EVERY SPOKEN WORD

  1. 0:001:32

    Catching up: lifting, rolling, and the absurdity of hobbit feet

    1. JR

      AJ Braud. (laughs) You are watched.

    2. EB

      My brother, good to see you as always.

    3. JR

      (laughs) Always good to see you, man.

    4. EB

      And thanks for jumping in this, uh, short notice. For the folks who don't know, I was supposed to have Kevin Leon today, but Kevin and I, we fucked up. It was partially my fuck up, partially his fuck up. But he'll be on, on Wednesday.

    5. JR

      Yeah. AJ Braud was in the neighborhood getting pumped, my friend.

    6. EB

      (laughs)

    7. JR

      Getting, getting solid. You've been lifting the weights. How, how steady are you lifting now?

    8. EB

      Uh, I try to get three days a week, but shit gets crazy sometimes and I can only get two.

    9. JR

      Dude, if I stop for just a couple weeks, I start, at 51, you start getting so weak, even on TRT. Y- Everything just starts slipping. Your body's like, "No, we don't need to be lifting heavy shit."

    10. EB

      Dude, I'm sore as fuck.

    11. JR

      I'm sure.

    12. EB

      I've been, I've been rolling with little people the last few months.

    13. JR

      Like, what kind of little people?

    14. EB

      Uh-

    15. JR

      Hobbits?

    16. EB

      (laughs) I wish. Shit-

    17. JR

      Shit.

    18. EB

      ... I'd fuck them up.

    19. JR

      Do you think so?

    20. EB

      Yeah.

    21. JR

      I think hobbits would be extraordinarily strong with hairy feet.

    22. EB

      They're Footlocker.

    23. JR

      There's probably a lot of, like, some kinda... No, man, I bet their feet are fucking so strong, you could never Footlocker a hobbit.

    24. EB

      Dude, have you seen the size of their heels? Come on, man.

    25. JR

      They have giant heels, but I bet their ligaments and shit are different. I bet...

    26. EB

      Inside, you don't know, I'll fuck them up.

    27. JR

      It's, yeah, you know, that's weird because they're all, they're all baref- This is weird about the hobbits, right? They're barefoot, they got furry ass feet, they have giant feet because, you know, obviously they had to wear those, those feet over the shoes. But even in the books, didn't did the, didn't it, did they said they had big, hairy feet-

    28. EB

      Dude, look at those feet.

    29. JR

      ... even in the books. Yeah, the hobbit's feet, bro.

    30. EB

      I'd toe hold the shit out of that. I have an easy toe hold right there.

  2. 1:323:35

    Foot health rabbit hole: bunions, toe spreaders, and barefoot running claims

    1. JR

      Maybe. Maybe. My thinking is, if their feet are that hairy, they got... Oh, Jesus Christ, what happened to that lady? Don't do this to me, Jamie. This is a podcast. We can't be doing-

    2. EB

      Is that a person?

    3. JR

      That's gout.

    4. JV

      Oh, damn. Through fucking-

    5. JR

      Someone's got-

    6. JV

      It looks like-

    7. JR

      ... gout inflammate... No, man, that's real. Did you think that was a hobbit picture?

    8. JV

      Yeah, you did. (laughs) Oh, that's hilarious.

    9. JR

      It's all hobbit feet. Oh my God, Google Image got you again.

    10. EB

      Isn't that elephantitis?

    11. JR

      That's an algorithm. That's the Russians. They're trying to fuck with the show. No, what that is is bunions, first of all. That's a painful thing that happens to your big toe. Some of it's genetic and some of it is putting your toes into pointed shoes for, like, long periods of time. Like people who have to go to work, like ladies particular, they wear, like, super uncomfortable shoes that smush their toes up like that. Your toes aren't supposed to be like that.

    12. EB

      I've seen this thing on Instagram where they could fix that now-

    13. JR

      Yeah, they can f-

    14. EB

      ... with, like, rubber bands.

