EVERY SPOKEN WORD

  1. 0:0015:00

    Uh... …

    1. JR

      Uh...

    2. SS

      What if we, like, wrote you a new theme song? What if we just, like, started pitching theme songs right now?

    3. JR

      You could do that.

    4. SS

      Really?

    5. JR

      Yeah, I might do some fucking do that.

    6. BJ

      Cool. Yeah, Ben. (laughs)

    7. JR

      We're rolling. We're, we're actually-

    8. BJ

      (laughs)

    9. JR

      We're rolling right now.

    10. SS

      Yeah.

    11. BJ

      (laughs)

    12. JR

      Honey, honey.

    13. SS

      Great.

    14. BJ

      (laughs)

    15. JR

      Um, how did the band get back together? 'Cause it... Literally, the band is back together. Like, you know that expression you say with your friends? "Bro, the band's back together."

    16. BJ

      (laughs) Yeah.

    17. JR

      The band-

    18. SS

      We haven't even said that shit yet.

    19. BJ

      Yeah.

    20. JR

      The band's back together. (fingers snapping)

    21. BJ

      Bam.

    22. JR

      The band's back together.

    23. BJ

      I said bam? Oh, fuck. (laughs)

    24. SS

      The band, the band's back together.

    25. JR

      The band is back together. You're saying bam?

    26. BJ

      I know.

    27. JR

      I say bam all the time.

    28. BJ

      I just... I'd rather say, like, titties or (laughs) something-

    29. JR

      Um, I'm a bam guy.

    30. BJ

      Okay, bam's good.

  2. 15:0030:00

    Mm-hmm. …

    1. JR

      That could fucking distort your perception. How about being a doctor, emergency room doctor?

    2. BJ

      Mm-hmm.

    3. JR

      Every day, bullet wounds, stab wounds-

    4. BJ

      Yeah.

    5. JR

      ... car accidents, dealing with that every day.

    6. BJ

      Hm.

    7. JR

      That, that shit's gotta be bad for you. That could... can't be good for your head.

    8. BJ

      100%.

    9. SS

      Trauma, trauma, trauma.

    10. JR

      Oh, the model's worried about losing two inches. She gonna be okay?

    11. BJ

      Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, like, I'm okay. I'm not gonna-

    12. JR

      She gonna be okay?

    13. BJ

      I'm not gonna get my violin out over this. (laughs)

    14. SS

      But, but, you know, the doctor's not 14 years old, that's a difference, you know.

    15. JR

      Oh, you, you're only super hot, not like super-duper hot?

    16. SS

      Jesus.

    17. JR

      How do you do it?

    18. SS

      How do you get up every day?

    19. BJ

      No, I was definitely lower, lower level, for sure. Like, there was... I was like catalog. I wa-... You know what I mean? I knew what I was.

    20. SS

      Mm-hmm. But what I, I mean, it's all kinda crazy, right? You just get this amazing roll of the dice with your bone structure and then everybody's like, "Here's some money." And you're like, "What do I have to do for this?"

    21. BJ

      Yeah.

    22. SS

      Sit there.

    23. JR

      You don't have to do anything.

    24. SS

      Hold this.

    25. BJ

      Yeah.

    26. JR

      You just gotta do a... You gotta-

    27. SS

      Dance like a monkey, Derek.

    28. JR

      ... you gotta Zoolander.

    29. BJ

      Well, you gotta be smart with it. You gotta know what it is.

    30. SS

      (laughs)

  3. 30:0045:00

    Yeah. …

    1. JR

    2. BJ

      Yeah.

    3. SS

      Yes, they direct it.

    4. JR

      There's so much of it. There's so much crazy shit of guys using batons on women just standing there.

    5. BJ

      Oh, God. I know it's-

    6. JR

      The girl's just standing there and he's using a baton on the front of her thighs and throws her onto the ground. I'm like, "Fucking come on, man."

    7. SS

      Yeah.

    8. JR

      "How are you doing this?" 'Cause someone won't comply. Like, the position of being a person that gets that ki- that has that kind of power over people, where p- people have to comply to you, is just psychologically-

    9. SS

      Yeah.

    10. JR

      ... fraught with peril. You know? Whether it's Black people or... There's a lot of it doing with white people. There's a, there's a horrible video on my friend Joe Schilling's page. Um, Joe, you know, Joe Schilling the kickboxer? He's got a, a page on his Instagram he's been putting post after post is police brutality shit.

    11. BJ

      Yeah.

    12. JR

      Post after post.

    13. BJ

      Yeah.

    14. JR

      It's like, "Is this to serve or protect?"

    15. BJ

      Yeah.

    16. JR

      And it's just this old man, and the guy has a cane-

    17. BJ

      No, I don't think...

    18. Uh-huh.

    19. JR

      ... and the cops are slamming into him with their shield, and he goes flying and falls and hits his head on a bike rack.

    20. SS

      Mm-hmm.

    21. JR

      It's fucking horrible.

