Episode Date: October 26, 2021

He’s baaaack… Bobby Lee (Mad TV, Tiger Belly) joins us this week to discuss balancing expectations and relationships transitioning from his off the wall personality decades ago into the slightly less off the wall podcast giant he is today. Bobby Lee and I catch up on each other's lives and delve deep into how Bobby has changed as a human being in his later years. We talk about his other podcast Bad Friends, poorly-timed racy jokes, and an insane story that involves a hot tub and some Hollywood names you might just recognize. Learn more about your ad choices.

he always gets open and deep and personal and he's charming as hell i really enjoyed this podcast i always love him having love having him on i like to give him shit he gives me more shit um so without further ado let's uh get inside of bobby lee it's my point of you you're listening to inside of you with michael rosenbaum Inside of you with Michael Rosenbaum was not recorded in front of a live studio audience. Are you sure you didn't paint your house? It feels like a different... I added this wall here and I, you know, the wood.

But even when I walk into the living room, it's like a different vibe. Is it a good vibe? You seem like it's not. No, it's, uh... I always had a perception of your house in my mind. What perception? That I hated it. Well, oh, God.

Like, it's like, uh, it's something that Jim Henson would live in or whatever. You know what I mean? The Muppets? Well, you create like, you know, felt, you know, puppets. Why do you think that is? Why do you think I have all these things? Because of the, no, it's the decor. It's a museum.

The wood. It just feels like some old-timey 1970s guy. But then when I walked in it this time, it was like, it felt fun like Moriarty's house. You know? Fun. Well, Moriarty's house wouldn't be fun. it would be he's up to no good, but it just has this like

1800s. 1800s now. We're back. We've gone further. Let's go further back. Yeah. 1800s guy who like is trying to foil, you know, Sherlock Holmes.

So I don't know whether you like it, the house or not. I like that because I like movies that have that vibe to it. Kind of a, not noir, but kind of an old school feel. I wouldn't live here. Okay. Well, I've been to your house. I mean, I like your house.

Which one? The new one. Okay. I've been there. Did you forget I was there? Mm-hmm. You did. I don't get to talk to you very much. I don't know how this happened. Well, go ahead. Well, I think you texted me a couple weeks ago about, hey, can you get Pauly Shore? Yeah, I thought he'd be fun of guest. Okay. But I felt threatened by it. You did. So then I was just like, what about me?

But you're always welcome on the show. This is like your third time on the show. You're always welcome. Now, I used to be one of your favorites on Tiger Belly. I haven't been on Tiger Belly. I know I'm not as famous as a lot of the people you get on there. That's crazy to think that. Is it crazy?

It's not the truth. Is it insecure? It's not even the truth. Because I remember auditioning for Smallville and not even getting anywhere near. Who did you audition for in Smallville? This old lady. I don't know what a part was, but it was an old white lady

that was casting it. Oh, you auditioned for an old white lady? No, no. It's like, wow, diverse. But my point is that and then when the show came out, I was a kid then, but when the show came out,

I was like, oh, these are real stars. That's all. Listen. You have got. The hawk. You call Ryan the eagle. It's the eagle. What do the eagle sound like?

Eagle face. How do they just sound? Ryan, how do you feel about being known as Eagle Face to Bobby? It's nice to be remembered. Yeah, that's the first thing he said. He goes, I do remember he called me Eagle Face last time. Yeah, it's just the profile's nice. Back to the talk about guests and stuff.

Sorry. Because I watched an interview with you and you. With who? It was with just you and George and Kalila from Tiger Belly. Okay. And it was a clip where you talked about how you do ask guests to come on the show. show. And you do text them, but you hate the rejection of them not answering you. Like Rhonda Rousey, you text her to say, I'd love you on my podcast, and she never responded.

Yeah, I got her. The big one for me now is Ike Barrett-Holtz. I don't know who that is. Who is that? The comedy guy. He was on Mindy Project. Okay. You asked him. Well, I worked with I for six years on Matt TV, right? And him and I traveled together. And we were, bestie very close and then when mad got canceled you know he had a pretty good really good career you know really good career and um i've asked him maybe four times in my life and every time it's some excuse it's just fine i believe the excuses but i can no longer ask again does he do other podcasts no but that's at the point jordan peel who was i was on mad tv with yeah he did it he did it and he this is after get out so mind you he was really busy you know and he still did it right

and i you know i understand that i love ike and i'll forever love him from the bottom of my heart but um i wouldn't save him if a snake bit him you wouldn't suck that ven i don't think i would right at this point until he does it I embarrass myself quite frequently. I ask a lot of guests. I need guests every week to be on the show. And you want people to watch the show. Listen, follow.

And so I have to go after them because I don't really have anybody that helps me for the most part. And so I get dealt with rejection constantly. But when you do land, though, you get good ones. You get guests, I can't get. I could help you get them. I don't want them.

I want Jordan Peel. No. He wouldn't do it. No. Why not? I can get you to Polly Shore. Let's start there. He lives in Vegas.

I asked you. I know. I know he does. But when he's in town next, you'll see what happens. So what is this rejection? You don't like being rejected by your friends, especially when you reach out to them? I think the problem is they, a lot of my friends are, have acting careers. And it's not acting, right?

So it's like they don't, also they're not privy to the kind of office. audience that I have and it would be a positive thing for their life, I think, if they did it. So they think that it's also, I have to also say that I've changed. So it's like people that I met back 25 years ago, 20 years ago think that I'm going to like make them eat my pubes or something. Right? Because they think that I'm that guy. The old Bobby League.