    15. JR

      Yes. Well-

    16. EB

      You think that's real?

    17. JR

      ... I think, well, they, they have yoga toes, there's some shit that you use that you can, you shove your feet in between these, like, styrofoam things and it stretches 'em out.

    18. EB

      Yeah. Yeah.

    19. JR

      Apparently that's supposed to be good for them. Um, Vibram shoes is good. Like those-

    20. EB

      They still make those?

    21. JR

      I run in those, son.

    22. EB

      Didn't they get sued or something?

    23. JR

      They did get sued.

    24. EB

      Propaganda?

    25. JR

      By a bunch of pussies.

    26. EB

      Really?

    27. JR

      Yeah, a bunch of P, "I hurt my foot."

    28. EB

      Hey, I used to, you know, I used to wear them too.

    29. JR

      Yeah, look, man, they're, they're harder to run in. No bullshit.

    30. EB

      They feel good though. I like them.

  3. 3:3512:41

    Andy Ruiz shocks the world: heavyweight boxing, body types, and ‘bringing back guts’

    1. JR

      Like, they have insane endurance and they live up in that mountain and they just run around. Oh, speaking of Mexicans, one of the main reasons you're here, I wanna talk to you is because you're my favorite Mexican, and now we have a Mexican American heavyweight champion of the motherfucking world.

    2. EB

      That's crazy.

    3. JR

      How crazy is that?

    4. EB

      That's insane. I can't believe it.

    5. JR

      Viva la Mexico.

    6. EB

      Yeah. Jesus Christ.

    7. JR

      (laughs)

    8. EB

      I didn't know Mexico had a heavyweight boxer.

    9. JR

      Oh my God, Andy Ruiz is the shit.

    10. EB

      He is.

    11. JR

      He is the shit. He's what America needs right now with all this border wall crisis shit.

    12. EB

      Yeah.

    13. JR

      A heavyweight champion that's Mexican?

    14. EB

      Yeah.

    15. JR

      Come on, son. And one that's fucking good and one that has a big belly and he knocks out a dude who looks like he's chiseled out of granite. I mean, no one has ever had a better body than Anthony Joshua. You've only had a different body. No one's had a better body. He's like... What is he, like, 6'7" or some shit like that?

    16. EB

      Can I see him? I don't even know that guy.

    17. JR

      Oh my God, dude. Anthony Joshua is the, one of the best built heavyweight boxers of all time.

    18. EB

      And he's legit? He was the champ and all that?

    19. JR

      Olympic gold medalist, the champ, knocked out Wladimir Klitschko. I mean, he's a fucking monster, man.

    20. EB

      From the UK?

    21. JR

      From the UK.

    22. EB

      Okay.

    23. JR

      Yeah, he was the champ and he was supposed to fight Big Baby Miller. And Big Baby Miller tested positive for the Mexican supplements, ironically enough. Boom, that's Anthony Joshua.

    24. EB

      Oh, yeah.

    25. JR

      I mean, come on, son.

    26. EB

      Yeah, yeah.

    27. JR

      How tall is he? Because he's gigantic.

    28. EB

      He's got a 12 pack.

    29. JR

      Because Andy Ruiz looked short in that fight. 6'6".

    30. EB

      Shit.

  4. 12:4118:12

    Watching fights in the modern era: phones, mirroring, streaming devices, and TV nostalgia

    1. EB

      Yeah. What about, m- like, what's that function? Mirror? Is that what it is, where you can-

    2. JR

      Oh, yeah, yeah, where you shoot it up to the TV-

    3. EB

      Yeah.

    4. JR

      ... from your phone? That's dope.

    5. EB

      You could do that.

    6. JR

      Oh, yeah. Yeah, if you have, um-

    7. EB

      Apple TV?

    8. JR

      If you have Apple TV or if you have Amazon, what is that? Fire Stick? Is that what it is, Jamie? Do you remember?

    9. JV

      Yeah, you (clears throat) Chromecast also.

