    Honey Honey reunites during COVID and mends a long feud

    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. 1:553:00

    Inside jokes, earthquakes, and the ‘bam’ vs ‘titties’ debate

    1. JR

      By the way, shout out to-

    2. SS

      ... it wasn't good.

    3. BJ

      It wasn't good. (laughs)

    4. JR

      ... Balls of Steel from the old Rogan board.

    5. SS

      Right.

    6. BJ

      Balls of Steel! (laughs)

    7. JR

      Brought us all together.

    8. SS

      Oh my God.

    9. BJ

      (laughs)

    10. SS

      Lives in infamy.

    11. JR

      That's an ins- that's an inside story, huh?

    12. BJ

      God, how long... It's been a while now.

    13. SS

      He still hasn't revealed himself.

    14. JR

      Yeah.

    15. SS

      What if it was us the whole time, Joe?

    16. JR

      Whoever that dude is, it was us the whole time.

    17. BJ

      (laughs) I-

    18. JR

      But you were right, you had to be talented.

    19. SS

      (laughs)

    20. JR

      The, the video he sent was you guys doing Angel of Death acoustic on the roof of a building in LA.

    21. SS

      Mm-hmm.

    22. BJ

      So crazy. We were just-

    23. JR

      That, that building is right now on fire.

    24. BJ

      They were so... Probably. Jesus Christ. (laughs)

    25. SS

      (laughs) Rightfully so.

    26. BJ

      Oh my God. Goddammit. Yeah, when we were practicing last night there was an earthquake.

    27. JR

      Oh, Jesus.

    28. BJ

      And I was just, like, watching, like, my living room kinda. And I looked at Ben, I was like, "Fuck! No! What?"

    29. JR

      That's God-

    30. SS

      Yeah, well, if acute laryngitis doesn't stop, an earthquake doesn't stop.

  3. 3:005:14

    Do we need a slur for white people? Names, gender, and teasing Jamie

    1. JR

      And, and, and he invented all the... It's... I really... We need to find a good one for white people, you know?

    2. BJ

      Yeah.

    3. JR

      We really need to balance this out.

    4. BJ

      Yeah.

    5. JR

      A good-

    6. SS

      Mm.

    7. JR

      A good, juicy slur from-

    8. SS

      There's not a-

    9. BJ

      Chads.

    10. SS

      There's not a solid one.

    11. BJ

      Chads.

    12. JR

      (laughs) It's not... It's Karens.

    13. BJ

      Brocks.

    14. JR

      Karen is one.

    15. SS

      Yeah.

    16. BJ

      Yeah, what's the white, what's the white one? Brock? Chad?

    17. JR

      Rock? Chad. It's just Chads.

    18. BJ

      Bradleys?

    19. SS

      Chad's, I think it's Chads.

    20. BJ

      I think Bradley feels fitting.

    21. JR

      Sure. Yeah.

    22. SS

      A lot of poor Bradleys out there they can suffer from that.

    23. JR

      But there's a lot of good Bradleys. Like, what's that Bradley? The actor? Bradley Cooper?

    24. BJ

      Oh, yeah.

    25. JR

      That guy's badass.

    26. SS

      Yeah.

    27. BJ

      Yeah, he's great.

    28. JR

      He's a really good actor.

    29. BJ

      Super great.

    30. JR

      So it can't be a-

  4. 5:148:09

    Kids, legacy pressure, and choosing a meaningful life without parenting

    1. JR

      Well, then don't have kids.

    2. SS

      There, she said it.

    3. BJ

      (laughs) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Cool, cool, cool, cool.

    4. JR

      The one thing that those kid j- zealots like to do is they like to pretend that everybody needs to have kids in order to be-

    5. BJ

      Mm.

    6. JR

      ... valuable in this life, you need to have kids. That's a-

    7. BJ

      Interesting.

    8. JR

      ... lot of fucking pressure on people.

    9. BJ

      Is that a thing?

    10. JR

      Sure. It's... You know what it is?

    11. SS

      Huh?

    12. JR

      When someone's doing something, they think you should be doing it.

    13. BJ

      Right.

    14. JR

      Right? Like, you talk to someone who just started meditating and they can't sh-... That's me, I can never-

    15. BJ

      Yeah, yeah.

    16. JR

      ... shut the fuck up about what I like doing.

    17. BJ

      Yeah, yeah.

    18. JR

      I'm always trying to get people to do things.

    19. BJ

      Yeah.

    20. JR

      You know?

    21. BJ

      Yeah.

    22. JR

      But that's the thing with people with kids. They're, "Dude, you gotta have a fucking kid."

    23. BJ

      Yeah.

    24. JR

      "You gotta have a fucking kid. Trust me. You gotta have a fucking-"

    25. BJ

      No. I don't-

    26. JR

      "What is your life? What are you doing? You're not gonna have children?"

