EVERY SPOKEN WORD

  1. 0:0015:00

    (humming) Hey, Santino. (laughing)…

    1. JR

      (humming) Hey, Santino. (laughing) My man. Good to see you, brother.

    2. AS

      Good to see you, brother. How are you?

    3. JR

      Good, man. Um, the charcoal, it's you.

    4. AS

      That's me.

    5. JR

      I sent, I sent Santino a picture. I'll send it to you, Jamie.

    6. JV

      I saw it.

    7. JR

      You seen it? (laughs)

    8. AS

      So fucking funny. I want residuals on that shit.

    9. JR

      Yeah.

    10. AS

      What is it called? Lucky dev- or...

    11. JR

      Bro, it's you.

    12. AS

      (laughs) It's me. What's it called?

    13. JR

      It's you with a steak.

    14. AS

      Devil something.

    15. JR

      Something.

    16. AS

      I put it up online, I was like, "This is so fucking funny." This is me with my own charcoal company called, uh ...

    17. JR

      (laughs)

    18. AS

      I you're in the market for some charcoal, man. Oh, Jealous Devil, that's what it is.

    19. JR

      (laughs) See?

    20. AS

      (laughs) That's so me.

    21. JR

      With that beard.

    22. AS

      Fucking steak down there with a, with a knife. Jealous Devil.

    23. JR

      Bar- barbecue is the only truly manly way of cooking.

    24. AS

      Yes.

    25. JR

      Like, nobody brags about having a baker's hat on.

    26. AS

      Yeah, there, there it is.

    27. JR

      Right? There it is.

    28. AS

      (laughs) Jealous Devil.

    29. JR

      Just Jealous Devil. All natural hardwood.

    30. AS

      Hardwood.

  2. 15:0030:00

    Right. (laughs) …

    1. JR

      very intelligent. So either he's running the greatest 30-year con of all time-

    2. AS

      Right. (laughs)

    3. JR

      ... or maybe this really did happen. When you talk to him, so you're just guessing. You don't know.

    4. AS

      Right.

    5. JR

      I don't know his life. I don't know his real life. Right? I'm just guessing. But he seems like a guy who's seen some shit and, and just didn't know what to do and told some friends about it and then, then went to the news. And that's what that George Knapp guy, who was the investigative journalist that studied this case, over all the years, like, this guy's never wavered. And-

    6. AS

      Like, he stuck with the story over and over.

    7. JR

      And, and things have shown to be true that they said were science fiction. Like the, um, there was this equipment that they had at Los Alamos labs that he talked about, where it was this, uh, thing that measured the distance, or the size rather of the digits in your finger. Apparently it's like a great, like your fingers, the, the inches are specific. And so like if you put your hand down on that thing-

    8. AS

      Right.

    9. JR

      ... and then Jamie's hand, it would give a different measurement. Like, there's different, each bone is a different length and i- the exact length is a v- like v- like 1.7 whatever the fuck it is. You know, 1.7 inches.

    10. AS

      Right.

    11. JR

      Like, whatever mea- measurement te- tool they use. It was d- d- he was calculating the length of your fingers through some kind of buggy system that he said didn't really work that often.

    12. AS

      Fuck.

    13. JR

      But people said that's science fiction, it doesn't exist. And then they finally got photos of these things and people that worked at Los Alamos labs concluded, or, or they, uh, conceded that these were a real thing, I guess.

    14. AS

      But for a long time they were fighting it being like, "That's not real."

    15. JR

      They were, pe- some people that didn't know were saying he made that stuff up. It doesn't exist.

    16. AS

      And then sure enough.

    17. JR

      But it sh- it showed it does exist and it did exist right there where he worked. He even took them on a tour through the labs. Like, he knew where everything was. He used to work there. So he, when they went there with the documentary crew, with Jeremy Corbell, they just walked them through. He showed where he worked.

    18. AS

      (laughs)

    19. JR

      He walked right in there.

    20. AS

      That's so fucked up. (laughs)

    21. JR

      Maybe, look, maybe the guy's running the craziest con game of all time-

    22. AS

      Yeah.

    23. JR

      ... and he's just a super genius and way smarter than me and he tricked me and he thinks it's hilarious.

    24. AS

      (laughs)

    25. JR

      Or maybe he saw some shit. What he was explaining that made it more and more interesting was how compartmentalized it was, and a- about how the problem with being so compartmentalized is that science is, it's based on free exchange of information.

    26. AS

      Right.