    10. JR

      Chromecast and, uh, there's probably a few other ones you could probably do that with too, but they have, like, a USB slot, I think, and you just stick this thing in the USB slot and it'll l- is that... am I saying that correct?

    11. JV

      Yeah, but you don't even need it. Depending on when you bought your TV-

    12. JR

      Right.

    13. JV

      ... it's built into it now.

    14. JR

      A lot of them.

    15. JV

      Like, the Chrome thing is, uh.

    16. JR

      Which is interesting, right? It's like, "W- what if a new company comes along and they want to get built into that- that system?" How do they g- you know, 'cause when you get your TV, does your TV have, like, the option to get Netflix?

    17. EB

      Mine does.

    18. JR

      Yeah, it's like o- you don't need an Apple TV, it's, like, one of the options on the TV.

    19. EB

      Oh, no, no, no, no, no. No, on my TV, I have a- my T-

    20. JR

      Your setup?

    21. EB

      Yeah, I have an old TV, dude. It's like, I got it, like, in 2006 or something.

    22. JR

      Damn, son. You gotta upgrade.

    23. EB

      Yeah, yeah.

    24. JR

      It's time to upgrade, dude.

    25. EB

      Hey, it's still a flat TV.

    26. JR

      Still works.

    27. EB

      I don't know how f- like, then you need it (whistles) .

    28. JR

      I'm gonna go old school and I'm gonna start riding a bike and getting a rounded TV. One of them fucked up TVs where they're dark in the corner.

    29. EB

      Big boxes?

    30. JR

      Big old box. You put stuff on it.

  5. 18:1224:17

    Nature paranoia and predator talk: mountain lions, werewolf logic, and wild cats

    1. EB

      Yeah. I've been hiking, uh, more than ever lately, and sometimes we're e- on some trails where I have a rock ready to go.

    2. JR

      I carry a knife.

    3. EB

      It's a good move.

    4. JR

      I carry a knife when I run.

    5. EB

      It's a good move.

    6. JR

      Yeah, it's not likely. It's not likely. People are like, "Oh my God, you're paranoid."... two people were killed by mountain lions last year, and a kid got bit by a mountain lion just a couple days ago.

    7. EB

      Jamie?

    8. JR

      I'm getting over a cold, folks. I'm, if I sound snotty. But, uh, if, if two people got killed by werewolves, would you go out when the moon is full? You would be like, "Fuck that." If two people in Seattle (laughs) got killed by werewolves, when there's a full moon you're gonna b- lock your fucking doors-

    9. EB

      Am I in Seattle when I go out?

    10. JR

      Uh-

    11. EB

      If it happened in Seattle, where am I? In Seattle?

    12. JR

      Well, the guy who's the werewolf could have gotten on a plane and went to San Francisco. It's totally possible.

    13. EB

      Yeah.

    14. JR

      Right?

    15. EB

      Just, or just walked.

    16. JR

      But if you knew there was a real werewolf that was, on the full moon, was m- possibly gonna kill somebody-

    17. EB

      Mm-hmm.

    18. JR

      ... sometimes he didn't-

    19. EB

      Mm-hmm.

    20. JR

      ... sometimes the full moon comes and goes and nobody dies-

    21. EB

      Mm-hmm.

    22. JR

      ... because everybody's smart and they all stay indoors.

    23. EB

      Yeah. Yeah, for sure.

    24. JR

      (laughs)

    25. EB

      You know, like-

    26. JR

      Yeah, you would stay out of the fucking moon.

    27. EB

      ... but, but you know the odds would be astronomical. Just like, uh, like Jaws.

    28. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    29. EB

      Like, you know if you get dropped in the middle of the ocean, you know that-

    30. JR

      Look at this guy.

    Florida ‘monster soup’: invasive Everglades pythons, ecosystem collapse, and absurd scale

    1. JR

      Look, if it gets hungry enough, all these assholes are overfishing the oceans, you overfish the fuck out of those oceans, eventually those sharks, they're gonna turn on each other. You know, that's what's happening with snakes in the Everglades. Do you know about that?