    22. BJ

      It's horrible.

    23. JR

      All the... I mean, there's some- That is, that has been going on.

    24. BJ

      Yeah.

    25. SS

      Yeah.

    26. JR

      It's been going on in the Black community clearly. We have a, a shitload of evidence. It's been going on with all kinds of people.

    27. BJ

      Yeah.

    28. JR

      It's, it's an overall problem.

    29. BJ

      Mm-hmm.

    30. JR

      There's a, there's a racism component to it-

  4. 45:001:00:00

    Hmm. …

    1. JR

      being fascinated with Native American history, uh, from a book somebody recommended to me called Empire of the Summer Moon about the Comanche.

    2. SS

      Hmm.

    3. JR

      And, uh, it... It's really, like, why Texas is the way Texas is. Texas is the way Texas is mostly because they fought off the fucking Comanches.

    4. SS

      'Cause of the conflict with the Comanches.

    5. BJ

      Wow.

    6. JR

      Yeah, the people that had to g-... Mexico was so sneaky. Mexico was, uh, telling white people to move to Texas. They're like, "Yeah, my friend, it's a good place." They- they- they- (laughs) they tricked these people into moving into Texas because it was a buffer between them and the Comanche. They wanted a bu-... The Comanche were the fucking wildest, most ruthless band of Indians and the most successful, uh, out of all the West. It took hundreds of years to conquer them. They're the reason why people didn't make it all the way to California sooner. The- the... When they would go through the plains, the Comanches would fuck them up.

    7. BJ

      That's crazy.

    8. JR

      It... It... The fucking... That book is fascinating.

    9. BJ

      Yeah, it's on my list.

    10. JR

      It changed my, changed my perspective of what happened in the West.

    11. BJ

      Yeah.

    12. JR

      Like, you realize that there was some people that came over here from somewhere in the neighborhood of between 11,000 and 5,000 BC. They made it across the Bering Land Bridge from Asia into America. They were basically the same kinda people that lived in Siberia, and they were Stone Age when they got here. They weren't even on horseback and they lived that way for thousands and thousands and thousands of years exactly the same way. And it wasn't until the 1600s that they started riding horses.

    13. BJ

      Wow.

    14. JR

      And then they started dominating motherfuckers.

    15. BJ

      Wow.

    16. JR

      It was like this giant shift in who they were. Before, they were, like, really unsuccessful in war. They had no history.

    17. BJ

      Mm-hmm.

    18. JR

      They had no songs. They had no stories and very little artwork. All they did is, like, eat rats and squirrels and whatever they could kill and barely scratched by and stayed alive. But they figured out how to ride horses first. They figured out how to control horses better.

    19. SS

      Yeah. When they did misbehaved-

    20. JR

      And they figured out how to steal other people's hor- horses because they... Life was so hard. They were so, so scratch and claw that they were ruthless. So once they got horses, they were just these wild little str- scrappy motherfuckers who would run, run these horses around and kill everybody.

    21. BJ

      Oh, my God.

    22. JR

      And they figured out how to shoot off horses, and the white people didn't know how to do that yet. The white people would get off the horses and go, "Hmm."

    23. BJ

      Yeah. "Let's line up." Wait, wait, wait, wait. We gotta get up. You have to... You stand there and then on three."

    24. They were getting into... They were shooting, like, an arrow a second. They were like ping, ping, ping running on the horses-

    25. (laughs)

    26. Fucking these dudes up until no one... Until they figured out how to make a revolver, until they figured out a way a gun that shoots more than once, 'cause those muskets weren't cutting it.

    27. Right.

    28. JR

      And, like, they just kept getting fucked up. That's Texas.

    29. BJ

      When- when was the revolver birthed?

    30. JR

      It was all during that time.

  5. 1:00:001:05:30

    Oh, is it all…

    1. JR

      Oh, is it all right?

    2. But like-

    3. All right.

    4. We were playing pool earlier. Joe schooled us. He put on the glove, for the record. He wore the glove.

    5. See something... Hold, hold the book.

    6. (laughs)

    7. Like a b-... A guy who reads books.

    8. Yeah. That's...

    9. (laughs)

    10. That's... Then you could open it.

    11. James Lindsay, he's gonna be on the podcast saying-

    12. Hold on while I hold this blade. (laughs)

    13. (laughs)

    14. ... cynical theories.

    15. Stupid. (laughs)

    16. This is, uh...

    17. Seth, Joe's doing a book thing.

    18. This is how you hold a book.

    19. Let him do the book thing.

    20. (laughs)

    21. This is a... But if I'm holding the book like this...

    22. It was upside down too.

    23. (laughs)

    24. (laughs) It's like... Have you ever done-

    25. That's it. That's it. (laughs) Can we... Can someone... Okay.

    26. This is a... This is like I have definitely not re-read this book post.

    27. We gotta make a poster out of that one. Book plays. (laughs)

    28. (laughs)

    29. (laughs)

    30. Definitely haven't read the book.