Yeah. And it's like, no, I've changed. Like, I'm not as wild. You're still wild. Yeah, but I'm pretty tame, though. I saw an interview on Q-13, Seattle, where you were about to do a show at the parlor. And the interview, you just pretty much kept moving to him as close as possible,

sitting on his lap, you kissed him. And unless that was 20 years ago, I don't think it was. Probably 10 years ago. And also, I have to say, I don't remember that. Okay. It is something that I probably would do But you have to understand those morning shows Are you've done them

Oh yeah You have to give them something That I have to do something To make it weird And to make it awkward Because I don't I'm not in there I'm not like some of these comics

Like Carlisman C or whatever That have just joke joke joke joke joke joke And do his bits Stolen joke joke joke joke joke No I'm kidding That's a funny joke now Thanks But anyway

Let's move on you don't want to talk about that i don't i do want to talk about um how i've changed though and i think tell me it's because i'm i'm almost 50 yeah you're turning 50 next year no in a couple weeks okay are you having a party i was going to have one right but um i know that you had a birthday dinner to invite me but my point is is that um i had 15 people come over and you you're too busy for me. You're too famous now. You're famous now. If you threw out a line, that would have been suffice. You would come. If you threw out a line, who knows? I will always throw out a line for now when I didn't want to bother you. I don't think that's what it was. I don't think that I was

in your mind. I think you would have had a boring time. You wouldn't know a lot of people and you feel uncomfortable and I saved you. Well, I know you're a board game kind of like, let's do charades kind of guy. I've been to your parties. Well, we can't have those parties nowadays. I know, but you're one of those guys that let's get together and play I don't know let me think of a make up a game you were thinking risk Kamachanzi or whatever

Kamenchanzi we put the blocks on the thing and then we try to pull it I don't know what it is but my point is is that you're that type of guy it's it's like old time me 1970s Jim Henson party Moriarty Moriarty party So you don't enjoy me

I mean look at that Yeah there's masks and things that's No but what kind of mask is that That's from small of lie war of that in an episode. I know, but is that not a Jim Henson kind of a thing? I mean, there's some Jim Henson puppets up there. Yeah. Yeah. It's weird. Is it weird? It is. Maybe because, you know, I, maybe it's a distraction. The more distractions I have in the house, the less I have to deal with me. By the way, I miss you. I miss you. I miss you. Do you know I was, I had,

I've had anxiety. That's your problem. You have a vibe. I have a vibe. You like his vibe? No, it's like almost like he's nervous or something He's not nervous, I'm nervous No, everything's fine Okay No, he's like fidgeting and you know He's writing What is he writing?

He's writing notes He's saying cut this, this is boring Yeah, all of this, you're gonna call this? No, this is great Yeah So you're turning 50 So you're not gonna have a party You're not gonna do anything

I was gonna have a big shindig I was gonna get a restaurant I was gonna invite as many people as I could But then Delta happened Delta variant Yeah, and it's just like, you know, we're still in it. There was many thoughts that I had like, because I got Vax and all that stuff that I was like, oh, this is the new age. You know, this is, and it's like, no, we're still in it.

It's terrible. So can't you get some friends together, like me? No, I can't do it because of, because of Kalila. What do you mean you can't do it because of your wife? I didn't realize you're married. I'm not married. It says online you were married. I know.

You're married. I know. You do know. That's good. You know that. Do you think we're married? I think you got married in 2016 and you really didn't tell people. We are married.

Okay, fine. It's my interview, you know. I've been getting, I've been getting some anxiety lately. There we go. And my thing is that I get overwhelmed by everything now, things that I didn't normally get overwhelmed with. So every little thing gets me overwhelmed. Do you deal with this stuff?

Do you deal with, are you overwhelmed by things? Because it seems like you used to be. Now, the new Bobby, you've got so many new, so much new shit you're doing so many new shows. I mean, I can name the fucking shows There's reservation dogs One episode One episode But what's the

You have a development deal at CBS It's almost over in two weeks Okay And you're something else You did you did a movie with Eli Roth The director of Right with Kate Blanchett

That comes out next summer I mean you've got a lot of things going on here I have two lines Let's look at things in perspective You don't have two lines They flew you overseas I know But because of COVID

though, this is what it would have been like if that movie was shot in L.A., right? Shoot two days. Thank you. And then you never see anybody again, right? Right. But because of COVID, I was flown to Hungary and because of their laws and restrictions, right? The production was like, basically, you have to stay here. And I go, well, when am I shooting?

You're shooting this date, and then you're not going to shoot for another three and a half weeks that's your next scene so it's like what do i do oh you could just stay in the hotel so i spent close to a month doing nothing in a in a hotel in hungry you had to be going out of your mind well i know the problem there's there's there's an actress named janina gavankar who in the movie she's like the my boss pretty much so she kind of had the same days off of as me. So you hung out with her. So I hung out with her and then like at the four seasons there, right, there was, you know, there's like five or six productions. So it was fun to go to like the restaurant and to see

all the stars because you would see like Oscar Isaac walk by, you know, with this plate of his omelet. You know what I mean? Or you would see John Krasinski or all these people. Did you talk to any of these people? No, but I would like do like a little smirk and look and they would lock eyes and then I would go back into my like bagel. Did they recognize you at all? No, nobody recognized you. No, it's funny because even in this movie, I had to, like, kind of tell people what I did.

Like, you know, I'm in the movie, like, there was a couple of lunches where, well, you know, you know Jamie Lee Curtis, right? I've heard of her. God. But do you know her? Yes, I don't know her personally, right? Well, she is a mensch.

You love her. Well, I didn't know, I would, but, like, so the first day I went there, because you have to imagine, like, you know, Kevin Hart, Jack Black. All these people are in it, right? This movie. I have two scenes. No one's going to give a shit about my character, right? So when I was flying too hungry, I'm like, I knew that I had a month off. So in my head, I'm like, you're just going to be by yourself. I don't know anybody.

No one's going to want to hang out with you. Right? So you're already, I brought my PlayStation. I'll just play 15 hours of war zone a day, whatever. So when I went into my hotel room, beautiful hotel room there was a letter on my bed and it was written by Jamie Lee Curtis she goes welcome to the show

here's my number or whatever let's hang out so the next day she texts me she goes downstairs noon I mean yeah noon brunch or whatever so it went down there

and she's in the movie she's in the movie obviously so I'm there with her I met Penn Gillette from Pennanteller right and then a week later I shot a scene and then a week later I had another lunch

with Cape Lanchant Wait, alone? No, with a bunch of people But it was like These are two, three hour lunches because it was on a Saturday, whatever And they were fun You had fun, I think I'd be overwhelmed a little bit

No, in the beginning it's not But then you realize that like We're all that they were, you have to imagine that all these stars had come out of this pandemic For many of them This is their first job back and so many of them they've been

locked up for over a year so they're excited so they're kind of like they want to like bond and you know even though like I'm pretty much like an open micer you know what I mean like it's a newbie some guy have really you know I've done a line here to and things but

but they treated me like I was part of the group part of the group yeah so it felt cool now it was magical actually who are you still could you text right now Jamie Lee Curtis I do have her number but I would never text her right now no no no no no no no I will not why don't you just say hey just so I'd say hi great working with you miss you no because I don't want to be intrusive

the guy have so many numbers on my phone do you probably have these too but you can get her on the podcast well I was to see here's my plan though my plan is to do it when the movie's about to come out and then ask them all I will ask them all then you have Kate Blanchett's number no She was one I don't have How was she in person though? I don't want to get emotional But I don't want to get emotional Get emotional