    2. EB

      Mm-mm.

    3. JR

      Dude, you don't know about the Everglades?

    4. JV

      ... nope.

    5. JR

      Anacondas and pythons and shit, mostly pythons.

    6. JV

      Because dudes had them as pets and then they let 'em go?

    7. JR

      They let them go. Eddie, they're finding them now, they're 17, 18 feet long.

    8. JV

      Anacondas or pythons?

    9. JR

      Pythons.

    10. JV

      Shit.

    11. JR

      They're eating alligators. They did a study.

    12. JV

      Oh, they did a video of that?

    13. JR

      Oh, yeah, yeah. They have photos of it and there's video. There's video you can watch them eat an alligator.

    14. JV

      In Florida?

    15. JR

      In Florida.

    16. JV

      God damn.

    17. JR

      Yeah. They're giant.

    18. JV

      Whoa.

    19. JR

      And they're, they're infested. So they did like a biological survey of the Everglades and they were down, like, 99% in some animals, like deer, 99% marsh hare-

    20. JV

      God.

    21. JR

      ... like 98%, 95% raccoons, that kind of shit. They don't see-

    22. JV

      Are there-

    23. JR

      ... they don't see anything.

    24. JV

      Are they killing people too?

    25. JR

      Oh, they will.

    26. JV

      The pythons?

    27. JR

      For sure some fucking rednecks have disappeared.

    28. JV

      And they just don't talk about it?

    29. JR

      I guarantee, I guarantee, I guarantee.

    30. JV

      We'll just let that go.

    Frogs vs. bugs in Costa Rica: jungle mansion stories and why Eddie prefers snow

    1. EB

      I think they ... Hmm. When I was in Costa Rica, the first night, I was, I was in ... I went with a bunch of friends and they had this mansion, dude, right there in the jungle.

    2. JR

      Oh, we talked about that. I remember that. Yeah.

    3. EB

      Yeah. And, and the first night, I doused my whole b- ... I knew the bugs were gonna come out. So, I was ... When we got there, I'm like, "Oh, my God. I'm gonna get attacked by bugs."

    4. JV

      (laughs)

    5. EB

      So, I da- ... I went to the neighborhood store and bought all their Off! and just used it like, like mousse all over my body. And we sat, we were sitting there as the sun, uh, set. We were at the pool and there was, like, 10 of us at the pool. And as the sun was setting, all these frogs just appeared outta nowhere. It was scary.

    6. JV

      (laughs)

    7. EB

      And the guy that lived there said, "Trust me. Don't be scared. They're gonna be your friends." I'm like, "What do you mean?" He goes, "Trust me. We're gonna need them." I go, "For the bugs?" He goes, "Yes."

    8. JR

      Oh, my God.

    9. EB

      So, when the sun went down, we're, we're, we're at a pool-

    10. JV

      (laughs)

    11. EB

      ... in this Jay-Z-type mansion at a pool in the middle of the jungle. And there's all these frogs everywhere and then the bugs started coming. You never saw the same bug twice.

    12. JV

      (laughs)

    13. EB

      And it was like Braveheart, dude. They were ... All these frogs are just ... You just see them attacking these bugs. It was, it was, uh, like a d- a war.

    14. JV

      Jesus Christ.

    15. EB

      It was crazy and the bugs lost, dude.

    16. JV

      (laughs)

    17. EB

      The bugs lost.

    18. JR

      The frogs jacked the bugs?

    19. EB

      Dude, like, like, like those White Walkers, dude. They fucked them up, dude.

    20. JR

      Wow, that's an amazing video.

    21. EB

      It was very entertaining. It was very entertaining. We were just sitting there going, "Holy shit. Get those bugs. Fuck those bugs up." (laughs)

    22. JR

      Why doesn't someone make a documentary about that?

    23. EB

      It's crazy.

    24. JR

      The war. The daily war in the jungle.

