EVERY SPOKEN WORD

  1. 0:0015:00

    Three, two, one. Hello,…

    1. JR

      Three, two, one. Hello, Nikki.

    2. NG

      (laughs) Hello, Joe Rogan.

    3. JR

      So, I saw your tweet. This is how this all came about.

    4. NG

      (laughs)

    5. JR

      And you said, uh, y- you were gonna shave your head in solidarity for a friend who has cancer.

    6. NG

      Yeah.

    7. JR

      And then you were like, "Actually, there was no friend."

    8. NG

      Yeah. (laughs)

    9. JR

      And I was like, "Oh, no."

    10. NG

      Yeah.

    11. JR

      Nikki's going crazy.

    12. NG

      (laughs) Yeah, I'm going off the fucking deep end-

    13. JR

      Well-

    14. NG

      ... is what I was, said, yes.

    15. JR

      ... the pro- I think we all are, and I try, I've been trying to, like, check in on everybody because all of us comedians have not had our medicine. You know?

    16. NG

      That's a good point.

    17. JR

      This is, like, we're junkies.

    18. NG

      Yeah.

    19. JR

      We're laugh junkies, we really are.

    20. NG

      Mm-hmm.

    21. JR

      You know? And I didn't realize how much, I mean, I knew I missed it, but I did one weekend in Houston, like a month or s- month or so ago.

    22. NG

      Mm-hmm.

    23. JR

      And then right, right away I was like, "Oh my God, I got my fix." Like, I'm-

    24. NG

      I know.

    25. JR

      ... and then, uh, you know, talking to all these people that are doing, like, Mark Norm's doing shows in a park.

    26. NG

      Yep.

    27. JR

      You know, Bert Kreischer's doing drive-ins, like-

    28. NG

      I'm doing them too.

    29. JR

      Are you?

    30. NG

      Yeah, I'm going out next weekend.

  2. 15:0030:00

    I think no. …

    1. JR

      aren't viable. They don't become a separate species. That's the thing about, like, donkeys. Like, a donkey ... Is it a d- which one's the ... Is it a mule has sex with a horse and that creates a donkey, or is it a m- a horse has sex with a donkey and that creates a mule? I think it's a mule has sex with a horse and creates a donkey. But donkeys are-

    2. NG

      I think no.

    3. JR

      ... sterile. They're sterile. Most hybrids are sterile. The difference between a donk- Okay, uh, donkeys are a different species than horse, same family. Mules, on the other hand, are a cross between a horse and a donkey. Okay, that's it. So it's a mule-

    4. NG

      Okay.

    5. JR

      ... is a cross between a horse and a donkey. But they're not ... They're sterile. They don't breed. So-

    6. NG

      So why even have a mule?

    7. JR

      Because-

    8. NG

      Why do we need it?

    9. JR

      Because they're better for riding.

    10. NG

      Okay.

    11. JR

      Um, they're, they're, they're more durable. Like in the Wild West, they liked to, uh, cross those two, and then people would ... Like a lot of the cowboys from the Wild West, like, uh, even some of the Texas rangers, they, they rolled o- they rode mules.

    12. NG

      Okay.

    13. JR

      Which ... So the donkey and the horse is what bred, that we just figured out?

    14. NG

      So they are viable to, to ride and to be a b- better transport, but-

    15. JR

      You, uh ... Hold, hold on a second. Which w- How does it ... Where ... Go back to where ... Which one is it again? The horse and d- Okay, horse and a donkey makes a mule. Yeah.

    16. NG

      Okay.

    17. JR

      So mules are more durable than horses. They require less water. They can last longer. Mules gets its athletic ability from a horse and its intelligence from a donkey. So mules were, were what a lot of these Wild West guys would prefer, actually.

    18. NG

      Okay.

    19. JR

      Uh, mules have smoother muscles than horses. Think of a football player's muscle build compared to that of a ballerina's. Both are very strong, but a mule has greater physical strength for its size and more endurance. A mule gets its athletic ability from its horse and intelligence from a donkey. Yeah.

    20. NG

      Well, let's just get rid of horses and donkeys. Mules sound like they're the best of both.

    21. JR

      Problem is you can only make a mule with a horse and a donkey.

    22. NG

      Oh, because mules can't have sex with each other.

    23. JR

      They can't breed, right. But we can, which is weird.

    24. NG

      We can have sex with mules?

    25. JR

      Yes. Well, no.

    26. NG

      Yeah.

    27. JR

      But we can have sex with each other.

    28. NG

      (laughs)

    29. JR

      Like, you know, we can have sex with people that don't look anything like us.

    30. NG

      Yes, and make something that can have sex.

  3. 30:0045:00

    Yeah. …

    1. NG

      had his nose exposed and I just am like, "Hey, can you... You pull it up over your nose. It's the only way it works." Like, do I really have to ... You haven't seen that meme yet?

    2. JR

      Yeah.

    3. NG

      With the guy with his dick out? Like, how has that not gotten to you that that's how-

    4. JR

      Yeah.

    5. NG

      ... you wear a mask?

    6. JR

      Yeah.

    7. NG

      People just ... It's, it's ... I don't know. I, I ... E- everyone I'm, I'm staying, uh, in Marina Del Rey, everyone walking outside is wearing a mask, which I think is a little much, just, like, walking down the sidewalk. We're-

    8. JR

      You don't need it when it's sunny out. They, they w-

    9. NG

      What?

