EVERY SPOKEN WORD

  1. 0:0015:00

    And we're rolling. (glass clinks)…

    1. JR

      And we're rolling. (glass clinks) Cheers.

    2. JD

      Cheers.

    3. JR

      That's, that's only part of a Cat Lady. I mean-

    4. JD

      (sighs)

    5. JR

      ... obviously.

    6. JD

      Yeah, that's just the one... Well, it's the critical part.

    7. JR

      It is. It is.

    8. JD

      Without... Without the red wine, the Cat Lady is not that ridiculous.

    9. JR

      (laughs)

    10. JD

      Right? It's just red wine-

    11. JR

      Yeah.

    12. JD

      It's like tequila and Red Bull.

    13. JR

      Yep.

    14. JD

      That's normal.

    15. JR

      Yeah.

    16. JD

      I mean, that's like Red Bull and vodka. It's not too crazy.

    17. JR

      Yeah.

    18. JD

      You pour the red wine in there and you're like, "What are you doing?" (laughs)

    19. JR

      Now you're just desperate. (laughs) Now you're just, like, everyone shows up to a party with what they found in their parents' refrigerator-

    20. JD

      Yeah.

    21. JR

      ... and then the Cat Lady appears.

    22. JD

      Have you ever made one of those since then?

    23. JR

      Yeah, a lot.

    24. JD

      (laughs)

    25. JR

      I tur- (laughs) I turn people onto it all the time.

    26. JD

      That day was so ridiculous.

    27. JR

      I've gone into bars where people recognize me and then they... The waitress comes over and says, "The bartender would like to give you this Cat Lady." And I'm like-

    28. JD

      (laughs)

    29. JR

      ... "What?" (laughs) Yeah.

    30. JD

      For people who don't know what we're talking about, the Cat Lady was a drink that John invented two years ago in Lanai. Two years ago?

  2. 15:0030:00

    Well definitely the one…

    1. JR

      feel like that with, with the four fletch setups we have, I feel like the arrows are quieter than what we've shot in the past, personally.

    2. JD

      Well definitely the one I shot last year, because last year here I was trying to use a fixed blade and it was a fixed blade with some holes in it.

    3. JR

      Yeah.

    4. JD

      And it was like a whistle of death. (laughs) It was (whistles)

    5. JR

      Well, on some of those longer shots, the, the deer would turn, but you could see them look up-

    6. JD

      Yeah.

    7. JR

      ... like on the footage.

    8. JD

      Yeah.

    9. JR

      These, they didn't do that.

    10. JD

      Right.

    11. JR

      They just looked our way. They never looked up to like that sound that they could hear coming in.

    12. JD

      Mm-hmm.

    13. JR

      So that's why I think the, the projectile was good. But these things are just, they're keyed in. And we talked to, uh, our buddies, uh, Sloan from Yeti and Cole Kramer were over on the main island hunting Axis too.

    14. JD

      They're on Maui.

    15. JR

      Oh yeah, they're on Maui hunting Axis, and I asked them how they were doing and they're like, "Dude, shot a few does, missed a few, lost a few. These things are just crazy how fast they react and move." And you say it's just, you think it's from tigers.

    16. JD

      Yeah.

    17. JR

      You think it's-

    18. JD

      They evolved to get away from tigers.

    19. JR

      It's probably what it is.

    20. JD

      Yeah, they're, they're from India. They were given to King Kamehameha I think in the 1800s but th- they're just an insanely fast animal. They're so much faster. You think of mule deer as being fast, like mule deer are drunk and on pills compared to these things.

    21. JR

      (laughs) Yeah.

    22. JD

      (laughs) Really, they're like, they're so slow. I mean-

    23. JR

      I think these are, these are as fast as a highly pressured south Texas whitetail that's coming to a feeder-

    24. JD

      Mm-hmm.

    25. JR

      ... that's kind of like-

    26. JD

      Jumpy.

    27. JR

      ... twitching-

    28. JD

      Yeah.

    29. JR

      ... the whole time it's there and you kind of have to aim... I got to the point where when I was out with Cam, Cam asked me where I aimed. I said, "Dude, my pin was sitting in the corner pocket of the leg and the body." Like I literally, every time I drew back, I put my, the pin I wanted on the back of its front leg, I s- followed that back leg up until it touched the bottom of the body and I was pulling right there.

    30. JD

      Mm-hmm.

  3. 30:0045:00

    On the planet. …

    1. JR

      the best you could-

    2. JD

      On the planet.

    3. JR

      ... on the planet.

    4. JD

      And it's 20 bucks.