But it's like She's not only funny But she's so sweet Like there was one moment where I was like Somebody had said a joke And everyone was kind of laughing at the table And she was literally right here Right

And she goes the people are like so imagine she goes ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha and she did this that's me right she goes grabbed your shoulder and rubbed it and rubbed it like that and I go ha ha ha ha ha ha I go no I didn't do that but I went ha ha ha ha ha you know I was like

cool you know what I mean Kate Blanchette touched you yeah part of the game right and then like but it was funny then like other people would come to the production that like we're shooting later so I got to hang out with Gina Gershon and she's a one night

we were at dinner and she goes I'm just gonna get drunk and so I just sat there with her and this other actor named Ben Davis and they just started

doing shots of this weird like Hungarian beverage you know you know I don't drink right but for hours just yapping it up

and then Josh Hartnett was on the next table of this restaurant and they came to the table so it was a whole magic and then you come back to L.A. and you're like

I'm a podcaster you're me like You know what I'm like You know what I am No you're not Yeah I am Why do you think that You've done tons of movies

You've done TV shows You're developing things We did a good one Is it? But listen Still the funniest line You know the funniest line Was when Miguel Nunes

In the movie I was kidding And I said I'm never doing another Jamie Kennedy movie And he says He goes motherfucker A motherfucker Jamie Kennedy I never do another Jamie Kennedy movie

That was really funny That was the best line. So when you're with Kate Blanchet and all these people in Europe. Yeah. And Hungary. Hungry. Yeah. Do you feel like Bobby Lee, can you be yourself and be that different kind of funny, quirky guy?

No, no, no, no. Or you're just quiet and you're not yourself. You end up hiding certain elements of your, I'm going to tell you a story that happened then, all right? And this is why I changed my behavior. Because so I forgot to tell you. So Jamie, the first lunch we had, right? There's another actor named Cheyenne Jackson that's also in the movie. Very talented guy.

Handsome, can dance, do it all, right? So Jamie goes, let's go by, let's walk to the river. So this is where I threw in my personality and it backfired. Oh, boy. So I go, so we were walking along this river. Naked? No. Oh, okay. Worse.

Okay. So there's like eight of us. And along this river, along the side are these bronze shoes. stuck on the edge you know part of the there's a rose of it right and i guess back during the holocaust oh god yeah the nazis came in and they just lined up jewish people and they shot killed them and threw them into the river it's not going through a good place already right so um shyan jackson goes she he sees little shoes right and everyone kind of gathers around the little shoes and he goes oh my god a little boy

and people are like emotional so i go it could have been a midget nobody laughed no not on it worse they all collectively turned around and walked away so i'm now just with by the shoes You're ostracized. So my head's down like, it's the first day. It's the first fucking day, dude. So I'm not, my head is down looking at the shoes and just in my head, you know, you go through the thing. I was like, dude, why did you do that?

This is not a bunch of comedians. You mean, this is, your gut is wrong. You cannot do that again, right? So the whole trip, there were so many instances where I wanted to fucking throw out a banger right and I just went my filter went no stop you know so after that you didn't do no so I had to hide an aspect of my fucking personality did you ever think of saying sorry about the midget too no I never even brought it up I pretended as if it never happened oh god I know it was terrible and then in fact I think Cheyenne Jackson right I think he he was very nice

right but I could tell that maybe it was in my own head but like because I said that joke he couldn't get that too close to me but then like when I first when he was there in my first scene and I did well then after that it kind of resolved itself right

who did you act with did you act with Kate Blanchette? No no I had one scene with her but it was almost I get I get tased right and then I fall on my back

And then Kate Blanchett and Kevin Hart have a scene over my body. And you have to just lie there for it. And I'm laying there. So I guess that's a scene. Sure. Yeah, yeah. You're the Taze guy. I'm the Taze guy.

Were you astonished by Kate's acting? Amazed. I'm just amazed by like just sitting there. Like there was one scene where Gina Gershon had a big monologue kind of thing to say. And I'm reversed. I have no line, but I'm in the scene. And I'm just standing in there and watching it. You know, because it's like, you know, the shows that I do, which I love the shows I do.

I've done, I've been on sitcoms and I've been on, um, sometimes I do Magnum PI, some of these shows. And it's like the energy and that I think the, the level is completely different, you know? It's like, you know, when you do TV and you know this is you feel like there's a sense of urgency because it's like they have to, yeah, they have to move on. You know what I mean? It's like you do a couple of takes. So, like, that's fine, let's just move on. You know, even though, like, I want a different, another tag. But with, you know, films, as you know, as well,

is this is that they let things breathe. There's more time. A lot more shooting. There's more shooting, more angles, more, you know, there's more discussions about the scene where it's like the director will go. Yeah, it's just the tone and the energy. I think, you know what I mean?

Probably just slow it down, whatever it might be. You know what I mean? It's like a different vibe, you know? So it's like, you just want to, you just want to learn how to do all of it, I guess. Did you feel like you wanted to be Go ahead, take a drink of your Red Bull You can do that, you've eyed it

How many Red Bulls is that for you today? Just every night in my head I hear It could have been a midget Like every night I go to bed And that just kind of rings in my head Maybe one day It echoes, it could have been a midget Could have been a midget, midgett

Could be a rap song Yeah, yeah Could have been a rap song Yeah and first of all You don't even say, you're not even supposed to I should have said a little person Because you're not even say midget anymore I was going to say, when you're on a set with these folks, do you still get, because I know you used to be where you're always thinking of failing, you're always thinking of like, fuck, I'm going to get fired, I'm going to get this, they're going to hate me.

Do you not do that anymore? Do you feel like, do you think you're more confident now with just your acting and your ability? Or do you get overwhelmed? No, no, no, no. It's different. It's different. How is it different? And what did you do to make it different?