    10. JR

      Yeah. The s- the disease, the virus dies instantly in, when it's exposed to sunlight.

    11. NG

      Okay. What? Why-

    12. JR

      Yeah.

    13. NG

      ... are ... Why don't we know that, Joe?

    14. JR

      I don't know, but, uh, Bret Weinstein, who's a biologist, sent me this paper where they showed that it dies instantly in ... when it's in ... or almost instantly when it's in contact with, uh, fake sunlight, like, uh, ultraviolet light-

    15. NG

      Okay.

    16. JR

      ... and also, also actual sunlight, so when you're in sunlight. Like, you're ... If you're outside, like, you're ... That's why the closing the beach is so fucking stupid. Like, it's sunny. Like, you're not at risk. As long as you're not, like-

    17. NG

      Right.

    18. JR

      ... in someone's face, you're not gonna get it.

    19. NG

      And did they see a spike after the protests?

    20. JR

      Yes.

    21. NG

      Uh, after all the-

    22. JR

      For sure.

    23. NG

      That was ... There was a spike-

    24. JR

      100%.

    25. NG

      ... after that.

    26. JR

      It has to be. It's a goddamn-

    27. NG

      But that wasn't the sunlight outside.

    28. JR

      What? Do, do they stop as soon as it turns dark out?

    29. NG

      No, that's true.

    30. JR

      Of course not.

  4. 45:001:00:00

    Oh. …

    1. NG

      I would really like to see you again. Like, I really liked hanging out with you. I'd love to take you out sometime." And I was like, "Hey, I just don't think I'm in a point in my life where I wanna be dating right now." And he goes, "Well, can we just meet up to get a picture?" (laughs)

    2. JR

      Oh.

    3. NG

      So, it happens.

    4. JR

      Ew.

    5. NG

      It happens a lot. It happens-

    6. JR

      (laughs) Can we meet up just to get a picture? (laughs)

    7. NG

      So now-

    8. JR

      I just wanna let everybody know I know you.

    9. NG

      Yeah.

    10. JR

      Ooh.

    11. NG

      Or, and then, and then this, what I see is him getting that picture and then going back to, like, show the girls that he really wants to bang that are, that are his age at some party, and he's like, "Oh, I got a picture with Nikki Glaser." And they're like, "We don't know who she is. What is she like?" "Ew, she's like 36." And then they all make fun of me and that's, like, the, that's the-

    12. JR

      Oh, no.

    13. NG

      ... thing I have in my head.

    14. JR

      Oh, no.

    15. NG

      And I watched her special, it wasn't even funny.

    16. JR

      (laughs)

    17. NG

      And I was like, that's, I just see them all making fun of me, and like, how pathetic that I am that I've, like, fucked a younger kid.

    18. JR

      (laughs)

    19. NG

      I go, I shouldn't say the word kid, but like-

    20. JR

      How old was he?

    21. NG

      I think he's like 25.

    22. JR

      That's not that bad.

    23. NG

      No, he can rent a car.

    24. JR

      For a guy that's standard. A 36-

    25. NG

      He's going to love that I'm talking about him, so I really wanna change the subject.

    26. JR

      Shit.

    27. NG

      Ugh.

    28. JR

      Ah!

    29. NG

      Isn't that the, that's the worst part, to talk about these people then they then, they're so exci-... I'm gonna get a text-

    30. JR

      (laughs)

  5. 1:00:001:03:55

    That is the thing.…

    1. NG

    2. JR

      That is the thing.

    3. NG

      I'm on, um ...

    4. JR

      Raya's a, an, a dating app-

    5. NG

      The celebrity dating app.

    6. JR

      ... for celebrities, right?

    7. NG

      Mm-hmm. I like a blue check mark, and it's not because I like guys that are famous because they're famous and I wanna be famous. It has nothing to d- maybe it has, like, a little bit to do with that. I'm not gonna say it has nothing to do with that. Yeah, the, there's something hot about a guy being extremely successful and other people thinking that he's cool. Okay, yes, I'll give you that. I think it's because I get, I can, I can know them before I go into the date.

    8. JR

      Right.

    9. NG

      I can watch their stuff. I, I feel like I'm already acquainted with them. That's why I like a blue check mark. It validate, it, like I can get to know you before I go on a date. I don't like going into these things blind. So that's-

    10. JR

      I get it.

    11. NG

      ... that's why I like a blue check. But there's no one in St. Louis that's on the goddamn app, and um-

    12. JR

      No one?

    13. NG

      No.

    14. JR

      Not one person?

    15. NG

      Um, n- really, honestly, no.

    16. JR

      Wow.

    17. NG

      There's no one in St. Louis on them.

    18. JR

      Where are they all, New York and LA?

    19. NG

      Yeah.... or, like, Stockholm. I mean, it's all over the globe. They, they, they're-

    20. JR

      Oh.

    21. NG

      ... uh, it's, it's global.

    22. JR

      Oh.

    23. NG

      And so I'm connecting with some guys on that. And, and when I come to t- ... And then I just always get so busy when I come here, I don't wanna go on a first date with someone. I just wanna hang out with my friends that I haven't seen in forever.

    24. JR

      Yeah, I've been, I've been into this book lately. It's called, uh, Irresistible. It's about, uh, addictions.

    25. NG

      I just downloaded it-

    26. JR

    27. NG
