    Bruce Lee’s legacy, dying young, and “new stuff” fatigue

    1. JR

      Oh, we're live.

    2. AS

      Ah.

    3. JR

      Uh, what are you guys betting on?

    4. AS

      Look, look around real quick. Do you know... What's new?

    5. JR

      Hmm.

    6. AS

      Easy. It's easier than you think.

    7. JR

      Hmm. Bruce Lee?

    8. AS

      Bruce Lee. Yeah, but still-

    9. JR

      I saw that.

    10. JV

      Yeah, I saw that too.

    11. AS

      But still though, he didn't say it. He goes, "I wonder if he'll say it right as he gets on." I said, "No, I should have bet you money."

    12. JR

      Well, I was gonna say it, but I mean, it's-

    13. JV

      If you had looked this way, you'd have seen it right away.

    14. JR

      No, I saw it immediately.

    15. AS

      Bruce.

    16. JR

      He's pretty dope.

    17. AS

      It is dope.

    18. JR

      Yeah.

    19. JV

      Yeah, they just sent those in.

    20. JR

      This guy's a bad motherfucker, Plastic Cell.

    21. JV

      Yep.

    22. JR

      ... does some shit.

    23. AS

      There's a great, there's a great hip hop album I used to listen to in high school, and they used one of his quotes, one of my favorites. He says, "Honestly expressing oneself is really hard to do. I can use, I can use really fancy movements and show you really crazy things, but to honestly express myself, that is really hard to do." It's a gr- it's like a beautiful little sound clip before they start the song, but it's like just him talking to someone.

    24. JR

      Isn't it humbling when someone dies really young like he does and they did way more in their life than you ever will? (laughs)

    25. AS

      Makes me sad. (laughs) Like, what am I gonna do?

    26. JR

      You stop and think about it, like, who the fuck else has had that kind of an impact and... You know, he died in, what, 1970 something?

    27. AS

      In the '70s, yeah.

    28. JR

      Yeah.

    29. AS

      And he was young.

    30. JR

      Yeah. P- I think he was like 30 or 31 or 32 or something like that. Find out how old Bruce Lee was when he died. It's not like... I was listening to Hendrix last night on the way to the studio, or on the way to the, uh, Comedy Store.

  2. 2:199:38

    Watching athletes age: Big3 basketball vs combat sports longevity

    1. AS

      That's kinda like, uh, yes- yesterday I was, when I was running, they have this thing called The Big Three. It's a, it's a post-NBA league for players to play in once they, once they retire. I mean, it's just three on three, but it's really sad to watch guys that have been retired for like 10 years hooping, because you're like, this is just bad. It's like, it's like s- You wanna just remember them when they were amazing-

    2. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    3. AS

      ... but now they're just old, too old to be... It's like, it's like circus-y, you know what I mean? Like, people are showing up just to like see those names, but they're, they're-

    4. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    5. AS

      It's really bad to watch.

    6. JR

      How old are they?

    7. AS

      I mean, there is no minimum. I just think it's ev- You have to be retired from the league to play in it.

    8. JR

      Right.

    9. AS

      But, like, I mean the average age has gotta be f- 40, maybe.

    10. JR

      See, it depends on the sport and the athlete.

    11. AS

      Well, basketball is-

    12. JR

      Like, Bernard Hopkins was fighting-

    13. AS

      Yeah.

    14. JR

      ... in his 40s at his best.

    15. AS

      Different though.

    16. JR

      Yeah.

    17. AS

      Basketball is just this... It's a, it's such a young man's game. I mean-

    18. JR

      But so is boxing.

    19. AS

      I know, but there's something about it that's like hard to watch an a- a dude with gray hair missing free throws.

    20. JR

      Mm.

    21. AS

      That's a weird... A guy who used to be phenomenal.

    22. JR

      I understand what you're saying, but I disagree in the fact-

    23. AS

      Yeah.

    24. JR

      ... that it's even sadder watching an old guy get the fuck beat out of him-

    25. AS

      (laughs) Yeah.

    26. JR

      ... that used to be good.

