    Intro

    1. JR

      ... two, one. Young Bill Burr, Paper Tiger coming out tonight-

    2. BB

      (laughs)

    3. JR

      ... on Netflix. Woo, exciting.

    4. BB

      Are you pumped?

    5. JR

      Uh, yes I am. I'm very excited, uh... I think more just to see, you know, just so people see how good it looks, because Mike Binder directed it. And, uh, you know, I... I just... I don't know. I just had this idea for how a special... I wanted it to look. And none of it really had to do with other, like, m- necessarily, uh, comedy specials, more like rock concerts that I saw. I'm not saying it's all, like, super jumpy and stuff but just sort of like, uh... I don't know. That's weird how... The way they shot shit back in the day, where they held shots longer so it sucked you in so you kind of felt not necessarily that you were there but the presence of being there. And I really have this belief that if you fucking go at it really quick, quick, quick, quick, quick, it's like flipping through the channels and each time, like, your brain resets.

    6. BB

      Yeah.

    7. JR

      And like when you go to a show, you're just sitting there looking at the band or looking at the comedian like that. It's not like, "I'm here. Now I'm in the balcony. Now I'm behind you. Now I'm up here," and all that. So we tried to make sure, like, the pacing of it... I explained it to him and he was just like, "I get it. I get it."

    8. BB

      Well, he's a comic, so-

    9. JR

      Yeah.

    10. BB

      ... that certainly helps.

    11. JR

      Yeah, so the way he did it, uh... I hope that people see that as opposed to the shit that they normally do, like, "Mm, mm, how can I get offended?"

    12. BB

      (laughs) Well, they're definitely gonna get offended. It's a... It's a sport now to get offended by comedy. It seems like people get excited to be offended.

    13. JR

      I know. A lot of the questions I've gotten on... from people, non-comedians, that have been about, you know... "Well, what... In light of Dave's special," it's just like-

    14. BB

      (laughs)

    15. JR

      ... "Weren't you guys all mad at Sebastian, like, a week ago?"

    16. BB

      (laughs)

    17. JR

      "Now it's Dave?"

    18. BB

      Were they mad at him for, uh, the m- the VH1 thing?

    19. JR

      No, they weren't. One person got mad and wrote something, and then everybody, "Oh yeah, oh yeah." I di-

    20. BB

      (laughs)

    21. JR

      I didn't realize I didn't like that. I don't like that.

    22. BB

      Well, what was it? I didn't... I didn't hear a peep out of that. Did you hear... What, what, what did they say?

    23. JR

      Oh, I don't wanna start it back up for him. (laughs)

    24. BB

      Oh. (laughs)

    25. JR

      Stop trying to get him-

    26. BB

      (laughs)

    27. JR

      ... get him all going again. It was just like, uh-

    28. BB

      I don't know why he did that anyway. I was like, those things are never fun. You're, you're, you're basically, you know... You're the host of what's a commercial for a bunch of bands. It's just... He's a great comic. He sells out Madison Square Garden. Like he doesn't need to do that.

    29. JR

      Four times, and he did a great job too.

    30. BB

      Yeah.

  2. 3:205:00

    CDs

    1. BB

      what I'm talking about. They're making, uh, CDs? Selling CDs after the show?

    2. JR

      I know. I used to remember that MTV was cooler than VH1.

    3. BB

      Does your Jaguar have a CD player?

    4. JR

      Um, no. Why?

    5. BB

      Did I-... My, my car doesn't have one either.

    6. JR

      All right.

    7. BB

      My Tesla doesn't have a fucking-

    8. JR

      I was trying to do the math. Is he subtly insulting me?

    9. BB

      No. (laughs)

    10. JR

      You got a cassette tape in there?

    11. BB

      (laughs) I'm just saying they don't-

    12. JR

      Freckles? (laughs)

    13. BB

      They don't have 'em anymore. I've la-

    14. JR

      I got a VCR in the trunk.

    15. BB

      Somewhere along the line, they just stopped making 'em.

    16. JR

      Well, that's the thing, you know. When in... I was in New York all summer and, and all those, all those... The up-and-coming rappers are, like, trying to hand you a CD. It's like, I don't... I... What am I gonna do with that?

    17. BB

      They still have CDs?

    18. JR

      Well, then they do something, then they sc-... Oh, uh, just click on this or scan this and it goes to like, a, a, a Vimeo page. And then I'm like, "Is this guy in my phone now?" Like, "What just happened? Is he out of my contacts?"

    19. BB

      Ooh.

    20. JR

      Yeah, so I just kind of s- steer clear to them.

    21. BB

      I get weirded out by those little Q scan things. Is that what they call them? Is it a Q, Q, what was it?

    22. JR

      QR code.

    23. BB

      QR code. I get weirded out by those things, because your camera goes on and then, boom, it opens up a website. I'm like, "What is happening here?"

    24. JR

      I'll tell you what's a weird one, is they have home security systems now where... I was reading an ad for this on my podcast, and then I... I was thinking, like, afterwards, like, like, a lot of times, home... I guess, um, I don't know, alarm goes off because your window blows open and then everybody fucking shows up and it's like, "Oh, sorry, the window blew open." This actually has video cameras so they can confirm that somebody is in your house. But then I'm thinking, like, "Well, what's to stop them from just turn that on and start watching your life like a show?"

    25. BB

      Nothing.

    26. JR

      Like, "Hey, hey, they're fighting again."

  3. 5:0011:00

    Privacy

    1. JR

    2. BB

      Well, for sure if there's a stream, it's possible for someone to do that. For sure. If there's a stream, someone can get to you.

    3. JR

      No, no, in the contract, it says we would never do that.

    4. BB

      Oh.

    5. JR

      Oh, okay. (laughs)

    6. BB

      Oh, as long as they say that. It sound like some people don't. Look at this, doorbell camera from Ring has partnered with 400 police forces extending surveillance concerns. Yeah. Yeah.

    7. JR

      Yeah. I mean, as long as they're just using it to catch the bad guys, which is gonna be what they're saying, but there's, there's gonna be somebody... Somebody has their dick in their hand right now-

    8. BB

      (laughs)

    9. JR

      ... looking at that door... (laughs) Looking through that doorbell.

    10. BB

      It's inevitable.

    11. JR

      And then the way people get ab- obsessed, like, and then-

    12. BB

      Oh, yeah.

    13. JR

      ... then you're jerking off just to the woman walking up to the door to go into her house and it's not enough. "Man, I gotta see what's up... I gotta see what's behind the door." (laughs)

    14. BB

      (laughs)

    15. JR

      Calls up, "Hey, would you be interested in, uh, furthering your security?" "No, I think the doorbell's enough." "Interesting you say that. We just had a case the other day where unfortunately she thought it was enough and it wasn't." "Really?" And then sells them that. Now he's watching her eating Corn Flakes.

    16. BB

      It's a slow creep into your life.... how much time before it's everywhere, before everyone can see everyone everywhere?

    17. JR

      Yeah, I don't know. But what's weird is, younger people have a much different idea of privacy-

    18. BB

      Yeah.

    19. JR

      ... because their shit has kind of been out there. I would not want to be young right now. They have a real tough time, where... Dude, when I was younger, when I got my ass kicked, it was over. It wasn't video documentation for the rest of my life. "This is the kid from Rocky Point! He's all grown up now!" And you're trying to get laid in a bar, like, 20 years later, you're like, "Yes, that happened. I was, I was eight. Sorry."

    20. BB

      I was just thinking of that. I watched this kid try to throw a triangle up in a street fight, and the guy slammed him on his head and punched him unconscious and kept punching him while he was out.

    21. JR

      Oof.

