  It's Dune 3 soundtrack.

  It's clearable Quran.

• 2:03Speaker 00

  Nope, it's Dune.

• 2:05Speaker 03

  It's royalty free.

  Royalty free.

• 2:32Bobby Lee?

  Assalamu alaikum. Another wrong opening?

• 2:35Speaker 00

  Maybe.

• 2:35Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, maybe wrong opening. Um, I apologize for that.

• 2:39Speaker 00

  For what?

• 2:39Bobby Lee?

  But it's for good. Um, I love all people. And I think we're connected. I do.

• 2:47Speaker 00

  Do you?

• 2:48Bobby Lee?

  Do I not?

• 2:49Speaker 00

  Maybe.

• 2:49Bobby Lee?

  Do I not?

• 2:50Speaker 00

  You do.

• 2:50Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 2:51Speaker 00

  You love some more than others.

• 2:53Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, that is absolutely not true.

• 2:56Speaker 00

  You almost said, "Yeah."

• 2:57Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, um, if you look at my face before we introduce everybody in the room, I've been breaking out a lot. So on the left side of my mountain, there's a mountain region of,

• 3:09Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 3:10Bobby Lee?

  I mean, of acne. The one down here, right? Right? And consider my nose the Strait of Hormuz.

• 3:17Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 3:18Bobby Lee?

  It's Iran.

• 3:19Speaker 00

  I see.

• 3:20Bobby Lee?

  The mountainous regions. And I think I did that for this podcast in solidarity.

• 3:25Speaker 00

  I see, I see.

• 3:26Bobby Lee?

  Everybody, one, two, three. Ahhh.

• 3:32Speaker 00

  It's raining men!

• 3:35Speaker 03

  That's the opposite. That's the opposite. You can't. No, no, no. No, no, we don't allow that.

• 3:39Speaker 00

  Haram, haram, haram, haram.

• 3:41Speaker 03

  Oh, this guy, this guy knows what's up.

• 3:43Bobby Lee?

  Um, I, um, we have Zach who's new. You know what I mean? That was, it was a last minute.

• 3:50Speaker 03

  Thank you so much.

• 3:53Bobby Lee?

  Thank you so much. Oh, that's great. Uh, we have an old schooler, Ramsey Badawi, big star now.

• 3:59Speaker 04

  I'm like him.

• 4:00Bobby Lee?

  He was on, uh, a gigantic show that just came out called Comics Unleashed, and I just...

• 4:05Speaker 04

  Oh my god.

• 4:06Bobby Lee?

  My congratulations to you. You've made it in show business. And let's do a salute to you. Dude, that's legacy media, dude.

• 4:15Speaker 04

  Well, it's a rite of passage.

• 4:16Bobby Lee?

  It's a rite of passage, dude.

• 4:17Speaker 04

  Thank you. I needed the $500.

• 4:19Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, it's not about the money, though. It really isn't. It's about...

• 4:22Speaker 04

  It was strictly about...

• 4:22Bobby Lee?

  Optics. It's about, um, being on the center stage with legends.

• 4:29Speaker 04

  Oh, perfect, yeah.

• 4:29Bobby Lee?

  Like Chris Milhouse.

• 4:32Speaker 04

  Come on, dude.

• 4:33Bobby Lee?

  Who's in your class?

• 4:35Speaker 04

  I don't know.

• 4:35Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, who's he? Yeah, yeah. Good question, Zach.

• 4:37Speaker 04

  Paint the couches next to it.

• 4:39Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, cat. Give me the...

• 4:39Speaker 04

  Paint the chairs.

• 4:40Bobby Lee?

  Cat, cat. The cast.

• 4:42Speaker 04

  I literally do not know.

• 4:44Bobby Lee?

  No, no, no. You tested me the other day.

• 4:46Speaker 04

  I swear to god. I sent you the thing.

• 4:47Bobby Lee?

  You didn't memorize the three guys that you were on a show with?

• 4:50Speaker 03

  You'll never believe this. He goes, "Guess where I am?" And you send your picture up.

• 4:54Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 4:55Speaker 04

  I don't know one of the people.

• 4:56Bobby Lee?

  You didn't know their names? You can't even remember? Wow, that's uninteresting.

• 5:00Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 5:00Bobby Lee?

  Because sometimes you get the big ones in there.

• 5:03Speaker 04

  Yes, I did not get any of the big ones. They were very nice people. I just didn't know.

• 5:06Bobby Lee?

  Maybe you were the big one.

• 5:07Speaker 04

  It could have been.

• 5:08Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. Is it aired?

• 5:10Speaker 04

  It's airing, uh, May 28th.

• 5:11Speaker 03

  I can do a viewing party?

• 5:14Speaker 03

  We should all go.

• 5:15Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 5:15Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah.

• 5:16Bobby Lee?

  We should run out to Hollywood.

• 5:18Speaker 05

  Merrick Cooper, Mike Manola, Chase Anthony, and Ramsey Badawi, new.

• 5:23Speaker 04

  Thank you.

• 5:23Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, Ramsey Badawi.

• 5:25Speaker 00

  8:35 on CBS.

• 5:27Speaker 03

  Did Byron lead you in really well?

• 5:29Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 5:29Speaker 03

  He's like, "Ramsey, you have a dog."

• 5:31Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 5:33Speaker 04

  He actually went, "What makes you mad?" That was it. That was one of the, one of the lead-ins. "What makes you mad?"

• 5:38Speaker 03

  And that dovetailed perfectly into your mad thing?

• 5:39Speaker 04

  It's all my, what I'm mad about.

• 5:41Speaker 03

  Do you think anybody at home is like, feels like it's super organic, like? Like, we know how it works behind the scenes?

• 5:46Bobby Lee?

  God, Byron really must know this person.

• 5:49Speaker 03

  Yeah, or they just all have, like, amazing jokes about these topics.

• 5:52Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah.

• 5:53Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. Um, so how is the prep prep? Do you, is there, you get there early? And then they, somebody, you have a handler?

• 6:02Speaker 04

  Uh, somewhat.

• 6:04Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, and they go, okay, cause let me know, how do we set up? Your joke, what jokes?

• 6:08Speaker 04

  I sent them all my jokes. They asked me to send a transcript of my material.

• 6:13Bobby Lee?

  Oh, not audio, just on, on a page?

• 6:16Speaker 04

  Just on a page.

• 6:17Speaker 03

  How does that feel? Like, when you have to break down your act and actually type it? Do you feel like a fraud, like, then I tell her?

• 6:24Speaker 03

  You're like a court stenographer? And you're like, what the fuck? When you see your jokes in written form, you're like, what the fuck am I doing?

• 6:30Bobby Lee?

  And, and sometimes the punchline is a physical thing, right? So did you have to put in parentheses? This is where I might raise my hand up, right? And I do a little dance. Does the worm.

• 6:38Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, in brackets, Ramsey gets up and does the worm.

• 6:41Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 6:42Speaker 00

  How do you do yours set then?

• 6:43Bobby Lee?

  That's why I've never done it. Well, I've never been asked. I think that's the most important thing.

• 6:47Speaker 04

  I can hook you up with the connect if you want to do it.

• 6:51Bobby Lee?

  So I already, so this is what really happened. Um, and then we're gonna get to you and your show.

• 6:55Speaker 03

  No, I don't care. No, I'm here for the, I'm here for the hang.

• 6:58Bobby Lee?

  And, and, and all the things that you've been doing in the business. And I'm very excited for you. But, um, Monday night, I was in a fever dream.

• 7:07Speaker 04

  You were?

• 7:08Bobby Lee?

  And I just, I, I just couldn't stop watching on Comics on Life.

• 7:12Speaker 04

  Oh.

• 7:12Bobby Lee?

  What's, why, why'd you laugh at that, Zach? Well, it's just, that's a weird fever dream.

• 7:18Speaker 04

  I'm getting texts from Bobby at like 1:15 a.m. being like, what is this? This, what is going, and then at 2, he's, he's going through.

• 7:25Bobby Lee?

  It kept going, it kept going.

• 7:26Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 7:26Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, my fever dream. And, um, number one, I think, and I'm being quite honest here.

• 7:35Speaker 04

  Thank you.

• 7:35Bobby Lee?

  Great show.

• 7:38Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 7:39Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 7:39Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, good.

• 7:40Speaker 03

  I believe it.

• 7:41Bobby Lee?

  Great show. Um, not great in the way you would think it's great. It's great in a, um, why are you smiling?

• 7:52Speaker 03

  I'm keeping the same face.

• 7:53Speaker 04

  We're all nervous.

• 7:55Bobby Lee?

  No, no, no, no, no. Your eyes, your eyes are doing something diabolical. I don't like it. They're Filipino eyes. Oh, they are? Filipino eyes. Red and puffy and scared, okay? Filipino eyes. Okay.

• 8:07Bobby Lee?

  Red, puffy and scared. So, um, saw a great movie the other day, Obsession.

• 8:11Speaker 03

  I keep hearing about it.

• 8:12Bobby Lee?

  Oh, my god.

• 8:12Speaker 03

  Twenty-six-year-old YouTuber, it'd be amazing, talk of the town.

• 8:15Bobby Lee?

  I mean, it's gonna make a hundred million dollars and it costs less than a million to make.

• 8:18Speaker 03

  Jeez.

• 8:19Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, anyway. Um, I was obsessed with Comics Unleashed, and the reason why is, um...

• 8:30Bobby Lee?

  Everyone on the show are great comics. I, I, I'm friends with them.

• 8:34Speaker 03

  Mm-hmm.

• 8:34Bobby Lee?

  Right? There's just something about this format that doesn't really, you know what I mean? You can't really get your muscle out there, your point of view and who you are in a thirty-second joke.

• 8:45Speaker 03

  Yeah. Yeah, it's almost a relic of yesteryear. Like, it made sense at a certain period of time.

• 8:49Bobby Lee?

  Yes.

• 8:50Speaker 03

  Almost like late night.

• 8:51Bobby Lee?

  Hmm.

• 8:51Speaker 03

  After COVID, late night kind of felt false. Like, why are we pretending to do this thing?

• 8:55Bobby Lee?

  Hmm.

• 8:56Speaker 03

  And then now with Colbert going to that YouTube channel, and it's like so much more fresh.

• 8:59Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 8:59Speaker 03

  Than doing this pretend thing of like, "The Colgate Hour." It felt like that, you know?

• 9:04Bobby Lee?

  It felt like state-sponsored television.

• 9:06Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 9:07Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 9:07Speaker 03

  Or this is what we used to do. This is how we used to consume entertainment.

• 9:09Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 9:10Speaker 03

  But back in the day, it made sense, just like, joke, joke, joke, joke.

• 9:13Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, so, um, my point of view is about it is that I think it's great for young comics.

• 9:19Speaker 03

  Uh-huh. Is there any buts?

• 9:21Bobby Lee?

  No.

• 9:21Speaker 03

  No. You think it's great for everybody?

• 9:23Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I think that you really have to focus on the dance when you're coming out.

• 9:27Speaker 03

  You got it.

• 9:28Bobby Lee?

  And that's pretty much what I've been watching.

• 9:30Speaker 03

  Wait, is there a dance?

• 9:31Bobby Lee?

  No, my dance... It's a, they call your name and there's a, there's a, a split where you have to get to the stage.

• 9:36Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 9:37Bobby Lee?

  And you have to go through this mini hallway where you're exposed to the, um, the audience.

• 9:41Speaker 03

  And they all have their funny way of...

• 9:42Bobby Lee?

  And they, and they, and, yeah, one guy's doing this.

• 9:45Speaker 03

  Wait, is this like the Jennifer Hudson?

• 9:46Bobby Lee?

  It's the... Yeah!

• 9:47Speaker 03

  Really?

• 9:48Bobby Lee?

  That is, yeah, yeah. People, "Come on!" You know what I mean?

• 9:52Speaker 03

  How long's the dance last?

• 9:53Bobby Lee?

  It's, it's probably very short. Probably like, you're talking about three seconds.

• 9:56Speaker 03

  What if they pivot and it's ninety percent of the show? Just turn to the full train?

• 10:00Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 10:01Speaker 03

  They go, "We're looking at the stats." The retention is great for the dance out.

• 10:04Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 10:04Speaker 03

  The jokes they don't love so much.

• 10:06Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, so now you were getting to what I pitched literally Tuesday to the people.

• 10:13Speaker 04

  Oh, you spoke to the people at Comics Unleashed without me?

• 10:16Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, without you.

• 10:17Speaker 04

  As an intermediary?

• 10:18Bobby Lee?

  Well, here's the funny thing is is that I I happen to have a better link than you have there.

• 10:24Speaker 04

  Is that so?

• 10:25Bobby Lee?

  Well.

• 10:25Speaker 04

  Even though I'm an alumni.

• 10:29Bobby Lee?

  You have your photo on the wall.

• 10:31Speaker 04

  I'm one of the.

• 10:32Bobby Lee?

  That is true. You're on the wall, but the executive producer of the show used to open for me. Whoa. Wow.

• 10:40Speaker 04

  Whoa.

• 10:40Bobby Lee?

  For years. Plot twist. Okay, and we we shared the same manager.

• 10:44Speaker 04

  Okay. Okay, fine. You've got a better connection.

• 10:47Bobby Lee?

  All right, so I think I feel like I have a better connection. Strong connection. What do you think, Zach?

• 10:50Speaker 03

  That's a strong connection.

• 10:51Bobby Lee?

  That's a very.

• 10:52Speaker 03

  Pretty strong.

• 10:52Bobby Lee?

  As strong as you probably could get.

• 10:54Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 10:54Bobby Lee?

  Unless Byron, I had a direct contact to Byron.

• 10:57Speaker 03

  Or you were Byron Allen.

• 10:59Bobby Lee?

  Or. Yeah, I was Weather Channel Byron. Yeah, yeah.

• 11:03Speaker 04

  Do you have a relationship with Byron Allen at all?

• 11:06Bobby Lee?

  I have a feeling and I'm usually right about it that he doesn't like me. Wait, why?

• 11:11Speaker 03

  Really?

• 11:11Bobby Lee?

  Because I did Funny As You Ask my questions, whatever that show is.

• 11:15Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 11:15Bobby Lee?

  What is it called?

• 11:15Speaker 03

  Funny You Should Ask.

• 11:16Bobby Lee?

  Oh, Funny You Should Ask. Okay. I did two episodes of that and I called and I go, because I know, you know, people do it regularly and they're like, yeah, we'll contact you later. Whoa. I think it wasn't my vibe. Yeah.

• 11:31Speaker 03

  What is, what do they do on Funny You Should Ask?

• 11:33Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. So back then it was Louis Anderson, John Lovett, Caroline Ray, these kind of people, and they're all friends of mine. So I'm like, it's it's kind of old school, you know? What was that Hollywood Squarzy? You know what I mean? I'm like, I'll do this. It wasn't like, who are you?

• 11:54Bobby Lee?

  Next to me. You know, it was like everyone on the thing was like a guy that Wayne Fetterman, like I did just people I know, you know? And I see around, like, yeah, that. It's like this stuff. Yeah, I love John. I love, yeah, Louis. Look at Louis.

• 12:07Speaker 04

  Dude, I would crush that part.

• 12:08Bobby Lee?

  Tim Meadows, Tim Meadows, dude, Caroline Ray. Yeah. That was fun. There I am. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's doing the dance. Yeah, so, so, I mean, honestly, you, pause, please. Does that sound like?

• 12:22Speaker 03

  That looks fun.

• 12:22Bobby Lee?

  Fun. You would do, you would do it because you're you're around legends.

• 12:26Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 12:26Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. Yeah. You know, I never did Comics Unleashed because I didn't never, number one, didn't want to burn my material. You know what I mean? And number two, it just isn't my thing. Yeah. Yeah, so I called my manager and I said, we're gonna get your special. No, no, no, I don't care. Alright.

• 12:42Speaker 03

  He was pissed.

• 12:43Bobby Lee?

  I wanna hear that. Yeah, yeah, I called my manager and I go, I have a pitch, and I was dead, and Andrew wants to do it too, Santino. I haven't called the other two guys, but we book Comics Unleashed. Okay. But we make a demand, it's gotta be me, Santino, Tim Dillon, and Burt Kreischer. I mean. That's a great episode. You take it over for an episode? We take it over for an episode. That's amazing. They would love that. That would be awesome. It's not, I'm not done with my explanation, okay? It's all dancing. So, you know, that's, I think you're getting this. Oh my god. So, um, you said that there is a handler that you have that, or you write out your jokes. You write out the jokes. We would do that too. Of course. You know what I mean? You're gonna ask me about how my, how my, how's your new lawnmower? Right? I love that one.

• 13:28Bobby Lee?

  And you and I are gonna come up with a joke about lawnmower. Yeah. Right? And then Tim and everyone will do the same, right? So when Byron brings up the lawnmower, I'm gonna go, there's a genocide in Gaza.

• 13:42Bobby Lee?

  They're quite literally mowing the lawn. Something of that ilk, you know what I mean? Like something that has nothing to do with what he asked.

• 13:52Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean? Yeah, and then what's gonna happen, everyone's gonna be like that. I want Tim to do a three-minute rant of whatever he wants to rant about. About the Hollywood Hills and mudslides or whatever. The fires. Yeah, the fires or whatever, and the conspiracy behind it. Byron cannot interrupt him, because when Tim's going, he's a locomotive. Sure. Okay? Somewhere during Tim's speech about the fires or whatever, right? I'm gonna collapse the ground. Right? And Andrew's gonna say that I have a condition. And you can't call the cop, don't stop the show, just let him sit, he'll wake up eventually.

• 14:30Speaker 03

  This is like performance art, comics unleashed.

• 14:32Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 14:32Speaker 03

  It's the highest.

• 14:33Bobby Lee?

  What? This is amazing. It's amazing, yeah. And then, you know what I mean, Bert, no one will answer the questions that they do, you know what I mean? Maybe, you know, Byron will ask Bert a question and Bert just stares at him for as long as he can, like for 45 seconds.

• 14:47Speaker 03

  Question, is Bert's shirt on or off at the?

• 14:49Bobby Lee?

  Completely off.

• 14:50Speaker 03

  It's off, of course.

• 14:50Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, he comes on off, right? I would demand Andrew, us and us to try to do the longest dances that we can do to get to the stage. If it will make it a contest, you know what I mean? I think I'll make 15 minutes. Yeah, insane, 15 minutes? Yeah, I mean, they'll cut around it.

• 15:07Speaker 03

  You're all just sweaty and.

• 15:08Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, they're gonna cut around, they're gonna cut around it, right? And then, at one point, toward the end of the show, I get back up. Right, I go, what happened? Yeah, so sort of Kaufman-esque kind of a thing, you know what I mean? You guys wanna see my dog? I wanna see it. Yeah. And so, honey, you know, my, my housekeeper is gonna come out with.

• 15:30Speaker 03

  Dancing?

• 15:30Bobby Lee?

  In a dominatrix outfit. She agree to this? No, I, I, I'll make her do it, I'll pay her whatever she wants, from neck to toe, right? And she's gonna bring out Julio.

• 15:42Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, I, I know, but Julio with a muzzle. Okay. Yeah, I have a dog Julio that's the most homicidal dog. He'll bite you. It will do. Like a Tasmanian devil, right? Dick bite. And I will just go around, you know what I mean? He's gonna go crazy and at one point, Byron's gonna be so scared. Yeah. Yeah, he'll be so scared, right? Horrified.

• 16:02Speaker 03

  This is like the first episode where comics will really be unleashed.

• 16:08Bobby Lee?

  I wanna unleash them.

• 16:09Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 16:09Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. So I think that, um, and then my manager said, no. Yeah. It doesn't have to be exactly what I said, I'm just saying we could get, me, uh, we, four could get together and figure something fun to do.

• 16:22Speaker 03

  Float it, I think it's worth floating it by them.

• 16:24Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 16:24Speaker 03

  I'm sure they'd be down.

• 16:25Bobby Lee?

  Because I think that it'll do way better numbers than they think.

• 16:29Speaker 03

  Of course, they'd go crazy on YouTube.

• 16:31Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, we.

• 16:31Speaker 03

  The clips would be insane.

• 16:32Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, but I would.

• 16:33Speaker 03

  It would be insane.

• 16:34Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I, I would tell Byron, I go, I would go, you can't edit, I mean, we edit it. For this one show.

• 16:40Speaker 03

  Oof.

• 16:41Bobby Lee?

  FDA, we will not cross those lines.

• 16:43Speaker 03

  Sure.

• 16:43Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean?

• 16:44Speaker 03

  Well, that's crazy. That's Food and Drug Administration.

• 16:48Speaker 03

  That's how crazy you guys are getting where the FDA is getting involved? The FCC, sure, but the FDA?

• 16:54Bobby Lee?

  We can't let this.

• 16:55Speaker 03

  You're like, we're gonna poison the beef supply?

• 16:58Speaker 04

  Nope, so confused. I was like, Red Dy 80?

• 17:02Bobby Lee?

  FCC.

• 17:02Speaker 03

  We're gonna put Ebola, what, from Comments Unleashed? They package frozen vegetables?

• 17:08Bobby Lee?

  FCC, FCC, I'm at FCC.

• 17:11Speaker 03

  The FDA?

• 17:12Bobby Lee?

  FDA, yeah, yeah, NRA, they're all gonna be involved.

• 17:18Bobby Lee?

  AAA.

• 17:19Speaker 03

  All the agencies get involved? I, yeah, yeah. Helicopters flying.

• 17:24Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But what do you think of that idea?

• 17:27Speaker 03

  I love it.

• 17:28Bobby Lee?

  Are you being sincere?

• 17:29Speaker 03

  No, for real.

• 17:30Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 17:30Speaker 03

  That would just be so cool because it feels like, I mean, not stale, but something of the yesteryear, and it's a great opportunity for young comics, but to inject this new into it?