    27. SS

      (laughs)

    28. BJ

      Yeah.

    29. JR

      "You're not gonna procreate? Your name's not gonna carry on?" Like-

    30. BJ

      (laughs)

  5. 8:098:39

    Age shaming and why people attack others when they feel insecure

    1. BJ

      Somebody age shamed me once and was like, "You're almost 40, blah, blah, blah." And I was like, "What's wrong with 40?"

    2. JR

      Was this online?

    3. BJ

      No. (laughs)

    4. JR

      That sounds like a YouTube comment.

    5. SS

      (laughs)

    6. BJ

      Unfortunately, no.

    7. JR

      That was in real life someone said that?

    8. BJ

      Yeah.

    9. SS

      Yeah.

    10. JR

      A, a guy you know?

    11. BJ

      Yeah, let's go.

    12. JR

      Oh, rude.

    13. BJ

      (laughs)

    14. SS

      (laughs)

    15. JR

      How weak.

    16. BJ

      Huh?

    17. JR

      But I mean, again, why would someone do that? They're trying to make you feel bad 'cause they don't feel good. That's what it is. It's always-

    18. BJ

      Yeah.

    19. JR

      ... the case. It's no one who feels great, is on top of the world. Dalai Lama's out there ... Not out there leaving shitty YouTube comments.

    20. BJ

      Mm.

    21. JR

      You know?

    22. BJ

      What if he was, though? (laughs)

    23. JR

      Imagine if he was.

    24. BJ

      Secretly like ... (typing sounds)

  6. 8:3911:36

    Dalai Lama ‘cancellation,’ celibacy, and being chosen as a child

    1. JR

      Did you ever see the video of ... He does ... He got-

    2. SS

      Oh, let's see it. (laughs)

    3. JR

      I don't know if you know this, but he got canceled for a little while.

    4. BJ

      No.

    5. SS

      What did he do?

    6. JR

      Yeah, the Dalai Lama got canceled.

    7. BJ

      Wait.

    8. JR

      Yes, yes, yes.

    9. SS

      I bet he dealt with it fine.

    10. JR

      He did this v- and we actu- he was actually talking about this exact same subject. He did this interview where they said, uh, "You know, you've been ... You're celibate, and have you ever thought about being married or having children?" He goes, "Oh, I've seen a lot of marriages. Uh, much worry, much cancer." And he goes, "Plus, uh, when they break up, uh, woman get all the money." (laughs)

    11. SS

      (laughs)

    12. BJ

      (laughs)

    13. JR

      He's, like, joking around. And, and, uh, and the lady's like, "What the fuck? This is the Dalai Lama."

    14. BJ

      Oh, no. (laughs)

    15. SS

      Oh, boy.

    16. JR

      And, and then she goes ... She actually tries to social justice her way out of it 'cause, you know, she's o- ... She gotta confront him. She goes, "Actually, sometimes the woman makes her own money."

    17. BJ

      Oh, shit.

    18. JR

      And he's like, "Oh, good one."

    19. SS

      (laughs)

    20. JR

      Like, he just goes like ... (laughs)

    21. SS

      Oh, no.

    22. JR

      "Yeah, sometimes." (laughs)

    23. BJ

      Oh, no.

    24. SS

      Oh, no.

    25. BJ

      And so they just put him in time out for a minute. (laughs)

    26. JR

      People were saying like, "Should we cancel the Dalai Lama?" It was really funny. It was really funny.

    27. BJ

      (laughs)

    28. JR

      He's like, "I see people-"

    29. SS

      You can cancel him if it needs to happen.

    30. JR

      He goes, uh, "Then I see him, like, a couple years later, new person, new girlfriend, much worry, much cancer."

  7. 11:3616:16

    Zoolander to modeling: beauty as a lottery and the industry’s damage

    1. JR

      It was a consciousness stream. You know what I watched last night that I haven't seen? Really in-

    2. SS

      Which one?

    3. JR

      I don't think I ever saw it through. It was Zoolander.

    4. SS

      Mm.

    5. BJ

      Oh, it's so good.

    6. JR

      Hilarious.

    7. BJ

      It's so good.

    8. JR

      So ridiculous.

    9. SS

      Who am I?

    10. JR

      It's so ridiculous.

    11. BJ

      (laughs)

    12. SS

      (laughs)

    13. JR

      What a great idea to have a, a, like, a super vapid beautiful man.

    14. BJ

      Oh, it's so good.

    15. SS

      (laughs)

    16. JR

      (laughs) In one of those really slapsticky silly comedies.

    17. BJ

      There's so much truth to it, though. That's the sad part.

    18. JR

      It was great.

    19. SS

      I enjoyed the shit out of it.

    20. BJ

      It's like there's a ... Yeah.

