Mori, Mori, oh, ooh, you know what I mean?
Because she was dating Maury at the time.
Maybe too sexual, but um.
Dating Maury.
That's right in our way of like,
married 45 years. That's a fan favorite already.
The first time you ever even paid attention to me,
because I was wearing a Moncler t-shirt.
I was wearing a, I was, I was wearing.
What does that mean?
So, let me ask you about the wrong missing.
Oh my.
Okay.
Did I, that day.
Yeah.
Uh oh.
Okay, that day, did I do a bad job?
That's a great question.
Okay.
Okay, so to start the show, Diana, I'm going to bore the shit out of you with a story
about gambling, about fantasy football, about draft Kings, which is not an ad.
I can be critical.
I can be real.
Okay.
Is it okay to say I'm all ears?
Yeah.
Okay.
I'm all ears. You're Okay. I'm all ears.
You're all ears and plants can hear things.
So I think your plant is going to like this one.
Don't make fun of.
I'm not. I'm saying plants.
Gertrude is very sensitive.
Gertrude has a mind of her own.
Yeah.
I don't appreciate.
No, I know. No one's going to.
You're saying stuff about Gertrude.
Sorry. go ahead.
So you get on this thing, it's 4th of July, it's a little earlier to do fantasy football.
Boring, boring, boring.
But they have a best ball thing, even more boring, where you just,
you do a draft online.
Right.
Now the only thing you need to know is you pick a full team.
It goes randomly 12 people and then you have a team and you play it over the
year or over the season.
Fine.
Fine.
Boring.
Yes.
Interesting.
No, I'm not going to judge it yet, but yeah, not yet.
So I say, oh, best ball.
I'm going to try this one where you pick and you know, you join it's 12 random people.
So it's so early that it goes, it doesn't start right away.
It goes, oh, you have three people out of 12.
So you're in the waiting room and I'm like,
well, when does it stop?
So I check later and it's four out of 12.
So I check later and it's the third
round of the draft.
I'm like, oh no, okay.
I missed it.
So you can put it on the speed of 30
seconds in between,
which is kind of normal.
It moves quickly.
You got to pick.
No dilly dally.
Or they go the slow one, which takes eight hours.
And I said, I'll take an eight hour day,
because I missed two of these drafts.
I got in late.
So I said, okay, I'm gonna do one more,
but I want to be there at the beginning. So if it goes slow, it takes 10 minutes.
I can figure it out.
Cause I don't get notified.
I'm following.
I'm following.
You're sort of following.
I mean, I haven't done this, but I get the gist.
Go ahead.
So I sign up, not the fast.
I go to the slow one.
It doesn't even start.
It's going to wait till the next morning.
They don't, they have like 11 out of 12.
I'm like, ah, so it shuts off for the night.
It wakes up.
It says you're drafting your first person, the first round.
I'm like, I got it.
It's my turn.
I got it.
I turn it on, on my turn.
Okay.
Great.
Perfect.
Draft my crafty fucking draft.
Who am I going to get?
Who?
It's so crazy.
What's he going to do?
He zigs when he thinks he's going to zag.
So I pick a guy, I look later, it says
seven more minutes.
I'm like, I gotta wait for this next guy to pick.
This is a slow one, you know?
Anyway, I go to breakfast.
I look, it says seven minutes.
I go, is this broken?
No Dana.
What I wasn't realizing is it's seven hours.
When it said eight hour draft, it meant eight hours in between every effing pick.
So I was, I picked first and then I go 22 later because it goes backwards and snakes it.
Anyway, my next pick could be at the beginning of the season because that's so much time.
That's so much time. So that was two days ago. We're right now in the ninth pick.
Okay. So what do you want from me?
Here's what he want from me.
Are you losing money or going to get money?
No, you're just here to be like baffled and shocked.
I have a gambling story that's a lot simpler to understand.
It's probably better because this one's already over and no one even knows why I told them.
I think the people who are into fantasy football would be like, holy shit, man.
Yeah, they're gonna be like, you read it wrong, but no one can imagine it's that long.
So for years, I'm playing the New Orleans Hotel in Vegas, great showroom, 800 seats.
And I guess he doesn't mind saying the name, he's a friend of mine, Mark Pitta.
He's my opening act and he's really into sports and he's really into sports gambling.
So a lot of weekends I would kind of play around with it. Niners buy
this. I do the spread, really simple things, hand it to them. And I usually would lose or make nothing.
You know, he would, he would obey my orders. Here's 500 bucks. Here's my picks. And every
single time he would do what I said. So the last time I had my whole thing and I said, so the last time I had my whole thing and I said, here's the money.
Maybe there's a hundred thousand dollars.
Here's my hunches.
Yeah, just bet on those.
And I saw all of them come true.
I went, holy shit, holy shit.
You're going to be rich.
Ah. And then he came in and goes, I switched it out in the last minute.
You bet on different things.
But before that, he'd done everything perfect for me.
It's so sick making, especially if you're a gambler.
Okay, here's another 30 second one.
I mean, I'm playing Harrah's in Tahoe.
I'm doing slots.
So I'm always putting in the max, you know?
And then finally I was down to like two 50 cent pieces.
I don't know what it was and I hit it.
And then I hit the jackpot.
Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me.
And I would have won like 10,000, but I won 2000
and I'm in Harris and I looked up
and there was a jewelry shop.
So I took the money and just bought my wife a necklace.
Oh, that's nice.
Mwah.
That's like a story that's like what a great guy you are.
Let's get fan letters on which gambling story
was more accessible.
Yeah, no, yours was gonna really get the ire of gamblers
that Pitta did not do.
By the way, I don't blame Mark Pitta.
There was, you know, I mean, I don't know why he did it.
He'll hear this and text me.
He was trying to help you going,
you don't know what you're doing, I'm gonna help you.
He was trying to help me.
So, and I didn't lose that much money, you know,
for the big picture.
So hi, Mark, and that was my Mark Pitta story.
So I don't know, I've met Bobby Lee
at the Comedy Store or whatever, super nice guy,
but I don't know him like you do. So I don't really know I've met Bobby Lee at the Comedy Store, whatever. Super nice guy, but I don't know him like you do.
So I don't really know what to expect with this interview.
Well, I love Bobby Lee and he's very well liked over there.
And from the comedians, the audience, there's a couple of people that really
get him going, meaning get the crowd going.
Bobby's one of them.
He's on there a lot.
I see his name on the store.
The store has really good lineups.
So I did the comedy store a few nights before now.
We're talking to him.
So, uh, we'll talk about that.
And then there's just a lot of interesting
things.
He did a part in the wrong missy.
He did a part in bus boys.
Uh, so, uh, we just have a lot of stupid stuff to
go over and he's just,
he's got a very fun thing about him and a fun podcast with Andrew. He's always on Instagram with some clip.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So anyway, let's, let's see what happens.
Here's Bobby Lee.
You do vocal exercises.
What do you guys do here on this?
I've never done it before.
How many podcasts have you done? One million? I did two yesterday, one Sunday. That's a lot. Do you always get asked at the Comedy Store? Everyone asks me. I say no, 90% of the time.
But not for this one. Oh my God. This was like number one on my list here, baby.
No, listen. Come on. Top 10 though, right? I feel like- I feel like-
Smartless got the numbers.
What are you doing here?
I know.
We don't know what this thing is.
Yeah, the office girls and then Smartless and now this.
This is third of them.
Have you done those?
I mean, I know Jenna.
No, I'm not.
I was never a part of the office.
Have you done the office?
I don't think so.
Okay.
Well, we had an office girl.
We had Jenna on.
We couldn't get two of them.
We weren't big enough.
We didn't have enough downloads. I like your Oasis-y hair.
That's pretty nice.
It's pretty cool, isn't it?
Yeah, it's pretty cool.
I'm from the 60s, man.
My dad gave me a crew cut in 1965
when I wanted to have a Paul McCartney haircut.
And I said, I'll show you when I'm 70.
I'll look like an old Beatle.
Ram, my favorite Paul McCartney album.
The very first one.
You know that one? Oh yeah, I know all his
songs. I like his solo. I'm a big fan of his. What about 1985? Is that on there?
1985? I don't know what 1985 is. We can go back to the 60s. They're called the Beatles. Ever heard of
them? Wait, you didn't even know Ringo played the drums when we interviewed McCartney.
Was McCartney here?
No, 1985.
McCartney was not here, but was on a Zoom.
Oh, really?
Did you get McCartney?
What?
Tiger Belly.
Tiger...
I'm not flaxseed.
What, what, what?
Fuck you!
Dana, you think that I could get McCartney?
The biggest guy...
You know what?
Let me say something, right?
The biggest guy, we got the guitarist from the Pixies,
Joey Santiago.
Sure, can we Google it?
Yeah, go ahead.
And then we got Paul Banks from Interpol, the lead singer.
Okay.
But I can't go above that.
Swing and a miss, I don't know either of those people.
You got Bert Kreischer with his shirt on though.
You get Theo Von, have you gotten Theo though?
We've gotten Theo a couple of times.
Okay, well, Theo's bigger than McCartney.
Yeah, okay, in certain worlds.
Yeah, we're still trying to get Theo.
Yeah.
Well, we are.
We've been on Theo.
No, we're waiting for Theo for the movie to come out.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, the movie.
How's that going?
Oh, you're in the movie.
So anyway, what else can we talk about?
Oh, thank you for remembering.
That's right.
You son of a bitch.
Yeah, I was in your movie.
Did you give him a good line?
Did he have a good show?
He was good.
No, he's good.
It's such a good vibe when you come on.
I know you think I'm going to make fun of you. I'm not gonna everyone loves you
I think you're the most popular comedian. You're very popular. I am well, I know you can't handle these
Compliments are horrible. Yeah, I go into my ancestry when I get compliments give me another compliment
You crushed to at Comedy Store.
You've seen it?