• 17:38Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 17:39Speaker 03

  I think if they were cool, they would let you guys take over for one episode.

• 17:42Bobby Lee?

  One episode.

• 17:43Speaker 03

  And it would draw a lot of attention to the show and it'd become kind of fun.

• 17:45Bobby Lee?

  But they don't get to edit.

• 17:47Speaker 03

  Yeah, you get final cut.

• 17:48Bobby Lee?

  But, but the FCC will look at it and we won't cross any lines.

• 17:52Speaker 05

  Would you edit in the canned laughter? Or would it just be like an awkward silence?

• 17:56Speaker 03

  Whoa, that's, that's, that's.

• 17:57Bobby Lee?

  Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

• 17:58Speaker 04

  Are you saying that?

• 18:12Bobby Lee?

  BlueChew.

• 18:16Bobby Lee?

  You guys, BlueChew, dude.

• 18:19Speaker 03

  That was awesome.

• 18:19Bobby Lee?

  I'm 54 years old and I get ED and I only use BlueChew. I'll tell you why. Cause it works.

• 18:25Speaker 03

  Ah.

• 18:25Bobby Lee?

  If your lady or your fellow, whatever, or that person that sends you an eggplant emoji at 2 a.m.

• 18:31Speaker 03

  Uh huh.

• 18:32Bobby Lee?

  Is ready for better sex, then you should be too. And that's all, that's all I'm saying. Politically, that's what I'm saying.

• 18:36Speaker 04

  100% agree.

• 18:37Bobby Lee?

  And that's where BlueChew comes in. They have been on a mission for years to get you bricked up.

• 18:41Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 18:41Bobby Lee?

  Build your confidence and help you actually perform in the bedroom. And Ramsey, the new arousal boosting formula, BlueChew Gold, is helping millions of people, men, have better sex in 2026. And that's a fact.

• 18:52Speaker 04

  100% true.

• 18:53Bobby Lee?

  While most ED meds only focus on blood flow, BlueChew focused further by combining two ingredients for blood flow and two ingredients for mental arousal and connection. So you're not just physically ready. You're actually in the mood, guy. This type of innovation is why BlueChew Gold is the number one brand in erectile function.

• 19:11Speaker 00

  Ramsey, you've been being bricked up lately?

• 19:13Speaker 04

  Yeah, you know, I'm a young man, but sometimes you need the extra help. You need the boost. You're tired. It's been a long day.

• 19:20Speaker 00

  Now rap about it.

• 19:21Speaker 04

  You don't feel connected because BlueChew, okay, can we, keeps me erected.

• 19:27Bobby Lee?

• 22:44Speaker 00

  It's just gas. I don't know.

• 22:46Speaker 04

  Pulling it hot first time.

• 22:47Speaker 03

  I don't know if the rabid dog would.

• 22:49Bobby Lee?

  We're gonna put in our own audience.

• 22:52Speaker 04

  Oh, it's your own audience?

• 22:53Bobby Lee?

  Oh. No, no, yeah, we're gonna promote it. We're like, we're doing this. Bring our audience in.

• 22:58Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 22:59Bobby Lee?

  Or keep the televis- because they're paid.

• 23:02Speaker 04

  Of course, they're.

• 23:03Bobby Lee?

  So all television audiences get fifty dollars apiece to sit there all day long.

• 23:06Speaker 03

  I would like it was just that.

• 23:07Bobby Lee?

  I'd be too.

• 23:08Speaker 03

  They have to see this and they're from like Omaha and they're like, what's happening?

• 23:12Bobby Lee?

  And they don't know, they don't know what's about to, you mean develop.

• 23:15Speaker 04

  Surprise.

• 23:16Bobby Lee?

  They go, oh, we've seen this show on television.

• 23:18Speaker 03

  Right, right.

• 23:18Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 23:19Speaker 03

  Or we'll tell them that they're gonna watch like a Tim Allen sitcom or something.

• 23:21Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 23:23Speaker 03

  And then this is like so left of that.

• 23:24Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. So audience responses, I think will be, oh.

• 23:28Speaker 04

  Yeah, they'll be very.

• 23:29Bobby Lee?

  And then lots of silence.

• 23:31Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 23:31Bobby Lee?

  And, and I'm, and I'll be, feel free to mumble.

• 23:35Speaker 04

  You'll say that?

• 23:37Bobby Lee?

  Well, I mean, before we'll have our own warm up.

• 23:40Speaker 03

  Is your warm up guy even fucking weird? Like, he's not even doing the job of getting the.

• 23:43Bobby Lee?

  It'll be back flame or, yeah, yeah.

• 23:46Speaker 04

  Perfect.

• 23:46Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. King Kai's, um, yeah.

• 23:49Speaker 03

  He goes, where are you from? Oh, that's cool. And then he goes to another person.

• 23:53Bobby Lee?

  So we'll get all the information out about like, just laugh, you know, if you want, you don't have to. This is gonna be a weird one. And then, and then we'll do it. And, um, well, they also, they promote it. So they go, next episode, you know what I mean?

• 24:05Speaker 04

  Oh, yeah.

• 24:06Bobby Lee?

  Andrew Santino, Bobby Lee, uh, Burt Kreischer, Tim Dillon, or we could even Theo, whoever wants to do it. You know what I mean? And we'll just see what happens.

• 24:16Speaker 03

  I love that when they cut to the clips of like, next episode is just insanity. Like, Burt has cuts on his body. Like, you're vomiting.

• 24:24Speaker 04

  Dog is a muppet.

• 24:26Speaker 03

  This seems like a real pivot for the show.

• 24:28Speaker 04

  How would Byron deal, like, is he?

• 24:30Bobby Lee?

  He won't do it.

• 24:31Speaker 04

  I'll tell you what, yeah, I think he's a panic button. He would hit it and the set would turn into Judge Judy or something.

• 24:36Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 24:36Speaker 04

  Completely flipped.

• 24:37Speaker 03

  Or what if you recast Byron just for that one episode?

• 24:40Bobby Lee?

  Oh, a Byron impersonator.

• 24:41Speaker 03

  Suit or something?

• 24:42Bobby Lee?

  Oh, yeah. Byron's sick.

• 24:45Speaker 03

  Yeah, Byron's filling in for Byron, playing the role of Byron Allen.

• 24:48Bobby Lee?

  He's in Congo. He got the, he got the E.

• 24:52Bobby Lee?

  Be sick? Yeah, he'll be fine. You got the E, the A-ball.

• 24:56Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. Oh, wherever. There's an excuse.

• 24:58Speaker 04

  Sure.

• 24:58Speaker 05

  Any country.

• 25:01Speaker 05

  Happen anywhere.

• 25:02Bobby Lee?

  Oh, I, that was the first one that just came up behind me. I'm sorry, Argentina, Honto. But anyway, um, wherever.

• 25:07Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 25:08Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 25:08Speaker 04

  Sudan.

• 25:09Bobby Lee?

  Went bird watching in Venezuela. He got a little tummy ache. Yeah, yeah, we can do that.

• 25:14Speaker 03

  You got like Idris Elba? Just get a huge black.

• 25:16Bobby Lee?

  Oh, yeah, yeah, I mean.

• 25:18Speaker 04

  Or a small one. Like a tiny, like Kevin Hart, you know, like a tiny black guy.

• 25:22Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. I don't think Kevin would do it, but uh, maybe Cat Williams would do it.

• 25:26Speaker 05

  Oh, he might.

• 25:27Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. But anyway, um, what do you think of that pitch?

• 25:29Speaker 03

  I'm for it.

• 25:30Speaker 05

  Amazing.

• 25:30Speaker 03

  So your manager won't even float it by them?

• 25:33Bobby Lee?

  No.

• 25:33Speaker 04

  Can I, can I say something? I'm against it.

• 25:35Speaker 03

  Wait, why?

• 25:36Bobby Lee?

  Why?

• 25:36Speaker 04

  You're making a mockery of a television show that I was on.

• 25:40Speaker 05

  Wow.

• 25:40Speaker 03

  That is fair. It is an institution.

• 25:42Speaker 04

  You're making a mockery of my biggest credit.

• 25:47Bobby Lee?

  That would, okay, uh, uh, dream bigger. And I think that's the real message here on today's special. Dream bigger.

• 25:55Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 25:56Bobby Lee?

  I mean, it's like, I did the Tonight Show on Jay Leno in two thousand and one or whatever.

• 25:59Speaker 03

  Did that change your life?

• 26:00Bobby Lee?

  No.

• 26:01Speaker 03

  Really? Even then?

• 26:02Bobby Lee?

  It did nothing.

• 26:03Speaker 05

  Wow, that's crazy.

• 26:04Speaker 03

  I thought you did it in an era where at least.

• 26:06Bobby Lee?

  No, it did absolutely nothing for my career. It doesn't matter, right? Um, especially in the day and age of the internet, it doesn't matter. It's all the same.

• 26:18Speaker 03

  Same with me. I did it like twenty twenty-five. It was fun to do.

• 26:22Bobby Lee?

  With the Tonight Show?

• 26:23Speaker 03

  Yeah, but it did nothing.

• 26:24Bobby Lee?

  It does nothing.

• 26:25Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 26:25Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 26:26Speaker 03

  I call it like going to the Magic Castle for comedians.

• 26:28Bobby Lee?

  Yes.

• 26:28Speaker 03

  You dress up, you pretend that you're a famous comedian from the eighties, and then you have a steak afterwards.

• 26:33Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 26:33Speaker 03

  You wake up and your life is no different.

• 26:35Bobby Lee?

  No one calls.

• 26:36Speaker 03

  You have cool pictures, but that's about it.

• 26:37Bobby Lee?

  No one calls.

• 26:38Speaker 04

  Nobody called when you did the Tonight Show?

• 26:39Bobby Lee?

  No one called.

• 26:40Speaker 03

  What year did you do it?

• 26:41Bobby Lee?

  Two thousand and one.

• 26:42Speaker 03

  I feel like, for some reason, I feel like it still did stuff then.

• 26:45Speaker 05

  Does it make your parents proud at least? You know, it's like, no?

• 26:49Bobby Lee?

  I don't think. It, it, no, Zach, you, you, no.

• 26:54Bobby Lee?

  I think my dad, yeah, yeah, yeah, my dad, yeah, yeah, my dad say, my dad goes, "How much did you pay them?"

• 27:02Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, that's what he said. He thought that I had paid them to do it. I'm like, that's not how it works. Cause, cause I want him to feel proud, right? That like, hey, I got on TV. But they thought that anyone could just go, here's a grand, I'm gonna just try to do some comedy. Like Tom Cruise goes, "Thanks for having me on," you know what I mean? But, so they didn't, they don't know how show business work.

• 27:22Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 27:22Bobby Lee?

  I think later on, when they saw me constantly on Mad TV, they were like, "Oh, this is a real," you know?

• 27:29Speaker 03

  That's what it took.

• 27:29Bobby Lee?

  What was the last word they said? "This is a real."

• 27:31Speaker 03

  A real.

• 27:32Bobby Lee?

  Okay.

• 27:33Speaker 03

  Yeah. I brought my parents to The Tonight Show.

• 27:35Bobby Lee?

  Did they, were proud?

• 27:37Speaker 03

  Well, I did it, cause I, I did it just to get the monkey off my back, you know? I felt like, uh, make them proud.

• 27:42Bobby Lee?

  Leave them home.

• 27:43Speaker 03

  The monkey? The monkeys?

• 27:45Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 27:46Speaker 03

  Well, but I mean, they wanna watch me do it too. The monkeys wanna see me.

• 27:49Bobby Lee?

  Is it spider? Is it, what is it?

• 27:50Speaker 03

  It's all of them. Chimp, orangutan.

• 27:53Bobby Lee?

  Okay.

• 27:53Speaker 03

  But I thought that would do the thing for my, for my dad, like, okay, maybe he saw me Tonight Show. But it's when I had a writing job and I had a parking space and I went to a building for eight hours.

• 28:01Bobby Lee?

  That's what he was proud of.

• 28:02Speaker 03

  He was like, "Oh, you have a parking spot?" I had a break room.

• 28:06Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 28:06Speaker 03

  They just restock it.

• 28:07Bobby Lee?

  Oh, wow.

• 28:08Speaker 03

  He only understands nine to five businesses.

• 28:10Bobby Lee?

  Ah.

• 28:11Speaker 03

  So like Hollywood shit did nothing to him, but the fact that I go to a building, I sit in a desk for eight hours and I leave, and I have lunch and they pay me, he can wrap his immigrant brain around that. He's like, oh wow, he's doing it.

• 28:23Speaker 04

  Benefits.

• 28:23Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 28:24Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, but you have to, I mean, your parents had to have some sort of concept of what The Tonight Show is.

• 28:31Speaker 03

  That's why I brought them. I'm like, okay, I feel like they kind of know.

• 28:34Bobby Lee?

  Average Americans know conceptually what this means. If your son or daughter

• 28:39Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 28:39Bobby Lee?

  was asked to do this show, what did it mean to your parents? That specific thing, not the writing job.

• 28:46Speaker 03

  I think it meant something, even though my dad didn't verbalize like he did with the writing job. I think the fact of flying to New York, you know, spending some time there as a family, going to 30 Rock, being backstage, saying hi to The Roots, you know, my mom meeting Questlove.

• 29:01Bobby Lee?

  That's insane. Wow.

• 29:03Speaker 03

  Yeah, and then Jimmy coming by and being like, "Oh, nice to meet you," and like, John Oliver's back there too.

• 29:07Bobby Lee?

  What, Jimmy, so Jimmy Fallon met your dad?

• 29:10Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 29:10Bobby Lee?

  Oh, so.

• 29:10Speaker 03

  Jimmy's so nice, man.

• 29:11Bobby Lee?

  Yes, I know, I know him. I know him.

• 29:13Speaker 03

  Oh, okay, well.

• 29:14Bobby Lee?

  Don't accuse me.

• 29:14Speaker 03

  No, not at all, not at all.

• 29:17Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, he's actually nice.

• 29:18Speaker 03

  This isn't an affront to you, Bobby.

• 29:23Speaker 03

  He's great. I've done Conan. No, no, he's great.

• 29:27Bobby Lee?

  That's a top.

• 29:28Speaker 03

  But he was just so accommodating and so personable to my family. And even as a comic, he really sets you up. You're behind the curtains and he's like, his family's in the crowd. Let's give him a lot. He really, he almost does an audience warm up. So you're playing a hot crowd when you come out.

• 29:43Bobby Lee?

  Your dad must have been proud of you.

• 29:45Speaker 03

  Yeah. He, it's like an immigrant cold love.

• 29:49Bobby Lee?

  That didn't.

• 29:49Speaker 03

  It's actions, it's not words. He's not like, wow, you crushed it.

• 29:55Speaker 03

  I love the way you open and then you dovetail. He's not a comedy nerd. Those new gag, oh, then you're closer.

• 30:01Bobby Lee?

  That switch.

• 30:02Speaker 03

  That switch.

• 30:03Bobby Lee?

  Came out of nowhere.

• 30:04Speaker 03

  Then you step on the gas, I knew.

• 30:07Speaker 03

  I did some mics in Kabul and. So I kind of know a few things. It's kind of a colder love.

• 30:13Bobby Lee?

  There's no hug.

• 30:15Speaker 03

  No, I mean, my mom will make us hug sometimes, like.

• 30:19Speaker 03

  Well, because we don't need it, but my mom thinks, she's like, you have to hug each other and we both, it just feels weird. If you didn't grow, like, we do it more now.

• 30:27Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 30:27Speaker 03

  But like, we don't say, I love you. It's implied. I'm very lovey dovey with my mom. My mom is like, where I can be a human.

• 30:34Bobby Lee?

  I think I met your mom.

• 30:34Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 30:35Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I love your mom, yeah.

• 30:36Speaker 03

  And I remember when you used to take me on the road and stuff, you would almost do an intervention with my parents. You'd be like, he's very good at this. You know what I mean? Like, because you knew they were worried about me and stuff. And you go.

• 30:46Bobby Lee?

  Because I relate to, I relate to that. Like, I think, um, Fahim has the same thing. Not Fahim, that's you. Amir Kay has the same thing.

• 30:54Speaker 03

  Amir's hilarious.

• 30:55Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, but I think he has that thing with his dad. Do you, you, your dad?

• 30:59Speaker 04

  Nope, no clue. They don't know what I do.

• 31:00Speaker 03

  Oh.

• 31:01Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 31:02Speaker 03

  Really?

• 31:02Bobby Lee?

  Zach, your dad?

• 31:03Speaker 05

  My dad's dead, but I liked it.

• 31:05Bobby Lee?

  But how does he feel?

• 31:07Speaker 05

  You know, he's with me always. No, he was, he was, he was a white guy. My mom's Moroccan.

• 31:13Bobby Lee?

  Oh, she's Moroccan.

• 31:13Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, she doesn't quite understand. She's just like.

• 31:16Speaker 03

  Casablanca.

• 31:16Bobby Lee?

  Great movie.

• 31:17Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 31:17Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 31:17Speaker 05

  Yeah, that's her, uh, that's her movie.

• 31:19Speaker 04

  Great connection.

• 31:21Speaker 05

  Yeah, no, she.

• 31:22Speaker 04

  Moroccan rugs, those are awesome.

• 31:23Speaker 05

  Moroccan rugs, yeah. Aladdin.

• 31:25Speaker 04

  I liked that a lot.

• 31:26Speaker 05

  Yeah. Uh, she doesn't quite get it.

• 31:30Bobby Lee?

  She didn't get comedy now?

• 31:31Speaker 05

  No, I mean, she doesn't.

• 31:32Bobby Lee?

  The white part?

• 31:33Speaker 05

  No, it doesn't, it doesn't really affect her.

• 31:35Speaker 03

  Does she trust you? Or she's like, I don't get it? Or does she think like you're throwing your life away like it's drugs or something?

• 31:40Speaker 05

  She trusts me, but she always downplays me. Cause she hates parents that brag about their kids. So people say like, oh, I saw your son at the show in San Francisco. And she'll be like, yeah, he's trying to do comedy.

• 31:52Bobby Lee?

  Oh, so she's Moroccan?

• 31:53Speaker 05

  But then she'll tell me she believes in me. I'm like, why don't you tell them you believe in me?

• 31:56Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 31:57Speaker 05

  That's weird.

• 31:58Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I mean, I don't know what that is. I, but here, here's what, here's the, I think the good analysis or is we don't know thirty, forty years ago from, from now, what AI is gonna do. And so my son could be like, I'm a, you know what I mean? I'm an, I'm a space prob, probe. I'm a spaceman probe in space. You know what I mean? And I, I'm, I'm on Venus and I get to pro Venus. And we're like, and we're kinda like, congratulations?

• 32:31Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 32:32Bobby Lee?

  No, that's.

• 32:33Speaker 03

  No, for real. You have no frame of reference.

• 32:35Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, we have no frame of reference of it.

• 32:37Speaker 04

  Yeah, you go, can't you be a YouTuber like everybody else? Be a DJ like your grandpa.

• 32:42Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because we now live in a socialist, you know what I mean? Society where because AI has taken over, that we have to pay probably sixty percent of our population. Give me a guaranteed wage. Cause their jobs are gonna be gone. So then, you know, we're gonna have more artists, more comics, we're gonna have more, you know what I mean?

• 33:02Speaker 03

  Space. You know, the open mics were bad now. Get ready for AI, take away all the jobs and everyone has all this free time.

• 33:08Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, but people have free time doing their own little projects. I think it'll be, if, if that happens, what, what are you doing? Am I too loud?

• 33:15Speaker 00

  No, I'm just adjusting everyone's levels.

• 33:17Bobby Lee?

  Okay, okay.

• 33:18Speaker 00

  I do this all the time.

• 33:20Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, but that's the first time I've ever noticed that.

• 33:22Speaker 03

  The one time he sees you doing your job.

• 33:23Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 33:24Speaker 04

  AI replace him.

• 33:26Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, but, um, yeah, so maybe our parents don't really get what we're doing.

• 33:31Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 33:31Speaker 03

  I know they don't, so I understand it. But when you're seventeen and it's happening, you're like, you don't get me.

• 33:36Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 33:36Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 33:37Speaker 03

  This is my life.

• 33:38Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 33:39Speaker 03

  I don't wanna be a doctor.

• 33:40Bobby Lee?

  You, you also don't know the, the living hell.

• 33:45Bobby Lee?

  To get there.

• 33:46Speaker 03

  You need that level of delusion, like, uh, thank God, little kid me didn't know how long it would take, all the steps and all that. You know what I mean?

• 33:54Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, and the, there's a lot of pain and suffering up until that point that your parents are not aware of.

• 34:01Speaker 03

  Yeah, but I always, I would always tell my parents, I'd be like, whatever the worst case scenario in your mind for me is, and I'm like homeless, doing drugs, just, no, I don't want that for me either.

• 34:09Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 34:09Speaker 03

  I will, I will switch tracks. I'm not gonna keep on doing comedy till I'm eating fish heads out of a dumpster.

• 34:15Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 34:15Speaker 03

  And like, you know, selling my butthole for money or whatever. Like, I don't love comedy that much.

• 34:21Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 34:22Speaker 03

  To do it to that degree.

• 34:23Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 34:23Speaker 03

  Like, if things get really bad, I'll pivot. I'm still an engineer, you know?

• 34:26Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, oh yeah, you could be an engineer.

• 34:28Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 34:28Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 34:28Speaker 04

  You did both, right?

• 34:29Speaker 03

  I did both until I could do comedy full time, so I'm like, I have a fallback.

• 34:33Bobby Lee?

  Can you go back to that?

• 34:34Speaker 03

  I have too much gap in employment at this point. They'd be like, why have you been gone for?

• 34:39Speaker 04

  And you show them your late night.

