ok, so tar -zxvf doesn't unzip a tar.bz2. I figured that out. So how do I unzip this monster?

For .tar.bz2
For just .bz2 files use:
tar -xjvf <filename>.tar.bz2
For just .bz2 files use:
bunzip2 <filename>.bz2

Just replace the "x" with a "c". X means extract and C means compress.
tar -cjvf <filename>.tar.bz2 <dir>

ok so you know what the options do (feed a man a fish, teach a man to fish .. you know the saying !)
j = bzip
z = gz
c = create
x = extract
v = verbose (it prints the files to the screen)
f = i'm not use, i just know to always use it lol (i think this creates the tar for compression?)
also you can only use c or x , not both at the same time.
