    Protect Our Parks chaos: NYC politics, corruption, and the “new mayor” vibe check

    1. JR

      Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. Hey, we're up and running. To the cuddle party.

    2. AS

      Cheese. All right.

    3. MN

      High five. High five.

    4. AS

      Hey, hey, comedy.

    5. JR

      (Uh) There we go, Gil.

    6. MN

      Yes, yes.

    7. JR

      So what are we calling this? Are we calling this Protect Our Parks?

    8. AS

      No.

    9. MN

      I think it's Protect Our Parks.

    10. AS

      We need a better name.

    11. MN

      We didn't do a good job protecting the last one.

    12. JR

      What happened to the park?

    13. MN

      (laughs) It's gone. (laughs)

    14. JR

      Since the podcast.

    15. MN

      It's 50 acres just a dirt pile now.

    16. AS

      Good. That is so crazy that they allowed them to do that, that they just do it ... they just totally did that. You know nobody in the city voted for that.

    17. MN

      Not a single person.

    18. JR

      (laughs)

    19. MN

      (laughs) I mean, yeah.

    20. JR

      Fucking evil, man. It's evil.

    21. MN

      There's definitely gonna be a, a prison in there or high rises in no time.

    22. JR

      What is the general consensus about the new mayor of New York?

    23. AS

      Oh, it's bad already.

    24. MN

      Saw people get mad at him for-

    25. JR

      Really?

    26. AS

      I think he seems nice.

    27. MN

      I saw people get mad at him for he says, "We had to protect the low-wage employees." 'Cause he's like, "The people at Dunkin' Donuts," and (laughs) he goes, "They're not educated. They're not smart enough to be in a corner office." And everyone's like, "What?"

    28. JR

      Oh, Jesus. (laughs)

    29. AS

      (laughs)

    30. MN

      (laughs)

  3. 2:063:17

    Jan 6 jokes, FBI non-answers, and the “use Signal” paranoia spiral

    1. MN

      The one-year anniversary of the greatest upset. (laughs)

    2. JR

      Nice. (laughs)

    3. NA

      It was, it was the greatest upset in sports.

    4. AS

      Oh.

    5. MN

      Nobody saw it coming.

    6. AS

      Ah. Yeah, it was a gift.

    7. MN

      Just, they just dethroned Buster Douglas-

    8. JR

      (laughs)

    9. MN

      ... as the greatest upset.

    10. NA

      (laughs)

    11. AS

      A couple of them climbed that wall pretty good. I mean, it was impressive.

    12. JR

      Oh, boy.

    13. AS

      They were out of shape.

    14. NA

      Those were the feds.

    15. MN

      Yeah.

    16. NA

      Oh.

    17. MN

      Those were the feds.

    18. NA

      The ones that scaled over the fence.

    19. JR

      Did you so- fucking see the, uh, the thing where Ted Cruz is grilling that lady from the FBI? And he asks her the whole, the whole ... runs the gamut of, "Were federal agents involved in any viol-"

    20. MN

      No, we can't answer that.

    21. JR

      We can't answer that?

    22. NA

      We can't answer that.

    23. JR

      "Were federal agents involved in, in, you know, inciting violence or trying to court-"

    24. MN

      We can't answer that.

    25. JR

      Yeah. Never saw it?

    26. MN

      You should, you should always ans- ask a follow-up question, uh, like, uh, "Is Coke the same as Sprite?" And they'll be like, "No." Like, "Okay, that's your baseline."

    27. JR

      Right. (laughs)

    28. AS

      (laughs)

    29. MN

      So then, what is, "We can't answer this"?

    30. JR

      Yeah, what does that mean? We can't answer this? Oh, God.

  4. 3:174:50

    Opting out of the news, MeToo-as-sport riffs, and Sandusky/Penn State dark comedy

    1. AS

      I don't even watch the news. I haven't seen any news stories since Larry Nassar.

    2. MN

      You don't watch it? It's so smart not to.

