    2. JR

      Boys.

    3. SG

      Yes.

    4. JR

      Salute.

    5. SG

      Hey.

    6. JR

      Bud Light came all the way back. (laughs)

    7. SG

      Oh, dude. Cheers.

    8. MM

      They did. (laughs)

    9. JR

      To life, baby.

    10. MM

      Chase the water.

    11. JR

      They came all the way back.

    12. SG

      Matt, do it responsibly.

    13. MM

      I can't. I'm not drinking. I can't.

    14. JR

      Are you a non-drinker now?

    15. MM

      No, I drink, I just unfortunately have a, uh, bad tummy. Can't have gluten.

    16. SG

      Oh, yeah.

    17. JR

      Oh.

    18. MM

      Had- I've had it since I was, like, 21.

    19. JR

      Is it a Crohn's thing, or is it-

    20. MM

      No, it's like celiac. If I have it, I'll get it.

    21. JR

      Oh.

    22. MM

      Like, I won't die, I'll just start burping every... you know.

    23. JR

      Celiac is rough, man. I have a buddy who didn't know he had it until, uh, he w- I think he was, like, 25 or something like that he got diagnosed.

    24. SG

      Yeah?

    25. MM

      Yep.

    26. SG

      Yeah. It's about when you got it, right?

    27. MM

      21, yeah.

    28. SG

      Yeah.

    29. JR

      Well, he, you know, probably had it his whole life, just was just, like, just felt like shit.

    30. SG

      Yeah, maybe I have it. (laughs)

  2. 15:0030:00

    Yeah. …

    1. JR

    2. MM

      Yeah.

    3. JR

      There's levels in this world.

    4. MM

      Yeah. That's, uh, that's scary. Being that poor is scary. But it was nice. I was there. It's like Monopoly money. It's like... If it's not your currency... I was out there-

    5. SG

      Oh, yeah.

    6. MM

      ... just doling that stuff out, and it's like-

    7. SG

      You love our currency.

    8. MM

      I do.

    9. SG

      We were in Australia...

    10. JR

      (laughs)

    11. SG

      Dude, we were in Australia, and Matt was like, "This is USD."

    12. MM

      I tried to pay with $20 in US money.

    13. SG

      He tried to pay with US dollars. (laughs)

    14. MM

      And they were like, "We don't take that." I'm like, "Come on, man." It's like-

    15. SG

      "Come on, man, this is 10 times your money."

    16. JR

      (laughs)

    17. MM

      (laughs)

    18. SG

      It's like, dude, this is American.

    19. MM

      I was treating them like-

    20. SG

      We're Australians. (laughs)

    21. MM

      I was treating them like I was in, like, Honduras. I was like, "Yo, here's a 20 bucks." And they're like, "Well, we can't take this." I'm like, "Nah, y- they don't give you that. That's, that's good money."

    22. JR

      Some money, I've l-... They have, like, clear little holes in them, and there's, like, little holograms in it. It's like-

    23. SG

      It's all bullshit, dude.

    24. MM

      It's fake.

    25. SG

      American money is the only thing that matters.

    26. JR

      Isn't it wild, though, that no one's-

    27. MM

      For sure.

    28. JR

      ... figured out how to completely accurately recreate money? It's just pieces of p-... Like, they had to really stay ahead of the curve.

    29. SG

      Yeah.

    30. JR

      For the counterfeiters-

  3. 30:0045:00

    Rough. …

    1. MM

    2. Rough.

    3. JR

      Exactly. Well, if you're a woman and you got a poodle, you know, what the fuck?

    4. MM

      Don't bring that thing around.

    5. Poodles are working, poodles are a working breed.

    6. JR

      (laughs)

    7. MM

      A big poodle.

    8. JR

      A real big one.

    9. MM

      A big poodle, yeah.

    10. JR

      Yeah.

    11. MM

      Those things are nasty.

    12. What are they doing?

    13. They're big. A big poodle would-

    14. What do they work on?

    15. ... bird hunting, probably.

    16. SG

      Poodles?

    17. MM

      Yeah, poodles are bird hunters.

    18. SG

      Is that what they are?

    19. MM

      I'm pretty sure. A, a big poodle, not a little Euro- like, a little-

    20. SG

      Right, right.

    21. MM

      ... toy dog, yeah.

    22. SG

      Toy, yeah. Yeah.

    23. JR

      I've heard they're actually good watchdogs, the big poodles.

    24. MM

      Dude, I'm telling you, the big poodles are not pussy to be shit.

    25. SG

      God, everything the French do is so good.

    26. MM

      I was, I was a dog walker, dude.

    27. JR

      (laughs)

    28. SG

      Every single thing, dude. I- imagine being, like, an aristocrat with a poodle.

    29. MM

      Dude, they're sexual dogs too.

    30. SG

      Everything the French do is sexual, dude.

  4. 45:0058:52

    And we had not...…

    1. JR

      sad.

    2. SG

      And we had not... We had just started doing comedy. Like, we were bad at comedy.

    3. MM

      Oh, no.

    4. JR

      Dude, I did... And I just did just material.

    5. SG

      Yeah.

    6. JR

      I went up there and did, like, straight 10 minutes of no mic material, just flat line.

    7. SG

      (laughs)

    8. JR

      And they're like, "All right, Shane, how about you get..." I think Shane was-

    9. SG

      Dude-

    10. JR

      I think Shane looked at me, like... And I gave it to you?

    11. SG

      I tagged you. Yeah. I was like, "Let's both do it."

    12. JR

      Oh, I'll help.

    13. MM

      (laughs)

    14. JR

      I was dying, dude. And then, yeah, you went up and just did the sensible thing of talking and figuring out what's up with them.

    15. SG

      Yeah, I was like, "This is weird. Why are we doing this?"

    16. JR

      (laughs)

    17. SG

      Why the fuck would you guys hire me and Matt to humiliate ourselves? (laughs)

    18. JR

      It was crazy.

    19. SG

      I did a black lady, uh, Mother's Day show.

    20. JR

      Oh, yeah.

    21. SG

      In north Philly. This guy just hi- hired me to do comedy in front of a brunch for just, for real, like, 14 black ladies for Mother's Day. Same thing. I just stood at the head of the table. It was crazy.

    22. MM

      It's a wild move.

    23. SG

      Just died.

    24. JR

      Eh, it is.

    25. SG

      And they were just being very nice. They're like, "You're doing great."

    26. MM

      That's kind of cool.

    27. SG

      In the middle of just a Mother's Day brunch.

    28. MM

      Would you... Would you just switch stuff up at all? Or, like-

    29. SG

      Oh, no. (laughs)

    30. MM

      (laughs)
