• 4:37Speaker 04

  It's gone.

• 4:38Bobby Lee?

• 4:43Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 4:43Bobby Lee?

  I go, yeah. They got funding.

• 4:45Speaker 04

  Great.

  They lost the money. They always lose the money, I don't know where the money goes.

• 4:54Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 4:55Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. But that, yeah, the project's now, well, you guys do, I have a couple of Hollywood, but my point is, is that, or You have a couple Hollywood? I have a couple of Hollywood things that I'm doing. You know, but would you say the movie that we're in together is more independent, not Hollywood?

• 5:09Speaker 03

  I think it was independent.

• 5:10Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 5:11Bobby Lee?

  It's independent.

• 5:11Speaker 03

  It was an independent movie.

• 5:12Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 5:12Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 5:13Bobby Lee?

  Right, but it's stacked with Hollywood.

• 5:15Speaker 03

  Yeah. I mean, we're in it.

• 5:16Bobby Lee?

  I know.

• 5:17Speaker 03

  Right?

• 5:18Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, so is it indie? Oh, they got the indie, they got indie money. Do you watch guys say he's part of the Hollywood crew? That's what he's trying to get at.

• 5:26Speaker 04

  That's what Hollywood looks like.

• 5:28Bobby Lee?

  That's the real. Does it look like that?

• 5:30Speaker 04

  That's what it is.

• 5:31Bobby Lee?

  So I've seen it, daddy?

  Okay. The movie that we're in is called Nimrod?

• 5:51Speaker 03

  Yeah, you were so fucking creepy in that. And fun.

• 5:58Speaker 04

  Thank you.

• 6:00Speaker 03

  I have to say my favorite thing about Fred in this movie.

  Yeah.

• 6:03Speaker 03

  Your performance.

• 6:04Speaker 04

  Thank you.

• 6:05Speaker 03

• 6:12Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 6:13Bobby Lee?

  Your, your choice.

• 6:14Speaker 03

  And then you have to You know, it was, it was the costume designer

• 6:18Bobby Lee?

  Uh huh.

• 6:18Speaker 03

  Was like, I have this idea for this character.

• 6:21Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 6:21Speaker 03

  Do you think Fred would be up for it? I remember being there for this conversation. And I was like, I think he would. You should ask him. And so she asked you and

• 6:30Speaker 04

  Yeah, I always just say, oh, whatever you guys want to do.

• 6:33Speaker 03

  Yeah. But you're so bulky.

• 6:35Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 6:36Speaker 03

  Like, and the way you move, like, you can't even put your arms all the way down. It's very funny.

• 6:40Speaker 04

  No. And I have a question for you.

• 6:43Speaker 03

  What is it?

• 6:44Bobby Lee?

  Okay.

• 6:45Speaker 04

  The line where you're like, have you ever seen a roadie?

• 6:48Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 6:48Speaker 04

  Did you make that up?

• 6:49Speaker 03

  I did. Why?

• 6:51Speaker 04

  Because it's really funny.

• 6:52Speaker 03

  Oh, my God, you guys, thank you so, that means so much coming from you guys.

• 6:56Bobby Lee?

  It's a good part for you.

• 6:57Speaker 03

  But I felt bad, yeah, so there's this scene at the beginning where

• 7:01Bobby Lee?

  Well, let's explain it in general.

• 7:02Speaker 03

  Let's say what the movie is.

• 7:03Bobby Lee?

  Do you want to start?

• 7:04Speaker 03

  Sure. It's Nimrod's, it's a Green Day comedy. It's a

• 7:08Bobby Lee?

  The band, the Green Day.

• 7:09Speaker 03

  The Green Day, produced by Green Day.

• 7:11Bobby Lee?

  Produced by the Green Day, the band.

• 7:12Speaker 03

  That's right. And it's about three teenagers in a punk rock band.

• 7:17Bobby Lee?

  We're not those.

• 7:18Speaker 03

  We're not that, not us.

• 7:19Bobby Lee?

  They cast you guys as a teenager. Well, I pushed hard.

• 7:23Speaker 03

  That would be amazing. And they believe that they are opening for Green Day on New Year's Eve, if they can just get from Kansas City to Los Angeles. And we are, I play the mom of the, of the kid.

• 7:35Bobby Lee?

  Yep.

• 7:36Speaker 03

  And at the beginning of the movie, he's just trying to get into a Green Day concert. And they ask me, have you ever snuck into a concert? And I say, yeah. And they say, how? Did you blow a roadie? And I say, blow a roadie? Have you seen a roadie?

• 7:52Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's your line.

• 7:53Speaker 03

  That was my line.

• 7:54Bobby Lee?

  Really good.

• 7:54Speaker 03

  Yeah, thank you. But when we were filming, like, you know, Green Day was there and like their roadies were there. And I, and I felt like they were all like, hey.

• 8:06Speaker 04

  I feel like they would smile along.

• 8:08Speaker 03

  You think they would?

• 8:09Speaker 04

  Yeah. I don't think they, they have that kind of ego.

• 8:11Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 8:12Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 8:12Speaker 03

  You're in the music world.

• 8:14Speaker 04

  Yeah, we all are, I think, to an extent.

• 8:16Bobby Lee?

  What do you mean? I would love to. I just saw Hollywood the other day.

• 8:21Speaker 03

  You just got to talk.

• 8:22Bobby Lee?

  I just saw it, you know what I mean? Yeah, you showed me, but, um

• 8:25Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 8:26Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I know, I mean, I play the music a little bit, but you are more in institutional bands, if I may say. Like bands with, you know what I mean? That, if I could Google you, it's, the members are on.

• 8:37Speaker 04

  Sure.

• 8:38Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, so that's real to me.

• 8:39Speaker 04

  It's all real.

• 8:41Bobby Lee?

  That's fake?

• 8:42Speaker 04

  Because Jenna, I even feel like your connection to Green Day is like, it's pretty real.

• 8:47Speaker 03

  My connection to Green Day?

• 8:48Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 8:49Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 8:49Bobby Lee?

  How real is it?

• 8:51Speaker 03

  I have all three of their phone numbers in my phone.

• 8:54Bobby Lee?

  Whoa.

• 8:57Speaker 03

  I mean, that's good, right? That's kind of real.

• 9:00Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 9:00Speaker 03

  It's one of my proudest, it's one of my proudest flexes.

• 9:04Speaker 05

  How so? Is it through the movie that you got? Or was it prior?

• 9:07Speaker 04

  I remember you knew them years ago.

• 9:09Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 9:09Speaker 03

  Yeah, so years ago, Billy Joe Armstrong starred in a movie that my husband wrote and directed, Lee Kirk. Lee Kirk also wrote and directed this movie. And through that process, they became friends. And then a few years ago, he called Lee and he said, I have this idea. I want to do a Green Day movie, but I don't want it to be a biopic. I kind of have this idea of like a, a young punk band traveling across the country to get to a Green Day concert on New Year's Eve. What do you think? And my husband was like, oh, yeah, I love it. I think that's a great idea. And so he interviewed everybody in the band. And we just went to concerts and we hung out with them all the time. And he got all their stories, he wanted all their stories pre-Dookie.

• 9:51Speaker 03

  So everything about traveling around in a band before they were like Green Day.

• 9:56Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 9:57Speaker 03

  And he weaved all of that, all those little Easter eggs into the story of this movie. But in that process of all these years of knowing Billy Joe and, and going to all the concerts, hanging out with the band, I slowly got all their numbers.

• 10:13Speaker 03

  I got Billy.

• 10:14Bobby Lee?

  Billy first.

• 10:15Speaker 03

  Billy Joe first.

• 10:16Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 10:16Speaker 03

  The crazy thing was that when he was starring in that movie, that first movie called Ordinary World,

• 10:23Speaker 03

  He was like, I, he takes, he's really serious. He's like a serious artist and um, he came over to our house. I was pregnant with my daughter and it was the craziest thing.

• 10:35Bobby Lee?

  Why do you keep looking at Luke?

• 10:36Speaker 03

  I don't, cause he asked me the question.

• 10:38Bobby Lee?

  Oh, that's a very good.

• 10:38Speaker 00

  Yeah, we're having a conversation.

• 10:40Speaker 03

  He, should I?

• 10:41Bobby Lee?

  Your tone, stop it, alright? Cause this, this right here is pure magic.

• 10:45Speaker 05

  No, I know it.

• 10:46Bobby Lee?

  What you have, what you have in front of you is pure magic and don't descrit it with your low, lowbrow comedy.

• 10:52Speaker 03

  Oh, boy.

• 10:53Bobby Lee?

  Okay, this is, these are professional.

• 10:55Speaker 05

  Wow, I'm listening.

• 10:56Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. Look at their IMDBs.

• 10:58Speaker 05

  I'm looking.

• 10:59Bobby Lee?

  Right? It'll take you days. I'm sorry.

• 11:02Speaker 03

  It's fine. I'll direct the rest of it.

• 11:04Bobby Lee?

  Direct it to me because I don't like it.

• 11:05Speaker 04

  And I'll look at you in the meantime. That's a sort of.

• 11:09Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 11:09Speaker 04

  So that we're all.

• 11:10Speaker 03

  And then we'll switch, you say when we switch, we'll say switch.

• 11:13Bobby Lee?

  We'll switch it and then we'll switch it back.

• 11:15Speaker 03

  Okay, wait, I'm gonna go to my right.

• 11:18Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 11:19Speaker 03

  Okay, yeah, so I, I opened the door and there's just like Billy Joe Armstrong is just standing there and he's there to rehearse for the movie.

• 11:29Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 11:30Speaker 03

  And I ran lines with him.

• 11:31Bobby Lee?

  That's amazing.

• 11:32Speaker 03

  We became friends.

• 11:33Bobby Lee?

  Very nice guy. I've known him a long time too.

• 11:36Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 11:36Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, he sent, he used to send coffee here.

• 11:39Speaker 03

  He used to send, oh, the punk bunny.

• 11:41Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 11:41Speaker 03

  Coffee, yeah, yeah, same.

• 11:42Bobby Lee?

  You don't remember that? You ungrateful piece of shit. You're acting like him right now.

• 11:45Speaker 00

  Why are you so angry?

• 11:46Bobby Lee?

  Okay, I'm so, I'm angry, I'm so sorry.

• 11:48Speaker 05

  That was ungrateful.

• 11:49Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. Fred, I apologize.

• 11:50Speaker 04

  I got sent coffee, but it didn't have that name. It was something else.

• 11:54Speaker 03

  Was it, well, it had, it changed names.

• 11:56Speaker 04

  Oh, is that what it is?

• 11:57Bobby Lee?

  It changed names?

• 11:58Speaker 03

  It was Oakland.

• 11:59Speaker 04

  That, that's the one.

• 12:00Speaker 03

  Something, and then it changed to punk bunny.

• 12:02Speaker 04

  I see, okay, okay.

• 12:03Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 12:03Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. You know, I was more Oakland, I think, than punk bunnies.

• 12:06Speaker 00

  I think so.

• 12:07Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 12:07Speaker 03

  You were pre the name change.

• 12:09Bobby Lee?

  I think so, yeah. So I, when I got, yeah, yeah, yeah, that was a lie on my part.

• 12:12Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 12:13Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I apologize.

• 12:15Speaker 03

  Oh, how honest you're being.

• 12:17Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. I'm always honest with you.

• 12:18Speaker 03

  You are.

• 12:19Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. So um, I don't know how I got in, but thank you. But um, it was a fun experience. I got to meet the kids, you know?

• 12:26Speaker 03

  Mm-hmm.

• 12:27Bobby Lee?

  Ryan, Mason.

• 12:29Speaker 03

  Kyler.

• 12:30Bobby Lee?

  Kyler.

• 12:30Speaker 03

  Did you meet, did you meet McKenna? I don't think you were there at the same time.

• 12:33Bobby Lee?

  I never met, I think she walked by me, but I never, I never met her. And then um, yeah, I think Ryan Faust is a gem.

• 12:41Speaker 03

  He is wonderful.

• 12:42Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 12:42Speaker 03

  And he's so good in the movie.

• 12:43Bobby Lee?

  Fred, Fred, Fred, I met him on the movie, I don't know if you know this, I met him on the movie, he goes, you know, he was interested in doing stand-up. So I set up some dates for him and he went up.

• 12:51Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 12:52Speaker 04

  Uh, where did you set up the dates?

• 12:53Bobby Lee?

  At the Comedy Store.

• 12:55Speaker 03

  Can you believe that?

• 12:55Speaker 04

  In LA?

• 12:56Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 12:56Bobby Lee?

  Yes.

• 12:57Speaker 04

• 12:58Bobby Lee?

  And he did it like five times and he came over to the store.

• 13:01Speaker 04

  And did you go?

• 13:02Bobby Lee?

  Of course, I was, it was my show.

• 13:04Speaker 04

  This is so nice.

• 13:05Bobby Lee?

  What do you mean?

• 13:06Speaker 04

  You're right.

• 13:07Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, so I.

• 13:08Speaker 04

  Me?

• 13:08Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 13:09Bobby Lee?

  Very good. Yeah.

• 13:13Speaker 04

  That's so cool.

• 13:13Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. I'm being sincere because I can't tell, because inside, in the, in, in the fucking, my house, you said, I just came by to stop by, I'm not actually going on, right? And I was like, are you being real? And you're like, yeah, I'm being real. And I don't know you that well, so it's like, I'm like, I think he's fucking leaving.

• 13:31Speaker 04

  And Jenna backed it up.

• 13:32Speaker 03

  This is.

• 13:33Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 13:33Speaker 04

  You're used to it.

• 13:35Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 13:35Speaker 03

  That's my favorite thing about Fred.

• 13:37Bobby Lee?

  What, he just lies?

• 13:38Speaker 03

  No, no, he, his like deadpan sense of humor. I've known Fred a very long time. This is the second movie that Fred and I have been in together. We met on a movie called The Promotion that we shot in Chicago. It was a Steve Conrad movie. So Steve Conrad, DTF St. Louis.

• 13:54Bobby Lee?

  Oh, amazing.

• 13:55Speaker 03

  This was his directorial debut and we were in it.

• 13:57Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 13:58Speaker 04

  That was great. Do you remember that?

• 13:59Speaker 03

  Of course.

• 14:00Bobby Lee?

  How long ago was that?

• 14:00Speaker 03

  It was so fun.

• 14:01Bobby Lee?

  That was it?

• 14:02Speaker 04

  Two thousand.

• 14:03Speaker 03

  Two thousand and a long time ago.

• 14:04Bobby Lee?

  Is that Joaquin Phoenix?

• 14:06Speaker 04

  Two thousand and eight or seven?

• 14:07Speaker 03

  No, that's John C. Riley and Sean William Scott.

• 14:10Bobby Lee?

  Oh, Sean Donilon's got that, yeah.

• 14:11Speaker 04

  Molly Shannon?

• 14:13Speaker 03

  No, that's Lily Taylor.

• 14:15Speaker 04

  But isn't that Molly Shannon to the left?

• 14:17Speaker 03

  No, that's me.

• 14:18Speaker 00

  That's her.

• 14:18Speaker 03

  That's myself.

• 14:22Bobby Lee?

  Were you in the movie?

• 14:25Speaker 03

  You know what?

• 14:26Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I don't think you're in the movie, Fred.

• 14:29Speaker 03

  Photoshop that picture.

• 14:30Speaker 04

  I think the whole thing is.

• 14:32Speaker 03

  It is. We never posed for a poster.

