    Here we go, baby.…

    1. JR

      Here we go, baby. Five, four, three, two, one. Boom. And there can be only one Theo Von.

    2. TV

      Well, far as we know. Far as I know.

    3. JR

      In the universe, though, do you know what they think?

    4. TV

      What?

    5. JR

      Do you know, the co- the concept of infinity, apparently, is explained to me, by people far smarter than us, is that the universe is so big-

    6. TV

      Yeah.

    7. JR

      ... that not only is there intelligent life out there, for sure, but there's humans out there, for sure.

    8. TV

      Mm-hmm.

    9. JR

      And infinity is so big that that means somewhere in the universe, there is another Theo Von that has done exactly the same things that you've done, said exactly the same things that you've said, been in the same conversations that you've been in, down to that pause, down to the millisecond-

    10. TV

      Nuh-uh.

    11. JR

      ... an infinite number of times.

    12. TV

      And you believe it?

    13. JR

      Yes.

    14. TV

      No.

    15. JR

      Not just one, not just one time, but an unending number of times, 'cause that's how big infinity is. You're not buying it?

    16. TV

      I bet infinity's smaller than that.

    17. JR

      (laughs)

    18. TV

      If I had to bet ... Yeah, I, I, I just don't think that that could ... For me, that couldn't ha- uh, uh ... For me, if I, if I knew that that was true, that would just break my heart, I feel like.

    19. JR

      Why?

    20. TV

      'Cause then you would feel like everything you're doing feels pointless, you know?

    21. JR

      But isn't it anyway? Just what you know about the universe, let's just say the universe was limited to the size of this galaxy.

    22. TV

      Okay.

    23. JR

      Right?

    24. TV

      Which it really could be.

    25. JR

      Could be. I mean, we're ... You and I, let's be honest, we're kinda dumb.

    26. TV

      Right.

    27. JR

      Right? We're fairly dumb.

    28. TV

      Oh, yeah.

    29. JR

      Yeah.

    30. TV

      I'm just guessing.

  2. 15:0030:00

    Amount of moisture. …

    1. JR

      to level up the-

    2. NA

      Amount of moisture.

    3. JR

      ... amount of moisture to generate more rain. Huh.

    4. TV

      I could see them doing that.

    5. JR

      Dr. Habib adding that the best season for seeding is between June and August. Huh.

    6. TV

      Hm.

    7. JR

      So something, I mean, there's, there's other ways-

    8. TV

      They're blasting salt up into the... Yeah. See-

    9. JR

      Yeah. They spray shit and it makes it rain.

    10. TV

      I find that the moon... Say we went to the moon. The moon seems like something Delta could get to, if you really think about it.

    11. JR

      (laughs)

    12. TV

      Like, you know what I'm saying?

    13. JR

      Delta Airlines?

    14. TV

      Yeah. Like, if they-

    15. JR

      Not Southwest though, right?

    16. TV

      I mean...

    17. JR

      They seem a little shaky.

    18. TV

      Yeah. (laughs) They seem a little bit shaky on there. Some of the people are in there wearing shorts, you know what I'm saying?

    19. JR

      (laughs)

    20. TV

      When you get on. I don't trust anybody in shorts, especially at church.

    21. JR

      Right.

    22. TV

      But, um, I'll say this. When you, uh... Like, it's crazy, we've been flying across America for, you know, 40, 50 years now, right?

    23. JR

      More.

    24. TV

      Like... Yeah. Even more maybe.

    25. JR

      Yeah.

    26. TV

      You know? And it seems like it's, uh, we could figure out how to get into space.

    27. JR

      It's harder than that, for sure. First of all, it's 262,000 miles. You know, the Earth is 24,000 miles around. So a full trip from right here, so you start in, uh, Calabasas-

    28. TV

      Okay.

    29. JR

      ... and you do a full trip all the way around the planet and land in Calabasas. That's 24,000 miles.

    30. TV

      Okay. So it's, like, 12 times that or something? 30, th- (laughs)

  3. 30:0045:00

    See, that's dirty, man.…

    1. JR

      to work with." And then he would shut their careers down. All these different, these different women found out, like when they, their careers fell apart, they found out that was going on. There he is. What happened? What happened?

