EVERY SPOKEN WORD

    She has more lifelike…

    1. WC

      She has more lifelike eyes.

    2. JR

      Boom. And we're- we're, here we go. We're going. Uh, Whitney Cummings is here, and Whitney Cummings Two. What do you call her?

    3. WC

      (laughs) What's your name?

    4. NA

      What's your name?

    5. JR

      (splutters)

    6. NA

      (laughs)

    7. JR

      She's like a little kid. She just repeats her name.

    8. NA

      ... other comedy albums, which typically mix songs with non-musical-

    9. WC

      She's talking about Adam Sandler.

    10. NA

      What's your name?

    11. JR

      Oh.

    12. WC

      (laughs)

    13. JR

      She's broken.

    14. WC

      Don't know why. She heard-

    15. JR

      That's his album name from, like, the '90s.

    16. NA

      She's like Siri.

    17. WC

      Oh, What's Your Name was a c- a comedy album of Adam Sandler's.

    18. JR

      Oh.

    19. NA

      Oh, okay.

    20. WC

      So she started rambling about it. She really wants to chime in.

    21. JR

      So you never gave her a name?

    22. WC

      Her name's Bearclaw.

    23. JR

      Whoa.

    24. WC

      (laughs) Because I have this-

    25. JR

      Hey, Bearclaw.

    26. WC

      Can you say hi?

    27. NA

      Of course I can say that. Hi.

    28. JR

      People are, like, listening to this going, "What in the fuck is going on here?"

    29. WC

      (laughs) Do not smoke weed and watch this episode.

    30. JR

      What is here is, w- when it's people that are just listening, if you're just listening, you probably should stop this and go to YouTube and watch the YouTube version 'cause Whitney brought a robot-

  2. 15:0030:00

    Mm-hmm. …

    1. WC

      must have picked these for a reason.

    2. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    3. WC

      I was under the impression guys did not want jealous.

    4. JR

      Oh, yeah. Some guys want jealous for sure, especially from a robot that can't walk.

    5. WC

      Yeah. (laughs)

    6. JR

      (laughs)

    7. WC

      If your robot's not jealous, you should get your money back.

    8. JR

      Well, n- no. The idea is that she, you're more powerful than she is.

    9. WC

      Yeah. (laughs)

    10. JR

      Like, she needs you. She's worried. "Where are you going?"

    11. WC

      Yeah.

    12. JR

      "Who, who is she?"

    13. WC

      Yeah.

    14. JR

      "Who's calling you?"

    15. WC

      Yeah. That's, there is something hot about that if she can't, if you can turn her off whenever you want. (laughs)

    16. JR

      Well, some guys like that. Some guys like girls that wanna fight.

    17. WC

      Oof. Not me.

    18. JR

      Not me either.

    19. WC

      No.

    20. JR

      Some guys are into that though. They want, they want drama in their life.

    21. WC

      It's, like, just an adrenaline thing or just feeling important or-

    22. JR

      It's also distraction. Usually they're losers, and their life is a mess.

    23. WC

      Mm-hmm.

    24. JR

      And so, like, to have someone who wants to provide drama in their life all the time.

    25. WC

      Mm-hmm.

    26. JR

      And it's also a learned pattern that they get if their parents fought a lot.

    27. WC

      That's right. They've seen it. Yeah. That's all they know.

    28. JR

      Yeah.

    29. WC

      That's what they think a relationship is.

    30. JR

      Mm-hmm. Yeah, there's a lot of that.

  3. 30:0045:00

    Yeah, yeah, yeah. …

    1. JR

    2. WC

      Yeah, yeah, yeah.

    3. JR

      Fill in the crazy number, whatever it is.

    4. WC

      Yeah.

    5. JR

      But by the time 2042 actually rolls around, we will be so far ahead-

    6. WC

      Mm-hmm.

    7. JR

      ... of where we are now-

    8. WC

      Mm-hmm.

    9. JR

      ... that it's all, it's impossible for us to even imagine the territory.

    10. WC

      Right. Yeah, which is, I think, part of the reason I wanted to, like, make her and ha- It's like wh- why isn't anyone talking about laws? Why isn't anyone talk- Like, no one's really thinking about, like ... I, I feel like, like, everything, we, we sort of, after it's become too late, that's when we start-... pulling it together in terms of legislation and shit.

    11. JR

      How do you incorporate her into your set?

    12. WC

      I talk about robots for a good hour. (laughs)

    13. JR

      And you bring her out?