    22. BB

      And then the kid just climbed off of him and walked towards his friends, and everybody's like, "Oh!" And this guy's lying on the ground, pawing up his arms, like, probably experiencing severe brain damage. And I'm thinking, "What if that was my son?" Like, you know, "What if that was your son?" You watch some, some guy slam him on his head, and then as he's unconscious punch him five, six, seven times in the face.

    23. JR

      Yeah, that's fucked.

    24. BB

      It's fucked.

    25. JR

      That's why I stopped fighting.

    26. BB

      That's why?

    27. JR

      Yeah.

    28. BB

      You didn't want to hurt anybody?

    29. JR

      No.

    30. BB

      (laughs)

  4. 11:0018:20

    Gigs

    1. JR

    2. BB

      Right.

    3. JR

      ... "What the fuck's this guy talking about?"

    4. BB

      Where'd you do gigs before you did London? When you did a run of gigs, did you do them in England or did you do them-

    5. JR

      Yeah, I did, uh, Liverpool, Manchester, uh, Glasgow. I can't remember. And then I did one other one, began with a B. I forget.

    6. BB

      (laughs)

    7. JR

      (laughs) You know, it was just literally bam, bam, bam. And I got sick when I was in, uh, Liverpool. I don't know what happened, if I ate something before I got there or whatever, and, uh, I had like this stomach virus. I had it the night too when I was shooting it, I was like getting over it. And, uh, so that was... I was just like, "There's always..." And I was thinking, "Is there always something or am I just that age that there always is something but I just don't notice until the night there's cameras here?" You know what I mean?

    8. BB

      When everything's heightened.

    9. JR

      Yeah. I'm like, "Ah, fucking threw my back out. Never fucking fails, special..."

    10. BB

      (laughs)

    11. JR

      Ba-ba-ba-ba, and it's just like, "Well, I throw my back out a couple times a year."

    12. BB

      (laughs)

    13. JR

      Except I'm just not shooting that night so I don't give a shit and I just joke about it, so why don't I just do that when I go to do it? So, um-

    14. BB

      How many shows did you film?

    15. JR

      Uh, we did two.... uh, and it wasn't the same night either, so it was kinda weird. We... Rather than a, bam, bam, so you're warmed up, I kind of had to get going both times.

    16. BB

      Right.

    17. JR

      So... And like most times, it was the set that I liked better. Uh, it was probably, I think the second night, so most of it's from the second night, and then there's just a couple, just 'cause it went a little too long, and I just... I just wanted to get in, kick the shit out of them, and get out, leave them wanting more-

    18. BB

      Hmm.

    19. JR

      ... the old-school thing. So there was just a couple... I think we just took, uh, just a couple things, just to kind of splice one section out of there, and splice the things and then get it going, so...

    20. BB

      How many seats?

    21. JR

      I don't, I don't remember. I don't remember.

    22. BB

      Was it a big place?

    23. JR

      I don't remember, but I do know the night of the special, like, I, I did this thing. I was making fun of that whole Support the Troops thing and everything, and what had happened was it wasn't working, and it was killing the whole tour. I'm like, "You gotta be fucking kidding me." Finally go to record this shit and blah, blah, blah, blah, and it turned out that some terrorist group had made a bunch of fucking threats or something that day.

    24. BB

      Ugh.

    25. JR

      Yeah, and nobody told me.

    26. BB

      Ugh (laughs) .

    27. JR

      You know? "Well, don't tell them. I don't want to get in with the fucking heads." So now I'm up there going like, "Why isn't this working?"

    28. BB

      (laughs)

    29. JR

      "Am I suddenly not funny?" Not like it didn't work, but it, it was just this thing hanging in the fucking air. Had I known that, I would've addressed it and then it would've been fine. So we just, we just spliced that little, you know, six, seven minutes out of there. Um, I don't know what it is.

    30. BB

      That's a great bit though. I love that bit.

  5. 18:2020:44

    John Pinette

    1. BB

    2. JR

      (laughs) Yeah.

    3. BB

      That's a Teddy Bergeron bit. He's wearing a wire. He's wearing a wire.

    4. JR

      That's right.

    5. BB

      Santa Claus isn't real, he's wearing a wire.

    6. JR

      That's right.

    7. BB

      How good was that guy?

    8. JR

      Oh, he was amazing.

    9. BB

      People don't know. He was one of the greatest-

    10. JR

      He was amazing.

    11. BB

      ... of all time, he really was. I saw him when I was an open mic-er and I almost quit. He, he went up on an open mic night.

    12. JR

      Oh, yeah.

    13. BB

      And, um, um, Bill McDonald was the host? Is that his name? Yeah.

    14. JR

      That's funny, those early on guys can make you wanna quit.

    15. BB

      Oh my God. Yeah, he, he was so good. He was so polished, and I felt like such a slob. He was just a professional.

    16. JR

      No, the thing about him too was, it was effortless and he made it look effortless. It was just effortless, he just went... Uh, John Pinette was a guy I saw, where I was just like... It didn't make me wanna quit, but I was just like, I was just like, "What the fuck was that?"

    17. BB

      Yeah.

    18. JR

      He went up on a, um, a Tuesday at Nick's-

    19. BB

      Yes.

    20. JR

      ... and it was like fucking, you know, there was, like, maybe 30 people. This place held 400 people, it was just like a lull. It was like, when I started it was the '80s hangover and just standup was dead. And there was, like, 30 people and there was a bunch of, you know, bitter comics going, "This place used to be packed, there'd be a line around the block. You should quit." All these fucking guys saying that.

    21. BB

      (laughs)

    22. JR

      (laughs) So fucking Pinette just dropped by, rest his soul, he just dropped by and he went up and did 12 minutes, and got a stan- a legit st-... It wasn't, "Oh, you're John Pinette. Thank you for stopping by."

    23. BB

      No.

    24. JR

      "You're famous." It was, he fucking murdered. I think that was the first time he was kinda... It was that era when he was doing that, "You go now," buffet bit.

    25. BB

      Yes.

    26. JR

      Where it just keeps... Every time you think it got to the height of how funny it could be, it went to another level, and then another, and another. The only time I ever saw a guy, maybe a guy like Regan or something where, where they just had that, they just repeat that thing. Uh, I, I was doing a tour with Norton Tell and Jim Breuer, and Jim Breuer had a bit.

    27. BB

      (sighs)

    28. JR

      Never cursed.

    29. BB

      About his dad shitting his pants?

    30. JR

      His dad shitting his pants.

  6. 20:4422:21

    Jim Breuer

    1. BB

      He's the mo- one of the most underrated comedians of all time. The worst I ever ate at coming up, ever, following Jim Breuer.

    2. JR

      Ugh.

    3. BB

      In, like, '91, '91.

    4. JR

      At The Boston?

    5. BB

      No, no, no. We were at, um, a Comedy Loft, I think in Nanuet, New York. And, uh, I should not have been headlining. I'd been doing comedy-

    6. JR

      (laughs)

    7. BB

      I'd been doing comedy-

    8. JR

      I was just talking to Bobby Kelly about those gigs.

    9. BB

      (laughs)

    10. JR

      Those gigs where you shouldn't have been headlining, but you were.

    11. BB

      No way. I'd been doing comedy maybe three years, four years maybe. Maybe four. I just wasn't ready. No way. But my manager was good, and he got me a gig as a headliner, 'cause it was decent money.

    12. JR

      Oh, and Breuer was middling?

    13. BB

      Mm-hmm. We were fine. I was fine, until late show Saturday night. When I tell you he went up like... Just like a man possessed. And he used to have this bit about coming home drunk and, uh, his mother was a demon. You know, like-

    14. JR

      Oh, God.

    15. BB

      (laughs) Do you remember the bit?

