    14. SG

    15. MN

      That was a great opening.

    16. JR

    Four Seasons pool shart story and the start of the drinking scoreboard

    1. AS

      I sharted my pants in the pool yesterday.

    2. JR

      I just wanna let everybody know that I ... Did you?

    3. AS

      Yeah.

    4. SG

      He sharted in the pool?

    5. MN

      It was ugly?

    6. AS

      (laughs) No, right next to it.

    7. JR

      What?

    8. SG

      He had a gurgler.

    9. AS

      I was like ... (gurgling) And I just sat there.

    10. JR

      Oh, no.

    11. AS

      Yeah, I sat there-

    12. JR

      Where was this, hotel?

    13. AS

      Yeah. (laughs)

    14. SG

      It sounded like an old car.

    15. JR

      In the Four Seasons?

    16. AS

      Mm-hmm.

    17. JR

      Oh, no, that's not a good place to shart.

    18. MN

      (laughs)

    19. SG

      Actually, it was great.

    20. JR

      That's a respectable establishment.

    21. AS

      No one else was there.

    22. SG

      Did you get back in the pool?

    23. AS

      I did not get back in the pool.

    24. MN

      (laughs)

    25. SG

      You let it wash itself out.

    26. JR

      He gave, he gave it a quick wipe. (laughs)

    27. SG

      It's a giant bidet.

    28. MN

      (laughs)

    29. JR

      He gave it a quick wipe and wiped right back in.

    30. AS

      I had that tight underwear, it kept it all in. The one that got the sheath, the sheath underwear, it kept it all in.

  3. 1:473:20

    Reverse-Hitler mustache, old Hollywood casting, and “who’s allowed to play what?”

    1. JR

      Your mustache seems like you're losing hair here.

    2. AS

      (laughs)

    3. MN

      It's the reverse Hitler.

    4. SG

      (laughs)

    5. MN

      Don't worry about it, dude. That's how not racist I am.

    6. JR

      He heils like this. He goes down.

    7. SG

      (laughs)

    8. MN

      (laughs)

    9. JR

      What is going on with this? Did you do that on purpose?

    10. MN

      I don't know. Don't worry about this. (laughs)

    11. JR

      (laughs)

    12. MN

      You didn't do it on pur- that's just natural, right? (laughs)

    13. SG

      It's very Asian, like an old, old Asian guy.

    14. MN

      Yeah, it's reparation.

    15. SG

      Fu Manchu. He should be sitting on a box, peeling something.

    16. JR

      It's like John Wayne when he played Genghis Khan.

    17. MN

      Oh, that was great.

    18. SG

      (laughs)

    19. MN

      They couldn't, that's the closest they get to Asian, so like, "Eh, just get a cowboy."

    20. JR

      "I'll tell you what, I'm on a roll all the way to Beijing."

    21. SG

      (laughs)

    22. JR

      Have you ever seen John Wayne play Genghis Khan?

    23. MN

      Yeah, it's crazy.

    24. JR

      It's ... They didn't even try.

    25. MN

      No.

    26. JR

      They didn't even pretend.

    27. MN

      He's just a white dude, he's like, "I'm Genghis Khan."

    28. SG

      (laughs)

    29. MN

      Put some eye makeup on him, a little ...

    30. SG

      There's a couple, Andy Rooney, was it? He did the Breakfast at Tiffany's. (Chinese accent) "Oh, hello." All that shit.

  4. 3:205:45

    Trans surgery rabbit hole, trans porn logic, and why porn used to show the guy’s face

    1. SG

      ... where you at on the trans? You, you know, you can't play a trans person now unless you're trans.

    2. JR

      Yeah.

    3. SG

      Which seems weird.

    4. AS

      You could ... You should just get a, a fucking pass if you suck a dick.

    5. JR

      That's all you gotta do?

    6. AS

      Yeah, half, halfway.

    7. JR

      But a lot of trans-

    8. SG

      All right, Shane, you're in.