    14. WC

      I cut it down, but I just kinda realized, like, I mean, you know, it's like making a special, like, I'm like, "Well, if I'm gonna talk about fucking robots for 40 minutes, some shit better come out at the end." Do you know? So, but I went down to this sex robot factory to sort of get material and just know what the fuck I was talking about. And, uh, they asked, you know, "Do you want us to make one of you?" And I was like-

    15. JR

      (laughs)

    16. WC

      ... "Fucking that's insane, yes."

    17. JR

      Did you know that they only made one? (laughs)

    18. WC

      I hope they're being sold by the fucking droves.

    19. JR

      (gasps)

    20. WC

      That would make my day. Which I did ask, 'cause, you know, people request-

    21. JR

      Right.

    22. WC

      ... with sex dolls. Like, specific celebrities' body parts.

    23. JR

      Oh, yeah.

    24. WC

      The most, who do you think the most requested mouth is?

    25. JR

      Scarlett Johansson.

    26. WC

      Nope. I knew you were gonna say that-

    27. JR

      Oprah Winfrey?

    28. WC

      ... 'cause I know you love... (laughs)

    29. JR

      No?

    30. WC

      Emilia Clarke.

  4. 45:001:00:00

    Wow. …

    1. WC

    2. JR

      Wow.

    3. WC

      And I just took a bunch of painkillers and shit.

    4. JR

      Huh.

    5. WC

      'Cause get ... It's hard to get anesthesia into cartilage.

    6. JR

      I know guys, their ears are so fucked up, they can't get AirPods in there.

    7. WC

      Oh, fuck. (laughs)

    8. JR

      They just have a hole.

    9. WC

      Well, see-

    10. JR

      Like a tiny pinhole.

    11. WC

      On this side, I have a piercing-

    12. JR

      Oh.

    13. WC

      ... like, right there. This was for ... 'Cause I get migraines and they say-

    14. JR

      So you ... What?

    15. WC

      ... this piercing helps with migraines.

    16. JR

      Oh, Jesus Christ.

    17. WC

      It's probably just psychosomatic. It's some fucking-

    18. JR

      Oh, now my migraines are fine.

    19. WC

      I know, totally. It's f- ... But placebo effect is an effect.

    20. JR

      Wow.

    21. WC

      I rely on it heavily. But that was just ... That didn't hurt in there.

    22. JR

      No?

    23. WC

      Until ... It didn't hurt when it went through, but then it hurt for six months after.

    24. JR

      Jesus Christ.

    25. WC

      Ears are a fucking nightmare, I'll tell you what.

    26. JR

      Yeah.

    27. WC

      But yeah, so we got her ear molded 'cause it's amazing. I think something is that ... And I was talking to this facial transplant person about how it's actually really hard to get something to look similar.

    28. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    29. WC

      Like the bones start ... Everything's gotta be perfect. Like, my nose is really asymmetrical, my nostrils are really asymmetrical. So they had to real- work really hard and mold it over and over again, yeah.

    30. JR

      How do nostrils become asymmetrical?

  5. 1:00:001:01:19

    Sure. Yeah. …

    1. WC

      I, I mean, would there ever be human versus robot fights?

    2. JR

      Sure. Yeah.

    3. WC

      I would... I can't wait.

    4. JR

      They would have to dial the robots down, right? They would have to... Like when I was talking about, we were talking about before the show started that I think it would be cool to have a robot that moved at like 50%-

    5. WC

      Mm-hmm.

    6. JR

      Like a martial arts robot that you would be able to practice technique on.

    7. WC

      True.

    8. JR

      So you just would, but just... You'd basically what you would do is do drills, right? Like you would do like a Dutch combination which is a one, two, left hook to the body, right leg kick. And you would do it like while it's in front of you advancing, you pa-pa-bam-boom. And it would have to like react to your punches but it would do everything at like 50% speed so you could take a chance of this thing hitting you, but it probably wouldn't.

    9. WC

      Mm-mm.

    10. JR

      But it would provide you with enough movement so that you could develop patterns in your mind and your body would like synchronize with these patterns so that in a real fight you would know what, what's... You would, you would have these things in... sort of ingrained.

    11. WC

      Mm-hmm.

    12. JR

      Like one of the things that happens in a fight is things happen that you don't think of, you just do them and you don't realize you were even going to do them until you already did it.

    13. WC

      Right.

    14. JR

      'Cause it's like you've drilled them into your subconscious.

    15. WC

      Right, right.

    16. JR

      So you could do that-

    17. WC

      It's like muscle memory.

    18. JR

      ... with, with a robot and then maybe you could ramp the robot up to three-quarter speed if you got really good at it. Then you could-

    19. WC

      Yeah.

    20. JR

      ... really move and duck and it would be throwing punches at you trying to hit you.
