    8. SG

      So much.

    9. JR

      You see that wild shit that's going on in Scotland where they're, they're targeting comedians for hate crime laws?

    10. SG

      No.

    11. AS

      Still?

    12. JR

      Yeah, yeah, yeah.

    14. JR

      Keep tr-

    15. AS

      Count Chocula? Count Dracula?

    16. JR

      Well, yeah, that was the si- same place with that guy, Dankula, right?

    17. AS

      Count Dankula?

    18. JR

      Yeah.

    19. SG

      Dankula?

    20. JR

      He got in trouble. You know the story?

    21. SG

      Sounds like a weed head.

    22. AS

      Do you remember that one?

    23. SG

      No.

    24. JR

      He got in trouble for making his dog do a Hitler.

    25. AS

      He turned his- (laughs)

    26. SG

      Oh, that. (laughs)

    27. AS

      He trained his dog to go "Heil Hitler," just do it to fuck with his girlfriend. (laughs)

    28. JR

      Yeah. German shepherd.

    29. SG

      You got in trouble for that?

    30. JR

      No, it was a little pug.

  2. 2:325:08

    From Scotland to Belgium: private memes, arrests, and mass-deleting the group chat

    1. JR

      And so these fucking kooks have decided they're gonna t- target people and put them in jail. Did you hear what happened in Belgium? The dude got a year in jail for memes that were shared, memes that they shared in a private chat.

    2. AS

      No. What?

    3. JR

      Yes.

    4. SG

      Oh, no. We-

    5. AS

      Dude, the mugshots from this are going to be hilarious.

    6. JR

      We saw the memes.

    7. SG

      We go straight to the gulag.

    8. AS

      Yeah.

    9. JR

      The memes are nothing.

    10. AS

      Wait, we saw the memes?

    11. JR

      Yeah, you can see the memes.

    12. SG

      Oh.

    13. JR

      You can find- the memes are online, but-

    14. AS

      They're not that funny?

    15. JR

      No, one of them was, like, a Hitler one that was, like, anti-Hitler. It was, like, an anti-Nazi meme.

    16. SG

      Hmm.

    17. JR

      Like, and this was one of the ones that was cited as being one of the offenses.

    18. AS

      Damn.

    19. JR

      It's fu- in a fucking private chat.

    20. SG

      Yeah.

    21. JR

      Imagine if our protector hearts-

    22. AS

      A private chat. How'd they get in?

    23. SG

      Oh my God.

    24. AS

      Had, before the show started, the conversation's cut out.

    25. JR

      Right now we should delete our data right now for-

    26. AS

      I think-

    27. JR

      ... the purpose of this podcast.

    28. SG

      We probably should.

    29. AS

      ... we should, we should have a, we should have a mass delete.

    30. JR

      Three, two, one, go. (laughs) The podcast is worse.

  3. 5:088:44

    The Pelosi hammer attack video: rumors, reality, and why it’s so disturbing

    1. JR

      ... is Paul Pelosi that he only had one hand on the dude because his other hand was on his drink?

    2. SG

      Yeah. In his underwear.

    3. JR

      Like how much faith did he have-

    4. AS

      Smash that drink in that guy's face.

    5. JR

      ... that he could get away with things?

    6. SG

      Well, they knew each other clearly.

    7. AS

      They knew each other.

    8. JR

      Do you think so?

    9. SG

      Oh, yeah.

    10. JR

      I don't...

    11. AS

      I don't know.

    12. SG

      They were flying around.

    13. JR

      I don't... The guy broke into the house with a hammer.

    14. NA

      Seems like Paulo was trying to keep it chill.

    15. JR

      Yeah. I don't think they knew each other.

    16. SG

      Oh.

    17. JR

      No, I think that was the-

    18. AS

      Oh, yeah, that's the rumor.

    19. JR

      ... that was the rumor that he was a gay lover.

    20. SG

      That's what I heard.

    21. JR

      Yeah, no, no, no.

    22. AS

      Yeah, it was fun. It was fun, it was funny to believe in.

    23. JR

      This, there's a video of the guy using the hammer he hit him in the fucking head with to break into the house, like just banging on the back door. So he gets in the house-

    24. AS

      It sounds like ex-girlfriend shit though.