    27. AS

      Yeah, yeah, that's sad.

    28. JR

      You know?

    29. AS

      That's sad.

    30. JR

      It's-

  3. 9:3812:35

    NBA ‘strategy’ and Shaq stories: fouls, size, and Fear Factor memories

    1. AS

      But we would have you foul as hard as you can to really fuck up their best players.

    2. JR

      Oh, that's-

    3. AS

      You know what I mean? That's strategy, and then Jamie and I would have to bang it out.

    4. A(

      Yeah, that's, uh, that's crazy.

    5. JR

      That's way too dicky. Do they have that? They have that in hockey.

    6. A(

      Oh, they do it in the NBA too.

    7. AS

      Oh, they do it in the NBA. Same thing.

    8. JR

      They do it in the NBA?

    9. A(

      Mm-hmm.

    10. AS

      Yeah.

    11. A(

      And guys get pissed 'cause it ruins their career and costs millions of dollars.

    12. JR

      Oh my God.

    13. AS

      I mean, Hack-a-Shaq- Hack-a-Shaq was the original. Like, they used to foul Shaq so... 'Cause they knew w- what were they gonna do to stop him?

    14. JR

      Right.

    15. AS

      He's a fucking truck, so he would just get the ball. They would tomahawk him as hard as they could.

    16. JR

      Oh my God.

    17. AS

      Yeah, man. It was o- and he used to complain about it and it was funny 'cause, 'cause k- you know, couch sports fans are always like, "Oh, shut the fuck up. You're huge." You have no idea how... He, he is big, but another huge dude that's just throwing their arm as hard as they can all game.

    18. JR

      Oh, yeah.

    19. AS

      Dude, he, he... I mean, he gets totally fucked up from that.

    20. JR

      Wow. I didn't know that.

    21. AS

      Yeah, Hack-a-Shaq was like the b- he was like the begin-... It happened before that. Old NBA people will be like, "That's bullshit. They did it in the '70s." But Shaq was just the biggest guy that's ever played with so much agility.

    22. JR

      He's so big. Whenever I shake his hand, I'm like, "What is that?"

    23. AS

      It's absurd.

    24. JR

      Is that a hand?

    25. AS

      Yeah.

    26. JR

      It's like a desk.

    27. AS

      (laughs)

    28. JR

      It's like sh-

    29. A(

      (laughs) It's like a desk!

    30. JR

      It's like a desk. He's like, "Hey man, what's up? How you doing, bro?" Look-

  4. 12:3514:08

    UFC heavyweight limits and ‘what if’ giant athletes fought

    1. JR

      It's kinda weird that like the UFC has a weight limit. Like you c-

    2. AS

      What's the top out?

    3. JR

      265.

    4. AS

      Yeah.

    5. JR

      Isn't that weird?

    6. AS

      Yeah, why is that?

    7. JR

      I don't know.

    8. AS

      Does it get-

    9. JR

      There's a hi- there's a super heavy, super heavy... We've never had a super heavy fight, but super heavyweight is 265 and above.

    10. AS

      Well, who's the heaviest fighter that's ever fought?

    11. JR

      265 when they weigh in.

    12. AS

      Yeah.

    13. JR

      After that, probably Brock. Brock was, uh, cutting weight to make 265.

    14. AS

      Wasn't he around 300 pounds at one point?

    15. JR

      Yeah, oh, for sure.

    16. AS

      Yeah, man, that's fucking insane.

    17. JR

      And it's a different kind of 300 pounds too.

    18. AS

      Shaq is 330.

    19. JR

      Shaq is 330.

    20. AS

      He's 7'1".

    21. JR

      He's 7'1". (laughs)

    22. AS

      (laughs) His shoes are 22.

    23. JR

      Uh.

    24. AS

      22. They're almost two-

    25. JR

      Jesus.

    26. AS

      His foot is two feet. That's his foot.

    27. JR

      Jesus.

    28. AS

      That's how fucking bi-

    29. JR

      That's his foot?

    30. AS

      Yeah. His foot is two feet.

