    Can't do much more…

    1. RB

      Can't do much more to-

    2. JR

      No.

    3. RB

      ... me, can they? Well, Joe, it's so great to see you.

    4. JR

      Great to see you, too. I love the sunglasses. They're pretty slick.

    5. RB

      Aren't they the coolest?

    6. JR

      They're perfect.

    7. RB

      These are... Okay, I thought I was getting the coolest ones, but then my friends who were shopping with me, they came running back and they were like, "Uh-uh, uh-uh, don't pay yet, don't pay yet. Honey, take a look at these." And I looked, and there's a separation, like, between the frame.

    8. JR

      Right.

    9. RB

      See, you wanna look.

    10. JR

      Okay.

    11. RB

      I did my own eye makeup, so it's a mess. I couldn't get anybody to fix my makeup today.

    12. JR

      What's the benefit of the separation?

    13. RB

      Fucking art.

    14. JR

      Just looks dope?

    15. RB

      Fuck yeah. (laughs)

    16. JR

      I get it. I, I agree with you.

    17. RB

      You got a little bit of brow peeping through.

    18. JR

      I see.

    19. RB

      See?

    20. JR

      I like 'em a lot. They're very cool.

    21. RB

      And look at the pinker flesh, or whatever you call this. That's my color.

    22. JR

      I like the bracelet too. The pink one? That's jamming.

    23. RB

      The pink one.

    24. JR

      It's pretty dope.

    25. RB

      I've had it for a long, long time.

    26. JR

      (laughs)

    27. RB

      Like Phyllis Diller, I just collect weird costumes, you know?

    28. JR

      Yeah.

    29. RB

      And just wear 'em in the house. But I decided to start wearing 'em out more now.

    30. JR

      I like it.

  2. 15:0030:00

    Mm. …

    1. RB

    2. JR

      Mm.

    3. RB

      But now they can't hold it down. This is the first time in history, I said to him, "It seems to me like this might be the first time in history where no church or state can keep the facts from the people."

    4. JR

      That is true.

    5. RB

      And he said-

    6. JR

      Yeah.

    7. RB

      "Yeah, that's true."

    8. JR

      That does feel like this.

    9. RB

      And I mean, that's gonna create the most coolest shit.

    10. JR

      Yeah.

    11. RB

      Like cars that'll fly or something. I don't know how it will manifest-

    12. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    13. RB

      ... but it's high thinking and it's good. And the more we see the rot at the bottom, which is everywhere now-

    14. JR

      Right.

    15. RB

      ... you just gotta keep looking up. Just keep looking up. Don't look down, right? You know, when you're on that tightrope? That's what they say, "Never look down when you're walking a tightrope." You just keep looking forward and up a little bit. Forward and up.

    16. JR

      Hmm.

    17. RB

      You know? And, uh, just keep going. It's tough for people right now. Whoo, and I know, uh, people are getting censored and what the hell, you know? What, what are we gonna do about it? You, you wanted to talk about that. It's terrible.

    18. JR

      Well, yeah, for sure, and we, we were, as we got here, Jaime was informing me that there's some new YouTube policy that is, uh, saying what, what was the descriptions of our podcast?

    19. NA

      Uh, number 1357 got a human review with harmful or dangerous acts.

    20. JR

      Hmm.

    21. NA

      That's you and Ari just talking.

    22. RB

      What was the subject? What was-

    23. JR

      Do you remember what we talked about? We probably joked around about harmful or dangerous acts. (laughs)

    24. NA

      Uh, yeah, so I mean, it's discussing it, but I, I think, I think that they're saying it, it's, it's in the video of it. Like, they're saying, "Is this in your video?" And I would, I would say, "No."

    25. JR

      No.

    26. NA

      It's just discussing it, so that's r- I don't know.

    27. JR

      So, um, when we, can we re- appeal that, or is that it?

    28. RB

      Maybe they wanna open a dialogue.

    29. NA

      That's it.

    30. JR

      That's it.

  3. 30:0045:00

    Well, it seems like…

    1. RB

      Auschwitz doesn't exist, and even the thought of it doesn't exist. But you really can't, 'cause I think when you read about Western society and all of that, you're like, "M- maybe that was the, you know-"... that's where it leads.

    2. JR

      Well, it seems like throughout history there's been evil governments. There's been certain evil organizations that have done horrific things.

    3. RB

      Yeah.

    4. JR

      Like way back to as, as far as we know, from Rome, to the Inquisition, to the Mongols, to the-

    5. RB

      Yeah.

    6. JR

      ... you know. I mean, there, there's been horrific things done by human beings. And one of the things about knowing about things like Auschwitz is it lets us know that even though things in this country right now are relatively great in comparison to the rest of the world, relatively great comparison to some parts of the world that are war-torn and terrible right now, it could go bad. It could go bad because that's what humans are capable of. Humans are capable, when they're led by the wrong ideology, when they're, they're, they're cult-minded, when they're all in, they're, they can do some terrible, awful things. And we need to know that. And it's one of the things about having something like Auschwitz in our history that we, we know that that's possible.

    7. RB

      Well, we know that you can make... You can convince people of anything.