I've never wanted to talk about this, but I guess I will. It's podcasting. So, you know, before when I would be in things, like years ago, I did a show called Animal Practice. I didn't have a podcast. And at the time, my stand-up, I wasn't making a lot of money on the road. So everything relied on, you know, I have to become a series regular. It's got to run for seven years. So then I can make, you know, my forever money.

right but now it's like acting is not the forefront of the thing it's like I um if I get fired

fine right you really think that no but also secondly no but that that's there but there's a second element to it which is also I've done so many

things I came to a realization that I've done 10 movies. I've been a series where I go on three shows, but I've done six pilots, right? I've done so many guest stars, right? I've done on every, and it's like, I understand how it all works, and I also understand that I'm good. Wow. That's an accomplishment. Like, there's, I can sincerely say that there's no one that can do it the way I do it. right and i know that i can kill it in a different way than another actor can not that it's better

or worse i just know that when like when because i mean when eli hired me eli it was it wasn't because i mean i auditioned but eli was like no i saw you on something else and that sprung up you know i mean that bobby would be perfect for this role right so it's like if he saw me in something else that means that he thought it was good, right? So then, you know, you kind of think, you know, and the first scene was with Kevin Hart, and I remember it was one of those scenes where they had these gigantic green screens

you're in the desert, right? And there's like these machines. It's a big sci-fi movie, right? There's like hundreds of extras with guns and, you know what I mean? And so it's like, so many extras. What's it called? The movie's called Borderland.

It's based on a video game. So I remember walking from the tent to this thing And I just remember because I saw Rosamai Yunus do this She said I'm the best, I'm the best, I'm the best And when she, right, before her she delivered lines No, Rosnamuiz is a fighter Okay

And I just said to myself, I'm the best, I'm the best, I'm the best You're going to kill it, you're going to kill it, you're going to kill it, you're going to kill it Like this mantra Positive reinforcement. Oh yeah And when I walked on set, I killed it. Like, I, like, Eli's like, we don't even have to do another. Let's just do another one for fun. Just like that.

Yeah, yeah. So it's like, and it was like, you know, I had like 10 lines in this thing. I had to walk around and grab things. And, you know, I tied up Kevin Hart. You know what I mean? So I'm like kind of torturing him, I guess. And I'm just kind of like doing this little tiny speech. Right.

Not huge. Not going to win me any awards. But it's just like, I know how to do it, and I did it. So you think because of the podcast success and the millions of dollars you're making out. No, it's not the money. It's what it is is when I go on the road and I see Tiger Valley fans or like, because I'm in New York shooting something right now too. And I'm on the street in Brooklyn, right, on my day off.

And people coming up to me going, it's a different thing than Mad TV. It's like they know me. you know they'll walk up and they'll sit down and we'll talk and it's just a different is it maybe you feel like you belong is what you're saying like like you like no I feel like I have a family you mean I have you do I have a family of people I don't get me wrong I mean obviously I go online and I know all the hate there are people that really hate me really oh yeah like they can't say my laugh you know I mean they think that I'm gross or whatever it might be right but And you read all that.

Oh, yeah. Not, not, I try not to, but sometimes, you know, you want to read, um, you try to fish for something, a compliment. Do you fight back? No. You don't respond. No. I bet you did in the past. No.

Never. You never once said, fuck you, you know, don't watch if you don't like me. No. Because what does it matter? You know, Mitzie once told me. Mitzi so they know is Mitzi Shore who ran the comedy club

me and the guy named Freddie Soda we used to drive her around back in the 90s and she has a plaque on her she has to have a plaque on her desk that said it is a sin

to support mediocrity so we talked about that and she goes you can't walk up to somebody that doesn't have talent and say that they have talent that's the worst thing you can do and she goes um here's another word of advice she goes do you know what makes a true star and i go what because i was a kid and she goes half the people have to love you

but simultaneously the other half have to hate you just as long as they're talking baby wow and that's sunk the hell in isn't it right so it yeah so the negative stuff it's still good it's still real good how many people listen to tiger belly I don't know you should know that I'm sure you I'm gonna be honest with you

I'm gonna be honest with you it's okay you could put the glasses on Jason Borges don't let me forget these okay I have to be honest with you okay you're going in close I know you're still good you still got me yeah

number one go fuck yourself I'm kidding I don't know that wasn't even the thing and number two Eagle

has landed okay so number one right I literally don't know how much money any of my I have two podcasts I have two podcasts

generate generate right you don't have any idea how much they generate ask Andrew I don't

you have to be a business man I don't have nothing I don't know any of it I don't know any of it does Kalila she does

okay number two I don't know how any of it works I don't know how to turn it on I don't know how it gets on the thing I don't know that sounds like me yeah I don't know how any of it works

right I don't know how they get sponsors I don't know how you make merchandise I don't know what it generates I don't know any of the details this is what I do now is I'll be upstairs and Collila will be like all right we're ready

I'll go down I'll put these things on I'll do it and I walk and I'll do some ads and then I'll walk back upstairs with Andrew he's there 30 minutes before me I show up everything's on Andrew Santino bad friends Andrew Santino I do it and I leave and then what happens is I told him what he does is he'll send the money to my accountant right and my accountant overseas at all and I don't I don't talk to I haven't I literally haven't talked to my accountant in the year do you think this is good yeah why is it good

As someone who's making money who came from poverty, who came from sleeping on Pauly Shore's couch. I know. My point, I'll tell you, because it's like, if I live in a world where everyone's embezzling and people are stealing from me and all that stuff, I already know just I won't be able to function and it's like it makes, it will create all this unhappiness, right?

So there's a degree of trust that goes on, right? So my manager who I've been around for, that's been my manager for 25 years she got me her and my accountant are very close right

they know each other since the 70s or whatever so it's like you know I just there's a level of trust there you know

do you think that helps you being that you're just focusing on what you're doing and not worrying about the money and the business and the technical shit you think that is what helps you yeah

but it's also I know when there's danger So it's like Years ago before Tiger Valley I had my same accountant And there was one point where I was spending So much money on clash of clans What?

Clash of Clans I don't know what that is You know what that is Ryan? Yeah, phone game It's a phone game Okay I had spent $10,000 buying troops for clashing clans

I don't play That's why I might stop playing it Okay good But in like two months I'd racked up 10,000 Because I wanted to build the fortress And you have to pay pay you know what I mean online right so it's like $10,000 right and then my accountant

called me and goes whatever that is clash of clans you delete it right now you don't have the money you're you're running out of money we can't pay this this and this and this there was a time where I how many years ago is this this is eight years ago he's like or whatever clash of class class seven years ago he's like done it's over no more cash so I deleted it right so it's like I know when there's danger. Clash of what? Clans? You spent $10,000 on a phone app. Yeah.

Follow and listen on your favorite podcast platform. Hey, when you're doing bad friends with Andrew Santino, do you guys ever start doing it and go, this sucks, let's redo it? Last Sunday, we did one for an hour and a half, and we, at the end of, somebody said, I think I said, at the end, I go, yeah, this is.

