      Jamie, uh, is aware, but you're not investing. You've got like a few weird ones.

    8. BS

      Mm-hmm.

    9. JR

      You got more?

    10. NA

      I have one of the big ones.

    12. NA

      I have a mutant ape.

    13. JR

      (laughs)

    14. BS

      (laughs)

    15. NA

      Not the biggest.

    16. JR

      Like he says-

    17. NA

      I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna, like, put out there it's the biggest, but.

    19. BS

      Tiger Thick.

    20. JR

      Tiger Thick. It's very good.

    21. BS

      Thank you, brother.

    22. JR

      I was surprised.

    23. BS

      Thank you.

    24. JR

      I was ready for some bullshit last night.

    25. NA

      (laughs)

    26. BS

      (laughs)

    27. JR

      When you busted it out, I was like... Because I got offered... There was a thing that was going on with me. Salud, brother.

    28. BS

      Cheers, brother.

    29. JR

      Very good to see you.

    30. BS

      Love you, man.

  2. 15:0030:00

    I don't know. …

    1. JR

    2. BS

      I don't know.

    3. JR

      Interesting.

    4. BS

      But it's good, man.

    5. JR

      I like how most of the people were like people that you don't know their name.

    6. BS

      Yes.

    7. JR

      You know, other than Robert Pattinson, most of the people were people you don't know. Like you don't know the Penguin's name, but he's really good.

    8. BS

      Colin Farrell.

    9. JR

      That was Colin Farrell?

    10. BS

      How, yeah, how nuts is that?

    11. JR

      Jesus Christ, really?

    12. BS

      Isn't that nuts? Couldn't tell.

    13. JR

      G- You know what? I actually knew that.

    14. BS

      Yeah.

    15. JR

      I forgot it. That's how good he is.

    16. BS

      Right?

    17. JR

      Oh my God, the makeup's incredible.

    18. BS

      Nuts. Dude, think about the Batmobile.

    19. JR

      Batmobile's pretty dope.

    20. BS

      That's a, that, the, you know what? That's the ... So I saw the Batmobile, I'm like, "Well that's a-"

    21. JR

      Look at that.

    22. BS

      Nuts.

    23. JR

      That's incredible, man. What kind of makeup did they do with him?

    24. BS

      Yeah.

    25. JR

      I mean-

    26. BS

      Dude that, that car scene with him in that, that B- Batmobile.

    27. JR

      Yeah.

    28. BS

      If you look at the Batmobile, it's ac- actually the chassis of an old school Dodge Challenger.

    29. JR

      Yeah, I heard about that. Yeah.

    30. BS

      That thing's legit, dude.

  3. 30:0045:00

    Man, why do you…

    1. JR

    2. BS

      Man, why do you think they're there, dude? Some random Americans?

    3. JR

      But, I mean, wouldn't you want this to be documented just to show... Because, like, what is wrong with making a photograph of something that's kind of important in its, uh, how crazy it is in comparison to normal funerals? Like, this is weird.

    4. BS

      These-

    5. JR

      The, the people are all standing there, and they're, th- they're... What are they doing? Are they shooing away the vulture with those rags? What are they doing?

    6. BS

      Yeah, not yet, boys.

    7. NA

      Well, in-

    8. JR

      Is that what they're saying?

    9. NA

      In this case, in this video, this was on National Geographic, there's, uh, there's tourists that are coming to watch this.

    10. JR

      Mm.

    11. BS

      Damn, someone flew out there for this.

    12. NA

      Maybe they don't want them to do that. I don't know.

    13. BS

      If you were in town, though...

    14. JR

      ... like, if you were in town, you wouldn't go see that? Like, if you just happened to be?

    15. BS

      (laughs)

    16. JR

      Like, if you were doing a show and, in Tibet-

    17. BS

      (laughs) Tibet.

    18. JR

      (laughs)

    19. BS

      Hey, man, I'm on at 1:00, dude.

    20. JR

      Hey, you know, Louie was supposed to be doing a show in Ukraine.

    21. BS

      I, I talked to him about it.

    22. JR

      That's wild.

    23. BS

      Dude, this is how wild of a boy he is, because he was at the, uh, Schaub and Friends at The Improv, and he did a guest spot there and h- he was in the green room. First of all, I can't remember the last time when there was a comic on stage and all the comics in the green room walked out and watched somebody's set.

    24. JR

      Yeah.

    25. BS

      I've seen it at the, at the store when you're on or Burr, you know, Joey Diaz. Since then, it's been years. Usually, you, you just bullshit with your buddies, you know, in the green room. And then when Louie was on, literally everyone was on the staircase at The Improv.

    26. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    27. BS

      And he just fucking absolutely cr- annihilated. And not... And then, also, I figured with, you know, what he went through, it kind of changed his game up. No, man.

    28. JR

      Not at all.

    29. BS

      He still d- w- what?