  5. 14:0817:22

    Nick Nolte, Hollywood run-ins, and Joe’s ‘Quake days’ computer obsession

    1. JR

      Nick Nolte, what, how good is that guy?

    2. AS

      Oh, it's awesome. Oh, he's so good in this fucking movie.

    3. JR

      You know what he's amazing in?

    4. AS

      Hm.

    5. JR

      It wasn't even a good movie, but that movie Warrior. You ever see that movie Warrior?

    6. AS

      Oh yeah, dude. Yeah. He's, I've, I love Nick Nolte.

    7. JR

      He's so good in that movie.

    8. AS

      He's so fucking good.

    9. JR

      So good.

    10. AS

      The movie wasn't that good.

    11. JR

      It was flawed.

    12. AS

      Yeah, but he's good.

    13. JR

      You know who Brian Calum is in that movie?

    14. AS

      Mm-mm.

    15. JR

      He played me.

    16. AS

      Hmm.

    17. JR

      Literally did my role in the UFC in that movie.

    18. AS

      Oh yeah, he was the annou- he's the announcer.

    19. JR

      And like modeled me. He was telling me, he goes, "I'm just gonna do you. I'm gonna pretend I'm you."

    20. AS

      Except for like the skill and the talent and all that stuff.

    21. JR

      Oh, don't say that.

    22. AS

      Burn.

    23. JR

      He's gonna listen, he's gonna listen.

    24. AS

      I'm coming after you, Calum.

    25. JR

      Bro, don't do it, man.

    26. AS

      You son of a bitch.

    27. JR

      But, uh-

    28. AS

      You fight me, Brian.

    29. JR

      Yeah, there he is right there. But Nick Nolte's in that fucking movie. Nick Nolte plays the dad of one of the guys that's fighting and there he is like-

    30. AS

      Dude, look at dad.

  6. 17:2221:06

    Fortnite, esports money, and how gaming became a career

    1. JR

      You know what scares the shit out of me though?

    2. AS

      Huh?

    3. JR

      It's those multi role player... What is it? Multi... Those giant role playing games.

    4. AS

      Like World of Warcraft?

    5. JR

      What do they call them? Yeah, what are the... What's the name of them?

    6. JV

      Massively multi online-

    7. JR

      Yeah.

    8. JV

      Massive multi online role playing games.

    9. JR

      Yeah. MMORPG.

    10. AS

      What, is that what Fortnite is?

    11. JR

      No.

    12. AS

      I sound like a fucking dad. Don't, don't laugh at me.

    13. JR

      Fortnite is a shooter. It's a third person? You third person?

    14. JV

      Yeah, that's third person, yeah.

    15. AS

      But isn't there... But aren't you with a massive community of people?

    16. JV

      There's 100, 100 people, yeah.

    17. AS

      Yeah, that's fucking-

    18. JR

      Oh, there's 100 people in the game with you?

    19. JV

      Yeah.

    20. AS

      That's a lot, dude.

    21. JR

      Yeah. Well, that's a death match, a Quake death match. A lot of times, you... Not really 100, but it can be 100.

    22. AS

      100 seems like it's absurd. How many people are on your squad, are on your team?

    23. JV

      Up to four.

    24. AS

      Oh, shit.

    25. JV

      Unless you're playing a 50 on 50 match, which is like a special, uh-

    26. AS

      Is it random assignments of teams or you go in picking your teams?

    27. JV

      You pick, you go with your own team. Or you can, you actually can go in random too. It's, you can do everything you want.

    28. AS

      God, I can't wait to hear the comments on this video about, "How does he not know about Fortnite, dude?"

    29. JR

      People get so mad. They get so mad when-

    30. AS

      They're just like, "What a fucking idiot."

  7. 21:0623:24

    Parenting, shame, and the Tonya Harding/Kerrigan saga as a case study

    1. JR

      Parents do that when they're fucking assholes.

    2. AS

      Oh, yeah.

    3. JR

      They take advan... They, they, they take credit for it.

    4. AS

      I did that.

    5. JR

      Hey, I toughened you up and that's why you're like this.

