• 1:00Bobby Lee?

  So Dane did a documentary about his family. Can we say that?

• 1:07Speaker 02

  In particular, my older brother.

• 1:08Bobby Lee?

  Your older brother, yeah, yeah.

• 1:09Speaker 02

  My family's in it. There's another reason that people don't watch it. And it's because they two are criminals.

• 1:16Bobby Lee?

  No, no, no, that's not why, that's not why.

• 1:17Speaker 02

  They don't want to identify.

• 1:20Bobby Lee?

  I'll give you, dude. No, no, no.

• 1:49Speaker 00

  Dane had to yes and you so hard.

• 1:52Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I know, yeah.

• 1:53Speaker 02

  We'll fix it.

• 1:53Bobby Lee?

  I shouldn't be doing it today.

• 1:54Speaker 02

  I'll be fixed.

• 1:55Bobby Lee?

  I didn't sleep well last night. That was not a good job.

• 1:57Speaker 03

  You liked it, I liked it.

• 1:58Bobby Lee?

  I didn't like it.

• 1:59Speaker 02

  Why are you not sleeping well?

• 2:00Bobby Lee?

  The reaction wasn't good.

• 2:01Speaker 02

  Why are you not sleeping well? You're fucking living the life. You have great people around you. You have a beautiful soul.

• 2:06Bobby Lee?

  You think these people are around me all the time? They just got here.

• 2:07Speaker 02

  Speak, Dane.

• 2:08Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I never see these people.

• 2:09Speaker 03

  I see them every day.

• 2:10Bobby Lee?

  You see them more than I see.

• 2:13Speaker 02

  Hold my hand for a second.

• 2:14Bobby Lee?

  Okay.

• 2:14Speaker 02

  Now, fucking hand, don't fucking hit it.

• 2:17Bobby Lee?

  What is wrong with you today?

• 2:18Speaker 02

  Because I want to be connected with you.

• 2:19Bobby Lee?

  They're bonding.

• 2:19Speaker 02

  Because I feel like, I feel, I feel like Bobby and I lately, we've been, we've been at a different frequency. And even, there's another podcast.

• 2:27Bobby Lee?

  All right.

• 2:28Speaker 02

  And we had a little bit of a skirmish.

• 2:30Speaker 00

  Hey, can we say something?

• 2:31Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 2:31Speaker 00

  This whole team has watched it.

• 2:34Speaker 02

  You've watched the documentary?

• 2:35Speaker 00

  We have a lot of questions about your brother.

• 2:36Speaker 02

  Okay, we're gonna, we'll get into all of it, okay?

• 2:39Speaker 03

  I just want to say it's insane that the other team didn't.

• 2:43Bobby Lee?

  Oh, slam.

• 2:46Speaker 03

  I mean, I just feel like.

• 2:47Bobby Lee?

  Oh, slam, dude.

• 2:49Speaker 03

  You have a legend.

• 2:50Bobby Lee?

  Slam.

• 2:50Speaker 00

  Why would you not watch the documentary?

• 2:52Bobby Lee?

  I saw it.

• 2:53Speaker 00

  We have questions about Erica.

• 2:54Speaker 02

  I don't know if you've seen it.

• 2:55Bobby Lee?

  I did see it.

• 2:56Speaker 02

  Because if you'd seen it, you would have been saying, I need to talk about this fucking person or this particular thing. And you haven't said those things yet.

• 3:02Bobby Lee?

  But when I watch things, right, I multitask.

• 3:05Speaker 00

  She's like a duo. Like an iPhone duo.

• 3:07Speaker 02

  That when you're talking, you're doing lately.

• 3:09Bobby Lee?

  Pop, watch.

• 3:10Speaker 02

  Is this?

• 3:11Bobby Lee?

  You have a game.

• 3:12Speaker 02

  What is this thing where you crash your hands together?

• 3:14Bobby Lee?

  You get me insane. You drive me insane. You get me all riled up. Your energy, I want to say, I want to say about your energy. Your energy has been playful but aggressive.

• 3:24Speaker 00

  That's.

• 3:24Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, with chest out, right?

• 3:26Speaker 02

  You keep saying this chest out thing.

• 3:27Bobby Lee?

  A lot of this.

• 3:28Speaker 02

  I'm sorry, because you have a doll's chest. But this is what a chest looks like. A chest is usually out.

• 3:34Bobby Lee?

  Really?

• 3:35Speaker 02

  Yes. You have a concave chest.

• 3:37Bobby Lee?

  I have an American girl chest.

• 3:40Speaker 03

  Well.

• 3:41Bobby Lee?

  I was trying to think of a doll, and that was the only doll. Let me go, give me a, yeah, yeah. What, we'll give you.

• 3:47Speaker 03

  Go all the time.

• 3:47Bobby Lee?

  I have a Chucky chest.

• 3:50Speaker 03

  Teddy Rockford.

• 3:51Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, um, all right. So what you're saying is, okay, let's make amends. Let's find, let's, let's, um, let's introduce everyone in the room, all right? What, what's going on?

• 4:04Speaker 00

  No, I just looked up a concave chest. Those are tough.

• 4:06Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, those are tough. All right, so we have Ramsey Badawi here.

• 4:10Speaker 02

  Ramsey, good to see you.

• 4:11Speaker 03

  Good to see you, Dane.

• 4:12Bobby Lee?

  We have Luke Bilbo.

• 4:13Speaker 02

  Luke.

• 4:14Speaker 00

  Sure.

• 4:14Speaker 02

  Luke's parked my car. He's excellent. Three-point turn right over here.

• 4:18Speaker 00

  That's my specialty.

• 4:19Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 4:19Speaker 00

  Question, who tips better, Bobby or Dane at the Comedy Store? Everyone tips good. You're not very good.

• 4:25Speaker 02

  Oh, but some tip a little bit better than others.

• 4:29Speaker 00

  You know, I never keep track of it, really.

• 4:31Bobby Lee?

  Yes, you can say that Dane tips better than me if he does. Be honest with me. It won't hurt my feelings because I, I don't do it every time.

• 4:40Speaker 02

  Well, maybe there was a time I didn't tip.

• 4:41Speaker 00

  I'm not a tip tracker, really.

• 4:43Speaker 02

  Okay. I was gonna say, maybe one time I didn't tip and you were like, Dane didn't tip me at all. So I gotta, I gotta.

• 4:48Speaker 00

  I think it's about the vibes that you bring into the lot. If you're positive energy and you're like, because Ramsey did the same job. And I think it's like, if you're positive vibes, no tip. But if you're a huge, if you're like so.

• 4:58Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah. I think your guys' tips are on par with one another. It's just Dane doesn't put you in a headlock and throw you over.

• 5:05Speaker 00

  Dane doesn't stash his car into someone else's car.

• 5:08Speaker 03

  Dane isn't hitting you in the nuts and, you know, making you.

• 5:12Bobby Lee?

  Whoa.

• 5:14Speaker 02

  But wait a second. Can I, can I do, and you know what I like to do, Bobby? The second somebody makes a very strong point, point, counterpoint.

• 5:20Speaker 03

  Thanks.

• 5:20Speaker 02

  I fucking know I do that. And it drives you nuts.

• 5:23Bobby Lee?

  I love it.

• 5:23Speaker 02

  Can I point, counterpoint? Some, let's call them artists, Canadians are artists. Sometimes people are in their head. There's a lot that they bring to the day before they pull into that lot. And, and then maybe, even though there's tact, there's just tact. But maybe the line between tact and sometimes like, I'm going through some strife. I'm going through a dilemma. I'm going through some, something personal that when I pull into the lot, now this is the place where I can just come in and focus on what I'm here to do.

• 5:47Bobby Lee?

  Bone cancer, like bone cancer.

• 5:48Speaker 00

  Yeah. Why?

• 5:51Bobby Lee?

  No, no, no, no. Well, I was talking, no, because things are, people going through things.

• 5:55Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 5:55Bobby Lee?

  It could be bone cancer.

• 5:56Speaker 02

  If somebody pulled into the lot and they have bone cancer, then clearly you would, that you would bring in a bit of.

• 6:01Bobby Lee?

  I might not want to tip.

• 6:02Speaker 02

  You're not a good time Charlie if you're dealing with the bone.

• 6:04Speaker 00

  Are you saying? You're saying that when you don't tip, it's because you think you might have bone cancer.

• 6:08Bobby Lee?

  No, no, no, I'm just, no, I'm not saying me specifically.

• 6:11Speaker 00

  Oh, okay.

• 6:11Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, I never went, I'm going to pretend I have bone cancer. I'm just saying that if I happen to have bone cancer, right? And you're not privy to it, and I don't tip you, right? As well, that's why.

• 6:22Speaker 00

  Right. Okay, well, I'll keep track of that for now.

• 6:25Speaker 02

  Can I just, I want to put a button.

• 6:26Bobby Lee?

  I shouldn't have interrupted you because.

• 6:27Speaker 02

  No.

• 6:28Bobby Lee?

  No, no, no.

• 6:29Speaker 02

  No, you are actually. You are effort help.

• 6:31Bobby Lee?

  You were skiing?

• 6:31Speaker 02

  No.

• 6:32Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, you were.

• 6:33Speaker 02

  No, no.

• 6:33Bobby Lee?

  You were skiing, right? And I'm like a log.

• 6:35Speaker 02

  You know what I am? I'm like a notebook and you're like a highlighter. And that's what you do. Sometimes I feel like I can see the yellow highlight.

• 6:41Bobby Lee?

  That's what exactly I'm doing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm taking notes for you.

• 6:43Speaker 02

  And specifically.

• 6:45Bobby Lee?

  I'm honing in on, yeah, yeah, I'm honing in on what you're, yeah, yeah.

• 6:49Speaker 03

  Is this fighting or not?

• 6:50Speaker 02

  The book, no.

• 6:51Speaker 00

  Yeah, I can't tell.

• 6:52Bobby Lee?

  We can't tell. Let me say something, kids.

• 6:54Speaker 00

  We can't tell.

• 6:55Bobby Lee?

  We're from a generation, this is how we talk.

• 6:58Speaker 03

  Well, we're Gen Z, we don't get it.

• 7:00Bobby Lee?

  This is how ideas are formed. This is how relationships are petrified.

• 7:03Speaker 02

  This is almost like a think tank.

• 7:05Bobby Lee?

  Right.

• 7:05Speaker 02

  By way of anarchy. It's like, there's always a little bit of a vitriol and a little bit of a verbal skirmishing. And sometimes, sometimes there's a melee.

• 7:13Bobby Lee?

  Right, that's sometimes, right.

• 7:14Speaker 02

  But you know why?

• 7:14Bobby Lee?

  A tit for tat.

• 7:15Speaker 02

  It's, it's because there's so much, or tat for tit. I, I.

• 7:18Bobby Lee?

  Or an olay, or an olay.

• 7:20Speaker 00

  Ooh.

• 7:20Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sometimes I do an olay, yeah.

• 7:22Speaker 02

  But can I now bring it back and just finish this?

• 7:24Bobby Lee?

  You can go, how about this? Bring it back, go forward, backwards, and then bring it back again.

• 7:27Speaker 02

  Not every comedian, I think, I think, is walking in with just like that sort of like openness about them. Because I think a lot of the comics that you, fair to say, that you deal with are probably high-level people. And then they're, they're walking into a high-level situation and they want to do the best that they can. And when they leave, you might be saying, but Dane Cook, why aren't they on the way out chilled out and being more like top of the morning to you? Because maybe they didn't live up to the expectations they had pulling into the lot. You guys need to chill the fuck out on.

• 7:55Bobby Lee?

  Chill the fuck out.

• 7:56Speaker 02

  Just bark the car.

• 7:57Speaker 00

  I said it was chill.

• 7:59Bobby Lee?

  No, no, no, we're on your side, Dane. We're on your side.

• 8:01Speaker 02

  Oh, shit.

• 8:02Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, you're on your side. You're against, you're against me.

• 8:04Speaker 03

  You're against you.

• 8:05Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're against me.

• 8:06Speaker 02

  What you don't realize is everybody that pulls into that lot is in a fucking ambulance that they are driving themselves to. And they're hoping to heal themselves by way of stand-up comedy.

• 8:14Bobby Lee?

  And what you don't understand is if you go against me, you go against him.

• 8:17Speaker 03

  I just learned that.

• 8:18Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, that's what you don't understand, right? Because him and I went to war together.

• 8:21Speaker 00

  Did you guys, were you guys at the Comedy Store at the same time, like in your?

• 8:24Bobby Lee?

  No, we were never, we were never at the Comedy Store. He was at the Laugh, I was at the store, right? But we had like, you know, communicate.

• 8:30Speaker 03

  But you guys had your places that you would meet though, right? Like Dublin's and all those.

• 8:33Bobby Lee?

  I don't know what kind of Persian fucking black magic you're doing right here with your hands, dude, but I'm just fucking.

• 8:37Speaker 00

  Persian black magic.

• 8:38Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I've seen it in the fucking, there's documentaries about it, about West Bank and all that stuff. Just stop doing it. Yeah, yeah.

• 8:44Speaker 03

  Let's not get.

• 8:45Bobby Lee?

  I know, I don't have an, you know, I have my beliefs, I don't share, but anyway, you know.

• 8:49Speaker 02

  We've crossed paths a lot. Bobby Lee and I have, we've been on shows together all around town. I, I mean, sometimes I'm at the store, he's been at the factory. For the most part, we're in our little camp.

• 8:59Bobby Lee?

  And then Dublin's where we met.

• 9:01Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 9:01Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, at Tuesdays, we would be at Dublin's.

• 9:03Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 9:03Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, that's how we, so he would do Dublin. Have you heard of it?

• 9:06Speaker 02

  He'd crush.

• 9:07Speaker 03

  Dublin is legendary.

• 9:08Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 9:09Speaker 00

  What is it?

• 9:09Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 9:09Speaker 03

  For the audience, what is it?

• 9:10Bobby Lee?

  Oh, okay, well, you wanna?

• 9:12Speaker 02

  Sunset Boulevard.

• 9:14Bobby Lee?

  Well, you do a line, I do a line.

• 9:15Speaker 02

  Okay, ready?

• 9:16Speaker 03

  What is this, improv?

• 9:17Bobby Lee?

  Fuck you, dude. Dave and I are from fucking back in the 2000s.

• 9:21Speaker 02

  The years, the years was 2001, 2 and 3.

• 9:24Bobby Lee?

  Exactly, dude, right, so.

• 9:26Speaker 02

  Sunset Boulevard.

• 9:27Bobby Lee?

  Right, Irish bar.

• 9:29Speaker 03

  Oh, you're trying, he's just trying to.

• 9:32Bobby Lee?