This is unnerable. And he goes, what? It's unerable. He goes, I know. I go, what's wrong? He's like, I'm tired. I'm tired too. We're not connecting.

All that shut, that hour and a half was a waste. He goes, what do you want to do? Let's meet tomorrow. So Monday we met. It was better? Not, they said it was better. I didn't think it was better. But it happens all the time.

Andrew and I have a podcast that we can never air or we will no longer have careers you have an episode we have one episode that's in a vault where we went you know because we had one of those days where it was like it's not connecting i go why don't we just experiment and let's just do one where we can say whatever we want just anything just to be anything to provoke so we did one where we could say anything right racist things you know sexual things and things that will get us canceled and we had the best podcast we could ever do because it was just raw it was so funny where i would have to grab my side and fall in the ground and go stop stop we got to stop

i'm going to die laughing like it was so aren't you afraid that somebody will get that and air it how it's an a vault like i said you took the tapes or the disc yeah yeah yeah yeah but it's it's like um it was so freeing you know i wish in in many ways the world was like that it's kind of a shame that you can't kind of say what you want i mean you know you got to be a little sensitive but nowadays it's like uh you know i'm not going to mention any names because then i'll get lambasted but like you know one guy said something 10 years ago and he just lost his job that's like people don't evolve anymore people say stupid shit if you heard half the shit i say don't know if we're going to ever i think it's going to get worse and worse or it will get i don't i don't

know yeah man i mean it's here i mean i'll throw my two cents in it's like um i've said a lot of things i mean first of all i've done thousands of hours but i don't even i can't even calculate it over the last 20 years of radio shows and podcasts and all the things i've said and it's like it got to the point where I've realized that pretty much everything that I'm saying, I'm making up, right? Maybe there's like a little kernel of truth to it, but it's like embellishment. How do we extend it? You know what I mean?

How do I make it exciting? And I would, there's a bunch of shit that I would hear from other friends and make it my own story. And there's just so many instances that are like that. That it's like, it's, it's. just don't say the right thing all the time you it's not even that it's just like I just feel like anything said in this domain

like in terms of radio or podcast right especially when it's a comedy podcast and you're a comedian right that issue like Shane Gillis you know that guy that said the Asian stuff like he's going to do my podcast in a week or whatever he got fired from SNL that it's the most

atrocious thing I've ever heard in my fucking life what did he say he says chink or I don't know what he might have said right but you know here's a guy an actor who got cast on SNL and then 10 years ago I don't know how long ago it was but he said some Asian slur right on a podcast

and he gets fired from SNL is the most it's so atrocious right that they would do that because podcasting and the things that we say here it's sacred and it's like entertainment if you don't like it don't listen to it

it's fine I don't there's so many people that don't like me. But there's a lot of people that do it. It's fine. I get it. Right. But it's like, you know, if you, you know, I'll, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, you know, I, I, you know, I, I, you know, I, I, you know, we talk so long, and not all of them

are going to be bangers, man. But don't you think that doing a podcast, you can say whatever you want because they can, but they, but they, you can, they can't cancel your podcast. Who can cancel your podcast? But the problem is, is that when you say certain things on podcasts that aren't true and there are strictly for comedy, you can lose your job, not podcasting, but you can lose corporate jobs, right? And you can lose some friends.

You know what I mean? There's certain things that you can lose that I've seen happen, right? Yeah. then that's all you're going to say about that i mean there's really not much to say about it it's like you know i've said it a thousand times now you know something happened it didn't bother me but i was like you you your dad passed away and you came on the show and you were very emotional and uh you know i i love how vulnerable you were it was awesome i appreciate it but you also said i couldn't talk about that you went off the wagon but then you said it on the ovan show so first i

was a little upset that oh probably at the time probably at the time i didn't come out with and then i decided in a day or two afterwards that i would you know people change their minds and people things shift don't take it personally i don't yeah so i did relapse i did i did i think you did i didn't i think you fucking did no i just said i think you're like a little baby no the first thing that came to me was yeah theo's got a way bigger show it makes more sense that's what came to me You know what you what ding dong You fucking idiot Let me just say this

Okay You and I are both in recovery And we both struggled with addiction Don't you think that that could be it You fucking idiot It is it is It's not taking things so personally Let me ask you something

Yeah yeah I just don't like the way You snuck that in there I apologize Yeah I just threw it in there I didn't really mean anything by it I put the glasses back on This is ridiculous

No no keep them off You're more honest when you are I like when you're angry What? when you went off the wagon when you went to rehab oh my god what the fuck man how hard was that that's what i just heard there well oh so you talked about it on theo what what do you want to know what do you want to know how difficult it was to admit it to actually go and what you learned and how you got back on the wagon it wasn't rehab fucked hard it wasn't no fucked hard listen

i thought it was it wasn't by the way shitbox Hey, listeners, when he says fuck tart and all these things, it's, it's friendship. It's pure friendship. You don't need to think that he's being vulgar. I'm not going to angry. I'm just saying that I feel like if you were Larry King, I wouldn't be talking to you like this. I thought we have friends where we have a friendship. I'm not offended.

I think some people might be offended how you're talking to me. No, I don't think they would. I don't think they would. I don't know. But my point, I went to a place to deal with my trauma. Okay. In Arizona. Yes.

It was a place that other people that I knew. knew that I respected went through, right? And my father was so violent growing up, right, that I absorbed all that suffering and all that shock and trauma, right, into my body. It was pinned up there all these years, you know, and it's like I needed a way to deal with it and release it. And that's, by doing that, I got sober again, right? But it wasn't, I didn't go to the place to get sober. In fact, when I was flying, there. Kalila flew there with me to Arizona and I looked at her and I said

you know I'm not going to get sober right she's like I know and I go how do you feel about that and she goes it sucks and I go I'm sorry but by going to that place

I got sober because you released all this other shit yeah I did EMDR I did that certain B.MDR. I did it. I had a breakthrough. Did you have a breakthrough? He's doing the Bobby Lee stare. Ego Face. Help me out. It's just let me finish. Yeah, I'm sorry. It's the first time I've interrupted you today. I've learned. I've become a better podcaster. I did that. I just was trying to like you. I love you.

