    Sal’s new stand-up special: why YouTube is the best (and riskiest) distribution

    1. JR

      (drum roll) Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.

    2. NA

      The Joe Rogan Experience.

    3. Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. (rock music) What's up, Sam?

    4. SV

      What's up, brother? How you doing?

    5. JR

      Good to see you, man. What's cracking?

    6. SV

      Nothing, thanks. So, thanks for having me, man.

    7. JR

      My pleasure. What are you doing out here, man? What are you doing in Austin, Texas?

    8. SV

      Um, I got a ... My s- my special comes out today, actually.

    9. JR

      Oh, shit.

    10. SV

      Yeah.

    11. JR

      Oh, shit.

    12. SV

      Special comes o- Terrified.

    13. JR

      What's it on?

    14. SV

      Uh, YouTube.

    15. JR

      That's the move.

    16. SV

      Yeah.

    17. JR

      Yeah. I'm, I'm very happy when guys do that. Makes it easily accessible. It's the best thing for, like, distributing your stuff.

    18. SV

      Yeah.

    19. JR

      People share it easy.

    20. SV

      It's nice that that's a g- uh, a v- ... like, a good option now, because when everybody turns you down ... (laughs)

    21. JR

      (laughs)

    22. SV

      It's, it's a-

    23. JR

      It's a great option.

    24. SV

      It's still like, "Well, I still got a good option."

    25. JR

      But it's an option to ... I would think about it even if it, you know, even if I had other options, just 'cause I think-

    26. SV

      Now at this point, right?

    27. JR

      ... it's like the best distribution plat- ... As long as they don't fucking censor you.

    28. SV

      Yeah.

    29. JR

      Which is a little bit of an issue.

    30. SV

      Yeah.

  2. 1:52 – 3:40

    Roast comedy and the cultural “relaxing” around jokes

    1. SV

      Do you watch it through, three hours?

    2. JR

      No.

    3. SV

      Oh.

    4. JR

      I watch Tony Hinchcliffe's set and Andrew Schulz's set, and that's it.

    5. SV

      You seen Nicky's?

    6. JR

      I heard Nicky's was awesome. I haven't seen it yet.

    7. SV

      That's one of the three best, yeah.

    8. JR

      I heard Nikki killed it.

    9. SV

      Yeah, she killed it.

    10. JR

      Yeah. She goes hard. (laughs)

    11. SV

      Yeah. Tony, Tony was ... He, she does it. (laughs) She d- she, she kills those roasts, man. She kills those roasts.

    12. JR

      Yes. She's really good at roasts. She's strong. She's, she's got strong delivery, you know? She's got ... And even, like, she, when she was shitting on Jeff Ross, I did see that part, when she's apologizing (laughs) to him while she was shitting on him.

    13. SV

      (laughs)

    14. JR

      Which is so Nikki Glaser.

    15. SV

      That-

    16. JR

      She's so sweet.

    17. SV

      That, uh, that Hinchcliffe one with the r- uh, l- Liver King.

    18. JR

      (laughs)

    19. SV

      Is it ... You look like the l- ... I don't wanna fuck it up, but the Liver King and the l- and, uh, the Tiger King-

    20. JR

      (laughs)

    21. SV

      ... had a baby that looked like Martin Luther King-

    22. JR

      Who got beat up by Rodney King.

    23. SV

      ... uh, beat up Rodney King and bit by the Lion King or some shit like that. I don't even know. (laughs)

    24. JR

      It was so ridiculous.

    25. SV

      It was a, it was a ride.

    26. JR

      It was such a ride.

    27. SV

      By the time he finished it, he, he ... It was just like, by the time he, i- if he was one king shorter, I, I didn't think it would hit as well.

    28. JR

      Yeah.

    29. SV

      But that next king was the perfect fit.

    30. JR

      It was a monster bit.

  3. 3:40 – 6:25

    Getting sick, supplements, and Sal’s “weak constitution”

    1. JR

      You want any coffee? I've got some coffee if you want some of this.

    2. SV

      Uh, maybe after this, this throat coat.

    3. JR

      Oh, throat coat.

    4. SV

      Yeah.

    5. JR

      Been doing a lot of shows? Is that what it is?

    6. SV

      Uh, actually, I have, yeah.

    7. JR

      Or you got the COVID?

    8. SV

      No, I, I ... Well, my, my, uh, my babe got me s- ... My baby got me sick.

