Alright, so, um, oh Welcome To the 500th episode We got Debra Wilson here We got Debra and Aries Spears

• 3:24Bobby Lee?

  We got Mo

• 3:29Bobby Lee?

  Welcome to the 500th episode, this is a dream come true, this is, this is honestly my family. My first real job in Hollywood, it was Mad TV, I was on it for eight years, but when I first got on, this is the crew that was already there, and I was so intimidated by them, and I was so, I really was, I was enamored, I tried to play it cool every day, but I was so nervous. And, um, I think, um, it's time for the guy in the middle, the two, on the ends, it made me feel very comfortable.

• 3:56Bobby Lee?

  I know we resolved our issues, right?

• 3:58Speaker 04

  Yeah!

• 3:58Bobby Lee?

  But we're good friends now, but my point is, is that

• 4:00Speaker 04

  Me and you are Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan.

• 4:04Bobby Lee?

  It took three years for us to warm up to each other

• 4:06Speaker 04

  Uh huh

• 4:07Bobby Lee?

  On the show, which is, yeah, insane.

• 4:08Speaker 03

  Yeah Not really It makes It's wasted time

• 4:11Bobby Lee?

  It's a waste of time, right?

• 4:13Speaker 03

  It, it can be, but my, my thing is this also, the reason why it's also sane?

• 4:17Bobby Lee?

  Yeah

• 4:17Speaker 03

  Is because both of you had to grow yourselves to better know yourselves, so that you can go like, "Oh shit, I'm ready for this, and I, I know where I was coming from."

• 4:24Bobby Lee?

  I knew the fuck I was

• 4:25Speaker 03

  Now it's time, yeah, okay.

• 4:28Bobby Lee?

  What do you mean? Explain, Deb.

• 4:30Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 4:30Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 4:31Speaker 03

  Because my thing is this, you were nervous.

• 4:32Bobby Lee?

  Stop holding your hands, it's uncomfortable.

• 4:33Speaker 03

  No, uh-uh, uh-uh.

• 4:34Bobby Lee?

  Okay, keep going, keep going.

• 4:35Speaker 03

  You may have been nervous by all of that, but you put up a facade, right? No, not entirely. Not with you.

• 4:42Bobby Lee?

  What do you mean, what do you mean?

• 4:43Speaker 03

  And the reason I say that is because Mo is an open human being.

• 4:46Bobby Lee?

  She's the most open.

• 4:46Speaker 03

  Mo is, Mama Momo is my sister for life.

• 4:49Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, she's a little.

• 4:50Speaker 03

  I will bleed Mo every day of the fucking week.

• 4:52Bobby Lee?

  She's a little too open.

• 4:53Speaker 03

  Because, no, she's not a little too open, she's all the way open because she's real. She's like, what you see is what you get with her. Oh, that's not great.

• 5:00Bobby Lee?

  Exactly.

• 5:01Speaker 03

  No, it is. When you see somebody and somebody just opens up to you the way she opens up to you, you know it's lifelong, bottom line.

• 5:09Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 5:09Speaker 03

  When I met her, as funny as she was, as clever as she was, as sweet as she was, as out there as she was, I knew that would be my sister for life. I knew it then, and it is that way to this day, because she is that lovable.

• 5:23Bobby Lee?

  Talk about him now. Yes, please.

• 5:28Bobby Lee?

  This is the meat, this is the meat, go ahead.

• 5:31Speaker 03

  I love you. I love you too.

• 5:33Bobby Lee?

  I love you too.

• 5:33Speaker 03

  I really do. I know you do.

• 5:35Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 5:35Speaker 05

  I'm in the middle of a lesbian sandwich.

• 5:38Bobby Lee?

  All right.

• 5:40Speaker 03

  Aries and I have a bond that I cannot explain other than...

• 5:45Bobby Lee?

  Can you explain it in a sound? Explain it in a sound.

• 5:48Speaker 03

  I can't. I can't.

• 5:50Bobby Lee?

  Okay, nothing.

• 5:50Speaker 03

  Aries and I have a, that, that, that bond, okay, here's, okay, here's that sound. Woo!

• 5:58Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 5:59Speaker 03

  It's ride or die.

• 6:01Bobby Lee?

  It's ride or die.

• 6:01Speaker 03

  When he cries, I cry. If he's upset, I get upset.

• 6:05Bobby Lee?

  Well, he's curious, so let me know why you're curious.

• 6:07Speaker 03

  Okay, so Aries and I have been through some shit on Mad TV.

• 6:12Bobby Lee?

  I know.

• 6:13Speaker 03

  And he has been.

• 6:14Bobby Lee?

  We know.

• 6:15Speaker 03

  Open enough.

• 6:15Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 6:16Speaker 03

  To come to me, or I have been able to find out and we're able to share that. When we are working on stage, when we're working on stage, our bond and our silliness is there, is 100, is 100. And everybody knows that, everybody in the audience knows that, everyone knows that.

• 6:34Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, but can I just say?

• 6:34Speaker 03

  So on a personal level...

• 6:39Bobby Lee?

  Okay, Deborah, go ahead. You're doing my...

• 6:42Speaker 03

  Yeah, I am.

• 6:43Bobby Lee?

  Princess, I'm sorry.

• 6:46Speaker 03

  And so, on a personal level, if shit goes down, I want to be there, I want to have his back. So, not too long ago, and I'm talking like a year ago, shit went down, I wanted to have your back, and you disappeared.

• 7:00Bobby Lee?

  What are you talking about?

• 7:03Speaker 03

  I don't want to bring up details, because it's personal.

• 7:05Bobby Lee?

  Oh, you're talking about the Tiffany Haddish thing?

• 7:06Speaker 03

  No. I don't give a fuck about that.

• 7:09Bobby Lee?

  I don't know what you mean, then.

• 7:10Speaker 03

  You called me in an emergency situation, and you told me something that was dire.

• 7:16Bobby Lee?

  What is it?

• 7:17Speaker 03

  And I wanted to help you.

• 7:18Bobby Lee?

  I love dire.

• 7:19Speaker 03

  And said, "I'm gonna get back to you, because I'm gonna rally some troops around you." You never called me back, you disappeared, you changed your number, it's not as if you called me and gave me your number.

• 7:31Bobby Lee?

  Deborah, he needs to defend. Deborah.

• 7:35Speaker 06

  And that's our time, everybody.

• 7:38Speaker 03

  I cannot defend Robbie Lee, but you don't ask me to come up here and say stuff and feel stuff. And you're not, this is the white elephant in the room.

• 7:45Bobby Lee?

  Well, it's the black elephant in the room. But he's lost some weight.

• 7:48Speaker 03

  Okay, but you never got back to me, and you have to remember something. This is the first time I'm seeing you since then. So now that I was in a tizzy, wondering if you okay, you never got back to me. And I know you read my message, because you said "read."

• 8:03Bobby Lee?

  Okay, can he have a defense?

• 8:05Speaker 06

  So, Mad TV started...

• 8:07Bobby Lee?

  Based on a magazine?

• 8:09Speaker 06

  What we did is we created original character series.

• 8:13Speaker 06

  You know, fulfilled a certain comedy factory for the era.

• 8:18Bobby Lee?

  What is... Okay, there we go. Look at that photo.

• 8:21Speaker 03

  And Mama Had He Not Asked.

• 8:22Speaker 06

  Oh, look at that.

• 8:23Bobby Lee?

  Oh, my God, look at that body. The photo. Wow. That's you, Aries?

• 8:28Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 8:28Bobby Lee?

  Tell it like Denzel back then, huh?

• 8:30Speaker 05

  Stop it.

• 8:30Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. Something happened, like you died and left in a pond or something, and you bloated a little bit.

• 8:37Speaker 06

  Michael and I look married. Look at that.

• 8:40Bobby Lee?

  He looks straight right there.

• 8:42Speaker 06

  I know.

• 8:44Speaker 03

  No, he doesn't.

• 8:46Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, so um, then Frank Caliendo, okay, good, that was, yeah. So, tell me, I don't know what's going on here. Mo, I'm sorry, Mo, we're all gonna have our chance to shine.

• 8:59Speaker 06

  Well, we'll see.

• 9:01Bobby Lee?

  We gotta resolve.

• 9:02Speaker 06

  I'm gonna lean back if that's alright, can I just, like?

• 9:06Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 9:06Speaker 05

  No, no, now that-

• 9:07Bobby Lee?

  Tell us, tell us what the details.

• 9:09Speaker 05

  No, no, now that she's- No, no, now that she's jogged my memory. Yeah, I was, I was just going through something with the wifey at the time.

• 9:18Speaker 06

  I didn't even know you were married.

• 9:21Speaker 05

  Twice, to the same woman.

• 9:23Speaker 06

  Okay.

• 9:23Bobby Lee?

  Really?

• 9:23Speaker 05

  Oh, yeah, and I'm probably about to marry her a third time.

• 9:27Speaker 06

  weddings are fun.

• 9:28Speaker 05

  Yeah, um, so, yeah.

• 9:29Bobby Lee?

  Or maybe change your behavior, I don't know.

• 9:32Speaker 05

  That could, that could help too, that could help too.

• 9:34Bobby Lee?

  Okay, okay.

• 9:34Speaker 05

  Uh, but, yeah, I, I was going through a rough period, and long story short, she got a restraining order and had me kicked out of my own house, so I was like, basically homeless. Uh, so I was, you know, I called Deborah.

• 9:50Speaker 05

  Called Deborah to see if I could crash with her, cause she's always been there for me and never turned me down.

• 9:56Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 9:56Speaker 05

  Uh, but, again, like she was saying, there was something going on where she had to get back to me, and I guess in my heat of my frustration, I was like, fuck that! So I said, fuck everybody, I changed my number, I didn't talk to nobody, and the only person that I called was my brother who I've grown up with since 4th grade, and I eventually stayed at his crib.

• 10:14Speaker 06

  Can I have a guest room?

• 10:18Speaker 05

  I'd be nervous.

• 10:18Speaker 06

  Have I said too much?

• 10:23Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, well, yeah, you didn't reach out to Mo, I have a guest room.

• 10:26Speaker 06

  Yeah, you could've reached out to me too.

• 10:28Speaker 05

  I feel funny as a black man putting myself on white folks.

• 10:31Speaker 06

  We love it.

• 10:33Bobby Lee?

  They do like it, they do love it, they do.

• 10:36Speaker 05

  So, I, nah-

• 10:37Bobby Lee?

  You've seen those movies where the white family adopts the football player?

• 10:40Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 10:42Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, they love it.

• 10:43Speaker 06

  Endangered servant to his ex!

• 10:46Bobby Lee?

  That's The Blind Side, dude, that's The Blind Side, dude, yeah, that's Blind Side.

• 10:49Speaker 03

  Yeah, your ass would've been blind side.

• 10:51Speaker 05

  So yeah, I mean, the situation eventually resolved itself rather quickly. And, uh, you know, it was all good.

• 10:58Bobby Lee?

  Okay, good.

• 10:58Speaker 06

  It's good.

• 10:59Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, um, did you ever text Deborah back?

• 11:02Speaker 05

  No.

• 11:04Speaker 06

  And that explains this moment.

• 11:06Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 11:07Speaker 05

  But it wasn't like, it wasn't like I had anything against Deborah.

• 11:10Speaker 03

  No.

• 11:10Speaker 05

  At all. I just, I just didn't.

• 11:12Speaker 03

  But it's also, like I said, it's alarming when someone disappears from your life. It's alarming.

• 11:18Bobby Lee?

  It's alarming, yeah.

• 11:19Speaker 03

  Because that's the last thing you hear, and so I'm left with, what the fuck? What the fuck? And now I'm seeing him now, so that, that, I'm not gonna let that be a white elephant in the room, but it really...

• 11:29Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. Well, can I have a, is there a verdict? I think Mo and I will be the judge. Yeah, what is the verdict?

• 11:35Speaker 06

  Is there?

• 11:36Bobby Lee?

  We're judges. What's the verdict? I think there is a winner.

• 11:39Speaker 06

  What's the accu, what's the crime? Like, what's the...

• 11:42Bobby Lee?

  The crime is, um, ghosting.

• 11:44Speaker 06

  Ghosting?

• 11:44Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 11:45Speaker 03

  But it's the situation, Mo, because...

• 11:46Bobby Lee?

  Situational ghosting.

• 11:47Speaker 06

  No, I totally get it, yeah. Aries, you fucked up.

• 11:50Bobby Lee?

  You fucked up, Aries.

• 11:51Speaker 06

  You did fuck up.

• 11:51Speaker 03

  I don't believe he fucked up, but my thing is this, you do...

• 11:54Bobby Lee?

  You sounded like he fucked up.

• 11:56Speaker 03

  No.

• 11:56Bobby Lee?

  Okay.

• 11:57Speaker 03

  All I'm saying is I'm putting all the information together going, where were you?

• 12:00Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 12:01Speaker 03

  So my thing is this, you didn't fuck up, you made a decision, and so here's what I feel at the end result of that decision. It bothered me because I wanted to know you were okay. That's all. I just wanted to know you were okay, that's all.

• 12:13Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 12:13Speaker 03

  So I'm not angry with you, and I'm not mad at you. I just wanted to know you were okay and wanted to know what happened, and that's the last thing I remember, so that's the first thing that's gonna bring up in my mind. And now that I know you're okay, we all good, but, you know.

• 12:25Speaker 06

  Well, no, I'm angry about it.

• 12:27Speaker 03

  All of this was built up, and I never let it go. Because I didn't know what was happening with him.

• 12:32Speaker 05

  But yeah, no, it was, you know, I'm dramatic, so, you know, I probably made more of it than I probably, you know, should have.

• 12:39Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 12:39Speaker 05

  Because, you know...

• 12:40Speaker 03

  That's life, and I get it, but now I can release it, you know, that's my...

• 12:44Speaker 05

  And plus, I, you know...

• 12:45Speaker 03

  Because I love him.

• 12:45Speaker 05

  Yeah, plus, you know, I wasn't, I'm 50 now, so...

• 12:48Speaker 06

  What?

• 12:48Speaker 05

  I mean, I don't know how long it'll go on.

• 12:51Bobby Lee?

  That was like, that was like you saying, I thought you were 60.

• 12:56Speaker 05

  No, I just turned 58 the third, so yeah, yeah, so uh, yeah, I've matured, you know, a little bit, so.

• 13:05Speaker 06

  Is there a fly in here?

• 13:08Bobby Lee?

  Deborah, I have to say that he's made me feel the same way, and I understand your tears, okay?

• 13:13Speaker 03

  And again, it's not, he didn't make me feel that way. I felt that way from that situation. He doesn't have to take responsibility for that. I know I felt a certain way, and I just wanted to get my feelings out and speak my piece.

• 13:23Bobby Lee?

  Do you have resentments at me or Mo at all?

• 13:25Speaker 03

  Never. Are you kidding me? Never. You know why? Because like I said, Mama Momo and I are for life. And I could tell that you were nervous to begin with, and that's all the more reason why I wanted to be like, and even when I wasn't on the show, when I was on the show and even when I wasn't, I was always the oldest, always. I was the matriarch. And so, I wanted to make people feel comfortable because I know when I first arrived, I didn't trust myself. I didn't trust myself until fourth season.

• 13:50Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 13:51Speaker 03

  I didn't trust, and then when Mo came in, I completely trusted myself. I'm like, she's my blanket. She's my sister.

• 13:57Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 13:58Speaker 03

  She gets me, I get her, and I admire and respect her talent, and I'm inspired by who this person was. I knew she was creative and funny, but the fucking woman that she is made me feel like I can be the woman that I want to be and fuck all everything else.

• 14:13Speaker 05

  If I'm cold, can you be my blanket?

• 14:15Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 14:16Speaker 06

  I saw Deborah's clit the first day I met her.

• 14:21Speaker 03

  That's when it was pretty back then.

• 14:22Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 14:23Speaker 03

  It looked like a newborn pinky mouse, all pink and cute.

• 14:27Speaker 05

  This motherfucker looked like Morgan Freeman.

• 14:31Speaker 06

  I'll never forget it.

• 14:33Bobby Lee?

  I saw your titties.

• 14:35Speaker 03

  You were supposed to.

• 14:37Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I was supposed to see them, yeah, yeah, they were very nice.

• 14:39Speaker 03

  Thank you.

• 14:39Bobby Lee?

  You're welcome.

• 14:40Speaker 03

  They still are, and they're all tattooed now.

• 14:41Bobby Lee?

  Oh, really?

• 14:42Speaker 03

  Completely 100.

• 14:43Bobby Lee?

  Okay.

• 14:43Speaker 06

  There we go.

• 14:44Bobby Lee?

  Wow, are they real, Deb, or?

• 14:46Speaker 03

  Yeah, real expensive.

• 14:48Bobby Lee?

  Okay, alright. Very nice. I like your tattoos.

• 14:51Speaker 03

  Thank you. I'm 100% covered now, body, body-wise. I have tattoos all over my body.

• 14:55Bobby Lee?

  Really?

• 14:55Speaker 03

  My hands, yeah.

• 14:56Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 14:57Speaker 03

  Every part of me is covered.

• 14:57Bobby Lee?

  That's a palm, though. People don't do their palms, why?

• 14:59Speaker 03

  Because you're, you're gonna shed skin constantly, and you're gonna sweat constantly.

• 15:03Bobby Lee?

  I see, I see.

• 15:04Speaker 03

  So it'll only, um, yeah.

• 15:05Bobby Lee?

  Um, so, um, Aries, do you have any resentments toward anybody in the room?

• 15:09Speaker 05

  No, absolutely not.

• 15:11Bobby Lee?

  Okay.

• 15:11Speaker 06

  Oh, that's a yes.

• 15:12Speaker 05

  No, no, no. As we discussed, the only, the only, you know, the only reservations I had were with you. Uh, and we worked that out, you know, but everybody else I absolutely loved. And I gotta be honest, like, when you, when we were doing this, I, I, I kinda knew in my head, I go, I know who's gonna show up and who won't be there. Uh, I was, I was a little shocked that Will pulled out. I really, I really wanted to see Will, but I went, [BLEEP] ain't gonna be there, you know?

• 15:38Bobby Lee?

  Who? No.

• 15:40Speaker 05

  Yeah, that's the only person I probably really...

• 15:43Bobby Lee?

  No, the, no, I mean...

• 15:44Speaker 05

  With.

• 15:45Bobby Lee?

  Listen, I know, okay, hold up, guy, okay? She's purposely not here.

• 15:50Speaker 05

  Oh, okay.

• 15:51Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean? Because of the chemistry.

• 15:54Speaker 05

  Got you.

• 15:55Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 15:55Speaker 05

  Got you.

• 15:56Bobby Lee?

  Am I saying that correctly?

• 15:57Speaker 05

  You're perfectly, you couldn't say it any, any better way.

• 15:59Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, but, um, I'm fond of all three. Can we talk about, um, how you got the show? Cause I don't know anything about it. So start with Mo, and then we'll get to Deborah.

• 16:08Speaker 06

  Am I still here?

• 16:09Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, you're here.

• 16:10Speaker 06

  Um...

• 16:10Bobby Lee?

  For, for, Mo Collins, right, is, I, I, I just wanna, you and Stephanie, but I think you, you are so, I've never met anyone as talented.

• 16:19Speaker 06

  Whoa.

• 16:19Bobby Lee?

  You're so intrinsically fucking fu-

• 16:22Speaker 06

  I just felt my lady bits for the first time in like, three years. Thank you.

• 16:24Bobby Lee?

  Funny, to watch you do Lorraine and all, I mean, it was just incredible to watch.

• 16:27Speaker 06

  Thanks.

• 16:27Bobby Lee?

  As a kid, and like, I was...

• 16:29Speaker 06

  As a kid.

• 16:30Bobby Lee?