I know. Go ahead. I did that for comedy purposes. It was good. I liked it. Thank you. So you, you use, you use. It does work. It does work. Yeah. So I did EMDR on this one incident, right, which seemed to, like, do a lot for me, which is when I was like, I don't know, eight or nine years old, maybe younger, I remember my mother waking me up. We were living in Minnesota. And she turned the lights on in the room.

But my brother, Steve and I slept in the same room. and she was crying and she opened her mouth and all like I can see was blood. Are you hard? No, I'm upset. I had to take a deep breath. I thought you were getting an erection. No, could you imagine?

Yes, go on. Go on, please. Yeah. Continue. And so, um, Jesus. My mom goes, in Korean, help me with the door. to my brother i were kids and she closes the door and i can see like you know what to remind me of is shining remember when he cracks open the little crack in the door he sticks his head through here's johnny

here's johnny that's what i felt like so we're just sitting there my mom and i right and and just the door being right and we just knew that it was going to be bad when my dad walked in right it was was going to be bad violence and then um he gets in and that's where my memory stops i don't know what happened but i remember the fear of being by that door with my brother and my mom trying to get my dad to not come in because he was going through a drunken rage right and um we did EMDR on that specific experience and it was um it relieved it it kind of like it kind of like i know it happened but the feeling in my body when i think about it is gone you know yeah and um they say that when you leave trauma in your body and it's not dealt with that it could turn into diseases and it affects

you physically. And I know this from experience because the reason why I was in the fucking place in the first place was when my dad died for a month, I didn't eat or sleep for a whole month. I didn't know why. Every time I went on the road, I was in Portland and I was with two openers, Chelsea, Skidmore and Stephen Randolph, her husband. And we were at a sushi restaurant and I hadn't eaten days. And I go, I'm going to try to eat. I took a bite of some sushi and I vomited it, right? And I didn't know what the fuck was going on. I'm like, my dad dies, and now I can't eat or sleep, right?

So then I, my friend Sosi ran into me, and Sosie said, you look like shit, and I go, I know. And she was with, Kalala was there too. And she's like, you should see my therapist. So I went to a therapist. So I haven't eaten, slept. I'm smoking weed. 24 hours a day right and I'm now in my therapist office and we start talking about my dad and

growing up and the violence that I grew up with and the weirdest fucking thing happened I go all right well thanks for doing the therapy when I got in the car it was in the places in Encino the the therapy from Encino to my house in Studio City I went to three different restaurants restaurants, and I ate a meal. I could eat again. By just talking about it. Just by talking about my dad and that experience. Therapy, dude. So in my head, I was like, oh, there's a connection between how I was raised, right, and the experiences that I had to my physical body now. Right. So then I decided to go away to go to a trauma institute, a psychological institute.

to deal with this stuff and I did EMDR and this and that and I got sober through it and I came out a different guy you know and that same therapist that she, every Thursday I have therapy with this woman.

Every Thursdays you meet. Oh yeah. And do you still talk about deep stuff or do you think everything you've talked about is sort of you... No, we still talk about the past but we also talk about that's another reason why I can show up

on sets and stuff and I have a different... vibe about me you know it's like it's funny it's like years ago before like I remember being like on animal practice and the Russo brothers were my showrunners you know they're huge directors now but I remember like you know being around them and not talking to them like like it was almost they give you notes and then it's like I go back to my chair and I just read my script and there's no like connection right right but now it's like every job that's like every job that I have, no better what, like I'm doing a small part in Sex and the City.

Stop saying small part. Just saying doing a part. It's three or four lines. All right. Well, you're doing a part. And you're right. I should stop doing that. And, you know, Michael, the showrunner, or if it's Eli Roth for the movie, or if it's like, I did this reservation dog Sterling or any of these jobs I have, they're in my cell phone and we're friends and we talk and we goof around and am I myself on set. Wow. And, you know what I mean? And it's a completely different experience.

It's like they're my friends. Producers, like a Magnum PI, the producer of Magnum PI, Gene, you're right? It's one of my best friends. Like, we eat dinner. And that wasn't like you. No. I would not even, I don't, I would think to myself, they don't want to be bothered, right? You're just to hire, you know what I mean?

You're just expendable or whatever. but it's like a completely different vibe. It's like you're there for a reason. You're worthy. Right? Yeah, I believe that I belong there and I believe that I'm just as good or better than anyone else. That's a

make. Can I have your therapist? No. I'm not kidding. I'd like to talk to. I'd be real no. Why not? All right. Why can't I just meet with her once? I really, I mean, if you have such a breakthrough because you are different in many ways that I that I'd love to meet this woman.

I'm different in a lot of ways, yeah. And it's like, you know, I've had a tough month. I don't want to get into it, but a tough couple of months and just a lot of crying and a lot of like confusion. And but then it's also I have great things going on too, but it's like I don't know if I wasn't in therapy that I would be able to deal with all the things that are going on in my life, the good and the bad.

Well, what do you do to deal with them? because like listen we're getting older you're going to be 50 i'm going to be 50 like you know i forced myself to try and work out a couple times a week i try to what do you do you do any exercise no stop you don't do any exercise you really don't whatever during the turning 50 if i die my point is is that my during the if i die die but the pandemic but the pandemic I did like 40 yoga sessions Okay that's a fucking a lot A lot right

And then I stopped doing them Did it help you? I would love it Can I have your yoga teacher? She's great Kara from Hawaii She's the best I mean I she's my first one But like she

Kalala goes to her She's really great And um So you're doing things I'm doing a lot of things yeah But um And you're not overwhelmed I feel great.

You do have, doesn't he seem different than the last time? Yeah. I mean, except when he gets vulgar and yells at me. No, I don't think you, do you think that? I don't care, though. Okay. I mean, if you think that, that's great. No, I do.

Tell me this story really quick before we wrap up. We're done, not done. We're close. Why? I'm just starting going. Well, I want to hear this story. I started getting going. Why is it an hour?

How long is this? Well, why did you quit yoga, first of all? Why did you still quit? She went out of town and then I got someone else. No, it's her. She's the one. Anyway, ask me the question.

I just did. That's the question that you have a written down? Well, no. Oh, yeah, no. Could you imagine I knew what you were going to say? Oh, yeah, yeah. No, you told the story and I just thought it was really funny. Go ahead.

Toby McGuire, Leo DiCaprio, and Walberg were in a jacuzzi at Toby McGuire's house. Stop, stop, stop, okay. It just made me laugh. I understand that. So this is one of those stories that I don't know if it exactly happened the way I said it did. Right. So you're taking out of context. You're embellishing.

