  I mean, I just, I walked in the room and he goes, "I don't know you."

• 3:55Bobby Lee?

  Sorry, Tom Segura?

  Every day, every day, if I think about it, it pisses me off.

  His special.

  A lot.

  Yeah, at one time.

  With marinara or just?

• 4:35Speaker 03

  With ham.

• 4:36Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 4:36Speaker 06

  With ham? Sounds like it was a ham and cheese.

• 4:40Speaker 03

  Gross sandwich.

• 4:41Speaker 06

  Wow.

• 4:41Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. So, um, you want to apologize to our guest?

• 4:43Speaker 03

  Sorry, Tom Segura?

• 4:45Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 4:46Speaker 00

  Why is he so cocky right now?

• 4:47Bobby Lee?

  I'm so sorry, Tom. I'm so sorry.

• 4:49Speaker 06

  This is just...

• 4:49Bobby Lee?

  I know, I know, I know, I know. I know. We're starting off on the wrong foot.

• 4:53Speaker 06

  How is it the fourth time you think it's still working? You're like...

• 4:58Speaker 00

  I don't believe in rules of three.

• 4:59Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 5:00Speaker 06

  Segura?

• 5:00Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 5:01Speaker 06

  Dude, can't you say it like a fucking spic? Can't you fucking?

• 5:05Speaker 03

  Tom Segura.

• 5:07Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 5:08Speaker 06

  Come on.

• 5:08Bobby Lee?

  Hey, Tom Segura.

• 5:09Speaker 03

  Hey Bobby, it's Tom Segura.

• 5:11Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, very good.

• 5:11Speaker 06

  But can't you do like a Segura?

• 5:13Speaker 03

  Oh, Tom Segura?

• 5:15Speaker 06

  You still not...

• 5:15Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 5:16Speaker 05

  Roll your Rs, Jaime. Segura.

• 5:18Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. Look at those lips. Can't do anything.

• 5:20Speaker 03

  Can't do anything.

• 5:23Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. Tommy, so I shot it.

• 5:25Speaker 06

  You shot, so wait, so...

• 5:26Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, Tommy! Tommy!

• 5:29Speaker 00

  How many has Tom done?

• 5:30Speaker 06

  Now, so...

• 5:31Bobby Lee?

  He's done eight.

• 5:32Speaker 06

  No.

• 5:33Bobby Lee?

  Six.

• 5:34Speaker 06

  Six.

• 5:34Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, six.

• 5:35Speaker 06

  But, so, just, did you fill them in on our... Because we spoke last week.

• 5:39Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, we did.

• 5:39Speaker 06

  And I was like, "It's coming up," and you're like, "Fuck you, man, you fucking asshole."

• 5:45Speaker 06

  What? I was like, "It's gonna go great," and you were... And I could tell it went well, because you have a big fucking smile. You walked, I said, "How'd it go?" Huge smile. It went great.

• 5:53Bobby Lee?

  Well, here, here's the thing. It wasn't as difficult as I thought it was gonna be.

• 5:58Speaker 06

  Because you've done it 20,000 times?

• 5:59Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 6:00Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 6:00Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 6:01Speaker 06

  That whole thing?

• 6:02Bobby Lee?

  Well, it's, no, it's, it's...

• 6:03Speaker 06

  It's stressful.

• 6:04Bobby Lee?

  It's stressful, but you're just doing your act.

• 6:07Speaker 06

  Right.

• 6:08Bobby Lee?

  Right, and the audience is like a TV audience.

• 6:10Speaker 06

  It's hyped, they're hyped, right?

• 6:11Bobby Lee?

  They're hyped up.

• 6:12Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 6:12Bobby Lee?

  So it's like, I can't see, unless you're not prepared, you know what I mean?

• 6:16Speaker 06

  But you've been, like, your last 20 years are preparing. You're prepared.

• 6:21Bobby Lee?

  When opportunity meets...

• 6:23Speaker 06

  You're Eminem, I get it.

• 6:25Bobby Lee?

  Wait, wait. Wait, wait, I know, I know what it is, I know what, let me... When practice meets...

• 6:29Speaker 05

  No, no, opportunity meets...

• 6:32Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, what, opportunity meets unpreparation.

• 6:34Speaker 06

  Preparation.

• 6:35Bobby Lee?

  That's success.

• 6:36Speaker 06

  That's not the expression, but I get it.

• 6:38Bobby Lee?

  No, but what is it then?

• 6:39Speaker 06

  Talent plus, uh, everything.

• 6:42Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, you don't know it either.

• 6:45Speaker 06

  Fuck, I don't know it either.

• 6:46Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 6:46Speaker 06

  So wait, you taped four?

• 6:47Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 6:48Speaker 06

  Do you have a favorite one of the four?

• 6:51Bobby Lee?

  I think the fourth one is where I was the most wild.

• 6:54Speaker 06

  Wild?

• 6:55Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was, I was like, I have it in the can, so I'm just gonna go a little extra mugging wise in bits.

• 7:02Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 7:02Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean?

• 7:03Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 7:03Bobby Lee?

  What do you mean?

• 7:04Speaker 06

  Four was, four was definitely the most Bobby one, and first one was, was, I thought, like a great stand-up special.

• 7:10Bobby Lee?

  Oh, okay. Thank you. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 7:12Speaker 06

  That does make sense, actually. That makes a lot of sense.

• 7:14Bobby Lee?

  Well, explain, because that didn't make any sense to me.

• 7:16Speaker 06

  So, here's the thing. The first one, you actually have the most nerves.

• 7:22Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 7:22Speaker 06

  So the way you, the way you perform on show one is probably the closest to, like, I'm gonna put on the best stand-up show I can. Once the, once you start knocking down more and more shows, you get like a looseness to you, but that doesn't necessarily mean that you're-

• 7:39Bobby Lee?

  It's better.

• 7:40Speaker 06

  Better. You know what I mean? Sometimes that first one has the right amount of anxiety.

• 7:45Bobby Lee?

  Yes.

• 7:45Speaker 06

  And, and all the elements are right to have like the best performance.

• 7:48Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Very, very, very, very, very good. Very, very good.

• 7:51Speaker 06

  That's so Asian, the way you just-

• 7:53Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, well, I'm Asian.

• 7:54Speaker 06

  I know.

• 7:54Bobby Lee?

  And I'm not gonna even apologize for it anymore.

• 7:56Speaker 06

  Anymore.

• 7:57Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I mean, I am who I am. I'm proud of who I am, and I sometimes, I talk like, I talk like this. Okay? Sometimes I do, you know? And so, what, what are you looking at her for?

• 8:05Speaker 06

  Just like, how you doing?

• 8:10Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 8:10Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 8:11Bobby Lee?

  And then, um, well, here's the thing. After the first show, I got offstage, and everyone was kind of meeting me backstage.

• 8:19Speaker 06

  Is this annoying? Is this shit out of you?

• 8:20Bobby Lee?

  No, I, I just saw their faces, and it, it seemed like they were like, that was it. You know what I mean? So, um, a- after that, it was fine.

• 8:29Speaker 06

  Doesn't it, because, do you do the thing where after the first one, when they're like, you got it, and you're like, great, let's cancel the next three? We got it.

• 8:36Bobby Lee?

  I, you know what? There was a part of me that was like, did I say that? I go, why are we doing three more?

• 8:42Speaker 06

  I'm always like, yeah, book a bunch. And then when they're like, you got it. I'm like, good. Let's all go home.

• 8:46Bobby Lee?

  I know, but you have to do three more. But do you edit all, like, how many, how many specials do you, I mean, shows do you do?

• 8:53Speaker 06

  So the way I've always done it is you have your shows taped. They'll send you line cuts, right? Like of all four. Usually the one that you feel the best about is the best one. It becomes your hero show, like the baseline show. And then you go to like, all right, it's minute 22. It's my bit about spam or whatever you're talking about. And then you go.

• 9:19Bobby Lee?

  10 minutes on that, babe.

• 9:21Speaker 06

  You go, all right, I remember show three, it just hit right. So you'll edit in show three, but you'll keep your hero show show.

• 9:29Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 9:31Speaker 06

  But a great editor changes the fucking game. Just like in TV, film, like a great editor, I would hire an editor that has done so many specials because they do have a skill set for it. They know how to do it.

• 9:44Bobby Lee?

  What do you mean?

• 9:45Speaker 06

  You're gonna have an editor.

• 9:46Bobby Lee?

  Have a good editor?

• 9:47Speaker 03

  I think so, yeah.

• 9:48Bobby Lee?

  Who's editing? What?

• 9:49Speaker 04

  You have a great one.

• 9:50Bobby Lee?

  Who?

• 9:50Speaker 03

  They're gonna hire him.

• 9:51Speaker 04

  Yeah, he's good.

• 9:52Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, but who is it?

• 9:53Speaker 03

  He's the best.

• 9:54Speaker 06

  I got good recs. I got good recs if you want good recs.

• 9:56Bobby Lee?

  What's a recs mean?

• 9:59Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 10:01Bobby Lee?

  Recommendations.

• 10:02Speaker 03

  He knows people.

• 10:03Bobby Lee?

  He does know people. Yeah.

• 10:05Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 10:05Speaker 03

  Segura, he knows.

• 10:07Bobby Lee?

  How many recs do you have, dude?

• 10:08Speaker 06

  I've got a few.

• 10:09Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. But what, what rec would you, was number one the rec?

• 10:13Speaker 06

  I mean, I don't want to like blow up their spot.

• 10:15Bobby Lee?

  Okay, okay.

• 10:16Speaker 06

  Because you might not hire them. But I'll tell you, I'll tell you off mic, and then you can see what they've done and you feel like, all right. And you meet them and you just go.

• 10:24Bobby Lee?

  It's like in Star Wars, when they, when George Lucas first showed Star Wars to Scorsese, Brian De Palma, and Spielberg, they didn't like it.

• 10:34Speaker 06

  They're like, what the fuck is this?

• 10:35Bobby Lee?

  What the fuck is this? And then they hired, they edited it differently. They let the action dictate the edits. And it changed the whole thing.

• 10:43Speaker 06

  Have you ever heard those stories about when he would take the Star Wars script around? When George Lucas was like shopping the Star Wars script, and people were like, what the fuck is this? They're like, there's Chewbacca in his face. They're like, you're out of your goddamn mind, man.

• 10:59Bobby Lee?

  Because his peers were doing like legitimate, realistic, kind of like grounded work.

• 11:05Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 11:06Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, like, you know, um.

• 11:08Speaker 06

  And he's like, they're on Tatooine.

• 11:10Bobby Lee?

  Scarface?

• 11:10Speaker 06

  And then the Millennium Falcon's gonna come, and they're like, okay. Listen, whatever you've been smoking, knock it off. Try to write a real script and come back to us.

• 11:18Bobby Lee?

  I still heard people on set when they were shooting, especially like the Tatooine scenes, just extras or background actors go, this movie sucks, just out loud.

• 11:27Speaker 06

  Harrison Ford famously was like, hey, man, we can't say this shit. Like, he told them, he's like, deliver this line.

• 11:34Bobby Lee?

  Do you believe that that guy, you know Ramsey Badawi?

• 11:36Speaker 04

  Hey, what's going on, Tom?

• 11:37Speaker 06

  Ramsey Badawi.

• 11:39Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 11:39Speaker 04

  That's how you do it, Jaime.

• 11:40Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. And you, are you well aware of Tom Segura's?

• 11:44Speaker 04

  Yeah, very well aware.

• 11:45Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 11:45Speaker 04

  Huge fan, Tom.

• 11:46Speaker 06

  Thanks, buddy.

• 11:46Bobby Lee?

  And Ramsey's a stand-up, you know what I mean? Big, big, I'm paid regular.

• 11:50Speaker 06

  Yeah, congrats.

• 11:51Speaker 04

  Thank you very much.

• 11:52Speaker 06

  Congrats.

• 11:53Speaker 04

  I'm just waiting for it.

• 11:54Bobby Lee?

  Anyway, um, and Ramsey had never seen Star Wars.

• 11:58Speaker 06

  Until?

• 11:58Bobby Lee?

  The other day, we're on the road, and I go, I'm forcing you to watch the first half.

• 12:03Speaker 04

  1:30 in the morning, Bobby made me come to his room.

• 12:06Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 12:06Speaker 04

  And watch Star Wars on an iPad in his lap.

• 12:09Speaker 06

  Jesus Christ.

• 12:11Bobby Lee?

  A New Hope.

• 12:11Speaker 06

  That's your first experience?

• 12:13Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 12:14Speaker 04

  I was in my pajamas.

• 12:15Bobby Lee?

  He was in his pajamas.

• 12:16Speaker 06

  What did you think of the first?

• 12:18Speaker 04

  It's pretty good.

• 12:18Speaker 06

  Yeah, pretty good.

• 12:19Speaker 04

  I like what they're doing.

• 12:20Speaker 06

  I recommend a larger screen, maybe surround sound.

• 12:23Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah.

• 12:24Bobby Lee?

  He fucked it up by adding, putting in that CGI in there. Do you know that?

• 12:28Speaker 06

  The, on the re-release?

• 12:29Bobby Lee?

  The re-release is, yeah, yeah.

• 12:30Speaker 06

  I have, I don't know.

• 12:31Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, I don't like it. Yeah.

• 12:32Speaker 06

  They really, the movie, though, holds up so goddamn.

• 12:35Bobby Lee?

  It's so good!

• 12:37Speaker 06

  It's so good.

• 12:38Bobby Lee?

  It's a classic story about good and evil.

• 12:40Speaker 06

  My kids, they were refusing to watch it. Like, for the first, like, I was always like, oh, I'll show them all the shit that I think they'd like.

• 12:47Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 12:47Speaker 06

  No, no, I don't wanna see this. And then this summer, I got them to watch it. And it was so funny because we started in the order they were released.

• 12:56Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 12:56Speaker 06

  And they were dialed in, like, they were dialed in for New Hope, Empire, Jedi. And then when I got to, like, the newer ones, they'd get up and just walk around the room.

• 13:05Bobby Lee?

  Because they're not as good.

• 13:06Speaker 06

  They're not as good.

• 13:07Bobby Lee?

  Right?

• 13:07Speaker 06

  They're not as good.

• 13:08Bobby Lee?

  They're not as good.

• 13:09Speaker 06

  Although a lot of the stuff that... That they started putting out like these series that they put out.

• 13:13Bobby Lee?

  Mandalorians.

• 13:14Speaker 06

  It's fantastic.

• 13:14Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, very good. Yeah, yeah, very fantastic, yeah.

• 13:17Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 13:17Bobby Lee?

  You've seen them all those two?

• 13:18Speaker 06

  I've not seen them all, but I did, I ate up Mandalorian.

• 13:21Bobby Lee?

  You ate it up.

• 13:22Speaker 06

  I ate up.

• 13:22Bobby Lee?

  Billy Burr's in it.

• 13:23Speaker 06

  Yeah. Billy Burr is in it. He's great.

• 13:25Bobby Lee?

  He's great, great actor.

• 13:26Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 13:27Bobby Lee?

  Fine man.

• 13:27Speaker 06

  Fine man.

• 13:28Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 13:28Speaker 06

  Great pilot.

  Um, yeah. I am busy with the TV show.

  Uh, and thank you for doing it last season. You did it.

• 14:10Bobby Lee?

  I had a really good time doing it.

• 14:12Speaker 06

  That was really fun.

• 14:12Bobby Lee?

  That was a, um, fun experience. You know, it's fun that my successful friends invite me to do things and, uh...

• 14:19Speaker 06

  You're a successful guy, though. Why do you always act like you're not successful?

• 14:23Bobby Lee?

  I didn't say that. What did I say?

• 14:25Speaker 06

  I'm just saying, you always, you...

• 14:27Bobby Lee?

  Tommy, Tommy.

• 14:27Speaker 06

  You imply, though. You imply that it, there's a difference. You're...

• 14:31Bobby Lee?

  I mean, obvious, okay.

• 14:33Speaker 06

  Here we go.

• 14:35Bobby Lee?

  I mean, obviously, things are going good.

• 14:38Speaker 06

  Okay, good.

• 14:38Bobby Lee?

  Alright?

• 14:39Speaker 06

  Okay.

• 14:39Bobby Lee?

  I have eyeballs, feelings, you know what I mean? I'm adapted to the environment.

• 14:43Speaker 06

  I like the way you do your index fingers.

• 14:46Bobby Lee?

  Like this?

• 14:46Speaker 06

  Yeah. No, I didn't mean that.

• 14:49Bobby Lee?

  Not what you meant? Yeah, I do that.

• 14:50Speaker 06

  It's just the shape of your...

• 14:52Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I do it, you know?

• 14:53Speaker 06

  Yeah, that, that.

• 14:53Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

  Good.

  Yeah. And so, what are you doing?

  And sign up for an account.

• 15:03Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. You know what's so funny about your backdrop drop, right? It's so simple. I, you know, I made mine too elaborate, I think.

• 15:11Speaker 06

  How elaborate was it?

• 15:12Bobby Lee?

  It's pretty elaborate, like a set design.

• 15:14Speaker 06

  You did do set design?

• 15:15Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. Yeah.

• 15:16Speaker 06

  Oh, he did set design.

• 15:17Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I did set design.

• 15:19Speaker 06

  When, last week when you said that, I thought it was a bit.

• 15:21Bobby Lee?

  No.

• 15:21Speaker 06

  It wasn't a bit.