    16. JR

      No, but I know his talents, so he's already doing-

    17. BB

      Oh.

    18. JR

      ... him drunk and then that demon voice-

    19. BB

      Oh my God.

    20. JR

      ... that he's gonna do. It's always-

    21. BB

      And his facial expressions, and, and he just caught it. He just caught it. Where it was like I'd n-

    22. JR

      (laughs)

    23. BB

      I mean, he had murdered all week. He'd murdered all week, but I'd gotten by. Like, I did not have as good a set as him all week, but I got by. It was good, good enough. No, not embarrassing. Saturday night, late show, lit me on fire.

    24. JR

      Championship round.

    25. BB

      Lit me on fire.

    26. JR

      (laughs)

    27. BB

      Wa- I walked offstage early. I was supposed to do 45 minutes, I think I did 35. It was death, 35 of death.

    28. JR

      Ugh.

    29. BB

      Nervous, feeling like an asshole.

    30. JR

      Sweating, mouth drying up.

  7. 22:2126:15

    Vegas

    1. JR

      w-... I just did Vegas. Whenever I go there, I always go by the, uh, The Trop, right?

    2. BB

      Yeah.

    3. JR

      That's what it is?

    4. BB

      Yeah, Tropicana.

    5. JR

      Yeah. I got... I was contracted to be the headliner, and I got bumped down to the middle act.

    6. BB

      Oof.

    7. JR

      I got demoted.

    8. BB

      Who was the middle?

    9. JR

      I don't remember, but he was great. And it was... Frank DelPizzo was the, uh, was the host, and he was like a seasoned headliner. The other guy was a seasoned headliner and I just had... I don't know what the... I was some young guy they were giving a fucking shot to. So I went out there, this is like the late '90s, and I had the- my shiny black button-down, I'm playing Vegas shirt, you know?

    10. BB

      (laughs)

    11. JR

      And, uh, I remember my manager at the time gave me shit about the shirt, going, "You're gonna wear that?" I go, "Yeah, it's fucking Vegas. You can wear whatever you want." So I walked into the club and it was just where The Trop was then, it was like an older crowd, 'cause they hadn't redone it or whatever, so it was just like their dying off crowd.

    12. BB

      Oof.

    13. JR

      So dude, I went up there and I, I did sort of okay. I just did okay, but they both had better sets than me, and then that was the Tuesday or the w- or the Wednesday. And then the Wednesday I came up, and by then I started to have another not good set, and then I got in my head like, (clears throat) like, "I'm not gonna be able to make these people laugh." And I remember just seeing, like, there was just this lady back towards the kitchen and, like, her old lady, you know, that hair that looks like it's flammable from-

    14. BB

      (laughs)

    15. JR

      It was just backlit, and that's all I could see, dude. And I just went in and out of like, like bombing. And, uh, so then, what was it, Thursday morning comes. I'm flying my girlfriend out at the time so she could see my big headlining set in Vegas. "My name's out on the sign!" Right? And, uh, I remember she ca-... I don't remember her name, but she called me up. She's just like, "Uh, Bill, it's so and so from the, uh, The Trop. How you doing?" I'm like, "Uh, good, good." She goes, "Yeah, uh, so h- how do you think it's going?"

    16. BB

      (laughs)

    17. JR

      That's what she said.I was like-

    18. BB

      (sighs)

    19. JR

      ... "You know, I think it's going pretty good." You know, the crowd was a little old last night, it was blah... And then she just goes, "Yeah, you know, I don't, I don't think it's happening. And, you know, I, I think it'd be better if you just middle. We're still gonna pay you the same money." She was real... And that was the worst part, she was really nice about it. And, uh, then I had to go down there that night. My girlfriend was coming in the next night, I had to go down there and, uh, you know, I just remember coming in and Frank was looking at me. And I... He was sort of looking at me like, how is he gonna handle this? And I just was just, "Ah, I guess I suck," or whatever. And they just real... And then, then they were, they were both... They were never mean to me. They were never mean to me, they were both really, really cool guys and we had, like, a great weekend. But then my girlfriend came down and it was just like, I had to explain to her why there was another person going (laughs) after me.

    20. BB

      Oof.

    21. JR

      And-

    22. BB

      Did it go better with you as a middle? Or were you sure-

    23. JR

      Yeah. You know, you know what it was? Uh, yeah, it went better, and then by the end of the weekend I figured it out. But I was never funnier than the headliner or Frank. I just wasn't. I just, I wasn't seasoned. I didn't know how to do it. And it was my first weekend in Vegas and, um... Is that true? I think it was, it was my first weekend in Vegas, 'cause then, then the next few years I, I would middle at, uh, the Improv at Harris. So, uh, that was the thing. And you know what was funny, was I was really depressed about it and my girlfriend didn't care. She goes, "No, we're still here, we can go out and have a good time," or whatever. And then I was almost getting, like, upset with her that she didn't understand.

    24. BB

      (laughs)

    25. JR

      Where instead of being like, "Oh, wow, you're really cool that the reason you came out here was 'cause you just wanted to hang with me." I was too young and angry and self-involved.

    26. BB

      Oh.

    27. JR

      Oh, yeah.

    28. BB

      It's hard when your girl sees you bomb, too.

    29. JR

      Well, fortunately she didn't see that.

    30. BB

      (coughs)

  8. 26:1527:06

    No GPS

    1. BB

      life, um, I was working with J.B. Smoove, who's fucking phenomenal.

    2. JR

      Ah.

    3. BB

      And, uh, I was, uh, supposed to be the headliner.

    4. JR

      Uh-huh.

    5. BB

      But it was a weird college gig in the middle of nowhere in Jersey.

    6. JR

      Right.

    7. BB

      And it was hard to get to and there was no GPS back then, so you had to follow directions, right? Remember those?

    8. JR

      Yeah, right.

    9. BB

      They give you a piece of paper-

    10. JR

      Yeah.

    11. BB

      ... they call you up, "Okay, you're gonna take a right, uh, here, and a left there-"

    12. JR

      Yeah.

    13. BB

      "... and then you take the 101." So, uh, I get there-

    14. JR

      I used to do a bit about the person doing the bad directions, where they would go, "Okay, and then you're gonna see a farmhouse on the right. It has a red door and there's cows out front." You'd be like, "All right, am I gonna take a right there?" "No, you're gonna keep going."

    15. BB

      (laughs)

    16. JR

      And they just kept bringing up shit that you were gonna see and it's just like, finally, you're just like, "Just tell me the fucking thing that I'm gonna see when I turn." "There's a grassy hill and there's, there's a, there's a scarecrow on it," I, so I turn, "No, you're gonna keep going." It was just like... All right, sorry.

  9. 27:0628:33

    Malibu Fires

    1. JR

    2. BB

      No worries, no worries. So I miraculously got there on time, but J.B. did not. And so they go, "Well, we're gonna wait for J.B. 'cause he's not here yet." So I go, "Okay." They go, "Well, we have a lounge, you can go sit there and watch TV." So I watch TV and it's a special, um, a news special on the Malibu fires. So this is probably like, whatever, '93 or something like that.

    3. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    4. BB

      Some gigantic fires. No, it was be- before '93, it was like '91, '92. And, uh, there was a fireman. The fireman was weeping because he had saved his house, but his neighbor lost his house and he had saved up all his money to help build this house. This gu- this guy, you know, it was like his life's work to build this house. But he was devastated because he was a fireman and his neighbors lost their house. This guy's weeping, he's weeping about his house. And then they had this fucking kid calling out for his dog. They couldn't find the dog, they lost the dog, and they were hoping the dog got away to safety.

    5. JR

      Jesus, yo.

