    4. JR

      Good to see you, my friend.

    5. TW

      Man, I'm glad you have me back, dog.

    6. JR

      I'm glad you came back.

    7. TW

      (laughs) You know-

    8. JR

      It was good seeing you last night.

    9. TW

      ... 'cause I was like, uh... 'Cause somebody said, "Hey, Joe got a new club." I was like, "You do?" And just... I, I just sent you a text like, "Hey, man, let me do your club."

    10. JR

      (laughs)

    11. TW

      And you hit me back, "Okay." I'm like, "Well, all right. Well, what's up?" (laughs)

    12. JR

      Yeah. Oh, I'm excited. This weekend.

    13. TW

      Yes.

    14. JR

      That's gonna be fun.

    15. TW

      It is, man.

    16. JR

      You're gonna love it.

    17. TW

      Yeah, well, th- you got... You done put the village right down here in Texas, man.

    18. JR

      Yeah.

    19. TW

      Like, like, back in the day when they had the comedy club here-

    20. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    21. TW

      ... come... We'd go to the Boston Comedy Club, go to Celtic, go to, duh, duh, duh, duh. All of that. That's how it is. It's just bouncing around. So...

    22. JR

      (sighs) Yeah, we got five clubs on one street.

    23. TW

      Bang. But you got the-

    24. JR

      Yeah, the Mothership.

    25. TW

      ... you got the Madison Square Garden.

    26. JR

      We got the Mothership.

    27. TW

      Yeah, you got the Mothership. I said (laughs) ... I said to somebody... I said, "I'm going to Austin to do the Mothership." He says, "Wow, that's gonna be a long flight. You flying through Boston to go to Africa?" I'm like, "No."

    28. JR

      What? (laughs)

    29. TW

      Yeah. (laughs)

    30. JR

      (laughs)

  2. 15:0030:00

    (laughs) …

    1. JR

      You, you have to be the craziest psychopath of all time. You're lighting the woods on fire-

    2. TW

      (laughs)

    3. JR

      ... to get rid of some chemicals.

    4. TW

      I'm think, I'm thinking maybe it wasn't their woods that they set on fire.

    5. JR

      Somebody else's woods.

    6. TW

      Someon- no. Someone else from somewhere else.

    7. JR

      Someone set someone-

    8. TW

      Some... Yeah.

    9. JR

      Yeah, maybe.

    10. TW

      We'll get those motherfuckers. Yeah. (laughs)

    11. JR

      Right. But why the chemicals? That's the question. Like, if it is the chemicals, what kind of, uh, conspiracy is that? Go to 4Chan.

    12. GU

      (laughs)

    13. JR

      They know.

    14. TW

      Wasn't, wasn't it near where the balloon was?

    15. GU

      I think, yeah.

    16. TW

      Remember the balloon?

    17. JR

      The balloon was like-

    18. TW

      It w- it was right in that area.

    19. JR

      Where was the balloon flying over?

    20. GU

      There was a few places.

    21. TW

      Yeah.

    22. GU

      There's nor-... It started in the northwest and started making it across the country I think, right?

    23. JR

      They said they had a bunch of those while, while Trump was in office and they didn't tell him about it-

    24. GU

      Yeah.

    25. JR

      ... 'cause they were worried he was gonna shoot them down. (laughs)

    26. TW

      (laughs)

    27. GU

      Well, they also showed that laser, that footage of that laser shooting down on like the Hawaiian coastline.

    28. JR

      Yeah, what was that?

    29. GU

      That makes me think of the fires, just like if whatever that is-

    30. JR

      Oh, God.

  3. 30:0045:00

    Yeah. …

    1. JR

      So are there lions like that right now that are there? See if you can find like male lions out there with no manes. Wow.

    2. TW

      Yeah.

    3. JR

      That's interesting.

    4. TW

      Yeah.

    5. JR

      I didn't know that existed.

    6. TW

      Why, have you guys been watching, uh, Chimp Empire?

    7. JR

      Yes.

    8. TW

      Man, that is the-

    9. JR

      I have the guy in it who directed it.

    10. TW

      Yeah, that is, well, how did it, how many years did that take?

    11. JR

      Oh, look at them. Oh, well here's the deal. They had set up, uh, scientists had set up research there 30 years ago.

    12. TW

      Wow.

    13. JR

      So they had been continually studying these chimps, and they had like very specific rules of engagement. You can't ever eat in front of them. You can't be closer than 20 feet.... or was it 20 yards? 20 yards. You keep them closer-

    14. TW

      Well, they were actually-

    15. JR

      ... than 20 yards.

    16. TW

      They were cam-

    17. JR

      They were right there with them. So they're right there with these chimps-

    18. TW

      Oh.