• 34:39Speaker 03

  Twelve years. I go, I show them this tonight, Joe?

• 34:41Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 34:42Speaker 03

  Will you let me work on planes again?

• 34:43Bobby Lee?

  I do, I think they would let you work on planes again.

• 34:45Speaker 04

  What's a late night clip?

• 34:47Bobby Lee?

  No, okay.

• 34:48Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 34:48Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 34:49Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, were you, well, you, did you have a, yeah, you had some prominent jobs.

• 34:53Speaker 04

  I did, I worked in, I worked.

• 34:54Bobby Lee?

  Governments?

• 34:55Speaker 04

  Yeah, I did, I worked at the State Assembly in California, and I worked at, uh, political consulting firms.

• 35:00Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, and he's also a, a rock star.

• 35:03Speaker 04

  Oh, don't do this to me, Bob.

• 35:04Speaker 03

  Oh, I don't know this.

• 35:05Bobby Lee?

  You don't know this, This Wild Life?

• 35:06Speaker 05

  Yeah, he was in a band.

• 35:07Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 35:08Speaker 04

  I was in a band called This Wild Life, yeah, fantastic band.

• 35:10Speaker 03

  What if I had no idea the whole time? I'm like, I just listen to their music, but I never, I looked at their people.

• 35:15Speaker 04

  He's been bullying me about this for two weeks now. That I had dreams.

• 35:18Speaker 03

  Well, what did you play?

• 35:19Speaker 04

  I played bass.

• 35:20Speaker 03

  I played bass.

• 35:21Speaker 04

  Did you really?

• 35:22Speaker 03

  In orchestra, I was not very good.

• 35:25Speaker 05

  Different vibe.

• 35:26Speaker 04

  You played this thing?

• 35:26Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, because in fourth grade.

• 35:28Bobby Lee?

  Interestingly enough, your orchestra is more famous than This Wild.

• 35:31Speaker 03

  Really? Wow.

• 35:33Speaker 04

  Check it out, new record, I think.

• 35:35Bobby Lee?

  They're big.

• 35:35Speaker 04

  Yeah, they're.

• 35:36Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, they're big. So orchestra what?

• 35:39Speaker 03

  I was in orchestra, they would, they would, uh, you could play electric bass.

• 35:42Speaker 04

  Oh, you played.

• 35:43Speaker 03

  So that's how they get you in. I'm like, oh, cool, I'm like a rock star. But then, once you got to middle school, they take it away and you have to play the upright. And I was tiny, I didn't grow till, so I'm just like a little kid carrying this giant fucking upright bass.

• 35:53Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 35:54Speaker 03

  Putting it on the bus.

• 35:54Bobby Lee?

  Are you good at it?

• 35:55Speaker 03

  No, I was, I was like, whatever. But the cool thing about the bass is it's such a low register that no one could hear how bad you are. She's like, brrr, brrr, brrr, brrr.

• 36:02Bobby Lee?

  Oh, right.

• 36:02Speaker 03

  Brrr, brrr, brrr. If you're violin, everybody knows you.

• 36:04Bobby Lee?

  Everyone knows you, everyone knows you.

• 36:05Speaker 04

  Were your parents proud of orchestra?

• 36:07Speaker 03

  Well, I want, it was something to do to put your kid in it. And then, once I wanted to quit, my dad was so mad. He was like, if you quit this, you'll quit at everything. He wouldn't let me quit. And then, finally, I was able to. I was like, I want to do drama.

• 36:21Bobby Lee?

  It's very Afghanistan.

• 36:22Speaker 04

  Yeah, classic Afghanistan.

• 36:24Bobby Lee?

  Classic Afghanistan.

• 36:25Speaker 05

  They don't quit?

• 36:26Speaker 03

  They don't quit.

• 36:29Bobby Lee?

  Let's be honest, there's a strength about Middle Eastern people in all regions that we're not fully aware of. You know, Koreans are tough because of the Japanese occupation, you know? So, I think it gets passed on generationally. You know, this strength and like, you know what I mean? You don't bully me, you know, you don't, you know, I'm gonna take this to the end.

• 36:56Speaker 04

  Rage.

• 36:57Bobby Lee?

  Not rage, strength.

• 36:59Speaker 04

  Strength and rage.

• 37:00Speaker 03

  Well, it's doing a lot with a little, too. I think even Afghanistan, it's always war-torn, like, the British went in there, and then the Russians, and then America. They always think it's gonna be easy, but it's mountainous, the people are very resilient, so it's not a cakewalk, you know? And then Iran as well, they thought it was gonna be quick, like.

• 37:16Speaker 05

  It's over.

• 37:16Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 37:17Speaker 05

  It's over.

• 37:17Bobby Lee?

  It's not over.

• 37:19Speaker 05

  No, we.

• 37:19Bobby Lee?

  No, wait, wait, wait, wait, Zach, you think it's over?

• 37:22Speaker 05

  Yeah, our country is really great, we won.

• 37:26Bobby Lee?

  No, no, no, no, Zach.

• 37:27Speaker 04

  I'm with Zach on this.

• 37:28Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, no, wait, wait, Zach, where are you getting your information? I want to know, because maybe it is over, I don't know.

• 37:32Speaker 05

  Yeah, Trump, Trump himself.

• 37:33Bobby Lee?

  Oh, he said it on Truth.

• 37:34Speaker 03

  He's in the room.

• 37:35Bobby Lee?

  Oh.

• 37:36Speaker 03

  What if government propaganda is getting into podcasts? And they just have, like, bros with a button up, like, we're killing it. Mission accomplished.

• 37:44Speaker 05

  We did it.

• 37:45Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 37:47Bobby Lee?

  I'll be honest with you, this last weekend, I literally thought, oh, maybe this one is real.

• 37:54Speaker 03

  This war?

• 37:54Bobby Lee?

  This one, no, this particular, like, oh, you're 95%, right? It's just, we just have a couple of things, you know what I mean? Everyone's involved, and I was literally going, oh, this is it, then. You know what I mean? And then, they attack. We attacked the southern region or whatever. So, then, I'm like, I was fooled again.

• 38:16Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 38:16Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, I was fooled again, but, yeah, I, you know, I'm not a political guy, but, um, but I don't do that.

• 38:22Speaker 04

  You guys gotta see Bobby connect with Uber drivers.

• 38:25Bobby Lee?

  Okay, what does that mean?

• 38:27Speaker 04

  Bobby gets into an Uber sometimes, and when he finds out he's from a place, Bobby goes off, dude. Bobby be connected.

• 38:33Bobby Lee?

  I'm with you.

• 38:35Speaker 04

  Bobby's sitting there going over all the battles and all the fights and all the policies.

• 38:40Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I go nuts.

• 38:42Speaker 04

  The Uber drivers love Bobby.

• 38:44Bobby Lee?

  They do love. I tip well and I also great conversational. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 38:48Speaker 04

  They're both talking with their hands.

• 38:50Bobby Lee?

  And there are times where I hug them.

• 38:52Speaker 04

  Oh, for sure.

• 38:52Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, good luck, brother.

• 38:54Speaker 04

  You do, you do.

• 38:54Bobby Lee?

  Yep, my comrade.

• 38:57Speaker 03

  Sometimes you'll cancel a ride with a white person to get a brown. You go, sorry, Devon, I'm waiting for Mahmoud.

• 39:06Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 39:09Bobby Lee?

  So you were joking when you said that it's over.

• 39:11Speaker 05

  No, yeah, it's not over.

• 39:13Bobby Lee?

  Okay, it's not, yeah. So your Moroccan mother, now she's probably more supportive or no?

• 39:19Speaker 05

  You know, if I'm in the local paper, I think would be the greatest.

• 39:22Bobby Lee?

  What's the local paper? What paper?

• 39:23Speaker 03

  Yeah, you're in the paper?

• 39:24Speaker 05

  Like the Ark. Like if I get in her local paper.

• 39:27Bobby Lee?

  Where's the Ark?

• 39:28Speaker 05

  It's in Marin County, Northern California.

• 39:30Bobby Lee?

  You haven't been in that yet?

• 39:31Speaker 05

  No, I mean, I think. There's a picture.

• 39:36Speaker 05

  As a kid, at a parade in the background, and she like framed it.

• 39:40Speaker 04

  You're not even like.

• 39:40Speaker 05

  I'm just sitting down watching like Johnny Mosley talk about when it's cold.

• 39:44Bobby Lee?

  Just, you're not on it based on your craft?

• 39:47Speaker 05

  Yet. No, I mean, well, I guess I could just ask them to write about me and they probably would. It's a really small town.

• 39:52Speaker 03

  Well, wait, have you done Comics Unleashed or not yet?

• 39:54Speaker 05

  No, not yet.

• 39:55Speaker 03

  Hop on it and then get in the Ark. Come on, that's huge for the town. That's the move, actually. Yeah.

• 39:59Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 40:00Speaker 03

  Just do it for your mom.

• 40:01Speaker 05

  Yeah, my brother got in for football in high school and that was like the greatest day of our family's life.

• 40:05Speaker 04

  Legacy, like media like that, it's a big deal.

• 40:07Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 40:08Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, it's a big deal for them.

• 40:10Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 40:10Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. Would you do Comics Unleashed?

• 40:14Bobby Lee?

  Look at me right in the face, it's fine. And you can say yes or no, it's fine.

• 40:18Speaker 05

  Byron's a listener of the podcast.

• 40:19Bobby Lee?

  Is he?

• 40:21Speaker 04

  I'll remember what you answer when you ask me to hook you up with the fact.

• 40:25Speaker 05

  I don't, you know, I don't think I'd be a good fit for it.

• 40:29Bobby Lee?

  I think you would.

• 40:31Speaker 04

  I think it'd be great.

• 40:32Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 40:32Speaker 05

  No, I don't. And I'm standing firm in that.

• 40:35Bobby Lee?

  Why?

• 40:36Speaker 05

  Because I don't want to do it.

• 40:40Bobby Lee?

  Good. That's a good answer. That's the real answer. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 40:44Speaker 03

  He said it like he's been drafted to Vietnam, the way he said it.

• 40:48Speaker 00

  I don't want to do it.

• 40:49Speaker 04

  No, I can't. I'm gay.

• 40:51Speaker 03

  He has bone spurs.

• 40:52Bobby Lee?

  Oh, yeah, bone spurs. Okay, okay.

• 40:53Speaker 04

  I'm flat footed.

• 40:54Bobby Lee?

  Okay.

• 40:55Speaker 04

  I'm Muslim. I can't do comics.

• 40:56Bobby Lee?

  Okay, okay. So, yeah. Just then move to Canada then.

• 40:59Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 41:00Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 41:00Speaker 04

  I should.

• 41:01Bobby Lee?

  That's your only option. They're gonna make you do it.

• 41:02Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 41:03Bobby Lee?

  I feel like they make you do it.

• 41:06Speaker 04

  The Canada makes you do it. It's a compromise.

• 41:08Bobby Lee?

  No, I think America makes you do it.

• 41:10Speaker 04

  Comics.

• 41:10Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 41:11Speaker 03

  It's like mandatory military service.

• 41:13Bobby Lee?

  I think so.

• 41:13Speaker 03

  You have to do two years of comics.

• 41:14Bobby Lee?

  As a comic, I think they make you do it, yeah. Yeah, I think that. I think I'm in the same. I'm 54.

• 41:19Speaker 03

  Oh, you're out of it.

• 41:20Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can make up something.

• 41:22Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 41:22Bobby Lee?

  Kidney stones, you know, polyps, everything, you know. Yeah, yeah.

• 41:26Speaker 04

  It was an honor to serve Paramount.

• 41:27Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 41:28Speaker 03

  You have hemorrhoids. You can't sit in the seat.

• 41:29Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, would you do it?

• 41:30Speaker 03

  I've been asked to do it. I'm with you. I...

• 41:33Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 41:34Speaker 03

  It's just not my speed.

• 41:34Speaker 04

  I guess I'm on a podcast with a bunch of people with so much integrity.

• 41:39Bobby Lee?

  No integrity in this goddamn business.

• 41:41Speaker 03

  No, not at all. It's not integrity. It's just knowing, like, it's knowing yourself. Like, how you operate. Like, I know I'm not good in that environment. Like, Kill Tony even. It's a huge opportunity. Tony's asked me to do it in the past, but I'm like, I'm not good on a panel like that. I just know my comedy.

• 41:55Bobby Lee?

  It's so funny that you say that because I say no to Kill Tony. He thinks it's an offense to him.

• 42:01Speaker 03

  No, I'm so flattered and it's such an amazing show, gives great opportunities, people are so good on it, but I just know that's not... I'm not... I don't excel at that. So, I'd rather not do it than do something so big and be bad at it.

• 42:12Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, like, when I do it, if you've never noticed, there are times I leave.

• 42:15Speaker 04

  Yeah, you have it on.

• 42:17Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I have to go to the bathroom and I'll wait 30 minutes.

• 42:20Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 42:20Bobby Lee?

  And then come back.

• 42:21Speaker 04

  Every time I've seen you do it, Bobby, you look so uncomfortable.

• 42:23Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, because I don't... I'm not good at that kind of...

• 42:26Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 42:26Bobby Lee?

  Of comedy. Of like, making... I'm not a roaster.

• 42:30Speaker 03

  Same, like ball breaker.

• 42:32Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I'm not a ball breaker roaster. I do it with... I know how to roast. I'm probably one of the best at it when it comes to personal things.

• 42:38Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 42:39Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean? If I know you and I know that you're not gonna take offense to it and, you know, Andrew knows... But there are things about Andrew and I, personally, that we know that is a no-go. Right? And so, for me to do it in front of a stranger, you know, I'd have to do research and know what really hurts and that... I really, that's my thing.

• 43:02Speaker 00

  So, Kevin Hart asked you guys and paid you a lot of money to do his Netflix.

• 43:04Speaker 03

  That's a different thing also as well because you have your jokes. That's a roast. You, I, I guess you could rise to the occasion to do a roast. I still don't love it. But Kill Tony is, is like, literally, it's like jazz. It's, somebody says something, you barb, and then, it's almost like jump rope, or, you know, when they're doing double dutch. Like, how do you get into, like, the timing of it?

• 43:23Bobby Lee?

  They're writing a teleprompter on that last roast.

• 43:26Speaker 03

  Ah, yeah.

• 43:26Bobby Lee?

  Do you notice?

• 43:27Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 43:27Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, they're literally, all their jokes are written out, you know what I mean, on a teleprompter. They know exactly what they're gonna say. And, um, with Kill Tony, it's like, there's no, it's like podcasting, but what's safe about podcasting is that we edit.

• 43:40Speaker 03

  Mm-hmm.

• 43:41Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean?

• 43:41Speaker 03

  And there's some history, and it's kind of small, it's controlled.

• 43:44Bobby Lee?

  Yes.

• 43:44Speaker 03

  Uh, Kill Tony's chaos. There's somebody doing a minute.

• 43:47Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 43:47Speaker 03

  They got a weird thing, somebody's talking in the crowd, there's a panel here, there's a chick with huge tits coming out giving you drinks.

• 43:53Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 43:53Speaker 03

  It's just like-

• 43:54Speaker 04

  It's overstimulating.

• 43:55Speaker 03

  It's very, yeah.

• 43:56Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, it's, yeah, it's not my thing, but-

• 43:57Speaker 03

  But some people are amazing at it, and it's great to watch, and it's-

• 44:00Bobby Lee?

  It's a great show, and, um, I'm not dogging it at all, and, but he always took it personally.

• 44:05Speaker 03

  Hmm.

• 44:06Bobby Lee?

  Like, I'd be in town, and I won't even call him, I'm in Austin.

• 44:08Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 44:09Bobby Lee?

  Because, hey, man, you're in town, you have to do it. And I'm like, I'm not doing it. And he always convinces me to do it.

• 44:16Speaker 03

  Ah.

• 44:18Speaker 04

  It makes-

• 44:18Bobby Lee?

  Remember?

• 44:19Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 44:19Bobby Lee?

  The last time?

• 44:20Speaker 03

  You called him to say, "You're not doing it."

• 44:21Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I called him to say, "I will not do it," and somehow I get, I'm doing it.

• 44:25Speaker 04

  It makes me laugh so much to see you on that show. It is so funny.

• 44:28Bobby Lee?

  Why?

• 44:29Speaker 04

  You just look so, I know you now, and I know when you're really uncomfortable.

• 44:32Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 44:33Speaker 04

  And you look so uncomfortable every single Kill Tony episode.

• 44:35Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. Um, it's, I get laughs.

• 44:36Speaker 04

  Of course you do.

• 44:37Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I get laughs.

• 44:38Speaker 04

  But I could tell you don't want to rib, you don't want to hurt anybody's feelings, you're just trying to be you, you know?

• 44:43Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. Yeah, I, I, yeah. I mean, I, I, if Netflix asked me to do a roast, I'd be able to come up with great jokes, and I would do it. Here's the thing, is that you get open to-

• 44:53Speaker 03

  Hmm, people coming at you.

• 44:54Bobby Lee?

  Yes.

• 44:55Speaker 03

  You start crying, you're like, sitting on the couch.

• 44:58Speaker 03

  And you're like, you're pretending like you're okay.

• 44:59Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 45:01Speaker 03

  Tears coming down your eyes.

• 45:02Bobby Lee?

  And I watch, yeah, and I watch-

• 45:06Speaker 03

  It cuts back to Bobby, he's hanging, like, whoa, he's found a rope. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's in a suit, just hanging. It just, it just.

• 45:13Speaker 04

  Tombstone, only a tombstone.

• 45:16Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I think that's the part, you know, that I don't really like, you know? My personalized my personal life.

• 45:23Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 45:24Bobby Lee?

  You know, and, um, listen, there was a lot of resentment in that roast.

• 45:29Speaker 03

  Oh, yeah. Oh, you could feel that.

• 45:31Bobby Lee?

  There's a lot of hatred, resentment, these people do not talk to each other. They have a, just, I mean, I have a couple of comics in my life that I don't like, you know, because of wrongdoing, that was slighted.

• 45:45Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 45:46Bobby Lee?

  And I, I can't imagine being on stage because I will go off. You know what I mean?

• 45:51Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 45:52Bobby Lee?

  And that's what that is, that's what that was.

• 45:54Speaker 03

  It doesn't seem fun like it used to be. No.

• 45:56Speaker 04

  No, it used to be, now it's way too personal.

• 45:58Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 45:58Speaker 04

  You know, it's like in 1993, he filed for bankruptcy, you're like, whoa, what, they're getting really specific here.

• 46:05Speaker 03

  Like, you lost your kids. Yeah.

• 46:07Speaker 04

  Like, what the hell?

• 46:08Speaker 03

  Why'd your husband kill himself?

• 46:10Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, that was one of them, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 46:12Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah.

• 46:12Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, it, that, that part is like, uh, no, you, you're not allowed to talk about that.

• 46:18Speaker 04

  Question Bobby, who would be the guy that you would like to see least on the panel? You go, oh, no, if I see this guy, this would be a problem.

• 46:24Bobby Lee?

  Well, this person called me a couple of years ago and goes, listen, I know you don't like me. I don't really like you, but please stop talking about me. On your podcast because it's ruining my life.

• 46:37Speaker 03

  Whoa.

• 46:38Bobby Lee?

  And he goes, just, can we just make a deal? And I go, okay.

• 46:44Speaker 03

  And so we're not going to name the person?

• 46:45Bobby Lee?

  I can't.

• 46:46Speaker 03

  Did you respect that, though?

• 46:47Bobby Lee?

  There's two people like that, there's a couple of people like that, where they're like, yeah, I'm getting harassed at work. You know, and I'm like, I'm just saying that I don't like you, I, I, I, I think that I'm even in the wrong in this.

• 46:59Speaker 03

  I'm, I'm just saying that I don't like you on a massive podcast. Every, every week. Yeah.

• 47:03Speaker 04

  And the guys at work.

• 47:04Speaker 03

  And it gets clipped up, and there's clippers out there as well, and the clip is circulating on Facebook, TikTok, and Yeah. I don't see what the big deal is.

• 47:10Speaker 04

  I'm boosting the post.

• 47:11Speaker 03

  I'm just far, far more popular. I'm putting $30 a day into these clips.

• 47:16Speaker 03

  It's not a big deal. You make your own podcast and then talk about me.

• 47:20Bobby Lee?

  Do you have, do you have anybody?

• 47:23Speaker 03

  Enemies, or what do you mean?

• 47:24Bobby Lee?

  People that you're like, uh, I'm gonna walk the other way if I see them at the comedy store.

• 47:29Speaker 04

  This is interesting, cause he to me is such a guy that I feel like everybody loves.

• 47:33Bobby Lee?

  That's why I don't trust him.

• 47:35Speaker 03

  No, there's.

• 47:35Bobby Lee?

  No, that's why I don't trust this guy, because he, there's, he has like boundaries.

• 47:41Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 47:43Speaker 03

  The healthiest I have.

• 47:44Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 47:45Speaker 03

  He has boundaries.

• 47:46Bobby Lee?

  No, no, no, no, no.

• 47:47Speaker 04

  I'm with this.

• 47:48Bobby Lee?

  I've never heard anything bad about, um, yeah, yeah, nothing.

• 47:52Speaker 04

  Just a hard worker, he's so funny.

• 47:53Bobby Lee?

  There's not a dent on your car, not even a scratch. I watch, I look, and, um, they're just, you're so like, you won't reveal specific things about your life.

• 48:03Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 48:04Bobby Lee?

  You don't mesh that, you rarely talk about your ethnicity, or.

• 48:08Speaker 03

  No, I do, I do.

• 48:09Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, but not, yeah, but this is, but this is a new thing.

• 48:12Speaker 03

  But it's not my whole act, you know? Um, yeah, I guess I'll be a little more.

• 48:16Bobby Lee?

  You and I have had long conversations about, of like, you know, maybe if you, you talked about, you know.