• 15:21Bobby Lee?

  No.

• 15:22Speaker 06

  What, what was it?

• 15:23Bobby Lee?

  I spent all my money on set design.

• 15:24Speaker 06

  How, what is it?

• 15:25Bobby Lee?

  What? Well, there's, you know, I mean, a unicorn in it? No, I'm kidding. No, it's, it's a forest.

• 15:30Speaker 06

  It's a forest.

• 15:31Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. But there's like layers, dimension, you saw it, right? Dimensionals to it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 15:35Speaker 05

  Who gets to keep that?

• 15:36Bobby Lee?

  What's that?

• 15:37Speaker 05

  Who gets to keep the, the forest?

• 15:39Speaker 00

  We're getting a piece.

• 15:40Bobby Lee?

  It's in a dumpster right now. What are you talking about?

• 15:41Speaker 00

  We're getting a piece sent here.

• 15:42Speaker 05

  No, we have to keep it somewhere.

• 15:44Bobby Lee?

  Really?

• 15:44Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 15:45Speaker 06

  Did you go to the taping?

• 15:46Speaker 05

  I was around. I went to rehearsals.

• 15:48Speaker 00

  She was the onstand my doctor.

• 15:49Speaker 05

  I was his doctor, because he lost his voice.

• 15:52Bobby Lee?

  This is what happened. So Friday, second show, I get off, and I go, "I can't talk." It was gone.

• 15:57Speaker 06

  Because you were like...

• 15:58Bobby Lee?

  I blew it out.

• 15:59Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 16:00Bobby Lee?

  I fucking blew it out, Tommy.

• 16:01Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 16:01Bobby Lee?

  Right? Can I call you Tommy?

• 16:04Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 16:04Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because lately, I've been calling you Tommy.

• 16:07Speaker 06

  I like it.

• 16:07Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, all right, all right. Do, do you let everyone call you Tommy?

• 16:10Speaker 06

  It's usually friends and family.

• 16:11Bobby Lee?

  All right, I got it. All right.

• 16:12Speaker 03

  Can I call you Tommy?

• 16:13Speaker 06

  No, Jaime.

• 16:16Bobby Lee?

  Absolutely not, dude. It's like when people call me Bob.

• 16:20Speaker 00

  Robert.

• 16:21Bobby Lee?

  Only, certain people can call me Bob. What do you call me?

• 16:25Speaker 06

  I usually say Bobby.

• 16:26Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, you do, yeah. Standard. But you know what? I'm, I'm allowing you and giving you the opportunity to call me whatever you want. That's, I think, that's how deep our relationship goes now, where you can go, you can go Robert, Bob, Babo, you know what I mean? Babaloo, Babaloo, whatever you want to say.

• 16:40Speaker 03

  Can I call you Chino?

• 16:41Bobby Lee?

  You can call me Chino, you can call me Chino, Chinese guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I blew out my voice Friday, second show.

• 16:46Speaker 03

  Can I call you S? Oh, Tom, Tom S? Tom. Tom S, that's good.

• 16:52Speaker 06

  You're interrupting the fucking story.

• 16:53Speaker 03

  Oh, I'm trying to figure out. Tom S, Mr. S. Why don't you put like an S right here on your chest?

• 16:59Bobby Lee?

  Look at Bobby's face, Jaime. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

• 17:04Speaker 00

  Hit or miss.

• 17:05Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, sometimes he's on, sometimes, wow, where are we? What are we doing, you know? So, um, blew it out. I was in a panic, Tommy, okay? I call her, you know what I mean? I go, "I don't know what to do." And Saturday was 911, just people in my hotel room giving me stuff. And you know what we did?

• 17:25Speaker 06

  What?

• 17:27Bobby Lee?

  Steroids.

• 17:28Speaker 06

  And it worked.

• 17:29Bobby Lee?

  It fucking worked.

• 17:30Speaker 06

  Aren't steroids the best?

• 17:32Bobby Lee?

  They're the best, dude.

• 17:33Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 17:33Bobby Lee?

  I'm a big story fanatic.

• 17:38Bobby Lee?

  I'm up on it.

• 17:40Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 17:40Bobby Lee?

  In fact, you know what, I'm really, if I took more steroids to work out, would you be opposed to that?

• 17:46Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 17:46Bobby Lee?

  Why?

• 17:47Speaker 05

  Your organs will eventually shut.

• 17:49Bobby Lee?

  They're already shut. That's the thing about my organs.

• 17:51Speaker 06

  Way in the future.

• 17:52Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 17:52Speaker 06

  We should do, get, get Anavar, get Winstral.

• 17:55Speaker 05

  Anavar? Winstral? Those are the old school hits, Deca.

• 18:00Bobby Lee?

  Anavar?

• 18:01Speaker 06

  Anavar, Winstral, Deca.

• 18:02Bobby Lee?

  Deca. What does that do?

• 18:03Speaker 06

  It's just a stack. You're gonna be, you're gonna be.

• 18:06Bobby Lee?

  I'm gonna stack it up.

• 18:06Speaker 06

  You're tight.

• 18:07Bobby Lee?

  Do you take?

• 18:08Speaker 06

  Huh?

• 18:08Bobby Lee?

  Cause you're hip fit now. You tight, you take?

• 18:10Speaker 06

  I want it.

• 18:11Bobby Lee?

  No, but you take?

• 18:11Speaker 06

  No.

• 18:12Bobby Lee?

  You take nothing?

• 18:13Speaker 06

  Nothing right now. No, T R T?

• 18:14Bobby Lee?

  I take T.

• 18:14Speaker 06

  T's good.

• 18:15Bobby Lee?

  And let me, can I ask you another private question, if I may?

• 18:17Speaker 06

  Yeah. On a podcast?

• 18:19Bobby Lee?

  On a podcast. We can edit it out, right, right.

• 18:23Speaker 06

  Social Security number?

• 18:23Bobby Lee?

  No, you, you've lost a lot of weight since, for the last three or four years.

• 18:28Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 18:28Bobby Lee?

  You've been doing it naturally?

• 18:29Speaker 06

  Yes. I have. I eat more than anybody like that is losing weight. I eat four times a day.

• 18:36Bobby Lee?

  You're not doing injections?

• 18:37Speaker 06

  No, not doing GLP ones, no.

• 18:39Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 18:40Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 18:40Bobby Lee?

  So it's discipline?

• 18:42Speaker 06

  Yeah, it's, it's consistency.

• 18:44Bobby Lee?

  Oh, it's consistency?

• 18:45Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 18:46Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 18:46Speaker 06

  I try to eat 50 grams of protein at every meal. Damn.

• 18:49Bobby Lee?

  50, is that a lot?

• 18:50Speaker 05

  That's a lot.

• 18:51Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, okay, so a lot of meat?

• 18:53Speaker 06

  I mean, chicken, fish, meat, eggs, yeah.

• 18:56Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 19:09Speaker 05

  Guys, it's a new year.

• 19:10Bobby Lee?

  It's a new year, and I'm thinking about new things to sell online.

• 19:13Speaker 05

  Like what?

• 19:14Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, like, um, my own, um, clothing line.

• 19:18Speaker 05

  Ooh, fancy.

• 19:20Speaker 06

  What would you call it?

• 19:20Bobby Lee?

  Hobo 2000.

• 19:21Speaker 05

  How about Levi?

• 19:25Bobby Lee?

  That's a very good idea. Very good idea.

• 19:27Speaker 05

  I mean, there's only really one.

• 19:29Bobby Lee?

  One way to do it.

• 19:30Speaker 05

  One way to do it, Netshop.

  That's, I'm way heavier. Even on the right there, I'm way heavier.

• 20:57Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. Look at the left.

• 20:58Speaker 06

  That's 2,000. You know when that was? The time that I gave you the ride. That's then. Remember I gave you the ride?

• 21:04Bobby Lee?

  Oh, that's right. That was then.

• 21:05Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 21:06Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 21:06Speaker 06

  That's about 265.

• 21:08Bobby Lee?

  That's how much you weighed?

• 21:09Speaker 06

  In there. And I weigh 1, like 187, 188.

• 21:12Bobby Lee?

  And Christina still had sex with you then?

• 21:13Speaker 06

  Just barely.

• 21:14Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 21:17Speaker 06

  That was good.

• 21:17Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. Now look. Wow. And look at you now. Amazing.

• 21:21Speaker 03

  What do you think about me? Good-looking man.

• 21:24Bobby Lee?

  You think he's good-looking?

• 21:25Speaker 03

  For a fit guy, for how old are you?

• 21:27Speaker 06

  I'm 46, man.

• 21:29Speaker 03

  Oh, damn.

• 21:30Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. We're all up there now.

• 21:32Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 21:32Bobby Lee?

  Do you look at me like you're elder?

• 21:34Speaker 06

  Do I?

• 21:35Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I ask you.

• 21:37Speaker 06

  I thought you were asking him.

• 21:38Bobby Lee?

  You?

• 21:38Speaker 03

  You did look at me. I mean, you are older than me, so yeah.

• 21:41Bobby Lee?

  See what that means?

• 21:42Speaker 03

  Mentor.

• 21:43Bobby Lee?

  Okay.

• 21:44Speaker 06

  Mentor, that's nice.

• 21:45Speaker 03

  My Obi-Wan Kenobi?

• 21:46Bobby Lee?

  He always...

• 21:49Bobby Lee?

  It's always a question.

• 21:50Speaker 06

  Talking directly to your.

• 21:51Bobby Lee?

  Because are you not sure?

• 21:54Speaker 03

  Yeah, I was looking at Tom for reference.

• 21:56Speaker 06

  Oh, yeah.

• 21:56Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 21:56Speaker 06

  Obi-Wan Kenobi.

• 21:57Speaker 03

  Obi-Wan Kenobi.

• 21:58Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm your Obi-Wan Kenobi. And you're Luke Skywalker?

• 22:02Speaker 03

  No.

• 22:04Bobby Lee?

  Jawah.

• 22:06Speaker 03

  Can I do the little teddy bears walkies or whatever?

• 22:09Bobby Lee?

  Ewoks.

• 22:09Speaker 03

  Ewoks.

• 22:10Bobby Lee?

  Ewoks. Oh, yeah, you, right, in the, in the Star Wars world, Star Wars world, you'd be an Ewok. Yeah. I think more Jawah.

• 22:18Speaker 03

  Oh, Jar Jar?

• 22:20Bobby Lee?

  No. Yeah, what do you think? Anyway, let's, we can move on. That, yeah. But then I did the steroids and second show, it was just fucking perfect. And then.

• 22:29Speaker 06

  That's awesome, dude. I'm happy for you.

• 22:31Bobby Lee?

  Here's the thing, though, Tommy.

• 22:32Speaker 06

  What?

• 22:34Bobby Lee?

  You know, people, I've had this situation happen.

• 22:38Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 22:39Bobby Lee?

  Where people go, I saw you in this movie, you were great, that movie I haven't seen that was in, or whatever.

• 22:44Speaker 06

  Mm-hmm.

• 22:44Bobby Lee?

  And then I watch it and it's not great. So then you don't trust people's opinions.

• 22:48Speaker 06

  Wait, because the movie's not great?

• 22:49Bobby Lee?

  No, because I, I look at it and I go, I wasn't good in that.

• 22:52Speaker 06

  Uh, but that's skewed.

• 22:53Bobby Lee?

  It's not skewed. I legitimately wasn't good at that.

• 22:56Speaker 06

  And they go.

• 22:56Bobby Lee?

  I'm looking in the camera, I'm stuttering my words. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 22:58Speaker 06

  But is it somebody, is it like showbiz people or is it, or is it a friend?

• 23:03Bobby Lee?

  Anybody, like, I don't trust sometimes the people around me. So when I got offstage and people were like, that's it, you did it, right?

• 23:10Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 23:10Bobby Lee?

  There's always a little bit of me like, you sure?

• 23:13Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 23:14Bobby Lee?

  Do you do that or no?

• 23:15Speaker 06

  Of course.

• 23:15Bobby Lee?

  You do that, right?

• 23:16Speaker 06

  Of course.

• 23:17Bobby Lee?

  Because people are.

• 23:18Speaker 06

  Full of shit.

• 23:19Bobby Lee?

  Full of shit.

• 23:19Speaker 06

  Yes.

• 23:20Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 23:20Speaker 06

  I also don't trust, like, you know, I don't like when somebody gives me like a physique compliment.

• 23:26Speaker 06

  I don't trust them.

• 23:27Bobby Lee?

  Like what I did earlier?

• 23:28Speaker 06

  No, no, no. Like, when somebody goes like, you look better than you used to look. That's normal.

• 23:35Bobby Lee?

  Oh, yeah.

• 23:36Speaker 06

  When they try to like gas me up, like, I'm like, they're like, wow.

• 23:39Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 23:40Speaker 06

  Like, you're, I'm like, what are you talking about, bro?

• 23:41Bobby Lee?

  You look like Henry Cavill.

• 23:42Speaker 06

  Like.

• 23:42Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Get the fuck out of here.

• 23:44Speaker 06

  I don't trust them.

• 23:45Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 23:45Speaker 06

  I don't trust them.

• 23:46Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. I don't trust that, yeah. And for the rest of your life, you don't trust them.

• 23:49Speaker 06

  Exactly.

• 23:50Bobby Lee?

  For the rest of their life.

• 23:51Speaker 06

  And the, and the tapings, it bothers me too.

• 23:54Bobby Lee?

  Tell me why, because I'm feeling the same thing.

• 23:55Speaker 06

  Okay, so I, I was like talking about this on the one that I taped. Is that I taped, this time I taped three shows. First one, like you said, I think for yours, the first one to me felt great. And I always think you as the person performing, you actually know truly the nuances of when it's good, when it's decent, when it sucks, like you just know. You're the one that has reference to all the shows. That's why you can do a show somewhere.

• 24:22Bobby Lee?

  Cause we're there.

• 24:23Speaker 06

  Yeah, but you can do a show somewhere, like you could book your show, let's say you're in San Antonio. And you walk off stage and you're like, that show sucked.

• 24:30Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 24:31Speaker 06

  And someone's like, great show. They, it might be a great show to them.

• 24:36Bobby Lee?

  Exactly.

• 24:36Speaker 06

  Because they saw one show this year.

• 24:38Bobby Lee?

  Right.

• 24:38Speaker 06

  You know, the show sucked.

• 24:39Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 24:41Speaker 06

  But in the tapings, when someone's there for all the shows. And they're like, oh, that third show's the one. And you're like, what the fuck are you talking about? Like.

• 24:49Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 24:49Speaker 06

  We just did three other, we did two other shows.

• 24:52Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, and you said that about the other ones too.

• 24:53Speaker 06

  And you know that the other show was better. And they're like, no, I like this one. You're like.

• 24:57Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 24:57Speaker 06

  I start to go.

• 24:59Bobby Lee?

  I do, I, I, wait, this is me. Me too.

• 25:04Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 25:05Bobby Lee?

  I do that too.

• 25:07Speaker 06

  What the fuck are you talking about?

• 25:08Bobby Lee?

  What are you talking about Willis?

• 25:09Speaker 06

  Yeah. You even say the Willis thing?

• 25:11Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, because I'm a Different Strokes fan. And I really miss Emmanuel Lewis.

• 25:15Speaker 06

  Do you remember that show?

• 25:16Bobby Lee?

  Gary Coleman.

• 25:16Speaker 06

  You do? You know that show?

• 25:17Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. Yeah.

• 25:18Speaker 06

  What you talking about Willis?

• 25:20Bobby Lee?

  Wow, wow. That's amazing.

• 25:22Speaker 06

  And you didn't even question it.

• 25:24Bobby Lee?

  Nope.

• 25:27Speaker 06

  You didn't know, what you talking about Willis?

• 25:28Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. You didn't do that. Yeah. So let's be honest now, that being said, in the room, what'd you guys think now?

• 25:35Speaker 06

  I'll do one for me.

• 25:37Bobby Lee?

  One for you.

• 25:38Speaker 04

  I liked one and four.

• 25:39Bobby Lee?

  One and four.

• 25:39Speaker 06

  I would say.

• 25:40Speaker 04

  One was killer, but four felt like Bobby at the Comedy Store.

• 25:43Bobby Lee?

  Okay, George.

• 25:44Speaker 04

  Same, one and four.

• 25:45Bobby Lee?

  One and four.

• 25:46Speaker 06

  I, I would trust the fact that they're talking about those two shows. I bet, I bet your special's gonna be a mix of those two shows.

• 25:53Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 25:54Speaker 06

  But it's, it's gonna be, what do you want your hero show to be? Is it gonna be one out of the gate, whatever that fire was? Or are you gonna want the feeling of it's me at the Comedy Store?

• 26:06Bobby Lee?

  At the end of the day, I'm just gonna let them do it.

• 26:09Speaker 06

  Yeah? Have your editor telling you, man.

• 26:11Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I'm just gonna let them do it and then I'll just, because even if it's like the best, I'll look at it in such negative context, my eyes.

• 26:19Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 26:20Bobby Lee?

  You know, that's the thing, I wanna feel better about what I do. That's, I, I, that's, I think that's what we're getting at here. It's just like, I wanna be comfortable enough with myself to go, you know what? Things are great, that was good, this and that. But I have such a critical lens on top, with me.

• 26:37Speaker 06

  That's good, though.

• 26:38Bobby Lee?

  You think that's a good thing?

