Yin And Yang Theory

**Yin And Yang Theory** is a popular idea introduced in Episode 9: World Wide Landlord. The theory describes the eternal oppositional characteristics intrinsic to the numbers 6 and 9, and their similarities to Yin and Yang. It should be noted that a 6 upside-down is a 9, and a 9 upside-down is a 6.

While some believe that 6 and 9 are diametrically opposed in all ways, it should be noted that, like Yin and Yang, they are in fact tied together. This applies even more so to Josiah and Drew.

6

Little is known about 6 beyond their inherent opposition to everything related to 9. At present, the following information is known about 6:

* Josiah is a 6.
* Drew's feet/shoe size is a 6, despite/because of the fact that he is a 9.
* World Wide High School was the first episode to be released without the episode number (6) in the episode title. Episode 9: World Wide Landlord was the second episode to be released without the episode number (9) in the episode title, though it was later re-titled to include the episode number in the title.
* Episode 15: World Wide Beer with special guest Tom (1 + 5 = 6) discussed an idea that was Drew's responsibility to envision. He instead outsourced that responsibility to world famous streamer and creator of Chapo Trap House Podcast Tom. This may be related to the episode's status as a 6.
* Episode 24: Ideas! (2 + 4 = 6) saw Josiah introduce the master idea, which involved auguring a hole into the frontal lobe of everyone in the world to install a light bulb that lights up with a brightness directly related to how good their ideas are. This may be related to the episode's status as a 6.
* Episode 33: Back to Basics (3 + 3 = 6) involved Josiah's revelation that the show had gotten off course so he waned to get Back to Basics. He and Drew traveled backwards in time learning how to get Back to Basics to be better leftist comedian podcasters, eventually ending up in dinosaur times. This may be related to the episode's status as a 6.
* Episode 42: GOLD! (4 + 2 = 6) involved Josiah taking multiple personality tests to discover his hidden talent. The first personality test revealed that his hidden talent is being a Laugh Creator, which is someone who can be described as: "Your empathy level and your attention to the details make you the perfect one to read situations and find in them something to highlight. It seems you're a sociable and funny creature. You may be able to see things from a different point of view. Your friends and relatives appreciate your good mood and positive outlook. You're like a breath of fresh air. Everything is better with a smile! Your life could be a comedy (and you its main star!)". The second personality test revealed that his "hidden talent is to invent or discover something new and change the world. It could be in the medical field or any other field. Never stop believing and working for your cause!". This may be related to the episode's status as a 6.
* Episode 51: What If He Stays (5 + 1 = 6) involved Josiah leading a conversation about whether Jeff Bezos should go to space and then stay there, taking into account that there are so many sides to every coin. This may be related to the episode's status as a 6.
* Episode 60: "Flush": The World Wide Ice Berg (6 + 0 = 6) involved Drew's idea of a new iceberg made of shit and piss and cum and puke that gets frozen by a CO2 blast to create "Flush": The World Wide Ice Berg. This idea was similar to Josiah's earlier ideas regarding eating shit and only flushing the toilet once a month. It also involved a prisoner nicknamed 'the turderer' who would be responsible for pulling the trigger on the shit and cum dispenser that creates more of The World Wide Ice Berg when the amount of icebergs remaining in the world dropped to dangerously low levels. This prisoner idea was proposed by Josiah and was in line with several of his other earlier ideas, including the Printerns at World Wide Train (verb), the misbehaving children responsible for sewing together the dirty World Wide Wipes, and the tribe of prisoners on Tabulation Island. This may be related to the episode's status as a 6.
* Episode 69: Swarm Army (6 + 9 = 15 -> 1 + 5 = 6) is the embodiment of the Yin And Yang Theory, with the 6 and 9 naturally opposed in the episode number. However, the ideas discussed in the episode also seemed to revolve around the identities of both 6 and 9, because Josiah (6) was discussing the Sperm Swarm (aka Swarm Army) merely as a war weapon, while Drew (9) kept making the Sperm Swarm be sex-related and nasty. This may be related to the episode's status as a 6.
* Episode 78: Raygunomics (7 + 8 = 15 -> 1 + 5 = 6) involved discussion of an idea of Drew's that was referred to in the episode exclusively as Shrinking Homelessness. Upon hearing the description of this idea and realizing it was simply a way to essentially purge the existence of unhoused people from everyday life, Josiah termed this idea 'Raygunomics' instead. Seemingly, sometime between recording the episode and releasing it, Josiah and Drew agreed to name the episode using Josiah's term, rather than Drew's original idea. This may be related to the episode's status as a 6.
* Episode 87: Books VS Phones (8 + 7 = 15 -> 1 + 5 = 6) involved debate between Josiah and Drew regarding the value of phone vs. book. This may be related to the episode's status as a 6.
* In The Money Doctor (Commentary Track), Josiah and Drew discussed dialing certain numbers on the phone and how those numbers correspond to various sex positions. In response to Drew mentioning the numbers 6-9, Josiah brought up 6-3 as an even sexier number because it's when you have sex with a gymnast. However, this may have also been a reference to his previous episode, Episode 63: Nasty, which involved everyone needing to become more nasty like Hillary Clinton. Drew responded that 6-3 is when you 'suck toes but we 69'. Regardless, it is notable that all of the discussed sex numbers involved the number 6 in the starting position and the first sex number discussed, 69, adds up to a 6 (6 + 9 = 15 -> 1 + 5 = 6). Additionally, the two numbers discussed as being in the second position, 9 and 3, respectively, can be subtracted to produce the number 6.