    6. BB

      So this kid's walking around, "Rusty? Rusty?"

    7. JR

      (laughs)

    8. BB

      Just walking down the street-

    9. JR

      Oh, no.

    10. BB

      "... Rusty? Rusty?" Then the lady opens up the door, "J.B.'s not here, so we're gonna have you go on first." I'm like, "Oh, no." So I went on stage thinking of that kid calling for the dog, and the fireman crying, and I just ate shit. I mean, I just went... I had nothing. I had, there was noth- (laughs) It, it was nothing-

    11. JR

      (laughs) Did you have to do an hour?

    12. BB

      No, I, I wound up doing, I

  10. 28:3329:37

    NACA

    1. BB

      wound up doing... I think I was supposed to do 45 minutes. I wound up doing the 45 minutes. And I mean, I ate shit. I did not, I did not get any laughs, I don't remember. I mean, I was depressed. I remember thinking, "I can never do this again." I did it one other time too, though. "I could never do this again, it was fucking terrible." To make matters worse, J.B. eventually got there, halfway into my set, he goes on after me and fucking murders. I mean murdered, nuked the room, flattened it. These kids were so tired of me, they were so... And I was like, "Look, I fucked up, I w- I watched this, depri-" And they were so excited to see me because you know when, they have those college conference things-

    2. JR

      Right.

    3. BB

      ... where you go, like, NAFTA or whatever it is? And you go... Is that what it's called? What are those things called? NACA? That was the name?

    4. JR

      No, you just made me forget it, uh... Began with an A.

    5. BB

      Yeah. Mm, so, the something college campuses? Whatever the fuck it is. That is-

    6. JR

      I never forgot that in my life, 'til you just said NAFTA.

    7. BB

      (laughs) It was-

    8. JR

      (laughs)

    9. BB

      AFTRA?

    10. JR

      It's over, now I'll never remember it.

    11. BB

      AFCA? (laughs)

    12. JR

      (laughs)

    13. BB

      Someone's screaming it-

    14. JR

      (laughs)

    15. BB

      There's a comic out there screaming it into the t- their career.

    16. JR

      NACA.

    17. BB

      NACA, that's right.

  11. 29:3731:06

    Murdered

    1. BB

      So, um, I did NACA and murdered. I mean, murdered. They told me, "Look, you can do it clean."

    2. JR

      Strong interest forms, I remember that.

    3. BB

      Oh, strong interest?

    4. JR

      Strong interest forms- Yeah.

    5. BB

      ... after those sh- sets. They, they said, "Look..." (clears throat) I remember having a conversation with my agent, she said, "Look, I know you're, you're not clean, but if you're clean, you can get a lot of gigs. You can get a lot of gigs."

    6. JR

      Yeah, that was the big, big switch.

    7. BB

      And I made this decision, but people were eating shit. They were eating shit at the conference, 'cause all these comics were, like, nervous. And I said, "You know, I'm doing my club set, I don't give a fuck. I'm not a, I'm not a clean comic. I can't do this, I've already done this before. I tried." And I went up and I did all sex material and fucking murdered. So these kids were so excited to see me. And I got there and just ate shit.

    8. JR

      ... oh, no. They, and they, they were going-

    9. BB

      They were pumped.

    10. JR

      ... "Wait till this guy comes."

    11. BB

      Oh, yeah.

    12. JR

      Oh, wow.

    13. BB

      He's the man. He's gonna be huge someday. Oh my God, I ate shit, so hard. (laughs)

    14. JR

      (laughs) I'm just picturing you doing all your sex material, depressed-

    15. BB

      (laughs)

    16. JR

      ... bombing, just going-

    17. BB

      Bombing.

    18. JR

      You ever-

    19. BB

      Not just bombing, but like-

    20. JR

      You ever bang a girl doggy style?

    21. BB

      Nah.

    22. JR

      ... trying to think of what you old, but it's, "This is how you do it, not this scoliosis thing."

    23. BB

      (laughs)

    24. JR

      (laughs) 'Cause I remember them having to follow that bit.

    25. BB

      Yeah, yeah, that's a bit.

    26. JR

      I remember that bit, and that bit would fucking murder-

    27. BB

      Not that night. (laughs)

    28. JR

      I remember that, and then every chick in the room wanted to fuck you, and then I would go on stage with my orange afro, "Hey, I have things to say."

    29. BB

      (laughs)

    30. JR

      "Anybody?"

  12. 31:0632:38

    Best Evidence

    1. BB

      that, I ate shit. And, uh, one other time I ate shit real bad, I was headlining as well. Um, this one, this, this one is not nearly as bad as the other two eat shits. The Jim Breuer one was devastating, but in all fairness, it was good for me because it changed my act. It made me realize, like, you gotta respect people's fucking attention span. You can't go up there thinking about yourself-

    2. JR

      Right.

    3. BB

      ... and trying to... You gotta respect these people paid money, work hard, like, you gotta be ready and you can't fucking take headliner gigs when you're not ready to headline.

    4. JR

      Yeah.

    5. BB

      I remember I did the same place a year and a half later and fucking murdered. And I was so happy. I was so... The guy said, "Wow, you fucking got better." I'm like, "Thank you. Thank you."

    6. JR

      This thing almost went out there, too.

    7. BB

      The other time where I ate shit, I act- I, I read a conspiracy theory book about JFK that I've, I fucking love this. It's called Best Evidence by David Lifton. This buddy of mine who was in a band-

    8. JR

      Behold a Pale Horse, that's great reading before you go up.

    9. BB

      (laughs)

    10. JR

      (laughs) He went, "We kinda came here to forget our problems."

    11. BB

      Well, I, I, I read this and I was like, "Oh my God, they shot JFK."

    12. JR

      Mm.

    13. BB

      "This fucking, the government," he said, "the casket was empty. The fucking... They did, they changed the autopsy." I had all this shit in my head and I was, you know, 25, so I was...

    14. JR

      Written by some guy who wasn't there.

    15. BB

      Well, it was written by a very credible guy who was actually paid. He was an accountant, and he was, uh, they, they hired him-

    16. JR

      He was so inside they let him look in the casket?

    17. BB

      No.

    18. JR

      They said, "Listen, I'm just gonna show this to you."

    19. BB

      "There's nobody in here." They hir- (sighs) "We did it." Keep your mouth shut. They hired him to go over

  13. 32:3836:21

    The Warren Commission

    1. BB

      the Warren Commission Report, but they never expected anybody to read the entire report, 'cause the report is like fucking 900 volumes or some shit, just an incredible amount of pages. But this guy went over it with a fine-toothed comb and he's like, "This whole thing was horse shit." Like, the whole Warren Commission Report was horse shit they concocted, all these different things. So I, I went on stage with this, this thing in my head, like, "Oh my God, there's evil people running the government and they killed Kennedy and ugh."

    2. JR

      And I'm the guy who's gonna save everybody.

    3. BB

      So I ate shit on Thursday night, and, uh, and then I, you know, they were very, they were a little uneasy with me, 'cause they knew I was, like I was, I already was doing well at clubs. Like, I was a, a comic they were looking forward to seeing.

    4. JR

      Right.

    5. BB

      And then the next night I apologized, I said, "Listen, I fucked up. Yesterday I read this conspiracy theory book and it'll never happen again." And I went up and killed the next night. But I knew, I knew I'd fucked up.

    6. JR

      (laughs)

    7. BB

      (laughs) I knew it was a mistake. It was just, oh, they just-

    8. JR

      You read the Declaration of Independence (laughing) the next night before he went up.

    9. BB

      I was just listening to AC/DC all night. (singing)

    10. JR

      (laughs) You know what's funny? I listened to them on the way over here.

    11. BB

      Oh.