    9. JR

      Ah.

    10. SV

      Yeah.

    11. JR

      That'll do it.

    12. SV

      Yeah.

    13. JR

      Those little kids get sick a lot.

    14. SV

      Yeah. She ... I, I was, like, fighting it for a while, and then a few days ago, it just took a dive.

    15. JR

      Do you take vitamins?

    16. SV

      Every single day, and I get mocked for it.

    17. JR

      You should not get mocked.

    18. SV

      My dad, growing up, he used to take-

    19. JR

      (laughs)

    20. SV

      We had one cabinet in the kitchen, one, and he opened it, and it, it was basically a mini GNC. (laughs) Not like GNC, but it was like, just ... And every day my whole life, I'd watch him throw down, like, 30, you know, pills and just swig it, you know?

    21. JR

      Yeah.

    22. SV

      And, uh, but m- me, I just, I feel like I have a weak immune system. I got a weak constitooche.

    23. JR

      Yeah?

    24. SV

      So, like, I, I try to take, like, the, like, the ... I take, like, a liposomal c- ... It's all, like, I take a D, a B, a C.

    25. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    26. SV

      I was taking, like, a multi, and then you start hearing, "Oh, it doesn't absorb, and you gotta take this one and that one."

    27. JR

      Hmm.

    28. SV

      So I take all immunity stuff, echinacea, elderberry, um ... What the fuck else do I take?

    29. JR

      What do you think causes your weak immune system? You ever thought about it?

    30. SV

      (inhales) Yeah, I think about it my whole entire life. (laughs)

  4. 6:25 – 8:42

    IV vitamins + ADHD meds: the perfect pre-taping over-caffeinated storm

    1. JR

      Do you ever do IV vitamins?

    2. SV

      I, uh, I've only done it twice in my life. It's so funny, uh, when we... I shot the special in December in Chicago and, uh, the day of, I woke up and I was... and I had a cold. I, I... just 'cause I was just running myself into the ground, right? So I woke up, my throat was like... it was hurting me, it was like scratchy. I... my voice was raspy and I had, like, no energy. I'm like, ugh, freaking the fuck out, right? So (coughs) I get to the theater and I'm telling them, like, "I don't know what to do. Like, I feel so weak, I gotta do something." So, Ari's feeding me these, uh... all day long, he's feeding me these, uh, B- Berocca tablets. They're like these vitamin-dissolving tablets that are just-

    3. JR

      Right, he's into those.

    4. SV

      Yeah, they're like a hun-... you know, billion percent whatever, right? So he's feeding me those and then I get to the place and, uh, they get me the IV and the guy gives me a B12 shot.

    5. JR

      Yeah.

    6. SV

      And then I had just started Vyvanse.

    7. JR

      What's that?

    8. SV

      It's, uh, for ADHD. So it's like an Adderall almost.

    9. JR

      Oh, no.

    10. SV

      And I had just started it a few days earlier so I'm like not really... it hasn't really like... I'm not really regulated to it yet. And I just didn't (laughs) realize that his... the tablets Ari would give me, I looked back afterwards and they were like ca-... they all had caffeine.

    11. JR

      Oh, Jesus.

    12. SV

      And then I got this B12 shot 20 minutes before I... the first show-

    13. NA

      (laughs)

    14. SV

      ... and I was on the Vyvanse-

    15. NA

      (laughs)

    16. SV

      ... which is Adderall, and it was the highest dose. (laughs)

    17. NA

      (laughs)

    18. SV

      I, I didn't realize that this was all happening to me and, like, three minutes before I went out, I was the most wired I ever was in my entire life of 40... like, I- I just was... I was like literally... and it... and then I had the adrenaline just 'cause the sh-... it was the t-... my first taping, you know what I mean? Oh my God, dude. (laughs)

    19. JR

      And I, I f-... (laughs) shit, I fucking read it-

    20. NA

      (laughs)

    21. JR

      ... and stroke out.

    22. SV

      I was holding my hand-

    23. NA

      Ugh.

    24. SV

      ... and it was doing this.

    25. JR

      Oh, Jesus Christ.

    26. SV

      And I was like, "Ari, you gave me three of these fucking things today. Every one of them has 200 milligrams of caffeine."

    27. JR

      Oh my God.

    28. SV

      He's like, "I didn't give you three." I'm like, "You gave me three."