I thought I was getting another.
Oh, that? Okay, good.
But you know what? I haven't had the kind of career.
I've always wanted to have a career like you two.
I just, I miss the Hollywood bubble.
I had to get my fan base through the internet.
Well, was it-
Says eight years on MADtv.
MADtv though.
Well, admit it, when you were on SNL,
and you guys looked down on MADtv.
Yeah, but whoops, I didn't say that.
Why would anyone say that?
No, no, no, no, be honest.
When you looked at MADtv as like, you know, your bitch.
No, I saw a chart that said seven years on MADtv
is like six months on SNL.
And I think it sort of checked.
No, I can't see.
Hi.
No, you did a good job on MADtv.
Yeah, I remember all your sketches.
A photo from a clip.
They were very funny.
The sketches that Bobby Lee did on MADtv.
He played an Asian character. He played an Asian character.
He played 1000 Asian characters.
He was the best at it.
When you played Connie Chung.
OK, can you do a little bit?
Can I just say something?
Is that your signature?
This is what happened.
I called my... I didn't have an agent and I called my manager.
You had an agent. I called my, I didn't have an agent and I called my manager. You had an agent.
I called my dad, my agent. And he too worked at Gersh. It was great. But no,
not, no. So I call him.
Bobby. Does he go, Bobby? I saw your act and it's fucking hilarious.
Right. Okay. Yeah. Anyway. Um, so I called my manager and I go,
how come I can't get an agent? He said, hi, your agent. It's not, it's hard.
You know, this is the late, late nineties. So then agent? He said, hi, you're an agent. It's hard, you know? This is the late 90s.
So then I go, well, can I get an audition?
And she, so she, am I boring you guys already?
No, for, I ain't living color.
We're trying to-
I'm on bad TV, dude.
We're trying not to talk over.
We get a lot of criticism.
I'm going, shut the fuck up and listen.
Let me just finish my point here.
I wanna hear it.
So then I go, can I get an audition?
And she goes, well, I do represent a lady
by the name of Lauren Dombrowski.
Oh.
Never heard of her?
No.
Trying to help your story.
Billy Dombrowski, who was a short stop for the Dodgers.
And then walked in the room,
none other than Bill Squankmeyer.
Yeah.
And I was like, let's go to the tape.
Yeah, let's look at a clip.
Anyway, and she goes, and she produces MAD.
Okay.
So on a Saturday.
MAD we call it.
Go ahead.
MAD TV.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And so on a Saturday, they said that you could do a practice audition with the casting director,
but you're not going to get the show.
So I went on a Saturday and I'm in my mind the night, because they wanted three impressions
and I'm not an impressionist.
Right. Right. So what can I do? I can do my dad. night because they wanted three impressions and I'm not an impressionist, right?
Right. So what can I do? I can do my dad. So that's kim jong il
That's funny. Hello. I'm kim jong il. No one knows if that's right or wrong
So that's what I did. Well, that's genius always say the name of the guy you're doing
It's 90 of it. It's 90 but that that is a funny voice. Yeah. Thank you so much. Yeah
Everybody welcome to my show. You know, I did that.
Yeah.
And they were like, yay, right?
I just went-
Wait, you did them with a talk show.
It's even funnier.
I think I wrote it in a talk show
because of the environment.
I like that.
And then the second audition was Connie Chung.
And?
All I did was-
Connie Chung.
Hello, I'm Connie.
I'm Connie Chung. And they're like this.
Wow.
90% is saying the name.
Mori, Mori, oh, oh.
You know what I mean?
Because she was dating Mori at that time.
Maybe too sexual.
But.
Dating.
That's right in our way.
Like married 45 years.
That's a fan.
Favor already.
Exit that please.
So then I go, I just did.
Good evening, I'm Connie Chung.
That's not bad.
Yeah, and I did sort of like a news castery kind of thing.
Yeah.
And the third one was Chow Yun Fat.
Chow Yun Fat.
Chow Yun Fat.
Who's that again?
You know Chow Yun Fat?
Chow Yun Fat?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's not a dish at a restaurant.
I know the name though.
What?
No, it's like a Jackie Chan type character.
When you say Jackie Chan, you put your arms like that.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
What does that take, Dana?
What does that take?
I don't know what we're doing.
He's doing karate.
I know you wanna do a high high high.
But that's fucked up.
Oh, like a Jackie Chan character?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, I was doing karate chops, I didn't even know it.
He goes, Bobby, then he goes, no, I never thought that.
This isn't racist. I'm an impressionist. The more you do a Chinese accent, no, I never thought that. This isn't racist.
I'm an impressionist.
The more you do a Chinese accent,
I'm gonna slip into it.
Oh, okay, oh, is that what it, no, you keep doing it.
He's trying to stay that.
At the end of the show.
He likes it so much.
Okay, okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I love Bruce Lee.
Xiao Yang best.
So, Xiao Yang Fat.
Is a director. No, no, he was in Pouching Tiger Chow Yun Fat. So Chow Yun Fat. Is a director?
No, no.
He was in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
Chow Yun Fat was an actor.
He's a lead, okay.
Right, so I saw him on an E,
you remember back in the,
it was E?
E Channel.
An interview with him.
And you know how sometimes Chinese people
over pronounce their English.
I like it already, yeah.
Well, you go,
hello, my name is Chow Yun Fat. You're right. And so I did that. I like it already, yeah. Well, here you go. Hello, my name is Chao Yong Fat.
You're right.
And so I did that.
And he did a lot of, every time he would say a line in this interview, he would do a different
bodily position.
So he would go, hello, my name is Chao Yong Fat.
And he would move his body.
So I explained that in the audition, right?
So every line I would do a different position.
That's a different position. By the end of my little thing,
I was in the corner room backwards on my hands at Cheyenne Fat because I thought that would be a
funny bet. And it kind of worked and they kept calling me back and that's how I got it.
You know what's funny? Tricky impressions like that. I wasn't impressed, that's what I got on.
And so I didn't even have to audition fake, you know, just make one up.
But to have to do them and you come up with those three
that are just funny and weird ways, you know.
You have to find the end.
It is smart though.
Okey-dokey.
That's what he wants to say.
Yeah, do another Asian thing.
He wants to say it.
I want to tell you a story about,
related to what you just did.
First of all, accuracy means nothing.
Third of all, everything, or did I say second of all?
All of those were funny.
So Steve Carell comes in, auditions for the Dana Carvey show.
Whoops, metaphorical.
You got an ashtray?
Anyway, it made seven episodes.
He's like, put it up.
But he goes, well, I don't really do impressions.
So he was doing it in New York, in the room,
with me and Lucy Kay, Robert Smigel.
Didn't kill and then we go to LA audition people again.
So he comes out and he does he does the Pope.
Yeah, just that was like I didn't need an accuracy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was fucking funny.
So I'm not surprised you got hired.
I think the point is to make everyone in the room
be yourself and make everyone laugh.
I mean, that's the point.
What did you do with the nerves of it?
Did you just not have nerves?
So at the time I was living with eight people
in a two-bedroom apartment in Silver Lake.
We were like sardines.
Ed Carney people?
Is that kind of stereotypical?
No, no, no, no, go ahead.
Go ahead.
Eight people, I don't know what was.
Go down this line of thinking.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
I like this line of thinking.
I can't believe anything.
Tina, please.
So, you know what I mean, we were in a ship?
Is that what you're saying?
Right?
Like an Asian-Amistad-like kind of situation.
Is that what you're saying?
Yes. No, no, no. So we man, you know, from the Jackass, the Little Dwarves. Right? Like an Asian-Ama style kind of situation. Is that what you're saying?
Yes.
No, no, no.
So we man, you know, from Jackass, a little dwarf.
This is out of casting.
So we man's there.
Who else?
There's eight people in this house.
This is the real world.
So we had this girl named Sophie who was, she was a meth addict.
Okay.
I mean, we had a homeless guy.
I'm not kidding you.
We had an actor named Kalisto, never made it.
And then we had, my brother Steve lived in my closet.
He made like a little bamboo.
We call those people gay now.
They're like.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
So I was living with all these people
in this Silver Lake, Sanborn,
on the street Sanborn, Silver Lake.
And I had to get out.
When you have no money, right?
I had no car. And in my mind, I'm like, when
you go into an audition, especially when you're desperate, you do everything you can. I think
that's what was my...
Right. I think they also underplayed it. They said, this is a practice audition. And then
you go to the real one and you're like, so this isn't as much pressure.
So yeah, so this is what happened. So the first time I went in, thank you for a day.
That's a good trick.
I mean, that's a good trick for you to relax.
At first they were like, we want Taryn Killam.
Sure.
Do you know Taryn?
Yeah, very well.
But Taryn was on the podcast.
Back then he was in high school.
He was dating Amanda Bynes back then.
You know, she went a little, ooh.
And great actress, but.
No, we understood that.
Yeah, yeah, we enough. We understood that.
Yeah, yeah.
And the funny farm.
That's what you always say with the whistle.
Is that guy gay?
It's a thing, right?
Yeah, yeah. Do you do that?
Or I do a wink maybe.
What do you do?
Is that guy better?
I think I'm going to go with who who.
I can't whistle.
So I'll go who who.
No, listen.
I'm fine with that.
Take it.
I had a guy talk to me in a bar and I didn't know he's gay because he had a, he would always
wink like it was a twitch.
So I go, you married?
He goes, yeah.
I go, but you like women?
He goes, of course.
And I go, well, it looks like he's flirting with you.
You don't want to get naked with me. He goes, of course. And I go, well, it looks like he's flirting with you.
You don't want to get naked with me.
He goes, of course I don't.
I go, that one was too big.
That wasn't a twitch.
That was a little too big.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And if I was a director, I would say cut
and I would say, maybe do it again.
I said, that's all I got.
Okay, okay.
Well, whatever, move on.

Sunday at 9 p.m. Eastern on MSNBC.
