  It's the Beatles.

  Yeah, can you sing it? No, it's John Lennon.

• 1:38Speaker 02

  Kind of like the Beatles.

• 1:43Speaker 02

  The sunshine's gonna come out.

• 1:51Speaker 02

  I know the tune, but...

• 1:54Bobby Lee?

  What?

• 1:55Speaker 02

  I know the tune, like the melody.

• 2:05Speaker 02

  I give up.

• 2:07Speaker 02

  Something with sunshine.

• 2:08Bobby Lee?

  There's no sunshine in the lyrics.

• 2:09Speaker 00

  Not this one.

• 2:17Speaker 02

  Yoko and John Lennon.

• 2:20Bobby Lee?

  What?

• 2:21Speaker 02

  Didn't he marry Yoko or something?

• 2:22Bobby Lee?

  It's called Imagine.

• 2:23Speaker 02

  Oh. Imagine there's no hyena.

• 2:32Bobby Lee?

  Lots of beans around.

• 2:39Speaker 02

  I don't eat beans at all.

• 2:41Bobby Lee?

  Dude chili dude what?

• 2:43Speaker 02

  You haven't ate it. Can you make it right now? I'm kinda in a mood for it. I haven't ate so.

• 2:49Bobby Lee?

  What are you thinking about right now dude? Your eyes went crazy just now.

• 2:52Speaker 00

  Because when he said, "I don't eat beans," I'm pretty sure he eats beans.

• 2:56Bobby Lee?

  Yeah dude.

• 2:57Speaker 02

  I eat beans but like not on the. You do eat beans. You admit that you eat beans. I eat beans but not on a daily basis that you think.

• 3:05Bobby Lee?

  Dude if you died in an alien race, autopsied your body, they would open you up and then went and went, "Oh this guy's made of all beans."

• 3:12Speaker 02

  And Hot Pockets.

• 3:14Bobby Lee?

  You eat Hot Pockets too? What kind?

• 3:16Speaker 02

  Pepperoni garlic bread.

• 3:18Bobby Lee?

  Dude you gotta change your diet up dude.

• 3:21Speaker 02

  Well I can't have.

• 3:22Bobby Lee?

  You can't afford the other stuff?

• 3:24Speaker 02

  I mean I eat Korean barbecue like I said before. But.

• 3:27Bobby Lee?

  You never said that before.

• 3:30Bobby Lee?

  I've never heard you say that before.

• 3:31Speaker 02

  Korean barbecue?

• 3:32Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 3:32Speaker 02

  Yes I have right?

  Was Gaffigan in this house?

• 3:38Speaker 03

  Yup.

• 3:39Bobby Lee?

  But in here?

• 3:40Speaker 02

  Older, like a old center.

• 3:41Bobby Lee?

  Oh, when we were separated, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 3:42Speaker 03

  Yeah, like the long ago.

• 3:44Bobby Lee?

  Was there a table or no?

• 3:45Speaker 03

  No, this was pre-table or yeah before.

• 3:47Bobby Lee?

  Or was there a screen?

• 3:51Speaker 02

  You know when I first saw him.

• 3:56Speaker 02

  I thought he was Andy Richter from Tony.

• 3:59Speaker 04

  Yeah, tell him.

• 4:01Bobby Lee?

  Please don't tell him that.

• 4:02Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 4:18Speaker 02

  Okay, I know that one.

• 4:20Bobby Lee?

  Go, go, go, go.

• 4:21Speaker 02

  Let it be.

• 4:23Speaker 04

  Nope.

• 4:23Speaker 02

  Oh, let it be, okay.

  Nice to meet you, Jim.

  He's just an immigrant, doing his thing.

• 5:48Speaker 04

  Classic.

• 5:49Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, breathing in and out, surviving.

• 5:51Speaker 05

  Thank God there's that white guy.

• 5:54Bobby Lee?

  I know. So, are you ready? Five, four, three, two, one. Welcome to another episode of Taco Bell. I am your host, Booboo Lou. And, um, guys, um, God, I'm so excited today because, um, you know, um, I have to apologize to you, Mr. Gaffigan, because the last time you were here, yeah, I almost have three years sober.

• 6:24Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 6:24Bobby Lee?

  And when you were here, I was drugged out of my mind.

• 6:27Speaker 05

  Drugged, really?

• 6:28Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, and then remember afterwards, I was like, oh, because I, you know, because I wanted, I wanted to have you for so long, and I just felt so fucking guilty.

• 6:37Speaker 05

  No.

• 6:38Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, because I, I just, I wasn't, I didn't remember, I couldn't think of any, I just felt like I was stuck. And I, so for almost three years, I've been carrying around this remorse. So I want to apologize.

• 6:52Speaker 05

  Well, you know, I understand, um, and I do not accept your apology.

• 6:57Bobby Lee?

  That's fine.

• 6:59Speaker 05

  I, I think you should go back to drinking.

• 7:01Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 7:02Speaker 05

  Or whatever you were doing. Look at me, I look like I ate an old man.

• 7:06Bobby Lee?

  I know. And look at me, I look like just one yellow thumb.

• 7:11Speaker 05

  So, so you were like, do you not want to talk about it? Or were you, uh?

• 7:16Bobby Lee?

  What?

• 7:16Speaker 05

  What were you, what were you high on?

• 7:20Bobby Lee?

  Just weed and drinking, but I did it so frequently, like I would do it 24 hours a day, so I was just never like present.

• 7:26Speaker 05

  And so how do you drive down that road? Or how did you drive down?

• 7:30Bobby Lee?

  I barely made it every time. I remember one time I was, um, vomiting. I think, I had the, the door open and I was driving vomiting out the door because I was so drunk.

• 7:40Speaker 05

  That's, that's like, that's another hurdle.

• 7:42Bobby Lee?

  That's very good. You alcoholic. Welcome back to the show. You're welcome back. So, and I saw you in New York.

• 7:50Speaker 05

  I know.

• 7:50Bobby Lee?

  And we took a little photo at the Hularity.

• 7:53Speaker 05

  Hularity.

• 7:53Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, and, um.

• 7:55Speaker 05

  Bill Burr doesn't like that term, hilarity.

• 7:57Bobby Lee?

  He complained to me about that two nights ago.

• 7:59Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 8:00Bobby Lee?

  He does not like it. It's just stupid. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, come on. Yeah. It's hilarious. Yeah, and um, he also didn't like the party. It was stupid. It's so dead on.

• 8:17Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, um, but you, your special is already out.

• 8:21Speaker 05

  Yes, it is out. Thanks for watching it.

• 8:23Bobby Lee?

  You're so good.

• 8:24Speaker 05

  Uh, no, you didn't watch it.

• 8:25Bobby Lee?

  I love it. No, well, it's like. What's it called?

• 8:28Speaker 05

  It's called The Skinny.

• 8:29Bobby Lee?

  The Skinny.

• 8:30Speaker 05

  It's called The Skinny.

• 8:32Bobby Lee?

  And, um, what, so you were at Netflix and you just kind of decided to move over?

• 8:37Speaker 05

  I, I'm a very nomadic.

• 8:41Speaker 05

  Being.

• 8:41Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 8:42Speaker 05

  And, uh, it's like any comedian, someone offered me more, so I went.

• 8:48Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 8:48Speaker 05

  But aren't you at Hulu too?

• 8:51Bobby Lee?

  I do have Hulu.

• 8:52Speaker 05

  Oh.

• 8:52Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, well, I had never had done one.

• 8:55Speaker 05

  Oh, you had never done a special?

• 8:56Bobby Lee?

  No.

• 8:57Speaker 05

  Oh, my God, that's.

• 8:58Bobby Lee?

  And for years, everyone was like, do one, why?

• 9:01Speaker 05

  You didn't want it.

• 9:02Bobby Lee?

  I didn't want to do it because I don't want to write new material.

• 9:05Speaker 05

  Yeah, but.

• 9:07Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean?

• 9:07Speaker 05

  Bobby.

• 9:08Bobby Lee?

  And I'm forcing myself to do it.

• 9:09Speaker 05

  It's an abundant universe.

• 9:11Bobby Lee?

  I know, dude.

• 9:12Speaker 05

  You gotta understand.

• 9:13Bobby Lee?

  I know, but I want to work harder.

• 9:15Speaker 05

  Or it's not, or it's the end of your life. But anyway, it's one of those things.

• 9:21Bobby Lee?

  But yeah, I, I decide, they were like, here's, I mean, can you, okay, I'm going to ask you something. Don't you want to feel wanted?

• 9:28Speaker 05

  Don't you want to feel wanted?

• 9:30Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 9:31Speaker 05

  Yeah, I think everyone does.

• 9:32Bobby Lee?

  And they made me feel wanted.

• 9:34Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 9:34Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean? And the other companies, I don't want to name it, me.

• 9:39Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 9:39Bobby Lee?

  But they did not make me feel, like I had to jump through hoops.

• 9:42Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 9:43Bobby Lee?

  And then I was just like, I don't want to do it then.

• 9:45Speaker 05

  Yeah, no, it's, it's the arc of the authority of these companies, right? Where like 10 years ago, a different company would have been like, you know, shining our shoes or, or doing anything. But once it gets to a point where they have the power, then they're, they're not nice. Well, cuz they care about money.

• 10:08Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 10:09Speaker 05

  Which is like, in a way, if we can kinda remove our mo- I think that's what's so unfair is like, creative people, we're supposed to remove our emotion when it comes to the business stuff.

• 10:20Bobby Lee?

  Hmm.

• 10:21Speaker 05

  And that's hard because like, taking things personally is what supposedly makes us creative people. You know what I mean?

• 10:29Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, but it's also, well, I mean, thirty years I've been just, you know, in the business and it's like, I, I, I got so many no's for the first fifteen or twenty.

• 10:39Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 10:40Bobby Lee?

  Right? And just like, I never went to Montreal.

• 10:43Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 10:44Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean? I never, you know, I auditioned for all those things.

• 10:47Speaker 05

  Oh, yeah.

• 10:47Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean? Like new faces and stuff. And then it just gets to a point where it's like, you know, I built this thing and just for once, I don't wanna jump again.

• 10:55Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 10:56Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean? And that's all basically what it is. But anyway, I'm so excited to do one. It's my first one. Hey, golly gee, it's gonna be great, I think.

• 11:03Speaker 05

  It'll be a great challenge.

• 11:04Bobby Lee?

  Thank you.

• 11:05Speaker 05

  It'll be a great challenge.

• 11:06Bobby Lee?

  Thank you. I'm just not working on like where I wanna do it and like the name of it and also like what it's gonna look like, you know?

• 11:12Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 11:13Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 11:13Speaker 05

  Yeah. So where are you gonna do it?

• 11:15Bobby Lee?

  I don't know, yeah.

• 11:17Speaker 05

  Well, you, you should shoot-

• 11:19Bobby Lee?

  Here's what I do wanna-

• 11:19Speaker 05

  -two shows in one night.

• 11:20Bobby Lee?

  I'm gonna do, I wanna try to do four.

• 11:22Speaker 05

  Good, good.

• 11:22Bobby Lee?

  But here's what I wanna do, Jim.

• 11:24Speaker 05

  What do you wanna do? Tell me. You're gonna, I feel like you're gonna tell me. Go ahead.

• 11:30Speaker 05

  Don't let me stop you.

• 11:30Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 11:31Speaker 05

  Go ahead, tell me.

• 11:31Bobby Lee?

  Jim.

• 11:32Speaker 05

  Here's what you're gonna do. What are you gonna do?

• 11:36Bobby Lee?

  Here's what I'm not gonna-

• 11:36Speaker 05

  Wait, are you gonna tell me?

• 11:38Bobby Lee?

  I may not.

• 11:39Speaker 05

  Okay, no.

• 11:39Bobby Lee?

  I kinda don't, no, I, I, I want it to be, uh, I wanna be sweaty.

• 11:45Speaker 05

  You wanna be sweaty?

• 11:46Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, because when you see, um, when you see specials, it's so, you know, everyone just, they make up it, right? And it's like,

• 11:54Bobby Lee?

  sorry.

• 11:55Speaker 05

  No, you know, by-

• 11:57Bobby Lee?

  Sorry, sorry, sorry.

• 11:58Speaker 05

  So I was in a- Uh, diner in New York.

• 12:02Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 12:03Speaker 05

  Like Friday, I had to pick up my daughter. And of course, my wife, there was a minor sniff of like, she had basketball practice. So I had to kill time for like an hour and a half. So I went in this Mexican restaurant.

• 12:17Bobby Lee?

  Ooh.

• 12:17Speaker 05

  And I'm sitting there eating rice and beans, cause that's what I like to do.

• 12:20Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 12:21Speaker 05

  And, right? And so then, uh, so then, um, at one point, it's a very tiny, it's like, you know, very tiny shop, right? And so then, one time, the guy on the cashier, he, they have a playlist, right? Where you can play music. And they also have a TV. And at one point, he was kind of fiddling with it.

• 12:42Bobby Lee?

  Hmm.

• 12:43Speaker 05

  And he started to play my special. And I was like, oh, oh.

• 12:47Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 12:48Speaker 05

  I go, did I just imagine? Cause I had headphones on.

• 12:50Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 12:51Speaker 05

  I go, he goes, he goes, sorry, sorry. Uh, I thought it might be you, but in the special, you look so much younger.

• 12:58Bobby Lee?

  You said that?

• 12:59Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 12:59Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 13:01Speaker 05

  He was, I mean, he said it in, in a way where he wasn't trying to be mean. He was just like, that's why I needed to look at the special. And he, of course, he hadn't seen the special.

• 13:11Bobby Lee?

  Right.

• 13:11Speaker 05

  He's seen a clip on the internet. You know what I mean?