  Do it again, do it again, I can't.

• 9:34Speaker 02

  The year was 2001, 2 and 3.

• 9:36Bobby Lee?

  It was a beautiful Irish bar.

• 9:37Speaker 02

  Sunset Boulevard, in its heyday, comedy on the uptick.

• 9:41Bobby Lee?

  At 8 o'clock, Tuesday night, second floor.

• 9:43Speaker 02

  Free show, booth carved out of a corner turned into a makeshift stage, lights.

• 9:48Bobby Lee?

  Audience, Johnson Timberlake, Cameron Diaz, the everyone.

• 9:51Speaker 03

  What? Wait, celebrities at that? At a free show?

• 9:53Bobby Lee?

  Oh dude, dude, the first time I played Dublin's, I got offstage and all I saw was business cards.

• 10:00Speaker 03

  Oh.

• 10:00Bobby Lee?

  And you pick them and it's like, you know what I mean, brillsting gray, I mean, just like.

• 10:04Speaker 02

  Hand this to Dane, they were saying, hand this to Dane.

• 10:08Speaker 03

  Here my card.

• 10:09Bobby Lee?

  And I had my little poppy book that I gave you at the end, here's all the business cards.

• 10:13Speaker 02

  He would come in, so Bobby's crushing and I'm figuring, I'm thinking, my standup's starting to figure it out. And then something happened on this free show on Tuesday nights with a lot of beautiful women and a lot of cool dudes. And here's what happened to me one night. I went into Dublin's, I said, all, everybody's crushing. And Jay wants me, Jay Davis, who started the night with, um, I'm at a med. And he put me on last and I went out on the balcony, I looked at Sunset Boulevard one night and I was just standing out there, I was like, man, how can I, how do I take this up a notch when I'm going up again, Murders Row, okay, all night? And then I, I looked at Sunset Boulevard and I went, wait a second. I said, this town, I'm standing by myself on that balcony overlooking the front, right? And I go, this town is not a comedy town. This town was built on rock and roll.

• 10:58Speaker 02

  Sunset Boulevard from Motley Crue on back in the 70s and all that, like, I said, I need to be rock and roll. I need to start thinking of this, not like, this isn't New York City standup, this is something else. And then I went up that night and, I don't know, I just, something else I figured out, something else was in that room.

• 11:16Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 11:16Speaker 02

  And it really helped me to build out.

• 11:18Bobby Lee?

  You were a crusher, you were a crusher before that.

• 11:20Speaker 02

  I was taking it to the limit.

• 11:21Bobby Lee?

  As if you were on that balcony, all fucking thighs opened up and you got a fucking comedy electricity.

• 11:25Speaker 03

  No, but he went to the next level.

• 11:26Speaker 02

  Metaphor, Bobby, okay? I'm giving a metaphor example.

• 11:29Bobby Lee?

  I know what I'm saying.

• 11:30Speaker 02

  But I did do that.

• 11:31Bobby Lee?

  I know, but you already had it, you already that, the guy, right? I mean, coming up to the balcony going, you know what I mean, and like, having a fucking Ram Dass, you know what I mean?

• 11:39Speaker 03

  That was.

• 11:39Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, Ram Dass spiritual experience, oh, I'm, I'm at Cartole. I'm at Cartole, power of now, we have to live in the moment, I'm Mike Destiny, what the fuck are you talking about? Wow, do you, dude, your chest all high, right?

• 11:52Speaker 03

  My chest isn't high.

• 11:54Bobby Lee?

  Sometimes you're wrong, go ahead, add your, you guys have to shit, man.

• 11:58Speaker 03

  So.

• 12:00Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, go, yeah, add in, dude.

• 12:02Speaker 03

  And.

• 12:03Speaker 02

  I feel like everyone's looking at my chest, every time Bobby says, my chest all high.

• 12:08Speaker 03

  It's a very pack heavy episode.

• 12:09Bobby Lee?

  It, it, well, it's a pecky, yeah. So listen.

• 12:12Speaker 02

  You're just riding the fucking, you're just riding the life, you're over there, oh, it's getting a little hot on the fucking.

• 12:17Bobby Lee?

  I'm kidding, I'm sure you had that experience.

• 12:19Speaker 02

  I, I did have the experience.

• 12:20Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I apologize for even downgrading.

• 12:21Speaker 02

  I apologize for your apologies, listen, we're all good, we're friendly, the point is that we turned a corner at Dublin's. And, and we knew each other and I knew that he was on his way and I felt like I was on my way as well.

• 12:31Bobby Lee?

  Well, I didn't feel like I was on my way.

• 12:32Speaker 03

  Yeah, I'm curious, when you came to LA, were you like, were you familiar with Bobby? Did you, were you like?

• 12:37Speaker 02

  Why is Bobby breathing like he just ran the fucking special?

• 12:42Speaker 03

  He did a cak, the whole thing.

• 12:45Bobby Lee?

  I just get emotional, go ahead.

• 12:48Bobby Lee?

  Okay, go ahead.

• 12:50Speaker 03

  I was just curious, if you, were you, were you like aware of Bobby? Or like, did you guys meet here? Like, what was your?

• 12:54Speaker 02

  I don't remember the first time I saw Bobby's set, but I do remember watching him and I'd been doing enough standup and I'd gone through the gauntlet of New York where you, you could point at somebody and you could go, that person, if they figure it out, that they're going, they're going.

• 13:09Bobby Lee?

  I was, I hadn't figured it out completely, I had not figured it out.

• 13:12Speaker 03

  You hadn't had your balcony moment.

• 13:14Bobby Lee?

  Oh, fuck.

• 13:15Speaker 03

  See?

• 13:16Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, you know what? Maybe that's the thing, I don't have a balcony moment. They should open my heart up. You know what I'm gonna do?

• 13:23Speaker 03

  Your chest.

• 13:24Bobby Lee?

  I'll tell you what I'm gonna do, dude.

• 13:25Speaker 02

  Go ahead, Bobby.

• 13:27Bobby Lee?

  I'm gonna, I'm gonna go to the roof of the Comedy Store.

• 13:30Speaker 03

  Maybe don't.

• 13:31Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 13:32Speaker 03

  No.

• 13:32Bobby Lee?

  Where all the leaves are, I'm gonna sit on the edge, right by the billboard, by the new billboard.

• 13:36Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah.

• 13:36Bobby Lee?

  And just dangling my feet over the fucking edge, right? Open my arms and go, may I have a Dane Cook experience, please? And I'll sit there, I will sit there for days until I get one.

• 13:48Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 13:49Bobby Lee?

  Okay, and that's what I'm gonna do, right, so I can have an experience like you, friend, all right? Listen, guy. I know, I, Madison Square Garden, I know all of it, you know?

• 14:01Bobby Lee?

  What? You're making fun of my speech impediment?

• 14:02Speaker 02

  Oh boy.

• 14:03Bobby Lee?

  Oh, here we go, kiddo, yeah?

• 14:05Speaker 03

  No.

• 14:05Bobby Lee?

  You like to bully your elders?

• 14:06Speaker 03

  No, no, no, no, I have respect for my elders.

• 14:08Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, sometimes I have a speech impediment. You like to bow?

• 14:11Speaker 03

  We're both bowing.

• 14:12Bobby Lee?

  Okay.

• 14:12Speaker 03

  To our elder.

• 14:13Bobby Lee?

  All right, so.

• 14:14Speaker 03

  To sign our respect.

• 14:14Bobby Lee?

  See, back then, you'd never bowed to me because you weren't racist.

• 14:19Bobby Lee?

  That's what we didn't have in the early 2000s, is bowing.

• 14:22Speaker 02

  I did not bow.

• 14:23Bobby Lee?

  He didn't, he never bowed, he never did any, you know what I mean? He never did an accent in front of me. You know, this is a white comic, right, that's, you know, a good white.

• 14:32Speaker 03

  He is.

• 14:33Bobby Lee?

  You know, and I want to celebrate good whites today.

• 14:35Speaker 02

  Oh, okay.

• 14:36Bobby Lee?

  Right? And let's celebrate them, and let's list them, let's list the, let's go around the room and list the good whites that Dane's a part of. I'm gonna start, okay? Schindler.

• 15:27Speaker 03

  That group's.

• 15:28Bobby Lee?

  No, no, no, no, you understand, as a minority, it really is a comp.

  What's up? I'm Sam Salem and this is my new podcast, After School Snack with All Things Comedy, a show where my friends tell me a beloved childhood snack. And despite my terrible cooking skills, I make it from scratch, which sometimes leads to reactions like this. Does it taste just like your mom's? No. It tastes like [BLEEP]. But other times reactions like this. Mmm, this is really good. I'm really, I have hard to lie to you. And I'd like to say that I'm a pretty well-researched guy, but don't take my word for it. See what my guests have to say. You the fans?

• 21:22Speaker 03

  And Nick Smith.

• 21:22Speaker 02

  From the I Never Liked You podcast.

• 21:24Speaker 03

  And we are two best friends.

• 21:26Speaker 02

  Friends.

• 21:27Speaker 03

  We are two work colleagues who happen to have a podcast where we bicker, banter.

• 21:34Speaker 02

  Argue.

• 21:35Speaker 03

  Complain.

• 21:36Speaker 02

  And laugh.

• 21:37Speaker 03

  Well.

• 21:38Speaker 02

  Well.

• 21:39Speaker 03

  We try and solve world hunger.

• 21:42Speaker 02

  I thought you were gonna say mysteries.

• 21:44Speaker 03

  And we solve mysteries.

• 21:45Speaker 02

  We solve mysteries.

• 21:46Speaker 03

  Are we the Scooby Doo gang?

• 21:47Speaker 02

  We are.

• 21:47Speaker 03

  We also discuss topics anywhere from pop culture, what's happening right now, to.

• 21:52Speaker 02

  Our personal lives.

• 21:53Speaker 03

  And who we think is gay.

• 21:57Speaker 03

  We drop new episodes every Thursday on whatever platform you watch or listen to podcasts. Something that was stolen from you.

• 22:04Bobby Lee?

  Hmm, oh, yeah. Okay, so let's get into the, okay, so.

• 22:07Speaker 02

  We do have a lot of questions specifically.

• 22:08Bobby Lee?

  We do have a lot of questions. So raise your hand if you saw Funny Money.

• 22:13Speaker 03

  Great movie. By the way, I got a scre- can I say this? Dane, let me say this. I got a screener. Your screener? Still rented it.

• 22:18Speaker 00

  I rented it too.

• 22:19Speaker 02

  He did rent it.

• 22:20Speaker 00

  I rented it too.

• 22:21Bobby Lee?

  More money in your pocket.

• 22:22Speaker 00

  Yeah, I was like, you know what? I'm gonna help, I'm gonna help him out. I got you, bro.

• 22:26Speaker 03

  I may have paid you more money than your brother.

• 22:28Speaker 00

  Yeah, I sauced you some four bucks. I was like.

• 22:30Speaker 02

  The strange thing about when you go through something like this, that's so public, is the amount of people that reach out and want to basically give you money. Here's an example. I just did a show in Reno and the guy writes me after, this guy DMs me. He's a big deal. I don't wanna say who he is, just in case he doesn't want me to put him on the block. Big deal. And he says, hey, if I can meet you and take a picture, I have something I wanna give you. And we go over to him, take a picture, and he goes, listen, I wanna give you five grand and I just wanna take a picture with you and go into the blackjack. And he goes, and whatever you win in two hands, I just want you to keep it.

• 23:01Bobby Lee?

  No!

• 23:02Speaker 02

  I swear.

• 23:03Bobby Lee?

  I've never gotten that.

• 23:04Speaker 02

  So we walk in, walk into the, the high limits room. I go, what's the rule? He goes, the rule is you have to play two hands, 2,500 each, and then you get to keep whatever. First hand, lay it down. I hit a 20. Dealer has zip. Second hand, I do one of those things where it's like, two, three, five, one, two, two, and then I get 19. Dealer busts.

• 23:24Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 23:24Bobby Lee?

  Whoa.

• 23:25Speaker 02

  And the guy, I go, I said to the guy, I go, what do I get to keep? He goes, just give me my cup of eight grand back in my pocket. And, and more and more people have reached out and I'm getting, some of them, I didn't even reply, but like people that are like, I just wanna help you and some, I'm like, I'm okay. I just want you to know that. Like, I went back on tour, a lot has happened since this time. But it really does open up the, the idea that people are like, I just wanna be a part. That's so unfair that happened to you, that I wanna be a part of some kind of like, almost the way people wanna do a GoFundMe, even though you're like, okay, this person, their tree fort burnt down, right, in Encino? And they do like the evening news, they go, they set up a GoFundMe. They just need to raise 22,480,000 dollars later. It's like overkill. And I kinda feel like this is one of those moments where people are reaching out.

• 24:09Bobby Lee?

  So don't give Dane any money.

• 24:11Speaker 02

  Don't give.

• 24:11Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. He has enough. He has enough. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So Funny Money, um, do you have questions about the, the program?

• 24:17Speaker 03

  Plenty of questions.

• 24:18Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. So let me, can I?

• 24:20Speaker 02

  You can ask me anything. I, there's no limits on what I'll talk about, what you can ask. You know, there's, some people get like, oh, I don't know, should I bring that up? Go for it, whatever you want.

• 24:28Speaker 00

  How much money is in your bank account right?

• 24:29Speaker 02

  Why would you fucking ask? That is some bullshit. That is some fucking bullshit as I've ever heard it.

• 24:36Bobby Lee?

  Alright, so, and everything's on the line.

• 24:40Bobby Lee?

  Everything's on the line.

• 24:40Speaker 00

  You said it's all, we can ask anything.

• 24:42Bobby Lee?

  And so, um, go ahead, Ramsey, give, give him a quest. Well, no, let me, let me, let me, let me put the bad, because me, people might not, let me educate people.

• 24:51Speaker 02

  Give him the, the synopsis and speed date them up to now.

• 24:54Bobby Lee?

  So Dane's a stand-up.

• 24:55Speaker 02

  Yes. Thirty-five years.

• 24:58Bobby Lee?

  We start there.

• 24:58Speaker 00

  Start from the beginning.

• 24:59Bobby Lee?

  He's from Boston.

• 25:00Speaker 02

  Boston, Massachusetts, Arlington.

• 25:02Bobby Lee?

  That's pretty much all I know. That's pretty much all I know.

• 25:03Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 25:04Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 25:06Speaker 00

  Upper poor.

• 25:07Bobby Lee?

  But anyway, yeah, some movies. But, um, so Dane, um, did a documentary about his family. Can we say that?

• 25:17Speaker 02

  In particular, my older brother.

• 25:18Bobby Lee?