    25. SG

      Exactly.

    26. AS

      (laughs)

    27. JR

      Does it though? It's just like, I think it's a schizophrenic in your house with a hammer.

    28. AS

      Big Nancy Pelosi was like, "You said you wouldn't embarrass me."

    29. SG

      Yeah, it's a gay quarrel.

    30. JR

      Oh.

  4. 8:4412:14

    Insider trading as ‘legal corruption’: Pelosi stocks and congressional returns

    1. JR

      Th- they definitely stole a lot of money.

    2. GU

      I follow her stock tips.

    3. JR

      That stock tip thing.

    4. MN

      (laughs)

    5. JR

      I say stole money, what I should be saying is engaged in insider trading, that's legal.

    6. MN

      Yeah.

    7. GU

      There you go.

    8. JR

      And it's just nuts that it's legal.

    9. MN

      Yeah.

    10. JR

      It's nuts that they can pass laws and they know the laws are coming, and then they buy up stock and then they get ... paid. (laughs)

    11. MN

      I-

    12. GU

      Yeah, but who's... They can't be stopped. Who's gonna stop them?

    13. MN

      They can't be stopped. They would have to stop them.

    14. GU

      Other than a hero-

    15. JR

      (sighs)

    16. GU

      Not a hammer. (laughs)

    17. MN

      (laughs)

    18. JR

      (laughs)

    19. GU

      Other than one heroic schizophrenic.

    20. JR

      (laughs)

    21. GU

      (laughs)

    22. MN

      (laughs)

    23. JR

      (laughs)

    24. MN

      I mean, how do you stop them?

    25. GU

      Bro.

    26. MN

      They make the rules.

    27. JR

      That's gotta be a-

    28. MN

      They make the rules.

    29. JR

      ... weird feeling to know that everybody knows that you got all your money by being a corrupt politician and you're just wandering around.

    30. MN

      Yeah. Just like, "What are you gonna do about it?"

  5. 12:1414:29

    JFK, presidential libido, and assassination rabbit holes (Zapruder included)

    1. GU

      Isn't it funny that everybody considers him like our greatest of all time president?

    2. MN

      Hey, look at the young hands.

    3. JR

      Whoa. She's younger than Monica Lewinsky.

    4. GU

      She's 17.

    5. JR

      She's 17.

    6. GU

      Peblosi.

    7. JR

      Wow. (laughs)

    8. AS

      She's 17, Mark, you sex pervert. (laughs)

    9. SG

      Oh, was that right?

    10. JR

      Do you think-

    11. SG

      Well, that was legal then.

    12. JR

      Do you think JFK-

    13. AS

      She's still older than us.

    14. JR

      True. (laughs)

    15. AS

      Do you really think JFK was banging 17-year-olds?

    16. JR

      Yeah.

    17. SG

      Yes.

    18. AS

      Yeah, probably.

    19. SG

      100%.

    20. JR

      Wasn't frowned upon. Is that an insane... Imagine bringing that up in a history class. Imagine being in like a history class-

    21. SG

      Kids, go.

    22. JR

      ... at JFK-

    23. SG

      That's a cool teacher.

    24. JR

      ... and telling the teacher, "You know what I think?" (laughs)

    25. SG

      Yeah. Yeah.

    26. AS

      Wasn't he probably, though, banging a lot of 17-year-olds? (laughs) Like, oh... Let's get back to the Bay of Pigs.

    27. JR

      Didn't he literally- (laughs)

    28. AS

      That's what I'm saying. Let's get... Let's talk about this.

    29. SG

      That's a good name for his pool, the Bay of Pigs.

    30. JR

      Didn't he literally fuck everything that moved? (laughs) It's kinda crazy but to be like the leader of a country like that, it's almost like a prerequisite. You have to be a poonhound. That's how you... The only reason why you have the ambition to get to that spot in the first place.

  6. 14:2918:19

    Witch trials and historical brutality: drowning myths, burning, and torture museums

    1. AS

      The witch trials, the witch trials were the wildest shit of all time.

    2. SG

      They're witches. I got nothing.