• 13:13Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 13:14Speaker 05

  But I like that, that authentic thing.

• 13:16Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I mean, I, um.

• 13:18Speaker 05

  Why don't you do it at the Purple Onion?

• 13:20Bobby Lee?

  Is that good?

• 13:21Speaker 05

  I think that's.

• 13:22Bobby Lee?

  Where's the Purple Onion at? LA?

• 13:24Speaker 05

  San Francisco.

• 13:25Bobby Lee?

  San Francisco.

• 13:26Speaker 05

  There's got a lot of, uh, history and nostalgia there and kind of, I think Zach did a special there.

• 13:33Bobby Lee?

  Oh yeah, he did his special. Yeah, I saw, yeah, that's a great special.

• 13:36Speaker 05

  So it's a, it's a kind of the antithesis of, uh, the, the semi gloss.

• 13:43Bobby Lee?

  Right, right. But like, I, you know, also like, I saw, like, when I was a kid, I saw a Dana Gould special when he was super young.

• 13:51Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 13:52Bobby Lee?

  And I just remember him being super sweaty.

• 13:55Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 13:55Bobby Lee?

  And I responded to it like, oh, he's working hard.

• 13:58Speaker 05

  Oh, that's so funny. Well, you know, also sweat, there's flop sweat, right?

• 14:03Bobby Lee?

  Hmm.

• 14:05Speaker 05

  But like, so do you, are you a sweater when you perform?

• 14:08Bobby Lee?

  I do. I sweat, yeah. I, I'm like, um, I still don't even know, I don't.

• 14:13Speaker 05

  Why don't you call it sweaty?

• 14:15Bobby Lee?

  Dude, that's it.

• 14:16Speaker 05

  Right?

• 14:17Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, sweaty and be sweaty.

• 14:19Speaker 05

  And I think you should make, well, this is all against the better judgment, you know, because you want the audience to be cold, but if you want them to be warm, then, then they're uncomfortable. If they're sweaty.

• 14:33Bobby Lee?

  Oh, the whole thing is sweaty.

• 14:35Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 14:36Bobby Lee?

  Oh, that'd be great. So you know how they say it has to be cold?

• 14:39Speaker 05

  No, here's what you do.

• 14:40Bobby Lee?

  You heat, you put a so.

• 14:41Speaker 05

  You, you do Bobby Lee.

• 14:44Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 14:44Speaker 05

  Live from the Purple Onion.

• 14:46Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 14:46Speaker 05

  No air conditioning.

• 14:49Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. No air conditioning.

• 14:51Speaker 05

  No air conditioning.

• 14:52Bobby Lee?

  Live at the.

• 14:52Speaker 05

  And you, you let that know. There's no air conditioning. So like when people go, hey, there's no air conditioning. When I was promoting it.

• 15:00Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 15:00Speaker 05

  On my podcast.

• 15:01Bobby Lee?

  Right.

• 15:02Speaker 05

  And then name created by Jim Gaffigan.

• 15:06Bobby Lee?

  You know, I'll give you credit.

• 15:07Speaker 05

  You know, I'll be, I'll be, I'll be like an associate junior producer.

• 15:12Bobby Lee?

  Okay, okay, okay.

• 15:13Speaker 05

  Right?

• 15:13Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, if I use it, I will. I won't, but I will. You know what I mean?

• 15:17Speaker 05

  Yeah, because it's gonna, it's, it's, it's your one special. You gotta digest it.

• 15:21Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 15:22Speaker 05

  And live with it. But I like the sweaty idea of like, it's very loose and, and, uh, but you're gonna do all four because you're gonna do a lot of playing, right?

• 15:33Bobby Lee?

  What does that mean?

• 15:34Speaker 05

  I don't know. What do you think play?

• 15:37Speaker 05

  What is this, your first?

• 15:38Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. My first down the dump.

• 15:40Speaker 05

  What do you mean by play? I was never a child. I was never in a.

• 15:44Bobby Lee?

  Oh, you're like fucking around.

• 15:45Speaker 05

  I don't want to curse because Jesus is listening.

• 15:48Bobby Lee?

  All right, all right. Yeah, I, I'm gonna do a lot of messing around. Yeah.

• 15:51Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 15:51Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. I want to go into the audience and see what happens.

• 15:55Speaker 05

  Yeah, that sounds great.

• 15:56Bobby Lee?

  Let me ask you something. So, um, you know, um, I wanted to see what you would have done in this situation. I was at the cellar. We were doing the, right?

• 16:05Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 16:05Bobby Lee?

  I did the, the Village Underground.

• 16:08Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 16:08Bobby Lee?

  And in my head, I'm like, oh, well, I'm gonna go over to that, the original cellar and go to that restaurant and go to that back table.

• 16:15Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 16:15Bobby Lee?

  You know, the back table?

• 16:16Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 16:17Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. So I go to the back table. I go there and I see Marc Maron there.

• 16:21Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 16:21Bobby Lee?

  Right? And I go, I know Marc. We're good friends.

• 16:25Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 16:26Bobby Lee?

  And I get to the table and it's Louis CK and Chris Rock there too.

• 16:29Speaker 05

  When is this?

• 16:30Bobby Lee?

  This is the day after hilarity.

• 16:33Speaker 05

  Wow.

• 16:33Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. And then I, Mark looks at me and he goes, and I went to the bar.

• 16:40Speaker 05

  Well, wait a minute, that might have been, that might have been, I think that, I mean, the history of Mark would tell you that he's being not nice, but like,

• 16:50Speaker 05

  but I feel like Mark has done, he's evolved so much.

• 16:54Bobby Lee?

  He's so.

• 16:55Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 16:55Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 16:56Speaker 05

  I would guess that he's like, there's a very awkward conversation that you shouldn't interject.

• 17:02Bobby Lee?

  Also, I think I'm misinterpreting his face. In my mind, he was going like this, but he could have been going, hi.

• 17:11Speaker 05

  Uh, yeah, no, no.

• 17:12Bobby Lee?

  You know?

• 17:12Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 17:13Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I mean.

• 17:13Speaker 05

  By the way, yeah, I think I gotta identify with all of that. By the way, you know, I have teenagers and God, the, the, uh, mental attacks that we went through as teenagers. And they still exist now, but like now we've developed scabs and we can deal with it.

• 17:31Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 17:32Speaker 05

  Right?

• 17:32Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 17:33Speaker 05

  You know what I'm saying?

• 17:33Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 17:34Speaker 05

  So like, but like.

• 17:34Bobby Lee?

  We take things so, like, we're super sensitive.

• 17:37Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 17:37Bobby Lee?

  And we're perceptive.

• 17:38Speaker 05

  And that, and that situation that you described.

• 17:41Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 17:41Speaker 05

  Is like, I think in high school, that was like four times a day.

• 17:47Bobby Lee?

  Yes. 100%, 100%. It's the reason why I think I do what I do almost.

• 17:51Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 17:52Bobby Lee?

  That and the abuse from my dad and the molestation.

• 17:54Speaker 05

  Stop trying to make me laugh.

• 17:58Speaker 05

  You always bring in the funny.

• 18:01Speaker 02

  So playful.

• 18:02Speaker 05

  You always bring in the funny.

• 18:03Bobby Lee?

  But how do you deal with like, cause you're now, I mean, I don't want to embarrass you, but I mean, you're around big stars. I mean, you're Golden Globe, these kind of events. Are you nervous around famous people or are you good with them?

• 18:16Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 18:16Bobby Lee?

  You still are.

• 18:17Speaker 05

  Yeah, it's just very weird, right?

• 18:20Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 18:20Speaker 05

  I feel like they're all beautiful people, right?

• 18:23Bobby Lee?

  Sure.

• 18:24Speaker 05

  And so.

• 18:26Speaker 05

  In some ways, I feel like the entertainment industry, it's, it's so often, like, it's always that scene from Wizard of Oz where you're like, oh my, the great wizard, and then you look behind there and it's just a guy. Or like, you know, even like, but this happens, it's like you have a crush on a girl or someone, and you're like, the crush is only because you don't know anything about them. And then you get to know them and you realize that poo comes out of their butt.

• 18:56Bobby Lee?

  Dude, poo does come out.

• 18:58Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 18:58Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I say that to myself all the time. Like, if I'm intimidated by a girl, I go, she's had diarrhea.

• 19:04Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 19:05Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, like chunky, peanutty.

• 19:07Speaker 05

  You know what's weird? It's like, so I did, uh, like, people have their own.

• 19:13Bobby Lee?

  Please tell me diarrhea, are you gonna tell me a diarrhea story?

• 19:15Speaker 05

  No, it's not a diarrhea. I can tell you one.

• 19:17Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, give me a diarrhea story after this one.

• 19:24Bobby Lee?

  Helix, helix mattresses. You guys, I have several rooms in my house. I wouldn't call it a mansion, but, um.

• 19:36Speaker 02

  It's a mansion.

• 19:37Bobby Lee?

  It's a cute little modern house. Yeah, yeah. And in every room, I have a helix mattress. In fact, they're doing, um, I have a different helix mattress in my master bedroom than I do in the guest room.

• 19:47Speaker 02

  Wow.

• 19:48Bobby Lee?

  And because they're doing renovations of my, in my bathroom, in my, I've been sleeping on the guest mattress, and I like, I like that as well. You know, you can get different styles for your, for each room, if you have several rooms, that you can have, you know. Okay, so, you know, over the years, I, um, I would, I didn't even care about what mattresses I used. You know, do you know what kind of mattresses you have at your home?

• 20:12Speaker 02

  Just ones you buy in the store.

• 20:13Bobby Lee?

  Exactly. The one that you buy at the store. But that's not the right one, is it?

• 20:17Speaker 02

  It's not.

• 20:17Bobby Lee?

  It's not. What I did was, I did, just like you did, over the years, and my back hurt, didn't get really good sleep, and now that I have a helix mattress, I sleep like a baby. Do you wanna sleep like a baby?

• 20:28Speaker 02

  I do like.

• 20:28Bobby Lee?

  I think you should get one, then.

• 20:30Speaker 02

  Well, how long have you had yours?

• 20:31Bobby Lee?

  A diarrhea story?

• 22:20Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 22:21Speaker 05

  Um, I was dating a girl.

• 22:24Bobby Lee?

  Here we go.

• 22:25Speaker 05

  We went for Korean food.

• 22:27Speaker 04

  Oh, here we go.

• 22:28Speaker 05

  I had a lot of.

• 22:29Bobby Lee?

  Did you say Chilean?

• 22:30Speaker 05

  I had a lot of, a lot of kimchi.

• 22:33Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 22:34Speaker 05

  We were in a cab going to her apartment.

• 22:37Bobby Lee?

  Ooh, this is way before you were married?

• 22:39Speaker 05

  Way before.

• 22:39Bobby Lee?

  Okay.

• 22:40Speaker 05

  Yeah. And, and I literally had to say to her, I go, "I gotta go home." Hey, it's Adam Grant from Ted's Rethinking Podcast.

• 23:53Bobby Lee?

  Diarrhea.

• 23:54Speaker 05

  A pretty severe case of it.

• 23:55Bobby Lee?

  But could, but could, may I?

• 23:57Speaker 05

  And I blame Koreans.

• 23:59Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. Yeah. But what I'm saying is because sometimes I can't even stop it.

• 24:04Speaker 05

  Stop what?

• 24:05Bobby Lee?

  The diarrhea. The diarrhea.

• 24:06Speaker 05

  I don't think anyone has that much control.

• 24:09Bobby Lee?

  But you did in the cat, you were in a cab?

• 24:10Speaker 05

  Oh, yeah.

• 24:11Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, you were at the clinch it.

• 24:13Speaker 05

  Yeah, it was, it was kind of the renumeration. Uh, I don't even know what the word is, but like, you know that plunger sound? You know, like

• 24:22Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, I know that one, yeah.

• 24:23Speaker 05

  It's like your stomach gives you a warning, like, there's gonna be

• 24:26Bobby Lee?

  It's ready. Oh, so he gave you a pre-warning?

• 24:28Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 24:29Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 24:30Speaker 05

  But I thought it was weird. Here's what I was gonna tell you is that, so I did the Kelly Clarkson Show. I don't wanna but, uh, and she's very nice.

• 24:40Bobby Lee?

  I love her.

• 24:41Speaker 05

  And, and she sings without wearing shoes. And on that show, she just did the whole show with no shoes on. And, and so, and I know some people are into that. Like, I made a joke about that, but like, it is weird. Like, there's just varying levels of what, what's normal to someone is weird to someone else. Does that make sense?

• 25:04Bobby Lee?

  Yep.

• 25:05Speaker 05

  I guess what I'm saying is why can't we all get along?

• 25:08Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I get it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 25:11Speaker 05

  No.

• 25:11Bobby Lee?

  Well, she takes her shoes off to sing?

• 25:13Speaker 05

  Yeah, I think, I think it sounded like a fair amount of singers.

• 25:18Bobby Lee?

  Did you see her feet?

• 25:19Speaker 05

  I did.

• 25:20Bobby Lee?

  Nice.

• 25:21Speaker 05

  I mean, I'm not in defeat.

• 25:22Bobby Lee?

  They can go either way with her.

• 25:24Speaker 05

  No, no, she has a tattoo.

• 25:25Bobby Lee?

  They could be like, you know, oh, Cate Blanchett's feet, or it could be like, oh, Rosie Ann O'Connell feet.

• 25:30Speaker 05

  Cate Blanchett?

• 25:31Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, I've seen her feet before, Cate Blanchett's feet.

• 25:33Speaker 05

  So you are in defeat?

• 25:35Bobby Lee?

  Um, yeah, I like them. Yeah, I mean, if they're ratchet, I can't do it.