  Your older brother. Yeah, yeah. And, um.

• 25:20Speaker 02

  My family's in it.

• 25:21Bobby Lee?

  Your family's in it. And your brother, um, did something to you.

• 25:24Speaker 02

  Yeah, bad guy, nefarious.

• 25:25Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, nefarious.

• 25:26Speaker 02

  Thief in the night.

• 25:27Bobby Lee?

  No, yeah. And Dane, um, made a documentary called Funny Money.

• 25:30Speaker 02

  That's right.

• 25:31Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, um, telling this, you know, I mean, foreboding story.

• 25:35Speaker 02

  It's the Empire Strikes Back moment of my life and career. It's the fucking middle area where everything gets real rough and tumbly, real bad. There's a little bit of the.

• 25:46Bobby Lee?

  What am I, what am I doing?

• 25:47Speaker 02

  You're, you're putting somebody a headlock?

• 25:49Bobby Lee?

  No, no, no. What am I doing?

• 25:50Speaker 02

  You're trying to hold your fist back? It's a snake in your hand.

• 25:53Bobby Lee?

  He said Empire Strikes, he said Empire Strikes.

• 25:53Speaker 02

  Empire Strikes Back!

• 25:55Speaker 00

  It's the robot hand. It's like, uh.

• 25:56Bobby Lee?

  Oh, yeah.

• 25:57Speaker 02

  Oh, this.

• 25:58Bobby Lee?

  Oh, what he says.

• 26:00Speaker 02

  Oh, yeah. Luke loses the hand when.

• 26:02Bobby Lee?

  Let's move on. It's too late.

• 26:04Speaker 02

  That derailed.

• 26:05Bobby Lee?

  It derailed it. It derailed it. You know what I mean? The timing was off.

• 26:08Speaker 02

  Well, in all fairness.

• 26:08Bobby Lee?

  Dane didn't get involved.

• 26:09Speaker 02

  This thing that you were doing, it was a little much.

• 26:12Bobby Lee?

  You said Empire Strikes Back, so I did that hand thing, guy.

• 26:15Speaker 02

  You could've said, he told me you killed him. Then instead, you just started doing this thing with a nub.

• 26:21Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 26:21Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. Okay.

• 26:23Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 26:24Bobby Lee?

  I'm gonna do other Empire Strikes Back, get references?

• 26:27Speaker 02

  Yeah, go for it.

• 26:28Bobby Lee?

  No, in, I'm gonna sprinkle it in the fucking thing, okay?

• 26:30Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 26:31Bobby Lee?

  Okay, so, alright, so anyway, go ahead.

• 26:33Speaker 02

  The Empire Strikes Back. I thought, if I'm gonna tell this story, I want it to be gritty and I want it to be sort of, uh, dark. And I still want it to be funny. I want it to be the funniest true crime documentary out there. That was my goal many years ago, before I even thought I could tell the story. It was like, how do I even fucking get this off my heart? It was killing me. It was like, something I, I, I was like, people don't see me for me because I had this thing happen and I need to present it. And that's what the documentary is.

• 27:00Bobby Lee?

  I thought they smelled bad on the outside.

• 27:02Speaker 02

  That is, um, wait, Star Wars?

• 27:05Bobby Lee?

  Empire Strikes Back.

• 27:06Speaker 02

  Han Solo.

• 27:07Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, with a tauntaun in the beginning.

• 27:08Speaker 02

  With a tauntaun, that's right.

• 27:10Bobby Lee?

  And he crawls in, right, right, to survive, oh no, he puts Luke in there.

• 27:14Speaker 02

  That's right.

• 27:14Bobby Lee?

  Right?

• 27:15Speaker 02

  And he uses the lightsaber.

• 27:16Bobby Lee?

  Right.

• 27:16Speaker 02

  Han holds the lightsaber.

• 27:18Bobby Lee?

  And then his funny line.

• 27:20Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 27:20Bobby Lee?

  I thought they smelled bad on the outside. Well, yeah, you put the inflection emotional.

• 27:25Speaker 02

  I did a little Harrison Ford.

• 27:26Bobby Lee?

  Anyway, so Funny Money?

• 27:27Speaker 00

  Were you thinking about it the whole time?

• 27:31Speaker 02

  Wait, can I, can I do a quick impersonation right here? Just Luke right here, ready?

• 27:34Bobby Lee?

  Okay.

• 27:34Speaker 02

  This, I don't do a lot of impersonations, but I got one. It's masterful. This is Harrison Ford's mouth in anything that he ever does. You ready?

• 27:40Bobby Lee?

  Oh, yeah.

• 27:40Speaker 02

  Okay, ready?

• 27:41Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 27:44Speaker 00

  It's good.

• 27:45Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, that's so good.

• 27:46Speaker 02

  That is the.

• 27:46Bobby Lee?

  It's so good. It is good. That's what he does. Yeah, that's what he does. Yeah. Okay, stop.

• 27:52Speaker 02

  Cut some of this, but use the best pieces.

• 27:54Bobby Lee?

  Oh.

• 27:55Speaker 02

  Cut it down.

• 27:56Bobby Lee?

  We'll cut it down.

• 27:57Speaker 00

  Okay, I, I do have a question.

• 27:59Speaker 02

  Go for it.

• 27:59Speaker 00

  Jumping into like, there's this moment in the documentary, I don't know if this is like a spoiler or whatever.

• 28:03Speaker 02

  Did you use ChatGPT for this or are these questions that you really came up with on your own?

• 28:07Speaker 00

  No, these are questions that I really came up with my own brain. You'll know because they're not very good.

• 28:10Bobby Lee?

  Okay.

• 28:11Speaker 00

  There's, there was a moment where you check your bank account.

• 28:14Speaker 02

  Yeah, yes.

• 28:14Speaker 00

  And that's a huge moment in the film.

• 28:16Speaker 02

  Best moment, probably.

• 28:17Speaker 00

  That means that up until this point, you never checked your bank account? You never check?

• 28:23Speaker 02

  That's right.

• 28:23Bobby Lee?

  I, I, I'm the same way.

• 28:24Speaker 00

  You're a never check guy?

• 28:26Bobby Lee?

  No, I wa- I was until recently.

• 28:28Speaker 00

  Because like, was there a moment where you just?

• 28:30Speaker 02

  You know, are you guys familiar with fraud and forgery?

• 28:32Speaker 00

  Sure.

• 28:32Speaker 02

  Okay, so what my brother did, so, and this is tricky to say this because I have a, I have to give it to him in this sense, even though he's a bad criminal. Smartly, he made, uh, Word documents and Excel sheets that looked very much like actual, uh, consolidated statements that you would look at if you were looking at your financials by way of a family member who's presenting them to you. In other words, I have to look at 90 pages and go, the MX bill is this. He would put everything in one place and it looked, and it's in the documentary. It looked very professional. So did I look in my bank account? No. But was I looking at monthly statements thinking that I was? Yes.

• 29:15Speaker 03

  So he was a pretty smart guy. Cause, cause it's an interesting, he goes from being a prison warden who gets stabbed in the head, basically.

• 29:21Speaker 02

  Not a warden, that's the guy that runs the whole thing.

• 29:23Speaker 03

  The guard. Was a guard.

• 29:25Bobby Lee?

  Was a Shawshank Redemption?

• 29:26Speaker 03

  He's a guard.

• 29:27Bobby Lee?

  A warden.

• 29:34Speaker 00

  He's a guard. He's a guard. He gets beat. You, you very graciously and, and, and throughout the movie, by the way, it's incredible how kind you are to him and his whole family. You bring him in and

• 29:46Speaker 02

  And he comes to work for me.

• 29:47Speaker 00

  He comes to do, he comes

• 29:48Speaker 02

  Quit the prison. Why get attacked by inmates on a Saturday night when you can be at a ha ha chuckle someplace.

• 29:54Speaker 00

  By the way, not even a hot, he was just working from Boston and you would be all over the country or wherever.

• 29:58Speaker 02

  I told him, you stay home, you take care of your son. I'm going to go out there. I will not only, I had to make enough wage to then get a benefits package that covered him the way the state of Massachusetts covered him. So I had to work that hard to get that level of umbrella policy to cover my brother.

• 30:15Speaker 00

  I was blown away by how good he was. I mean, I don't know if it was good or if it was just your trust, but it was like, he was able to pull off pretty sophisticated stuff. Was he a smart guy? Was that his?

• 30:24Bobby Lee?

  Of course he was a smart guy. He's a cook.

• 30:26Speaker 00

  Well, I don't know.

• 30:27Speaker 02

  No, he's a Macaulay. That's the whole thing. See, if you watch the documentary. He's not my full brother, Bobby. He's not my full brother. He has a different father.

• 30:37Speaker 00

  Literally didn't have to say anything.

• 30:41Speaker 02

  He's a Macaulay of the Macaulay lineage. And I'm Dane Cook and my father has a fucking chest like me.

• 30:48Bobby Lee?

  Dane, say, I love you to me.

• 30:49Speaker 02

  I love you, Bobby.

• 30:50Bobby Lee?

  I know.

• 30:51Speaker 02

  And you know.

• 30:52Bobby Lee?

  What's that from?

• 30:53Speaker 02

  Oh, that's Han Solo with Princess Leia. I like that. I like the little segues.

• 31:00Bobby Lee?

  See when there's heat on me, dude, I do a Star Trek. A Star Trek reference?

• 31:04Speaker 00

  Yeah, Star Wars.

• 31:05Bobby Lee?

  Just reference. Dude, just that specific movie. How smart am I? I did three references to that specific movie.

• 31:10Speaker 02

  Yeah, but Daryl is Daryl Macaulay.

• 31:11Bobby Lee?

  Okay.

• 31:12Speaker 02

  And I'm Dane Cook.

• 31:13Speaker 00

  Reference this movie?

• 31:13Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, we're referencing this one.

• 31:18Bobby Lee?

  Wait, him?

• 31:19Speaker 02

  We're quoting this. Lip it!

• 31:23Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. Okay, good one, Rams.

• 31:25Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 31:25Bobby Lee?

  You will not be opening for me anymore.

• 31:29Bobby Lee?

  So, so go ahead.

• 31:30Speaker 02

  So because, because Daryl was a Macaulay and I'm a cook, I sort of was like, hey, you know what? His little whatever you call it, picadillo. So the things that made him sort of a little bit different. He sort of had his way of doing things. I had mine, but I grew up with him and I did trust him. I trusted him with everything. I trusted him with my whole heart.

• 31:47Bobby Lee?

  He looks like an accountant. Look at him.

• 31:49Speaker 02

  I trusted him with my business. I trusted him with my dreams. And so this documentary, I think, is like where comedy and tragedy absolutely are intersecting in my life.

• 32:00Speaker 00

  Do you think something happened when he was like injured at the prison that like changed his kind of personality or yeah, brain chemistry?

• 32:07Speaker 02

  Well, let me ask you this. Do you think that you could get bonked on the head and that would, that would change not only your, the entirety of how, how you sort of like circumvent other people, the relationships you have with them, but you would then have to almost go back in your mind and go, okay, I know I'm fucked up because of this injury, but all the, the memories that I have that I continue to celebrate with my brother, it's not like I could look at him and go, you're different about our mom's birthday or you're different about when we recollect about. So that would be a very specific brain injury to go, I'm only injured for the future and I'm not injured in hindsight. So, no, I definitely think that they

• 32:47Speaker 00

  But have you seen the lady that got bonked in the head and then she started speaking with a Chinese accent?

• 32:52Speaker 02

  That's, and I want to talk about her because I've been, I've been

• 32:56Bobby Lee?

  Please, please.

• 32:56Speaker 02

  Yeah, I've seen, yeah. I've been in

• 32:59Bobby Lee?

  For the people?

• 32:59Speaker 00

  Your headphones on?

• 33:00Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 33:03Speaker 00

  It's, there's a little mute button right there that you

• 33:05Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 33:06Speaker 06

  I'm right here in Vienna. About five years ago now, I had a stroke-like event. There's still some

• 33:15Speaker 00

  This is your brother? I don't believe this. This is your half brother? Sorry if that's offensive, but I

• 33:18Bobby Lee?

  You know what's scary? She does a better Asian accent than I do.

• 33:21Speaker 02

  It's pretty good. That's the problem.

• 33:22Speaker 06

  Was have changed my brain activity.

• 33:26Bobby Lee?

  All right, push pause.

• 33:26Speaker 02

  Yeah, she's not just Chinese. She's

• 33:28Bobby Lee?

  Now everyone do their favorite Chinese accent. Okay. And Ramsay, go.

• 33:31Speaker 00

  I don't think so, buddy.

• 33:32Bobby Lee?

  All right, anyway. Yeah, so.

• 33:33Speaker 02

  I'm really uncomfortable doing a Chinese accent, but I will. Oh, I want you to take my money. I feel terrible doing that. No, no. I know her actually. She's actually part of my legal counsel.

• 33:48Speaker 02

  My story is so strange, it gets weirder because she's part of my

• 33:51Bobby Lee?

  Dude, imagine a closing statement from her.

• 33:54Speaker 00

  Dane Cook is a

• 33:55Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, very good. So, um, go ahead, guys.

• 33:59Speaker 02

  Questions, concerns?

• 34:00Speaker 00

  Okay, another question. You must have been living pretty frugally during this time.

• 34:05Bobby Lee?

  Pause for a second. Dane, could you do me a favor?

• 34:07Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 34:07Bobby Lee?

  Can you flip your phones over to its flat side?

• 34:10Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 34:10Bobby Lee?

  Okay, thank you.

• 34:11Speaker 00

  Both, both, three phones. Yeah.

• 34:13Speaker 02

  Was the messages popping up or something?

• 34:15Bobby Lee?

  No, no, no. I don't like looking at the time.

• 34:17Speaker 02

  Oh.

• 34:18Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 34:19Speaker 02

  There we go.

• 34:19Bobby Lee?

  I like to be free flowing.

• 34:20Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 34:21Bobby Lee?

  And not worried about time.

• 34:22Speaker 02

  Yeah, because time is something that we create.

• 34:25Bobby Lee?

  Tell me, explain that. No, really, I don't understand that.

• 34:29Speaker 02

  Time is something that we have a function, calendars and the numerology of it. That means nothing.

• 34:34Bobby Lee?

  It means it's arbitrary.

• 34:36Speaker 02

  It's arbitrary. Thank you. Let's just leave it there.

• 34:38Bobby Lee?

  Okay.

• 34:39Speaker 00

  Good.

• 34:41Speaker 00

  You must have been living pretty frugally during this time because your brother is spending all this money he's taking in. It's like, if you wanted to buy a, a big house or, because there is that house moment.