    30. JR

      Not at all.

  4. 45:001:00:00

    For me, the big…

    1. BS

      on that when the fighter's on, but other than that, I'm, I'd say 98% of the time carnivore. Unless I cheat on the show.

    2. JR

      For me, the big change adding fruit was workouts. My workouts are better. I eat fruit in the morning before I work out. And I was doing a lot of fasted workouts before. And fasted workouts are fine, you get, but I really do think I get, like, a little extra juice-

    3. BS

      I bet.

    4. JR

      ... if, uh-

    5. BS

      From the sugar?

    6. JR

      ... if I have some, yeah, if I have some fruit. So that's all I ever eat in the morning, is fruit. And, uh-

    7. BS

      Dude, you look-

    8. JR

      ... hehe.

    9. BS

      ... the best I've seen you look, I would say.

    10. JR

      Thank you.

    11. BS

      And also Jamie too, man. I know I was talking shit before we came in here, but-

    12. JR

      It's a good life. We're living the good life out here in Texas, bro.

    13. BS

      ... you boys are crushing it.

    14. JR

      This is, this is what freedom looks like.

    15. BS

      Yeah.

    16. JR

      Ugh.

    17. BS

      Yeah, no. (laughs)

    18. JR

      (laughs)

    19. BS

      Dude, but it's so, it's so weird with comics in LA and then the comics here. It's not a LA vers Austin.

    20. JR

      They make, they're making it-

    21. BS

      I don't, why?

    22. JR

      A lot of these LA people are mad we left.

    23. BS

      I mean, dude, it's, the LA scene's back and popping, dude. It's like, you know?

    24. JR

      Look, I'm sure it's great. It's great. People get FOMO, man. Everybody gets FOMO. They get fear of missing out. It's normal. When someone leaves and goes and looks like they're having too much fun, it's always, "Fuck that guy."

    25. BS

      Yeah, I guess because of Instagram and, like, social media, 'cause, y- you know, I d-

    26. JR

      Yeah.

    27. BS

      ... you know, I, I don't see Instagram or social media, but I assume you post cool shit, so people are like, "Oh, fuck that."

    28. JR

      I don't even hardly post anything.

    29. BS

      Yeah, I don't know.

    30. JR

      But I-

  5. 1:00:001:02:28

    He's in LA? …

    1. JR

      say before you go on stage, or before you go on, on air rather, uh, a producer came backstage. I don't wanna name the show, but they're, they're good guys. They came... The producer comes backstage.

    2. BS

      He's in LA?

    3. JR

      No.

    4. BS

      Oh, okay.

    5. JR

      And the producer's like, "Okay, so what topics are you gonna cover so they could lead you into them?" I go, "What are you talking about?"

    6. BS

      What?

    7. JR

      I go, "We're just gonna talk." And the producer goes, "What? No, you have to do your bits." I go, "Listen, man."

    8. BS

      Oh. No, no, no, no.

    9. JR

      I go, "Listen, man. I'm not doing my bits."

    10. BS

      D- Nothing worse.

    11. JR

      And, you know, as he, like, like, shakes his head, and, like, looks at the sky, and just walks out of the room, like, "This fucking loser." I'm like, "For real."

    12. BS

      I'd be like, "Bitch, bitch, I'm a professional, dude. I'm not fucking Ryan Seacrest."

    13. JR

      We can't just talk.

    14. BS

      That I'm good, dude.

    15. JR

      We can't just talk.

    16. BS

      Yeah.

    17. JR

      "I'm in tow- You don't think we could just have something interesting in f- about the fact that I'm in town for the UFC and a comedy show at the local comedy club? You don't, you don't think that we can find something to talk about?"

    18. BS

      I, I think I'll be all right, man. I talk for a living. I'll navigate-

    19. JR

      Let's just-

    20. BS

      ... my way through it.

    21. JR

      Let's just talk. You don't need to know. "Funny thing about the zoo, Bob."

    22. BS

      Oh, d- yeah. Oh, d- yeah. "Did you say Chili's? The thing about Chili's..." Yeah, it's like, come on, dude.

    23. JR

      But that's what all those late night shows essentially did. I don't know if they still do it that way, 'cause I haven't done one in forever, but, like, if you did standup on one of those shows, like, you showed them your set. They went over it with a fine-tooth comb. They changed a lot of it. They would cut out bits.

    24. BS

      Four minutes clean up.

    25. JR

      Yeah, you had to do super clean.

    26. BS

      Yep.

    27. JR

      And then if you went to sit down next to, like, Johnny Carson, like, John... I don't know how Johnny Carson did it, but I know that, like, some of those late night talk show guys, they would have very specific things they'd want to talk to you about. You know, like, "So, uh, I heard you started riding a bike in your neighborhood."

    28. BS

      Yeah, yeah.

    29. JR

      "How's that going?"

    30. BS

      Yeah. (laughs)