• 25:38Speaker 05

  Yeah, I mean.

• 25:39Bobby Lee?

  Like, if a woman's feet are ratchet, dude, I cannot come.

• 25:43Speaker 05

  So like, okay.

• 25:45Bobby Lee?

  No, I'm being, no, no, I'm being real. I'm being like, even, because you're not staring at the feet. Let me finish.

• 25:51Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 25:51Bobby Lee?

  Okay.

• 25:51Speaker 05

  You're like.

• 25:52Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, let me, you're not staring at the feet.

• 25:54Speaker 05

  I don't think there is an explanation.

• 25:56Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. There is, there is one.

• 25:58Speaker 05

  No, no, no.

• 25:59Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, there is. Yeah, yeah, let me try.

• 26:00Speaker 05

  Why you think I'm crazy?

• 26:02Bobby Lee?

  Like, even if I see the feet, because when you're in the act of love, you know what I mean?

• 26:05Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 26:06Bobby Lee?

  Right? You're not looking at the, right? But just the idea, listen, if I have her like legs up like this.

• 26:10Speaker 05

  Right.

• 26:11Bobby Lee?

  Right? I'm doing that, whatever that position is. What do you call that? With the legs?

• 26:14Speaker 05

  It's called missionary.

• 26:15Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, but when you hold the leg, do you hold the legs ever or not?

• 26:17Speaker 05

  I don't know.

• 26:18Speaker 06

  A wheelbarrow?

• 26:19Speaker 05

  Is it?

• 26:19Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, I call, yeah, or maybe the rickshaw.

• 26:21Speaker 05

  The rickshaw.

• 26:22Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 26:23Speaker 05

  Depending on your background.

• 26:29Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I'm rickshaw.

• 26:30Speaker 05

  If your people do manual labor or if they do, if they.

• 26:34Bobby Lee?

  Mexican, they call wheelbarrow. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 26:36Speaker 05

  If they deliver.

• 26:41Speaker 05

  I, I think I've proven that I'm racist.

• 26:44Bobby Lee?

  No, you're not.

• 26:45Speaker 05

  I think I've proven it.

• 26:46Bobby Lee?

  So when I'm doing the rickshaw, right?

• 26:47Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 26:47Bobby Lee?

  In my mind, I already, even though I'm not staring at the feet, I just know that they have ratchet feet and I can't come.

• 26:52Speaker 05

  Really?

• 26:53Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. Anyway, that's.

• 26:54Speaker 05

  Well, you know, there is, um, isn't there like a super hot woman that has really weird hands?

• 27:01Speaker 06

  Megan Fox?

• 27:02Bobby Lee?

  Megan Fox, yeah. It's the thumbs, right?

• 27:05Speaker 05

  Yeah, I don't know, but like, I, I think I could get over that.

• 27:08Bobby Lee?

  I can get over her thumbs, yeah.

• 27:09Speaker 06

  But not feet?

• 27:10Bobby Lee?

  No.

• 27:12Speaker 05

  Really?

• 27:12Bobby Lee?

  Uh, you know, you know, you know, no, Megan Fox, here's the thing. When I say ratchet, I don't mean like, um, I think she has just a, like, they're abnormal size. I think her thumb is shorter than the, you know what I mean? That I can live by. It's just, yeah. So you know how they're like.

• 27:29Speaker 05

  Where, oh, so it is?

• 27:30Bobby Lee?

  She has Brad Williams' thumb.

• 27:34Speaker 04

  A BW.

• 27:35Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, she has a dwarf thumb. But I can get over that because they're nicely manicured. What I'm saying, Ratchet, is there's dirt.

• 27:42Speaker 05

  There's dirt.

• 27:42Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I mean, maybe like-

• 27:43Speaker 05

  Where'd you meet this woman? You know, there's dirt.

• 27:47Bobby Lee?

  In a well?

• 27:48Speaker 05

  Like, they've obviously been outside for a while.

• 27:51Bobby Lee?

  But you don't say, you've never seen, like, you've seen, like, um, like, you go to Hot Topic.

• 27:56Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 27:57Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 27:57Bobby Lee?

  You go to ever Hot Topic?

• 27:59Speaker 04

  You go to the mall?

• 28:00Speaker 05

  I think so.

• 28:01Bobby Lee?

  No.

• 28:02Speaker 05

  You mean-

• 28:02Bobby Lee?

  When you're in a mall, do you go to a Hot Topic?

• 28:05Speaker 04

  I mean, if I was 13?

• 28:08Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. Dude, it would be so funny to see Jim Gavagat in a Hot Topic.

• 28:11Speaker 04

  Looking at chokers.

• 28:12Speaker 02

  Don't you have teenagers?

• 28:12Bobby Lee?

  What?

• 28:14Speaker 02

  Doesn't he have teenagers?

• 28:15Speaker 05

  I do, yeah, yeah.

• 28:16Bobby Lee?

  Is there Hot Topics where you come and you go?

• 28:18Speaker 02

  Yes, they are.

• 28:19Speaker 05

  It's much more of like a Duane Reade. Or, or, no, there's some kind of, like, uh, any New Yorkers here, there's some kind of place, but it's more for makeup and-

• 28:31Bobby Lee?

  Right, but at Hot Topic, you usually have, like, Gothic-y people there.

• 28:35Speaker 05

  Oh, really?

• 28:35Bobby Lee?

  Right, and sometimes you look at their fingers and you're like, oh, you know what I mean? They've been, like, you know what I mean, shoveling.

• 28:42Speaker 05

  Right.

• 28:42Bobby Lee?

  Right, and I don't, you know, that's what I mean about Ratchet, maybe.

• 28:45Speaker 05

  Right. Well, but-

• 28:47Bobby Lee?

  So, I'm on Ozempic and I get Ozempic-

• 28:49Speaker 05

  You, are you on Ozempic?

• 28:50Bobby Lee?

  I get the Zippic perps.

• 28:51Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 28:52Speaker 05

  And what milligram are you on? Because you know I'm on Manjaro.

• 28:56Bobby Lee?

  I'm on a combination of Wegovy-

• 28:58Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 28:59Bobby Lee?

  And Ozempic.

• 29:00Speaker 05

  And do you like it or not?

• 29:01Bobby Lee?

  I get nauseous. Do you get nauseous?

• 29:03Speaker 05

  I get, you know, a little bit, but not, uh, yeah, for the first day or for the whole time?

• 29:09Bobby Lee?

  Well, the first day, I almost died because I took, I didn't know how it works, so I took four times the amount that was supposed to.

• 29:14Speaker 05

  Wow.

• 29:14Bobby Lee?

  And so for three days, I was just vomiting.

• 29:16Speaker 05

  That's-

• 29:17Bobby Lee?

  It was terrible.

• 29:18Speaker 05

  I'm not a direction reader. But like-

• 29:21Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I didn't know how, I thought you would just put all of it in.

• 29:26Speaker 05

  Oh, really?

• 29:26Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 29:27Speaker 05

  Oh, my god.

• 29:28Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, so I put, this is the first day, I mean, I don't want to gross Jim out, but I was doing, um-

• 29:34Speaker 05

  Wow.

• 29:35Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I was doing a thing with Andrew and I just, I almost died that day. This was me- All day long for days, dude.

• 29:44Speaker 05

  Wow.

• 29:44Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, it was really bad. Okay.

• 29:46Speaker 05

  But you probably lost some weight throwing up all that.

• 29:48Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. Yeah, yeah, so a lot of weight. But I lost about seven pounds so far. It works.

• 29:53Speaker 05

  That's great.

• 29:54Bobby Lee?

  Does it work for you? It works for you. You look great.

• 29:56Speaker 05

  It works. I always describe it as now I eat like a human.

• 30:00Bobby Lee?

  Mmm.

• 30:01Speaker 05

  You know, instead of eating like a dog.

• 30:03Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. I mean, even when you're eating, I what I just you just kind of get full.

• 30:08Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 30:09Bobby Lee?

  And you're like, I'm done. But I wouldn't suggest going overboard like I did because it feels like it's fucking terrible.

• 30:17Speaker 05

  And so, oh, I'm sorry to deal with it. And it's your fault. I don't know. It has something to do with you. So how do you know everyone in here, Bobby?

• 30:28Bobby Lee?

  Oh, God, thank you so much for asking.

  Really?

  Is it?

• 30:46Bobby Lee?

  No, but what I'm, because I just, you know, why would you repeat condo?

• 30:49Speaker 05

  I don't know.

• 30:52Bobby Lee?

  I lived in a condominium.

• 30:54Speaker 05

  Okay. But isn't, wouldn't you just say an apartment?

• 30:59Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, you're right. You know, I think it's a condo is a.

• 31:01Speaker 04

  What's the difference? I don't.

• 31:02Bobby Lee?

  I don't know the difference. It just seems like, oh, I'm buying.

• 31:05Speaker 05

  Are you on Melrose Place?

• 31:07Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, so, yeah, I owned an apartment.

  Oh, you did?

• 31:12Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 31:12Speaker 05

  Okay.

  Yeah.

• 31:14Speaker 05

  Oh, you owned a condo?

  And in that complex, he lived there?

• 31:19Bobby Lee?

  No.

• 31:22Speaker 04

  I don't know what, I don't know what a condo has to do with.

• 31:24Bobby Lee?

  I'm gonna tell you, dude.

• 31:25Speaker 05

  He's gonna go through all his assets. I also had.

• 31:29Bobby Lee?

  Add two three S's. And, no, but so, one day I had a fight night.

• 31:34Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 31:35Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean? And.

• 31:36Speaker 05

  You say that like people have fight nights.

• 31:38Bobby Lee?

  You don't have fight nights?

• 31:39Speaker 05

  What do you mean, like?

• 31:40Bobby Lee?

  Like a UFC fight, you invite people over, you have some wings?

• 31:42Speaker 05

  All right, I thought you were having like a, like a.

• 31:45Bobby Lee?

  I'm gonna fight some of them.

• 31:46Speaker 05

  People are gonna fight.

• 31:47Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. So, and he is there. I don't know him.

• 31:51Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 31:52Bobby Lee?

  And I go, who is that to somebody? And they go, I don't know. You know what I mean? And then, what?

• 31:57Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 31:58Bobby Lee?

  And then we, then me and Khalyla, my ex, were like thinking about doing a pod, this podcast.

• 32:03Speaker 05

  Oh, wow.

• 32:04Bobby Lee?

  And then he kind of overheard it and he goes, I'm an engineer.

• 32:07Speaker 00

  About the story.

• 32:08Bobby Lee?

  Okay, what is it?

• 32:09Speaker 00

  You, Khalyla, I met her at a coffee shop. She said, can you help me hit record on my boyfriend Nye's podcast? And I said, I'm not an engineer, I'm an actor. She said, that's fine.

• 32:18Bobby Lee?

  No, stop, stop. I'm so sorry, okay? You're telling it from her point of view.

• 32:23Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 32:24Bobby Lee?

  Alright, so I don't know anything about it.

• 32:26Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 32:26Bobby Lee?

  So, li- listen to my point of view. I'm in a house, I don't know you, I've never heard of you, right? And so, wouldn't my story also be true?

• 32:35Speaker 00

  Yeah, but I don't think I did a fight night yet.

• 32:38Bobby Lee?

  Okay, good. Anyway, uh.

• 32:41Speaker 00

  But this is a fight night, this is a Bobby fight night.

• 32:43Bobby Lee?

  That was the fight night, yeah.

• 32:44Speaker 05

  That was, that was it, right?

• 32:45Bobby Lee?

  That was it, that was the night, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 32:47Speaker 00

  It's your condom medium you own.

• 32:48Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 32:49Speaker 05

  It was very Asian focused.

• 32:52Bobby Lee?

  What do you mean?

• 32:53Speaker 05

  You don't invite white people.

• 32:55Bobby Lee?

  No, no. Okay, can I say something about that, Jim?

• 32:58Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 32:58Bobby Lee?

  Alright. And let me tell you something about Jim.

• 33:00Speaker 05

  Yeah, you know.

• 33:01Bobby Lee?

  I'll let you something, okay?

• 33:02Speaker 05

  Okay, yeah.

• 33:02Bobby Lee?

  Alright. I was raised with the whites.

• 33:05Speaker 05

  The whites.

• 33:05Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, and, yeah, you people.

• 33:07Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 33:07Bobby Lee?

  And a lot of you are like, good people, like Schindler.

• 33:10Speaker 05

  Schindler.

• 33:10Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean? Like, good people.

• 33:12Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 33:12Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean? But there's some whites that aren't so good.

• 33:14Speaker 05

  No, I know.

• 33:15Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I think you're one of the good ones.

• 33:16Speaker 05

  I, well, thank you.

• 33:18Bobby Lee?

  You're welcome.

• 33:19Speaker 05

  Some of it is like, I wanna, I wanna go to that.

• 33:21Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, well, next time I have a fight night, you're invited. But also, um, so, I, all, and then when I came to LA, I go, oh, there's other Asians, and I sort of just kinda decided to maybe.

• 33:34Speaker 05

  Wait a minute, where did you grow up? I always thought you grew up in like, uh, in Northern California.

• 33:38Bobby Lee?

  No, I grew up in, um, well, that's.

• 33:41Speaker 05

  A stereotype, right?

• 33:43Bobby Lee?

  Like Ali Wong, and Chang Ling, and like everybody, you know what I mean?

• 33:47Speaker 00

  I thought you and Margaret Cho.

• 33:48Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, Margaret Cho. You guys are from the Bay Area, right? No, no, it's Jim. We're all over the world, okay? It's a Jim. Jim, I grew up in San Diego.

• 33:58Speaker 05

  San Diego.

• 33:59Bobby Lee?