  Well, I'd never done sketch or improv or acted or anything, so I was like, literally, I just, I don't even, I didn't even know why I was on the show.

• 16:36Speaker 05

  Well, but...

• 16:37Bobby Lee?

  I can only-

• 16:37Speaker 05

  Let me, let me just piggyback on what you just said. Uh, not to interrupt Mo's thing here, but one of the thing that I, one of the things that I thought was always amazing about us, if I could pat us all on the back, is not only did people do great characters or great impressions, everybody was fearless.

• 16:55Bobby Lee?

  Hmm.

• 16:56Speaker 05

  Everybody wasn't scared to go there.

• 16:58Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 16:58Speaker 05

  And we're talking about the 90s where you really went there.

• 17:00Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 17:01Speaker 05

  So whether it's, Mo is Lorraine, or Mo is playing a, a, a wife, or, or whatever kinda character she's playing... She went there. She went off the page. I went off the page. Deborah went, everybody went off the page. And we weren't scared to put our dicks on the table.

• 17:15Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 17:16Speaker 06

  The only way to know where the, the line is, the edge is, to go over it.

• 17:20Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 17:20Speaker 06

  That's the only way you can find out where it is. And that literally was our job.

• 17:25Bobby Lee?

  Hmm.

• 17:26Speaker 05

  Three, three, three great quotes by three legendary comedians.

• 17:29Bobby Lee?

  Ari, Ari, can I just say something?

• 17:30Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 17:31Bobby Lee?

  It's, this is Mo's section.

• 17:32Speaker 06

  Oh.

• 17:33Speaker 05

  Oh shit, I'm sorry, I, okay. I'm sorry.

• 21:09Bobby Lee?

  I know, you're always slowing, so you can just put a damn I got you, I got you. And then let Mo, you know what I mean? Right. Spill the beans and it's your turn. I got you. Okay, good. Memorize that. Go ahead, Mo. So you grew up in Minnesota. You started in Minnesota?

• 21:22Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 21:22Bobby Lee?

  And then you, did you get hired at Mad TV from Minnesota?

• 21:25Speaker 06

  No, in fact, I was up in Minnesota when Mad TV started.

• 21:28Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 21:29Speaker 06

  And I remember I, you know, I had a newborn at the time and I remember watching the show and I go, "I'm late coming to Los Angeles." I'm like, "I'm late."

• 21:42Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 21:42Speaker 06

  "I'm supposed to be there. I think I'm supposed to be on that show." And then within, you know, my first year of coming out to LA, I got the audition.

• 21:53Bobby Lee?

  Hmm.

• 21:53Speaker 06

  You know, and I knew, I knew, I knew I was right where I should be because there was no other way for me to get into Hollywood, right? It's like my background, sketch and improv, like that's what I do. And so when that audition came up, I'm like, "Here we go." But then I remember it was the fifth one, they sent me home and I'm like, "They fucked up." Why, why'd they send me home? And they sent me home because-

• 22:14Bobby Lee?

  Was it producer's session?

• 22:15Speaker 06

  Yeah, it's like my fifth audition and I'm like, "Why did they send me home?" And I was crushed. I'm like, "They made a mistake." And it was just that they, they knew by that point that they were gonna at least test me.

• 22:25Bobby Lee?

  Oh, I got, that's why.

• 22:26Speaker 06

  You know?

• 22:27Bobby Lee?

  And if you're not fucked up, they don't even ever tell you that shit. So you're left in the fucking wild.

• 22:32Speaker 06

  Yeah, yeah.

• 22:32Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. You'll, you'll get your turn.

• 22:35Speaker 06

  But that's where I met Michael McDonald too. I remember Michael from our audition series.

• 22:41Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 22:41Speaker 06

  You know, and we got to talking a lot in the hall and it was just like, that's where that friendship started.

• 22:46Bobby Lee?

  Well, you weren't first year though.

• 22:48Speaker 06

  I came in season four.

• 22:49Bobby Lee?

  Season four?

• 22:50Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 22:50Bobby Lee?

  With Michael?

• 22:51Speaker 06

  Yep.

• 22:51Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 22:52Speaker 06

  Yep, and Andrew Bowen.

• 22:53Speaker 03

  And quick inter, that's when, that's when I took off hitting the ground running with season four because of you and being the cast.

• 22:59Bobby Lee?

  Oh, so you went on season four?

• 23:01Speaker 03

  No, I started season one. I started from pilot.

• 23:03Bobby Lee?

  Whoa.

• 23:04Speaker 03

  But I didn't feel comfortable.

• 23:06Bobby Lee?

  Oh gee.

• 23:06Speaker 03

  I was there from pilot, but I didn't feel comfortable and feel like I'm in the space I'm meant to be until she came in, in season four.

• 23:13Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 23:13Speaker 03

  That's when it hit for me. That's when I hit the ground running.

• 23:16Bobby Lee?

  Deborah, I don't wanna-

• 23:17Speaker 03

  And when Aries came, boom, hit the ground running.

• 23:18Bobby Lee?

  All right, Deborah, I just wanted, it's not your turn yet.

• 23:27Bobby Lee?

  Oh shit. Deborah, come back up, please. Sprinkle some water. There she is.

• 23:32Speaker 06

  Okay.

• 23:36Bobby Lee?

  Okay, very good.

• 23:41Bobby Lee?

  So, and then, so, did you like it right away, or no?

• 23:44Speaker 06

  Um, well, I loved it, of course, yeah. It was terrifying. I mean, I did not know how to do television.

• 23:49Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 23:50Speaker 06

  You know, I mean, I remember the first sketch I was gonna tape. It was a pre-tape, thank God.

• 23:54Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 23:55Speaker 06

  Cause I didn't even know, like, they do that count. In five, four, three, two. I was back, I'm the first line in the scene, and I'm supposed to enter, and I'm waiting for fucking one.

• 24:04Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 24:04Speaker 06

  They don't call it.

• 24:05Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 24:05Speaker 06

  So, I, no, I didn't enter. And AJ, our, you know, remember?

• 24:10Bobby Lee?

  Oh, AJ, oh, AJ!

• 24:11Speaker 06

  Yeah, AJ was like, "That's you, one, go."

• 24:16Bobby Lee?

  Oh, really?

• 24:16Speaker 06

  And, like, I, I was learning how to do television after being cast.

• 24:21Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 24:22Speaker 06

  You know, so it was, it was, uh, it was a scary, my first season was, um, really kinda scary for me, nerve-wracking, you know? And also, you know, at the end of my first season, everybody had their pickup right at the very last day of working, except for me. Mine came two months later. So, while everybody had their pickup and was celebrating, I, I still didn't even know if they were calling me back. And the only reason I got called back was because I'm Stuart's mother.

• 24:49Bobby Lee?

  Oh, you think?

• 24:50Speaker 06

  I, yeah.

• 24:51Bobby Lee?

  Wow. I don't think.

• 24:54Speaker 05

  Yeah, I don't think so either.

• 24:55Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, but you think.

• 24:56Speaker 06

  Trust.

• 24:57Bobby Lee?

  I trust?

• 24:57Speaker 05

  Like, that's the first time I'm hearing that.

• 24:59Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 24:59Speaker 06

  Yeah, yeah, no, I, I mean, you know, Minnesota-style, like, put shit under the rug. I didn't tell anybody. You guys all happy, and, no, I did not get my pickup.

• 25:07Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 25:09Speaker 06

  I, I was waiting.

• 25:10Bobby Lee?

  You know what's so fucked up, too, is, is like, I remember doing a Connie Chung sketch, that, my very first one, and it was like a monologue, right? And usually they have teleprompters, but I'm mad, they're just, you have to memorize the whole fucking thing.

• 25:22Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 25:23Bobby Lee?

  It was crazy. For the first time, in front of a live audience, and just having a page of fucking dialogue

• 25:30Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 25:30Bobby Lee?

  was so petrifying for me.

• 25:32Speaker 06

  That is scary.

• 25:33Bobby Lee?

  It is scary, with nothing to rea- Okay. Well, I look pretty good.

• 25:37Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 25:38Bobby Lee?

  I look fuckable, dude, you know what I mean? A Woody Allen would go crazy over that.

• 25:43Bobby Lee?

  I would have been that soon, Yi. But, um, well, I did not know that, Mo.

• 25:47Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 25:47Bobby Lee?

  That's incredible.

• 25:48Speaker 03

  Yeah, I'm hearing that.

• 25:49Speaker 06

  Yeah, I had to, I had to kind of, you know, I, I'm not, uh, being a Minnesotan, you know, I was shy of things and I had to learn how to, um, stand up for myself on the show. And I did learn how to do that, but it was really hard. It got to where, you know, because when confrontation used to just make me cry.

• 26:07Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 26:07Speaker 06

  Which I, it was so weak, it didn't do anything. Um, so it got to where I would, all I would have to do, if there was something bad going on or happening to me, um, I would go to Dick Blasucci's office.

• 26:19Bobby Lee?

  Oh, so Blasucci was in charge then?

• 26:21Speaker 06

  Exact producer.

• 26:22Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 26:22Speaker 06

  And I would just tap my foot down as symbolism, I'm putting my foot down.

• 26:26Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 26:27Speaker 06

  And then we'd laugh and then I was able to talk about whatever it is I needed to talk about.

• 26:31Bobby Lee?

  I love that, man.

• 26:32Speaker 06

  I do too.

• 26:33Bobby Lee?

  I pooed in his office.

• 26:34Speaker 06

  Oh, gosh.

• 26:35Speaker 05

  You pooed everywhere.

• 26:38Bobby Lee?

  I pooed everywhere, yeah.

• 26:39Speaker 06

  My dressing room table, was that one?

• 26:41Bobby Lee?

  No, that wasn't, that wasn't you.

• 26:42Speaker 06

  Oh, okay.

• 26:43Bobby Lee?

  I, I pooed in Ike's.

• 26:44Speaker 06

  Ike, that was.

• 26:45Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, do you remember that? Yeah, I pooed it too. Anyway, uh, let's start about poo. Um, but I love Dick and I regret pooing in his office.

• 26:52Speaker 05

  Pause.

• 26:53Bobby Lee?

  I do, that was good. Very good. Wow.

• 26:57Speaker 03

  I do comedy.

• 26:57Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. Do, do you think that like going turn by turn is helping or should we just do a hot spot?

• 27:02Speaker 07

  Oh, let's keep going, let's go there, yeah.

• 27:04Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, okay.

• 27:05Speaker 06

  Is this water?

• 27:06Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, anything you want, Mo. Areas, keep it tight.

• 27:13Bobby Lee?

  How did you get it? Cause I remember you on Def Jam as a young guy.

• 27:17Speaker 05

  Yeah, I did Def Jam when I was, uh, 16. I did Showtime at the Apollo at 17. Moved out to LA, uh, between 17 and 18. Uh, I did a guest spot of warmup for the Fresh Prince of Bel Air where Will Smith and a lot of, uh, NBC execs saw me and from there word got around town quickly. There's this young hot kid in town, he's phenomenal. I got holding deals for five straight years.

• 27:42Bobby Lee?

  Mmm.

• 27:42Speaker 05

  Every network, I probably made a million dollars by the time I was, uh, 19, uh, 20.

• 27:48Bobby Lee?

  Mmm.

• 27:48Speaker 05

  Uh, but I hadn't anything to show for it. I ended up. At, uh, and I actually auditioned for Mad TV the first season. But while I auditioned, I was also doing a pilot for Aaron Spelling called Crotown Traffic, which was kind of a mod squad. He didn't want to let me out of that. Uh, but the, the head of the network at the time, Peter Chernin, was such a big fan of mine after, like, a couple of years of nothing. He said, uh, "Look, man, I know we were supposed to develop something. We didn't, but I love you so much. I want you on this network. I want to put you back on Mad TV. I want to put you on Mad TV." So they put me on third season.

• 28:22Speaker 06

  Wow.

• 28:22Bobby Lee?

  Wow. No audition?

• 28:24Speaker 05

  No, I, I, I auditioned for, with Fax and Adam that first time.

• 28:27Bobby Lee?

  Oh, right, right.

• 28:28Speaker 05

  And they loved me and wanted me then.

• 28:29Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 28:29Speaker 05

  But I couldn't, Aaron Spelling wouldn't let me out.

• 28:31Bobby Lee?

  Oh, right, so.

• 28:32Speaker 05

  So, so they, when I, when I came back the third time, they were like, "Yo, put him on."

• 28:36Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 28:36Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 28:36Bobby Lee?

  And were you, um, happy when you got on that show?

• 28:41Speaker 05

  I was indifferent, man, because you know what? I'm gonna be honest with you.

• 28:43Bobby Lee?

  Because you didn't seem that happy when I was there.

• 28:45Speaker 05

  My, my dream was... My dream was Saturday Night Live.

• 28:50Bobby Lee?

  Oh, here we go!

• 28:52Speaker 05

  That was my dream, man. I, I, I...

• 28:53Bobby Lee?

  Fuck off!

• 28:54Speaker 05

  I wanted, I wanted to take the same path as Eddie Murphy, man. Two, three years on SNL, hit movie, and then the rest is history.

• 29:00Bobby Lee?

  It's cooler. That Mad is cooler.

• 29:02Speaker 05

  Well, listen, um, you know, uh, like I said, I, I, I said to myself, I was disappointed because in the beginning, I was like, I told my manager at the time, "Man, I feel like I'm doing this work on Mad, and nobody's recognizing it, nobody's saying anything, I'm not getting no love, and..."

• 29:17Bobby Lee?

  Isn't that, can I just interject? Isn't that weird? That at the time when I was on it, I didn't feel like I was on a show.

• 29:25Speaker 05

  Right.

• 29:25Bobby Lee?

  Right? It's only later where I was like, "Oh, yeah, I was on a show."

• 29:30Speaker 05

  Well, my manager told me, was like, "Hey, never underestimate the power of television." And then about a year or two later, it just started happening. And I was like, "Oh, shit."

• 29:38Bobby Lee?

  Is that when you got, um, Jerry Maguire?

• 29:41Speaker 05

  I think so, around that time, yeah. Yep.

• 29:45Bobby Lee?

  That's a really good origin story.

• 29:46Speaker 05

  And here's the crazy part, when I auditioned for Jerry Maguire, I auditioned for Cuba's part. And Cameron Crowe basically said to me, he goes, uh, you're not a big enough name for that part, but I like you so much, I'm gonna give you the role of the brother. But what happened is, when I auditioned for Jerry Maguire, that scene where Cuba is on the Roy Fierstein Show,

• 30:05Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 30:06Speaker 05

  And he improvs, "Oh, my baby, I love you, thank you for the conj-." I did that in the audition.

• 30:10Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 30:11Speaker 05

  So he took everything that I did and put it in the script and gave it to Cuba. But the-

• 30:15Bobby Lee?

  Oh, those are your lines.

• 30:16Speaker 05

  Those are my lines.

• 30:16Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 30:17Speaker 05

  But, I mean, the blessing and the curse is, I got to be in the movie.

• 30:21Bobby Lee?

  It's just a blessing. There's no curse.

• 30:23Speaker 05

  Well, I mean, goddamn, you gonna take my dialogue but not use me?

• 30:26Bobby Lee?

  It's not a fucking curse, it's a blessing!

• 30:28Speaker 05

  Hey, man, come on, man.

• 30:30Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean, but don't make me mad.

• 30:32Speaker 05

  Cause you raped me with a condom on, don't mean it still ain't rape. Yeah, I'm supposed to feel good, cause you put a condom on?

• 30:38Bobby Lee?

  Let me think about that. No, hold on, I'm trying to make the connection in my mind.

• 30:44Speaker 05

  Eh.

• 30:45Bobby Lee?

  You're right.

• 30:45Speaker 05

  If somebody raped you, go, "Hey, man, at least I wore a condom." Nigga, you still rape me!

• 30:49Bobby Lee?

  Stop saying the word, maybe? Call it grape or something.

• 30:52Speaker 05

  What, grape?

• 30:53Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, call it grape.

• 30:54Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 30:55Bobby Lee?

  It's not a grape drink reference to black people either.

• 30:57Speaker 05

  I got you, I got you.

• 30:57Bobby Lee?

  Okay, it was just, okay. It was just more play on words on rape.

• 31:02Speaker 03

  Hence why you brought up black people in grape drinks.

• 31:07Bobby Lee?

  Oh, that's my bad. I'm sorry. I apologize.

• 31:11Speaker 06

  I don't get it.

• 31:14Bobby Lee?

  Alright, Deb? You're, so you're OG.

• 31:19Speaker 05

  Everybody pull out your sleeping bags.

• 31:25Speaker 03

  Um, I was in New York, I auditioned for Facts and Adam, and then the second audition was with Artie Lange. And the third audition, uh- Was again with Fax and Adam for sketch material and then LA for sketch material. And the interesting thing was, we were at Fox when we auditioned. There was a room, they put us in an auditorium, a screening room. There were over a hundred people there.

• 31:56Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 31:57Speaker 03

  Way over a hundred.

• 31:58Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 31:58Speaker 03

  And they started eliminating people that day.

• 32:02Bobby Lee?

  So you'd go in, would they verbally say, "You're out"?

• 32:06Speaker 03

  No, they would just come in and say, "Thanks so much for coming. We appreciate your time."

• 32:10Bobby Lee?

  Oh, I see.

• 32:10Speaker 03

  And Lee, and everyone else was there. And it started coming down to like eight people, seven people.

• 32:16Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 32:17Speaker 03

  Yeah, and my audition in LA, pardon me, I was working on a Spike Lee film at the time. I got out of doing that in order to be there and I had to go back the next day. So my audition was with Nicole, was originally with going into the room and then sitting back in. They brought me back in.

• 32:37Bobby Lee?

  Who was the casting director?

• 32:39Speaker 03

  I don't remember.

• 32:40Bobby Lee?

  It wasn't Nicole Garcia, right?

• 32:41Speaker 03

  Yeah, I think it was Nicole Garcia. Thank you for bringing that up.

• 32:44Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 32:44Speaker 03

  So after, after auditioning, and here's the thing, you were in somebody's office. People were sitting on chairs and desks and all of that. You were in somebody's actual physical office.

• 32:54Bobby Lee?

  I've tested for shows like that, I hate it.

• 32:55Speaker 03

  And.

• 32:56Speaker 06

  Deborah, what did you have to do for your audition? Like, did you, did you have to do three original characters and three impressions?

• 33:02Speaker 03

  No, I just did.

• 33:03Speaker 06

  Oh, wow.

• 33:04Speaker 03

  One original character and.

• 33:07Bobby Lee?

  Do you remember it?

• 33:08Speaker 03

  I don't, I don't, I don't do, I don't write monologues. I just go in and improv everything. And so I went in as Bonita Latifah Halifa Shri Fia Jackson.

• 33:16Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 33:17Speaker 03

  And I went in as. Classic, classic. Whoopi Goldberg.

• 33:21Speaker 06

  Right.

• 33:21Speaker 03

  I went in and did my thing and what I did was I just talked to people. And then I pointed things out and then I asked to sit on Quincy Jones' lap.

• 33:29Bobby Lee?

  Oh, he was there? Quincy was in the room?

• 33:30Speaker 03

  Quincy Jones and David Solskjaer were in the room.

• 33:33Bobby Lee?

  Oh, it's old Solskjaer, I love him.

• 33:34Speaker 03

  So I, I, I did that.

• 33:38Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 33:38Speaker 03

  And then as Whoopi, I came out and, and, and talked to people, making it seem like this was my show.

• 33:44Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 33:44Speaker 03

  And they were my audience and, you know, and like I said with Bonita, I was in high school and I was there telling them about my life. And, you know, when they laughed at me, I got pissed off and I started cursing at them.

• 33:57Bobby Lee?

  Oh, wow, crushing though, you're probably crushing.