• 14:34Speaker 04

  No.

• 14:34Speaker 03

  I don't know where they got that, but it's terrifically smart and.

• 14:37Bobby Lee?

  Can I be on Fred's side on this? It does not look like you.

• 14:40Speaker 03

  No.

• 14:40Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 14:41Speaker 03

  Well.

• 14:42Bobby Lee?

  Looks more like Molly Shannon.

• 14:43Speaker 03

  I'm in it.

• 14:43Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 14:46Speaker 00

  I'm there.

• 14:47Bobby Lee?

  I believe you.

• 14:48Speaker 00

  Film scene.

• 14:48Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

• 14:50Speaker 03

  Yeah, that's where we met.

• 14:51Speaker 04

  Yep.

• 14:51Speaker 03

  And we became very, very good friends.

• 14:53Speaker 04

  Yes, we did.

• 14:54Speaker 03

  And you know what? Do you want me to tell you?

• 14:55Bobby Lee?

  When you say good friends, I have to know.

• 14:57Speaker 03

  Let me tell you how good of a friend.

• 14:59Bobby Lee?

  That's what I was gonna ask.

• 15:00Speaker 03

  Yeah, I'll tell you. So um, we had finished filming it, right?

• 15:04Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 15:04Speaker 03

  And it was like, that spring, after we finished filming this movie, I was in New York and I was doing press for NBC for a new season of The Office. And I was at this club called Budokan.

• 15:14Bobby Lee?

  Legendary show.

• 15:15Speaker 03

  Oh, thank you so much, thanks.

• 15:16Bobby Lee?

  SNL, come on. Portlandia, let's do it. I should introduce myself, Jenna Fischer and Fred Armisen.

  Mad TV?

• 15:27Speaker 00

  Wow.

• 15:28Bobby Lee?

  Yes, you may.

• 15:29Speaker 03

  So uh, I was at this club called Budokan and it was a, um, it was an event, it was a press event. It was a work event, right? It's a party, but put it in quotes, cause it, you know how those are. They're not really parties. You're there, you're mixing with advertisers.

  They're not really parties. You're there, you're mixing with advertisers.

• 20:28Bobby Lee?

  They're nightmares.

• 20:28Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah. And so, um, to get to the bathrooms, you had to go down this really long set of marble stairs. And someone had spilled a drink on the steps. And I fell on the stairs and I fractured my back in four places.

• 20:47Bobby Lee?

  Whoa.

• 20:49Speaker 03

  And I had to leave in an ambulance. And I was taken to the hospital and I was in New York City and I'm not from New York City, but I had become friends with Fred on this movie and I had his number and I texted him and I said, I'm on my way to the hospital. And Angela was with me, Angela Kinsey was with me. She rode in the ambulance with me. And Fred came to the hospital and sat with me. I have very hazy memories of this because I think I was full of a lot of morphine. And then, um...

• 21:19Bobby Lee?

  You stayed the whole time?

• 21:21Speaker 03

  You were there a while.

• 21:22Speaker 04

  A while, a long while, yeah.

• 21:23Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 21:23Bobby Lee?

  What a good man you are.

• 21:25Speaker 03

  Well, so nice. But then I had to, I couldn't leave New York. I had to stay there because I couldn't fly back home for a couple of weeks until I had healed. And Fred would come over and he would take me for very, very, very slow walks in Central Park.

• 21:42Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 21:42Speaker 03

  Because they wanted me to walk every day.

• 21:44Speaker 04

  So like little by little, just like these little...

• 21:46Bobby Lee?

  Wow, baby steps.

• 21:47Speaker 04

  Pacing around.

• 21:48Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 21:49Speaker 05

  What made Fred be the first text that you're sending after fracturing your back? You just were like, this is gonna be the best vibe.

• 21:54Speaker 04

  Look at me.

• 21:56Speaker 00

  Take a good look, dude.

• 21:57Bobby Lee?

  Don't you want to call him now?

• 22:01Speaker 04

  What's the word, hunky?

• 22:02Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, hunky. Yeah, hunky. I want to call you right now.

• 22:04Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 22:05Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 22:05Speaker 04

  No, we were just, we were friends for so long and I think by then, there's, these are SNL people who are around. I don't know if you knew any of the other SNL people.

• 22:15Speaker 03

  I did. We, because we like...

• 22:17Bobby Lee?

  Who names?

• 22:19Speaker 03

  My favorite part of being on The Office and being part of like NBC and having to go to these things was that SNL always had to go as well. And so, like in our friendship, we had like, like, closed down like SNL parties, like the party after the party after the party.

• 22:39Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah.

• 22:40Speaker 03

  And so, yeah, he was just my, you were like my closest...

• 22:44Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 22:44Speaker 03

  One of my closest New York buddies.

• 22:46Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 22:46Speaker 03

  At this time.

• 22:47Speaker 04

  We really hung out.

• 22:48Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 22:48Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 22:49Speaker 05

  So Fred, if Bobby broke his back, like let's say tomorrow, he's like texts you and he's like, oh...

• 22:53Bobby Lee?

  We don't have that, you know, you know, you know, would you, we don't, we don't have that kind of thing.

• 22:58Speaker 05

  Well, I don't know.

• 22:58Speaker 04

  Yeah, but if you texted me, how could I say no?

• 23:01Bobby Lee?

  I think he would, I think he would do it.

• 23:02Speaker 03

  He would be there for you.

• 23:03Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I don't know if I would text.

• 23:04Speaker 05

  You don't think you would text?

• 23:06Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. I think I would just grind it out on my own.

• 23:10Speaker 05

  You would just lay on the stairs and be like, oh, it's hot.

• 23:12Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, and I was slithered my way to the hotel elevator, had the car in my, card in my mouth, like a pirate.

• 23:19Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 23:20Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. And, oh, look.

• 23:22Speaker 05

  Why do you have an accent?

• 23:23Bobby Lee?

  Why do pilots say, what do pilots say?

• 23:25Speaker 05

  Why did you make it?

• 23:25Bobby Lee?

  What do pilots, what do pilots say?

• 23:27Speaker 05

  I don't know.

• 23:27Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 23:28Speaker 05

  Pirates or...

• 23:28Bobby Lee?

  Pirate, pirates.

• 23:29Speaker 03

  Pirate.

• 23:30Bobby Lee?

  Arrgh.

• 23:31Speaker 05

  You're welcome?

• 23:32Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, you're welcome. Thank you. Um, anyway, um, I would have never called.

• 23:36Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 23:37Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 23:37Speaker 04

  But I gotta add that these stairs, these are the real star of this story. Like, they were so dangerous looking. They were like black and it's one of those things that like you just look at it and you're like, that is a bad fall.

• 23:51Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 23:52Speaker 04

  Waiting to happen.

• 23:52Speaker 03

  Had you, this is what I, were you there at that party?

• 23:56Speaker 04

  Oh, yeah.

• 23:56Speaker 03

  That's what I thought.

• 23:57Speaker 04

  Oh, yeah.

• 23:57Speaker 03

  We had been hanging out.

• 23:59Speaker 04

  Yep.

• 23:59Bobby Lee?

  What kind of beverage was that? Do you know?

• 24:00Speaker 05

  Yeah, you spilled that drink.

• 24:01Speaker 03

  I do know.

• 24:02Bobby Lee?

  Okay.

• 24:02Speaker 03

  Well, I don't know what beverage was on the stairs, but...

• 24:05Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 24:05Speaker 03

  I had just gotten a beverage. And I'm not much of a drinker, so I had gotten like a very fruity, pineapple-y kind of thing.

• 24:17Bobby Lee?

  I can imagine, orangey.

• 24:17Speaker 05

  Oh, no.

• 24:18Bobby Lee?

  An orangey thing.

• 24:19Speaker 03

  And as I went down...

• 24:20Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 24:21Speaker 03

  I, I had hardly had any of it.

• 24:23Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 24:24Speaker 03

  And I threw it like in my own face.

• 24:27Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 24:28Speaker 03

  So I'm covered and I reek of booze. So when I get to the hospital, they're like, ma'am, how much have you drunk tonight? And I'm like, I've had nothing. I had one sip and then I poured it all over myself and then I couldn't shower for a long time. I couldn't like raise my arms. And so, it just like, it just went putrid. It stunk. Eventually Angela like tried to like wash my hair for me.

• 24:54Bobby Lee?

  She's a good friend to you.

• 24:56Speaker 03

  She's a good friend.

• 24:56Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 24:57Speaker 03

  But I had to like just sleep only to, I remember, I remember it so clearly. I could only sleep to the left because if I like tried to turn to the right, it was like so rancid.

• 25:07Bobby Lee?

  Oh, my God.

• 25:07Speaker 03

  It was disgusting.

• 25:08Bobby Lee?

  And the bones probably hurt.

• 25:10Speaker 03

  My back hurt a lot.

• 25:11Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I'm sorry.

• 25:11Speaker 04

  I think I have a picture of us in Central Park, but I vaguely remember your arm also being hurt.

• 25:19Speaker 03

  You're right, Fred. I also, I also had a sling on my arm because I also like severely bruised my elbow bone in the fall.

• 25:30Bobby Lee?

  Oh, my God.

• 25:31Speaker 03

  And prior to that, I had been playing guitar and I had to give up guitar after the fall.

• 25:36Bobby Lee?

  And you never played again?

• 25:37Speaker 03

  No.

• 25:37Bobby Lee?

  Whoa.

• 25:38Speaker 03

  Because I couldn't, um...

• 25:40Bobby Lee?

  Pump it down.

• 25:40Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 25:41Bobby Lee?

  I know how you say it, but yeah, yeah.

• 25:42Speaker 03

  Because of my bones.

• 25:43Bobby Lee?

  Your bones. And you probably have guitars in the home because of Lee, probably.

• 25:46Speaker 03

  We have guitars.

• 25:47Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I can tell.

• 25:48Speaker 03

  And they just haunt me. They just mock me.

• 25:50Bobby Lee?

  They have little mouths and they say, come on over here.

• 25:52Speaker 03

  If only, if only you'd never fallen.

• 25:56Bobby Lee?

  You do a little Disney character.

• 25:57Speaker 03

  You could play me.

• 25:58Speaker 06

  I want to do one too.

• 26:00Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 26:00Speaker 06

  Yeah. How are you?

• 26:02Speaker 03

  Good.

• 26:02Speaker 06

  Yeah. I'm ugglo.

• 26:04Speaker 03

  Oh.

• 26:05Speaker 06

  Like ugglo but og.

• 26:06Speaker 03

  I'm sleeko.

• 26:07Speaker 06

  I'm sleeko. Hi. I have a funny laugh. Do you want to hear it?

• 26:10Speaker 03

  Wait, you'll be fine.

• 26:11Speaker 06

  You want to hear, you want to hear my funny laugh?

• 26:12Speaker 03

  What is it?

• 26:15Speaker 03

  I love it.

• 26:16Speaker 06

  Thank you, man. What's your name? I'm David.

• 26:23Speaker 06

  Well, he came out of nowhere.

• 26:25Speaker 05

  Like a banjo or something?

• 26:26Speaker 06

  Who is this mysterious person that came out of the alleyway?

• 26:29Speaker 05

  Wow.

• 26:31Speaker 04

  I'm David.

• 26:36Bobby Lee?

  That was really good, Fred. Yeah, yeah. Took improv, huh?

• 26:41Speaker 04

  Was that improv? I mean, we scripted that.

• 26:42Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I think we scripted it. Yeah.

• 26:45Speaker 04

  We planned that way in.

• 26:46Bobby Lee?

  You guys think that, um, three camera sitcoms are dead?

• 26:51Speaker 04

  I wrote an article for the New York Times about the three camera sitcom. And my, no, I haven't, I guess...

• 27:02Bobby Lee?

  This is what he was doing outside.

• 27:03Speaker 03

  You did get...

• 27:04Bobby Lee?

  It's office at work.

• 27:05Speaker 03

  I was like, you might have.

• 27:07Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. You could have done that.

• 27:09Speaker 04

  I feel like every time people, everyone decides that something is dead, then all of a sudden, there's some successful thing somewhere and then it's fine.

• 27:17Bobby Lee?

  Things are unsure, but I think everything will be fine. Maybe that's what I'm going by right now.

• 27:22Speaker 03

  With the three camera sitcom?

• 27:23Bobby Lee?

  With, in general.

• 27:24Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 27:25Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean? The way things are going.

• 27:26Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 27:27Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean? Uh, less worrying about the outcome and more worrying about what's going on now.

• 27:32Speaker 03

  That's a good way to live.

• 27:36Bobby Lee?

  What? You don't like it?

• 27:37Speaker 05

  No, I don't know. It just felt like you set up your own question to be answered by yourself, but it was good. It was good. I agree with you.

• 27:43Bobby Lee?

  Dude, you're a fucking asshole.

• 27:44Speaker 05

  I just think that's funny. I just thought that was funny.

• 27:47Bobby Lee?

  This is, this is the high list.

• 27:49Speaker 05

  A movie about Green Day, have you, today's kind of a Green Day. Have you seen the stock market?

• 27:55Speaker 03

  That was good.

• 27:55Speaker 04

  That was good.

• 27:56Speaker 00

  He's a young comic. He's starting off.

• 27:58Bobby Lee?

  I didn't like that at all.

• 27:59Speaker 05

  Well, a lot of people, they got applause break.

• 28:01Bobby Lee?

  Can I say this?

• 28:02Speaker 04

  So what did you mean then? Because, uh, money is green? Have you seen the stock market?

• 28:05Speaker 05

  The stock market's really up today. Lots are green.

• 28:08Speaker 04

  So...

• 28:09Speaker 05

  If it's bad, red.

• 28:10Speaker 04

  You just need like a little pause in between. So let's see this.

• 28:12Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 28:14Speaker 04

  It's kind of like...

• 28:15Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 28:15Speaker 04

  You have to make it seem like you're just thinking of it.

• 28:19Speaker 05

  Right, right.

• 28:20Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, right.

• 28:21Speaker 04

  Has made a movie about Green Day. That's good. That's good. Is the stock market these days? A Green Day. That's a Green Day, right?

• 28:28Speaker 05

  Wow.

• 28:29Speaker 04

  Money and then just follow, you know, money, cash.

• 28:31Speaker 05

  That's good.

• 28:32Speaker 04

  Is money green anymore? I don't think it is.

• 28:33Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 28:34Speaker 04

  And then you do, you know, what's a Canada?

• 28:36Bobby Lee?

  A premise.

• 28:36Speaker 05

  Money's not green.

• 28:37Bobby Lee?

  See, he, you put out a premise and he...

• 28:39Speaker 04

  It's good. It's good.

• 28:40Bobby Lee?

  It's not good.

• 28:40Speaker 04

  But just enjoy it.

• 28:42Speaker 05

  Add pause.

• 28:43Speaker 04

  Let it, let it linger a little.

• 28:44Bobby Lee?

  Breathe. You didn't let it breathe.

• 28:45Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 28:46Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 28:46Speaker 05

  It's hard. It's hard to live.

• 28:47Bobby Lee?

  You can explore it more by asking it questions.

• 28:49Speaker 05

  Right.

• 28:50Bobby Lee?

  Which he did.

• 28:51Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 28:51Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. Like, what's up with green?

• 28:53Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.

• 28:54Bobby Lee?

  Whatever it might be, you know?

• 28:55Speaker 05

  Right.

• 28:56Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 28:56Speaker 04

  How come it's on a Pearl Jam day? You know what I mean? Like bring in some other nineties bands into it, you know?

