EVERY SPOKEN WORD

  1. 0:0015:00

    I'm not supposed to…

    1. JM

      I'm not supposed to smoke in my building, so...

    2. JR

      They don't let you smoke weed in your buil-

    3. JM

      Yeah.

    4. JR

      What kind of fucking arcade building-

    5. JM

      Because it's, because it's legal.

    6. JR

      Oh.

    7. JM

      Yeah.

    8. JR

      That makes sense.

    9. JM

      (laughs) We can't, we can't do things that are legal anymore.

    10. JR

      But you can smoke cigarettes in your building, right?

    11. JM

      No. No, no, no.

    12. JR

      No?

    13. JM

      No.

    14. JR

      Oh, you have a smoke-free building?

    15. JM

      Yeah.

    16. JR

      Health-conscious.

    17. JM

      Mm-hmm.

    18. JR

      Ah. Well, I get that kind of if, if you say no cigarettes, you kinda have to say no weed, too.

    19. JM

      But cigarette smoke stays...

    20. JR

      Yeah.

    21. JM

      Like, that gets in the walls and in the fabrics and all that stuff.

    22. JR

      Mm.

    23. JM

      Like, the weed just kinda...

    24. JR

      For us.

    25. JM

      Right.

    26. NA

      (laughs)

    27. JR

      But I think other people that don't smoke weed, they smell it. They're like, "Ew."

    28. JM

      Yeah, and those people need to get outta California.

    29. NA

      (laughs)

    30. JM

      I mean, you s- you smell it everywhere you go now.

  2. 15:0030:00

    (laughs) …

    1. NA

    2. JR

      (laughs)

    3. JM

      Yeah. Her name's Denise.

    4. JR

      (laughs) Lesbian friends are good.

    5. JM

      Yeah.

    6. JR

      The ones with those, uh, Patagonia vests?

    7. JM

      Oh, yeah. Every carabiner.

    8. NA

      Yeah.

    9. JR

      Yeah. (laughs)

    10. JM

      She, I mean, she, she's on survival mode 24/7.

    11. JR

      Carabiners.

    12. JM

      She's got... We have earthquake drills every day. Yeah.

    13. JR

      Really?

    14. JM

      Not really. (laughs)

    15. JR

      Does she stay in your building? Is she in-

    16. JM

      She's in the building, yeah.

    17. JR

      Oh, okay.

    18. JM

      Yeah, she's my alpha.

    19. JR

      Does she keep food?

    20. JM

      Oh, yeah.

    21. JR

      Really?

    22. JM

      Canned preserves.

    23. JR

      Oh, okay.

    24. JM

      Yeah. Storage.

    25. JR

      You know you're going deep when you have that fucking preacher food. You know that stuff like that Jim, Jim Bakker was selling?

    26. JM

      Oh, God. (laughs)

    27. JR

      D- did you ever see that?

    28. JM

      Uh, it makes sense.

    29. JR

      (laughs)

    30. JM

      But it was just... Was it just like... It's almost like spam but can live for-

  3. 30:0045:00

    Yeah. …

    1. JR

      should treat each other as if, you know, th- these are our brothers and sisters, do unto others as you would have them do unto you, don't steal, don't murder, all that stuff, we can keep together and live in peace.

    2. JM

      Yeah.

    3. JR

      And then people got ahold of it. They got their-

    4. JM

      Exactly.

    5. JR

      ... their greasy little mitts on it.

    6. JM

      Mm-hmm.

    7. JR

      I think the shellfish and the cloven hoof shit, like with pork, like that, that, uh, is in, um... Is that in the Torah or the...

    8. JM

      What a great word, cloven hoof.

    9. JR

      Yeah.

    10. JM

      I love that.

    11. JR

      Well, you're not sup- a cl- an animal with a cloven hoof that eats its cud.

    12. JM

      Yeah.

    13. JR

      Like pork, you're not supposed to eat pork, but that's probably because they had trichinosis.

    14. JM

      Mm-hmm. But this woman sows, she's a witch. (laughs)

    15. JR

      Yeah. And what the fuck happened with Noah? How did Noah... Like, what was he doing up there? He was doing drugs.

    16. JM

      In the Ark?

    17. JR

      No. I mean, for sure.

    18. JM

      He was doing drugs? (laughs) Is that what you said?

    19. JR

      Yeah, they were all doing drugs.

    20. JM

      Two of every kind.

    21. JR

      Moses, Moses was doing drugs. Yeah.They were all doing drugs, I guarantee you. I gu- I think that's probably the root of most of these religious experiences. Those guys found mushrooms, they were tripping balls, they came back with some really-

    22. JM

      Good stories.