  And I grew up in the suburbs called Poway, and there was maybe two or three Asians in my whole sit town.

• 34:05Speaker 05

  Sit town.

• 34:05Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 34:06Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 34:06Bobby Lee?

  So, that's my, um.

• 34:08Speaker 00

  Wow.

• 34:09Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, those are my yearbook, that's me on the tennis team.

• 34:12Speaker 05

  Right.

• 34:12Bobby Lee?

  Yeah?

• 34:13Speaker 00

  Damn.

• 34:13Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, that's me in improv. I was doing improv back then.

• 34:16Speaker 00

  White people behind you.

• 34:17Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 34:17Speaker 05

  Look at that.

• 34:18Bobby Lee?

  And look at, that lady in back of me was laughing. I'm killing them.

• 34:20Speaker 05

  By the way, so like, my, a good friend of mine, uh, in college, when I, uh. Started hanging out with her. She said that like when she and her family, they moved from Taiwan to Louisiana. That people would walk up to her and touch her eyes without her consent.

• 34:38Bobby Lee?

  What?

• 34:38Speaker 05

  Yeah, like, yeah, so like.

• 34:40Bobby Lee?

  What you guys don't realize?

• 34:42Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 34:44Bobby Lee?

  Is that there's like microaggressions, like little racial microaggressions that you we experience. Maybe not you because you're young.

• 34:52Speaker 02

  Yeah, man.

• 34:53Bobby Lee?

  What?

• 34:54Speaker 02

  No, man.

• 34:55Bobby Lee?

  Do you know what? Let me ask you something. What do you think microaggressions mean?

• 34:58Speaker 02

  Well, let me get my context clues out.

• 35:02Speaker 02

  Micro, small.

• 35:03Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 35:04Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 35:04Speaker 02

  Micro.

• 35:05Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 35:06Speaker 02

  And aggression.

• 35:07Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 35:07Speaker 02

  Like aggression, you know?

• 35:08Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 35:09Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 35:09Bobby Lee?

  So they, okay, you just took the word and just repeated the.

• 35:13Speaker 02

  I broke it down.

• 35:14Bobby Lee?

  You broke it down.

• 35:14Speaker 02

  I know the definition of it.

• 35:15Bobby Lee?

  Okay. Anyway, it's like these little, anyway, so when I was in the seventies, every day you would experience little things like that, even as an adult you do, like.

• 35:24Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 35:24Bobby Lee?

  I was on Southwest Airlines years ago and this old man was sitting next to me. And he just kind of turns to me and goes, my granddaughter.

• 35:33Bobby Lee?

  He goes, my granddaughter loves that Hello Kitty. And I go, excuse me? He goes, you did a good job with that. Right? Like I own the company.

• 35:43Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 35:43Bobby Lee?

  Like I created it.

• 35:44Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 35:45Bobby Lee?

  Bitch, I'm on Southwest with you.

• 35:47Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 35:47Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean? As a kid, kids would walk up and go, can you see? Yeah, and then like e- every day you you experiencing that, you experience that and then all of a sudden, you know what I mean? You just feel different.

• 36:02Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 36:03Bobby Lee?

  Do you care?

• 36:04Speaker 05

  I do care. By the way.

• 36:06Bobby Lee?

  I don't think you care!

• 36:07Speaker 05

  I do care.

• 36:08Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 36:08Speaker 05

  I, you know, the thing is, is that like we're all, I think all comedians are misfit toys.

• 36:14Bobby Lee?

  They called you albino probably.

• 36:16Speaker 05

  Yes, absolutely.

• 36:17Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 36:17Speaker 05

  And so it's nothing compared, and by the way, our, our struggles are nothing compared to, and I'm not comparing mine to yours. But versus like what like, you know, African Americans have dealt with.

• 36:31Bobby Lee?

  Sure.

• 36:31Speaker 05

  Insane.

• 36:32Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 36:32Speaker 05

  You know what I mean?

• 36:33Bobby Lee?

  I mean, listen to the song Strange Fruit.

• 36:35Speaker 05

  Right?

• 36:35Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 36:36Speaker 05

  I have, but I'm sure it's like.

• 36:38Bobby Lee?

  You know what that song, who sings that song? Billie Holiday did.

• 36:41Speaker 05

  Really?

• 36:41Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, and it's about the strange fruit are hanging black people.

• 36:47Bobby Lee?

  Oh, wow, man.

• 36:48Speaker 05

  I opened my eyes up to that.

• 36:49Bobby Lee?

  What?

• 36:50Speaker 05

  I didn't.

• 36:50Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, and she's, and when you listen to the song, it's just so visceral and sad. And she really expresses the pain of, because back then, they, it's literally, they would walk down the street and see their fellow human hung, and there's no consequences. No one got in trouble, you know what I mean?

• 37:13Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 37:13Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, it's insane.

• 37:14Speaker 05

  Well, it's not only that, they, there's, they've expunged the history of a lot of that stuff. Where you're like, oh, wow, like, there's certain towns where you're, like, Central Park was an African American neighborhood, like, parts of it. And they're like, we're doing a park here, sorry, you gotta go. And you're like, wow.

• 37:35Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 37:36Speaker 05

  And, you know, that's, that kind of stuff's been happening a while.

• 37:40Bobby Lee?

  Wow, wow. You still live in New York?

• 37:42Speaker 05

  I do. I live in Central Park.

• 37:44Bobby Lee?

  You love it?

• 37:46Bobby Lee?

  You love it? You love it?

• 37:47Speaker 05

  I do love it. I mean, it's, you know, yeah, yeah, I mean, I love it. It's just like the parenting thing, it's a different thing. You know what I mean?

• 37:56Bobby Lee?

  It seems, I would think, is it easier to parent in New York?

• 38:00Speaker 05

  No.

• 38:02Bobby Lee?

  Because I've seen kids in New York with no parents, eight years old, just walking around by themselves.

• 38:08Speaker 05

  Yeah, you know.

• 38:09Bobby Lee?

  It's unbelievable.

• 38:10Speaker 05

  There is some of the, the, learning the independence, and it's like, I'm for the legalization. I mean, our entire career, people are like, do our benefit, it's to legalize pot and all this. And I'm, you know, but what exists in California, I don't even honestly know the, the, how accessible it is versus New York is like, so in New York, the pandemic happened, all these businesses, they had to rent all this space, so they rented it to all these vape shops and, you know, and they're like, they essentially just sell it to anyone.

• 38:48Bobby Lee?

  Well, oh.

• 38:49Speaker 05

  And so they're not even making, and the cops are overwhelmed, so they, it's, it's. It's a, it's a perfect topic for a podcast, by the way. But, uh.

• 39:00Bobby Lee?

  Were you afraid that your kids are gonna go get vape?

• 39:03Speaker 05

  No, it's like, well, yeah, you know, it's just like, I'd like to go a half a block.

• 39:08Bobby Lee?

  Mmm.

• 39:10Speaker 05

  And I'm not even anti-weed.

• 39:12Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 39:12Speaker 05

  I'm just kind of like, make it a little bit of a struggle.

• 39:15Bobby Lee?

  Right, right, right, right, right.

• 39:17Speaker 05

  You know?

• 39:17Bobby Lee?

  But, you know, um, my theory, and I don't know if you're, I'm right, but I just think, I feel like, okay, I just talk about my own point of view, this is that, I feel like no matter what the circumstances of my life was, whether my parents were strict or not strict, that I was always gonna just end up being this guy.

• 39:36Speaker 05

  Oh, you think so?

• 39:37Bobby Lee?

  I think that, I think people are just born, and no matter what, because I know a lot of guys that have terrible childhoods. Like, physical abuse, molestation, the whole thing.

• 39:46Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 39:46Bobby Lee?

  You know, and they're just pretty grounded and.

• 39:49Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 39:49Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean? And then I know people that have had great lives that are just full-blown alcoholics.

• 39:53Speaker 05

  Well, there is that Natasha Beddingfield song, Unwritten.

• 39:59Speaker 05

  So there is that element.

• 40:02Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 40:03Speaker 05

  Right?

• 40:03Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 40:03Speaker 05

  No, but, yeah, I think the point you're making is like, what, you know, there's so many things that can define us.

• 40:10Bobby Lee?

  Hmm.

• 40:10Speaker 05

  Right?

• 40:11Bobby Lee?

  Hmm.

• 40:11Speaker 05

  But, why, why does like, someone having a dad that's an alcoholic destroy one person and not destroy the next?

• 40:20Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. I mean, there's a lot of people that like, had, um, a dad that wasn't around, right? And they had fucked up lives, but then you have Barack Obama who.

• 40:28Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 40:28Bobby Lee?

  Right? Killed it.

• 40:30Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 40:30Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. So I just, I don't know, I think that if you, I think your kids are just gonna turn out the way they're gonna turn out.

• 40:35Speaker 05

  I think so, too.

• 40:36Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 40:36Speaker 05

  I think that.

• 40:37Bobby Lee?

  Just let them roam free.

• 40:38Speaker 05

  I think that like, yeah, I totally, that's how I rationalize it, too.

• 40:43Bobby Lee?

  And your kids are so cute, and they just seem, what?

• 40:46Speaker 05

  I said, thanks.

• 40:47Bobby Lee?

  Okay.

• 40:48Speaker 02

  Hey, in New York, um, aren't you, oh, it's because I just remember I was in New York.

• 40:54Speaker 05

  I remember when you were there.

• 40:56Bobby Lee?

  What, what were you doing in New York, Jaime?

• 40:57Speaker 02

  Um, just spots.

• 40:59Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 41:00Speaker 02

  And, um, don't you guys have like, a bill right now where you guys have to pay taxes to Buffalo?

• 41:06Speaker 05

  Pay taxes to Buffalo. I don't know about that.

• 41:09Speaker 02

  What like, yeah, like you guys are helping the city of Buffalo?

• 41:13Speaker 05

  Oh, probably.

• 41:14Speaker 02

  Yeah, you guys hate that?

• 41:16Speaker 05

  No, no. I think some of it is just like the state, uh, it's kind of like the taxes are probably distributed around the state.

• 41:25Bobby Lee?

  Hi, I'm Jaime. Please ask another question. I just want to ask a different New York question because

• 41:30Speaker 05

  I feel like, you know, I'm not gay of a newsome, right?

• 41:36Speaker 05

  Well, I gotta hit it with this tax question. So if you are a Democrat.

• 41:41Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 41:41Speaker 05

  No, I'm sorry.

• 41:42Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, it's okay.

• 41:43Speaker 05

  Jaime, what's your middle name?

• 41:45Speaker 02

  Junior.

• 41:45Speaker 05

  Junior?

• 41:46Speaker 02

  Yeah, my dad messed up my name.

• 41:48Speaker 05

  Oh, really?

• 41:48Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 41:49Speaker 05

  And so what's your last name?

• 41:50Speaker 02

  Garcia.

• 41:51Speaker 05

  Garcia.

• 41:51Speaker 02

  I just gave it up.

• 41:52Speaker 05

  And so your dad's name is Jaime, too?

• 41:54Speaker 02

  Yeah, his Jaime Senior Garcia.

• 41:58Bobby Lee?

  Oh. Well, anyway, very, very, very good, very good, very interesting, very good.

• 42:02Speaker 02

  Cause Junior is supposed to be my last, like, my last.

• 42:05Speaker 05

  Not your last name, but

• 42:07Speaker 02

  My last is supposed to be last. Yeah, my dad, he doesn't speak much.

• 42:10Speaker 05

  So your name is, so your name is Jaime Junior Garcia Junior?

• 42:16Speaker 02

  In a way, yeah.

• 42:17Speaker 05

  Mm hmm. Yeah.

  Yeah, I couldn't help it.

• 42:21Bobby Lee?

  It's insight that I, you know, I had no, no

• 42:24Speaker 02

  You never asked me.

• 42:26Speaker 05

  You know, in Spain, they add the mother's maiden name. I mean, the mother's maiden name. Do they do that? Are you, where are you from? South America?

• 42:36Speaker 02

  No, I'm from Mexico.

• 42:37Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 42:38Bobby Lee?

  Well, in Korea, they

• 42:41Speaker 05

  You're Teano. Yeah.

  Yeah. Well, that and

• 42:44Speaker 05

  This was all Mexico at one point.

  Thank you. Very good.

• 43:01Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then you, so you, but I would be, and E is how they say Lee. They would, they'd go, this is Lee Song Woo.

• 43:15Speaker 05

  Oh, wow.

• 43:15Bobby Lee?

  Right. So they, I don't know how, why they do it. And another thing that they do, I don't know if you know that, is, you know, when you're born, you're born, um,

• 43:23Speaker 05

  Nine months.

• 43:24Bobby Lee?

  Nine months old.

• 43:24Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 43:25Bobby Lee?

  Did you know that?

• 43:25Speaker 05

  Yeah. I, yeah, no. And, uh, Also, yeah, in Korea, I know this, also, the, uh, the, the mother and the baby sleep on the ground for the first, they have a, they have a first birthday when the baby's born.

• 43:43Bobby Lee?

  Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

• 43:44Speaker 05

  And, um, but it's, I mean, I love all this stuff.

• 43:47Bobby Lee?

  Really?

• 43:48Speaker 05

  This cultural stuff, yeah, you know, in Iceland, everyone just had one name.

• 43:53Bobby Lee?

  No.

• 43:54Speaker 05

  Yeah, for a while.

• 43:55Bobby Lee?

  Like, I'm Tom?

• 43:56Speaker 05

  They were like, Tom, well, so you know, the name John's son.

• 44:00Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 44:01Speaker 05

  Is John's son.

• 44:03Bobby Lee?

  Oh, wait, this is John's son?

• 44:06Speaker 05

  Yes, Hander's son is Hander's son.

