The YKWD podcast.
YKWD is back again.
Old school back in the day where it all started before fun and crazy.

That's the original.
Hey, everybody.

Yeah.
Yeah.
Switched it on.
Smooth transit.
It was my acting.

You know what, dude, podcast.
The first podcast, it was an acronym.
Now they all have fucking acronyms.
The YWW dude.
Fucking CCF.
You ever heard of CCF?
What is that saying for, Bobby?
C.S.
I don't know.
I'm not good with acronyms.
I thought you'd come up with it.
Oh, all you were laying it up.
and I fucking.
I laid it up and you went.
I don't know.
Is that real?
C.C.
I thought you had something locked in the chamber and I was like, let's let it loose.
You know I don't lock.
I don't lock anything up.
That's true.
Not with you around.
No.
It's all out.
It's all.
Just let it out.
Happy gay pride month.
Speaking of letting it out.

It is a contest
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
What the hell?
I'm kidding, Danny, who do we got?
Oh, first of all, I want to thank our sponsor, Danny.
I love this stuff.
Yeah, I mean, this is good for you and it's healthy because it has supports digestive health, billions of probiotics,
an essential daily nutrient.
Billions?
Yeah, billions.
The older you get, you know this.
The older you get, you know this, the older you get, you know this, the older you get,
you need to have this, this helps.
Well, sure.
Right, right.
I'm a deep believer in Activia.
Yeah, it's good.
You just hold it up for a second.
Well, for sure.
And also, do you remember, my name is Jamie Lee.
Do you remember when the other Jamie Lee of the Curtis variety did Activia ads?
Your name's what?
Jamie Lee.
Is it not Jamie Lee,

crazy? Oh, fuck.
Danny.
Guys, you booked for long.
Danny, what the fuck?
I'm sorry, Bobby.
Give me the yogurt. Here, let's take it.
No, just take it. Can I have the yogurt?
I guess. What was the bell?
You need it. That's the Danny fucked up.
That's the Danny fucked up bell.
That's the Danny came up with a fucking weird
bit bell.
Okay, I guys, I
was sure it was a bit and then you
sold it so hard.
Like, your acting was actually so good that I was like,
oh, they are a sponsor of the pod.
And then I was like, wait, what a coincidence.
I wonder if they know. And then, of course,
you did? First of all, do you think a major
company would sponsor this podcast?
I do. I do.
I get things you chew to make your penis bigger.
No, I'm like the most fallible person.
I was like, I guess Activity's podcast now.
Things you chew to make your dick bigger
for 500.

Danny has a hard time reading success
oh my god
two time Emmy winner
and writer for Ted Lassow
currently on tour with my friend Katie
Jamie Lee is here
And also Pat Birchard is here straight off his don't-tales comedy set in the pressure pole.
Oh, that's great.
He should have done you first.
You know, you don't really want to follow two-time Emmy Award winner.
And he just got off a tour on a show you can't talk about.
I know two-two-time Emmy Award winner.
You do?
What does it mean?
Huh?
What does it mean?
Yeah.
I know two people.
What are two-emmy?
Oh.
I think you're saying you know what a two-time award.
I know what a two-time winner is.
I know what a two-time winner is.
You know people
I know some things.
Yeah, but here's one that has one.
Yeah, I know.
Yeah.
She's right there.
Yeah.
It's crazy.
I know.
That's crazy.
It is.
It's incredible.
All right.
There's a lot to get into
because, first of all,
Ted Lassow is one of my favorite show.
Is it?
Yes.
Why would you say it surprised?
I don't know.
I didn't just say it surprised.
I said it quite British.
Yeah.
Is it?
Is it?
Really?
Yes.
Yes.
surprisingly, we're going to get into that.
Okay.
Because I was shocked.
That you liked it?
Shocked.
Yeah. Same, by the way.
You wrote on it.
No, but still, when it came out, I was like, oh, he made something really cool.
No, because you just don't know when it's on paper.
You're like, I like all these people and I think everyone's really smart and funny,
but like until you see the final product, you're not sure what you're making.
And then when I saw it, I was like, oh, wait, is our show like really good?
It's really good.
Have you seen it?
Yeah, I've seen it.
Oh, not a fan.
I love it.
Really quick.
Really quick.
One more time.
Yeah.
Okay.
Some actors get it on the first try like me.
You know what a two take is?
Yeah.
He's a two take.
Okay.
That's great.
We'll talk about it after.
Have you seen it?
Fuck yeah.
Too much.
Have you heard of a three take?
They call me Patty three takes, baby.
That really is his name.
Patty three takes.
And he tries to steal my letters every once in me.
No, no, no, no.
No, you try to take the Y.
Yeah, and I'm sick.
Every time he's on the show, I look over the fucking Y's missing.
No, no, no, no.
Why are you taking the Y?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Why?
All these questions.
Not enough answers, Bobby.
Not enough answers.
You want to talk like that?
Yeah.
I can talk like that, too.
Okay.
But can the writer do.
No, women can't do that voice.
People are just like, what's wrong with her sounds?
What are those things going out of her mouth?
Before we got up here, I had all this stuff going on with you and you,
this things that happened to you,
that I want to talk about this stuff that happened.
But you said you got to a fight with your brother.
Oh, yeah.
I said that off air.
I didn't think we talked about it on air.
Sorry.
I don't know you know this,
but there's no rules on this podcast.
Yeah, I know.
I know that now.
And when I said it, I was like,
I'm really walking into something here.
I mean, yeah.
Look, I love you.
If you don't want to talk about it,
don't talk about it.
If you want to deny the people,
the truth, go ahead.
No, I will because these people don't deserve this truth.
Oh my God.
Now I really want to know.
Yeah, I know, but I'm a steel cage.
Okay.
Yeah.
You're not a steel cage.
Yeah, you could tie me to a chair and torch me and I will not tell you why.
You're a plastic bag.
Yeah.
You know what happens if you put a plastic bag over your head?
Yeah.
You die.
Yeah.
No, you don't.
You go like this.
You die.
And your tongue goes out.
Oh, and you...
You know my only weakness.
God damn you!
You know.
I know who I am.
I know all your weaknesses.
And that's why I brought this.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because you love.
Billions answer.
I love it.
All right.
So you got no fight with you don't want to talk about it.
Yeah.
Is everything cool?
Yeah, everything's fine.
Who won?
That's good.
Who won?
He won?
He won?
No, I don't know.
I think it was like we made amends.
Are you guys close in age?
Four years.
Are you both recovering alcoholics?
Why did you make amends?
Amends?
You know.
Because that's what you do.
You guys, you're a real man.
Can I ask you, is it, I'm an only child.
Like, our brother fights.
Oh, I'm sorry.
No, no, no.
I'm actually genuinely curious.
I wouldn't have brought up my brother if I knew you didn't have any siblings.
No, I'm very used to not having siblings.
But I am like, I am curious.
Like, is it, is it normal to like get in fights frequently?
Oh, for sure.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah.
It's not a big deal.
Okay, okay.
You just punched your pillow.
What?
Oh, me?
When I was upset?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
For sure.
Yeah.
For sure. Phone to friend.
Yeah, like I have an older sister used to beat.
One time, we got into a fight.
I was in second grade.
She took my ears and grabbed my head and smashed it on the corner of the wall.
My ears.
Like you were like...
My ears.
She took my ears.
Wait, face into the wall?
Like your face went into the wall?
The back of my head.
Oh, the back of the head.
In the corner of the wall.
Oh, my God.
Put a hole in my head.
And then I...
Pool in your head.
I slid to the ground with my crack bleeding.
And she...
She went, if you tell mom, I'm not calling an ambulance.
Oh, my God.
I didn't tell my mom for probably 20 years.
20 years.
Wait, what about all the blood?
Did she not see?
I said I fell.
Oh, shit.
I said I fell.
You covered.
I had to.
She wasn't going to call the ambulance.
Right.
But once you're in the ambulance, you're Scott Free.
Yeah.
The timeline is interesting.
What do you mean I'm Scott Free?
It means like once you're in the hospital, you could be like, it's time to spill the bean, sis.
You're going to clink.
I'm sending you up the river.
That's what I want to do with a person who smashed my head on the wall.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I want to make her more angry.