I went on a Saturday and the thing was Nicole Garcia, the
captain goes, you're not going to get it.
Cause I think they really want Taryn.
They're going to see everybody, but let's just practice.
And at the end of it, she goes, you know what?
Come back next Saturday.
Okay.
So I came back the next Saturday, no pressure, but the pressure
started is when then I started going during the week.
Callbacks?
And then people were there.
Oh, sickening.
But then at that point I had already done it
a couple of times, she had given me notes.
And then it gets to a point where it's just between you
and it was just between me and Taryn.
So we're at Fox, you know what I mean?
It's not like New York.
And then you make a deal.
I'm a little confused with the numbers.
But Bobby, because Taryn was on SNL. No'm a little confused with the numbers. But Bobby.
Because Terran was on SNL.
No, not yet.
Before. Dana.
That's what I mean.
So it's 90 what?
Sorry, Bobby.
I'm a numbers guy.
What?
90 what?
Wait, it was probably 2000.
2000.
Yes.
He wasn't on yet.
So he went there first.
You said he was in like-
Wait, let me ask you something.
I'm sorry, David.
All right?
Well, why would I lie about it?
That was why I was so curious.
Bobby came in as wild story.
Bobby making this up.
I could have said Gerard Butler.
I mean, like...
This is the first I found out that Terran Killiam
is that weird.
Senior in high school, folks.
I mean, he's just out of diapers right now,
and he's almost on television.
But Bobby Lee beat him out at the final thing.
So you're old enough to know Carson.
That's rare these days.
Huge fan.
But listen to this.
Flip Wilson, I know too.
Okay, let's move on, but great talent.
The devil.
Hey, sugar, come on now, sugar.
The devil made me do it.
My mama gonna take you down.
Don't you disappoint your mama.
You were gonna flip, right?
Don't you disappoint.
I never met him.
He's doing clubs.
Yeah, you know what, I love your part in fucking,
what's so funny, why you laughing?
Is it a part in something?
Yeah, what?
Yeah, you were in, they're redoing it, remaking it.
Let me get it, okay?
Yeah.
About the band.
Not Spinal Tap. Spinal Tap.
Oh, Spinal Tap. You were in Spinal Tap.
That was the mind reader. Incredible.
With Billy Crystal.
Okay. Thank you.
Was he not in it? He was.
No line. I wasn't.
No line. And yet I went, that's Dana Carvey.
Yep. How did you know?
Because I was in Whiteface.
Even...
Woof. Yeah. Can we cut tape in white face. Can we cut tape?
Not cool.
Can we cut tape?
Not cool.
Yeah.
Can we just cut tape?
Bobby, I want to go back to the story everyone kind of faded out on.
When you were auditioning for whatever show, and one of the scary things,
and I did like pilots and stuff like that, is when you get to the final audition,
you go in
A room. Yeah, and you sign how much you will make on your contract you sign everything
Yeah, so you can't get the part and then try to jack them for more. Right, right
So so you still need it so they've got you by the ball. So you sign it
That's a sweaty sickening thing because then you go if you come out of that room and you got it
You get this money you got a deal. If not, they rip it up. It's so horrifying.
It's horrifying, especially when you're young,
you have nothing.
You have no, you have, you have, you, you,
you have to accept what they give you.
You might get 10 grand, 30 grand.
So there was this girl, this is a real story.
There was, I can't say her name.
Maybe I will.
Ann Margaret.
Maybe I will.
What, what, she's Scandinavian?
Good night, it's all I got.
Oh. Maybe I will. Maybe I will. Maybe I will. No, no, she's Scandinavian? Good night, that's all I got. Maybe I win.
Maybe I win.
So I remember, so we're about to test.
There was another woman who I knew from the comedy store.
She goes, I ain't.
And based on her, this is the way she talked.
I'm not trying to get canceled here.
She goes, I ain't signing that in the fucking month.
Oh really?
She was white. What? get canceled here. She said, I ain't signing that. I don't know, fuck a mother. Oh, really?
She was white.
What?
Yes.
She was white.
She was definitely white.
It was Mississippi.
No, no, no.
I thought we'd use song contest.
No, she's from Madison, Wisconsin.
She's like, hey, motherfucker.
No, I don't.
She goes, yo, I ain't signing that.
And so what the deal was, was every episode you would get $3,500.
That's good. That's higher than we got.
OK, on a TV show. To me, it's everything.
I'll sign it. Of course.
I'll go for half or whatever.
She goes, I need 10 grand.
That's what she said to me.
I go, well, I know, but no one knows who you are.
For what junkie? Oh, god damn.
Madison.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
She was a percocet.
Okay.
Oh yeah.
So, um, she, I don't know, but, um, she goes, I ain't doing it.
I ain't testing.
So they tested me and so cut to 15 years later, I'm at a restaurant.
Okay.
And I'm sitting there.
She's my waitress.
And her opening line was, I should have taken it.
And she was all calmed down and just like, not.
She's not doing, what's up?
You know what I mean, welcome to, you know.
No, she was more like, well, she goes,
yo, I should have taken it.
And you go fuck, I'm sorry.
So what's the special? I say, can I get a taken it. And you go, fuck, I'm sorry. What's the special?
I think that's actually-
That's making me sad
because that is the story of Hollywood.
Yeah.
More people, you know, even if you have a career,
you have a lot of regrets, you know?
Yeah, yeah.
I remember Brad Pitt in Troy, I turned it down.
Fuck.
Really?
I was ripped.
Brad Pitt came in with his fancy hair.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, I don't know this, but have you guys read,
you obviously don't read anymore, but back in the day,
did you read for things that you really wanted and not gotten?
For sure.
Amadeus.
I tested for Amadeus.
Oh, no, you would have been great for that.
Yeah, yeah.
This is better?
I didn't know, I could barely talk.
I auditioned for Moriarty, so Abrams got it.
We would have been together.
What's Moriarty?
What did you audition for you didn't get?
He was a movie star at 21, not Moriarty.
I didn't audition for Maury Rarity.
What was that?
Somebody in Amadeus?
Yeah, in Amadeus.
He played as a nemesis,
the old man that was like bitter that I didn't see it.
I read from Risky Business.
You did?
Yeah.
But not Tom Cruise's part.
Yeah, Booger.
Yeah.
I looked really young.
Yeah. Really?
I was 26.
I was reading for 18 in those days.
Wow.
Just before life beat me up.
Except you said, keep the camera back.
You go, little bit of back.
When I hear that music,
I think I'd walk out my underpants, I wouldn't slide.
Yeah.
And then they go, Tom slid and that sort of cliche.
You did, I saw your audition tape
and you clearly had a full load in your underpants
when you shot that.
Most of my auditions I start my underpants
and then I go from there, I go,
I can put pants on if you want.
Your wiener was not doing anything,
but you had a load in the back.
And I go, that guy's pretty good.
He should get the part.
Bobby loves this.
Yes, David.
I have some real questions.
Sorry about this guy.
This is a real show.
I don't like notes.
I'm just curious, when was the first time you felt rich?
Oh, is that a real question?
Yeah, like in podcasting.
Okay, so.
Did you ever get rich in regular television?
You got rich during podcasting.
Now rich can be whatever you think it is.
Oh, I see, like that young people
we had to define what rich is.
So-
If you feel it, feel rich.
I've always felt like I was drowning.
What's wrong, David?
I was just looking at your $12 wardrobe going, I don't know if you're feeling rich right now, but I understand what you're saying. I understand drowning. What's wrong, David? I was just looking at your $12 wardrobe going,
I don't know if you're feeling rich right now,
but I understand what you're saying.
I understand this.
I was like, that's a great shirt.
Is there a Goodwill nearby or something?
I want to get one like it.
You know what Dave did to me once?
What I did?
I haven't told this story before
and I don't know if it's real,
but in my mind it's real, right?
But I feel like the first time you ever talked to me
ever was, what?
I hate it already.
You're gonna hate the story. You're gonna hate the story.
Okay.
You're gonna hate the story and I've told it before.
You know, I don't think you've ever heard it.
I've never heard it.
All right, but the first time you ever even paid attention to me.
Okay.
Because I was wearing a Montclair jacket.
I was wearing a...
What does that mean?
I was wearing a Montclair jacket.
It's the kind of jacket I think I have.
Yeah, that jacket that he has. Oh, it's a Richie jacket. It's right kind of jacket. I think I
It's a richie richie richie. Okay, he took his finger right equal at the comic store Mm-hmm, you know how they had the Moncler symbol. Yeah, you took your finger you wrapped your finger right around
You go so what's doing well
Someone's doing well. Someone's doing well? Someone's doing well.
Someone's doing well.
And then from then on, you talk to me every fucking time.
And then I was like, Bobby!
In the club!
Someone's doing well.
I know, and then I stuck my finger in your ass and I go,
don't tell anyone this part.
Anyway, sorry.
Bobby and I are friendly.
When did I start feeling?
Oh, it doesn't matter.
This is entertaining.
I know it's a good question, I wanted to tell you.
I'm always curious that anyone transitioning
from poverty to kind of like having a lot of extra money.
When you told me you're transitioning,
I didn't know you meant from poverty.
No, that's what I did.
From poverty.
Okay, go ahead.
So I always felt like I was drowning
because I don't know if you guys were ever here
where you would do weekends as a stand-up.
Yeah.
And the club would go, listen, you know, we had a comp.
You know what I mean?
Right.
And in those days, even though you would make some money,
you always felt like you were drowning.
I think up until maybe seven years ago is when I felt like, or eight years ago when I felt like you were drowning. I think up until maybe seven years ago
is when I felt like, or eight years ago when I felt like,
when podcasting started is when I felt like,
okay, well, I think I'm fine.
You had enough money.
And you're gonna be doing this forever.
Yeah, that's the time when you go,
I think I'm okay just doing this,
because I kept going, should I go back in bus?
