EVERY SPOKEN WORD

  1. 0:0015:00

    I have a lot…

    1. JR

      I have a lot of friends that are Fallout crazies. Boom! And we're live. (laughs) Nick DiPaolo.

    2. NP

      Yeah, baby.

    3. JR

      How are you, my friend?

    4. NP

      Good.

    5. JR

      Good to see you, my friend.

    6. NP

      Uh, I can't believe that gym out there.

    7. JR

      It's nice, right?

    8. NP

      With a Porsche parked next to it. You gotta be able to work out where you work.

    9. JR

      If you do that, you get more in.

    10. NP

      Next to your Porsche.

    11. JR

      Yeah.

    12. NP

      Too bad things aren't working out well for you, Joe.

    13. JR

      Oh, I see what you're doing, yeah.

    14. NP

      Yeah. I'm not doing anything. You know me.

    15. JR

      (laughs)

    16. NP

      I'm right up front.

    17. JR

      So we were talking before the podcast, and I said, "Save this," 'cause it's hilarious.

    18. NP

      Yeah.

    19. JR

      Uh, Randy Credico-

    20. NP

      Yes.

    21. JR

      ... who's a standup comedian-

    22. NP

      Yes.

    23. JR

      ... has been involved in this Roger Stone thing?

    24. NP

      Yes. As you know, Roger Stone this morning, the FBI raided... you know, took him out of his house and his pajamas-

    25. JR

      Yeah. (laughs)

    26. NP

      And... (laughs) Who I love, by... Roger Stone interviewed me on InfoWars. He used to love my radio show on Sirius.

    27. JR

      Yeah, they asked him, uh, they asked m- me to get him on, and I was like, "Nah, I think I'm gonna duck that one." (laughs)

    28. NP

      He... Well, he... But he's fucking eccentric and- and-

    29. JR

      He's crazy.

    30. NP

      ... crazy.

  2. 15:0030:00

    Why do you think…

    1. NP

      thank you. Yeah. Thanks, brother.

    2. JR

      Why do you think nothing's gonna happen? You don't think-

    3. NP

      'Cause, uh, well, uh, that's not true. I shouldn't say that because, only because I think Mueller's pretty fucking evil and will come up with something. Well, uh, you know, what impeachment at the, at the worst? But where's the high crimes and misdemeanors? What, what...

    4. JR

      Well, if there was obstruction of justice, if there was collusion, if there was any sort of... If they can prove that there was some sort of concerted effort to undermine democracy.

    5. NP

      Yeah, which I, I don't think-

    6. JR

      If that tries them.

    7. NP

      I, I, I don't think they'll get to the, get them. Even with Roger Stone-

    8. JR

      (laughs)

    9. NP

      They're not charging him with collusion or conspiracy.

    10. JR

      Hmm. What are they charging?

    11. NP

      Just lying and covering up. They don't, they don't have him for collusion or conspiracy.

    12. JR

      Hmm.

    13. NP

      So...

    14. JR

      They're lying and covering up the, uh, interactions with Russians, right? Is that what it is?

    15. NP

      I, I guess that would be Mueller's angle, yeah.

    16. JR

      Yeah. You know, Jamie was talking about something yesterday, and I started listening to this recent Sam Harris podcast, and it is fucking fascinating how much Russian troll farms and all these fake accounts, and what they're trying to do. And one, one of the things they're trying to do is... What Jamie was saying was that that kid with the MAGA hat, with the Native American beating the drum in front of him-

    17. NP

      Yeah. Yeah.

    18. JR

      ... the image of that was posted by this website that turned out to be a Russian-

    19. NP

      In Brazil.

    20. JR

      ... troll farm.

    21. NP

      But it was in Brazil.

    22. JR

      (clears throat) Was it, Jam?

    23. NP

      It was a blogger in Brazil.

    24. GU

      Yeah, it's, uh-

    25. NP

      Yeah.

    26. GU

      Dude, I... When they at CNN looked into it, (clears throat) they just kinda asked Twitter, "What's going on with this account?" And by the time they'd asked them, they just suspended the account, so it's gone.

