EVERY SPOKEN WORD

  1. 0:0015:00

    You don't want them…

    1. JR

      You don't want them to know.

    2. EG

      (laughs)

    3. JR

      Boom! And we're live, Eric Griffin. So we were talking before-

    4. EG

      Thank you.

    5. JR

      ... this podcast how you mix it up with the Android watch but the Apple phone. It's very curious.

    6. EG

      Yeah, well, see, I used to be all Samsung. I loved the, the Android, and the watch is great, I love how it interacts.

    7. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    8. EG

      But then I get a girlfriend who has an iPhone.

    9. JR

      Right?

    10. EG

      And she's like, "I wanna FaceTime with you."

    11. JR

      So why don't you tell her to get Skype?

    12. EG

      Yeah (sighs) .

    13. JR

      Skype app?

    14. EG

      You're married. You don't understand-

    15. JR

      Yeah.

    16. EG

      ... what, like, you can't... Anyway.

    17. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    18. EG

      (laughs) I got, I-

    19. JR

      Gotta set standards.

    20. EG

      Well hey, I, I'm not the sa- standard guy.

    21. JR

      Line is in the sand. Line is in the sand, brother.

    22. EG

      (laughs) So then I... But then they have, like, a, a, they had this app on the i- Apple now called Gear.

    23. JR

      Oh.

    24. EG

      Which lets you hook up y- your phone, but you can't really interact with it. You can't, like, talk or anything. But it's actually kinda nice. You just wanna know stuff's going on.

    25. JR

      It's probably, yeah, we were saying it's probably better that you can't interact with it.

    26. EG

      Yeah.

    27. JR

      'Cause Jamie was telling me that they, you could do walkie-talkie with your iPhones now.

    28. JV

      Yeah, they're d- it's still being announced right now so I don't know all the details. But the Worldwide Developers Conference is going on, the WWDC, so they're announce the new operating system, the new Apple Watch, and the new aut- like, automatic workout detection, walkie-talkie mode, and something else is going on.

    29. JR

      There's just too much.

    30. EG

      I have a Apple Watch too. I love it. You can leave it at m- at least sometimes I leave my phone. I don't even bring my phone with me.

  2. 15:0030:00

    Mm-hmm. …

    1. EG

      register-

    2. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    3. EG

      ... and then you'll get everyone's vote. I always say votes should be like the Columbia DVD had them. Remember Columbia DVDs?

    4. JR

      Oh, they would just... They planned on-

    5. EG

      They would just send them.

    6. JR

      ... just giving it to you free.

    7. EG

      You know, you... So use your... Your... So if you're a Republican, right?

    8. JR

      Yeah.

    9. EG

      Then your vote goes to the Republican until you go, "I don't want this Republican." (laughs)

    10. JR

      I wonder what the numbers of people that... If people don't know what we're talking about with Columbia DVD because we're old, but back in the day you would sign up for like cassette tapes-

    11. EG

      Yes.

    12. JR

      ... and they would send you a bunch of cassettes. Like you would pick like what you liked.

    13. EG

      It was like a book club too. Book club.

    14. JR

      Yeah, yeah, that too. But they would send them to you, but it was only like a dollar and you would get like 15 cassettes, you know-

    15. EG

      Yeah.

    16. JR

      ... you get like Aerosmith and... Is it still around?

    17. EG

      They still got it.

    18. JV

      It's still on. It's still on.

    19. EG

      But-

    20. JR

      Get the fuck out of here.

    21. EG

      No, but check it out. They finally made it so they don't just send it automatically because people were qu- people were quitting the service.

    22. JR

      Yeah.

    23. EG

      But they would just send you... So you would pay and you had like say three days and if you, if you didn't send it back, they would charge you the $9.

    24. JR

      Right.

    25. EG

      So that's what I'm saying about voting. This is how we should vote. Like-

    26. JR

      $35 is expensive.

    27. EG

      Like that page right there he's showing us should be like all your candidates for Democrat and if you don't-

    28. JR

      Wait a minute.