• 33:59Speaker 03

  Because I don't know why you're laughing at my life. Because you know, that was that kind of a thing because most people think, you know, comedy, you're trying to be funny. No, but you don't think it's funny.

• 34:08Speaker 05

  White folks love them angry niggas. They love them.

• 34:11Speaker 06

  I'm right here. I can hear every word of it.

• 34:14Speaker 05

  They love it.

• 34:15Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 34:16Speaker 03

  We, we were, Nicole and I went in, did a sketch, they brought us back in and they started eliminating people little by little.

• 34:24Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 34:24Speaker 03

  Um, and at the end of the night, I had nowhere to go because I had to fly back.

• 34:29Bobby Lee?

  To New York.

• 34:30Speaker 03

  So they were waiting for the, back to New York to work on, next day I was working on a Spike Lee film.

• 34:33Bobby Lee?

  What, what, who was that?

• 34:35Speaker 03

  Girl 6.

• 34:35Bobby Lee?

  Okay.

• 34:36Speaker 03

  And so, Fax and Adam were like, you know what, we're not supposed to tell you, we're supposed to tell your agent, they loved you, you're in.

• 34:42Bobby Lee?

  Wow. Really good, real good.

• 34:46Speaker 03

  I wasn't happy necessarily, but yeah, I wasn't happy. It wasn't one of those things. It was like, yeah, that's cool. Cause I thought I was gonna do a pilot and go back to New York.

• 34:53Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 34:54Speaker 03

  And when I found it was a series, I was like, fuck.

• 34:56Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. Eris, why do white people, um, like angry black men?

• 35:02Speaker 06

  Okay.

• 35:02Bobby Lee?

  Is that what you're saying?

• 35:03Speaker 05

  Yeah, they, they love the stereotype.

• 35:05Bobby Lee?

  No, I want to, I, I don't know what you're saying. So I just want to be clear.

• 35:09Speaker 05

  I was, I was infusing my.

• 35:11Bobby Lee?

  You have a?

• 35:12Speaker 05

  I was infusing my Paul Mooney impression, that's why. When she said, when she was going about that story. That's what Paul Mooney would've said.

• 35:19Bobby Lee?

  Oh, I see.

• 35:19Speaker 05

  White folks love them angry niggas. They love them.

• 35:23Speaker 05

  You act like an angry nigga, they love it. Oh, he's so real.

• 35:25Bobby Lee?

  I love that guy.

• 35:26Speaker 05

  So authentic.

• 35:27Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow.

• 35:29Speaker 03

  That's, that's the reason.

• 35:30Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. And then so, but when you were, Fax and Adam.

• 35:32Speaker 03

  I was not happy.

• 35:33Bobby Lee?

  I never knew Fax and Adam, did you?

• 35:35Speaker 06

  I did, yeah. Yeah, they were in my auditions, but they, they were handing over, basically, the reins at that point, um, to like Dick Plisucci.

• 35:44Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 35:45Speaker 06

  So, yeah, but they were, they were there throughout my process.

• 35:48Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 35:48Speaker 06

  The whole time.

• 35:49Bobby Lee?

  Never met them.

• 35:50Speaker 06

  Oh my god.

• 35:50Bobby Lee?

  I didn't know anything about it.

• 35:51Speaker 06

  Wow.

• 35:52Speaker 03

  I wasn't, I wasn't particularly, for me, like you, I was not particularly, uh, happy because I thought, I'm, um, at the time, I thought, um, I'm a fraud and they're gonna find out. I, I had that.

• 36:05Bobby Lee?

  See, why, let me say this, I have, I've carried that all my life. What, do you have that?

• 36:11Speaker 06

  Imposters.

• 36:11Bobby Lee?

  Do you have it?

• 36:12Speaker 06

  It's, I don't know many actors.

• 36:14Bobby Lee?

  Who doesn't have it?

• 36:15Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 36:16Speaker 03

  I think universally, everyone has it.

• 36:18Bobby Lee?

  You don't have it.

• 36:20Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 36:20Bobby Lee?

  I know that about it.

• 36:21Speaker 05

  I know I'm the shit.

• 36:22Speaker 03

  Yeah. And see, at the time, but my thing is this. I knew what I could do, but I was doing it in an element that was comfortable for me.

• 36:30Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 36:31Speaker 03

  L.A. was new, it was a television series, people were jockeying for position, that wasn't my life. I already had a career, I had already been working, I was already loving what I did.

• 36:40Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 36:40Speaker 03

  I was loving my life the way it is. My personal side was a very fucked up thing, psychologically, emotionally, sexually, spiritually, all of that stuff. And so coming here and bringing all that shit.

• 36:50Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 36:50Speaker 03

  And then trying to do it on this show was going to be a nightmare because I thought everybody else wants to be here because everybody else really wants the top. I did not want that, I just wanted to enjoy my creative space and I was already doing that. So when I, by the time I booked the show, it was like, do I have what it takes?

• 37:06Bobby Lee?

  You like this as a baby, like?

• 37:12Speaker 03

  I have a picture, I actually have a picture in my fucking phone to prove it.

• 37:16Speaker 05

  You do?

• 37:17Speaker 03

  Uh huh.

• 37:18Bobby Lee?

  Can I see it?

• 37:19Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 37:19Bobby Lee?

  Okay. This is a great so far.

• 37:21Speaker 06

  Aries has never felt.

• 37:25Speaker 05

  What do you mean, Mo? I love it.

• 37:27Speaker 03

  Oh, it's just my white opinion.

• 37:32Speaker 03

  Which I now, today's, today's current administration, it matters.

• 37:36Speaker 06

  Oh, God. You've never had imposter syndrome? You always knew?

• 37:40Speaker 05

  Listen, I've got, I, I, you know, I get in trouble for, you know, listen, I've always had confidence, I've always stepped like I'm the baddest motherfucker in the room.

• 37:48Speaker 06

  I think that's great.

• 37:49Speaker 05

  But, but no, because, because people, people go, Aries is arrogant, he's cocky.

• 37:53Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 37:54Speaker 05

  You know, but I'm, I'm an alpha male from New York and I'm in Aries and, you know, I grew up in the eighties, I built eighties tough. So, you know what I mean?

• 38:00Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 38:01Speaker 05

  I just own it.

• 38:02Speaker 06

  I love that.

• 38:03Speaker 05

  The people that I idolize, Eddie Murphy.

• 38:05Speaker 06

  I've worked for that.

• 38:06Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 38:06Speaker 05

  You know, they own it.

• 38:07Bobby Lee?

  We have to work for that.

• 38:08Speaker 06

  I mean, I'm, I've arrived finally, you know, I'm about to turn sixty and it's like, I've finally fucking got there where it's like, no, I am the shit.

• 38:17Bobby Lee?

  Yes.

• 38:17Speaker 05

  But listen, I, I'm there now.

• 38:19Bobby Lee?

  And I'm there, I'm there too.

• 38:20Speaker 05

  But listen, I swear to God, every interview I've ever done.

• 38:23Bobby Lee?

  You believe in God?

• 38:25Speaker 05

  I believe in magic.

• 38:27Bobby Lee?

  Don't, don't say God then.

• 38:28Speaker 05

  Okay. Um, I've told everybody that whenever they've asked me about this show, and I've, I've said it a hundred percent. Fuck me, whether it's Will, Mo, Deborah, Nicole, as much as I had my beef with her, Alex, Michael, phenomenal talents. And I would always go, there's no reason why they should not be working in the mainstream, on everybody's living rooms. They're fucking supremely talented.

• 38:57Speaker 06

  Agreed.

• 38:57Speaker 05

  And it would frustrate me.

• 38:59Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 39:00Bobby Lee?

  You know, it's so funny, I remember when I left the show, like people, because I had friends on SNL, and when they leave the show, they get deals and all these things, right? And then I remember one time, I waited in this long line with Ike Barinholtz, we were auditioning, it was like a cattle call.

• 39:14Speaker 06

  Really?

• 39:15Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, and we were like, this is it, this is what we got, nothing. We got nothing.

• 39:22Speaker 06

  It did seem like, didn't we sort of joke like there's this curse? But it really wasn't a curse, it wasn't so much that as that we had, you know, I'm gonna say it, Solzmann did not allow for us to go forward and expand the show. We, you know, the timing was not great when, you know, YouTube wasn't really happening to the degree that propelled people forward. But also, he did not, he did not have us making Stewart films, Lorraine movies, you know, that should have been happening. There's so many, we couldn't even go off during, you know, and go do a guest star on something.

• 39:57Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 39:58Speaker 06

  You know, I don't know how many times I begged, I had offers and things, and they're trying to say, this is good for the show.

• 40:05Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 40:05Speaker 06

  And you can work around me.

• 40:07Bobby Lee?

  Like merch, merch too, no merch.

• 40:10Speaker 06

  Exactly, these things, all that stuff is shut down, and that's, you know, you gotta spend money to make money.

• 40:16Bobby Lee?

  No billboards.

• 40:17Speaker 06

  No billboards, no nothing. We certainly didn't have Fox's support.

• 40:21Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 40:22Speaker 06

  Paul joked that we were the bastard child of Fox, and we were.

• 40:25Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 40:25Speaker 06

  You know, so those things, it crushed us, and it did not propel us the way that it really could. I still have people saying, where's a Lorraine movie? And honestly, God, I fucking should, because I own that bitch.

• 40:38Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 40:38Speaker 06

  I still have that contract in my garage.

• 40:40Bobby Lee?

  Oh, so you, in your contract?

• 40:41Speaker 06

  I own Lorraine.

• 40:42Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 40:43Speaker 06

  I own the three that I auditioned with.

• 40:45Speaker 05

  And I just want to say, you know, and this is the part where, you know, and listen,

• 40:48Bobby Lee?

  Deborah, you don't have to find it, I mean.

• 40:51Bobby Lee?

  Like 20 minutes.

• 40:52Speaker 05

Gabriel, you don't have to find it. I mean...

• 43:02Bobby Lee?

  Twenty minutes.

• 43:04Speaker 05

  You know, I've been described as bitter and I hate that word because I just, you know. But I guess maybe that maybe that is what it is because you know, I'd sat back and I went, Jesus. The people that really built the show made it and now it's like, and no disrespect to them, but Ike Baranow, Key and Peele, and I'm like, that show was was built by this nucleus. And I'm just like, I don't get it. I it's a head scratcher. I don't get it.

• 43:32Speaker 06

  But that's also could have to do with where technology was at at the time too. Like I say, YouTube coming in.

• 43:38Bobby Lee?

  If TikTok was around.

• 43:39Speaker 06

  Exactly.

• 43:40Bobby Lee?

  During Mad, we'd be the biggest fucking thing.

• 43:41Speaker 06

  Right. And like, you know, just on the other side, age wise too, it's like that 10 years is a huge difference in terms of who's going to pay any attention to me on a TikTok or YouTube when those things are starting. You know, so that's, I think, I have kind of, aside from, yes, these people are multi talented and deserve what is happening to them. But I think that it had a lot to do with the technology that was in place at a certain time and sadly, we just.

• 44:08Speaker 05

  Right. No, I get.

• 44:09Speaker 06

  We were before it. We just have like videotaped fuzzy bits on YouTube.

• 44:14Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 44:14Speaker 06

  You know.

• 44:15Speaker 03

  And not even those anymore. But because you know, you would get maybe a couple of seasons on a DVD collection or something like that and then not at all.

• 44:22Speaker 06

  What was that?

• 44:23Bobby Lee?

  But here's. Deborah, put your phone away.

• 44:26Speaker 03

  Shut up.

• 44:29Speaker 05

  Here's what's surreal though, and we were talking about this outside before we started. It's like, because I'm doing these stand up clips now, I had two young kids say to me, I was in Detroit, I'm going down the escalator. This one kid couldn't have been no more than 18 and he goes, you're the TikTok guy. Like, like, like I just started this shit and another and another kid.

• 44:51Bobby Lee?

  And you know what you say to that, Aries? Thank you.

• 44:53Speaker 05

  Of course.

• 44:54Bobby Lee?

  No, that's not what you say.

• 44:56Speaker 05

  What did I say?

• 44:57Bobby Lee?

  I am sure it's not thank you.

• 44:58Speaker 05

  No, trust me, it really was.

• 44:59Bobby Lee?

  You don't have been around, you know.

• 45:01Speaker 05

  I don't know. No, I said, thank you, but I'm just going to most point.

• 45:05Bobby Lee?

  I felt it felt like I was going to go into something that's going to that was going to be uncomfortable.

• 45:08Speaker 05

  No, not at all. But it to most point. Yeah, had we had the TikToks and the

• 45:13Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 45:14Speaker 05

  All that shit.

• 45:15Bobby Lee?

  Oh my god.

• 45:15Speaker 05

  I think it might have made a difference.

• 45:16Bobby Lee?

  It would have been a huge difference.

• 45:17Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 45:17Speaker 06

  Do you hate that? Here's an

• 45:19Speaker 05

  No, I mean, I, I, I, listen, I'm, I'm a dinosaur. I'm, I'm, I don't come from that era.

• 45:23Bobby Lee?

  Hmm.

• 45:23Speaker 05

  But I, I'm realizing you need that shit.

• 45:26Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 45:26Speaker 05

  And I hate doing it. Like, I wish I didn't have to do any of it.

• 45:29Speaker 06

  Here's something weird about TikTok and that whole world. Like, okay, so every Halloween, it comes around, people start sending, you know, pictures. They're dressed as Stuart and Doreen, you know, things, and Lorraine. And that's always been great. And now what happens on TikTok is these people dressed like my characters, and they've got millions of views. And they're making more than I probably made

• 45:55Speaker 06

  in the six seasons I was on Mad TV.

• 45:57Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 45:57Speaker 06

  Do you know what I'm saying?

• 45:58Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 45:58Speaker 06

  But here's, so I, this year, I just said, what would happen if OG Doreen did a video on, on TikTok?

• 46:06Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 46:06Speaker 06

  What's gonna happen? Cause I

• 46:08Bobby Lee?

  Did you do it?

• 46:09Speaker 06

  So I did it.

• 46:09Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 46:10Speaker 06

  Most people, and I'm gonna go 50%, thought that I was an impersonator. Telling me that, that's pretty good. That's a, that's a pretty good Doreen.

• 46:22Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 46:22Speaker 06

  Yeah, yeah. And then the people that did, you know, it's me and like, oh my god, they were, they went crazy, like, you raised me. Like, people were emotional.

• 46:31Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 46:31Speaker 06

  It was really something to like, tell us more, give us more, give us more. So I'm like, okay, cause I ended up getting like 100,000 followers off of doing Doreen.

• 46:40Bobby Lee?

  Well, you keep doing it. What if you were rain?

• 46:42Speaker 06

  I was, and I fucking did, and they get nothing. So what do I do? Do you know what I'm saying?

• 46:49Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 46:49Speaker 06

  It's, it's almost like, that world doesn't want me to do it, they want to do it.

• 46:55Bobby Lee?

  Can I say what it is?

• 46:57Speaker 06

  Tell me what it is.

• 46:58Bobby Lee?

  Aries probably knows, right? When things go viral, right? You have to put out a thousand clips, right? For one thing to go viral. Right?

• 47:05Speaker 05

  That's why I say I hate doing this.

• 47:06Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 47:07Speaker 06

  Well, I started doing TikTok every day. I would do lives. I started to play the game.

• 47:11Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 47:12Speaker 06

  Because I thought, okay, I just got 100,000 followers. I'm gonna see what happens because I could use a check.

• 47:18Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 47:18Speaker 06

  And nothing happened.

• 47:21Bobby Lee?

  Keep doing it.

• 47:22Speaker 06

  It was just like, well, we're, you, you all told me to tell a story or, you know, tell stories. And so I did that.

• 47:28Bobby Lee?

  Hmm.

• 47:28Speaker 06

  I did exactly, cause that's, I'm a caterer, god damn it. I give people what they want.

• 47:33Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 47:33Speaker 06

  I do, like.

• 47:34Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. I mean, look at, look at her. Look at her. Yeah, wow. Before you guys came here, we ranked ourselves. What would you rank yourself sexually, you think?

• 47:46Speaker 06

  Oh shit.

• 47:47Bobby Lee?

  What? Wait. No, it wasn't sexually. What is it? It was just physical appearance. Physical appearance, that's what I meant. Not personality, it was sexually. Oh yeah, that's my bad. Physical appearance.

• 47:55Speaker 06

  From back in the day?

• 47:55Bobby Lee?

  No, from now. I mean, just in general.

• 47:57Speaker 00

  He wants to know what you guys would rate him now. He's curious.

• 48:00Bobby Lee?

  No, I'm not. No, that's the way. Wait, Gilbert, fuck you, dude. I wasn't doing it.

• 48:02Speaker 05

  Let me tell you something.

• 48:04Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 48:04Speaker 05

  There's a, there's a-

• 48:05Bobby Lee?

  Oh, I want you to rate me.

• 48:07Speaker 05

  Oh, no, no.

• 48:07Bobby Lee?

  I want you to-

• 48:08Speaker 05

  I'm gonna rate you.

• 48:08Bobby Lee?

  Hey, I'm gonna rate you.

• 48:09Speaker 05

  Okay, hold up though. But in my defense, let me say this, and I hope you pull it up. Me now? I'm not what I used to be.

• 48:17Bobby Lee?

  No shit.

• 48:19Speaker 06

  Duh.

  Well, hold up. Well, hold up. Yeah, hold up.

  You can't tell me I'm not a sexy motherfucker, boy. Pull them goddamn-

• 48:36Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

  With makeup.

• 48:38Speaker 05

  Nah, bruh. Nah, man. I had the Eddie Murphy twist. The fucking-

• 48:42Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, that was good.

• 48:43Speaker 05

  Oh, it was the way that shadow hit me.

• 48:45Bobby Lee?

  Aries, you in the wild, no point no.

• 48:47Speaker 06

  That was great. That was my, those were really good.

• 48:49Speaker 05

  Oh!

  Oh, really?

  Season five?

  I was that dude.

• 48:52Speaker 06

  Those were good.

• 48:53Bobby Lee?

  They were.

• 48:54Speaker 06

  They were really good.

• 48:55Speaker 05

  Let me tell you something. The 90s for me, pussy-wise, I put up Will Chamberlain numbers.

• 49:00Speaker 05

  I put up Will Chamberlain numbers, son.

• 49:01Speaker 06

  Do you know when I first got hired on Mad TV? And they brought, oh god, see, look at that. Those are beautiful.

• 49:06Bobby Lee?

  Wow, beautiful. I want to see Aries. Hold on, let's go see Aries.

• 49:09Speaker 05

  I come after Will.

  Those are so pretty. I just love them. I remember loving them. Still do. They're gorgeous.

• 49:15Bobby Lee?

  Oh, I love Phil.

• 49:16Speaker 06

  And we do comedy.

• 49:19Speaker 05

  Oh, I'm next.

• 49:20Bobby Lee?

  You're next?

• 49:20Speaker 05

  Oh no, after Will.

• 49:22Bobby Lee?

  Will?

• 49:23Speaker 06

  Look at that.

• 49:23Bobby Lee?

  Handsome.

  Yeah.

  Come on, man.

• 49:27Speaker 06

  Oh, yep.

  Really?

  Come on, man!

• 49:32Bobby Lee?

  You know what? You're right.

• 49:33Speaker 05

  Yeah, goddammit!

• 49:34Bobby Lee?

  I felt something. Wow! It was deception, but I felt it. Lugadara, wow!

• 49:40Speaker 06

  Gorgeous.

• 49:41Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 49:41Speaker 00

  Sexy.

• 49:42Bobby Lee?

  So, Mo ranked herself, you think? Should we rank Mo? No shit. I think you're, I think you're a nine.

• 49:49Speaker 06

  Now?

• 49:50Bobby Lee?

  No, I'm just saying, in general.

