EVERY SPOKEN WORD

  1. 0:001:38

    Wake-and-bake chaos, cleaning binges, and the “meth house is always clean” joke

    1. JR

      Last chance for romance here. Otherwise, we're just gonna film and then put it up. Is it live? Really? Are you sure?

    2. JP

      I centered my chi. I centered my chi.

    3. JR

      You made it happen. We've been having problems with our TriCaster.

    4. JP

      (laughs)

    5. JR

      It doesn't wanna try. It's like, "Not today." Every third show, it don't, just won't.

    6. JP

      I'm tired.

    7. JR

      It won't go live.

    8. JP

      I centered the chi, though. I, I sent the energy.

    9. JR

      Dude, you made it happen.

    10. JP

      I did.

    11. JR

      This is a rare wake-and-bake day.

    12. JP

      I know.

    13. JR

      I don't do this.

    14. JP

      You don't?

    15. JR

      No. No, I get shit done first, usually.

    16. JP

      Can you not get shit done when you wake and bake?

    17. JR

      I kinda fuck off things if I get-

    18. JP

      (laughs)

    19. JR

      If I get high at 9:00 in the morning. I'm like, "Ah!"

    20. JP

      (laughs)

    21. JR

      What's im- what's important, really?

    22. JP

      I, I get stuff done.

    23. JR

      Really?

    24. JP

      Yeah. I have, like, you know ... I'll do, like, my cup of coffee and a joint and I'll get some stuff done. I joke that it's like it makes me super motivated to do not a goddamn thing, but I get stuff done. I mean, a- all the stuff I get done is I, like, vacuum seven times. (laughs)

    25. JR

      That's good, too.

    26. JP

      I cleaned my apartment, like, four times the other day.

    27. JR

      That's a meth thing. You sure someone's not slipping meth into your weed?

    28. JP

      I mean, come on. Let's not put all the rumors out there now, but you got any, bro?

    29. JR

      Eddie Bravo used to say that about girls. Like, he would ... If he was dating a girl that's ... E- Eddie used to work at a strip club and he dated a lot of the gals that, uh, were performers there.

    30. JP

      (laughs)

  2. 1:382:48

    Backyard chickens, wildfire fallout, and why coyotes are ‘little wolves’

    1. JP

      I do. I have three dogs. Wait, don't you have, like, a pack of chicken in your backyard?

    2. JR

      I s- ... Dude, I used to. It's a story about-

    3. JP

      What happened to them?

    4. JR

      Coyotes got them all.

    5. JP

      I thought you were up with the bow and arrow.

    6. JR

      N- no. We, we had an issue where our, uh, chicken coop burnt to the ground.

    7. JP

      Oh, fuck.

    8. JR

      In the fire.

    9. JP

      During those fires?

    10. JR

      Yeah, and, uh-

    11. JP

      You lost your ladies?

    12. JR

      No, we didn't. They, they managed to fly out and they were in the yard. We lost two of them because they wouldn't ... We couldn't round them up to get them into the chicken pen and ... 'Cause we got a new chicken pen but it wasn't as big. And then, uh-

    13. JP

      They were too good for it?

    14. JR

      ... coyotes ate those two, and then they realized that they're all in this one pen. And one day we're gone, they opened it up and got in and killed all nine of them.

    15. JP

      (gasps) How'd they o- how'd they open them up?

    16. JR

      They pulled it apart with their teeth.

    17. JP

      Yo, dogs are ... Listen, even domestic ones.

    18. JR

      These are not dogs. Domestic dogs y- but ...

    19. JP

      They're smart.

    20. JR

      The difference between a coyote and a domestic dog is like the difference between a hardened criminal on death row-

    21. JP

      Yeah.

    22. JR

      ... and a baby.

    23. JP

      No, you're 100% right.

    24. JR

      (laughs)

    25. JP

      It's the experience and, and what you had to do to survive.