• 34:53Speaker 02

  I really wanted to hate the fact that you started with frugally and then I thought, you know what? I'm going to go with frugally, even though I think it's frugal, but, but

• 35:00Speaker 00

  Frugal-ish.

• 35:02Speaker 02

  Frugalish?

• 35:04Speaker 00

  Frugalish?

• 35:04Speaker 02

  But it's a great, I gotta give it to him. That's a great question because I was still living within my means. He, he would take the credit cards and he would go, okay, Dane spent this much. That means that I could use this much for Eric and I for concert tickets. And then he started another card later on. So for a while he was doing it like seeing what I spent and then spending what he wanted.

• 35:26Speaker 00

  You never had a moment as a young comic who's like killing it and be like, I'm going to buy a Lambo? Like, I want to buy a Porsche.

• 35:33Speaker 02

  I bought an Aston Martin.

• 35:34Speaker 00

  Oh, my. Awesome.

• 35:35Speaker 02

  Yeah, but that was, again, when I look back, I found that statement when we did the forensics audit. That's when I go back and I looked at my whole 12 years of what he did to me. And that like three months, he curbed what he took, but then I did a tour three months later and he just doubled what he took then. Yeah, it was almost like he felt slighted that he couldn't steal more when I bought that nice car. And so he just stole more later.

• 36:00Bobby Lee?

  And there's no guilt from him. There's nothing from them, him.

• 36:04Speaker 02

  No.

• 36:05Bobby Lee?

  Why? How could you do that? How could you use somebody's money in that way, especially a family member and not feel any kind of remorse?

• 36:13Speaker 02

  I just don't think people that are in the business of stealing are also

• 36:17Bobby Lee?

  Also, he's a narcissist. Is he a narcissist?

• 36:20Speaker 02

  Oh, yeah, no, there's definitely, there's, there's got to be some megalomania, some narcissism, possibly schizophrenia. I mean, there's

• 36:29Bobby Lee?

  But growing up, did you see signs like that with him or no?

• 36:32Speaker 02

  I saw a person that you could say, and this is tricky because in our business, we do this a lot and you guys see this also, the fine line between eclectic and that's a fucking weirdo. Some people are eclectic and they ride that line and they're interesting and they're, and they're, um, and they're, what is that word? They're respectful and they're capable, but other people are past eclectic and they're into something else, which is like, you're sketchy, you're fucking weird. And so I didn't, I didn't realize. I just thought he was, you know, he, he did his thing, but he never, there was no red flags that made me go.

• 37:04Bobby Lee?

  Maybe he was an eccentric brother that you had or something.

• 37:07Speaker 02

  Yeah, he was just, he was a little off, but not in a way that you would ever go like, man, I gotta like be careful of what I do around this guy. No, if anything, he was so sort of simple. He was a simple, even, even before there was money. That's what makes it trickier. Before there was money, he was still just that simple. Daryl, you want some ice cream? What do you want? Vanilla. Like, there was nothing more to him to indicate, this is a guy that would want extra or more. So realize that before there was even money, he was already like that.

• 37:37Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 37:38Bobby Lee?

  It's so funny because I feel like I'm frugal in a, in a way like

• 37:42Speaker 02

  Frugalini?

• 37:43Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, frugalish. Yeah, yeah. Why'd you leave that face?

• 37:47Speaker 00

  Frugalosis? Frugal? Can we pull it up?

• 37:50Speaker 00

  Nice things.

• 37:50Bobby Lee?

  I know. Let me, can I explain myself before you do this? Okay. May I defend myself, please, before you do this? What are you looking at my shoes?

• 37:57Speaker 00

  I just want to see what you're wearing today.

• 37:58Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. May I say something? All right, all right. So I don't buy like, you know, I have friends, right, that have the same kind of economic evaluation that I have. Is that the right?

• 38:08Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 38:08Speaker 00

  Kind of like that.

• 38:09Speaker 02

  I'm okay with that.

• 38:09Bobby Lee?

  Okay. And, you know, they'll go, oh, I just bought like, you know what I mean? A boat.

• 38:15Speaker 00

  Yeah, yeah, that's not you.

• 38:16Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean? Or I bought like, you know, another property somewhere that I'm now going to live in. You know what I mean? And I don't do that.

• 38:22Speaker 02

  Why?

• 38:22Bobby Lee?

  Because I like to buy food, like really nice dinners.

• 38:26Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 38:26Speaker 00

  You like to buy multiple different restaurants and DoorDash all of them and have each one race to see who gets your house first.

• 38:33Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, that's what I've been doing.

• 38:34Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 38:34Speaker 02

  Is that frugal?

• 38:36Bobby Lee?

  What?

• 38:36Speaker 02

  Video games?

• 38:37Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, it's frugal. What?

• 38:38Speaker 02

  You like video?

• 38:38Bobby Lee?

  I play video games.

• 38:39Speaker 02

  Okay, so you, would you invest in like a supercomputer? Would you like it like?

• 38:42Bobby Lee?

  No, no, but I'll spend the hundred dollars instead of the seventy dollars on the grant of Dado coming out, the premium.

• 38:47Speaker 00

  Yeah, good call.

• 38:48Speaker 02

  You don't have to answer this. Do you know what your net worth has been at its peak or maybe it's at its peak? Have you, would you even know that if I said to you, hey, what was per capita, the best year that you've ever had?

• 39:00Bobby Lee?

  This year.

• 39:00Speaker 02

  Financially?

• 39:01Bobby Lee?

  This year.

• 39:01Speaker 02

  This year.

• 39:02Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 39:02Speaker 02

  Because, well, you're more responsible and now you're looking at

• 39:04Bobby Lee?

  I'm looking at it. No, no, but I, no, but what I did was, um,

• 39:07Speaker 02

  Yeah, and you're on a heater. So I understand. You're like, he's on fire, right? It's amazing.

• 39:12Speaker 00

  You're on the come up.

• 39:13Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 39:13Bobby Lee?

  What do you mean?

• 39:13Speaker 00

  Heaters.

• 39:14Bobby Lee?

  What's a heater mean?

• 39:15Speaker 02

  Yeah, you're doing it. You're on a fucking

• 39:17Bobby Lee?

  I'm not a heater. No, I'm downer.

• 39:18Speaker 00

  No.

• 39:19Bobby Lee?

  Really? I feel like I'm going down.

• 39:20Speaker 00

  You just said this is the most, the best year of your life.

• 39:22Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 39:23Speaker 02

  Yeah, you just said it is the best year of your life. Yeah. And I say you're on a heater. You have great podcasts.

• 39:28Bobby Lee?

  Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm a heater. I'm a heater.

• 39:30Speaker 02

  I bring your name up to people and they go, oh, I love Bobby. And then they go, is he weird?

• 39:34Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. Am I weird?

• 39:35Speaker 00

  Hey, what is your answer? Yeah.

• 39:36Speaker 02

  I always say he's eclectic.

• 39:40Speaker 03

  One of those can be eclectic weird.

• 39:42Speaker 02

  No, no, I don't say you're weird, but people always ask, they wanna know about you. When I say I'm a stand-up, they go, oh, do you know Bobby Lee? And I go, yeah, and they go, oh, man, he's hilarious. What's he like?

• 39:50Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 39:50Speaker 02

  They wanna know.

• 39:51Bobby Lee?

  So I'll go to gigs, right? And they'll go, at the end of the gig, they'll go, um, this happens a lot, right? They'll come up to me and they go, great week, I mean, great night. And I go, thank you. And they're like, really good experience. And I'm like, oh, cool. And they'll be like, yeah, we hurt things. And I go, what? That you were weird? And I go, I'm like this, right? Every show.

• 40:12Speaker 03

  This is the staff, by the way, it's like the GM.

• 40:13Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, every show I go, walk in, I, what's up? Thanks for working on that.

• 40:17Speaker 02

  But they, they think you're gonna be weird, they think he's weird in a way that like, he's gonna have weird demands? Or are these gonna be, um, not easy to deal with weird?

• 40:25Speaker 03

  Yeah, exactly, a little bit both, he's gonna be getting naked in the green room.

• 40:28Bobby Lee?

  No, no, no, I don't do any of that, no, no, no, I'm like, I'm like, good job.

• 40:32Speaker 02

  Was there an era, was there an era that you would walk into a gig and not high five? But maybe like, I don't know, do some fucking shit that made people go like, well.

• 40:41Bobby Lee?

  No, no, no, never, never, no, in fact, in fact, you know, I mean, the only, in fact, if I may.

• 40:45Speaker 02

  Where's it come from?

• 40:45Bobby Lee?

  What?

• 40:46Speaker 02

  Where does that, then where does?

• 40:47Bobby Lee?

  That's, I mean, that's what, I know, when people go, Bobby Lee, I'm a fan, but is he weird? Or whatever, or what's he like?

• 40:53Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 40:53Bobby Lee?

  It's the same thing. I just have, I don't know, like, people think that I'm, you know what I mean?

• 40:57Speaker 02

  Maybe because of the stage presence or what he puts out in the world.

• 41:01Speaker 03

  Do you not get any of that, Dane? Do people ever make false assumptions about you?

• 41:05Speaker 02

  I've had the same thing happen where the internet sort of writes a narrative and then you're like, you, from the outside, you're like, oh, I, I guess they think I'm this persona this way. Or if somebody else that you respect says something, like Joan Rivers. Joan Rivers one time went on Howard Stern, and I'd never met Joan Rivers, I never made a Joan Rivers joke about facelifts or anything. Never had a bad word to say about Joan Rivers. Howard Stern goes, what do you think of up and coming comics like Dane Cook? She goes, oh, he's an asshole. And she went off on me, like she knew me. From that, other people that love Joan Rivers would fucking write me or meet me and be like, oh, man, what, what'd you do to Joan? I'm like, nothing.

• 41:47Speaker 03

  Sure.

• 41:47Speaker 02

  And so sometimes by way of that, you become a version of what people are projecting. I think with Bobby, it's like, the characters, Mad TV, you know, even years ago, remember, we, we've told the story, you'd jump on me and we'd like fake hump? And you'd jump into my arms, remember that? You'd fake hump me.

• 42:04Speaker 03

  So eccentric.

• 42:04Bobby Lee?

  No, no, no.

• 42:07Speaker 02

  Your hello is you'd jump into my arms and you would fucking fake hump me, and it was a whole thing.

• 42:12Speaker 03

  Korean hello.

• 42:12Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah.

• 42:13Bobby Lee?

  Well, I mean, you know, you, you stopped that.

• 42:16Speaker 02

  I did.

• 42:16Bobby Lee?

  I know, you stopped, I don't wanna talk about that, yeah, but you stopped it. It was leaving at that, yeah, yeah.

• 42:22Speaker 02

  Yeah, I stopped that.

• 42:22Bobby Lee?

  So I don't wanna talk about me anymore, but my point is, is that, speaking of Joan Rivers, I had an incident with her too.

• 42:30Speaker 02

  You did too?

• 42:31Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I was on a red carpet, right?

• 42:33Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 42:33Bobby Lee?

  And she kept screaming, Lee, get the fuck out of my shot!

• 42:37Speaker 03

  Wow.

• 42:37Bobby Lee?

  Right?

• 42:38Speaker 03

  Were you in the shot?

• 42:39Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. But, but I was told, I was told, I mean, I was doing red carpet interviews. And I was told to stand there.

• 42:46Speaker 02

  Oh, so you're doing the interviews?

• 42:48Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 42:48Speaker 02

  You're in the shot for that reason, okay.

• 42:50Bobby Lee?

  Well, no, she, no, there's twenty, thirty different productions going on.

• 42:54Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 42:55Bobby Lee?

  So I just happened to be in her shot. And, um, then Jimmy Kimmel aired it, and she goes, he said something, he digged on me, he said something like, why would anyone give a fuck about Bobby Lee? Or something like that.

• 43:05Speaker 03

  What?

• 43:06Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, it was like, we, like a weird slam, and I, I remember crying about it.

• 43:09Speaker 03

  That's, do you guys ever have a moment when this is happening? Cause of course, there's also like, you have your onstage like comedy persona. When people start taking it too seriously and making fun of you, do you ever think about like, I have to be a different person and try and bend the knee to these people?

• 43:22Bobby Lee?

  No, no, no.

• 43:23Speaker 03

  Joan Rivers will like me.

• 43:24Speaker 02

  No.

• 43:24Bobby Lee?

  You're, you're in the, you're in the moment in there, you're like, am I doing it wrong? You're like, you know what I mean, you're like, you know, trying to survive.

• 43:30Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 43:30Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean? And also, I know who she is, she's a legend.

• 43:34Speaker 03

  Sure.

• 43:34Bobby Lee?

  Right, so you have a legend screaming at you, and you're like, but I was told, but I was told this, I was told to stand here, right? And then, you know what I mean, and then all of a sudden, it appears on Kimmel and they rip on you, and you're like, what the fuck is going on here?

• 43:46Speaker 02

  Yeah, and that, and that changes people's perspective, even though you really didn't have anything to do with why.

• 43:51Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, and then it makes me go, I don't like Joan Rivers.

• 43:57Speaker 02

  Here's what happens, and, and it's many years ago, I don't know when it was, I made a decision in my stand-up where it was like, I wanna be as close to who I am offstage on. So I don't have to delineate, was that because of the Dane Cook, that da-da-da-da? Like, I just wanted everything to sort of be like, within the same confines, so that my truth onstage was my truth offstage. And if somebody wanted to say something or fuck with me, then it's like, okay, they can do that, but it's not by way of like, something that they saw or misconstrued or whatever.

• 44:29Bobby Lee?

  Here, here's, I think that, and this is my hot take on you.

• 44:33Speaker 02

  Oh.

• 44:33Bobby Lee?

  If I may.

• 44:33Speaker 02

  We're doing hot takes.

• 44:34Speaker 03

  We're ready for it.

• 44:34Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, my hot take at you is, I, you know, there was no one that encapsulated LA comedy than Dane at that time. Period.

• 44:44Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 44:44Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean, I, I was there, I was among it, I witnessed it. You know what I mean, I was, you know what I mean? You know, I was there, you know, my eyes were beholden to the nature of all things.

• 44:56Speaker 03

  Sure.

• 44:56Bobby Lee?

  Okay.

• 44:57Speaker 03

  More, more.

• 44:57Bobby Lee?

  What, more, yeah?

• 44:58Speaker 02

  It was sincere, and now it's gone to a.

• 45:00Bobby Lee?

  No, it has not, no, there's light in the darkest places. And I saw light protruding through the Dublin's when it was dark. I'm not done. Can I finish? Cause that wasn't a good one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Linear thinking, creating magic, you know what I mean? Destiny, anyway, um, what I wanna really say about you is, is that, um, I think a lot of it was jealousy. Okay, because your style of comedy was so different. Your setups were funny. You make your own Dane Cookie mannerisms, you know what I mean, that were really funny, you know? Perif, I remember that.