Oh, my God.
I'm not a rat too, like you.
Yeah, I'm a rat.
I'm a steel cage.
No, you're not.
Yes, I am.
Everything's free.
I didn't tell her for 20 years.
I finally told me, my sister got into a fight.
What happened?
Yeah, what?
I told my mother.
We got an argument.
We're older.
Okay.
And I went.
Wait, so how old were you when this happened?
I was probably second grade, third grade.
So you're like, how old's that?
like seven or eight.
Seven or eight?
And then when you're 28, you're like,
Ma, she hit my head against the wall that time.
I really did.
My mom and me and my fight.
And I told my mom,
my mom was taking her side.
I go, and she's a liar.
Remember the time I had money?
She did it.
She took my head and smashed.
She goes, you lied to me?
I was like, what?
She was mad to her.
Oh, my God.
She was mad that I lied to her,
not that my sister smashed my head to the corner.
Your sister's like,
that's why it hit him.
Because he's a liar.
I never thought of it from that perspective.

Hey.
But everything's cool, right?
You guys physically fight?
We did earlier in our lives.
Really?
He used to just beat the shit out of me.
Because he's older than you.
Yeah, yeah, where he was older.
Oh, no.
Yeah, I had two older brothers.
And I think my eldest brother beat him up.
Oh, he beat me.
Oh, for a chain.
Yeah.
You never had that.
No, I probably, like, should have.
Like, I think about it all the time.
I'm like, oh, man, only, like, having siblings,
it really keeps you in check.
No, it doesn't.
I think it does.
It does.
You think so?
Really, you want to be molested?
Oh.
No, I'm kidding.
I'm kidding.
I'm kidding.
I'm sorry.
I'm over here like, yeah?
100%.
What is your point?
Problem is?
When did you grow up?
Dallas, Texas.
Dallas, Texas.
Yeah.
Had a lot of only children friends randomly.
Like in my grade.
Like there were a lot of us.
I don't know what that was.
I'll tell you what, people in Dallas, no fuck.
I guess so.
They won and done.
Yeah, one and done.
How old are you?
2030.
That's right.
2030?
Are you 2030?
I'm of the year of 2030.
I'm from the future.
Sure.
What the hell?
Am I pulling off being an alien?
No, but I, I, the reason why I ask how old you are because they're like when I came up, my generation before me in my way, they had, you know, everybody had eight kids.
You know, everybody had like eight, five or eight kids.
Then my generation was two or three.
And now it's one.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, yeah.
You're 67 years old.
Yeah.
Real quick.
I look pretty good.
Activia.
Hold it up.
Octavia.
Yeah, we're going to get them to be a small...
Wait, where did mine go?
Oh, he took yours.
Oh, my God.
No wonder your brother beat you up.
All right, take it down.
Take it down.
Okay, okay.
It's over, guys.
It's over.
It's not her.
It's just not.
We were trying to fool him.
Danny's really trying to make that bit happen.
Danny's supposed to do that.
Yeah.
He laughs like...
Oh, it had a song?
Yeah, but he didn't play it through the headphones
because he's an asshole.
Oh.
He's a great producer.
So no one heard that but me.
Yeah.
Okay, cool.
But Danny and Paco did, and they need to laugh too.
And that's great.
I want to get to your, I mean, it's pretty crazy.
Have you really seen the show?
Yeah, my buddy's on it.
Oh.
Who?
Greg Goldstein.
Oh, love Brett.
Yeah, Brett's the best.
Which one's Brett?
He's Roy Kent.
Yes.
And I'm working on Brett's other show right now.
Shrinking.
Well, he's got...
Or the other one, the one...
The other one.
That's why I'm in New York, because we're...
He's doing a...
He's doing another show about a male escort.
Okay.
Him?
Yeah.
Wow, that's hot.
Yeah.
Here's the thing with this show.
Okay.
It's British.
Yes.
Okay?
And that's it.
That's all I know.
That's all I got out of it.
I'm a big fan of Britain.
Yeah.
No, I don't...
I'm not a fan of soccer at all.
I wasn't either when I...
Never been a fan.
Yeah.
I mean, now I, now I'm in too.
it's a weird now i like it yeah and then um when i saw the show i didn't know understand the uh the lead
sure uh ted uh mr lasso uh-huh it was kind of a weird uh people don't know he winds up getting this
job yeah and he has to leave his family he's getting a divorce and he's got this beautiful
kid and he has to leave and go to england to do this football team that's not got a lot of problems
yeah a lot of problems yeah and um and
his character in that is so
it's never been done.
It's like in a unique,
it's like Achi Bunker.
Yes.
You know,
it's a little like,
yeah,
it's,
you can chime in anytime you want.
There's also some like
Forrest Gumpisms in there.
Like,
we've never actually talked about that,
but just kind of the way he,
like, phrases things.
Like he has a lot of, like,
catch phrases and like,
not catch phrases,
that's not the right word.
He has a lot of, like,
isms.
Yeah, it's like Yellowstone.
I don't want yellowstone.
Yellowstone.
It's like that.
Like that,
we talk about that
on the bonfire.
Everything,
every time they say something,
it's meaningful.
Yes, yes, yes.
It's like,
what are we going to do?
The sun's going down.
The sun don't go down on everyone.
Right.
Just the bad people.
And then Ted does like the comedy version of that.
There's a comedy version.
Yeah,
yeah, yeah.
He's a lot of like very firm opinions on everything.
And it's like really fun to write for.
It is so it consumes you.
Yeah.
It's a show that I was watching for shits and giggles.
It's consuming.
And it consumed.
Totally.
It's like it just sucks you in.
And you look like the girl.
Which one?
The Ted's girl.
Which girl?
Oh, his wife?
Wait.
No, no, no.
The girl.
Rebecca?
No.
I don't know the name.
The girl that was married to the star football was in.
Oh, oh.
And then she wound up hooking up with, who did she hook up with Ted?
No.
Oh, Ted hooked up.
Who did Ted hook up with?
Well, he had a fling with.
All right there.
Which one?
Juno.
Juno Temple.
You look a little like Juno.
Oh, interesting.
I can see that.
Apparently, that's an insult to you.
No, no.
I mean, I'm obsessed with her.
She's so, so, so good.
God, seeing her act is like,
it actually blows me away how talented she is.
Do you know who I'm talking about?
Yeah, yeah.
That lady.
Her name was Kylie.
What was her name on the show?
Keely.
Keeley.
That's right.
I got close enough.
Keeley Jones.
Close enough.
but not
NER.
Not there.
NER.
That's Australian.
NER.
NAR.
NAR?
What's that?
They say no with an R.
NAR.
Say it again.
NAR.
NAR?
NAR.
You sure they don't just say no?
No.
No, they say nar.
I don't,
NAR.
Yeah.
NAR.
I don't think they say that.
Well, I've been there several times.
I've been there none.
Yes.
I want to go so badly.
Is it the best?
It's pretty good.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's what I thought.
I like that you made a connection real quick
So when you go to write on the show
Are you, how many writers are on the show?
Don't answer that question
You have to, he's looking right at me
I can hear you both of you
No, not if we don't lose our house
My, Danny
Did the mic go off? Are you fucking with me?
What's happened? Danny, turn their mics back on
I can hear everything
What was the question?
Oh, how many writers?
I should know that number off the top of my head.
I think there's like 10 of us.
But if she said 47.
I wrote on one episode.
Does anyone, you don't have the name who,
but has anyone been kicked off?
No.
No.
Damn.
Yeah.
We've all kind of like been together this entire time.
Well, that's pretty cool.
Yeah.
It's crazy because when I took the job,
I really did not know what we were making, like Apple TV.
was really new.
Like, I had no point of reference for, like, what this would be.
How did you get this job?
How did you get it?
You want to hear?
So the craziest thing is I, I got it because of acting.
I was acting on crashing on HBO.
And before that show aired, I had tested for a pilot for Bill Lawrence.
And then I didn't get it.
Brett got it.
Brett also tested for it.
He booked it.
We didn't know each other then.
Then Bill sees me on crashing.
And then was like, do you have a sam?
sent him my writing sample and then got called in for the meeting.
Oh shit.
Really crazy.
And then, but I didn't know what I was even meeting on.