    2. TV

      See, that's dirty, man. Oh, him, huh?

    3. JR

      Yeah. From the Met. (coughs) James Levine.

    4. TV

      Mm-hmm.

    5. JR

      Sexual abuse claims. Yeah. Well, this is from December-

    6. TV

      He's got a little stick in his hand too.

    7. JR

      ... of 2017, but that has been, it's been ... There's recent stuff. Put up, pull up, uh, sexual abuse James Levine, because the, the more recent stuff is like much more confirmed, like a bunch of people came out and ...

    8. TV

      We had a dude in our neighborhood named, uh, Mr. Langenstein, and he used to invite us over to, uh, chill out and shit, but we didn't know he was, that he was a-... pedophile, but-

    9. JR

      You didn't know?

    10. TV

      No.

    11. JR

      How'd you find out?

    12. TV

      He ended up going to jail for it.

    13. JR

      So you were hanging out with him for a while and you didn't know?

    14. TV

      Yeah. We met him at school.

    15. JR

      (laughs)

    16. TV

      We thought he was just this cool old dude who liked to smoke pot, right? With children.

    17. JR

      Yeah.

    18. TV

      And one time, he bought us some steaks, 'cause he would like, you know, treat us nice, you know, and be ... He would take us ... He took us to Marilyn Manson, me and my best friend. He took us to Marilyn Manson.

    19. JR

      Really?

    20. TV

      We were like 15. We couldn't even get in. It was a 18-year-old show.

    21. JR

      And how old was he?

    22. TV

      He was probably 70.

    23. JR

      Wow.

    24. TV

      So ... And he had like a red convertible, you know? And that's ... Everybody wants to be in a convertible.

    25. JR

      (laughs)

    26. TV

      And so we got in and we went and, um ... Anyway, he, you know, he would ... He got us some steaks one time and the steak come with baked potato, a side item. So we had, uh, sour cream on th- on the baked potatoes. And my buddy was in, uh, in my buddy was in the kitchen and he said, "Hey, I'm out of, um, sour cream. Can I have some of yours?" And I said, "No, but you can have some of my sweet cream." You know, just making like a joke about semen.

    27. JR

      Right.

    28. TV

      And then big Langenstein, the dude goes, "Can I have some?" And that's when all the fucking wheels turned.

    29. JR

      And you realized-

    30. TV

      Yeah.

  4. 45:001:00:00

    Really? …

    1. TV

    2. JR

      Really?

    3. TV

      ... I feel like I've... I just feel like it's so dangerous.

    4. JR

      Could you imagine if it, it turns out that you're some sort of a sex criminal for jerking off to a certain type of thing? Like, what if you're into-

    5. TV

      (coughs)

    6. JR

      (clears throat) What if they find out you're into girls getting tied up and jerk off to videos of girls getting tied up and fucked?

    7. TV

      Like, what kind of tied up? Like, scary or, like, fucking, like, uh-

    8. JR

      Or even like the S&M shit. Just, like, let's just do mild-

    9. TV

      Like, Boy Scouts of America type of shit.

    10. JR

      ... like, think about it. I was reading this thing about this guy who got arrested for child porn. They wanted him for something else, but they caught him and arrested him for child porn. And, like, there's also some suspicion attached to it, accusations.

    11. TV

      Mm-hmm.

    12. JR

      But all you have to have is have child porn. You don't have to be a child molester. You just have to have the images.

    13. TV

      And you're a bad guy.

    14. JR

      And you're, you're the worst. You're going to jail. Like, it's one of the few things-

    15. TV

      Mm-hmm.

    16. JR

      ... you could have on your laptop. They can go in your house, la- your house, they check Theo Von's laptop, and there's 100 videos from ISIS and them chopping dudes' heads off with dull knives, stabbing them in the neck, shooting them, lighting them on fire.

    17. TV

      Mm.

    18. JR

      Nothing happens to you. Nothing. One video of a kid that looks underage getting fucked and you're going to jail. Just a video. Not you doing anything, but you being in possession of that kind of crime. So we, we make big differentiations, right?

    19. TV

      Mm-hmm.