    26. JR

      That's ... All they've done is survive.

    27. JP

      Yeah, and murder.

    28. JR

      And all ... They don't have a house.

    29. JP

      Right.

    30. JR

      No one's feeding them food. I mean, they're fucking little wolves.

  3. 2:485:31

    Coyote history and a Pangaea detour: continents, oceans, and scale

    1. JR

      Yeah. What was the gentleman, Dan-, um, Coyote America (snaps fingers) The, the author? Goddammit.

    2. JP

      Was he, like, a dude who lived amongst the wolves?

    3. NA

      Flores.

    4. JR

      Yes, Dan Flores.

    5. NA

      Flores.

    6. JR

      No, he's a wildlife biologist and a historian.

    7. JP

      Yeah.

    8. JR

      And he was talking about the history of, uh, coyotes and wolves in North America. Apparently all wild dog species came from North America.

    9. JP

      Mm-hmm.

    10. JR

      Even, like, jackals-

    11. JP

      Yeah.

    12. JR

      ... and shit like that. Like, they made it across over there somehow, like, during the Pangaeus period or some shit.

    13. JP

      What'd you call me? (laughs)

    14. JR

      Pangaea. Do you know what that is?

    15. JP

      It's an era, right?

    16. JR

      No. Yeah. It's ... Well, when they think that all of the, uh, continents were connected together at one point in time.

    17. JP

      Oh, yeah. We were one, we were one flat Earth then. (laughs)

    18. JR

      Yeah. No.

    19. JP

      It was one flat table. (laughs)

    20. JR

      I think it was flat.

    21. JP

      No, no, no. It's obviously not.

    22. JR

      Just a giant chunk and then the rest was water, and then it spread out, which is fucking weird.

    23. JP

      That is weird.

    24. JR

      Like, what is happening?

    25. JP

      How did that ... And, like, also is that happening on our insides on like a s- ... It's obviously on a cellular level. Everything's just splitting and being torn the fuck apart.

    26. JR

      Hmm. There it is. Here's the m- the modern Pangaea map.

    27. JP

      Whoa.

    28. JR

      This is modern?

    29. NA

      Well, I think with the modern, uh, country separations and all that, 'cause they weren't always the same.

    30. JR

      Oh, this is what it looked like if you brought a-

  4. 5:317:46

    The invention of fishing hooks: materials, dating, and 23,000-year-old finds

    1. JR

      Let's guess. How long ago do you think they invented the fish hook? Did they even know?

    2. JP

      I'm gonna say it's a really old invention. Um-

    3. JR

      Super old.

    4. JP

      F-

    5. NA

      Yeah, it's like Arrowhead time period.

    6. JP

      Yeah, exactly.

    7. NA

      It's very close to, like-

    8. JP

      Native, native ... Before ... Pre-native Americans.

    9. NA

      But those would've been after, but-

    10. JR

      Those bitches would just break. If you think about a big fish hooking, like, a little thin ... What would they make it out of? Bone, probably? Must be bone.

    11. NA

      Yeah.

    12. JP

      Made of bone.

    13. JR

      Bone's pretty hard.

    14. NA

      Yeah, yeah.

    15. JR

      But you would think, like-

    16. JP

      Stone would be too heavy.

    17. JR

      Yeah. It would-

    18. JP

      That shit would just sink and ...

    19. JR

      Well, it would also break, stone.

    20. JP

      Yeah, it wouldn't be able to hook it well.

    21. JR

      Yeah. Stone-

    22. JP

      It must've been bone.

    23. JR

      I bet it was bone.

    24. JP

      Yeah.

    25. JR

      Yeah.

    26. JP

      But bones get brittle, especially after, like ...You know, they're off the body and they start to-

    27. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    28. JP

      ... calcify and all that.

    29. JR

      Look, uh, but I-

    30. JP

      How old do you think it is? It's gotta be really old.