• 44:10Bobby Lee?

  Oh. Wow, I did not know.

• 44:13Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 44:13Bobby Lee?

  Whoa.

• 44:14Speaker 05

  And so all those.

• 44:15Bobby Lee?

  What about, there was a daughter, is it Hander's daughter?

• 44:17Speaker 05

  I think it is something like that.

• 44:19Bobby Lee?

  Something like that?

• 44:20Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 44:21Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 44:21Speaker 05

  Russ and daughters, no, I don't know.

• 44:23Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 44:24Speaker 05

  It's, um, but, yeah, no, I love all that stuff.

• 44:27Bobby Lee?

  That's so, that's so, that's so fucking interesting.

• 44:29Speaker 05

  And so, wait a minute, so if you were, you're Korean, Korean American, if you were in Korea and you met someone, you fell in love with someone with the last name Lee, you would not be, I think you can only marry them every, once every seven years?

• 44:45Bobby Lee?

  What? Wait, what's? Are you being, I'll Google that, what do you mean?

• 44:48Speaker 05

  Yeah, well, the thing is, is there's certain names, last names, or surnames, or whatever we're gonna call it.

• 44:55Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 44:56Speaker 05

  That are prominent in Korea, that they don't want, they don't want cousins to marry cousins.

• 45:04Bobby Lee?

  Ah, I see what you're saying, yeah, yeah.

• 45:06Speaker 05

  And so, like, Lee and Park and.

• 45:08Bobby Lee?

  So if I fuck a Park, it's, okay, anytime of the year.

• 45:12Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 45:12Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, and Lee, probably stay away from, it could be a distant relative.

• 45:17Speaker 05

  I don't know, I don't know, I just remember.

• 45:19Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, but if second cousins fuck, or have sex.

• 45:21Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 45:22Bobby Lee?

  Sexual intercourse.

• 45:23Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 45:23Bobby Lee?

  How, whatever you say.

• 45:24Speaker 05

  What's that? I, I'd say they, they do the silly.

• 45:28Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, so, when they, when they do the silly, if second cousins have kids, did the kids come out, I don't think so.

• 45:34Speaker 05

  No, I don't think that, they don't come out that way, but they can come out.

• 45:41Bobby Lee?

  Oh, they could, oh, it's your, it's the, the odds of it happening could be.

• 45:46Speaker 05

  I think so.

• 45:47Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 45:47Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 45:48Bobby Lee?

  That's so interesting.

• 45:49Speaker 05

  That the ban was unconstitutional, allowing couples with the same name, uh, surname to marry.

• 45:55Bobby Lee?

  Oh, so at one point it was illegal.

• 45:56Speaker 05

  Traditionally, Korean law prohibited marriage between people with the same surname.

  Yeah.

• 48:20Speaker 05

  You know what I mean?

• 48:20Bobby Lee?

  I think it's.

• 48:21Speaker 05

  Eating ass, that's weird.

• 48:25Speaker 05

  Now, people are gonna be so disappointed.

• 48:27Bobby Lee?

  I feel like you kiss first.

• 48:29Speaker 05

  What's that?

• 48:30Bobby Lee?

  I feel like when you're down there, you go first.

• 48:32Speaker 05

  I will, I've never done that.

• 48:36Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 48:36Speaker 05

  I've only, I mean, I remember when I was in seventh grade.

• 48:40Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 48:41Speaker 05

  And I was in shop class and, you know, all the guys were gathered around one big wooden table. Using a burner or whatever.

• 48:51Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 48:52Speaker 05

  And this, um, this, I think I was in seventh grade, but there was an eighth grader there. And he's like, and a girl walked by and he goes, yeah, she's all right, but she ain't got no ass.

• 49:42Speaker 05

  You mean like, where the poo comes from?

• 49:45Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 49:46Speaker 05

  Why would I care about someone's ass?

• 49:49Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. But then later you get, uh, you appreciation of.

• 49:52Speaker 05

  It's weird.

• 49:53Bobby Lee?

  It's weird through time.

• 49:54Speaker 05

  Very weird, right?

• 49:55Bobby Lee?

  And when he says ass, it's probably just the cheeks, not the butthole part.

• 49:58Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 49:59Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 49:59Speaker 05

  Yeah, it's the shape and the form.

• 50:01Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 50:02Speaker 05

  Right?

• 50:02Bobby Lee?

  Are you a flat ass or you like bulby?

• 50:05Speaker 05

  I like, uh.

• 50:08Speaker 05

  Bold.

• 50:10Bobby Lee?

  Like a Brazilian, you know what I mean? Where it sticks out.

• 50:17Speaker 05

  I look like, I, I like the type of ass that I look like I'd like. You know what I mean?

• 50:22Bobby Lee?

  All right, flat.

• 50:23Speaker 05

  And well.

• 50:24Bobby Lee?

  You look like you like flat. Like bony.

• 50:27Speaker 05

  I wouldn't say flat.

• 50:28Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 50:29Speaker 05

  But I would say feminine.

• 50:32Bobby Lee?

  Oh, I don't know.

• 50:34Speaker 05

  So not like, like some people like J Lo, that doesn't do anything for me.

• 50:39Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, really?

• 50:41Speaker 05

  No.

• 50:41Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 50:42Speaker 05

  Or Kim Kardashian, that's.

• 50:43Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, it's too much.

• 50:44Speaker 05

  Let me ask the other dorky white guy.

• 50:46Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 50:47Speaker 05

  How do you feel?

• 50:47Bobby Lee?

  Well, he, he's dating, he's married to a Korean and they generally have bony asses.

• 50:51Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 50:52Bobby Lee?

  She, is it bony?

• 50:53Speaker 03

  I have an appreciation for bulbous asses.

• 50:56Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, but your wife does not have one?

• 50:58Speaker 03

  No.

• 50:59Bobby Lee?

  Okay. And there's no shame in the game.

• 51:01Speaker 05

  You want what you can't have?

• 51:02Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, there's no shame in the game. I mean, I also, I mean, I probably won't want to talk about this, but I'm just gonna, I'll express myself.

• 51:09Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 51:09Bobby Lee?

  And you might not have to add to it.

• 51:11Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 51:11Bobby Lee?

  But there's a specific kind of vagina I like.

• 51:14Speaker 05

  All right, I won't ask.

• 51:17Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean? And I like, you know, I'm more of a.

• 51:19Speaker 05

  You're curating? Isn't it, uh?

• 51:24Bobby Lee?

  What, what?

• 51:24Speaker 05

  I mean, like, isn't there kind of like, I always thought that like, there was like a pheromone thing. I mean, I've been married for twenty.

• 51:32Bobby Lee?

  There is a pheromone thing.

• 51:33Speaker 05

  But like, so you're sitting there, you know, you're going, cause we've all had like crushes on, on women and then you kiss them and you're like, oh, it's okay. It's a little weird.

• 51:43Bobby Lee?

  Hmm.

• 51:43Speaker 05

  You're talking, you're like doing like a taste test or something like that?

• 51:48Bobby Lee?

  It's, I'll tell you what it's like. It's like the prize in a Cracker Jack box. You don't know what you're gonna get, right?

• 51:55Speaker 05

  Usually tattoos.

• 51:58Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 51:59Speaker 05

  Or a piece of gum.

• 52:00Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, like a piece of gum, right?

• 52:01Speaker 02

  Wait, what's Cracker Jack? Oh, nevermind, okay. Sorry. I was thinking about Apple Jacks. You ever had Apple Jacks?

• 52:08Speaker 05

  I have had.

• 52:09Bobby Lee?

  But you've had Cracker Jacks?

• 52:10Speaker 02

  Is it the box?

• 52:11Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 52:12Speaker 04

  Is it a box?

• 52:13Bobby Lee?

  It's a box. There's nothing in it. It's a box.

• 52:15Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 52:15Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 52:16Speaker 02

  Crackers, right?

• 52:16Speaker 05

  No, no, it's not crackers.

• 52:18Speaker 02

  Is it the animals?

• 52:19Speaker 05

  It's popcorn covered in caramel.

• 52:21Speaker 04

  You're thinking animal crackers.

• 52:22Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 52:23Speaker 05

  Baseball.

• 52:23Bobby Lee?

  Hi, Maple. What the fuck, man?

• 52:25Speaker 02

  I'm just trying to figure it out.

• 52:26Bobby Lee?

  So what I'm, let me make my point, okay? My point, my point is this, okay? It's just like, you know, it's not a deal breaker for me. But I, if I really like a girl and I go, I have feelings and we really get along. And then eventually we get to a point where I get to see, you know what I mean, the vagina, right? There are times where I go, ah, shucks.

• 52:48Speaker 05

  And what is?

• 52:49Bobby Lee?

  And it's like, I just, you know, it's not.

• 52:50Speaker 05

  All right, let's take a round of hands here.

• 52:53Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 52:54Speaker 05

  Uh, from any of the men in the room that have actually had sex. Who has, uh, no, I'm joking.

• 53:00Speaker 02

  Is that me?

• 53:01Speaker 05

  Uh, no.

• 53:04Speaker 05

  No, but like, I, I find your approach unique, right? Or is that unique or like, is it a generational thing where guys are like, yeah, now we're?

• 53:15Speaker 04

  I'm happy to be there.

• 53:16Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 53:16Speaker 04

  No matter.

• 53:17Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, you're happy.

• 53:18Speaker 05

  I'm happy to be there.

• 53:18Bobby Lee?

  Okay, good.

• 53:19Speaker 04

  I'm happy to be there.

• 53:19Bobby Lee?

  What?

• 53:20Speaker 04

  I'm just happy to be there.

• 53:21Speaker 03

  Happy the bastard didn't kick me out.

• 53:22Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 53:22Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, okay, so.

• 53:23Speaker 02

  I'm just grateful.

• 53:24Speaker 05

  You're happy that the chloroform has some.

• 53:28Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can't believe, I can't believe what I'm hearing right now. I think that everyone in the room is lying to me.

• 53:35Speaker 05

  Really?

• 53:35Bobby Lee?

  There's no way, yeah, if, if it was a roast beef situation, there's gotta be like, ah, shucks.

• 53:43Speaker 05

  That's interesting.

• 53:43Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. That's all, I mean, you know, yeah, yeah.

• 53:46Speaker 05

  So I think that.

• 53:48Bobby Lee?

  Is this wrong to, I?

• 53:50Speaker 04

  It's just you going, ah, shucks, just staring at it.

• 53:52Bobby Lee?

  I say it in my mind. I don't say it out loud.

• 53:54Speaker 05

  You say, you say, uh, ah, shucks because what is the disappointment there?

• 54:00Bobby Lee?

  It's not the style that I like, but it's like, but I, can I, I'll be another, I'll be Frank. I'll be Frank again, all right?

• 54:06Speaker 05

  All right, you be Frank.

• 54:07Bobby Lee?

  I'll be Frank. I'll be Frank Caliendo. No, I, I, no.

• 54:10Speaker 04

  John Madden.

• 54:13Bobby Lee?

  What I want to say is there have been women that have seen my situation and, and I could see in their eyes like, ah, shucks.

• 54:20Speaker 04

  Ah.

• 54:21Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they look in there, they go, ah. And I, and they go, I guess this is what, you know, it is. Right, and I go, but we like each other, right? Yeah, and I've stayed in many years.

• 54:31Speaker 05

  You must be so relieved that you have them gagged.

• 54:36Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, but it's like, you know, there's been an ostraczy kind of a moment that I've seen in them. I've been told that I have boyfriends.

• 54:42Speaker 05

  That might be you imagining that, right? This goes back.

• 54:47Bobby Lee?

  Here's the face, here's the face.

• 54:49Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 54:49Bobby Lee?

  Can I show you the face?

• 54:50Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 54:51Bobby Lee?

  Zip, underwear down.

• 54:54Speaker 05

  Really? Who are these?

• 54:58Bobby Lee?

  No, it's not that.

• 54:59Speaker 05

  Yeah, I mean.

• 54:59Bobby Lee?

  It's not that.

• 55:01Speaker 05

  By the way.

• 55:01Bobby Lee?

  I'd kill myself if that happened. That'd be so depressing.

• 55:05Speaker 05

  What I thought was, I mean, this is my second time coming here, and I feel like, you know, when you arrive for a podcast for comedians, in a way, it's like you're, you're, you're going to therapy. You know what I mean?

• 55:20Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 55:21Speaker 05

  It's like, do you need to use the bathroom? Okay, and now come in here and say all these things that, do you know what I mean?

• 55:29Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I do.

• 55:30Speaker 05

  I don't know, that has any. But back to you and your.

• 55:33Bobby Lee?

  No, no, I'm just, these are just thoughts that I have, you know, I could be wrong, but it's just like, you know, I do have, you know, even like, do you like breasts or no, do you have a style of breasts that you like?

• 55:43Speaker 05

  I, I do not like gigantic.

• 55:47Bobby Lee?

  Me, dude, bro, amen.

• 55:50Speaker 05

  Right?

• 55:50Bobby Lee?

  Amen, I like kiwi fruit.

• 55:52Speaker 05

  Yeah, I like the champagne glass.

• 55:54Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, champagne, yeah, very good.

• 55:56Speaker 02

  What do those look like?

• 55:59Speaker 05

  They look like a champagne.

• 56:02Speaker 05

  So like, supposedly a champagne glass, you've seen a champagne glass, right?

• 56:06Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 56:06Speaker 05

  So like, if you put that up, that's supposedly, I don't know.

• 56:11Bobby Lee?

  Hi, do you have a preference, like, give me, like, you know, give me.

• 56:14Speaker 02

  Like I said, I'm just grateful to what I have.

• 56:16Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 56:16Bobby Lee?

  Or what you have.