I was like, oh, Jason Sedagus from S&L.
That's so cool.
And I went to the meeting and I'm like, oh, he's such a nice guy.
I was like, everyone's so nice.
I was like, what a lovely group.
Well, Ted Lassow's nice.
Yeah.
Well, that's what I was.
But is he nice?
Yeah.
He is?
Yeah.
Is he like that?
I wouldn't say he has.
Spilled a bees.
Pieces of him are definitely.
I mean, definitely, yes.
Like he, yeah, Ted, I was.
say is like, like resides within him. Yeah, for sure. But like definitely a different
different guy. Different vibe. He's a comic. Yeah, exactly. I'm like, yeah, been doing comedy for
a long time. So how many, was it? Like, was it three seasons? It's three seasons and we just
finished our fourth, which comes out in August. It's a new season. New season. They brought it back
though. It ended. It did sort of end. This is weird that it. Bobby, just give her your
spec script all right. Oh my gosh. Give it to me. Gennie.
Oh, here it is.
I have an envelope.
Oh, I've never seen...
I've never seen someone fit a whole script into a tiny envelope.
It's called the TikTok.
Oh.
That is so brilliant.
And I love it.
I love it and I want to make it.
We're leads.
We're lovers, but then we become like mortal enemy assassins.
Oh, within like 30 seconds.
Yeah.
Well, it's actually 22 seconds.
Oh, it's over.
Okay.
We can just do it right now for you live.
Oh, I mean, sure.
All right.
Okay, do it.
Oh, whoa.
It starts out crazy.
Okay, here.
Open the activity.
yeah. All right. Ready? God.
No, but that is
crazy that the show ends and it's so popular
to bring it back. How does that happen?
That never happened. I mean, I guess there was all
I remember like we were at some like event thing
and someone had said to me like, oh yeah, like Jason
kind of talked to me about like, what if there were a season four?
And I was like, really? And I was like, oh, at this point, I thought it was over.
And then I was like, but if he is like percolating on it,
I was like, I bet it will happen.
So there's always a piece of me that was like, I don't think he's done.
Like, I think he's taking a break, but I don't think he's done.
That's a great thing about streaming services now.
It's like you can just do whatever you want.
That's what Larry David knew with Kerb, right?
Well, that's what I think of.
I think of Curb.
I'm like, Kerb had the craziest schedule.
I was like, it just comes out whenever.
Yeah.
Curb?
Curb your enthusiasm one.
I haven't heard of it.
How does it go?
I just got really sad.
I see you're too good of an actor
I just believe
I believe everything you say
it's a problem
but like I doesn't know what curb is
it was definitely was not

Don't show
The only way to tone him out
Is that always sunny?
No.
What?
No.
I don't know what their theme song is.
I should know it.
But anyways.
As I was saying.
Okay.
Where's the why?
What are you talking about?
Where's the why?
Oh, we stole it.
Same again.
Jamie?
Jamie?
Play the tape.
Play the tape.
Play the tape.
Where is the Y though?
Wait, but it was there.
Jamie, where?
He just takes it at random time.
Every time he does my podcast, he takes the goddamn wine.
He's losing his marbles.
Okay, but can I just say, at one point when I was sitting here.
Just me, you're a thief.
I'm not a thief.
You're a thief.
Why did you get fired off?
Why did you lie your mom?
Sesame Street fire you.
Why?
Because you stole all their wives.
Yeah.
What did you say about my mom?
She called you a liar.
I am.
What? What do you got under there?
Oh.
Oh.
See, you had it the whole time.
This is,
No, I got you your,
I want my Y back.
You bought him his own Y.
And I got you your own Y.
I might cry right now.
Where did you get that from?
Did you go to like a little like craft store?
Yes.
That's so sweet.
I bought you.
You idiot, you gave it right to me.
Danny, we need another Y.
Look, it's obviously been taken from somewhere.
It's got holes in it.
Oh, yeah.
Listen, Jamie, he's addicted to Wives.
Some people addicted to drugs, food.
He's addicted to why.
I'm okay.
Don't you fucking pass Wies off on a new guy.
The holes in the back of it is like you stole it from like a baby's nursery.
It's just bad.
They don't know what a Y is yet.
Yeah, that's true.
where's the Y
Hey man
I wish I knew
I'm serious man
An existential crisis
I'm serious
I'm serious
he's gonna write this into the new season
of Ted Lassow
it's gonna be a Y thief
It'll be though a series art
They're all looking for the
Y within the way
Right right that is pretty Lassau actually
I tell you what
We're all looking for the Y with himself
That's what I mean
I'm Ted Lasson I'll see you next season maybe
Yeah
That was I bailed out of my accent
halfway through?
Because she's sitting here
and I felt her staring at my head.
I wasn't.
I was staring at my Celsius listening
to the accent.
I didn't even know what to send.
I went halfway through.
I started just talking.
What would you do if you turned around
and the Y was missing from that as well?
What if I looked around?
It was missing from the logos.
There was never a Y, Bobby.
There was never a Y.
But I couldn't even go, why.
I could just go,
uh,
uh,
uh,
um,
don't do that.
I'll stop.
I'll stop.

Look at this
I've been a couple shows that hit me
Syke the show psych
I never watched that
It's my favorite show
I know people love it
I gotta watch it
It's so stupid and fun
And it's all 80s reference
80s 90s references
That's fun
Every episode there's a
You have to
The first episode they had
Like he held up a pineapple
just improv. So every show, every episode for eight seasons, there's a pineapple somewhere and you have to
find it. So like, you'll be watching. You'll be watching the show. There's a pineapple. And you can find it. So like
that's just goofy shit that the writers. A little Easter egg. It's just like the writers and the, you know,
the creator were like, well, let's have fun. Right. And that's like the cake thing in Ted Lassen.
Yes, yes. That's like that little thing to me that he would went and made these cakes.
The biscuits. Yeah. I had. Are they actually that good?
Yes, yes.
Yes.
You can buy them.
This place in...
I got lost them.
No, I had them.
No, in, there were a couple of different bakeries that were making them, but there was, like, in Los Angeles.
Have you ever been to Go Get Em Tiger?
Do you know what that is?
It's like a coffee shop that's in L.A.
Oh, that might be a different thing for me.
And they were selling...
That's my nickname in the pink box and everything.
When I'm in Hollywood, that's my nickname.
Go Get them Tiger.
They also, they love an acronym.
They call themselves Go Get them.
It's Gigi.
That's the name of our script.
Go Get them Tiger.
Okay.
It's a great script.
It's only 25 seconds a lot.
It sounds so good.
Oh, there it is.
Yeah, go get them tired.
But they were selling the biscuits for a while.
They were like, I actually, this basically like, what is it?
Mainly butter and flour.
Yeah.
But it's still good butter is the best.
They're like short bread.
Have you ever made shortbread?
It's so hard to make.
I tried during the pandemic.
My wife makes it.
My wife makes sure.
Really?
Yeah.
Oh, God.
Because you have to like freeze the dough.
It's like very sensitive process and I was bad at it.
baking's tough.
baking's tough.
My wife's a great.
Is she, what's like, what's her main?
Blueberry crumble.
Oh, shit.
Yeah.
It's almost like, it's like, uh, Bobby, bring in a slice of blueberry crumble, would you?
It's, it's, is the fruit to the crust ratio good?
Crust.
Okay.
And then you have almost, uh, I meant to say Danny.
I'm sorry.
No, I know.
I went with it, though.
Because I'm an actor.
Um, then there's a type of, uh, what did you call the Ted Lassel cookie?
What is that again?
Oh, shortbread.
Shortbread.
Shortbread.
So it's, Grant Precker, shortbread.
And then blueberry.
No, wait, I'm not okay.
I'm not allowed.
Not allowed.
That sounds too good.
That's insane.
That's actually crazy.
How can you eat anything after that?
She forces me to.
Is she baking like all the time or just special occasion?
No, she, well, she, like, she makes, that was great, but then she makes a bun cake.
I love a bun.
But here's the thing.
Yeah.
It's a rum bun cake.
Yes, that's one of my favorite desserts.
Oh, my God.
The thing with this dessert...
Does it have like little nuts in it?
No, there's no nuts.
Okay.
But it looks like just a regular cake.