    27. JR

      You, you have to have guys who are testing all these different things and working on them together. That's the only way you can do-

    28. AS

      Right.

    29. JR

      So, so he's limited to a couple of guys that are working on the propulsion system, and then there's a couple other guys that are working on the metallurgy, and a couple of other guys that are working on the navigation system. And they chose him because he was kind of a maniac and he put a fucking jet engine in the back of a Honda.

    30. AS

      (laughs)

  3. 30:0045:00

    Cheers. …

    1. AS

      the hype of... Because of the growth of, growth of MMA... Cheers.

    2. JR

      Cheers.

    3. AS

      Cheers, my brother. Because of the growth of MMA, CrossFit, all of these n- all these new worlds that have kind of emerged socially now, that are so much bigger than they were years ago, nerds from- that I grew up with in high school-

    4. JR

      Are now into workouts.

    5. AS

      ... are into working out.

    6. JR

      Yes.

    7. AS

      Yeah, that's the irony.

    8. JR

      That's a big thing with jujitsu.

    9. AS

      That's what I'm saying. Is like the biggest-

    10. JR

      Yes.

    11. AS

      ... like insecure people, now they found a home-

    12. JR

      Yeah.

    13. AS

      ... in something that's disciplined.

    14. JR

      It's good... It feels good to move your body. It feels good. It feels good to do things, whether it's-... taking a dance class. I'm not into that, but taking-

    15. AS

      (laughs)

    16. JR

      ... karate.

    17. AS

      I'm not into that shit.

    18. JR

      You know, d- d- I like yoga, I like running-

    19. AS

      Yeah.

    20. JR

      ... I like j- doing jujitsu, obviously. I like all k- I like all kinds of martial arts. And, but, I just like moving my body, man.

    21. AS

      Right.

    22. JR

      I like running up hills. You move your body.

    23. AS

      Same.

    24. JR

      Get it going. You'll feel better afterwards. I know you don't-

    25. AS

      Yeah.

    26. JR

      ... wanna do it. I never w- I fucking hardly ever wanna do it. If m- I maybe wanna d- wanna actually do it five outta 10 times. But I do it.

    27. AS

      May- maybe less, yeah.

    28. JR

      But I do it. I just do it. I know what it's like to not wanna do it. I get it. Shut up. I just start talking to myself. I go, "Come on, pussy, what are you talking about?"

    29. AS

      Do it.

    30. JR

      If I was you, outside of you, knowing what I know, if I could read my mind, I'd be like, "Come on, bitch. You're just being lazy. Put your fucking shoes on."

  4. 45:001:00:00

    What, but what an…

    1. AS

      almost, right?

    2. JR

      What, but what an amazing animal, man. Just-

    3. AS

      Unbelievable.

    4. JR

      Imagine that thing lives in this place where there's no vegetables at all.

    5. AS

      Nope.

    6. JR

      But it got so big. It evolved to get that big.

    7. AS

      Meat, dude. Just meat.

    8. JR

      It's-

    9. AS

      Tons and tons and tons of meat.

    10. JR

      And it can eat a fucking, uh, like a hole through ice to get to you too.

    11. AS

      Yeah.

    12. JR

      It'll just chew through the ice.

    13. GC

      (laughs)

    14. AS

      Dude.

    15. JR

      It'll do whatever it can to get to you, right?

    16. AS

      Th- They're, they're, they're qu-... It's, it's so nice that they're so far away.

    17. JR

      They swim. You know, they jump in the water and swim.

    18. GC

      Yeah, they can swim six miles an hour.

    19. JR

      Bro.

    20. AS

      And for how long can they swim? I wonder how long they can stay in the water for, 'cause they have to get out at some point.

    21. JR

      How fast is that in knots, and why do we need knots?

    22. GC

      (laughs)

    23. AS

      Like, boat, boat people love that shit.

    24. JR

      What's up with boat people? "Hey, it's six fathoms." "Hey, fuck face."

    25. GC

      (laughs)

    26. JR

      "How many feet?" (laughs)

    27. AS

      (laughs)

    28. GC

      Uh, 5.2 knots.

    29. JR

      5.2 knots.

    30. AS

      5.2 knots.

  5. 1:00:001:00:24

    Uh, what the fuck…

    1. JR

    2. AS

      Uh, what the fuck is that guy's name?

    3. JR

      What the fuck's that guy's name?

    4. GC

      I don't know what you're talking about, but this is a newer movie.

    5. JR

      We can, we can figure this out.

    6. GC

      (laughs)

    8. AS

    11. AS