• 56:17Speaker 02

  Or what I get from her.

• 56:19Bobby Lee?

  Well, you know what, you know, dude, ultimately, dude, I think you're right, I think I'm grateful too, because all my life, you know, up until I started stand up, I really had nobody.

• 56:29Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah.

• 56:30Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean, it's only when I had the confidence

• 56:32Speaker 05

  Yep.

• 56:32Bobby Lee?

  of doing stand up, and like, oh, people do like me, or I am worthwhile, or whatever. And then you also can feel it, I remember the first time, I mean, I've told this story before, but my story was. When I, since I was a kid, nothing, and I was twenty-three years old, and at the Comedy Store in La Jolla, this is where I started, they used to, if you were a doorman, you were able to host one of the weekend shows, which is huge because it's like, the headliners come in, and that's how I met Paulie back then, and, you know, all these Dice and all these kinda guys, right? And so, I remember one night, um, there was a beautiful girl in the front row, and we, there was no, also back then, there was no cell phones.

• 57:14Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 57:15Bobby Lee?

  Right?

• 57:15Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 57:16Bobby Lee?

  So then, after the show, I was, you know, I closed out the show, like, one more time for whoever it was, and I get up, and I turn to this girl, and I go, "Did you have a good time?" And she goes, "Oh, yeah, I did." And that, like, one in the morning, I was, like, mopping the Comedy Store, and Fred Burns, the manager, goes, "Lee, you have a phone call." Right, and I go to the phone, and it's that girl.

• 57:39Speaker 05

  Oh, my.

• 57:40Bobby Lee?

  She goes, "Hey, I just never got your name," or like, "You just seem so sweet, and you're so funny." She goes, "You wanna hang out?" And that's how it happened. I couldn't believe it. It was, it, I, it was like, winning the lottery.

• 57:53Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 57:53Bobby Lee?

  That feeling.

• 57:54Speaker 05

  Yeah, no, it is, and you know, the amazing thing is, that woman was Hillary Clinton.

• 58:02Speaker 05

  No, but, you know, I remember.

• 58:04Bobby Lee?

  That's how old you are.

• 58:05Speaker 05

  I remember so clearly, uh, the, uh, going into the DC Improv.

• 58:13Bobby Lee?

  Love.

• 58:14Speaker 05

  And.

• 58:14Bobby Lee?

  That room.

• 58:15Speaker 05

  A great room.

• 58:16Bobby Lee?

  Great room.

• 58:16Speaker 05

  And so, going into the DC Improv, and this is finally when I was headlining.

• 58:22Bobby Lee?

  What year, do you know?

• 58:23Speaker 05

  Uh, nineteen oh one.

• 58:26Speaker 05

  No, it was, I don't know when it was. And I was headlining, and I think, um, I had gotten some confidence, but I remember this moment so clearly because I, um...

• 58:39Speaker 05

  Oh, it was after the show. So like before the show in before they had the green room there. You would kind of just hang in the back or hang hang in the hallway outside of the room. But if you wanted to watch, you had to be in the room with the audience.

• 58:53Bobby Lee?

  It's like the Addison Improv Act.

• 58:55Speaker 05

  And and the audience, they don't know who you are, or they don't really care. And so I remember standing in the room and and I was like, these people have no idea who I am. That's and that's fine. And I did my show. And then afterwards, I was selling CDs. And I remember thinking like, are these girls flirting with me? And and I remember thinking, oh, my gosh. They, you know, like, because I had this good show, they are treating me differently. I have to remember that, like, this is not about who I am. This is about what they've seen. Like, it's not like I'm suddenly good looking.

• 59:40Speaker 05

  And then like a week later, I was like, I'm good looking.

• 59:46Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 59:46Speaker 05

  Do you know what I mean? Like, no, but I knew it's like, oh, this is purely the the the the runoff from the show. This is not what they really think. And and I was like, I gotta make sure that I don't buy the hype.

• 1:00:02Bobby Lee?

  Right. But is it that? Or, you know, so when I was in San Diego, I worked at this place called The Panic. And it was a coffee shop. And I worked there with a dwarf. I love them. They're so magical. You know what I mean? And they have candy corn. They love it. You know what I mean? Anyway, Ben, this guy, his name is Ben, he had tattoos.

• 1:00:23Bobby Lee?

  I'm not, can you, Jim? Everyone in the room? This dude used to date supermodels. The most beautiful women. I couldn't believe it. I couldn't fucking believe it. He's like this man, you know what I mean? And one day I asked him, I go, hey, Ben. How do you get so many girls? He goes, Bobby, I go to bat and I strike out a hundred times. But sometimes I hit the ball and he looks at me and he goes, Bobby, I've never seen you swing.

• 1:00:54Speaker 05

  Wow.

• 1:00:55Bobby Lee?

  Right? And in my mind, I realized, oh, it's a numbers game. And he also, he has the confidence. He has nothing to lose. And I think that's what I was lacking as a young guy. Any rejection, I would, I'd take it so personally.

• 1:01:10Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:01:10Bobby Lee?

  Right? But there's some people like Ben that was like, nah, fuck it. It's a numbers game.

• 1:01:15Speaker 05

  Yeah. And, and also I think doing standup comedy, you kind of consume a fair amount of humiliation.

• 1:01:23Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:01:24Speaker 05

  It's like if you're joking and sarcastic with a woman and she thinks you're a weirdo. It's like, that's fine.

• 1:01:32Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:01:33Speaker 05

  Show to do a little on.

• 1:01:34Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:01:35Speaker 05

  Do you know what I mean?

• 1:01:35Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:01:36Speaker 05

  Um, God, that's so interesting.

• 1:01:38Bobby Lee?

  Do you, do you?

• 1:01:38Speaker 05

  It really is confidence.

• 1:01:39Bobby Lee?

  It is confidence.

• 1:01:40Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:01:40Bobby Lee?

  And I think that we, you know, by doing standup, we build that confidence.

• 1:01:44Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 1:01:44Bobby Lee?

  And then we, and because we get so much rejection in our job.

• 1:01:48Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:01:49Bobby Lee?

  Right? That, you know, they say, I've been, many times I've had girls go, no. And it does, it's not that painful. You know what I mean? But a little bit, it hurts a little bit sometimes.

• 1:01:59Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:01:59Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean?

• 1:02:00Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:02:00Bobby Lee?

  Um, but, um, and I also wanted to ask you, I was thinking about this, um,

• 1:02:06Bobby Lee?

  because you know, when you're struggling, because you started in New York.

• 1:02:10Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:02:11Bobby Lee?

  And, you know, I, I mean, I can't imagine, you know, I mean, what your struggle was like. You know what I mean? But it's like, I mean, you've got probably a lot, plenty of stage time and it's a great community. But you have these dreams, like you remember those feelings of like, am I gonna ever make it? How do people make it?

• 1:02:27Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:02:27Bobby Lee?

  Right? Now that you have, do you feel it or no?

• 1:02:32Speaker 05

  Um.

• 1:02:33Bobby Lee?

  Cause you're at the top, you're, you, I don't want to embarrass you, but you're in the top of the field. I mean, of your field.

• 1:02:40Speaker 05

  Well, thank you. I mean, I would say that there was a significant amount of time where I was like, all right, it's not going to happen.

• 1:02:50Bobby Lee?

  Hmm.

• 1:02:50Speaker 05

  And, uh, I'm going to be the weird uncle that lives in a tiny weird apartment and.

• 1:02:59Bobby Lee?

  Or condo.

• 1:03:00Speaker 05

  And, or condo.

• 1:03:01Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:03:02Speaker 05

  And.

• 1:03:02Bobby Lee?

  Very good, Jaime.

• 1:03:03Speaker 05

  But I was, I was, but I was like, all right, fine. You know, like I, I joke around about coming here and saying this is like therapy. I like went through therapy for like, I don't know, 10 years, you know what I mean? And so like, some of it was, I think I was like, I was very angry. I was like, I'm, you know, like, I can't believe it's unfair, duh, duh, duh. And I see it in my kids too, that same kind of, cause the anxiety, the anxiety of being a teenager. You know what I mean?

• 1:03:32Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:03:32Speaker 05

  It was, uh, and in your twenties and you're frustrated and stuff like that. So I definitely came to the conclusion, all right, so what if I can, I just get to do what I like?

• 1:03:45Bobby Lee?

  Hmm.

• 1:03:46Speaker 05

  And I don't get to have any measurable success. Cause you talked about like never doing, uh, Montreal. I was the last person in, in, you know, the couple, you know, generations or grades of comedians to do a late night show.

• 1:04:04Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 1:04:05Speaker 05

  So it was like, it was very much like, I think Ian Bag, who was kind of my class. I think he had done Conan like maybe 10 times.

• 1:04:14Bobby Lee?

  Wow. I love him by.

• 1:04:15Speaker 05

  And, and, you know, he's brilliant. And so it was like one of those things where it was just, I would go on stage and there would be a booker and the booker would leave the room.

• 1:04:24Bobby Lee?

  Ooh.

• 1:04:25Speaker 05

  You know what I mean?

• 1:04:25Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember.

• 1:04:27Speaker 05

  Yeah, right? Where they're like.

• 1:04:29Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:04:29Speaker 05

  Uh, I gotta go. And like, you might be like, hey, I'd really like you to see. And so all that panic.

• 1:04:38Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:04:38Speaker 05

  So I, I eventually got to the point of like, I wasn't even kind of like, when is this gonna happen? I was like, you know, in a therapy room going, all right, so I'm going to be a guy who.

• 1:04:51Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:04:51Speaker 05

  Lives by himself.

• 1:04:53Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:04:53Speaker 05

  In a rent controlled apartment, does some, uh, stand up, you know, like the stage time, I never.

• 1:05:02Speaker 05

  I never really got quality stage time. I do, like even you talked about the cellar. I don't really work at the cellar.

• 1:05:10Bobby Lee?

  Even now?

• 1:05:11Speaker 05

  No.

• 1:05:11Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 1:05:12Speaker 05

  Well, I mean, I did initially, me and Geraldo kind of passed around the same time, but I'm not good at schmoozing.

• 1:05:20Bobby Lee?

  Hmm.

• 1:05:21Speaker 05

  And, and so like, and I didn't want to give, you know, you would get weekly spots and I didn't want to give away the authority of that week. Cause I'd always done kind of like, you know, uh, shows in non-traditional settings.

• 1:05:38Bobby Lee?

  Hmm.

• 1:05:38Speaker 05

  And so like, I was getting the stage time and I was like, all right, I'm not going to rely on one person to determine whether I'm going to be in a good mood.

• 1:05:48Bobby Lee?

  Oh, right, right, right, right.

• 1:05:49Speaker 05

  Do you know what I mean?

• 1:05:49Bobby Lee?

  Because even, even when you don't get spots, that hurts.

• 1:05:53Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 1:05:53Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, when you call in and they're like, yeah, we got nothing for you this week.

• 1:05:56Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:05:56Bobby Lee?

  Like, okay, but.

• 1:05:57Speaker 05

  And then you see the schedule and you're like, all right.

• 1:05:59Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:06:00Speaker 05

  Okay, and you.

• 1:06:01Bobby Lee?

  Oh, my God, that pain.

• 1:06:02Speaker 05

  So I would much rather do, you know, I did these rooms, Gladys's and, uh, you know, uh.

• 1:06:10Bobby Lee?

  Wow, wow, wow.

• 1:06:11Speaker 05

  You know, just like really kind of, you know, non-glamorous, but I, I kind of viewed it as stage time, as stage time, kind of thing.

• 1:06:19Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. There was a booker, I remember years ago, and he, this person, I don't want to say the name, but like booked a lot of shows.

• 1:06:26Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:06:27Bobby Lee?

  And I remember a comic talking to this person and I'm like, you know what, Bobby? This is your chance to like, just have, have some bravery, right? And be proactive about where you are in life and just introduce yourself, right? So this comic was talking to this booker and I walk up and I go, hey, I'm Bobby, I'm a comic. And this person, I remember, and this, what this person said is stuck in my brain for the rest of my life. This person goes, uh huh. And then turn back to, you know what I mean? And that echoes in my mind, uh huh.

• 1:07:00Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:07:00Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, and that pain, but I, here's the thing that maybe you and I both have. Is I just knew I was never gonna quit.

• 1:07:09Speaker 05

  Yeah, no, I don't think, no.

• 1:07:11Bobby Lee?

  No, that wasn't an option for me.

• 1:07:12Speaker 05

  That first time I tried it, it was the, I was like, oh, this all makes sense.

• 1:07:20Bobby Lee?

  It's addicting.

• 1:07:21Speaker 05

  Right, yeah.

• 1:07:22Bobby Lee?

  It's addicting. You feel it.

• 1:07:24Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:07:25Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:07:26Bobby Lee?

  I put this guy in front of, uh, the main room, remember, me and Andrew did a show. I was, I thought you were gonna bomb. I was so nervous. And you were-

• 1:07:34Speaker 05

  He's your son.

• 1:07:35Bobby Lee?

  That's right, that's right. And I was delightfully surprised, cuz I'd never seen you do stand up. I only know you in this setting.

• 1:07:42Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:07:43Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean?

• 1:07:43Speaker 05

  How did you meet him? How do you know?

• 1:07:47Bobby Lee?

  So, oh, yeah, yeah. So Ralph Boboza, you know?

• 1:07:49Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:07:50Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. Ralph was a guest of mine, and they grew up two doors down from each other.

• 1:07:54Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 1:07:54Bobby Lee?

  In Texas. He was just sitting over there.

• 1:07:56Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 1:07:57Bobby Lee?

  And then I, and he, I go, I wanna talk to this guy. And he was just so innocently and just genuinely authentic and himself. We fly him out here, from Texas.