• 45:37Speaker 02

  I remember that too.

• 45:38Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I've stolen it.

• 45:42Bobby Lee?

  Sometimes, sometimes I'll say perif, and I'll go, fuck Dane says that. Admit it, I'm so sorry. That's how big you've influenced.

• 45:49Speaker 02

  A lot of people truncate words now.

• 45:50Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, they truncate words, but, um, my point is, is that, and it's, it was a perception thing, but my point is, is that if you were there, you, you knew that it was the real deal. You know what I mean? And it's like, you, you blow up, you rose pretty fast in that time period, right? And to us, it seems a long time because we went through the open mic states and all the, all the things, right? So people, but in terms of like, you know, I mean, observer, outside observer, you, right? And all of a sudden, you just started doing movies and this and that, and I think, you know, a lot of people were just jealous. You know, I really believe that.

• 46:22Speaker 03

  In, in the movie, Dane, you do, it's a lot of, um, you know, from the beginning of your career, from the, you're trying to get a high five.

• 46:30Bobby Lee?

  I don't know how long I have to wait there.

• 46:31Speaker 03

  The timing was crazy.

• 46:32Speaker 02

  If somebody turns their head and you're gonna high five, you need to make a noise indication.

• 46:36Bobby Lee?

  No, no, I don't think so, Dane.

• 46:37Speaker 02

  Yeah, no, no, ready? This is what I would've done.

• 46:39Bobby Lee?

  What about the perif?

• 46:40Speaker 02

  Ready, ready, turn away, and I'm gonna show you what a fucking person does when they're gonna high five. They know the other person turned, ready?

• 46:44Bobby Lee?

  All right.

• 46:44Speaker 02

  Ready, go, turn away, hey! See, that lets you know, something else is going on over here.

• 46:49Bobby Lee?

  Oh, I see, hey! So you raise it first, and then hey, you don't do it at the same time.

• 46:53Speaker 02

  Well, hey!

• 46:54Bobby Lee?

  Oh, whatever, okay, so anyway, so Dane was a real deal, and, um.

• 46:59Speaker 03

  Of course, I mean, Dane had so many, like, everybody was doing Dane for what, ten years in LA? I mean, it was that, you know?

• 47:06Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 47:06Speaker 03

  You know? But when you were in the, in the movie, you go through a lot of your career, right? You start in the very beginning, and you see kind of the open mic, you see the video camera, old found footage, then you go like vicious circle. Even that, that, by the way, emotionally impacted me, cause I remember watching that and being so lit up by that.

• 47:21Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 47:22Speaker 03

  How did you feel going through all of that? Like, were you prepared to go through?

• 47:26Speaker 02

  The first time?

• 47:26Speaker 03

  All the footage, yeah, as you, as you were, you know, not, not the vicious, but just everything, like, going through Boston, you know, early days in Boston, going through the New York stuff, going, like, was there?

• 47:35Speaker 02

  Coming up the ranks, you mean like in real time?

• 47:37Speaker 03

  No, as you reviewed the footage.

• 47:38Speaker 02

  As I reviewed it, it was like. Cause it was way more, I gave myself more grace, I gave myself more props, I knew that there was a lot of comics nipping at my fucking heels, I knew that there was a lot of animosity. But when you're a young kid and you're breaking through, you can't call a morning DJ and go, they're just jealous of me. You're like, I need to be old with some wrinkles and some fucking mileage to then go, here's the truth, there's a lot of envy.

• 48:02Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 48:02Speaker 02

  And they want this spot, but, but they're gonna get here, some of them will, some of them won't, but it isn't a spot that you're even given, it's so political. There's way more reasons that a person starts sort of zeitgeist-ing when they do. So I understood that then, but when I looked back and they were cutting, I didn't cut it, by the way.

• 48:19Speaker 03

  Sure.

• 48:19Speaker 02

  I did the interviews, the director Brett Harvey went away for six months, I never saw it, I was not, not a puff piece, not me over the shoulder helping, it was just interviews. I don't even know who else he's gonna talk to.

• 48:30Bobby Lee?

  Oh, wow.

• 48:30Speaker 02

  I don't know anything, it's just the interview. But when he sent me the roughest.

• 48:34Bobby Lee?

  So you let the director just do it?

• 48:36Speaker 02

  The, the first meeting, I said, I don't, I don't like, I love documentaries, I go, I don't fucking think a documentary is a documentary if the person you're making it about is a part of the production.

• 48:45Bobby Lee?

  Yes.

• 48:46Speaker 02

  I said, so, I'm not gonna tell you, I don't like that shot of me, or I'm crying here, or whatever. So he took it, and he showed it to me, and that whole sequence, especially the sequence of vicious circle in there.

• 48:58Speaker 03

  That was, that got chills, man, that was so cool.

• 49:00Speaker 02

  Imagine it like this, I'm watching it, and not only am I reliving going, I, I did that.

  Hatred.

  Extreme hatred.

• 52:30Speaker 06

  For each other, and for the way we live our lives. We talk about human behavior, social norms, and we fight.

• 52:37Bobby Lee?

  Yes, and you do it wrong.

• 53:07Speaker 00

  What's up, everybody? I am Jeremy Elder.

• 53:09Speaker 06

  I'm Corey Peter Lane.

• 53:10Bobby Lee?

  And I'm Hunter Sailing.

• 53:31Speaker 00

  Making beer thick.

• 53:33Bobby Lee?

  We're the stupidest people alive.

• 53:35Speaker 00

  We have been best friends for 10 years, and there is no signs of stopping.

• 53:38Speaker 02

  I think it's 11 years now.

• 53:40Speaker 00

  We've been best friends for 11 years, and it's about to end.

• 53:45Bobby Lee?

  So tune in while you can, every Monday where you get your podcasts.

• 53:47Speaker 02

  Let's do one that's just for millennials.

• 53:49Speaker 00

  Oh, yeah, okay, great. What's up, doggos and pupperinos? You hufflepuffs, are you hufflepuffs ready for a podcast that's gonna make you say wowzers?

• 53:56Speaker 02

  Then get your gym faces ready, because we're about to do some crazy Dwight-ass stuff that's gonna blow your frickin' pams off.

• 54:04Bobby Lee?

  Every Monday, wherever you get your podcasts.

• 54:07Speaker 02

  And not only am I reliving going, "I did that." I was the first arena comic since, like, Dice, at his height.

• 54:14Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 54:14Speaker 02

  For the next generation. And not only am I doing that in Boston, and this is the beginning of a long run for me, but as I'm watching the footage, I'm also going, "Then this kid is gonna go through the worst period of, like, my parents are gonna pass away, and then my brother's gonna do this thing, and he's gonna leave me in the worst predicament that I could possibly be in. But then, that kid is gonna have another moment sharing all of it." So imagine watching your career from that perspective of, like, all the shitty things that you think aren't gonna add up, they finally add up. And then you think, "Oh, I'm set," but the worst is still ahead. You thought you made it past the fucking...

• 54:55Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 54:55Speaker 02

  The worst part. And so, to be able to watch it now in celebration with people I love, and it's a greater feeling even now, looking at that period of my life.

• 55:05Speaker 00

  Dude, it's crazy.

• 55:06Bobby Lee?

  Wow, wow.

• 55:07Speaker 00

  Do you think that, like, I'm so curious about the MySpace of it all, because that is before my time. And it's so interesting hearing you talk about, like, going on MySpace and realizing that there's, like, people on there, and you have friend requests. Like, you started to get popularity on MySpace. Are you posting, this is gonna sound so dumb, but I literally know nothing about MySpace, are you posting stand-up clips on it?

• 55:27Bobby Lee?

  No.

• 55:27Speaker 00

  Are you posting, like, Twitter jokes?

• 55:29Bobby Lee?

  No, they didn't have the ability.

• 55:29Speaker 00

  Like, how are you...

• 55:30Speaker 02

  So back then, there wasn't the ability to post video, but you could post links to forums. Forums were like the hang.

• 55:37Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 55:38Speaker 02

  Forums were where, like, if you had an interest, if you were like, "I'm into collectibles," you could go into a forum, there'd be 100,000 people that have signed up on any given night, some people are live chatting in the forum.

• 55:47Bobby Lee?

  Yep.

• 55:48Speaker 02

  I would go into a forum with a uploaded WAV file, .WAV or an MP3, early, of my stand-up. And I would say, if there's any stand-up comedy fans in here, and a lot of people would be like, "Get the fuck out of here, we're talking collectibles." You people would click it.

• 56:05Speaker 00

  Wow, I know that.

• 56:06Speaker 02

  Come over. And I also put something, which now we have DMs, right? Everybody DMs everybody. Back then, we had IMs. Instant message was what AOL provided, which was just the same thing.

• 56:16Speaker 00

  Sure, sure.

• 56:17Speaker 02

  Only somebody would instant message you, and it would pop up as a pop-up, not here, but on your computer. So I'd give people my IM. I tell people, "This is my MySpace" or danekook.com. And those clips, until I'm on Comedy Central with my first real, like, television appearance, those clips are being passed around, sort of like underground.

• 56:37Speaker 00

  So are you going up at the Laugh Factory and putting a tape recorder down at a certain point and going, "I'm gonna," or whatever, some recording device, and you go, "This is for my MySpace. I'm gonna push this on my MySpace."

• 56:46Speaker 02

  Two things that I would do. I would do clips, like, I would take that and cut up clips, and then put it on, there was something called Kazaa, LimeWire, Napster, and these were places you could, like, BitTorrent and download audio. So I would cut them up and post them, or I would just put them on links on, like, a separate webpage, and I would share them in all these... By the way, I'd go into, like, pregnant lady, third trimester forums, and I'd be like, "Anybody needs a laugh while you're in that tough last...?" So, the thing that was interesting, though, is I also did something on my website, which was, I would do a weekly, like, I guess, rant called The Voice of Doom. And then I would upload it. And once a week, this jukebox, it was called a jukebox, the Dan Cook Voice

• 57:30Speaker 02

  of Doom jukebox, you could listen. Every Friday, I would do, like, "Here's what my weekend plans are," and I'd rant sort of about the week. That was before it was even called podcasting.

• 57:40Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 57:40Speaker 02

  And then, and then even comics that I knew that I bust their ball, like Burr and stuff, like, suddenly you're doing a version of, by the way, and everybody should and could have been doing that version, but I'm saying I did that, like, get to know me just through...

• 57:54Bobby Lee?

  See, this is why I never made it. Because of all these little, I never did any of it. It's like, also, you know, Gabriel had a system. Do you know what his system was?

• 58:03Speaker 02

  I didn't know.

• 58:04Bobby Lee?

  No, Gabriel had a, like, he made up his own system.

• 58:06Speaker 02

  I saw Tom Green a lot online, and I learned a lot even from, I thought Tom was, like, the most entrepreneurial.

• 58:11Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 58:11Speaker 02

  And I thought, like, even though Tom had his fame, I thought, like, "Oh, I'm very different, and he's more like this sort of a performance artist, and I'm a stand-up."

• 58:19Bobby Lee?

  Sure.

• 58:19Speaker 02

  And so I did look at Tom a lot as being one of those.

• 58:21Bobby Lee?

  What Gabriel, what Gabriel did was, he would go to shows, right, and, you know, he would do a meet and greet every show, right? And it's like, you know, "You can take a photo with me, but we take the photo."

• 58:32Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 58:32Bobby Lee?

  And we put it on our site.

• 58:34Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 58:34Bobby Lee?

  Right? And then we exchange, you change it.

• 58:37Speaker 00

  We email you.

• 58:37Bobby Lee?

  And we grab your email.

• 58:38Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 58:38Bobby Lee?

  And so they collect all this gigantic email database.

• 58:41Speaker 00

  That's so...

• 58:42Bobby Lee?

  But he did that 20 years ago.

• 58:45Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 58:45Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. And I remember CA calling me going, "Well, this is what Gabriel does." I go, "I'm not doing that. Are you fucking mind? I have no idea even how this began."

• 58:54Speaker 02

  I did an interview with Rob Lowe recently, and I'd never...

• 58:56Bobby Lee?

  Rob was just here, yeah.

• 58:57Speaker 02

  Okay, I never did his podcast, but he asked me to do his podcast. And in the middle of the podcast, it's like, this is what later I learned, I was experiencing, like, some of the, not resentment, but some of the pushback when I made it was, even Rob Lowe the other day was like, "You know what happened to me one time in 2006?" And I'm like, "Oh, I'm gonna get a Rob Lowe story." He goes, "Ah, my career was in sort of, like, you know, ebb and flow, and I went into my agents at wherever," and he goes, "And you know what they said to me?" I go, "What?" And he goes, "They said, 'You should be doing what Dane Cook is doing.'" And I realized right then, that's why Rob Lowe never fucked with me. Like, right then, I go, and I said to him, I go, "Wait, is that why?" I go, "I go, 'You probably resent it.'" And he was like, "Yeah, of course." I was friends with Rob Lowe.

• 59:38Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, wow, wow.

• 59:39Speaker 02

  Because people were putting me in other people's faces as, "I'm the example," and...

• 59:45Speaker 00

  Kind of interesting, maybe that's what was a motivating factor behind what your brother did? I mean, a little bit of, like, why everybody going, "Look at Dane, he's the special one in the family."

• 59:53Speaker 02

  Maybe. He didn't show me that, man. He didn't show me a guy that was like, like, I never catch him like this, like, looking like, "Fuck, I wish I could do what you do." He was just so, like, you know, boop-boop.

• 1:00:04Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:00:05Speaker 02

  More simple-minded.

• 1:00:07Speaker 00

  The footage of him in the background, for example, of, like, Vicious Circle and all that stuff, where you see him walking you out, it's like haunting to see now.

• 1:00:13Speaker 02

  It is haunting, yeah.

• 1:00:15Bobby Lee?

  It is. I really have to watch this.

• 1:00:19Bobby Lee?

  I'm inspired. I'm inspired to watch it.

• 1:00:22Speaker 02

  Some night Bobby's gonna just text me in the middle of the night and you know what he's gonna write? Something like, "Holy fuck, dude. This is awesome." I have so many questions. Can I not wait 20 years and just pat myself on the back for one thing? Which I'm patting by way of Brett Harvey, the director, Scorgi Productions, Rocky Moudelier. But I'm gonna take the pat on this one thing, in real time and not in 20 years. I knew the first day I sat in the chair, the first interview with the director, just the first question he asked. I said, "I know that this is gonna be one of the most fucking unbelievable documentaries whenever it comes out." Because it's got all this fucking drama, money, a heist, all this crazy shit.