• 29:02Speaker 05

  Right.

• 29:03Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 29:03Speaker 05

  That's good.

• 29:04Bobby Lee?

  It's good. He just shamed you.

• 29:05Speaker 05

  3/11 is a day, March 11th.

• 29:07Bobby Lee?

  Okay, can you be real right now?

• 29:08Speaker 04

  That's not bad.

• 29:09Bobby Lee?

  Do a real interview question?

• 29:10Speaker 05

  Okay, okay.

• 29:14Speaker 05

  Uh, what was it like working with Bobby on set?

• 29:19Speaker 04

  I wasn't on set with Bobby.

• 29:20Speaker 03

  Me either.

• 29:21Speaker 05

  Okay. Wasn't there a thing where there was a Candy Crush incident?

• 29:25Speaker 03

  Oh, you're talking about splitting up together?

• 29:27Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 29:28Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, it's part of the. You don't know about this, do you? And I'm gonna.

• 29:31Speaker 03

  Are you gonna bring him into it?

• 29:33Bobby Lee?

  Well, I want him to see it from my side.

• 29:35Speaker 03

  No one is ever gonna see it from your side.

• 29:38Bobby Lee?

  I think we have the crew here to do it.

• 29:40Speaker 00

  Our audience has heard his side of the story for many years. We'd love to get the other.

• 29:44Bobby Lee?

  Well, there's some, so there's some, some lying that I did.

• 29:47Speaker 03

  Are you, are you on his side?

• 29:49Speaker 00

  Well, I wanna hear the real side.

• 29:50Bobby Lee?

  He doesn't know the real, real side.

• 29:52Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 29:52Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, so let's get it out in the open now.

• 29:54Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 29:54Bobby Lee?

  In front of my audience.

• 29:55Speaker 03

  Fred, we want you to hear this.

• 29:57Bobby Lee?

  And you'll be the judge.

• 29:57Speaker 03

  Okay, we did a TV show together for two years called Splitting Up Together.

• 30:00Bobby Lee?

  You guest starred on that.

• 30:02Speaker 04

  I did.

• 30:03Speaker 03

  Oh, yeah, that's right. That's right. We were all in Splitting Up Together.

• 30:09Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, he forgot that I worked with him. Yeah, yeah, you forgot I worked with.

• 30:14Speaker 05

  I asked the question.

• 30:15Speaker 03

  What else have we done?

• 30:17Speaker 05

  I started panicking. I'm like sweating. I'm like, what was it like on set? Everyone's like, that never happened.

• 30:22Speaker 04

  I gotta check up. Oh, that's wild. That's right, splitting up together.

• 30:26Speaker 03

  What else have we done?

• 30:26Bobby Lee?

  Well, you've done a million things, that's why.

• 30:28Speaker 04

  We've done a million things.

• 30:29Speaker 03

  We did a music video together.

• 30:30Speaker 04

  That's right.

• 30:31Bobby Lee?

  Okay.

• 30:31Speaker 03

  For the old 97s.

• 30:32Speaker 04

  Yep.

• 30:33Bobby Lee?

  So here's the thing, okay?

• 30:34Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 30:36Bobby Lee?

  I don't know if people listening knows how show business work, but I'll show you how show business works.

• 30:41Speaker 04

  I always think everything is gonna go forever. Like, splitting up together, I was like, this is like a real sitcom, like we're.

• 30:47Speaker 04

  They're, this is going, I know, but I, I, I always see it with too much optimism. Like, this is it.

• 30:53Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 30:53Speaker 04

  Jenna's doing the show for like, ever.

• 30:55Speaker 03

  She'll probably be busy for like, the next 10 years.

• 30:58Bobby Lee?

  Well, that's what we wanted, but it just didn't happen.

• 31:00Speaker 03

  It didn't happen.

• 31:01Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. I was, you've done many sitcoms like that that just didn't work, right?

• 31:06Speaker 04

  I've done shows. I've never done a sitcom. But I've done shows that did.

• 31:10Bobby Lee?

  What do you mean you've never done a sitcom?

• 31:11Speaker 04

  Never done a sitcom.

• 31:13Bobby Lee?

  What?

• 31:14Speaker 04

  It's true. That, that's not a joke, but, uh.

• 31:17Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, you never series regularly on a sitcom, you mean?

• 31:19Speaker 04

  No.

• 31:20Bobby Lee?

  But you've guest starred on a lot.

• 31:21Speaker 04

  Not like a three-camera thing. Stuff like, but the, your show was like that.

• 31:26Speaker 03

  Mm-hmm.

• 31:27Speaker 04

  Splitting Up Together.

• 31:27Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 31:28Speaker 04

  I've done stuff like that.

• 31:29Bobby Lee?

  Anyway, this is how it works, okay? So you get the camera on Jen. Close. Can I call you Jen?

• 31:36Speaker 03

  Sure.

• 31:38Bobby Lee?

  And, um, you have a little monologue in front of a, a crowd. The family.

• 31:44Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 31:44Bobby Lee?

  Right? So it's not like, you know, it's not like you have a one-shot and I have a one-shot. You have a one-shot.

• 31:51Speaker 03

  I love how you are setting it up.

• 31:52Speaker 04

  I already, yeah, already how you.

• 31:53Bobby Lee?

  Right? No, I'm setting it up the way it is.

• 31:56Speaker 05

  Painting a picture.

• 31:58Bobby Lee?

  Of what it is, of reality, is what I'm doing.

• 32:01Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 32:01Speaker 05

  Right?

• 32:02Bobby Lee?

  I'm not confusing it or muddying up the waters.

• 32:04Speaker 05

  Right.

• 32:05Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 32:05Bobby Lee?

  All right? I'm being real about it.

• 32:07Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 32:08Bobby Lee?

  Right? Single on you, group shot on us.

• 32:11Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 32:11Bobby Lee?

  Maybe punch in.

• 32:13Speaker 03

  Maybe.

• 32:13Bobby Lee?

  Maybe punch in, but they hadn't at this point.

• 32:16Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 32:17Bobby Lee?

  It's a wide shot, and she gets mad. Why?

• 32:21Speaker 03

  Okay. I'm gonna set it up a little differently.

• 32:26Speaker 00

  A different setup.

• 32:27Speaker 05

  A different picture.

• 32:27Bobby Lee?

  I do whatever I want to.

• 32:29Speaker 03

  Okay, so it's a scene. My memory is that it's Christmas.

• 32:33Bobby Lee?

  It is.

• 32:34Speaker 03

  We're all in Christmas onesies, matching Christmas pajamas. It's the whole cast sitting on the floor of the living room set. And I'm standing in front of the Christmas tree, and I'm facing them. This is my memory, and I have this kind of emotional speech I have to give. It's supposed to be, but I also have to be funny in it, but it also has to be emotional.

• 32:56Bobby Lee?

  And you were all that.

• 32:57Speaker 03

  Thank you.

• 32:58Bobby Lee?

  To say the least.

• 32:58Speaker 03

  Thank you so much. And.

• 33:01Bobby Lee?

  You hit it out of the ball, kiddo. I mean, hit it at the ballpark on my bet.

• 33:04Speaker 03

  So, you know, you do.

• 33:06Bobby Lee?

  Hit it out of the ball.

• 33:06Speaker 03

  You know, coverage, you do coverage.

• 33:08Speaker 05

  Right.

• 33:09Speaker 03

  So when the camera was on me, you don't see, the camera doesn't see them. It just sees me. But they have lines, and they have to say their lines to me throughout my speech.

• 33:20Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, point taken.

• 33:21Speaker 03

  And on the first take, I'm like, doing my work, and I'm scanning the room, and I see everybody, and everyone's eyes are on me, and they're giving me their lines. And I get to Bobby, and he's looking down. And I'm like, oh, I don't know what that's about. Okay, whatever. So we do another take. Same thing. I get to Bobby, he's looking down, I see he has his phone. And I swear, my first thought is, oh my God, I hope everything's okay. He must have gotten an important text message from someone. I hope it's all right, because who would get their phone out in the middle of a take but for an emergency?

• 33:59Bobby Lee?

  What? That's not real.

• 34:01Speaker 03

  Right?

• 34:01Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 34:02Speaker 03

  And?

• 34:03Bobby Lee?

  Those are lies.

• 34:04Speaker 00

  Finish the story.

• 34:04Speaker 03

  It's not a lie. I was, I was like, oh no, there must be a reason.

• 34:09Bobby Lee?

  That's still, in your head, that's an emergency, a family development.

• 34:12Speaker 03

  I mean, that's a little bit of an embellishment, but I did think like, oh, an important something.

• 34:17Bobby Lee?

  I already know.

• 34:18Speaker 03

  Something happened.

• 34:19Bobby Lee?

  Fuck you.

• 34:22Bobby Lee?

  I already know that I lost you, all right?

• 34:26Speaker 03

  But then.

• 34:26Bobby Lee?

  And I'm not gonna pick you back up.

• 34:27Speaker 03

  But then I realized, he is, like, I thought he was scrolling Instagram. He's watching videos on his phone. Apparently, he was playing Candy Crush or some other game.

• 34:36Bobby Lee?

  Candy Crush.

• 34:37Speaker 03

  Candy Crush.

• 34:37Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 34:38Speaker 03

  And so, like, on the first.

• 34:40Bobby Lee?

  Really high up on my, no, fuck you, Fred. And I was getting very hyped up, and I was at a level, I remember going, I gotta finish this level, 'cause I have OCD too, so I have mental disorder.

• 34:48Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 34:49Bobby Lee?

  It's that itch, you know?

• 34:51Speaker 05

  Oh my God.

• 34:51Bobby Lee?

  So I'm like, I gotta get to 900, whatever the level was, okay? And I, and I got there. And I, and thank you for much. Thank you very much.

• 34:56Speaker 04

  But you have to pick another time to do it.

• 34:58Bobby Lee?

  No, I had to do it.

• 34:59Speaker 04

  That's not.

• 34:59Bobby Lee?

  And I, I tell you what, it didn't interfere.

• 35:01Speaker 03

  Oh my God. Oh my God, this is hilarious. That's my phone interrupting this podcast. That's my phone ringing in the middle of the story.

• 35:10Bobby Lee?

  That's insane.

• 35:10Speaker 03

  That is awful.

• 35:11Speaker 04

  That's ironic.

• 35:12Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. It's ironic. It's called irony.

• 35:15Speaker 04

  It's called irony.

• 35:16Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 35:20Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, so Fred, you're, you're lost. So what I was doing is, there's 10 eyes she could look at.

• 35:26Speaker 03

  This is his argument. This is his argument.

• 35:28Speaker 04

  I would say.

• 35:29Speaker 03

  He literally said, look at Oliver.

• 35:31Speaker 04

  Opted to not be in the scene.

• 35:32Bobby Lee?

  No, I had to be in the scene. I'm not in a level where I can go, I'm not doing the fucking cross-coverage.

• 35:38Speaker 04

  You could excuse yourself.

• 35:39Bobby Lee?

  I have diarrhea, make an excuse like that?

• 35:41Speaker 04

  Like, do you need me for this?

• 35:43Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, but now I'm, I look like a Hollywood.

• 35:46Speaker 00

  You're whispering into a mic.

• 35:47Speaker 05

  You just got to Hollywood.

• 35:48Bobby Lee?

  But now I look like a fucking, you know, douchebag.

• 35:51Speaker 04

  But look what happened.

• 35:52Speaker 05

  Yeah, it was the Candy Crush thing.

• 35:53Speaker 04

  The impression you made on Jenna is that you were playing a game.

• 35:57Speaker 03

  But so I, I bit his head off. I did.

• 35:59Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, she bit my head off.

• 36:01Speaker 03

  I said, Bobby, what the actual fuck, dude? What is happening?

• 36:05Bobby Lee?

  And I was shamed.

• 36:06Speaker 04

  Is that true?

• 36:07Bobby Lee?

  Oh, yeah.

• 36:08Speaker 03

  And I felt bad then.

• 36:09Speaker 00

  No.

• 36:09Bobby Lee?

  No.

• 36:09Speaker 00

  No.

• 36:10Bobby Lee?

  No, no, no, no.

• 36:10Speaker 00

  Thank you.

• 36:11Bobby Lee?

  No, thank you. Thank you for correcting me.

• 36:14Speaker 03

  No, I feel bad that you ever have any shame about.

• 36:17Bobby Lee?

  I have absolutely no shame. It's a funny thing to even talk about. That's why I brought it up.

• 36:21Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 36:22Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean? Yeah.

• 36:23Speaker 00

  But he hasn't done that ever since on a crosscover.

• 36:25Speaker 03

  Well, I think that's good.

• 36:26Bobby Lee?

  I will never do it again.

• 36:27Speaker 03

  Well, thank goodness it was me then.

• 36:30Bobby Lee?

  That is true.

• 36:30Speaker 03

  It could have been someone else who would have, like, really.

• 36:33Speaker 00

  Christian Bale would have just punched.

• 36:36Speaker 03

  You know what I mean?

• 36:37Bobby Lee?

  It would have been out of his mind. Marlon Brando.

• 36:40Speaker 00

  Nope.

• 36:40Bobby Lee?

  The horror. The horror. You know, remember?

• 36:45Speaker 04

  Remember?

• 36:45Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, 'cause now I'm in that scene, but I'm like, I'm not on camera. You know what I mean, my character, but, but anyway, yeah, I will never do that again, and I learned a very valuable lesson, and I felt bad about it.

• 36:55Speaker 03

  But we're, we're over it.

• 36:57Bobby Lee?

  You and I have way past it.

• 36:59Speaker 03

  We're way past.

• 36:59Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. It's like, you know, um, at the time, I didn't feel bad, but I feel bad now.

• 37:06Speaker 03

  Wait, what?

• 37:07Speaker 00

  What?

• 37:09Speaker 05

  Kind of backtracking as your lawyer here.

• 37:11Bobby Lee?

  No, no, no, no, you're not. I fired you as a lawyer.

• 37:13Speaker 03

  You mean, in the moment that you were doing it, because you didn't realize.

• 37:16Bobby Lee?

  I'm being completely honest with you.

• 37:18Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 37:18Bobby Lee?

  There's not a shame.

• 37:19Speaker 03

  You didn't.

• 37:19Bobby Lee?

  No. I was like, what's this white lady? Oh, I mean, that's my mind.

• 37:24Speaker 03

  She's the um.

• 37:24Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I got, I got race in there. You know what I mean? I was like, what's this white bitch doing around this corner? You know, something like that.

• 37:31Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 37:32Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, and I didn't like it. But I love you now.

• 37:37Bobby Lee?

  I felt bad about the whole thing.

• 37:38Speaker 04

  And where is that game now? The Candy Crush?

• 37:41Bobby Lee?

  I stopped playing the game. In fact, I, Mr. Ormus, and if I may call you that, and also, I, I have stopped playing it, and I've stopped playing video games in general, 'cause I had an addiction problem. Yeah, and I quit, also quit pornography as well. So I've, yeah, I've quit. Don't even clap for that.

• 37:57Speaker 04

  Was it, were any of the?

• 37:57Speaker 05

  It's a hard.

• 37:58Speaker 04

  Were any of the games pornographic? Was ever like?

• 38:00Bobby Lee?

  They didn't cross over. Yeah, I don't know how to get those games. It's just an Xbox.

• 38:03Speaker 05

  They're hard to get.

• 38:04Speaker 04

  But that's the, that's the invention. If they make that, they're gonna score.