    3. JR

      (laughs)

    4. MN

      Larry Nassar was the great. (laughs)

    5. AS

      I mean, that was the peak. I got out.

    6. JR

      You saw Nassar and you're like, "I'm done. This is good."

    7. AS

      Yeah, I got enough.

    8. MN

      (laughs)

    9. AS

      Who watches the news? What is ... There's nothing for me there.

    10. MN

      Somehow it involved Me Too and sports was a good combo.

    11. JR

      True.

    12. AS

      That's true. That should be a sport.

    13. MN

      Me Too.

    14. AS

      Yeah, the Me Too Olympics.

    15. MN

      (laughs) Yeah.

    16. AS

      What's it called? Uh.

    17. MN

      (laughs)

    18. AS

      What's that university? Penn State? (laughs)

    19. MN

      (laughs)

    20. AS

      They're doing good. Was it Penn State with Sandusky?

    21. NA

      Yeah, it's Sandusky.

    22. MN

      Penn State, yeah.

    23. AS

      That was a-

    24. MN

      Yeah, they really let that other guy go, huh? The dead one.

    25. JR

      Whop-

    26. NA

      Jopa.

    27. JR

      Jopa.

    28. MN

      Jopa. Yeah.

    29. JR

      They fucking, "You knew something."

    30. NA

      He died, like, on the spot. He, he got, like, lung cancer and died, like, right away.

  5. 4:507:16

    Trans prisoners, identity loopholes, and Sex and the City’s “nonbinary standup” scene

    1. JR

      Well, they're doing that now with, with male prisoners who are-

    2. AS

      I saw that.

    3. JR

      ... transgender. They're putting them in female prisons. And these ... And a lot of them are, like, guilty of sexual assault, and they're putting them in prison with females who they're raping.

    4. MN

      And all they gotta do is say, "Hey."

    5. JR

      Yeah, identify as a woman.

    6. MN

      Just say you're checking.

    7. AS

      It's a smart move. I mean, why wouldn't you do that?

    8. JR

      Well, one, one guy did, and then immediately upon release started identifying as a man again.

    9. AS

      Damn.

    10. JR

      Like, literally identify as a woman for one second.

    11. NA

      You gotta give that guy some respect.

    12. MN

      Yeah, respect.

    13. JR

      Well, he gamed the system.

    14. NA

      Yeah.

    15. JR

      But the system is really fucking stupid.

    16. AS

      Yikes.

    17. JR

      It's such a dumb ... It's like, what a dumb thing this identity politics has, has given us, this ability for a, a sexual offender to just change their gender by saying, "I identify with a woman." You keep your dick, you don't have to get an operation, you don't have to get hormone treatments.

    18. MN

      There should be a test. There should be some sort of test, like getting, like get- ... becoming a citizen.

    19. JR

      Should be a test.

    20. AS

      What kind of test?

    21. MN

      Get to know some stuff about womanhood.

    22. AS

      Some menstruation stuff.

    23. JR

      What kind of test?

    24. MN

      Yeah.

    25. AS

      Golden Girls.

    26. NA

      Name a purse. Name three purses.

    27. MN

      (laughs)

    28. AS

      Yes.

    29. JR

      Oh, shit.

    30. AS

      One Sex and the City character.

  6. 7:168:48

    What do we name this group? Cuddle Party, Kuks, and other terrible branding ideas

    1. JR

      Yeah. So, uh, save our parks or cuddle party, what's the consensus?

    2. SG

      What else, what else can we name it?

    3. AS

      Oh, we can, we can branch out a little bit.

    4. JR

      Four cunts?

    5. AS

      That's not bad, the Four Cunts of the Apocalypse.

    6. SG

      (laughs)

    7. (laughs) Yeah.

    8. AS

      That's a good name for Sex in the City.

    9. SG

      (gasps)

    10. Yeah.

    11. AS

      Let's see.

    12. JR

      Toxic non-gender specific?