• 26:39Speaker 06

  I think a, uh, some of it is.

• 26:41Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 26:41Speaker 06

  I mean, every comic that I know that's very pleased with themselves is not very good.

• 26:47Bobby Lee?

  I, I, right.

• 26:48Speaker 06

  I think we all have to have.

• 26:49Bobby Lee?

  Now, are you, uh, uh, let's say I'm an open mic'er.

• 26:52Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 26:52Bobby Lee?

  Right, and you, you just happened to be, see me at the mothership or whatever.

• 26:55Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 26:56Bobby Lee?

  And I don't do very good.

• 26:57Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 26:58Bobby Lee?

  But I come up to you and go, hey, man, what'd you think? Are you honest with that person? Let's do it right now. Hey, Tommy Segura, right?

• 27:04Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 27:05Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, what's up, man?

• 27:06Speaker 06

  What's up?

• 27:07Bobby Lee?

  Love Teacher, dude.

  Oh, thanks, man.

  Yeah, yeah, anyway, yeah, uh, I just did a spot, man. I thought I rocked it, what do you think?

• 27:22Speaker 06

  I was, I wouldn't even, I just wa, I just got here.

• 27:25Bobby Lee?

  Oh, you would lie, that you didn't see it?

• 27:27Speaker 06

  How bad is their, how bad was their set?

• 27:29Bobby Lee?

  Pretty bad.

• 27:30Speaker 06

  Pretty bad?

• 27:31Bobby Lee?

  Like, the guy before was, you know what I mean? Did a really pretty good job, an average job, had good laughs, right? It was kinda, maybe he got a pop on one thing.

• 27:40Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 27:40Bobby Lee?

  But pretty much it was dead zone.

• 27:42Speaker 06

  Okay.

• 27:43Bobby Lee?

  But he's like, Tommy, killed it.

• 27:47Speaker 06

  Yeah, well, you got great stage presence, man.

• 27:51Bobby Lee?

  Lie, you lie then.

• 27:52Speaker 06

  Well, I don't.

• 27:53Bobby Lee?

  That's a lie!

• 27:54Speaker 06

  I can't, I can't crush.

• 27:55Bobby Lee?

  Crush him.

• 27:55Speaker 06

  I can't crush.

• 27:56Bobby Lee?

  Clarity is kindness.

• 27:58Speaker 06

  I know, but I can't crush.

• 27:59Bobby Lee?

  Ally Wong told me that. Clare, right? I like it. Yeah.

• 28:02Speaker 06

  Yeah, but she's.

• 28:02Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, I know, I mean, right.

• 28:03Speaker 06

  Ally's a savage.

• 28:05Bobby Lee?

  I know she is, I know, I, I, I know. Clarity is kindness.

• 28:08Speaker 06

  I can't, you're gonna smash an open mic'er who's like?

• 28:11Bobby Lee?

  Well, I've been doing it for five years, so I don't, wouldn't even consider myself an open mic'er. Ooh.

• 28:15Speaker 06

  I mean, have they had this kinda attitude?

• 28:17Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I also called you Tommy three times, I don't even know you.

• 28:22Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 28:22Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, Tommy S., what's up?

• 28:24Speaker 06

  All right, get back on the horse, man, you know?

• 28:26Bobby Lee?

  But you think I have a future?

• 28:28Speaker 06

  Five years?

• 28:30Bobby Lee?

  Five more years? No, I've already been doing five years.

• 28:32Speaker 06

  Right, five more.

• 28:32Bobby Lee?

  What are you, deaf, Tommy S.?

• 28:34Speaker 06

  I'm telling you.

• 28:34Bobby Lee?

  Oh, hard, he's crazy. Crazy.

• 28:39Speaker 06

  Do five more years.

• 28:41Bobby Lee?

  Really?

• 28:41Speaker 06

  Yeah, but keep doing, keep coming back. You'll get it, still hopeful.

• 28:46Bobby Lee?

  I'll tell you my argument against that.

• 28:47Speaker 06

  Okay. You're like, hey, quit.

• 28:51Bobby Lee?

  No, I would just say, wait, yo, how long you been doing it?

• 28:55Speaker 06

  Five years.

• 28:55Bobby Lee?

  Five years. And you thought you killed?

• 28:59Speaker 06

  Yeah, that's, I know where you're going.

• 29:01Bobby Lee?

  I would ask them.

• 29:02Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 29:02Bobby Lee?

  You thought you killed?

• 29:03Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 29:04Bobby Lee?

  Five years in.

• 29:05Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 29:05Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, get an ear, dude.

• 29:09Speaker 06

  I have two ears.

• 29:10Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, well then, turn them on. Turn your ears on, because what I saw was death. You know what I mean? Death by jokes.

• 29:20Speaker 06

  Wow.

• 29:21Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. And I'll tell you another thing, guy, right?

• 29:25Speaker 06

• 30:26Bobby Lee?

  Oh, five years?

• 30:27Speaker 06

  That's kinda hard.

• 30:28Bobby Lee?

  No, that's too harsh?

• 30:29Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 30:34Speaker 06

  Can I ask you this? You've done Kill Tony, right?

• 30:36Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 30:36Speaker 06

  Do you, do you enjoy, or does it make you nervous to tell them how they're doing?

• 30:42Bobby Lee?

  No, it makes me, obviously, I'm not like this.

• 30:45Speaker 06

  Yeah, I know.

• 30:46Bobby Lee?

  I'm worse than you.

• 30:47Speaker 06

  I get.

• 30:48Bobby Lee?

  Oh, you're gonna make it. That's me. Yeah, you're gonna make it in two years, bud.

• 30:53Speaker 06

  I get uncomfortable.

• 30:54Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 30:55Speaker 06

  Well, here's the thing, but you actually made a, you made a good point. When they're kind of like, hey, and, and it's bad.

• 31:02Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 31:02Speaker 06

  I can't be like, hey, you suck. When they have a bad one and they have attitude.

• 31:07Bobby Lee?

  Mmm.

• 31:08Speaker 06

  It's easier to like, but even then, I still am like, I'm not that comfortable like.

• 31:12Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 31:12Speaker 06

  Shitting on them.

• 31:14Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 31:14Speaker 06

  Super hard.

• 31:15Bobby Lee?

  But my argument is this, Tommy.

• 31:16Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 31:17Bobby Lee?

  Okay, is that stage time is valuable.

• 31:21Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 31:22Bobby Lee?

  And if you don't have it after about five, 10 years.

• 31:25Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 31:26Bobby Lee?

  And you're still doing it, you're kind of hogging up this time for some young kid that can be up there.

• 31:31Speaker 06

  I mean, I think you're right. I think more than that, it's about that person's own time. Like, I remember seeing one, one time who was at an open mic and they were, afterwards, it was like, I'm 15 years in. And it was like, you're 15 years in right now. This is insane.

• 31:49Bobby Lee?

  I know.

• 31:50Speaker 06

  You know?

• 31:50Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, but do you have to be nice?

• 31:52Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 31:52Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 31:53Speaker 06

  But also, is it our responsibility to manage that for anybody else? Like, you fucking figure it out, man.

• 31:59Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. But David Letterman once said, right, that when a young comic comes up to him and says, um, I'm thinking about doing stand-up. He always goes, don't, you're never gonna, it's gonna be difficult. It's difficult to make it. Don't ever do it. The reason why he says that is because a comic will still go up after that.

• 32:17Speaker 06

  He's right.

• 32:18Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 32:18Speaker 06

  He's right.

• 32:19Bobby Lee?

  A comic will still go, you know what? Fuck you. I'll prove you wrong. And we'll go up there.

• 32:23Speaker 06

  That is true, because you were told that, I'm sure, too, right? Like, somebody told you.

• 32:26Bobby Lee?

  Oh, my God. The local scene in San Diego, right, to me, now, I've heard other stories about how I was, right?

• 32:38Bobby Lee?

  I've heard stories about how I was, but from my perspective.

• 32:41Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 32:42Bobby Lee?

  They weren't supportive of me.

• 32:43Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 32:44Bobby Lee?

  They were rooting for that.

• 32:46Speaker 06

  Ah.

• 32:47Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, so that and I started in the same couple of years, right?

• 32:50Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 32:50Bobby Lee?

  And when that came along, that fan, right?

• 32:52Speaker 06

  Everybody was like, there's two of them?

• 32:54Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I know, this is the same. Where's our, it's an Asian clown car? We're growing them, we're growing them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 33:00Speaker 06

  There can't be two.

• 33:01Bobby Lee?

  It can't be two, right? It was like two, one too many. It was one too many. Anyway, and so he was sort of like the Harvey Dent, like the saving grace. You know, because I was so weird and they were like, so all the locals liked him. And they just didn't like me that. What's this?

• 33:18Speaker 06

  Yeah, you guys reconnected that.

• 33:19Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 33:19Speaker 06

  Holy shit, there's three of them.

• 33:22Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, like gremlins. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, so that, that, wow, look at that photo. Me, Jimmy and Dad. Now, there's a lot and I, and I support it, but, um. So, you know, I, I, but I just didn't get a lot of, did you get support when you started?

• 33:39Speaker 06

  From like other comedians?

• 33:40Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, like, well, you started in LA?

• 33:42Speaker 06

  I started in LA.

• 33:43Bobby Lee?

  Oh, that's the toughest place to start.

• 33:44Speaker 06

  It's a tough place to start, but I was unaware that it's tough to start. Do you know what I mean?

• 33:47Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 33:48Speaker 06

  If you don't know, you, you don't know.

• 33:50Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, you don't know.

• 33:50Speaker 06

  I, I didn't, I didn't really know, I mean. No, I mean, I can't really say that. People were any, any which way about it because. I went to the store a couple of times, I didn't go to the store much, I would go to the improv.

• 34:03Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 34:03Speaker 06

  Improv. Had a scene where like, I don't know, I felt like you could get more on these book shows. And I was doing all the bringers around town, all those things. They also booked me as an MC, like, pretty early on. And so I just started to work like that, but I mean. I can't, I, I don't really feel like I had like. A lot of support or anybody like. Putting me down.

• 34:25Bobby Lee?

  So there was no names on a list?

• 34:28Speaker 06

  Uh, oh, no name shows?

• 34:29Bobby Lee?

  No, no, you, you, you didn't have names like, this fucker was mean to me, I'm gonna get revenge.

• 34:34Speaker 06

  Not.

• 34:35Bobby Lee?

  Cause you have a Ralph, I mean, not Ralph, me and Ramsey have that.

• 34:37Speaker 06

  Oh, yeah.

• 34:38Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 34:38Speaker 04

  Who's on your list again?

• 34:40Bobby Lee?

  I don't wanna say it out loud.

• 34:41Speaker 06

  Do you have?

• 34:42Speaker 04

  Oh, yeah, there's some good ones on there.

• 34:44Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, oh, I have a list.

• 34:45Speaker 06

  You have a list?

• 34:46Bobby Lee?

  I'm Korean. And Koreans all have lists.

• 34:49Speaker 06

  Really?

• 34:50Speaker 04

  Organized.

• 34:50Bobby Lee?

  It's organized list.

• 34:51Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 34:52Bobby Lee?

  Alphabetically.

• 34:53Speaker 06

  Alphabetically.

• 34:54Bobby Lee?

  Now, let me say something, okay? My revenge. It's not something that I would outwardly do.

• 35:00Speaker 06

  It's just.

• 35:01Bobby Lee?

  My revenge, no, but there's always like a little thing that I do. Not outward.

• 35:05Speaker 06

  Can I ask you something about this list, though?

• 35:07Bobby Lee?

  Tell me.

• 35:08Speaker 06

  Are the people on the list? Working now, like, are they? Oh, yeah. Really? Oh, yeah. And they're cunts.

• 35:17Bobby Lee?

  They're not cunts. It's just a little bit like, really?

• 35:19Speaker 06

  Did they get what? How was? Was their thing like a slight, like a personal slight?

• 35:22Bobby Lee?

  It's a slight. It's a little slight.

• 35:25Speaker 06

  I do remember one time I, I, this isn't like a, this wasn't a comedian, really. This was a writer. So I was on a writing staff, but for, you know, when they do pilots, they hire you for like a few weeks. You go to a writer's room. And I remember I was talking to one of the writers. He was a higher up guy and, and he was like, um, talking about like the next thing. I was like, well, I'm gonna go, you know, do some gigs. I was a middle act.

• 35:48Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 35:48Speaker 06

  And he was like, what are you doing? And I go, what? He goes, you think you're gonna be a comedian, like actually make a living? And I go, I mean, that's what I'm doing. He goes, no. Like you're, uh, I don't remember his name.

• 36:02Bobby Lee?

  Oh, fuck. You always have to get the name, Tommy.

• 36:05Speaker 06

  I mean, I could find his name, but also what would I tell him? Like, what would I tell him? Hey, man, worked out.

• 36:11Bobby Lee?

  That's the revenge.

• 36:12Speaker 06

  But that's what I'm saying. You don't have to say it. They, he knows.

• 36:14Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 36:15Speaker 06

  That guy fucking knows.

• 36:15Bobby Lee?

  No, I have to be in the room when he knows.

• 36:18Speaker 06

  Oh, when this guy knows?

• 36:19Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. Or these people.

• 36:20Speaker 06

  But, but you don't.

• 36:21Bobby Lee?

  This guy. Long list. There's forty people on the list. One of these forty people.

• 36:24Speaker 06

  But don't you think the people on your list, they all are like, worked out for Bobby Lee? Shit, man.

• 36:28Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, but I still have to go.

• 36:30Speaker 06

  Oh, you wanna gloat?

• 36:31Bobby Lee?

  Not to gloat. That's not me gloating.

• 36:33Speaker 06

  Okay, just.

• 36:34Bobby Lee?

  No, what's up, man? You good?

• 36:36Speaker 06

  Have you not run into any of these?

• 36:38Bobby Lee?

  I have.

• 36:38Speaker 06

  And how does it go?

• 36:40Bobby Lee?

  Well, let me just say this. Like many lists, there's crosses. I've crossed some names off.

• 36:44Speaker 06

  Oh, you've crossed some names off.

• 36:45Bobby Lee?

  Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 36:46Speaker 04

  Do you forgive them when the, when the list, when you cross them off? Is it a forgiveness thing?

• 36:50Speaker 06

  You gotta after the list.

• 36:51Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, I do. You know, be honest with you, though, I say.

• 36:54Speaker 06

  Do you love when some of them, like some bad happens to one of them?

• 36:57Bobby Lee?

  Like. What do you mean?

• 36:59Speaker 06

  Well, like when you hear like.

• 37:00Bobby Lee?

  Oh, stage four?

• 37:03Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 37:05Speaker 06

  Stage four, he's filed for bankruptcy.

• 37:08Bobby Lee?

  No, no, no, no, no.

• 37:09Speaker 06

  You don't get off on that.

• 37:10Bobby Lee?

  No, no, no. I mean, I actually, the opposite occurs. There's this guilt. It's always a guilt, because there was one recently that, um, god, there was this guy, and he, he just didn't like me for some reason. And the reason why he didn't like me is because, um, I was starting in San Diego. I'll just tell you what it, I'll tell you what. And I was starting, I was doing stand-up in San Diego, and there was another guy much like me. You know what I mean? But he'd been there longer, and I was an open mic'er. And then one day, I was at open mic, and this lady came up to me, and she goes, "You're good enough, can you do TV?" And I go, "What do you mean? I'm an open mic'er." And she's like, "I book a TV show.

• 37:54Bobby Lee?

  It's called Make Me Laugh. And I think you can do it." So I drove all the way to LA from San Diego, right? And then, you know what that show is?

• 38:02Speaker 06

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 38:03Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, a contestant goes out, like, just a regular person, and there's three comics, and he chooses a comic, and then we try to make him laugh within a minute. And I kept getting asked. Which means I was burning through material.

• 38:15Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 38:16Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, so by the third one, or fourth one, it was this show, Make Me Laugh.

• 38:21Speaker 06

  This is from like 1963.

• 38:24Bobby Lee?

  I know. There's a, there's a 90's version of the comedy.

• 38:27Speaker 06

  Bobby's old.

• 38:28Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, what do you think?

• 38:29Speaker 06

  It's like Dean Martin.

• 38:31Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Joan Rivers and I.

• 38:37Bobby Lee?

  No, it was so, um, by the third and fourth time they called, I was, I remember being, standing there on TV going, "I just ran out of my last joke." And hopefully they don't ask me again, and they asked me. So I, I quickly took this other guy's joke.

• 38:53Speaker 05

  Oh.

• 38:54Bobby Lee?

  And changed it, right?

• 38:56Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 38:56Bobby Lee?

  And I did it, and it got them to laugh.

• 38:59Speaker 06

  Mm-hmm.

• 39:00Bobby Lee?

  And then the guilt.

• 39:01Speaker 06

  Yeah, that makes, like, that makes sense.

• 39:03Bobby Lee?

  Right?

• 39:03Speaker 06

  Yeah, but it's also like, for somebody in stand-up, like, you understand why somebody at that time and place would do that.

• 39:11Bobby Lee?

  Exactly, exactly.

• 39:12Speaker 06

  Did he come after you?

• 39:14Bobby Lee?

  Worse. So, um, I drive all the way back to San Diego, and I, I go to a club, and I see him, I rock right up to him, I go, I explain to him like, you know, I just didn't, I was desperate, and I did one of your premises, I mean, I changed it. You know what I mean? And he goes, "Thief." And he never liked me since then. He never talked to me again.

