    5. SS

      (laughs)

    6. JR

      We're live, we're rolling now.

    7. NA

    8. JR

      Don't, don't clam up.

    9. NA

      I know.

    10. JR

    12. JR

      Yes.

    13. SS

      Yeah.

    14. JR

      Because it was very, very ... And I stopped you, because it was too good.

    15. SS

      Hmm.

    16. JR

      It was like, it was very interesting.

    17. SS

      Well-

    18. JR

      You, you were saying that y- you did it once, and you, you were in a bathtub-

    19. SS

      Mm-hmm.

    20. JR

      ... and it was interesting, but then you did it ... Uh, where were you the second time you did it?

    21. SS

      So the first time I did it, I was with, uh, three other people and we like, you know, it was celebrating someone's birthday. And all my friends are like pretty spiritual in that way, like meditative and-

    22. JR

      Annoying. (laughs)

    23. SS

      No, you know ... No it's good stuff.

    24. JR

      (laughs)

    25. SS

      I love it. I, they-

    26. JR

      I'm kidding.

    27. SS

      I know, it can be annoying, I agree. That shit can be really fucking-

    28. JR

      With the wrong people.

    29. SS

      ... 100%.

    30. JR

      When it's inauthentic, it's super annoying.

  2. 15:0030:00

    (laughs) …

    1. GJ

      sitting in. Sorry we fucked up your show. (laughs)

    2. SS

      (laughs)

    3. JR

      No, it was so good.

    4. GJ

      It was great.

    5. SS

      You know what I love about that? It was so real and, like, that's the thing, like, shit goes wrong on stage and I'm so used to it, it's like, "Well, this guitar is crapping out on me so I'm just gonna-"

    6. GJ

      Yeah.

    7. SS

      "... put it down and- and move around and..."

    8. GJ

      Yeah.

    9. SS

      It was fun.

    10. JR

      Yeah, it was awesome.

    11. GJ

      Yeah, it was good.

    12. SS

      I had fun.

    13. JR

      It was awesome. It was beautiful. That was cool. It was- I mean, that was the first time we've been out this- this week doing stuff, you know? And I was really inspired by seeing you guys, you know, come down and do stuff. I was like, "I gotta get back out." You know?

    14. SS

      Yeah.

    15. GJ

      I gotta get back out and-

    16. JR

      Well, I got inspired by doing- by- first of all, I- I took a long time off. I did, uh, one weekend in July and then I got weirded out. I was like, (clears throat) "I'm at-"

    17. SS

      Where was that?

    18. JR

      In the Houston Improv.

    19. SS

      Okay.

    20. JR

      But I was like, "I don't wanna get any sick."

    21. GJ

      (laughs)

    22. SS

      And it was inside?

    23. JR

      Yeah, I was like, "I don't wanna get any sick. I don't wanna get sick."

    24. SS

      Right.

    25. JR

      But then after a while, you're like, "I gotta live my fucking life."

    26. SS

      Yeah.

    27. JR

      "Like, I can't... This is a part of my life."

    28. SS

      Mm-hmm.

    29. JR

      And then Tony was in town-

    30. SS

      Yeah.

  3. 30:0045:00

    (laughs) …

    1. GJ

      your cat's name is Bootsy Collins.

    2. JR

      (laughs)

    3. SS

      Bootsy Collins is, she's the best. She doesn't have a tail. They had to cut her tail off.

    4. GJ

      Oh.

    5. SS

      'Cause somebody hurt her when she was a kitten and-

    6. JR

      Oh.

    7. SS

      Yeah, but she's cool, man. She's so, she's one of those, like, she's, she's a cat with trauma, but she's so happy all the ti- like, she purrs all the time, and she's-

    8. JR

      Mm.

    9. SS

      ... she's a good girl. Yeah.

    10. JR

      You're cat lady.

    11. SS

      I am. You know, I got shamed for it recently.

    12. JR

      (gasps)

    13. SS

      And I was like, really? I thought that was interesting, because I have a lot of love to give, and I got him 'cause I was lonely, and I was like, I, and I love animals. Like, I am, I want... I realized recently-... I do want babies and I want a big house full of animals, babies, and, like, music and a revolving door of just, like, incredible guests with food on the table and we're just, like, feasting and loving life. That's what I want.

    14. JR

      This is- this is what you've been thinking of during the quarantine?

    15. SS

      Yeah, yeah. 'Cause I didn't think I wanted kids.

    16. JR

      You gotta find someone to give you babies or you gotta get, go-

    17. SS

      Yeah, he's around. He's coming. I don't know where he is.

    18. JR

      He's coming?

    19. SS

      I don't know.

    20. JR

      Oh, you feel it. He's out there. He's-

    21. SS

      Yeah, yeah.

    22. JR

      When the vibration changes, whoa.