    9. JR

      ... a lot of trans women-

    10. MN

      (laughs)

    11. AS

      (laughs)

    12. JR

      ... a lot of trans women, uh, still have sex with women.

    13. SG

      That's true.

    14. JR

      And they keep their dicks.

    15. AS

      They're lesbos.

    16. JR

      Which I recommend you keep your dick.

    17. SG

      Yes.

    18. JR

      You know, like, I've been paying attention to the operations. I, I went down-

    19. MN

      Yeah.

    20. JR

      ... a rabbit hole (exhales) because I had a guest who had a friend who had a operation, and it was a disaster.

    21. MN

      Yeah.

    22. JR

      They, they transitioned, and then, and then she started explaining to me all the issues that happen with it, including, like, growing hair inside, because they-

    23. MN

      Oh, no.

    24. SG

      Inside?

    25. JR

      ... tucked inside and then you grow hair inside.

    26. AS

      Hm.

    27. MN

      Oh, boy.

    28. SG

      Probably feels good.

    29. JR

      I mean, I don't, I don't think so.

    30. AS

      And then what?

  5. 5:459:55

    Porn economics → data tracking, browser privacy, and Google search curation

    1. JR

      I used to have a guy in my neighborhood, uh, lived right down the street from me during the, the golden days when they sold DVDs. This guy was balling outta control. He had a phat Mercedes, lived in a beautiful house, and, uh-

    2. SG

      The bootlegs.

    3. JR

      ... he was making all this money.

    4. AS

      Yeah.

    5. JR

      But then ... No, no, no, he was making his own.

    6. SG

      Oh.

    7. JR

      He was a producer.

    8. SG

      Oh.

    9. AS

      Oh, nice.

    10. JR

      But then digital came along. The internet came along-

    11. MN

      Ruined it.

    12. JR

      ... and took the fucking legs out of that company.

    13. SG

      Oh, yeah.

    14. JR

      That business went-... kaput. I mean, the, the, the government bailed out all kinds of companies. They never, there was never a peep about bailing out the porn industry.

    15. GU

      Yeah.

    16. SG

      Hmm, interesting.

    17. GU

      Good one.

    18. JR

      You know? But everybody's pretending they don't u-... It's-

    19. GU

      Yeah.

    20. JR

      Porn is a weird thing, like people pretend they don't watch it.

    21. SG

      Yeah.

    22. JR

      But it's literally-

    23. GU

      (burps)

    24. JR

      ... billions of people watch it.

    25. GU

      The biggest company.

    26. SG

      Billions.

    27. GU

      The biggest industry.

    28. SG

      They show the views now. It's like eight million, nine million.

    29. GU

      My mom doesn't watch it. Every video?

    30. SG

      Yeah.

  6. 9:5512:58

    Depp–Heard trial: hot lawyers, PR disasters, and ‘believe all women / believe no actress’

    1. SG

      Yeah, apparently Johnny Depp put a lot of dough into social media and that helped everybody realize that Heard was a koos.

    2. GU

      Wow. (laughs)

    3. JR

      I don't think that's what happened.

    4. SG

      Oh, oh, that's what I heard. I donated.

    5. JR

      Do you feel bad for her at all?

    6. SG

      Well, she lied.

    7. JR

      She definitely lied.

    8. GU

      Yeah, I feel bad for anybody who gets in that... It's like they're both losers out of it.

    9. SG

      She shou- How did she get drawn into that? Did she have to go to court?

    10. JR

      She's hot. She's being hot.

    11. SG

      No, no, yeah, no I mean-

    12. GU

      That's pretty...

    13. SG

      Did she have to do that?

    14. JR

      She had to. Yeah.

    15. SG

      Oh, okay.

    16. JR

      He sued her. He sued her for defamation.

    17. SG

      She said he hit her.

    18. JR

      She wrote an article which turned out she didn't write the article, the ACLU wrote the article.

    19. GU

      What?

    20. JR

      Yeah. The ACLU ghostwrote the article in exchange for her donating money-

    21. GU

      Yeah.

    22. JR

      ... that she never gave them.