• 39:37Speaker 06

  I can understand the anger at the time, even to today?

• 39:40Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, even till this day. Well, no, because he died. That's what I'm talking about. No, no, no, no, no. So.

• 39:47Speaker 06

  Well, can we say who it is now?

• 39:48Bobby Lee?

  No, no, no, no, no.

• 39:49Speaker 06

  Was he gonna call you?

• 39:50Bobby Lee?

  No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. So, five months ago, he died.

• 39:55Speaker 06

  Five months ago?

• 39:56Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, he died. And when I found out he died, I cried.

• 40:00Speaker 06

  That's sad. That's unfortunate. That's sad.

• 40:01Bobby Lee?

  And I cried because I thought to myself, I did apologize thirty-five years ago when I did it.

• 40:07Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 40:07Bobby Lee?

  But, and he held this grudge, because I would hear other comics say that he still has a grudge.

• 40:12Speaker 05

  Yeah, but then, you know, I know why this guilt is so deep, because remember, about ten years ago, he had a little, like, radio show that maybe had two listeners, and we were the two listeners.

• 40:24Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 40:24Speaker 05

  Because you would make me listen to this guy. He would do, like, the morning news and talk about politics, and every day, we would listen. On car rides.

• 40:34Speaker 06

  You guys are a...

• 40:35Bobby Lee?

  You think?

• 40:37Speaker 06

  You guys are wild. This is crazy. This is crazy. Did you, did you listen?

• 40:44Bobby Lee?

  What do you mean?

• 40:45Speaker 05

  Do you remember? A whole ride to...

• 40:47Bobby Lee?

  I don't remember.

• 40:48Speaker 05

  Palm Springs was...

• 40:50Bobby Lee?

  I don't remember Palm Springs, man.

• 40:51Speaker 05

  Bleep it. It was just... Remember?

• 40:54Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, you're right.

• 40:55Speaker 06

  Did you, did you listen because of, do you think, did you listen because of, like, the feelings of guilt associated from that time?

• 41:02Bobby Lee?

  No, it was this. It was this. Eventually, he was telling people he stole my act.

• 41:08Speaker 06

  Oh, he was saying you did?

• 41:09Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 41:09Speaker 06

  And then here's the thing.

• 41:10Bobby Lee?

  It was one stupid premise, right? And I changed it. He's telling everyone that I stole his act?

• 41:16Speaker 06

  And then you became super successful. So that would, that would eat at it more. Do you see what I mean?

• 41:20Bobby Lee?

  Oh, I see, so.

• 41:21Speaker 06

  His, his view was like, this guy stole shit from me?

• 41:24Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 41:24Speaker 06

  And became a success.

• 41:25Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. And also, here's what burns more. He was also the nicest guy imaginable.

• 41:32Speaker 05

  It seemed like it. We listened to him for hours. He was like a nice dude.

• 41:35Bobby Lee?

  Very kind guy, you know what I mean? And I was kind of made to believe that I, back locally, that I was kind of a villain. But a lot of people thought I was a villain. Maybe I'm a villain.

• 41:46Speaker 06

  I can't see that.

• 41:46Bobby Lee?

  No, I think I'm a villain, dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think I'm like, you know what I mean? I'm a fucking villain.

• 41:50Speaker 06

  Really?

• 41:51Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I think so. I think I'm a bad person.

• 41:54Speaker 05

  Wait, when did you and Dad get into like the kumite? Like, I know you like drag, there was a dragon kick, there was like physical violence.

• 42:02Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, he did a dragon kick to my face.

• 42:05Speaker 05

  But when did that happen?

• 42:06Bobby Lee?

  At an Irish club in Pacific Beach at a bar, like it was at an open mic.

• 42:13Speaker 05

  Oh.

• 42:13Bobby Lee?

  Okay, and then he assaulted me a little bit at the Comedy Store.

• 42:17Speaker 06

  A little bit.

• 42:18Speaker 04

  Yeah, what's a little bit of assault?

• 42:19Bobby Lee?

  He assaulted me a little bit at the Comedy Store in Hollywood, because I was hosting the open mics. And I was making fun of like a homeless guy on stage, and he was a doorman, and he grabbed my shirt, threw me against the wall, and he goes, "He was homeless, were you making fun of people that are more unfortunate than you?" And I go, "Whoa, dude, get your hands off me."

• 42:35Speaker 06

  That was a fucking solid impression, by the way.

• 42:38Speaker 04

  Also makes him sound awesome.

• 42:39Bobby Lee?

  And he grabbed you? Yeah, he grabbed me, yeah.

• 42:42Speaker 06

  How did you respond?

• 42:43Bobby Lee?

  I went like, "What the fuck, get your hands off me," you know what I mean?

• 42:46Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 42:46Bobby Lee?

  I wanted to say, you know, something derogatory, but then it would be against my own people.

• 42:49Speaker 06

  Mm-hmm.

• 42:50Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean?

• 42:50Speaker 06

  Mm-hmm.

• 42:51Bobby Lee?

  A gook, let's be honest.

• 42:53Speaker 06

  I mean...

• 42:53Bobby Lee?

  Get your hands off me, gook.

• 42:54Speaker 06

  You can say it.

• 42:55Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, because, you know, I'm a big fucking platoon and, you know.

• 43:00Speaker 06

  My dad's a vet, I guess.

• 43:01Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, you can understand that.

• 43:02Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 43:03Bobby Lee?

  It's not out of like racism, it's out of like frustration.

• 43:05Speaker 06

  I would tell you that he told me that he didn't know that was a bad...

• 43:09Bobby Lee?

  No, no, no, really?

• 43:12Bobby Lee?

  What do you mean, what?

• 43:12Speaker 06

  So, my dad fought in Vietnam, he was in combat, and...

• 43:16Bobby Lee?

  Hey, Mr. Segura.

• 43:18Speaker 06

  Mr. Segura, and lieutenant.

• 43:21Speaker 06

  And then one day I was doing an interview with him, like for a podcast.

• 43:23Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 43:24Speaker 06

  And he's like, "When the gooks came over the hill," I was like, "Hey, hey, hey." I was like, "Hey, man."

• 43:29Bobby Lee?

  Really?

• 43:30Speaker 06

  I go, "You can't say that."

• 43:31Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 43:31Speaker 06

  He goes, "What are you talking about?" I go, "You can't say gook." And he was like, "Why?"

• 43:34Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 43:34Speaker 06

  I go, "Because it's a pejorative term."

• 43:37Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 43:37Speaker 06

  He goes, "No, it's not." I go, "Gook?"

• 43:41Speaker 06

  And he goes, "It's an acronym." And I go, "No, it's not." Well, he goes, "It stands for gentleman of other kinds." And I go, "It definitely does."

• 43:51Speaker 06

  I go, "It definitely doesn't."

• 43:53Bobby Lee?

  Gentleman of other kind.

• 43:54Speaker 06

  And then I had to Google and show him.

• 43:57Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 43:57Speaker 06

  And he was like, "Huh." I go, "You're fucking 70, you didn't know that?"

• 44:01Bobby Lee?

  That's his response? Huh?

• 44:02Speaker 06

  Yeah, he was like, "Huh."

• 44:04Speaker 06

  But then you...

• 44:05Bobby Lee?

  The N-word's bad?

• 44:08Speaker 06

  I thought it was an acronym.

• 44:12Speaker 06

  It was like a National Geographic doc on Vietnam.

• 44:16Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 44:17Speaker 06

  And they'll interview a guy who's like, yeah, so, you know, we were kind of stationed up on Hill 65. The gooks would come up and they play it on the documentary.

• 44:26Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 44:26Speaker 06

  It's just like, everybody from their, that era doesn't, if they fought in that battle.

• 44:32Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 44:32Speaker 06

  They're just like, that's how I talk.

• 44:34Bobby Lee?

  Well, I mean, you know, Hamburger Hill was a difficult battle.

• 44:36Speaker 06

  It was.

• 44:36Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, it was a very difficult battle.

• 44:37Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 44:38Bobby Lee?

  And they did a movie, I saw the movie, but, um, I mean, I can only imagine, you know, you're, that's the way, you have to, when you're fighting against another group of people, you have to put them in like an animal zone.

• 44:49Speaker 06

  You absolutely do.

• 44:50Bobby Lee?

  Right?

• 44:50Speaker 06

  I think war is the most dehumanizing thing that can happen to anybody.

• 44:54Bobby Lee?

  So, would you be able to do it?

• 44:55Speaker 06

  How can you even say, I mean?

• 44:57Bobby Lee?

  Would you be able to do?

• 44:57Speaker 06

  Right now? Probably not.

• 44:59Bobby Lee?

  Like?

• 44:59Speaker 06

  But if you sent me at 18 to boot camp, who knows?

• 45:02Bobby Lee?

  Right, but Tom Segura or Bobby Lee now with what we know?

• 45:05Speaker 06

  I don't think we'd be good at it, man.

• 45:06Bobby Lee?

  I, I know, but we would try.

• 45:08Speaker 06

  We would try.

• 45:09Bobby Lee?

  What if we had to do it? What would you do?

• 45:10Speaker 06

  Well, then, I mean, then you have to, what do you?

• 45:12Bobby Lee?

  I would, you know what I would ask?

• 45:14Speaker 06

  What?

• 45:14Bobby Lee?

  Give me, put me in the same platoon as Segura.

• 45:16Speaker 06

  Fuck yeah, dude.

• 45:17Bobby Lee?

  No, wouldn't it, wouldn't you want to be with me, you, Tim Dillon?

• 45:20Speaker 06

  Uh.

• 45:21Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean?

• 45:23Speaker 06

  A horrible platoon. No offense.

• 45:24Bobby Lee?

  No, no, no, no, Tim will do good.

• 45:25Speaker 06

  I think Tim's a little bit of a liability.

• 45:28Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 45:29Speaker 06

  No, I, I mean.

• 45:29Bobby Lee?

  You slaughtered the whole village for no reason.

• 45:31Speaker 06

  I think, I think you'd want to fight alongside people that you care about and have your back, yeah.

• 45:36Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, Tim.

• 45:37Speaker 06

  Okay, Tim.

• 45:38Bobby Lee?

  Okay, okay, good. Who would be, let's name 10 people in our platoon.

• 45:42Speaker 06

  Well, bring in Santino for sure.

• 45:43Bobby Lee?

  Oh, for sure, he'll seize a snapper head.

• 45:45Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 45:46Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. He's gonna, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 45:49Speaker 06

  We're not bringing Bert.

• 45:50Bobby Lee?

  No, we have to bring Bert.

• 45:53Speaker 06

  No, you give away our position.

• 45:54Bobby Lee?

  Ah, right, right, from the peers.

• 45:56Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 45:56Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's a bitch. Yeah, yeah, Bert's a bitch.

• 45:59Speaker 06

  He'd be like, I don't want to fight, I love everybody.

• 46:02Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 46:03Speaker 06

  Leanne? No. Leanne?

• 46:06Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 46:08Speaker 06

  Where are my daughters?

• 46:09Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, shut the fuck up.

• 46:10Speaker 06

  We're trying to kill people, Tim.

• 46:12Bobby Lee?

  Um, so, no Bert.

• 46:13Speaker 06

  Who's a little off?

• 46:14Bobby Lee?

  Who's, oh, they have to be a little off?

• 46:16Speaker 06

  I mean, I think we want a little fucking something.

• 46:18Bobby Lee?

  Okay, so me, you, Santino.

• 46:21Speaker 06

  What about Sebastian? No?

• 46:22Bobby Lee?

  Maniscalco?

• 46:24Bobby Lee?

  He's got a 50s stoic, I think.

• 46:27Speaker 06

  No, but he'd be like, guys.

• 46:29Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 46:29Speaker 06

  We're killing people? Yeah, yeah, that's true.

• 46:32Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, a lot of complaining.

• 46:34Speaker 06

  Like, I got a new robe on.

• 46:36Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 46:37Speaker 06

  I got my nails done. I wear three colognes.

• 46:39Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.

• 46:41Speaker 06

  Talking about combat, who's a little dirty?

• 46:43Bobby Lee?

  Who's dirty?

• 46:44Speaker 06

  Yeah, we want some dirty folks.

• 46:45Bobby Lee?

  Oh, well, Tony Hinscliff.

• 46:46Speaker 06

  Oh, dirty.

• 46:47Bobby Lee?

  Dirty dude, the dirtiest. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, there's gonna be.

  Yeah, so Tony, Hinscliff, Rogan?

• 46:55Speaker 06

  Yeah, he's so gnarly.

  Oh, so gnarly, yeah.

  Dana, Dana White?

• 46:59Speaker 06

  Yeah, the comic Dana White.

• 47:00Bobby Lee?

  The comedian?

• 47:01Speaker 03

  Oh, comedian?

• 47:02Bobby Lee?

  Oh, Dana White.

• 47:03Speaker 05

  Dana White.

• 47:03Bobby Lee?

  Oh, yeah, Dana White, yeah. No, dude, we're doing comedians.

• 47:07Speaker 03

  Comedians.

• 47:07Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, you're not in this, you're not in this discussion. Why, why, like I said, I, sometimes.

• 47:12Speaker 03

  I'm listening.

• 47:12Bobby Lee?

  I know, but sometimes.

• 47:14Speaker 03

  Ramsey, you want Ramsey?

• 47:16Bobby Lee?

  Sometimes me and my bro, I think it's the steroids, am I being really aggressive?

• 47:19Speaker 06

  Yeah, definitely.

• 47:20Speaker 03

  I like it.

• 47:20Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, I think it's steroids, but sometimes, you know, me, I'm talking to my friend, right? You just shut your mouth, sometimes, you know? That was mean, huh?

• 47:28Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 47:29Bobby Lee?

  You know, you know what, dude?

• 47:30Speaker 05

  Let's see what we got in there.

• 47:31Speaker 06

  What'd he put on his notes?

• 47:32Speaker 05

  All right, some cubes, he's drawing cubes.

• 47:34Bobby Lee?

  Draw your cube, I'm sorry, that was not too much. I love you. Thanks for, okay, let's go back.

• 47:38Speaker 06

  Okay.

• 47:38Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, we gotta put some, wait a minute.

• 47:41Speaker 06

  We do, I, I think Whitney's kinda psycho.

• 47:43Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, she's psycho.

• 47:44Speaker 06

  Yeah, one of them. I think, I mean, if we were like, this is the plan, I think she would be here.

• 47:48Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So Whitney and, um, who else? Ian Edwards.

• 47:53Speaker 06

  You're out of your fucking mind.

• 47:55Bobby Lee?

  Ian Edwards, dude. You know what I mean?

• 47:57Speaker 06

  A Chills making guy?

• 47:58Bobby Lee?

  He's crossover.

• 47:59Speaker 06

  We're in combat.

• 48:00Bobby Lee?

  Okay, all right, Brian Simpson then. I just don't, I just don't know him that well.

• 48:05Speaker 06

  Oh, he's fantastic.

• 48:06Bobby Lee?

  Oh, if you're saying, I went, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 48:08Speaker 06

  And, and like I said, he's the one who's actually be like, hey, boys, this is how you fucking clean your gun. Like, he's the one that's gonna teach you.

• 48:14Bobby Lee?

  Oh, he know.

• 48:14Speaker 06

  Yeah, man.

• 48:15Bobby Lee?

  I see, I see.

• 48:16Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 48:16Bobby Lee?

  But can Brian Simpson tell Joe Rogan what to do?

• 48:19Speaker 06

  I think in the combat situation, everything's out the fucking, you know?

• 48:22Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 48:23Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 48:23Bobby Lee?

  Okay.

• 48:24Speaker 05

  I have a suggestion.

• 48:25Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 48:25Speaker 05

  And because I think he speaks multiple language, he could a- act as a linguist, and I think he is of a different type of intelligence, is Godfrey.

• 48:34Speaker 06

  I was thinking about it.

• 48:35Bobby Lee?

  I was thinking about it.

• 48:35Speaker 05

  And physical.

• 48:36Speaker 06

  Yes.

• 48:36Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, Godfrey for sure.

• 48:37Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 48:38Bobby Lee?

  Godfrey for sure.

• 48:39Speaker 06

  Yeah, let's definitely get it.

• 48:40Bobby Lee?

  You want a Mexican in there? Who?

• 48:44Speaker 03

  Uh, not Mexican, but Cat Williams.

• 48:46Speaker 04

  Okay. Cat would be good.

• 48:49Bobby Lee?

  Hi, man. A little, a little tiny, okay. Yeah. Kevin Hart and Cat. You know what I mean? That's one person.

• 48:59Speaker 06

  How about an Arab?

• 49:01Bobby Lee?

  Oh, we need Arab.

• 49:01Speaker 06

  Yeah, we need an Arab.

• 49:03Bobby Lee?

  Uh, not Fihim Anwar, he's too clean.

• 49:05Speaker 06

  Yeah, too clean.

• 49:05Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 49:06Speaker 06

  A dirtier one.

• 49:07Bobby Lee?

  You know who it is.

• 49:08Speaker 06

  On account of what he say.

• 49:11Bobby Lee?

  No, he's not dirty, but I'll kinda give you a...

• 49:14Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 49:14Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. A K.

• 49:17Speaker 06

  Jesus, forty seven.

• 49:19Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. Amir K.

• 49:21Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 49:21Bobby Lee?

  Don't you think?

• 49:22Speaker 06

  Could call.

