mean, obviously,

331
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: And I think it's really interesting when I was reading

332
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: through several of these articles about how many women had

333
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 1: to make a bold decision to wear a red lipstick

334
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 1: and how life changing it was, and how many felt

335
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: they just couldn't pull it off. And once again, that

336
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 1: was one of the things I've said, one of the

337
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,959
Speaker 1: things many people have said to me, just because it's

338
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: such a different look to actually see your all in

339
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 1: a highlighted manner. I guess, yeah, contrasting. Yeah, yeah. There

340
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: are a lot of articles out there about when to

341
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: wear red in work situations, and we'll get into a

342
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: little bit of that. Another study from twelve found that

343
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: women who were read in their profile pictures on dating

344
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 1: apps are sites were more likely to report interest in

345
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 1: casual sex. Similarly, another study found that sites with a

346
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,919
Speaker 1: bigger focus on hookups and casual sex featured more women

347
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: wearing red. And I just think it's interesting that red

348
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: is both the color of love and the color of hate.

349
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 1: Um Cupid and the Devil. The results of one test

350
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 1: seemed to suggest that the presence of red may intensify

351
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 1: the experience of pain. It's also pretty interesting, uh, if

352
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: we look at achievement, research shows that even a flash

353
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 1: of the color red before performance or test can induce

354
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: avoidance and worse performance, probably because of its associations with

355
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: mistakes and failures. Yeah, I know many teachers that have

356
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 1: gone from red pins to blue pins because of the

357
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: many conversations about whether red pins were too demeaning and

358
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: psychologically damaging. There seems to be a lot of back

359
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,679
Speaker 1: and forth at the validity of the idea, and research

360
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: seems to be, of course inconclusive. But the whole idea

361
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 1: of teachers being interpreted as being mean or too art

362
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: as well as well as the fact that if they

363
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 1: great and red, they're more not likely to give a

364
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 1: negative mark on their own perceptions. So it seems kind

365
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: of an interesting aspect. But I know, like I said,

366
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: my sister who is a teacher, oftentimes won't use red anymore.

367
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: It's all blue ink that is interesting. My dad was

368
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: a college professor and he had a red rubber stamp

369
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: that said rubbish. See right there, so demeaning. He was

370
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: like a super nice teacher. But I think that was

371
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: when if you just clearly put in no effort, it's

372
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: like it's just a blank page. It's pretty much just

373
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 1: a Wikipedia page on their Compared to white or blue chips,

374
00:20:55,920 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: when you're gambling, people tend to bet more with red chips. Yet,

375
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: other studies have found that wearing red can boost your

376
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: confidence and productivity, and red is found to be the

377
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: color of dominance as well. Researchers reached that conclusion after

378
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: analyzing athletes in the two thousand four Olympics, and the

379
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: finding was especially true in close contact sports. A study

380
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: found that people associated wearing red with being aggressive and angry.

381
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 1: And there is another study into sports that came before

382
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 1: this one. I think specifically wrestling, I found similar stuff.

383
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 1: I will say, as an actor, I have been advised

384
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 1: not to wear red in auditions because it is too aggressive.

385
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: But in other business settings, red is a power color.

386
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 1: I think of the red power tie. Oh my gosh,

387
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 1: this comes up an embarrassing amount of politics. The red

388
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 1: tie versus the blue trown sleep versus the black city

389
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. I'm sure a lot of you have

390
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: heard about the power of red and advertising. You can

391
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 1: just look at how many products and corporations use red

392
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 1: and countries that use red in their flags. It's a lot.

393
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: And I'm sure a lot of you have also heard

394
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: that driving red sports cars drives up your insurance. But

395
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 1: from what I understand, this is more of an urban legend,

396
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 1: but still telling of how we perceive red. And I

397
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,679
Speaker 1: think I've heard that a lot of times you're more

398
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: likely to be pulled over having a red car. And

399
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:25,120
Speaker 1: now we want to talk about some media. But first

400
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna pause for one more quick break for reform

401
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 1: a sponsor, and we're back, Thank you, sponsor. When we're

402
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: talking about red in our media, things do you get

403
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 1: a little more interesting? There are plenty of sexy, lustful examples,

404
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: but also things get more complicated. And consider how red

405
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,919
Speaker 1: is often the villains color, although the villain can also

406
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: and often is if it's a woman's sexual right. Um,

407
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: the red lightsaber as the color for the sith. And yes,

408
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 1: everyone's freaking out right now because the new chailer came

409
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: out and ray has double red lightsaber. What does it mean?

