    Ari’s Spanish immersion reveal: why the texts were all in Spanish

    1. JR

      You'll be fine.

    2. BK

      One cigar will fucking gun for a week.

    3. JR

      Shut up, you'll be fine.

    4. BK

      I don't even need an excuse.

    5. JR

      Boom, and we're live.

    6. BK

      Okay. (laughs)

    7. TS

      (laughs)

    8. JR

      So the last few weeks we've been getting these annoying text messages from Ari, where everything's in Spanish.

    9. TS

      Everything.

    10. JR

      Everything.

    11. BK

      Todo.

    12. JR

      We're like, "What is this..." Uh, how long is this joke gonna go?

    13. BK

      En escuela.

    14. JR

      And then he gets here with a backpack on, like, "Where you been?" "I was in Medellín." (laughs)

    15. BK

      Me- Medellín.

    16. TS

      (laughs)

    17. JR

      He was, he was doing, you were doing a, a Spanish immersion thing?

    18. BK

      Yeah, 100% Spanish. I brought back these Cuban cigars.

    19. JR

      Wow.

    20. BK

      Yeah.

    21. JR

      So, did you-

    22. BK

      In Colombia.

    23. JR

      Did you have any Spanish-speaking lessons before you went to Colombia?

    24. BK

      Cero.

    25. JR

      Was that-

    26. TS

      You know what that means?

    27. BK

      Yeah. Sounds like zero. (laughs) It does sound a lot like zero. It's a pretty close language.

    28. TS

      Well, you learn a lot.

    29. BK

      A lot of it's pretty close.

    30. JR

      So, zero?

  2. 1:182:42

    Latinx, gendered Spanish, and who’s “behind” on wokeness

    1. BK

      And he ca- he called his cousin, and there's a term, "Latinx," which is not Latino or Latina, it's, you know, it's, it's-

    2. TS

      It's a gender-neutral way of saying Latin- La-

    3. JR

      Yeah.

    4. BK

      Yeah. (laughs) And he says to his cousin in Spanish, you know, uh, "Tu sabe Latinx?" And he's like, "Uh, uh, ¿maricón?"

    5. JR

      (laughs)

    6. BK

      (laughs)

    7. TS

      (laughs) Yeah. He goes... He's like... I tried to explain. He goes, "What?" (laughs) And I'm like, I'm like, "You know, it's a gender-neutral, so you're saying..." He goes, "Like a faggot?"

    8. BK

      (laughs)

    9. TS

      And I was like... You know, like, como, but...

    10. BK

      I'm like, uh, that's not exactly-

    11. TS

      Como?

    12. BK

      ... what I'm saying. My teacher, we were talking about, like, parents and stuff like that, and there was like, the word for, for parents is just, like, fathers, pretty much.

    13. TS

      Mm-hmm.

    14. BK

      And so then it's like, what if you have two mothers? Do you, do you call it madres as parents instead of like... You know, if it's just father, it's padre. If it's just mother, it's madre. But if it's parents, it's padres.

    15. TS

      Right.

    16. BK

      So I'm like, "Do... It's just a gay?" And they're like, she was like, "No, still padres." And then, you know, that's okay these days.

    17. TS

      (laughs)

    18. BK

      It's okay with her being as forward as she can be.

    19. TS

      Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

    20. BK

      Like, that's fine, though.

    21. TS

      Yeah.

    22. BK

      What country do you think is most in the dark ages with wokeness?

    23. JR

      Ru- Russia.

    24. BK

      Oh, yeah.

    Russia: press freedom, disappearances, and touring there

    1. JR

      Yeah, I gotta think about that.

    12. BK

      Fuck them dirty, man.

    13. JR

      What-

    14. TS

      I think like the-

    15. BK

    16. TS

      Russia doesn't fuck around, dude.

    17. JR

      No, they don't fuck around.

    18. TS

      At all.

    19. JR

      They don't fuck around.

    20. TS

      At all. You know? Like, you're... There, there's a, kind of a, I don't know, selling, like, uh, point from them that, that it's... They're trying to be, um, uh, progressive thinkers. Like, some of them will, like, disguise it as that, but they're definitely... They're not fucking around, dude.

    21. JR

      Someone from Russia, some government agency made a tweet about, uh, freedom of the press.