    6. AS

      Yup. Like, uh, you see I, Tonya?

    7. JR

      No, I didn't and I can't.

    8. AS

      Dude, that... But that's what that is.

    9. JR

      Is it?

    10. AS

      Her mom was f... You saw that shit?

    11. JR

      Of course.

    12. AS

      Her mom was fucking atrocious to her.

    13. JR

      Of course.

    14. AS

      And then when every time she got something she's like, "You know why that is? 'Cause I made you that way."

    15. JR

      Oh, my god.

    16. AS

      So, she, she mind-fucked her, her whole life into being like-

    17. JR

      (sighs)

    18. AS

      Even at her... Even when he, she... Even after the, after the incident, you know, even after the Kerrigan thing, she was like, "I, I was always the one that made you the killer."

    19. JR

      Oh.

    20. AS

      "That's why we do this."

    21. JR

      Great.

    22. AS

      Oh, she fucked her so... But I mean, she fucked with her head so deep.

    23. JR

      You remember when she was boxing?

    24. AS

      Oh, yeah, man.

    25. JR

      Tonya Harding was boxing.

    26. AS

      They talk about it on the movie.

    27. JR

      She boxed Doug Stanhope. She boxed Doug Stanhope.

    28. AS

      She... Yeah. (laughs)

    29. JR

      Yeah, yeah. I was, I was his coach.

    30. AS

      Yeah. She was actually all right. She looked all right.

    Comedy Store crash, drugs, and the Caitlyn Jenner discussion via Kyle Dunnigan

    1. JR

      Speaking of meth, did you see the video of that guy who drove into the parking lot of The Comedy Store and smashed into a car and almost hit one of the guys that was there?

    2. AS

      What? When was this?

    3. JR

      Real recently.

    4. AS

      Oh, shit.

    5. JR

      Some fucking dude tweaked out of his mind came driving through the back of the parking lot in The Comedy Store during the day, slammed into a car, slammed into one of the employee's cars-

    6. AS

      Police cars.

    7. JR

      ... that was parked back there. They got security camera footage of it. Guys are jumping out of the way. This guy's just, like, completely out of his mind.

    8. AS

      Holy shit.

    9. JR

      Turns out the guy, um, years ago killed a kid, driving. Yeah, slammed his car into some fucking kid and, and killed him. Like, a young girl.

    10. AS

      Fuck.

    11. JR

      And then many years later is still driving fucked up.

    12. AS

      Holy shit.

    13. JR

      Yeah. Tried to back out, tried to get out of there.

    14. AS

      Got stuck?

    15. JR

      They grabbed him. Yeah. What is this? This the guy?

    16. AS

      This is the guy.

    17. JR

      "Arrested after vehicle collision at The Comedy Store." Yeah, that guy killed a kid driving and he's still doing it. And he-

    18. AS

      So, he peeled o-... He was peeling off of Sunset and smashed into The Comedy Store.

    19. JR

      He was out of his mind, man.

    20. AS

      Yeah.

    21. JR

      Just out of his mind. Came in sideways, went around the corner and, like, went through the, the driveway, went around the corner into the lot and came in, like... Literally turned sideways and slammed into a car.

    22. AS

      What the fuck?

    23. JR

      (clears throat) Drugs, dude. The wrong kinda drugs.

    24. AS

      Mm-hmm.

    25. JR

      Who knows what kinda pills this fucking asshole is on?... but that same guy had killed a kid. He was still driving like that.

    26. AS

      Pumping.

    27. JR

      Imagine, imagine you kill a kid driving fucked up, you get out of jail, and then you're still doing it.

    28. AS

      Yeah. What the fuck?

    29. JR

      And he's not even that old. You look at him.

    30. AS

      Yeah, he looked like a kid to me. He looked young.

  9. 41:4144:03

    Language, identity, and ‘transracial’ as the line society won’t cross

    1. JR

      But it's like trannies. He's really into trannies.

    2. AS

      For real?

    3. JR

      Yeah, yeah.

    4. AS

      Good for him. Whatever. Whatever the fuck he likes.