Yeah.
It puts powdered sugar on the top.
Yeah.
I bring it to...
I brought it to probably seven different parties.
Sure.
And I'll put it on the table with the other desserts,
the cookies and all the whole, all the bullshit that everybody...
The canola...
And everybody will avoid it because it's just a bun cake.
Right.
It's just a regular...
It just looks plain.
And then one motherfucker will take a chance on this cake.
Right.
And then the word takes out.
And then all of a sudden, it's like, you hear this.
Hey!
You have this cake?
And then the cake's gone.
It's that good.
Is it like soaked through?
Moist.
Yes.
This is the thing.
This is the thing.
It's like that kind of cake.
Trisleche is like I need like a milk going through the sponge.
I don't want a plain sponge.
Sponge?
People like strawberry shortcake.
Oh my God.
Fuck off.
What are we doing?
Strawberry shortcake people stink and little girl plays her.
Fuck her too.
Whoa.
I guess I'll leave.
Are you love?
No, I know.
just a bit.
You just want to leave?
You just gotta go.
Gotta take that Y home.
No, I love to, I don't, I hate shrubbery here.
I just don't like you too.
No, strawberry sugar.
Why?
Yeah, pretty much all cakes need some kind of.
The way I say it.
I hate it.
Cakes need some, and I know this is like, oh, stupid word to use, but, like, cakes do need some kind of, like, lubricant to go with it.
Like, we need an ice cream, we need a milk.
Olive oil cakes are.
That's great.
What?
Olive oil?
Yeah.
What is that?
Put some oil on there.
Get out of here, Bobby.
I know.
It's my pipe.
Come on, Bobby.
Bobby.
Come on, Bobby, Lassau.
Quit messing around, Bobby.
Are you fucking mad?
That's good.
You fucking mento.
Is that an oil cake?
No.
What is that?
Lemon olive cake.
I've never had it.
It's great because it's like inherently moist.
Yeah.
You know what my favorite cake in the world is?
Del Frisco's.
You didn't let us guess.
Wait.
I do want to get.
Is it a...
Del Friscoes, is it a cheesecake?
You didn't let me finish.
I was going to go Del Friscoes and guess.
Cheesecake?
No.
Fucking cheesecake is overrated.
Thank you for saying that.
I also don't like it, but I was trying...
I didn't take you as a chocolate, man, so I wasn't going to go later again.
You're right.
I'm not a chocolate guy.
Okay.
Except for Del Frisco's.
Del Frisco's...
Wait.
Strawberry and shortcake.
No.
No.
I hate that.
Have you been listening?
Don't you listen?
And I know where the why is, Bobby.
That's why we only need this 25 seconds, because he doesn't listen.
That's why I'm going to die alone.
What?
Key lime, no.
Carris.
Oh, my God.
Oh, no.
Spit that in your face.
Oh, my God.
I hate key lime.
Bobby.
Oh, no, he has a hairball.
He went,
Bobby, have you been to therapy?
I went today.
Yeah, that's why you didn't spit it.
If you can go to therapy, you would have spit in her face.
I, thank you.
You're doing great.
I went to Key West, and I got the stupid best key lime pie in the world.
And I took a bite and I pushed it over to my fat friend.
I hate it.
I had one that was actually pretty good.
They're not good.
No, no, but here's what it was.
Okay, they're good.
This one is like, it was a mini one, and they dip it in chocolate.
No, fuck it.
That's not a key lime pie.
I don't want chocolate.
Yeah, that's a key lime pie pupsicle.
Yeah, that's what it is.
That's a different thing.
It's frozen key lime pie,
popsicle.
It's in Red Hook.
It's pretty good.
Oh.
Well, now I'm kind of interested
because I feel like
that's sort of like
it sounds like sort of innovative.
Yeah, but it's still,
it's a meringue.
Fuck a meringue.
You sold me a meringue.
Nobody likes a meringue.
I don't think I like meringue.
I'll tell you right now.
Del Frisco goes,
go.
What is the fuck.
What is it?
Vanilla cake.
It's a dessert.
Think, at Del Frisco's.
It's a Steakhouse dessert.
Oh, Steakhouse?
Oh, is it one of those, like, chocolate fondants?
Look at it.
You can guess.
Wait, okay, I'm going to guess.
Wow.
Wait.
The flowerless chocolate torte.
No.
Okay, I know what it is.
I know what it is.
Given your...
Nutella bread pudding.
No.
Whoa.
Okay.
I mean, coconut cream pie.
No.
Okay.
The lemon one.
Told you about meringue.
Yeah, I know.
caramel pot de crem.
Wait, not the peanut butter bar, is it?
No.
Okay, thank God.
Then what the fuck is it?
Yeah, I think we just named all.
It's not out there.
Literally.
We took the feet.
You reeled us in.
Oh my God.
And then you release this back.
I don't like any peanut butter desserts.
Not because I don't think they taste good.
I just am like, I can have peanut butter like any time.
Please look this up.
It's the butter cake.
Oh, shit.
Is it got ice cream?
That's like my favorite.
Please bring a butter cake from Delphisco.
I got to see that.
Of course we were doing.
Oh, yeah.
See, that is my dream dessert.
The outside is crunchy.
Right, of course.
And kind of oily and crispy.
And they serve it warm.
The inside is moister.
Moista.
Moista.
And then they put whipped cream and they put ice cream.
And see, this is such a nice touch.
Ice cream plus whipped.
Like, I feel like a lot of places make you shoes.
Either we go whipped or we go iced.
I, that's, that's really nice.
They don't make you choose.
The butter cake at.
Del Frisco's is my shit.
It looks heavenly.
So good.
Is it one of those things you have to order like 20 minutes before?
You know how they do that with?
No.
They taste that with the fond d'ant.
They do that with like baked the last dog or whatever.
Everybody I talk to says you're stupid.
You're not.
Yeah.
Because of that question right.
You are right.
You have to order it.
When you order your meal, you have to order the buttercake.
You do, really?
Yeah.
Is that true?
No.
Oh, okay.
But most people do think I'm dumb.
The second part, you go.
The first part,
you lead them in with the little truth.
And then you whack him over the head.
With a why.
Where's my why?
I wish I knew, Bobby.
I wish I fucking knew.
It's not funny.
Every god damn high.
If people come across this podcast,
they're going to go, what's it called?
They're going to, KWD, that's like some, some,
it's called the weekend show.
Every day's got a Y in it
Pretty sick
Oh that was tired
Now let me ask a question about this show again
So you had to live there, right?
Did you live in London?
Yeah, I was there for like four months
What was your favorite part?
What was my favorite part?
I just like, we had a lot of people come visit us
That was really nice.
Yeah.
Were you on a compound?
I was not in a compound
but I was living in Notting Hill in an Airbnb.
Oh wow.
You see Julia Roberts?
I didn't, but I did go to like.
Julia Roberts.
I didn't see that, no, I didn't see either of those people, but I did go to like, I didn't see, I didn't see.
Tom Hardy, anybody.
I didn't see anybody.
Now that you're bringing it up, I'm like, I didn't really see anybody.
But we did have really creepy Airbnb hosts.
So that actually made the, um, we found.
Did they know who you were at that time?
Hey, can you, right now, let me see.
Tell me if this is the guy that.
the guys of the Airbnb.
Okay.
Go ahead.
Do it.
Hey, because you car,
you're named Mow towels.
Spot on.
It's spot on.
Look at her.
She's terrified.
Sorry.
I was just wondering if you did it.
It's all right.
If I borrow your shoe.
I mean,
you want to borrow my shoe?
Yeah, just for a minute.
It'll be wrong, big.
Okay.
All right.
Thanks.
Huh.
Thank you.
Is that spot on?
Dave, our Airbnb host
just asked to borrow my shoe.
Let him.
He borrowed Miami.
the day, came back, it was B. Dowser.
It looks awesome. Oh, okay.
I want to eat it by your spruce.
He keeps coming around.
No,
really know what to do about it.
No, there was a camera
outside, but, like,
it's hard to say without, like, explaining the
layout of the place, but basically the camera,
they said it was, like, in the garden, but it
wasn't. It was, like, right outside, and they
could definitely hear our conversations inside
through it. And we were just fully,
being surveilled like the entire time
and I ended up having to have a conversation with them
because they said something to me where I was like, how would you know
that? Oh no. And then I had...