    21. SS

      You, you knew male models when you were doing male modeling stuff, right?

    22. BJ

      I did.

    23. JR

      You were doing male modeling?

    24. SS

      You were doing male modeling, right?

    25. BJ

      (laughs) Back, back in my-

    26. SS

      Did that come out wrong?

    27. JR

      Right.

    28. BJ

      ... formative, formative years when I was a male model.

    29. SS

      (laughs)

    30. BJ

      News grenade. Uh-

  8. 16:1623:01

    The Troubadour memories, John Prine admiration, and a live cover on the spot

    1. BJ

      You know he was sitting next to us at the Sturgill concert?

    2. JR

      Oh yeah, yeah. He was right over there.

    3. BJ

      He was on the-

    4. JR

      Yeah.

    5. BJ

      He was on one side and then Johnny Burnthal, the Punisher, was on the other.

    6. JR

      Yeah.

    7. BJ

      And it was like one of the best days of my life. (laughs)

    8. JR

      (laughs) Well, it was cool.

    9. BJ

      I- (laughs)

    10. JR

      I enjoyed that very much.

    11. BJ

      (laughs)

    12. JR

      I don't get to see concerts like that.

    13. BJ

      It was so great.

    14. JR

      And, you know, and to go and see it with you-

    15. SS

      Was that at The Forum?

    16. JR

      ... that was really fun. We had fun.

    17. BJ

      It was, it was a blast.

    18. JR

      We had dinner together.

    19. BJ

      Yeah. It was cool.

    20. SS

      Where was, where was the show?

    21. BJ

      It was at The Troubadour.

    22. JR

      The show was at The Troubadour.

    23. SS

      The Troubadour? Holy shit.

    24. BJ

      Yeah.

    25. JR

      Dude, it was awesome.

    26. SS

      Wow.

    27. JR

      And it was the Fire and Fury, this new, new shit-

    28. SS

      Did they show him in the video?

    29. JR

      ... that he's doing. Yeah. But he's also doing a lot of stuff from his old, his old catalog too, so it was just... It was awesome, and it was real intimate. Like, what is that, 400 people or something?

    30. BJ

      Five.

  9. 23:0129:27

    Performing ‘Big Man’ dedicated to George Floyd

    1. SS

      Humble man. Um, you wanna do Big Man? Since we're, like-

    2. JR

      Yeah, let's do it.

    3. SS

      ... here.

    4. JR

      Do it.

    5. SS

      I might need-

    6. Okay.

    7. JR

      ... a tune up, though, 'cause it's chilly in here.

    8. BJ

      (guitar strumming)

    9. JR

      Is it chilly in here? Do you want to-

    10. SS

      No, no, no from the fiddle point.

    11. BJ

      (violin strumming)

    12. SS

      It's not bad.

    13. Let me tune that, and this isn't live?

    14. JR

      No.

    15. SS

      Right, okay.

    16. JR

      But we're not editing it.

    17. SS

      Right.

    18. (laughs) Fuck.

    19. Okay, okay, okay.

    20. Well, shit. (laughs)

    21. JR

      Isn't that crazy that you know how, whether it's warm or cold based on the strings, based on you running that thing acro- What is that thing called? The wand.

    22. SS

      It's a wand. (laughs)

    23. BJ

      (laughs)

    24. SS

      That's so much better than what it's called.

    25. JR

      What is it called?

    26. SS

      It's... It's called a wand.

    27. No. (laughs)

    28. It's, it's a bow.

    29. It's called a bow.

    30. JR

      Is it really?

  10. 29:2737:13

    Police brutality, PTSD, and reform: cleaning house and treating trauma

    1. JR

      I think, uh, ultimately, society needed this. That they need, didn't need that guy to die, but they needed this event to snap out of whatever, whatever bullshit relationship, particularly the Black community has with police. And the videos that have come out since of, of police officers doing shit while this is all going on, during this... Like, it's like they have a, they have a, a pattern, some of these cops. They can't break out of it. They're, they're used-

    2. BJ

      Yeah.

    3. JR

      ... to treating people like shit.

    4. BJ

      Yeah.

    5. JR

      They're used to violently assaulting people.

    6. BJ

      Yeah.

    7. SS

      Yes, they direct it.

    8. JR

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

    9. BJ

      Oh, God. I know it's-

    10. 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."

    11. SS

      Yeah.

    12. 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-

    13. SS

      Yeah.

    14. 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.

    15. BJ

      Yeah.

    16. JR

      Post after post.

    17. BJ

      Yeah.

    18. JR

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

    19. BJ

      Yeah.

    20. JR

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

    21. BJ

      No, I don't think...

    22. Uh-huh.

    23. 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.

    24. SS

      Mm-hmm.

    25. JR

      It's fucking horrible.

    26. BJ

      It's horrible.