    29. EG

      ... you have three days to pick and if you don't pick, your vote goes to them. That's how they should do it.

    30. JR

      Show me, show me what you just showed me. What are you doing? What'd you show me?

  3. 30:0045:00

    I... No! You can…

    1. JR

    2. EG

      I... No! You can just go to my Instagram, you can just see-

    3. JR

      Ah, shit.

    4. EG

      Oh, my God. I'm so sor-... Oh, God, I'm in trouble.

    5. JR

      That's a good age.

    6. EG

      This is what I said.

    7. JR

      Ah, she's a young lady. What's the problem?

    8. EG

      Yes, I know. I know. She might be- But that's part of the problem. You know what I mean? But no, but she... No, 'cause she, she, w- doesn't want people to know.

    9. JR

      Right.

    10. EG

      I get it. So, she wants, she wants people to know, th- think she's 23. Oh. So, I s- so, I said, "Hey, that, that makes me look like-" A creeper. "... a creeper!" Yeah. Even the, even this age difference is a little iffy, right? (laughs)

    11. JR

      That's so... It's like, it's weird how we just make rules as to how old someone can be to be with someone else. But it changes after a while, right? Like, once you get... Like, if the dude is, like, 90-

    12. EG

      He's gotta be eight.

    13. JR

      ... and the woman's 50, we don't give a fuck.

    14. EG

      Don't give a fuck.

    15. JR

      Whatever.

    16. EG

      No, no, I-

    17. JR

      40, 40-year difference (laughs)

    18. EG

      No, no. What I, I always say, to me, it's like, it's gotta be 30. (groans) Like, you know, like, she's at the cusp of it. I think, like-

    19. JR

      Uh-huh.

    20. EG

      ... I think once a woman gets to, like, 28, 29, 30, in that age range, then this, the other part, it doesn't matter. Depending on what they got going on in their life, but age-

    21. JR

      Right.

    22. EG

      It's not about the age, it's about experience level. It's about where are you in your life? So, the, the one, one thing I struggle with is that, like, look, I'm knee-deep in my career.

    23. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    24. EG

      But I remember when, when I was 30, I wasn't doing this. I was b-

    25. JR

      Right.

    26. EG

      I had just started.

    27. JR

      You were hustling.

    28. EG

      I was hustling at th- so, I go, I have to remember that, that this is her hustle years.

    29. JR

      So, you started doing standup at 30?

    30. EG

      Yeah, yeah, yeah. I, I-

  4. 45:0058:24

    Isn't it weird, though?…

    1. EG

      think-

    2. JR

      Isn't it weird, though?

    3. EG

      But you had hair.

    4. JR

      Yeah.

    5. EG

      It was a whole different guy.

    6. JR

      Yeah.

    7. EG

      You know, you weren't this ... You're def- you're a solid muscle now. Like, I don't know if you have ... What's your body fat count right now?

    8. JR

      I don't get it checked.

    9. EG

      Oh, okay. That's, that's probably better. It's probably better to think that it's better than it probably is.

    10. JR

      (laughs)

    11. EG

      I think, I think if you went and ... You might be disappointed. (laughs)

    12. JR

      The last time I checked, it was 10%.

    13. EG

      Oh, my God.

    14. JR

      Which is not, which is not very low.

    15. EG

      I'm probably, like, 30%, 35% body fat.

    16. JR

      Really?

    17. EG

      That's crazy. Yeah.

    18. JR

      That's not good.

    19. EG

      I gotta do something. It's not good.

    20. JR

      Yeah, that's not good.

    21. EG

      But, I ... You know what it is? I, I, my, uh ... But, my blood pressure's good.

    22. JR

      That's good.

    23. EG

      Yeah, 'cause I ... You know, I, I, I started-

    24. JR

      You told me you were boxing now.

    25. EG

      I'm trying to box, man.

    26. JR

      You need to start working out.

    27. EG

      I went to ... I'm going to the boxing thing and it's like-

    28. JR

      Where are you going?

    29. EG

      I go to GloveWorks.

    30. JR

      Where's that?