    19. JR

      ... man. And so they're, like, filming everything and the chimps get accustomed to the people being there because the people never interact with the chimps.

    20. TW

      Yeah.

    21. JR

      And if the chimps walk towards the people, the people just back away. And, again, you can never eat in front of them.

    22. TW

      No.

    23. JR

      Ever.

    24. TW

      I tell you-

    25. JR

      'Cause they just steal your food and fuck you up.

    26. TW

      What blew me away was when they ate monkeys.

    27. JR

      Oh, yeah.

    28. TW

      I was like, "Dude, that's... Okay." (laughs)

    29. JR

      They eat a lot of monkeys.

    30. TW

      (laughs) It was like... Yeah. Yeah.

  4. 45:001:00:00

    Yeah. …

    1. GU

      yeah.

    2. TW

      Yeah.

    3. JR

      I never watched that show. I heard it's really good.

    4. TW

      Yeah. When, when you hear his voice, you gonna go, "Oh, shit." See, look at Johnny.

    5. JR

      Oh, look at that.

    6. TW

      (laughs)

    7. JR

      They were funny together, man.

    8. TW

      Yeah.

    9. JR

      Red Johnny, the round guy, was... It was a funny combination too.

    10. TW

      Yeah. "If I knew it was gonna be this type of party."

    11. JR

      (groans)

    12. TW

      Remember they used to say that?

    13. JR

      Yeah. It's funny when you, uh, know guys as long as we have.

    14. TW

      Yeah.

    15. JR

      You know?

    16. TW

      Yeah, look at them.

    17. JR

      Look at them. Kids. I mean, Tony, I've known you for, like, 30 years.

    18. TW

      Yeah, but I was-

    19. JR

      Isn't that wild?

    20. TW

      Uh, what was... When I first came to New York, what was it? Uh, '91. I just... '91, I had just come... I just-

    21. JR

      Yeah.

    22. TW

      ... got released from the military. And I... And that one week I did Caroline's Comedy Hour and Def Jam.

    23. JR

      Wow.

    24. TW

      And I was like, "Boy, this Caroline's is gonna work out for me." (laughs)

    25. JR

      (laughs)

    26. TW

      I had no idea Def Jam was gonna blow like that, man.

    27. JR

      Yeah.

    28. TW

      Uh, so... And I... Well, yeah, speaking of animals, I had done something on Showtime. It's called the Leslie Nielsen National Lampoon Comedy Playoffs. Right? And it was... They pick a comedian from all over the country, go out to Vegas. We stayed in the Sahara Hotel. Because my last name is Woods, I had a suite. So, the, the other guys had a regular room, but I had... I had a suite. And, um... But on that show I tell a joke about Bigfoot. And I never saw Bigfoot, but I was... We would tr- We were on training. You do these training where you go make maps and all this shit. And we heard him.

    29. JR

      You heard Bigfoot?

    30. TW

      Heard Bigfoot. I heard him.

  5. 1:00:001:09:28

    Whoa. …

    1. GU

      but you're gonna have to figure out how to balance again 'cause it makes up a point of balance for you.

    2. TW

      Whoa.

    3. JR

      Wow.

    4. TW

      Remember the Pope of Greenwich Village?

    5. JR

      Yeah, I do.

    6. TW

      He said, "May- (laughs)

    7. JR

      "I cut my thumbs off, Charlie."

    8. TW

      ... fuck you!" (laughs)

    9. JR

      "Charlie."

    10. TW

      (laughs)

    11. JR

      "They cut my thumbs, Charlie."

    12. TW

      (laughs) That was-

    13. JR

      Yeah.

    14. TW

      ... good acting right there.

    15. JR

      Oh, my God, that movie was amazing.

    16. TW

      Yeah.

    17. JR

      Yeah. Jon Jones fucked his, his, uh, big toe up in a fight with Chael Sonnen. He beat the shit outta Chael Sonnen, and then got up and was doing the post-fight interview and looked down and saw that his toe was, like, flipped upside down.

    18. TW

      Oh.

    19. JR

      His big toe was. And-

    20. TW

      Well, did he faint?

    21. JR

      No, no, he... we got him, we sat him down. He's like, "Oh, boy." And I continued to interview him.

    22. TW

      Wait, hold up, like, like this.

    23. JR

      His toe had flipped around.

    24. TW

      This?

    25. JR

      His toe had flipped around because that's how much pressure he was putting into trying to beat-

    26. TW

      Motherfucker.

    27. JR

      ... Chael Sonnen up. Like, uh, yeah, his toe was fucked up.

    28. TW

      Ah.

    29. JR

      So we got him to sit down.

    30. TW

      You can see, ooh, ooh, mama.