• 38:09Bobby Lee?

  Anyway, the movie comes out August.

• 38:11Speaker 03

  14th.

• 38:12Bobby Lee?

  I'm all over the place.

• 38:13Speaker 03

  When is this coming out?

• 38:16Speaker 04

  Don't say it's live.

• 38:17Speaker 05

  It's not. Definitely not live. That's why I'm nervous.

• 38:21Speaker 04

  How did I think that was Molly Shannon?

• 38:22Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 38:25Speaker 04

  What was my math? That I was like?

• 38:27Bobby Lee?

  I don't know.

• 38:27Speaker 04

  Molly Shannon.

• 38:28Bobby Lee?

  That wasn't it.

• 38:29Speaker 00

  We all believed you.

• 38:29Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, we believed you too.

• 38:30Speaker 00

  Yeah, it is Molly Shannon.

• 38:32Bobby Lee?

  'Cause you had like an authoritative, I can't speak today.

• 38:35Speaker 04

  I was so sure, looking at that picture. Never in that movie.

• 38:39Speaker 03

  No, she wasn't. I was gonna say, the movie comes out on August 14th in theaters. You should see it in theaters. It's really good in theaters. You get all the music and everything. But there's a special screening on August 11th in certain cities. You can go.

• 38:51Bobby Lee?

  Ooh, are you gonna go to any of those?

• 38:53Speaker 03

  Sneak peek. I might turn up at one.

• 38:55Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I'm gonna tell you something about the movie that I really enjoyed.

• 38:59Speaker 03

  What is it?

• 38:59Bobby Lee?

  I talked about it a little bit on your podcast.

• 39:01Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 39:02Bobby Lee?

  But it was the kind of like, the realness feel of teenage life and the angst and the dirty. I don't, I don't like it when they portray a teenager's room and make it spotless, like it's an Ikea, you know, showroom. I want it to look lived in. And the movie looked lived in. Like, when you came out, I believed that you were the mom. I'd never seen you in a role like that before.

• 39:22Speaker 03

  Thank you.

• 39:23Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I'm like, immediately I was hooked. I go, oh, she's killing it. And then your comedy in it was so dark and fun. And it was a zany part.

• 39:33Bobby Lee?

  It's not a zany part?

• 39:34Speaker 04

  I, I have, I think that the sets, because we started all in location, is what added to that.

• 39:41Bobby Lee?

  Yes.

• 39:41Speaker 03

  Mm-hmm.

• 39:42Bobby Lee?

  That's what I was saying.

• 39:43Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 39:43Bobby Lee?

  There's just, everything.

• 39:44Speaker 04

  It's not an exciting thing that I added, but I'm just saying, to your point, we really did go to Oklahoma, and it was really like, the motel was real. I think that adds.

• 39:53Bobby Lee?

  I think it adds, I think it adds locations and stuff like that. But it just felt good, and that, you know, just working with the kids and their families, and they were, we had to have hamburgers and go out. That was fun.

• 40:05Speaker 03

  Well, you're really good in the movie. You're really, really good in the movie.

• 40:08Bobby Lee?

  I stopped watching the movie when I, my big-headed North Korean face showed up.

• 40:12Speaker 03

  You told me that you stopped, but you shouldn't. You should watch your scenes.

• 40:15Bobby Lee?

  I saw one line, I was like, that's okay.

• 40:18Speaker 03

  They're all good.

• 40:18Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, they're pretty good.

• 40:19Speaker 04

  I think your head is little. A little Korean head. I think it's little and tiny.

• 40:24Bobby Lee?

  Oh, you think it's a tiny little?

• 40:25Speaker 04

  I think it's a little marble.

• 40:26Bobby Lee?

  Dainty Korean. And I really appreciate that, you know?

• 40:29Speaker 04

  That's how I see you.

• 40:30Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, maybe it's the stereotype of their thing. Oh, Koreans have big heads. I mean, is that a stereotype? No, look at the Mexicans.

• 40:39Bobby Lee?

  Is it?

• 40:40Speaker 05

  I think so. I mean, I have a big head.

• 40:42Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. Google, Google if that's a stereotype.

• 40:44Speaker 04

  But I've never heard that.

• 40:45Speaker 05

  They say a lot of Koreans have big heads.

• 40:47Bobby Lee?

  There's like a thing in the community. There's like, what?

• 40:49Speaker 05

  It's a thing in the community, they say.

• 40:50Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, there's certain things that we talk about ourselves that you're not privy to.

• 40:54Speaker 04

  Wow.

• 40:54Bobby Lee?

  Like, we don't talk about that hacky stuff like math or, you know what I mean? We can't drive any of those kind of stereotypes. But there's specific stereotypes, like we're sneaky. We are.

• 41:04Speaker 03

  That's a stereotype?

• 41:05Bobby Lee?

  Well, we think we are. Look at ninjas.

• 41:08Speaker 03

  Oh.

• 41:08Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 41:12Speaker 03

  I just put that together.

• 41:12Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 41:14Speaker 03

  Ninjas are sneaky.

• 41:15Bobby Lee?

  Pretty sneaky.

• 41:15Speaker 03

  I mean, need to be sneaky if you're a ninja.

• 41:18Bobby Lee?

  It's a part of the job.

• 41:19Speaker 03

  Like, half of it.

• 41:20Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 41:20Speaker 04

  They do seem sneaky, though, ninjas.

• 41:22Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 41:22Speaker 04

  I find them sneaky.

• 41:23Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. I say, yeah, me too. And they're good at climbing things, I believe.

• 41:28Speaker 05

  Right.

• 41:29Bobby Lee?

  In a sneaky way, quiet way.

• 41:30Speaker 03

  Very quiet.

• 41:31Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. They also has a stereotype that, like, Japanese businessmen are quiet. And then when they have to talk, it's real. No, the deal go down now!

• 41:41Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 41:42Bobby Lee?

  Or whatever it might be. I said four hundred and ninety-nine thousand! And then that's it. That's the last thing. And you have to negotiate.

• 41:50Speaker 04

  That was really good.

• 41:53Bobby Lee?

  What? Thank you.

• 41:55Speaker 04

  That was very enjoyable.

• 41:57Bobby Lee?

  Is this my Kim Jong-un in Russian?

• 41:59Speaker 04

  Is that your Kim Jong-un?

• 42:00Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, thank you.

• 42:01Speaker 05

  He's pretty Japanese, though.

• 42:03Speaker 04

  You did Japanese just now.

• 42:04Speaker 05

  Yeah, he's Korean, I think. I don't know. I don't want to speak on your thing, but...

• 42:09Speaker 04

  I have a que-

• 42:11Bobby Lee?

  Go ahead, go ahead.

• 42:12Speaker 04

  I have a question for you.

• 42:12Bobby Lee?

  Okay, go ahead.

• 42:13Speaker 04

  What's the plan with Mad TV? Like, there should be more celebration around it? There should be?

• 42:20Bobby Lee?

  No.

• 42:21Speaker 04

  Yes, there should.

• 42:22Bobby Lee?

  You guys were, you know, let me say something. You want to pick blood?

• 42:25Speaker 04

  I saw a picture, I saw a picture that I think four cast members did an appearance somewhere. Maybe it was a Comic-Con or something.

• 42:31Bobby Lee?

  It was Comic-Con.

• 42:32Speaker 04

  And I'm like, where's the, where's the big one? Where there can, there can be like a real show of appreciation for that show?

• 42:40Bobby Lee?

  I, I think-

• 42:40Speaker 04

  Where, where does it even, like, where does it live now?

• 42:42Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, um, I remember Tracy Morgan once came up to me and he go, "Yo, Bob, your show's so, um, not classy." Mad TV, he said.

• 42:54Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 42:54Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, that we do low brow punches down and stuff like that. And I always felt like you guys never really liked us, SNL people.

• 43:03Speaker 04

  That is in your head. Yeah, and you-

• 43:05Bobby Lee?

  And now, now that I know that it's, it's just in my head, I appreciate it.

• 43:10Speaker 04

  Come on.

• 43:11Bobby Lee?

  All right? I really, I needed that from you.

• 43:13Speaker 04

  I think SNL is like literally family with the Myers.

• 43:17Bobby Lee?

  You're right. There is a family connection there.

• 43:20Speaker 04

  I mean, the rumor is, it's, there's too few people doing it that would, anyone would have a problem.

• 43:26Bobby Lee?

  I think you're right.

• 43:27Speaker 04

  Yeah, come on.

• 43:27Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, we would just talk about you guys in a jealous way.

• 43:32Bobby Lee?

  And I, I've never said that out loud. Have I ever said that out loud before?

• 43:36Speaker 05

  Uh, no.

• 43:36Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I've never said that out loud before.

• 43:39Speaker 04

  Whichever way that is, you guys should do something and celebrate it and, you know, have a big-

• 43:44Bobby Lee?

  I think it's hard to get everyone together now. It, yeah, the cast has grown in so many different ways.

• 43:48Speaker 04

  People would be psyched.

• 43:51Bobby Lee?

  It took me a year to get Jordan Peele on this. Just on this podcast. You know what I mean? So it's like, I think it'd be hard.

• 44:00Speaker 04

  But it would be worth it. It would be worth it.

• 44:04Bobby Lee?

  For you to get a, like, an office reunion, like a dinner setup, is that hard? To get, like, the most of the people, I think that's hard.

• 44:12Speaker 03

  My headphone just went out.

• 44:14Bobby Lee?

  Oh, can you help, help, help her?

• 44:15Speaker 03

  But it's okay.

• 44:16Speaker 04

  That's her way of saying she doesn't want to discuss it.

• 44:19Speaker 03

  Oh, wait, it's coming back.

• 44:21Bobby Lee?

  It's coming back.

• 44:21Speaker 03

  Wait, no, now it's totally gone. And now it's like, it's going in and out, but, um-

• 44:26Bobby Lee?

  You guys still have those?

• 44:27Speaker 03

  Oh, wait.

• 44:28Bobby Lee?

  Dinners?

• 44:29Speaker 03

  It's fine. It's back. I won't move.

• 44:32Bobby Lee?

  Okay.

• 44:33Speaker 03

  Um, we have a text thread called Office Peeps, and we text on it a lot.

• 44:40Speaker 03

  And Greg Daniels had a brunch at his house a few years ago, and most of us were there.

• 44:46Bobby Lee?

  All right.

• 44:47Speaker 03

  But some people are in New York, and, and then that's, that gets difficult. So we're, we have not ever had, like, a full everybody cast reunion since the show stopped.

• 44:58Bobby Lee?

  Well, then, yeah, it's hard to get everyone.

• 45:00Speaker 03

  It is. It's hard to get everybody in the same place.

• 45:03Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. Could you do, get, get your reunion going or no?

• 45:05Speaker 04

  Yeah, we have, we have dinners and stuff.

• 45:07Bobby Lee?

  Oh, my god.

• 45:07Speaker 04

  But I mean more like-

• 45:09Speaker 05

  Everybody is doing-

• 45:10Speaker 04

  But I, I mean more like, you should set up a show somewhere. We're all, we're gonna do this appearance. There's gonna be whatever, eight or 10 of us. Come out.

• 45:20Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 45:20Speaker 04

  Come out and like-

• 45:21Bobby Lee?

  Three weeks ago, Stephanie Weir called me and she's like, "I'm doing a show in the nice house, and there's a bunch of mad people on it." I almost did it, but my schedule is, but maybe I will do one.

• 45:28Speaker 04

  People would be psyched. I, I mean, like, some sort of Q and A or something, maybe a show clips.

• 45:33Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, maybe.

• 45:35Speaker 04

  And here's the other part of it. You make a little money doing it.

• 45:38Speaker 05

  Whoa.

• 45:39Bobby Lee?

  Whoa, now you're talking my language, guy.

• 45:41Speaker 04

  Sell some tickets, make them happy, make you happy.

• 45:43Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 45:44Speaker 05

  Now we see where, where this was going, though. You're worried about Bob.

• 45:47Speaker 04

  Oh, I love money.

• 45:49Bobby Lee?

  You do?

• 45:50Speaker 04

  You're kidding?

• 45:50Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 45:51Speaker 04

  Money?

• 45:51Bobby Lee?

  You love it?

• 45:52Speaker 05

  It's true.

• 45:52Speaker 04

  It's the best. Shee and you-

• 45:56Speaker 04

  Order stuff.

• 45:57Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 45:58Speaker 04

  Like, I'll have one of those, one of those, one of those.

• 46:00Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I do that. I do that with Postmates.

• 46:02Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 46:02Bobby Lee?

  But I just throw it into the air.

• 46:04Speaker 05

  I have heard that you do that with Postmates.

• 46:05Bobby Lee?

  What?

• 46:06Speaker 05

  That you order, don't you order from different places?

• 46:08Bobby Lee?

  I'll do a DoorDash, a Postmates, and a fucking, um, Uber rides at the same time.

• 46:13Speaker 05

  Oh, wow.

• 46:14Speaker 04

  Do it.

• 46:15Bobby Lee?

  Let's see who comes faster from the same restaurant.

• 46:19Bobby Lee?

  Jersey Mike, let's go. You mean?

• 46:21Speaker 04

  It's great. You go and get on a plane, you're like, put me up front. Put me in first class, please.

• 46:25Bobby Lee?

  Do you do that? Oh, you do that beforehand?

• 46:27Speaker 05

  You just say-

• 46:27Speaker 04

  No, and I just show up. I might not put me there.

• 46:29Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 46:30Speaker 04

  Flash some cash.

• 46:32Bobby Lee?

  Now, if, if a movie flew you out, coach, would you be mad?

• 46:36Speaker 04

  If what?

• 46:36Bobby Lee?

  A movie flew you out, coach.

• 46:39Speaker 04

  I, I wouldn't consider it a movie.

• 46:43Speaker 04

  I'd be like, I'd be like, that's a project that someone's working on.

• 46:47Bobby Lee?

  Short film? That's a short film?

• 46:48Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 46:49Speaker 05

  I thought you didn't know what coach was for a second.

• 46:51Speaker 04

  Oh, when I was a kid, I did.

• 46:53Speaker 05

  Oh, yeah, yeah.

• 46:55Bobby Lee?

  Like, how old?

• 46:56Speaker 05

  They still have it.

• 46:57Speaker 04

  Like, up to, like, 10 or 11. You know?

• 47:00Bobby Lee?

  Those days, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 47:01Speaker 04

  Yeah, little coloring books and stuff and, uh, but I, I have fond memories of it.

• 47:06Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. Sometimes I go, I'll ask, like, "Can I afford it?" "No, you're fine." Yeah. I just want to keep asking, so I don't, you know, I don't, I want to be, I don't want to be wasting money. But as long as my, you know, money people said, "You, you're fine."

• 47:21Speaker 05

  For first class.

• 47:22Bobby Lee?

  What?

• 47:22Speaker 05

  You're talking about first class, you can-

• 47:24Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, first class. That's what I meant. Sorry, my bad.

• 47:26Speaker 05

  I was just curious.

• 47:27Speaker 04

  I once asked Suzy Orman, I know we were just goofing around a little bit, but I once asked her, I was like, "It's a lot of money, first class." What is your opinion on that?

• 47:36Speaker 03

  What did Suzy Orman say?

• 47:37Speaker 04

  And she said, "You make your living with your body and your voice. And you need that room to rest and not get sick," and that's all I needed to hear.

• 47:50Bobby Lee?