    29. NA

      (laughs)

    30. SV

      He said... it's... "You didn't give me... you gave... how do you look me in the face?"

  5. 8:42 – 11:48

    Living with ADHD/OCD: focus, lists, reading struggles, and audiobooks

    1. JR

      And why did you think you needed that? Why do you think you needed an Adderall?

    2. SV

      (laughs) I mean, I suffer from ADHD and a little OCD for like my whole life and it got-

    3. JR

      Wait, so what does that mean? Like, uh, when you say-

    4. SV

      Yeah.

    5. JR

      ... ADHD, how does it manifest itself in your life? Or what do-

    6. SV

      So many ways. Um, mainly the thing that affects my life, uh, is I can't focus. I can't focus on something for... if... especially if, if I'm... like there's up and down days-

    7. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    8. SV

      ... but like, I can't f-... I can't focus on something for more than like... if I'm trying to complete something, I won't complete it.

    9. JR

      Like what kind of stuff?

    10. SV

      Like if I'm wri-... if I'm writing or if-

    11. JR

      Uh-huh.

    12. SV

      ... I have just stuff to do, pay me-... anything at all. Paying bills, is that... anything that where I have to use my mind, like you know what I mean? I'll be... I'll plant my ass down and I'll be trying to like write or send an email or whatever, my leg is shaking like crazy because I- I- I- I don't wanna sit there, I just like... and I just... it- it's helped because I can multitask like 500 things at once-

    13. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    14. SV

      ... but it also hurts because I... it's really hard to get something done, I can't remember anything so I only... I have like 50 lists in my phone, they're all labeled and prioritized. That helps me, but I have to use that otherwise I won't remember anything.

    15. JR

      Right.

    16. SV

      Um, I- I ca-... I have trouble reading. Like I- I- I'll read a page and then I will be like, "I have no idea what was on that page," and I have to read the page again, so I end up reading really slow.

    17. JR

      Is it with everything you read or is it only some stuff?

    18. SV

      It's-

    19. JR

      Like, is there anything that you read where that's not a p-... a problem?

    20. SV

      Books are tough, like long-form reading is tough.

    21. JR

      Like fiction or non-fiction, anything?

    22. SV

      Just... like just a lot of pages in between two covers.

    23. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    24. SV

      It... the genre doesn't play into the factor, but-

    25. JR

      It doesn't... so not even like a really... like there's not one book that just captivated you and you, like, easily could read it?

    26. SV

      Yeah, I mean that's... I mean when I'm really... uh, I mean, like I said, there's good and bad days so like-

    27. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    28. SV

      ... if I'm reading like a biography or something where I'm really into it, uh, I don't really read fiction.

    29. JR

      Oh, okay.

    30. SV

      Yeah. But I b-... but like I like biographies really, so-

  6. 11:48 – 13:50

    Impractical Jokers’ unlikely explosion and the weirdness of “reality” TV

    1. SV

      My buddy I'm on a... I do a show with, um, he ha-... he has a bunch of books out published and, uh, one of the things we... ah, when does this come out? He's gonna s-... ah, I don't know if I'm supposed to say. So we do a lot of se-... keep a lot of secrets from each other-

    2. JR

      Right.

    3. SV

      ... and then surprise each other on, on the show. The show for... if you- if you don't know, people don't know, it's just called Impractical Jokers. It's me and my buddies of 35 years.

    4. JR

      Fucking huge show, dude. It's gigantic.

    5. SV

      It's crazy, yeah, it's, um-

    6. JR

      Congratulations.

    7. SV

      Thank you so much. Thank you, man.

    8. JR

      I remember when, uh, guys were talking about it in the parking lot of the store when it was just blowing up and people were talking about your shows that you were doing. You guys were doing shows and they were just mobbed and everybody's like, "This sh-... like that show is huge."

    9. SV

      Yeah, it was wild. Not expected or anything. It was on TruTV, you know?

    10. JR

      Yeah, which is like a... not a network where people really blow up from, right?

    11. SV

      There's a f-

    12. JR

      I- w-... but it just shows you if something's fun, people find it.

    13. SV

      Yeah, I mean, there-

    14. JR

      You know?

    15. SV

      ... well, there was nothing like... they only did... they had... no joke, they had two different pawn shows-

    16. NA

      (laughs)

    17. SV

      ... two, three... this is when we got on, they had two different pawn shows-

    18. NA

      (laughs)

    19. SV

      ... three, three different towing shows.