    22. BK

      What did they say?

    23. JR

      About r- respecting, uh, respecting the press and res- appreciating the press. And someone, some journalist said, "This is a country that has literally... Like, this administration has literally been responsible for murders of dozens of people-"

    24. TS

      Mm-hmm.

    25. JR

      "... that are, that are journalists."

    26. TS

      Yeah.

    27. BK

      Wow.

    28. JR

      Like, when people report on them or people would... Running, running against certain members of the government-

    29. TS

      Yeah.

    30. JR

      ... they would just whack them.

    Conor McGregor’s “inside joke” photo pose and fight hype

    1. TS

      Yep, yep.

    2. JR

      Did you ever see when Conor McGregor bought that same shirt and was taking pictures-

    3. TS

      (laughs)

    4. BK

      He was? This one?

    5. JR

      ... with people with that same pose? Yeah.

    6. BK

      Really?

    7. JR

      Conor was doing the same pose, like-

    8. BK

      (laughs)

    9. JR

      ... and not, and not, not telling anyone.

    10. BK

      The same, like out-

    11. JR

      And so everybody had to figure out what the fuck Conor was doing. Like, look at him.

    12. BK

      (laughs)

    13. TS

      (laughs)

    14. JR

      (laughs)

    15. AS

      (laughs)

    16. JR

      Look at his face. Look at his face.

    17. BK

      That might be my favorite thing ever.

    18. JR

      He's just a fucking animal. Goddamn, I love that guy. (laughs)

    19. BK

      (laughs)

    20. JR

      Come on, man. Pretty fucking close.

    21. TS

      Nice.

    22. BK

      There's nothing better in the world than a joke that no one gets but you.

    23. AS

      And he wasn't explaining it at all.

    24. BK

      I know.

    25. AS

      He was like, "Yeah."

    26. JR

      And people picked up on it. It's just this, the handshake thing. I mean, Conor is normally, like, you know, putting his fist in p- people's faces and talking shit, and in that one he's got his hand out like he's gonna shake hands.

    27. BK

      (laughs)

    28. JR

      Look at it. It's like the same thing. He's holding his hand out andi , uh, Del Sano isn't even thinking about shaking his hand.

    29. AS

      He's not even looking to get his hand shaken.

    30. JR

      Look at Dana White.

    5. TS

      Oh, you were like, "Was that me?"

    6. JR

      He was very aggressive.

    7. TS

      (laughs)

    8. BK

      I was, I was... It was very aggressive.

    9. JR

      Very aggressive. I didn't understand the carrot either. What was up with the carrot?

    10. TS

      It's from, um, Steven Seagal. That's who I was dressed as.

    11. JR

      Right, I know that, yeah.

    12. TS

      The president of Belarus gave him a carrot. It's like the Conor thing.

    13. BK

      Oh. (laughs)

    14. TS

      The president of Belarus gave him a carrot one time-

    15. BK

      Yeah.

    16. TS

      ... and then Seagal just ate it on camera.

    17. JR

      Look at him. He's there with the carrot.

    18. TS

      It's just weird, so I just started with the carrot.

      And the hair. The-

    24. JR

      The glasses.

    25. TS

      The fucking jet black hair.

    26. JR

      That hair is so ridiculous.

    27. TS

      It's like 62 in this photo.

    28. BK

      You know... Do you remember when we were, we were, we were in the Whoops and we, you said, "One day, Tom, your, your numbers will be through the roof," and he was like, "Ah, I got lost in the canyons."

    29. AS

      And you were filming the thing that day?

    30. BK

      It was when he was filming and he was dancing all day.

    12. JR

      Oh, yeah, she had a bunch of stuff done.

    13. BK

      No, you saw her, and then she looked totally different. Totally different.

    14. JR

      Th- they do the lips-

    15. TS

      Horrible.

    16. JR

      Once y- once you do the lips, man-

    17. BK

      No, she didn't look horrible.

    18. TS

      She came back with something-

    19. BK

      But she just looked so dif- she looked unrecognizable-

    20. JR

      She started doing lips.

    21. AS

      Right.

    22. BK

      ... as, as herself. Yeah, lips-

    23. JR

      You do your lips, it's like, that's, your, the Fibonacci sequence is all off.