  This is a private- That's all I needed to hear, dude.

• 47:52Speaker 04

  It was great. It was just like, you have to allow yourself that, that room. You make, that's how you make your living.

• 47:57Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 47:57Speaker 03

  Your body is your instrument.

• 47:59Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 47:59Speaker 03

  So you need to transport your instrument with the greatest of care.

• 48:04Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 48:05Speaker 05

  Right.

• 48:05Speaker 04

  Better put. You put it even better.

• 48:07Bobby Lee?

  Now I envision like a violin.

• 48:08Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 48:09Bobby Lee?

  A violinist.

• 48:09Speaker 03

  Mm-hmm.

• 48:10Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, that's what it is.

• 48:11Speaker 03

  How would they transport their instrument?

• 48:13Bobby Lee?

  In the best violinist case out there in the market.

• 48:15Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 48:15Speaker 04

  That's right.

• 48:16Bobby Lee?

  Right. So that, that's what we're doing.

• 48:18Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 48:18Bobby Lee?

  That's very interesting.

• 48:19Speaker 03

  That first class seat is our case.

• 48:21Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. But I have been treated poorly where it's like you go to set and they don't have a trailer for you.

• 48:28Speaker 03

  Did that happen on Nimrods?

• 48:30Bobby Lee?

  I think Nimrods is more of an open, yeah, yeah. No, I had a room.

• 48:34Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 48:34Bobby Lee?

  A nice room.

• 48:35Speaker 03

  Did you?

• 48:36Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. I had, I had one your size.

• 48:39Speaker 03

  Well-

• 48:40Bobby Lee?

  I always compare.

• 48:40Speaker 03

  When I was on Nimrods, I just got a tiny sliver of a honey wagon.

• 48:45Bobby Lee?

  That was pretty good.

• 48:46Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 48:46Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 48:47Speaker 04

  Wait, that's what I had. I had a sliver of a honey wagon.

• 48:49Speaker 03

  Sliver of a honey wagon, because it was an independent movie.

• 48:51Bobby Lee?

  You don't need more than that.

• 48:53Speaker 03

  I mean, it's nice, I think, when you have your own bathroom. And this, we didn't have bathrooms.

• 49:00Bobby Lee?

  We didn't have that.

• 49:00Speaker 03

  We didn't have toilets.

• 49:01Speaker 04

  I do it before I leave L.A. Like, bathroom stuff.

• 49:05Speaker 03

  All happens before.

• 49:06Bobby Lee?

  Well, I mean, we talked about what our opening move is pooing.

• 49:10Speaker 03

  What?

• 49:10Speaker 05

  What?

• 49:11Speaker 03

  What is it?

• 49:12Bobby Lee?

  Well, in the call.

• 49:13Speaker 04

  That was a private conversation. That was very private.

• 49:17Bobby Lee?

  That was private?

• 49:18Speaker 04

  And now, look, now it's on camera.

• 49:20Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 49:20Speaker 05

  It's live.

• 49:21Speaker 04

  Now, look at that.

• 49:22Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 49:22Speaker 04

  This is humiliating.

• 49:26Bobby Lee?

  Sorry, friend.

• 49:28Speaker 03

  You had night shoots on Nimrods, though. You guys both did.

• 49:31Speaker 04

  That's right.

• 49:32Speaker 03

  Weren't your call times, like, you had to be at work at like

• 49:34Bobby Lee?

  I liked that.

• 49:35Speaker 03

  10:00 PM or 11:00 PM?

• 49:36Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I liked that.

• 49:37Speaker 03

  And then you worked all the way till dawn?

• 49:39Speaker 04

  But my feeling is

• 49:40Speaker 03

  Do you like that?

• 49:41Speaker 04

  My feeling is, it's Lee. So I'm like, oh, he's great.

• 49:45Speaker 03

  Oh, that's nice of you to say.

• 49:47Speaker 04

  He does his best to take care of everybody. That's all fine. That's great.

• 49:52Speaker 03

  He is a good, he's a good director that way.

• 49:54Speaker 04

  He's great, supportive, pleasant, not stressed.

• 49:57Bobby Lee?

  So you didn't like it?

• 49:58Speaker 04

  And it's Green Day. So it's just like, we're good.

• 50:02Bobby Lee?

  Okay.

• 50:02Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 50:03Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. I was just grateful to be there. I'll tell you why.

• 50:07Speaker 04

  Why?

• 50:10Speaker 04

  You didn't think this through.

• 50:11Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. I did think it through. I have everything thought through. Because I never know when it's gonna be my last.

• 50:18Speaker 04

  Ooh.

• 50:20Speaker 05

  Winking.

• 50:21Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I never know. Because it's changing so rapidly, sometimes I think to myself, oh, this could be the last one. So just be grateful that you're here. Experience all of it.

• 50:30Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 50:31Speaker 04

  I think a lot of people feel that way. They go through, like, gotta keep it going.

• 50:35Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 50:36Speaker 04

  Right, kind of?

• 50:37Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 50:38Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, it's changed so much, you know, I like, look at kids like this and I just feel bad.

• 50:44Speaker 05

  Well.

• 50:44Bobby Lee?

  Because you don't, they don't, they don't know the excitement. They'll never know the excitement.

• 50:49Speaker 05

  I might, not never.

• 50:51Speaker 04

  And what are you, what are you going for, to be a stand-up comedian or an actor?

• 50:55Speaker 05

  Uh, stand-up comedian. But it feels like with every stand-up comic, that you, you're supposed to act, it seems like. So I take acting classes.

• 51:03Speaker 04

  No, you don't, oh, that's good to take acting classes, but you don't have to act.

• 51:06Speaker 05

  It seems like that's what you do.

• 51:08Speaker 04

  No, I, I think, uh, there are many stand-up comedians who love just doing that. I think Todd Barry is one of those. He's expressed how he's not interested, he loves stand-up.

• 51:18Speaker 05

  I like both, but I definitely wanna do a stand-up. Headlining, touring, stand-up would be cool.

• 51:23Speaker 04

  Oh, you'll do it.

• 51:24Bobby Lee?

  You'll do it.

• 51:25Speaker 05

  Thank you.

• 51:26Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 51:26Speaker 05

  If you say so.

• 51:27Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 51:27Bobby Lee?

  But what I was saying, though, before is, I'm sorry.

• 51:30Speaker 04

  Sorry, sorry, sorry.

• 51:31Bobby Lee?

  I'm sorry, I'm sorry, guys. What I meant by that is, like, a proper pilot season.

• 51:39Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 51:39Bobby Lee?

  You know, where we're like, you have three in one day and you're running around, right? And then you get these calls, like, they're testing you, you get excited, right? And then you get it. You're in some city, like, I remember shooting one in Chicago. And just staying in these cool places, I was young, you know, with a bunch of young people, you never knew. You, you, it could have been like a life changer. These kind of feelings.

• 52:03Speaker 05

  And now it's gone and over.

• 52:04Bobby Lee?

  No, what I'm saying is, is that it just doesn't happen at, like, as frequently as when we came out, I believe.

• 52:09Speaker 05

  No, I get it.

• 52:09Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. And I just, there is a feeling of like, oh, they got, you know, it's different.

• 52:15Speaker 05

  There's other stuff, though, you know, you go to, now, you, instead of that, now it's like, oh, you go to the valley. You record a podcast. You get lunch.

• 52:26Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, are you saying my podcast?

• 52:28Speaker 04

  It's a similar thing.

• 52:29Speaker 05

  It's kind of almost better.

• 52:30Speaker 04

  No, no, but your point, it's like a version of

• 52:33Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 52:33Speaker 04

  getting to the next level.

• 52:35Bobby Lee?

  Oh, so this feels like

• 52:36Speaker 04

  It is.

• 52:37Bobby Lee?

  It is not.

• 52:38Speaker 04

  It is.

• 52:39Bobby Lee?

  It's in my garage.

• 52:41Speaker 04

  This is a studio.

• 52:42Bobby Lee?

  This is not a dream.

• 52:43Speaker 04

  This is, this is a studio.

• 52:44Speaker 00

  I remember going in the Warner Brothers lot, auditioning for pilots, that was a crazy feeling, like, to do that.

• 52:49Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 52:50Speaker 04

  I know, weren't you, like, starstruck even by the, even the entrance?

• 52:53Speaker 00

  The entrance?

• 52:53Bobby Lee?

  Oh, yeah, yeah.

• 52:55Speaker 04

  Whoa.

• 52:55Speaker 05

  I'm in LA.

• 52:56Speaker 04

  Yeah, I pictured, like, me as a little kid would be like, whoa.

• 53:00Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 53:00Speaker 04

  Going through those gates.

• 53:01Bobby Lee?

  Take something crazy, like, we're do, we're doing the table read at the president's office. And you're like, what?

• 53:06Speaker 04

  Whoa.

• 53:07Bobby Lee?

  Is that in the right environment? Right? And then you're going up and you're like, you're in this, like, damp op, office, wooden. You mean, with all these trophies and awards on the wall.

• 53:18Speaker 04

  Or hearing people's names, like, Ben Stiller's gonna be there. You're like, what?

• 53:24Bobby Lee?

  I've had, I've had table reads where the audience were hard hitters. And they're like, don't fuck this up. Like, can you do this table read for this movie? You, you didn't get the part, but it's just, just hear it out loud. And then you show up and then there's these hard hitters in the audience. And you don't even have, what?

• 53:41Speaker 04

  You're a hard hitter, come on.

• 53:42Speaker 05

  You're a hard hitter, dude.

• 53:44Speaker 03

  I did a table read for Steve Martin.

• 53:46Speaker 05

  Whoa.

• 53:47Speaker 03

  Um, he had, he had written a musical. And, um, they just wanted to hear it out loud. And I can't remember the other people that did it, but it was at, um, and I can't sing. So it was very clear to me that this was a reading only, it would go nowhere. And, um,

• 54:05Bobby Lee?

  It was a musical.

• 54:06Speaker 03

  It was a musical.

• 54:07Bobby Lee?

  And there's, like, lyrics on the?

• 54:08Speaker 03

  There were, they, they had already, like, recorded the songs. So they would play the songs, but we read the book. And, um, and I remember that my agent was like, there's something you need to know about Steve Martin. He is very punctual. We will be starting on time. So you need to be there 15 minutes early. Or you're late.

• 54:32Bobby Lee?

  Oh, no!

• 54:34Speaker 03

  And all of

• 54:34Bobby Lee?

  You were late?

• 54:35Speaker 03

  Nope. Everybody was on time. He was exactly on time and we started exactly on time and I thought it was kind of badass.

• 54:42Speaker 04

  Wow.

• 54:43Speaker 03

  I was like, that's kind of rad. And then, a few years later, I actually did end up, I was in his play Meteor Shower.

• 54:52Speaker 03

  And he was there, it was the first production of it, it was in San Diego. And, um, he was there, he was kind of workshopping it, in the sense that, like, the first time a play is performed, the writer is there and does rewrites along the way. And I never forgot it and, um, he invited the cast, oh yeah, that's me in Meteor Shower.

• 55:11Speaker 05

  Wow.

• 55:12Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 55:12Speaker 03

  And he invited the cast out for dinner one night. And I was like, oh my gosh, I have to be on, I have to be 15 minutes early to this dinner because Steve Martin is punctual. And so I showed up 15 minutes early and he was already there and he was at the table. And it was like, the greatest 15 minutes of my life because nobody else was early. Everybody else was like five minutes late and I got like 20 minutes by myself talking to Steve Martin and I still, like, relish it. It's like one of my favorite 20 minutes of my life. Cause he's just amazing.

• 55:46Bobby Lee?

  I love those moments.

• 55:47Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 55:48Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. I have a George Carlin one where

• 55:51Speaker 04

  You met George Carlin?

• 55:52Bobby Lee?

  I was working the back door, I've told this story how many times?

• 55:55Speaker 05

  Couple times.

• 55:56Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 55:57Speaker 04

  I haven't heard it.

• 55:58Bobby Lee?

  I know you haven't. I was a kid, I was working the back door and I was wearing a Comedy Store t-shirt and this man came in and it was George Carlin. And he goes, what's your name, kid? And I go, Poppy Lee, I just started, I just moved up here from the suburbs of San Diego. So I'm like, I don't give a shit.

• 56:16Bobby Lee?

  And then he just kind of walked away. And then a year later, I was still working that back door, he came in and he walked by me and he goes, good evening, Mr. Lee. And he remembered my name.

• 56:26Speaker 05

  Oh, wow.

• 56:26Bobby Lee?

  A year later. And it gave me that old business, like, show business-y kind of, like, tingle down my spine.

• 56:32Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 56:33Bobby Lee?

  Of real class.

• 56:34Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 56:35Bobby Lee?

  And somebody, like Larry David has that, I believe. I think he has that, of that old school class.

• 56:41Speaker 03

  That's really cool.

• 56:42Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, I think that's lost in many ways. You know, I don't even know his name.

• 56:48Speaker 05

  That's true. I had a, I did, I was able to do a table read once with Marin, actually, Mark Marin had me come in and do a table read once. I, there was, and this, I don't experience this ever at all, so it was so stressful. He just wanted to hear something he was working on and I was like, reading for just like the lead person? And I was like, I'm, you're so in your head, cause they always tell you, like, okay, look, it's just to hear it out loud, but you're kind of like, unless I kill it. Cause then you kill it and you're like, hello?

• 57:16Bobby Lee?

  Did you kill it?

• 57:18Speaker 05

  No. And I think, looking back on it, there was, they brought, they bought a bunch of food for everyone. And then at the end of it, there was like a bunch of food left over and they're like, oh, take the food. And no one was really taking the food and I was like, okay, I'll do it. And I scooped like a bunch of food on a bunch of plates and left with like a bunch of the food. And looking back, I think that might have been a bad

• 57:37Speaker 04

  No, no.

• 57:38Speaker 03

  No, no, no, no, no, no.

• 57:39Speaker 04

  Don't waste food.

• 57:40Speaker 03

  It's, it's good that you took the food.

• 57:41Speaker 05

  That seems like a test, like a

• 57:42Speaker 03

  No, no, no, no, no.

• 57:43Bobby Lee?

  No, no, no, no.

• 57:43Speaker 03

  The test is, did you take the food? And yes, you took the food and it's good you took the food.

• 57:47Speaker 05

  Taking the food is good, you wanna take the food.

• 57:49Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 57:49Bobby Lee?

  Why, why, why do you wanna take the food? I would say no.

• 57:51Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 57:51Speaker 04

  No, no, no, don't, don't be wasteful.

• 57:53Bobby Lee?

  No, no, no, no, I think what it is, is like, in my mind, I was like, that kid took too much food.

• 57:57Speaker 04

  No, no.

• 57:58Speaker 05

  Yes, that's true.

• 57:59Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 57:59Speaker 04

  No, no way.

• 58:00Speaker 05

  It was a lot.

• 58:01Bobby Lee?

  Did he offer the food?

• 58:03Speaker 05

  It was like, yeah, take the food.

• 58:04Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, that doesn't seem like an offer.

• 58:06Speaker 05

  I also noticed that Marin went up after I had taken a lot of the food and there was some stuff he was kind of scraping at where there was like not a lot left.

• 58:12Speaker 03

  Well, you can't take all the food.

• 58:16Speaker 05

  And I was like, what are you doing?

• 58:17Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 58:17Speaker 05

  No, I gave a grace period of like, people had like, you know, grace, 30 seconds, get your food. They didn't do it and then I got up there.