You went like this, your panties in the drawer below
the socks and you're like, we actually call
pants trousers.
You know,
I have trojans if you need them.
You don't have to go to the store late night.
Did you? Did you? I'm laughing so hard because these people
were like fully just like in Toronto.
Like they were not British. They were just like
Canadians who had a place. So they're from where
I'm from.
Oh, are you from Toronto?
Sorry.
Are you?
So they were more like this.
I was your Airbnb host.
Hello, I'm from Toronto.
I am from Toronto.
I watch you on camera.
Hello, Toronto.
Okay.
Sorry.
That was dead on.
Where is it?
Yeah, no, no.
Absolutely not.
But yeah, anyway, so that was, that kind of like, honestly like, colored the whole
experience because it got really ugly.
Like at one point.
So my husband works in cybersecurity and like literally like used to work in intelligence and like is very good at like looking people up.
Really?
Yeah.
And he found all this dirt on them.
And it got so ugly that we were like, we know that your business went under.
We know that you stole from your employees.
We know.
Like they were fully extorting us at one point.
Yeah.
Because they, they, I guess, whatever.
They like have this like 1990s point of view that like TV writers are rich.
And it's like, oh no, we're like literally like dying.
Like our, we're constantly like fucked out of money all the time.
So, yeah, they were like, oh, she works on Ted Lassow, like, fancy TV lady.
And they just came up with things that they claimed we owed them.
And I'm like, they would be like, you damaged our floors and we're like, what?
Like, it was just all the time.
And what I learned is that Airbnb really does not protect the guests at all.
They're all, they're very pro host.
And like, you can really, luckily, honestly, not to like plug Eric's.
I'm Airbnb in my tiny house this summer.
Seriously, they, I mean, it was amazing what they got away with.
We definitely, like, whatever, they were making these big claims.
And we were able to, like, talk Airbnb down a little bit and be like, that's just not true.
I literally was, like, writing Airbnb, like, they are crooks.
They are extorting us.
And Airbnb really did not help me at all.
She's such a writer.
She had to do the trick.
I know.
I always do that.
Like keyboard cat.
Keyboard cat's the best.
Anyways, I want to ask you one more question.
Listen.
Yeah.
When you were on the show.
Listen.
Come on.
you into it?
Oh.
Yeah.
What kind of keyboard is that?
I got a small keyboard.
Okay.
I like to travel a lot.
I don't want a full-size keyboard.
You have the Bluetooth ones that fold out?
Oh, okay.
Aw.
Lay little kitten paws.
If you take away the Y, he loses his funny.
I know.
Did you know that?
Someone took the Y.
If he doesn't have a Y, if that goes back, he's not funny.
I swear to God.
Watch at the end of the show when he ends up back.
He goes like this.
He shuts down.
They want the Y back.
Who's they?
So do they get you the house or do you have to get it yourself?
You have to get it yourself.
How do they know you were writers on the Ted Lassa show?
I told them that I needed to stay there for a while for work.
And I just said I'm like writing on a show.
And then they're like, what show?
And then I said, oh, and they're like, oh, we love that show.
You'll never do that again.
Never, never, never, never, never.
What job you're going to say when you do that next time?
I don't know.
But I was like, you know, because I had to rent it for like four months is a weird amount of time.
It's like long and short at the same time.
So it's just hard to make a negotiation for like what that is worth.
And it was very overcharged.
I have a job.
I have a job you could say.
Wow.
So ask me say, hey, what do you do for work?
What do you do for work?
I'm a Y maker.
Oh.
Huh.
That sounds artisanal.
Yeah.
I'm making Y's for the next four months.
Like the letter Y.
Yeah.
Okay.
I'd like to buy one of these.
You steal them.
You have enough of them.
That's why I became a Y-maker because of you.
I didn't want to get into this industry.
All right.
Sorry.
You forced me into this industry.
All right, all right.
That's crazy.
Here's the thing, too.
So you, what are you doing?
Oh.
Wait, your case is so cute.
What is that?
A little duckie?
Swans.
That's cute.
Swans.
I like that.
Yeah, but if you turn it upside down, it's all penises.
Oh, that's not.
It's swans upside down.
Turn it upside down.
What?
It's penises.
This is right side up.
Oh, sideways.
Oh, turn it sideways.
Yeah, there they are.
Yeah.
Oh, fuck, you're right.
I got screwed.
I got screwed.
God damn screw job.
Now, let me ask you goes in.
Did you write a whole episode or did you just write four people?
Did you write an episode?
You do both, yeah.
You do both.
So, yeah.
Who did you connect with the most on the show?
Who was your go-to?
Oh, man, I love all of them.
I really love writing for Ted.
I really love writing Roy and Keely.
They're all really fun.
We had some really, we had a fun scene between Rebecca and Keely this season that was
really fun to write.
Yeah, they're all, I'm not just saying that.
They're all, like, really, really fun to write for.
That actually is why it's so fun, because they're so, like, everyone is so clear.
Like if you wrote a line that was for Roy, it's like only Roy would say that.
Like it's so clear the characters are so defined that it makes it makes my job very easy now.
Yeah, like his character, I didn't want to, I didn't like at the beginning.
I was kind of like, uh, it was annoying.
And then you, by the end of the show, I'm like, I love he was like, I love.
He was so lovable.
So loyal, so love.
So vulnerable.
Yes.
This is stuff.
And like really encourages the people around him.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's really nice.
Yeah.
And now, um, I want.
wanted Ted and the owner to ship.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Why?
I feel that.
Why?
You can't jump the shark, man.
A lot.
I think that that's a lot of people who watch the show feel that way.
And a lot of people very vehemently don't feel that way.
Danny just reminded me of something very interesting because I love Ted Lasso so much.
Yes.
But I don't know if you know this.
This is so crazy.
And we'll get to you.
Wow.
No, I'm kidding.
Give me my why back and then you'll get some questions.
Okay, maybe I'll think about it.
Okay, so how are you doing?
I'm all right, come on.
This is so crazy.
She has a friend.
Yeah.
You have this friend Katie.
Yeah.
Where is this? Can I see it? Can I watch it?
You can see it. Hopefully you'll be able to watch it at some point.
But right now you can see it. I'm touring it. It's called my friend Katie.
So it's a one-woman show.
Yeah. Yeah. Wow.
Yeah. And yeah, it's just about how I basically like lost my mind and tried to investigate what happened to my friend.
So you're, so she just disappeared one day. Tell us what happened.
She didn't disappear. She died very mysteriously and suddenly she died in her sleep when she was 18 years old.
and that's not how 18 year olds die.
And it was all just very suspicious.
And this was back in 2004.
And I feel like no one was really,
I mean, no one talks about death now,
but back then it was even worse.
Like no one was discussing anything.
And so it was kind of swept under the rug,
which was also really suspicious.
And I kind of just like went on with my life for 20 years and was like,
you know,
like just suppressing all my feelings about it.
And then when my dad died when I was,
that was in 2021,
I had this weird feeling when I was back in Dallas for his memorial where I was like, wait,
I know how my dad died of a heart attack.
But the last time I was in Dallas for a funeral was for Katie's and I don't know how she died.
And it kind of sent me in this like weird existential spiral.
And I went on this whole journey to try and figure it out.
And then just because, you know, writer, comedian, I ended up after being like, wait,
there actually like is a story to tell here.
So I'm so sorry I said disappeared twice.
Oh, no, it's okay.
I think a lot of people think she disappeared.
I mean, she did from this earth.
Yeah, yeah.
He's thinking about the wine.
Yeah.
So anyways, I know all that sounds like deeply unfunny, but I swear it's funny.
Is that how you, is that how you, is that, is that how you, is that, well, is it?
It sounds like a, no, I mean, it sounds like a very, like interesting show.
It is.
And what's really fun about it.
I was going to say that too.
Oh, thanks.
Well, okay.
You can both say your things.
All right.
It sounds like a really interesting.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate you saying that. Which version did you like better?
I think, hmm, I'm torn. I like to. I like, what I liked is that they were the same message, but they felt different coming from different school.