    13. SG

      Yeah.

    14. AS

      Hmm.

    15. JR

      Humans.

    16. AS

      Non-binary, asexuals, queefs.

    17. SG

      (laughs) Queef, yeah.

    18. AS

      Hmm.

    19. SG

      I vote no names.

    20. Fuck queefs.

    21. AS

      Kwiefer Sutherland?

    22. JR

      You have what?

    23. SG

      No name.

    24. JR

      No name?

    25. SG

      No name.

    26. AS

      Like a prince?

    27. SG

      We can't go a name.

    28. JR

      Just no names for us? Okay.

    29. SG

      We shouldn't name-

    30. JR

      Well, you know what we could do? We could just-

  7. 8:4812:26

    Jurassic Park nostalgia: real velociraptor size, movie magic, and ‘fat target’ rotations

    1. AS

      Yeah. Was that the first time a sports team was ever named after a movie?

    2. SG

      I think so. The Raptors, also, was right around then, but it was the first-

    3. It was around Jurassic Park, you're right.

    4. JR

      Was it really?

    5. SG

      Yeah.

    6. Yeah.

    7. JR

      Do you know that raptors, those raptors are really little? They're not big like that?

    8. SG

      Really?

    9. JR

      Yeah, yeah. Apparently Steven Speen-... Spielberg was consulting with a dinosaur expert, and he found out, uh, how little the raptors were, and he's like, "That's not gonna work. We need them to be big."

    10. SG

      Yeah.

    11. JR

      So he made them, like, seven feet tall. But real raptors are, like, 24" tall. They're like tiny little things.

    12. SG

      What? Interesting.

    13. AS

      How-

    14. SG

      How tall are the raptors?

    15. AS

      Make sure that's true. How tall are the raptors? Hello, Ataru Goog.

    16. JR

      (clears throat) I don't think they're very big. They're very ferocious.

    17. AS

      They can open doors.

    18. SG

      Yeah, but they're little.

    19. JR

      Yeah.

    20. SG

      Two feet tall.

    21. AS

      Clever girl.

    22. JR

      Yeah, that scared... I saw that in the theater, scared the shit out of me.

    23. MN

      Oh, my God.

    24. JR

      I was ten years old.

    25. SG

      What a good movie that was.

    26. MN

      Great movie.

    27. SG

      In the theater, when you saw the first dinosaur-

    28. Man.

    29. ... and it's like, "What?"

    30. MN

      Bro, for real.

  8. 12:2619:36

    Jonah Hill, body commentary etiquette, LASIK wearing off, and future eye-repair science

    1. SG

      I did. I had LASIK.

    2. (laughs)

    3. MN

      Oh, you did?

    4. SG

      Yeah, it's wearing off.

    5. MN

      Ah.

    6. JR

      What?

    7. SG

      Yeah.

    8. MN

      Well, you're aged.

    9. SG

      Yeah.

    10. JR

      It's wearing off?

    11. SG

      Yeah, I feel it wearing off.

    12. JR

      What do you mean it's wearing off?

    13. SG

      It's... Seven or eight years ago.

    14. JR

      LASIK wears off?

    15. SG

      I... I didn't know.

    16. MN

      What about the cane? You still got the cane?

    17. SG

      Can't do it again?

    18. I think... I'm hoping he can do it again.

    19. (laughs)

    20. JR

      Woo. You gotta go for a second eyeball surgery?

    21. SG

      I... I had a... I had a cane for the beach.

    22. By the way, that was the first shot. You heard it.

    23. JR

      What? I thought you did it.

    24. SG

      You did it. You did it.

    25. No, no, no. No, no, no. You said, "Shane, could you read that?" I just asking him legitimately if he could read that or not.

    26. No, that was the first shot.

    27. MN

      Oh, is that a picture?

    28. JR

      No, no, no, Shane.

    29. SG

      I just want to know. You wasn't even close into it.

