EVERY SPOKEN WORD

  1. 0:0015:00

    Tim Dillon, fresh off…

    1. JR

      Tim Dillon, fresh off a COVID test. How you feeling, buddy? How's the nose?

    2. TD

      Feeling good. You know, when I go out with friends, uh, to restaurants in LA, they, you know, everybody gets the gun.

    3. JR

      Yeah.

    4. TD

      The temperature gun to your head. But you know what's fucked up? A lot of my friends, they don't do it, they do it to me. And I'm like, "I guess I'm the only one that looks sick." 'Cause they look at me and they go, "Get him, get him." And then I ask other people, I'm like, "Were you hit on the way in?" They're like, "No."

    5. JR

      What?

    6. TD

      So I'm like... Yeah, it's weird. It's, like, arbitrary the way they do it.

    7. JR

      They're supposed to get everybody.

    8. TD

      I know.

    9. JR

      Maybe they think, like, you're a little bit overweight-

    10. TD

      Yeah.

    11. JR

      ... and you could die.

    12. TD

      They're like, "We don't want him dying at BOA Steakhouse-"

    13. JR

      Mmm.

    14. TD

      "... in West Hollywood."

    15. JR

      Oh, you could eat outside of BOA.

    16. TD

      They don't want me falling on a TikToker.

    17. JR

      BOA's an outside place, you could-

    18. TD

      BOA's all outside, yeah.

    19. JR

      You could eat there.

    20. TD

      All outside.

    21. JR

      Oh.

    22. TD

      Yeah.

    23. JR

      Those- those outside places are, they're- they're doing good.

    24. TD

      They're jammed.

    25. JR

      But the fucking inside places are doomed.

    26. TD

      They are doomed and they will not reopen, many of them.

    27. JR

      A lot of them.

    28. TD

      Yeah.

    29. JR

      Yeah.

    30. TD

      It's a big problem.

  2. 15:0030:00

    Jesus. …

    1. JR

      uh, slowed down in front of his house, started screaming that he's a racist.

    2. TD

      Jesus.

    3. JR

      For nothing.

    4. TD

      Yes.

    5. JR

      Just because, because he said that Trump is persuasive.

    6. TD

      Right.

    7. JR

      And that he said that he thinks Trump is, uh, uh, essentially pulling people's strings and manipulating people in a really interesting way. And that-

    8. TD

      Yeah. And he is. I mean, like, uh, any president does that.

    9. JR

      Yeah.

    10. TD

      But Trump does it extremely well.

    11. JR

      Well, he does it in a non-presidential way.

    12. TD

      Right. Right.

    13. JR

      That's what's weird.

    14. TD

      Yeah.

    15. JR

      It's a weird way of doing it.

    16. TD

      He's a co-, I love con artists and grifters, and to me, Trump is the highest level, biggest con ever, most successful, you know, without a question. I mean, like, you know, he's the king of all of those. G-, every guy sitting in an office right now calling people up trying to sell them shit over the phone, that's the, Trump's the king.

    17. JR

      That's that guy. That's that guy.

    18. TD

      Trump's the highest level that you can, I mean, anybody, I mean, if you're using a fake ID-

    19. JR

      Yeah.

    20. TD

      ... to try to buy cigarettes, up the ladder, there's Donald Trump.

    21. JR

      (laughs)

    22. TD

      Like, all the way up the ladder. And that, to me, I think 'cause everyone's like, "He's evil," or, "He's Jesus." It's like, I don't, I don't look at things that emotionally 'cause I guess I'm just not a total loser. I think that's really what it is.

    23. JR

      Probably.

    24. TD

      I think if you're really f-, have nothing going on, everything becomes about politics. Which we don't, I'm never gonna meet Nancy Pel- I mean, this is a television show.

    25. JR

      Right.

    26. TD

      You know? I'm not saying that real things don't happen, that people aren't affected. But this day-to-day, like, you're inundated with like, "He said she said, Pelosi, Schumer."

    27. JR

      Yeah.

    28. TD

      It's like, dude, who cares?

    29. JR

      My favorite Pelosi and Schumer image-

    30. TD

      Yeah.

  3. 30:0045:00

    This is, this was…

    1. TD

    2. JR

      This is, this was all pre-COVID-

    3. TD

      Right.

    4. JR

      ... when this was funny.

    5. TD

      Right.

    6. JR

      You know?

    7. TD

      Right, right.

    8. JR

      'Cause pre-COVID this was funny. When it stopped being funny was, uh... How do you pronounce his last name? Guo? Andy Ngo. Andy Ngo.

    9. TD

      Yeah, yeah, yeah.

    10. JR

      When Andy Ngo got beat up and they milkshaked him-

    11. TD

      Right.

    12. JR

      ... and people were mocking. And I'm like, "Hey, wait, blah, blah, blah, blah." Why, why do you think it's okay to beat this guy up?

    13. TD

      Right.

    14. JR

      Like, why do you think it's okay to steal this guy's camera? Like, no one-

    15. TD

      Yeah. What is that?