410
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 1: Accidentally timely again. Okay, the evil right, you know, I've

411
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: never watched the Evil Jedi has a red lightsaber. Um.

412
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: Some historians think that this, this association with red and

413
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 1: evil might be left over animosity towards the red uniforms

414
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: of the British during the American Revolutionary War, or from

415
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: the Red Scare and the Cold War both probably also

416
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:43,880
Speaker 1: just with that anger and blood, those kind of associations. Um. Yeah,

417
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: if you look at Jafar, Guialdeville, the Queen of Hearts,

418
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: Mother Goffel, Professor Radigan, Gaston, Captain Hook, the Thief and

419
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: the Cobbler, the villains and those anger and inside out,

420
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: not really a villain, but he's red. Agree. Yes. In

421
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 1: a film, a lot of red is often meant to

422
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 1: be unsettling, a signal that's something bad it's about to happen,

423
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 1: like in two thousand one A Space Odyssey or x

424
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: Makina or The Descent. But Um, often inverted to her

425
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 1: is given an example of red being less of a

426
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: menacing color and more of a positive color. Um. Yeah,

427
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 1: I kept thinking while we were doing this, I've never

428
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 1: heard this song lady in Red lady, And yeah, well

429
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 1: but I have seen the Sadels. Get where Kristin Wig is.

430
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 1: Oh she's she's not hold of She's calculately give red.

431
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. She's a talk show host and she

432
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 1: sings lady no Red to make fun of her. Coh,

433
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: I missed that one. Yeah, Mulan rouge um six again

434
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: from Balstar Galactica. Even if you haven't seen this show,

435
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: you've probably seen images of her, tall, thin, white woman

436
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: with blonde hair, striking high contrast red dress. And yes,

437
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 1: I leave spoiler alert. Their cylons who use seduction to

438
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: get what they want, and that probably makes no sense

439
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: to anyone who hasn't seen that show. Basically their robots. Yeah,

440
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: I kind of understoo what sions? I don't know. I'm

441
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: just trying to be inclusive to it. Thank you, But

442
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 1: outside of that, I would not know. You are right.

443
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: I try on that red dress, by the way, sold

444
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: for twenty three thousand dollars. Really yeah um red riding

445
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: hood at the spell Lining Adventures of Sabrina. I feel

446
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 1: like they use a lot of red in that show,

447
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:32,959
Speaker 1: especially in like high contrast, because most of it's very

448
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: dark and then you have this pretty bright blood color

449
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 1: red um color theory and Harry Potter Red is bravery,

450
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:47,439
Speaker 1: courage and recklessness, um, Schindler's List, The Shining Yeah, actually,

451
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: and Kill Bill, which has an entire scene in black

452
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 1: and white where she's fighting the entire Japanese mob essentially,

453
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 1: and it flicks back on real quick and you see

454
00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: the massive bloody spectacle American beauty. They used that with

455
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 1: the idea of the young Temptress, since City actually uses

456
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:07,119
Speaker 1: it much like Schindler's List, Pleasantville does. It is very

457
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: on the nose about sin and liveliness and colorful life

458
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: um as well. Yeah, and then and superheroes of course,

459
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: of course you've got Captain America, Iron Man, Thor Spiderman,

460
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 1: Black Widow with her hair but also her belt to

461
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 1: get blonde sometimes though yeah, well that was her disguise.

462
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,679
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. Clearly, if you die, very eye catching

463
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: hair a blonde color much better than you got. That's

464
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 1: also in Captain America group heard get with It A.

465
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: Koyer from Black Panther, Aunt Man, the Wasp, star Lord

466
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: Dr Strange. Also heroes clearly just want a redhead because

467
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: it's Mary. Jan Pepper pots April from Teenage Mutant Ninja

468
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:58,479
Speaker 1: Turtles Jean Gray, Black Widow. Yeah, the Redhead Finn Fatal.