  5. 7:4612:25

    Morphic resonance and animals learning: rats, apes, and an orangutan spearfishing

    1. JR

      I wonder if they all figured it out at the same time, different spots in the world. You know, I wonder if it's one of those things, like... You know, like, they... There's just some weird thing. Who is that? Is that Rupert Sheldrake? It's the morphic resonance theory. He's got this weird theory that... I think the idea is that if some... A rat learns a maze on the East Coast, rats on the West Coast will learn that maze quicker.

    2. JP

      H- what? Well, how? Like a con- like a-

    3. JR

      They don't know. They don't know.

    4. JP

      ... collective consciousness amongst the rats?

    5. JR

      As weird as it sounds, there might be some sort of strange connection that all rats share. And not just all rats, but all living beings. His argument was that if this is demonstrable with a rat in a maze, that if they did something, like, uh, with human beings, if they could figure out a way to, uh, to prove this, it's likely what's happening. So, like, he wa- he brought up a bunch of different factors, like inventions that are simultaneously taking place, like, all over the world. Like one, and-

    6. JP

      That's strange.

    7. JR

      Yeah, you can attribute some of that to education, right? Like-

    8. JP

      Yeah, definitely education-

    9. JR

      ... people found out.

    10. JP

      ... what's going on, like, the, the, the trends that are happening in education.

    11. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    12. JP

      But, like-

    13. JR

      But they also think there might be something else going on underneath the surface.

    14. JP

      Like, on a different realm?

    15. JR

      Like, if you learn... If we're all a species and you're on one side of the world, you learn something, the people on the other side of the world have, like, greater access to it in some weird way.

    16. JP

      That's really bizarre.

    17. JR

      Yeah.

    18. JP

      That, I don't... That freaks me out. That's like matrixy shit right there.

    19. JR

      But it's also unprovable and you bring it up to real scientists, they get upset with you. But what's-

    20. JP

      Yeah, it's, it's like-

    21. JR

      ... what's interesting though is the ma- the map thing, the maze thing with mice and rats. The... 'Cause I think that's prn-... See if that's been proven. I'm pretty sure it has been.

    22. JP

      What maze thing?

    23. JR

      The, that if you show a maze-

    24. JP

      Oh, right. That they-

    25. JR

      ... to a rat on one side of the country, they learn it quicker on the other side.

    26. JP

      How... I don't understand how that can even be a thing.

    27. JR

      But there's another one that's, that's really interesting, but I don't know how much of this is just because they didn't observe it before. But they've noticed that apes are starting to, um, use tools.

    28. JP

      Like cell phones to text each other?

    29. JR

      No, not that yet.

    30. JP

      Well, ho- weren't monkeys using tools? So why would-

  6. 12:2520:36

    23andMe skepticism, Neanderthal traits, and gross history: Roman toilets to modern bidets

    1. JR

      You know, um, have you ever had your 23andMe done?

    2. JP

      I'm, I don't want... Uh.

    3. JR

      You don't wanna know?

    4. JP

      I thought about it, but, like, how accurate is it, you know? It's like-

    5. JR

      What's with the science?

    6. NA

      (laughs)

    7. JP

      You're just gonna trust a piece of paper that comes back? I wanna go to a lab and see who's doing this. Like, how do you know you're not just getting some, like, you know, general packet that they're sending back to you? How do you know?

    8. JR

      Why would they, why would they do that?

    9. JP

      Because they got your money. Why would anyone do anything? Why are motherfuckers throwing fits in grocery stores? People are crazy.

    10. JR

      You know when we're talking about h- if you get high?

    11. JP

      Yeah.

    12. JR

      Like, you get a little bit, just a l- a little bit psychotic. Like, there's something-

    13. JP

      Yeah.

    14. JR

      ... some- something happens-

    15. JP

      Yeah.

    16. JR

      ... and you really do, like, enter into the world of schizophrenia.

    17. JP

      Yeah.