You're having fun with it. Right. So this is basically. It's true. I know it. This is the real story. Okay. Okay.

Late at night, I don't know what night it was, but my friend Mike called me and says, I'm drunk. I'm on Vine. Okay. So when you're friends in a drunk, drunk, and it's two in the morning, your natural response is, I'm fucking sleeping. Like, I, you know, what the fuck? Like, I don't, we don't hang out. Like, he's not like, if it was you, I would have, maybe, you know? No, maybe.

Maybe. And he got, I go, where are you? I'm on Vine and this and this. So I pick him up. This must have been 15 years ago. And I go, where's your car? And he goes, I don't remember. So we're just kind of driving on Vine, and then I go on, like, Beverly, and we kind of just do a U-turn back around, you know.

And then he goes, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll tell you. So he kind of goes this way, this way. So we're now going up in the hills. His car was at Toby McGuire's house. Okay. Right. And now, this is where it gets, I don't know, which is he comes in, he goes back there.

He goes, wait here. He comes back and he goes, people are jacuzying. I don't know. I think it was DeCamprear, but I don't know for certain. Maybe Walberg, I'm not for certain, but there are people.

And Toby, maybe you're not certain. Not certain, right? And he goes, do you want to go? And it's like, if it was regular people, I might have done it. Because at the time I was single. Right. Right.

But, like, I think the reason why I didn't was because there were stars there. And it's one of those things where it's like now, knowing who I am now, 100% would have done it. I would have been able to develop relationships. Right.

It would have been fun, right? But now it's like... No, but go back for the rest of the story. What? You said they're all in a jacuzzi together. All right, so the joke was... So, again, Okay, it's not true

Stop, stop, stop, stop. Let me finish, okay? Let me finish. I'm trying. Okay. So the, now, when you go through an experience like that, right? As a comic, you go, how do I make it the story funnier, right? So it's like, oh, the bit is, you know what if they were, like, the reason why I didn't go in was my thinking was, what if, you know, they're gay, right? And they start, you know what I mean?

In the jacuzzi. A little gay orgy going on, right? And now being who I am at the level that I am, if Spider-Man's penis was in my face, right, I would have to suck it. Is that what you're saying? I would do it. Like, in that scenario, I know where I was in the totem pole,

whatever, whatever, and hierarchy. And I would have probably done it. That's why I didn't go in. But that's more of a joke than. Do you think you actually would have? Yes. yeah and you're not gay no but you would probably sucking somebody off

and sucking somebody off doesn't necessarily mean that you're gay okay because it's like I've sucked people off before okay what what don't come again I have okay and um when I was younger I was a kid yeah we talked about that so dark stuff so yeah so it's not that dark I don't care. He gives a shit.

Yeah. And it's like, you know, there have been people thinking that I've been gay. People think I'm gay. It doesn't bother me. Yeah, it doesn't bother me. But it's like if I was in London at a club, right? And I'm like, you know what I mean? Dancing.

And all of a sudden like, you know, what's his name? Thor. Cillian Murphy. Oh, Julian Murphy. Yeah. Okay. Gillian Murphy. Good looking guy.

And Tom Hardy. What, boom, boom, boom. And I'm dancing too, right? And then they were like, two guys approached, these two guys approaching me. And I'm dancing. And I start walking backwards, right? Imagine walking backwards. I'll listen and, oh, shit, I'm through a door.

Because I'm not looking at what's behind me, right? And they're still walking, right? They shut the door. And now you can't hear this music because we're in a room. Right? Yeah, right, right. And then all of a sudden, but I could still, and they pulled their dicks. Pitas is out.

Right? And I'd just be like, and I'll probably do it. you would yeah I don't believe it you don't think I would yeah you wouldn't just now you just now in that look in your eyes

I was like wow he would you like you don't think I would yeah because I don't think that if I if he came out that I did I think it would be I become famous right comedian Bobby Lee blows Celia and Tom Marty

in some weird room at a club right and then if then I could do a whole thing where I'm like didn't happen right and then it's like there's a video maybe there's a video camera in the room

and it sees my style I do the sack for a you usually you know when you're sacks no like we usually want to grow you have to go can you do the sack right but I do it voluntarily in the you know I do it voluntarily in the movie I don't know it's funny of this story or looking at Ryan's face

while you're telling you I don't know if it's like if it was him I wouldn't do it right he's not he's not Tom Hardy yeah I'd push him like what the fuck you doing dog I mean I'm like consider a handy but i'm not sure about anyway all right shit talking with bobby lee these are from my patrons my lovable patrons you have a lot of patrons these are quick rapid fire for you michelle kitt wants no important two-part question what's your secret to keeping your mullet so luxurious looking day in and day out i don't have a mullet anymore

isn't that kind of a mullet no it's just long hair let me see it oh wow it's long yeah you have great hair thanks man my opinion what is a misconception people have about you? Damn crazy. People think that I'm unhinged in crazy. Like I've been to comedy clubs for the first time. Like there'll be a comedy club that like, you know, that every comic has played,

but for some reason I can't get a booking. And then like 10 years later, I finally get a weekend. and I'll show up, I'll do the weekend, and then the owner or the manager will walk into the green room. This happened a couple of times and go, wow, the reason why we didn't book you

because we heard of these wild stories, but you're a really nice guy and, you know, what a great comic. And it's like, I knew, you know, me, in my head, I'm like, there's these misconceptions that I'm like wild or... Unhinged. Unhinged, but it's like,

I've never not done the show. I've been courteous to everybody. I tip well. I'm nice to the staff you know Raj where were you when you took the greatest shit of your life

I have a feeling I know this answer the greatest shit in my life I guess that's what he wants to know Raj how dare you I there's one notorious shit that I shit

on the side of a guy's house with Kalila in the car screaming at me going what the fuck you're doing and then I went there's no fucking you know bathrooms around you right and I I shit on a guy's house good for you I shit my mom's backyard once do you had to go real bad yeah and uh I got up the the the you know the the stuff you have in the car in the glove compartment about the car I took the plastic bag out and I found some Kleenex tissue and she wasn't home and I just had a stromboli at pizza chef pizza king in indiana and i jumped her fence because she wasn't home and she was supposed to be i

had to and i took a human shit right in her backyard and the first thing i did she got home i go mom i just fucking took a shit in your backyard she goes i i i ate a pizza king i go i eat a pizza king stromboli i ate a pizza king stromboli and i took a shit in your backyard and she goes i thought we were going out for dinner uh last question is he see my question is if bobby lee and rosy could be an any movie or TV series duo, which duo would y'all be in? Oh, something that's already existed? Maybe, yeah. Yeah.

