EVERY SPOKEN WORD

  1. 0:0015:00

    Five, four, three, two,…

    1. JR

      Five, four, three, two, one. (heart beating) Dude, it seemed like we just did this.

    2. BK

      It does feel like-

    3. TS

      (laughs)

    4. BK

      ... pretty recent.

    5. JR

      How was it a year ago?

    6. BK

      I don't know.

    7. TS

      I don't know.

    8. JR

      It's already October. I'm scared. Let's just fucking spark up a joint and bill right now.

    9. BK

      What?

    10. TS

      (laughs)

    11. BK

      No.

    12. JR

      With these fat blunts.

    13. BK

      One of them Backwoods.

    14. JR

      Smell one of these Backwoods. These are so good. Just smell it, just smell it.

    15. TS

      Whoa.

    16. JR

      Yeah.

    17. TS

      You know everyone was commenting on your-

    18. BK

      Let me see that.

    19. TS

      ... blunt rolling technique after the Elon Musk thing?

    20. JR

      Oh, I don't roll them.

    21. TS

      I know they were like... And I knew that. And they were like-

    22. JR

      Yeah.

    23. TS

      ... "Oh, what is he... He just, he can barely roll a blunt." And I was like, "It's professionally rolled. It's a pretty r- good blunt."

    24. JR

      You can't read those comments.

    25. BK

      That does smell good, man.

    26. JR

      That smells so good. They taste good too. Those are, those are phenomenal. The, I l- I'm a blunt man. You know, I know it's probably bad for your lungs, but there's something about the tobacco gets you a little high up and then the marijuana sort of like-

    27. BK

      Mm-hmm.

    28. JR

      ... spreads you out and it puts you in like a new dimension.

    29. BK

      Yeah, that's-

    30. JR

      I like it.

  2. 15:0030:00

    Yeah. …

    1. JR

      are just drunk and everyone's terrible, so you're just laughing at basically anything.

    2. BK

      Yeah.

    3. JR

      You know.

    4. BK

      I think it does- it like-

    5. You can laugh... Someone can tell by how bad they are, you know. (laughs)

    6. JR

      Yeah, for sure. (laughs)

    7. BK

      People are just like slamming the table-

    8. JR

      Peter Chen made a almost career out of that.

    9. BK

      (laughs)

    10. JR

      Yeah. Peter Chen. He was a guy who was so bad, um, I... Chris Maguire was auditioning, uh, for Mitzy, and, uh, Peter t- Mitzy thought it was funny 'cause M- Mitzy was so hilarious. She thought it was funny that one of the worst comics in LA, don't pull this picture up-

    11. BK

      (laughs)

    12. (laughs)

    13. JR

      ... he was hosting the open mic night.

    14. BK

      Really?

    15. JR

      Yeah. She thought it was funny and, but I knew that Maguire was gonna have to audition for Mitzy, so I said, "Fuck that." So I called up the store, I said, "I'm hosting." I said, "I'll host an open mic night." And so I came down and host- hosted the open mic night just, just to keep him from hosting it.

    16. BK

      That's great.

    17. So you did that like as a save for your buddy?

    18. JR

      Yes.

    19. BK

      Yeah.

    20. JR

      Yeah, 'cause I knew he was gonna, uh, y- you know, there's a, you, there would be too much to address and you have three minutes. There'd be too much, too much chaos to address.

    21. BK

      I hosted a show as a favor one time and ended up snapping on a lady in the audience. (laughs)

    22. (laughs)

    23. And ruined the show. And they were like, "Thanks."

    24. JR

      (laughs)

    25. BK

      (laughs)

    26. JR

      Why did you, uh-

    27. BK

      Dude, 'cause I arri- it was a showcase for Montreal and I arrived at the show before it, right? So there's like a seven o'clock thing and then the nine o'clock showcase. And they asked me to, to host it-

    28. (laughs)

    29. ... and the, and a lady at the seven o'clock show, at the earlier show is in, like, the front row just yelling out drunk. And she's older and she's like, "Yeah," like, tagging every comic's thing, commenting on it-

    30. (sighs)

  3. 30:0045:00

    I don't know, man.…

    1. BK

    2. JR

      I don't know, man. I'm trying to figure out what to do. I've always had that.

    3. TS

      Do both numbers go to that same phone?

    4. JR

      No, but the other thing about the new iPhone that Jamie was telling me is that you can, um, you can have two different phone numbers. Were you telling me that? No, Brian was. You can have two different phone numbers on the iPhone.

    5. BK

      On the new one.

    6. JR

      Yeah.

    7. TS

      Oh, yeah.

    8. JR

      It can take, it takes like a second card. So say like if you have a business line-

    9. BK

      Oh, that's-

    10. JR

      ... and a home line-

    11. BK

      Great.

    12. JR

      ... and then you take that SIM card out for the business line or you disable the business line. And you're like, "Fuck you."

    13. BK

      (laughs)

    14. TS

      Oh. Ooh.