Boy, wait, what could I even do?
And then it takes a while to feel like,
okay, I got enough here, I got enough of a base.
To the beginning, I had no overhead.
It was just like-
Did you ever call out a club owner on the split?
Did you?
I know what the split means, explain split.
Well, I was supposed to get 35% of the door
at this hippie dive, the club, very famous actually.
Yeah.
The other cafe, Paul Poundstone played there.
And it was packed, two shows,
and I just was driving away in my Volkswagen
but I'm gonna add some cash,
and I was like, I don't think so.
So I went back, I go, guys, really?
I mean, this doesn't seem right.
And they immediately like butch castings on that skin.
It was like, we did it, we're sorry.
I don't know why we did it.
They broke down.
Oh really?
It's not us, it's not us.
I don't know, this is fucked up.
You got ratfucked?
No, I got my money.
No, I'm saying they ratfucked you and they go, all right.
They were not giving me 35% of the door.
Was it before S&O?
Yo way before.
Yo way before.
Yeah.
Bananas in New Jersey, this is the set, so.
Sounds like a pretty sturdy club.
I wanna hear this.
What?
No, that's where everyone goes to make it.
No shenanigans.
You know, I had some shenanigans of bananas.
Yeah.
Go ahead.
So they gave me an offer, like a guarantee.
Yeah.
And I just didn't do well.
They thought I would do way better than I did.
I know, tough shit.
You gotta guarantee.
Okay, this old couple came up to me at the very,
and they were handing me this check, shaky.
So they went, like this, right?
And they go, young man, I just F for your information.
If we give you this check, our business closes.
And I go, excuse me?
Wow. Yeah.
It's over. And I go, and I looked Wow. Yeah, it's over.
And I go, and I looked at it, so it was $10,000.
Fuck yeah.
And I go, how much would I need to give you back
for your business?
And they go, five.
So I had them rewrite it for five.
Very nice of you.
And then the next week, Carrot Top.
Oh.
I just figured they did it to every headline the next week, Carrot Top. They closed it anyway. Oh.
I just figured they did it to every headliner.
Oh, baby, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Carrot Top, was that really five?
No.
Next time in the alley with, just like this.
Yeah, yeah.
But it was the first time.
And also, it felt real.
They had tears in their eyes.
They felt like really, like, you know, just down and out. I just they felt like really like you know just
down and out I just couldn't do it you know I got I did cartoons in Utah for
600 for a week and they the lady goes you got to stay on my couch we don't
have some highfalutin hotel so I did it goes newer and I did it and then at the
end she goes can I send it to you? And I was like, well, I kind of needed it.
Obviously I've been eating out of your
fucking mousetrap all week.
And so I go, yeah.
And she never fucking sent it.
Wow.
So I said she molested me.
She did, but I said-
I played a club where they didn't pay you at the end.
You would get it like, they're, a series of clubs up in Canada
and Seattle and you get paid like a month later.
Cause you would take all the money.
I don't like that.
I don't want to wait one god.
We can't pay now.
The improvs are good about it.
When I did like, I used to do San Diego a lot, Irvine.
Improvs.
End of the week, sometimes give you a little bump or bonus.
But I wasn't the draw.
It was like, I was just on a show that filled up.
I was middle.
When I got on SNL, I was a middle.
Like Dana was a high flute and headliner.
So when you go on-
We can switch topics.
Oh, sorry.
You said to switch to that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, Dana, as soon as you hit SNL,
that's it, poverty no more, right?
Started out 4,500, an episode for the first season.
So that, but then that summer, all of a sudden
I was getting 25,000 to play at college.
Jesus, if it's okay to bring up numbers.
In one year?
In one season?
One season, well, the bitch was out heavy.
Yeah, the church bitch.
Yeah, church bitch came out. Oh, the church bitch. Yeah, church bitch came out.
Oh, the church bitch, yeah, yeah.
I drove to a gig in Connecticut
and for the only time it happened was church lay here tonight,
didn't say my name for the theater.
Did you have to do the fucking garb and all that?
I was in it often, yeah.
I showed up in it.
No, I didn't wear the dress.
I don't wear the dress, it's gonna pay me a lot.
Wow, wow.
I haven't heard the word garb since Theo said,
is that traditional garb?
Do you mean busboys?
I'm like, what are you saying?
I didn't understand until I saw the daily.
I was like, oh.
Theo always says something quite different.
I feel like you're wearing garb.
How fast, I mean, are you guys editing the movie?
I'm sorry, I mean.
No, we did pause because he talked about it too much.
But we did it, we talked to Tim yesterday,
Tim Dillon, who's got a big part in it
And yeah, he goes hi. What's going on?
He goes is a clip gonna come out is a photo something that we can just say we're in a movie
Can I just ask?
Ask what I just asked. Yeah, how are you feeling about it? I think it's question. I think it's funny
I think what we did was funny and it's just a matter of I've never
And no help like it's just me and Theo so we have him and we have another guy that put in a little bit of money
But yeah, he's one of the his buddies. So we are there once the movies over we both go on the road
So now I would usually go have someone edit it and then go sit with them
If I even had that privilege, not all movies I do,
not many people do, you go in there and you go,
hey, do this thing, and you go through the takes,
it's arduous, long, painstaking work.
Me and Theo aren't in the same spot,
and the editor's in New York.
So they did a director's cut, and we look at it,
now we're trying to shape, there's no special effects.
So Theo was on the road, so now we got him involved,
so he's gotta do his, I do mine, we go back and forth.
So we, then we're going to show it to people.
We're almost at that part.
You heard the story? Wake up.
Grandpa?
Sorry, I do need a nap.
I'm the senior here.
I space out.
I owe it to Bobby because he's in it.
And so he drove all the way, we were in the valley.
Once in.
On time.
Well, I think it was a good move when you had,
well, here's, we're going to shoot the movie here. On time. Well, I think it was a good move when you had,
well, here's, we're gonna shoot the movie here.
Now we're both gonna go on a global tour for six months.
It's so dumb.
Then come back.
Well, he hasn't done a movie.
And I said, we should be in the same room.
And he's like, well, I gotta do this.
And he's got his own podcast.
So we're getting closer, just slower.
Meanwhile, I did that Jonah Hill movie a year ago.
That's not gonna be out till end of the year probably. And that Jonah Hill movie a year ago. That's not going to be out till
end of the year probably. And so it was a full year already. But this should go faster because it's
smaller. That was a bigger... Well, Bobby and I'll put your name in there. We're available to put some eyes on it. Yeah, I know. I want to show it. I would show it to you guys just to say,
what do you think? Does it make sense? We just want to show it from a crowd of 20 people to say,
what do you not understand? What do you like, what do you not like, and then listen,
it's not fucking.
Can I talk to you guys about something controversial,
a little confrontational?
Why are your eyes like this?
I don't like it already.
It has nothing to do with you.
No, go ahead.
You're setting this up beautifully. Okay, it has nothing to do with either one of you go ahead. You're setting this up beautifully.
Okay, it has nothing to do with either one of you,
but you guys are a part of it.
Adjacent.
Adjacent to it.
Okay, I wanna hear.
And so, don't.
Cause it's a long wind up.
Go ahead, it's a good wind up.
Go ahead.
Okay, you don't like it?
No, I like it.
So, let me ask you something.
May I lean forward?
Yes, don't break that $3 table.
Okay, I won't.
May I lean forward a little bit?
The Kmart cameras have auto focus. Okay, for you't. Man, lean forward a little bit. The Kmart cameras have autofocus, okay?
Why are we good?
For you to lean forward, we have to have eight people jump up.
Okay.
So I just...
And you weren't there, Dana.
All right.
Okay.
But...
Okay.
So let me ask you about the wrong Missy.
Oh, boy.
Okay.
Did I...
That day...
Yes.
Okay. That day, did I do a bad job?
That's a great question.
No, Bobby.
Okay, because in my mind, I could, you know,
ask my friend Sadie.
Hi Sadie.
Yeah, sometimes I lay in bed at night.
No, no, no.
Just hear what I'm fucking saying.
Go ahead.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I'm the same, I understand.
You understand what I'm saying?
You have regret, regret.
I didn't do it right.
Yeah, did I do it right or not right?
Absolutely.
Thank you.
And you know what, that's what I like about you.
He gets it.
No, I totally get it.
You're with me.
Yeah, he doesn't really care about the outcome.
So he kind of just.
I've bombed in movies before. But I don't think I bombed, that's the thing. Oh, you don't really care about the outcome. So he kind of just I've bombed in movies before
But I don't think I bombed that's oh you don't think that
No, this is
I'll tell my side of the story. It is warm in here. No, the story is Dana. I'll tell Dana because he's
800 billion movie was a big movie. That's the a smash. The movie was a smash. Okay.
The best thing.
Did people know you were moving?
Well your part was cut out?
Is that what you did instead?
No, no, no.
Can I tell Dana what happened?
Yeah.
All right.
So, um, David asked me to do the wrong missy.
Was it me or was it Adam?
It was you.
Okay.
Okay.
All right.
I had no idea he was gonna fucking be there.
I did.
That was, okay, that's a big part of the story.
And also, FYI, I'm in Happy Madison, Gilmore too.
You are?
Okay.
So, yeah, so.
Julie Bowen was here.
Not only that, I've worked with, you know, Adam Sandler.
Yeah. Yeah.
He's, I don't want you to hear the story Sadie but a
year and a half ago I was with a lady in Malibu right? You're with who? I was with a lady in Malibu.
I was holding hands with her. I'm sorry. Yeah. And Sandler walks up and he gave me he gave me a layup.
Sandler and I are like this. He gave you a lamp and he was very nice. Very nice. And I got some, you know what I mean?
That night, excuse me.
Yeah, Jesus.
But there was a, you know what I mean?
From this other woman that's not here today.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, I get it.
Yeah, yeah, you get what I'm saying, right?