    5. JR

      (laughs)

    6. JD

      20 bucks and you might see Dave Chappelle, Joey Diaz, Ari Shaffir, Tom Segura, Bert Kreischer, me. I mean, you- you see Chris D'Elia.

    7. JR

      Diaz.

    8. JD

      You see, uh, Tony Hinchcliffe.

    9. JR

      Ian was there.

    10. JD

      Ian Edwards.

    11. JR

      Yes (laughs) .

    12. JD

      Uh, Owen Smith. It's just over and over and over, it's like the lineup is insane, guys you've never heard of that are murderers.

    13. JR

      Y- yeah. Yeah.

    14. JD

      You know? I mean, it's, uh, it's a beautiful place. It's one of the main things that keeps me in LA.

    15. JR

      Yeah, for sure.

    16. JD

      That and the podcast.

    17. JR

      You have a good routine.

    18. JD

      Yeah, man, I was ready to go. I was ready to get the hell out of California a long time ago.

    19. JR

      (laughs)

    20. JD

      It's like they sucked me in.

    21. JR

      Well, what's cool about our relationship too is... There comes this point about November where you fully switch gears to comedy, and I fully switch gears to product development coming out, really working on my shooting, and I go in this- I kinda go reclusive as a friend. There's been- I think at Chri- at Christmas time, didn't I text you at Christmas and I said-

    22. JD

      Yeah.

    23. JR

      ... "S- you know, sorry for being a bad friend."

    24. JD

      You weren't a bad friend.

    25. JR

      (laughs)

    26. JD

      We're both doing the same thing. We're both wrapped up, you know?

    27. JR

      Yeah, I'm like, you know- I just said, "I know you're doing the same," but, like, that's from I think as soon as elk season ends.

    28. JD

      Mm-hmm.

    29. JR

      You go-

    30. JD

      Yeah.

  4. 45:001:00:00

    Mm-hmm. …

    1. JR

      ride their past to, you know, to try to, you know, build something. Whereas Andy's almost, you almost have to drag it out of him.

    2. JD

      Mm-hmm.

    3. JR

      You know, you almost have to say like, "No, dude. You've done some really cool shit. We need to talk about this."

    4. JD

      Yeah.

    5. JR

      And he's trying to say, "Well, there's more to me than that."

    6. JD

      Mm-hmm.

    7. JR

      "You know, there's more to me than that." But I think once people really see that honesty come forward, that's what people are grasping for. They're like, "I really want, I really like that person that I'm seeing. That's what I want more of."

    8. JD

      Yeah, you're not produced, you know? When someone watches a, a, a knock-on, uh-

    9. JR

      Yeah, that's a good way to put- yeah.

    10. JD

      ... when you're doing a live stream or whether you're doing a podcast, you're not produced. And that's the same with me. I don't have anyone telling me to do it. I've been in that situation where I had someone telling me to do, and it- telling me what to do or what to say. And it's, it's just, it's not as effective.

    11. JR

      Yeah.

    12. JD

      It's just not as, it's not as genuine. It doesn't come across that way.

    13. JR

      Yup. I saw today, it's f- it's weird how your phone, your phone's a spy. I got, today I got ads pulled up in my Instagram about travel coolers, dude.

    14. JD

      Whoa, 'cause we were talking about coolers?

    15. JR

      Yeah, last night at dinner.

    16. JD

      Wow.

    17. JR

      How we were gonna get our meat home. Isn't that-

    18. JD

      That's crazy.

    19. JR

      ... isn't it?

    20. JD

      That's so weird.

    21. JR

      It's crazy, crazy.

    22. JD

      So it's listening to us?

    23. JR

      It's listening for sure. Yeah, it's-

    24. JD

      But who's, who can tell us what's happening? I wanna know. Like, what is your ph- I need to get someone on that tells me what the hell your phone is listening to, 'cause that does happen to people all the time, where all of a sudden their, their Google feed, their newsfeed-

    25. JR

      If-

    26. JD

      ... has ads in it.

    27. JR

      ... if that happens, we get really high before they come on just so you can-

    28. JD

      Hmm.

    29. JR

      ... really s- dude, where so you can really trip out.

    30. JD

      Yeah, yeah.

  5. 1:00:001:15:00

    I knew you better.…

    1. JD

      like, a fairly easy rack. But sometimes I like to play four balls ahead. Like if- if there's a cluster that I know I have to break it out, I can't- I can't fuck around. I have to make sure that I'm on the, uh, the high side of this ball because when I collide, when I make the shot, I have to hit that second ball or I will h- or I won- I won't be able to get out. I'm trying to get out. I'm not trying to just... When I, when I watch someone play, like, 'cause e- everybody likes to say they know how to play pool, which is hilarious. People come to my podcast studio, they're like, "Oh, you play pool? Let's play some pool." Okay, let's play some pool.