• 49:53Speaker 06

  Oh.

• 49:53Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean? Throughout your life, you know what I mean?

• 49:55Speaker 06

  Okay, well, why not?

• 49:55Bobby Lee?

  Oh, so your age is equated into it and stuff like that?

• 49:58Speaker 06

  How come not 10?

• 49:59Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 50:02Speaker 06

  Come on Bobby.

• 50:05Bobby Lee?

  Because I rate myself a four.

• 50:08Speaker 05

  I was gonna give you a strong five.

• 50:11Bobby Lee?

  That hurts so bad.

• 50:12Speaker 05

  Strong five. That means you almost leaning into six.

• 50:16Bobby Lee?

  Oh, strong.

• 50:17Speaker 05

  Strong five.

• 50:18Bobby Lee?

  Can you just for old times sake, give me a six?

• 50:20Speaker 05

  Your toe is on six, but not your body.

• 50:24Bobby Lee?

  Okay, that's fair enough. Eris, what do you rank yourself?

• 50:27Speaker 05

  Now?

• 50:28Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. No, just in general.

• 50:32Speaker 05

  With the swagger and the confidence?

• 50:34Bobby Lee?

  No, that, that, only physical. We're not going, with swagger and confidence, bro?

• 50:39Speaker 05

  Oh, nigga, naked, I look like Esther Roll.

• 50:43Bobby Lee?

  What's Esther Roll?

• 50:44Speaker 05

  The mother from Good Times.

• 50:45Bobby Lee?

  Oh, yeah.

• 50:48Bobby Lee?

  You do? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Naked? Yeah, yeah. It's good or bad?

• 50:51Speaker 05

  Oh, it's horrendous.

• 50:52Bobby Lee?

  It's horrendous? Yeah, yeah.

• 50:55Speaker 05

  Not the face, the body.

• 50:57Speaker 06

  Body.

• 51:02Bobby Lee?

  Whoa, you do? Yeah, yeah. So what do you rank yourself here?

• 51:05Speaker 05

  I don't know, about a, about, about, six and a half, seven?

• 51:12Bobby Lee?

  Hmm, interesting. Deborah?

• 51:14Speaker 03

  I don't play games like that.

• 51:16Bobby Lee?

  Oh, I see. You're a nine?

• 51:18Speaker 03

  No, I don't play games like that because it's bullshit, number one. Number two, you either love yourself or you don't.

• 51:24Bobby Lee?

  Oh, here we go.

• 51:25Speaker 05

  Let me redirect my energy.

• 51:26Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, we went from a silly game to serious.

• 51:30Speaker 03

  No, I'm just keeping it real. I'm just keeping it real.

• 51:34Speaker 06

  But that's also what women do at a certain age too. You know what I'm saying? Like, I, like, we, we, we leave that field.

• 51:40Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 51:40Speaker 06

  Do you know, you know what I mean? And it's like, exactly what you say.

• 51:43Bobby Lee?

  I called you mama, I'm sorry.

• 51:44Speaker 06

  We give zero fucks about that.

• 51:47Speaker 03

  Zero fucks.

• 51:48Speaker 06

  Zero fucks about that.

• 51:49Speaker 03

  It's, it's, I'm like, what?

• 51:51Bobby Lee?

  It was just a silly game?

• 51:52Speaker 03

  It's very silly.

• 51:53Speaker 05

  Let me, let me, let me be honest.

• 51:54Speaker 03

  It's a little silly.

• 51:55Speaker 05

  Let me be honest.

• 51:55Speaker 03

  I'm a ten, I'm a ten. Yeah, you are. I'm a fucking ten.

• 51:59Speaker 05

  Oh, you're a ten, you're a ten.

• 52:00Speaker 03

  Fuck, yeah, you damn right. I'm a fucking ten because I'm alive.

• 52:02Speaker 05

  Yeah, there's been many people that ask me, yo, what's Deborah like? Yo, like, y'all be, y'all seem like, y'all kinda, and I go, yo, she's my sister. I mean, we never did anything, but I ain't gonna lie, I wanted to bang her.

• 52:14Speaker 03

  But my, my, the thing is, remember we did that shit? I came up to Aries and I said, yo, Aries, at the end of the show, let's make it seem like there's more going on between us. Now, we built the story, so at the end of each show, one time it was all love, love, love, and then we started building tension, and then we started coming to separa- people are like, what the fuck is going on? At the end of the show.

• 52:32Speaker 06

  What?

• 52:32Speaker 03

  You don't remember? Cause I was like, eh, eh, cause everyone kept asking Aries, I was like, let's build a story where, where there's something going on, like at the end of the show.

• 52:39Speaker 05

  The climax was when we French kissed.

• 52:40Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 52:41Speaker 05

  Yeah, my dick was hard.

• 52:42Speaker 03

  Oh shit. Cause I was like, we would stand next to each other and I would rub him a certain way or whatever, or when the audience was clapping and the music was playing, we would be away from each, eh, be away from the cast just talking to each other and people are like, what the fuck?

• 52:55Speaker 05

  Let me tell you, man, eh, and we all know, in terms of comedic chemistry.

• 53:00Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 53:00Speaker 05

  We, some of our dance partners were better than others. It's like, I love working with Will, cause I felt like me and Will banged like that.

• 53:07Bobby Lee?

  Hmm.

• 53:07Speaker 05

  Me and Deborah, me and Mo.

• 53:09Bobby Lee?

  Hmm.

• 53:09Speaker 05

  And yeah, I, I worked with Nicole, I worked with Alex, I worked with Michael, but I never felt like we danced the perfect dance comedically together, like with these peo- with these guys.

• 53:20Speaker 06

  Who did you feel that with?

• 53:23Speaker 06

  The perfect dance?

• 53:24Bobby Lee?

  Oh, oh, oh, dance, that dance. Um, it probably, um, no offense, but probably, um, the later generation of people.

• 53:30Speaker 05

  That's fair.

• 53:31Speaker 03

  That's very fair.

• 53:32Bobby Lee?

  Like Flanagan, you know what I mean? I did a lot with her and, um, uh, Nicole Parker, these types of people, you know? Ike and I did a lot together. Ike and I, yeah. But not that, um, I liked dancing with you guys. And they were very cosmic dancers.

• 53:45Speaker 03

  You and I didn't work a lot together to begin with.

• 53:47Bobby Lee?

  That's, you were my first sketch.

• 53:49Speaker 03

  Right.

• 53:50Bobby Lee?

  Do you know what my first sketch was?

• 53:51Speaker 03

  No.

• 53:52Bobby Lee?

  You were Chris Tucker and I was Jackie Chan.

• 53:56Speaker 03

  That's right!

• 53:58Bobby Lee?

  And also Will was Lance Bass, I think, or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's this?

• 54:04Speaker 03

  No, what's this? Is that not? No, it was, I looked like Chris, and I was Chris, I was Chris Tucker.

• 54:09Speaker 05

  That was Seven Buddy Cops, wasn't it?

• 54:12Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, definitely.

• 54:13Speaker 03

  I think it was because I actually worked with the actual Jackie Chan as Chris Tucker.

• 54:17Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's why I pooed in Dick Blasucci's office.

• 54:22Speaker 03

  I actually did a sketch with Jackie Chan as Chris Tucker.

• 54:25Bobby Lee?

  A letter, and I go, "Dear Dick, right, I'm a huge fan of Jackie Chan. I don't even have to have a line, right, just put me in the background. I just want to meet him." Then I'm watching Mad one day and he's on it with you, right, and the next day at work, I pooed in his office.

• 54:43Speaker 06

  Oh my god.

• 54:44Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, that's what you get.

• 54:45Speaker 06

  You could've just put your foot down.

• 54:47Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, you're right. Is that it?

• 54:49Speaker 03

  No, that's not the sketch. It was a, it was a sketch with, um...

• 54:54Speaker 00

  No, it's...

• 54:56Bobby Lee?

  This is it, yeah. This is exactly what it is.

• 55:01Bobby Lee?

  Wow. Yeah, that was it. That was my first sketch. My first live.

• 55:04Speaker 03

  Oh, wow.

• 55:05Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, I don't want to see it. Thank you. Yeah, that was it. And, um, you know what? You made me feel very comfortable that day. You were very positive. I've always loved you.

• 55:16Speaker 03

  I've always loved you too, and my thing was this, I could tell you were nervous and you just needed someone to know that you were on your corner. If you're on this show, you fucking belong here. And that was my motto. If you're on this show, you fucking belong here and you have every right to feel comfortable.

• 55:31Speaker 03

  You know, but also as a woman, I wanted to nurture you because I wanted to feel like, you know, you were okay on and off the set.

• 55:38Speaker 06

  I felt the same about you.

• 55:39Bobby Lee?

  You were so nice to me, Mo. Oh my god. That's why you're always my forever person.

• 55:43Speaker 06

  I remember one time, you know, just behind the sets, and you were so nervous, uh, pretty, it probably was a live, and you were just so nervous, and I'm like, "This is, do you know how, do you know how lucky we are? We get to go out and make these people laugh. That's why you're here and that's all you have to do." But you were terrified.

• 56:00Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 56:01Speaker 06

  You were having a bad moment.

• 56:02Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 56:03Speaker 06

  And I'm like, "No."

• 56:04Bobby Lee?

  My confidence came after you guys left, when I was like, I became you guys.

• 56:09Speaker 06

  This is probably why you felt more towards, you know, the Flannikins and stuff.

• 56:12Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 56:13Speaker 06

  Because of that.

• 56:14Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, that's when I felt my confidence. I'm the old guy now, and, you know, but like...

• 56:20Speaker 03

  But it's nice to have people like Mo be able to, and Aries to be able to pass, eventually, pass that baton.

• 56:26Speaker 00

  Sense the tension between Bobby and Aries?

• 56:29Speaker 03

  No.

• 56:29Speaker 00

  No. Oh.

• 56:30Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, there was no communication. Yeah. It was all friction.

• 56:34Speaker 05

  Yeah, but it wasn't even like I, it wasn't even like I went to somebody and said, man, this fucking Bobby Lee. I just, you know, I know how I felt and I just kept it to myself.

• 56:42Bobby Lee?

  I get it, and I didn't know how I felt.

• 56:44Speaker 03

  And had, let me tell you something, had he come, had he said something to me, he and I would have had a talk. He would, he and I would have had a talk.

• 56:50Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I wish.

• 56:51Speaker 03

  Very friendly and caring, but I, I, I love him and I know he has the capacity to love others.

• 56:56Bobby Lee?

  I love you so much, dude. I really do.

• 56:58Speaker 05

  Dude, I'm telling you.

• 56:59Bobby Lee?

  I love you so much.

• 57:00Speaker 05

  People think my, my, because of my exterior, and I'll take some of the blame, partly of.

• 57:04Bobby Lee?

  Please.

• 57:04Speaker 05

  Because of some of the things I say.

• 57:06Bobby Lee?

  Take most of the blame.

• 57:08Speaker 05

  Because of some of the things I say, I know my mouth is my biggest attribute, but I also know it's my biggest detriment.

• 57:14Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 57:15Speaker 05

  So, but it's like when you really get to know me, know me.

• 57:17Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 57:18Speaker 05

  Dude, come on, man, I ain't that, I ain't that nigga.

• 57:20Speaker 03

  I think I'm the only one on Mad TV that's ever seen Aries cry.

• 57:23Speaker 06

  Oh, no, I've seen him cry.

• 57:24Speaker 03

  Oh, you have?

• 57:25Bobby Lee?

  You've cried?

• 57:26Speaker 03

  Oh, yeah. What? Okay.

• 57:28Speaker 05

  Dude, I love Sex and the City. You know I'm, I'm vulnerable, man. You know I'm.

• 57:32Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 57:33Speaker 05

  You know I'm.

• 57:33Speaker 03

  So you cry?

• 57:35Speaker 05

  Fuck you, Bobby.

• 57:35Speaker 03

  No, no. What you cry, what, what you? Fuck you, man. What you cry about?

• 57:40Bobby Lee?

  What you cry about? My little baby boy, what you cry about?

• 57:44Speaker 05

  Listen, man, listen, uh, you know, when you, when you feel close to people.

• 57:48Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 57:48Speaker 05

  And you feel like you can let your guard down, you let it, you let it go.

• 57:51Bobby Lee?

  But do you remember why, what he cried about?

• 57:53Speaker 06

  I'm trying to think, yeah.

• 57:55Speaker 03

  I do, and I'm, and, but that's, that's, that's not up to me to say.

• 57:57Bobby Lee?

  Is that me?

• 57:58Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 57:58Speaker 05

  Who the fuck else you think that is?

• 58:00Speaker 00

  You play a lot of women in this show.

• 58:02Bobby Lee?

  I know, I know. They didn't know what else to do with them.

• 58:04Speaker 05

  So did I, once Deborah left.

• 58:05Bobby Lee?

  Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 58:07Speaker 05

  I played all the black women.

• 58:08Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I remember that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, what you cry, baby?

• 58:14Bobby Lee?

  Do you remember at all?

• 58:15Speaker 05

  I don't.

• 58:16Speaker 03

  I do, I do, but it's, that's not up to me to say.

• 58:19Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, okay.

• 58:20Speaker 03

  But it was, it was.

• 58:21Bobby Lee?

  It was tender?

• 58:22Speaker 03

  No, it was out of a frustration and an anger and feeling.

• 58:28Bobby Lee?

  I know what it is.

• 58:28Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 58:29Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, okay, let's move on.

• 58:31Speaker 05

  Yeah, listen dude, I, I just feel like-

• 58:33Bobby Lee?

  Can I just say that when that shit was happening is when I came on.

• 58:35Speaker 05

  What?

• 58:36Bobby Lee?

  When all that stuff was happening.

• 58:38Speaker 05

  Oh.

• 58:38Bobby Lee?

  Right? And I came into the show with that.

• 58:41Speaker 03

  Oh.

• 58:41Bobby Lee?

  Right? And so I could feel it, I didn't know what any of the, of the information was.

• 58:45Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 58:46Bobby Lee?

  Because at the time, I thought it was me.

• 58:48Speaker 05

  Oh.

• 58:49Bobby Lee?

  At the time, I was like-

• 58:50Speaker 03

  Wow.

• 58:50Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, like, there's something going on, it doesn't feel right.

• 58:53Speaker 03

  Ooh.

• 58:53Bobby Lee?

  Right? And only later, then I was like, oh, I put everything together, I go, oh, I came in in the wrong time.

• 58:59Speaker 03

  True.

• 59:00Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean? Because it's like, um, I don't know, it was just weird, and we can't talk about it, but, um, yeah, so, I, and I understand what it is, and you know what, I, I would've cried too.

• 59:09Speaker 03

  Because it affected everything.

• 59:10Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, it affected everything from top to bottom.

• 59:13Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 59:13Bobby Lee?

  And I felt it, it was really weird.

• 59:15Speaker 05

  Like these young kids say now, you know, I'm gonna give you your flowers. I just felt like, goddamn, man. How am I getting my flowers, man?

• 59:23Bobby Lee?

  You have your flowers.

• 59:24Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 59:25Bobby Lee?

  Listen to me. Listen to me, Aries. We're the luckiest people on this planet.

• 59:30Speaker 05

  We are, when you put it in perspective-

• 59:32Bobby Lee?

  That's, that's what you have to-

• 59:32Speaker 05

  Take a deep breath.

• 59:33Speaker 03

  And keep it in perspective. Then put it in perspective and keep it in perspective.

• 59:37Bobby Lee?

  You know, in AA, right, there's a term, wear a new pair of glasses. Just look at it in a certain way. Right, because, you know, I mean, what, what our brains are thinking isn't what, who we really are.

• 59:49Speaker 03

  Mm-hmm.

• 59:49Bobby Lee?

  Right? It's the observer that's observing the thinking is who we really are.

• 59:54Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 59:54Bobby Lee?

  Okay?

• 59:55Speaker 03

  And always remember this too. Whatever you focus on increases.

• 59:59Speaker 05

  Well, I've been focusing a long time, waiting for some shit to increase.

• 1:00:03Speaker 03

  You know what I'm saying? Whatever you focus on increases, so be careful and full of care what you focus on, brother.

• 1:00:08Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, also, I'm sorry dude, I played the Columbus Funny Bone recently. Were you just there?

• 1:00:12Speaker 05

  Yeah, this weekend.

• 1:00:12Bobby Lee?

  Exact, exactly, right? That's an A room.

• 1:00:15Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:00:16Bobby Lee?

  You sold good tickets?

• 1:00:17Speaker 05

  Sold out.

• 1:00:18Bobby Lee?

  Fuck you then.

• 1:00:19Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:00:19Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:00:22Speaker 03

  Thank you Bobby.

• 1:00:23Bobby Lee?

  Fuck you, dog. Thank you mama.

• 1:00:31Bobby Lee?

  Wear a new pair of glasses, guy.

• 1:00:33Speaker 06

  Yup.

• 1:00:35Bobby Lee?

  And don't stick your tongue out, man, dude.

• 1:00:36Speaker 05

  Listen, listen. I just turned 50. I just got these.

• 1:00:39Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:00:40Speaker 05

  Glasses.

• 1:00:41Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, wow.

• 1:00:42Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:00:43Bobby Lee?

  We're all, it just, we live better than 99.9% of people.

• 1:00:48Speaker 05

  No, no one's, no one's disagreeing with that, but, but in your heart at night, when you lay your head down on that pillow, and you say to yourself, "I know I deserve more."

• 1:00:57Speaker 06

  No, that's what you say.

• 1:00:58Speaker 05

  That's what you say.

• 1:01:00Speaker 05

  We don't think that. I never think about it.

• 1:01:02Speaker 06

  I go in the fuck.

• 1:01:02Speaker 05

  You don't think that?

• 1:01:03Bobby Lee?

  I think Aries deserves more in my mind, about to go to bed.

• 1:01:07Speaker 05

  You don't think that? Yeah, I don't think that about you. Based on your level of talent.

• 1:01:11Speaker 06

  Uh, yes, I, I.

• 1:01:13Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 1:01:13Speaker 06

  I will admit, I, I wonder, I wonder, I wonder why it went a certain way. I have accepted it. Do you know what I'm saying? I, doesn't mean I, I stopped doing and being and having the talent that I have, but there's a certain level of acceptance that after fucking decades.

• 1:01:34Speaker 06

  You know?

• 1:01:35Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:01:35Speaker 06

  You have to, you have to just go, "This is my, this is my journey. This is what my journey's gonna be. Not what I thought it was gonna be." And look, I've had some crazy shit happen in my life.

• 1:01:47Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:01:47Speaker 06

  That I certainly did not think was gonna be part, but that's my journey. And here's the thing. I'm a resilient mofo. Motherfucker.

• 1:01:56Speaker 05

  Yeah, dog, what's up?

• 1:01:58Speaker 06

  So that's my journey.

• 1:01:59Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:02:00Speaker 06

  Do I have this big Hollywood career? I do not. And to be perfectly honest, I, I don't know that that's what I want anymore. I'd like some money, but,

• 1:02:12Speaker 06

  you know?

• 1:02:12Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:02:12Speaker 06

  I, my, I, what I'm ending up with is a different kind of richness.

• 1:02:19Bobby Lee?

  Cause you're wealthy.

• 1:02:20Speaker 06

  And now, have I had to choose that to, in order to have that glass half-full? Perhaps. Perhaps I have. But my glass is half-full because I see where I've arrived. And that is that I'm a resilient motherfucker. You come at me with anything, I'm right there, man. Whether it's good, bad, ugly fascism, you come the fuck. But I'm right there. I'm strong.

• 1:02:43Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:02:44Speaker 06

  I'm strong. Without a bag of cash.

• 1:02:48Speaker 03

  Because you know, you know where your real wealth comes from.

• 1:02:51Speaker 06

  I do, I do.