    23. SG

      (laughs)

    24. GU

      Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that was good.

    25. JR

      She pledged it.

    26. SG

      Pledged.

    27. GU

      Yeah, pledge. Pledge is not a promise.

    28. SG

      It's a cleaner. What a good promise.

    29. JR

      Did you see that, that woman interviewing her after the fact? She did an interview after the court was over and it was even worse.

    30. GU

      No, I didn't see it. What'd she say? Oh, it's the best.

  7. 12:5815:36

    Woke backlash, workplace petitions, and comedy-world ‘bullying’ dynamics

    1. JR

      Well, it just exposes the, the weirdness of woke 'cause it's not consistent or logical. Doesn't, it doesn't make any sense sometimes.

    2. SG

      Right.

    3. GU

      It's a team.

    4. SG

      It's what you choose.

    5. GU

      It's just a team.

    6. JR

      Well yeah, it is, it is.

    7. GU

      They can't figure it out.

    8. JR

      It's also people that are cowards and they're terrified of someone coming after them, so they wanna be on the right side that's the most aggressive.

    9. SG

      Uh-huh.

    10. JR

      And the most aggressive side is the woke side.

    11. SG

      But will it flip?

    12. JR

      It's flipping. It's flipping already, if you look at the elections. I mean, there's, there's places that were, like, historically Democrat that are going red now 'cause people are freaked out. They're freaked out at schools, they're freaked out about l- uh, ideology, they're freaked about the workplace and-

    13. SG

      Gas prices.

    14. JR

      And also, like, look at what happened with SpaceX. SpaceX just, uh, a bunch of employees just organized to try to... They wanted to do something about Elon Musk, try to get Elon Musk to step down from space.

    15. SG

      (laughs)

    16. JR

      Literally something he founded.

    17. GU

      It's fucking low- low to nothing.

    18. JR

      They tried to get him... They were saying that he's, uh, he's damaging them by being on Twitter and they were trying to get people to sign this petition. And so they-

    19. GU

      Are you crazy, going after your boss publicly?

    20. JR

      ... f- they fired, they fired the people and they said that they were bullying people to try to get them to sign a petition that they didn't wanna sign. So, they-

    21. GU

      Oh, right.

    22. JR

      ... w- which is what they do. They scare people.

    23. GU

      You should sign this. You should sign it. They're like, ugh.

    24. JR

      Yeah, be on the right side of history. They thought they could push him out.

    25. SG

      Yeah.

    26. JR

      You know, they're like, "What he's doing with, with Twitter is wrong." And...

    27. GU

      The people that... They were doing this, uh, they protested Louie at some comedy club, all the local comics. And then when it was o- like, shouldn't, don't support this club. And then, uh, and then afterwards they're like signing up for spots at the club and the owner was like, "No."

    28. SG

      You're mean.

    29. JR

      (laughs)

    30. GU

      You guys told people not to support my business.

  8. 15:3618:29

    Marjorie Taylor Greene, QAnon, and why conspiracies ‘end at the Jews’

    1. JR

      She's QAnon nuts. Alex Jones told me he was partying with her.

    2. SG

      (laughs)

    3. GU

      Jesus Christ. (laughs)

    4. JR

      They all went to dinner and had drinks.

    5. GU

      Who is she? Who is she?

    6. She says she's wild.

    7. (laughs)

    8. I believe it. She does anal, no doubt about it.

    9. She is wild, dude.

    10. JR

      You think so?

    11. GU

      Oh, she is a freak.

    12. JR

      Ass to mouth, yes or no?

    13. GU

      Yeah, easily. Jewish space laser-

    14. (laughs)

    15. ... right up the pooper.

    16. Who is she?

    17. JR

      What did you say, Jewish space lasers?

    18. SG

      That's her thing.

    19. GU

      Didn't you say that Jews had space lasers or something?

    20. JR

      She's wild.

    21. SG

      She actually said that publicly, that Jews have space lasers.

    22. GU

      She got hit... I got some friends that succumb to Q, also.

    23. SG

      Listen... Really?