    2. JR

      I knew you better. I knew you well enough to just say, "I don't know shit about pool."

    3. JD

      (laughs)

    4. JR

      When you're like, "Do you play pool?" I'm like, "Nope. How do I hold this thing?"

    5. JD

      (laughs) But I always... I watch how they make a ball. If they just try to make a ball, I was like, "Oh, okay, you can't play pool."

    6. JR

      (laughs)

    7. JD

      "You might be able to pocket some balls, but I'm gonna fuck you up in the long run."

    8. JR

      (laughs)

    9. JD

      (laughs) You might be able to make all the shots and run out and I'll say, "Congratulations. That was a disaster."

    10. JR

      (laughs) Yeah.

    11. JD

      "You got out, but that was terrible."

    12. JR

      I did that twice.

    13. JD

      (laughs)

    14. JR

      It can happen. (laughs) Yeah. It's actually the perfect... This is the perfect time to talk about when people try to argue with me why... When they say, "What I'm doing's worked and it's always worked," and they're like, "We know you teach that way." The way that I teach-... I would say 80% of the people, it maximizes them, uh, to the best of their ability. Are there a fraction of people that are, like, the exemptions to the rule? Yeah. And you can probably go and win a tournament. You could probably, at some point in your career, if you go to enough major events, you'll win one doing it your way. But I- I'm certain that what I'm teaching will get the mass majority of people more production over a long run.

    15. JD

      They'll be more effective.

    16. JR

      Right?

    17. JD

      It's the right way to do it.

    18. JR

      Is that-

    19. JD

      It's the right way to do it.

    20. JR

      I mean, is it the same?

    21. JD

      Yes.

    22. JR

      It's like, I beat you two games of pool, but to me, that's like, you know, if you freaking throw three things out of the window, you know, one every 100 times is gonna land where you think it might land, but it's just cha- it's chance.

    23. JD

      Well, we're playing on a eight-by-four, which is a smaller table and it has buckets for holes. It's like-

    24. JR

      I like those buckets.

    25. JD

      All those things factor in. And, you know, the table that I have in my studio is-

    26. JR

      Sucks.

    27. JD

      ... is brutal, man. (laughs)

    28. JR

      (laughs)

    29. JD

      That's a brutal table. That's like one of those metal targets that has the softball-sized hole.

    30. JR

      That's exactly what it is.

  6. 1:15:001:16:41

    What did you tell…

    1. JD

      the grocery store. I got the ingredients based on that, and I- I- I- I cooked it on- on the Traeger with my phone.

    2. JR

      What did you tell me you cooked at ... I think you said you cooked something only at 225 just so you could use a SuperSmoke.

    3. JD

      Well, I've been doing that a lot with roasts.

    4. JR

      Oh, really?

    5. JD

      Yeah. I've been doing that a lot. I really like that SuperSmoke, man. It just- it does something to the, the f- I love that smoky flavor that you get. I think it's one of the best things about pellet grills. And I think th- I- I've had a lot of pellet grills, you know. Uh, the Traeger's the best. It's the best. It's the best at maintaining temperature. It gets to temperature better. It's the easiest to- to work. It does-

    6. JR

      So stable too.

    7. JD

      Yeah.

    8. JR

      You can-

    9. JD

      I've had some complicated ones where they- it cooked good, but it was like you had to, like, read the manual to figure out how to do things, and Traeger's a straightforward ... But the- but pellet grills without a doubt are my favorite way to cook food because you're just getting fire and wood. There's no nonsense.

    10. JR

      Yeah.

    11. JD

      There's no charcoal, lighter fluid. There's no briquettes. It's just wood and f- and fire. That's it.

    12. JR

      It's a pellet that's repetitive.

    13. JD

      Yeah, and then what they figured out, uh, how to do, first of all, it's so efficient. The Traeger uses so little pellets. Like, I- I- I fill that hopper once, I go five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10 cooks-

    14. JR

      Yeah.

    15. JD

      ... with just ... I mean, it's a foot h- a foot deep of pellets.

    16. JR

      Yeah.

    17. JD

      And it takes forever to run- run through that.

    18. JR

      We were eating those ribeyes that night, and we're like, "Dude."

    19. JD

      That's as good as you're ever gonna get.

    20. JR

      There's no, like, I haven't gone anywhere where I would say, "I need to know how this guy's doing this-"

    21. JD

      Yeah.

    22. JR

      "... because it's better than what I'm making at home."