    23. SS

      Yeah. Well, 'cause I'm so happy, like, alone, so it's, like, gonna take, like, a warrior king. You know? Like, I'm not gonna, like-

    24. JR

      I'm gonna throw up.

    25. SS

      (laughs) It's true.

    26. JR

      'Cause any guy who calls himself a warrior king-

    27. SS

      Yeah, that's kind of fucked up.

    28. JR

      ... Jesus.

    29. SS

      Uh, it's just... He- he can't, he can't call himself that. Only I can call him that. That's the rule.

    30. JR

      You shouldn't even call him that. Maybe think it.

  4. 45:001:00:00

    Oh, more lives. …

    1. JR

      and the fire burnt the chicken coop down and then there was a bunch-

    2. SS

      Oh, more lives.

    3. JR

      ... just running around. So then we had to take the bunch that were running around and we had to put them in a temporary coop while we're rebuilding the other coop and the coyotes got into the temporary coop and killed them all.

    4. NA

      Damn.

    5. JR

      Killed like I think 11 in a day.

    6. SS

      Oh my God.

    7. JR

      Yeah. Not good. Those... They're fucking smart.

    8. SS

      Gluttonous assholes.

    9. JR

      They're smart.

    10. SS

      Yeah.

    11. JR

      They're sneaky and smart.

    12. NA

      Mm-hmm. Absolutely.

    13. SS

      That's what's so interesting about living in Los Angeles is that, like, even in, like... And you're ki-... Like, Calabasas was a little... Like, you had a little more, like, nature around.

    14. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    15. SS

      But, like, there's so much wildlife there.

    16. JR

      Yeah.

    17. SS

      In the middle of the city and, you know, I, I, I love it. I'm, I'm ready for some, some wide open spaces though. I'm definitely starting to-

    18. JR

      Oh, you gotta move to Texas. That's what you're saying.

    19. SS

      I, I am thinking about it, man.

    20. NA

      That's what we do now.

    21. JR

      That's what you're saying.

    22. SS

      I... Just, like, hanging out with you guys and some of my other good buds here, I was like, "This, this is nice."

    23. JR

      Time to move to Texas.

    24. SS

      I like it here.

    25. JR

      Yeah.

    26. SS

      I, I was talking to Michael, your, uh, road manager.

    27. NA

      Yeah, yeah.

    28. SS

      And I love him.

    29. NA

      Mike Weed.

    30. SS

      Michael Weed. And, and he's not a pothead and I was like, "Good, 'cause that'd be too literal." (laughs)

  5. 1:00:001:03:37

    Mm. …

    1. SS

      I, I was, I was, I was also in New York for 9/11, and it felt similarly... There was this, like, ominous, I-wanna-get-the-fuck-outta-here feeling. And I, I had my dad's minivan 'cause I borrowed it for the tour I was on, 'cause I didn't wanna rent a car and I wasn't getting paid that much money. It was, it's a great van. It's a Chrysler. Hell of a van. Um, but I went back to my parents' house in South Carolina from New York, and, uh, I couldn't, I could not wait to get outta New York. It was such a weird feeling.

    2. JR

      Mm.

    3. SS

      But yeah, nobody, uh... It was, like, some of the people at the show were like... You, you could just see it coming. It was like half as many people showed up that bought tickets, and then some of 'em were like, "I'm scared, but I'm really happy to be here." (laughs) You know, it was kinda-

    4. JR

      Yeah.

    5. SS

      It wasn't-

    6. JR

      I remember shaking a dude's hand on an airplane. I went to, uh, v- uh, Vegas for the UFC and there was a dude in front of me. We started talking. And then afterwards, uh, he go... I go, "Hey, man, real nice to meet you," and I go to shake his hand and he's like-

    7. SS

      Mm-hmm.

    8. JR

      Not sure. Should we shake hands?

    9. SS

      Yeah, yeah.

    10. JR

      He was like the first dude I saw with a mask on too. He was the only guy on the whole plane with a mask on.

    11. SS

      Yeah. Yep. Yeah.

    12. JR

      And then we decided to go with the fist bump.

    13. SS

      Yeah, yeah.

    14. JR

      Which doesn't give any cooties-

    15. SS

      No.

    16. JR

      ... I guess.

    17. SS

      No.

    18. JR

      You can't get a cootie from a fist bump.

    19. SS

      Apparently not.

    20. JR

      They don't even think you're getting it from a handshake anymore.

    21. SS

      Elbows.

    22. JR

      Yeah, a lot of dudes are doing elbows.

    23. SS

      I, uh, I took it-

    24. GJ

      I don't know what to do.

    25. JR

      I wanna hug them and make out with them when they do that.

    26. SS

      Did you tell him he smelled good?

    27. JR

      You motherfucker.

    28. SS

      You're like, "You smell good, so-"

    29. GJ

      (laughs)

    30. JR

      (laughs)