    20. JR

      (laughs)

    21. SV

      ... and two storage shows. That was the whole... And then they showed, like, like, the, uh, stupidest criminals of all time, like, run through.

    22. JR

      Yeah.

    23. SV

      And that was it. So we, we were the first comedy, so I guess it kind of w- resonated on the channel because we were, like, alone in, in that manner.

    24. JR

      I heard a lot of those storage shows are fugazi.

    25. SV

      Y- so much of all the reality stuff is com-

    26. JR

      Oh, a lot of it is, yeah.

    27. SV

      I mean, I'd say 95%.

    28. JR

      There's a lot of finagling going on behind the scenes with the truth just to, for narratives and stuff.

    29. SV

      If you pause the credits, like, there's always like that fine print in the credits.

    30. JR

      Oh, yeah.

  7. 13:50 – 19:41

    Ghost talk to haunted-house panic: Sal’s fear of jump scares

    1. JR

      Even, um, ghosts. It's like-

    2. GU

      Yeah.

    3. JR

      ... th- I mean, th- people... Not, uh, they don't- I'm more interested in ghosts than I am Bigfoot.

    4. SV

      Me too.

    5. JR

      'Cause, uh, the thing about Bigfoot is, like, I think it was probably a real animal, and I think there's some ancient stories that are passed down for thousands of years.

    6. SV

      Sure.

    7. JR

      I think. I think that's probably what it was. But ghosts are weird because they're in every culture.

    8. SV

      Right.

    9. JR

      And I haven't experienced a ghost, but I imagine if I did, trying to explain it to someone and not sounding like a fucking maniac, like just a crazy person, "Oh, I saw a ghost."

    10. SV

      L- Let me try.

    11. JR

      Okay, you seen one?

    12. SV

      Didn't see one, but here's the thing. I don't believe in ghosts.

    13. JR

      Oh, okay.

    14. SV

      But then I had this happen to me and now I don't really know what to, like, what to feel.

    15. JR

      Cue the spooky music.

    16. SV

      (laughs)

    17. JR

      Any spooky music over there, Jamie?

    18. GU

      Yeah.

    19. SV

      My family believes in ghosts. They're like, they're all for it.

    20. JR

      Mm.

    21. SV

      My sister had a thing. She lived at home and she came home one day and she opened the door to her room and every single one of her closet, uh, drawers were open. Every, every single thing that could be opened in the room was open. And it freaked her out a little bit, and she asked, uh, if anyone did it. And it was just my, my stepmom and my dad, they said no. And she was like, uh, felt uncomfortable ab- about that. And then she closed everything and then, like, whatever. She used to lock it after that. And then she'd lock, and one day, like months later, she had locked it again, when she opened it they were all open again. I tell her I don't even believe, like I don't, I don't know what I... She's not lying to me, but I don't know what to make of it, but I don't think it's a ghost. But my grandfather-

    22. JR

      That's not that spooky. (laughs) That's like The Hulk.

    23. GU

      (laughs)

    24. JR

      Like, that's way too loud for the Hulk.

    25. SV

      Yeah, I, I, I was about to get, I was about to get a massage.

    26. JR

      (laughs) Yeah, that was like, waiting for the candles to be lit.

    27. SV

      Um, but my grandpa-

    28. JR

      Relax.

    29. SV

      My grandfather d- died in the house, but like, I don't know. You know?

    30. JR

      Mm.

  8. 19:41 – 26:48

    Cornfields, subsidies, and how corn became an American mega-industry

    1. SV

      (coughs) But, um, wait, so I'll double back on this one. I, so I-

    2. JR

      Corn is fucking scary to get lost in.

    3. SV

      Corn maze?

    4. JR

      Yeah.

    5. SV

      It's terrible.

    6. JR

      It's really weird. Like, there's a maze, there's a place in California where they have a- a farm and they have a corn maze, you can walk around this maze, it's fun because you know you can eventually get out.

    7. SV

      Go in it night alone.

    8. JR

      But you get lost-

    9. SV

      Yeah.

    10. JR

      ... in this maze. You get really lost and it's kind of confusing and now imagine this is thousands of acres.

    11. SV

      Right. (laughs)

    12. JR

      And you're in the center of it with no water and you have no idea. You might be walking around in circles, you really have no idea.

    13. SV

      You may as well be on, like, the mountains where people die in.