I'm sweating, I'm so sorry, okay?
What I'm saying to you is this,
I'll tell you what happens.
So he calls me, can you do one line in Hawaii?
No, you didn't do that?
Go to Hawaii and do one line? Hawaii? No, you didn't do that? Go to Hawaii and do one line?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think one line was for sure not enough for you
and it was a straight line and it was just,
everyone's excitement to have you in the movie
and we should have said, we gotta give Bobby,
more of a Bobby thing to do that's funny
where you can really get into it
because that was the problem, go ahead.
God bless you and take care.
Okay.
Okay, okay.
So I go there, Dana, okay? Let's just tell Dana. Okay, I of her. Okay. Okay, okay. So I go there Dana.
Okay, let's just tell Dana.
Okay, I wanna hear this.
All right, so Dana.
I go, right?
The line is like, welcome to Alowani Hotel
or whatever the fucking line is.
That's all the line is.
That's it?
Mr. and Mrs. Tim Morris.
Mr. and Mrs. Tim Morris, welcome to Alowani Hotel.
You just did it better.
What?
You just did it better.
Okay.
I just.
I.
Fuck you, David.
You know what? I'm sweating. I know, I'm sweating too because I'm part of the problem
What I'm still going on?
Okay, all right, so I'm on set feeling good. It's outside. You know, I mean Hawaii
Right. Yeah, not not only Hawaii but Wachowski
Lauren everyone on this set is a friend of mine. All right Not only Hawaii, but Wtowski, Lauren,
everyone on this set is a friend of mine, all right?
Action, you know what I mean?
Hello, Mr. Intimidator.
I'm not gonna do the line, okay, right?
Welcome to All in One, right?
Then I hear, stop from-
From Video Village.
Video Village.
Video Village.
It's Sandler.
Who never comes.
Who never comes.
He was. He's not even- He doesn't never come, but he was just there.
Okay, one line and he jumps up.
He comes up and he goes, hey, what are you doing?
And I go, oh hey, Adam?
He goes, what are you doing?
Not how are you doing.
What are you doing?
What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And?
I go, yeah, it's more natural.
Do more natural or something, right?
So I go, oh, oh, I thought, okay.
Action again.
I do it again.
Stop.
He comes back, right?
Why are you covering me?
This can't be true.
Now me and Lauren start laughing because it's so tense and weird.
And Adam wasn't being mean.
It was just, it got tense because Bobby kept nervously
missing it by a hair.
And then they go stop.
We're like, they stop again.
I go, okay, on this one, just normal.
Just to hear them yelling it.
And we all start going, oh my God.
Cause everyone's so like tired.
Also Sandler's kids are in the scene.
Make it even worse.
Oh, making it worse. The whole family shaming.
That's why he's there. He didn't want to see the whole family shaming.
So everyone's very nice, but Adam was just like, just say it straight. And then it was
so matter of fact, and that's why we started laughing because we're like, every time he
said it, I'm like, is that the one? And it was like, nope. Because then he comes out and goes,
hey, what are you doing?
Again, he goes, just try one like this.
Okay, check this out now, right?
So hilarious.
Hawaii, outside, right?
It's Niagara Falls now.
All the makeup is drawing down.
I am having a panic attack, right?
Because in my mind, I'm'm like I'm fucking you know
Daniel Day Lewis seeing this thing yeah what is the line again I just want to I
want to walk through this we what is the fucking we coming out literally yeah let me just make it up yeah let me just make it up me and Lauren walk up okay Yeah, I don't even know what the line is. Hello, Mr. Tim and Tim Robinson.
Let me just make it up.
Yeah.
Let me just make it up.
Me and Lauren walk up.
Okay.
Hello, Mr. Tim and Tim.
What's the?
You be Lauren, I'll be you.
The Robinson.
What's up?
Hello, the Robinson's.
Hi, welcome to Aloha Waihi Hotel.
Yeah, here's your registration.
Perfect.
That's what I did.
Where were you?
Where were you? So we go in and Lauren argues with the kids first.
They go like this. You were out there swimming with the turtles. She goes, hey, fuck you!
To Adam's kids. That was her line. It was hysterical. She's screaming. Then we ah-ha-ha.
We walk up and we're with Wotowski and Sarah and they're in robes and we all come up to
Bobby and I'm telling you
in your defense one line is harder than doing a whole scene. Because what happens
when you're doing one line is the whole time when you're watching the
scene all you're doing is thinking about that one line and you're running it
through your mind 10,000 times.
Welcome to the hotel, welcome to the hotel.
Mr. Russell, Mr. Russell.
It's torture.
But didn't you ask for a line reading?
I'm sorry.
But didn't you ask?
That's so embarrassing, you've asked for that?
Oh, how do you want me to say it?
Just say it, tell me how to say it.
Just tell me how to say it.
He did do it.
Oh, okay.
But at one point, I remember David going this,
because Adam's talking to him like this,
but I see David.
Behind Adam.
Behind Adam, and this is where you go,
you go like this, you go.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry. Yeah, I was worried about you. Yeah, you felt, you know, you go like this, you go. Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
Yeah, I was worried about you.
Yeah, you felt, you know, and that's why,
there was so much love.
Now we're friends.
Yeah, yeah, there was so much love there,
but check, here's the good news.
Okay.
Can I hear the good news?
I want some happiness now.
So when I'm wrapped, right, I went to myself,
I go, how high up is this hotel so I can jump off?
You know what I mean? Or, no, I can jump off? You know what I mean?
Or, no, there was like suicide, you know what I mean?
Yeah, right.
Or maybe I'll relapse, I was sober at the time.
You know what I mean?
So maybe, you know, seven years is real, I could relapse.
All reasonable thoughts.
Yeah, there was so many different thoughts in my mind.
Welcome to the Iwami Hotel, may I help you?
I mean, fuck, where were you?
Yeah, yeah, where were you?
You could have done it.
You're drenched in sweat, all the makeup's tearing down.
Yeah, yeah. He's going, I'm so sorry. Yeah, yeah. That's you? You could have done it. You're drenched in sweat, all the makeup's tearing down. He's going, I'm so sorry.
That's better than anything in the movie.
That's the most dramatic thing.
Right, here's the good news.
There's more good news, all right.
It gets good.
So then I go to the hotel, the Aloha Halani Hotel.
This is not the name, because I've never heard of it. Okay, whatever the fucking name is. You're just's not the name because it's not never. I never, never heard of.
Okay. Whatever the name is.
Yeah.
You're just putting a bunch of just yes.
And it, okay.
All right.
He's been so extra.
I know what is wrong with you right now.
I love you so much.
Now, right.
So I feel for him.
Go.
So now here's the good news.
Dana.
Okay.
I'm at there's a wanton bar.
All they have is wontons?
Is that all you eat?
He has an app for it.
So you go to a wonton bar.
She's dramatic pause.
Sorry Blonnie.
Okay. Skinny.
It's okay. Take it easy, Skinny.
Want to take a break?
Anyway, thank you so much.
So I'm at this wonton bar. Can I have some wontons please?
They gave me a bowl of wontons, right? And I don't even want to, you know, like I'm just so sad. So there's another Korean guy next to me. What?
I thought that's what he said to you.
Yeah. Cause he's eating wontons.
No, so no.
He was in the same previous deal.
He had one line.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, go ahead.
So he goes, hey.
I go, hey.
And he was sitting next to a guy I was familiar with.
His name is Zach Knighton.
He's an actor.
And back when I was on Mad TV,
what are you doing your hands like this?
I think, is this not the night we went to dinner at Nobu?
No, it wasn't.
Okay.
Okay.
We've been to many Nobu's though.
In Hawaii?
Yes.
And you remember we went to dinner?
Yes.
And someone came and talked to us?
Yes.
Okay.
It's not that.
Okay.
Okay.
So anyway, so Zach Knighton is sitting, so this Asian guy looks just like me too.
Big headed Koreans.
And we're the best kind.
Yep.
I'm not gonna co-sign on any of this stuff.
Because you have the Steven Yeun Koreans,
you know what I mean?
Like leading man, but then you get the big headed
and we're the coal miners of the business.
Coal miners, that's funny.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like in Korea, I think I would have been a coal miner.
Is this part of your standard?
No, I like that.
It should be, it's funny. Well, it's miner. Is this part of your standard? No, I like that.
It should be.
Well, it's not.
Anyway, so he was a big head of Korean.
OK.
And he goes, hey, my name is Gene.
I go, I met you, which I didn't remember.
He goes, I met you at Earth Bar, and you
were talking about my genes.
I'm really big into radenum.
Let's move on.
And I go, oh, and he goes, I'm the executive producer
of Magnum PI. That's what he says to me. So I go, oh, and he goes, I'm the executive producer of Magnum P.I.
That's what he says to me. So I go, oh, and he goes, let me write you a part.
Right. So I go, please know more than one line.
Yeah. He got he wrote me over the next three or four years.
Oh, that's right. I did 15 episodes of that thing.
He wrote me.
Like I was number one on the call sheet, like storylines.
It was the he's my best friend now, Gene, right?
We hang out, you know, you've met Jane.
We've gone to Hawaii.
I mean, he's one of my best friends.
I would have never met him if I hadn't done the wrong mistake with that
nightmare that you put me through.
And, um, you know, and so, you know, the moral of the story is this.
Sometimes when you say yes, right?
Great things can happen.
Yeah, sometimes no means yes.
Yeah.
Is that it?
No, that one.
I don't think that's a win.
Sometimes you lose for winning.
Yeah, sometimes you win for losing,
but sometimes you lose for winning.
Sometimes, you know, you don't know why you're somewhere.
Something's happened for a reason.
Something, there we go.
It's all in God's hands.
I think that's better.
Yeah, yeah, you're missing on this.
Mine was close.
You're pretty close.
Something's happened pretty.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But that experience, you know what I mean?