469
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: That's kind of the theme for many, many, many, many

470
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 1: many movies. So that's like bad versus evil, good versus evil,

471
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: bad versus worse through that movie. But yeah, it feels

472
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: like that's a huge like that's the the one, the mermaid,

473
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 1: the one, the Mermaidia and with the media that looking

474
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: through art because we already talked about some of the

475
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 1: dyes that they used in some types of minerals. But

476
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 1: there's a lot of theory and ideas about the power

477
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: and a pill of red and art as in fact,

478
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 1: it seems artwork that is in red get higher beds

479
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: than any other color types. The origins in history is

480
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 1: fascinating for sure, from the use of it in the

481
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 1: cave paintings to the lead paint use by Vay and Go,

482
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,639
Speaker 1: and the costs in the history is really expensive. They

483
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: even used as specific rand mineral because you talked about

484
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:48,439
Speaker 1: earlier to smear on victorious gladiators to parade throughout the village,

485
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,880
Speaker 1: which I thought was weird and much like media, red

486
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 1: is a heavy symbol within many works of art. The

487
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 1: idea of many deep dark red is the thought to

488
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: once again represent anger and rage, while the lighter versions

489
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 1: are thought of as love and feminality. Not right, I suppose.

490
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 1: I guess Valentine's Day tells me so so many things.

491
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: Just red and deep think for all everything, everything, but

492
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 1: the deep dark red is passion and the lighter as

493
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 1: we're all true love. Yes, maybe anger and passion. I

494
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:23,399
Speaker 1: guess there's right there. Yeah, that's true. Um. And I

495
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 1: did want to include some other stuff before we have

496
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:31,120
Speaker 1: our closing closing arguments on red um. We have talked

497
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: before about the Red Dress Project and are Missing and

498
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,439
Speaker 1: Murdered Indigenous Women episode. The Red Dress Project uses red

499
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: dresses to memorialize the missing and murdered Indigenous women in Canada.

500
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 1: And then there's Red AIDS awareness in Africa. And there's

501
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 1: also Go Red for Women, the American Heart Association's theme

502
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: to raise awareness for women and heart disease. So red

503
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: is a powerful color, and I feel, especially for women,

504
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 1: when you choose to wear red, there are all of

505
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: the assumptions um put on you for that. And it

506
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: does branch out into both social life when it comes

507
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: to dating or not even dating, but people think maybe

508
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: oh it's actually available or um. And then in our

509
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 1: media from what we the messages we receive about what

510
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: this color means, and then that kind of trickles out

511
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: into our work lives because, as we said, there are

512
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: so many articles out there about when wearing red is

513
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: good and when it is not in a professional setting.

514
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: And it seems but most everything I read said about read, um,

515
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: it's a statement. It's a bold like it's a choice.

516
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 1: You're looking, people are going to notice it, and so

517
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: you shouldn't wear it. I don't know that if this

518
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: is true. But it said unless you want to make

519
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: a real mark, if you have like a big presentation

520
00:29:54,400 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: about a project that you're working on. Yes, but otherwise right,

521
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: But that's so fascinating that we have all of this rules,

522
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: these rules tied up with red, and especially with the

523
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 1: women wearing red. It's a powerful thing. Apparently red is dynamic,

524
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: eye catching, the third most noticeable colors. So I guess

525
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 1: it does say some things. It does say some things.

526
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: I like red. I know it says, uh, this is

527
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: a power color, and you will hear me. Damn it,

528
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 1: I'm sassy, bring it. That's what it says about me.

529
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: There we go, Well, that's what we have to say

530
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 1: about the power of red. But we would love to

531
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: hear any stories you have. Oh no, I apologize, it's

532
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: everybody's head you did this. I feel like every episode

533
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: we do something terrible. Song well, I don't know it's terrible,

534
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 1: but it'll be suck in your head and that will

535
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: be terrible. It's too late and I can't edit, so no,

536
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 1: we don't know how to edit things. Andrew's not here

537
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: for any good reason, just to give us weird looks. Fair, yes,

538
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,560