• 1:01:06Speaker 02

  Potentially murder, which you gotta see, potentially like that level of fucking, you know, crime. And it's got all the, it's got money, it's got the high rise of my career.

• 1:01:18Bobby Lee?

  Fuck, I wanna watch it.

• 1:01:19Speaker 02

  You gotta watch it.

• 1:01:21Bobby Lee?

  I'm gonna watch it, dude.

• 1:01:22Speaker 02

  Everybody watching is gonna watch it before you watch it. You're gonna be sitting home doing that thing with your hands.

• 1:01:27Bobby Lee?

  No, I'm not gonna, yeah, yeah, I'm gonna do this.

• 1:01:29Speaker 00

  It is so haunting, because I even listen to, I listen back to like Harmful is Swallowed. And you mentioned in the BK Lounge joke, you're like, "Oh, my brother Daryl at the BK Lounge." And I'm like, "Whoa, this is like, like a ghost haunting." You're every single bit on the way, there's like, "Oh, Daryl is so involved."

• 1:01:45Speaker 02

  He's, not only is he involved, but then there's bits where I had over the years. Could we get Bobby some WD-40 for this chair?

• 1:01:53Speaker 02

  It sounds like a fucking old boat is over here. I'm in the middle, I'm on heaters.

• 1:01:58Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I'm sorry, I gotta sit still. Am I moving around too much?

• 1:02:01Speaker 02

  You're doing a lot of this.

• 1:02:02Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:02:02Speaker 02

  It just sounds like an old lady pushing herself down a hallway in a nursing home.

• 1:02:05Bobby Lee?

  It's creakier than normal. Yeah, yeah, square, square.

• 1:02:08Speaker 02

  I didn't even remember what I was saying. I was getting, "Oh, Daryl." But it was this idea of like, Dar, I even had a bit once where I said, "I always wanted to be a family with a deep, dark secret." And I say that in my stand-up, I go, "Imagine like looking at your family and realizing that somebody does something fucking weird and you have a deep, dark secret." And then I realize I have a deep, dark secret in my own family.

• 1:02:30Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 1:02:30Speaker 02

  Yeah. Wake that chair, man, if you're feeling it. Oh, yeah.

• 1:02:35Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. Ramsey, can I ask you something? Are there Dane Cookisms in my act?

• 1:02:41Speaker 03

  What do you mean, Dane Cook?

• 1:02:41Bobby Lee?

  Is there anything that I do that's very kinda Cookish? I feel like he's influenced me a little bit.

• 1:02:45Speaker 03

  I think it's hard to say, because Dane's physicality did influence so many people. But you're very, I don't know, it's hard to, I can't say that.

• 1:02:54Speaker 02

  No, I can look at people and I know. I can look at somebody and go, I can look at somebody and go, "Why can't they just come to me and go, dude, I watched a lot of your stand-up and I really loved it." That's cool. I watched Steve Martin. There's certain things in Steve Martin's fluidity that I do, that I emulate, that I wanted to do. But I think that Bobby and I, we came up, like our graduating classes are almost right next to each other. You could, you could argue that there's a good chunk of comics that have certain sort of like cadence and attitude. That was just the way we came up. You know what I mean? I just think that the way Bobby does it is, there's real love of the game and it's real like in the moment. And it doesn't feel sort of like preconceived or like pre-planned, which I love.

• 1:03:35Bobby Lee?

  Listen.

• 1:03:37Speaker 02

  Come on, man.

• 1:03:38Bobby Lee?

  What? What's the matter?

• 1:03:40Speaker 03

  Everything is noisy.

• 1:03:43Bobby Lee?

  I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I slept four hours last night.

• 1:03:47Speaker 02

  Oh, why aren't you gonna get more sleep?

• 1:03:49Bobby Lee?

  I don't, anxiety?

• 1:03:51Speaker 02

  Cause I'm coming today?

• 1:03:52Bobby Lee?

  I think a little bit. Yeah, I said, "Should I watch it? Should I watch it?"

• 1:03:57Speaker 02

  Do you think that maybe, do you think there's a part of you that's a little trepidatious about watching it? Because you, you fear somebody, you know, pulling a fast one on you or something?

• 1:04:06Bobby Lee?

  No, no, no, no, that's not, that's not it. It literally is, is that like, I, I just forget to.

• 1:04:14Speaker 03

  He gave you an out.

• 1:04:15Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:04:16Speaker 03

  He gave you an out.

• 1:04:17Bobby Lee?

  I can't take the out.

• 1:04:19Speaker 02

  There's another reason that people don't watch it. And it's because they too are criminals.

• 1:04:24Bobby Lee?

  No, no, no, that's the one, that's the one.

• 1:04:27Speaker 02

  They don't wanna identify.

• 1:04:28Bobby Lee?

  Fuck you, dude, fuck you, dude. No, no, no. I, I don't know why I haven't, and I feel bad, really bad, because I've had you on the pod, my other podcast and this one.

• 1:04:38Speaker 02

  You were the first person to write me.

• 1:04:39Bobby Lee?

  I know, I know. I'm probably the first guy that I ever buy it.

• 1:04:42Speaker 02

  He sent me a picture and he said, "Dude," and I, I told my wife, I go, I go, "You know, comics are fucking the worst." I go, "But Bobby just wrote me." Look at that Bobby shit, dude.

• 1:04:51Bobby Lee?

  I wanted to show you, this is my, okay, I'm gonna show you, okay. Okay, I recently purchased, right?

• 1:04:56Speaker 02

  Oh, so you bought it, right?

• 1:04:56Bobby Lee?

  So I bought it, I bought it way back here, right? Now, unfortunately, I've seen all these movies before.

• 1:05:05Speaker 02

  Session 12 times?

• 1:05:07Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, but, uh.

• 1:05:08Speaker 02

  If you wanna be, be a good comic, be a good person.

• 1:05:11Bobby Lee?

  It's funnier if I haven't seen it, you know that.

• 1:05:13Speaker 02

  I, I wanna share someday, all the com, you know how many bullshit, like, I'm not gonna name this name, but one comic wrote me the other day and it was literally like, "Saw the thing was released, man, wow." That's wild, dude. It's like, dude, you pick up a fucking phone and call me and go, "You did this fucking dude, I'm glad you shit." Like, that.

• 1:05:31Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I get, I understand.

• 1:05:32Speaker 02

  You writing that though, really, it made my night, until you didn't watch it and you ruined my life.

• 1:05:37Speaker 03

  That's so funny.

• 1:05:38Speaker 02

  That is really good.

• 1:05:39Bobby Lee?

  Well, it was me being performative, I think.

• 1:05:41Speaker 03

  Yeah, you were, dude. You got caught, bro.

• 1:05:43Speaker 02

  I don't watch it. Never watch it.

• 1:05:45Bobby Lee?

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

• 1:05:46Speaker 02

  No, don't watch it.

• 1:05:47Speaker 03

  You phony baloney, dude. You got caught.

• 1:05:49Bobby Lee?

  I think I was being performative, like, I'm being cool, you know what I mean?

• 1:05:52Speaker 03

  You suck, dude.

• 1:05:53Bobby Lee?

  Right. I suck, right? Yeah, I, yeah. I think I suck.

• 1:05:57Speaker 02

  Do you think that maybe you don't wanna watch it because for the two hours, it's all about me and not about you?

• 1:06:07Bobby Lee?

  That's a real good slam.

• 1:06:08Speaker 02

  Next time you say Dane Cook, I just want it to be more specific. Dane Cook, Dane Cook. No, no, Dane Cook.

• 1:06:14Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:06:15Speaker 03

  Wait, I have another, I have a movie specific question.

• 1:06:16Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:06:17Speaker 03

  When you were, cause when you, when this is all going down, cause I was thinking about this earlier. You're at the height of your career.

• 1:06:22Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:06:23Speaker 03

  Are there, you're having the worst year of your life. Are there like FBI agents trying to take pictures with you? Like, are you getting into that? And, and, that must've been a weird moment where you're like doing a sufi with like a guy while you're like crying.

• 1:06:35Speaker 02

  All the cops, all those Boston state troopers, some of the FBI, even the Attorney General's Office of Massachusetts, Martha Coakley, shout out to Martha and team, they, even when I called those offices, and I, some of them, I called. I'm literally calling the Attorney General's Office, being like, "I gotta report my brother, here's my legal team." And, and, and many times I would get phone calls from like a police sergeant, like, in that Boston accent. Like, you know, "Cook, I know we're not supposed to call you, but we gotta tell you this thing." Then they would tell me something that they found or something that like they uncovered. Highly, like, that's so against protocol.

• 1:07:13Bobby Lee?

  Is it illegal?

• 1:07:14Speaker 02

  It's illegal, like, they can't. Why would you say that now? Well, be, well, now I can say it because you're not gonna know the names or whatever. But at the time, they would, they would call me and then say, "Kid, check your fucking email. You're never gonna fucking believe what we found in the drywall." And then I checked my email. Now, keep in mind, at the time, I'm both still in a panic of like, "How much am I gonna get back?" My career is not as white-hot as I was three, four years ago. I've cooled. And so I'm like, "Okay, how much am I gonna get back?" So I opened the email, it's a picture of cash on a table, and two things are happening. One is like, you're like, "Wow, okay, I got that back. Whatever this is, I'm getting this back."

• 1:07:48Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:07:48Speaker 02

  And so you're, you're excited.

• 1:07:50Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:07:51Speaker 02

  And then there's like dread and betrayal, right? But then there's a little piece of you that's like, "Damn, this is, this is fucking dramatic."

• 1:07:58Speaker 03

  Sure.

• 1:07:58Speaker 02

  Like, all of that is swirling. Like, when I finally got in my therapy, I'm not even kidding. The first month of my therapy, I said to him, I said, "I don't even know how to fucking begin talking about what my life is." But I don't know where to start talking about my career in the rare air. I don't know where to talk about the kid that I was, that had fucking terrible self-esteem. I, I hated myself, I was self-loathing, I didn't know where to begin with the betrayal in my brother. My parents had just died, like, I swear to God, the first four weeks, I was like, "I don't know what the fuck to even say to you. I'm not sure what to say." And then finally, four weeks in, I was like, "Okay, I think I wanna talk a little bit about," and I started somewhere. And then it was just brick by brick, figuring out how to figure it out.

• 1:08:43Bobby Lee?

  The trauma of it, right? I mean, did you work on the trauma of it?

• 1:08:46Speaker 02

  Yeah, I did. I had to. I had to work on the tra, this is what I said, ready? I, I hope you appreciate this. When I started the therapy, I went, this one year, cause 2011, I wasn't in the clubs really much at all. It's the only year of my life that I really sort of, I guess, took off. Because I was like, "If I'm gonna do this and really get better, I'm gonna, I have to work as hard on myself as I ever have on my career." And that was the goal. And I'm not gonna do stand-up until I know I've worked hard enough on, on me to go, "I think I'm improving and I'm getting healthier." Because if I didn't, I, I'm not even kidding, I don't think I ever would've gotten myself back in a way that I felt like I was worthy of having the momentum again and having another fucking era in my life or comedy.

• 1:09:30Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, you never went away.

• 1:09:32Speaker 02

  No, I didn't. I didn't stop, but I stopped for that little bit, just to figure out like.

• 1:09:35Bobby Lee?

  Just in my, you know what I mean, proof, you know what I mean?

• 1:09:39Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

• 1:09:43Speaker 03

  Make the sound, make the sound.

• 1:09:46Speaker 00

  Have you, um, have you spoken to Erica since the doc came out?

• 1:09:50Speaker 02

  No.

• 1:09:51Speaker 00

  Cause she ends by doing this whole thing and then being like, oh, I'm sorry.

• 1:09:54Speaker 02

  Don't, don't give too, too much away.

• 1:09:55Speaker 00

  Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:09:57Speaker 02

  No spoilers.

• 1:09:57Speaker 00

  Okay, no spoilers.

• 1:09:58Speaker 02

  But she does end with sort of like a call to action that I didn't expect. I'll tell you a quick story about that. She has not reached out, but I'll tell you what did happen. Tell me how, just try to put yourself.

• 1:10:09Speaker 00

  And this is, this is his brother.

• 1:10:11Bobby Lee?

  My brother's wife. Describe it to me, alright?

• 1:10:15Speaker 00

  That's it, that's all.

• 1:10:16Bobby Lee?

  Your brother, okay. Can I talk?

• 1:10:19Speaker 02

  Go ahead, you.

• 1:10:20Bobby Lee?

  Brother's wife.

• 1:10:21Speaker 02

  Brother's wife.

• 1:10:23Speaker 02

  For anybody who doesn't want spoilers, the next 10 seconds, just go like this.

• 1:10:28Speaker 02

  You ready? Spoilers?

• 1:10:28Bobby Lee?

  I don't want to hear it.

• 1:10:30Speaker 02

  No, no, not spoiler spoilers, but you get like.

• 1:10:34Speaker 00

  You're not gonna watch.

• 1:10:35Speaker 02

  Yeah, just consume some of this movie. He's gonna watch it.

• 1:10:37Speaker 03

  Just consume some of it.

• 1:10:39Speaker 00

  We'll bleep it out.

• 1:10:40Speaker 02

  Okay, you knew that. Okay. So, he knows. Imagine this, you ready? I'm gonna set the scene. I'll try to do it in a very dramatic way as well.

• 1:10:46Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, please.

• 1:10:47Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 1:10:49Speaker 02

  This, my brother and this person, you know, they, I send them to prison because of these things that they did on all these different counts, okay? And not only do I send them to prison because of the, the crimes that they've done, but there's a multitude of other things that I know about these people even before the criminal activity, that I know they, they're nefarious and they're, they're not, they're not good people, okay? So imagine now I'm sitting in the movie theater, watching the finished documentary. There's 500 people in the movie theater. I said to my wife, I go, I, I want popcorn. I want to watch my life story. I want to watch the worst moment of my life, but I want to have popcorn.

• 1:11:28Bobby Lee?

  Did you do a speech?

• 1:11:30Speaker 02

  I did not, at the end. I did something at the end. I was supposed to open it up with a speech, I was already.

• 1:11:34Bobby Lee?

  You open with it.

• 1:11:35Speaker 02

  I wasn't, I, Bobby, I honestly, I was like, cause I didn't even know if this is gonna play. I didn't know if this, how this is gonna be received. Nobody had seen it outside of just.

• 1:11:43Bobby Lee?

  But afterwards, you must've had confidence, like, oh, they loved it.

• 1:11:46Speaker 02

  You know the big chest thing that you always say about me?

• 1:11:48Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:11:48Speaker 02

  My chest was like, yeah.