• 58:24Bobby Lee?

  To me, it's a test, so if you took a lot of food, I would clock, clock that.

• 58:28Speaker 04

  I would, I would have been impressed.

• 58:32Speaker 04

  I would have been like, good, be a, be a person who's like, it's almost, it's like a kind of honesty.

• 58:37Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 58:37Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 58:38Speaker 03

  All of my aspiring actor days were like, half of it was auditioning for things and the other half was finding free food.

• 58:44Speaker 05

  Yeah. But also the mind games of how the free food that you can get or what's a test secretly.

• 58:51Bobby Lee?

  He's a millionaire. And he helped you and he, it's not, he's a millionaire and he offered you like a $2 sandwich.

• 59:00Speaker 03

  Yeah, I mean, did you get paid to do this table read?

• 59:02Speaker 05

  Um, no.

• 59:04Speaker 04

  No, there you go.

• 59:05Speaker 00

  That's the payment.

• 59:06Speaker 03

  You get all the food you want.

• 59:07Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. Did you get the part?

• 59:09Speaker 05

  No.

• 59:09Bobby Lee?

  Okay.

• 59:10Speaker 05

  I haven't heard about it. I honestly feel like he doesn't remember that I was there.

• 59:13Speaker 04

  And did it ever come out as a project? Did you ever see it on?

• 59:16Speaker 05

  I haven't seen it, but I don't know, it was relatively recent. He's probably still working on it or whatever.

• 59:20Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 59:20Speaker 05

  And I'd be honored to work on it and I'd be, and I, it would be a pleasure and maybe they're gonna hit me up. They don't have my number.

• 59:26Bobby Lee?

  I don't think so. You took too much food.

• 59:29Speaker 05

  Did you ever go to a, did you ever go to a table read? Cause you talk about these things being so cool and good. Did you ever go to one where you were like, this was really bad? Or like a thing with a set?

• 59:38Speaker 03

  Oh, that's a good question.

• 59:39Bobby Lee?

  That's a great question. Yes.

• 59:42Speaker 03

  You did?

• 59:43Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, but I got the part anyway.

• 59:44Speaker 05

  What?

• 59:45Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. I could see myself, when you're saying the words, that they can maybe hear in my voice that I might be nervous, but I'm not. So I'm opening my mouth, I go, that sounded like I was nervous, but I'm not. And then all of a sudden, my head goes out of control. You never, that's never happened. Okay.

• 1:00:01Speaker 04

  I was thinking of something else.

• 1:00:04Speaker 04

  If something's bad.

• 1:00:05Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:00:06Speaker 04

  Some, I always think, oh, they'll fix it. Like, okay, yeah, this is awkward structurally and then they'll fix this at some point. They, I think like they must also know this is bad.

• 1:00:17Bobby Lee?

  Ah, wow.

• 1:00:19Speaker 04

  You know what I mean?

• 1:00:20Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:00:21Speaker 03

  I mean, I feel like the thing that, that I learned from doing the years and years of table reads on The Office. Finally, in season nine, I was a producer and so in the first eight years, every Tuesday at lunch, we would table read the next week's episode. And then the actors had to leave, but the writers and producers stayed behind and did notes. And in my actor brain, I assumed they were talking about our performances. But when I became a producer in season nine and I got to stay, I realized they never talked about our performances. They only talked about the jokes and the structure and if something felt like it didn't work.

• 1:00:59Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 1:00:59Speaker 03

  They completely blamed themselves and like, what they were talking about would be as like minutia as something like, oh, I want somebody to write 12 alts for this one line in this one talking head.

• 1:01:15Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 1:01:16Speaker 03

  That's your assignment. And now you go off and I want you to work on a better tag with the, the, the tag, new tag, a whole new tag for this.

• 1:01:23Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 1:01:23Speaker 03

  And so it was like, it was never picking apart the actors.

• 1:01:28Bobby Lee?

  One time Alison Jones had me, cause I was, I had already been cast on a show and they were, they were reading for my wife. It was like written in the show and they wanted me to read with actresses that came in.

• 1:01:39Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:01:39Bobby Lee?

  And it was an interesting, seeing it from that point of view.

• 1:01:43Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:01:43Bobby Lee?

  Was so interesting to me because it's like, yeah, I mean, people get nervous, but that's not the end. I mean, if somebody fucks up a line, that's not the end.

• 1:01:51Speaker 03

  No.

• 1:01:52Bobby Lee?

  Sometimes they just walk in and that's the guy.

• 1:01:54Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 1:01:54Bobby Lee?

  Or that's a person, you know what I mean?

• 1:01:56Speaker 03

  When I first came out to LA, I took this, um, commercial workshop with a commercial casting director. And at the end of the workshop, she was like, all right, I'm gonna make the same offer that I make after every workshop and no one ever takes me up on it, but I'll do it again. Which is that I invite you to come to a casting session and sit next to me and watch a casting session for a commercial.

• 1:02:16Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 1:02:16Speaker 04

  Oh, man.

• 1:02:17Bobby Lee?

  That's good.

• 1:02:18Speaker 03

  So I was like, I'm 100% doing this.

• 1:02:20Speaker 04

  And did you?

• 1:02:21Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 1:02:21Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, you had, wow.

• 1:02:22Speaker 03

  Yeah, so I'm just arrived in Los Angeles. I've been here, I've taken a workshop.

• 1:02:27Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:02:27Speaker 03

  And now I'm sitting next to this casting director and what was so crazy was that everybody came in the room. They didn't know who I was. So they're regarding me as if I'm a decision maker, but I'm not a decision maker. And so that was interesting.

• 1:02:39Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:02:40Speaker 04

  Wow, what a good idea.

• 1:02:41Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:02:41Speaker 03

  And then what was so interesting to me was how like someone would walk in the room and they would look exactly like what they wanted. Like I knew what they were looking for.

• 1:02:51Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:02:52Speaker 03

  They would walk in, they would look the part and then they wouldn't be good. And you'd be like, oh.

• 1:02:57Bobby Lee?

  Oh.

• 1:02:58Speaker 03

  And then someone else would walk in, they would look nothing like what they wanted and then they would be incredible.

• 1:03:03Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:03:04Speaker 03

  And then someone else would come in and it was like, within the first 20 seconds, you knew if that person was getting a callback or not.

• 1:03:12Bobby Lee?

  Oh, wow.

• 1:03:13Speaker 03

  And there were also people who walked in and just crushed it, but just, they weren't right for it. And it was true, it was just true that they weren't right for it.

• 1:03:22Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, you're right.

• 1:03:23Speaker 03

  For whatever reason.

• 1:03:24Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:03:24Speaker 03

  But I would, I would also say that like 70% of the people were good. They were good enough. And so, and the other people, it's not that they were terrible, they just, they needed more time. Like they should take some more classes and stuff, you know?

• 1:03:41Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:03:42Speaker 03

  Like, but.

• 1:03:43Bobby Lee?

  But I could.

• 1:03:43Speaker 03

  It was such an interesting education. It gave me so much more confidence when I went to auditions after that.

• 1:03:48Bobby Lee?

  But not a lot of people would have taken that up. Not a lot of people would have been like, I'm gonna walk, you know what I mean? Right?

• 1:03:54Speaker 03

  That, she's, I, she told me, you're the first person.

• 1:03:57Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

• 1:03:58Speaker 03

  Taking me up on this offer. And I couldn't believe that.

• 1:04:00Bobby Lee?

  But I can tell because you're working, like I've seen you work, it's almost out of control almost.

• 1:04:05Speaker 03

  It is.

• 1:04:06Speaker 04

  So professional.

• 1:04:07Bobby Lee?

  No, it's too professional almost. Yeah, yeah, cause I remember you on Spilling It Together, you know, I was like, you're the lead of this thing, but you were also reading other things.

• 1:04:18Speaker 03

  I, I did too much.

• 1:04:20Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:04:20Speaker 03

  I did too much on that show. Diane, who played my older sister on that show, she got me aside and she said, you're doing too much. You're doing too many things. I was, I was.

• 1:04:30Bobby Lee?

  I could notice.

• 1:04:31Speaker 03

  My book was coming out. I was like reading another script. I was a mom to two little kids. I was like on the board of directors of a charity. And she said, let me tell you something, you only have to do one of these things.

• 1:04:42Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. Wow.

• 1:04:44Speaker 03

  You're doing too much. And then I, I like cried. I was like, I'm doing too much, Diane.

• 1:04:49Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:04:49Speaker 03

  I'm doing too many things.

• 1:04:50Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:04:51Speaker 03

  And that's why when that show got canceled, I took a very big, long break from acting.

• 1:04:56Bobby Lee?

  Good. You needed to.

• 1:04:57Speaker 03

  I did.

• 1:04:58Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:04:58Speaker 03

  I really did.

• 1:04:59Bobby Lee?

  Because one, I think one time you were like reading two or three scripts at one time.

• 1:05:02Speaker 03

  It was nuts.

• 1:05:03Bobby Lee?

  And I was sitting there and I'm like, and then you said some parable, I forgot what it was, but you know, the, the, the, the mouse that comes last, gets the last chip.

• 1:05:11Speaker 03

  I never said a parable. What are you talking about?

• 1:05:15Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I'm like, I don't get that parable.

• 1:05:17Speaker 03

  I don't speak in parable.

• 1:05:20Bobby Lee?

  You said something like that.

• 1:05:21Speaker 03

  I did?

• 1:05:21Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. The last, you know, may twinkle in every eye is the one that shines the least or something like that. And I'm like, I don't get that when it comes to like working this hard, but. I don't know why you did that, but you know, but you worked, you worked a lot.

• 1:05:36Speaker 03

  I, I worked too.

• 1:05:37Bobby Lee?

  Kevin Hart style.

• 1:05:38Speaker 03

  Oh.

• 1:05:39Speaker 00

  Yeah, man, that's hard.

• 1:05:41Speaker 03

  I was that bad?

• 1:05:44Bobby Lee?

  Uh oh, here we go.

• 1:05:45Speaker 03

  I worked that much?

• 1:05:47Bobby Lee?

  I don't wanna fight with you.

• 1:05:48Speaker 03

  No, no, I mean, he, no, no, he has like a well-known, like intense work ethic, like workaholic.

• 1:05:55Bobby Lee?

  Like Howie Mandel's like that where it's like just constantly working. And I don't see that now.

• 1:06:00Speaker 03

  No.

• 1:06:00Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, you're like completely different now.

• 1:06:02Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:06:02Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:06:03Speaker 03

  I'm so much happier.

• 1:06:04Bobby Lee?

  You seem happier.

• 1:06:05Speaker 03

  I am happier.

• 1:06:06Speaker 05

  But sometimes it seems like the, like Fred, do you feel like you need to be constantly working all the time? Cause I'm someone where I feel like if I'm, if I try to take a break from something, like taking like a few days off of stand-up, I feel like I lose my mind. You, I have.

• 1:06:18Speaker 04

  I like being busy with different projects.

• 1:06:20Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:06:21Speaker 04

  Like just keeping it all going.

• 1:06:23Speaker 05

  And do, is that apply to like music as well?

• 1:06:25Speaker 04

  Oh, yeah, definitely. If I see any downtime, I try to fill it with music gigs and stuff, as much as I can.

• 1:06:33Bobby Lee?

  I feel like you and I would have very similar musical tastes. Wow, does that?

• 1:06:36Speaker 04

  Hey.

• 1:06:37Bobby Lee?

  Hey, that's fucking amazing. Great leather jacket.

• 1:06:42Speaker 05

  At what point did you realize that you wanted to do comedy a little more than music? Or did that never really happen?

• 1:06:47Speaker 04

  No, I wanted to do both somehow. I wanted to.

• 1:06:50Bobby Lee?

  Oh, I got to do it again.

• 1:06:51Speaker 04

  I wanted to somehow do a version of getting to do music and comedy. And then I, I got to do it.

• 1:06:58Speaker 05

  Yeah, you totally did. Yeah, the drumming thing was great.

• 1:07:00Speaker 03

  I love comedy for drummers.

• 1:07:02Speaker 04

  Oh, thank you.

• 1:07:03Speaker 03

  And you know, my son Weston is a drummer.

• 1:07:05Speaker 04

  Yep.

• 1:07:06Speaker 03

  And watching him watch your special was, I mean, he was laughing so hard, like bent over, bent over at those jokes.

• 1:07:16Speaker 04

  That's so great.

• 1:07:17Speaker 03

  I know, so good.

• 1:07:18Speaker 04

  I think you've sent me a video of him drumming.

• 1:07:21Speaker 03

  I probably did.

• 1:07:22Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:07:23Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:07:23Bobby Lee?

  You've always had a Kaufman-esque vibe to you.

• 1:07:27Bobby Lee?

  Sorry for that. Oh, wait, that weird? That got weird. It's the way I said it.

• 1:07:32Speaker 04

  It was nice. I think anything is.

• 1:07:35Bobby Lee?

  No, I have a little photo of Andy Kaufman on my.

• 1:07:37Speaker 04

  Oh, you do?

• 1:07:38Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, dresser drawer, yeah. But you always symbolize that kind of spirit of comedy.

• 1:07:43Speaker 04

  Wow, thank you.

• 1:07:44Bobby Lee?

  Like almost a genius.

• 1:07:46Speaker 04

  Whoa, almost a genius.

• 1:07:49Speaker 00

  You're so close.

• 1:07:50Speaker 05

  Not quite there.

• 1:07:51Speaker 04

  That's okay, I'll take it.

• 1:07:52Bobby Lee?

  Like, no, you're there. No, you are a genius.

• 1:07:55Speaker 04

  That's very nice.

• 1:07:55Bobby Lee?

  You know what?

• 1:07:56Speaker 04

  That's very nice.

• 1:07:57Bobby Lee?

  I was, I pulled back a little bit.

• 1:07:59Speaker 04

  That's okay.

• 1:08:00Bobby Lee?

  You are a genius.

• 1:08:01Speaker 00

  You are a genius.

• 1:08:03Bobby Lee?

  You're a genius.

• 1:08:04Speaker 05

  Were people feeling that way when you were in like your early days of doing comedy? Where like, were you doing weird stuff on stage?

• 1:08:10Speaker 04

  Always, yeah.

• 1:08:11Speaker 05

  Were people fans of it? Or was it like?

• 1:08:13Speaker 04

  Well, no, no, it was kind of like some awkward silences.

• 1:08:16Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:08:16Speaker 04

  But then.

• 1:08:17Bobby Lee?

  That's what I meant by it.

• 1:08:18Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:08:18Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:08:19Speaker 04

  But I used it to my advantage. I was like, okay, this will be my thing. That this joke is not gonna work. And then SNL came around and then it worked for them.

• 1:08:31Speaker 05

  Wow.

• 1:08:32Speaker 04

  Cause it was like different characters and stuff, so.

• 1:08:34Bobby Lee?

  It worked for me.

• 1:08:35Speaker 04

  Lucky, lucky thing.

• 1:08:36Speaker 05

  Was there stuff that you did in your audition? I like hearing people's SNL audition stories, like what? Did you have one of those where it was like silent? Where people say like, no one laughed? Or was there stuff where you were like, oh, this just.

• 1:08:44Speaker 04

  Well, now I've had the luxury of watching a documentary about the auditions.

• 1:08:52Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:08:52Speaker 04

  And so I, now my memory is only what I saw in this video. Cause they showed me my audition.

• 1:09:00Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 1:09:00Speaker 04

  And there's Tina Fey laughing away.