    30. No, no, no.

  9. 19:3621:41

    HIV origin theories, bushmeat, bat soup, and ‘octopus teacher’ weirdness

    1. NA

      Isn't that an interesting story?

    2. JR

      They think that one of the ways-

    3. NA

      Hmm.

    4. JR

      ... that, uh, people initially got HIV, and this is very controversial.

    5. MN

      Uh-oh.

    6. JR

      But they think there was guys that were, uh-

    7. NA

      Tell us.

    8. JR

      You know, bushmeat is, uh, a thing in Africa where they'll essentially shoot and kill-

    9. NA

      Yeah.

    10. JR

      ... anything and sell it as meat because food's scarce.

    11. NA

      Mm-hmm.

    12. JR

      So they'll occasionally do that to chimpanzees. They'll, they'll shoot chimps and sell chimp meat and eat chimps.

    13. MN

      Ah.

    14. NA

      Yeah.

    15. MN

      It's like the Wuhan bat.

    16. JR

      And they think that through cutting a monkey or a gorilla or some chimp, some sort of primate, they got the blood on the knife and cut their finger.

    17. MN

      Ah.

    18. JR

      And that, this is just, I, I think this is just speculation. They don't... I don't think they necessarily have a patient zero in AIDS.

    19. NA

      I'm sticking with fuck the monkey.

    20. JR

      Fuck the monkey.

    21. MN

      Yeah, that's a good story.

    22. NA

      That's what I want to believe.

    23. JR

      Remember when Chappelle stood on that?

    24. NA

      Yeah.

    25. MN

      "Rip your dick off like a celery stalk."

    26. JR

      (laughs)

    27. NA

      Fucking the monkey.

    28. JR

      "You know how hard it be to fuck a monkey?"

    29. NA

      (laughs)

    30. MN

      That would be pretty hard. (laughs)

  10. 21:4124:35

    Dolphin research goes off the rails: NASA funding, horny dolphins, and drowning jealousy myths

    1. JR

      You know, John Lilly was, uh-

    2. NA

      Big grizzly man.

    3. JR

      ... doing, uh, he had a, a whole, uh, program doing dolphin research. They were trying to teach dolphins how to talk.

    4. NA

      Mm.

    5. JR

      And the dolphins kept getting distracted-

    6. MN

      Whaming?

    7. JR

      ... because they were horny. Um, so, uh, this lady would just jerk off to dolphins so they'd-

    8. NA

      Yeah.

    9. JR

      ... participate in the study.

    10. MN

      What?

    11. NA

      Getting hard.

    12. JR

      Yeah, and they found out about that, like, "That's a wrap for your study."

    13. NA

      Yeah.

    14. JR

      "You can't be jerking people off for dolphins."

    15. MN

      I feel like it's a win for the dolphins.

    16. JR

      Yeah.

    17. NA

      Dude, there's a guy who was fucking dolphins.

    18. JR

      A dolphin who loved me.

    19. MN

      (laughs)

    20. JR

      NASA-funded project that went wrong. Margaret Lovat in the 1960s was part of a NASA-funded project to communicate with dolphins. Soon she was living with Peter 24 hours a day in a converted house. So, like, the house was-

    21. NA

      Oh, no.

    22. JR

      ... like waist high in water.

    23. MN

      Whoa.

    24. JR

      Uh, Christopher Riley-

    25. NA

      She was whacking them off.

    26. JR

      ... reports an experiment that went tragically wrong.

    27. MN

      They died?

    28. JR

      Tragic because she got to cum.

    29. NA

      Did she die?

    30. JR

      No, he got to cum.

  11. 24:3527:17

    David Choe in Africa: hunting baboons, Facebook stock luck, and why artists annoy people

    1. JR

      You know David Choe, the artist?

    2. MN

      Yeah.

    3. JR

      Yeah, David Choe went to, um, uh, with, with the Hadza. Where, where was that? What part? It was Tanzania? I think it was Tanzania. He went and, uh, hunted baboons. They, uh, they, they eat baboons.

