EVERY SPOKEN WORD

  1. 0:0015:00

    (popping sounds) Five, four, three,…

    1. JR

      (popping sounds) Five, four, three, two... Ladies and gentlemen, l- live and available right now, Everlast, Whitey Ford, House of Pain, you.

    2. EV

      Yes, sir.

    3. JR

      How are you, sir?

    4. EV

      How are you doing, man?

    5. JR

      Good to see you, brother. What's going on?

    6. EV

      Good to see you again. Been a minute.

    7. JR

      It's good. You going to Vegas this weekend for the fights?

    8. EV

      Yeah, man. We got a little party the night before.

    9. JR

      Ooh-whee.

    10. EV

      We're- we're doing a little show at the Brooklyn Bowl with my buddy, Evidence, and- and s- my crew, Cycle Realm.

    11. JR

      No headphones? You don't wanna wear headphones?

    12. EV

      No, I'ma put the headphones on.

    13. JR

      I feel like I'm alone here with the headphones on.

    14. EV

      There we go.

    15. JR

      There we go. Now, we're-

    16. EV

      Now, we're-

    17. JR

      ... now, we're-

    18. EV

      ... now, we're on the same team.

    19. JR

      ... now, we're locked in.

    20. EV

      (laughs)

    21. JR

      Um, is this out? This is out, right?

    22. EV

      Yeah. It came out about, uh, three weeks ago, may- something like that, maybe a month.

    23. JR

      Beautiful.

    24. EV

      I've been in Europe for the whole month just touring, so...

    25. JR

      This is like everything. Everlast Presents Whitey Ford's House of Pain.

    26. EV

      Yeah. It's- it's-

    27. JR

      A lot going on there.

    28. EV

      ... you know, it's everything in the toolbox I brought to this record, so that's kinda where the title came from. Just, you know, it's been eight years since my last real studio album, so, eh, I figured, "Hey, maybe this could be the last one." I hope not, but-

    29. JR

      What?

    30. EV

      ... just like, uh, y- you know the- I mean, like, you know the- my story. It's like, you know, with the- the family.

  2. 15:0030:00

    Finding something to put…

    1. JR

      fucking loves gambling. And so, he's always, like, giving you stats on this and that.

    2. EV

      Finding something to put a bet on, right?

    3. JR

      (laughs) I mean, it's not even things he actually bets on, but he's always thinking that way. Like-

    4. EV

      Could you bet on it?

    5. JR

      Yeah. Could... I wonder if you could bet on how many people f- who fist bump Bruce Buffer.

    6. EV

      You could find somebody to take the bet.

    7. JR

      The thought process would be you're not totally in the zone if you got the time to fist bump Bruce Buffer. I'm not sure if I buy it, though.

    8. EV

      No, well, 'cause it's also your moment-

    9. JR

      Yeah.

    10. EV

      ... when he's saying your name.

    11. JR

      Yeah, yeah.

    12. EV

      And it's like... (laughs)

    13. JR

      Yeah.

    14. EV

      I'd be in that.

    15. JR

      I know.

    16. EV

      I'd be, "Yeah."

    17. JR

      Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. It's, uh... It's tricky. It's tricky.

    18. EV

      Well, it sounds like it's about even, so-

    19. JR

      Yeah.

    20. EV

      ... it's just one of them things.

    21. JR

      I- someone should do stats on it, 'cause Jon Anik has only done, like, uh, you know, just off the top of his head. We're trying to figure it out.

    22. EV

      There's some guy in his basement right now starting (laughs) -

    23. JR

      Oh, for sure.

    24. EV

      ... starting to watch the fights.

    25. JR

      Yeah. For sure.

    26. EV

      Write it down. Okay, let's take the notes.

    27. JR

      Well, you could basically bet on anything these days, right?

    28. EV

      In Vegas? Yeah.

    29. JR

      Yeah.

    30. EV

      You can pretty much find a lot of things-

  3. 30:0045:00

    (laughs) …

    1. JR

      of Bruce Jenner without being called transphobic.

    2. EV

      (laughs)

    3. JR

      So I had to go a circuitous route.

    4. EV

      It, it was brilliant.

    5. JR

      I had to go a long route-

    6. EV

      Saw you do it at con... At the com...

    7. JR

      ... but I had to drag Kanye in there too.

    8. EV

      First time I even saw it.

    9. JR

      Yeah.

    10. EV

      Yeah.

    11. JR

      I had to drag Kanye in that too. 'Cause look-

    12. EV

      He's... Dude, every... Look, drag every male-

    13. JR

      Look at him.

    14. EV

      ... that's gone into that circle into it.

    15. JR

      Yes.

    16. JV

      Every one.

    17. EV

      Every single one.

    18. JR

      We lost them all.

    19. EV

      It's spooky.