• 1:02:52Speaker 03

  And it is a, and it is a life lesson. It is a life lesson. I, I, I never felt like anybody owed me shit. For me, I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be doing exactly what I'm supposed to be doing.

• 1:03:04Bobby Lee?

  Hmm.

• 1:03:04Speaker 03

  And

• 1:03:05Bobby Lee?

  Amen.

• 1:03:05Speaker 03

  I, for me, it was like, well, what the fuck do I want to do with my life? Not what an, what a business or career is. I don't call myself having a career. I don't have a career. I have creative opportunities that I can say yes to or no to. Bottom line, which is why you don't see me on camera a lot. I fucking tatted my fucking self up because I don't give a fuck. I'm gonna do what I love to do and, and the doors open for me in terms of voiceover.

• 1:03:29Speaker 06

  I'm gonna start tadding myself up.

• 1:03:33Bobby Lee?

  I think some neck patches would be nice.

• 1:03:35Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:03:35Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, maybe teardrop. Yeah, oh wow, that's nice.

• 1:03:38Speaker 06

  Yeah, okay, calm down.

• 1:03:39Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:03:41Bobby Lee?

  How do you feel now, Aries?

• 1:03:44Speaker 05

  You know, I

• 1:03:51Speaker 05

  But I don't want to be that, I don't, I don't want to be that guy to shit on what y'all saying because I get where you're coming from. But that

• 1:03:58Bobby Lee?

  Wait, what? What did she say?

• 1:04:01Speaker 05

  About

• 1:04:02Bobby Lee?

  In a nutshell, tell me. I don't think you get it.

• 1:04:04Speaker 05

  No, I absolutely get it. I hear it.

• 1:04:06Bobby Lee?

  Well, then tell me what it is.

• 1:04:07Speaker 05

  About being satisfied within your own journey and this is what your journey is.

• 1:04:12Bobby Lee?

  Hallelujah.

• 1:04:13Speaker 05

  Right.

• 1:04:13Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:04:14Speaker 05

  But what I'm saying is

• 1:04:17Speaker 05

  that sounds good.

• 1:04:19Speaker 03

  No, it doesn't sound good. It is good. She's living that truth.

• 1:04:22Speaker 06

  What is missing? What do you want? Because I know you have money. I saw what you rolled up in. I'm driving, I'm driving a Fiat from 2011.

• 1:04:31Speaker 03

  And I'm driving a fucking base model Chevy motherfucking Spark. Roll your windows up, bitch. So what are you talking about? What the fuck are you talking about?

• 1:04:41Speaker 03

  Where you come from? Nigga, I live in a one-bedroom apartment.

• 1:04:44Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:04:44Speaker 03

  Don't tell me shit and I'm happier than a motherfucker with a mansion. Don't tell me shit about your life.

• 1:04:51Speaker 05

  I want to be the motherfucker with the mansion.

• 1:04:53Speaker 03

  Why? How many rules do you need?

• 1:04:55Speaker 05

  It's just always been my dream since a kid that I want to be that dude. I want to be as big as Kevin Hart.

• 1:05:03Speaker 03

  But you are that dude.

• 1:05:04Speaker 05

  In terms of talent and ability. But my pockets don't show that.

• 1:05:09Speaker 03

  But you know what? Your equation, I get it. But your equation, you'll never be satisfied. I'm just gonna tell you right now. I'm gonna be real.

• 1:05:17Speaker 05

  Hold on, hold on, hold on.

• 1:05:18Speaker 03

  No, no. What's your number? What's the number? Your equation will never be satisfied. Why? Because some other motherfucker will come along that'll take and blow the world up, and you'll want to be that. And then some other motherfucker will come around.

• 1:05:31Speaker 05

  No, but nah, nah, nah, nah.

• 1:05:32Speaker 03

  As talented as you, or possibly more, and then you're gonna get upset. Because again, you focus on everything that is not you.

• 1:05:40Speaker 05

  Hold up.

• 1:05:41Speaker 03

  And everything you want.

• 1:05:42Speaker 05

  Wait a minute.

• 1:05:42Speaker 03

  But not what's in your present space.

• 1:05:44Speaker 05

  No, listen, I hear you, but what I'm just saying is, when I go to comedy clubs, and listen, I'm not saying this is me saying this. I'm telling you what people have said to me. And they go, "Yo, man, you one of the GOATs. Yo, you a legend." And I go in my mind, no, no, no, stop. Eddie Murphy's a legend. Richard Pryor is a legend.

• 1:06:03Speaker 03

  Right.

• 1:06:04Speaker 05

  Dave Chappelle.

• 1:06:05Speaker 03

  No, and the reason I shut you off is because if they tell you that, shut the fuck up, listen to what they're saying, and accept it.

• 1:06:12Speaker 05

  Well, I do kinda.

• 1:06:13Speaker 03

  You know what I'm saying? But you always have, no, Aries, because you always have some shit after that to say, "No, no, no, that's not you." "Ay, but..."

• 1:06:21Speaker 05

  But what I'm saying is, but what I'm saying is, it's hard for me when I hear that and go, "Yo, you top five, you up there with Cat Williams, Dave Chappelle." And I'm just going, "Yeah, yeah." If my talent is that,

• 1:06:34Bobby Lee?

  Aries.

• 1:06:34Speaker 05

  Then why?

• 1:06:35Bobby Lee?

  Aries. Aries, I have a question for you. Yeah.

• 1:06:49Bobby Lee?

  If tomorrow, you got that mansion and that big bag of cash, you think a switch

• 1:06:54Speaker 05

  It's just gonna flip on for you and that you'll automatically be this is what I deserve. And I'm a happy man today. If tomorrow that happened for you.

• 1:07:36Speaker 05

  From that aspect of having it. Let's say you said, okay, you want your flowers, you're the goat. You've dreamt of this mansion your whole life. Yeah. If by midnight, you move into that mansion of your dreams and you get everything you've ever dreamt about, the money, the bag, the mansion, whatever it is, do you think that you could sit there and be like, okay, I got it. I am fulfilled. I am happy. I would be happy if I got that plus the things that really matter. What are the things that really matter? I'm not, I'm not a great father to my kids. Okay, we're getting somewhere.

• 1:08:11Speaker 06

  My heart just exploded.

• 1:08:13Speaker 05

  So, so I, I wanna tighten up my relationship with my son.

• 1:08:18Speaker 06

  Do that and maybe the mansion will fall.

• 1:08:24Speaker 05

  And, and, and, and as much as I love the woman who I wanna marry for the third time, I, I, I cheat. I fuck up the women. Yeah. So I have a problem. But you have holes in your body. Yeah. That not a mansion or a bag of cash will ever fill. Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. You know, if I'm gonna fuck up, let me fuck up with the mansion. But not saying I wanna fuck up. I'm just simply saying that that exterior shit. Yeah. That's what I've dreamt about. That's what I want. Now, if I got it tomorrow, that part I could check off the list and go, I got it. But, but I still would need that other shit to be in place too.

• 1:09:02Speaker 06

  Which one can you control?

• 1:09:04Speaker 05

  Why not both?

• 1:09:05Bobby Lee?

  You can't control both.

• 1:09:06Speaker 05

  Why not both?

• 1:09:07Speaker 03

  How you gonna answer that? Do you see, do you? Mo, ask it again.

• 1:09:10Speaker 05

  Well, I mean-

• 1:09:10Speaker 03

  Which one can you not control?

• 1:09:12Speaker 05

  The surface answer is-

• 1:09:14Speaker 06

  Or your relationship.

• 1:09:14Speaker 05

  The surface answer is the relationship.

• 1:09:17Speaker 03

  Alright then.

• 1:09:18Speaker 05

  But, but, but listen, my man-

• 1:09:19Bobby Lee?

  That's what's real.

• 1:09:20Speaker 05

  My manager used to say to me, you wanna-

• 1:09:22Bobby Lee?

  If you ever do this again, I swear to God.

• 1:09:23Speaker 05

  What?

• 1:09:23Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, you're doing some sorcery.

• 1:09:25Speaker 05

  No, no. His quote was-

• 1:09:28Bobby Lee?

  And I have it too, dude.

• 1:09:28Speaker 05

  His quote was always, was always, "You wanna be rich, you wanna be right." Cause very rarely in this business can you be both. And I don't subscribe to that. I think you can be rich and right. Is it a harder path? Dave Chappelle is rich and right. He does whatever he wants.

• 1:09:42Speaker 03

  But that's Dave Chappelle. But Dave Chappelle doesn't have the same circumstances. So when you tell me, "Hey, he's fucking other women, hey, he doesn't have a great relationship with his kids," then you, then come to me, then step to me.

• 1:09:54Speaker 05

  Hold on for a minute.

• 1:09:54Speaker 03

  But you are, no.

• 1:09:55Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 1:09:57Speaker 03

  You're telling me you have an opportunity, that you can create an opportunity to be wealthy first here, and then see it on the outside. You're trying to get both at the same time. You're never gonna be out, rich out there. You know why, motherfucker?

• 1:10:10Speaker 05

  Cause you ain't rich here.

• 1:10:11Speaker 03

  No, right, cause you're bankrupt. You're bankrupt, Aries. Aries, you're bankrupt.

• 1:10:16Speaker 05

  That's a great, that's a great-

• 1:10:17Speaker 03

  But my thing is this-

• 1:10:18Speaker 05

  That's a great chapter in a book.

• 1:10:20Speaker 03

  I, no, it's the real. Brother, I love you. You are bankrupt. And my thing is this, you don't have to be. I know you, you're a good man. If you wanna be a good father, continue being a good man. I know you, Aries, so don't fuck with me, cause right now I'm-

• 1:10:36Speaker 05

  I know.

• 1:10:37Speaker 03

  And I'm a little pissed off.

• 1:10:38Speaker 05

  No, no, no, no, no.

• 1:10:39Speaker 03

  I'm a little pissed off. You're a good man. You have-

• 1:10:42Speaker 05

  Sometimes too good.

• 1:10:44Speaker 03

  You can find out.

• 1:10:45Bobby Lee?

  He's okay.

• 1:10:46Speaker 03

  You can-

• 1:10:46Bobby Lee?

  He's an okay man.

• 1:10:47Speaker 03

  No, but it's not. This shit is real.

• 1:10:49Speaker 05

  No, but let me tell you something.

• 1:10:50Speaker 03

  Don't go for the outside shit. It won't make you happy, and thank you for bringing that up. You can be a good father right now.

• 1:10:57Speaker 05

  The things that-

• 1:10:58Speaker 03

  You can be a good man to your wife right now.

• 1:11:01Speaker 05

  The things, well, wait a minute now. I'm not, what I'm not gonna do is sit here and completely shit on her. All I'm simply saying is, this is a two-sided affair. So what I'm saying is this, yes, I've done my shit, but she ain't fucking innocent. And one might say, "Well, why, why even be in that toxic situation?" I don't know, but love is what it is. We, we, we, we got a chemistry and a thing that when we right, we, we right. But when we not, we not.

• 1:11:27Speaker 06

  But couldn't you argue that you just focus on keeping your side of the street clean?

• 1:11:32Bobby Lee?

  Like, there's nothing you can do to control a partner, even if you have been together for a really long time.

• 1:11:36Speaker 05

  Amen.

• 1:11:37Speaker 06

  And marriage, marriage is like, they can't be, you know what I'm saying? It's like, it's like the ocean and tides, they go out, they come back in. But, you know, you still stay focused on it, you know? It's not always gonna be that fire.

• 1:11:52Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:11:52Speaker 06

  You know, sometimes it's just all farts and...

• 1:11:56Speaker 03

  And sometimes you just gotta grow the fuck up.

• 1:11:58Speaker 05

  I hear you.

• 1:11:59Speaker 03

  You gotta be a man who continues to grow the fuck up.

• 1:12:01Speaker 05

  I hear you, but I've, I've...

• 1:12:02Speaker 03

  Because I know your potential.

• 1:12:03Speaker 05

  For the people that I love and that I care about, I'll give you my last fucking dime. And lord knows I have. And I mean, I've just, I've broken bread so many times. It felt like I've either been not appreciated for it, or taken advantage of it. So there's a part of me that, yeah, I'm angry. I'm fucking angry.

• 1:12:20Speaker 03

  You have a right, but you know what? That's why you take that anger and make sure it's, it's, it's not put in, in places where it doesn't belong. Because when life hands you shit, brother love, you are minerals. And when you put shit and minerals together, you can grow fertilizer and put, and grow more than you've ever thought you could grow.

• 1:12:37Speaker 05

  That's a bad shit.

• 1:12:39Speaker 03

  But my, but, but, but my thing is, my thing is this. Thank you, and thank you because those are the things you can't control. You can't control whether you get a mansion or not. So you could be chasing your tail. You never want to outrun the spaces you can take care of as a man in order to run to keep up with shit that you don't have that is a dream. Let it go for now, take care of the reality and trust that whatever is meant to come will come. Because who knows? The man you grow into, like Mo, you may decide, I don't even know if I want that anymore. Because I've found that my relationship with my son, my relationship with my children, you may not know that areas until you start moving in that direction.

• 1:13:16Speaker 05

  Mmm.

• 1:13:17Speaker 03

  You know what I'm saying? That's how you grow yourself, you better know yourself.

• 1:13:20Speaker 05

  I want to remind everybody this is a comedy podcast.

• 1:13:24Bobby Lee?

  I think this doesn't...

• 1:13:26Speaker 03

  This isn't quite the same. This isn't quite the same at all. But, you know, Bobby and I were together for a decade.

• 1:13:31Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:13:32Speaker 03

  And we were stuck in this small, tight, two-bedroom apartment that Mo, you were in. Yeah. And, um, his career wasn't going well. I was, fuck, what the fuck was I doing with my life?

• 1:13:41Bobby Lee?

  Dude, bro, so when the-

• 1:13:43Speaker 03

  When we thought-

• 1:13:44Bobby Lee?

  When Hangover, right, and I called my agent, I go, "Can I audition for that part, the Ken Jeong Park?" Hangover, they go, "We don't even wanna see him." You?

• 1:13:52Speaker 03

  Right.

• 1:13:52Bobby Lee?

  They wouldn't even let me audition.

• 1:13:53Speaker 03

  Not for Crazy Rich Asians?

• 1:13:55Bobby Lee?

  Not for Crazy Rich-

• 1:13:55Speaker 03

  Not for Hangover?

• 1:13:57Bobby Lee?

  The interview?

• 1:13:57Speaker 03

  Not the interview, when he could have played like Kim Jong?

• 1:13:59Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, they called and they go, "We don't wanna see him."

• 1:14:01Speaker 03

  Right, so he was-

• 1:14:02Bobby Lee?

  They wouldn't even let me in the room. So my point is, is that I feel what you're saying. Right? Cause I'm a, I'm a very funny guy. I'm, I'm as funny as those guys. I know their talent levels. I'm very good, you know what I mean? But I had, that's my reality, and I just kinda shifted into things that I can control.

• 1:14:18Speaker 03

  But what I found-

• 1:14:18Bobby Lee?

  Which is this podcast. Wait, go ahead.

• 1:14:20Speaker 03

  My mo-, the most interesting thing was that we were so sure, cause we were going through personal stuff, relationship stuff. And we were so sure that the moment that we moved in to a big house, in a nice neighborhood, with a yard for our dogs, that somehow magically, our relationship would be saved. And the moment we got exactly what we fantasized for years about, our relationship unraveled. And it's all of this to say, "You think you want it so bad, and that's gonna be your salvation." But the moment you get there, there are other things that were far more important that you weren't willing to address along the way. And that's what we failed to do as a couple.

• 1:15:03Speaker 03

  And I just, I mean, it's just one of the, a testament to, you think you want it till you get there. And I think that for now, um, you've had such an exceptional journey that is far from over. That there is so much work to be done, and if you just maybe focus on getting all of those things done, your kids most importantly, I think that you can have it all. You can be rich and right. And it's not over. And, um, yeah, that was my two cents. Thank you. It's more than two cents. That was a million dollars worth. Thank you, Deborah.

• 1:15:36Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. And I wanna, can I say, can I say one last thing? May I say one last thing? Yes! Okay. Is, is that television film, it doesn't do what you think it does anymore. It's dead. Well, I'm, it's not like I'm- What I'm saying, let me talk. It's my show.

• 1:15:52Bobby Lee?

  Alright. You're a little sad little creature, aren't you? Oh, my little broken little sad creature. Oh my god. I actually want to curdle you. I don't curdle, curdle.

• 1:16:03Speaker 05

  God!

• 1:16:04Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, whatever.

• 1:16:04Speaker 06

  Curdle this.

• 1:16:05Bobby Lee?

  I want to churn you, dude. Like a butter, like butter, dude, you know what I mean?

• 1:16:08Speaker 05

  No ditty.

• 1:16:11Bobby Lee?

  But my, my point is, is this, is it's dead. Like, I know dudes in my life that are serious regular on a couple of shows. No one knows their name. They don't make any money, right?

• 1:16:23Speaker 06

  They don't make any money?

• 1:16:24Bobby Lee?

  They make, I mean, they make, they don't make what, they make less than what we made on Mad, which was the lowest that you can make.

• 1:16:32Speaker 06

  What'd you make?

• 1:16:36Bobby Lee?

  In the beginning?

• 1:16:36Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:16:37Bobby Lee?

  Four thousand dollars an episode.

• 1:16:38Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:16:40Speaker 06

  What'd you end up at?

• 1:16:43Speaker 06

  I'm curious, I'm genuinely, I'm actually genuinely curious.

• 1:16:44Bobby Lee?

  Can I ask you a question first?

• 1:16:46Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:16:46Bobby Lee?

  What'd you end up at?

• 1:16:47Speaker 06

  Fifteen.

• 1:16:48Bobby Lee?

  Great.

• 1:16:49Speaker 06

  What'd you end up at?

• 1:16:50Bobby Lee?

  Twenty.

• 1:16:51Speaker 06

  Fuck my life.

• 1:16:54Bobby Lee?

  You ended up at twenty?

• 1:16:56Speaker 03

  I ended up at fifteen.

• 1:16:57Bobby Lee?

  You ended up at twenty?

• 1:16:59Speaker 03

  You're done.

• 1:16:59Speaker 06

  Oh, I know, yeah, uh, yeah, even though when I went beyond the contract, they're like, they're not going.

• 1:17:04Speaker 07

  Bobby, what are you doing? What are you doing, Bobby?

• 1:17:05Speaker 06

  You ended up at fifteen?

• 1:17:07Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. Me and Michael got twenty.

• 1:17:10Bobby Lee?

  See what I'm talking about?

• 1:17:11Speaker 07

  Michael.

• 1:17:12Bobby Lee?

  Does it burn? Goddamn right it does. My little broken creature?

• 1:17:20Bobby Lee?

  Are you sad? A little something?

• 1:17:22Speaker 03

  He's just numbers.

• 1:17:22Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, they're just numbers, they're. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know why.

• 1:17:27Speaker 03

  They're just numbers.

• 1:17:28Bobby Lee?

  I don't know why when, I don't know why they just, my agents just did it. I don't know, I didn't ask for it.

• 1:17:34Speaker 06

  Really?

• 1:17:34Speaker 05

  Well, I remember there was a point in time where they didn't even.

• 1:17:38Speaker 06

  You didn't even have to try?

• 1:17:42Speaker 07

  Bobby, stop, Bobby, Bobby, stop.

• 1:17:44Speaker 06

  What's it like, huh, not having to try? Oh, Bobby, do tell us, what's that like? To not have to try, where they just hand you things?

• 1:17:52Bobby Lee?

  It was years later when you left. It was my seventh and eighth year. You were long gone.

• 1:17:58Speaker 06

  No, I know.

• 1:17:58Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean? That's all. It's called.

• 1:18:00Speaker 06

  And I haven't seen that. Inflation.