    14. JR

      Yeah, you, people die in cornfields, man. That's a real thing, like-

    15. SV

      I mean, I feel like yeah, it depends how dense it is. I mean, if I was ever in that situation, I'd just go straight and not stop.

    16. JR

      I wonder how many people over in history have died in cornfields? Just heat exhaustion.

    17. SV

      S- 11.

    18. JR

      Get lo... 11?

    19. SV

      Yeah.

    20. JR

      That's what you think?

    21. SV

      We had looked it up because-

    22. JR

      For real?

    23. SV

      No.

    24. JR

      Let's guess.

    25. SV

      (laughs)

    26. JR

      Let's say a guess.

    27. SV

      I wanna guess but then I, it's gonna suck because I'm like-

    28. JR

      All time, I think 11's a solid number. I think 11's, like, a good guess.

    29. SV

      (sighs) No.

    30. JR

      Like, 11 people over the course of America have died in cornfields.

    Humans vs wilderness: “bitch-ass” animals, walkabouts, and bear survival rules

    1. JR

      Do you ever think about like how-

    2. GU

      (laughs)

    3. JR

      How we got... Like how people would have sex back then? Like ho- how would people still fuck back then?

    4. GU

      They were disgusting things.

    5. JR

      Think about how many years. It's only like the last 100 years that people aren't disgusted. (laughs)

    6. GU

      Yeah. We were talking about Saint Agnes, who went his whole life... Was it Saint Agnes?

    7. Yeah, I mean, back t... Anyway. Take your pick, take your pick.

    8. Went his whole life-

    9. Once a year.

    10. ... without having a bath. How did... I- i- his whole li-

    11. Yeah. (laughs)

    12. He copped to that?

    13. If it was once a year, it was a lot.

    14. JR

      Yeah. No, no, it wasn't even that. It was like you were supposed to do that.

    15. GU

      Oh.

    16. JR

      Yeah. Like bathing was thought of as like a ridiculous thing to do.

    17. GU

      I mean, day three, it starts to be a problem.

    18. JR

      I don't know what happens.

    19. GU

      How long do you live? (laughs)

    20. JR

      I wonder what happens. Like what just happens if you never bathe?

    21. GU

      But I do-

    22. JR

      Like we just assume that you have to bathe. Maybe that's the source of a lot of our problems. We're not like covered in dirt and bacteria all the time like we're supposed to be, like a normal animal.

    23. GU

      Maybe that warded off-

    24. JR

      And like interacting.

    25. GU

      Maybe that warded off like pre-

    26. JR

      I bet e... Nah, it didn't, didn't. It d-

    27. GU

      No.

    28. JR

      It didn't stop predators.

    29. GU

      (laughs)

    30. JR

      No, not at all.

  10. 36:49 – 48:55

    Big cats, pet lions, and Jokers’ tiger trap: why wild animals can’t be trusted

    1. SV

      Have you come across one like that? Like in just in the wild?

    2. JR

      The scariest thing I came across, I've talked about it too many times on the podcast, but to tell you, uh, I- I- I saw a big mountain lion from about 30 yards away. But I was inside my friend's truck.... and he spotted it. It was about dusk. It was in Utah in the mountains. And we were taking this corner, and he hits the brakes. He goes, "Look at that cat." And we look, and about 30 yards away under a tree is this enormous, enormous mountain lion-

    3. SV

      Yeah.

    4. JR

      ... with like a head like a pumpkin, dude.

    5. SV

      Yeah.

    6. JR

      And these giant forearms, and just sitting there. We're like, "Holy fuck, man." And I had binoculars, so I pick up the bino, so I have these 10 power binoculars. So I'm looking in its face.

    7. SV

      Its face, oh shit.

    8. JR

      In its... And I'm... But I'm protected.

    9. SV

      Yeah.

    10. JR

      I'm inside the car. We have a gun. I'm protected. And I'm-

    11. SV

      But are you... But did you still, still shit your-

    12. JR

      ... shitting my pants.

    13. SV

      That's crazy.

    14. JR

      Like, I felt like it... like, it... like, some primal fear.

    15. SV

      Yeah. Yeah.

    16. JR

      Some primal recognition of an actual monster.

    17. SV

      Yeah. Yeah. That, that kicked in from the inside. I mean, that's-

    18. JR

      From inside a-

    19. SV

      Yeah.