    4. MN

      Damn.

    5. Damn, they hunt, uh-

    6. JR

      And he goes, "It's fucked up." He goes, "'Cause when the baboon gets hit with the arrow, he grabs it like a person."

    7. MN

      Ah, yeah.

    8. NA

      (groans)

    9. MN

      They're fucking terrifying, baboons.

    10. JR

      Yeah, yeah, because it's, it's really fucked up.

    11. MN

      They dress like a baboon?

    12. JR

      So this is Choe. No, I don't know what they're doing. Is that a- A GoPro and a dog that put on their-

    13. MN

      He's got dogs out there.

    14. NA

      Oh, okay.

    15. JR

      ... chasing the baboons.

    16. MN

      Look at that, that guy.

    17. This is hell.

    18. NA

      Peephole.

    19. MN

      I would never want to do this.

    20. JR

      So the, these, these-

    21. NA

      (laughs)

    22. MN

      Uh...

    23. JR

      ... folks, they eat everything, right?

    24. NA

      Yep.

    25. JR

      But they have less game in the area where they live than ever used to be there before, so they find themselves eating a lot of primates.

    26. MN

      Man, that guy's living, huh?

    27. JR

      David, David-

    28. MN

      He goes for it.

    29. JR

      ... is so, David Choe is so fucking interesting, 'cause the guy's worth like an, a stupid amount of money.

    30. MN

      Is he?

    Genital injury war stories: fence-sliced sacks, jiu-jitsu blood, and Rogan’s ‘test it by jerking off’ logic

    1. MN

      You know you cut your dick, I cut my sack open on a fence.

    2. JR

      Ooh.

    3. NA

      Oh.

    4. MN

      Saw my ball.

    5. Oh, no.

    6. Yeah.

    7. JR

      Oh my God, you saw your ball?

    8. MN

      In college.

    9. JR

      Ooh.

    10. MN

      Got, got really drunk at a party, started making out with this girl on the couch.

    11. Oh.

    12. Her boyfriend sees me, he's like, "We're going outside." I was like-

    13. JR

      (laughs)

    14. MN

      ... "All right, let's do it."

    15. NA

      And you ran? (laughs)

    16. MN

      And I ... And then he's like, "Bobby, Jimmy, Mike!" All these guys came out of the woodwork, so I was alone, so I just jumped this fence, straddled it-

    17. (inhales deeply)

    18. ... couldn't make it all the way over, fell over the other side, I was hanging by my jeans, the jeans ripped.

    19. NA

      Oh ...

    20. MN

      They're all laughing. Ran home, passed out, woke up, sack was torn, blood everywhere.

    21. Oh.

    22. Had to get it stitched up.

    23. NA

      You had to ... What?

    24. MN

      Yeah, I had to wear a jockstrap for a month.

    25. Ooh.

    26. And then I had to get the stitches removed.

    27. NA

      Wow.

    28. MN

      That guy, that guy owned you, dude.

    29. He really did.

    30. NA

      No.

    YouTube retroactive censorship: ‘beer cured my COVID’ and the algorithm vs. humans debate

    1. JR

      Hey, Shane, tell everybody what we were talking about before this 'cause it is so... I can't believe that this happened.

    2. AS

      Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh.

    3. JR

      But his video got pulled off of YouTube because he simply said-

    4. MN

      Yeah.

    5. JR

      ... that when he had COVID, he just drank beer.

    6. NA

      I said that the way I beat COVID was I just drank beer. That's all I was doing.

    7. JR

      That's all he said.

    8. NA

      And it w- and it worked and I was healed.

    9. MN

      Yeah. Funny. Sure. (laughs)

    10. NA

      And that was... I was just explaining exactly what happened. And the episode got taken down from Matt and Shane's Secret Podcast.

    11. MN

      Oh, the whole episode got taken down.

    12. JR

      Just imagine-

    13. NA

      It le- it got deleted.

    14. JR

      ... how fucking insane that is.