    12. JR

      They'll never get over, 'cause I-

    13. BB

      Man.

    14. JR

      ... I got the new Tool album and it's fucking unbelievable. And uh, but I always end up just, I can't get out of that fucking orbit. I just ended up going back.

    15. BB

      Well, it's such good shit, man. It's such good... When I, when I need, uh, a really pick-me-up, I listen to Whole Lotta Rosie.

    16. JR

      Oh, yeah. Yeah, that'll get you going.

    17. BB

      How fucking good is Dean Delray's voice? How fucking good is his voice?

    18. JR

      Now, when he's like-

    19. BB

      When he was singing that?

    20. JR

      Oh, yeah.

    21. BB

      Fuck, that sh-

    22. JR

      You shoulda heard it. You shoulda heard it in, in the Forum.

    23. BB

      I put, I put it on my Instagram. Dude, his voice is fucking phenomenal.

    24. JR

      Yeah.

    25. BB

      Wasn't it Whole Lotta Rosie that he was singing?

    26. JR

      Yeah. He sang a whole bunch of shit. He sang a whole bunch of shit.

    27. BB

      His fucking voice is incredible. Isn't he going through some weird-

    28. JR

      God damn it.

    29. BB

      ... back shit right now? Does he have some bulging disc issues?

    30. JR

      Yeah, I think it's, it's leftover from, uh-

  14. 36:2137:25

    Maynard

    1. JR

      but like-

    2. BB

      ... um, look at this piano rotates and everything. Smoke, fire.

    3. JR

      Oh, yeah.

    4. BB

      Look at the background. Woo!

    5. JR

      As they were just jamming on that thing for like-

    6. BB

      Wow.

    7. JR

      I actually missed that part. I was at the, uh, Steak 'n Shake or something.

    8. BB

      (laughs) Speaking of, uh, tool and rock-related injuries, you know Maynard, when he's on stage, he stomps his foot on the ground, like stomps, like, you know, he's always, like, stomped when he sings. Well, he's a jujitsu guy and, uh, he was having a hard time, like, working on certain moves. He's like, "My fucking hip, it's like something's wrong with my hip." (clears throat) He wound up having to get a hip replacement from stomping on the ground.

    9. JR

      I love those guys.

    10. BB

      He stomped his hip out.

    11. JR

      Do you know Hulk Hogan, when he, back when we were doing the Opie and Anthony Show, he came in? I was like, "I thought this guy was like 6'7""."

    12. BB

      Yeah, yeah.

    13. JR

      And his f- but he, he was like 6'4" and his arms hung down to his knees, though.

    14. BB

      Yeah.

    15. JR

      And he ended up saying that because of that finishing move he did where he would leap up in the air and just land on his ass night after night after night, week after week, he lost three inches in height.

    16. BB

      Yeah, all of his disks.

    17. JR

      His spine, yeah, it got so compacted.

    18. BB

      Yeah,

  15. 37:2538:21

    Spinal decompression

    1. BB

      yeah.

    2. JR

      Um-

    3. BB

      All your disks deteriorate from, from wrestling. Like almost every wrestler I know, including me, I have a bunch of disks that are all fucked up, but they're, they're okay enough where I can get by. And I use machines, like there's a machine called the Reverse Hyper where it sort of decompresses your spine. I do all this spinal decompression shit. I actually... And I get Regenakeem once a year, which is like this, um, it's like an advanced form of platelet-rich plasma. I actually got it today. I've got like little band-aids on my back.

    4. JR

      (coughs) You're gonna fucking outlive all of us.

    5. BB

      Listen, I'm, I'm fu- I can-

    6. JR

      (laughs)

    7. BB

      I've got the cash to pay for this shit, I, I fucking take everything.

    8. JR

      I know.

    9. BB

      I'm like, "What do you got? What do you got that works?" (laughs)

    10. JR

      Your body's like a Restomod, you know?

    11. BB

      (laughs)

    12. JR

      (laughs) It's like, you look at him and he's 50, 51, but underneath it's 2019. (laughs)

    13. BB

      (laughs)

    14. JR

      He's got a little iPod jack in his fucking chest. (laughs)

    15. BB

      (laughs) A Restomod. People don't even know what we're talking about.

  16. 38:2140:12

    Cadillac Eldorado

    1. BB

      We take an old car, like my Corvette that's... Well, it's not out there, but my Corvette, uh, that's what it is. It's like a 1965 on the outside, but the inside is all 2000s. It's all...

    2. JR

      Yeah.

    3. BB

      The suspension is all brand new, the modern chassis.

    4. JR

      Yeah, I like if the underneath, I don't like the interior also to look-

    5. BB

      Right, me too.

    6. JR

      ... like... Yeah, it all has to look like, like, uh...

    7. BB

      Yeah.

    8. JR

      Speaking of that, that's another reason why I had to go see the, uh, that Tarantino movie twice. The fact, for that was fucking amazing, was I was so busy looking at all the cars (clears throat) and it has one of my favorite cars of all fucking time. I'm not a speed guy, I like cruising, and there's a, a '67 Cadillac Eldorado in the color that I want in that. It's one of the meanest looking fucking cars ever.

    9. BB

      What color is it in the movie? I don't remember.

    10. JR

      It's like this, I don't know what-

    11. BB

      It's like a yellow or something?

    12. JR

      Yeah, yeah, Dean asked me that. He's like, "What's the factory color?" You know-

    13. BB

      Oh, no!

    14. JR

      ... 'cause he knows it. You know, he knows all of that, but he-

    15. BB

      Yeah.

    16. JR

      ... he knows it, right? It's like a, um, it's like this-

    17. BB

      There it is. Look at that.

    18. JR

      No, no, that, that's, that's, that's, uh, Leo's car.

    19. BB

      That's a hard copy. That's a hard copy. Um, doesn't he have a soft top in that? No. No, you know what I'm thinking of? I'm thinking of strange things.

    20. JR

      No, it's, it's one of Sharon, Sharon Tate's friends. Just look up Cadillac Eldorado, 'cause they're just gonna have... Yeah, the car Brad Pitt was driving. Dude, Leon- this is Leonardo DiCaprio's best work.

    21. BB

      Oh, he's amazing in it.

    22. JR

      He is fuck... You gotta see it again.

    23. BB

      He's amazing in it.

    24. JR

      I, I'm actually gonna see it for a third time to catch all the shit and I don't wanna ruin it for anybody, so anybody want- I'm not gonna say anything, but, uh...

    25. BB

      So Leonardo DiCaprio has a different one than Brad Pitt does?

    26. JR

      Well, Brad Pitt's character is driving Leo's car.

    27. BB

      Oh, it's the yellow one that he's in that, in that picture-

    28. JR

      Yeah.

    29. BB

      ... when he's leaning out the door.

    30. JR

      No, no, no, but the, the, the, the Eldorado, which I think is a '67 is... It, one of Sharon Tate's friends pulls up to her house in it.

  17. 40:1241:06

    Old Cadillacs

    1. BB

    2. JR

      Yeah.

    3. BB

      Yeah, those old Cadillacs are fucking phenomenal. Good luck getting one of those into the Comedy Store parking lot, though.

    4. JR

      Do I know-

    5. BB

      There's no, no room for anything else.

    6. JR

      What I would like to do... Yeah, just have the underne-

    7. BB

      (laughs)

    8. JR

      Everything be brand new underneath and then just, yeah, just drive in the fucking right lane, smoke a cigar.

    9. BB

      You can get it done. I know people-

    10. JR

      I know, I know I can't, but I... That's a slippery slope.

    11. BB

      Oh, I'm already down it.