• 1:08:09Speaker 05

  Really?

• 1:08:09Bobby Lee?

  Do this pod, yeah. He's done every single one, in the last couple of months.

• 1:08:13Speaker 02

  Couple of months, yeah.

• 1:08:14Speaker 05

  So you fly, you come out here from Texas? Where in Texas do you live?

• 1:08:18Speaker 02

  In Dallas.

• 1:08:19Speaker 05

  Oh, wow.

• 1:08:20Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:08:20Speaker 05

  That's amazing.

• 1:08:21Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, we fly him up every week almost, right? Sometimes we have two weeks off, but then like, we've been flying him out and he's been just a real joy. He's a diamond.

• 1:08:31Speaker 05

  It sounds, all right, there's something suspicious. You're like, we just fly him out.

• 1:08:35Bobby Lee?

  What do you mean? What do you mean? What do you mean?

• 1:08:37Speaker 05

  He does our podcast.

• 1:08:38Bobby Lee?

  What do you mean? What do you mean?

• 1:08:39Speaker 05

  You know, and then, you know, like, I might have some projects for him to do, you know? Well, I mean- It's like, what do you mean? Fly him out to, he just, you just come and sit on the podcast.

• 1:08:50Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:08:50Bobby Lee?

  We get him a hotel room. I mean, we, we fly him south west, right?

• 1:08:54Speaker 05

  And then you might, you know, like, if Bobby's bored, he might come by the hotel and-

• 1:09:01Speaker 05

  What is?

• 1:09:02Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:09:03Speaker 05

  Oh my god, that's actually really generous, but I still don't buy it.

• 1:09:07Bobby Lee?

  No, what would you think it would be?

• 1:09:11Speaker 05

  I don't know. So he is just, you like him as a foil for you?

• 1:09:15Bobby Lee?

  It's like, it's like, it's like this, Jimmy.

• 1:09:17Speaker 05

  I mean, that last person that had your role was his girlfriend.

• 1:09:21Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, and she's coming, she has, she has face paralysis.

• 1:09:25Speaker 05

  No!

• 1:09:25Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, for two months, so we're using him until she comes back.

• 1:09:30Speaker 05

  Is she alright?

• 1:09:31Bobby Lee?

  Well, it's her, she looked like Harvey Dent. I mean, it's like, it's like melting.

• 1:09:35Speaker 05

  Oh my god.

• 1:09:36Speaker 02

  You're not so good, huh?

• 1:09:37Speaker 04

  Melting.

• 1:09:38Bobby Lee?

  Like, right, the-

• 1:09:39Speaker 04

  It doesn't move. Bellpalsy, yeah.

• 1:09:40Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, bellpalsy. He has that. So we, I needed a sidekick and, you know, he's, he's-

• 1:09:46Speaker 05

  What about all these guys?

• 1:09:47Speaker 04

  We've been doing it for so long.

• 1:09:49Speaker 05

  I don't want to take anything away from you.

• 1:09:51Speaker 02

  That's fine.

• 1:09:51Bobby Lee?

  Also, I met George. Do you remember Maker Studios? Have you heard of that?

• 1:09:56Speaker 05

  Uh, are they kinda like you make robots?

• 1:09:59Bobby Lee?

  No, no, no, no, it was, no. Maker Studios was a YouTube, well, a bunch of YouTube stars started a company called Maker Studios. And, um, this is, that's so funny because back then, you know, after Mad TV, you know, my career was going down. I could not get hired. So in my mind, I'm like, I gotta go to the internet. And I went to Maker Studios, which I, how, how long was I there? A year?

• 1:10:28Speaker 04

  Um, parts of four years. You didn't, you didn't show up all the time.

• 1:10:31Bobby Lee?

  Right, right, but it was, I got no traction.

• 1:10:34Speaker 05

  So you would do videos, hoping that-

• 1:10:37Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, like I would do like sketches and stuff and nobody watched, but they assigned George as my producer back then. And then when we started Tiger Belly like eight years ago.

• 1:10:47Speaker 04

  Nine.

• 1:10:47Bobby Lee?

  Nine years ago, we asked him, can you help, help? And he's created a whole company now. Because he, he produces also Bad, Bad Friends. My, my, with Andrew.

• 1:10:57Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:10:58Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean? You don't have a podcast?

• 1:11:00Speaker 05

  No, I don't.

• 1:11:01Bobby Lee?

  You'll probably never do one.

• 1:11:04Speaker 05

  I don't know. I mean, no, I, you know, I'm jealous of it though, because I feel like it really is this good time to hang out and you have these busy lives. You know what I mean?

• 1:11:17Bobby Lee?

  It saved my life.

• 1:11:19Speaker 05

  Right. So like you and Andrew are buddies and you get to, you have to hang out. I mean, unless you guys are sick of each other.

• 1:11:25Bobby Lee?

  No, you know what? We, um, you know, we have different, I know my role in our relationship.

• 1:11:32Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:11:33Bobby Lee?

  You know, like Wham! Or like Simon and Garfunkel.

• 1:11:36Speaker 05

  You're not George Michael.

• 1:11:37Bobby Lee?

  No, I'm the other guy.

• 1:11:39Speaker 05

  Oh, really?

• 1:11:39Bobby Lee?

  Oh, yeah. I'm Garfunkel for sure.

• 1:11:41Speaker 05

  Really?

• 1:11:42Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. Well, I'll tell you why.

• 1:11:44Speaker 05

  I don't, I don't.

• 1:11:47Speaker 05

  All right.

• 1:11:47Bobby Lee?

  The audience might not think, right? But I play the Garfunkel role because I think that you can't have two big egos, you know what I mean, in a situation. Somebody has to take a step back. And I do that because it's just my personality type. And I adjust, you know what I mean? So that we can keep this good thing going.

• 1:12:07Speaker 05

  No, it's, I, I find that, uh, I mean, I don't even, I don't know Andrew that well, so it's like, but you're really bad mouthing him. No.

• 1:12:18Speaker 05

  No, but, but the thing is, is like, there is, in the acting, there are, there are huge egos. And I don't have any problem with it. So like, people are like, oh, that guy's really difficult to work with. And I'm like, not really.

• 1:12:32Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:12:32Speaker 05

  You know what I mean? If you just show up prepared and like, don't need to be the center of attention, it's fine.

• 1:12:40Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I prefer it.

• 1:12:41Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:12:41Bobby Lee?

  I prefer working with really crazy actors.

• 1:12:44Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:12:44Bobby Lee?

  Like, you know, I don't want to say the show, but, you know, a couple of years ago, I was on a show.

• 1:12:49Speaker 05

  Hillary Clinton.

• 1:12:50Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, Hillary Clinton, Clinton, and.

• 1:12:52Speaker 05

  Who was? Uh, there was a show that you were on.

• 1:12:54Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, and, you know, and, you know, um, it, you know, you know, there's that, the cast area where the, the high chairs are.

• 1:13:01Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:13:02Bobby Lee?

  It was perfect. I could just play my Candy Crush or whatever, and this person's not bothering me. And we're not bothering each other. You know what I mean?

• 1:13:08Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:13:09Bobby Lee?

  It's just that I get, you know, I, I, I never think that, oh, I'm gonna.

• 1:13:14Bobby Lee?

  Find my lifelong best friend from this show. That's never happened.

• 1:13:17Speaker 05

  Yeah, no, no, yeah.

• 1:13:18Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:13:19Speaker 05

  It is.

• 1:13:19Bobby Lee?

  Do you get, let me ask you, so do you, because you're working a lot as an actor.

• 1:13:23Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:13:24Bobby Lee?

  Is it, um, do you get nervous?

• 1:13:27Speaker 05

  Yeah, I mean, yeah, I would say the first day.

• 1:13:31Bobby Lee?

  It's so nerve wracking.

• 1:13:32Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:13:33Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:13:33Speaker 05

  But it's, some of it is, I'm so excited to get the job and I'm more nervous about maybe the, you know, uh, making sure that the, the character, you're doing it right. So like when I did SNL, I was like, they could fire me. You know what I mean? Like we were doing the table read.

• 1:13:54Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:13:55Speaker 05

  Oh, you know what? They could just be like, yeah.

• 1:13:57Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:13:58Speaker 05

  We're not, we're not feeling it. We're gonna go a different way.

• 1:14:01Bobby Lee?

  I, I fucking hate table reads.

• 1:14:06Speaker 05

  Oh, I hate table reads.

• 1:14:08Bobby Lee?

  I hate them so much.

• 1:14:10Speaker 05

  They're so.

• 1:14:11Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:14:12Speaker 05

  I understand the value of it, but like, they're so fake.

• 1:14:16Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. I did a table read once. I said, shit take. Right? I go, yeah, you know, it should take. Right? And then everyone's laughing in the room. And then some guy just yells out, it's shiitake. Right? Like, not after, during. You know what I mean? And then now you're blushing.

• 1:14:38Speaker 05

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:14:39Bobby Lee?

  You, you blush and you go.

• 1:14:43Speaker 02

  Was he a white guy?

• 1:14:44Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:14:45Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:14:45Speaker 05

  He was a white guy.

• 1:14:46Bobby Lee?

  He was a white guy.

• 1:14:47Speaker 05

  Yeah. It was me.

• 1:14:49Speaker 02

  I know, it's my next guest.

• 1:14:50Speaker 05

  Yeah. No, um.

• 1:14:51Bobby Lee?

  I hate him.

• 1:14:53Speaker 05

  Yeah. Oh, so you, you know who that guy is?

• 1:14:55Bobby Lee?

  Who?

• 1:14:55Speaker 05

  That, that said shiitake.

• 1:14:57Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, we got.

• 1:14:58Speaker 05

  Well, but some of it is like, the, I don't even, I don't like the fact that the word read and read are spelled the same way.

• 1:15:06Bobby Lee?

  Dude.

• 1:15:08Speaker 05

  Why?

• 1:15:08Bobby Lee?

  Why? I never even thought about that, but why? Yeah, they gotta change it. Who's the, who's the, um, Warner Brothers, um, head of the president?

• 1:15:20Speaker 02

  Japanese guy?

• 1:15:20Bobby Lee?

  No, he's a white guy. Um, Joe Walsh, not Joe Walsh.

• 1:15:25Speaker 05

  He was in the Eagles.

• 1:15:27Bobby Lee?

  No, no.

• 1:15:28Speaker 02

  I know that reference.

• 1:15:28Speaker 04

  Joe Iamis? Is he like a?

• 1:15:30Bobby Lee?

  Let me see.

• 1:15:31Speaker 05

  Who, the guy from Warner Brothers?

• 1:15:33Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:15:33Speaker 04

  This guy?

• 1:15:35Bobby Lee?

  What's his name?

• 1:15:36Speaker 04

  Joe Hyamos?

• 1:15:37Bobby Lee?

  No, it's anyway.

• 1:15:38Speaker 03

  David Zaslove?

• 1:15:39Bobby Lee?

  What?

• 1:15:39Speaker 03

  David Zaslove?

• 1:15:40Bobby Lee?

  No, no, it's television. Anyway, um, he's like the president or whatever, back then. Anyway, he, I was on a show and the, so the, there's two tables, the cast table, and then there's fucking, you know, I mean, the industry writers, producers table, right?

• 1:15:55Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:15:56Bobby Lee?

  And they were s- attached. So you were literally like, like, they were right here. And the president of Warner Brothers was right there. And he would just go.

• 1:16:08Bobby Lee?

  And I'm just sitting there, you know what I mean?

• 1:16:09Speaker 05

  You're like, uh, the, the.

• 1:16:11Bobby Lee?

  You shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:16:13Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:16:13Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, and it was, it was, I just, and I remember going to one of the fucking producers and go, is there any way I could just move to the la- la- la- like, cha- cha- it's throwing me out, he's like, no, you, this is, you know, I go, oh, fuck, okay. I have to put lines between the words.

• 1:16:30Bobby Lee?

  You know why?

• 1:16:32Speaker 05

  Why? Cause you'll just speed through it?

• 1:16:33Bobby Lee?

  Yes. It reminds me to take my time.

• 1:16:37Speaker 05

  Oh, that's interesting.

• 1:16:39Bobby Lee?

  Really?

• 1:16:39Speaker 05

  Yeah, I think it's interesting.

• 1:16:41Bobby Lee?

  Yeah?

• 1:16:42Speaker 05

  Yeah, no, it's just.

• 1:16:43Bobby Lee?

  You, have you ever had a?

• 1:16:44Speaker 05

  Cause we're, also as stand-ups, we're spoiled by having complete control. And then in an acting situation, people are like, yeah, that was interesting.

• 1:16:57Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:16:58Speaker 05

  But this time, if you could do it the right way.

• 1:17:01Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. I mean, cause you, when you get an offer, you get offers, right? You don't read anymore, do you?

• 1:17:06Speaker 05

  I, I read occasionally.

• 1:17:07Bobby Lee?

  Me too, I read sometimes, yeah. But when you're offered, this is the worst, and the first day, they don't know exactly how you're gonna do it.

• 1:17:14Speaker 05

  Oh, yeah, yeah.

• 1:17:15Bobby Lee?

  And I hate that.

• 1:17:16Speaker 05

  Oh, yeah. No, I've heard about actors, they're like, I prefer to audition. I'm like, well, I don't prefer to.

• 1:17:22Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:17:23Speaker 05

  But like, when people are like, hey, we know what you're gonna do. And you're like, what am I gonna do? And they're like, do we know?

• 1:17:29Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:17:30Speaker 05

  And you're like, well, what do you mean? We saw, we saw this clip from thirty years ago. You're gonna do that? And I'm like, I've done a lot of different things.

• 1:17:39Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. It, it, yeah, you, you, you do the first take and you could see them in video villas, kind of frantically talking to each other.

