EVERY SPOKEN WORD

  1. 0:0015:00

    Yeehaw, Bob Saget. How…

    1. JR

      Yeehaw, Bob Saget. How are you, buddy?

    2. BS

      I am happy ... I am actually excited to be- I'm excited to be anywhere-

    3. JR

      (laughs)

    4. BS

      ... but I'm especially excited to be talking to you.

    5. JR

      I'm excited to be talking to you too.

    6. BS

      Thank you.

    7. JR

      And we tested you. You're clean, buddy.

    8. BS

      I am.

    9. JR

      You're free and clear of-

    10. BS

      I-

    11. JR

      ... the virus.

    12. BS

      ... I did ... I, uh, usually have like a ... A ... Trump had someone take his SAT, I usually have someone take my-

    13. JR

      (laughs)

    14. BS

      ... COVID test for me.

    15. JR

      Did Trump have someone take his SATs?

    16. BS

      Yeah.

    17. JR

      Is that true?

    18. BS

      Yeah, it's true. Apparently.

    19. JR

      How could you do that?

    20. BS

      But I don't know what's, what's true.

    21. JR

      Right.

    22. BS

      What the hell is true anymore?

    23. JR

      Well, anything before the internet is hard and even during the internet it's hard, because they splice things up and edit stuff.

    24. BS

      Oh, it's all soundbites. You could, you could hate anybody or love anybody.

    25. JR

      I know. It's ... You know what's weird, man? Is, um, when ... The, the deep fake stuff. Like, how long do we have before you don't know what you're seeing?

    26. BS

      Right.

    27. JR

      How long before ... Do, do we have before, you know, we see, like, a, a world leader declaring war on us and we don't know if it's real?

    28. BS

      Yeah. Correct.

    29. JR

      How long?

    30. BS

      I, I say now.

  2. 15:0030:00

    Yeah. Or to get…

    1. BS

      people looking at them on whatever site you look at, and then someone who has 5,000 people, who has a YouTube pa- page that people go to. But it's just to start... Everybody goes to the news source they want that validates what their opinion is.

    2. JR

      Yeah. Or to get angry. My tune into Fox News just to get angry. Or tune into CNN to get angry if you're on the other side. It's, uh, it's a weird time, man.

    3. BS

      But it's gotta come together. I know that's what you, you try to do that. I, I know that that's what... I mean, standup is the root of that in a way.

    4. JR

      Yeah, because you can make fun of ideas that maybe even someone agrees with the idea, but if you mock that idea and it's so funny it gets them to laugh, they have to think about it. You know? Like if you s- like say if you're a pro-

    5. BS

      How beautiful is that though?

    6. JR

      It's amazing.

    7. BS

      To be able to do that-

    8. JR

      Yeah.

    9. BS

      ... and how bad you wanna do it right now.

    10. JR

      Oh yeah, I would love to do it right now.

    11. BS

      I need to do it. (sighs) Um-

    12. JR

      I had this bit about Trump and I had this guy come up to me, he goes, he goes, "I'll tell you why that joke's good." He goes, uh, "I fucking love Trump and that joke was hilarious." Like, when you can say, when you can make fun of something that someone loves and they still think it's funny.

    13. BS

      Right.

    14. JR

      Yeah. Then they ha- they have to think.

    15. BS

      There's a skill to that. And I try to do that too. I try to r-... It's impossible to come up with something that pleases every s- side and every perspective, but I'm trying. But that's why I end up talking about my dick so much.

    16. JR

      (laughs)

    17. BS

      Because it does-

    18. JR

      It's a pleaser.

    19. BS

      It does lean left. (laughs)

    20. JR

      And it's a pleaser.

    21. BS

      (laughs) It is a pleaser. (laughs) It's... (laughs)

    22. JR

      (laughs)

    23. BS

      I d- (laughs) I might have to say that again sometime. (laughs)

    24. JR

      It's a pleaser.

    25. BS

      It is.

    26. JR

      You should have a T-shirt. You should sell T-shirts on your website.

    27. BS

      (laughs)

    28. JR

      It's a pleaser.

    29. BS

      (laughs) You just got me some merch ideas.

    30. JR

      That's a good merch idea right there. Yeah. It's, it's impossible to make everybody happy. You... 'Cause here's one thing, everybody doesn't wanna be happy. There's a lot of people that they love being miserable. They like being angry. And-

  3. 30:0045:00

    Yep. …

    1. JR

      but so is the OR at the Comedy Store.

    2. BS

      Yep.

    3. JR

      That's great too. I'm fine with that. I don't... I honestly, I just like doing standup. If we can never do arenas again, if no one ever, no rock bands, no UFC ever does an arena again, no football games are ever in a sold out arena. Okay. I don't-

    4. BS

      But you can't do UFC in, in the OR.

    5. JR

      Well, they're doing UFC with no crowd.

    6. BS

      That's true.

    7. JR

      And it's amazing. I love it. I've, I've called, uh, two, yeah, two fights now with no audience, and it's g- I, I enjoy it, man. It's great.... I st- I'm just happy that the fights are happening. And, like, when I did, uh, I did shows in Houston a couple weeks ago.

    8. BS

      Yeah. I was talking to-

    9. JR

      Yeah.

    10. BS

      ... Wanted to talk to you about that, so.

    11. JR

      Yeah, me, Tony Hinchcliffe, and Brian Moses. We, uh, we did the Houston Improv. We had a great time. First of all-

    12. BS

      It's a great room.

    13. JR

      ... it was... It's a great room and-

    14. BS

      I was supposed to go there. I had to, I had to not 'cause of what's going on now.

    15. JR

      Yeah. Um-

    16. BS

      But you went in. I, I was like, "Wow, you brave-"

    17. JR

      Well, just-

    18. BS

      "... brave motherfucker."