    12. JR

      I know you are. Yeah, you own a warehouse. (laughs)

    13. BB

      (laughs)

    14. JR

      That's the slippery slope. So I have my old truck and, uh, like, I like going fast. If I was like at a track, like Dean went out and drove a bunch of fast cars out in Vegas and he was just like... He, he, he posted them too. He goes, uh, he was showing how fucking cool it was and it's like the next time... That, that time I went out there, I took my lovely wife with me. So we were doing, you know, couple shit. I wasn't gonna be like, "Hey, thanks for coming to Vegas. I'm gonna go drive some fast cars."

    15. BB

      (laughs)

    16. JR

      "They have a CVS that's all lit up the Vegas style. You should check that out, honey." You know? Like, where the fuck would that get me?

  18. 41:0644:43

    Family Trip

    1. JR

      But, uh, that was a good trip for us too, by the way.

    2. BB

      A good family Vegas trip?

    3. JR

      Yeah, yeah, it's a good thing to do, uh, as a married person to just sort of like... My mother-in-law watched our kid and we came out there and it's fu- it's hilarious.

    4. BB

      That's nice, like dates, yeah.

    5. JR

      Yes, and we, uh, but we immediately go right back to like the... We, me and my wife have like ridiculous chemistry, laughing like just totally on the same wavelength and it just fucking resets. And I'm, I'm learning now like you gotta... Just with the day-to-day and dealing, you know, my job-

    6. BB

      Do you guys do date nights? Do you do a lot of date nights?

    7. JR

      Yeah, probably not enough. It's like everything. Do you work out? Yeah, not enough.

    8. BB

      Yeah.

    9. JR

      Do you eat well? Yeah, not enough. And then your relationship becomes like the same way. And I've, uh, I've finally gotten out of my stupid fucking, you know, die on every hill, fucking argue everything, you know. I'm getting out of that and I'm starting to understand, you know, how to, uh, how to do it.

    10. BB

      That you're not in competition with your wife, that's what you gotta understand.

    11. JR

      Yeah.

    12. BB

      Yeah.

    13. JR

      But then there's also that she's also human, so everything she says isn't right. (laughs)

    14. BB

      (laughs)

    15. JR

      So you just have to pick.

    16. BB

      (sighs) Yeah.

    17. JR

      You gotta pick, uh, 'cause I'm not gonna be that guy where it's just, "Oh, happy wife, happy life."

    18. BB

      Oh, those guys are done.

    19. JR

      I watch whatever TV she wants to watch. Uh, I'm envious of them-

    20. BB

      ... are you?

    21. JR

      Those, 'cause they have the smoothest fucking life, never lose their house-

    22. BB

      (laughs)

    23. JR

      ... I mean, they're just like this, they're like a fucking, uh, you know those big doorman buildings where, "I got a package for you, Mr. Wroten?"

    24. BB

      (laughs)

    25. JR

      Like, you become that in the relationship. You should just ha- wear, like, the bell cap and something like that-

    26. BB

      (laughs)

    27. JR

      ... uh, (laughs) you know what I mean?

    28. BB

      Yes.

    29. JR

      Those lifer doormen.

    30. BB

      Yeah, yeah.

  19. 44:4345:55

    Thailand

    1. BB

      them places, and, like, we'll go on vacations together and hang out with them all day long, 24 hours a day, multiple days in a row. Like we, every summer we go to somewhere in Europe or somewhere. We went to Thailand last year.

    2. JR

      Wow.

    3. BB

      Thailand and I- we did two-

    4. JR

      I'm too intimidated to go there.

    5. BB

      Thailand?

    6. JR

      Yeah.

    7. BB

      Oh, it's amazing. Those people are so nice.

    8. JR

      They are?

    9. BB

      So nice.

    10. JR

      Really?

    11. BB

      It's hot as fuck and they got weird bugs. And, uh, my little one got l- lit up by bugs, man. Like, she, she had a b- allergic reaction to something that bit her, and her whole hand was swollen. It was a real freakout moment.

    12. JR

      Yeah.

    13. BB

      Like, "Fuck, we're in Thailand and something's medically going wrong here."

    14. JR

      Wow.

    15. BB

      But it's also weird, too. It's like (clears throat) their culture's very odd.

    16. JR

      Assuming that had a happy ending.

    17. BB

      Yeah, yeah, it did.

    18. JR

      Let's say.

    19. BB

      Yeah, we just-

    20. JR

      'Cause you kinda-

    21. BB

      We were at a resort, luckily-

    22. JR

      Built me up to the apex of emotion.

    23. BB

      (laughs)

    24. JR

      "Hey, I go- uh, get-"

    25. BB

      Yeah, so-

    26. JR

      ... "get some toothpaste the other day."

    27. BB

      No, we, we, we got some medicine and they applied a topical medicine to it, and it actually went down within, you know ... By the next day it was okay. But it was a, it was an issue.

    28. JR

      Yeah.

    29. BB

      There's a-

    30. JR

      Scary, scary, those 24 hours.

  20. 45:5548:21

    Elephants

    1. BB

      They're weird. It's a weird little relationship you have with these animals. They're so gentle. Like, as long as they know that you are a kind person and you're, you're taking care of them, you wa-... 'Cause like the people that run this e- uh, they run an elephant rescue thing. It's really kinda cool.

    2. JR

      I don't know about that, Joe.

    3. BB

      That I'm a kind person? (laughs)

    4. JR

      No.

    5. BB

      As long as you-

    6. JR

      That an elephant is just like, "You know what? I don't really feel like yanking these logs up and down this fucking hill. I don't even understand why I'm doing this. Sh- this guy seems pretty cool."

    7. BB

      No, no, no. Not like that. You don't do anything with them other than feed them and you get to ride them. But like, and people are a little bummed out about riding them. And I'm like, "I don't really recommend riding them." Like, my family wanted to ride them and, you know, a lot of these people ride. But the b- the whole thing is a rescue thing. They take these animals that are in circuses and all these different sort of mistreated animals, and they take care of them and they let them live in a wild environment. They roam free.

    8. JR

      Yeah.

    9. BB

      They f- just feed them. So the elephants stay by, but they go, they go off on their own too, and then they come back. But they have these big piles of sugarcane, and so they're eating the sugarcane. They're eating ... They'll just stop while you, while you're walking with them, and they just rip a fucking tree out of its roots and start eating it.

    10. JR

      Wow.

    11. BB

      You realize how goddamn strong they are? They are fucking preposterously strong.

    12. JR

      I wish I, I wish that we viewed them more as, like, roommates-

    13. BB

      Yeah.

    14. JR

      ... than, like, ours.

    15. BB

      Right.

    16. JR

      So we, we divvied the planet up a little smarter.

    17. BB

      Yeah.

    18. JR

      Um, I gotta sh- I gotta shut my phone off, but I gotta show you ... I, I found this picture on, uh, Instagram of this tiger. And the fucking thing is, is, with, with like its legs back, it looks like it's doing dips-

    19. BB

      (laughs)

    20. JR

      ... and just the fucking muscles. It doesn't even look real. Like, like, like that thing exists on this planet and was just like, was just walking around free, that you could just bump into th- ... I understand, you know, like when people first came out here and they eradicated-

    21. BB

      Is that a panther?

    22. JR

      Uh, that's along the lines of it. I mean, look at that.

    23. BB

      Fuck. (laughs)

    24. JR

      How many pull-ups, Joe, do you need to do to fucking look like that?

    25. BB

      Fuck. Oh my God. Look at the fucking muscles on that thing.

    26. JR

      You must have seen that one ... Did you ever see that one where they were fucking with that tiger and that dude was on the, uh-

    27. BB

      On the elephant?

    28. JR

      ... on the elephant?

    29. BB

      Yeah.