• 1:09:03Speaker 05

  Wow.

• 1:09:04Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 1:09:04Speaker 04

  And Paula Pell and, I mean, I texted them right after. I'm like, you guys got me this job. Thank you so much for, they were laughing all the way through.

• 1:09:12Speaker 05

  Wow.

• 1:09:13Speaker 04

  I don't mean it like, I'm so funny. I just mean like, I heard, you know, my memory at the time was I just, just, you know, went through it like lightning. I was like, let me get this right. But then, yeah, they were.

• 1:09:26Bobby Lee?

  I mean, the prep work.

• 1:09:28Speaker 05

  Yeah, I can't imagine.

• 1:09:28Bobby Lee?

  You know, it's, it's like a lot, right?

• 1:09:31Speaker 04

  For an audition?

• 1:09:32Bobby Lee?

  For that audition, I think.

• 1:09:33Speaker 04

  Oh, yeah, I practiced over and over in my hotel, over and over.

• 1:09:37Speaker 05

  In your hotel? You weren't going to like open mics or something and trying to like?

• 1:09:41Speaker 04

  Oh, I mean, like before the actual thing. So yes, I was going to open my.

• 1:09:44Bobby Lee?

  Jenna, you could have done SNL.

• 1:09:46Speaker 03

  No.

  I think so.

• 1:09:47Bobby Lee?

  You couldn't have?

  Yes, you could have.

  I can't either, I got on one.

• 1:10:26Speaker 03

  Because someone, they said it.

• 1:10:27Speaker 05

  Got a couple accents, I think, in this show.

• 1:10:29Speaker 03

  They said it's a similar thing.

• 1:10:31Bobby Lee?

  My name is Tony McGogo.

• 1:10:33Speaker 05

  Oh, okay, I see.

• 1:10:34Bobby Lee?

  What we doing here?

• 1:10:35Speaker 03

  I can't even do that.

• 1:10:36Bobby Lee?

  You can't do that?

• 1:10:37Speaker 03

  No.

• 1:10:38Bobby Lee?

  Do that right now. Hey, how you doing? My name is Tony McGogo.

• 1:10:40Speaker 03

  Oh, hello, my name is Tony.

  Tony McGogo.

• 1:10:49Speaker 03

  I just need you there, you gotta coach me.

• 1:10:50Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, well, maybe it's a duo.

• 1:10:52Speaker 03

  Maybe it is. Can I say something? I'm gonna get, I'm, I just wanna bring it into this moment and I just wanna say, this is super genuine. I really love you guys and.

• 1:11:04Bobby Lee?

  You're leaving?

• 1:11:05Speaker 03

  No.

• 1:11:06Bobby Lee?

  Okay.

• 1:11:07Speaker 03

  No, like, this is a little bit of a pinch me moment for, for me. To sit in between you two, you're so funny and I look up to you both so much. And, um, like, one of my favorite things about where I have ended up in life is that I get to be around funny people all the time, all the fucking time. And I get to laugh and, and just, it's the, like, the best thing.

• 1:11:34Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:11:34Speaker 03

  Like, I get to sit here with you in real life. Do you know what a cool thing that is?

• 1:11:39Bobby Lee?

  It's so much better, in any ways.

• 1:11:41Speaker 04

  Yeah, I know what you mean and we feel the same.

• 1:11:43Bobby Lee?

  We feel the same.

• 1:11:43Speaker 05

  You're talking about Fred and Bobby, right? Or is it me and Bobby?

• 1:11:46Speaker 03

  Luke, I'm including you.

• 1:11:47Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 1:11:48Bobby Lee?

  Luke, you're never gonna see these people again.

• 1:11:49Speaker 05

  I just made sure.

• 1:11:50Bobby Lee?

  You fucked it up.

• 1:11:51Speaker 05

  What do you mean?

• 1:11:51Bobby Lee?

  This is, no, no, no, no, you fucked it up. This was your way in.

• 1:11:54Speaker 05

  I just wanted to clarify what, so I could tune into the conversation, the right thing, but it was.

• 1:11:59Speaker 04

  But it's, it's mutual and you're right, that feeling of getting to be around funny people, nothing like it.

• 1:12:05Speaker 03

  It's, it's my favorite thing about being an actor is being on a set and being around creative people who are being amazing and funny. It's, it's so great.

• 1:12:15Bobby Lee?

  Well, that's what Nimrod says.

• 1:12:17Speaker 03

  That's what it is.

• 1:12:17Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, that's exactly what it's, it's the new and the young.

• 1:12:20Speaker 03

  And you know what?

• 1:12:21Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:12:21Speaker 03

  The young cast in this is so good. And I am rooting for them to all just like blow up from this movie. Cause they all deserve it.

• 1:12:30Bobby Lee?

  Well, they're all in the trajectory of doing so anyway, right?

• 1:12:32Speaker 03

  They are.

• 1:12:32Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, they're like the hottest young guys and, you know, you work with them, some of them. Yeah, Mason.

• 1:12:39Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:12:39Bobby Lee?

  You know Mason?

• 1:12:40Speaker 03

  Mason Tames.

• 1:12:41Bobby Lee?

  You know Mason Tames?

• 1:12:42Speaker 05

  Uh huh.

• 1:12:42Bobby Lee?

  What have you, what's he been in?

• 1:12:43Speaker 05

  Uh, he's in a new movie that's coming out called Nimrod.

• 1:12:51Speaker 05

  He was in something I can't remember.

• 1:12:52Speaker 03

  He was in the, um.

• 1:12:53Bobby Lee?

  How to Train Your Dragon.

• 1:12:54Speaker 03

  The phone.

• 1:12:55Bobby Lee?

  Black Phone.

• 1:12:55Speaker 03

  Black Phone.

• 1:12:56Speaker 05

  Yes, yeah.

• 1:12:57Speaker 03

  Which is a great horror film.

• 1:12:58Speaker 05

  Yes, he was so great.

• 1:12:59Bobby Lee?

  Is this a scene or the trailer?

• 1:13:00Speaker 03

  That's, I think the trailer.

• 1:13:01Bobby Lee?

  Oh, cool.

• 1:13:02Speaker 00

  Looks really cool.

• 1:13:03Bobby Lee?

  It's cool.

• 1:13:03Speaker 05

  Yeah, I'm excited for this.

• 1:13:05Bobby Lee?

  And, um, the guys were really nice too. I mean, I love all three of those guys.

• 1:13:09Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:13:10Bobby Lee?

  And then, see, that's what I'm talking about.

• 1:13:12Speaker 04

  Do you mean Green Day? Or those guys? That was a real question.

• 1:13:18Speaker 00

  Actually, who were you talking?

• 1:13:19Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I don't know. But, uh, Dookie and America, okay, yeah.

• 1:13:23Speaker 03

  No, Keen Ruffalo and there's Ignacio.

• 1:13:26Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:13:27Speaker 03

  He's great.

• 1:13:28Bobby Lee?

  I love both those guys.

• 1:13:29Speaker 03

  Yep, they're great.

• 1:13:31Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I mean, Keen, there you are, that's amazing.

• 1:13:33Speaker 03

  And I don't know if it's because I played the mom in this movie and my house is kind of the hang house. You know, when you were a teenager, wasn't there always the house that you went to that house?

• 1:13:43Bobby Lee?

  Wait, what house was you, are you away or did we come to your house? Did we come to the Armbraces?

• 1:13:48Speaker 04

  No, we went to David Jacobs's house.

• 1:13:49Bobby Lee?

  Oh, you did, okay.

• 1:13:50Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 1:13:51Bobby Lee?

  What house did we go to in your neighborhood?

• 1:13:52Speaker 03

  We went to Ellen Grant's house.

• 1:13:54Bobby Lee?

  Oh.

• 1:13:54Speaker 03

  The Grants was the hang house.

• 1:13:56Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 1:13:56Speaker 03

  She was one of six and so you definitely wanted to hang at Ellen's house because they're just, there weren't, it wasn't possible to keep eyes.

• 1:14:03Bobby Lee?

  Best handling.

• 1:14:03Speaker 03

  Right.

• 1:14:04Bobby Lee?

  Because there was a bunch of kids in the family and they, they got to go in and out whenever they wanted.

• 1:14:08Speaker 03

  Right. They didn't know who was coming and who was going.

• 1:14:11Bobby Lee?

  Also, the parents are out of town for so long.

• 1:14:12Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 1:14:12Bobby Lee?

  Where are they going for how long?

• 1:14:14Speaker 03

  Ellen and I would just sneak in and out of her window.

• 1:14:16Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:14:17Speaker 03

  Do whatever we wanted at night.

• 1:14:18Bobby Lee?

  Do the drugs.

• 1:14:19Speaker 03

  We didn't do any drugs.

• 1:14:20Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:14:21Speaker 03

  But we made out with boys.

• 1:14:24Bobby Lee?

  I know. Yeah, yeah.

• 1:14:26Speaker 05

  Hey, boy.

• 1:14:27Speaker 03

  We made up. Yeah, um, but then in this movie, Jody is, she's the mom of the hang house. And I got very attached to all these boys who are actually young men. And so I have this like way that I feel still very motherly toward them and I keep my eye on them and I'm rooting for all of them.

• 1:14:51Bobby Lee?

  That's amazing.

• 1:14:52Speaker 04

  And what was your hair situation? Was that like, cause that looks like a real.

• 1:14:56Speaker 03

  Okay, so people have asked me if that's a wig. So Fred, I did this movie two weeks after I had my port removed after my cancer, uh, treatment. So that's my hair.

• 1:15:09Speaker 04

  Wow.

• 1:15:10Speaker 03

  But, um, so I had, I, so in my, in my cancer journey, um, I had, uh, I had to do surgery and chemotherapy and radiation. Then I had to do a year of immunotherapy, which is you still get infusions in your port for a year. And, um, Lee had been with me in the house during this whole year. We've talked about this. And, um, this movie is really special to me because as I would sit in one chair in the living room, sort of recovering from all of the various procedures, he was sitting in another chair in the living room, working on drafts of this movie.

• 1:15:49Speaker 03

  And then just about two months before I was finished, the movie got greenlit and he had to go to Oklahoma City. So I had to kind of finish out the last couple of months of my treatment as like a, a single mom to my kids and all that. And two weeks, I, before I shot this movie, I got my port removed. I had just finished the treatment and, um, and I just kind of brought all of that into this character.

• 1:16:17Speaker 03

  Just the, the, the weight of that year.

• 1:16:20Bobby Lee?

  I can't imagine.

• 1:16:21Speaker 03

  And all of that. But it was really special because we brought the kids to Oklahoma City. My daughter's actually in the movie. She plays, um, McKenna Grace's little sister Cassidy in the movie. And then my son plays a drummer in McKenna's band in the movie.

• 1:16:38Bobby Lee?

  Oh, that's fun.

• 1:16:39Speaker 03

  And they would sit and they watched on the monitors and I'll get a little emotional, but, um,

• 1:16:46Speaker 03

  it was, it was really special for me to take the experience of that year and put it into this character. I mean, not that she's been through cancer treatment, but she, uh, is a widow and there's a heaviness to her life as a single parent and all of those things. And, um, but for my kids to see me get up out of the chair and walk onto the set and do this movie and watch me on the monitors. It was, it was like,

• 1:17:13Speaker 03

  mom's gonna be okay.

• 1:17:14Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:17:14Speaker 03

  Right? You know, it's like, and, and we will, and we go on. So it was, um, it's really special. But yeah, it was, um, I was nervous to walk on set. I, I remember meeting with the hair and makeup people and being like, there's not a lot to work with. Not a lot of hair. And she was so sweet and she was like, I got you. And she said, let's brush it all forward and it, and I love it. I love how this woman looks.

• 1:17:40Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:17:41Speaker 03

  I love who she is. And, um, and yeah, so thank you for asking me about that.

• 1:17:46Bobby Lee?

  It looks great. It like really is the character.

• 1:17:48Speaker 03

  It is the character and I, and there's a part of me that feels like, but for that whole experience, I'm not sure I'm right for this role. Like, pre that experience, I'm not sure I had it.

• 1:18:04Speaker 03

  So it was only because of that, that I had it to give. And so that, that's also like, makes it meaningful and special too, you know? Cause some, I mean, that's all you, all you have as an actor is, like, I don't know, your imagination and your lived experiences. And there's only so much, I mean, unless you're like one of the greats, there's only so much you can imagine, you know, into a character. Like I just, I, I, I pull a lot, me personally as an actor, I pull a lot from my lived experience. And so, um, yeah, I was grateful to be able to do that here.

• 1:18:44Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, the, I mean, for me, the whole experience of seeing you and

• 1:18:49Bobby Lee?

  just being around it all, it's like, I don't know, it was a really special experience during the movie. Also, I feel the love from you guys too.

• 1:18:58Speaker 03

  Hmm.

• 1:18:58Bobby Lee?

  You know, and that feels good as well.

• 1:18:59Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:19:00Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, but, um, it was, I, I hope everyone watches it August 20,

• 1:19:05Speaker 00

  Fourteenth.

• 1:19:06Speaker 03

  August fourteenth.

• 1:19:07Speaker 00

  August twenty fourteen.

• 1:19:08Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, that, August fourteenth. And, um, watch, watch in the theaters.

• 1:19:16Speaker 00

  Please do.

• 1:19:17Bobby Lee?

  We gotta support comedy.

• 1:19:19Speaker 03

  I, yes, and we have to support movies in general. Cause we want more movies to get made.

• 1:19:23Bobby Lee?

  And don't pirate it. Yeah, don't pirate. I'm fucking a Napster.

• 1:19:28Speaker 00

  Napster.

• 1:19:29Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. Did you see, uh, Odyssey yet or no?

• 1:19:32Speaker 03

  Mm-mm.

• 1:19:33Bobby Lee?

  Why? We talked about it last week. You said you were gonna.

• 1:19:35Speaker 03

  I know.

• 1:19:36Bobby Lee?

  You didn't, did you?

• 1:19:37Speaker 03

  I,

• 1:19:38Speaker 00

  It's a three hour movie and she has kids.

• 1:19:40Bobby Lee?

  I haven't seen it.

• 1:19:40Speaker 00

  You haven't seen it?

• 1:19:41Bobby Lee?

  Oh, you're not seeing it?

• 1:19:42Speaker 03

  I went to buy a ticket and I couldn't, like the seven AM, you know, versus city walk was sold out.

• 1:19:48Speaker 00

  It's tough to get a seventy millimeter ticket.

• 1:19:50Speaker 03

  Yeah, and I wanna see it like.

• 1:19:52Bobby Lee?

  With the seventy millimeter, just watch the regular style now.

• 1:19:54Speaker 05

  I don't think you need it.

• 1:19:56Bobby Lee?

  I don't think you need it.

• 1:19:56Speaker 03

  I can watch it regular.

• 1:19:57Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, that's what I did.

• 1:19:58Speaker 05

  There's elevated things, like there's Dolby, which is like better sound and better picture and stuff, but I think you generally don't need it. It's just a really good, fun movie. It's well paced, it doesn't drag, it's, I didn't feel like you needed seventy millimeter IMAX.

• 1:20:10Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:20:11Speaker 05

  Better to see it, in my opinion. I'll see it again.

• 1:20:13Speaker 03

  Okay, but first go see Nimrods, everybody.

• 1:20:16Bobby Lee?

  No, watch Nimrods first.

• 1:20:17Speaker 03

  Why are we talking about the Odyssey?