• 48:22Speaker 03

  Yeah, opening up a little.

• 48:22Bobby Lee?

  Opening up a little bit more, and you won't do it, and that's fine, you're protecting your personal life.

• 48:26Speaker 03

  No, yeah.

• 48:27Bobby Lee?

  But.

• 48:28Speaker 03

  I'm better about it now, like, yeah.

• 48:30Bobby Lee?

  But you are very private, you're so nice, I don't, I can't think of anyone that's ever said anything bad about you.

• 48:37Speaker 03

  I have one enemy.

• 48:38Bobby Lee?

  Whoa. You don't have to say it out loud, but you do have one.

• 48:41Speaker 03

  I do, you know who it is.

• 48:43Bobby Lee?

  Can you whisper it in my ear? We'll cut it out, I promise.

• 48:45Speaker 04

  It'll be, yeah, I got it, I got it, wait, you don't got to say it.

• 48:48Speaker 03

  I'll give you a clue.

• 48:49Speaker 04

  Tell Bob.

• 48:49Speaker 03

  Not a, not a comedian.

• 48:51Speaker 04

  Oh, okay.

• 48:51Bobby Lee?

  Well, they're finally here!

• 48:52Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 48:53Speaker 04

  We'll bleep it out.

• 48:54Bobby Lee?

  How do I know? I won't know them.

• 48:56Speaker 03

  You'll know them. Cause you tried to settle it, you tried, you tried to squash the beef.

• 49:00Speaker 04

  It's gotta be a famous person. Who could, who could he? It's Dax Shepard, dude.

• 49:06Speaker 04

  It's gotta be somebody of note, maybe it's a, maybe like a medical guy, a doctor or something?

• 49:12Bobby Lee?

  Uh, I bet it's like, uh, industry.

• 49:14Speaker 04

  It's gotta be industry. It has to be industry. Industry? Agent or something.

• 49:17Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, that's all we can say.

• 49:18Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 49:18Bobby Lee?

  I know this person.

• 49:19Speaker 04

  Byron, is it Byron Allen?

• 49:20Bobby Lee?

  No, no.

• 49:22Speaker 03

  He tried to broker peace at one point.

• 49:24Bobby Lee?

  I tried to broker the peace.

• 49:25Speaker 05

  Wow.

• 49:26Speaker 04

  You know you're in a tough spot when you're getting Bobby to broker the peace.

• 49:29Speaker 03

  Where he's the voice of reason?

• 49:30Speaker 04

  Where Bobby's the peaceful one.

• 49:32Bobby Lee?

  I'm sorry, I'm very highly offended by that.

• 49:34Speaker 04

  I apologize, sir.

• 49:36Bobby Lee?

  In fact, I am Pakistan.

• 49:38Speaker 04

  You are very much Pakistan.

• 49:39Bobby Lee?

  I've many of times have broken pieces and negotiated on people's behalf.

• 49:45Speaker 04

  I believe that.

• 49:45Bobby Lee?

  And I find that, what you just said, very highly offensive.

• 49:48Speaker 04

  I apologize.

• 49:50Bobby Lee?

  There's another thing that you did, if you want to fucking play games.

• 49:52Speaker 04

  I don't know. I'd like to not play games.

• 49:54Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

• 49:56Speaker 04

  Just keep it straight.

• 49:56Bobby Lee?

  Let me ask you something, Zach and Fahim.

• 49:58Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 49:59Bobby Lee?

  Not Zach and Fahim. Yeah, that's right, Zach and Fahim.

• 50:03Speaker 04

  That's how hilarious this episode is, everybody kinda looks like a giant.

• 50:06Bobby Lee?

  I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

• 50:09Bobby Lee?

  Let me ask you, Fahim and Zach.

• 50:11Speaker 04

  Go ahead, Jimmy O. Yang.

• 50:16Speaker 04

  Sorry, I know you're gonna hurt me, so I wanted to lash out.

• 50:19Speaker 03

  He has to get out of the way.

• 50:19Speaker 04

  Go ahead, sorry, go ahead Bobby, I apologize.

• 50:21Bobby Lee?

  I don't know if this is working anymore.

• 50:24Bobby Lee?

  I really don't know if this is working anymore, right? But remember Fahim used to open for me?

• 50:30Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 50:31Bobby Lee?

  Right?

• 50:32Speaker 03

  You were the first guy to take me out, I argue a lot.

• 50:34Bobby Lee?

  I don't, you don't owe me anything.

• 50:36Speaker 03

  Well, I appreciate it.

• 50:37Bobby Lee?

  Your success is the proof, in the pudding. But I just remember just having a really good time with you. I've never thought anything bad about you, never said anything bad about anybody. You made our travels smooth, as if you weren't even there, and you're very grateful. And at times you were unfollowable. That's how, I remember specifically San Antonio LOL. You know, I remember turning to a local comic next to him, that was standing next to me and going, "I seriously don't know if I can follow this. He's killing, okay? And so, I want to say, thank you for being a great opener. Thank you for causing me peace in my life. And I will be forever in gratitude."

• 51:20Speaker 03

  The feeling is mutual Bobby.

• 51:21Bobby Lee?

  Thank you.

• 51:22Speaker 04

  Why did you include me on this?

• 51:27Bobby Lee?

  What do you mean?

• 51:28Speaker 05

  You said, "I want to tell you something for He-Man, Zack."

• 51:31Speaker 03

  Well, he just wants you to hear this.

• 51:32Speaker 05

  I got it.

• 51:33Bobby Lee?

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

• 51:35Speaker 03

  It doesn't pertain?

• 51:36Bobby Lee?

  That's not what this is. This is set up to him.

• 51:38Speaker 05

  Okay, okay.

• 51:39Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, of what he did.

• 51:40Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 51:41Bobby Lee?

  Okay? And he just called me Jimmy O. Yang.

• 51:43Speaker 05

  He did.

• 51:44Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 51:45Speaker 04

  I'm sorry, I was lashing out, I felt attacked, go ahead, I'm ready.

• 51:48Bobby Lee?

  Okay, you don't even know what I'm talking about right now.

• 51:50Speaker 04

  I know it will hurt, that's what I know.

• 51:54Speaker 04

  I know it will hurt.

• 51:54Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. We were somewhere, someplace, you know what I mean? And we were outside, and there was a group of fans that came up to me, "Bobby Lee," you know what I mean? "Riding by," and he made fun of my fanbase.

• 52:08Speaker 05

  It's not...

• 52:09Speaker 03

  To their face, or when they...

• 52:10Bobby Lee?

  No, often, like, yeah, these, it's a da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da, you know what I mean? I can't say what he said. And he made fun of my fanbase, and I looked right in his eyes, and I said, "If you ever do that again, you're fired."

• 52:23Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 52:24Speaker 03

  Wow.

• 52:24Bobby Lee?

  These are the people that love me, yeah, I'm sorry, my fanbases are weird.

• 52:29Speaker 03

  Yeah, the people you were playing to?

• 52:30Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sometimes they're missing an eye, sometimes they're disheveled, you know what I mean?

• 52:34Speaker 03

  And they need a laugh in their life.

• 52:36Bobby Lee?

  Their hairs are in the wrong places, you know what I mean? But my point is this, they still are my fans, and they relate to me, and I relate to them, and I love them.

• 52:44Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 52:44Bobby Lee?

• 53:21Bobby Lee?

  You would never disrespect me by doing that.

• 53:24Speaker 03

  I would just be so happy there were people there.

• 53:25Bobby Lee?

  Exactly.

• 53:25Speaker 03

  That I could play a full house.

• 53:26Bobby Lee?

  And Zack, where am I, is he at fault or am I? That's why I wanted to ask you.

• 53:30Speaker 05

  For...

• 53:31Speaker 03

  Defending your fans?

• 53:32Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, Ramsey, making fun of my fans when he's my opener.

• 53:38Bobby Lee?

  Would you ever do, would you ever do that?

• 53:40Speaker 05

  Would I ever make fun of your fans?

• 53:41Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, if I have you open for me.

• 53:43Speaker 05

  If, if I open for you, no.

• 53:45Speaker 04

  Let me just say this, he's trying to divide and conquer us right now, guys. I'm just letting you know.

• 53:48Speaker 03

  I'm just thinking about you guys going the road after this, Ramsey coming out, and everyone going, "Boo." They have eye patches and they're like.

• 53:58Speaker 03

  One guy has a hook.

• 54:00Speaker 04

  They're wearing medical gowns. Straight jacket.

• 54:05Speaker 03

  Yeah, like a muzzle.

• 54:07Speaker 04

  Bobby, I apologize.

• 54:09Bobby Lee?

  This is gonna hurt you from now on a little bit, I think.

• 54:11Speaker 04

  Bobby, if I can say just.

• 54:13Speaker 03

  Talk to the fans. I would address the fans.

• 54:16Bobby Lee?

  On his behalf, right?

• 54:18Speaker 04

  I have eight foot of them too.

• 54:19Speaker 03

  What?

• 54:20Speaker 04

  You can make fun of them too?

• 54:21Bobby Lee?

  No, I'm not gonna make fun of them too. I love them.

• 54:23Speaker 04

  Me too.

• 54:23Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, it was, they were.

• 54:27Bobby Lee?

  They were the sillier, the sillier.

• 54:29Speaker 00

  You have a spectrum.

• 54:30Bobby Lee?

  I have a spectrum of people.

• 54:31Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 54:32Bobby Lee?

  And these people were a specific type of spectrum.

• 54:35Speaker 04

  Their car had like no registration on it.

• 54:37Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, that kind of thing.

• 54:37Speaker 04

  Broken window kind of thing.

• 54:39Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 54:40Speaker 04

  But, but I love Bobby's fans and Bobby, I do apologize about that. That was crossing a line and I, I do mean that. I'm sorry.

• 54:47Speaker 03

  It's real.

• 54:47Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, and I already forgave you then.

• 54:49Speaker 04

  Thank you.

• 54:50Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 54:50Speaker 03

  I remember just, I wanna trade Bobby notes opening. I'm trying to remember from when I opened to see if he does the same stuff with you. I didn't know about your rule. You would always pay when we went out, you know? And that was very cool. You're like, get whatever you want. Oh, this is amazing. You feel like.

• 55:03Speaker 04

  The greatest.

• 55:03Speaker 03

  In Willy Wonka's factory.

• 55:04Bobby Lee?

  I'm a great meal star.

• 55:05Speaker 03

  Mozzarella steak. So amazing meals, steaks, whatever. There's no limit. Appetizers, salads. And then I noticed this about you too. You, you order everything and then you take one bite of everything like Homer Simpson. And then you just like.

• 55:15Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 55:16Speaker 03

  Leave it. You have whatever you want. But I remember.

• 55:18Bobby Lee?

  I learned that from David Spade.

• 55:20Speaker 03

  I tried to box it and you go, no, no, no, no, no. I go, what? He goes, no, no, no. You can't, you can't box food. I go, what? He's like, anything, you can have anything here in this moment, but you can't box it and take it back. I didn't know about that rule until touring with Bobby. I'm like, well, he's paying for it. I guess it makes sense. A little odd, like no one's ever done that.

• 55:38Bobby Lee?

  Not odd.

• 55:38Speaker 03

  But I kind of get it in principle. Then you're not trying to bilk Bobby and you only order what you can eat at the table. Like he's not here to pay for this meal and your next one.

• 55:46Speaker 04

  Right. Right.

• 55:47Speaker 03

  Does he do that?

• 55:48Speaker 04

  Time together.

• 55:48Speaker 03

  Same with you guys? Like, you can't box it?

• 55:51Speaker 04

  I don't know if I've ever even had a desire to box anything, but that's how big the meals are.

• 55:55Speaker 00

  We don't even order main sometimes. Sometimes he gets so many appetizers, so we just eat that.

• 55:58Speaker 04

  It's legendary.

• 55:59Speaker 00

  It's amazing.

• 56:00Bobby Lee?

  I don't know, Alex.

• 56:02Speaker 04

  Oh boy.

• 56:03Speaker 00

  I heard you call him the monster.

• 56:04Bobby Lee?

  We call him the monster because he sometimes go on the road. And we call him the monster at dinner. And I go, his is usually the most expensive thing. Yeah, yeah, lamb chunks, you know what I mean?

• 56:16Speaker 04

  Lamb chunks, I have chops.

• 56:17Speaker 03

  That's off menu. I see the chops, where are the chunks?

• 56:21Bobby Lee?

  A5, no, like A5, snow beef, oxtail. Something like that, right, where it's like $3,000.

• 56:28Speaker 00

  Comes in like a gold suitcase.

• 56:33Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. So it's like, he's that guy. So it's like, sometimes I look at monster and I go, go ahead, monster.

• 56:39Speaker 00

  You have been making an announcement lately. You're like, everyone, I see the A5 wagyu at the table, just don't order it.

• 56:45Speaker 04

  Yeah, he goes, no, he goes, you can order it.

• 56:47Speaker 00

  Order it, but.

• 56:48Speaker 04

  But I might have feelings about it. Which I love.

• 56:51Speaker 00

  I like that. I like that rule.

• 56:53Speaker 04

  I do too, it's fair.

• 56:54Speaker 03

  Okay, well, when I was coming up, there was no A5.

• 56:56Bobby Lee?

  There was, oh yeah, it was A4, dude, A4.

• 57:02Speaker 03

  Cows weren't doing that.

• 57:02Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, they weren't doing, they weren't doing that back then, yeah, yeah. They learned the A5, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, um, so the A5, um, the specific restaurant we went to, right? Is, is $100 every two ounces of meat.

• 57:19Speaker 00

  Insane.

• 57:20Speaker 03

  Whoa.

• 57:20Bobby Lee?

  All right, so two ounces of meat is the size of this jewel.

• 57:24Speaker 00

  $100?

• 57:26Bobby Lee?

  Okay, now, if the mons, it was specifically for the monster. Right, right? Because I don't even know if he can read.

• 57:35Bobby Lee?

  I mean, his favorite band is Limp Bizkit, so I don't know.

• 57:39Bobby Lee?

  I don't know if he can read, right? So in that specific restaurant, I was like, all right, so no one ordered that, it was for him, right? And so for, in order to get, to feed him with two ounces of, um, Japanese A5 wagyu, you know what I mean? Would have cost me thousands of dollars. Which is, I'm fine to do, but it's like, there's also a porterhouse.

• 58:02Speaker 03

  Right.

• 58:02Bobby Lee?

  That you can get.

• 58:03Speaker 03

  I just imagine you calling your accountant and be like, monster wants a.

• 58:08Speaker 03

  Can I, can I do it? Okay, I'll tell him to go 14. You can't do 32, my accountant.

• 58:14Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 58:15Speaker 00

  Yeah, I appreciate the dinners, though.

• 58:16Bobby Lee?

  They're good. Yeah, I know, and I, and, and you're welcome. You know? You're very much welcome. You're family to me. And so, um, but that's why I say it out loud. I go, just that, don't know in order because I'm, I'm getting every appetizer. And you can get any meal you want, except for that. And it's only for the monster. Okay, yeah. Yeah, and I, so, um, I didn't even know how I got into bringing that up, because you, you said something.

• 58:48Speaker 04

  I hurt you when I called you Jimmy O. Yang.

• 58:49Bobby Lee?

  No, it was before that, that started. What was the thing before that?

• 58:53Speaker 03

  Oh, yeah, how you don't let people take food. Oh, yeah, being generous on the. Like, you have to eat it there.

• 58:57Bobby Lee?

  Right, and then, um, do you have any beefs?

• 59:01Speaker 04

  With, with, uh, people, comedians?

• 59:03Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 59:04Speaker 04

  I, I certainly have beefs, but I don't know if anybody is, uh, like, significant enough to, to matter at this point. You know, like, I don't have any beefs with anybody, like, you know what's funny is I did an episode here with Trevor Wallace. I didn't have a beef with Trevor Wallace, but I was definitely rude to him in the early days of my comedy. And I remember sitting next to him and being like, I wonder if he knows, or if he remembers.

• 59:25Bobby Lee?

  You should have brought it up.

• 59:26Speaker 03

  Why, where do you think that comes from? Why?

• 59:28Speaker 04

  Open mic scarcity, you know, like, feeling like you gotta kinda edge out everybody above, you know what I mean? And now, you know.

• 59:37Speaker 03

  Like, someone's success means less for me.

• 59:39Speaker 04

  Yes, in the early days.

• 59:41Speaker 03

  I think the way Hollywood used to be, that was somewhat true, but now it's just an ocean of clips and.

• 59:47Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 59:48Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 59:48Bobby Lee?

  Anyone's game.

• 59:49Speaker 03

  Anyone's game.

• 59:50Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, anyone's game.

• 59:52Speaker 03

  But you gotta just put stuff out there and then hope society gravitates toward it, towards it, but that's it. There's no gatekeeper. It's like, you're the guy.

• 59:58Bobby Lee?

  We're in a juncture in show business and in the world where there's so many unknown factors that it's even difficult to plan what you're gonna do in three years.

• 1:00:08Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:00:09Bobby Lee?

  You know, like, um, I mean, I literally, that special I did was like, oh, this is the last time I might do this.

• 1:00:16Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:00:17Bobby Lee?

  I mean, something else might come around. I don't know what it might be, but, um, we are definitely, I think, uh, like plumbers, stand-up comedians, I have a longer, you know, I mean, maybe a lifespan.

• 1:00:29Speaker 03

  Well, you have a skilled trade that is dependent upon you. You don't really need, there's not a lot of moving parts with stand-up. It's guy talking, your fans show up. Do you put butts in seats? It's pretty lean business. But to act, you need the producer to sign off, the casting director, so many things.

• 1:00:44Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, but if an AI robot could tell really good jokes.

• 1:00:49Speaker 04

  They're getting close.

• 1:00:50Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, and perform live.

• 1:00:52Speaker 03

  But he's like, anybody from out of town that he falls, and then they put a blanket over him and they drag him off. Did you see the clip of the Michael Jackson robot?

• 1:00:59Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 1:00:59Speaker 03

  My god, I haven't laughed at anything like that in such a long time.

• 1:01:02Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:01:03Speaker 04

  That thing scared me.

• 1:01:04Speaker 03

  Well, it was so good.

• 1:01:05Speaker 04

  It was great.

• 1:01:06Speaker 03

  And then it's so funny that it could do all these complex movements, but stairs, like one step takes it out.

• 1:01:11Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:01:11Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:01:11Speaker 03

  And I love how it stumbled, but then it recovers, like it didn't happen. You know, like when the figure skater falls. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, no, no, go back further. Go, yeah, yeah, okay.

• 1:01:19Bobby Lee?

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:01:21Speaker 03

  Killing it.

• 1:01:21Speaker 04

  To me, this genuinely feels.

• 1:01:23Speaker 03

  This is, okay, that, and then, okay, okay, that didn't happen, that didn't happen. Back to the performance. Nobody saw that, nobody saw that. You're killing it, robot. You're killing it. Hit the moon, what, uh, uh. All right, let's try the steps again. Here, uh, and then he's done.

• 1:01:36Bobby Lee?

  I've literally seen.

• 1:01:37Speaker 03

  Gives up.

• 1:01:38Bobby Lee?

  I've seen Eric Griffin do that.

• 1:01:42Bobby Lee?

  I really have, I really have. Yeah.

• 1:01:44Speaker 03

  This is like vaudeville and it's hilarious. This guy with a t-shirt comes in, it's so sad.

• 1:01:49Speaker 04

  It sincerely feels like the beginning of a sci-fi movie, where that guy is like, they humiliated me, they made me dance for them.

• 1:01:55Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:01:55Speaker 04

  He, you know.

• 1:01:56Speaker 05

  He feels shame for the first time in his life.

• 1:01:58Speaker 04

  Yes, yes. And then he's gonna make us dance.

• 1:02:01Bobby Lee?

  But he's gonna get better.

• 1:02:03Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:02:04Speaker 03

  Yeah, he's gonna learn from this. He's like.

• 1:02:05Bobby Lee?

  He's gonna learn from, yeah, yeah. Like Long Beach.

• 1:02:09Speaker 04

  Uh, okay, we'll bring in Long Beach.

• 1:02:12Bobby Lee?

  So, so, I know, I know we were bringing up Long Beach, too much bringing up Long Beach.

• 1:02:16Speaker 04

  Well, give me the Cliff Notes, I'm sorry, it's painful.

• 1:02:18Bobby Lee?

  Long Beach, right, me and Andrew are playing Long Beach.

• 1:02:21Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:02:21Bobby Lee?

  Right, and Andrew still talks about this.

• 1:02:24Speaker 04

  This is really unfortunate.

• 1:02:25Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I mean.

• 1:02:25Speaker 04

  This is very.

• 1:02:26Bobby Lee?

  Like, like, why'd he do that, you know what I mean?

• 1:02:28Speaker 04

  I was so nervous.

• 1:02:29Bobby Lee?

  Is that, what's the matter?

• 1:02:30Speaker 05

  I don't know what happened.

• 1:02:31Bobby Lee?

  I'm gonna tell you.

• 1:02:31Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 1:02:32Bobby Lee?

  But your eyes, you know what I mean, are fixated on me.

• 1:02:35Speaker 05

  My mom was a servant, man, I just have.

• 1:02:38Bobby Lee?

  Okay, okay.

• 1:02:40Speaker 04

  That is the Middle Eastern, I think, conundrum.

• 1:02:43Bobby Lee?

  Conundrum.

• 1:02:43Speaker 04

  There's a sadness.

• 1:02:45Bobby Lee?

  Okay, so, um.

• 1:02:47Speaker 04

  Can I say this, by the way, Bobby, really quickly? The reason why he doesn't know this story, and Zach's a good friend of mine, is I've never told it to him. Because it was, it's such a deep shame.