And just want to reiterate that, you know what I mean?
Adam and his whole family has been very gracious to me.
And I love them very much.
And I am in happy.
Happy water boy.
In Madison one or two.
Yeah.
And I know Sandler, he would have been very gentle,
almost whispery about it.
He was very gentle about it.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He just pictures it in a certain way.
And there's-
I get it.
And when I did my wig for grownups,
I walked in so excited, long wig,
and everyone was thinking it's so fun,
and the way that we got there,
there's coffee, same thing, and he goes,
is this the wig you want?
And I go, yeah.
And he goes, I don't like it.
And everyone's like, what?
Isn't this funny?
Because I have a guy like this, long hair,
he thinks he's from the 80s.
And he goes, no, no, shorten it. And I go back and cut it, cut it. What? Isn't this funny? Because I have a guy like this long hair. He thinks he's from the 80s.
And he goes, no, no, shorten it.
And I go back and cut it and cut it.
We kept doing it until it was basically where it was.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're supposed to be a good looking guy.
I don't want that long.
I was OK.
But in his head, he pictures it and it's his movie.
And that's the fun thing.
I mean, that's the good about at least you need someone calling the shot.
And he's casual as a person when he's the executive producer. He'll be lying on a couch, have a leg of turkey and people come in,
oh I don't think so. He is a good decision. He's very decisive. I mean he's very casual but decisive.
I'm not decisive so I would, I actually thought you were doing fine. Oh yeah I mean he's the nice
guy. But everybody else. I just wanted to share that story with you.
And I've never confronted you about,
did you think the actual performance was bad?
And what you were saying to me, what I got was,
it could have been better.
No, I got that it was a little nerve wracking
to hit you with all of us do a whole scene
and we come up and you just have to say one line
and get us out of it.
And we get all the way to that part and it would stop again.
It was another good point was is that when you guys were all jumping around,
having fun and you know, you know that I'm a goofy guy.
Yeah.
Right.
I'm silly Billy, baby.
Sure.
You had to play straight, man.
Yeah.
And whenever I had to play something straight, it feels like I'm being, you
know what I mean?
You're tied down.
What?
I'm sorry.
What point in the movie was that?
About, was it 30 or 40 minutes in?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I think I only, oh, nevermind.
Oh, you switched it off at 15.
No, I'm just, forget what I just said.
At a certain point I just kind of...
Do you watch each other's stuff or no?
I think so, I've seen most pretty much every day.
I saw Joe Dirt.
I saw Grown Ups.
Yeah.
Grown Ups too didn't quite do it for me.
But I think I've seen most of your stuff.
Yeah.
And I've seen,
I was there for five years overlapping with him on SNL.
So I saw- Yeah, we worked for five years together.
I saw him kill from like 10 people.
There's regular cold.
And then there's the mountains are blue cold.
Mountain cold refreshment.
Coors light.
The chill choice.
Celebrate responsibly.
Must be legal drinking age.
Did you guys get along instantly
or was there competitiveness?
No, the sad part was no one was competitive with me
because I wasn't competing with them
really.
So they were like nice to me and I'm like, I should have been offended because I wasn't
a threat to anyone.
That's rude.
You know what I mean?
Like when you see a comic and you go, yeah, you can go before me.
And they go, I won't curse.
And you go, do whatever you want.
I don't give a fuck.
I can follow you.
Put it this way, I used to call him the junior Varsity and Dennis would come in, Dennis Miller,
and they would beg him.
It would be you and Rock and Farley
in the dressing room they were sharing on 8H,
and Dennis would just rip everyone's butt.
Yeah, suddenly, okay?
The curvy thing's not working right now or whatever.
He'd go one at a time.
But the Junior Varsity, when you look at them,
Sandler, Chris Rock,
what's your name again? Yeah, Schneider. Did very well. But they were sort of
quasi understudies of me and Phil and John. Right. Neelan in a way. And then we mesh really well.
And I think I've said this before, I think 90 to 93, where we had these guys, plus we still had the
guys from 86 there. Yeah.
We were very potent.
What a powerful group.
Yeah.
Because when you read, I read Life from New York, right, and you read some of the nightmarish
stories that are in it, right?
Were those elements in your class?
Probably not then, because it felt like a healthy...
No, they were all there.
There was tension and competitiveness and all that stuff.
For sure, for sure, for sure.
Yeah, I mean, but in a friendly way.
Lovitz and I decided to make a joke out of it,
so we just teased each other the entire time.
The idea of being envious, I would say I was in three sketches tonight.
Stuff like that. And John, of course, loved it.
He leaves too many voicemails, and I don't know what to do.
He loves you.
Is he stalking you? No, but he leaves so many voicemails and I don't know what to do. He loves you. Is he stalking you? No, but he leaves so many voicemails.
Hello.
Hello.
And he pretends, you know, why do you have to be so Chinese?
And he's kind of, you know what I mean?
Question everyone's mind.
No, but he loves comedians to foul stuff behind the scenes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's so funny.
Yeah.
But anyway, I love the man.
Yeah.
So there was teasing and stuff going on. Yeah. Anyway, I love the man. Yeah. But so there was teasing and stuff.
Yeah, teasing.
Phil Hartman, you couldn't compete.
There was no competition because Phil was so such a savant that he was reading other
things in magazines about motorboats and stuff.
And then they'd call him and he had 10 sketches and he just hit it perfect.
And he'd go back and then he'd paint and stuff.
He was the only one pretty much relaxed
at the whole place.
Phil, he'd done 20 years, like 15 years at Groundlings.
He was like a superstar at Groundlings
and he had a good life.
He didn't really even care if he got on SNL.
He came in as a writer.
He worked with Pee Wee Herman on a...
He co-wrote.
He was pre-adventure.
Yeah, he co-wrote that movie.
Oh yeah, Paul, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Paging Mr. Herman.
That's how you did your part.
Paging Mr. Herman.
Did you see that part of the movie?
Do you know who Pee Wee Herman is?
Yeah, Paul Rubens.
Okay.
All right.
I have a few questions before we gotta get rid of you.
Hold on.
Okay.
How long does this go?
I mean, I would...
We don't even, we're not like you guys.
How long do you do?
Three hours.
We're not Rogan.
How long do you do? We do about 45, maybe an hour. Okay, is it? How long is it so far 45? There's no way it's 45 already. Is it?
Yeah, okay, that's fun. See cuz I mean fun. Well, I want to keep going. Yeah
Okay, I have a question for you very for nothing. You know, I have three questions
First of all, when we were we sometimes were on the same show. We had a good lineup the other night
at the Comedy Store
Didn't we were you done? What give it the line? No, what was it? Did you say was I on it? What was it?
I'm just saying yeah, yeah, you and I were you know, they'll take a photo. Yeah, they took a photo of us check your diary
Okay. Oh, yeah, so the diary. Yeah today David half hugged me and then rubbed his fingers all over my
Montclair
so I David half hugged me and then rubbed his fingers all over my Montclair.
So I think that it was fun the other night because I see you there about once every two
weeks at the Comic Store.
It was Whitney, maybe Tim Dillon.
Like sometimes they have a great lineup.
It's fun to watch.
Yeah.
Okay.
That was one not question.
Oh, you know what?
Yeah.
Because I, because when I was leaving, I sat and watched you and A, you had new stuff.
Yeah. You always say you don't have new stuff. You have new stuff.
Well, I do a special, so I have to get Crank It Out.
Oh, when is your special?
It's January. I have some stress out of it.
What platform?
Hulu.
Okay.
Hulu.
Well, some people have Hulu.
All right, listen.
No, you can get it.
Well, I'm just thinking you're stressed out.
I mean, do you understand that you're Bobby Lee?
Do you get it?
Yeah.
Do you understand you're famous?
I don't, I'm not.
I just wanted to tell you.
Number one, I'm not.
Number one, I'm not.
That's part of your charm.
No, can I tell you, can I lean forward again?
Yeah.
Whenever you say stuff like that,
I get kind of emotional and stuff, all right?
There's two types of different kinds of fame.
Can we at least agree with that?
Everyone in the room.
Yeah. Okay.
What are you doing?
Well, I'm gonna explain it to you. Yeah.
What? You know, I agree. And may I explain to you gently? Yes. Okay. Gently. So
there's two types of fame, okay? There's Hollywood fame, right? Where the type you
have and whatever you were doing earlier. Yeah, podcasting. Yeah, yeah.
And then there's internet fame.
I think I'm in sort of in the middle there.
I think I've kind of gone back and forth.
I'm sort of in the middle.
Because you have TV from the past.
But me and Andrew Santino, my other podcast,
Bad Friends, check it out, very good podcast.
Yeah, very good.
Yeah.
I did Bad Friends, I love it.
Yeah, it's great.
Yeah.
So me and Andrew complain a lot about
because we came to L.A.
in the early 2000s, 90s. Right.
And we still have dreams of doing Hollywood.
And because, you know, we do Internet as well,
it doesn't feel like our dreams were accomplished, but they have been.
And it's done.
It's in fact, we're almost better off
having our own thing controlled.
So it's just, I guess, thank you.
I know what you're saying.
By the way, Bert Krishner said the exact same thing
on this podcast.
Did he really?
Essentially the same thing.
And just that, your age group and the romance of that.
And some people don't wanna, they used to go,
come here to do standup to get a sitcom or a movie.
And now people go, come here to do standup
and just do standup the rest of your life.
No one's even trying to get those other things.
And it's not as much money and not as maybe what it was,
there's not as many.
So it's-
But when you're driving in the road
and you're like, you see that billboard, Zippy the King.
I don't know if you've seen it up.
Zippy the King, right?
And some guy, you know, some open micro guy
that you did back in the day
is like zipping out, right?
And he's zipping through the sky, you know what I mean?
And you're like, and you go, oh, I wanna be a zippy.
Yeah, it's fun.
That's all.
I think this is so much better.