    24. BK

      Yeah.

    25. JR

      Your, your, you look at someone's l- their, well, their lips are off, you're like, "Hey, what the..." Like, I didn't know Eliza had a nose job. She was explaining to me that she had a nose job. And I go, "Oh, well it's a fucking good one." So I paid a lot of money for it, yeah.

    26. TS

      Wow, yeah.

    27. JR

      See, w- this is what happens when women get their face lift, their f- their mouth gets too big.

    28. TS

      Right.

    29. JR

      It's like, why is your... Yeah, because you're pulling your mouth on the sides, so the hole is larger-

    30. BK

      Right.

  10. 31:1441:50

    Bathroom/poop/fart mega-riff: bidets, showers, and smell science

    1. BK

      Hey, do you let the water on the bidet go into your asshole sometimes to-

    2. JR

      Right in there, and I have to shit.

    3. BK

      ... and then do, it goes out, you can, like, almost, like, flush it out?

    4. JR

      If I have a shit that's kinda halfway stuck, like, I take a shit-

    5. TS

      (laughs)

    6. JR

      ... and then I start cleaning, I'm like, "I think there's more up there." And so I'll just really concentrate that jet right in my butthole.

    7. TS

      Right in the hole, yeah.

    8. JR

      And it gets in there, and then all of a sudden, yikes.

    9. TS

      Boom.

    10. JR

      It's like there was a castaway. There was, like, some hidden shit that was trying to hang out in there.

    12. BK

      Ugh.

    13. JR

      It just makes a plop.

    14. BK

      I love that. It breaks the O-ring?

    15. JR

      Yeah.

    16. TS

      You take a m- like a, take a sloppy shit, and you're like, "Ugh."

    17. JR

      Ugh.

    18. TS

      And then you let it run a full cycle.

    19. JR

      Oh, full cycle.

    20. TS

      And then you wipe and there's something still there. You're like, "I got problems."

    21. BK

      (laughs)

    22. JR

      I got problem, yeah.

    23. TS

      This would've been a problem in '97.

    24. JR

      That's the problem with hair. When I wipe, sometimes I wipe it with hair, and the s- the width of the smear is so disgusting-

    25. TS

      Yeah.

    26. JR

      ... that I just take a shower.

    27. TS

      Yeah.

    28. JR

      I'm like, "What is-"

    29. BK

      I go straight to shower. Shit showers are good.

    30. JR

      Oh, God.

  11. 41:501:27:21

    Rest stops, closeted politicians, and the Arby’s card scandal

    1. JR

      That's what's so strange about those hookup spots for some creepy gay dudes.

    2. TS

      Yeah.

    3. JR

      Where they would find a spot-

    4. BK

      Can you believe that?

    5. JR

      Like yeah, they, they, they meet in toilets in r- uh, like remember there was that one, was it a senator that got busted?

    6. TS

      Yeah.

    7. AS

      Oh, yeah. Tapping, tapping...

    8. BK

      Minnesota, Minnesota, Minnesota.

    9. JR

      Yeah, yeah. They had something that they would do.

    10. TS

      Wait, wasn't he from Idaho? But it was in Minnesota.

    11. AS

      It was in Minnesota.

    12. TS

      But he was a senator from Idaho.

    13. AS

      And he goes, "No, I was just, I was just tapping to see if he was there." (laughs)

    14. JR

      Yeah.

    15. TS

      And he's the creepiest guy. Craig, I think, was his last name. He's the one who said, um, when Clinton was in trouble, he was like, "Clinton has been a very naughty boy. Dare I say, a nasty boy."

    16. AS

      Oh.

    17. TS

      We were like, "Ugh. What?"

    18. BK

      What?

    19. TS

      The weirdest thing an adult man has ever said.

    20. AS

      You're like, "I know you once... I know you once were looking at Clinton, but we're looking at you now."

    21. TS

      Yeah, dude.

    22. BK

      Yeah. Like...

    23. TS

      Somebody who says it like that, you know, that word selection-

    24. AS

      Dare I say.

    25. TS

      "Dare I say, a nasty boy."

    26. JR

      Well those guys were around before the internet, right?

    27. TS

      Yeah.

    28. JR

      But this is probably-

    29. AS