9

Little is known about 9 beyond their inherent opposition to everything related to 6. At present, the following information is known about 9:

* Drew is a 9.
* It is theorized that Josiah's feet/shoe size is a 9, despite/because of the fact that he is a 6.
* Josiah has pointed out that, to him, 9 means "no" in German.
	+ This is likely a reference to the word "nein", which is German for the English word "no". However, 9 and "nein" are merely homophones.
	+ It is important to note that Josiah's status as a 6 makes him naturally predisposed to believing the word 9 means "no", regardless of the language.
* The blink-182 album, *NINE*, is likely a 9.
	+ Josiah, who is a 6, has previously stated that he does not like the album *NINE*.
		- Note: It is believed that Drew loves the album *NINE* due to his status as a 9, though this needs confirmation.
* Episode 9: World Wide Landlord was the second episode to be released without the episode number (9) in the episode title, though it was later re-titled to include the episode number in the title. World Wide High School was the first episode to be released without the episode number (6) in the episode title. This may be related to the episode's status as a 9.
* Bus, the 18th episode of Globe Hell Warning (1 + 8 = 9), was supposed to discuss an idea of Josiah's. However, Drew had been visiting his 17 year old son Barry in Spokane, Washington and derailed the episode by recording while riding the bus back home to Calgary, AB. This may be related to the episode's status as a 9.
* Episode 27: Why Do I Have Blue Eyes? (2 + 7 = 9) saw Drew's original idea he wanted to discuss in the episode get entirely derailed by his and Josiah's attempts to create a new introduction for each episode. Drew rejected Josiah's original intro idea so the two had a jam sesh based on Drew's original idea for the episode intro. This may be related to the episode's status as a 9.
* Episode 36: Globe Hole (3 + 6 = 9) discussed a giant trash hole that Drew has said he won't fuck. This is especially ironic because it was discussed in Episode 15: World Wide Beer with special guest Tom. that Josiah and Drew desired the creation of extra waste because they were planning a future episode where they would create a garbage wife for Drew after the death of World Wife, who didn't fuck Drew before her death. This may be related to the episode's status as a 9.
* Episode 45: The Gig Economy (4 + 5 = 9) involved Drew providing a direct threat to Josiah's life in the episode. This may be related to the episode's status as a 9.
* Episode 54: World Wide Safeword (5 + 4 = 9) involved Drew's first step to creating his BDSM utopia by creating a World Wide Safeword that will make people stop whatever they're doing (such as robbing you or trying to get you to buy a dessert); saying it will also allow you to reality shift. This may be related to the episode's status as a 9.
* In Globehell Watches My Grandpa Detective starring Larry Heather, Drew revealed that he does not drive with his hands at 10-and-2, but rather at 6-and-9 while leaning all the way back as far as he can go.
* Episode 63: Nasty (6 + 3 = 9) involved Josiah and Drew needing to become more nasty, both as a nasty woman like Hillary Clinton and as a nasty little boy like the song *Nasty Boy (Nasty Chico Version)* by Trabant. This may be related to the episode's status as a 9.
* Episode 69: Swarm Army is the embodiment of the Yin And Yang Theory, with the 6 and 9 naturally opposed in the episode number. However, the ideas discussed in the episode also seemed to revolve around the identities of both 6 and 9, because Josiah (6) was discussing the Sperm Swarm (aka Swarm Army) merely as a war weapon, while Drew (9) kept making the Sperm Swarm be sex-related and nasty.
* Episode 72: WWideas (7 + 2 = 9) is, in many ways, a mirror image episode of Episode 27: Why Do I Have Blue Eyes?, another episode with a status as a 9. 72 is the inverse of 27, and both episodes involved musical collages made up of multiple videos playing simultaneously. This episode involved Drew coming to grips with the fact that other podcasters keep stealing his ideas, leaving him with none of his own remaining. It is also notable that this is the second episode named for 'ideas', after Episode 24: Ideas!, which was a Josiah episode with a status as a 6. This can be seen as Drew's attempt to override Josiah's master idea from that episode. This may be related to the episode's status as a 9.
* Episode 79: Verified People (8 + 1 = 9) was the second 79th main episode but technically the first 81st main episode, making it a secret 9-episode. This episode involved determining whether someone is a Blue and is thus a Verified Person. Blue is a recurring motif on Globe Hell Warning after being introduced in Episode 27: Why Do I Have Blue Eyes?, another 9-episode. While Drew failed his audit to be a Blue in the episode, Josiah mentioned he would have the chance to retake the audit in 30 days. This could suggest that Drew's true nature of a Blue is secret, echoing the episode's secret nature as a 9-episode.
* In Episode 82: Digging Holes, Josiah and Drew established that 79 is a sex position because it is 10 higher than 69 so it's higher up on the body. It involves either rubbing your ass against someone's shoulder blades or eating their coochie while sucking on their toes.
* In The Money Doctor (Commentary Track), Josiah and Drew discussed dialing certain numbers on the phone and how those numbers correspond to various sex positions. In response to Drew mentioning the numbers 6-9, Josiah brought up 6-3 as an even sexier number because it's when you have sex with a gymnast. However, this may have also been a reference to his previous episode, Episode 63: Nasty, which involved everyone needing to become more nasty like Hillary Clinton. Drew responded that 6-3 is when you 'suck toes but we 69'. Regardless, it is notable that the first sex number discussed, 69, ends in the number 9. Additionally, the second sex number discussed, 63, adds up to a 9 (6 + 3 = 9).
* Episode 90: The Internal Toilet (9 + 0 = 9)