• 1:02:54Bobby Lee?

  Well, if you don't want me to bring it up, if it's too shameful.

• 1:02:56Speaker 04

  No, bring it up, bring it up.

• 1:02:57Bobby Lee?

  It was pure shame.

• 1:02:58Speaker 04

  Yeah, bring it up.

• 1:02:58Bobby Lee?

  Okay.

• 1:02:59Speaker 04

  Let him hear it.

• 1:03:00Bobby Lee?

  So I gave you and, um.

• 1:03:02Speaker 04

  Angie.

• 1:03:03Bobby Lee?

  Angie Stroud, an opportunity to open up for us in this big theater in Long Beach.

• 1:03:08Speaker 04

  Hometown, my hometown, by the way.

• 1:03:10Bobby Lee?

  How many seats was it?

• 1:03:11Speaker 04

  Twenty, uh, twenty-five hundred?

• 1:03:12Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, something like that, big, big, big, big, big place, you know? And I go, you're opening.

• 1:03:17Speaker 04

  It was a great honor.

• 1:03:18Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, and you know how you can tell when somebody takes the mic out of the stand? That it might not go well?

• 1:03:26Speaker 04

  Just immediately from that?

• 1:03:27Bobby Lee?

  You know, it's, it's, it's more of a.

• 1:03:32Speaker 04

  Fidgety.

• 1:03:33Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, you've seen that?

• 1:03:34Speaker 04

  And then can you hear it too?

• 1:03:35Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, you're gonna hear it.

• 1:03:36Speaker 04

  Oh, no.

• 1:03:38Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, you know what I mean? Hey, you know what I mean?

• 1:03:42Speaker 04

  Like, even, even the hey was bad?

• 1:03:44Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:03:45Speaker 04

  Hey.

• 1:03:45Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:03:46Speaker 04

  I remember.

• 1:03:47Bobby Lee?

  It's like vocalized, there's twenty-five hundred people. Hey. Yeah, so, um, Andrew is watching Ramsey like this.

• 1:03:57Speaker 04

  Oh, boy, that's a scary thing to hear.

• 1:03:59Bobby Lee?

  Watching, right, and I'm pacing, because I'm the one that got you on it.

• 1:04:02Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:04:03Bobby Lee?

  And I thought you were doing pretty good.

• 1:04:04Speaker 04

  I did fine.

• 1:04:04Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, I did really good. But the ending. Was shame.

• 1:04:10Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 1:04:11Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, tell us what happened at the end.

• 1:04:12Speaker 04

  So what happened at the end was, first of all, can I say this? It was a very, it was my first time in a theater. Twenty-five hundred seat, you know, I'd never performed. By the way, Bobby, I had never opened for you at that point. So that was the first time you were watching me wa- like, there was a lot of nerves in me, right? And then on top of that, they also have the Bad Friends set in the background. So I'm in front of the curtain. Like, I'm performing at the edge of this. It's a very foreign.

• 1:04:36Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:04:37Speaker 04

  Sort of thing.

• 1:04:37Speaker 03

  It's almost like a plank.

• 1:04:38Speaker 04

  It feels like a plank.

• 1:04:39Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:04:39Speaker 04

  So I'm up there.

• 1:04:40Bobby Lee?

  Explain that. Like a pirate, pirate plank?

• 1:04:42Speaker 03

  Yeah, just like a small area.

• 1:04:44Bobby Lee?

  A lot of pirates.

• 1:04:45Speaker 04

  Yep, and I felt like, you know, the sword of Andrew Santino poking me in the back. Get out there, you know?

• 1:04:50Bobby Lee?

  Andrew, note that.

• 1:04:51Speaker 04

  Well, you know, I just mean, he's a scared.

• 1:04:53Speaker 03

  Figuratively.

• 1:04:54Speaker 04

  I was more scared of Andrew at the time than I was of Bobby, I think. Because Bobby was more friendly to me and Andrew was a guy who was like completely like didn't, you know? So, set's going fine. I go to close, you know, do my last joke. And right before I do the final punchline, the, the cable comes out of the microphone.

• 1:05:11Speaker 03

  Did you step on it or what? How did it come undone?

• 1:05:14Speaker 04

  I don't even know exactly how it happened.

• 1:05:15Bobby Lee?

  Is it a three-prong?

• 1:05:18Speaker 04

  It's a three-prong.

• 1:05:19Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. Oh, so you gotta find it. You know the three-prong? You gotta find the whole thing. Yeah, yeah, so, oh, this is every comic's nightmare.

• 1:05:26Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:05:27Bobby Lee?

  Attachment, right?

• 1:05:28Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:05:28Bobby Lee?

  And then to get it in, there's a three-prong thing where you have to line it up.

• 1:05:33Speaker 03

  It's like Interstellar.

• 1:05:34Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:05:34Bobby Lee?

  It's Interstellar.

• 1:05:36Speaker 03

  So it's a puzzle now.

• 1:05:37Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:05:37Speaker 03

  You already have no audio.

• 1:05:39Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:05:39Speaker 03

  It feels like an eternity.

• 1:05:40Bobby Lee?

  Apollo 13, remember when Kevin Bacon's character had to perfectly, you know, get it in that little thing?

• 1:05:45Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:05:46Bobby Lee?

  The latch on.

• 1:05:46Speaker 03

  Did you do a reenactment and play the Interstellar music while Ramsey's trying to?

• 1:05:51Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, and the connection took too long.

• 1:05:55Speaker 04

  It was just a little bit, you could hear it.

• 1:05:57Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, you could hear the connection, you could hear him, it not fitting the right way, you know what I mean? And in my mind, I was just, look at the dots!

• 1:06:04Speaker 04

  You're yelling.

• 1:06:05Bobby Lee?

  My mind!

• 1:06:06Speaker 03

  The dots!

• 1:06:07Bobby Lee?

  Line it up!

• 1:06:07Speaker 03

  Look at the dots!

• 1:06:09Bobby Lee?

  You're losing the crowd!

• 1:06:10Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:06:12Bobby Lee?

  So that happens, and then what happens?

• 1:06:15Speaker 04

  Uh, well, I just.

• 1:06:16Bobby Lee?

  You go and do another joke?

• 1:06:17Speaker 04

  No, I just finish, I just do the punchline as opposed to like addressing it or like.

• 1:06:21Bobby Lee?

  Ah, so he had a punch, so he did a punchline. So let's, let's take an old joke.

• 1:06:28Speaker 04

  Uh huh.

• 1:06:28Bobby Lee?

  All right. So you know, you know, a grasshopper is a drink at a bar.

• 1:06:33Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:06:33Bobby Lee?

  Right? Grasshopper walks in a bar. Bartender says, um, hey, we have a drink named after you. And the grasshopper says, you have a drink named Steve?

• 1:06:42Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:06:42Bobby Lee?

  Okay, that's the joke.

• 1:06:43Speaker 04

  Classic.

• 1:06:44Bobby Lee?

  All right. So this is how this joke, how Ramsey did it.

• 1:06:46Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:06:49Bobby Lee?

  Let me grab one of these.

• 1:06:50Speaker 04

  This is, by just so everybody knows, one of the most traumatic experiences.

• 1:06:54Bobby Lee?

  All right. Hey, grasshopper walks into a bar. Bartender says, hey, we have a drink named after you. And the grasshopper says, you have a drink named?

• 1:07:08Bobby Lee?

  Steve?

• 1:07:10Speaker 05

  It's almost brilliant how you do it. It's like Andy Kaufman.

• 1:07:15Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:07:16Speaker 03

  That's so much time passed where they didn't even remember the setup.

• 1:07:19Speaker 04

  They don't remember.

• 1:07:21Speaker 04

  They're wondering if I'm the janitor. They don't even know.

• 1:07:24Speaker 03

  They're like, is Steve the next comic?

• 1:07:25Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:07:26Speaker 05

  The sound guy?

• 1:07:27Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're expecting Steve to come out to do the set. Yeah, yeah. So, um.

• 1:07:31Speaker 04

  I was broken.

• 1:07:32Bobby Lee?

  Here's what you do though, in that situation, right? Is you go, fuck that. I have to close on a laugh.

• 1:07:39Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:07:40Speaker 03

  You go do a different joke.

• 1:07:41Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:07:43Speaker 04

  May I just say one thing?

• 1:07:44Bobby Lee?

  I respect survival.

• 1:07:46Speaker 04

  Ah, yes, yes.

• 1:07:47Bobby Lee?

  Over anything else.

• 1:07:48Speaker 04

  May I say one thing? Just one thing?

• 1:07:50Bobby Lee?

  You can say whatever you want. You're a human being.

• 1:07:51Speaker 04

  Right before I went out, Bobby goes, the time is 10 minutes. Do not go one second over. He gives me a little bit of that conversation. If you go one second over, we get in trouble. We rent this theater boat. Like, it was a big conversation.

• 1:08:03Speaker 03

  That's compounded fear then.

• 1:08:05Speaker 04

  Yeah. Now the fear is compounded.

• 1:08:06Bobby Lee?

  Compounded fear, but what it teaches you is he's not, he doesn't have comics' instinct.

• 1:08:11Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 1:08:11Bobby Lee?

  So survival.

• 1:08:12Speaker 03

  But, but it's almost, it's almost, but it's almost like a suicide bomber of comedy where he's willing to take, he's willing to die to cut time for your guys' show.

• 1:08:21Bobby Lee?

  Hmm.

• 1:08:22Speaker 04

  I'm Middle Eastern.

• 1:08:22Speaker 03

  He's a martyr.

• 1:08:23Bobby Lee?

  Hmm.

• 1:08:23Speaker 04

  To my core, Bobby, when a dictator tells me to do something. And in this situation, you are our fearless leader. I list.

• 1:08:29Bobby Lee?

  This is what I would have done. I just, I'll just tell you what I would have done.

• 1:08:32Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 1:08:32Bobby Lee?

  All right. First of all, it would have gone quicker.

• 1:08:36Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 1:08:37Bobby Lee?

  All right. I've practiced it.

• 1:08:39Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 1:08:39Bobby Lee?

  I've gone to the Comedy Store during the day, right?

• 1:08:43Speaker 04

  Like this is.

• 1:08:44Bobby Lee?

  I'm Asian.

• 1:08:45Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:08:45Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:08:46Speaker 04

  Blindfold.

• 1:08:48Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I mean, I've practiced.

• 1:08:49Speaker 03

  Yeah, he's blind.

• 1:08:49Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. All right.

• 1:08:51Speaker 03

  That's your correct.

• 1:08:52Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, so, you know what I mean? I've also practiced lines that I have when that particular thing happened.

• 1:08:57Speaker 03

  Mmm.

• 1:08:58Bobby Lee?

  Okay?

• 1:09:00Bobby Lee?

  You want to hear it?

• 1:09:00Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:09:01Bobby Lee?

  One of my lines, right?

• 1:09:02Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:09:02Bobby Lee?

  So if I, you know, I'll do it, I go, "Don't worry, guys, my people made this shit."

• 1:09:07Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:09:07Bobby Lee?

  That always gets a laugh. You know what I mean? You have to have three or four of those in there, you know what I mean? In order to, you know what I mean?

• 1:09:14Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:09:14Bobby Lee?

  Survive those situations. And I have jokes about anything that could go wrong in the room.

• 1:09:20Speaker 03

  Give us some.

• 1:09:20Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. No, I don't want.

• 1:09:21Speaker 03

  Or you don't want to burn it?

• 1:09:22Bobby Lee?

  I don't want to burn, I want to, I don't want to burn, now I can't even do that one.

• 1:09:24Speaker 03

  That'd be so funny, we just like.

• 1:09:26Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:09:26Speaker 03

  Like, X-Men training room, throw some scenarios. Like, "All right, lady, lady heckles, a fat guy gets up."

• 1:09:34Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:09:34Speaker 03

  "A skinny guy."

• 1:09:36Speaker 04

  Person with an eye patch.

• 1:09:37Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. So what I would have done is I would have looked, because I was, did you see him on the side of the stage?

• 1:09:43Speaker 04

  I remember nothing about that night.

• 1:09:45Bobby Lee?

  Okay, oh, yeah.

• 1:09:46Speaker 04

  Because I was so nervous. I was so, also mortified after that.

• 1:09:50Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:09:50Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, you, okay, so when he says Steve at the end of his, I don't know what the punchline was, but when he goes, "Steve," and it doesn't get a laugh, he puts the mic, and he go, and you can see his body just drop.

• 1:10:02Speaker 03

  Ah.

• 1:10:03Bobby Lee?

  Right?

• 1:10:04Speaker 03

  This hurts to hear.

• 1:10:04Bobby Lee?

  And go, "An ex-comic," you know, and he brings up Angie. And then maybe like 20 minutes later, I see him on a couch. And let's say I'm like, we're the corner of that garage, and I'm Aunt Ramsey, this is what Ramsey's doing.

• 1:10:20Speaker 04

  Yeah, I do remember that.

• 1:10:21Speaker 03

  A lot of body language, man.

• 1:10:22Speaker 04

  Yeah, I do remember feeling that way. I remember being like, "Ugh, that was tough."

• 1:10:25Bobby Lee?

  And I felt so bad.

• 1:10:28Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:10:28Bobby Lee?

  And I walked right up to him with like, just empathy, and I looked him right in his eyes, and I go.

• 1:10:34Speaker 03

  You went a second over.

• 1:10:38Bobby Lee?

  You know, Zach, I had a punchline there.

• 1:10:42Speaker 00

  You stole it, dude.

• 1:10:44Speaker 04

  Alright, plug the mic back in.

• 1:10:45Bobby Lee?

  No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I literally had a punchline there and you stole my joke. That's fine. But you know what? Now you're shaking.

• 1:10:56Bobby Lee?

  But I'd rather have someone use their comedy instincts than fail.

• 1:11:02Speaker 04

  Thank you.

• 1:11:05Speaker 04

  That's why I'm here. Lessons.

• 1:11:08Speaker 00

  It's a lesson right there.

• 1:11:08Bobby Lee?

  It's a lesson, you know what I mean? But that was a sad night, but you know, he's still opening for me. And he's killing it. I can put him in any position, in any scenario, and he hits the ball.

• 1:11:22Speaker 03

  That's cool, you're getting theater Bobby's. Cause I was getting club Bobby's. Those are great, they're sold out weekends and stuff. But theater Bobby's next level.

• 1:11:28Speaker 05

  Yeah, that's different.

• 1:11:29Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:11:30Speaker 05

  How do you even prepare for that? You just gotta fail, like you said. You gotta try and like fall in that room.

• 1:11:35Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:11:35Speaker 04

  Yeah, I think I was just really nervous at that day. Because again, it just felt like my hometown. It felt like I can't believe I'm here. And then it was like Bobby's never even seen me before. There was just a lot in my head.

• 1:11:45Bobby Lee?

  Oh yeah, I'd never seen him before.

• 1:11:47Speaker 04

  You'd never seen me before?

• 1:11:47Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:11:48Speaker 03

  I feel like we all have those things as well and you learn from it. You can dwell on it and let it eat you inside, but then you have to move on. You learn from it and you move on.

• 1:11:54Bobby Lee?

  I have a thousand of those.

• 1:11:55Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:11:56Bobby Lee?

  I literally have a thousand of those.

• 1:11:58Speaker 04

  Does anything come to your mind?

• 1:11:59Bobby Lee?

  A failure.

• 1:12:00Speaker 04

  Does anything come to your mind where you go, that day was one of these?

• 1:12:02Bobby Lee?

  Oh, oh yeah, I mean, I have failure. My whole life is failure after failure after failure and still not quitting.

• 1:12:10Speaker 03

  I like hearing that, you know, when I was a younger comic and you would talk about these failures to you.

• 1:12:15Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:12:15Speaker 03

  And then how well you're doing in my mind. I'm like, oh, you can still, you can have bad moments and still have a career and persevere.

• 1:12:21Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, it's, it's, it's, you just fail upwards.

• 1:12:27Speaker 00

  Good, yeah.

• 1:12:28Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, you just don't quit and every once in a while, something would happen that you don't expect. And you kind of go, you get pulled up a little bit, you know what I mean? But it's like, I have so many embarrassing failing moments where I was literally like calling people and go, I think literally I'm gonna kill myself. Yeah, that was so embarrassing.

• 1:12:49Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:12:50Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean? So it's like, but I didn't. I just kinda survived. You know, but um, you know, I had, uh, if you want to hear a story, yeah. Is that what you wanted? Is that what you were setting me up for?

• 1:13:00Speaker 04

  I was just curious, if anything, what's the thing that makes you go?

• 1:13:03Speaker 03

  What's your long beach?

• 1:13:03Bobby Lee?

  Okay, so my long beach is this, um, I'm auditioning for the Montreal Comedy Festival. I could never get one. I could never get one.

• 1:13:11Speaker 03

  Were you somewhat big at the time? Did you have anything going or no, no?

• 1:13:15Bobby Lee?

  This is before Matt TV. And I, um, I had Abby, my manager, who also manages the executive producer of Comics Unleashed.

• 1:13:24Speaker 04

  And Funny You Should Ask.

• 1:13:25Bobby Lee?

  And Funny You Should Ask. Okay, so anyway, um, I, she goes, sweetie, you're gonna do Chocolate Mondays or whatever it was.

• 1:13:33Speaker 04

  Chocolate Sundays.

• 1:13:34Bobby Lee?

  Chocolate Sundays, sorry. Why did you laugh? I got the day wrong.

• 1:13:38Speaker 03

  It's just funny to me, Chocolate Mondays.

• 1:13:40Speaker 05

  One's a pun.

• 1:13:41Bobby Lee?

  How, why, how is one a pun?

• 1:13:43Speaker 04

  Like an ice cream, Chocolate Sundae.

• 1:13:46Speaker 04

  Wait, you didn't know it was called Chocolate?

• 1:13:48Speaker 03

  To be honest with you, neither did I until you said that.

• 1:13:51Bobby Lee?

  I didn't know it was one.

• 1:13:52Speaker 04

  I didn't know. Black people love Sundae.

• 1:13:56Bobby Lee?

  I think it's like a church thing.

• 1:13:57Speaker 04

  I thought it was a church thing. I really did.

• 1:13:58Bobby Lee?

  I thought it was like a church, church thing. Oh my god, I never, you're right, Chocolate Sundae.

• 1:14:06Bobby Lee?

  I'm embarrassed. This is a game.

• 1:14:08Speaker 04

  Bobby Mune.

• 1:14:09Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:14:09Speaker 04

  I had no clue.

• 1:14:10Bobby Lee?

  I did Chocolate Sundae's and, uh, back then it was like a hard room. And, um, I go, okay, and she goes, I invited everybody.

• 1:14:22Speaker 04

  That's crazy.

• 1:14:23Bobby Lee?

  I go, what do you mean everybody? She's like, Montreal's coming, Will Smith's production's coming, uh, company's coming. Just all these fucking people are coming. HBO, I mean, the list goes on. And I was like, oh, okay. And I show up, I don't know any of the comedians, cause you know, at that time, I just played the store. I didn't know, you know what I mean? You know, later you find out who they are.

• 1:14:47Speaker 04

  Sure.

• 1:14:47Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean? Oh, Cedric the Entertainer. Yeah, I mean, like, I mean, these types of acts. And they put me in the middle of the show and they have Criss Cross.

• 1:14:57Speaker 03

  Holy crap.

• 1:14:58Bobby Lee?

  Like a, a, these two kids.

• 1:15:00Speaker 03

  Of cour- I know Criss Cross.

• 1:15:01Speaker 04

  They wear their pants backwards.

• 1:15:02Bobby Lee?

  Criss Cross, I'm like, Joe, Joe, Criss Cross. Right, and they are before me.

• 1:15:08Speaker 05

  Oh my god.

• 1:15:10Speaker 03

  No one would do well.

• 1:15:11Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, that's.

• 1:15:11Speaker 03

  You gotta follow Criss Cross in their prime?

• 1:15:13Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:15:14Speaker 03

  That's the stuff of nightmares.

• 1:15:15Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, and they're, they're, I didn't understand why their pants were backwards.

• 1:15:20Speaker 03

  That was their thing?

• 1:15:20Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but I wanted to say to them, hey, excuse me, kid, your pants are backwards, you're about to perform. Like, I didn't know that that was a hook.

• 1:15:27Speaker 04

  Maybe you guys are nervous.

• 1:15:28Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, maybe you're nervous. Yeah. And you know, it's a three pronger too.

• 1:15:35Speaker 04

  Wait, Bobby, can I ask before you even go further, when you do black rooms, cause the, the audiences are different. A lot of times the comedy is different for those people who, you know, maybe are unfamiliar. Did you typically do well in those types of settings?

• 1:15:45Bobby Lee?

  Nope.

• 1:15:45Speaker 04

  Okay, okay, so already you're in the know.

• 1:15:47Bobby Lee?

  Nope.

• 1:15:48Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 1:15:49Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:15:49Speaker 03

  Were you the only non-black act on the?

• 1:15:51Bobby Lee?

  Yep.

• 1:15:52Speaker 03

  This is, Bobby, this is tough for anybody.

• 1:15:54Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, and this is, you're talking also five years after the riot.

• 1:15:59Speaker 04

  The riots, oh boy.

• 1:16:00Bobby Lee?

  Okay. Yeah, yeah, so they think I'm a rooftop, they think I'm a rooftop Korean.

• 1:16:07Speaker 03

  Is that the name of your special?

• 1:16:09Bobby Lee?

  No, no, yeah, yeah, but yeah, yeah, but they think I'm a rooftop Korean. You know, and so I'm like, I'm not rooftop. Here's another thing that I do that I've changed over the years, but for some reason, when I played black rooms, I would find myself trying to talk different.

• 1:16:25Speaker 04

  Of course.

• 1:16:26Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean? To, to, you know, and it never, they just saw it right through.

• 1:16:29Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:16:30Bobby Lee?