    30. JR

      And this thing took off like Jordan in the dunking contest.

  21. 48:2150:33

    Tigers

    1. BB

      yeah, for sure. Yeah, I mean, there's a f- great video, recent video, like two weeks ago, of these guys on a motorcycle in India. And they're riding their motorcycles-

    2. JR

      Yes, I heard. (laughs)

    3. BB

      And the t- the tiger's chasing them, and the tiger almost gets them. It's full clip chasing them.

    4. JR

      I actually looked how fast they can run, and I'm surprised 'cause the guy was on like a scooter or something.

    5. BB

      ... they can go, like, 40 miles an hour I think, plus.

    6. JR

      I think what fucked him up was the surface that he started-

    7. BB

      Power. Power.

    8. JR

      ... running on. Right?

    9. BB

      Right, right, right.

    10. JR

      If he was more in his element, they get, like, you know, a dog in a kitchen gets a little fucking woke.

    11. BB

      (laughs)

    12. JR

      I think the tiger did that for a-

    13. BB

      They slide.

    14. JR

      ... yeah, for a little bit.

    15. BB

      Yeah. Yeah, on the concrete, right? Yeah.

    16. JR

      Yeah. Or maybe just the sound of the engine was just like, "That doesn't sound tasty."

    17. BB

      Well, it's one of the, where- rare places on Earth where tigers hunt people. There's, there's a history of them hunting people.

    18. JR

      They hunt or they come upon them and go, "I'll eat that."

    19. BB

      Oh, no, no, no. No. They hunt them. There's an area called the Sunderbans, and the Sunderbans tigers over the last 200 years have killed more than 300,000 people there. They actively hunt people.

    20. JR

      You know, believe it or not, it's a quick death.

    21. BB

      Oh, yeah.

    22. JR

      I already know what I would ever do if I ever came in contact with a tiger.

    23. BB

      Just do this?

    24. JR

      That's exactly what I would do.

    25. BB

      Give him the neck? (laughs)

    26. JR

      (laughs) . (bird tweeting) And make some defensive moves, like, or offensive moves, just to get him to go-

    27. BB

      Yeah.

    28. JR

      ... right towards it.

    29. BB

      Ugh. Yeah.

    30. JR

      It's just like the ol'... You UFC guys, you're all like, "I would rather get fucking choked out than knocked out." It's the same thing. You just go to sleep.

  22. 50:3351:56

    sloths

    1. BB

      people get confused and they don't understand. You, you're a moving thing and you don't move quick. And they're, they're all about eating moving things. If you're moving, they're trying to eat you. If you, if you're by yourself, they're gonna eat you.

    2. JR

      Well, it's amazing that wherever we started on this planet, that our brain was able to cover for the fact of how fucking slow we are.

    3. BB

      Mm-hmm.

    4. JR

      We're slower than squirrels, like, everything.

    5. BB

      Yeah.

    6. JR

      Everything is lightning fast out there.

    7. BB

      Except sloths.

    8. JR

      Sloths. I know, but they'll, they'll, like... And that, but that's their job.

    9. BB

      To get eaten.

    10. JR

      Yeah. They like-

    11. BB

      Seems like it.

    12. JR

      Yeah. They're like jalapeno poppers for fucking-

    13. BB

      (laughs)

    14. JR

      (laughs) You know that, you know that bullshit-

    15. BB

      No.

    16. JR

      ... that you just order? You're wanna go, say, "Ah, fuck it, let's get that, yeah, whatever."

    17. BB

      Let's have a sloth.

    18. JR

      Yeah.

    19. BB

      Yeah. This is-

    20. JR

      Before you go after the real thing you're trying to eat.

    21. BB

      One of my favorite videos was watching, uh, harpy eagles kill sloths. They swoop in and snatch them. They're like the largest-

    22. JR

      Yeah.

    23. BB

      ... eagles in South America. Huge fucking eagle.

    24. JR

      I did a zipline tour in, uh, in Costa Rica.

    25. BB

      I did that.

    26. JR

      Yeah, and the guy knew how to make the noise of the, this, this fucking, you know, ridiculous wing span bird that doesn't really exist in that area anymore, but they're, just in their DNA for them to freak out. He goes, "It's a three-toed sloth," and he imitated it. And the fucking thing just, just kinda looked around a little bit, pfft, and then left. (laughs)

    27. BB

      (laughs)

    28. JR

      It's like, dude, you just gave that thing a mini fucking heart attack.

    29. BB

      We did a zipline that was

  23. 51:5653:09

    rusted ladder

    1. BB

      one mile. You get on it, you, you zip across for one mi-... And as I'm sliding down this thing with my family, by the way, I'm thinking, "When was the last time they checked this? Who's checking this?"

    2. JR

      Oh, those are great thoughts to have.

    3. BB

      The, the fucking ladder was rusted and then lat- ratchet bolted, so they had, like, straps-

    4. JR

      Yeah.

    5. BB

      ... where they ratcheted where the ladder had rusted, and then they just grabbed a hold of the strap and, like, clamped down on it and ch- ch- ch- ch-... Tied it to the fucking tree-

    6. JR

      (laughs)

    7. BB

      ... and we're climbing up this. And it's like, "Oh, oh, watch out there, that part's rusted through." Like, "What? That's rusted through." And then you get to the top and they latch you up to this thing, and I'm telling you, you're above the rainforest and it's just (buzzing) .

    8. JR

      Yeah.

    9. BB

      And you go for, like, fucking 10 minutes, just (buzzing) .

    10. JR

      People don't understand how high those t-... We, we were just in the bullshit, we were just in the, the very tippity-top of... We were in Costa Rica, so we weren't, like, in the, the, the shit. And I just remember, like, the thing where we were doing, you know, the, uh, little, uh, I guess platform that you went up to was so fucking high off the ground and it was a third up the tree.

    11. BB

      Yeah.

    12. JR

      Like, when we were looking up at the three-toed sloth that was over there, it was like another 400 or 500 feet it seemed, up. It was ridiculous.

    13. BB

      Yeah.

    14. JR

      It was fucking ridiculous.

    15. BB

      Yeah.

    16. JR

      Nature, man.

    17. BB

      Nature, man.

  24. 53:0955:15

    bears

    1. BB

      There was a fucking great story recently of a guy. He's a musician and he was recording sounds of nature, and he fell asleep and a bear ate him. (laughs) So there's a recording of him getting eaten while he's recording sounds of nature.

    2. JR

      Oh. That, bears seem like it's a long death.

    3. BB

      Oh, yeah. They just eat you. They just hold you down like a salmon and start chewing chunks off of you.

    4. JR

      No.

    5. BB

      Oh, yeah, they do. Yeah, the, 'cause they're omnivores. Omnivores are the worst thing to get killed by. You're better off getting killed by a predator, 'cause predators generally just wanna kill you and kill you as quick as they can. But bears, first of all, they're of no predators other than other bears and humans with rifles. And if they're in a place where there's no humans with rifles, they're the top of the food chain. So they just put a paw down on you, so they hold you in place and just start chewing chunks of you, just eating chunks of you off.

    6. JR

      The video of the grizzly man?

    7. BB

      This is my special. (laughs)

    8. JR

      (laughs) .

    9. BB

      It's tonight at midnight on Netflix. The-

    10. JR

      You know, my brother called me up one time. Uh, I, I called him after he'd watched some video and it was one of those Komodo dragons. And it somehow grabbed, like, a deer-looking thing, whatever the fuck is in its world that's like that. And it f-... I'm sorry, people, but it snapped its fucking leg. And he said the thing was laying there and it couldn't move and it just started eating the thing's guts.

    11. BB

      Ugh.

    12. JR

      And the deer's sound of, "Aah, aah!"