• 1:17:46Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 1:17:47Bobby Lee?

  Right, right. Yeah, yeah, and like writing things, right? And you're like doing the scene, you're going, I'm doing it wrong.

• 1:17:53Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:17:54Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:17:54Speaker 05

  No.

• 1:17:54Bobby Lee?

  And they come up with notes. Yeah, well, I, it, yeah, it's, you know, he's just, your motivation's wrong. And I was like, can you just slow down?

• 1:18:02Speaker 05

  No, you're just, just, you're doing good.

• 1:18:04Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:18:06Speaker 05

  No, you know, also, you know, the thing is, is also like on TV shows when you're the guest star and like, the director can only direct you, so they over-direct you, because the stars are like, get away from me.

• 1:18:18Bobby Lee?

  Oh, right, right, right, right, right.

• 1:18:19Speaker 05

  And so then, as the guest star, they're like, I know you only have two words here, but I'd like you to emphasize the second one. Because I went to get a graduate degree in theater and now I'm earning a hundred thousand dollars a week directing a sitcom.

• 1:18:37Bobby Lee?

  I hate guest starring on three-camera sitcoms.

• 1:18:40Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:18:42Bobby Lee?

  I mean, Sean says a really good episode.

• 1:18:46Bobby Lee?

  And, you know, I'm guest starring, there's a door that opens, I have a couple of lines.

• 1:18:50Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:18:51Bobby Lee?

  And in my mind, I'm like, I ha- I, I can't think of it. I can't, what is it, right?

• 1:18:59Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:18:59Bobby Lee?

  And I just remember opening the door, and as soon as I open my mouth, I, in my mind, I'm like, it's, it comes out. It came out like, I kind of, hello, I'm not, you know, like, and they, you know, and they all, you know, they laugh. The audience laughs, and I go, ha, ha, ha, right? But as I'm resetting myself, I'm like, oh my god.

• 1:19:19Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:19:20Bobby Lee?

  It's a nightmare.

• 1:19:22Speaker 05

  It is such a whirlwind, right?

• 1:19:25Bobby Lee?

  It's a human nightmare. But then you get your groove.

• 1:19:29Speaker 05

  I think it's weird when you're doing stand-up and you do a joke that you've done five hundred times, and you go onstage and it just comes out differently, you're like, ah, I wasn't gonna say it like that.

• 1:19:40Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:19:41Speaker 05

  Do you know what I mean?

• 1:19:41Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I've done that before, yeah, yeah, too.

• 1:19:43Speaker 05

  You're like, I've never said that version of it, but...

• 1:19:46Bobby Lee?

  Well, it's like, you say it, but you don't think about it, it just, it's so like second nature. But then when you start thinking about, what word is that, that I use? Like, I don't know, it's a weird thing where, and then once I focus on the word that I don't know.

• 1:20:00Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:20:00Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean, it comes out weird. Anyway, do you have anything, your Hulu special?

• 1:20:04Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 1:20:05Bobby Lee?

  Oh, really quick. Yeah. I have this, um... Great clip. Let me see.

• 1:20:10Speaker 02

  Yeah, I like your voice.

• 1:20:11Speaker 05

  Oh, thank you.

• 1:20:12Speaker 02

  It has like a good like, um.

• 1:20:14Bobby Lee?

  Richard Jenny.

• 1:20:15Speaker 05

  Thank you. Oh, yeah, that's my first.

• 1:20:17Bobby Lee?

  Caroline's. Young. Wow.

• 1:20:20Speaker 05

  First TV set. Thank you.

• 1:20:22Bobby Lee?

  So different. Oh, my God. Can we listen to one, couple of jokes?

• 1:20:28Speaker 00

  All right, start laughing.

• 1:20:31Speaker 00

  That's good. You lead a messy. Let's go. Oh, wait.

• 1:20:40Speaker 00

  Let's go.

• 1:20:45Speaker 00

  Actually, that's what my dad would do. My dad would just demand that people have a good time. He'd just be like, just go out there and be in a good mood. He'd be like, Dad, it's a funeral.

• 1:20:55Speaker 00

  I don't care. Go over there and sma.

• 1:20:57Bobby Lee?

  Okay, Pushpa. Is it hard to watch?

• 1:20:59Speaker 05

  Um, it's, it's just so weird, cause like I, you know, that was my first TV set. I was so thrilled to get it.

• 1:21:08Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:21:08Speaker 05

  They had me go on last.

• 1:21:11Bobby Lee?

  Oh. Oh.

• 1:21:12Speaker 05

  I think I went on after Mario Cantone, who like.

• 1:21:15Bobby Lee?

  I, I know. I did Sex and the City with him.

• 1:21:18Speaker 05

  And who's just got like, he's a bundle of energy.

• 1:21:20Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:21:21Speaker 05

  And this is like, so in the nineties, and I remember thinking, I mean, it went well.

• 1:21:27Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:21:28Speaker 05

  But, uh, and I remember it's also cause my dad was alive and I'm like, Dad, I'm on Caroline's Comedy Hour. It's on A and E.

• 1:21:36Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:21:36Speaker 05

  It's gonna be on this day, Tuesday or whatever. And I called him next to me, he's like, I couldn't find the channel. Yeah, so it's just like, so funny. And so like, my stand-up was all about, I have a crazy dad.

• 1:21:51Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:21:52Speaker 05

  And now I'm like, I got crazy kids.

• 1:21:54Bobby Lee?

  Oh, wow. It's gone full circle. Did your dad ever see your success?

• 1:21:59Speaker 05

  He saw me on Letterman.

• 1:22:01Bobby Lee?

  Oh, that's huge.

• 1:22:02Speaker 05

  Yeah. And so like, there was an article in the, the local paper, where they took a photo of him holding my headshot.

• 1:22:12Speaker 05

  So.

• 1:22:12Bobby Lee?

  Sweet, that's good, good. So he got to see.

• 1:22:15Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:22:15Bobby Lee?

  Because a lot of people, parents, they don't get to see.

• 1:22:18Speaker 05

  No.

• 1:22:19Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, they're like, yeah, my son's doing comedy over there forty years in L.A. Hasn't made it yet. Yeah, yeah.

• 1:22:23Speaker 05

  And it is, it is so strange, right? Because it is, for so long, it's like, how's the comedy thing going? You're like this mental patient.

• 1:22:33Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:22:34Speaker 05

  Right? How are you, how are you doing with that? And then, and then eventually.

• 1:22:41Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:22:42Speaker 05

  Then there's a switch to like, I knew you could do it.

• 1:22:45Bobby Lee?

  Right.

• 1:22:46Speaker 05

  I knew you could do it. And then it's like, I wish people would stop asking me if I'm related to you.

• 1:22:54Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. I put my dad on Mad TV.

• 1:22:56Speaker 05

  You did? Oh, awesome.

• 1:22:58Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, and he got residual checks.

• 1:23:01Speaker 05

  Oh, sweet.

• 1:23:02Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, and.

• 1:23:02Speaker 05

  Hero status.

• 1:23:03Bobby Lee?

  He couldn't believe it, like, you know what I mean? Like, I got, I'm so grateful that I was, had that time so that he could see the fruits of all those years of worrying. Because you worry.

• 1:23:17Speaker 05

  Oh, my God.

• 1:23:17Bobby Lee?

  Like, if your kids wanted to do stand-up, would you support it or no?

• 1:23:19Speaker 05

  I mean, my, my eighteen-year-old does do it. He's, I've gone on tour with him. And it's, it's bananas. So like, you think you're nervous before a big show?

• 1:23:30Bobby Lee?

  Right.

• 1:23:30Speaker 05

  Imagine your son's going on, then you're going on.

• 1:23:34Bobby Lee?

  I can't imagine.

• 1:23:34Speaker 05

  Like, ah!

• 1:23:35Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:23:36Speaker 05

  So, yeah, so we're doing, uh, I'm doing, he's, his spring break, we're doing Lexington and,

• 1:23:45Speaker 05

  Owensboro and Knoxville and Chattanooga.

• 1:23:50Bobby Lee?

  And these are theaters.

• 1:23:52Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:23:52Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. Does he do ten minutes? What does he do?

• 1:23:55Speaker 05

  No, he does like seven.

• 1:23:56Bobby Lee?

  Seven minutes?

• 1:23:57Speaker 05

  And, uh, some of it, it's like, that's the whole thing, the grind. I don't know if he wants the grind. Because you have to.

• 1:24:04Bobby Lee?

  Grind.

• 1:24:05Speaker 05

  You have to like have kind of, there's no logic behind what we do.

• 1:24:11Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, also, you need, stand-up is a unique thing where you kind of need streak credibility. Like you have to, you, if comics don't see you grind, it's almost as if they're not like fully

• 1:24:24Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:24:25Bobby Lee?

  behind you.

• 1:24:25Speaker 05

  Well, authenticity.

• 1:24:27Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. You see a guy like Dave Attell, and you can see it all in his face.

• 1:24:34Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:24:34Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean?

• 1:24:34Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:24:35Bobby Lee?

  And, and all these guys, you know what I mean? I'm not that that Dave looks weathered, I'm not saying that, I'm just, he's a very handsome man. But my point is, is that you can just see that he went through it, you know? He is a little weird looking, yeah.

• 1:24:45Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:24:46Bobby Lee?

  A little mythological, you know what I mean?

• 1:24:47Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:24:47Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. But it's like, you, you, so your kid, you know, your son, like even the other Rock brothers, like, um, Tony Rock.

• 1:24:56Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:24:56Bobby Lee?

  Tony Rock, you know what I mean, didn't, Tony Rock, by the way, is so fucking funny now.

• 1:25:02Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:25:03Bobby Lee?

  He, I can't believe how funny he is. I mean, he really worked his way up, and now he's his own thing. But he couldn't slide on the Rock name.

• 1:25:11Speaker 05

  No, no, I think that might have been a burden.

• 1:25:15Bobby Lee?

  I think so, I think it is a burden, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:25:17Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:25:17Bobby Lee?

  And so it's like, when I see, you know what I mean, and also when comics have to reinvent themselves, like Theo, and he was a, he was an MTV Road Rules guy.

• 1:25:27Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:25:27Bobby Lee?

  And then one day he went, I'm gonna do this, and he had to reinvent and make his mark on his own.

• 1:25:35Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:25:35Bobby Lee?

  And it's fucking hard, man.

• 1:25:37Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:25:37Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. So, um, Jim, you wanna plug anything?

• 1:25:40Speaker 05

  Just, you know, um, I need hair plugs.

• 1:25:44Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:25:45Speaker 05

  Uh, no, The Skinny, um, I'm going on tour. Uh, when's this gonna drop?

• 1:25:50Bobby Lee?

  When's this gonna drop?

• 1:25:51Speaker 03

  Probably next week, if that's what you want.

• 1:25:52Speaker 05

  That would be great. So I'm going, I got some, uh, tour dates, we're, uh, in, uh, with, uh, this young comedian, Jerry Seinfeld.

• 1:26:02Bobby Lee?

  Oh, that's right.

• 1:26:03Speaker 05

  The new up and comer.

• 1:26:04Bobby Lee?

  Well, what, what's that like, by the way?

• 1:26:06Speaker 05

  It's, it's amazing. It's great.

• 1:26:09Bobby Lee?

  Incredible.

• 1:26:09Speaker 05

  Because they are

• 1:26:13Speaker 05

  It's, they are seeing, uh, you know, the audience is just in, in a, an electric mood. You know what I mean? Whereas like, I feel like people that come to my show, they're, they're, it's much more of a peer thing. Like, I don't, they're, they're like, yeah, Jim's my friend. Like, I don't consider people that enjoy my comedy fans. I consider like-minded people. Whereas with Jerry, he's this icon.

• 1:26:38Bobby Lee?

  Icon.

• 1:26:38Speaker 05

  You know what I mean?

• 1:26:39Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, it's, I, you know, when I go on with Andrew, it's different. You know, when we go on the road together, it's more of an event almost.

• 1:26:46Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:26:46Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, if you, there's more electricity and it's like, you know, I don't know, I, I wouldn't be able to even sell the tickets that on my own. You know what I mean? Without Andrew. I mean, we together are like a thing, you know what I mean?

• 1:26:58Speaker 05

  No, that's all.

• 1:26:58Bobby Lee?

  And, and he's, you know, I'm, I'm so intimidated by him. I've never met him. Like, even, even if I see Jerry Seinfeld, I'm like, I, I, I walk down the way, I just, I'm so intimidated.

• 1:27:07Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:27:07Bobby Lee?

  Is he not, he's super, you guys get along?

• 1:27:09Speaker 05

  He's nice. He's, he's very, uh, it's like, there's a nuts and bolts that he's been famous for so long. And he's, but he's also kind of like, yeah, I don't want to do that. You know what I mean? Or, do you know what I'm saying?

• 1:27:26Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:27:26Speaker 05

  Where he, um, but like, when you're with him, you realize, oh, he is, there's no anonymity.

• 1:27:36Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:27:37Speaker 05

• 1:29:24Speaker 05

  Yeah, but I think that's, that's kinda complicated, cause then, I don't know. I would never disagree with Bill. But, um.

• 1:29:35Bobby Lee?

  I know, I know.

• 1:29:35Speaker 05

  I, yeah, no, like, the, I, I find, like, I feel like I'm, I'm, I'm glad they did this party, but it, it is awkward. Like, I got there, I'm like, I gotta get a drink.

  Yeah, yeah. It was so awkward.

• 1:29:49Speaker 05

  Yeah.

  He gave me a 30 second deep hug. Here's my guy, you know what I mean? And he, I, I never felt that kinda love from him, because we were just like, what do we do? And there was a lot of people there.