Also, you're doing great.
Although there was excitement being on The Tonight Show
with the pressure and all that.
I did Leno, but anyone that's move on?
And it would be a game show.
Well, thanks again, Tien. Bobby Leeds, I've been at the comedy store, you know, people having a good time.
Please welcome him, first time here on this night show.
You know Bobby, we had a viewer question.
Okay.
Roughly how many pubes do you have?
Under a thousand or over?
That's interesting. I have none now.
That's interesting.
It's interesting because I have none now.
That's true. Okay.
The answer is under.
I was at Wee Spa that night.
I had a meal there.
I had never eaten there before.
And they had free razors back there.
And so I took all five razors.
I dipped them in the little bucket and I went at it.
And I even did the, you know what I mean?
And I went, you know,
we got the mirror and I did the whole thing.
At where?
Wee Spa.
Clip this, clip this.
We spot.
What's we spot?
If we're in there naked.
We spot.
If we're in there naked ever, dude, don't say hi.
It's weird. It's so fucking weird.
It's a male.
Wait, which brings my next question.
He leans in the audience.
He goes, what's up, brother?
He says he does a little crowd work.
And then he leaned over, he goes, you're cute, dude.
And he kissed him on the lips
when I was in the back of the room.
Okay.
I don't know if that was a question, but.
No, it was an observation.
Seems more like an interrogation.
And I have,
is there a question?
You were,
no, it says here.
Now, why understand?
No, I was giving you a compliment
that you were at the comedy store and you do well.
And I would say in my life, when I run around, people ask me the most for tickets for you
or Theo.
So if they say, Hey, Bobby, what's going on?
I had someone call me and say, can you get me into the comedy store?
And I go, Oh, I'm not there.
They go, No, I know.
Bobby's there now.
Can you get me in?
I'm like, call somebody to get you in to see this fucking idiot, no offense.
I've done it for you.
Okay, good.
That's not a put down.
No it is.
So, you're very charming.
So, when you guys do your show, it's good.
People really like, I don't know why they grab it
and say it's you, but they do.
We see, do you look at the charts, Bobby?
Do you ever look at the charts?
The podcasts?
I don't, I don't. I know.
Because, you know, I think that it's I'm just going to probably do it
until I can't do it anymore. Right.
Why would you stop doing it?
Unless it changes. We don't know what the.
It's pretty easy. You get to sleep till three. Yeah.
And then you just roll around and mumble on your podcast.
It's not a bad life.
You roll down the store and you guys, you guys enjoy doing this.
No, I hate repeating myself.
Like stand up, the toughest part for me is we've
managed to, you know, make a truce to share the
stage. We go along fine.
But, you know, repeating yourself and stand up
is work.
But this is all being live in the moment, maybe
with a few notes is fun because it's happening in real time.
That's David.
The worst things I've asked you were notes.
It's better to just talk.
I think so, yeah.
Yeah, it's better to just talk.
But it's hard. Do you have any prep? Like when I came in, do you have any prep?
No.
No. Oh yeah, you weren't even there when I came in.
Well, this is what I asked Andrew when I went in.
Oh, sorry.
When I went in.
Andrew who?
When I went in to the party, yes. And I wasn Andrew when I went, oh, sorry. When I went in. When I went in to his apartment.
Yeah.
And I wasn't supposed to tell the story.
Well, you went in with the two.
I went to see bad friends and I go.
I couldn't get on the main.
I says, I says to him, I says, I says,
all right, we're doing it one day.
Do you want to hear this?
I'm here.
And I go.
Oh, okay, I know what you're gonna bring up.
Fuck you, I apologize.
There's a lot of, can I say this?
Do you want to hear this? There's a lot of, can I say this? Do you want to hear this?
There's a lot of that today.
I like it.
Go ahead.
I want to hear this.
No, I was doing bad friends and the night before, uh, he says, he texts me and he
says, Hey, can you not do it today?
Do you mind doing it tomorrow?
We could do, I go, I have a flight.
I could do probably one to two.
Let's say he says, great.
Thank you.
That really helps me I
Get there at 1230 in case you were a little early today, which is very sweet in case they're ready. Let's knock it out
I see Andrew and he's like this I
Go what he is
He's not here and I go. Oh, I can wait he goes
I don't know when he'll be here and I go I'm sure it's fine
And then the other guys at work there, you know, you know that interns they go
What why are you so sad during this story? I'm listening. I've never listened that long in my
life. I always talk. I had a fake listening face too. You did right. You know what? You have a very good fake listening face.
I know. I know. I don't watch this one. Really good. And I don't have a... I'm listening to you listen.
I had that. Finish? It's a little judgy.
You finished the story? No. It's got 25 more minutes.
I'm a third way through it. So anyway, story was he was a little late and then he came in.
But it was a fun... 30 minutes late.
Yeah. I have a question.
Dana would have hit the fucking roof.
Dana does not play games.
I'm pretty uptight most of the time.
So when you, I got to know you guys from clips, right?
I mean, YouTube clips, initially.
And so I see Andrew doing the most racist thing ever
of a white guy doing, Like crazy over the top.
And then you do the thousand yard stare.
Yeah.
And it's instantly hilarious.
I don't know what that combo of him being that foul
and ridiculous and then that face.
Do you know how funny that is
or did it start out serious?
No, it's the instinct of that, yeah.
The stillness of it.
Staring, you know what I mean?
It's like, I think Theo and I had a thing
where he said something, I forgot what it was,
but it was so ridiculous.
So you just kind of look at him for a good seven seconds
to let it sit, you know what I mean?
Yeah, and then he starts to backtrack a little bit.
To let people know how ridiculous that really is.
And you don't count your mind,
but it's an instinctual thing.
You know how to fucking do it, guys.
What the fuck are you talking about?
It works.
But I've never seen something that potent
where the bow is going back with Andrew
and then, and then to the release
of someone who's clearly just saying,
did I just see that?
It's like the stillness of it.
Getting a huge laugh.
I should have done that in the world missing movie.
A little bit like Charlie Chaplin.
Well, Bobby, thank you.
And you are, you look great.
You, you're...
Talk great.
We, you look great.
And you cut your hair and you honestly look 10 years younger.
I don't know how.
I'll take care of you.
You look great.
Anything else?
Can I plug some things or not?
Yeah, plug some things. Let's go, plug it all. You look great. And uh. Anything else? Can I plug some things or no?
Yeah, plug some things.
Let's go plug it all.
Uh.
You'll be at the Comedy Store what night?
No.
Every.
Well, so I mean, eventually I'm gonna do, you know,
so if you check out my Hulu special.
Yeah.
When it comes out.
Do you have a title?
I'm gonna call it Finally.
Oh, that's good.
Do you know why?
I've never done one before.
Oh.
I've never done a special before.
Yeah.
Where are you gonna shoot it? San Diego Bell Bowl Theater. Did you not do it yet? Okay. I did in done one before. I've never done a special before. Where are you gonna shoot it?
San Diego, Balboa Theater.
Did you not do it yet?
Okay.
I do it in January, I said.
Oh, you haven't done it yet.
And then, oh, I thought it comes out in January.
No, I'm gonna do it in January.
Cause I did mine, they hold it for a while.
So mine will come out in three years.
They do take a while to come out.
Well, it's gonna come out eventually.
Well, that's Amazon Prime, he's on Hulu.
Right, but Hulu sometimes holds him too.
What's better, and Tana?
Hulu.
Tana?
Hulu's a slightly bigger deal.
I'll talk to you right now.
Amazon Prime.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Anyone wanna get on it?
Look what you've started, in fighting.
You've seen Dandelion.
What?
Oh, nevermind.
My favorite movie in the world, is it a movie?
His special is called Dandelion.
What do you think of the title? It's so good. Dandelion's great. Yeah, it was a great special. Yeah, I saw in the world. Is it a movie? His special is called Dandelion. What do you think of the title?
It's so good. Dandelion's great.
Yeah, it was a great special.
I saw it three times. Is it on yet?
I'm giving you this.
Is it on?
A very good listening space.
I'm giving you the stare down.
Oh, you are.
You know, I watch you so much that I don't think I need to see Dandelion.
There you go. Thank you.
There we go.
Does either of you ever sit down for a big heap of night of stand up specials?
Because usually you know how the-
Not really. You know the rabbit gets out of the hat. I'm looking for- I have one last question. Can I ask him a question? ever sit down for a big heap of night of standup specials? Cause usually you know how the-
Not really.
You know the rabbit gets out of the hat.
I'm looking for-
I have one last question.
Can I ask him a question?
Yeah, sure.
How come you're never around the clubs?
Yeah, why don't you do a set over there?
Because there's a lot of reasons,
but for me, I never really liked group shows
because when comedians go on,
and unless they're really good friends,
like I could go on a group
show with you guys, but generally after a while it's like either staff or people walk back and say,
I thought you were one of the best ones out there tonight. Or it becomes a comedy competition,
you know who killed last night, you know, and it's supposed to be, it's supposed to be like open mic
and I'm going to try new material. Everyone throws that away and you know. Right. It's supposed to be like open mic and I'm gonna try new material. Everyone throws that away.
Right, it's hard to go bomb.
It's hard to bomb when some of your friends are in the room.
But actually, usually when we're back in the green room,
nobody really leaves to go watch somebody.
It's usually everyone bullshits.
They come back and you think,
oh no, they all watch and judge.
And they're like, they don't even know you're on or not.
So Dana, when you were on the road,
do you two, because do you do new jokes
in front of that many people?
Yeah, where do you practice?
Yeah, where do you practice?
If I do, if I go six months without doing it,
if I do two or three sets, I feel pretty good.
But the first set's kind of rough
after six months of not doing it.
Okay, so you do two or three.
Yeah, well I just sort of put down my sword
a certain while I just went,
I was at one point kind of playing a different game,
like doing regular standup. So now I've kind of tabled that.