• 1:18:03Bobby Lee?

  Inflation, inflation, thank you.

• 1:18:05Speaker 03

  And my thing is this.

• 1:18:06Speaker 06

  And shit has gone way down now.

• 1:18:07Speaker 03

  And you know what, good for you.

• 1:18:09Bobby Lee?

  Thank you so much, Deborah, give me a high five.

• 1:18:10Speaker 03

  Absolutely.

• 1:18:11Speaker 06

  I didn't say I was unhappy.

• 1:18:12Speaker 03

  No, no, no, not you, I'm just saying for me.

• 1:18:13Speaker 06

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:18:14Speaker 03

  I'm just going, good for you.

• 1:18:15Speaker 06

  Well, it should have, like, but it should, things should keep going up from there. Unfortunately, they've gone way down. I don't know about the rest of you, but, uh, yeah, like, it's so funny.

• 1:18:23Bobby Lee?

  It's gone down.

• 1:18:24Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:18:24Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, way down, way down.

• 1:18:26Speaker 06

  Way down.

• 1:18:26Bobby Lee?

  What I'm saying is, is that what you think, it's not, what, you get a lead in the movie?

• 1:18:31Speaker 05

  Well, it's not like I'm sitting back.

• 1:18:32Bobby Lee?

  Nothing's gonna happen.

• 1:18:33Speaker 05

  It's not like I'm sitting back waiting for something. I'm, I'm putting some shit together myself.

• 1:18:37Bobby Lee?

  I'm gonna tell you something right now, the last thing, cause it's my show, can I just say one last thing?

• 1:18:40Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 1:18:40Bobby Lee?

  So, one day I was watching, um, I was at the Laugh Factory and I ran into Marilyn Rice Cup.

• 1:18:45Speaker 06

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:18:46Bobby Lee?

  And she goes, can you, so I brought her to the Comedy Store and I introduced, you know, the talent coordinator, Marilyn. And I go, you're on TV shows, why do you wanna do stand-up? She goes, this is the future. I go, what do you mean? It's like, I wanna build my own franchise, you know what I mean? Because being, you know, I mean, going through these, um, what do you call it, roadblocks and these people, um, that make decisions for you, one day my time is gonna be up and I wanna have my own thing I can control, right? And she kinda opened my mind up to like, you know what, I think the path that I'm in is probably the right one.

• 1:19:22Speaker 06

  That's really, you know, it's like, with my management, I've said to them, you know, I'm not gonna take certain things just to go work, you know? I would rather, if I'm gonna, if, if I'm gonna die, if I'm gonna disappear in this business, which is sort of happening with Hollywood, and that's fine. But you know what remains is the Mo Collins that I built, right? I would rather just not work and let the things that I've done that I made a name for myself with live. You know, whether it's Mad TV stuff or Parks and Recreation, that, that Mo Collins will live forever. I'd rather just let that live and go away than go on and do some, you know,

• 1:20:03Speaker 06

  Just non-character thing, some guest star that's nothing, or a co-star or something where, sure, I'll get, you know, a thousand dollar check or something, two thousand, but I don't want to do that and disappear like that. Cause that, even though you show up in those little ways, they're like, ah, that's that, I'm gonna call it. I don't want that. I'd rather die and just let the things that I did that are my brand or whatever. I want those to be my legacy.

• 1:20:29Bobby Lee?

  You've had a great legacy.

• 1:20:30Speaker 06

  Yeah, I have.

• 1:20:31Bobby Lee?

  Right?

• 1:20:32Speaker 06

  I have.

• 1:20:32Bobby Lee?

  In Parks and Rec, The Walking Dead Show. Those are huge things.

• 1:20:37Speaker 03

  More than I've ever done. More than I've ever done, and I've been in this business thirty-five years.

• 1:20:41Speaker 06

  I'm completely happy, proud of what I have done, and it's because a lot of, the reason it's so great is because of the no's that I did put out there. No, I will not do that.

• 1:20:54Speaker 02

  Can I just say, I love your character on Parks and Joe.

• 1:20:57Speaker 06

  Oh, thanks.

• 1:20:58Bobby Lee?

  I what?

• 1:20:59Speaker 02

  Joe.

• 1:21:00Speaker 06

  Joan Callemez. Yeah.

• 1:21:02Bobby Lee?

  You said Parks and Jones.

• 1:21:04Speaker 02

  I love your character, Joan.

• 1:21:06Bobby Lee?

  This is my sidekick. He didn't say shit.

• 1:21:09Speaker 02

  Let me just say something, right? I'm a nobody, but.

• 1:21:11Bobby Lee?

  Hold on a second.

• 1:21:11Speaker 02

  Wait, wait, hold on.

• 1:21:12Bobby Lee?

  No, no.

• 1:21:12Speaker 06

  I wanna hear this, Bobby. I wanna fucking hear this.

• 1:21:15Speaker 02

  Uh, I'm a nobody, I'm a comedian, but, um, I just, I'm twenty-eight, but I love watching this, cause I grew up watching Mad TV. Big inspiration from everybody.

• 1:21:26Speaker 06

  Thank you.

• 1:21:27Speaker 02

  And you too, Bobby.

• 1:21:27Speaker 06

  My son is older than you. That's crazy.

• 1:21:30Speaker 03

  That's crazy that you were a brand-new mom.

• 1:21:33Speaker 06

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:21:33Speaker 03

  Trying to figure out a life in L.A.

• 1:21:37Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:21:38Speaker 03

  That's nuts to me.

• 1:21:39Speaker 06

  It was wild. I know, it was wild. He was two when I came out.

• 1:21:43Speaker 03

  That's insane.

• 1:21:44Speaker 06

  And, you know, those early, like, you know, and sometimes I remember, like, going to pick him up from, um, school or whatever, like, you know, in my Doreen curlers or whatever.

• 1:21:54Bobby Lee?

  Do you remember Big Hands?

• 1:21:55Speaker 06

  My ex-husband.

• 1:21:56Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, I call him Big Hands.

• 1:21:57Speaker 06

  I know you did, yeah.

• 1:21:58Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He had large hands. No, no, what, what, what, what?

• 1:22:02Speaker 00

  Why are you so excited about it?

• 1:22:03Speaker 06

  I know.

• 1:22:03Bobby Lee?

  Oh, just put your hand up, and it, it, this is my, this is my hand, like this, you know what I mean?

• 1:22:08Speaker 06

  You should see how big my husband's hands are now, the new one.

• 1:22:11Bobby Lee?

  Bigger?

  Jesus Christ.

  No, no, I was just checking something.

  Nah, not at all.

  Oh, 'cause I...

  And when we land.

• 1:22:47Speaker 05

  No, but I wanna do something with Deborah before we go. I wanna make sure I...

• 1:22:49Bobby Lee?

  We'll do that.

• 1:22:50Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 1:22:51Bobby Lee?

  When we fucking do it.

  Yes, sir.

• 1:22:53Bobby Lee?

  All right?

• 1:22:54Speaker 06

  That's a nice picture.

• 1:22:54Bobby Lee?

  That's a nice picture, yeah. Um, who's the girl above me?

• 1:22:59Speaker 05

  Oh, that was, uh...

• 1:23:00Speaker 06

  Jill Michelle?

• 1:23:00Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:23:01Bobby Lee?

  Jill Michelle.

  Yeah.

• 1:23:03Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:23:03Bobby Lee?

  Wow. And then, uh, where's... Is this your last year, Deborah?

• 1:23:10Speaker 03

  No.

• 1:23:11Speaker 06

  What season is this?

• 1:23:12Speaker 00

  Season eight, I believe.

• 1:23:13Speaker 03

  Oh, well, that was season eight, then. Season eight or season seven? I thought that was seven.

• 1:23:16Speaker 00

  Oh, this might be seven, actually.

• 1:23:17Speaker 03

  That was seven.

• 1:23:18Bobby Lee?

  It's eight. It has to be eight.

• 1:23:19Speaker 03

  No, I think that's seven. What does it say?

• 1:23:23Speaker 00

  It says season eight.

• 1:23:24Speaker 03

  It is?

• 1:23:25Bobby Lee?

  It's season eight, yeah, 'cause...

• 1:23:25Speaker 05

  Yeah, that was like my last year.

• 1:23:27Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, 'cause she came on her... My second year, that, um, Jill Michelle.

• 1:23:30Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 1:23:31Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, so that was your last year?

• 1:23:33Speaker 03

  That was my last year.

• 1:23:33Bobby Lee?

  Last year, Aries?

• 1:23:34Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:23:34Bobby Lee?

  No, it wasn't.

• 1:23:35Speaker 03

  No, it wasn't.

• 1:23:36Bobby Lee?

  No, it wasn't.

• 1:23:37Speaker 03

  You went on after me. No.

• 1:23:38Bobby Lee?

  No.

• 1:23:39Speaker 03

  You did not.

• 1:23:39Bobby Lee?

  Because you were... You bled in with the... With the Key and Peele era, the Ike era.

• 1:23:43Speaker 03

  Right.

• 1:23:44Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:23:44Speaker 03

  I did not. I was done.

• 1:23:46Bobby Lee?

  This is season seven. I wasn't in that fucking...

• 1:23:48Speaker 03

  You did the outro, remember? That, that day, when I... When you told everybody I was leaving.

• 1:23:52Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 1:23:53Speaker 03

  You did the outro.

• 1:23:54Bobby Lee?

  Can you pull up season nine real quick?

• 1:23:55Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:23:58Bobby Lee?

  Season nine... Is that season nine?

• 1:24:01Speaker 05

  Oh, yeah, you're right.

• 1:24:02Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, you're there.

• 1:24:02Speaker 05

  You're right, you're right.

• 1:24:03Bobby Lee?

  And then that's Ron Peterson, oh my God. Ike and Josh. Wow.

• 1:24:08Speaker 05

  Paul Voight.

• 1:24:09Speaker 03

  Paul Voight?

• 1:24:10Bobby Lee?

  Paul Voight, love him. That's you, Mo, right?

• 1:24:13Speaker 06

  Uh, yeah.

• 1:24:14Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. Yeah.

• 1:24:16Speaker 03

  Stephanie here.

• 1:24:17Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. You know, I'll be honest with you, um, you know who, you know, Mike didn't talk to me for years either, the first couple of years.

• 1:24:23Speaker 06

  Didn't talk to you?

• 1:24:24Bobby Lee?

  No, at all. I was so scared of him that I would just, if I'd see him down the hallway, you know, over at Hollywood Center Studio?

• 1:24:31Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:24:31Bobby Lee?

  I would turn the other way.

• 1:24:33Speaker 06

  Oh, my gosh.

• 1:24:33Bobby Lee?

  I was just so nervous around him.

• 1:24:35Speaker 05

  Me and Mike had a weird relationship, too.

• 1:24:37Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:24:37Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:24:38Speaker 06

  Yeah, you guys.

• 1:24:38Speaker 05

  I, I think I told you, he, uh, reached out to me. I think I reached out to him on Twitter and he was like, "Oh, I thought you died." And I was like, "Oh, I thought you had AIDS."

• 1:24:51Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:24:52Speaker 06

  Goes right back to.

• 1:24:53Bobby Lee?

  But what I realized is that's just who he is.

• 1:24:55Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:24:56Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So then I was like, "Oh, that's just who he is. Silly old Mike, you know what I mean?" I did Sling Up Together and he directed an episode. And, um, it was like, you know, since Matt, I was a series regular only on two shows. But when he came on direct, it was just, I don't know, I just felt so happy.

• 1:25:12Speaker 06

  Oh.

• 1:25:12Bobby Lee?

  He was just, we were giggling and, uh, yeah, yeah, I love him.

• 1:25:16Speaker 06

  Why hasn't he cast me in anything yet?

• 1:25:19Bobby Lee?

  Because he, I don't think, um, episodic directors have control in casting.

• 1:25:24Speaker 06

  Oh, okay.

• 1:25:26Bobby Lee?

  I mean, do they? I don't know.

• 1:25:27Speaker 03

  No.

• 1:25:27Speaker 06

  I don't know. I don't know anything.

• 1:25:29Bobby Lee?

  When's the last time you were on screen on anything?

• 1:25:31Speaker 03

  Um, television or film-wise, because I, if anything.

• 1:25:36Bobby Lee?

  Either, either.

• 1:25:37Speaker 03

  Um, I did, I worked on three independent projects in the last year to two years. But there, and my thing is this, I'm like Mo. I want to do it because it has heart, it has soul, and I know there's no money involved. But I want to have a creative space that I just say, "How can I be of service in this space?"

• 1:25:54Speaker 05

  I'll shoot you my script.

• 1:25:55Speaker 03

  And so I always, I'm always open. I don't care what it is. I'm always open to someone says, "Listen, I have this creative space and I want you a part of it." And I told my agent, I said, "I'll never be your moneymaker. I will never be your moneymaker. But if there's somebody who comes along and has a creative space that I feel like I can blend with, all I want to do is tell people stories."

• 1:26:14Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:26:15Speaker 03

  And so that's why voiceover for me has been massive. It's been massive. Money-wise, no, but is it massive in terms of? Uh, telling stories and being all these things and um, having a rep in it, yes.

• 1:26:28Speaker 05

  And I'm a gamer, so when I'm at home, there's been some games where I'm like, what do you play? Deborah.

• 1:26:32Speaker 06

  Oh, that's crazy.

• 1:26:34Bobby Lee?

  What do you play?

• 1:26:34Speaker 05

  You were on um, uh, what's the, the zombie game, uh, Days, Days?

  How does it feel? Okay?

• 1:29:40Speaker 03

  I could, I could go there too, Aries, don't worry, because I, I'm working in my head, but I'm like, you know, I couldn't pull it off as the same way you do.

• 1:29:46Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, you had another dog eating joke?

• 1:29:48Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:29:49Bobby Lee?

  Okay, let's see your version, let's see your version, please.

  Okay, Mo Collins, your turn next, what's your age?

• 1:29:58Speaker 03

  Oh, please, just while I say this, wait. Oh, Bobby.

• 1:30:00Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, you gotta do a dog eating joke.

• 1:30:02Speaker 03

  I, I'm not done, I got one more, I got one more.

• 1:30:04Bobby Lee?

  I gotta do it.

• 1:30:05Speaker 03

  I love dogs too, but like you, I can't eat a whole one by myself.

• 1:30:08Bobby Lee?

  Wow, wow, that's another go ahead, yeah, yeah.

• 1:30:13Speaker 06

  Are you serious? You're gonna ask the white lady?

• 1:30:17Bobby Lee?

  Oh yeah, you're right, you're right.

• 1:30:18Speaker 06

  That would come back on me so fast and hard.

• 1:30:20Bobby Lee?

  Oh yeah, you're right, you're right.

• 1:30:21Speaker 06

  That's not right.

• 1:30:23Bobby Lee?

  Mo wrote the one, the second one.

• 1:30:25Speaker 06

  No, I didn't. I had nothing to do with it. Don't get me in trouble, god damn it.

• 1:30:29Bobby Lee?

  Is that your master?

• 1:30:30Speaker 06

  That's Walter, yeah.

• 1:30:32Speaker 03

  His head is bigger than yours.

• 1:30:35Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:30:35Speaker 05

  I don't have dogs because I'm scared of them.

• 1:30:37Speaker 06

  Oh really? Come over and meet Walter. He's the most docile dog you could possibly imagine.

• 1:30:40Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, his head is bigger than yours. But Aries' head is bigger than his.

• 1:30:45Speaker 05

  Maybe.

• 1:30:45Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. You have a very big head, huh?

• 1:30:47Speaker 05

  Both.

• 1:30:48Bobby Lee?

  Are you wigging it?

• 1:30:50Speaker 03

  Which is why it always gets you in trouble.

• 1:30:51Bobby Lee?

  No, honestly, let's be honest. Is your dick big?

• 1:30:54Speaker 05

  Not at all. I'm girthy though.

• 1:30:56Speaker 06

  Oh god.

• 1:30:56Bobby Lee?

  Like a spam tank.

• 1:30:58Speaker 06

  There's just things you don't want to know.

• 1:31:01Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:31:02Speaker 05

  Like the kind of Pringles can. Not the whole one, but the...

• 1:31:06Bobby Lee?

  Oh, the little one? The little Pringle, yeah.

• 1:31:07Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:31:08Bobby Lee?

  That seems like it hurts. Okay.

• 1:31:10Speaker 00

  Has everyone here seen your friend?

• 1:31:13Bobby Lee?

  Who?

• 1:31:14Speaker 00

  Down below?

• 1:31:14Bobby Lee?

  Toki the Dum Dum.

• 1:31:15Speaker 00

  I know you've seen it in Vegas.

• 1:31:16Bobby Lee?

  No, let me ask you something. Oh my, one time?

• 1:31:19Speaker 06

  Oh god.

• 1:31:20Bobby Lee?

  Oh my god, in Vegas? Holy shit, that was insane.

• 1:31:23Speaker 06

  That trip.

• 1:31:24Bobby Lee?

  Ike had to drag me by my hair through two casinos because I had my penis out.

• 1:31:29Speaker 05

  Are you serious?

• 1:31:30Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:31:31Speaker 06

  So many moments.

• 1:31:31Bobby Lee?

  Get the fuck in this hotel room, yeah, yeah. I was just being dragged like this, it was crazy.

• 1:31:34Speaker 06

  You relapsed? Yeah.

• 1:31:35Bobby Lee?

  When I relapsed, yeah, yeah.

• 1:31:36Speaker 06

  Yeah, I mean, that trip started with you sitting next to me on the airplane and you pulled out a baggie of all kinds of pretty pills.

• 1:31:44Bobby Lee?

  Do you remember that?

• 1:31:45Speaker 06

  And you let... I'm like, Bobby?

• 1:31:47Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:31:48Speaker 06

  Hide that... No, put that away. Like, I got terrified.

• 1:31:51Bobby Lee?

  I got in trouble because the... Remember the Strokes played? So, the Strokes, the band?

• 1:31:57Speaker 06

  Mm-hmm, yeah.

• 1:31:57Bobby Lee?

  And so, I heard a week later that Drew Barrymore was dating the drummer and she was mad at me because he almost overdosed because of the drugs I had in my pocket.

• 1:32:07Speaker 03

  Because she came to the set and she was not happy.

• 1:32:11Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:32:12Speaker 03

  She came to watch the band.

• 1:32:13Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. I had a big bowl of drugs in my dressing room. It was bad. But anyway, let's talk about the good times.

• 1:32:24Bobby Lee?

  Do a funny giggle like that, please.

• 1:32:27Speaker 05

  Do what?

• 1:32:28Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, what we just did, we all did improv. You was funny.

• 1:32:32Speaker 03

  Aries.

• 1:32:33Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, Aries, stop, everyone quiet.

• 1:32:34Speaker 03

  Aries, do us a gig like Aries.

• 1:32:37Bobby Lee?

  Aries, please.

• 1:32:37Speaker 05

  I'm, I'm too quiet.

• 1:32:39Bobby Lee?

  No, no, no. You got, Aries, you gotta do it, dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:32:44Speaker 05

  That's as good as it's gonna get.

• 1:32:46Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:32:46Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:32:47Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:32:49Speaker 05

  Here's what I, I wanna do something with Deborah real quick.

• 1:32:51Bobby Lee?

  Okay.

• 1:32:52Speaker 05

  Cause I was so envious of this.

• 1:32:53Bobby Lee?

  Okay.

• 1:32:54Speaker 05

  Uh, remember when they did the, uh, Sopranos sketch, or Mad? And you did that kick-ass Dr. Melfi?

• 1:32:59Speaker 03

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:33:00Speaker 05

  And then Will did Tony?

• 1:33:01Speaker 03

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:33:02Speaker 05

  I'm, I was such a Sopranos fan.

• 1:33:04Speaker 03

  I know.