Everyone put their own little spin on it. I like that. I like that. So she, she dies. Yes. 20 years goes by. Yes. Is this, did you meet your husband in this thing? Investiate? Is that how you guys hooked up with this type of guy? No, that's a great question.
Thank you. Cyber security. Yeah, cyber security. No. But yeah, he definitely was like there.
I was like going through this and...
So you knew him before this.
Did he help you at all?
No.
No, not really.
No.
I was really like me and my people from back home.
Like my, my, I would say like I was Sherlock and my mom was my Watson.
Like, she fully, my mom's like a big true crime like armchair investigator.
And she was really helpful.
So how did you?
And she also knew Katie.
So she was really invested in the story.
I don't want you to tell us what happened because I, you ask questions and I'll like skirt around.
So I'm not giving out too much.
I want people to go see this.
Sure, sure.
You should come.
When is it?
So it's next week on Tuesday at Joe's Pub.
Oh, what time?
The 16th.
930.
It's a tight hour, so you won't be there too late.
Well, you're comedians.
Did you grow up liking crime stuff, like Nancy Drew and stuff like that?
Not so much Nancy Drew.
Sherlock Holmes or what?
She's not that old.
It's very wholesome.
No, but you can read stuff after someone writes a book.
Oh.
Once it's in it, you can read it for the rest of it.
Are you kidding?
Are you, I'm almost sure to read it. No, you can't.
Yeah.
You have to read it when it comes out.
Oh, and then they burn the mole.
Yeah.
That's where you're from.
Yeah, those are we going to do in Boston.
They burn the books.
Yeah, anyways.
Oh, yeah.
So, can I give you all my tour dates?
There are only a couple.
I'll tell you.
Okay, so there's June 11th in D.C.
And then June 13th, Boston, June 16th, New York at Joe's Pub.
And then June 25th in Los Angeles at D.
Dynasty typewriter.
So those are my little,
that's my little June run that's happening.
That's cool.
And bring up his dates, too.
I want to plug both the dates.
I thought you meant like there's only two dates.
I want to plug both his dates.
No, plug it.
I have a couple.
San Diego, June 11th, June 12th, June 13th.
He's going to be at American Comedy Club.
Great Comedy Club.
Oh, that's a fun play.
I like that place.

at the Comedy Zone.
The 5th and 6th.
Make sure go to punchup.
Dot Live slash
Pat Burcher.
Pat Bacha without a tea.
No, with a tea.
Oh, with a tea, without a Y.
It's got...
God, damn, you're good.
That's what you are.
I love you.
I'll do every show with you.
Please.
Do you guys do shows together?
Yeah, we just started this new...
I'm trying to tell you.
Oh, right.
Of course.
You're 22 second.
Hey, you're two Emmys.
I'm sorry.
We're little guys.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'll just put this over here.
Sorry, my entire pilot fits inside a small envelope.
You're not going to read a page and a half of genius.
God.
So, so did you, I don't, you can't.
You ask the questions because I definitely can, like, say some stuff.
So when did you realize that you were onto something?
Because it has to be a point where, like, this is stupid.
Oh, I want to ask me a quick.
Yeah, yeah.
Did the corner come, there has to be a death.
It has to be what it was.
So the most interesting thing, well, this is not the most,
There's a lot of different little interesting things along the way.
But an interesting thing is I kind of assumed once I get the autopsy report,
I'm going to be more satisfied.
But what I learn is that once you have that information,
it just leads to more questions.
So I think a lot of people think that the show ends with me getting the autopsy report,
but it's definitely like just the midpoint of the show.
Like a lot happens after I actually find out how she died.
What about her family?
Do they want you to do this?
Is there people like don't back?
Oh, well, her family, her mom is very encouraging of it.
And also is writing about Katie.
When I got in touch with her mom after 20 years,
I find out that her mom is writing a memoir.
So we're both kind of like working on projects about Katie at the very same time,
which is pretty, I mean, that like kind of blew my mind, honestly.
I was like, wait, not only like, because I definitely had my reservations about doing the show.
it's a tough, it's tough subject matter.
It involves other people.
I'm very, like, insistent, especially as a stand-up, I'm like, I can only tell my story.
I'm not trying to, like, tell anybody else's story, and you have to be really careful
because it's hard to tell my story without mentioning other people.
So, and also, like, speaking about, like, true crime and stuff, I have a lot of strong
feelings on true crime.
I think there's a lot of bad that comes out of it.
I think there's some good that comes out of it.
So that's all stuff that I, like, explore in the show.
So it's kind of like, I'm in a true crime while also being like, is it?
it okay to be in a true crime? Like, this is kind of like a fucked up, like, exploitative genre.
Are we going to be satisfied? Yes. Definitely. No, and that's a great question.
That's such a funny. No, it's so real, though. It's like we pretend that true crime isn't a story and it's
storytelling. Excuse me one second. Yeah, sorry. Yeah, of course. Of course. I'm so sorry. I have two
great questions. Yeah. How many do you have? I have like about 16. You have no great questions.
I do, but you're running out of time. I like that you said about 16. I have about 16. I have about
16. Yeah, yeah. I mean, seriously.
No, that's a great question. They should ask that
in every interview. You have really good questions
about this. Am I going to be satisfied?
Look, cut the shit.
No, exactly. And I also think that way.
These things, especially
true crime stuff, a lot of
me of you. Oh, my God, please. Oh,
Blue Ball, Beyond. Yeah, Blue Ball. Are you kidding?
It's horrible. Yeah, I
horrible. And they string you along for like
eight episodes and you're like, I cannot
believe I committed to you. Yeah.
For you to just do me dirty.
I don't really watch true crime or listen to it.
Why?
It bums you out.
Yeah.
Why is it bum you out?
Does it bum you out or make you anxious or both?
A little bit of both.
Yeah.
And it's like, uh...
What if you found out that he was Katie's killer?
Oh, my God.
Right now on the podcast.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
He stole the why a lot.
So he probably is capable of murder, I would say.
What's the last letter in Katie's name?
Why?
Oh my.
My Uber's here.
Oh, my.
I definitely want to go see this
I'll tell you where the why is on your Patreon
If you want to know where the why is
Go to Patreon
Robert Kelly
And you'll never know
And you'll be unsatisfied
We're going to solve this crime
Solve it with us
On Patreon
And you'll find out
At the end of Jamie show
She'll tell you
No no no no no
No
I just
I just, it's 20 years she's gone that you still, how close were you? Like, best friends?
Yeah. Wow. That's crazy. I mean, yes, best friends, it got, and I talk about this in the show,
it definitely, like, the last year of her life, like, stuff felt weird. Like, when I would hang out
with her, things were, it was just weird. Like, she would kind of act out and she just wasn't herself. So,
there was a lot of mystery around that and I think like I felt like I kind of started losing her
before I lost her but but it was still I never thought this person's going to die like ever
so that was just a complete shock can I ask you another question yeah yeah I think is going to be
another great question oh I love great question were you ever in danger uh when I was
investigating yeah there there was one interview yeah there was one interview
you in particular where I was like, I had people with me, so I was okay, but I definitely was like,
this feels bad, like something's bad. I just had like a feeling where I was like, I don't like
this. I feel like I'm being lied to. And yeah, so that, yeah. And also that person wanted to,
this is, yeah, he wanted to like go get lunch the next day with me. And I was like, I don't like
that.
Like there was something weird where I was like, oh, like, I feel like he's like trying to like pull one over on me.
Trying to hook up with you?
Not hook up with me, but just like maybe take advantage.
I'm making it sound sexual.
It's not.
It was like I felt like if I spent time with this person, they might like like do something like steal for me or like I don't know.
I just was like something feels not safe with this person.
I feel that way.
Being around somebody who steals from you.
Yeah, I know.
Well, you know.
It's one of the most uncomfortable feelings.
Yeah.
It makes me feel sick to myself.
Sure.
Then why do you keep having me back, Bobby?
Why?
Because I don't have a why.
All right.
Fair.
I'd have a why.
I'd answer that why question if I had my why.
It's under my hat.
That would have been great.
That would have been pretty cool, actually.
I was like, is it under his hat?
So there was a, is there anything in the one-moment show where
you have anything of Jamie's?
Like, did you have a hat?
Like, is there anything that represents her in the show?
Yes.