• 49:23Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. He already has trauma.

• 49:24Speaker 06

  Oh, and we definitely need, um, cause we're gonna run into wherever this battle is.

• 49:29Bobby Lee?

  Who are we fighting? That's the most important thing.

• 49:31Speaker 06

  It is the most important thing.

• 49:32Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 49:32Speaker 06

  I'm just saying there's probably an Arab out there.

• 49:34Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 49:35Speaker 06

  But...

• 49:37Speaker 06

  I also feel like it's not gonna hurt us to have somebody that speaks Mandarin. You got a good...

• 49:43Bobby Lee?

  I can just fake it. Making it's just as good.

• 49:46Speaker 06

  I'm telling you this.

• 49:46Bobby Lee?

  No, yeah.

• 49:47Speaker 06

  If we see a bunch of Chinese, we're all gonna go like this.

• 49:50Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, and I'll put on my tuxedo. And a top hat, you'll see it. I'll have a swirly mustache.

• 49:59Speaker 04

  Ronnie Chang.

• 50:00Bobby Lee?

  What?

• 50:01Speaker 04

  Ronnie Chang.

• 50:01Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, whatever, dude.

• 50:02Speaker 06

  Ronnie's a fantastic, yeah.

• 50:03Bobby Lee?

  I'm gonna tell you right now, and I, I'm being real, alright? I believe that if I was negotiating, I could, I would roll back to the fucking, our bunker or our foxhole, like laughing, "It's all good, guys. We're good."

• 50:16Speaker 06

  You would?

• 50:16Bobby Lee?

  Oh, yeah, yeah. And I'd wipe my mouth for some reason.

• 50:21Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. I'd come to, "It's all good, guys."

• 50:23Speaker 06

  It's all good.

• 50:24Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, it was all good.

• 50:25Speaker 06

  War's over.

• 50:26Bobby Lee?

  War's over, yeah, I ended it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I have a disease, but it's fine.

• 50:30Speaker 06

  It's totally fine.

• 50:31Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I took one for the team. Yeah. But hopefully it's not gonna go, but I think that if you and I saw blood and stuff, that it would be, oh, I mean, it would be, it would be bad.

• 50:39Speaker 06

  You think so?

• 50:39Bobby Lee?

  Dude, I couldn't kill anybody. There's, I, I don't care what it is, I just couldn't kill anybody.

• 50:45Speaker 06

  I, I think in that situation, I think you actually, I actually feel confident that you could.

• 50:50Speaker 04

  Me too.

• 50:50Speaker 06

  I, I really do.

• 50:51Bobby Lee?

  Give me the scenario.

• 50:52Speaker 06

  Somebody's coming at you with a fucking gun, and you have one too, I think you're gonna be...

• 50:57Bobby Lee?

  Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, if that doesn't work?

• 50:59Speaker 06

  No.

• 51:01Bobby Lee?

  I think that would work. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Can we talk, can we talk?

• 51:03Speaker 06

  I think you'd actually probably have the highest kill count. You'd be, you'd be, you'd, I think you would take off.

• 51:08Bobby Lee?

  I would do stuff. Poison. Yeah, I would do poison.

• 51:11Speaker 06

  Blow darts?

• 51:11Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, blow darts, the whole thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I would do, um, um, I think I'm good with grenades and dynamite.

• 51:19Speaker 06

  Fuck yeah.

• 51:19Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 51:20Speaker 06

  Yeah, you'd be our, our explosives expert.

• 51:24Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 51:24Speaker 06

  I see it. Bobby.

• 51:27Bobby Lee?

  You know?

• 51:28Speaker 06

  Go throw some grenades on that school bus and get back here.

• 51:30Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 51:31Speaker 06

  Okay.

• 51:31Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

  We got them.

• 51:36Bobby Lee?

  But they don't look like us.

• 51:37Speaker 06

  They don't look like us, yeah. Cause they're brown. And have weird ideas about whatever.

• 51:42Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 51:42Speaker 06

  Yeah, they eat fucking, you know what I mean? Gruel hummus.

• 51:46Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 51:48Speaker 06

  Or whatever, with cucumbers.

• 51:49Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 51:50Speaker 06

  Yeah. You can't, what are you even laughing with cucumbers for?

• 51:53Bobby Lee?

  Fuck yeah. Yeah, yeah, or whatever, yeah.

• 51:55Speaker 06

  You could do it.

• 51:55Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. What about you? You think you can handle it?

  War, no.

  What?

• 52:02Speaker 00

  Bobby looks like he's on the other team.

• 52:05Bobby Lee?

  Who's the guy in the middle?

• 52:06Speaker 00

  Tim Dillon.

• 52:07Bobby Lee?

  Oh, that's Dylan?

• 52:07Speaker 00

  Yeah.

  Let's make that.

• 52:16Bobby Lee?

  You wanna, like a war movie?

• 52:18Speaker 06

  Sure, they have cheap budgets. Let's make one.

• 52:19Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. I would, I would love to go to Southeast Asia and shoot a movie with them.

• 52:24Speaker 06

  Would you?

• 52:24Bobby Lee?

  That'd be so fun, dude.

• 52:25Speaker 06

  Dude, I would love to do that.

• 52:26Bobby Lee?

  Complaining the whole time?

• 52:27Speaker 06

  Yeah. Fucking hot.

• 52:29Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 52:30Speaker 06

  Yeah. Where would, where would you, if you could make a list, top three places you would want, want to shoot a movie cause you wanna be there? Where would you?

• 52:38Bobby Lee?

  Well, I mean, I, I used to shoot in Hawaii, so that's, that's a great place to shoot.

• 52:42Speaker 06

  Great.

• 52:42Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. And then I would probably, um,

• 52:48Bobby Lee?

  like Eastern Europe.

• 52:49Speaker 06

  Eastern Europe?

• 52:50Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 52:50Speaker 00

  Oh, wow.

• 52:50Speaker 06

  Like Prague or something?

• 52:52Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, Prague or something. You know what I mean? And then I would probably do, um,

• 52:58Bobby Lee?

  Wow, that's a tough one. Australia. Great food. Because you've got to think this. You've got to think. Great, where's the great hotels and great food?

• 53:09Speaker 06

  I like how you're thinking.

• 53:10Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean?

• 53:10Speaker 06

  Yeah, they do a lot of productions in New Zealand.

• 53:12Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. And I've been there.

• 53:14Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 53:15Bobby Lee?

  Great food, great hotels, right? You know, I don't know if we would survive. It's like the Revenant.

• 53:23Bobby Lee?

  You and I in the real elements.

• 53:25Speaker 06

  That looked like it. I heard the interview, they said it sucked to shoot that, man. Cameras were freezing all the time. Delayed the product. I'm like, this sounds like shit.

• 53:32Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 53:33Speaker 06

  I want to shoot in Italy.

• 53:35Bobby Lee?

  I thought, why would you want to do that?

• 53:38Speaker 06

  I just feel like it'd be great. Do you like Italy?

• 53:41Bobby Lee?

  Why would you want to do that? Why would you want to shoot in Italy? You like it? The food?

• 53:46Speaker 06

  That was fantastic.

  I mean this, we're gonna get this greenlit.

• 55:52Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, but it's, why, because of the food, Italy?

• 55:56Speaker 06

  The food, the lands, like the places, the language, I love, I love it there.

• 56:01Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, because you're, you're, you're, you've traveled a lot.

• 56:04Speaker 06

  I mean, I guess, yeah, yeah. I've traveled a lot, yes, yes.

• 56:08Bobby Lee?

  You've been everywhere?

• 56:09Speaker 06

  I've been to a lot of places, yeah, yeah. Hong Kong, I would love to do one there.

• 56:13Speaker 05

  Hong Kong's great.

• 56:14Speaker 06

  Hong Kong's an amazing city.

• 56:16Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I've never been there.

• 56:16Speaker 06

  You've never been to Hong Kong?

• 56:17Bobby Lee?

  No.

• 56:17Speaker 05

  Yeah, you have.

• 56:19Bobby Lee?

  I know, I don't know why I lied.

• 56:23Bobby Lee?

  I lied. Anti-Chinese. Yeah, I love Hong Kong.

• 56:26Speaker 06

  You like Hong Kong?

• 56:26Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, good food, yeah.

• 56:27Speaker 06

  Okay.

• 56:28Bobby Lee?

  Um, I've been to a lot of places too.

• 56:30Speaker 04

  I know, I believe you.

• 56:30Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, a lot of places too, you know what I mean?

• 56:34Bobby Lee?

  You know, I mean not as much as you, but I've been everywhere, Africa, everywhere, but um, a place that you've been that I've never been, how do you, what would you recommend?

• 56:42Speaker 06

  Well, I don't know where you haven't been.

• 56:43Bobby Lee?

  Is that real tobacco or is that?

• 56:44Speaker 06

  No, it's just a nicotine pouch.

• 56:45Bobby Lee?

  Can I have one?

• 56:46Speaker 06

  Yeah. Um, what's, how would I know where you haven't been though?

• 56:50Bobby Lee?

  Well, just name the place.

• 56:52Speaker 05

  He hasn't been to a lot of places in South America. He hasn't been to South America.

• 56:57Speaker 06

  Oh, okay, yeah, I've been to uh, Peru, Chile, Argentina.

• 57:01Bobby Lee?

  Which one of, okay, if I'm gonna go to South America, where would I go?

• 57:05Speaker 06

  Ooh, Brazil's a good, good, I've never been to Brazil.

• 57:08Bobby Lee?

  Well then why would-

• 57:09Speaker 06

  He, he said Brazil.

• 57:10Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 57:11Speaker 05

  What about to like Patagonia?

• 57:13Speaker 06

  Oh, in, in the, in the south?

• 57:15Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 57:15Speaker 06

  Yeah, I mean, Argentina's fucking amazing. I love Argentina.

• 57:19Bobby Lee?

  I heard they're racist.

• 57:20Speaker 06

  Yeah, but that's cool.

• 57:23Speaker 04

  They have a lot of Koreans there, actually.

• 57:25Bobby Lee?

  Oh, they do?

• 57:25Speaker 04

  Came from there, yeah. And they're racist, all of them, but yeah.

• 57:28Bobby Lee?

  Are they really racist to them? Okay, well, I don't want to go there, then.

• 57:31Speaker 06

  Well, here's the thing, here's a little...

• 57:33Speaker 04

  Fun-loving racism.

• 57:34Speaker 06

  Yeah. The, a lot of the world.

• 57:39Speaker 06

  Is it? I think so. And I think, the funny thing is, in America, you get this, you, you believe this notion that like, the race, like, we're bad, because there's race, and they're like, like, you have this illusion that, like, the rest of the world must not be like that.

• 57:52Bobby Lee?

  Hmm.

• 57:53Speaker 06

  And then you travel, and you're like, oh, it is. These people are super racist, too.

• 57:56Speaker 05

  That one, um, Zoom meeting that, in Finland, that was like, outed for everyone doing like, the...

• 58:03Speaker 06

  Oh, the eyes?

• 58:04Speaker 05

  The Chinese eyes, yeah.

• 58:05Speaker 06

  I mean, I remember, like, when I studied abroad, in, in college, I did Madrid, and so you have, like, a lot of immigration from Africa, right? And you also have the Romani, like, the Gypsies. Dude, all the Spaniards were super racist against all of them. And then, in South America, you have, like, the, the majority is the indigenous-looking people, right? Like, darker, brown-skinned people?

• 58:29Bobby Lee?

  Explain.

• 58:30Speaker 06

  Well, I just did.

• 58:32Speaker 06

  And then the minority would be light-skinned, white, you know, white-presenting people.

• 58:37Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 58:37Speaker 06

  Yeah, dude, who do you think's super racist there?

• 58:39Bobby Lee?

  Right.

• 58:40Speaker 06

  It's the whites.

• 58:41Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 58:41Speaker 06

  They're super, and they're racist against, basically, anyone who doesn't look, just like you see anywhere else.

• 58:46Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, well, you're a light-skinned Latino yourself.

• 58:48Speaker 06

  Right.

• 58:49Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. Does it feel cool, like that?

• 58:50Speaker 06

  Kind of feels like the best.

• 58:54Speaker 06

  Yeah, but you, you do hear, I mean, I don't hear a lot of racism down there. When I go down there, for Asians, it's, you usually hear it for more, like, for indigenous, or just anybody that is darker than a certain shade.

• 59:07Speaker 05

  Well, even in the Asian community, there's a lot of colorism.

• 59:10Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 59:11Speaker 05

  Even within the Filipino community, there's a lot of colorism. Like, the darker you are, the more, you know, there's like, a lot of whitening products.

• 59:18Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 59:19Speaker 05

  Koreans.

• 59:20Bobby Lee?

  India's like that, too, I heard.

• 59:22Speaker 05

  Koreans are, yeah.

• 59:23Speaker 06

  And then, I think in India, it's more like ingrained in, in the, you know, the caste system of like, you were born this, your, your, your dad was a rat catcher, that's what you are.

• 59:34Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 59:34Speaker 06

  You stay that way.

• 59:35Speaker 05

  You can't level up to the difference.

• 59:37Bobby Lee?

  You can't level up in India.

• 59:39Speaker 06

  I mean, traditionally, no.

• 59:41Bobby Lee?

  What if you're like, you have like a certain talent, like, I'm a good juggler or whatever?

• 59:44Speaker 06

  Probably then, but.

• 59:46Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean, like a prodigy at something like, you know what I mean, the yo-yo. And they're like, oh my god, this is the best to do it.

• 59:52Speaker 06

  But they really do, you know, in Latin America, they really do call all Asians chinos.

• 59:57Bobby Lee?

  In Latin America, they do.

• 59:58Speaker 06

  It's like.

• 59:58Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 59:59Speaker 06

  Like, so if you're, if you're Japanese, Korean, Filipino, they're just like, chino. And also, if you look tired, they're like, chino.

• 1:00:08Speaker 03

  Or if they have curly hair, chino.

• 1:00:11Speaker 06

  Chino.

• 1:00:12Bobby Lee?

  Okay, good, good, good note. Good, good add, good add on, you know what I mean? But that's why.

• 1:00:18Speaker 03

  You're welcome.

• 1:00:19Bobby Lee?

  That's why I prefer, what's that, in Finland, they did that?

• 1:00:22Speaker 03

  Yes, it was like a representative of the parliament.

• 1:00:24Bobby Lee?

  But that, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:00:25Speaker 06

  I mean, that's not bad, is it?

• 1:00:29Bobby Lee?

  He's doing the teeth, dude, he's like.

• 1:00:32Speaker 05

  But they all did it, so.

• 1:00:34Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:00:35Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:00:35Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. You know, I, I have to say, that's why I love America the best.

• 1:00:39Speaker 06

  Because we're open with it, or what?

• 1:00:40Bobby Lee?

  No, it's not that, it's just that, as a, um, minority, I understand where to go. You know what I mean? And where, let's like, if I'm in, like, if I'm in Indiana, for instance, I, in, in, like, you're in Indianapolis, it's just so like.

• 1:00:55Speaker 06

  You're like, it's so white here.

• 1:00:56Bobby Lee?

  No, but it's like, you see gays, you see, everyone's harmonious.

• 1:01:00Speaker 06

  Oh, okay.

• 1:01:01Bobby Lee?

  And then they'll go, hey, man, you know, you go two hours north, you know what I mean, don't go to that, I don't go to that town.

• 1:01:06Speaker 06

  Right.

• 1:01:06Bobby Lee?

  When they say, don't go, I don't go.

• 1:01:08Speaker 06

  You, you listen.

• 1:01:09Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I listen to it.

• 1:01:10Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:01:10Bobby Lee?

  There are some YouTubers that go, I wanna go, man, you know what I mean?

• 1:01:13Speaker 06

  How do you feel about the southeast in general? Is that a place you would avoid? I'm talking like Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, the Carolina, is that like?

• 1:01:21Bobby Lee?

  It's funny, if you look at my road dates, that I rarely go to those places.

• 1:01:25Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:01:25Bobby Lee?

  Like, for instance, Atlanta, I've played one time in my life.

• 1:01:27Speaker 03

  Atlanta, once?

• 1:01:28Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:01:29Speaker 03

  Love you there.

• 1:01:30Bobby Lee?

  I played maybe once or twice in my life, yeah, yeah. I've never played anywhere in Kansas. Um, when we did the Bad Friends tour, we did hit Memphis and, but they were the first times ever, ever.

• 1:01:42Speaker 06

  And how was your experience?

• 1:01:44Bobby Lee?

  Memphis was a nightmare.

• 1:01:45Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:01:45Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. It was an absent, it was a real utter nightmare of epic proportions. I bombed so hard.

• 1:01:53Speaker 06

  In the, but you did the Bad Friends?

• 1:01:55Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, we do stand up though. I bombed so fucking hard, dude.

• 1:01:57Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:01:58Bobby Lee?

  Oh my god. It was like notably.

• 1:02:01Speaker 06

  Really?

• 1:02:01Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, some places dude, it's like harder to do stand up, I think, you know, by being, I mean, it's not like I bomb, you know what I mean? I get laughs, but you know what certain jokes get.

• 1:02:11Speaker 06

  Yes.

• 1:02:11Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean?

• 1:02:12Speaker 06

  Yes.

• 1:02:12Bobby Lee?

  And I go, oh, this deserved this, and I don't get that. But it's like, um, I wouldn't say they were racist, I'm just saying that it was just a little harder.