• 1:11:51Speaker 02

  Okay. So now I'm sitting there, I've got the popcorn and I'm watching the movie. And by this point, when you see her later in the film, I've already leaned over to my wife at a certain point and said, this, this is working. This works. And now the crowd is laughing and they're, or they're gasping, or sometimes people are swearing at the screen and I'm like, this is really working. And then Erica looks into the camera. Do you remember this part?

• 1:12:15Speaker 00

  Of course, yeah.

• 1:12:16Speaker 02

  And she's looking at me and I'm sitting in the audience. And I'm eating popcorn and she's fucking yelling at me.

• 1:12:25Bobby Lee?

  Whoa.

• 1:12:26Speaker 02

  In the, from the movie. And I take a second, I lean back and I look around and I'm watching now 500 people that are all like this. And I'm watching them and I'm remembering what she put me through and how I felt like suffocated when it was happening from her and my brother. But now I'm eating popcorn and I lean over to my wife. This is one of my favorite stories, the rest of my life. I lean over to my wife and I go, whatever she, whatever she stole, anything that she took, I said, this is priceless.

• 1:12:58Speaker 00

  Insane.

• 1:13:00Speaker 02

  Insane. I don't even know how to explain all the, where you go.

• 1:13:04Bobby Lee?

  You took something negative and you put it into a fucking positive, dude.

• 1:13:08Speaker 02

  But in a story that I know, if people watch it, if you don't know me, you're not a fan of mine, you're, as a true crime alone, you're gonna go.

• 1:13:16Speaker 00

  It's very thrilling.

• 1:13:16Speaker 02

  Aw, thanks, man. I appreciate that.

• 1:13:18Speaker 00

  She is a character. I could not believe, I was like yelling at my TV. She was so, I mean, it's insane.

• 1:13:24Speaker 03

  That moment he's talking about too is, I, I, it's now gonna hit way harder if you watch that movie.

• 1:13:29Bobby Lee?

  Dude, I feel so fucking bad right now.

• 1:13:34Bobby Lee?

  You have to understand, all jokes aside, I feel so fucking terrible. I feel like a terrible friend.

• 1:13:40Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:13:40Speaker 02

  No.

• 1:13:41Bobby Lee?

  No, no, no, I'm done, I'm done.

• 1:13:42Speaker 03

  I love God.

• 1:13:42Bobby Lee?

  Let me finish, let me finish. Let me finish my fucking show.

• 1:13:45Speaker 02

  Trauma dump on me, trauma dump. I haven't been through enough trauma in my life, but you can trauma dump.

• 1:13:49Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna trauma dump, right? I feel like a fucking, you know what I mean? Not a compadre.

• 1:13:54Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:13:54Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean? Not a compatriot.

• 1:13:57Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:13:57Speaker 03

  Do you think maybe the squeaky chair?

• 1:13:59Bobby Lee?

  I'm gonna do another comp, I didn't, couldn't come up with one.

• 1:14:01Speaker 02

  Maybe a crony?

• 1:14:02Bobby Lee?

  Crony, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, crony, yeah, yeah. I don't feel good about it, you know, and I, um, I have to, you know, really examine where I am with friendships.

• 1:14:11Speaker 02

  Yeah. Well, when you take your 16 hour sleep tonight, you know, I just want you to.

• 1:14:14Bobby Lee?

  That's a slam, you know what I mean? I'm, yeah, yeah, I love resting.

• 1:14:19Speaker 02

  You slept a lot.

• 1:14:20Bobby Lee?

  Okay, I love resting.

• 1:14:20Speaker 02

  More than a rest.

• 1:14:22Bobby Lee?

  Alright. Usually I sleep about 10, 12 hours. If I get about 6, it's not good. Anyway, um, so Dane, um, while we're here.

• 1:14:29Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 1:14:34Bobby Lee?

  But back in the MySpace days though, remember those, do you ever do a secret show?

• 1:14:38Speaker 02

  No, I don't think I did.

• 1:14:39Bobby Lee?

  Oh.

• 1:14:39Speaker 03

  I used to hear about these.

• 1:14:40Bobby Lee?

  These are these MySpace secret shows.

• 1:14:43Speaker 02

  No, I didn't know about that.

• 1:14:44Bobby Lee?

  And they would, it was sponsored by MySpace and so they would, it was, they would do pop-up shows. And I did one in Hawaii, worked through MySpace. It was really cool. It was like during noon, just some random, you know what I mean?

• 1:14:56Speaker 00

  That's crazy.

• 1:14:57Bobby Lee?

  Small little venue.

• 1:14:58Speaker 03

  That's like early cocktail. Yeah, were you active on the MySpace scene?

• 1:15:02Bobby Lee?

  No, but I'd already, I'd been on Mad and so they did a pop. Anyway, um, since you're here, I'm sorry, I don't know why I did that, you know, and said that, but, um, we have two young, I'm sorry, we have two, what's going on? What?

• 1:15:14Speaker 03

  I like it.

• 1:15:15Bobby Lee?

  We have two young, the business that you and I grew up in.

• 1:15:18Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:15:18Bobby Lee?

  Is not the same.

• 1:15:19Speaker 02

  No, it's gone.

• 1:15:20Bobby Lee?

  Completely gone, right? So these new young guys right here, right? They were where we were 25 years ago.

• 1:15:27Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:15:28Bobby Lee?

  What, do you have any advice for them?

• 1:15:32Bobby Lee?

  I know, I know. It's hard. I try to do it, cause you know, these guys open up for me and I try to, but.

• 1:15:38Speaker 03

  I will, the thing about what Dane did with comedy is he kind of created the existence of what we have today. Like I was telling Luke, Luke's a little younger than me, that like today it's kind of normal to see a guy sell out Madison Square Garden, but nobody really did that self-made on their own before you. So it's very interesting. You probably have a lot more relevant advice to give to younger comics, I think, than most people would maybe think.

• 1:16:04Speaker 02

  You're gonna, you might find this interesting, the answer I'm gonna give, because everything now is so online, right? Now, everything, even, first of all, the way I think of an audience is very different. I used to think of an audience as a group of people that it's their night out to grab a show, have some laughs with me. I don't even, my, my philosophy is this is a group of people that have their own, um, platforms. They're creators in their own right, whether they consider themselves entertainers. They're here to share in an experience, enjoy my show, but share their experience with their platform. So you sort of know, I'm in business with this crowd tonight. It's not just the people that are here to have some laughs and go home.

• 1:16:49Speaker 02

  It's people that are gonna leave and go, hey, to my 600 people that watch my tutorials every day, where I show you new and interesting ways to do your hair, blah, blah, blah. I just saw a great show. So you now know you're in cahoots. So you do want to think of it more as like your live shows are still, the meet and greet used to be, where are you from and who's with you? And now it's like, what's your YouTube? What's your fucking?

• 1:17:13Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:17:14Speaker 02

  So you know that, right? But this is the thing that I think is sort of trippy is I would be doing anything to, to create in the, in the actual space that then other people are observing and reporting on the digital space. In other words, you're not trying to crack into the top 20 podcasts that everybody else is already doing that, that and that. You want to try to do something that's so unique to you that other people are gonna bring it on those and you're like niche marketing where all those other 20 podcasts, my documentary, for example, there's a lot of podcasts I didn't do, but they're talking about my, my podcast because that's what other audiences are wanting. They, I want their, you know, prescription on my story.

• 1:17:59Speaker 02

  So that only happens if you're creating things, I think, that are, you know, multifaceted, dramatic, funny. What does it all come back to? Simply just be truthful, be your truth. If something happened to you when you were nine years old, whether it was grim or something you did, hey, guess what? I was in the fucking backseat when my father used to be the number one robber in Pennsylvania. He used to rob banks and you were in the backseat. You need to be, that needs to be your whole fucking thing. Cause that's probably the most stark, funny truth at the center of your life. If you're not talking about the most impactful thing at the center that you know what the, you know the center of your life, you know the center of your life, you know. I know that that Boston Garden moment, I say it in the doc, it's the middle of my life.

• 1:18:43Speaker 02

  Everything led to that moment that was good and then things were not gonna fucking be so good after that central moment. So take your central moment, make that your hub, build everything around that. And then you want other people bringing that out into the world and sharing it. And don't try to crack the digital world so much as the actual world.

• 1:19:01Bobby Lee?

  Whoa.

• 1:19:04Speaker 03

  That was legendary.

• 1:19:04Bobby Lee?

  I came up with that.

• 1:19:07Speaker 02

  You stole that from him?

• 1:19:08Bobby Lee?

  I told that to him early.

• 1:19:10Speaker 02

  I practiced that.

• 1:19:12Bobby Lee?

  I wrote it down word for word. Exactly, dude. In your face, dude.

• 1:19:16Speaker 00

  Nice, yeah.

• 1:19:16Bobby Lee?

  Why don't you listen to me, man?

• 1:19:17Speaker 00

  Dude, I try.

• 1:19:18Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. That's good. That's really good advice from me, dude. Really good, poignant, you know what I mean, stuff there, Dane.

• 1:19:24Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:19:24Speaker 02

  Point.

• 1:19:24Bobby Lee?

  Doctor Dane, right?

• 1:19:26Speaker 02

  I like seeing people win, man.

• 1:19:27Bobby Lee?

  I know, I know.

• 1:19:28Speaker 02

  That's part of my next chapter, too. I just wanna like, I'm even trying to develop something where-

• 1:19:31Bobby Lee?

  We've softened.

• 1:19:33Speaker 02

  Oh, yeah, me too.

• 1:19:34Bobby Lee?

  We've softened.

• 1:19:35Speaker 02

  I felt, you know, I felt like I was still, I was still flying a little too high.

• 1:19:39Bobby Lee?

  When?

• 1:19:40Speaker 02

  Just moments ago.

• 1:19:41Bobby Lee?

  No, no, no, no, no. No, I, no, but listen to me, right? I, I, I, over the years, you and I have softened.

• 1:19:47Speaker 02

  Oh, yes. Yeah, we've softened.

• 1:19:49Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. Don't you, do you know what I mean by that?

• 1:19:50Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 1:19:51Bobby Lee?

  What, then?

• 1:19:52Speaker 02

  Well, I, I feel like there's no barriers and there's, there used to be a little bit of a thud.

• 1:19:56Bobby Lee?

  Yes, yes, yes.

• 1:19:56Speaker 02

  And now when I see you in the hallway,

• 1:19:58Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:19:58Speaker 02

  even if it's just a quick hi and bye, I always say, "I love you, Bobby."

• 1:20:01Bobby Lee?

  I love you too.

• 1:20:02Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:20:02Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's, that, I don't know if that's old age, I don't know if it's because of the generation that we came up in, but it's like, that's, it never used to be like that. It used to be more competitive, I guess, and, um, there was a little bit of jealousy. Not, not, not in terms of me to you. I've had jealousy with other comics. Yeah, I've been mad about certain things. You know what I mean? About, you know, especially roles.

• 1:20:26Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:20:26Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean? And like, I can't get in. You know what I mean?

• 1:20:29Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:20:29Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:20:30Speaker 02

  I think it's so unfortunate when certain, especially comics, mostly comics, because that's our world, hold on to those kind of grudges and stuff. And I know some to this day that can't just be like, we can be cool with each other now. We got families, we have deeper, I have deeper faith, we have deep, like, we can be cool. And, and that to me is where it's like, I'd love to be sitting at more tables with even more comics we know, and some of them just won't reach out. And I'm like, I wonder what's causing them to feel a blockade, because I'd really be interested in their story as well. It's like, this is a moment to talk about my story, but in reality, I'm gonna use this moment to then begin a platform where I get to have other people come and talk about what, what they've been through.

• 1:21:10Speaker 00

  And I, I'm a little hesitant to ask about this, but I am curious.

• 1:21:14Speaker 02

  Nine inches.

• 1:21:16Speaker 00

  That's it. That was it.

• 1:21:17Bobby Lee?

  Probably big head, too.

• 1:21:18Speaker 00

  Yeah, it's good.

• 1:21:19Bobby Lee?

  Let's move on.

• 1:21:19Speaker 02

  Bald head.

• 1:21:20Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, it's white head, yeah, yeah.

• 1:21:22Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:21:22Speaker 02

  Yeah. Hesitant about what?

• 1:21:25Speaker 00

  Uh, well, because you talk about like grudges and beefs in the comedy community and eventually getting over it and all this stuff. And I know there was some contention with like Louis and that whole thing. And then you go on his show and all that stuff. Was that a big like squash the beef moment?

• 1:21:38Speaker 02

  I think so.

• 1:21:39Speaker 00

  He calls you and says, "I wanna, I want you to come do my show."

• 1:21:40Speaker 02

  Yeah, and Louis and I have been great for a lot of years as well. It, that, that was almost like the early version of a couple of comics have a squabble and, but the internet really took things.

• 1:21:51Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:21:51Speaker 02

  Set up. I mean, talk about just like elevating it to a place where even I at that time was like, this is so ridiculous. And, and it hurt. I mean, it really did. It was like, damn, this sucks, because I also respect Louis. But not only are we good, when he called me to do the show, that was his version of, "I'm gonna take the boot off your neck," because he knew, he put it there. So, I, I will say this honestly, I did that episode of his show, and then I remember saying to him after, like, "Cut, we're done." And I knew just by way of us sitting there, I said, I said, "Louis, just think about what we could have done if this fucking didn't have to be part of our narrative." Just think about what we could make and maybe still make.

• 1:22:28Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:22:28Speaker 02

  If, you know what I mean? So, to me, it's like, uh, if that's another example of like squash beefs. If you have beef with people,

• 1:22:35Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:22:35Speaker 02

  do not let that stuff like linger. Don't let it get on the, stuck on the internet wall. Just like go to-

• 1:22:41Bobby Lee?

  Why are you smiling?

• 1:22:41Speaker 02

  No, just-

• 1:22:42Bobby Lee?

  No, no, why?

• 1:22:43Speaker 02

  Are you dealing with something?

• 1:22:44Bobby Lee?

  No, no, no, why, why are you smiling?

• 1:22:45Speaker 02

  Be honest.

• 1:22:46Bobby Lee?

  I think you're smiling at me.

• 1:22:46Speaker 02

  Be honest.

• 1:22:47Speaker 00

  Beef.

• 1:22:47Bobby Lee?

  Are you smiling at me?

• 1:22:48Speaker 00

  Yeah, little, beefs, it's interesting. I don't know, I'm-

• 1:22:50Bobby Lee?

  No, no, no, no, go, say what you're gonna say. Because you smiled, you smirked.

• 1:22:53Speaker 00

  Wow, we all have beefs.

• 1:22:54Bobby Lee?

  No, no, no, go, go, say what you're gonna say.