Okay.
Yeah, very much.
Is that another great question?
Yeah, it actually is a great question.
And I say actually because, yeah, I'm thinking of the show.
Like, I know pieces that you don't.
And I'm like, yeah.
Yeah, definitely.
Also, Katie was, like, a big comedy fan.
And, like, we were really into the same stuff.
Like, we were both, like, kind of art nerds.
And, like, she would love the show.
Like I check in, anytime I'm like, am I doing okay?
Is the show good?
I'm like, she would love this.
Oh, I thought she'd say this show.
Oh, not this show.
I'm so sorry.
She absolutely would not let him speak.
To be dead clear.
We like the same things and I'm having a whirl of time.
She'd actually be like, I don't know.
I wish I didn't die.
She'd never go on that show.
Oh, my God.
Katie, one thing about Katie, I think she would have loved Patreon.
Really do.
Is the like the impetus of the show a bit like you shared the story a few times and people were like, you should tell this.
No.
How did it come about?
What was the, what was the?
That's a good question.
Hang on stop.
Yeah.
Good.
Not great.
Yeah.
Huh.
That's a good question.
That's a decent question.
And that's a question that you asked.
Yeah.
And I love that.
And I love how you did that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Empitism.
Yeah.
Try to be on your writer's side.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Whatever.
No.
Okay.
So impetus for the show.
Well, it actually came about pretty organically because I was just kind of on this journey for answers.
And I was filming it and recording things along the way.
But I didn't have like an end goal necessarily.
I was just like I feel compelled to like make sure this is on record in some capacity,
whether it's like with my phone, this guy, Alex Hammer, who's this like brilliant, like documentary.
That's a great detective name.
Yeah.
So he made Amy Schumer's documentary about her pregnancy that was on HBO that I loved.
And basically when I was like starting to do this, I watched her documentary and I was like,
whoa, like this is so good.
Who helped her make this?
And I literally just looked in the credits and I was like, that's my dude.
Found out we have the same agency.
Found out through the agency, he was on board.
Wow.
And then he like helped me just film stuff with no goal in mind.
I was not like, I'm making a documentary.
I never thought that.
I just thought, like, I need records of everything.
And then I brought my other friend who is a legit crime journalist on to help me navigate
the story because I was so in it that I was like, I don't even know, like, what narrative we're telling here.
Like, I'm, like, boots on the ground, like, just focused.
So if you feel like there's anything that I should be asking that I haven't asked or, like,
are there people I should be talking to that I, because I'm so, like, mired in what's going on,
I'm not thinking to talk to those people.
I need you to like be my other like pair of eyes and ears.
And so yeah,
that was like the team basically.
And then Winston Hodges who just did.
Another good.
What is it?
Funny.
Funny A.F.
The Netflix show.
Brilliant comedian.
Winston and I were doing shows together.
So then we kind of were like,
oh yeah.
Like there is something funny about the fact that like a comedian is trying to
investigate something.
Like what does it even look like?
So it was kind of this composite of like these people who are my friends.
So it's funny, but serious and meaningful.
Yeah.
I'm really, yeah, yes.
I mean, I'm very, like, I, I think that I'm very, like, nervous about things, like,
like, almost like, contriving meaning from things.
I'm very, like, I don't ever want to, like, be like, and that's my one woman show.
Like, there's something, because I come from a stand-up background.
I'm not a storyteller.
like I fell into writing, but like I started on stage.
So like, I just am very sensitive to like how the show is perceived.
And yeah, I think there is a takeaway, but that wasn't like my goal going into it.
If like I'm going to make a meaningful show, like I just was like, this is about my friend.
This is going to be this.
It's not going to be a book or a Netflix thing.
We'll see.
We'll see.
Well, what I would love ultimately is I weave the stage show in with the dock footage.
And it's like a one and a half hour like stand up movie essentially.
is what I would love to do with it.
Is there video clips in the show?
There's audio in the show.
I was going to show video,
but it's kind of distracting going from video back to me.
So I just play audio, like black screen with, like, captions.
So you get the feel of, like, true crime podcast, but it is still.
Did it help you?
Did it help you?
It's my favorite thing I've ever worked on.
So this help?
Even if nothing happens with it.
I was like, it's so satisfying to get answers.
It helped you emotionally.
deal with them.
Huge.
Huge.
Oh, that's great.
You can help the mom?
I,
has she seen it?
She hasn't seen the show, but she knows about the show and she was in the documentary.
Like we went to her.
Are you nervous about her seeing it?
Parts of it.
Yeah.
Parts of it mostly, not, not anything to do with Katie, more like my perception of what was
going on at that time.
It's not 100% glowing in terms of like how I saw the people around her.
Right.
So I get nervous about her.
There are parts of the show.
show that end up resolving, but you kind of have to, like, go with me on the parts where I'm like,
I don't know how I feel about these people.
Yeah.
And like, that's probably a hard thing to watch because you're like, well, you're kind of like,
you know, you're not being 100% positive about someone who might see this.
But on the back end, you realize that like I, my perception starts to shift.
So my wife feels out about my whole.
I don't talk like that.
Yes, you do.
Oh, my gosh.
But to be spouses of comedians.
What a world.
I know.
It's the best thing ever.
Is that what you're saying?
Yeah, it rocks is what I mean.
I can't wait to see it.
It's so interesting.
I like when I do like true crime, but I want to be satisfied.
I want to be done with it at the end.
For sure.
I don't want to have it to keep going.
I want to be over.
I watch it.
I want to be over with it too.
I also think like the person who died, I'm like, all right, they died.
That sucks.
Yeah.
They don't also want like,
some shit documentary about them.
They want something good and juicy.
Oh, he's got a good one.
I know what it is.
I want to ask the first.
I know what it is.
What is it?
Oh, you're going to ask.
A movie idea about a ghost
whose unfinished business is to finish a true crime podcast.
Great.
That was.
Oh,
was he a podcast?
Oh, it's in there.
Oh, it's also in there.
Oh, that's so cool.
That's our 33 second.
33 second pilot plus.
25 second pilot plus a trailer.
trailer?
Whoa.
Yeah, the trail's on
SD card.
I was going to say,
it's not a little chip.
It's not like a little microchip.
We filmed it on his iPhone 7 plus.
Pretty cool.
I got a 13 mini.
Guys, why am I the only one
that's thirsty in here?
What's happening?
I've been drinking.
Have you?
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
I feel like I'm very like crunchy,
crunchy.
Oh, no, because I brought my own.
Right, you have a nice water bottle.
Because he's a hippie,
and I don't want to have plastic cups
because it's...
You're also drinking like a little baby calf, side of the mouth.
That's the way he drinks.
His father made him drink out of a cage as a cage.
I was raised by calves.
You, my friend, you were touring with Bert Kreischer.
Yeah.
Right?
That's cool.
A good friend.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I just actually found a photo of Bert where he, I don't know if it was his first one,
but I think it was his beginning of his cigar thing.
You know, you smoke cigars now.
Yeah, he loved him.
He came down and did this podcast way back in the day when I was, I would just do it myself.
I had these little cameras, MoVee, they were called.
Oh, yeah.
It would, uh, you could set up like nine different shots on one camera.
Oh.
And I would, I would just, uh, switch from here.
Sure.
And we sat and we did it at V cuts next to the improv in Melrose.
And he came down and met me and we smoked a big bat.
And I remember just hanging out and smoking bats.
And then he got really into it.
and this was before he blew the fuck up.
Because he was,
Bert was big.
He said many,
he was big when he first moved to New York
because they wrote that article about him.
What was the article?
The Van Wilder?
Yeah, the Van Wilder.
He was Van Wilder.
Oh, that's right.
Yeah.
That was him.
Wow.
That's crazy.
And then he kind of blew up and it kind of went away a little bit.
He got some deals.
And I was back in Deal Day.
Sure, deal day.
And then I was with Barry Katz.
You,
Wish you had a deal?
Yeah.
I'll give you a deal.
No.
I'll give you a holding deal for a year.
For, okay.
I'll give you a deal.
There's two activias for free.
I'll give you one activity.
That's a deal.
Hang on, before you make that deal, hang on.
One activia with three spoons to eat.
Wait.
What are you going to eat those activities with?
With his why.