• 1:33:05Speaker 05

  That I never could do a Tony Soprano. So now, I think I've mastered it.

• 1:33:08Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 1:33:09Speaker 05

  So I want you to be Dr. Melfi.

• 1:33:12Bobby Lee?

  Okay.

• 1:33:15Speaker 03

  So Tony, when you walk in here, what are you bringing with you inside of you?

• 1:33:22Speaker 05

  Oh, Jesus fucking Christ. You gotta be fucking serious. I did it to problems with my kids, my daughter and AJ. And Carl. And now you're gonna give it to me? I gave it to my fucking sister Jenny, she not gonna do it in Jenny's shack. I'm telling you what the fuck it is. Jesus fucking Christ.

• 1:33:36Speaker 03

  But why do you have so much anger in you right now?

• 1:33:39Speaker 05

  It's got nothing to do with anger. It's all the pent-up emotion from all the shit that I went through with my mother. My father was a, she fucking drove him crazy. Sanics, pills, almost fucking suicide.

• 1:33:49Speaker 03

  I'm Connie Tong.

• 1:33:54Bobby Lee?

  Wow, Bobby, so good.

• 1:33:55Speaker 03

  That was brilliant.

• 1:33:56Bobby Lee?

  Pretty good.

• 1:33:56Speaker 03

  That was brilliant.

• 1:33:57Bobby Lee?

  Pretty good.

• 1:33:58Speaker 03

  That was, no, that was more than pretty good, that was pretty spot on.

• 1:34:01Bobby Lee?

  Spot on, dude.

• 1:34:01Speaker 03

  That was real spot on.

• 1:34:02Bobby Lee?

  What, uh, what other im- impressions did we not know about that you've been working on?

• 1:34:05Speaker 03

  Oh, but his Denzel is-

• 1:34:06Speaker 05

  No! Stop, stop, stop, I stopped doing that.

• 1:34:10Speaker 03

  Okay, but his Denzel-

• 1:34:11Speaker 05

  No, cause of a brother named C. King. He shut it down.

• 1:34:15Speaker 03

  Really?

• 1:34:15Speaker 05

  His Denzel, his Denzel-

• 1:34:17Bobby Lee?

  I don't know C. King.

• 1:34:18Speaker 05

  Uh, Madden.

• 1:34:20Speaker 03

  Okay.

  Okay.

• 1:34:22Bobby Lee?

  Okay.

• 1:34:23Speaker 05

  Yeah, I didn't, I didn't.

• 1:34:23Speaker 02

  I like your shack impression.

• 1:34:25Speaker 05

  So it's not dominated twenty-four and ten. It's a twenty-four and ten, that's barbecue chicken. You got dominated in that big man house, I don't know, man.

• 1:34:34Bobby Lee?

  That's great. Mo, do you have any impressions? Yeah, I know it's never one. I just don't know how to do it.

• 1:34:39Speaker 06

  I did a shit ton on Mad TV.

• 1:34:41Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:34:41Speaker 06

  You know, I mean, it's not like I went, I left the show and went, I'm gonna continue coming up with impressions. You know, I, but I did them.

• 1:34:49Speaker 03

  I do a, a, a black lady, cause I got it from Aries.

• 1:34:51Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:34:51Speaker 03

  I do a, a, a black lady, Al Pacino.

• 1:34:54Bobby Lee?

  Oh, we'd love to hear it.

• 1:34:55Speaker 05

  Black lady Al Pacino?

• 1:34:56Speaker 03

  Yeah. So.

• 1:35:00Speaker 03

  Aries, I used to watch you doing fast, quick, smart. Yeah, loved what you did. So I. Took it to the next level.

• 1:35:09Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 1:35:09Speaker 03

  Shaved my head, got tattooed. Yeah, you started, but I finished it.

• 1:35:14Bobby Lee?

  Do De Niro.

• 1:35:14Speaker 03

  Hooah!

  Yeah.

• 1:35:21Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. Well, is that, is there, is there anything else you guys wanna say or?

• 1:35:27Speaker 02

  Can I ask one last question?

• 1:35:28Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, go ahead.

• 1:35:29Speaker 02

  Like, um, do you guys think like, we can bring back Mad TV?

• 1:35:34Bobby Lee?

  Like. They tried.

• 1:35:35Speaker 02

  In modern.

• 1:35:35Bobby Lee?

  Wait, wait.

• 1:35:36Speaker 02

  Well, not that.

• 1:35:36Bobby Lee?

  They tried.

• 1:35:37Speaker 02

  Now.

• 1:35:37Bobby Lee?

  Wait, did you do that, or no?

• 1:35:39Speaker 05

  Yeah, I did.

• 1:35:39Speaker 06

  I did, yeah.

• 1:35:40Bobby Lee?

  I did too. Did you, did you do it?

• 1:35:42Speaker 06

  You can't do.

• 1:35:42Bobby Lee?

  It was horrendous.

• 1:35:43Speaker 06

  Prime time CW. It doesn't work. Like, just that, that.

• 1:35:46Speaker 05

  That and the time slot was nine o'clock?

• 1:35:48Speaker 06

  That's what I'm saying, prime time.

• 1:35:49Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:35:50Speaker 06

  And CW, you cannot, it was a late night Fox show.

• 1:35:53Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:35:54Speaker 06

  When it was, Fox was.

• 1:35:55Speaker 05

  In the 90s.

• 1:35:56Speaker 06

  Yeah, like, you cannot do it. You can't, you can't do it anymore.

• 1:36:01Bobby Lee?

  You don't think so?

• 1:36:01Speaker 03

  And not if they tried, I would have no part of it.

• 1:36:04Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:36:04Speaker 03

  If they tried, I would have absolutely no part of it.

• 1:36:06Speaker 05

  Is that only because they wouldn't give us the freedom that we had then?

• 1:36:10Speaker 03

  No, but I'm a different person.

• 1:36:12Speaker 05

  Really?

• 1:36:12Speaker 03

  Yeah. Yeah, those days are done. Those days are done for me.

• 1:36:16Bobby Lee?

  Okay. Yeah. What did you play, what did you play on the new one, the new Mad?

• 1:36:21Speaker 05

  Oh shit, I think it's Cosby. We did Cosby, remember?

• 1:36:24Bobby Lee?

  Oh, so you did it too?

• 1:36:25Speaker 03

  Mm-hmm. As guest stars, yeah.

• 1:36:27Bobby Lee?

  As guest stars, yeah.

• 1:36:28Speaker 03

  Only as guest stars.

  Do you remember what you did?

• 1:36:29Speaker 06

  Yeah, I, they had me do Lorraine.

• 1:36:31Bobby Lee?

  Oh, cool, that, yeah, yeah.

• 1:36:32Speaker 06

  And whatever other sketches, I don't even remember.

• 1:36:34Bobby Lee?

  You know what they may have me do?

• 1:36:35Speaker 06

  What'd they have you do?

• 1:36:36Bobby Lee?

  They did a sketch where, um, a new cast member's going into the dressing room, right? And just, and Ike's giving him a tour, and then I pop out of a wall like I had never left Mad. And I was like a crazy man.

• 1:36:48Speaker 06

  But that was true, right?

• 1:36:51Speaker 03

  Hot dog!

• 1:36:54Bobby Lee?

  Uh-oh, hot dog.

• 1:36:57Bobby Lee?

  Oh, this is it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

  Oh, that's crazy.

  Yeah, that looks like Mad.

• 1:37:08Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, that was mad.

• 1:37:09Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:37:09Bobby Lee?

  That was actually fun to do with Ike. Yeah.

• 1:37:11Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:37:11Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:37:12Speaker 06

  It'd be fun to do some, like, I miss doing sketch.

• 1:37:15Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:37:15Speaker 06

  I really do. I miss, I miss, I miss, I miss it all. I miss working. Um, but I do miss. I'm not gonna cry. I told myself I wasn't gonna cry. But I do, I miss, I miss comedy so much. You know, like, I, I would love to.

• 1:37:31Bobby Lee?

  Mo, I really strongly suggest you do stand-up again.

• 1:37:35Speaker 06

  I probably should.

• 1:37:36Bobby Lee?

  And really dedicate yourself to it.

• 1:37:38Speaker 06

  Oh, wow.

• 1:37:39Bobby Lee?

  Because I'm, I'm being real. If you, if you got 30 minutes, right? 25 to 30 minutes.

• 1:37:45Speaker 06

  Well, I mean, I still do go out and do like.

• 1:37:46Bobby Lee?

  You were open for me, and I do pretty big rooms. I pay you well. You know what I mean? I mean, you know what I mean?

• 1:37:51Speaker 06

  I still go out and do 20.

• 1:37:53Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, but Arias and I would help you, right? Like, imagining Mo as a feature.

• 1:37:57Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:37:58Speaker 06

  Okay, that's, this is.

• 1:37:59Bobby Lee?

  That was a, that, yeah, that was a, that was, that was a no, dude.

• 1:38:02Speaker 06

  That was totally.

• 1:38:03Bobby Lee?

  So delayed.

• 1:38:04Speaker 05

  You're not a good actor, dude.

• 1:38:06Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're like, yeah!

• 1:38:10Speaker 05

  Absolutely.

• 1:38:11Bobby Lee?

  That didn't help.

• 1:38:12Speaker 03

  You can hear him say absolutely.

• 1:38:13Bobby Lee?

  Absolutely.

• 1:38:14Speaker 03

  Liar.

• 1:38:17Speaker 06

  No, I, I love doing stand-up. I really do. I love it. But, you know, it's also, it's a little different as a pretty much 60-year-old woman.

• 1:38:25Bobby Lee?

  I don't know, man.

• 1:38:26Speaker 06

  I do, I do because I am that.

• 1:38:28Bobby Lee?

  I know, but I.

• 1:38:29Speaker 03

  No, but I'm gonna disagree to a certain extent because, Mo, you're you.

• 1:38:34Speaker 06

  No, and I, I agree. And I, you know, people do, like, you know, when I was headlining and stuff, I would interject, you know, Doreen or Lorraine, because I'm there to give them what they want. It wasn't, I would just throw it out here and there, and that satisfied them, and it was great. And I know why people go to those shows, and why they would be there, was to see Mo Collins from Mad TV.

• 1:38:53Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:38:53Speaker 06

  I know that.

• 1:38:54Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:38:54Speaker 06

  You know, and the rest is all dry pussy shit.

• 1:38:56Speaker 03

  Yay. But you know, because you know what I'm saying?

• 1:38:59Speaker 06

  Vaginismus, all the good stuff.

• 1:39:01Speaker 03

  Wherever you are in your life is still highly valued. Because you don't, but see, that's right, because you're not looking at the outside. I have to look at it from the outside because you have to remember something. I'm not just, shut up, I'm not just your friend, I'm your fan. So I'm telling you, as an older woman looking at you, even if I was younger, I want to be able to glean some information, laugh at what you have to say, and hear where you are now, instead of you feeling like you have to be performative in a different way.

• 1:39:32Speaker 06

  And I love that about, like, I mean, my stand-up is very truthful, honest, it's where I'm at, you know? And I do love that. But I just don't, I don't see, I don't see.

• 1:39:44Bobby Lee?

  Okay.

• 1:39:44Speaker 03

  That's okay that you don't see it, because I see it, I see it as gold, fucking gold.

• 1:39:48Bobby Lee?

  It's insane.

• 1:39:49Speaker 03

  It's insane.

• 1:39:50Speaker 06

  Here's what I do want to do, and I'm gonna put this on the, I'm gonna say this in the mic right now, put it out there. Here's a show I've done a couple times for myself, it's called Mo Collins Is Wiggin' Out. Now, it's taking everything that I am, that I'm really good at.

• 1:40:01Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:40:01Speaker 06

  It's me, it's my stand-up aspect.

• 1:40:04Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:40:04Speaker 06

  I go out, I dump fifty fucking wigs on the stage.

• 1:40:07Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:40:08Speaker 06

  And I have people, a person will come up and pick a wig.

• 1:40:11Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:40:11Speaker 06

  And there's a mirror on stage, and I'll get suggestions from the audience.

• 1:40:15Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:40:15Speaker 06

  And I create a character in front of them and do a monologue or whatever.

• 1:40:18Bobby Lee?

  That's so fun.

• 1:40:19Speaker 06

  And they, and then I tease and have fun with the audience, because I'm really good at that.

• 1:40:23Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:40:23Speaker 06

  You know, and that's, that, I should be touring that.

• 1:40:26Bobby Lee?

  Yes.

• 1:40:27Speaker 06

  That's what I, and that's a theater show rather than like a stand-up. And that's what I would love to do.

• 1:40:31Bobby Lee?

  Okay, then do it.

• 1:40:33Speaker 03

  And you know how you start that? In your stand-up act, that's the last thing you do. You have, do your stand-up, do ten minutes of stand-up, and then do that one thing. That's how the ball gets rolling. Because now, audience have seen that, and they know they're not gonna see the same fucking thing twice. Mo, you are fucking gold.

• 1:40:52Speaker 06

  I'm also tired.

• 1:40:53Speaker 03

  That's a fact. You're gonna find your energy, because what's gonna happen is it's gonna start to steamroll. I think that's genius, and I think doing, starting it with stand-up first, and then doing that as the last thing before you get offstage? Let people roar and laugh. Mo, again, I'm not telling you this as, as someone in the industry, I'm telling you this as a fucking fan.

• 1:41:11Speaker 06

  I appreciate that.

• 1:41:13Bobby Lee?

  I'm a, I'm your hugest fan.

• 1:41:14Speaker 06

  That's really.

• 1:41:14Bobby Lee?

  You're so fucking talented.

• 1:41:16Speaker 06

  Thank you, I appreciate that, I really do.

• 1:41:17Speaker 05

  One of my favorite jokes by you is when you tell that joke where you go, uh, your dad says, uh, "If you gay, everybody die." First time I heard that, I was in fucking tears.

• 1:41:28Bobby Lee?

  Thank you so much.

• 1:41:29Speaker 05

  The way you say that with that delivery, oh my god.

• 1:41:31Bobby Lee?

  Thank you so much.

• 1:41:32Speaker 05

  Everybody dies.

• 1:41:33Bobby Lee?

  I'm doing my first special on Hulu, and I should film it in January.

• 1:41:37Speaker 06

  Oh, you filmed it in January?

• 1:41:39Bobby Lee?

  No, I'm gonna this January.

• 1:41:40Speaker 06

  Oh, wow, cool.

• 1:41:40Bobby Lee?

  I'm very excited. I've never done a special before, so I'm very excited.

• 1:41:43Speaker 06

  Have you really not?

• 1:41:44Bobby Lee?

  Never done one, no.

• 1:41:45Speaker 06

  All the years.

• 1:41:45Bobby Lee?

  All the years.

• 1:41:46Speaker 06

  Seriously?

• 1:41:48Bobby Lee?

  All the many years that I lived, yeah.

• 1:41:50Speaker 06

  No, but been doing stand-up, I mean, I'm actually surprised, because it feel like everybody, I mean...

• 1:41:54Bobby Lee?

  Well, here's, I mean, back to what areas it feels, it's like...

• 1:41:57Speaker 06

  Everybody but you.

• 1:41:59Bobby Lee?

  I know, what I'm saying is it's like...

• 1:42:00Speaker 06

  Alex Borstein did a special.

• 1:42:01Bobby Lee?

  There's, you know, people like, like, I'm doing it for Hulu, but imagine the other companies. They didn't want anything to do with it.

• 1:42:08Speaker 06

  Really?

• 1:42:09Bobby Lee?

  We would call, there was nothing, so it's like, I went with...

• 1:42:11Speaker 06

  You're kidding?

• 1:42:12Bobby Lee?

  Where the love is. I, I only, I'm a nice guy, all right, I really am, I'm very generous.

• 1:42:17Speaker 06

  We're not debating that, we will after the show.

• 1:42:20Bobby Lee?

  I feel like I'm a nice guy in this and that, right, and I'm like, you know, I'm willing to do work with anybody, but it's like, you know, I go where the love is, because I don't, I'm so sensitive, you know what I mean?

• 1:42:31Speaker 06

  And so Hulu's been loving to you?

• 1:42:33Bobby Lee?

  They were just out of the gate, like, what do we need to do to make this happen? So I was like, I'll go here, because it's, you know. Yeah, I'm not gonna like showcase a thousand times and do any of that. What are you looking at, dog?

• 1:42:44Speaker 05

  You.

• 1:42:45Bobby Lee?

  Okay.

• 1:42:46Speaker 05

  I was looking, I was looking in your eyes while you say that.

• 1:42:50Bobby Lee?

  All right, so, I wanna say this last thing, okay?

• 1:42:54Bobby Lee?

  You know, um, in my life, you know, I don't know when I'm gonna die, but I think that...

• 1:42:59Speaker 05

  None of us do.

• 1:43:00Bobby Lee?

  I know, I understand that.

• 1:43:01Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:43:01Bobby Lee?

  But if there was like six chapters in my life, I think Mad TV would be one whole chapter. It, I look back at it as, I learned so much on that show, I, I relapsed on that show, but then I got sober on that show.

• 1:43:14Speaker 06

  Wow.

• 1:43:14Bobby Lee?

  You mean, I got to work with all the generations, because I was in the middle.

• 1:43:19Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:43:19Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean, so I got you guys, and then I got the new kids, like Josh, and Ike, and Jordan, and all those guys, Nicole Parker, Keegan, you know what I mean, and so, I look at back at that as a really fond memory, and I, and I'll tell you another thing, is that I wish I appreciated it. Like at live shows, like, you know, you're getting set up, it's dark. I remember me and Ike did a sketch where it bombed so badly, and so, you know what I mean? And after the sketch was done, him and I collapsed on the ground, and we started laughing, because we bombed so bad. But all those little, like, experiences, like, I cherish in my heart.

• 1:43:54Speaker 06

  So much.

• 1:43:55Bobby Lee?

  And it's, nothing's ever, like, matched it in my life, you know what I mean, in my career. I mean, this is a different experience, and I love, I love it here too, and Tiger Belly, and Bad Friends, all the things I do are also, you know what I mean, chapters in my life, probably, but I look back at it, and so when I see you guys, I don't see you guys as, um, even stand-ups like I grew up with, in a completely different thing, like, we went to war together.

• 1:44:18Speaker 06

  It really holds something, like, it is very different, after all the other shows I've done and stuff, Mad TV does hold this very extraordinary space. Totally in agreement.

• 1:44:30Speaker 03

  Because there's also a personal dynamic, not just a work dynamic and a career dynamic, I mean, there was a personal dynamic, everyone was going through some shit, um, and, and, and you are exposed to a certain extent, and raw to a certain extent. And I think that's what's powerful, because the things you remember are not just about the show, but how you grew.

• 1:44:49Speaker 06

  It was family.

• 1:44:50Bobby Lee?

  Yes.

• 1:44:51Speaker 03

  And still is.

• 1:44:52Bobby Lee?

  I feel that.

• 1:44:52Speaker 06

  Yeah, it still is, that's, that's, that's what is sort of proof of it.

• 1:44:56Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:44:56Speaker 06

  Like, we're sitting here today, and I know that you're my family. You know, whether I see you much or not, you got to call me, Aries.

• 1:45:06Speaker 06

  You know.

• 1:45:06Speaker 03

  Good luck getting that.

• 1:45:08Speaker 06

  It's never gonna happen. But it's, it goes right back to, you know, who we were, even though we've grown so much since then, whatever, but there's a place that we return to, I could feel it driving over here, you know, it's like I could feel whatever DNA I still have in me that is that person that would go to work at Mad TV every day. And it's cool, it's a good feeling, it's comfortable.

• 1:45:29Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:45:30Speaker 03

  Especially knowing these were the three that showed up, I was over the moon thrilled, over the moon thrilled.

• 1:45:35Bobby Lee?