    15. JR

      And then you don't get business calls. So say like if you have a phone that only like your best friends, your wife-

    16. BK

      Yeah.

    17. JR

      ... have, and then the next is like agents and other bullshit.

    18. BK

      Yeah.

    19. JR

      ... but, uh-

    20. BK

      Or you just set up a whole decoy number, for like people you don't wanna have your number.

    21. JR

      Oh, that's good. Yeah.

    22. TS

      Jesus.

    23. JR

      But you can also do something like that with, um ... What is that thing? Um, (smacks lips) there's a (taps table) Google Voice, right? Doesn't Google Voice have some shit like that?

    24. TS

      Yeah, you can have a separate ph- ... That's the th- ... You can have that-

    25. BK

      (clears throat)

    26. JR

      ... rerouted to your phone number-

    27. TS

      Yeah.

    28. JR

      ... and have like a business line kinda thing. Look, look at this. This thing, (music plays) it works as a remote control, so check this out. I'll crank it up.

    29. TS

      You take pictures with it too, right?

    30. JR

      Yep. Oh, yeah.

  4. 45:001:00:00

    That is. That's wild,…

    1. JR

    2. BK

      That is. That's wild, man.

    3. JR

      Dude, that... And there's the upper deck. That-

    4. BK

      Holy shit.

    5. JR

      ... it doesn't seem real and it just happened.

    6. BK

      And you, you did this in the same night, uh, Burr did The Forum.

    7. JR

      Yeah.

    8. TS

      20,000.

    9. BK

      Yeah. Yeah.

    10. JR

      No, it's-

    11. BK

      No, uh, Burr didn't-

    12. JR

      No, The Forum's not 20,000. The Forum's-

    13. BK

      Bill Cir-

    14. JR

      ... is 9,000. The Western Forum?

    15. BK

      The Great Western Forum? I don't know where it is.

    16. JR

      Yeah.

    17. TS

      I don't... The thing online said it was 20,000 people.

    18. JR

      I think they're wrong 'cause Dean Delray said it was 9,000.

    19. BK

      Okay.

    20. JR

      I think they just made a mistake. But it's huge either way. It's-

    21. BK

      It's huge.

    22. TS

      So I was thinking last night, and I know you... I know that you're not like this. I... You know, you're a little bit like this. But to compare different times of comedy, right? Um, and compare people. And I know you don't like comparing people, but has there ever been a time in comedy where this many acts were selling arenas, this many acts were selling theaters, and this many acts were selling out clubs?

    23. JR

      I don't think so. Well, well, Burr sold out Madison Square Garden, which is way bigger than that. Madison Square Garden I think is 18,000.

    24. BK

      That's true.

    25. JR

      How about this? Sebastian is ready to sell four sh-... He's already sold out three.

    26. BK

      Yeah.

    27. JR

      He's... They opened up a fourth show at Madison Square Garden.

    28. BK

      Yeah.

    29. JR

      Just stop and think about that.

    30. BK

      Yeah.

  5. 1:00:001:01:56

    Yeah. …

    1. JR

      acts, help out other comics.

    2. BK

      Yeah.

    3. JR

      And as, as you rise up, they'll do the same, they'll do the same for the other guys. And you see them doing that for, they'll tell, start taking guys with them on the road.

    4. BK

      Spread it around. Yeah.

    5. JR

      Yeah. And look, man, who do we like more than comics and where, what do you, who do you wanna hang out with more than comedians, you know?

    6. BK

      Yeah.

    7. JR

      And, and, like, they're, we're the most fun for us to hang out with. We're, we could say ridiculous shit and then we'll laugh at it. We won't, like, "Well, I don't know why you said that, Tom. You shouldn't have called that lady a cunt, especially not her friend."

    8. TS

      (laughs)

    9. JR

      And then, you know, "I think you owe her son an apology. I mean, if I was her son, I would've clocked you."

    10. BK

      Yeah.

    11. TS

      (laughs)

    12. BK

      Yeah, it's like-

    13. JR

      And people wouldn't think it's funny.

    14. BK

      Of course.

    15. JR

      If you were working at Xerox and you said all that, people would, you know, they'd bring you into HR.

    16. BK

      You're a liability. We gotta let you go.

    17. JR

      Yeah, yeah.

    18. BK

      We gotta let you go.

    19. TS

      (laughs)

    20. BK

      It's true. I know. And those are the worst people that, to, like, get stuck at a dinner with or something. You know?

    21. JR

      Yeah.

    22. TS

      Oh.

    23. BK

      You're like, "Oh, shit."

    24. JR

      Yeah.

    25. BK

      Somebody-

    26. JR

      You just gotta torture them.

    27. BK

      Yeah, it's the worst.

    28. JR

      Yeah. I used to feel terrible when I was around those people. I used to, I used to feel like there's something wrong with me. You know?

    29. BK

      Yeah. 'Cause, yeah, of course.

    30. JR

      Real stuck up, super conservative people.