    15. NA

      Like six months later.

    16. AS

      That's so silly, yeah.

    17. MN

      Yeah. It's a little bit frightening.

    18. JR

      Imagine how insane that is. They're going through old podcasts.

    19. NA

      They really are, which is crazy.

    20. JR

      Yiana- Yiannis Krampus just got hit with one from six months ago, he told me. They gave him a strike. He can't post to his account right now.

    21. MN

      Oh, we're gonna lose all sorts of stuff.

    22. AS

      I know.

    23. JR

      It's just like, what are you doing? Like, why? What's the point? Like, y- y- you looking at what these guys are saying, like, what is... this is fun. It's like no one's getting hurt from any of this.

    24. NA

      Yeah.

    25. JR

      If anybody's getting infla- like, this is the whole thing. It's like you're not supposed to have, like, COVID, uh, misinformation or anything that doesn't go along with the lines, you're given some instructions. But that's not what you're doing. You're talking shit. If anybody was like, "Well, I was gonna get vaccinated, but then I saw Shane."

    26. MN

      "Drank beer."

    27. NA

      (laughs) Yeah.

    28. JR

      "And he drank beer. So I'm like, I'm gonna fucking drink beer too, bro."

    29. NA

      Yeah.

    30. JR

      Like, is that really... Is that a real thing?

    Longevity ‘secrets’: Big Macs, gin-soaked raisins, and why living to 117 sounds awful

    1. JR

      106-year-old Philadelphia woman is a big fan of Big Macs.

    2. NA

      This is... See-

    3. MN

      Yeah.

    4. NA

      This is more hurtful to people's health than saying like-

    5. JR

      That's so crazy.

    6. MN

      Yeah.

    7. NA

      ... maybe the vax is dangerous.

    8. JR

      I know. That, that should be medical misinformation.

    9. NA

      I'm interested. Be like, "Crush Big Macs. You're gonna age 106."

    10. JR

      She said it ke-

    11. MN

      (laughs)

    12. JR

      She said it kept her free of disease.

    13. NA

      (laughs)

    14. MN

      That's back when Big Mac started, when they were made with actual meat.

    15. JR

      She credits junk food for her long life. Her granddaughter said that maybe her lengthy lifespan has to do with the nine gin-soaked raisins she ate every day too.

    16. MN

      Gin-soaked raisins.

    17. AS

      Whoa.

    18. JR

      Gin-soaked raisins.

    19. AS

      Queen Elizabeth did the same thing.

    20. JR

      What kind of a weirdo lady is this?

    21. NA

      What... Yeah.

    22. MN

      What if it says not eating junk food?

    23. NA

      Refugee.

    24. JR

      South Philly. Which that, Jamie?

    25. AS

      It says, "Not eating junk food."

    26. JR

      Oh, not eating junk food. But cheeseburgers.

    27. AS

      I know, that's why it's stuck... I don't know.

    28. JR

      What the fuck does that mean? She's a liar. She's got dementia.

    29. AS

      (laughs)

    30. JR

      That's, that's what kept her alive, dementia.

    Animal fighting and bull stunts: dogfighting lore, cockfights, bull-leaping acrobatics, and bubble-suit carnage

    1. JR

      If, if you're out there listening and you're gonna get a German shepherd as a pet, you better be willing to work with that dog.

    2. MN

      Mm-hmm.

    3. JR

      You gotta, you gotta exercise that dog. Take it on runs, do things with it. You can't just leave a dog like that in the yard, they'll go crazy.

    4. SG

      And we know you're not willing to do that work.

    5. JR

      Yeah, so-

    6. MN

      Hear that, Michael Vick?

    7. SG

      ... don't get one.

    8. JR

      Ge- get a little poodle, bitch.

    9. SG

      No, Michael Vick worked those boys.

    10. MN

      Did he? Oh, I guess-

    11. SG

      He worked the hell out of those dogs.