    27. JR

      But, but you said they suspended the account because the account was a fake account.

    28. GU

      They, yeah, they had, uh, they thought it was just posing as, like, a California teacher.

    29. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    30. NP

      Yeah, her name is Thalia.

  3. 30:0045:00

    Yes. …

    1. JR

      This was... The way she said it, 'cause it's hate speech. I'm like, "You had... You said that so easily."

    2. NP

      Yes.

    3. JR

      "You've never seen this?"

    4. NP

      That's a lot of power.

    5. JR

      But s- it's also a lot of irresponsible power.

    6. NP

      I know.

    7. JR

      Or irresponsible use of power.

    8. NP

      But, but, but, but my point is they're cracking down on people who lean right, whether it's Twitter or-

    9. JR

      Yes.

    10. NP

      You know what I mean?

    11. JR

      That's 100% true. Yeah. And, uh, that's a big fucking problem. Uh, hate speech. Uh, I'm g- we're gonna let Google decide, uh... What's the name of the company that owns Alphabet? Uh, they're gonna decide what, what... I, I brought that up on, I brought that up on, uh, Tough Crowd years ago.

    12. NP

      ... about-

    13. JR

      Wow.

    14. NP

      ... about when you disagree with a liberal or whatever, and you're arguing with them, they always go, "Oh, you're a hater." They would keep saying that and it, it... That's what it turned into. If you dis- disagreed, you're a hater.

    15. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    16. NP

      Now it's you're a bigot or a racist. If you didn't agree with Obama's policies, you're a bigot or a racist. And, and that shit works. That, that's been working for the left for years, but now that there's social media, Google controls a- almost all the information you and I, you and I hear every day. I mean, that's why it's so dangerous. So look up... Yeah, Prager is a, a, a, is the first example that comes to mind. (clears throat) That guy... (clears throat) Excuse me. Um, uh, yeah, because he's, he's, you know, a Christian or whatever.

    17. JR

      Well, he's Jewish.

    18. NP

      But, but he's not... He... Yeah, he's Jewish, but, but, you know-

    19. GU

      Looking it up, it, it... Unless, unless I'm... What I just read was wrong, they weren't del-... Uh, from YouTube at least, they weren't deleted, they were restricted, put it... Like, meaning like they put behind that, like-

    20. NP

      They shut down his show.

    21. GU

      ... that, uh, the, the adult thing, like you have to b- have an account that says you're 18 or older or something like that. And they were fighting and having a lawsuit against that saying that (clears throat) what they have in their videos are not... Shouldn't be behind that, like, that wall, whatever that is. They also then this week-

    22. NP

      But this is my point, you have to go to YouTube to get the story.

    23. JR

      Hold on a second.

    24. GU

      No, I'm on their website. I went to a couple of different websites to see it, but they were also, like, yesterday they had ads blacklisted from Spotify. So they had ads that were, I guess, initially approved and now they have been disapproved-

    25. JR

      It's-

    26. GU

      ... and they haven't really explained to them why.

    27. JR

      Dennis Prager's ads?

    28. GU

      Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.

    29. NP

      Well, he's suing him, so-

    30. JR

      So, but his page is still up?

  4. 45:001:00:00

    Yeah, that's not why.…

    1. JR

      putting the material out, like, right before I was releasing the special. And then afterwards, I decided it was too much of a pain in the ass. But the only reason why I was doing it w- it, it had nothing to do with... She said because they know words can offend.

    2. NP

      Yeah, that's not why.

    3. JR

      And they don't want the consequences.

    4. NP

      Right.

    5. JR

      Well, I'm gonna put it on Netflix.

    6. NP

      Anyways.

    7. JR

      Yes.

    8. NP

      It's gonna be out to the public. It's dope.

    9. JR

      It's offensive. It's g- if you're looking to get offended, go watch my Netflix special. There's plenty in there for you. But I, I need to be able to do it correctly. Like, I'm, I wanna work it out so that it has the maximum amount of laughs with a minimum amount of, of people getting it the wrong way, right? So this, it's all about wording and setting it up right and listening to it and going, "Maybe there's a better way." And you can't do that if somebody releases your shit.