• 1:02:19Speaker 06

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:02:20Bobby Lee?

  But I don't play like, I, New Orleans, I played one time, maybe 20 years ago. You play New Orleans?

• 1:02:26Speaker 06

  I do play New Orleans, yeah. All right, but now that you are having a special come out, it's gonna come out later in the year, um, and you're gonna have to do a new hour. It's, you'll probably do a big tour. On your next tour, it'll probably be, you're just gonna like, go everywhere, don't you think?

• 1:02:40Bobby Lee?

  You know, it's so funny. It's something I'd like to talk to you about, if I may.

• 1:02:45Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:02:45Bobby Lee?

  Um, you know, I know you're a stadium guy.

• 1:02:52Bobby Lee?

  Oh, you're not?

• 1:02:53Speaker 06

  A stadium guy? Come on.

• 1:02:56Bobby Lee?

  Oh, you play the El Paso comic strip?

• 1:02:59Speaker 06

  Okay, no.

• 1:03:00Bobby Lee?

  You do Bart Reed's comic strip?

• 1:03:02Speaker 06

  Okay, all right.

• 1:03:02Bobby Lee?

  You ever been doing six shows there? No, no, no, no, no, let's get real, let's get real for a second.

• 1:03:06Speaker 06

  Go back to the question.

• 1:03:07Bobby Lee?

  No, no, no, no, I wanna get real with you for a second, all right, all right? And I don't care, like.

• 1:03:11Speaker 06

  All right.

• 1:03:11Bobby Lee?

  No, no, is, is that Yuck Yucks in Vancouver?

• 1:03:16Bobby Lee?

  Okay, you think that's the Mall of America, Rick Bronson Hall of Fun? That's not Hall of Fun.

• 1:03:22Speaker 06

  I don't even, here's the thing, I don't know where that is.

• 1:03:24Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, okay, all right. So, that's what you're doing.

• 1:03:27Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:03:28Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, okay. And, you know, I feel like, yeah.

• 1:03:32Speaker 06

  Okay.

• 1:03:33Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, that doesn't seem.

• 1:03:36Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:03:38Speaker 06

  Can I just say?

• 1:03:38Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:03:39Speaker 06

  Point made and just keep.

• 1:03:41Bobby Lee?

  Point made, move on, yeah. Point made, move on, right? Yeah, so when you say, um, I'll go back on tour, yeah. I'll play, you know what I mean, stand up live in Phoenix, sure.

• 1:03:51Speaker 06

  You don't know what, what, what this special is gonna do for you. You have no idea.

• 1:03:55Bobby Lee?

  I don't, I, I, I can't see.

• 1:03:57Speaker 06

  But this is, this is the, here's the thing. You haven't had the experience of having a special come out and see what it does, because this is the first one you're putting out. You might put this out, announce your new dates and have your agent be like, "Hey, guess what? This sold out in three seconds, so do you wanna do like five of these? Or do you wanna actually book a bigger, like, you, that might happen to you. You don't know that.

• 1:04:22Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I mean, I've, you know, I've been in this business for a very long time and, um, I think, uh, I think not.

• 1:04:29Speaker 06

  Well, the thing, but the thing.

• 1:04:30Bobby Lee?

  I think not, I think not, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:04:32Speaker 06

  But we, we, but we know something, we know something from data. We know something.

• 1:04:37Bobby Lee?

  Data, what, data?

• 1:04:38Speaker 06

  I'm gonna tell you.

• 1:04:38Bobby Lee?

  Data?

• 1:04:39Speaker 06

  However you wanna say it.

• 1:04:40Bobby Lee?

  Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know what data is.

• 1:04:41Speaker 06

  I'm from United States.

• 1:04:42Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:04:44Speaker 06

  So, when, when people do movies and TV shows and the, and that, and their standups, it never really, people think it'll translate to ticket sales. The thing we've learned just from a thousand examples is that standup is what changes people's draw. Meaning putting out standup, like specials, like you're doing. That's what changes the draw. But you're doing it for the first time. You don't know what it's gonna happen to your draw because of it. You really don't.

• 1:05:11Speaker 04

  True.

• 1:05:12Bobby Lee?

  What, what, I don't understand what you're saying, you know what I mean? Based on your data.

• 1:05:17Speaker 06

  Data.

• 1:05:17Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, data.

• 1:05:18Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:05:18Bobby Lee?

  Is, um, but my fans are my fans.

• 1:05:23Speaker 06

  But your, your fandom.

• 1:05:24Bobby Lee?

  So my fans are gonna come out.

• 1:05:26Speaker 06

  But it can expand is my point. It can expand.

• 1:05:28Bobby Lee?

  I don't think fandom expands that as much as you think it does.

• 1:05:30Speaker 06

  But how about the people that, that are doing those big rooms? What's the thing that's consistent about them?

• 1:05:36Bobby Lee?

  They're very talented.

• 1:05:37Speaker 06

  And they put out?

• 1:05:38Bobby Lee?

  Specials, yeah.

• 1:05:39Speaker 06

  That's my thing.

• 1:05:40Bobby Lee?

  Okay. It would probably take me two or three to maybe to do that then. Yeah, yeah, so I'll do two or three and then maybe it'll happen.

• 1:05:45Speaker 06

  Okay.

• 1:05:46Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, but let's move on from it.

• 1:05:47Speaker 06

  Okay.

• 1:05:48Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I have, I don't have enough data.

• 1:05:49Speaker 06

  Okay.

• 1:05:50Bobby Lee?

  I know, yeah, yeah. It's, to me, it's like, you know, when I do, cause I've done big rooms with you.

• 1:05:55Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:05:55Bobby Lee?

  You know, in stadiums.

• 1:05:59Speaker 06

  Yes, yeah.

• 1:06:00Speaker 04

  Can I see an example of that?

• 1:06:01Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:06:04Bobby Lee?

  Why are you embarrassed by it?

• 1:06:07Speaker 06

  I wasn't.

• 1:06:07Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like, who cares?

• 1:06:09Speaker 06

  Who cares?

• 1:06:10Bobby Lee?

  You're not the only one that does it.

• 1:06:11Speaker 06

  I didn't think it.

• 1:06:12Bobby Lee?

  We have fucking fifty examples of people that even do better than you.

• 1:06:15Speaker 06

  Yes.

• 1:06:16Bobby Lee?

  Let's see, huh? Better than you, dude?

• 1:06:18Speaker 06

  Yes, yes.

• 1:06:18Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:06:19Speaker 06

  Yes.

• 1:06:19Bobby Lee?

  Fenway Park or whatever.

• 1:06:20Speaker 06

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:06:21Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. But anyway.

• 1:06:22Speaker 06

  Billy Burr.

• 1:06:23Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, Billy Burr did that, right? How many was that? Eighty thousand seats?

• 1:06:26Speaker 06

  I have no idea.

• 1:06:27Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:06:27Speaker 06

  Uh, Fluffy?

• 1:06:29Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, Fluffy's done.

• 1:06:30Speaker 06

  Fluffy's done Dodger Stadium.

• 1:06:31Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, right?

• 1:06:33Speaker 06

  Matt Rife has done huge, huge venues.

• 1:06:35Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, a lot of people. Bargatze?

• 1:06:37Speaker 06

  Bargatze.

• 1:06:38Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. Sebastian?

• 1:06:39Speaker 06

  Sebastian.

• 1:06:40Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, but, um, so don't be embarrassed by it.

• 1:06:43Speaker 06

  I'm not embarrassed.

• 1:06:44Bobby Lee?

  Okay.

• 1:06:44Speaker 06

  Okay.

• 1:06:45Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, you're killing it.

• 1:06:46Speaker 06

  Thanks, bro.

• 1:06:47Bobby Lee?

  And you know what's so amazing about you is there's a pathway from, because I believe that, like, I tried the Hollywood thing. And to see the pathway from what, how you and Bert have done it, you know what I mean, is really inspiring.

• 1:06:58Speaker 06

  That's really nice of you.

• 1:07:00Bobby Lee?

  Because it's like, you know, you go, oh, you build an audience from ground up. And then maybe, you know what I mean, Hollywood will open their doors eventually, which is what they did for you. Do you feel that?

• 1:07:14Speaker 06

  No.

• 1:07:16Bobby Lee?

  You don't feel that?

• 1:07:17Speaker 06

  No.

• 1:07:17Bobby Lee?

  What do you mean?

• 1:07:18Speaker 06

  I feel like almost, I feel like everything that I've done in Hollywood is self-generated. I don't think I've ever gotten like the, I think that's the fantasy. You go, I'm gonna do this.

• 1:07:27Bobby Lee?

  You were in that horror movie, Countdown or whatever.

• 1:07:30Speaker 06

  Yeah, yeah, that was.

• 1:07:32Bobby Lee?

  What was that movie called?

• 1:07:33Speaker 06

  I think that was called Countdown.

• 1:07:35Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I saw you in that.

• 1:07:36Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:07:36Bobby Lee?

  You were good in that scene.

• 1:07:37Speaker 06

  Thanks, man.

• 1:07:38Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:07:38Speaker 06

  But don't you think that, isn't the fantasy, though, when you, when you're, like, you have a scene or a couple of scenes in a movie?

• 1:07:43Bobby Lee?

  Hmm.

• 1:07:43Speaker 06

  You're like, oh, this will, maybe this will lead to something like.

• 1:07:45Bobby Lee?

  Right, right. That's never happened for me.

• 1:07:47Speaker 06

  Never.

• 1:07:47Bobby Lee?

  That's never happened for me either.

• 1:07:48Speaker 06

  I did a movie this summer.

• 1:07:50Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:07:50Speaker 06

  Right? That I produced.

• 1:07:51Bobby Lee?

  Yours? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:07:52Speaker 06

  Yeah, but I produced it.

• 1:07:53Bobby Lee?

  I know.

• 1:07:53Speaker 06

  And then the TV show that I have on Netflix, Bad Thoughts, we're doing season two now.

• 1:07:58Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, but somebody.

• 1:07:59Speaker 06

  I did the.

• 1:08:00Bobby Lee?

  I know, but you did it, but someone said, let's do it.

• 1:08:02Speaker 06

  Well, yeah, but my point is.

• 1:08:04Bobby Lee?

  That's the thing.

• 1:08:05Speaker 06

  My point is that they don't go, you want a TV? Like, you think that you're gonna be like, I wanna do a TV show, and it's like, yeah.

• 1:08:10Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:08:10Speaker 06

  No.

• 1:08:11Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:08:11Speaker 06

  You go, here's the, an example of the TV show.

• 1:08:15Bobby Lee?

  Oh, I see.

• 1:08:15Speaker 06

  You have, like.

• 1:08:16Bobby Lee?

  You have to generate it.

• 1:08:17Speaker 06

  Yeah, yeah, it's self-generated.

• 1:08:18Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:08:19Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:08:21Bobby Lee?

  Okay, alright.

• 1:08:22Speaker 06

  Isn't that relevant, though?

• 1:08:25Bobby Lee?

  No? I, I, I don't know. It is. I don't know, because I think that, um...

• 1:08:29Speaker 06

  I'm not complaining, I'm just making a point.

• 1:08:30Bobby Lee?

  What I'm saying, though, is, you know what I mean, I know why we always fight. Okay? Because you draw something out of me.

• 1:08:36Speaker 06

  Yeah, I do.

• 1:08:37Bobby Lee?

  I was a little rude last time you were on Bad Friends, by the way, I apologize for that. I was really mean.

• 1:08:41Speaker 06

  It's okay.

• 1:08:41Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I attack you.

• 1:08:42Speaker 06

  You did.

• 1:08:43Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, my argument would be, um, that, uh, um... You wouldn't do, like, if they said, "Ayy", you know what I mean? Let's just make up a guy. Frank Con... Frank Congo is doing an action movie, right?

• 1:08:57Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:08:57Bobby Lee?

  Right?

• 1:08:58Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:08:58Bobby Lee?

  A couple of Tibetan knights.

• 1:09:00Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:09:00Bobby Lee?

  Right? Is that in a movie already? It's a team. Yeah, yeah. Tibetan knights, and, you know, you're gonna be eighth lead, and you play the store clerk. You're not gonna do that.

• 1:09:10Speaker 06

  I mean, it would depend, who's directing, whatever it is?

• 1:09:13Bobby Lee?

  Tibetan knights?

• 1:09:14Speaker 06

  Tibetan knights, yeah.

• 1:09:14Bobby Lee?

  Scorsese. Scorsese?

• 1:09:15Speaker 06

  Yeah, then you'd be like, "Yeah, of course."

• 1:09:17Bobby Lee?

  Oh, you would.

• 1:09:17Speaker 06

  For sure.

• 1:09:18Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:09:19Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:09:19Bobby Lee?

  But you get one line.

• 1:09:21Speaker 06

  I mean, if Scorsese calls, I think you'd do it, right?

• 1:09:23Bobby Lee?

  Oh, let me play this game with you.

• 1:09:24Speaker 06

  Okay.

• 1:09:25Bobby Lee?

  Alright.

• 1:09:27Bobby Lee?

  Wes Anderson.

• 1:09:28Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:09:29Bobby Lee?

  You say yes.

• 1:09:29Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:09:30Bobby Lee?

  No matter what it is.

• 1:09:31Speaker 06

  I mean, yeah, I would do what, yeah.

• 1:09:32Bobby Lee?

  Okay. Who's the Dune guy? I love him. Oh, Villeneuve? Yeah. Villeneuve. For sure.

• 1:09:38Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:09:38Speaker 06

  Definitely.

• 1:09:39Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:09:40Speaker 06

  Chris Nolan.

• 1:09:41Bobby Lee?

  Oh, well, yeah, I would be a tree.

• 1:09:43Speaker 06

  Exactly, that's my point.

• 1:09:45Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:09:45Speaker 06

  We all wanna be in...

• 1:09:46Bobby Lee?

  Me and The Odyssey.

• 1:09:50Bobby Lee?

  You and I both that.

• 1:09:50Speaker 06

  Yeah. And I'm over here.

• 1:09:52Bobby Lee?

  In the back, in the back. Imagine.

• 1:09:54Speaker 06

  We all wanna be in, like, great work, all of us do.

• 1:09:57Bobby Lee?

  That's Tom Holland.

• 1:09:57Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:09:59Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:10:00Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:10:01Bobby Lee?

  Wow. Yeah, but so, but then, you know, independent, probably no. First time director.

• 1:10:08Speaker 06

  I mean, then it becomes, what's, what is it?

• 1:10:10Bobby Lee?

  Oh! Interesting.

• 1:10:12Speaker 06

  Well, don't you think that's how you...

• 1:10:13Bobby Lee?

  What do you mean?

• 1:10:14Speaker 06

  You read the script, and you go, "This is a great script, it's a first time drug", you're like, "This is awesome", then you wanna do it.

• 1:10:19Bobby Lee?

  Hmm.

• 1:10:19Speaker 06

  If you're like, "This is a fucking pile of shit", fuck your basketball arm.

• 1:10:23Bobby Lee?

  That's, I didn't realize it was that deep.

• 1:10:26Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:10:26Speaker 05

  Is it fully rehabilitated?

• 1:10:28Speaker 06

  Yeah, and then I had a second surgery, you know that?

• 1:10:31Speaker 03

  Oh, no, why?

• 1:10:32Speaker 06

  They took the nerve out of here.

• 1:10:33Speaker 03

  Ouch.

• 1:10:34Speaker 06

  See this scar?

• 1:10:35Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:10:35Speaker 06

  And then they put it in here. I have a video of it, you wanna see it?

• 1:10:38Speaker 03

  Yeah, I wanna see it, yeah.

• 1:10:38Speaker 05

  Do you have, um, just loss of sensation?

• 1:10:42Speaker 06

  I did for a while, that nerve transfer really changed things. It was, it was like a state of the art surgery that they did.

• 1:10:48Bobby Lee?

  That was bad, huh?

• 1:10:50Speaker 06

  Yeah, it was not good.

• 1:10:51Bobby Lee?

  Jesus Christ.

• 1:10:52Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:10:53Bobby Lee?

  When you see it up front, it's like, really heavy, right?

• 1:10:56Speaker 05

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:10:57Bobby Lee?

  What?

• 1:10:57Speaker 03

  What happened?

• 1:10:58Speaker 06

  Oh, boy.

• 1:11:00Bobby Lee?

  I see.

• 1:11:01Speaker 05

  The basketball landed.

• 1:11:03Speaker 03

  He's gonna fill it in the morning?

• 1:11:06Speaker 06

  Nice, nice.

• 1:11:07Speaker 04

  He got it, he got it.

• 1:11:08Bobby Lee?

  Say it again, dude.

• 1:11:09Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:11:09Bobby Lee?

  With more conviction.

• 1:11:11Speaker 03

  Ouch. He's gonna fill that in the morning?

• 1:11:13Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:11:14Bobby Lee?

  God, movie star.

• 1:11:16Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:11:16Bobby Lee?

  One take wonder.

• 1:11:19Bobby Lee?

  Dude, I can't imagine, um, you in a movie.

• 1:11:24Bobby Lee?

  Like, how many times you'd have to do a line over again?

• 1:11:26Speaker 03

  Just one time.

• 1:11:27Bobby Lee?

  Oh, your one take wonder?

• 1:11:28Speaker 00

  Give him a line.

• 1:11:28Bobby Lee?

  Wow. Um, you give him one.

• 1:11:32Speaker 00

  Oh, my gosh, is that really the philosopher after over there?