    27. JR

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

    28. BJ

      Yeah.

    29. SS

      Yeah.

    30. 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.

    Historical echoes: redlining, Confederacy ideology, and Native American exploitation

    1. JR

      ... another thing that came out of this whole COVID thing, and then with this coming afterwards, it's like-... when, when you're dealing with perpetually, perpetually crime-ridden neighborhoods, like if them, they've had crime in them forever, and, uh, a lot of these neighborhoods are African American neighborhoods that have had crime. Like, whether it's the South Side of Chicago or, uh, outside of Baltimore, like, when you see how the government can spend so much money bailing out corporations that are fucked-

    2. BJ

      Right.

    3. JR

      ... but they don't bail out cities that are fucked-

    4. BJ

      Yeah.

    5. JR

      Like, you know ... Hold on, you knew Baltimore was fucked.

    6. SS

      (laughs)

    7. JR

      Like, no one had any questions whether parts of Baltimore were just fucked. In fact, there was laws that used to redline. You weren't allowed to buy a house-

    8. BJ

      Mm-hmm.

    9. JR

      ... in certain areas if you were an African American. So, we know that.

    10. BJ

      Yeah.

    11. JR

      So, how come you bail out corporations, as you never bailed out these inner cities? It would've cost a fraction-

    12. SS

      (laughs) .

    13. JR

      ... to set up community centers, build more be- bet- much better affordable housing. You, you w-

    14. SS

      Because leadership is too short-sighted for that. And that, that's-

    15. JR

      But-

    16. SS

      ... like a spiritual deficit.

    17. JR

      But what's crazy is they all want to pretend that they're pro-American. If you were pro-American, you would want less losers. You would li- want more people-

    18. SS

      Sure.

    19. JR

      ... that have an opportunity to get out of bad circumstances. And whatever those bad circumstances are, you'd wanna keep people safe.

    20. SS

      Mm-hmm.

    21. JR

      You'd wanna ... Even if we ... You, you're always gonna run into bad circumstances with people that have drug addictions or people ... You're not gonna cure all that. That's a human issue. Humans are crazy. You're not gonna stop broken families and all that stuff. That's just a part of being a person, but you can-

    22. BJ

      Right.

    23. JR

      ... do a way better job of protecting people from crime, a way better job-

    24. BJ

      Sure. Well-

    25. JR

      ... of insulating them from-

    26. BJ

      You-

    27. JR

      ... drug deals and all that crazy shit.

    28. SS

      Sure.

    29. BJ

      Mm-hmm.

    30. SS

      Or shielding them or, or integrating people in a healthier way into an economic system that addresses their needs.

    Power, propaganda, and 2020 absurdity: Trump’s Bible photo-op and media trust

    1. SS

      What about the thing with the drinking-

    2. JR

      Yes.

    3. SS

      ... uh, you know, bleach or whatever, people did that-

    4. JR

      Oh.

    5. SS

      ... and was like, "Oh, no-"

    6. BJ

      No.

    7. JR

      "No, no, they didn't."

    8. BJ

      Did they, though?

    9. SS

      "No, no, no, no, they didn't. They didn't."

    10. JR

      Two morons drank the wrong form of hydroxychloroquine that is actually a pond cleaner. It's for fucking koi ponds. These dipshits had it in their garage and they're like, "This is it. This is chloroquine." And-

    11. BJ

      Did they die?

    12. JR

      One guy died. And th- there's a problem.

    13. SS

      (laughs)

    14. JR

      And this is the conspiracy theory-

    15. BJ

      Well, the guy looks crazy. Sorry. (laughs)

    16. JR

      ... put your tinfoil hat on.

    17. BJ

      That's not funny. (laughs)

    18. JR

      They were... Here's the problem.

    19. SS

      Wow, he's crushing it.

    20. JR

      They were uh, they were big time Democrats. That's why it doesn't make sense. And the, they were, one of them was a Democrat, uh, candidate contributor, I believe. Make sure that's right, I don't wanna get sued.

    21. SS

      (laughs)

    22. JR

      But, uh, and people are like, "Wait, you guys are just..." You know, "You're not supposed to do that." Like, "Did you just think you had, magically had this stuff laying around?"

    23. BJ

      Yeah, how dumb-

    24. SS

      Well, but I wasn't talking about the hydroxy...

    25. JR

      The problem is it's just, it's a random thing where it sounds the same and it's real... It's hydroxychloroquine versus some other kind of chloroquine.

    26. SS

      Yes.

    27. BJ

      You sure there wasn't some, like, agenda here? That just seems like ho... I'm sorry. I, I, I don't wanna-

    28. SS

      I'm getting confused then.

    29. JR

      It could be.

    30. BJ

      I don't wanna disrespect the, uh, the dead/almost dead, like-