  What's up, dogs? Yeah. It doesn't sound right.

• 1:16:33Speaker 03

  DJ, cut that shit.

• 1:16:34Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. You gotta just be yourself.

• 1:16:37Speaker 03

  Hell no. I'm Bobby L.

• 1:16:38Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:16:39Speaker 04

  He's got a catchphrase all of a sudden.

• 1:16:40Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:16:41Speaker 03

  I'm Lil Robert.

• 1:16:42Bobby Lee?

  So then.

• 1:16:43Speaker 03

  Lil Burt.

• 1:16:44Speaker 04

  He's like cheeseburger.

• 1:16:45Bobby Lee?

  So Criss Crocs go up and they do, they don't do comedy, they do music.

• 1:16:50Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:16:50Bobby Lee?

  There's a DJ on stage and, you know what I mean? Chum, chum, chum, I don't know.

• 1:16:54Speaker 03

  Were they going crazy?

• 1:16:55Bobby Lee?

  And they were doing a dance routine.

• 1:16:57Speaker 03

  Shit.

• 1:16:58Bobby Lee?

  And the whole place was standing.

• 1:16:59Speaker 04

  Oh no.

• 1:17:00Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean?

• 1:17:01Speaker 03

  God damn.

• 1:17:01Bobby Lee?

  Right, right, oh, it gets worse. It gets way worse, right? They do two songs, just killing it, right? And then the host gets up on stage and turns to the kids and go, We have more comics going up, so you guys gotta leave. The audience going, nah.

• 1:17:18Speaker 05

  Oh my.

• 1:17:20Bobby Lee?

  No, no, no, no, no, no, no, keep the kids up there, right? And then the kids are like, yeah, we're gonna do another one. And, and the guys, cause you know, there's so many comics on. They're like, no, we gotta move on, right? And then he brings me up while they're still on stage.

• 1:17:35Speaker 03

  Oh my god.

• 1:17:37Speaker 05

  So they're doing this?

• 1:17:39Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:17:39Speaker 05

  And then you're still coming on?

• 1:17:41Bobby Lee?

  Those two kids are on stage.

• 1:17:44Speaker 03

  You don't understand how huge.

• 1:17:46Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 1:17:46Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, these kids were the thing.

• 1:17:49Speaker 05

  And they're younger than I thought, like you're basically kicking kids.

• 1:17:52Speaker 03

  Choking off there.

• 1:17:53Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:17:54Speaker 04

  It's rooftop Korean.

• 1:17:55Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, rooftop Korean is walking up to kids going, you gotta get off stage.

• 1:17:59Speaker 05

  Crushing their dreams.

• 1:18:01Bobby Lee?

  And then they stay on stage and um, I, for some reason, so nervous, I just go into my act.

• 1:18:11Speaker 04

  Oh, you don't even fit with the dress?

• 1:18:13Bobby Lee?

  I don't acknowledge what's going on, I don't acknowledge, you know what I mean? You know, and my friend Jonathan Gottsick, like, cause you know, from the improv main stage, you can see people by the door, that double door.

• 1:18:27Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:18:27Bobby Lee?

  I, I see Gottsick standing there, and he's also the only white guy there. He, he has a bald head, and he's, we, back then, you know, we grew up together in comedy. And I remember at one point, two minutes in, he just kinda.

• 1:18:42Speaker 04

  Oh, when you start to see your allies turn from you?

• 1:18:44Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, the back of the room. Turn his body and walk out.

• 1:18:47Speaker 03

  Can't watch.

• 1:18:48Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, and I remember I made it to like, three or four minutes.

• 1:18:51Speaker 04

  Oh no.

• 1:18:52Bobby Lee?

  The kids are still on stage.

• 1:18:54Speaker 04

  What?

• 1:18:54Speaker 05

  Why, why are they on stage?

• 1:18:55Bobby Lee?

  They're doing a song after mine, I mean.

• 1:18:58Speaker 05

  Oh my god.

• 1:18:59Speaker 04

  You're an intermission to their act.

• 1:19:01Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:19:02Speaker 05

  That's mean.

• 1:19:03Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, and I get off stage in tears, that's how bad it was.

• 1:19:06Speaker 05

  Fuck.

• 1:19:07Bobby Lee?

  And I walk up to Jonathan, and Jonathan goes, you wanna move back to San Diego?

• 1:19:11Speaker 05

  Oh, what kind of friend is that?

• 1:19:13Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:19:13Bobby Lee?

  No, but, cause we moved here from San Diego.

• 1:19:15Speaker 05

  Oh.

• 1:19:15Bobby Lee?

  We started in San Diego, and he was trying to be helpful, like, maybe we're not ready.

• 1:19:19Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:19:20Speaker 05

  Yeah, it affected him.

• 1:19:21Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, it affected him, maybe we're not ready.

• 1:19:23Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:19:24Bobby Lee?

  And I, he couldn't, I was crying hard, it was so embarrassing.

• 1:19:28Speaker 03

  Yours is nothing.

• 1:19:30Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:19:31Bobby Lee?

  I swear. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I never did New Faces, ever. Even though I had opportunities to showcase years after that, never did it. And I believe it's crisscross. You, we, we have to get. I believe.

• 1:19:47Speaker 05

  They owe you an apology.

• 1:19:48Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I don't, they're kids. Well, they should have gotten off stage. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, no. They did another song and they crushed. Oh, my god. Cause I can hear them outside when I'm walking into my car. And at that point, there was no valet. So I'm walking down Melrose. Yeah. You mean, I'm going to Brea. Oh. From Melrose. Just that sad nighttime walk. Of course. You mean, you see all these fancy stores. Yes.

• 1:20:09Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:20:10Bobby Lee?

  And you're going, it's over. Yeah.

• 1:20:12Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:20:12Bobby Lee?

  It's all over. Do you have anything? No, you don't have anything like that.

• 1:20:15Speaker 05

  Oh, brother.

• 1:20:16Bobby Lee?

  Yes, brother.

• 1:20:17Speaker 05

  I have failed harder than fucking.

• 1:20:18Bobby Lee?

  That?

• 1:20:19Speaker 05

  Well, no, but I have, I have failed so bad that I thought I was gonna like die at the club that night.

• 1:20:26Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:20:27Speaker 05

  Like I thought someone was gonna kill me.

• 1:20:28Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Cause they're mad at you?

• 1:20:31Speaker 05

  I hurt feelings, yeah.

• 1:20:32Bobby Lee?

  Oh. Oh, you hurt feelings? You ripped somebody apart?

• 1:20:34Speaker 05

  No, I just like said a joke. They're like, what the fuck is wrong with you? And then I'm like, I don't.

• 1:20:38Bobby Lee?

  Oh, you said a joke?

• 1:20:39Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:20:40Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:20:40Speaker 05

  And, um.

• 1:20:42Bobby Lee?

  Was it, was it racial?

• 1:20:44Speaker 05

  Kinda, yeah.

• 1:20:46Bobby Lee?

  Can you? As he tells the story, he's a monster, or like? Listen, we cut with the show, so just say it, and if it's too uncomfortable, we'll cut it.

• 1:20:55Speaker 05

  No, it's bad. It's bad.

• 1:20:57Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, we wanna hear it.

• 1:20:57Speaker 05

  No, I can't.

• 1:20:58Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, you can. Zach? We'll cut it. We'll cut it. We really do cut it.

• 1:21:03Speaker 05

  Alright, so I was new and I was performing in a lot of white rooms. And I had a very dumb joke. I mean, I'm probably a few months in. And I had a dumb joke about, um, the Fonz, talking about an epidemic, and he goes, AIDS.

• 1:21:20Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:21:23Speaker 05

  Very stupid, silly.

• 1:21:24Bobby Lee?

  No, I like it.

• 1:21:24Speaker 05

  And, but it would do well in white rooms.

• 1:21:26Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:21:27Speaker 05

  And then I always saw a competition, uh, that was like, you could win 200 bucks. And I'm like, dude, I think I'm ready. I'm ready to start making some money.

• 1:21:34Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:21:35Speaker 05

  And so I signed up for this and I went with my friend. It was a all-black room in Stockton, I think, or outside of, maybe it was outside of Sacramento. Um, and the place was called Touch a Class.

• 1:21:45Speaker 03

  Touch a Class.

• 1:21:45Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:21:46Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:21:46Speaker 05

  And, uh, it was, we were the only white people or off white, off-black people in there.

• 1:21:52Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:21:52Speaker 05

  And, um, the guy was like, everyone's doing 10. And I didn't have 10. I had like two.

• 1:21:58Bobby Lee?

  Oh, go, go, go. Hold on. All right, okay. All right. All right, hold on, hold on, hold on. All right.

• 1:22:03Speaker 04

  What the fuck?

• 1:22:04Bobby Lee?

  You have two jokes, one of them is an AIDS joke.

• 1:22:06Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:22:08Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, you need some fallback. Well, I would. I would have won it a year.

• 1:22:12Speaker 05

  A lot of, a lot of my stuff was making fun of my Moroccan family, but in an all-black room, they don't care about your.

• 1:22:16Bobby Lee?

  Oh, I see.

• 1:22:17Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:22:18Bobby Lee?

  That does exist.

• 1:22:18Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:22:19Speaker 03

  In honesty, if he stretches the AIDS, it's three minutes.

• 1:22:23Speaker 05

  I just got up.

• 1:22:23Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:22:26Speaker 05

  Yeah. Uh, so they're like, everyone's doing 10 and we drew names out of a hat and they're like, you're up second.

• 1:22:31Bobby Lee?

  Oh, my God. Great spot.

• 1:22:33Speaker 05

  Fuck, I don't even, I don't know where to think, I needed more time to think of jokes.

• 1:22:37Bobby Lee?

  Wait, wait, wait, you're signing up for a competition?

• 1:22:40Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:22:40Bobby Lee?

  Where you only have two minutes of material?

• 1:22:43Speaker 05

  Maybe, maybe five, but it's mostly about my Moroccan family.

• 1:22:45Bobby Lee?

  I did the same thing, but let, but I, I've already talked about it. So I, I get it.

• 1:22:50Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:22:50Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:22:50Speaker 05

  So I, uh.

• 1:22:51Bobby Lee?

  You think you could like rise above the occasion?

• 1:22:53Speaker 05

  Yeah. Yeah.

• 1:22:54Speaker 03

  Think, yeah, think.

• 1:22:56Bobby Lee?

  You think.

• 1:22:56Speaker 03

  Pressure makes time, like the star in Mario Kart, you're just gonna be on stage like, fucking nice shirt. And everyone's like, ah.

• 1:23:02Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:23:03Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:23:03Speaker 05

  And, uh, I went up, uh, the first guy goes up and they go, what'd you guys think? And the room was so nice and supportive. They were like, should he move on or not? I'm like, oh shit, they're asking the crowd like that? And the crowd went, yeah. So he moved on and then I went up, did bits about my Moroccan family and I could just see the crowd like checking out. And they're like, dude, wrap it up, man. And it's been like three minutes. I'm supposed to do 10.

• 1:23:23Bobby Lee?

  Okay.

• 1:23:24Speaker 05

  And so then I finally do this AIDS joke, but for some reason I said like, Africa and epidemic. I don't even remember how I worded it.

• 1:23:33Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:23:33Speaker 04

  He wanted to tie in black people.

• 1:23:35Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:23:36Speaker 04

  Magic Johnson.

• 1:23:37Speaker 05

  We can all appreciate how sad the world is right now.

• 1:23:40Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:23:40Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah. So then I go, AIDS, and I'm not kidding you, there's like, maybe, it felt like 200 people in there.

• 1:23:45Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:23:46Speaker 05

  And standing room only, and I went, AIDS, and it was silence, and one voice in the back went, what?

• 1:23:55Speaker 05

  And then the host came up, and he's like.

• 1:23:59Bobby Lee?

  Oh, he pulled you off.

• 1:24:00Speaker 05

  He was like, he was like, being polite.

• 1:24:01Bobby Lee?

  Oh, yeah, oh, yeah.

• 1:24:02Speaker 05

  Down by the stage, like, oh, yeah, just get up. And so I, I'm like, thank you so much, and I leave, and these two big women got up to slowly walk out, to leave the show because they were so offended, but they blocked me, so I had to like, wait, walking through the crowd behind these women that just shook their heads at me.

• 1:24:18Bobby Lee?

  Oh, wow.

• 1:24:18Speaker 05

  And walked out, and he goes, what'd you guys think of that guy? Nooo.

• 1:24:22Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:24:22Speaker 05

  Hear the crowd as you leave. And I.

• 1:24:24Bobby Lee?

  Not even a boo.

• 1:24:25Speaker 05

  I sit and I.

• 1:24:25Bobby Lee?

  No.

• 1:24:26Speaker 05

  Yeah, no.

• 1:24:27Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:24:28Speaker 05

  Cognizant, no. I was devastated. I go and sit in my seat in the crowd. I didn't know where to go, and I just sit there and like, eat it, watching this crowd hate me, and I feel a tap on my shoulder, and I was so mortified that I just pretended to not feel it, and it's like, someone doing this, and I'm just getting nudged, and I'm like, ignoring it.

• 1:24:45Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, who was it?

• 1:24:46Speaker 05

  And then I turned around, and it was a woman, and she was like, how long you been doing comedy? And I was like, just a couple months, and then she turned to her boyfriend, she went, he's only been doing it a couple months, and he just looked at me and went.

• 1:24:58Speaker 05

  No, disapproval. And then a guy in a wheelchair pulled up and said he wanted to book me for his show, he's looking for non-black comics, and that was the only show I never showed up to.

• 1:25:08Bobby Lee?

  Oh, because you were just like, I can't show.

• 1:25:09Speaker 05

  I was like, there's no way he would want me on that show.

• 1:25:11Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 1:25:12Speaker 05

  It was brutal. I'm like, my heart's shaking.

• 1:25:14Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:25:14Speaker 05

  Like, thinking about it.

• 1:25:15Bobby Lee?

  Everyone has a story like that.

• 1:25:16Speaker 05

  It was brutal.

• 1:25:17Bobby Lee?

  Let me say something, you're a great comic now.

• 1:25:19Speaker 05

  Thank you.

• 1:25:20Bobby Lee?

  I think you had to go through all that.

• 1:25:21Speaker 05

  Yeah, it makes you stronger. I mean, you think about.

• 1:25:23Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:25:24Speaker 05

  It makes you feel like you deserve the breaks more than like, just doing well the whole time. Like, I had to deal with this shit, I had to deal with this, I did this awful show.

• 1:25:31Bobby Lee?

  As a headliner, I have to, I didn't do it with you because you didn't ask for it, but with Kat and Anne Ramsey, there's, we have to have conversations, like, it's okay, it's the second show, you know, you know what I mean? You have to be, I, you know, I always warn them, I go, Friday night, second show, probably gonna be the worst show we have.

• 1:25:49Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:25:50Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean? And, uh, don't take it personally.

• 1:25:52Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:25:53Bobby Lee?

  You know, um, so, you, you, you try to. String them along, have them learn little things here and there. I didn't, I never used to do pranks on you, right?

• 1:26:03Speaker 03

  I think you would try and then you'd realize I don't do that.

• 1:26:07Speaker 03

  And then you wait, you would like, respect my boundaries.

• 1:26:10Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, like, I would lock you in a, lock you in a...

• 1:26:13Speaker 03

  No, you wouldn't do that.

• 1:26:14Bobby Lee?

  Okay.

• 1:26:15Speaker 03

  Yeah, I think he did a little note to you one time where he had to go to the stage, but then you kept him back there.

• 1:26:19Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, that's what I mean, yeah, yeah, stuff like that.

• 1:26:20Speaker 03

  He had to get on stage and like, you would block the door.

• 1:26:22Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:26:22Speaker 04

  Oh my god, it's the worst.

• 1:26:23Bobby Lee?

  Did that, I did that to you?

• 1:26:25Speaker 03

  No, you, you wouldn't do it.

• 1:26:25Bobby Lee?

  I wouldn't do that to you, yeah.

• 1:26:26Speaker 03

  No.

• 1:26:27Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:26:27Speaker 04

  Wait, there's an option to exercise boundaries?

• 1:26:30Speaker 03

  Yeah, there is.

• 1:26:31Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, but the problem is that you already had that window of opportunity. Yeah, he's always been like that.

• 1:26:38Speaker 03

  Well, Bobby can sniff it, he's like a dog, like, he knows how far he can take with certain people.

• 1:26:41Speaker 04

  Well, 100%.

• 1:26:42Speaker 03

  And I think with, with me, you just knew like, alright, I know.

• 1:26:45Bobby Lee?

  This is how much, this is how much integrity, is that the right, right? Integrity he has, okay? I didn't even fucking know this guy, right? And I was on Mad TV.

• 1:26:54Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:26:54Bobby Lee?

  Right, and I had a scene where I was doing a series of celebrities touring my apartment. And so I had Dave Navarro as the celebrity, right? From Jane's Addiction.

• 1:27:06Speaker 03

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:27:07Bobby Lee?

  Right? And I wanted to open up a closet and have just an Afghani man with a hole storing something.

• 1:27:15Speaker 03

  In his underwear, no, sharpening a sword.

• 1:27:17Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, sharpening a sword, yeah, sharpening a sword, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:27:19Speaker 03

  You'd be in your underwear, sharpening a sword.

• 1:27:21Bobby Lee?

  And not even acknowledge it all and just kinda do this, and I offer him the part and he goes, "I'm not doing that." And at that time, he was just a...

• 1:27:28Speaker 03

  I was nobody, I was nobody, like...

• 1:27:30Bobby Lee?

  Right.

• 1:27:30Speaker 03

  I honestly, I said, "I don't want to do that." No, I, I wasn't, I just go like, "Uh, no, I don't want to do that." I just said that.

• 1:27:35Bobby Lee?

  That's what I just said.

• 1:27:36Speaker 03

  You made it sound like I go, "I'm not doing that," like I was offended or something.

• 1:27:39Bobby Lee?

  Uh, I'm not doing that.

• 1:27:42Speaker 03

  I said, "I don't want to do that."

• 1:27:42Bobby Lee?

  I don't, okay, I don't want to do that.

• 1:27:43Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:27:45Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, but that, I mean, would you, would you have done it?

• 1:27:48Speaker 03

  Uh, if I was...

• 1:27:49Bobby Lee?

  Network.

• 1:27:49Speaker 03

  How old were you? Twenty something.

• 1:27:51Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:27:51Speaker 04

  I'll do it right now.

• 1:27:54Bobby Lee?

  I know, I know. That's how different you are than him.

• 1:27:56Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:27:57Bobby Lee?

  That he always had that.

• 1:27:59Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:27:59Speaker 03

  But just in my mind, I'm like, what's, what's that gonna do for me? I'm just gonna be a split second, sharpening a sword in my underwear. I also don't.

• 1:28:06Bobby Lee?

  Is this it?

• 1:28:07Speaker 00

  Let's see who did it.

• 1:28:09Speaker 05

  Who is that?

• 1:28:10Bobby Lee?

  Who is that?

• 1:28:12Speaker 00

  I don't know.

• 1:28:12Speaker 05

  Oh, is that that guy that, uh, kinda hangs out in the store, right? That guy with the...

• 1:28:18Bobby Lee?

  That's Sandy Danto.

• 1:28:20Speaker 05

  Is that Sandy Danto? Is that really?

• 1:28:21Bobby Lee?

  That's Sandy Danto.

• 1:28:22Speaker 00

  Holy hair, wow.

• 1:28:23Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:28:24Speaker 05

  Like, nothing like him.

• 1:28:25Speaker 00

  Could've been you, Fahim.

• 1:28:27Speaker 00

  Missed out, brother.

• 1:28:28Speaker 05

  He's stirring a pot of...

• 1:28:29Speaker 03

  What if we had a time machine? Like, my life is so different. I'm in a mansion. It's the pool.

• 1:28:34Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, um...

• 1:28:37Speaker 05

  That's a good bit, though. Yeah, when you're younger, you say yes to everything. You're like, you're supposed to. But it takes, like, yeah, integrity to say no.

• 1:28:43Bobby Lee?

  What, now that you saw it, you still wouldn't do it?

• 1:28:47Speaker 03

  Yeah, I don't know why. I mean, I was pretty hardline on it back then, I guess. For me, it was just so quick. And then also, my parents, I'm in my underwear, it's Hollywood, like... I always think about the shame stuff, my parents and shit.

• 1:28:59Bobby Lee?

  Right, okay, okay, okay, okay.

• 1:29:00Speaker 05

  You don't wanna be like a caricature of their culture.

• 1:29:04Speaker 03

  Yeah, or, or whatever they think I'm gonna do.

• 1:29:06Bobby Lee?

  Even if I would've offered him, like, there's a part, you're a sketch, it's Michael McDonald's, the star of the sketch, you have to do a Afghani accent, he wouldn't do it.

• 1:29:18Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:29:19Speaker 05

  Right.

• 1:29:20Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, he, yeah, would you do it?

• 1:29:22Speaker 04

  Uh, if I could do accents, I would. I would like train. I would go on YouTube, I'd learn to do accents.

• 1:29:26Speaker 00

  I'll do anything. I'll do anything.

• 1:29:28Bobby Lee?

  Dude, I know, that's why you and I have more of a bond, I think.

• 1:29:32Speaker 04

  I think so.

• 1:29:33Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. That you're just willing to do anything.

• 1:29:35Speaker 04

  I'm in.

• 1:29:36Bobby Lee?

  I always, I also said this the other day, I called him, I go, I just wanna let you know, if I'm crossing any boundaries, or you feel uncomfortable, he's like, do whatever you want to me.

• 1:29:46Speaker 04

  Ramsey, just like a little.

• 1:29:47Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. He can do whatever you want to.

• 1:29:49Speaker 03

  Ramsey goes, go harder.

• 1:29:52Speaker 04

  I said, you can do whatever you want to.