• 1:11:36Speaker 03

  Give me something else, I can't say.

• 1:11:37Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, you don't have to say that.

• 1:11:38Speaker 03

  Oh, my God.

• 1:11:39Bobby Lee?

  Is that really a-

• 1:11:40Speaker 03

  Is that the philosopher guy?

• 1:11:41Speaker 00

  I knew he was-

• 1:11:42Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, okay.

• 1:11:46Speaker 00

  So, wait, can we say, wait, what is it?

• 1:11:47Speaker 04

  Get Frank Congo on the line.

• 1:11:49Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:11:49Speaker 05

  Like, I wanna see it. Oh, that looks cool. Wow.

• 1:11:55Speaker 06

  Oh, my God.

• 1:11:56Speaker 00

  You've never seen this time?

• 1:11:57Speaker 06

  Look at this, look at this one. So, I don't wanna see it, I don't wanna see it!

• 1:12:01Speaker 05

  I think I wanna see it.

• 1:12:02Speaker 06

  And they make the hand move.

• 1:12:04Speaker 05

  Uh, that's so cool.

• 1:12:06Speaker 00

  Who's recording, your wife?

• 1:12:07Speaker 06

  No.

• 1:12:09Speaker 05

  You think she scrubbed in?

• 1:12:11Bobby Lee?

  She's TikToking?

• 1:12:14Bobby Lee?

  Christine on her TikToks.

• 1:12:18Speaker 06

  Look at this one.

• 1:12:18Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:12:19Speaker 06

  Oh my Jesus. Look at the hand.

• 1:12:23Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 1:12:23Speaker 05

  Wow, wow, wow, wow. So they don't make any mistakes. They know exactly what nerve.

• 1:12:29Speaker 06

  Well, it's a, it's a, it's a high risk operation. So basically you have two nerves here.

• 1:12:35Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:12:35Speaker 06

  You can pronate with. So what they do is when this one was not firing well, they took one out of here and they put it in here. And then it's like, it's like a doll hair.

• 1:12:44Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:12:44Speaker 06

  So for like a few weeks, they go, hey, you can't touch, uh, like you can't try to pick up a jug of milk. You can't pick up anything because if it snaps, that's it. You're toast.

• 1:12:56Speaker 05

  Wow.

• 1:12:56Speaker 06

  And I, at the time I had a fucking two year old and a four year old.

• 1:13:00Bobby Lee?

  Oh my God.

• 1:13:01Speaker 06

  So I was just terrified of them. Like they would walk, I'd go, get your fuck away from me. Like I'm just, you know.

• 1:13:06Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:13:07Speaker 06

  I've traumatized them.

• 1:13:08Bobby Lee?

  Wow, wow.

• 1:13:09Speaker 06

  But yeah, the thing is, so what happened was because I had, I had like radial nerve damage from the break.

• 1:13:14Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:13:15Speaker 06

  When you, when you have that and it's like healing, they go, these nerves, nerves sometimes just start firing on their own, right?

• 1:13:20Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:13:21Speaker 06

  You just wait, you wait. And so it starts getting better, but I was doing things like if you said, open your, your hands, right? You can go, my healthy hand like this, this hand would go like that.

• 1:13:29Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:13:29Speaker 06

  And then if I wanted to grab something, I would have to like flop my hand on it and grab it. And they're like, it might come back, but they're like, we're, we're adding up the months now. And if your nerve doesn't actually reconnect and start firing, your body consumes the nodules and then it's over. So what you have is what you have.

• 1:13:50Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:13:50Speaker 06

  So he goes, he proposes this operation and I'm like, I go, I, all right, I go like, this sounds pretty well. He goes, yeah, it's pretty steady there. I go, how many have you done? He goes, one. I go, so I'm number two? He's like, yeah. But he goes, but it's, it works. It's incredible. And then, yeah.

• 1:14:07Speaker 05

  That's so cool. Cause um, did you have involuntary movements?

• 1:14:11Speaker 06

  No.

• 1:14:12Speaker 05

  Before the surgery?

• 1:14:13Speaker 06

  No, I didn't have involuntary movements. What I did have was like a lot of, you know, weird sensations.

• 1:14:19Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:14:20Speaker 06

  Numbness, tingling, things like that where you're like, oh, and then it would slowly, slowly, like a couple of months later, you're like, oh, that's a little better. And even like to this day. If you grab my forearm, I can feel the nerve sensations. Oh wow.

• 1:14:35Speaker 05

  Because what happened with my, when I got Bell's palsy is I had incomplete healing.

• 1:14:39Speaker 06

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:14:40Speaker 05

  And um, so the nerves have like crosswired, so I have, they don't communicate with each other correctly. They kind of regenerate.

• 1:14:49Speaker 06

  I didn't know you had Bell's palsy.

• 1:14:50Speaker 05

  I have, yeah, I had Bell's palsy about like a year ago.

• 1:14:53Speaker 06

  Yeah, a year ago?

• 1:14:54Speaker 05

  A year ago. And it's supposed to go away in like three to six months, but it never fully did. So when my, when I purse my lip safe, for instance, it closes my eye.

• 1:15:02Speaker 06

  Really?

• 1:15:02Speaker 05

  So yeah, they've just kind of miscommunicated.

• 1:15:05Speaker 06

  And what do they, do they say that might just resolve itself?

• 1:15:07Speaker 05

  No, I think synkinesis is more permanent. So like when I'm done, um, in, in a little bit, there are surgeries to maybe similar like that where they can like re-innervate or come like, force the nerves to come back alive, but I don't know what the success rate of that is.

• 1:15:24Speaker 06

  Yeah, I mean, it's obviously, it's like, it's worth, you know, doing all your research on. I remember that after I had this procedure done, the doctors would call me and go, will you talk to this other patient?

• 1:15:34Speaker 05

  Oh wow.

• 1:15:35Speaker 06

  Because this guy, like one time they're like, we have this like really wealthy guy who's like, yeah, yeah, just fix it. And they're like, yeah, it doesn't, it doesn't work like that.

• 1:15:44Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:15:45Speaker 06

  So they're like, will you tell him? Cause I had to like talk to this guy and be like, I go, you can wait, cause he was like, I don't know if I want this. I was like, you can wait it out, man. But like, you realize that after a certain date, if it, if your body's like done trying to make it happen, it's over.

• 1:16:02Bobby Lee?

  It's over, yeah.

• 1:16:02Speaker 06

  There is no.

• 1:16:03Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 1:16:04Speaker 06

  You don't have the option.

• 1:16:05Speaker 05

  You have that window.

• 1:16:06Speaker 06

  Yeah, there's a window.

• 1:16:07Bobby Lee?

  So if it didn't work, what would have happened?

• 1:16:08Speaker 06

  I just would have had the hand where like, I mean.

• 1:16:11Bobby Lee?

  Would it shrink? Those are my, those are my favorite.

• 1:16:15Bobby Lee?

  You've seen that on YouTube, you know what I mean?

• 1:16:16Speaker 05

  It hits the feeling, it hits the maximum. But I, how long after the surgery that you start to see like, oh, things are moving a little differently? Or I can feel this now, or I, it's not as floppy?

• 1:16:26Speaker 06

  After the um, so like six weeks later was when I was allowed to start like, you could pick up, you know, five pounds and then a few weeks after that, he's like 15 pounds. Little by little. And then there's this thing too. So I was like started, starting to like get, month to month, it would be like little progress. If I picked up like two dumbbells. I would be like, I would curl them. And then sometimes on like the sixth rep of a, not a heavy dumbbell. My arm would just stop here. And I would be like, hey, it's not. And they're like, yeah, the nerve.

• 1:17:01Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:17:01Speaker 06

  Just didn't fire again. And then I thought that was just gonna be, that's just where it is.

• 1:17:07Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:17:08Speaker 06

  Dude, like, a year later, I was able to bump up that weight. It took like a full year.

• 1:17:14Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 1:17:14Speaker 06

  To go to a higher weight. And now, even now, my right arm is definitely stronger than my left arm. But it actually has continued to progress. But you have to like, keep working it all the time.

• 1:17:25Speaker 05

  And you have to retrain your brain too, right?

• 1:17:27Bobby Lee?

  Did Bert tell you to do that basketball stunt?

• 1:17:31Speaker 06

  No. You don't know how that actually, like, what actually happened?

• 1:17:34Bobby Lee?

  Bert had nothing to do with that?

• 1:17:36Speaker 06

  No, dude. I listened to somebody. Fucking, like, I, I mean, it's all my fault, but, you know, we were, we were doing our stupid dunk contest.

• 1:17:45Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:17:45Speaker 06

  So, it was over.

• 1:17:48Bobby Lee?

  It had been over?

• 1:17:49Speaker 06

  No, it, it had just ended.

• 1:17:51Bobby Lee?

  And was Bert there?

• 1:17:52Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:17:52Bobby Lee?

  Okay.

• 1:17:52Speaker 06

  So the, the goal was. I'm trying to blame Bert.

• 1:17:55Bobby Lee?

  I'm trying to, I think Bert has.

• 1:17:56Speaker 06

  The way, the way. The way it worked was that we started, we, we did one of those hoops that you can keep raising.

• 1:18:03Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 1:18:03Speaker 06

  So we started at seven and a half.

• 1:18:05Bobby Lee?

  Hmm.

• 1:18:05Speaker 06

  And then eight, and then eight and a half, and nine. And nine was like, looked like, that was like the highest we were gonna go.

• 1:18:11Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:18:11Speaker 06

  So he went to dunk it and couldn't, and then I did. So it was over, and I won. I was there like, you're the, you win.

• 1:18:19Bobby Lee?

  And that's end of day, go home.

• 1:18:21Speaker 06

  Well, we were gonna do something else, but the dunking was done.

• 1:18:23Bobby Lee?

  Dunking, dunking done.

• 1:18:25Speaker 06

  And then the guy that worked at this, like, basketball place, he goes, hey, man. I think you got a little more in you.

• 1:18:32Bobby Lee?

  It's that guy's fault.

• 1:18:33Speaker 06

  Yeah, and I go, and I knew, I knew that I had just gotten over. I was 247 pounds, so I was much heavier.

• 1:18:40Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 1:18:40Speaker 06

  And I just got it in. And I knew that was my limit, and I was like, yeah.

• 1:18:47Bobby Lee?

  Really?

• 1:18:48Speaker 06

  Yeah, yeah. And so they cranked it up, they cranked it up to nine, three. And I, I knew it was beyond what I could do. And he goes, "Dig deep, man. You gotta dig deep right now." I was like, "Yeah, fuck yeah, I'm gonna dig deep."

• 1:19:00Bobby Lee?

  What?

• 1:19:01Speaker 06

  Yeah. And I went to, and I, as I pushed off, my patellar tendon snapped.

• 1:19:06Bobby Lee?

  What is that? Like, in your legs?

• 1:19:08Speaker 06

  That's the tendon that, that keeps your kneecap.

• 1:19:10Bobby Lee?

  Oh, my god.

• 1:19:11Speaker 06

  So it tore here.

• 1:19:12Bobby Lee?

  Oh.

• 1:19:13Speaker 06

  That's why I fall. That tears. I fall. Instinctively, your arm goes behind you because you're falling.

• 1:19:19Bobby Lee?

  Oh, my god.

• 1:19:19Speaker 06

  And then it was just dead, 250 pounds, dead weight on the arm. It just snapped in half.

• 1:19:23Bobby Lee?

  Oh, my god. Yeah.

• 1:19:24Speaker 06

  Yeah. Yeah, that's me talking about it.

• 1:19:27Bobby Lee?

  Oh, oh, I can't even watch it.

• 1:19:29Speaker 00

  I see your, oh, god.

• 1:19:30Bobby Lee?

  I can't even.

• 1:19:31Speaker 06

  You see what I mean?

• 1:19:31Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:19:32Speaker 06

  People are always like, "Oh, you slipped. I didn't slip."

• 1:19:34Bobby Lee?

  Oh, my god.

• 1:19:34Speaker 00

  It gave out.

• 1:19:35Bobby Lee?

  Oh, my god.

• 1:19:35Speaker 06

  The, the leg just.

• 1:19:36Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:19:37Bobby Lee?

  And that camera guy, just standing there. Outrageous.

• 1:19:41Speaker 06

  Yeah, he's like.

• 1:19:41Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:19:42Speaker 06

  He's like, "I got a good angle right here, bro."

• 1:19:43Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, that's insane, dude. Wow.

• 1:19:45Speaker 00

  Who was he?

• 1:19:46Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 1:19:46Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:19:46Bobby Lee?

  Do you regret that, or?

• 1:19:48Speaker 06

  You know.

• 1:19:48Bobby Lee?

  It's a part of your story now.

• 1:19:49Speaker 06

  It's a part of my story. It's, it was, it was so horrible.

• 1:19:53Bobby Lee?

  Hmm.

• 1:19:54Speaker 06

  It was so horrible. The recovery was horrible. The, the, I got so depressed in the hospital and in the recovery center. It was terrible. But it definitely set me off on another path. I don't mean just physically. I mean, like, mentally, everything was different after that.

• 1:20:08Bobby Lee?

  Oh, you, you wanted to lose the weight?

• 1:20:10Speaker 06

  But not just, like, physical stuff. I just feel like I, it, it helped open me up. Like, I, I feel like I was.

• 1:20:16Bobby Lee?

  Your mind?

• 1:20:16Speaker 06

  Yeah, I feel like I was much more, um, reserved. Like, just, I didn't ever get, like, too excited or too, like, about anything. And then after that, I think I, I changed in that regard, for sure.

• 1:20:29Bobby Lee?

  Wow.

• 1:20:29Speaker 06

  Yeah, it was like, uh, like, when someone has, like, a, you know, a horrible car crash and they're like, "What the fuck am I doing?" Like, I, I kinda.

• 1:20:36Bobby Lee?

  Wow, it opened you?

• 1:20:37Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:20:37Bobby Lee?

  Wow. Yeah, yeah. I think the last time I relapsed was that.

• 1:20:42Speaker 06

  Relapsing?

• 1:20:43Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:20:43Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:20:43Speaker 05

  Relapse.

• 1:20:45Bobby Lee?

  Four years ago.

• 1:20:45Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:20:47Speaker 06

  I think it helped open you.

• 1:20:48Bobby Lee?

  I think it opened me up. Well, I just remember going, praying to God, going, "I, I swear to God, this is it. Save me from this." I was in so much, like, uh, spiritual pain. And, um, it's been very good since then.

• 1:21:03Speaker 06

  That's great.

• 1:21:03Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, it's been very good. Although I am a little lazy, but, you know. Is that, is that the rumor about me that I'm lazy? What is the rumor, Tom? Yeah, Tom. What is the rumor about me? What do they say about him? What do they say about me, Tom?

• 1:21:15Speaker 06

  They're just like, this guy's kinda crazy, you know?

• 1:21:17Bobby Lee?

  Do you find me crazy?

• 1:21:20Speaker 06

  Yeah, I find you crazy in like a fun comedian way.

• 1:21:23Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:21:23Speaker 06

  There's, there's different types of crazy.

• 1:21:25Bobby Lee?

  But I show up on time.

• 1:21:29Bobby Lee?

  I show up on time.

• 1:21:29Speaker 06

  That was a hard laugh.

• 1:21:30Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. I show up on time, I know my lines.

• 1:21:34Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:21:34Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I don't plague on things.

• 1:21:36Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:21:36Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean?

• 1:21:37Speaker 06

  You're a professional.

• 1:21:38Bobby Lee?

  When I say I'm gonna do something, I do it, you know?

• 1:21:40Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:21:41Bobby Lee?

  It's, here's the truth, Tom, if I may. I'm not that crazy.

• 1:21:45Speaker 06

  You're not that crazy?

• 1:21:46Bobby Lee?

  No.

• 1:21:47Speaker 06

  You're, you're a little unpredictable.

• 1:21:48Bobby Lee?

  I'm not that unpredictable. I'm not.

• 1:21:51Speaker 06

  What scale are we using for unpredictability?

• 1:21:54Bobby Lee?

  The standard American scale. Of, of being normal. Pounds.

• 1:21:59Speaker 06

  Of being normal.

• 1:22:00Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well-known. I mean, ask me questions, why I would be, and then maybe I can answer some questions here.

• 1:22:06Speaker 06

  I mean...

• 1:22:07Bobby Lee?

  Like, everyone in the room, see why I'm crazy. Cause I wanna know, when people say that I'm crazy, I wanna go, I don't think I am. But, but, yeah, but let's see if, if I am. I think knowing you, you're very predictable, actually.

• 1:22:18Speaker 05

  I think he's one of the most predictable.

• 1:22:20Speaker 06

  Oh, I see what you mean.

• 1:22:21Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:22:21Speaker 06

  I think he's unpredictable to some...

• 1:22:23Bobby Lee?

  Like, what, look at me like, look at me right now. You knew he was gonna do that.

• 1:22:26Speaker 06

  I did know that.

• 1:22:27Bobby Lee?

  You knew, you knew I was gonna do that.

• 1:22:28Speaker 06

  He's unpredictable, like, he's, what he is is, he's like, he's like jarring to like a first-time person who's never been around this person.

• 1:22:35Bobby Lee?

  Insane.

• 1:22:36Speaker 05

  I would say the unpredictability part is, if you were to ask him the same question, Tuesday and Friday, you would get two different responses. That's where the unpredictability, because everything is like mood-based.