    24. GU

      Yeah, it's the best.

    25. JR

      No, they don't.

    26. GU

      Yeah.

    27. SG

      Really?

    28. GU

      They, they believe Q.

    29. It's the best.

    30. Now they're like, "Fuck."

  9. 18:2921:49

    19. JR

      Who back in the day, like he, he dropped acid and then all of a sudden he started doing these like really weird surrealist cartoons. And art, beautiful. And the women all had like giant legs and giant asses. Like that's his thing.

    20. GU

      Real buxom, buxom.

    21. JR

      Yeah. And so a lot of women were like really happy that he did this because he made them hot. Right. Because like he was a superstar back in, like the '70s. Really?

    22. GU

      He was on late night talk shows.

    23. JR

      Yes. What?

    24. GU

      Yeah.

    26. GU

      Yeah, the laid back, like, uh-

    27. JR

      He moved to France-

    28. GU

      ... keyboard trucker.

    29. JR

      But if, if he lived today like he would last for like five minutes before he'd be canceled. Like look at- Whoa! Look at how he's banging that girl and choking her. That's hot.

    30. GU

      Wow, that's pretty hot.

  10. 21:4929:47

    Cigars, bottles, ‘no bosses’ life, and the anatomy of nonstop riffing

    1. JR

      I took a, I took six weeks off drinking. How long are you willing to drink? We won't need the case. Good for you. I, I very admire- R.E.'s. I very much admire your work ethic, the way you handled preparing for your special. It was very impressive.

    2. GU

      Thanks. (laughs)

    3. JR

      He didn't do any boozing. (laughs) I offered him weed, he said nay. He said nay to the weed.

    4. GU

      Wow, nay to the weed?

    5. JR

      Why? I drank some NAs while, while I was here in Austin. Not alcoholic. During the week at the creek. Yeah, I got to blend in.

    6. GU

I thought it was a novelty cigar. Yeah, but it's a damn good cigar. It's very good. Like I go right to him. He knows his shit, you know. Cigars are like wine or like anything else. Like the people that really... Like Bobby.

      And so, uh, me and my- my friend Jimmy was like, we were like 14. And, uh, I walked up this, uh, this street and, uh, there was a karate school, a Tae Kwon Do school. And I went up the stairs, and right when I was going up the stairs, there was this guy named John Lee. Oh, yeah, get it, it's Jimmy. And he was, uh, national champion. He was training for the World, uh, Cup. And I- I got to watch him prepare, like, I just walked in as a, you know, a bystander.

    11. GU

      Yeah.

    12. JR

      And I- I walked in, like, at the peak of his training, at the top of his game, you know, national champion. I got to see what he could do. I was like, "Holy fuck, I wanna do that."

    20. When you were fu-... With any video you post of you fucking hitting the bag, I'm like, "Goddamn, dude."

    21. JR

      Huh. Yeah. It's fun.

    22. GU

      No, you've never seen a leg kick until you see him kick Eleanor in the butt. (laughs)

    23. JR

      (laughs)

    24. GU

      (laughs)

    25. She would, like, do it, and he would go, "Woo-ka!"

    26. JR

      (laughs)

    27. GU

      Who?

    28. Eleanor Kerrigan. It would make this (claps) sound.

    29. JR

      It was- Oh, shit. That was with the foot though. That was more of, like, a loud noise-

    30. GU

      Yeah.

    13. JR

      You didn't know that?

    14. GU

      No.

    15. That was my favorite Burr bit.

    16. All I knew is he liked to shut his chest shirt off.

    17. JR

      He had a bit about Hitler?

    18. GU

      Burr, Burr had a bit about Hitler. And then he's like, "Can you imagine getting in a limo-"

    19. JR

      ... with an even angrier Hitler after that race.

    20. SG

      Right.

    21. JR

      Like, after he sat there and watched-

    22. SG

      Oh, wow.

    Assassins with acoustic guitars: Hinckley songs, Manson music, and MKUltra rabbit holes

    1. JR

      Speaking of assassinating, you know, Hinckley just got out of jail.