  Aries, any last?

• 1:45:38Bobby Lee?

  Uh, you know, man, I, I, uh...

• 1:45:41Speaker 06

  You didn't like it?

• 1:45:43Bobby Lee?

  No.

• 1:45:45Speaker 03

  I love SNL.

• 1:45:48Speaker 05

  I wouldn't, I wouldn't have been here if it wasn't, you know, something that, you know, was in my heart. You know what I mean?

• 1:45:53Bobby Lee?

  No, I don't know me, me specifically.

• 1:45:55Speaker 05

  I'm saying, I'm saying, I hadn't seen Deborah since the last time I saw. You know, I always, I always feel good when I post something on Instagram and Mo comments, because I don't see Mo. So it's like, oh shit, she ain't, you know, she ain't forgotten about me. You know what I mean? So, you know.

• 1:46:11Speaker 06

  You're a little hard to.

• 1:46:12Speaker 05

  And again, I know that was, it was kind of tough getting you and me on the right page, but now that that's happened, you know, I wouldn't have missed this for the world. I, like I said, I was a little disappointed that Will didn't show up.

• 1:46:23Bobby Lee?

  He's done this so many times.

• 1:46:24Speaker 05

  I know, but, but, but, but Will, Will is like, you know, like I said, he was one of the guys comedically I just danced with. You know what I mean?

• 1:46:33Bobby Lee?

  He really is a glue.

• 1:46:36Bobby Lee?

  Don't you think?

• 1:46:37Speaker 06

  I totally agree.

• 1:46:38Bobby Lee?

  Because.

• 1:46:38Speaker 06

  He's the unexpected glue.

• 1:46:40Speaker 03

  And a good guy.

• 1:46:41Bobby Lee?

  A good guy.

• 1:46:42Speaker 06

  Probably fans don't necessarily think that as far as the family aspect goes.

• 1:46:47Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:46:47Speaker 06

  Will was a glue. I don't know that there was anybody that in the cast, no matter when, that did not.

• 1:46:54Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, unlike you, Ari.

• 1:46:55Speaker 06

  Get along with Will.

• 1:46:57Bobby Lee?

  Unlike you, Ari, when I first got on the show, even though I was nervous and even though I bombed at table reads and all that stuff, he would invite me to his house. He would go out. We'd go to the farmer's market. We'd go to parties together. Yeah, so, you know, unlike you, he is diff- you're a glue in a sense that like, you know, it's not that sticky. Yeah, the glue's not a sticky butt, you know, but I think we're sticking now.

• 1:47:18Speaker 05

  Yeah, listen.

• 1:47:21Speaker 05

  I'm where I am now.

• 1:47:22Bobby Lee?

  I love you, bud.

• 1:47:23Speaker 05

  I'm where I am now, out of maturity, because for a long time, I was on my, I was on my attitude shit. Like I was on my, I'm Ari Spears, I'm the shit.

• 1:47:33Bobby Lee?

  You've softened. I think you softened.

• 1:47:36Speaker 05

  I've been softened.

• 1:47:38Bobby Lee?

  No, you've softened. Not been, you are softened. You're a softer guy. And I think that honestly, I think if you got-

• 1:47:45Speaker 06

  Be okay with that, that's not a bad thing.

• 1:47:47Speaker 05

  Nah, I, you know.

• 1:47:49Bobby Lee?

  You're more, you're reachable. And I want to say this, and I think that if you got everything that you ever wanted, you wouldn't be soft. I think that you'd be alone.

• 1:47:57Speaker 05

  I'm like Mike Tyson now. But there was a point in time where I was trying to bite ears and-

• 1:48:01Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, Mike's very nice.

• 1:48:03Speaker 05

  I had that ferociousness in me out of-

• 1:48:06Bobby Lee?

  I mean, he was heavyweight champion, but okay, compare yourself to-

• 1:48:10Bobby Lee?

  He's one of the greatest actors in the world. I'm like Mike Tyson, I'm like Jackie Chan. I can see it too.

• 1:48:19Speaker 05

  But yeah, man, I hear what you're saying, you know.

• 1:48:23Bobby Lee?

  I don't think you do, but-

• 1:48:24Speaker 05

  I really do.

• 1:48:25Bobby Lee?

  All right, all right, yeah. Um, any last words? Because let me say something. This gets way better than I ever would even dream of doing.

• 1:48:32Speaker 00

  He was very nervous before this.

• 1:48:34Bobby Lee?

  I was so nervous.

• 1:48:34Speaker 05

  Were you really?

• 1:48:35Bobby Lee?

  Oh, yeah, because I was like, I mean, we've wanted, how long have we done?

• 1:48:39Speaker 00

  What?

• 1:48:40Bobby Lee?

  How long have we done?

• 1:48:41Speaker 00

  Oh, uh, almost like, yeah, almost two hours, three hours?

• 1:48:44Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, we do one hour. And I have to count, like, sometimes when I'm doing an hour,

• 1:48:49Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:48:50Bobby Lee?

  I'll be like, we must be done by now, and I'll look down and it's like-

• 1:48:52Speaker 05

  I told you when the music's right, dance, motherfucker. We was dancing.

• 1:48:57Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, it's okay.

• 1:48:58Speaker 05

  I'm saying, there's no, there's no, yo, we gotta go in a sequential order. No, the music is playing, dance, man.

• 1:49:07Bobby Lee?

  All right, homie?

• 1:49:08Speaker 05

  I got you, baby.

• 1:49:09Bobby Lee?

  I got you, baby, too. And, um, so I want, I'll say the last word, if you may, if I may.

• 1:49:15Speaker 05

  Sure, sure.

• 1:49:15Bobby Lee?

  I love you guys so much, and I really appreciate you showing up for me.

• 1:49:19Speaker 06

  I love you, Bobby.

• 1:49:19Bobby Lee?

  This is a big deal, this is my 500th episode of this podcast.

• 1:49:23Speaker 06

  Love you, Bobby.

• 1:49:24Bobby Lee?

  And I couldn't dream of anyone better than you guys, you know what I mean?

• 1:49:27Speaker 06

  You're looking mostly at Aries.

• 1:49:30Bobby Lee?

  I mean, I had George Lopez yesterday, you know what I mean? But you guys are just as good.

• 1:49:36Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, just as good, no, honestly. Thank you so much, and I love you.

• 1:49:39Speaker 06

  I love you.

• 1:49:40Speaker 00

  Magic Valley 500!

• 1:49:42Bobby Lee?

  Let's go another five.

• 1:49:44Speaker 00

  Let's go another five.

• 1:50:06Bobby Lee?

  You know Jaime?

• 1:50:08Speaker 06

  Are you crazy? I don't think I've ever seen your hair.

• 1:50:12Speaker 02

  On my head or my head?

• 1:50:13Speaker 00

  Talk it to the mic.

• 1:50:14Speaker 06

  Your head ever, like.

• 1:50:15Speaker 00

  On my head or your what? What else would the hair be on?

• 1:50:19Speaker 06

  Well, you have a bigger head than Gilbert.

• 1:50:22Speaker 02

  Mike.

• 1:50:22Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, it's like a bowling ball.

• 1:50:25Speaker 06

  But it's like.

• 1:50:25Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. It's a perfect circle almost.

• 1:50:28Speaker 06

  But it's not flat in the back. It looks nice.

• 1:50:30Bobby Lee?

  Can I see your back?

• 1:50:31Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:50:33Speaker 06

  It's a little.

• 1:50:34Bobby Lee?

  Be honest with me. It's a Frankenhead at the back. Look at.

• 1:50:39Speaker 02

  What?

• 1:50:39Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:50:41Speaker 02

  You know what they say?

• 1:50:43Bobby Lee?

  Let me see the back, all the way to the back.

• 1:50:46Bobby Lee?

  Let me see the back all the way.

• 1:50:48Speaker 02

  You have the same head as me.

• 1:50:49Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, that's it.

• 1:50:50Speaker 06

  He has good hair, thick hair. You have nice hair.

• 1:50:53Speaker 02

  I had it shaved.

• 1:50:54Bobby Lee?

  I mean, if you were gonna rate him, what would it be?

• 1:50:57Speaker 06

  Um, like, physicality?

• 1:50:58Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, everything.

• 1:51:00Speaker 06

  I'd give Jaime a solid overall seven.

• 1:51:04Bobby Lee?

  That's so.

• 1:51:05Speaker 00

  That's so generous.

• 1:51:07Bobby Lee?

  You're such a fucking liar.

• 1:51:11Speaker 00

  You're so lucky that.

• 1:51:12Bobby Lee?

  You're a liar, fast.

• 1:51:13Speaker 06

  But here, here's my.

• 1:51:14Bobby Lee?

  That's crazy.

• 1:51:15Speaker 06

  But you're also asking a person, like, on a scale of zero to Bobby.

• 1:51:18Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:51:18Speaker 06

  He's a seven. Like, you're my 10.

• 1:51:21Bobby Lee?

  No. No, let me just say something, okay? We're talking about.

• 1:51:25Speaker 02

  Just taken.

• 1:51:26Bobby Lee?

  World metrics.

• 1:51:28Speaker 06

  What are the world, okay, give me a zero to what, Brad Pitt?

• 1:51:30Bobby Lee?

  So to me, I'll tell you, okay, so I think that, like, I even think, like, Michael Sarah is a five.

• 1:51:39Speaker 06

  Okay.

• 1:51:39Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean?

• 1:51:40Speaker 00

  Wow, you put him at a five, okay.

• 1:51:42Bobby Lee?

  He's a five or six, average.

• 1:51:43Speaker 00

  Is that just physical or, like, his career and?

• 1:51:45Bobby Lee?

  No, that's without career. Career makes him nine.

• 1:51:48Speaker 00

  Physical only.

• 1:51:49Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, and so, and then let me get, let's see, um.

• 1:51:53Speaker 06

  Give me a two.

• 1:51:55Bobby Lee?

  A two?

• 1:51:57Speaker 06

  You gave Alex, you're a two?

• 1:51:59Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, you're a two. Yeah, yeah, you're a two. You're a two or three.

• 1:52:01Speaker 00

  Or, oh, hey, or three?

• 1:52:05Speaker 06

  What makes it a three? Three, what is he wearing when it gives him a three?

• 1:52:10Bobby Lee?

  When I'm, when he opens his mouth and I, I'm fond of him, I go, oh, maybe he's a three.

• 1:52:15Speaker 00

  Oh, it's a sliding scale.

• 1:52:16Bobby Lee?

  But when I first see him, I give him a two.

• 1:52:20Speaker 06

  What about Gilbert and George?

• 1:52:22Bobby Lee?

  I think Gilbert's a seven.

• 1:52:23Speaker 00

  I'll take that.

• 1:52:24Speaker 06

  Oh, wow.

• 1:52:24Speaker 00

  Thank you so much.

• 1:52:25Bobby Lee?

  I think EJ's a seven.

• 1:52:26Speaker 00

  What?

• 1:52:28Bobby Lee?

  No, I mean, you're gonna get like probably a four.

• 1:52:31Speaker 06

  No, George is actually like-

• 1:52:34Bobby Lee?

  That's two points above Alex.

• 1:52:37Speaker 06

  George-

• 1:52:37Bobby Lee?

  That's two points above Alex!

• 1:52:39Speaker 00

  But then you're gonna give me a three with my personality after having him.

• 1:52:42Bobby Lee?

  Oh, with the personality? Oh my god, you're doing it down there.

• 1:52:46Speaker 06

  Can you rate me pre-paralysis? Pre-paralysis and post-paralysis?

• 1:52:51Bobby Lee?

  No, I think you're probably an eight point five, nine.

• 1:52:55Speaker 06

  Oh, oh my god, pre-paralysis.

• 1:52:58Speaker 02

  What do I fall in?

• 1:52:59Bobby Lee?

  What?

• 1:52:59Speaker 02

  What do I fall in then?

• 1:53:01Bobby Lee?

  Well, okay.

• 1:53:01Speaker 02

  Be honest.

• 1:53:02Bobby Lee?

  I mean, if Alex is a-

• 1:53:03Speaker 02

  I'm feeling pretty good for myself.

• 1:53:03Bobby Lee?

  Three, you know what I mean? I mean, you do the math, I mean, what do you think you fall in?

• 1:53:09Speaker 02

  Uh, six.

• 1:53:11Speaker 00

  And then break, break down why you believe that.

• 1:53:12Bobby Lee?

  I'm a six.

• 1:53:14Speaker 02

  You're a ten.

• 1:53:15Bobby Lee?

  No, no, I'm a six. I'm gonna have a cigarette before they get there.

• 1:53:22Speaker 02

  Hi, Kalina.

• 1:53:22Speaker 06

  Hi, hi, mate. When did you cut your hair?

• 1:53:24Speaker 02

  Uh, a couple, like, three weeks ago, I think.

• 1:53:27Speaker 06

  Thank you, by the way. I've been watching all of the episodes. You crush it. I saw the one with, um, Ben Schwartz. When you were fangirling.

• 1:53:36Speaker 02

  Yeah, I was.

• 1:53:36Speaker 06

  So cute.

• 1:53:37Speaker 02

  Yeah, he was cool. I liked him.

• 1:53:39Speaker 00

  You think Bobby goes too hard on Jaime as an out, as an observer from the outside?

• 1:53:42Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:53:45Speaker 06

  Yeah, but also like, if you love it, you know, that's his like, honestly, like, his ultimate love language is the harder he roasts you, the more he loves you. Cause he feels as though he can be his ugliest self with you, which means he feels safe around you. If he's like nice to you, he probably doesn't like you very much. If he has to like sit up straight, or if he has to like behave in a corporate way, he probably doesn't like you. And he'll never be close to you. So, I, it's like, very gaslighty of me to say this, but like, I guess like, take the abuse.

• 1:54:16Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:54:16Speaker 06

  I-

• 1:54:17Speaker 00

  He goes, okay.

• 1:54:18Speaker 06

  You know what I mean?

• 1:54:19Speaker 02

  No, but he does help me, um, sometimes on jokes and stuff, so.

• 1:54:22Speaker 06

  Off camera though, is he like, kind to you?

• 1:54:24Speaker 02

  He's kind. You wanna see my impression of him?

• 1:54:26Speaker 06

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:54:27Speaker 02

  Okay. I'm gonna go sit over there real quick.

• 1:54:28Speaker 06

  Yeah, go ahead.

• 1:54:32Speaker 00

  Excuse me, can you not use our merch as a tissue paper?

• 1:54:34Speaker 06

  My, my left-

• 1:54:35Speaker 00

  That's a premium product, man.

• 1:54:37Speaker 06

  My paralyzed left nostril is leaky. Okay, go ahead, show me.

• 1:54:43Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 1:54:43Speaker 06

  Oh, wait, that is it. That's part of it. Great, great start.

• 1:54:47Speaker 02

  What's up? What's up, Gilbert? Little fucking raccoon.

• 1:54:53Speaker 00

  You've never called me that, but, okay.

• 1:54:54Speaker 02

  I just woke up.

• 1:54:57Speaker 02

  I just woke up. Anyways.

• 1:55:04Speaker 02

  What do you think?

• 1:55:07Speaker 00

  I can't- Usually you wait for them to like-

• 1:55:10Speaker 06

  Keep going, keep going.

• 1:55:11Speaker 02

  See, the thing is that, the thing is that-

• 1:55:14Speaker 06

  The thing is, is that?

• 1:55:15Speaker 02

  The thing is that, that-

• 1:55:18Speaker 00

  Well, you've mutated into something else.

• 1:55:22Speaker 06

  Okay.

• 1:55:23Speaker 00

  Uh-oh.

• 1:55:23Bobby Lee?

  Get out of my seat, man!

• 1:55:25Speaker 00

  He had an impression of you.

• 1:55:27Bobby Lee?

  Really?

• 1:55:27Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:55:28Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:55:30Bobby Lee?

  Real loud, I'd like to hear it, actually.

• 1:55:33Speaker 02

  What is it?

• 1:55:34Bobby Lee?

  I'd like to hear your impression.

• 1:55:36Speaker 02

  I'll have to be over there.

• 1:55:37Bobby Lee?

  No, you have to just do it that way.

• 1:55:39Speaker 00

  Pretend you're playing a piano.

• 1:55:40Bobby Lee?

  Right?

• 1:55:43Speaker 00

  Oh, he missed it.

• 1:55:44Speaker 06

  He missed it. He missed the beginning.

• 1:55:45Bobby Lee?

  What?

• 1:55:46Speaker 02

  I just woke up. Give me a second, give me a second.

• 1:55:51Speaker 02

  I just woke up in the middle of the day. And now I'm gonna get a burger to fill my stomach.

• 1:56:05Speaker 02

  Gilbert, your hat is dumb. Jaime, you're a sneaky little Mexican.

• 1:56:17Speaker 02

  Little-

• 1:56:19Bobby Lee?

  What?

• 1:56:20Speaker 02

  What?

• 1:56:20Bobby Lee?

  I've never said that word. I've never said that word in my life.

• 1:56:24Speaker 02

  Jaime, you little bean eater.

• 1:56:27Bobby Lee?

  Yes, I've said that.

• 1:56:33Bobby Lee?

  Cross Eye. That's a good song. Yeah, don't ever call it Cross Eye again. But you call me Bean.

• 1:56:44Speaker 06

  Well, you call me Bean.

• 1:56:46Bobby Lee?

  You call me Bean. You call me Bean. And rice.

• 1:56:56Speaker 06

  I sent Bobby this thing yesterday.

• 1:56:59Bobby Lee?

  What?

• 1:57:00Speaker 00

  She listened to this.

• 1:57:07Speaker 06

  Sorry, sorry, sorry.

• 1:57:09Bobby Lee?

  Stop, do it.

• 1:57:10Speaker 00

  The most amount of noise and.

• 1:57:12Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:57:16Speaker 06

  I'm just learning to be on a mic again.

• 1:57:17Speaker 00

  Out of practice.

• 1:57:18Speaker 06

  Please forgive me, I'm out of practice, I don't even know what to do.

• 1:57:24Bobby Lee?

  You call me Bean. You call me Bean.

• 1:57:32Bobby Lee?

  But not earth. Definitely not earth.

• 1:57:39Bobby Lee?

  But you're definitely a bean. A big fat sloppy bean. I clean up after myself. Thank God. Now. Now you do. Now you do.

• 1:57:55Bobby Lee?

  To say you're pussy.

• 1:58:00Bobby Lee?

  You know, give me pussy.

• 1:58:12Bobby Lee?

  That's pretty good.

• 1:58:19Bobby Lee?

  Um, where's everybody? We're here. Wait, I gotta go outside. I gotta greet them. I gotta greet them.

• 1:58:27Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:58:28Speaker 06

  Okay.

• 1:58:29Bobby Lee?

  You wanna hear a funny story?

• 1:58:30Speaker 00

  Are you nervous?

• 1:58:31Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I've never been no more nervous.

• 1:58:32Speaker 06

  But why are you nervous?

• 1:58:33Speaker 00

  Why?

• 1:58:34Speaker 06

  Just get on the mic and explain. They're not here yet. They'll text me when they get here. Yeah.

• 1:58:42Bobby Lee?

  Well, I haven't hung out with Deborah really until since Mad TV. I've run into her. She is awesome, but I'm nervous about her because I think she's a very big star. Also, you have to understand that like when I was on that show, when I was, because these are the ones that were on already. Later in the show, when I was on Mad, I felt more comfortable when Ike and all those guys came in, but it's like, um, this was more like I was just so scared and starstruck and like just shy and very anxious. So that's why, you know what I mean? I mean, we've already had Mo and Arias on, but I don't know.

• 1:59:15Speaker 06

  You still see him as like your like superior?

• 1:59:17Bobby Lee?

  A little bit, yeah. A little bit.