    19. JR

      ... fucking we wanted to. We just wanted to, you know. First of all, I missed, I miss doing shows, but I miss hanging out with comics on the road.

    20. BS

      Yeah.

    21. JR

      It's fun, you know, and-

    22. BS

      My buddy, Mike Young, I, uh... We always tw-

    23. JR

      Sure, I know Mike.

    24. BS

      ... toured together, and it's like, um, with my brother, you know?

    25. JR

      Yes, it's fun. You, you and... You know, and that's, that's the big thing is, like, touring on the road with people you love, it's the best 'cause, like, Moses is the best. I love him.

    26. BS

      I don't know him.

    27. JR

      And I, and I love Tony. He hosts Roast Battle.

    28. BS

      Oh, I know.

    29. JR

      He's great. And, and Tony's-

    30. BS

      And I love Tony.

  4. 45:001:00:00

    Wants to be the…

    1. JR

      But to, to me, like, like if I'm around Jeff Ross and something like that happens, I expect that he's gonna turn to me and say something fucked up-

    2. BS

      Wants to be the first person to say it.

    3. JR

      (laughs) Of course.

    4. BS

      And I go, "Jeff, no."

    5. JR

      Yes.

    6. BS

      But I... I'm, I'm saying no with love.

    7. JR

      Yes, of course. (laughs) Of course.

    8. BS

      Kenison, I actually, uh... I'm gonna date myself 'cause I don't have to now 'cause I'm married. That's the kinda jokes I shouldn't do.

    9. JR

      Wah, wah, wah.

    10. BS

      No, that's the ones I... But I know as I'm saying them, but I still say 'em.

    11. JR

      Can't help it.

    12. BS

      It's a dad joke thing.

    13. JR

      Yeah.

    14. BS

      Bill Burr said to me, he was a guest on my, my, my, my nubile podcast, and Bill said to me, uh, "You know what your act is, Saget?" He said, "Your act is all the lines you couldn't say on Full House and you just say 'fuck' all around it."

    15. JR

      (laughs)

    16. BS

      "That's what your act is." And I went, "What? What are you saying?" And then he pummeled me for 20 minutes and I fucking loved it. And then I attacked him for, like, 10 minutes. But he a- (laughs) ... he's a... one of the best people.

    17. JR

      He's one of my favorite people on Earth.

    18. BS

      He's one of my favorite people on the Earth.

    19. JR

      Yeah.

    20. BS

      He went to my wedding.

    21. JR

      I just love to wind him up. (laughs)

    22. BS

      Oh, fuck. I was... I, I was... I had nine stories to start, but that's why this is... I'm so happy to be doing this. Thank you.

    23. JR

      My pleasure. Thank you.

    24. BS

      I, I haven't talked to anybody. (laughs)

    25. JR

      I know. You've been stuck, right?

    26. BS

      Well, I had a Zoom last night, uh, night before, with, uh, Norman Lear and a bunch of musician friends.

    27. JR

      Oh, wow.

    28. BS

      And we talk about the world and we talk about what the fuck are we gonna do. And, and it's just, uh, interesting. It's, it's a... And we used to... We would do it in person, we'd all sing songs for four or five hours into the night and have different friends show up. Stamos came, John Mayer came, Dave Koz always comes to it, and it'd be music. You, you play, right?

    29. JR

      No.

    30. BS

      I thought you were a musician.

  5. 1:00:001:07:23

    Oh, God. …

    1. BS

      um, Peter Boyle. And it's horrifically upsetting. And the way I- it's been told to me, I don't know if these stories whisper down the lane, is that...... he, they went back to the same place after a while. The guy came back and he had some other mishap. I, I don't wanna say he hit his head again, but he fell. (laughs) He was the same guy just trying to have a redo to get healed-

    2. JR

      Oh, God.

    3. BS

      ... when, I mean, I don't know what's more embarrassing. Well, if your head gets split open, but the whole room can see you've got a giant cock, maybe it's a blessing and a curse. I don't know.

    4. JR

      There's probably a few gals that hit him up after that.

    5. BS

      But drawstring pants means there's not a lot of cleanliness down in the junk.

    6. JR

      Well, you could wash them up.

    7. BS

      (laughs)

    8. JR

      If you're a gal looking for a big dick, like, there it is. You know?

    9. BS

      If, or a guy looking for a big dick.

    10. JR

      Or maybe a guy you can trick into fucking you. Yeah.

    11. BS

      That would be the, the move.

    12. JR

      Yeah. Because-

    13. BS

      Or some, you could play-

    14. JR

      ... not that bright.

    15. BS

      ... uh, like you do with a bat in baseball.

    16. JR

      Mm-hmm. Right, see who gets to bat.

    17. BS

      Just happens to that. (laughs) Uh, yeah-

    18. JR

      See who gets the first at-bat. (laughs)

    19. BS

      It's the top, it's that ... It's that ... Make that sound again. I can't do, I can't.

    20. JR

      I don't know.

    21. BS

      And I can't roll my Rs either.

    22. JR

      You can't?

    23. BS

      But then, the answer to Kenison, how quick he popped was, after that set, like a week later, Rodney came in to see him. And I'd known Rodney. Rodney liked me. "I like you, man." I met him at the s- in La Jolla. He came up to me. "You're funny, man. You're a Jew. You're never gonna be happy. You got a fast mind. You're all fucked up, man."

    24. JR

      (laughs)

    25. BS

      "You're never gonna be happy." And he was trying to clean up at La Costa and he comes in and he goes, "I, I can't do it, man. No booze, no coke, no pot, no pills. I can't do it."

    26. JR

      (gasps)

    27. BS

      And he's with two women.

    28. JR

      (laughs)

    29. BS

      And, uh ... (laughs)

    30. JR

      (laughs)