    18. JR

      You just did.

    19. JP

      (laughs)

    20. JR

      How do I know this science is good? How do I know?

    21. JP

      Have you done it?

    22. JR

      Uh, yeah, yeah, I did it.

    23. JP

      And what did it say?

    24. JR

      All kinds of stuff, mostly stuff I knew, that I'm mostly Italian-

    25. JP

      Yeah.

    26. JR

      ... and Irish, but they, they put Irish and English together, which I thought was interesting. I have 1.6% African, um, 57% more Neanderthal traits than the average person.

    27. JP

      I coulda told you that-

    28. JR

      I coulda told. That's-

    29. JP

      ... without even the blood work.

    30. JR

      I saw that, I saw the paperwork and I'm like, "Uh, uh, figures."

  7. 20:3627:45

    Public bathrooms, homelessness odor, ‘natural’ deodorant myths, and skin infections from grappling

    1. JP

      Do you, do you, like, only crap in certain places or will you go, like... 'Cause on the road, you travel a lot, like, you just gotta go when you gotta go.

    2. JR

      You do what you gotta do what you gotta do.

    3. JP

      Do you do what you gotta do?

    4. JR

      Yeah. I'm not scared to take a shit-

    5. JP

      You're not discriminating?

    6. JR

      ... in public, no.

    7. JP

      But not even just being Joe Rogan and, like, being next to-

    8. JR

      (snorts)

    9. JP

      ... the person who's like-

    10. JR

      C- What are you gonna do?

    11. JP

      I heard Joe Rogan-

    12. JR

      We're all just shitting.

    13. JP

      (fart noise)

    14. JR

      Yeah.

    15. JP

      (laughs)

    16. NA

      Have you seen the bathrooms, like, at Venice Beach, though? Are you-

    17. JR

      Oh.

    18. NA

      ... going in there?

    19. JP

      I had to once.

    20. JR

      What... Are these public toilets-

    21. NA

      Yeah. Yeah.

    22. JR

      ... in Venice Beach?

    23. JP

      Oh.

    24. NA

      Yeah.

    25. JR

      Oh, see, whenever you deal... And then that smell of homeless.

    26. NA

      Yeah, there's a-

    27. JR

      That wino pee smell.

    28. JP

      That's Rome. That is Rome.

    29. JR

      There's a thing where s- you got piss-soaked clothes that people have been wearing-

    30. JP

      (sighs)

  8. 27:4536:38

    Worm horror stories, food safety regulation, and why pork freaks them out

    1. JR

      Hookworm is, was super common in the South and it literally diminishes your capacity for thinking. So like the idea of like the slack-jawed-

    2. JP

      Maybe I got a couple of those.

    3. JR

      ... Southern dumb person.

    4. JP

      Theo.

    5. JR

      No.

    6. JP

      (laughs) I'm just kidding.

    7. JR

      Theo, I'm sorry. I didn't know she was gonna do that.

    8. JP

      (laughs)

    9. JR

      I would never have her on, bro. You know I love you.

    10. JP

      I love you, Theo.

    11. JR

      No. No, not Theo.

    12. JP

      (laughs)

    13. JR

      But maybe s- people Theo knows.

    14. JP

      His relatives.

    15. JR

      If you had to say it in a Theo Von voice, like-

    16. JP

      (laughs)

    17. JR

      ... "Maybe a few people that I know."

    18. JP

      Yes.

    19. JR

      Yeah.

    20. JP

      Yeah.

    21. JR

      They were all hookworm, uh, victims.

    22. JP

      What? So, how do you get hookworm?

    23. JR

      Walking around barefoot.

    24. JP

      Ugh. I mean, there, there's just too many-

    25. JR

      Get, do.

    26. JP

      ... opportunities to get these worms in your body.

    27. JR

      Oh, for sure.

    28. JP

      That's so gross.