    5. JR

      But he, he says it. Like you're not supposed to say it anymore. Like I just, I g- I just got in trouble.

    6. AS

      Oh, dude. I got fucking lit up for that online. I, I, I didn't... I, I was with gay friends at a ... What I put online, having the most fun at a Mexican tranny bar. People lit me the fuck up. That, it's not, that's not a word we... I was like, "Okay." I was with gay dudes that they joked about it with me. I thought it was a... Okay. The- it's... You can say transvestite. You can't say tranny.

    7. JR

      Justin Martindale can say whatever he wants.

    8. AS

      He does.

    9. JR

      He can.

    10. AS

      Yeah. Yeah, he does.

    11. JR

      'Cause he's gay.

    12. AS

      He says whatever the fuck he wants. Yeah.

    13. JR

      'Cause he's a flamboyant gay guy.

    14. AS

      Yeah. He can get away with it.

    15. JR

      (coughs)

    16. AS

      He does. He gets away with fuck- he says fucking everything.

    17. JR

      Yeah, but like a flamboyant gay guy could say that and no one would say shit. But a straight white guy from Chicago?

    18. AS

      Done.

    19. JR

      You asshole.

    20. AS

      You piece of shit.

    21. JR

      You fucking asshole.

    22. AS

      Justin Martindale, he yells the N-word all the time, constantly.

    23. JR

      I didn't know that.

    24. AS

      No, he doesn't, but I just wanted to put that out there. (laughs)

    25. JR

      I'd probably tell him to stop.

    26. AS

      Yeah. (laughs)

    27. JR

      I don't think you get that kind of freedom just by being gay. But if you were a gay Black guy.

    28. AS

      Yeah. Then you can.

    29. JR

      (laughs)

    30. AS

      Then you're, I think you're good.

    Gingers, attraction quirks, and Netflix ‘fat-phobic’ controversy to diet science

    1. AS

      I feel like redheads are like the ... I think I've got a little bit of a pass.

    2. JR

      You should have a pass.

    3. AS

      We have a pass.

    4. JR

      You guys are maligned.

    5. AS

      Yeah, we have a pass.

    6. JR

      Gingers? There's Kick It Ginger Day on South Park.

    7. AS

      We're dead. We're d- we're go- we're, we're gonna be gone in like 50 years.

    8. JR

      Did you ever see a dye in your hair?

    9. AS

      No.

    10. JR

      I knew a dude who had red hair, he used to dye his eyebrows.

    11. AS

      What a fucking weirdo, man. That's a weird fucking thing to do.

    12. JR

      Dy- dyed his hair, dyed his eyebrows, just looked different.

    13. AS

      'Cause he was that sad about having red hair?

    14. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    15. AS

      When I was a kid-

    16. JR

      Yeah.

    17. AS

      ... when I was a kid it bothered me like crazy, and then I got older and I didn't give a fuck. And then when you get older, s- there's some women that like it, that like, that are, that, that, that think that's m- more attractive 'cause it's red.

    18. JR

      Do you feel bad for them?

    19. AS

      Yeah, I think they're dumb. (laughs)

    20. JR

      (laughs)

    21. AS

      They're fucking idiots. I know something went wrong.

    22. JR

      (coughs) It's funny like what people like. Like some people like thick ankles.

    23. AS

      Oh, yeah. No-

    24. JR

      Like a girl with thick ankles.

    25. AS

      What's your weirdest specific thing that you th- that when ... Like the f- when you first started getting into chicks and you fi- figured out what your style was, what was the one thing you're like, "That's weird and most people don't like that about girls"?

    26. JR

      I don't have one of those.

    27. AS

      You don't have any of that shit?

    28. JR

      No. Not on-

    29. AS

      Like some guys love cellulite, you know some girls like, like, like-

    30. JR

      Oh, Jesus.

  11. 50:3457:11

    Fighting damage and concussions: from sore jaws to Overeem’s brutal KO

    1. JR

      It's weird how vulnerable your jaw is. Like, feel that. Go, go side to side with your jaw.

    2. AS

      Yeah. It breaks so easy.