    2. SG

    3. JR

      He's completely-

    4. GU

      Hinckley's the GOAT, dude.

    5. JR

      Well, he's, he's doing-

    6. SG

      (laughs)

    7. JR

      ... shows but the first venue that had him in Brooklyn, they canceled.

    8. SG

      I saw that.

    9. JR

      'Cause they were getting so many death threats.

    10. SG

      I had tickets.

    11. JR

      Who? Old people?

    12. SG

      (laughs)

    13. GU

      I, I would see Hinckley. That'd be hilarious.

    14. SG

      He's a good musician. His, his songs are pretty solid.

    15. JR

      Really? Wait, what?

    16. SG

      (laughs)

    22. JR

      Now, Hinckley's good at singing? Yeah.

    23. SG

      It's solid, yeah. It's like singer songwriter type stuff.

    24. JR

      You're not thinking about Manson? No, no, no.

    25. SG

      Marilyn?

    26. JR

      No. Manson has good songs. Here we go. Here we go.

      Oh, really?

    28. JR

      Here we go. Let's get ch- let's get some. Oh. Let's get some John Hinckley.

    Conspiracy overload: Oklahoma City bombing, Tower 7 arguments, and the unreliability of eyewitnesses

    1. GU

      True. (laughs) No, you MKUltra'd him. (laughs) By the way, you ever see what happened to that cop in Oklahoma City?

    2. JR

      Oh, no.

    3. GU

      What cop? The shooter? What? No, this, this big fucking black dude that was ... He was like the first cop on the scene. Boy, did they suicide that guy.

    4. JR

      What are you talking about?

    5. GU

      Oh.

    6. JR

      Uh, there's a cop that was like first on the scene at Oklahoma City that like, they- Timothy McVeigh? The, the bombing?

    7. GU

      Yeah, yeah, yeah. But they, they said it was a suicide. You know.

    8. JR

      Terrence Hickey-

    9. GU

      Don't look into that. Don't look into that dude's autopsy.

    10. JR

      ... was a sergeant in the Oklahoma City Police Department, who was one of the first responders at the site of the Oklahoma City bombing, rescuing at least four people. He died a year after his rescue service. Hickey was found to have committed suicide.

    11. GU

      That's a suicide.

    12. JR

      Oh, uh-oh.

    13. GU

      They found, like- Why? Dude, like why, why not believe it? Uh, look up his autopsy, if you can, Joe. It's wild. What did he say? A year later he was talking?

    14. JR

      Well, just find an article that says he ... And, and don't find any that refutes it, please.

    15. GU

      Yeah. This is fun. (laughs) So he was at the ... He was at the bombing, and then he saw what really happened.

    16. JR

      Apa- apparently, apparently he got into the ca- uh, he, apparently when he, the first thing he said to his wife was like, "They're not telling the story at all-"

    17. GU

      Oh, boy.

    18. JR

      "... of what happened." And then he got fucking ... Well, you know, there was multiple bombs-

    19. GU

      But why did they wait a year for him to talk?

    20. JR

      ... allegedly removed from that building. And the, the, when you look at the way the building blew up, this is like one of the granddaddies of conspiracy theories, is uh, the Oklahoma City bombing, that there's more to the story. Because if you look at the building itself, what does, what does it say there, Jim?

    21. GU

      Hold on, I'm just gonna wait 'til you finish that one.

    22. JR

      Okay. When you look at the building itself, um, they said it was a fertilizer bomb, which they do make, they're real. And that they parked this truck at the base of the building and blew it up. But if you look at the building, the building's blown outward.

    23. GU

      Whoa.

    24. JR

      Like it's blown out. Now, I'm obviously not a fucking bomb expert, but I talked to one. And he-

    25. GU

      You should see your act. (laughs)

    26. JR

      (laughs) He can't stop himself.

    27. GU

      Keep going.

    28. JR

      Ba-dum-bum.

    29. GU

      I need some levity. (laughs)

    30. JR

      If you look at ... If you ... It did need levity.