• 1:29:54Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't mind. I don't care. You know what I mean?

• 1:29:56Speaker 05

  Bobby, I'm merely a series of holes.

• 1:30:01Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. Do you have integrity like that?

• 1:30:05Speaker 05

  I try to, um, you know, my, I feel like my mom was like, dude, do whatever you want. She was, you know, she was like a servant. So she was like, I don't care. Like you have freedom. Go be free. But I'll post some sketches where it's like, you know, I pretended to be like a paraplegic who's like getting fake jerked off by his nurse. And, uh, and my mom, I commented like, no, God, no. Turn this off. This isn't funny. I don't like this at all.

• 1:30:29Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:30:30Speaker 04

  It's in Arabic.

• 1:30:31Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:30:33Bobby Lee?

  But can I make the argument that funny wins?

• 1:30:36Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:30:36Speaker 04

  Always.

• 1:30:38Bobby Lee?

  I, I, I've always felt that in any situation, I'm funny wins.

• 1:30:43Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:30:43Bobby Lee?

  No matter what I say, you know, but, um, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe funny doesn't always win.

• 1:30:48Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:30:49Speaker 03

  I think ultimately it's just whatever you want to do, you know? I go off of that. I don't have like super hard lines, but I just feel my inside of me. I'm like, do I want to do this or do I not? And if I'll do an accent, I do land sometimes and that's an accent. So it's just sort of like, I have to, I have to feel it or.

• 1:31:04Bobby Lee?

  So if Bad Friends did a movie.

• 1:31:05Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:31:06Bobby Lee?

  And we want you to play a Lance like character, you know, at a club?

• 1:31:10Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:31:10Bobby Lee?

  Would you do it?

• 1:31:11Speaker 03

  Yeah, probably.

• 1:31:11Bobby Lee?

  Okay, yeah.

• 1:31:12Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:31:12Bobby Lee?

  If you said no, it would be the last thing we ask you for.

• 1:31:16Speaker 03

  Yeah, I mean.

• 1:31:17Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. It's, in fact, we were in the car and I, we were, I remember the underground comedy movie and that, the, the scene and the, have you seen this?

• 1:31:26Speaker 04

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:31:26Bobby Lee?

  So I, I, can we say it? Can we show it again? Or is it too dated? We've done it already.

• 1:31:31Speaker 05

  The. I'll try to find it.

• 1:31:32Bobby Lee?

  No, we saw it.

• 1:31:33Speaker 05

  Yeah, it was a great.

• 1:31:34Bobby Lee?

  The whole movie and he had, he had to kind of find the scene.

• 1:31:37Speaker 05

  Yeah. Yeah.

• 1:31:37Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:31:38Speaker 05

  Girls, right?

• 1:31:38Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. Yeah. With girl, with a girl. So I want to tell you, I was.

• 1:31:43Bobby Lee?

  Doing open mics, I was probably twenty-two, twenty-three. And literally, three weeks in, the Shamwow guy shows up. Vinnie.

• 1:31:51Speaker 03

  He was at Montreal one year.

• 1:31:53Bobby Lee?

  I know. R.I.P.

• 1:31:54Speaker 03

  What's his association with comedy?

• 1:31:55Bobby Lee?

  Nothing.

• 1:31:56Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 1:31:57Bobby Lee?

  He just happened to be at the La Jolla Comedy Store at open mic.

• 1:32:01Speaker 03

  Huh.

• 1:32:02Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, and he used to hang out there. Okay, so push pause.

• 1:32:05Speaker 03

  Just for reference, yeah.

• 1:32:06Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, okay, push pause. Push pause.

• 1:32:08Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:32:09Bobby Lee?

  So, um, Vinnie. Great way to pause. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, everyone's listening. Everyone's mics are on, so you can hear it? Okay. So he goes, he saw me do open mic. I had like, you know, two minutes of material.

• 1:32:22Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:32:22Bobby Lee?

  And he goes, uh, you wanna be a movie star?

• 1:32:27Bobby Lee?

  Terrible line. Yeah, it felt very like, you know what I mean, misogynist and he, yeah.

• 1:32:31Speaker 03

  Or it sounds like something you hear before you have to suck a dick or something.

• 1:32:34Bobby Lee?

  Sleazy Hollywood.

• 1:32:35Speaker 03

  You wanna be a movie star?

• 1:32:36Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, or something like that. Yeah, yeah. And I go, yes, sir. You know what I mean? Cause I knew, cause I had, I would watch television. I knew who he was.

• 1:32:44Speaker 03

  Oh, for sure.

• 1:32:44Bobby Lee?

  You're the Shamwow.

• 1:32:45Speaker 03

  Was he wearing the headset?

• 1:32:46Bobby Lee?

  The headset? No, but you could tell he was the Shamwow guy. Huge deal. Yeah, yeah, it's a huge deal for me. I've never met, aside from Pauly Shore and Carlos Mencia, I had never met a celebrity. Yeah. Okay, so I'm like, oh my god, what movie? He's like, you're, you're gonna speak in it, but we're gonna dub your voice. Like, like, you know what I mean? And it's very, um, stereotypical and it's not really that, you know what I mean, it's, you're not gonna like it. He just told you right away.

• 1:33:17Speaker 03

  That's pretty bold. They tell you it's stereotypical.

• 1:33:19Bobby Lee?

  It's really racist and it's like, so I can under, cause back then I still was like, I was like, what's up dude? I still was like a San Diego guy.

• 1:33:27Speaker 03

  Mmm.

• 1:33:27Bobby Lee?

  I sounded more like a beach guy. I listened to Fugazi. I was just kinda like that. I don't really know much about Asia or whatever. You know, I grew up in suburbs, you know what I mean, skating, you know? Yeah. And stuff like that. So, you know, this opportunity, so I came to North Hollywood.

• 1:33:41Speaker 03

  Right.

• 1:33:41Bobby Lee?

  And I filmed this beautiful piece of action. I was an open mic'er.

• 1:33:45Speaker 03

  Sure.

• 1:33:45Bobby Lee?

  It made me do it, you know what I mean? You know, I got no money.

• 1:33:48Speaker 03

  How many days of shooting was that?

• 1:33:50Bobby Lee?

  A day.

• 1:33:51Speaker 03

  For the, for the movie?

• 1:33:51Bobby Lee?

  All day.

• 1:33:52Speaker 03

  Just one scene?

• 1:33:52Bobby Lee?

  One, it's a sketch show, so it was like, we would do a sketch a day. And I remember driving back to San Diego going, I already ruined my career.

• 1:34:00Speaker 05

  Oh.

• 1:34:01Speaker 04

  Oh, you felt it. You felt bad.

• 1:34:03Bobby Lee?

  Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I go, it's over.

• 1:34:05Speaker 03

  So why'd you do it if you felt that on the car ride to San Diego?

• 1:34:09Bobby Lee?

  Back.

• 1:34:10Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:34:10Bobby Lee?

  After I did it.

• 1:34:11Speaker 03

  Oh, did you think, did you think it was going to be something different?

• 1:34:14Bobby Lee?

  I didn't know what it was.

• 1:34:14Speaker 05

  Yeah, but it sounded like opportunity.

• 1:34:16Bobby Lee?

  It sounded like opportunity. You know who else is in it? Michael Clarke Duncan.

• 1:34:20Speaker 05

  Whoa.

• 1:34:21Speaker 04

  Yeah, Michael Clarke Duncan.

• 1:34:22Speaker 05

  Green Mile.

• 1:34:22Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:34:23Bobby Lee?

  I mean, yeah, I mean, there's so many people in it. So I'm like, Slash is in it?

• 1:34:27Speaker 05

  Oh, that's.

• 1:34:27Speaker 04

  Wait, he gave you zero dollars?

• 1:34:29Bobby Lee?

  I have fifty bucks, maybe, for gas.

• 1:34:31Speaker 04

  Wow.

• 1:34:32Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, so, you know, he's saying, I got Michael Clarke Duncan, Slash, and in my mind, I'm like, oh, you know what I mean? Now, watching it now, you know what I mean? It's like, oh, my God. How terrible is it?

• 1:34:44Speaker 05

  Yeah, that's, but it's not the end. You know what I mean? Like.

• 1:34:47Bobby Lee?

  What do you mean it's not the end?

• 1:34:49Speaker 05

  Well, like, you feeling that bad, it's nice to know that you're fine.

• 1:34:53Bobby Lee?

  I'm flourishing.

• 1:34:54Speaker 05

  That's what I'm saying.

• 1:34:55Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. It felt so real in that moment.

• 1:34:57Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:34:58Bobby Lee?

  It felt damning.

• 1:34:58Speaker 03

  A drop in the bucket, like, it's literally just anecdotal at this point.

• 1:35:01Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:35:02Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, three years, or four years after that, I got Mad TV.

• 1:35:04Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:35:05Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, no one knew about that.

• 1:35:06Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:35:06Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean? But there was no internet, too.

• 1:35:08Speaker 03

  He goes, I have a sketch idea.

• 1:35:12Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I just rip it off. Yeah, yeah. But, you know, that, you know, you do things in your career that you're now proud of.

• 1:35:18Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:35:18Bobby Lee?

  And, um, you know, if I had to take it back, I don't think that that had any connection with me getting mad and movies and all that stuff. It's just a part of my history where I could have gone, no, dude.

• 1:35:31Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:35:32Bobby Lee?

  That did not help me.

• 1:35:34Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:35:34Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean? But.

• 1:35:35Speaker 03

  I think it's your twenties, though. You just do a bunch of stuff.

• 1:35:37Bobby Lee?

  Totally.

• 1:35:37Speaker 03

  And then you find out, you can't really be.

• 1:35:39Bobby Lee?

  Dude, you're talking about nineteen ninety-seven?

• 1:35:42Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:35:42Bobby Lee?

  Ninety-eight? You know what I mean? I mean, this is a long time ago.

• 1:35:45Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:35:46Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I mean, you, you wouldn't even recognize my body there.

• 1:35:49Speaker 04

  No, dude, you look great.

• 1:35:50Speaker 05

  I do.

• 1:35:51Bobby Lee?

  You do look good.

• 1:35:52Speaker 05

  I was waiting for you to enter. When that guy was on there.

• 1:35:55Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:35:56Speaker 05

  I was like, whoa.

• 1:35:57Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I was like thin and, you know, and I believe that if that kid, you know, had the jokes I have now.

• 1:36:03Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:36:04Bobby Lee?

  And I was that funny, but, but in this time period, 2006, that I would have done very well for myself.

• 1:36:10Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:36:10Speaker 04

  I think so too.

• 1:36:10Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. I had to survive that kind of racism in Hollywood.

• 1:36:15Speaker 05

  Sure.

• 1:36:15Bobby Lee?

  Where those are the kind of parts I was offered.

• 1:36:17Speaker 03

  I think about the generation before me, like Ma's and Ahmed Ahmed and stuff like that.

• 1:36:22Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:36:22Speaker 03

  Like what they had to navigate, it's tough because we have the luxury of social media now where we could be a little more nuanced. But the stuff Ma, I mean, the stuff that they had to do or the roles that were afforded to them aren't, we have a better opportunity now.

• 1:36:35Speaker 04

  Aside from Bobby offering you that, that thing in the closet, were there any other offensive things, Fahim, that you were offered that you felt like were, you know, crossing some type of a line?

• 1:36:45Speaker 03

  I think my agents knew what I wanted to do and what I didn't want to do. So I just, I made those boundaries again. Be like, I don't want to go out for this type of stuff.

• 1:36:51Speaker 05

  Hmm.

• 1:36:52Speaker 03

  I don't want to be the terrorist in Homeland or whatever.

• 1:36:55Speaker 05

  Right.

• 1:36:56Speaker 03

  What does that do for me as a comedian? No one's going to be like, oh, that guy was scary on FX. Let's go see him this weekend. At the Funny Bone.

• 1:37:03Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:37:04Speaker 03

  The guy who almost blew up America on, on CSI.

• 1:37:07Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:37:08Speaker 03

  Let's, let's see, you're in beef, let's see the softer side of him. Let's see where they, when they don't put eyeliner on him.

• 1:37:14Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:37:15Bobby Lee?

  And I've, I vowed never do an Asian accent again.

• 1:37:18Speaker 04

  Really?

• 1:37:18Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, about, John, I was talking to John Cho and he goes, I've never done one. And I go, you know what? I'm done. And this last year I've done two.

• 1:37:27Speaker 03

  I think it's case by case.

• 1:37:29Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:37:29Speaker 03

  When I was younger.

• 1:37:30Bobby Lee?

  I, I'm a whore.

• 1:37:32Speaker 05

  We have this conversation every year.

• 1:37:34Bobby Lee?

  Every year we have this conversation. And, and is there an Asian accent? You have to do one. Okay. Yes, master. Yes, master.

• 1:37:43Speaker 05

  You did stand up to a pretty big Netflix movie, the vampire one. You said, I'm not doing it.

• 1:37:47Bobby Lee?

  Oh, that, that, that one I did. Yeah. I had a big part in a Netflix movie where I had to do a thick, I'll tell you why. Because in that role, he didn't have to have one.

• 1:37:58Speaker 05

  Hmm.

• 1:37:59Bobby Lee?

  He was just some guy in LA that sold weapons. You know what I mean? So I'm like, why does he have to? He's like, director, that's just my vision. I wouldn't have a thick Korean accent.

• 1:38:08Speaker 03

  Oh, weird.

• 1:38:09Bobby Lee?

  And I go, yeah, but if I'm a Korean dude, you know what I mean? Because, you know, dumbfounded at all these kids that I know that grew up in that town, they talk like me.

• 1:38:18Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:38:18Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:38:18Bobby Lee?

  So why can't he be that? He's like, no, Asian accent. And I just said, I can't do it.

• 1:38:23Speaker 03

  You also were Chinese man.

• 1:38:25Bobby Lee?

  Chinese man, yeah, yeah. So I played Chinese man a lot, a lot.

• 1:38:27Speaker 03

  A lot, dude.

• 1:38:28Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, I'm really good at that.

• 1:38:29Speaker 04

  Michael Clarke Duncan played gay virgin.

• 1:38:32Bobby Lee?

  Gay virgin?

• 1:38:32Speaker 04

  I love the names of everybody in here.

• 1:38:33Bobby Lee?

  Slash was as host. Any other names in there that we know?

• 1:38:37Speaker 04

  KKK, it could have been worse. Vince Offer played JJ Cool. That definitely is not going to be racially sensitive.

• 1:38:42Bobby Lee?

  I know Michael Wielce, Risi.

• 1:38:44Speaker 04

  Michael Clarke.

• 1:38:45Speaker 03

  Ant as gay man.

• 1:38:46Speaker 04

  As gay virgin? Wow.

• 1:38:48Bobby Lee?

  As gay virgin, yeah.

• 1:38:49Speaker 03

  Transvestite? I don't even think you can say that anymore.

• 1:38:52Bobby Lee?

  Karen Black is a name.

• 1:38:53Speaker 03

  Oh, did you look at this?

• 1:38:54Speaker 04

  The lawsuit. You know movies good when it's got lawsuits.

• 1:38:57Speaker 03

  Ramsey, read the New York Times review.

• 1:38:58Speaker 04

  Where's the New York Times review? Where is it at? Okay, let's see. The New York Times offered a scathing review describing the movie as a series of, quote, "A series of sketches built around subjects like masturbation, defecation, alienation, urination, necrophilia, voyeurism, casual cruelty, and mockery of the unfortunate." Yo, bars. That makes me want to see the movie.

• 1:39:20Bobby Lee?

  I know.

• 1:39:21Speaker 04

  I'm like, whoa, that's good.

• 1:39:22Speaker 03

  Sometimes you're like, this might be art.

• 1:39:23Speaker 04

  I would put that on the poster of the film.

• 1:39:26Speaker 03

  Crazy, dude.

• 1:39:27Speaker 04

  Dude, it's so bad.

• 1:39:29Bobby Lee?

  Anyway.

• 1:39:31Speaker 03

  The Farrelly Brothers were on there?

• 1:39:33Bobby Lee?

  Anyway.

• 1:39:34Speaker 03

  Part of the lawsuit, yeah.

• 1:39:34Bobby Lee?

  Anyway.

• 1:39:35Speaker 03

  Oh, I see.

• 1:39:35Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, so it's good to have ethics, is my point, I think.

• 1:39:39Speaker 03

  Yeah, I'm less hard lined on it now. I'll do it next. Sometimes I did if the opportunity was big enough. I did that Tina Fey movie back in the day, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, where I'd play this Afghan guy. And I'm like, okay, he's, he lives in Afghanistan. He hasn't, it makes sense for him to have an accent.

• 1:39:53Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, okay, good.

• 1:39:54Speaker 03

  And the people involved, it was like Lorne Michaels producing and Tina Fey's in it, Alfred Molina. I'm like, this is too big of an opportunity to have these hard lines.

• 1:40:02Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, but no to Mad TV. I get it.

• 1:40:06Speaker 03

  I know. If I could go back in time, I would be in the closet.

• 1:40:10Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. Alright, what are you promoting?

• 1:40:12Speaker 03

  Oh, my special on YouTube. Yeah.

• 1:40:14Bobby Lee?

  Is it out?

• 1:40:14Speaker 03

  It's out, yeah. It's called Intrusive Thoughts. It's on my YouTube channel. Yeah, I'm proud of it, but time to move on.

• 1:40:20Speaker 04

  It's really good. I love all the clips inside.

• 1:40:21Speaker 03

  Oh, thanks, man. Thanks. Well, that's the other thing, too, is now I just gotta clip it up for social, so it's almost like...

• 1:40:26Bobby Lee?

  So you do it in the main room?

• 1:40:27Speaker 03

  I did it in the main room, yeah.

• 1:40:28Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, um, how many cameras did you use?

• 1:40:32Speaker 03

  Four? Maybe four or five.

• 1:40:33Bobby Lee?

  How many shows did you do? Two?

• 1:40:35Speaker 03

  One. I wasn't even, this wasn't even gonna be the special. It was on accident because Ali Wong was gonna maybe shoot mine and have her direct it and produce it because I was opening for her for a while and I'm like, oh, let's, if I could get the Shang Wang treatment, that'd be awesome. Because Shang was opening for her for a while, and then we were trying to do that, and then at the end of my tour, I had this on the books. And I go, I like the room, and let me just shoot it just in case that falls through, because Hollywood shit doesn't always work out.

• 1:41:01Bobby Lee?

  Did that fall through?

• 1:41:02Speaker 03

  It fell through. So I was so lucky that I had this.

• 1:41:04Bobby Lee?

  Wait, wait, Netflix said no to it?

• 1:41:06Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think, yeah.

• 1:41:08Bobby Lee?

  But you were in the party.

• 1:41:10Speaker 03

  I was Hassan's plus one. I wasn't even a real, Hassan hit me up the day before. He's like, you wanna go to this thing? I go, I don't know. I don't wanna seem like I'm, I scaled a fence to be at this party. And he goes, no, I brought Prashant last time. It's not a big deal. A bunch of plus ones come. I'm like, alright.

• 1:41:26Bobby Lee?

  You got in the photo, though.

• 1:41:28Speaker 03

  I didn't want to. Jeff Ross, he's like, get in this thing.

• 1:41:31Bobby Lee?

  Uh-oh. Did they let you through?

• 1:41:33Speaker 03

  I guess. I didn't wanna get in the photo, but then Jeff Ross is like, this is one of those things. He goes, you should be in this.

• 1:41:38Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, and let me say something. No one, I just found out that you were a plus one.

• 1:41:43Speaker 03

  Well, thanks.

• 1:41:43Bobby Lee?

  So in my mind, I'm like...

• 1:41:44Speaker 03

  My next special's gonna be called Plus One.

• 1:41:46Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. In my mind, I'm like, oh, yeah, Feem's here.

• 1:41:49Speaker 03

  Well, that's nice. Thanks, Bobby.

• 1:41:50Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, he said he wouldn't go.

• 1:41:52Speaker 04

  I wouldn't go. No, I feel...

• 1:41:53Bobby Lee?

  As a plus one?

• 1:41:54Speaker 04

  I'd be, I'd feel too uncomfortable.

• 1:41:55Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. Would you go as a plus one?

• 1:41:57Speaker 05

  That's integrity. No, I don't think I would. Yeah, I'd go.

• 1:41:59Speaker 04

  It's actually not integrity, I don't think, though.

• 1:42:00Bobby Lee?

  Where are you?

• 1:42:01Speaker 04

  I think it's fear.

• 1:42:02Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, where is a fear?

• 1:42:03Speaker 03

  Oh, I'm next to Norman in the back. Carol and Ray.

• 1:42:06Speaker 04

  Arms around Ted Sarandos.

• 1:42:07Bobby Lee?

  Wait, wait, let me see.

• 1:42:08Speaker 03

  That'd be funny. I'm in the front with Eddie Murphy. Eddie Murphy and Seinfeld, they're like.

• 1:42:13Bobby Lee?

  Let's see, let's.

• 1:42:14Speaker 05

  I gotta find a better photo, this one's too.

• 1:42:17Speaker 04

  These photos always like.

• 1:42:17Speaker 03

  No, you could see me there in the back.

• 1:42:18Speaker 04

  Yeah, there he is.

• 1:42:19Bobby Lee?

  Where, just zoom in on it.

• 1:42:20Speaker 03

  Here, cursor to the left, cursor to the left.

• 1:42:22Speaker 04

  Dude, if a Ron. You can see Mark Norman.

• 1:42:24Speaker 05

  Oh, here.

• 1:42:24Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:42:25Bobby Lee?

  Oh, there you are.

• 1:42:25Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:42:26Bobby Lee?

  Next, Caroline Ray and Mark Norman.

• 1:42:27Speaker 04

  This genuinely feels like a national security threat to me.