So I'm just going to do Trump or Biden or Scarface and I'll go for 10 minutes, 15 minutes.
I'm just going to ride the wave of what I really like to do.
Rather than try to be a standup.
Yeah, but you, there's a clip of yours. That's be a stand up. Yeah, but there's a clip of yours.
It was exactly, but there's a clip of yours.
I forgot what the bit was about rockets or something.
It had something to do with the space or something, but it was a, it was, I'm
being real, it was a stand up joke that was so good.
And I thought, I thought to myself, wow, that guy's so good.
He does kill.
He's always been good.
He kills.
Yeah.
And he doesn't do it.
And we do a gig together.
I think he said 45 minutes or?
Say it again.
I think this is done now.
We are, we're cutting all this.
What are we at now?
This is all in the editing room floor.
Oh, it is?
No, it doesn't matter.
I'm having a great time with you.
I don't feel like I'm on a podcast.
You're one of the fun ones because
I think you're hilarious, I watch you.
I'll stop and watch your act and we're there.
I always like talking to you.
We talk, sometimes we talk real in the back,
which is very odd.
That's okay.
I like that.
How do you feel about that?
I like it.
Because here, I'll tell you why.
Okay.
I do this with you specifically.
Yeah.
And don't take this the wrong way.
I will.
Okay.
But there's something about you that reminds me of me.
Not that you're that much older than me,
but a couple years, right?
I know how old I am.
I know.
I know the gap, but I'm not gonna say it.
Yeah, yeah, but you are a little older than me, right?
And I just, there are times, especially in specific topics,
like I wanna know your advice.
Yeah. Yeah, that's all.
But we do have normal talks and I like it
because I think everyone thinks you're more of a goofball than me.
So I think when you're on stage, you're very funny.
And when you're back there, you do goofy stuff and you're a good laugher.
You're a good laugher here.
You laugh at us.
Very sweet.
And it's always good to hang out with someone that laughs.
Some comedians are very tight with the laughs, you know.
They don't laugh at anything you say.
They just laugh at their own stuff or whatever.
So you're fun to talk to, you're one of the ones fun to talk to there.
So if we, we can just bullshit without trying and to be funny, we just talk, it's fun.
I think that you, the skillset that you have to have, no matter what kind of comedian you
are, you have to have social IQ, being able to read the room. And so when you hang out with comedians,
if you're at a party, it's really boring
or some award thing and you're with regular people
and then a comedian comes in, it's always they know
what the elephant in the room is.
That's the wrong thing that person wore
or this is the worst part of the show,
they should have cut this.
And so I find comedians just a very enjoyable,
the serious ones.
There is a bond, there is a bond that you have
when you're in like a regular place
and then you see a comic walk in and you're like,
oh, oh, you know what I mean?
It's better now.
Like a showbiz party, you go run to the comics.
Right, right.
I have a question about your,
you have a podcast called Tiger Town or something, right?
Tiger, Super Belly.
Tiger Town is actually a good name too.
How long do you tape those?
How long is a regular guest tape?
Or is it very?
Well, it's been around for 10 years almost now.
We've done over 500 episodes.
I know.
I did that one a long time ago too.
Wow.
Yeah, and you did it during COVID.
And I do it every Monday.
What's great about Tiger Town, Yeah, and you did during COVID. And I do it every Monday.
What's great about Tiger Town,
Tiger Belly, is that what's great about it is
I've set it up so that I literally open my eyes,
walk down the stairs, sit down.
I don't know who the guests are during the day.
I hear the word.
That's great.
Literally, like one time I sat down
and then Carrot Top walked in.
I'm like, who, Carrot Top?
You know what I mean?
Carrot Top!
And then you do it, you know what I mean?
And you have some backup now.
You have about six people there.
That's another thing I've done,
is I've gotten two or three cast of characters.
Like you gotta have the one that's kind of like,
boo, you know what I mean?
And then you have the smart Alec house.
It's like a show, it's a full show. It's a show. So you don't have to carry the weight. You're the one that's kind of like, you know what I mean? And then you have the smart, alley-hous. It's like a show, it's a full show.
It's a show, so you don't have to carry the weight.
You're the anchor.
But you, whatever you say works,
but you can wait for your spots.
Now with Bad Friends is hard because
that's where you have to be completely,
because Andrew's so fast.
Right, and he will bust your balls on any turn.
Right, so it's like,
bop bop bop bop bop, you know what I mean? And it's hard. Sometimes he'll go
Right and I'll go
Nothing. Right?
Nothing. Right?
Right and then you're like oh and then you start I'm drowning.
Yeah. Sometimes I go sometimes at the end of it I'll go we can't we can't enter that one.
The whole thing. And we don't enter that one the whole thing. Yeah, we don't oh really
There's a backpack, but he's pretty good about really just people like that bail on the entire
We have one episode. Okay, I don't know you could do that
Try this this is fun. Mm-hmm. We have one episode we did early on
Well, it was going so horribly we went you know what? Let's do one two hour episode where we can say whatever we want.
I'm talking about.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, anything foul, racist, cancelable, cancelable.
Every line was a cancel.
Right.
It was so freeing.
We left.
Yeah, of course.
We left so hard. It's in a vault it's the funniest. We laughed so hard.
It's in a vault somewhere.
I don't know who has it, right?
But if that goes out, oh, oh, big trouble,
big trouble, little China.
I mean, yeah, I mean, but there is something
therapeutic about it.
It was really freeing to be able to just say
whatever you wanted to say, you know what I mean?
Yeah, it sounds like a blast.
Yeah, yeah.
The stuff I do behind the scenes with friends a blast. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, your show's a blast.
The stuff I do behind the scenes with friends
is what I really. Dane is funny.
Dane, I can say stuff. All that stuff is V stuff.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That is the rickiest piece of shit table
I'm sorry you're dealing with.
This is, you know what, and I have to say,
what a beautiful place.
This place?
Because I went to your,
I've been to your other places.
Oh yeah.
And I haven't been to this one.
You like this one?
Well, you don't probably know, people don't know that you're shooting in your house.
Is that what it is?
No, I don't care.
I thought you were joking.
No, I'm being fucking real.
Your last place was nice, but this one?
Ooh la la, get me a beyond beyond beyond.
It's good.
I like it.
It's alright.
Right?
Well, Bobby, I will take you for dinner.
I'll take you out for dinner soon.
You're sometimes tough to get to dinner
because I like to go early.
Okay.
But thanks for coming here.
We've already did 530.
It is a problem for Nine Club Comics.
I don't say it's not 530, it's 630.
No, but I like to eat, I would eat at 530.
Yeah, he likes it.
Thanks for having me on guys.
That was fun.
Guys, we just walked by.
Bobby Lee basically kicked him out
because he could have gone on forever.
He's so goddamn hilarious.
I love the awkwardness and funnyness,
but he's just, we're all weird and it's very funny.
Love the dude, very sweet guy.
He was just pulling out and I said,
you should turn your car around.
He goes, no, I can back out.
I go, no.
Well, there's a driveway that's a little tricky.
It get right at the gate, it gets small. And I go, it's kind of hard. And he goes, no, no, I can back out. I go, no. Well, there's a driveway that's a little tricky. It get right at the gate, it gets small.
And I go, it's kind of hard.
And he goes, no, no, I'll just back out.
Heather and I went to the window and watched him.
Just go, just took his mirror off.
And I was like, anyway, I told him,
I'll do some spots at the store and work it off.
But super funny.
You laughed, Dana.
He's a great guy, right?
Well, as you saw, folks, he's the kind of guest you don't need to do any prep.
None.
So I did none because I'd seen, I know enough of him.
I've seen him enough to know that, you know, he's, he's just, well, first of all,
there's very few comedians who have a real great laugh.
Usually we have a pretty good laugh, but we're the ones trying to get the laugh.
He's really funny and has an incredible laugh.
So he brought all this energy right away.
And so that was just, went by very fast.
Like I was saying, he's a fun comic
because he will laugh at your stuff
and he does go back and forth with you
and it keeps the balls in the air.
And when you're interviewing him,
he does so many podcasts,
he knows not to just sit there
and give Mousey the lancers.
He answers, tells a story, laughs, stands up.
That's what you want.
So we, I mean, for a guy we've been talking about
having him in and I see him out
and Santino's coming in soon.
It's like, we kind of waited on Theo and Tim Dillon
and these guys for this
chunk of shows and they're going to be great. We have our bucket list. You know, I would say I
learned from him and you did a little bit too, but it is kind of interesting. Like maybe I shouldn't
say this, but I feel like I just want to say this. I hope it's okay. That's me illustrating what I was.
My point was it's very much you lean in, even you did it.
I don't know if I should bring this up.
So when he did that precursor, it's good podcasting.
Maybe I shouldn't really bring this up,
but it was one line.
Sometimes people that I see on podcasts
that don't do a lot of them
or that aren't that interesting go,
they intentionally go, I've never told you this story.
I've never told the story I'm podcasting for. And everyone's like, and they're like, anyway, never told you this story. I've never told the story I'm podcast for.
And everyone's like, and they're like,
anyway, here's my dumb story.
But they want you to be like, where's the clip guy?
Get ready.
And then they bore the shit out of you.
I probably shouldn't say this.
It's a really good one.
I'm gonna get in trouble if I say this.
And I have 10 of those in my pocket,
but I have followed my own advice.
I like that we finally turned the air conditioner
after me and Bobby in this sweatshop.
I stole this jean jacket and I took it off
I Want T-shirt today because it was so warm.
It was so hot in here.
And now I'm glad I took it because it's so cold.
But anyway, that was Bobby.
I had a blast.
Dana had a blast, right?
Love, love, love you.
And we'll look forward to the other guys
like Santino, Tim, Theo, they're all coming in soon.
And we're gonna get this wave of dudes
and thanks for watching.
We will actually have women too.
And some women.