    20. JR

      We really clearly differentiate between some crimes that you can have on your computer in a video form, like murder, which you could download on LiveLeak or 100 different websites, right? You can get videos of people getting murdered.

    21. TV

      Yeah, and you can watch it almost every night on television, like, in a-

    22. JR

      (coughs)

    23. TV

      ... kind of specially packaged way where it's, really is about the murder, but it's not.

    24. JR

      Yeah, you can watch-

    25. TV

      You know, in all these shows.

    26. JR

      ... the fake stuff. Yeah, you can watch fake stuff. I mean, you can definitely watch fake rape, too. There's f- rape in movies where, you know, it's horrific scenes. But if you have that on your computer and it's child porn, you are going to jail. It's one of the only things.

    27. TV

      What if it's drawings of that?

    28. JR

      Mm, that's a good question. There's a, there's a real debate about that because-

    29. TV

      'Cause there's naked children in the 1800s, they had all those paintings of naked children dancing in the fucking woods, in the sky.

    30. JR

      Yeah.

  5. 1:00:001:06:39

    Mm-hmm. …

    1. JR

      'cause they don't wanna be alone. Like, sex, for a lot of people, is a requirement, like a physical, biological requirement. Like, your body is constantly producing sperm.

    2. TV

      Mm-hmm.

    3. JR

      You need sex. If you spend time not having sex, you spend a month, two months, three months, you get fucking desperate.

    4. TV

      Yeah.

    5. JR

      And a lot of guys wind up just shacking up with some gal just 'cause they know they can have sex with her. And meanwhile, they don't even like each other and they hate each other and it winds up being a terrible dysfunctional relationship, but she's basically your drug dealer. That drug is pussy.

    6. TV

      Wow.

    7. JR

      She's dealing out that pussy for you, and you just gotta have this weird, creepy dysfunctional relationship with her. One thing that pornography does that's good, and I'm not saying all pornography, but just regular pornography, like two guys, uh, you know, like, uh, that are just living their lives.

    8. TV

      Where? Like in, like, Chicago?

    9. JR

      I mean anywhere, but I'm saying, like, I'm, I'm giving you two separate scenarios.

    10. TV

      Okay.

    11. JR

      Like two guys that are living their lives. One guy says, "I can't take this anymore. I gotta get a girl, you know, I gotta get any girl." And he winds up with this girl that turns out to be a nightmare and she's a disaster.

    12. TV

      The devil.

    13. JR

      And it, it just doesn't work out and he's just doing it because he needs sex. And the other guy goes, says, "You know what? I'm just gonna watch a little porn and I'll beat off. Just look at that girl, those big tits." (blows raspberries)

    14. TV

      Yeah.

    15. JR

      I'm like, "Whew, I got it out of my system. Now I can concentrate on my life, my career, and if I meet somebody, I won't be so needy. I won't have this, like, massive requirement to be sexually stimulated and touched."

    16. TV

      Yeah.

    17. JR

      "I'll, I'll be-... free of that monkey on my back and I can just get to know them. (coughs)

    18. TV

      Yeah.

    19. JR

      So, I used to always ... I used to have a bit in my act.

    20. TV

      It's a good point.

    21. JR

      I used to have a bit in my act about like if you have any critical decisions in your life, this is my advice. Jerk off first, then think about it. 'Cause there's been ma- I've, I've had this happen in my life, where I was about to go on a date with a girl-

    22. TV

      Mm-hmm.

    23. JR

      ... and I jerked off instead. And I was like, "What am I thinking? I don't wanna go on a date with her."

    24. TV

      Yeah.

    25. JR

      "She's annoying. I don't like anything about her. I don't... I can't talk to her about anything. Like the only reason why I'm doing this is 'cause she's got a big ass. That's the only reason."

    26. TV

      Yeah.

    27. JR

      But if you jerk off first, you don't, you don't go through all that.

    28. TV

      Yeah. I did for m- yeah, I guess for me, it became addictive where I would just do that every time and then I was just at home for five years and didn't, you know, go do any dates or anything.

    29. JR

      That's definitely not good.

    30. TV

      Right. And so that's ... Yeah, I guess that's the difference. If you get addicted to it and you find that it's just a repeat pattern, so you're not spending time with people at all.