    3. JR

      So vulnerable.

    4. AS

      I can't believe more people don't crack their fucking jaw.

    5. JR

      When I was fighting, I was always ... My jaw was always sore. Like, you always get dinged, like you'd always get (crackling sound) in sparring. So like you'd be chewing and eating like this, like, "Oh."

    6. AS

      It's painful?

    7. JR

      Yeah, my jaw was always sore.

    8. AS

      You feel it in your teeth? Do your teeth feel it?

    9. JR

      No, you feel it in your ... Like, where the joint is.

    10. AS

      Yeah.

    11. JR

      You gotta, you gotta realize your jaw is, in many ways, like your knee.

    12. AS

      Yeah.

    13. JR

      Right? Like, you know, your knee gets sore?

    14. AS

      It's on, like, a hinge.

    15. JR

      So your knee gets sore and it, like, "Ah," it hurts when you do that. When you get punched a bunch, your jaw gets sore. Like when you're chewing, it hurts.

    16. AS

      Yeah. What's ... Is that the worst? Or is, like, rib, rib ... A constant rib punching worse?

    17. JR

      No, the worst is your head.

    18. AS

      Always?

    19. JR

      By far. Yeah, by far, because it's scary.

    20. AS

      Yeah.

    21. JR

      Like, the ribs aren't scary. It's like, "Ah." I've had broken ribs. Like (clears throat) , one of my ribs, like on this side, like, sticks out more 'cause it's been cracked and it's all fucked up. I probably broke at least three ribs, maybe more. I think I broke f- ... I probably broke at least three. I don't know. I've, I've, I've definitely had some tears in the cartilage in between the ribs too.

    22. AS

      Mm-hmm.

    23. JR

      I promise they don't really do much about it. When you get a broken rib, they don't put you in a cast.

    24. AS

      Yeah, you can't do shit.

    25. JR

      They don't really do much about it. You're just in fucking agony for a while, until it heals up.

    26. AS

      I never broke ribs. I don't know that, I don't know if that's painful or not.

    27. JR

      Ribs suck, but you're still okay. When your head hurts, you're scared.

    28. AS

      Oh, yeah. I've had three concussions. I fucking ...

    29. JR

      How'd you get concussions?

    30. AS

      It's all sports. One football, two basketball.

    Comedy culture policing: Just for Laughs code of conduct and ‘vexatious’ jokes

    1. AS

      But this is what's fucked about school, these school rule things, like athletes, we always had this guilty by association shit. If you're there, you get suspended, even if you had nothing to do with it.

    2. JR

      What?

    3. AS

      Athlete code of conduct.

    4. JR

      Wait a minute.

    5. AS

      So, so, so if I'm at a party and it gets busted up by the cops, and I don't have alcohol or drugs on me or nothing, but I'm at that party and it gets back to the school and the coach hears, I get suspended from whatever.

    6. JR

      Oh, speaking of which, Burr sent me this.

    7. AS

      What?

    8. JR

      There's a code of conduct at Netflix. (clears throat) Yeah.

    9. AS

      In like an internal thing?

    10. JR

      No, I'm sorry, at, uh, Just for Laughs rather.

    11. AS

      Oh, shit. Yeah.

    12. JR

      Just for La- I'm gonna send you this, Young Jamie. Uh, Netflix has a, or... Why do I keep saying Netflix? Just for Laughs.

    13. AS

      Just for Laughs Montreal.

    14. JR

      Yeah. Has a code of conduct.

    15. AS

      Did they post it everywhere, I'm sure?

    16. JR

      Oh, yeah.

    17. AS

      Yeah, of course.

    18. JR

      I'm sure. Yeah. Hold on a second.

    19. JV

      For artists or for people?

    20. AS

      It's gotta be for artists.

    21. JV

      Yeah.

    22. JR

      For the comics.

    23. AS

      Yeah.

    24. JV

      Okay.

    25. JR

      Here.

    26. AS

      That's so funny.

    27. JR

      I sent it. I just sent it to you, Jamie. Yeah.

    28. AS

    29. JR
