EVERY SPOKEN WORD

  1. 0:0015:00

    Boo, boo, boo, boom.…

    1. JR

      Boo, boo, boo, boom. Brian Moses, you are one of the saviors of comedy. I want you to know this. Honestly, truly, really, 'cause the Roast Battle, Roast Battle is like one of the last real, like, sanctuaries for horrible comedy, like, nasty-

    2. BM

      (laughs)

    3. JR

      ... evil, fucked up, but hilarious comedy. And the way you do it, where you make everybody hug it out at the end, and y- you know, and you, like, set the ground rules, no violence. This is just j- joke writing.

    4. BM

      This is all, this is just, words don't hurt us.

    5. JR

      When I first came back to The Comedy Store, it was like, how many years ago it was now? It's like five years ago or something like that.

    6. BM

      Yeah.

    7. JR

      And-

    8. BM

      The exile was over.

    9. JR

      ... and when I saw Roast Battle, it was one of the things that made me go, "Whoa, this place is different now. This place has changed. It's like, it's evolved."

    10. BM

      We brought like, kind of like some like what of a, uh, a fight culture back to it. You know what I mean?

    11. JR

      Yeah.

    12. BM

      You know, like where, if you have a problem, you know, we're in a place where all we use is words anyway, so duke it out that way.

    13. JR

      Yeah. Well, not just that. There's people that don't have problems with each other and they just-

    14. BM

      (laughs)

    15. JR

      ... fuck each other up on that stage. (laughs) There's like people with like devastated friendships.

    16. BM

      Yeah, they ruin friendships. They, uh-

    17. JR

      Yeah. (laughs)

    18. BM

      But I mean, but nobody's ever attacked each other, so...

    19. JR

      That's amazing.

    20. BM

      Yeah.

    21. JR

      Uh, 'cause I've been there a couple times. I stopped going. It makes me feel bad. (laughs)

    22. BM

      Does it? It's consensual. Everybody-

    23. JR

      Dude.

    24. BM

      ... everybody's involved.

    25. JR

      I fucking, I'm the commentator for the UFC-

    26. BM

      Yeah.

    27. JR

      ... and Roast Battle makes me feel bad. (laughs)

    28. BM

      That's the combat sport you don't like?

    29. JR

      Just stop and think about how crazy that is.

    30. BM

      That's nuts. Why? How is that possible?

  2. 15:0030:00

    It's like the LAPD.…

    1. JR

      It's not gonna make you a better fighter. I mean, you wouldn't want your opponent to be on PCP because they would have no fear. They would just come charging at you and they might be able to just fuck you up just 'cause of that, if you panicked. But if you were a seasoned fighter and a guy had PC... Was on PCP, he would just come charging recklessly. You just crack him as he's coming in and keep moving and eventually-

    2. BM

      It's like the LAPD.

    3. JR

      Eventually his body would wear out. Your body can only go for so long.

    4. BM

      Take so much. Yeah, until it becomes mush.

    5. JR

      There's a lot of people that believe in themselves and they get flat-lined.

    6. BM

      Yeah. (laughs)

    7. JR

      You know? They, they 100% believe in themselves.

    8. BM

      (laughs)

    9. JR

      "You gotta fucking believe in it, bro. If you believe, you can achieve." Mm, not really, you know? If you believe in yourself and Francis Ngannou punches you in the face, you're going into the spirit world.

    10. BM

      Yeah. Or, like-

    11. JR

      No matter what.

    12. BM

      ACAB's beat you down, like, for, like, eight minutes.

    13. JR

      Yes.

    14. BM

      Yeah.

    15. JR

      Yeah, with clubs.

    16. BM

      With clubs. Yeah, like metal clubs.

    17. JR

      They mace you and club you.

    18. BM

      Yeah.

    19. JR

      Was that pre-tasers? Did they not have tasers back then?

    20. BM

      So that was after the, uh, the choke, uh, 'cause you couldn't choke guys out anymore. So that's why they say they beat him down because they couldn't choke him out.

    21. JR

      Really?

    22. BM

      Yeah.

    23. JR

      They couldn't choke him ou-

    24. BM

      You couldn't-

    25. JR

      Oh, that's right. They put a ban on choke holds.

    26. BM

      Yeah.

    27. JR

      Why'd they do that?

    28. BM

      Because they were killing guys.

    29. JR

      Oh.

    30. BM

      'Cause they were saying guys were on PCP when they weren't on PCP and they were, like, literally killing dudes.

  3. 30:0045:00

    Yeah. Um- …

    1. BM

    2. JR

      Yeah. Um-

    3. BM

      He's my favorite, by the way.

    4. JR

      Love him.

    5. BM

      I, he is my spirit animal. I fucking love Mike Tyson.

    6. JR

      I got Tyson weed over there if you wanna smoke some.

    7. BM

      Do you really?

    8. JR

      Yeah. Do you smoke weed?