    20. JR

      ... truck with a gun.

    21. SV

      It doesn't matter.

    22. JR

      With the binoculars.

    23. SV

      Yeah, yeah.

    24. JR

      Dude, you, you... You look at this thing and its eyes are kinda-

    25. SV

      I got, I got chills.

    26. JR

      Because it's dusk, the eyes are kinda glowing a little bit.

    27. SV

      Yeah.

    28. JR

      Oh.

    29. SV

      Yeah, yeah. That... No, thank you.

    30. JR

      Bro.

  11. 48:55 – 57:17

    Chimp brutality, exotic pet laws, and Sal’s childhood ice-skating chimp incident

    1. SV

      What about that lady that got her face ripped off by the chimp? Dude!

    2. JR

      Oh, I was just reading about that again for some strange reason.

    3. SV

      Oh, my God, did we ... They have a picture, I think, of it.

    4. GU

      Oh, don't say.

    5. SV

      And don't do it. Yeah, don't do it.

    6. JR

      Yeah, that's a-

    7. SV

      It-

    8. JR

      ... terrible story, man. Like-

    9. SV

      That's terrific.

    10. JR

      ... a terrible story.

    11. SV

      And, like, I think they have, like, audio of it or something, like, where she's just like-

    12. JR

      Just 911 audio.

    13. SV

      Oh, God. It wa-

    14. JR

      Yeah.

    15. SV

      Oh, it's, I mean, and th- those, those chimps, they, like, disme- like, dismember you. Like they, sh- he ripped her entire face off.

    16. JR

      Yeah, they try to ruin you.... they, they try to bite your fingers off. They go for your genitals.

    17. SV

      Yeah.

    18. JR

      They tear your feet off.

    19. SV

      That's how, you know, they got a r- that's a odd handbook for them. That's like-

    20. JR

      Well, it's a just-

    21. SV

      ... "Let me tear his feet off first. I don't who that-"

    22. JR

      They wanna cripple you.

    23. SV

      Yeah.

    24. JR

      They're not even trying to kill you. They're trying to cripple you.

    25. SV

      Is that what they're doing?

    26. JR

      Yeah. They're try... They're smart.

    27. SV

      Cripple you and then what?

    28. JR

      They're evil and smart. They're trying to ruin you.

    29. SV

      They run up your bills?

    30. JR

      You can't... No more fingers, bitch.

    Everglades invasive pythons, swamp punishments, and the nightmare of constriction

    1. JR

      You know, some fire escape.

    2. SV

      People, the kids and dogs and everything get eaten by fucking crocs and alligators every single day. It's like-

    3. JR

      Not every day.

    4. SV

      Joe, it's every day, Joe.

    5. JR

      It's ... It does. It's, uh ... They don't have very many crocodiles.

    6. SV

      More than I would ... More than I think should happen. I mean, people have their houses like cro- like blocked off so the crocs can't get in there.

    7. JR

      Yeah, it's, it's alligators mostly.

    8. SV

      Oh, alligators, yeah.

    9. JR

      Yeah. There's a difference. Like, crocodiles are way more dangerous.

    10. SV

      Oh, is that right?

    11. JR

      They're way more aggressive.

    12. SV

      But do they cohabitate?

    13. JR

      They do in the Everglades apparently now. Not a lot, but they've, they, they have had more than one sighting of Nile crocodiles in the Everglades and there's some ... Some of the biologists have speculation that there might be a breeding population.

    14. SV

      Really?

    15. JR

      Of not ... Because there's so many assholes who just release things-

    16. SV

      Right.

    17. JR

      ... in the Everglades.

    18. SV

      Yeah.

    19. JR

      I mean, you know the python situation there, right?

    20. SV

      No.

    21. JR

      You haven't seen about ... Nothing?

    22. SV

      No. No.

    23. JR

      Oh. The Everglades are infested with giant pythons that are all invasive. They're all-

    24. SV

      Wow.

    25. JR

      ... pets. Or from research.

    26. SV

      Are you serious? Wow.

    27. JR

      Yeah, so they're either from, uh, research places where people are working. There's ... Some of them definitely got released there. But other ones are released just 'cause there's people's pets. So, asshole, some fucking dude who's into death metal has a python.

    28. SV

      Right.

    29. JR

      He's like, "I can't feed you right now, but I'm gonna let you go and in two years-"

    30. SV

      Yeah. (laughs)
