      Boom, and we're live.

    2. MC

      And we're live.

    3. JR

      Hey, pull the sucker up there.

    4. MC

      Get that a little closer? A little closer?

    5. JR

      Yeah, okay. Yeah, right about there.

    6. MC

      Yeah, here we go. All right.

    7. JR

      How are you, fellas? What's going on?

    8. MC

      Fantastic. Uh, how are you doing?

    9. JR

      Very nice to meet you.

    10. MC

      Nice to meet you, too.

    11. JR

      You're remarkably normal.

    12. MC

      Oh, thanks. (laughs)

    13. JR

      (laughs)

    14. MC

      You know, people are always struck at, uh, how normal I am.

    15. JR

      (laughs)

    16. MC

      I'm like, it's just like, "Wow, really?" I think my, my reputation-

    17. JR

      Like, you made it through the maze-

    18. MC

      I guess so.

    19. JR

      ... of being a famous child.

    20. MC

      Yeah, yeah.

    21. JR

      That's a very unusual maze.

    22. MC

      Uh, yeah, uh, my life is unique to me. That's what I like to say. You know, yeah, and, uh, I'm almost like a peerless person, like to a certain-

    23. JR

      Yeah.

    24. MC

      ... extent. There's not too many people I can look left and right, and we, you know, I, I ... And like, we have similar experiences, you know?

    25. JR

      Yeah, is there anybody that you ever contacted, like Jodie Foster or someone who's made it through and seems pretty put together?

    26. MC

      Not really. Like-

    27. JR

      No?

    28. MC

      No, not really. I mean, it's kind of a weird cold call, you know?

    29. JR

      Right.

    30. MC

      Kind of just like, "Hey, Jodie Foster." (laughs)

  2. 15:0030:00

    (laughs) …

    1. MC

      a bunch of, uh, uh, Sean Lennons running around the house.

    2. JR

      (laughs)

    3. MC

      That's what I'm looking for. (laughs)

    4. JR

      Oh, oh my goodness.

    5. MC

      Yeah, yeah. No, uh, 'cause it's funny, like, you know, like, uh, I, I'm, like, it's almost like I feel entitled to make, like, Asian jokes because I have an Asian girlfriend kinda thing. But, like-

    6. JR

      I don't think you're allowed.

    7. MC

      I don't think I'm a... Well, I, I do it with her, like all the time.

    8. JR

      Oh.

    9. MC

      But, like, I don't do it in public.

    10. JR

      Don't let anybody know. (laughs)

    11. MC

      Yeah. No, no. No, it's like, it's like, "Oh," it's like, "Oh, baby. You're my Yoko."

    12. JR

      Ooh.

    13. MC

      Looking at her just like, you know, like, yeah. Wait, look, no, she's like, "You're, you're, you're gonna be my downfall."

    14. JR

      You're the most hated person in all of music.

    15. MC

      Yeah, yeah, exactly. (laughs)

    16. JR

      Yay. (laughs)

    17. MC

      Exactly. Looking at her, uh-

    18. JR

      You used to be able to if you were married to an Asian woman 10, 15 years ago.

    19. MC

      Yeah.

    20. JR

      It'd be no problem.

    21. MC

      I think if I, uh, I think if I have Asian babies, I'd be allowed to. (laughs)

    22. JR

      I don't even think so, man. I don't even think so.

    23. MC

      Well, because, you know, I, I, I'd, I'd have to deal with it every kinda, like, day kinda thing.

    24. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    25. MC

      And it's like, "Oh, well, like, I can, you know, I understand the struggle kinda thing." Like, you know, I'm trying to shield my kids looking at-

    26. JR

      Not good enough.

    27. MC

      Yeah, you don't think so?

    28. JR

      They'll come after you.

    29. MC

      You don't think so?

    30. JR

      Yeah.

  3. 30:0045:00

    Yeah? …

    1. MC

      I, you know-

    2. JR

      Yeah?

    3. MC

      ... I'd probably, yeah, I'd probably be even more charming.

    4. JR

      (laughs)

    5. MC

      (laughs) I'd do it just better. (laughs)

    6. JR

      (laughs) Oh, of course you would, right?

    7. MC

      Yeah, exactly.

    8. JR

      Go back and do it now.

    9. MC

      Yeah.

    10. JR

      Can you imagine if you just, uh, have your brain in a little kid's body?

    11. MC

      Uh, yeah. No, I, I, I, I would kill it.

    12. JR

      Just running shit in grade school.

    13. MC

      I would so kill it, like, in school. Like-

    14. JR

      Oh, psychological warfare.

    15. MC

      Oh, yeah, you kidding me?

    16. JR

      They wouldn't know what's coming.

    17. MC

    18. JR

      Those little fucks?

    19. MC

      Yeah. I was, I was-

    20. JR

      You'd twist their little brains up in knots.

    21. MC

      Oh, exactly. No, it would, that would be great. I'm pretty sure that's what, uh, 30 Go- Going on 13 was, right? (laughs) And that going-

    22. JR

      What's that?

    23. MC

      Uh, that ... Isn't that a Jennifer Garner movie? You know, you know...

    24. JR