I think we'd be really great together. I think you and I should do a movie where I was thinking about this the other day. So when you see, you know how you see like these sci-fi movies where like a gigantic starship, right? We'll get attacked, right? and then you're always like looking at like whoever's the captain and people that are in you know what I mean the movie that stars right right and but you never know what happens to the engineers like to two loser guys that no one likes that are way back in the bowels of the ship yeah the bowler ship we just you know we're just the guys that screw this one thing right right and so like two guys

right that have that position maybe a group of guys right just complete losers the ship had the starship has like 10,000 people on it right it gets attacked by this you know menace alien force right and then you we without even the captain's order we take we we we go into life pods whatever those you know those pet pawns right and you get out and we get out we're the only ones alive yeah they get destroyed and we end up on a planet right And it's a bunch of these losers, right? Kind of trying to survive. That's a great idea.

Yeah, I mean. And it's like, but somehow we have to, I don't know how save the day or, you know what I mean? We become this, you know, anti-heroes or whatever. I don't know what the thing is. Survivors. Yeah, but I want, we indirectly save the day by being accidentally saved the day. And it's our journey. It's our, all these episodes would be about how these two are adapting and all these things in their friendship.

Maybe one of the guys, right, stole something. out of like that maybe there's an artifact right that these alien people are trying to get one of our loser friends finds this artifact right then we do take these life pods down right and then we end up on this thing but it's like now this gigantic evil force is still looking for this orb or whatever right and joe has it like joe what the fuck you know what you get that joe right that's Ryan no I mean I know but no the character's name of Joe right just fucking Joe right and then you know she was like I just want to make a name for myself

you know what I mean I was gonna go back to earth and sell it or whatever whatever I might be whatever right and it's like now we have we're high you know I don't know I like this idea losers though they're they're addicted to some alien drug you know what you do is you start equivalent to cocaine you start on the top of the ship like in the captain's quarters

like give me a you know maybe we see the captain you see the lieutenant you see the you think this story is about them Yeah. And then you go to the next level and it's the doctors and the like the medical. Yeah, yeah. And then you keep going down until you reach the bowels of the fucking shit. No, no, no, no, the, like the eighth level is like for some reason animals.

Right. Like pigs that they're like crazy. It's like, hey, Petit. Yeah. Like, right? And then there's a prison. This is a show. Maybe there's a prison, right?

But at the very bottom is these guys relegated. They're like the guy, the guys that either got demoted or right. Dude, I love this. We might have to cut this just because I think we should fucking. I should, we should pitch it. No, it's good. You think so? I really like it.

I think it's hilarious, don't you? Yeah, you have one guy who got demoted down to the shit level. And you have two guys who've been there forever. Yeah, best level. Maybe there was a guy that worked at, like, we have an artifact department somewhere. And there's a guy that got demoted from the artifact department. Like the last level, like the bowels of the thing where we have to do manual labor, right? Are guys that got demoted from their positions.

right and we're now down there and one of them stole our orb or the artifact from the because he was mad he got fired from yeah he got he got fired right so he has it then all of a sudden we don't know but like all of a sudden you know i mean and like i hate to say that i like it i hate to say it and then i'm like i know maybe i was the life pod you know whatever the escape pod i worked in the escape pod right so you knew so that's how we get out no but no but maybe it's like You can't use the escape pods until, like, the captain unlocks it, right? Then people would A wall all the time, right? But I, since I got demoted from there, I know the code, right?

Escape pods now. You know how it works. And then one guy's like, we're not allowed to the captain, you're right? And I'm like, I know, but I know the thing, you know, I mean, the clearance or whatever number. So we all go. And it only fits like three people. So we have to seatbelt, two people together. And then one guy's trying to get in.

he's like, hey guys, and you're like, sorry, Kurt, Kurt, yeah, and the door slammed shut. Oh, right, but he, no, Kurt is this big fat guy. He makes it somehow. He makes it somehow, but he gets mad because later in the movie, we run into him in the desert. You fuck, you fucking assholes. You left me.

No, no, we knew the ship was not going to, we knew the ship would make it. No, the shit did make it, you fuck. And then when we're escaping for the escape pods, the captain couldn't even go, you know what I mean, you know what I mean, go, what the fuck? Somebody's accessing the, you know what I mean? Right.

Escape pods, when I didn't get the clip. give you know what i mean whatever but he's got so many things going on and he maybe sees three pods escape but then it's like the the main ship explodes they're dead and now we're on this planet and and it's like um and now the the bad guys are going you know what i mean do you think people are still listening no we'll just cut that story i i i don't know i don't want us to cut the story i love the story because i think it's actually something really funny no because what happens is this is Andrew and I

made up a movie on our podcast called the bottoms of Turtle Island So this will still be ours because we said it on the podcast Not only that that But somebody wrote a script based on And then a production company

offered us to do the movie Now the money Like a movie that him and I made I made up probably the budget's like three four million dollars at least right and he offered us $250,000 oh yeah yeah yeah so we just couldn't do it logistically but the script is okay but like my point is is that keep it in because what if somebody goes let's do it somebody who's a really good fucking writer yeah we did a really good comedic writer yeah yeah yeah because i'm gonna rewrite that

fucker yeah yeah but it's like a bunch of losers i love it yeah yeah but we have to be it's i wanted to be more fear and loathing too where it's like we're also drug addicted and just kind of like scoundrels like anti-heroes yeah yeah the world needs more anti-heroes wait doesn't did did you uh did you enjoy today it was easy i would like i can do another hour but i guess not i get tired after an hour okay i really enjoyed this i don't want to wear out my welcome or you're welcome i'm not gonna be be back for you know a year about probably you'll come back on every year though won't you oh yeah one area. Really? Yeah. Will I ever be on Tiger Belly again? You think? Okay, let me, can I just clear that before we go? I'm going to clear it up. Before we go, I'm going to clear it up, okay? How many times have you

done it? I think three. Okay. The most somebody's done it is four times. So three times on Tiger Belly, I know. Why would you say so? Because I just fuck with you. But three times is like, I think you're second or third. But it's been a long time. It's been like two years. It doesn't matter. It's like, it's like, You know, I've had dice on once, Tiffany Haddish on once. I mean, it's like, good guests. You know what I mean? I've had Aquafina on once, you know? And you've been on three times.