• 1:22:51Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. I shift.

• 1:22:53Speaker 05

  You shift.

• 1:22:53Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:22:54Speaker 05

  So...

• 1:22:54Bobby Lee?

  I'm like a boat in a storm.

• 1:22:57Speaker 05

  Yeah, that's where it's a little bit like, huh? But on Tuesday, you said...

• 1:23:02Speaker 06

  But that's getting into...

• 1:23:04Bobby Lee?

  Into what?

• 1:23:06Speaker 05

  Crazy territory.

• 1:23:07Speaker 06

  Not predictable.

• 1:23:08Bobby Lee?

  That's right, that's right. I guess you're right.

• 1:23:10Speaker 05

  But if you can predict that he's gonna change his mind...

• 1:23:13Speaker 06

  Yes.

• 1:23:13Speaker 05

  So it's basically like amongst friends. It's like Bobby said yes, but you already know by Friday, he'll probably...

• 1:23:20Speaker 06

  He'll say no.

• 1:23:21Speaker 05

  Yeah, if you ask him again, he'll probably... Don't be surprised if he says no.

• 1:23:24Speaker 06

  He is predictably unpredictable, kind of.

• 1:23:27Bobby Lee?

  You know how many times I do a gig at a club that I play for the first time? And during the week, like I do Friday, Saturday, the manager or whoever the book or whoever owns the club will come up to me, and this happens all the time. "Man, we've never had you at the club, but I heard you were crazy, but you're pretty normal."

• 1:23:46Speaker 06

  Really?

• 1:23:47Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, and I go, "What do you mean? People think I'm crazy."

• 1:23:50Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:23:51Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean? I've never been crazy.

• 1:23:54Speaker 06

  I've seen this twice, by the way.

• 1:23:55Bobby Lee?

  You've seen it, yourself.

• 1:23:56Speaker 06

  I've seen it from two different managers.

• 1:23:57Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, say that. Where they go, "We heard, but you're not." And I go, "Yeah, cuz I'm not."

• 1:24:03Speaker 06

  Yeah, but I think when people say crazy about you, that's the thing, is there's kind of a scale for crazy. So like, for Bobby crazy, it's like, if you're just expecting someone to go like, "Hello." "Nice to meet you." And just sit down, and like, he is this wild guy.

• 1:24:22Bobby Lee?

  No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Because I think you're a part of the problem. You know what I mean? And that's why I'm so hostile towards you sometimes, okay? Don't... See that face you're doing right now? It's fucking mean mugging.

• 1:24:35Speaker 06

  I'm mean mugging?

• 1:24:36Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, you're mean mugging me, dude, all right? So here's the thing, okay? I don't go, "These social norms..." You know what I mean? Like, you should lock eyes with somebody, shake their hand and go, "Oh, how are you?"

• 1:24:47Speaker 06

  But I'm saying that...

• 1:24:48Bobby Lee?

  I don't do that because that's ridiculous.

• 1:24:50Speaker 06

  But that's my point.

• 1:24:51Bobby Lee?

  Sometimes you go, "Bum, bum, bum," you know what I mean?

• 1:24:52Speaker 06

  Right.

• 1:24:53Bobby Lee?

  Sometimes you go, "You can see me? You can't see me."

• 1:24:54Speaker 06

  Right, which means that you're not an actual crazy person, but you're kinda crazy to somebody who's used to like, somebody just...

• 1:25:03Bobby Lee?

  Some Christian.

• 1:25:04Speaker 06

  Right.

• 1:25:04Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. "I went to church. Wow, this Asian guy's kinda crazy."

• 1:25:08Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:25:09Bobby Lee?

  In that way.

• 1:25:10Speaker 06

  That's exactly right.

• 1:25:11Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, maybe in that way.

• 1:25:13Speaker 06

  Yes.

• 1:25:13Bobby Lee?

  Maybe in that way, but like, yeah.

• 1:25:14Speaker 06

  To Mormons, you're crazy.

• 1:25:15Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, do I rip a fart at a sermon? Yeah.

• 1:25:19Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:25:19Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, and I'll laugh because I'm uncomfortable.

• 1:25:21Speaker 06

  And that's also funny.

• 1:25:22Bobby Lee?

  It's also funny.

• 1:25:23Speaker 06

  It is funny.

• 1:25:23Speaker 05

  What I found really interesting about you is that not too long ago, you dated a praise leader. You know, the head of the church who does, who sings on stage, the worship leader? Yeah, remember?

• 1:25:38Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I do remember. What's your point?

• 1:25:40Speaker 05

  My point is even the Christians think he's not that.

• 1:25:43Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, because I'm all about God.

• 1:25:45Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:25:45Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean? I am God. We're all God. No, no, no, no. No, what I'm saying is, no, no, we are all God. God's within all of us.

• 1:25:53Speaker 06

  He is.

• 1:25:54Bobby Lee?

  Right? And I just exude that energy.

• 1:25:56Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:25:56Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean? That purity.

• 1:25:57Speaker 06

  Who do you?

• 1:25:58Bobby Lee?

  You know what I mean? The Spirit. Excuse me?

• 1:26:00Speaker 06

  Do you have a God?

• 1:26:01Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, I believe in a higher power. I don't have a traditional Western religion God.

• 1:26:06Speaker 06

  Okay.

• 1:26:06Bobby Lee?

  Jesus, I know you do. Yeah. Oh, what?

• 1:26:10Speaker 06

  I mean, yeah.

• 1:26:10Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, okay.

• 1:26:11Speaker 06

  JC, right?

• 1:26:12Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. Well, that's some, to some, yes. To some, yes, me, no. You know what I mean? But, um, listen, I was there when he died. I mean, not there when he was.

• 1:26:22Speaker 06

  This guy thinks he's God. When my son died.

• 1:26:26Bobby Lee?

  No, no, what I'm saying. No, but I was in, you know, I mean, Jerusalem. You know, and I saw the slab where he died.

• 1:26:33Speaker 06

  How was it? He was with Steve Byrne.

• 1:26:35Bobby Lee?

  It's a regular slab.

• 1:26:36Speaker 06

  It's just a slab.

• 1:26:37Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, it's a regular slab. If you see one slab, there's no difference.

• 1:26:40Speaker 06

  How was Jerusalem?

• 1:26:41Bobby Lee?

  What?

• 1:26:41Speaker 06

  How was Jerusalem?

• 1:26:42Bobby Lee?

  Beautiful place.

• 1:26:43Speaker 06

  Really?

• 1:26:43Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah. I got yelled at a couple of times.

• 1:26:45Speaker 06

  For?

• 1:26:46Bobby Lee?

  Well, I mean, one time, um, I guess maybe in this way I'm crazy, but it's like.

• 1:26:52Speaker 06

  Look, I jumped on the slab. I jumped on the slab.

• 1:26:54Bobby Lee?

  No, I didn't jump on the slab. I think in this way, I guess in this way, people would perceive to be like, you're crazy. But it's more out of ignorance. Like, I don't know. I know what's going on.

• 1:27:05Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:27:05Bobby Lee?

  So, you know, we had this private tour. I don't know what's going on. I don't even want to be there. You know what I mean? I was tired.

• 1:27:11Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:27:11Bobby Lee?

  It's one of those early morning outings of like, you gotta go to this, you know what I mean? Um, not highlight, what do you call it? Um, a historical site.

• 1:27:20Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:27:20Bobby Lee?

  Right? And I smoke. Sometimes I smoke.

• 1:27:24Speaker 06

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:27:25Bobby Lee?

  And we're in this room, right? And I lit up a cigarette. I'm smoking inside this room, right? And they go, can you not do that? I go, why? There's no windows. Right? And they go, this is where the 12th supper was.

• 1:27:39Speaker 06

  The 12th supper. The last supper.

• 1:27:40Speaker 05

  The last supper.

• 1:27:41Speaker 06

  Out of 12.

• 1:27:41Bobby Lee?

  There's 12 of people though.

• 1:27:42Speaker 06

  Yeah, this is the apocalypse. You smoked a cigarette where the last supper was.

• 1:27:47Bobby Lee?

  The last supper was.

• 1:27:47Speaker 06

  That's insane.

• 1:27:48Bobby Lee?

  And then I put it out.

• 1:27:49Speaker 06

  Even the Muslims, what the heck?

• 1:27:50Bobby Lee?

  And then I put it out in the room, and then I got yelled at.

• 1:27:52Speaker 06

  You did one of these, like?

• 1:27:53Bobby Lee?

  I didn't even know about it. They had the last supper here? Yeah, that was me there. You get me?

• 1:27:59Speaker 06

  Chinaman hat, isn't that?

• 1:28:00Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

• 1:28:02Speaker 06

  You're wearing a little, are you wearing yarmulke?

• 1:28:03Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. I hope my note is still in that wall. I wrote a note in that wall. Yeah, yeah.

• 1:28:08Speaker 05

  Um, another thing that maybe I find a little crazy is, would you pee on your own plants in your property?

• 1:28:17Speaker 05

  Like, you have bathrooms in your home, right?

• 1:28:19Speaker 06

  I have a bathroom.

• 1:28:20Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 1:28:20Bobby Lee?

  Well, who said that? Who does that?

• 1:28:22Speaker 05

  Every day.

• 1:28:23Bobby Lee?

  Who said, who does that?

• 1:28:24Speaker 05

  You pee on your driveway, and you just let the pee roll down. And I don't understand, like...

• 1:28:29Speaker 06

  Why do you pee on the driveway?

• 1:28:30Bobby Lee?

  Why not?

• 1:28:31Speaker 06

  It's predictable. It's your house.

• 1:28:32Bobby Lee?

  It's my house. I bought the property.

• 1:28:34Speaker 05

  But you're killing your own plants.

• 1:28:35Bobby Lee?

  The forward plants, which is what I call them.

• 1:28:38Speaker 06

  Forward?

• 1:28:39Bobby Lee?

  The forward. The ones in front of the house.

• 1:28:41Speaker 06

  Forward?

• 1:28:41Speaker 05

  Forward.

• 1:28:42Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:28:42Speaker 06

  Who the fuck says forward?

• 1:28:45Bobby Lee?

  I do.

• 1:28:46Speaker 06

  That's crazy.

• 1:28:47Bobby Lee?

  I do.

• 1:28:47Speaker 06

  And those are backward ones?

• 1:28:48Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, there's backward plants too. Yeah, those, I don't pee as much.

• 1:28:52Speaker 06

  This is why some people say he's crazy.

• 1:28:54Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:28:55Bobby Lee?

  What, because I pee on a plant? How is that crazy?

• 1:28:57Speaker 06

  You said forward plants.

• 1:28:58Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:28:58Speaker 05

  Because of...

• 1:28:59Speaker 06

  No, no, not a human being alive.

• 1:29:01Bobby Lee?

  I know, but what, I'm searching for the word, but I commit.

• 1:29:04Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:29:04Bobby Lee?

  That's another thing I want to say to you, Segura, okay? Is that sometimes I don't know what the word is, but I commit to whatever's coming out of my mouth.

• 1:29:12Speaker 06

  I know, it's why you're hilarious.

• 1:29:13Bobby Lee?

  And, and, yeah, so that's the thing. But that doesn't necessarily mean that I'm crazy.

• 1:29:16Speaker 06

  I, I don't think you're actually crazy. I think you have, like, there's, you know, everyone's talking about the things that are kind of crazy about you. And that's why people go, he's kind of crazy.

• 1:29:24Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, but I, I don't view the...

• 1:29:25Speaker 06

  And then people...

• 1:29:27Bobby Lee?

  I'm eccentric.

• 1:29:28Speaker 06

  Yeah, you're, you're an eccentric person.

• 1:29:30Bobby Lee?

  I think that, I'm a little eccentric.

• 1:29:31Speaker 05

  I just, uh, read or heard about a story that could have happened to you this since you had a booger wall when you grew up, where, when you were growing up, right?

• 1:29:41Bobby Lee?

  Who didn't have a booger wall?

• 1:29:43Speaker 05

  I know, I actually want, want to ask you guys if everyone had a booger wall, is that, was that the norm?

• 1:29:48Speaker 06

  I had a booger couch.

• 1:29:49Speaker 05

  I had, I feel like a booger square, maybe?

• 1:29:52Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:29:52Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:29:52Speaker 05

  But not a whole wall, I know yours was an entire wall.

• 1:29:55Bobby Lee?

  Some have couches and some have squares.

• 1:29:57Speaker 05

  So this kid... So this kid had an entire booger wall for years and years and years, so much so that it had valleys and peaks and they were like calcified and hard. And one, one day apparently he scratched his back up against the booger wall, it caused the scratch and then it caused a staph infection that almost killed him. And turned into like, he turns fully septic from his booger wall and I thought about you.

• 1:30:23Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:30:24Speaker 06

  Yeah, that's cool that that made her think about it.

• 1:30:28Bobby Lee?

  That sounds about right.

• 1:30:29Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:30:29Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:30:30Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:30:30Bobby Lee?

  But I wouldn't scratch my back because I have a scratcher. So that's there.

• 1:30:33Speaker 05

  No, he didn't intentionally scratch.

• 1:30:35Bobby Lee?

  Right?

• 1:30:36Speaker 05

  He scraped, he scraped against it by accident.

• 1:30:39Bobby Lee?

  Oh, by accident?

• 1:30:40Speaker 05

  By accident, yeah.

• 1:30:41Bobby Lee?

  It wasn't like that, my booger wall.

• 1:30:43Speaker 05

  I was there for the booger wall, it was like that.

• 1:30:45Bobby Lee?

  Where, where, where was the booger wall, lady?

• 1:30:47Speaker 05

  In the Beechwood apartment, you had a designated booger wall.

• 1:30:50Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, but how much booger was on there?

• 1:30:51Speaker 05

  Lots.

• 1:30:53Bobby Lee?

  Oh, okay.

• 1:30:54Speaker 05

  It was like selectite.

• 1:30:55Bobby Lee?

  And that's my bad.

• 1:30:57Speaker 06

  What did you think of the booger wall when you saw it?

• 1:30:59Speaker 05

  I don't know, it was just like, okay, this is him, he's not hiding it.

• 1:31:02Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:31:02Bobby Lee?

  I have other elements on those walls too.

• 1:31:05Speaker 05

  I know.

• 1:31:05Bobby Lee?

  I have an earwax wall.

• 1:31:07Speaker 05

  Ew.

• 1:31:08Bobby Lee?

  Oh no, well, that's worse than booger?

• 1:31:11Speaker 06

  You had an earwax wall?

• 1:31:13Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, here is one thing that I did have that I've never shared with you, because I was thinking about it the other day. And I'm kind of mad at your mom about it, but it's fine.

• 1:31:21Speaker 05

  Because she's cleaning your, your flashlights, yeah.

• 1:31:24Bobby Lee?

  No, no, it's not a flashlight, it's not a flashlight.

• 1:31:26Speaker 06

  Your mom was?

• 1:31:27Speaker 05

  She didn't know that what they were.

• 1:31:28Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, she didn't know what it was.

• 1:31:32Bobby Lee?

  I didn't know what it was, but um, so you know, mungy, you know what mungy is?

• 1:31:37Speaker 05

  Yeah, the dirt when you.

• 1:31:39Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. You have mungy?

• 1:31:40Speaker 06

  I mean.

• 1:31:42Speaker 05

  When you scrub your arm in the shower like this.

• 1:31:44Bobby Lee?

  What do you mean?

• 1:31:45Speaker 05

  It's the rolled dirt that comes off.

• 1:31:47Speaker 06

  Okay.

• 1:31:47Speaker 05

  The dead skin.

• 1:31:48Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, the dead skin. I had a mungy ball.

• 1:31:50Speaker 06

  Holy shit.

• 1:31:51Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. So what I would do is I would take a shower, right? Then I let the skin dry a little bit, so you can get more friction in the mungy.

• 1:31:58Speaker 06

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:31:59Bobby Lee?

  And all these black, you know what I mean?

• 1:32:00Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:32:01Bobby Lee?

  Right? And I thought to myself, every time I'm in the bath, I'm gonna do this, my whole body, and see how big the ball can get, right? The ball became this big, solid mungy ball, right? And I just put it in the corner of the ledge of the window.

• 1:32:13Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:32:13Bobby Lee?

  And then your mom threw it away.

• 1:32:15Speaker 06

  And you're like, I don't know what, people call me crazy.

• 1:32:20Speaker 06

  What's up?

• 1:32:20Bobby Lee?

  No, but that's boredom. I get bored.

• 1:32:22Speaker 06

  I, I, okay.

• 1:32:23Bobby Lee?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:32:23Speaker 06

  It is eccentric, it's an eccentric.

• 1:32:25Bobby Lee?

  It's an eccentric and a little weird thing, yeah. I don't eat it, you know what I mean? I think that would be crazy.

• 1:32:29Speaker 06

  Was he like, your fucking mom threw away my mungy?

• 1:32:31Speaker 05

  Yeah, my mungy ball. I'm sorry, she probably didn't realize what she had done.

• 1:32:35Bobby Lee?

  Yeah. Anyway, so, so you have your show.

• 1:32:40Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:32:40Bobby Lee?

  I think during the production would be hard, man.

• 1:33:06Bobby Lee?

  Yeah.

• 1:33:06Speaker 06

  But I would maybe at the end, when I have a couple of free days, yeah.

• 1:33:09Bobby Lee?