    25. EB

      When the bugs come out, fucking frogs eat.

    26. JR

      Wow, bugs and frogs. What a, what a weird place to choose to put a mansion. And I get you wanna b- be able to scream-

    27. EB

      Well-

    28. JR

      ... and not, not get in trouble.

    29. EB

      ... one thing I learned (laughs) ... One thing I learned about that trip-

    30. JR

      (laughs)

  8. 41:4051:13

    5G anxiety and invisible signals: ‘smart meters,’ long-term testing, and mental fog

    1. EB

      That's crazy. Amazing. What do you think of, um, 5G and all that scare? Do you think that's legit?

    2. JR

      I'm terrified of air, all that shit.

    3. EB

      Scary, huh?

    4. JR

      Yeah, because-

    5. EB

      That's, dude-

    6. JR

      ... how much long-term testing have they done? N- zero or negative numbers? Like, are they turning people off-

    7. EB

      Dude, they're putting 'em, they're putting 'em... Do you, is that what d- uh, when, when, when I'm driving around with my family, my wife is obsessed with recognizing plates. She's always calling out Florida, Oregon. She's, her and my son, they got a little game they play, they're always looking at the plates. I'm always looking at cellphone towers and satellite dishes. (laughs)

    8. JR

      Ah, paranoia.

    9. EB

      I'm always, like they're... Uh, yeah.

    10. JR

      Yeah.

    11. EB

      Uh, all satellite dishes-... point to the southeast for some reason or other. And that's what I always check on.

    12. JR

      All of them?

    13. EB

      They don't p- point to the north. In Southern California, that is.

    14. JR

      But that's just DirecTV satellite.

    15. EB

      That's all satellites.

    16. JR

      That's 'cause that's where it's-

    17. EB

      All satellites.

    18. JR

      But every satellite dish-

    19. EB

      Satellite dishes.

    20. JR

      ... it's pointing to the south? I mean, for a consumer, consumer satellite dishes?

    21. EB

      Every satellite dish that I've seen, I- I'm obsessed with them.

    22. JR

      Yeah, they're everywhere.

    23. EB

      They're always point, they never point to the north. They're always pointing southeast.

    24. JR

      Right.

    25. EB

      All of them.

    26. JR

      The great majority of satellite dishes that you see are probably DirecTV or another one, Dish.

    27. EB

      No, yeah, for sure. Most of, I've noticed all of them, all of them. But you go, um, it's- it's crazy. I don't know why. I don't know why. But also those, uh, cellphone towers. I was on this website called, um, uh, smartmetersmurder.com.

    28. JR

      Smart Meters Murder?

    29. EB

      Dot com.

    30. JR

      Say that 10 times fast.

    Conspiracies and belief systems: simulation theory vs. ‘evidence-based’ conspiracies

    1. EB

      Yeah.

    2. JR

      Like, like, the people that really wanna believe in Bigfoot, or the people that really wanna believe in UFOs.

    3. EB

      Yeah.

    4. JR

      Like, UFOs are coming back right now. Everybody's talking about UFOs.

    5. EB

      Dude, they're stronger than ever.

    6. JR

      Bigger than ever.

    7. EB

      Stronger than ever. That should tell you something.

    8. JR

      Dave Foley's hooked. Dave Foley, from Newsradio? Remember Dave Foley?

    9. EB

      Yeah.

    10. JR

      Hooked. We, he, we text each other almost exclusively about UFO evidence. (laughs)

    11. EB

      Dude.

    12. JR

      He recommends documentaries.

    13. EB

      You know me, dude. You know me, dude. I was the biggest-

    14. JR

      What's this?

    15. JV

      This was on The New York Times a couple days ago.

    16. JR

      Oh, wow.

    17. EB

      Dude.

    18. JR

      What is that? Navy pilots report unidentified flying objects. (sniffs) Here's the thing though. (smacks lips) We don't know what kind of shit the Chinese have figured out. We don't know what kind of shit the Russians have figured out. We assume that we know, 'cause, but we didn't, we didn't let them know about the stealth bomber or any of the crazy shit that they were building in Area 51. We didn't let them know.