    16. JR

      No one is saying this is wrong?

    17. TD

      No one c- Yeah.

    18. JR

      Then I started to say like, "Okay, this is, this is gonna be a real problem, because-"

    19. TD

      And then the economy got shut down and you could not-

    20. JR

      And, and-

    21. TD

      ... and you're like, "Oh, this will only make this bigger."

    22. JR

      Yeah, way bigger.

    23. TD

      And, yeah, "This will only fuel the fire of this," yeah.

    24. JR

      But again, it's like, these people who go there, whether they're trying to light the federal building on fire or direct traffic, they have a purpose now. They have a thing, and they have a cause.

    25. TD

      Right.

    26. JR

      Like when they took over that s- six sec- six block section of Portla- or Seattle rather.

    27. TD

      Yeah, CHAZ.

    28. JR

      When it was... CHAZ, yeah. Or what was it? Ch- Chow- What, what'd they call it again?

    29. TD

      CHAZ. It was CHAZ.

    30. JR

      Or CHOP.

  4. 45:001:00:00

    Understood- …

    1. JR

      act as like clouds-

    2. TD

      Understood-

    3. JR

      Yeah.

    4. TD

      ... but the reality is people get a little un-

    5. NA

      (laughs)

    6. TD

      They get a little uncomfortable when a billionaire from a lair is decided to start shooting dust into the atmosphere and, you know, where is... Where is d- Is there any democratic process here where anybody will ever have any say in anything ever again?

    7. JR

      I saw a meme-

    8. TD

      Or are we just gonna listen to Bezos and him do... And uh, they could do whatever they want?

    9. JR

      Well, it's hard to say because when you're that rich we listen anyway, because we figure-

    10. TD

      I know.

    11. JR

      ... Bezos has got $200 billion or something. He's, he's must know something that we don't know, we assume.

    12. TD

      Sure, but I mean-

    13. JR

      Assuming he's smarter than us.

    14. TD

      Who knows what... You know, also they have a lot of money, I don't even think they want more money, I think a lot of them just have-

    15. JR

      Oh, they want more money.

    16. TD

      Well some of them do but they also have... Uh, they just have designs on the way they want the world to look. They have an ideology.

    17. JR

      I trust Bezos more than I trust Bill, because Bezos doesn't wear a uniform. Bill Gates wears that Mi- Mr. Rogers uniform.

    18. TD

      Yeah.

    19. JR

      I don't trust it.

    20. TD

      I don't... I trust Warren Buffet-

    21. JR

      Yes.

    22. TD

      ... because I feel like he's in Omaha just eating eggs-

    23. JR

      He lives in the same fucking house that he bought in like 1980.

    24. TD

      That's a scam though.

    25. JR

      You think so?

    26. TD

      He does that, he does that so guys like us will be like, "What a down to earth guy." Like but he's-

    27. JR

      Right, $80 billion, lives in a $400,000 house.

    28. TD

      Something's wrong. That makes me more suspicious than I would be if he had a man- He should have a big mansion.

    29. JR

      Bill Gates, well that's not even his regular outfit. The regular outfit, that's the regular outfit.

    30. TD

      Yeah, he's a, he's a little bit of a creep.

  5. 1:00:001:03:08

    Yeah, well- …

    1. TD

      a lot of them care about.

    2. JR

      Yeah, well-

    3. TD

      They just want the end.

    4. JR

      They think it's coming. What's going on here? Give me something. Give me some of this. What is she saying?

    5. NA

      There are some of us that, yes, we gave our life to Christ, but we've been living in sin.

    6. TD

      Right.

    7. JR

      Oh, no.

    8. NA

      There are some of us that we did, you know, we believe that God exists, but we've never surrendered our all to him.

    9. JR

      It's not reasonable.

    10. NA

      Those of us that have known God-

    11. JR

      That's not reasonable.

    12. NA

      But because of the curse-

    13. JR

      Don't be afraid to give your all to Christ. That's all I'm saying.

    14. TD

      I'd feel comfortable if she walked into a, a wait- a hospital waiting room and started treating me.

    15. JR

      (laughs)

    16. TD

      I'd feel very comfortable. And then she brought that guy out.

    17. JR

      (laughs)

    18. TD

      And she goes, "Now meet my, uh, nurse. This is my head nurse."

    19. JR

      You know what is interesting though? Is this po- the politicalization. Is that a word?

    20. TD

      Oh, this is... She's rocking out right now.

    21. NA

      Are you following me like in the day?

    22. JR

      That's exactly like de Blasio's wife.

    23. TD

      That was what- That's de Blasio's wife trying to get, trying to get a response from people in Central Park.

    24. JR

      Power to the people.

    25. TD

      Nothing. Yeah.

    26. JR

      Yeah. Yeah. You gotta wonder.

    27. TD

      It's a real nightmare out there.

    28. JR

      It's weird.

    29. TD

      Yeah, it's really weird.

    30. JR

      If we can stay alive, it's awesome though. As long as nobody you love dies in this-