• 1:42:30Speaker 03

  But here's, here's the thing, though. I didn't want to go in this.

• 1:42:33Speaker 05

  Dangerous place to be.

• 1:42:33Speaker 03

  Jeff Ross was like, yo, you should be in this. And then, when I was at the photo, there were some comics where I'm like, I could be here.

• 1:42:40Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:42:40Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:42:41Speaker 03

  You know what I mean?

• 1:42:41Bobby Lee?

  100%, yeah. 100% dude, we're not gonna name those people, but 100%.

• 1:42:45Speaker 05

  If David Letterman's here, I'm here.

• 1:42:47Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:42:50Bobby Lee?

  So, seriously, if next year I get invited and I'm like, hey, you wanna come? You wouldn't go?

• 1:42:54Speaker 05

  No.

• 1:42:54Bobby Lee?

  Wow, that's good.

• 1:42:55Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:42:56Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I don't think I would go either.

• 1:42:57Speaker 05

  I can't do it. Well, I mean, you should go. Well, well.

• 1:42:59Bobby Lee?

  If I'm, if I was a plus one.

• 1:43:02Speaker 05

  Oh, I see.

• 1:43:02Bobby Lee?

  I couldn't do it.

• 1:43:03Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:43:03Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I gotta get invited.

• 1:43:04Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:43:05Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's just my thing.

• 1:43:07Speaker 05

  Totally.

• 1:43:07Bobby Lee?

  There's no way.

• 1:43:08Speaker 03

  I was trying to do that, but then Hasan like twisted my arm. He's like, it's not a big deal, dude, come.

• 1:43:11Speaker 04

  I think we're wrong. I think you're right.

• 1:43:12Speaker 05

  Yeah, Hasan was right.

• 1:43:13Bobby Lee?

  I think you're right.

• 1:43:14Speaker 04

  I think you're right.

• 1:43:15Bobby Lee?

  But also, they're not you.

• 1:43:16Speaker 04

  Yes, correct, also correct, yeah, also correct.

• 1:43:18Bobby Lee?

  You should have been invited.

• 1:43:19Speaker 05

  Right. Other people should have said no.

• 1:43:21Speaker 03

  But I don't know, look, it's their own taste, it's their own party. If, if, if they don't see me as a non-plus one, they don't see me as a plus, non-plus one. And I'm not trying to do this Instagram thing of like, I'm gonna post that photo.

• 1:43:30Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:43:30Speaker 03

  I'm not trying to juice the optics of this thing.

• 1:43:34Speaker 03

  My, my friend asked me to hang out and I, I tried to get out of it and he said, no, come.

• 1:43:37Speaker 05

  If you posted it, no one would care or question it.

• 1:43:40Speaker 03

  I guess. But my soul couldn't let me do that. I couldn't be like, what an amazing time at the Netflix brunch.

• 1:43:44Speaker 04

  Thanks Ted, thanks Ted.

• 1:43:46Bobby Lee?

  I didn't post anything.

• 1:43:47Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:43:47Speaker 04

  You never post anything, Bill.

• 1:43:48Bobby Lee?

  I know, but I would, I wouldn't post it. And I'll, and I'll tell you why, okay? It's.

• 1:43:55Bobby Lee?

  I have a real resentment toward legacy media and the elites.

• 1:43:59Speaker 05

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:43:59Speaker 03

  I'm with you.

• 1:44:00Bobby Lee?

  In Hollywood.

• 1:44:00Speaker 03

  I'm with you, yeah.

• 1:44:01Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I, right? And they pick who they pick.

• 1:44:03Speaker 03

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:44:04Bobby Lee?

  And it's not based on humor, it's not based on the streets.

• 1:44:08Speaker 05

  Fanbase.

• 1:44:09Bobby Lee?

  Right?

• 1:44:09Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:44:09Bobby Lee?

  It's based on anything, it's arbitrary and it's who's in the club.

• 1:44:14Speaker 05

  Yep.

• 1:44:14Speaker 03

  Yeah, it's a country club.

• 1:44:15Bobby Lee?

  It's a country club.

• 1:44:16Speaker 03

  And I love how.

• 1:44:17Bobby Lee?

  It's very elitist.

• 1:44:17Speaker 03

  The internet has blown that up and I love it.

• 1:44:19Bobby Lee?

  I love it too.

• 1:44:20Speaker 03

  I'm way further along in my career now than trying to play the way Hollywood used to be back in the day.

• 1:44:25Bobby Lee?

  And I tried to play it and, and sometimes I got in.

• 1:44:28Speaker 03

  Sometimes.

• 1:44:29Bobby Lee?

  I got it, you know what I mean? I couldn't believe it.

• 1:44:31Speaker 03

  But you didn't realize how rigged it was until you see what's happening now with like.

• 1:44:34Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:44:34Speaker 03

  How much you're flourishing online and people just like who they like.

• 1:44:37Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I should have been. You know, there was always like a top five for a movie. Jimmy Oh Yang, Ken Jeong, Ronnie Chang. I was fifth. Every movie. So four people would have had to have said no for me to get it. And that's hence the Asian accent.

• 1:44:59Speaker 03

  Well, back in the day, you couldn't even get in front of people unless the Comedy Central guy liked you. There was no phones.

• 1:45:05Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:45:05Speaker 03

  So if the gatekeeper didn't like you, no one would ever see you, except you at a club or something.

• 1:45:10Speaker 05

  Right.

• 1:45:10Bobby Lee?

  Alison Jones was the only gatekeeper that liked me. And I have to say that out loud. Most every movie, Hollywood movie I ever did or television that's worth anything was through Alison Jones. And she's in Apatow and Larry David.

• 1:45:27Speaker 03

  Yeah, amazing casting director. Those were huge.

• 1:45:30Bobby Lee?

  She also, and I, she also believed in me. And so it's like, without her, I would have never gotten anything. I think Mad TV got on my own, but other than that, you know what I mean, it was Alison. But, but now it's like, um, and I could already tell who, you know, I wasn't in fully. And so now, what internet happened, I was just like, me and Andrew both, Andrew feels the same way, I can speak on his behalf. That we like, we didn't get in and we have a little bit of chip on our shoulders. And now we're doing our own thing.

• 1:46:02Speaker 05

  That's also encouraging, just like the failure thing where it's like you see carving your own way works out. You know, if like stand on what you believe in, what you like to do, it's funny.

• 1:46:11Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. I'm also old and I've been in it. I survived every, and I'm thirty years plus in. I'm fifty-five almost. Do you believe it?

• 1:46:20Speaker 05

  No.

• 1:46:20Speaker 04

  That's crazy.

• 1:46:21Bobby Lee?

  I could die, you know?

• 1:46:23Speaker 04

  I love, I love what we.

• 1:46:24Bobby Lee?

  Thanks for coming out, everybody.

• 1:46:28Bobby Lee?

  You know?

• 1:46:28Speaker 00

  You're on a list, dude, on IMDb, so that's important.

• 1:46:31Bobby Lee?

  Behemoths?

• 1:46:32Speaker 00

  You.

• 1:46:33Speaker 04

  Where are you at, Bobby? Where is he at?

• 1:46:34Speaker 00

  Look, John Cho.

• 1:46:36Speaker 04

  You're showing him the wrong part of the list.

• 1:46:37Speaker 03

  This is just like a user-generated list.

• 1:46:38Speaker 00

  Nah, it's real, man. Bobby Lee twelve.

• 1:46:41Bobby Lee?

  Whoa, come on, dude.

• 1:46:44Speaker 04

  Yeah, but he's not gonna look who he's above. He wants to see who he's below.

• 1:46:47Bobby Lee?

  No, let's see what's below.

• 1:46:48Speaker 00

  Justin Chon.

• 1:46:50Speaker 04

  Rexley.

• 1:46:51Speaker 00

  Beatty Wong.

• 1:46:52Speaker 04

  That's classic.

• 1:46:53Bobby Lee?

  Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, good, good.

• 1:46:54Speaker 04

  Yeah, you do. This is pretty good.

• 1:46:56Bobby Lee?

  Who's ahead of me, though?

• 1:46:57Speaker 04

  That's what I wanna know.

• 1:46:57Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, it's me. Rand, Randall's ahead.

• 1:46:59Speaker 00

  Ken Long.

• 1:47:00Speaker 05

  Ken Long.

• 1:47:00Bobby Lee?

  Ken Long's great, though. He was in Project Hall Mary.

• 1:47:02Speaker 03

  Pull up top 20 Afghan-American stand-up comedians.

• 1:47:07Speaker 04

  Fahima's first wife.

• 1:47:08Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, pull it up. No, they're.

• 1:47:09Speaker 00

  I don't think that's a list.

• 1:47:10Bobby Lee?

  Okay, yeah. If I'm in top 12, I'm, like, go a little further in the beginning. These are Koreans specifically?

• 1:47:17Speaker 04

  Or is it Asians?

• 1:47:18Speaker 00

  It's just Asians.

• 1:47:18Bobby Lee?

  Oh, yeah, Perry Chan, John's want to. Where's Steven Yeun? Yeah, what the hell?

• 1:47:24Speaker 04

  This is on IMDb, too, so.

• 1:47:26Speaker 00

  Sorry, my bad.

• 1:47:26Speaker 04

  14 years ago.

• 1:47:27Bobby Lee?

  Oh, damn.

• 1:47:28Speaker 04

  Well, this might be shifted now.

• 1:47:29Bobby Lee?

  That's 14 years ago?

• 1:47:31Speaker 04

  Wait, but hold on, Bobby.

• 1:47:32Speaker 00

  The first one that came up.

• 1:47:33Speaker 04

  Your star has only risen even more in 14.

• 1:47:35Speaker 00

  You might be one.

• 1:47:36Speaker 03

  You'd be one now.

• 1:47:37Speaker 04

  You'd be, you'd be at least in the top five.

• 1:47:38Bobby Lee?

  And you know what? Don't even look it up. I don't even wanna fucking see it. Don't even look it up.

• 1:47:42Speaker 00

  I'm not looking it.

• 1:47:42Bobby Lee?

  I'm 12. I felt good about that.

• 1:47:44Speaker 00

  Hold on to that. Hold on.

• 1:47:45Bobby Lee?

  I'm gonna hold on to 12. Yeah, yeah.

• 1:47:47Speaker 04

  I think you're higher now. That's my, my.

• 1:47:48Bobby Lee?

  I'll tell you why I'm not higher.

• 1:47:50Speaker 04

  Tell me.

• 1:47:51Bobby Lee?

  There's this thing called the Golden Gala event.

• 1:47:53Speaker 00

  You get invited, don't lie.

• 1:47:54Bobby Lee?

  I did.

• 1:47:55Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:47:55Bobby Lee?

  And I was gonna go. And I asked, all right, me plus my girlfriend, and they go, you don't get to bring a guest.

• 1:48:02Speaker 04

  Ooh.

• 1:48:03Bobby Lee?

  Oh, shit. So I said, all right, I'm not going.

• 1:48:05Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:48:06Speaker 00

  Nice.

• 1:48:06Speaker 04

  You don't get to bring a guest? Are you kidding me?

• 1:48:09Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, because I've been there before and I go, oh, there's John Cho's wife.

• 1:48:12Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:48:13Bobby Lee?

  Or whatever. Right? I don't get to bring a guest?

• 1:48:16Speaker 03

  What if she, she got invited, though?

• 1:48:17Bobby Lee?

  Who?

• 1:48:18Speaker 03

  John Cho's wife. She got an individual invite instead of a plus one.

• 1:48:21Speaker 00

  That's true.

• 1:48:22Bobby Lee?

  It doesn't matter how my plus one is invited.

• 1:48:25Speaker 04

  I agree.

• 1:48:25Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean? And I had been there before, and what they do is they put the old, in their eyes, the older ones in the back.

• 1:48:34Speaker 04

  Elders.

• 1:48:35Bobby Lee?

  It's me, Marco Cho, you know what I mean? You know, just sitting in the back there. You know what I mean? When you, you look in the front of the table. Who's in the front? It's Cherry Cola.

• 1:48:45Speaker 04

  Ronnie Chang?

• 1:48:46Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, Ronnie Chang.

• 1:48:47Speaker 05

  Aquafina?

• 1:48:47Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, John, John, John, Stephen Yu and Michelle Yeoh. They're all in the front. You know what I mean? I mean, I'm in crickets. And I still go, I get it.

• 1:48:57Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:48:57Bobby Lee?

  Right? But I found it a little offensive. And I, I always need a war too. Right? Cause my war with, uh, other things have, I've won it. I, I win every wars.

• 1:49:07Speaker 05

  Uh huh, that's true.

• 1:49:08Bobby Lee?

  And as, just to let you guys know, you have to win every war. And if it takes 10 years.

• 1:49:14Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:49:14Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:49:15Bobby Lee?

  20 years.

• 1:49:16Speaker 04

  Did you hear that, Trevor Wallace?

• 1:49:19Speaker 03

  You restarted it?

• 1:49:19Speaker 04

  You're reigniting it?

• 1:49:20Bobby Lee?

  Restart it, dude, win this one.

• 1:49:22Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:49:22Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, restart the war, dude.

• 1:49:24Speaker 04

  So his fifth home. I got, he's, I'm coming for you, buddy.

• 1:49:27Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. And so, um, your war with this person.

• 1:49:32Speaker 03

  Sure.

• 1:49:33Bobby Lee?

  Is, um, I'm on your side on this war.

• 1:49:35Speaker 03

  Thank you.

• 1:49:36Bobby Lee?

  I recently saw this person a week ago.

• 1:49:39Speaker 03

  Damn.

• 1:49:39Bobby Lee?

  Unfortunately, I gave him the biggest hug one can give.

• 1:49:42Speaker 03

  That's fine, you know?

• 1:49:43Bobby Lee?

  Okay, okay.

• 1:49:44Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:49:44Bobby Lee?

  I did a head rub.

• 1:49:46Speaker 05

  Oh, wow.

• 1:49:47Speaker 04

  Oh, God.

• 1:49:47Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, cause he's no longer in the business.

• 1:49:49Speaker 03

  Or, yeah. My, my only thing is, he was saying bad things about me that weren't true.

• 1:49:55Bobby Lee?

  They're, they're not true. And, and, and all comics know that when they're.

• 1:49:57Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:49:58Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:49:58Speaker 03

  But it just sucks when you're not there to defend yourself and you go, okay, I guess these lies are just being spread and you can't do anything about it.

• 1:50:03Speaker 04

  And I guess if they're out of the business, then you won.

• 1:50:05Speaker 05

  You already won.

• 1:50:06Speaker 03

  I guess, yeah.

• 1:50:07Speaker 04

  You took them out.

• 1:50:08Speaker 05

  Thinking about them does you know.

• 1:50:09Speaker 03

  I don't think about them every day or anything like that, but I'm just like, oh, okay.

• 1:50:12Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:50:12Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. We all have those.

• 1:50:14Speaker 05

  I have, I have a big war. My mom, when she was a servant, when she was poor in Morocco, she helped two white travelers that were hitchhiking and.

• 1:50:21Bobby Lee?

  Here we go.

• 1:50:21Speaker 05

  And, uh, she helped them find shelter and took care of them and then took them to the bus they were trying to get to, to go to Algeria. And the guy in the group was like, hit me up if you ever need anything, if you ever come out to Canada. And he wrote down his name and his number and it's James Cameron.

• 1:50:35Speaker 04

  Are you kidding me?

• 1:50:36Speaker 05

  I swear to God.

• 1:50:38Speaker 03

  And you gotta use it.

• 1:50:39Bobby Lee?

  Your mom, your mom has James Cameron's number?

• 1:50:43Speaker 05

  Well, his old number before he was famous. This was like the seventies.

• 1:50:47Speaker 03

  Wow. You could be a Na'vi.

• 1:50:49Speaker 05

  She hit him up. She was like, please, my son is doing acting.

• 1:50:52Bobby Lee?

  You?

• 1:50:53Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:50:54Bobby Lee?

  And he never put you in anything?

• 1:50:55Speaker 04

  Dude, this is crazy. This is crazy.

• 1:50:57Speaker 05

  Yeah. Yeah. She sent me a photo of his number. She's like, I told you I wasn't lying. And it's like in her book.

• 1:51:03Speaker 03

  It's just random numbers?

• 1:51:04Bobby Lee?

  That's proof.

• 1:51:05Speaker 03

  I told you.

• 1:51:06Bobby Lee?

  There's also, there's a lot of James Camerons in the world.

• 1:51:08Speaker 05

  No, she actually, her friend was a P I. And found out that it was James Cameron.

• 1:51:12Bobby Lee?

  Oh, I see. I see, see, see.

• 1:51:15Speaker 05

  And that friend died in her sleep.

• 1:51:16Bobby Lee?

  Whoa.

• 1:51:17Speaker 05

  She got too close.

• 1:51:18Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. But at that point, this is pre Terminator.

• 1:51:21Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:51:21Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. I mean, what would you play in that movie as a kid?

• 1:51:24Speaker 05

  Uh, well, no, no, no. She did it, I think, when I started like comedy. So this is probably like early Avatar, maybe, or no?

• 1:51:31Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, so he had already made it.

• 1:51:32Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:51:33Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, but so then use the number.

• 1:51:36Speaker 05

  She reached out to him.

• 1:51:37Bobby Lee?

  Oh, and he never responded?

• 1:51:38Speaker 05

  He never responded.

• 1:51:39Bobby Lee?

  Oh, I see.

• 1:51:40Speaker 04

  So you have a beef with James Cameron?

• 1:51:41Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:51:43Bobby Lee?

  Oh, okay.

• 1:51:44Speaker 05

  I can't let it go.

• 1:51:45Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:51:45Speaker 05

  I can't let it go.

• 1:51:46Bobby Lee?

  Well, James.

• 1:51:48Speaker 03

  If you're listening.

• 1:51:48Bobby Lee?

  We know you're listening. Yeah. We know you're listening.

• 1:51:50Speaker 05

  We could have left you for dead at that bus stop in Casablanca, but no.

• 1:51:53Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. And this was so, when, 2018? What happened? The Casablanca thing?

• 1:51:58Speaker 05

  What, when he, when my mom helped him?

• 1:51:59Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:52:00Speaker 05

  No, it was like in the seventies. He was like a traveling stoner.

• 1:52:02Bobby Lee?

  I don't get what you're saying.

• 1:52:03Speaker 05

  He was hitchhiking as like a twenty something.

• 1:52:05Bobby Lee?

  Oh, so in the seventies, your mom called him, but he had never done movies?

• 1:52:09Speaker 05

  No, no, no. In the seventies.

• 1:52:10Bobby Lee?

  Dude, get your story right. I don't understand your story. Start from the beginning.

• 1:52:14Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 1:52:14Bobby Lee?

  Are you understanding the story?

• 1:52:16Speaker 05

  A little bit.

• 1:52:16Bobby Lee?

  No, no, no.

• 1:52:17Speaker 05

  Backpacking.

• 1:52:17Bobby Lee?

  Yes. Okay, tell me the story.

• 1:52:19Speaker 04

  So, so, uh, this guy was backpacking across Morocco.

• 1:52:22Bobby Lee?

  In the seventies?

• 1:52:23Speaker 04

  In the seventies.

• 1:52:24Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:52:24Speaker 04

  He was stranded. He needed help. Zach's Moroccan mother helped him. And he said, if I can do anything for you, if you ever come to Canada, here's my phone number, call me. And so Zach's mother reached out when Zach started comedy and said.

• 1:52:37Bobby Lee?

  This is years later.

• 1:52:38Speaker 05

  Years later.

• 1:52:39Bobby Lee?

  You think he has the same number?

• 1:52:40Speaker 05

  I, no, no, no, but she, she found the address. She wrote him a letter. Fan mail.

• 1:52:44Speaker 03

  Wow.

• 1:52:45Bobby Lee?

  You think he reads that?

• 1:52:47Speaker 03

  Who knows?

• 1:52:48Bobby Lee?

  He gets a billion fan letters.

• 1:52:50Speaker 04

  Yeah, he should still read it.

• 1:52:51Speaker 05

  I don't know.

• 1:52:52Bobby Lee?

  No.

• 1:52:52Speaker 05

  Are people sending that many letters these days to James Cameron? Letters, like handwritten letters?

• 1:52:57Speaker 04

  Bob, are you taking James Cameron's side?

• 1:52:59Bobby Lee?

  Look, I get it.

• 1:53:00Speaker 04

  Over Zach Chaplone, who you?

• 1:53:02Bobby Lee?

  I get it.

• 1:53:02Speaker 03

  It's a ride.

• 1:53:04Speaker 05

  Over a ride?

• 1:53:05Speaker 03

  But you know what? She helped.

• 1:53:06Speaker 05

  No, he stayed with them. He stayed in their home, they fed him.

• 1:53:10Speaker 03

  That changes things.

• 1:53:10Bobby Lee?

  That does change things.

• 1:53:11Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:53:12Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, so James, if you're listening, their son is on my podcast right now. He demands some lines.

• 1:53:19Speaker 05

  Turn me blue.

• 1:53:20Bobby Lee?

  No, no, no, we're not turning you blue.

• 1:53:22Speaker 05

  No, let me go Avatar.

• 1:53:24Bobby Lee?

  No, no, no.

  Ooh.

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:53:30Speaker 05

  Yeah, or The Abyss.

• 1:53:32Speaker 04

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:53:33Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, part two. You can play water creature, I don't know.

• 1:53:37Speaker 05

  I'm just a blob.

  A blob.

  I'm an orb?

• 1:53:40Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. You'll be an orb.

• 1:53:42Speaker 03

  Who was the big director? Was it a commercial you did? Not, it was like Cameron Lake?

• 1:53:46Bobby Lee?

  No, we already, we resolved that.

• 1:53:49Speaker 03

  Ah.

  That's it. That's pretty amazing.

  Yeah, with his hologram.