    19. EB

      Dude, you know me. I was balls deep into the UFO community, dude.

    20. JR

      I know.

    21. EB

      My tat-, the first tattoo I got is I got an alien on my left arm.

    22. JR

      Oh.

    23. EB

      In an Egyptian garb.

    24. JR

      I was with you. I was with you.

    25. EB

      I was, I was into fucking ancient Egypt, the conspiracy side of the ancient Egypt. There's the mainstream Egyptology. I was into the, the, "Oh, look what Graham Hancock is saying," and UFOs.

    26. JR

      Mm-hmm. So fun.

    27. EB

      Balls deep.

    28. JR

      That stuff's so fun.

    29. EB

      I thought, there's so much proof in my head, there was so much proof that the government was trying to cover up. Look, then why are they covering it up? Why are they covering it up? Um, look at all these guys, they're from, pilots from the Air Force are saying they saw UFOs. Pilots from the Navy are saying they saw UFOs. Dudes from the Pentagon. It's gotta be true. That's a dude, that's a dude, that's a CIA pilot. He's saying it. So, when you're, when you're balls deep and you really wanna believe it, you look at it that way. You're like, "Look, there's all these government officials saying they saw UFOs."

    30. JR

      Right.

  10. 54:581:05:11

    UFOs, Bill Cooper, and government theater: leaks, misdirection, and cattle mutilations

    1. JR

      Well, let me ask you this.

    2. EB

      And then he got killed, he got murdered, man. They went up to his ranch and fucked him up.

    3. JR

      If they wanted to really fuck with you, this is the, I, what I think they would do. They would, first of all, they would put acid on your shit. They'd put acid on your doorknob or something like that, because there was a dude who found something, I forget what he found, some old thing, and as he was opening it up, he, uh, he ac- just by touching it, it was like some old thing, it was dipped in acid and he went on an acid trip for like six hours. So this is what they'd do. They'd dose you up. They'd somehow or another dose you up whether touching a doorknob. Did you find the guy? There's, I, I, it's unreal the story.

    4. EB

      It's a really recent story.

    5. JR

      It's like where, it's a guy that was cleaning a, a board like this, a soundboard.

    6. EB

      That's what it was.

    7. JR

      He touched it-

    8. EB

      That's what it was.

    9. JR

      ... and he was just like, "Uh," telling his girlfriend, he's like, "I think I'm fucking high."

    10. EB

      Yes.

    11. JR

      And they did, ended up testing and it was.

    12. EB

      That's exactly the story.

    13. JR

      Yeah, yeah.

    14. EB

      That's exactly the story. So they could do that to you and then sneak up on you with some special effects, wear some fucking crazy mask and fucking flash you with lights and you're so crazy high, you don't know what the fuck's going on. They grab you and put you on a tell- a desk and tell you, you, you've been abducted by aliens from another planet. You don't think they fucked with people and did stuff like that? Dude, they do for a fact.

    15. JR

      I guarantee they did that.

    16. EB

      Have you seen the documentary, Abducted in Plain Sight?

    17. JR

      No, I have not. Which one is that?

    18. EB

      Dude-

    19. JR

      What's that about?

    20. EB

      ... that's exact-

    21. JR

      Is that about UFOs?

    22. EB

      N- well, it's a, it's sort of, sort of.

    23. JR

      (laughs)

    24. EB

      This guy, he, um, was married, had a couple of kids. He was tight with the family who had three daughters. He was a predator. So he targeted-

    25. JR

      Oh, I've heard of that.

    26. EB

      He targeted the 12-year-old and what he did is, he, uh, had s- like fucked with the mom, fucked with the dad, fucked with the dad.

    27. JR

      Oh.

    28. EB

      And then-

    29. JR

      He had sex with the dad?

    30. EB

      Sexual relations and some-