    9. BM

      Yeah, I smoke weed.

    10. JR

      How often?

    11. BM

      Every day.

    12. JR

      Every day?

    13. BM

      Yeah.

    14. JR

      You wanna smoke some right now?

    15. BM

      Yeah, let's smoke some right now.

    16. JR

      Let's smoke some Tyson weed. Hold please.

    17. BM

      Mom, sorry.

    18. GU

      Oh, shit. Hold please. Breaking out the good stuff.

    19. BM

      It's gonna knock me out, let's do it. Mike Tyson, holler at me please.

    20. GU

      Uh, some Tyson Ranch-

    21. BM

      Yeah.

    22. GU

      ... original stuff, I think.

    23. BM

      In California City, dude, I grew up out... That's where all the-

    24. GU

      Yeah.

    25. BM

      ... the earthquakes are.

    26. GU

      Oh, shit.

    27. BM

      Oh, yeah.

    28. GU

      I think they're launching it soon, the Ranch.

    29. BM

      The Ranch.

    30. GU

      There it is.

  4. 45:001:00:00

    (laughs) …

    1. JR

      ... Like y- you have to wonder, like, if you made m- (laughs) Like, what if you used to sell babies?

    2. BM

      (laughs)

    3. JR

      Right? You had a- a baby-selling business.

    4. BM

      Yeah.

    5. JR

      You sold babies, right? And then, uh, your- your grandson inherited all your money from selling babies.

    6. BM

      Okay.

    7. JR

      But the grandson's cool, I mean, he just ... Uh, he goes golfing and he's not a criminal.

    8. BM

      Right.

    9. JR

      It's fine, it's fine. But is it fine? Because didn't his money come from baby-selling?

    10. BM

      Right.

    11. JR

      Where's it ... Where ... Wait a minute, let's trace this money. Like here's ... It started out.

    12. BM

      Okay.

    13. JR

      It was this much money, and then your dad got that, and then his dad got that.

    14. BM

      Yeah.

    15. JR

      And then like ... How many generations?

    16. BM

      Okay. So you're saying that families who were known plantation owners-

    17. JR

      It's slave money. Yes.

    18. BM

      ... should have to pay that money back to the Black community?

    19. JR

      Well, wh- where did it go? Where'd the money go? What was it used for?

    20. BM

      No, you're right, but I'm saying, all right.

    21. JR

      I mean, it's only 100 years ago. It's 1865.

    22. BM

      Okay.

    23. JR

      (laughs) It's not that long ago, that's so recent. It was 150 years ago.

    24. BM

      And we're just giving it to anybody that- that's on the census that says they're Black, right?

    25. JR

      No.

    26. BM

      To ... What, like an 8% ... If I'm 8% Black, I'm gonna get how much of this, you know, uh, the Jones plantation, you know, fortune?

    27. JR

      I'm not saying that. I'm saying that what the- the smart thing to do would be to figure out what damage was ... Like, if they really objectively looked at what damage was done to communities where slavery existed for ... I mean, how many hundreds of years in this country before it was ...

    28. BM

      400 years.

    29. JR

      Hundreds-

    30. NA

      Yeah, yeah.

  5. 1:00:001:03:02

    I'm going to guess…

    1. JR

    2. BM

      I'm going to guess that's what it's about.

    3. JR

      I don't think that's what it's about either.

    4. BM

      (laughs) It's not about Joe Jackson.

    5. JR

      I think that's about getting your shit together.

    6. BM

      (laughs)

    7. JR

      << I'm clean off the ground >>

    8. BM

      They also say, they also say because she bought the Beatles catalog that that's a smear campaign and like they paid those kids off to say that about him.

    9. JR

      That's ridiculous.

    10. BM

      It's a great conspiracy theory.

    11. JR

      I think people, I think people are, um... You know, they're crazy if they think it's normal for a guy to have a bunch of kids sleep in his bed and hang out with them.

    12. BM

      He was weird.

    13. JR

      That is-

    14. BM

      You know, Michael's on drugs.

    15. JR

      That is off the charts bananas that anybody would let their kids stay there.

    16. BM

      Yeah.

    17. JR

      Off the charts bananas.

    18. BM

      It is. Also, Mike was off the charts.

    19. JR

      Yeah.

    20. BM

      He had so many hits.

    21. JR

      He was also-

    22. BM

      The more hits you have, the more shit you can get away with until eventually-

    23. JR

      This, it says-

    24. GU

      It's only making fun of him.

    25. JR

      Okay. Berman's dis- dismissed a request for bail because Epstein's impulses are not likely to have abated or been successfully suppressed. That's not exactly... I definitely para-

    26. GU

      Yeah, that's only making fun of him.

    27. JR

      That makes more sense. I paraphrased hard. So that's how things get-

    28. BM

      Is the Florida guy in there?

    29. JR

      That's how rumors get started.

    30. BM

      So this is in Florida. You can get away with anything there?