    20. JR

      Yeah, they, they-

    21. EV

      Lamar Odom was a, like a world champion-

    22. JR

      (laughs)

    23. EV

      ... and a basketball player, dude.

    24. JR

      He just got cracked out.

    25. EV

      Reggie Bush, what happened to him?

    26. JR

      Get dragged into work. Reggie Bush got wise and fucking took-

    27. EV

      What, did he just dip?

    28. JR

      ... bailed. He's got my old car.... he, Reggie Bush has my 1970 Barracuda.

    29. EV

      Is that right?

    30. JR

      Yeah, yeah. I sold it to this other dude, and this other dude sold it to Reggie and he drives around that car. It's a dope car.

  4. 45:001:00:00

    (laughs) And there's some…

    1. EV

      how they still live, but...

    2. JR

      (laughs) And there's some sects, sects, S-E-C-Ts, that, uh, branched off and got real, real freaky.

    3. EV

      On the scale that the Catholic Church has done things, I'm... There's... it's unprecedented for sure.

    4. JR

      Unprecedented?

    5. EV

      Completely.

    6. JR

      Yeah, because they, they actively shield these people from prosecution.

    7. EV

      Yeah.

    8. JR

      And they keep it all in house.

    9. EV

      But isn't, isn't a lot... I mean, aren't people actually getting, like, like, I've heard some things like they're going after, like, cardinals and shit.

    10. JR

      Yes.

    11. EV

      Like, like criminally. Like, like they're pressing-

    12. JR

      Well, that is why the Pope had to step down.

    13. EV

      ... yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

    14. JR

      The last pope had to step down 'cause they wanted to prosecute him for crimes against humanity.

    15. EV

      Oh, yeah, 'cause he was one of the dudes who orchestrated a lot of that stuff.

    16. JR

      Exactly.

    17. EV

      The guy right before him.

    18. JR

      He moved a guy who went on to molest 100 deaf children.

    19. EV

      Yeah. I remember reading stuff about that.

    20. JR

      It's dark, man. It's dark.

    21. EV

      It's very dark.

    22. JR

      And it's one of those things where people, you know, (sighs) it's been a part of their family, it's been a part of their family's family, it's been a part of their history, they go to church, they pay their respects, everything's okay. They, they don't wanna hear it. People don't wanna hear it. But it's over- the ov- the w- evidence is just so overwhelming. There's so much, so much awful shit-

    23. EV

      I mean-

    24. JR

      ... that's attached to that church.

    25. EV

      ... who's denying it is the point? I mean, I think-

    26. JR

      Right.

    27. EV

      You know, I just think, again, people, like you're saying, you get... I was raised Catholic. I just, by the time I was like... I'm... they had did this thing called confirmation.

    28. JR

      Mm-hmm. Yeah.

    29. EV

      Which is sort of, like, this... a similar thing to what... This is the time that you're becoming a man, you're making your own choices.

    30. JR

      Right.

  5. 1:00:001:03:34

    Mm-hmm. Oh yeah. …

    1. EV

      there's an era of his career that I look at and I'm like, "Whoa man, there's a lot of genius shit he was doing musically."

    2. JR

      Mm-hmm. Oh yeah.

    3. EV

      Like a lot of records he was doing. And then I don't know what it is, but to me, I, to me now... And I don't say this really in a judgmental way, but he's a professional troll now.

    4. JR

      A little bit.

    5. EV

      He's just like... That's the most successful people in the, in the entertainment business now, if you're not an amazing actor or a super amazing-

    6. JR

      Right.

    7. EV

      ... you know-

    8. JR

      Yeah.

    9. EV

      ... whatever, is like just keeping people trolling. I remember-

    10. JR

      Right.

    11. EV

      ... he, he dr- he literally dropped a song like at some point like eight months ago where that was like, "Poopity scoop, scoopity poopity boop, poopity scoopity whoop."

    12. JR

      Yeah.

    13. EV

      You know, I swear to... And y-

    14. JR

      Yeah.

    15. EV

      And that was the song, it lasted that long.

    16. JR

      Yeah, Jamie came and played it for me-

    17. EV

      Yeah.

    18. JR

      ... where he told me the lyrics-

    19. EV

      Yeah.

    20. JR

      ... and I told him to shut the fuck up.

    21. EV

      Yeah, dude.

    22. JR

      (laughs)

    23. EV

      No, but it's like, it's again, it's the spectacle.

    24. JR

      I'm like, "Get that away from me, Jamie. You stop putting this evil in my head."

    25. EV

      It's the spectacle, like I mean, I mean, I made this album here. That's music.

    26. JR

      Yeah.

    27. EV

      You know what I mean? This is music-

    28. JR

      Yeah.

    29. EV

      ... like a lot of people don't give a fuck anymore.

    30. JR

      Well, you're not that guy. You, you've never been a I need publicity guy.
