EVERY SPOKEN WORD

  1. 0:0015:00

    Usually I have it,…

    1. JR

      Usually I have it, but it goes away after a month or so. I've had it for like four months pretty solid. Ooh, and we're live. Cam Hanes, how you doing buddy?

    2. CH

      I'm good, how are you?

    3. JR

      I'm good.

    4. CH

      (laughs)

    5. JR

      Welcome to California.

    6. CH

      I know. And th- this place is amazing.

    7. JR

      It's pretty badass, right?

    8. CH

      Yeah, we did the... We did the grand tour and I'm ready to lift.

    9. JR

      Yeah. We're gonna... We're gonna shoot first.

    10. CH

      (laughs)

    11. JR

      I don't... Don't wanna have poor accuracy.

    12. CH

      No, right.

    13. JR

      That's like... Your... Your whole motto of run, lift, shoot-

    14. CH

      Yeah.

    15. JR

      Shouldn't it be shoot, lift, run? Or shoot, run, lift?

    16. CH

      I don't know.

    17. JR

      Do you... You... You run in the mornings and then you run at night too, right?

    18. CH

      Yeah, mm-hmm.

    19. JR

      You have a problem.

    20. CH

      Yeah.

    21. JR

      Yeah, that's a problem.

    22. CH

      Yeah.

    23. JR

      That's too much.

    24. CH

      Well, I... I just fall back on the moderation is for cowards.

    25. JR

      (laughs)

    26. CH

      So that like pretty much covers any psycho overdoing, in excess. I'm like just... It can be like, no, I'm just not a coward.

    27. JR

      And what about overtraining? Is that bullshit?

    28. CH

      Yeah.

    29. JR

      Yeah. It's totally bullshit. But you were saying before-

    30. CH

      That's why-

  2. 15:0030:00

    Right. …

    1. CH

      wasn't, you know, right there with me. No, it was right there with me. Um, you know, they did a great job of putting that commercial together. Uh, it wasn't necessarily snarling at me or growling-

    2. JR

      Right.

    3. CH

      ... at me. But it was there. It was, it was fun. It was amazing.

    4. JR

      How big was that wolf?

    5. CH

      I think it was about 130 pounds. I mean, it was tall. That, that's a big ... That's what surprised me is how tall they are.

    6. JR

      Long legs, right?

    7. CH

      Yeah, and I think, you know, uh, we were talking about it earlier, as far as endurance goes, wolves, I believe, are the number one animal out there as far as they can run miles and miles and miles. And they're tall and they can just ... You know, their gait is, uh, you know, whatever. It allows them to go for hours and miles.

    8. JR

      Yeah. I was talking about running with my dog, you know, and he's only a year old.

    9. CH

      Mm-hmm.

    10. JR

      And he's in such good shape now 'cause he runs with me all the time.

    11. CH

      Yeah.

    12. JR

      See, if we run two miles, I run two miles. He runs seven or eight.

    13. CH

      Right. Running everywhere.

    14. JR

      'Cause he's running up and back and up and back and up and back and-

    15. CH

      Yeah.

    16. JR

      But i- it's amazing like what ... How good a shape they're in right outta-

    17. CH

      Mm-hmm.

    18. JR

      ... the box.

    19. CH

      Yeah.

    20. JR

      I mean, he's a fucking puppy.

    21. CH

      Yeah.

    22. JR

      And he just books it up that hill, just ... And he turns around and looks at me like, "Come on, bitch."

    23. CH

      I know. (laughs)

    24. JR

      And he comes running back to me.

    25. CH

      Yeah. Animals, you know, uh, animals h- pretty much have the advantage over us on everything o- other than, you know, the ... I mean, their stronger, stronger jaws. Um, you know, the mu- your- their muscles stronger for what they have. Um, we have a- endurance as a advantage over most animals.

    26. JR

      Potential endurance.

    27. CH

      Like elk. But, uh, the on- luckily we have, you know, we can use our minds.

    28. JR

      Well, that is the reason why we're so weak.

    29. CH

      Mm-hmm.

    30. JR

      You know? The, it's, it's so fascinating how things balance out.

  3. 30:0045:00

    Yeah. …

    1. JR

      you met him.

    2. CH

      Yeah.

    3. JR

      Mike (laughs) , Mike was dealing with people, uh, from Vancouver that were sending him hate mail-

    4. CH

      Mm.

    5. JR

      ... because of wolves. Now, where he lives, he lives in the real British Columbia.

    6. CH

      Right.

    7. JR

      Where there's fucking-

    8. CH

      Wild.

    9. JR

      ... wolves and grizzly bears everywhere.

    10. CH

      Yeah.

    11. JR

      We, we found a, a wolf kill while we were up there. It was pretty wild. The wolf had got a hold of a moose calf and just tore it apart-

    12. CH

      Yeah.

    13. JR

      A, a pack of wolves.

    14. CH

      Yeah.

    15. JR

      Hair all over the place, and you know-

    16. CH

      It's what they do.