He's going to dip each, yeah, for sure.
You dip one part of the Y.
Yeah, you double dip like that.
You know where that prong.
You want to know where I got that Y from?
Go ahead.
Put it in your mouth.
Find out.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Find out by which communicable disease I get.
That Y is at the end of her show.
Her friend was killed with that Y.
Come on, Bobby.
All right.
Oh, my God.
How could you talk about Y?
My friend was killed with a Y.
No.
All right.
We're going to end this.
It's getting weird.
No, but you wound up boring with Bert.
Yeah.
Like I said, he came back.
He did travel channel, became massive.
The best show ever on TV, hurt Bert.
I never saw that.
They would just sent, the fans would send things in to him, like things for him to do,
and he would have to do them.
Like one was, he had to catch a pass.
Someone would throw the ball, kick the ball.
He would have to catch it while three linemen came down and tackled him.
I mean, he go violently hurt, violently hurt.
Viantly hurt, but it was hurt, Bert.
And it was such a great.
I think they had to stop it because of it.
insurance. I'm sure. But it was great
and then he had his own show. Yeah.
And then he went away again. But then
all of a sudden he went on Rogan,
told that story, and he became
the biggest comic around
for a while and still, you know, it still
is one of those guys who was touring
and you went on his tour with him. But...
How was that? Was that so fun? It's fun, yeah, yeah.
But here's a crazy
part of him. He's on the tour
when the bus caught on fire.
I had to get rid
of the Y, Bobby.
Right?
Yeah, but the bus, we weren't actually on the bus.
I want to know the story because Burke called me that day.
Yeah, because he was buying cigars.
I remember he called you when he was buying cigars.
I go, hey, what a fucking asshole.
What a Hollywood piece of shit he is.
He calls me, I see this.
I get a phone call.
I'm like, oh my God, Bert, are you okay?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, I'm in a cigar lounge.
What do you think I should get?
A tattooahe or my father?
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
I'm like, I'm like, dude, what happens?
with the bus,
no big deal.
Anyway,
I'm going to buy cigar.
It's like,
what did happen?
How did that happen?
We're going to find out.
But in his one-man show.
Okay.
He's going to perform live right now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
My friend bus.
I'm across the street from Joe's Pub on Tuesday.
Wow.
Dueling shows.
My friend bus.
My friend bus.
Burst's not going to like the way you talk about him in this.
So what happened?
So the last time Bert was in Fargo, his bus also got fucked up, but it didn't catch on fire.
And he posted about it online, and then people came out and they helped them out with the bus.
So at that Fargo show, after the show, a fan gave him like fan art, which was the, because in the, in the selfie he took with everybody, he was wearing a Pittsburgh Penguin Beanie.
in a Syracuse hoodie, like an orange one.
So the person made this framed thing with the hoodie and the beanie
and the two pictures and it said the machine.
It was a very nice gift.
Okay.
The only problem was laced with dynamite.
Yeah, yeah.
No, but here's the thing, right?
So we take that thing and we put it on the bus.
Or I didn't.
Someone put it on the bus.
And they wrapped it in towels.
And it's over, while we're driving, like 40 minutes outside of Fargo,
we're not going too fast because there's a storm.
so the bus driver is going like half the speed limit.
The tire blows and the tires right under the pitcher from the Fargo thing.
Yeah.
So then he pulls over and the tire had come off the rim and went beside the bus.
And then both bus drivers were like, we've been driving for like over 30 years and we've never seen something like this,
which is something you hear in a spooky movie.
Yeah.
And then they're waiting to see if they can get like a tow truck to put, bring a new tire.
They can't do it.
We're debating whether or not we should stay.
day on the bus until they show up with the new tire.
And then they're like, oh, then we might miss the show tomorrow.
And luckily there was two other buses.
There was enough room for the crew, like everybody to get on there.
And then the bus driver stayed back.
And we went next day around noon, the bus driver whose name's Dewey, great dude.
Doey's great.
And he's waiting.
And he thinks he hears a tow truck.
So he goes outside to check, no tow truck, goes back on the bus.
It's smoking.
Oh, my God.
And then he's like, oh, fuck.
Oh, my God.
He gets back off.
The thing catches on fire, the bus, and within three minutes, it's just like gone.
Three minutes is that photo.
Yeah, three minutes is like that photo.
Oh, my God.
And then luckily no one got.
No, it was an electrical fire.
And no one knows exactly why.
Because it was on the side of the street, like for the whole night.
So it could have been just.
because it wasn't moving. Who knows? Nobody knows
why that caught on fire.
No, they know it's an electrical fire and there was like
faulty wiring or something or something.
You know, some shit just catches on fire sometimes, Bobby,
when people start asking too many questions.
Are you threatening me?
No, no, no, no, no. I never threaten you, Bobby.
You never threaten you.
I can't hear you.
I can't hear you. When you do that, I can't have you.
Yeah, no, no.
Wow, that's so crazy.
Yeah, and it's crazy.
If you were on that bus, you would have been,
Toast. If we were sleeping on that bus, it would have been nuts.
Three minutes? You wouldn't have had time to get out?
I'm fast, but yeah.
I mean, Burke could have got out because he didn't have to grab a shirt.
He lost a lot of shirts on that, but.
A lot of great shirts were on that bus.
Did you have to take your shirt off?
No.
Okay.
My pants.
No.
Oh, my God.
Keep the why.
Keep the why.
You can have it.
All right, well, listen.
This has been a great show.
I mean, I'm so glad I got to meet you.
I'm so glad I got to meet you.
Congratulations on your Emmys.
That must be awesome.
Where are they?
They're in my house just like under the TV.
Isn't it weird that people don't care?
I was at Louis House for Thanksgiving and my son was there.
Put this by your Emmys.
Oh my God.
Is that the original Y?
There's so many Wyes.
Yeah, if you touch it right here, give me that.
Oh.
Okay.
That's your Y.
Take that Y and when you show up, every time you show you have that on you.
Okay.
That's your pacifier why.
Thanks.
I want to make it into a chain, though, so you can wear it like...
Okay, then I'll leave it here until you bring it into your chain.
All right.
Anyways, I'm sorry for hijacking the congratulations.
Oh, no, I mean...
No, it's good.
It's so organic.
But I was over Louis's house, and I looked down and my kid had Louis Emi in his mouth and just chewing on it.
And I was like, oh, my God, you can't do that.
And Louis come, ah, yeah, you can, just chew it.
I got a couple more.
They're really sharp, though.
Yeah, well, the wings are.
The wings are so sharp.
He was chewing on the ball.
Oh, well, that's a good part to chew on.
That's pretty amazing an Emmy, though.
Smart kids.
I just talked about that today.
One of the things I want to do that I don't know I'll ever do is I want to win an award for acting.
I hear that.
I do.
I'm going to spend the next six years studying under somebody.
Uh-huh.
Get an Egot?
A what?
Emmy, Golden Globe, Oscar, Ton.
Tony.
The egot.
I think the G's Grammys.
You think I'm going to get an Egot?
Yes.
Dude, I'm not even going to get an Emmy.
I'm not even going to get a Skank Fest Award.
I don't even get a podcast award.
But no, it's great.
I can't wait to see your show.
Make sure you guys check that out.
It sounds so interesting.
Yes.
Oh, yeah.
You can get tickets on my Instagram.
All the links are there.
It's at really Jamie Lee on Instagram.
Yeah, make sure you check that out.
I'm going to all sorts of cities.
Definitely, especially if anyone listening in California.
We're really trying to sell that one.
Do you give me some Ted Lassow gear?
Yeah.
What do you want?
I don't know, a hoodie.
Okay.
All right.
I'll never see it.
You will.
All right.
You will.
Danny will steal it.
I have to like track one down, but you, yeah.
I'll make that happen.
Yeah, I love that show so much.
And you, my friend, you're the best.
You're one of my favorite guests.
Do you know?
Oh.
Do you know that?
Oh, no.
When Danny tells me you're on, I'm like, I'm so excited.
Fuck yeah.
It's my favorite guest.
We have such a weird chemistry.
You really do.
I don't know what it is.
And it's been really wonderful to third wheel that.
You know what I want to do, dude?
What?
I want to give you mine.
That's very sweet.
Danny, what do you got?