• 1:20:19Speaker 00

  Nolan's fine.

• 1:20:20Speaker 05

  Yeah, while you're waiting for your ticket in six months for seventy millimeter IMAX, Odyssey, go to a movie that.

• 1:20:27Bobby Lee?

  You can't do both at the same time? I think you can. I think you can both, both watch it at the same time. Yeah.

• 1:20:32Speaker 03

  You could do a double feature.

• 1:20:33Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:20:33Speaker 00

  Watch Odyssey while watching this.

• 1:20:35Speaker 05

  Yeah. I'll see it August 11th for the early screenings. It's like theaters.

• 1:20:38Speaker 03

  Thank you very much.

• 1:20:39Bobby Lee?

  Okay, good. Are you gonna really watch it?

• 1:20:41Speaker 05

  Yeah, why, how could I not?

  You find it or no?

• 1:21:40Speaker 00

  You can't even find it?

• 1:21:40Bobby Lee?

  You can't even find it, right?

• 1:21:41Speaker 05

  Okay, good, good.

• 1:21:42Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:21:44Speaker 05

  That's what's nice about stuff coming out on cable television now for people like me is when you don't do very well, it's impossible to find. It kinda goes away forever.

• 1:21:52Bobby Lee?

  Oh, everything's like that, it's great. Yeah. Oh, you like it that way?

• 1:21:55Speaker 05

  I don't know.

• 1:21:55Bobby Lee?

  I love it. Yeah. Cause it makes it temporary. It's like a newspaper. Yeah. You just, so if something's not great, fine. Yeah. Move on.

• 1:22:04Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:22:04Speaker 00

  And before we go, you lied to Fred earlier. You said you weren't part of a music institution. Bobby was in a band called Lax and Superb and he played the piano.

• 1:22:11Speaker 05

  Wow.

• 1:22:12Speaker 03

  Hey!

• 1:22:13Speaker 00

  You're a liar, you also do music.

• 1:22:14Bobby Lee?

  Bobby. Uh, yeah, I was in the Psychedelic. Why? Yeah. Because it's not, the level of yours, you can't look up Lax and Superb and you have the ca, you know, it doesn't show you who's in the band. You're in a band, you're playing keyboard. By the way, I can play keyboard. Look at that. How long ago?

• 1:22:29Bobby Lee?

  When is this from? I used to be in a band in the late nineteen eighties. That's, but that video's from the late eighties? Yeah. That's the third one that happened.

• 1:22:39Speaker 05

  The first video ever.

• 1:22:40Speaker 03

  What is this shot on?

• 1:22:42Bobby Lee?

  I know.

• 1:22:43Speaker 05

  Unbelievable.

• 1:22:44Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. Watercolor?

• 1:22:47Bobby Lee?

  It's like animated watercolor.

• 1:22:50Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, it's, it's, yeah. We didn't have the technology. This is in San Diego somewhere? Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty bad, but anyway, um. Where, where did we play in San Diego? What was the one main, like, alternative? Oh, yeah, um, you played at the, um. I forgot the name. We took me there too. Sorry. No, I like it. Nobody asked about my, why my head is shaved?

• 1:23:15Speaker 05

  I was thinking it, but I thought.

• 1:23:16Speaker 03

  Why is your head shaved?

• 1:23:18Bobby Lee?

  Right now? For work, for a role. Right now? I just finished. I didn't, I didn't finish, we have some more to do. What was it? But I wasn't fishing, I wasn't fishing for like, ask me about work, I, but I was a little bit like, wow, no one.

• 1:23:31Speaker 03

  I just thought it was something you were doing.

• 1:23:33Speaker 05

  Yeah, exactly.

• 1:23:34Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 1:23:34Speaker 03

  I just thought it was, I thought it was for you personally.

• 1:23:37Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. Um, I don't mind it.

• 1:23:39Speaker 03

  Have you ever done it before and how do you feel about it?

• 1:23:41Bobby Lee?

  Um, I've done it during my band days.

• 1:23:44Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 1:23:45Bobby Lee?

  Where the whole band, we'd all shave our heads.

• 1:23:46Speaker 03

  Uh-huh.

• 1:23:47Bobby Lee?

  Um, but I, the way I feel about it is, I think about it more than other people do. Meaning like, I'm like, I, I think it's like a big deal.

• 1:23:55Speaker 03

  Uh-huh.

• 1:23:55Bobby Lee?

  And then people are like, oh no, we have our own lives.

• 1:23:58Speaker 03

  Right.

• 1:23:59Bobby Lee?

  So, yeah, you look, I, I guess your hair looks shorter, but.

• 1:24:02Speaker 05

  I was thinking about it kind of a lot, honestly. But that's just me.

• 1:24:07Bobby Lee?

  That's okay.

• 1:24:07Speaker 05

  You have a good head shape, I kinda have a good view of it. You have a good head.

• 1:24:10Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:24:11Speaker 05

  It's very short.

• 1:24:13Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:24:13Speaker 05

  It's good for the summer. But so what's the role where you had to shave your?

• 1:24:16Bobby Lee?

  That one right there.

• 1:24:20Speaker 05

  What?

• 1:24:22Bobby Lee?

  It's that one right there, yeah, yeah.

• 1:24:24Speaker 05

  Well, it's good, it looks good.

• 1:24:26Bobby Lee?

  That's you in Wednesday, right? Yeah. Yeah. We shoot it in, in Ireland. Is it a new, is our new Wednesday is you're, you're shooting? Like in the, the next season. You're, that's what you're doing? Yeah. Okay, big show. Yeah. Huge.

• 1:24:38Speaker 03

  But, so did you ever at first like opt for just a bald cap and then decided to shave it?

• 1:24:44Bobby Lee?

  I insisted on shaving it.

• 1:24:46Speaker 03

  You did?

• 1:24:47Bobby Lee?

  Bald caps are.

• 1:24:48Speaker 03

  Well, they take a very long time.

• 1:24:50Bobby Lee?

  Really long time. And they're hard to keep up and.

• 1:24:52Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 1:24:54Bobby Lee?

  They look, and it's also they're very stiff. So if you're wearing one, it's hard to like move it. This was just easier.

• 1:25:01Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:25:02Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, also with the super El Nino heat. That's right. Yeah, we're in a super El Nino. Yeah, we are. Yeah. And anyone that denying it right now, open your eyes.

• 1:25:11Speaker 03

  Who's denying that?

• 1:25:12Bobby Lee?

  The people are, people are denying.

• 1:25:13Speaker 03

  People are denying?

• 1:25:14Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, people are, this is just a natural weather pattern. I've never seen this before. Wait, there was, there was one of those makeup things. Oh, really? In fast motion.

• 1:25:23Speaker 00

  Over your wife.

• 1:25:23Bobby Lee?

  All right, let's do it again.

• 1:25:25Speaker 00

  How many hours is this?

• 1:25:26Bobby Lee?

  How many hours?

  Show up bald, which is very funny.

• 1:25:28Speaker 00

  Yeah, you do show up.

• 1:25:29Bobby Lee?

  But aren't these funny in general? Yeah, they are, yeah. Wow.

• 1:25:34Speaker 05

  It'd be funny to do one of these and then just nothing changes. It's just everyone touching your face.

• 1:25:37Bobby Lee?

  I wanna do, I wanna do a live one. That's funny, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, we should do one.

• 1:25:44Speaker 05

  On a live sketch show, that'd be good.

• 1:25:46Bobby Lee?

  Just, that would be annoying for, is that your camera shooting or is it that? No, no. Yeah, yeah. I hate when they do little tricks like that. Yeah, hold on.

• 1:25:53Speaker 03

  Yeah, he's got a pit bull.

• 1:29:42Speaker 05

  You know what?

• 1:29:43Speaker 00

  What?

• 1:29:43Speaker 05

  I did see pop up, you did an interview about being on this podcast. I didn't know you were getting interviews now. That's pretty- Well, it was for about four people. Also, there was a guy who had me uh, sign his $2 bill at the Comedy Store.

• 1:29:53Speaker 00

  Fame dude.

• 1:29:55Speaker 05

  He was like, dude, oh my god, Luke. I thought he was shitting on me.

• 1:29:58Bobby Lee?

  Is that from Tiger Belly?

• 1:29:58Speaker 05

  Yeah, from Tiger Belly. I thought he was making fun of me.

• 1:29:59Bobby Lee?

  I've given you everything.

• 1:30:01Speaker 00

  It has begun.

• 1:30:01Speaker 05

  It was, it was cool.

• 1:30:02Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I've given you my blood dick.

• 1:30:04Speaker 05

  It was cool. Thank you for the blood dick.

• 1:30:06Bobby Lee?

  Draw it more of it.

• 1:30:07Speaker 05

  Yeah, well, you know, it was supposed to be an interview, they, these guys came to the Comedy Store and they're like, we wanna have you on our podcast, cause we, you know, liked y- your performance. And I was like, oh, cool. And then I ended up doing the record, the podcast, and all they did was ask me about being on Tiger Belly and I was like, yeah, I thought it was, I thought it was-

• 1:30:23Bobby Lee?

  You're, you're very ungrateful.

• 1:30:26Speaker 05

  I'm very grateful, I'm very grateful.

• 1:30:28Bobby Lee?

  And you're a piece of shit.

• 1:30:29Speaker 05

  You've got, okay.

• 1:30:30Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, so those are the two facts.

• 1:30:32Speaker 05

  I'm very grateful, it's very scary.

• 1:30:33Speaker 00

  Special treatment at the Comedy Store?

• 1:30:35Bobby Lee?

  No, he's been very like, like we're friendly.

• 1:30:37Speaker 05

  Huh?

• 1:30:38Bobby Lee?

  You talk to me like we're friendly.

• 1:30:39Speaker 05

  We are friendly, are we not? I feel like we were, we were friendly before also, though.

• 1:30:44Bobby Lee?

  Not, less so now.

• 1:30:45Speaker 05

  Less friendly now.

• 1:30:46Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I get to, the more I get to know you.

• 1:30:49Speaker 05

  It's friendly, the more you get to know me.

• 1:30:50Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:30:51Speaker 05

  I understand that, you know.

• 1:30:52Bobby Lee?

  But you know, you're a good kid, you have a future.

• 1:30:54Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 1:30:55Bobby Lee?

  And I'm very excited for you.

• 1:30:56Speaker 05

  Thank you, I appreciate that.

• 1:30:58Bobby Lee?

  But, you know, check your fucking ego at the door.

• 1:31:01Speaker 05

  Why, for being friendly to you? I shouldn't have been friendly?

• 1:31:03Bobby Lee?

  Like a hat. Put it like, get in the room, put it like a hat.

• 1:31:06Speaker 05

  Okay, I'll put it like a hat?

• 1:31:07Bobby Lee?

  Right now, right now. Put your hat at the door.

• 1:31:13Bobby Lee?

  It's right there. Yeah, exactly.

• 1:31:15Speaker 00

  There's the ego.

• 1:31:15Bobby Lee?

  There's the ego hat. And now-

• 1:31:19Speaker 05

  I think it would help if I had a bigger ego. Cause I think you would be able to handle stuff like this better.

• 1:31:24Bobby Lee?

  Put the hat back on. I think you're right. I think you're right, put it back on.

• 1:31:30Speaker 05

  I, I think big egos handle like a lot of these opportunities very well.

• 1:31:34Bobby Lee?

  Oh my god, everything you say is annoying.

• 1:31:36Speaker 05

  Is that wrong? Is that wrong?

• 1:31:38Bobby Lee?

  It's not right.

• 1:31:39Speaker 00

  We don't know what it is.

• 1:31:40Speaker 05

  These guys at the Comedy Store are like, oh, Tiger Belly, and I'm like, oh, what, you're like making fun of me? I assume that they're making fun of me and shitting on me, all the comments, people yelling at me. I'm like, oh god.

• 1:31:50Speaker 00

  Do other doormen look at you? Kind of with some side eye?

• 1:31:53Speaker 05

  No, they all look down on me forever. I will never be allowed to have a big ego there. I get shit on there so much.

• 1:31:59Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, people bully him.

• 1:32:01Speaker 05

  There was a guy, one of my friends I brought to the Comedy Store, he was like, yo, you and, you and Bobby, I was like, yeah, yeah. He was like, he slapped you in the face. And I was like, oh yeah, I forgot about that. Do a lot of people hate you there? I'm like, honestly, yeah, but like, that's kinda-

• 1:32:14Bobby Lee?

  I never slapped you in the face, that's insane.

• 1:32:15Speaker 00

  That's a crazy thing.

• 1:32:16Speaker 05

  Okay, cut that out, I guess.

• 1:32:17Bobby Lee?

  No, don't cut it out, did I do that?

• 1:32:18Speaker 05

  Yeah, but it's fine, it was funny.

• 1:32:21Bobby Lee?

  Why would I do that?

• 1:32:22Speaker 05

  Uh, I was like-

• 1:32:23Bobby Lee?

  Did you harm me in any way?

• 1:32:24Speaker 05

  No, I was like facing the other way, talking to someone, and then I turned around, then he slapped me in the face.

• 1:32:28Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, but that's what arms do.

• 1:32:30Speaker 05

  That's what what?

• 1:32:31Bobby Lee?

  Arms do.

• 1:32:31Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:32:33Bobby Lee?

  Now you've never flared your arms?

• 1:32:34Speaker 05

  No, I'm not holding it against you, I'm just saying.

• 1:32:36Speaker 00

  Lower your ego to understand how arms work.

• 1:32:38Bobby Lee?

  It was like, oh, no!

• 1:32:39Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:32:40Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean? Back in your face.

• 1:32:41Speaker 05

  It was an accident.

• 1:32:42Bobby Lee?

  It was a complete accident. And for you to say that it was a purposeless act, not my pers- parse, part, sorry. I can't even speak today, I'm so angry.

• 1:32:51Speaker 05

  Take a breath.

• 1:32:52Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. Are you here yet, these people, or no? I'm kinda nervous, I think probably the more, most nervous I've ever been.

• 1:32:58Speaker 00

  I think you're nervous, is it because of Jenna or you two?

• 1:33:00Bobby Lee?

  It's both.

• 1:33:01Speaker 00

  Really?

• 1:33:01Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:33:02Speaker 00

  I think you and Fred would vibe.

• 1:33:03Bobby Lee?

  Jenna and I are closer than Fred, what are you talking about?

• 1:33:06Speaker 00

  Can we bring up the Candy Crush thing? Are you gonna bring it up?

• 1:33:08Bobby Lee?

  We already brought, we already talked about it on hers.

• 1:33:10Speaker 00

  Oh, really? Okay.

• 1:33:11Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I could talk about it again. She's never done this.

• 1:33:13Speaker 00

  No, you, look, you should ask about it.

• 1:33:15Bobby Lee?

  Okay.

• 1:33:16Speaker 00

  Just be like, I heard that uh, you and Bobby had an altercation.

• 1:33:18Speaker 05

  Yeah, I have that written here, it says Candy Crush.

• 1:33:22Speaker 00

  Great.

• 1:33:23Speaker 05

  Prepare for that. I'm gonna shoot that right at you.

• 1:33:26Speaker 00

  Confident, he's definitely confident.

• 1:33:28Bobby Lee?

  You won't get physically distressed. Cause I'll distress you right now.

• 1:33:32Speaker 05

  No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. But yeah, I'm pretty low ranking at the Comedy Store, I think I might, might be the, like, I don't, I can't imagine-