    12. MN

      They were fighting? Yeah. (laughs)

    13. SG

      They were, baby. Dogs are probably having a little bit of fun.

    14. JR

      Oh, yeah.

    15. SG

      You should've seen his, his dog record was, like-

    16. MN

      He's a good dog wender. Hell, yeah.

    17. SG

      ... '86 and 14.

    18. MN

      (laughs)

    19. SG

      Like-

    20. JR

      His record was good?

    21. SG

      Yeah. He was, like, great.

    22. JR

      You know what's fucked, is with that-

    23. SG

      Underrated, hall of fame. He's in the hall of fame of dog fighting.

    24. MN

      I gotta get some new references.

    25. SG

      (laughs)

    26. JR

      There's this, like, a silent group of people that are involved in dog fights, that have been involved in dog fights for a long time. And that sort of exposed what that whole-

    27. SG

      Yeah.

    28. MN

      Ah.

    29. JR

      ... community is all about. Because there's a lot of dog fighting going on in parts of this country. Um, there's a guy that I knew, um, well, I know him, but he, at one point in time used to fight dogs. And he lived in, somewhere in the South.

    30. SG

      Yeah, the South loves it.

    Fear Factor behind-the-scenes: network-approved gross-outs, chain-wallet Rogan, and coaching people into chaos

    1. AS

      How much of a nightmare was Fear Factor?

    2. JR

      Um.

    3. AS

      To do?

    4. JR

      It was... Well, we did a, a bull riding thing once, and during the bull riding, there was... There's only two times in the history of the show where I told them, "Don't do it." I said, "Don't do this. Don't do it." And that was a big one. They go, "Well, this guy was a stunt guy." Those stunt guys are... They're fucking... They're different humans.

    5. AS

      Yeah.

    6. JR

      They're so used to getting hurt. They're so used to, like, just being brave and taking wild chances that the stunt guy literally said this to me. He goes, "Ah, don't worry about it, boo. Those are stunt bulls."

    7. AS

      Mm.

    8. JR

      I go, "Stunt bulls?" Like, does that bull know he's a stunt bull? (laughs) I bet he thinks he's a fucking bull. Like, "What are you talking about, man? It's a stunt bull."

    9. AS

      What is a stunt bull? (laughs)

    10. JR

      He knows. This thing was, like, 2,000 pounds, and it's in the cage. Bang, bang. Bang, bang.

    11. AS

      Oh, God.

    12. JR

      And they strapped a 98-pound girl to that thing. What? And I was like, "You guys are out of your fucking mind."

    13. AS

      What?

    14. JR

      They strapped a lady to a rodeo bull?

    15. AS

      Oh.

    16. JR

      (laughs) Guys, you have to understand, we don't joke about each other.

    17. AS

      How much of a nightmare was Fear Factor-

    18. JR

      Um-

    19. AS

      ... to do?

    20. JR

      It was... Well, we did a, a bull riding thing once, and during the bull riding, there was... There's only two times in the history of the show where I told them, "Don't do it." I said, "Don't do this. Don't do it." And that was a big one. They go, "Well, this guy was a stunt guy." Those stunt guys are... They're fucking... They're different humans.

    21. AS

      Yeah.

    22. JR

      They're so used to getting hurt. They're so used to, like, just being brave and taking wild chances that this one guy literally said this to me. He goes, "Ah, don't worry about it, boo. Those are stunt bulls."

    23. AS

      Mm.

    24. JR

      I go, "Stunt bulls?" Like, does that bull know he's a stunt bull? (laughs) I bet he thinks he's a fucking bull." What are you talking about, man? It's a stunt bull.

    25. AS

      What is a stunt bull? (laughs)

    26. JR

      This thing was like 2,000 pounds, and it's in the cage. Bang, bang. Bang, bang.

    27. AS

      Oh, God.

    28. JR

      And they strapped a 98-pound girl to that thing. What? I was like, "You guys are out of your fucking mind."

    29. AS

      What?