    10. NP

      Right.

    11. JR

      And so these people that don't know comedy and they're saying this, like, you have no idea what the process is like. You just don't. And if you, if you do, you would respect it and appreciate it.

    12. NP

      That's right.

    13. JR

      And the people that are comics that don't respect and appreciate the process, like, fuck-

    14. NP

      That's where we are now.

    15. JR

      ... fuck them. But it's just because people can make an impact, they can have a reaction. Just like the people yelling at her, you know, that, that she said, she said, "Oh, my grandmother would be rolling over in her grave."

    16. NP

      Up, up, up. Say they and them! Say they and them!

    17. JR

      They're just trying to get a reaction from you. They're just trying to push buttons. They're just knowing that they can say something and they can have some sort of an impact. "We're gonna get Louis C.K. banned from here." You know, "We're gonna get Nick DiPaolo kicked out of this club. You can't come to this club. You talk negatively about women and women's empowerment, and that's dangerous to girls."

    18. NP

      I only get kicked out of one place and, of course, one of the best clubs in the country.

    19. JR

      What club?

    20. NP

      Denver Comedy Works.

    21. JR

      (gasps) You got kicked out of the Comedy Works?

    22. NP

      Like, 20 something years ago.

    23. JR

      For what?

    24. NP

      Well, there was a bachelorette party ruining the middle guy's set, the, the emcee's set. And then I went up, my second time there, I think. That's a great club, obviously.

    25. JR

      Great club.

    26. NP

      And they started yelling shit out, like, "Take off your shirt, you dick, da, da." And I said, "Can we throw these fat cunts out?"

    27. JR

      (screams)

    28. NP

      And turns out a fat cunt was running the club, so I was, uh, kicked out of it.

    29. JR

      Oh, you son of a bitch.

    30. NP

      Hey, well, that's how I feel, Joe.

  5. 1:00:001:03:35

    (laughs) …

    1. NP

      five minutes. You go, Joe goes... I thought Joe was gonna go, "Good thing you didn't hit her back." Joe goes, "I would've fucking leg-whipped her."

    2. JR

      (laughs)

    3. NP

      Which made me laugh so hard because she's this frail thing and if you leg-whipped her, you would've taken her legs clear off, like a helicopter blade. I was belly laughing for five... If you leg-whipped her, I'm just-

    4. JR

      Leg kick her.

    5. NP

      Yeah.

    6. JR

      I don't, I don't think I would've said whip.

    7. NP

      I thought you said... Okay, well, excuse me.

    8. JR

      Well, you gotta-

    9. NP

      Um.

    10. JR

      You can't let someone punch you. The, the real problem is, like someone could really damage-

    11. NP

      Even a girl?

    12. JR

      Yeah.

    13. NP

      (sighs) I saw you in the parking lot.

    14. JR

      Really hurt your eye.

    15. NP

      That clip of you in the park. Look, I have a permanent dent in my face.

    16. JR

      Yeah, yeah.

    17. NP

      You can see it. I have a permanent dent. I don't know if she had a ring on. (laughs)

    18. JR

      Really?

    19. NP

      There's a little dent there.

    20. JR

      Yeah. She probably had a ring on. Yeah, you... Someone could hit you in the eye and you'd lose-

    21. NP

      I never went down, Joe.

    22. JR

      Good for you.

    23. NP

      That would've been embarrassing.

    24. JR

      You, you could lose your vision. I mean, that's 100% possible. It happens to people all the time.

    25. NP

      I had a slight concussion. She really fucking f- caught me flush.

    26. JR

      (sighs) I'm not shocked, especially if you didn't know it was coming.

    27. NP

      What, what would you have done?

    28. JR

      I don't know. I hope I wouldn't have done what I think I would've done.

    29. NP

      I know, 'cause you could lose a lot of... I know you get insurance for that, but, but-

    30. JR

      The, the, my... The real problem is when you're not thinking. When you get hit and then you immediately respond. That's a real problem 'cause look, you've seen that video of that giant six-foot-five guy who punched that 11-year-old girl in the face.