    23. JR

      ... loosely put together, uh, commandment that they got from God.

    24. JM

      Yeah.

    25. JR

      Like Moses when he came down from the mountain. In Jerusalem, the Jerusalem scholars now believe that the burning bush that talked to God-

    26. JM

      Oh, God.

    27. JR

      ... or talked to Moses-

    28. JM

      Yeah.

    29. JR

      ... was the acacia tree, which is a tree that's rich in DMT. So they believe this thing of a burning bush was actually them smoking this plant and having these psychedelic experiences.

    30. JM

      And talking to it.

  4. 45:001:00:00

    Well, didn't... wasn't like,…

    1. JR

      a wine cave? What does that mean?

    2. JM

      Well, didn't... wasn't like, Elizabeth Warren said something, like he had this fundraiser at a wine cave? Like, yeah, it was all these like rich billionaires, and it was like a, a, a, a cave.

    3. JR

      Well-

    4. JM

      What is it called? A wine cellar, but it happened to be a cave, somewhere out here in California.

    5. JR

      They're just trying really hard to keep it from being Bernie. Really hard.

    6. JM

      Oh, yeah.

    7. JR

      They don't want Bernie Sanders.

    8. JM

      Yeah.

    9. JR

      If he get, if he gets in there... Apparently, you know, he was an Independent for so long, and he doesn't wanna play ball, and he doesn't accept any money, doesn't ac- accept any money from any-

    10. JM

      He's just like a cool grandpa.

    11. JR

      Yeah.

    12. JM

      I think he's... I mean, shit, I, I love Bernie. You know why? 'Cause he... Like, you could say, "Oh, happy Martin Luther King Day." That's... But then you look at an old picture of him, and he's marching next to Martin Luther King-

    13. JR

      Yes. Right.

    14. JM

      ... for civil rights.

    15. JR

      Yeah.

    16. JM

      That's amazing. You can't be like, "No." Like, where were you?

    17. JR

      Right.

    18. JM

      You know? It's like, I, I just... I don't know. I, I have hope. I have hope for somebody just to-

    19. JR

      I have hope for him socially.

    20. JM

      Yeah.

    21. JR

      I like, I like what he stands for socially.

    22. JM

      But then you look at-

    23. JR

      I don't know if economically it's feasible.

    24. JM

      I-

    25. JR

      'Cause I don't, I don't understand economics. Like when, when people start talking about... (sighs) He th- when, when he was on here, he was describing that if they just took a very small amount of money from every transaction that they do, like less than one cent.

    26. JM

      Mm-hmm.

    27. JR

      From every transaction that Wall Street does, that it would add up to more than enough money to pay for healthcare and a lot of other things.

    28. JM

      Schools.

    29. JR

      He was explaining it all. And he was explaining it like very calmly, and it didn't seem like he was bullshitting also.

    30. JM

      Yeah. I don't think he is a bullshitter.

  5. 1:00:001:05:16

    One too many auditions.…

    1. JM

      to be 22, 23 years old. And I was like, "What happened? Where are your parents? Where-"

    2. JR

      One too many auditions. Blew a fuse.

    3. JM

      Yeah, just snapped. "If I hear no one more time!"

    4. JR

      Yeah.

    5. JM

      "No!" I know, I mean-

    6. JR

      CAA dropped him, and he's just out there ranting and raving.

    7. JM

      CAA dropped him. (laughs)

    8. JR

      (laughs)

    9. JM

      "I'll show you, Hollywood Reporter!"

    10. JR

      You motherfuckers.

    11. JM

      God.

    12. JR

      There are people, though, that you meet in this town, when you meet them early in their journey-

    13. JM

      Mm-hmm.

    14. JR

      ... and they still have hope. Like, "It's not worked out yet, but it's gonna. I'm gonna make it." And then you run into ... And comics, you see.

    15. JM

      Yeah, oh, I mean, that's the thing I think I'm, it's so relatable in our field-

    16. JR

      Yeah.

    17. JM

      ... as well 'cause you-

    18. JR

      Yeah.

    19. JM

      ... you know those people.

    20. JR

      Yeah, we do know those people.

    21. JM

      I've al- I wanna say, I almost was one of those people.

    22. JR

      Were you?

    23. JM

      Oh, yeah.

    24. JR

      When?

    25. JM

      What time? I mean-

    26. JR

      Give me a time where it w- like ...

    27. JM

      2002 and then 2005.

    28. JR

      Really?

    29. JM

      And then two thous- Yeah, I mean, there were several-

    30. JR

      Well, I didn't meet you until when? 2007-ish?