    29. JR

      Like, when you see dudes who go to like some foreign country and they get scratched and they come back and a botfly's glowing out of their head.

    30. JP

      And their belly's flying out.

  9. 36:3840:29

    Clickbait rabbit holes, bought views, Florida headlines, and the creator economy absurdity

    1. JR

      Candida auris, the deadly fungal-

    2. JP

      (gasps)

    3. JR

      ... infection resistant to treatment. That's what it's called.

    4. JP

      Ooh, that sounds bad.

    5. JR

      Candida, yeah.

    6. JP

      Aura. Sounds like a, a new solar system.

    7. JR

      Unstoppable fungus killing the world's banana supply. Man addicted to sniffing his socks-

    8. NA

      That's a separate, separate link.

    9. JR

      Hold on.

    10. JP

      Man ... (laughs) You gotta, you gotta clickbait.

    11. NA

      Separate link. That's a clickbait.

    12. JR

      Man addicted to sniffing his socks-

    13. JP

      (laughs)

    14. JR

      ... develops severe fungal lung infection.

    15. JP

      Oh, shit.

    16. JR

      Oh, my God.

    17. JP

      This is ...

    18. JR

      That is not real.

    19. JP

      This can't be real. This is, like, stoner news.

    20. JR

      L- here's another one-

    21. NA

      Kinda.

    22. JR

      ... link. Socks aren't sexual says Kiwi schoolgirl.

    23. JP

      What?

    24. NA

      This is how you fall down a clickbait click hole real quick.

    25. JR

      (laughs)

    26. JP

      I'm so-Who's writing these, like, Gary Busey? Who's writing these headlines?

    27. JR

      Oh, how about this? How about what Tim Pool told me?

    28. JP

      (laughs)

    29. JR

      Ready for this? You know those clickbait sites where you go to and it's like, uh, "You won't believe-"

    30. NA

      Yeah.

  10. 40:2946:03

    Unboxing culture, niche internet fame, and ‘owning a thing’ (toenails, pedicures, immigrants)

    1. JP

      Yeah, it's... It's people create interactions so that they can videotape them. Parents, man, they gotta stop putting their kids on video. We gotta stop. It's enough.

    2. JR

      You say that, but there's a little kid that's, like, six years old that reviews toys and he makes $20 million a year.

    3. JP

      Oh, he's an all-time millionaire.

    4. JR

      $20 million a year.

    5. JP

      Opening Disney toys.

    6. JR

      Just looking at toys.

    7. JP

      Someone give me-

    8. JR

      Can you imagine?

    9. JP

      ... 100 bucks, I'll open up a box of, you know, toys. I'll do it. 100 beans, that's it.

    10. JR

      Nobody wants to see you open up toys.

    11. JP

      All right, well, fuck it.

    12. JR

      You're not a baby.

    13. JP

      Then I'm gonna find something else.

    14. JR

      They wanna see little cute kids review-

    15. JP

      I'll dress up in a t- in a diaper.

    16. JR

      W- how's this not gonna help?

    17. JP

      Ah, fuck.

    18. JR

      (laughs)

    19. JP

      I gotta find another, I gotta find another thing to make money. (laughs)

    20. JR

      You gotta find another angle.

    21. JP

      Yeah, that kid, he's making a lot of money.

    22. JR

      I was gonna be the YouTube toy guy.

    23. JP

      There's a lady who does it with just her hands, a grown woman.

    24. JR

      She... What does she do with her hands?

    25. JP

      She opens things up. Same thing.

    26. JR

      She has beautiful hands?

    27. JP

      I don't know if they're beautiful. I don't know if they're-

    28. JR

      Does she pull her feet out and start using her feet to s-

    29. JP

      That's what I gotta do.

    30. JR

      Yeah.

  11. 46:0356:18

    Scientology, fake doctors, and the psychology of gullibility and belonging

    1. JR

      There's a, um, a new documentary by the guy who wrote Cope- Cocaine Cowboys, he did Cocaine Cowboys-

    2. JP

      Yeah.