    13. BB

      That's it. Yeah.

    14. JR

      "Don't! Shut that fucking thing off!"

    15. BB

      (laughs)

    16. JR

      I don't watch any of that. I don't watch execution videos. I don't want that on my hard drive.... I'm gonna bomb tonight watching that. How do you find it that quick? Jesus Christ, this guy's good.

    17. BB

      He's got them saved.

    18. JR

      (laughs)

    19. BB

      Yeah. There's a, a great one of a Komodo dragon eating a monkey. And, uh, it's got, like ... Lookit, it might be a baboon. It's a big-

    20. JR

      Baboons are no joke. I never knew, when they fucking yawn, you're like, "Oh, shit, that's like a tiger monkey."

    21. BB

      It's like a dog monkey. That's what it's like. It's like a wolf-

    22. JR

      They got those fang ... Yeah.

    23. BB

      Yeah. Crazy.

    24. JR

      Wolf. I've heard of a wolf.

    25. BB

      Yeah, like a wolf monkey. Yeah. They eat kids.

    26. JR

      Somebody's gotta have a new band name there.

    27. BB

      Wolf Monkey?

    28. JR

      Wolf Monkey. (laughs)

    29. BB

      (laughs) That's a good name for a band.

  25. 55:1558:41

    tiger

    1. JR

      Yeah. (laughs)

    2. BB

      (laughs) This is a great video of this Komodo dragon, he's got this monkey's feet and tail hanging out of his mouth. He's going ... (chewing noises) Just slowly choking this thing down, eating this entire monkey whole. (chewing noises) And the tail and the little, little feet are poking out and he's like ... (chewing noises) See if you can find that. Show it to Bill.

    3. JR

      No. I don't wanna ... I, I hon- ... I honestly don't wanna watch it.

    4. BB

      Just put it on that one so I can see it.

    5. JR

      I don't, I don't wanna see it.

    6. BB

      Can you put it on one TV? (laughs)

    7. JR

      Can you do that while I talk about my new special coming out?

    8. BB

      (laughs)

    9. JR

      Paper Tiger. (laughs)

    10. BB

      Speaking of animals, why'd you call it a ... Why Paper Tiger?

    11. JR

      Uh, 'cause I just think we're in a hilarious time. 'Cause you already took Strange Times. I have to stop saying ... Like, I, I ... Like, the amount of times I had to stop saying, "It's, it's a weird time," because it's ... That's the name of Joe's special. Because it just is. Like, what we're focusing on ... Like, oh my God, can you fucking believe this wild ... This real ... Like, half the shit that's going on, if, if, if it's true, is like, you could make a Will Smith or a To- Tom Cruise movie on those end of the world movies where they-

    12. BB

      Yeah.

    13. JR

      ... except, you know, it's not gonna have a happy ending. And it's just like ... It just kinda strikes me ... I don't know. And it was also ... I just ... I wanted people to watch it and have fun. Like, I'm not trying to fucking hurt anybody. It's not malicious.

    14. BB

      Yeah.

    15. JR

      But I- I'm doing my job. I'm talking about what's in the news and I'm fucking around, and it's part that, and then the other part is just me talking about my flaws, my temper and trying to work that shit out. That's all this fucking thing is, and for some reason, um ... Not just saying stand up, just a lot of shit that is not ... As far as like if you had priorities. You know? Like, if your house just burnt down, you're not being like, "God, we, we have to get a new toaster." You know? It's like, no, we need shelter. Like, that's-

    16. BB

      Right.

    17. JR

      ... the number one thing, but there's all this shit that's like, you know, a li- a line of importance like line 42 is, is getting gassed up to like s- number seven or number eight or something like that. And I already know people are gonna be like, you know, "Typical white male, 'cause you can't ..." Like, all of that shit, you know. Th- th- there's just something funny about how overtly, uh ... I don't know. I guess, um, reversed, like ... It's like you're doing the same fucking thing and you don't even realize you're doing it. As you're saying, like a lot ... Some groups of people, not all of them. Like I've been joking how like a lot of feminists are like smart, but it's not the ones that are on TV. It's like sports fans. A lot of sports fans are really smart, but not the ones that call in sports talk radio.

    18. BB

      (laughs) That's perfect.

    19. JR

      You know what I mean?

    20. BB

      Yes.

    21. JR

      It, it's like when we, when we would do the Opie and Anthony Show.

    22. BB

      Mm-hmm.

    23. JR

      Okay? Or like Howard Stern, like when he would do ... Back in the day when he would do live remotes. I love Howard Stern. I love Opie and Anthony, but like if I was a fan of this show, I don't have time and I'm not going to some fucking mall-

    24. BB

      (laughs)

    25. JR

      ... (laughs) in the middle of the day blowing off work or whatever the f- ... 'Cause I'm trying to get my own shit going. The people that show up, you love them because they're diehards, but they're out of their fucking minds. So, um, it just has to do with that. I'm kinda ... Um ... It doesn't necessarily have to do with me, but it does. It's one of, one of those things. And it's also another way of saying that I'm full of shit. And, you know-

    26. BB

      Yeah. You're a paper tiger.

    27. JR

      Yeah. Exactly.

    28. BB

      Yeah.

    29. JR

      Exactly. So.

    Opie and Anthony

    1. JR

    2. BB

      The Opie and Anthony days, you remember when they used to have, uh, stadium seating, like small stadium seating in the studio? And guys would come in the st- ... They would let fans come in the studio-

    3. JR

      Yeah.

    4. BB

      ... and sit and watch the show? Those are the good old days.

    5. JR

      Yep. I st- I ... Every time I go to New York, I, I ... There's like ... It's like a void. Uh, somebody said it perfectly-

    6. BB

      Yeah.

    7. JR

      ... like, you know Phantom Limb, you know?

    8. BB

      Yeah.

    9. JR

      That's what it feels like, and it ... You get ex- ... "Oh, I'm in New York and I'm gonna ..." (groans)

    10. BB

      Doesn't exist. That was the last show that I used to get up early for. Oona and ... When they were together, before Anthony got kicked out, and-

    11. JR

      Yeah.

    12. BB

      ... when Opie and Jimmy and Anthony were all together. It was amazing. That was-

    13. JR

      That was like seeing a band with all the original members on the first-

    14. BB

      Yes.

    15. JR

      ... fucking couple of albums toured.

    16. BB

      Yeah.

    17. JR

      Before David Lee goes solo and then, you know-

    18. BB

      Well, they were the first guys to get-

    19. JR

      It becomes a different thing.

    20. BB

      ... ported over to XM too, right?

    21. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    22. BB

      They were the first ... Or I think they were ... Were they before Howard or around the same time? But they were, they were the first-

    23. JR

      Yeah. Was that the sa- ... I think my name is ... They were on X- ... That was the one that was XM and then Sirius.

    24. BB

      Mm-hmm. Yeah. I think like Howard was on Sirius, they were on XM, and then they merged.

    25. JR

      Yeah.

    26. BB

      Yeah. But they were the first show, the first radio show, that let you just fuck around. Like, Howard is amazing, right? Greatest radio personality of all time by far. But Howard controlled the show. He had you on. He had the board in front of him. He controlled the board. He asked you questions. He had an agenda. And, you know, he was trying to make the show as entertaining as possible and then he got rid of you.

    27. JR

      Yeah.

    28. BB

      O and A, he just fucking ... "Come on in, guys. Come on in, Patrice. Come on in, Bill, Ari Shaffir-

    29. JR

      Yeah.

    30. BB

      ... have a seat." And everybody ... You'd be in the room. Ricky Gervais. 10 fucking people in the room. Norton, ev- ev- Norton would be doing-