    8. JR

      Yes.

    9. RB

      We know that.

    10. JR

      Yes. For sure.

    11. RB

      And if you, like he said, if, if you tell a lie, if you make it big enough and tell it often enough, everybody will believe it.

    12. JR

      Well, if you just keep talking.

    13. RB

      Mm-hmm.

    14. JR

      Th- one of the things that I think is really interesting about the internet today is you're seeing groups of people that are connected to groups of people. And for sure, this podcast is guilty of it in a certain way, although it's unintentional. But there, there are people out there that are essentially running online cults.

    15. RB

      Yeah.

    16. JR

      It's not hard to do.

    17. RB

      No, it's not hard to do.

    18. JR

      It's not hard to do. Y- its... People love a leader. We have, uh, an inherent desire to be a part of a tribe.

    19. RB

      Right.

    20. JR

      It's, it's-

    21. RB

      Well, 'cause we're tribal.

    22. JR

      Yeah. Look, I have a goddamn American flag behind me. I mean there's a reason for that.

    23. RB

      Yeah.

    24. JR

      I, I, I love America. I really do. I love the idea of it, the idea of freedom, self-expression.

    25. RB

      That's right.

    26. JR

      And this, this is one of the rare places on earth where you can come here with fuck-all and really make something outta yourself. Y- there's no cast system here. We celebrate people that are poor that make it to become huge. Look at all the entertainers and-

    27. RB

      We need to-

    28. JR

      ... singers, rock and roll people.

    29. RB

      ... I, I believe that basically 'cause, you know, basically I'm still like I always was. People think, "Oh, you're no longer a socialist." Well, I'm not gonna call it socialism anymore. You know, I ran as a socialist candidate in 2012-

    30. JR

      What's changed?

  4. 45:001:00:00

    How's it doing? …

    1. RB

    2. JR

      How's it doing?

    3. RB

      Oh, I don't know. I don't-

    4. JR

      You don't even pay attention?

    5. RB

      Uh, well, uh, I kinda do now, but I don't know. I mean, not really I don't. But, uh, I don't know, some people called me and told me to look for something, so I did.

    6. JR

      Yeah?

    7. RB

      Yeah.

    8. JR

      Um, you could do a podcast very easily. And I think if you did it would be awesome.

    9. RB

      It would be awesome-

    10. JR

      You know?

    11. RB

      ... because you know what? After they kicked me off TV and said I was a threat to America and everything, you know?

    12. JR

      They called you a threat to America?

    13. RB

      Well, something like that. (laughs)

    14. JR

      (laughs)

    15. RB

      A threat to Hollywood.

    16. JR

      (laughs) A threat to Hol-... Everything's a threat to Hollywood right now. Hollywood-

    17. RB

      Ain't it?

    18. JR

      ... seems to be crumbling at the foundations.

    19. RB

      Isn't it great? It's horrible too.

    20. JR

      It's great. Well, I love movies, so I'm bummed out.

    21. RB

      But the movies all suck.

    22. JR

      Well, I heard-

    23. RB

      Shit, they suck.

    24. JR

      ... that Avatar is coming out, Avatar 2. I'm very excited about that.

    25. RB

      Avatar? I never saw that.

    26. JR

      John Wick 3 was pretty fucking awesome.

    27. RB

      Ah!

    28. JR

      (laughs)

    29. RB

      I... That's my favorite. John Wick is my favorite.

    30. JR

      I love that movie.

  5. 1:00:001:12:13

    Right.Right. …

    1. RB

      I- I asked for, I asked for it to be defined. I- I said, "Could I have a definition of what offensive means to you?"

    2. JR

      Right.Right.

    3. RB

      And they said, "You know what it means." That-

    4. JR

      Oh, geez.

    5. RB

      I said, "Could you, uh, discuss it with my lawyers?" "No, you know what it means."

    6. JR

      What does it mean?

    7. RB

      I don't know.

    8. JR

      No, what... That, th- this is the problem.

    9. RB

      It could mean you fart or something, sometime. I mean, these people that think people are rude are the rudest fucking assholes on earth. They're the most insensitive-

    10. JR

      They think they're doing the right thing, though.

    11. RB

      The people that think they're so sensitive, they're insen-

    12. JR

      Yeah.

    13. RB

      Do you think they think they're doing the right thing?

    14. JR

      Yes.

    15. RB

      I do too.

    16. JR

      I think that they think that.

    17. RB

      Because I don't think they ever get to hear anybody like me say, "You're not doing the right thing."

    18. JR

      But we live in an echo chamber out here.

    19. RB

      "Please think it through a bit."

    20. JR

      We live in an echo chamber.

    21. RB

      Think it through a bit. I know, that's why it's up to us to go-

    22. JR

      Yeah.

    23. RB

      ... "You guys, um, think things through a little bit more."

    24. JR

      Yeah.

    25. RB

      Now, I'm, I'm not condemning anybody. I'm not that kind of person.

    26. JR

      I think we need more conversations.

    27. RB

      Absolutely.

    28. JR

      And we need more-

    29. RB

      We used to have the best dinner parties-

    30. JR

      Yeah.