    3. AS

      They didn't even give you a lawyer back then. That's like pretty new.

    4. JR

      Yeah.

    5. AS

      Where they have to give you a lawyer. So they're just like, "I can read, you can't. Good luck with your trial."

    6. SG

      (laughs)

    7. JR

      I think mostly they drowned them too.

    8. AS

      Yeah.

    9. JR

      It wasn't really a burning thing.

    10. SG

      Yeah.

    11. JR

      The burning thing is kind of a misnomer, right?

    12. SG

      Edinburgh.

    13. AS

      Is that, is that right, Mark?

    14. JR

      I don't know, man.

    15. AS

      The drowning thing they used to do, for sure-

    16. JR

      He's just pointing at me.

    17. AS

      ... was, uh-

    18. JR

      They definitely drowned them, right?

    19. AS

      They had this thing where they would put you in, like lock you to a chair and throw you in a pond.

    20. JR

      Whoa.

    21. SG

      Oh.

    22. AS

      And then they'd be like, "If she's a witch, she's gonna get out."

    23. JR

      Right.

    24. AS

      Oh my God. And then no one ever got out. No one ever got... But also like-

    25. SG

      Also they were just like, "Jesus Christ."

    26. JR

      ... like, "Oh, shit."

    27. AS

      Also like if she was a witch, she would just leave. (laughs)

    28. JR

      If they floated there, it proven to be a witch. If they drowned, too bad, but at least they weren't a witch. (laughs)

    29. SG

      (laughs)

    30. AS

      As of now, that leaves it open.

  7. 18:1930:10

    Ergot, LSD myths, and MKUltra: from skin absorption to Manson and Jolly West

    1. JR

      I'm always... When they start dismissing psychedelic stuff, I'm always like, "How do you know for sure, for sure?"... because if ergot does exist, and ergot is a thing that-

    2. GU

      Yeah, I don't know why they-

    3. JR

      ... grows on wheat-

    4. GU

      ... ruled it out.

    5. JR

      ... and it's really com- if a bunch of people are just fucking freaking out about things, fascina- do the cultural fascination of LSD during this period. What does it say?

    6. GU

      It was in the 70s. So, so this theory came out in the 70s, it said, so people were-

    7. JR

      The theory came out. Like what-

    8. GU

      Definitely.

    9. JR

      So when people started using acid-

    10. GU

      Right.

    11. JR

      ... the theory came out. See, I was under the impression that there was actual evidence of ergot and like samples that they got.

    12. GU

      Oh.

    13. I'm looking for that too. That's why-

    14. JR

      Okay.

    15. GU

      ... I found this by typing in evidence of ergot and LSD

    16. I might be mixed up-

    17. ... just to make sure.

    18. ... because I know they found evidence in-

    19. No, I've heard that story.

    20. Y- yeah, I've heard it, but I'm not sure if it's true. Um, but I, I know they found evidence for sure in these ancient pottery vessels. So they know these, like, people that were involved in the, like, Eleusinian mysteries and, uh, all, all that shit that was going down in Greece 2,000 plus years ago, they were tripping balls.

    21. It just says it led to this theory being put in the school curriculums as an explanation for the trials, but it's-

    22. No way. School curriculum's taught that?

    23. ... uh, I don't know that they have actual evidence of it, other than this-

    24. JR

      Interesting.

    25. GU

      ... being passed on.

    26. Think I'm done with acid. We got mushrooms. I don't need acid anymore.

    27. I'm the opposite.

    28. JR

      Dude!

    29. GU

      You like acid more?

    30. I've taken way more acid lately.

    Boeing whistleblower and ‘suicide’ skepticism: Assange, McAfee, and paranoia culture

    1. GU

      Hey, if we're doing this, what happened to the Boeing guy?

    2. JR

      Oh. ... oh, the Boeing guy realized that he's a piece of shit. (laughs)

    3. MN

      Let's- tell me what's going on.

    4. JR

      We talked about this on stage the other night.

    5. MN

      Yeah, we did figure that out.

    6. JR

      Uh, yeah, we talked about it on stage the other night.

    7. MN

      What?