• 1:22:55Speaker 02

  You have a beef?

• 1:22:56Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:22:56Speaker 00

  No, I mean, we all have beefs in this world. It's an interesting concept to hear.

• 1:22:59Bobby Lee?

  Oh, so it's not a personal-

• 1:23:00Speaker 00

  Not a personal attack.

• 1:23:00Bobby Lee?

  Attack on me, okay.

• 1:23:01Speaker 02

  You have any beefs?

• 1:23:02Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:23:02Speaker 02

  What?

• 1:23:02Speaker 00

  Any beefs?

• 1:23:02Speaker 02

  So, there's no grievances you wanna air right now?

• 1:23:05Bobby Lee?

  I don't have any grievances. And I'm gonna say this too, right, Jack? All right?

• 1:23:08Speaker 02

  Grievances going one.

• 1:23:10Bobby Lee?

  Hey, Captain, hold on.

• 1:23:10Speaker 00

  I, I have one.

• 1:23:11Bobby Lee?

  Go ahead.

• 1:23:11Speaker 00

  Uh, there's been, I don't know how many Bobby Lee and Friends shows at the Comedy Store.

• 1:23:17Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:23:17Speaker 00

  I thought you and I were friends.

• 1:23:18Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, we are friends.

• 1:23:20Speaker 00

  I haven't done any.

• 1:23:21Bobby Lee?

  I don't book those.

• 1:23:23Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:23:23Bobby Lee?

  I, I show up on Sundays, I go, "Who's on the lineup? Am I not right?"

• 1:23:26Speaker 00

  No, he's correct.

• 1:23:26Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. You can do Sunday.

• 1:23:28Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:23:28Bobby Lee?

  I don't give a fuck.

• 1:23:29Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:23:30Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, why would I give a fuck?

• 1:23:30Speaker 00

  Well, we squashed our beef. I'm glad I brought it up.

• 1:23:32Bobby Lee?

  There was no beef.

• 1:23:33Speaker 02

  Nice, nice work, Luke. You know what? That was quick. That was tidy. I will ask one quick follow-up question. Do you know the person who's in charge of-

• 1:23:39Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, I do, I do, I know.

• 1:23:41Speaker 02

  You could do a phone call and quickly say, "Hey."

• 1:23:42Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, but I refuse to.

• 1:23:43Speaker 02

  Ah, that's right.

• 1:23:43Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I refuse to. Here's another thing that-

• 1:23:45Speaker 02

  That's fair.

• 1:23:45Bobby Lee?

  Uh, here's, yeah, because I think you're, I think you're alluding to, my friend, that I am one that creates beef, or I am in beef. Or, or I'm in, yeah, yeah. It's all for show.

• 1:23:54Speaker 00

  Sure.

• 1:23:54Bobby Lee?

  I do it for a podcasting reason.

• 1:23:56Speaker 02

  That's right.

• 1:23:56Bobby Lee?

  I, I, I, I, I create these narratives.

• 1:23:59Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:24:00Bobby Lee?

  Where there's tension.

• 1:24:00Speaker 02

  Yeah, there's no metal, there's no, there's no malice.

• 1:24:02Bobby Lee?

  There's no malice behind it, friend, all right?

• 1:24:04Speaker 00

  I don't-

• 1:24:05Bobby Lee?

  What, you don't believe it? You don't believe it?

• 1:24:07Speaker 00

  I believe it. No, no, I believe that you are-

• 1:24:09Bobby Lee?

  I'll tell you another thing that I do, Jack.

• 1:24:10Speaker 00

  Tell me about it.

• 1:24:11Bobby Lee?

  If I may call you that, right? Is this, dude, I don't take things as personally anymore, friend.

• 1:24:16Speaker 00

  You don't?

• 1:24:17Bobby Lee?

  All right. I'll give you an example. The other day, I was at, um, a restaurant.

• 1:24:21Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:24:22Bobby Lee?

  And I saw a director. I don't know him. Big fan, though. And from across the room, I go, "What's up?", right? Big fan. And he, he acted as if he's never seen me, or, you know what I mean? And we, you know, we have close connections, you know what I mean? And I was like, and I was like, maybe I made it too big?

• 1:24:40Speaker 02

  What was the context? You were in a restaurant far away from him?

• 1:24:43Speaker 00

  He stood up and screamed across the room.

• 1:24:44Speaker 02

  That kinda yell was like-

• 1:24:45Speaker 00

  Yeah, I know.

• 1:24:46Bobby Lee?

  All right, all right.

• 1:24:47Speaker 02

  On two different sides of a canyon.

• 1:24:48Bobby Lee?

  Let's suppose that red chair, right, is the guy.

• 1:24:51Speaker 02

  Fifteen feet away.

• 1:24:52Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I'm here.

• 1:24:53Speaker 00

  What type of restaurant? Paint that, too.

• 1:24:54Bobby Lee?

  Right, it's a, um, I don't wanna, I don't wanna get into the restaurant, but yeah, yeah.

• 1:24:57Speaker 02

  But is, is it a, is it a chilled out place, or is it like a tavern? Is it a honky-tonk?

• 1:25:01Bobby Lee?

  It's a Michelin star restaurant.

• 1:25:02Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 1:25:03Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. And, um-

• 1:25:04Speaker 00

  You're screaming across the room.

• 1:25:06Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, and I go-

• 1:25:06Speaker 02

  Hey!

• 1:25:07Bobby Lee?

  I go, "James Gunn!"

• 1:25:10Speaker 02

  What, what course are you on?

• 1:25:13Bobby Lee?

  It was James Gunn. It was James Gunn. And, and as soon as it came out of my mouth, I was like, "Too loud."

• 1:25:17Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:25:18Bobby Lee?

  Way too loud.

• 1:25:18Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:25:19Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. But he was out already, and then his reaction wasn't what, you know what I mean? And normally, you know, maybe 20 years ago, I would have taken that personally, like-

• 1:25:26Speaker 02

  Right.

• 1:25:27Bobby Lee?

  And ruminated about it, like, "I was too loud, I just burned a bridge," you know, this and that. I don't give a fuck.

• 1:25:31Speaker 00

  Yeah, he might have bone cancer. You don't know.

• 1:25:33Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, good, good callback. Yeah, man, he could have bone cancer.

• 1:25:37Speaker 02

  He probably had, maybe had a set at the Comedy Store in a few minutes.

• 1:25:40Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:25:40Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:25:41Speaker 02

  Yeah, drive him over there.

• 1:25:42Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. So what's next for you, Danny?

• 1:25:45Speaker 02

  What's-

• 1:25:48Speaker 02

  I don't think I've ever been called Danny.

• 1:25:49Speaker 00

  Yeah, Danny.

• 1:25:50Bobby Lee?

  Little Danny.

• 1:25:51Speaker 00

  Well, yeah.

• 1:25:51Speaker 02

  Um, okay, well, obviously, the rest of the year is just gonna be, you know, talking about Funny Money. It's gonna be in Australia, we're gonna go there, UK, it's gonna be all over the world, so-

• 1:26:01Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 1:26:02Speaker 02

  I'm excited about streaming on Netflix and all the different territories. I get to go and talk to fans and just stay behind the, you know, the excitement that people are feeling here. And then, I can't give too much away, but I can say this. There is gonna be a companion piece, let's call it that, because so much has happened since Funny Money, and there's been a lot of new information.

• 1:26:22Speaker 00

  What?

• 1:26:23Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 1:26:23Speaker 02

  There's been a lot of things that I would even say are probably equal to, if not even more dramatic and compelling than what's happened. So, I've been offered by somebody to come do a companion piece, and then I was also, um, knock on wood, meeting with a company that wants to turn it into a series, like, uh, like a Succession meets Breaking Bad kinda thing.

• 1:26:44Bobby Lee?

  Oh, that's cool.

• 1:26:44Speaker 02

  A production house.

• 1:26:45Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 1:26:46Speaker 02

  So I would be executive producing and casting, uh, basically the story of my life.

• 1:26:50Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 1:26:51Speaker 02

  Brother and brother.

• 1:26:52Bobby Lee?

  It's gonna be hard to find you.

• 1:26:53Speaker 02

  Uh, yeah.

• 1:26:55Speaker 00

  I'm right here, man.

• 1:26:55Speaker 02

  Twenty-seven-year-old version of me. Somebody can sort of-

• 1:26:58Bobby Lee?

  I don't know. I don't, you know what's gonna be difficult? Your mannerisms on stage.

• 1:27:01Speaker 02

  Who's gonna be young Bobby Lee? I need a young Bobby.

• 1:27:03Bobby Lee?

  Oh, would I, why would I be in it?

• 1:27:06Speaker 00

  That's good.

• 1:27:06Speaker 02

  I'm gonna have comics.

• 1:27:07Bobby Lee?

  Dublin, bro.

• 1:27:07Speaker 02

  Back in the day, it's gonna be from that era.

• 1:27:10Bobby Lee?

  Oh, that would so cool!

• 1:27:11Speaker 00

  Peter Kim, you should play yourself.

• 1:27:12Speaker 02

  If you don't think, if you don't think I'm gonna have a scene, can I say this?

• 1:27:16Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:27:16Speaker 02

  I'm going, I will say this right now. This show gets made, there'll be a scene at least of somebody, one of the comedians, or me, watching TV and watching Mad TV, and I will put Bobby Lee in some way will be in this series.

• 1:27:29Bobby Lee?

  Wow, wow, wow, wow. Well, you heard it here first!

• 1:27:32Speaker 02

  That's right!

• 1:27:33Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, someone's gonna play me in something. Yeah, yeah. I, I wonder who, probably Jimmy, Jimmy O'Yang, maybe.

• 1:27:40Speaker 00

  Oh, okay.

• 1:27:41Speaker 02

  I like Jimmy.

• 1:27:42Speaker 00

  You gotta cast Charles.

• 1:27:43Bobby Lee?

  I want Charles Milton, though. Milton, dude, I went bowling with this guy, dude.

• 1:27:48Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:27:48Bobby Lee?

  Dude, he's a real true man.

• 1:27:50Speaker 02

  Yeah, no, he's, he's a stud, bro. Look at this guy.

• 1:27:52Bobby Lee?

  His lips, dude?

• 1:27:53Speaker 00

  Can you please play Bobby?

• 1:27:54Speaker 02

  Is he looks-macking?

• 1:27:56Bobby Lee?

  No, that's his natural look, dude.

• 1:27:57Speaker 00

  Oh, wow.

• 1:27:58Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. Anyway, give Danny-

• 1:28:00Speaker 00

  Wait, wait, what question?

• 1:28:01Speaker 02

  I got a question. Questions.

• 1:28:02Speaker 00

  Are you still, are you still playing? And are you, and if you are, are you playing the new Call of Duty?

• 1:28:07Speaker 02

  I am playing Call of Duty, uh-

• 1:28:09Speaker 00

  I played, I played with you a couple of times.

• 1:28:11Speaker 02

  I played the new DMZ mode.

• 1:28:13Speaker 00

  The new DMZ.

• 1:28:13Speaker 02

  And I really like it, but I wanna see what Warzone's doing. I will tell you, my whole life, once I'm done with the PR, can I be very honest, Grand Theft Auto, I'm gonna probably be like two weeks of just like hanging out at home, GTA 6, I hope it's as amazing-

• 1:28:27Bobby Lee?

  We're all gonna do that.

• 1:28:28Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 1:28:28Bobby Lee?

  Okay, we're all gonna fucking do that? Yeah, yeah, you're not special.

• 1:28:31Speaker 02

  And then, and then a big tour, a big tour next year, and a big comedy special, and I can't say where that's gonna be.

• 1:28:37Bobby Lee?

  Okay, you don't have to.

• 1:28:38Speaker 02

  But we got it, we got it fucking going.

• 1:28:40Bobby Lee?

  Let me, you cocksucker, let me tell you something, Danny, all right? You are the worst person to play fucking Warzone with.

• 1:28:45Speaker 00

  Why?

• 1:28:46Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, because you and Steve Ioki, right, are the two worst, because you guys are controlling.

• 1:28:52Speaker 02

  Oh.

• 1:28:52Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I've heard from many people that play with you.

• 1:28:56Speaker 02

  I'm a sergeant first class. What else you want?

• 1:28:59Bobby Lee?

  Get behind the wall, "What are you doing, Lee?" The one time I played with you, "What are you doing, Lee?"

• 1:29:04Speaker 02

  You're, you're pointing the gun in the air.

• 1:29:05Bobby Lee?

  It doesn't matter. People are coming into the fucking map. Will you play War, because I'm, I'm, because-

• 1:29:11Speaker 00

  We're gonna download it today.

• 1:29:12Bobby Lee?

  We're gonna download it today, right?

• 1:29:13Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:29:14Bobby Lee?

  In two weeks, you know what I mean?

• 1:29:16Speaker 00

  Well, we can play DMZ, our multiplayer right now, too.

• 1:29:18Speaker 02

  We can play DMZ for now. I, I think it's good, but I wanna play Warzone.

• 1:29:21Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:29:21Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. I would love to be in a group. You guys don't play, right?

• 1:29:24Speaker 00

  I play, I play.

• 1:29:25Bobby Lee?

  You play, you play?

• 1:29:26Speaker 00

  I wanna play!

• 1:29:28Bobby Lee?

  I play, I play.

• 1:29:29Speaker 00

  You have, you have the new game? I'm pretty good at Warzone. I haven't gotten it, just because I'm kinda like waiting to hear, people seem like they like it, so I'm like, okay, maybe I will.

• 1:29:36Bobby Lee?

  But so, all right, so, if, if, if you play Warzone, can we have another shot at it?

• 1:29:42Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 1:29:43Speaker 00

  You'll have an advantage.

• 1:29:44Speaker 02

  And I-

• 1:29:44Bobby Lee?

  And your tone will be different.

• 1:29:45Speaker 02

  My tone will be different.

• 1:29:46Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:29:46Speaker 02

  Absolutely different.

• 1:29:47Bobby Lee?

  I'm not good.

• 1:29:48Speaker 02

  Yeah. If you call me Danny, though, I might- This I don't like.

• 1:29:51Bobby Lee?

  You don't like it?

• 1:29:52Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:29:52Bobby Lee?

  Oh, yeah, all right. Does it really offend you?

• 1:29:54Speaker 02

  No, I didn't, I just, I don't think it's got a ring to it that I enjoy.

• 1:29:58Bobby Lee?

  I know, it's a little annoying.

• 1:30:00Speaker 02

  Danny?

• 1:30:00Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, it sounds annoying.

• 1:30:01Speaker 02

  It sounds like Gumby or something.

• 1:30:02Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, I won't do it again. Anyway, um, guys, give Dane Cook a round of applause.

• 1:30:07Speaker 02

  Legend.