    3. JR

      ... and, uh, a bunch of other documentaries. Uh, Billy Kourde? (clears throat)

    4. JP

      Yep.

    5. JR

      Billy Kourg- (clears throat) Corbin.

    6. JP

      You got it.

    7. JR

      I don't. Why did I choke on this lame? (coughs)

    8. JP

      You need some water?

    9. JR

      Anyway, Billy has a new documentary-

    10. JP

      It's warm.

    11. JR

      ... out, called Scree, uh, Screwball.

    12. JP

      Yeah.

    13. JR

      It's all about Alex Rodriguez and the steroid scandal. And, uh, o- one of the guys in it is a fake doctor who would wear a stethoscope-

    14. JP

      (laughs)

    15. JR

      ... around his neck. Like, he got his, he got his degree at some-

    16. JP

      Oh, my God. (laughs)

    17. JR

      ... janky overseas university. And wasn't legal to practice medicine in the United States.

    18. JP

      (laughs)

    19. JR

      But he would call himself a doctor, and he had, like, this stethoscope that he would wear. And then-

    20. JP

      Out in public?

    21. JR

      Well, in, in his office. He'd walk around with a stethoscope around his neck, like hanging around his neck. Like, just in case he's gonna check your heart.

    22. JP

      (laughs)

    23. JR

      Meanwhile, all he's doing is prescribing steroids.

    24. JP

      (laughs)

    25. JR

      It was, it was amazing.

    26. JP

      He's got it.

    27. NA

      You remember this kid that was walking around, he posed as a doctor and had multiple patients and got arrested-

    28. JR

      Oh, yeah.

    29. JP

      Oh, yes.

    30. NA

      ... like a year or two ago?

  12. 56:181:03:05

    Offense culture, old Hollywood racism, comedy careers, gaming, UFOs, and Everglades python apocalypse

    1. JR

      Yeah. But here's what's weird, and I've talked about this on stage, too. Why is it okay to dress like Genghis Khan?

    2. JP

      Who's dressing like Genghis Khan?

    3. JR

      If you wanna do it for Halloween.

    4. JP

      Why is it okay?

    5. JR

      Yeah.

    6. JP

      What do you mean? Like, it shouldn't be okay?

    7. JR

      Well, you can't be a Nazi. You can't be Hitler.

    8. JP

      Yeah. That's... I mean, that's just... Uh, uh, uh-

    9. JR

      People won't let you.

    10. JP

      That's... Well, it's also kinda lacking creativity. Like, you wanna be a Hitler? It's like dressing up like a sexy baby. Are we really doing this? Is this necessary?

    11. JR

      A lot of people are doing that.

    12. JP

      No one needs to see sexy babies. No one n- needs to see a Hitler.

    13. JR

      Well, slow your roll-

    14. JP

      (laughs)

    15. JR

      ... 'cause some girls should definitely dress like a sexy baby.

    16. JP

      Okay. So, girls can dress like sexy babies, but I can't dress like a baby and open up packages on YouTube?

    17. JR

      You could dress like a baby and open up packages on YouTube.

    18. JP

      Okay.

    19. JR

      No one's stopping you.

    20. JP

      Okay. Well, good. Do it.

    21. JR

      Why are you, like, fighting these invisible foes?

    22. JP

      'Cause you just said that it would be cute, and now... Before, it wasn't, when I wanted to do it.

    23. JR

      I don't know what you're talking about.

    24. JP

      (laughs)

    25. NA

      (laughs)

    26. JR

      I thought... I didn't think you were serious.

    27. JP

      I wasn't. No, I wasn't serious.

    28. JR

      I thought we were all joking around here.

    29. JP

      Cut to this afterwards, and it's just 10 videos of me opening up (laughs) packages of toys.

    30. JR

      Yeah, those-