    8. JR

      The Boeing guy realized, the guy who committed suicide realized that he did a terrible thing by accusing a company of cutting corners. (laughs) And he felt embarrassed-

    9. MN

      That he shamed this great company-

    10. JR

      (laughs) ... that has done so well for all of us. How many times have we flown on a Boeing plane?

    11. MN

      And killed himself? And he did the right thing.

    12. JR

      Boeing planes are amazing.

    13. MN

      And killed himself.

    14. JR

      He knew it.

    15. MN

      Mm-hmm.

    16. JR

      And he was like, "What have I done?" So he killed himself. But the wheels are falling off, doors are coming off. Planes are fucked right now. That's allegedly-

    17. MN

      (laughs) Our bed heads are falling off. (laughs)

    18. JR

      (laughs) ... Boeing whistleblower told friend not to believe suicide-

    19. MN

      That's a believed suicide.

    20. JR

      ... before he died. Oh, Christ. Okay. Oh, Jesus Christ.

    21. MN

      Hey, if somebody says, "I killed myself," that means they didn't kill themselves. Anytime you hear that though, you're like, "Are you about to kill yourself though?"

    22. JR

      (laughs) Yeah.

    23. MN

      (laughs) What an odd thing to say.

    24. JR

      Yeah, right? (laughs) Right? It is an odd thing to say. But it's not if you're Julian Assange.

    25. MN

      Yeah.

    26. JR

      Mm. Right? If you really think they're gonna whack you.

    27. MN

      That's what, uh, what's his name said too. McAfee.

    28. JR

      Yeah. A lot of those guys said that. Did they?

    29. MN

      McAfee is a wild boy.

    30. JR

      No, no, no, no.

    Post-9/11 fear systems and disasters: terror color alerts, California fires, and orange smoke

    1. SG

      No. I got an Amber Alert today. Did you guys get that one?

    2. GU

      Texas.

    3. JR

      Yeah, we get 'em all the time.

    4. GU

      Texas goes wild with Amber Alerts.

    5. Yeah.

    6. JR

      Yeah. You know what I don't miss about California?

    7. GU

      It's a really depressing way to start.

    8. JR

      The forest fires.

    9. GU

      Oh, yeah. The sudden fires.

    10. JR

      The fires were crazy in California.

    11. SG

      Yeah.

    12. JR

      You ain't never seen anything like it.

    13. SG

      They're here now.

    14. JR

      Yeah, bullshit fires.

    15. SG

      Because they took everything.

    16. JR

      Listen, they, they're, they're bad, but not ... They're not bad like it is in LA because it doesn't rain there.

    17. SG

      Right.

    18. JR

      So everything ... Like, you know they have those things, like the colors for fires?

    19. GU

      Oh, yeah.

    20. JR

      It was the fire warning. It was always red.

    21. GU

      It was always red.

    22. JR

      It was always red. It's not red for, like, three months out of the year.

    23. GU

      Like, do not smoke a cigarette on Laurel Canyon.

    24. JR

      If you're an asshole-

    25. GU

      That's like, do not. Yeah.

    26. JR

      These fucking assholes that throw cigarettes out the window when they're done with them, these littering cocksuckers.

    27. GU

      Yeah, if you listen-

    28. You're not even allowed to smoke in your car with the windows up on the way up Laurel Canyon.

    29. JR

      You're not?

    30. GU

      Yeah, when it's, like, dry.

    Nicotine ‘loosies,’ drinking math, and comedians’ nightlife strategies

    1. JR

      Jamie, w- why, why are you so hostile today to your boys?

    2. MN

      Hey, Ari, young Ari, could you hand me a beer, please?

    3. GU

      There we go.

    4. MN

      Sure, Shaniel. Sure, (laughs) Fit Shane. (laughs)

    5. JR

      Hey, I've heard about... There's these things, Shane, there's these things called Loosies. You ever heard of a Loosie?

    6. MN

      Oh, I know about Loosies.

    7. JR

      That has 12 milligrams.

    8. MN

      Loosie Breakers?

    9. JR

      They have 12 milligrams. This is six.

    10. GU

      No, you don't want that.

    11. JR

      They have 12.

    12. GU

      That's too much.

    13. MN

      Six is too much for people.