    17. JR

      It was pretty fresh too. Um, but he's shot a bunch of them.

    18. CH

      Mm-hmm.

    19. JR

      And somehow or another some group of people found out that he shot wolves.

    20. CH

      Yeah.

    21. JR

      And where he lives, you get an unlimited amount of wolf tags.

    22. CH

      Right.

    23. JR

      They're trying to kill wolves as much as possible. You can kill 100 wolves a day if you can.

    24. CH

      Yeah.

    25. JR

      And, and that's totally legal.

    26. CH

      Yup.

    27. JR

      Because they have ranchers up there, and, like, one of ... I think one of his neighbors, they, a, a wolf ... It was in the middle of the winter, a wolf got a hold of one of the cows.

    28. CH

      Right.

    29. JR

      A bunch of wolves, a pack. So these people are in their house and they're listening to a pack of wolves tear apart-

    30. CH

      Yeah.

  4. 45:001:00:00

    Yeah. …

    1. JR

      are the shit, man.

    2. CH

      Yeah.

    3. JR

      Did we go to one when we went to Brazil?

    4. CH

      Is that where they threw the plates at the wall?

    5. JR

      Yes.

    6. CH

      Right?

    7. JR

      Oh, that's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

    8. CH

      They threw the plates.

    9. JR

      Yeah, they fucking chuck fr- plates like Frisbees and shatter them.

    10. CH

      Yeah.

    11. JR

      They know how to party in Brazil.

    12. CH

      They do. And it was just meat on meat on meat.

    13. JR

      Meat on meat. You get, uh-

    14. CH

      It was beautiful.

    15. JR

      ... a card, it's got green on one side and red on the other. A lot of people have been to these. Like, uh, Fogo de Chao is a great one that's here in LA and all over the country. But that's what they eat. They're famous for meat.

    16. CH

      When you're done with the meat, you give them the red card.

    17. JR

      Yeah.

    18. CH

      Right?

    19. JR

      Yeah, you flip that card-

    20. CH

      And they're like, "I can't."

    21. JR

      ... over your leg and done.

    22. CH

      (laughs)

    23. JR

      Screen on one side-

    24. CH

      I'm tapping out.

    25. JR

      ... red on the other. Yeah, you tap out. Yeah, we, we go to town. Nobody can fuck with Ari Shaffir when it comes to that place. Nobody.

    26. CH

      Really?

    27. JR

      No, I've never seen ... Look, when me and Ari go to eat, generally speaking, I'm more of a glutton than him. I'll eat more than him.

    28. CH

      Yeah.

    29. JR

      But not at that place.

    30. CH

      Really?

  5. 1:00:001:08:15

    So when you're going…

    1. CH

      ... Man, it doesn't ... It's tough. It was, it's tough all the way around.

    2. JR

      So when you're going through a three-day, 238-mile run-

    3. CH

      Mm-hmm.

    4. JR

      ... does it, it, you, it gets bad at certain times where you just feel like shit.

    5. CH

      Yeah.

    6. JR

      And then if you keep going, it gets better? And then it gets bad again?

    7. CH

      Yeah.

    8. JR

      And then it gets better again?

    9. CH

      Oh, yeah, yeah. You're up and down, up and down the whole time.

    10. JR

      And, but you know that if you keep going, even when you feel like dogshit, you'll eventually break through and start feeling okay again.

    11. CH

      I don't know. There's no guarantee.

    12. JR

      There's no guarantee?

    13. CH

      No, there's no guaran- You hope, but-

    14. JR

      Have you ever gone through a whole, long race and felt like dogshit the entire time?

    15. CH

      (laughs) Yeah.

    16. JR

      Which one of those?

    17. CH

      Uh, well, like the 24-hour run, you know, 'cause that's usually, like my first tough one of the year is in June, so I haven't really ...

    18. JR

      Prepared for it enough?

    19. CH

      No, 'cause I'm always after spring bear.

    20. JR

      Oh, no.

    21. CH

      And, uh, I haven't been training because I've been up in bear camp and doing whatever. So that's always one where I know I'm just pretty much gonna be miserable the whole time. There's gonna be no light at the end of the tunnel, other than when the 24 hours is up. So that one I know I'm just gonna have to grind it out, but i- and that's, that's where I'm like, (clears throat) "It's, uh, this is one day out of my life."

    22. JR

      Just do it.

    23. CH

      I'm just gonna be miserable. Um, you know, on, on Moab, that one started off and I felt terrible right out of the d- I mean, I felt, I was like, we were, God, I don't wanna think, like 19 or maybe 15 miles in, something like that, at an aid station, I'm going, "This is not good." (laughs) 'Cause-

    24. JR

      15 miles in?

    25. CH

      Yes.

    26. JR

      What's crazy is you were running a marathon a day.

    27. CH

      Yeah, yeah.

    28. JR

      So why was 15 miles so bad?

    29. CH

      Um, I don't know. There's sometimes when you ... Do you ever go on a run and your legs just feel heavy?

    30. JR

      Yeah.
