So you were in like parties and stuff where people are talking about like, oh yeah, all this democratic shit. And I was touring with Theo in parts of the country in like parties and stuff where people are talking about like oh yeah all this all this democratic shit and I was touring

with Theo in parts of the country with like arenas full of people that will fucking call you the n-word if you mention I was like in this world of like oh my god this is the whole country you know I mean yeah and we're just living in this area and then after put that in your pocket though please no okay leave it okay? Okay, leave it out, okay. Is it a dangerous area? What the fuck? I just wanna take it back, that's why.

Oh, I'm taking it. I never thought this day would come, I forgot about it. Yeah, well I'm a man of my word, we made a bet. I thought that it was gonna be a landslide because I'd been watching, you know, I thought the debate, you know, she had won the debate. I'm like, oh, this looks good. She did win the debate,

but then Trump went on all these podcasts. Dude, he went on podcasts, brother. And he got shot. And he got shot, come on. And, oh, that assassination attempt by Lofty. And the second attempt, there was two attempts, right? I don't know. One, there was a guy named Bush or whatever.

Was there? When I say Bush, I mean George W. Bush. But my point is, okay. Um, ha ha ha ha, plan words. Ha ha ha. Did you vote? Me? No, I couldn't. Why? I was asleep.

Oh, that's right. Did you register? Yeah, I registered. I don't think you did. I did. You're a liar. I have proof. Okay.

And you fell asleep. Were you born here? No, I'm from Texas, man. Hell yeah. What the fuck? What he meant, bro, what he meant here is not in America. Yeah, I'm He meant in America. Yeah, I'm from Texas.

America. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cool, man. You think that's the best state? It is. Ooh. Would you concur? Fuck, no.

California is the best state. I mean, I don't agree with the politics here, but I think California is the best state. I agree. Man, we got guns out there. Okay, that's a good thing. Yeah, but you also I'm not saying in a war, okay, maybe you'll win. Yeah. Right. But that's not what I'm basing on just in terms of like, um, actually in a war who would win? I think California. No, no, Texas would

win in a war. No, but can I tell you my argument against it then? Sure. All right. Um, the gays, oh, they go rabbit. just think about that We're celebrating at the Abbey But we also have MS 13 yeah gangs dude we got gangs But those motherfuckers have like scary white people that have like racks in their trucks I know but still I'll get dude MS 13. They fucking put tattoos on their eyeballs Yeah, I don't fuck around. They don't fuck around. We don't fuck around yours You're putting on Mexicans to so Mexicans to like Mexican OTs from there, right? Oh, you have more taxes. You have more Mexicans in Texas. You think yeah. No, I think California has more Mexican

Can you Google that who has more Mexicans? I think that will that would sway the war Did y'all see that Trump he says he's gonna go against the cartel. I did see what do you think about that? You think another assassination attempt is coming dude. Yeah That's kind of a different it's a lot of talk but what is it they California has a larger Mexican population in Texas dude What's up? Let's talk about the war now. Now what? Now what, dude? We have more people. There's no way.

Give me the numbers, there's no way. Hey, he's autistic, right? Yeah, he's autistic. Yeah. He's also, he has no, he has never read a book. No. He has no information in his head. That was last year.

Yeah, we have more people. Oh, man. Yeah Alright 39 p. Million while Texas had a population of 31.

Yeah, no no I'll be honest you're one of those guys that if you were before me on a lineup I Try to switch it. I've done it before. Oh, you've done it Yeah, many times and if I ever go and I see Bobby's name in pencil before mine. Yeah. Yeah, I knew that they use it Yeah, I'm the one that you is using a pencil, but I don't know why you do that because you're one of the big doesn't matter I'm here. I don't want to work But I don't know why you do that because you're one of the biggest doesn't matter. I don't want to work You know, I mean you're every time I know but following you there's okay, I'm gonna give you my names Do you have people that you don't like following? Mmm, maybe the music music ones the musical No, just the ones that are like so musical and then the crowd is saying right over over this

I mean you could always reset it you can too But it's not like optimal if you're like going up in the whole fucking thing and then like, Craig Robinson, killer, but then like has gone up and done like a musical piece for, you know, whatever. That's why he usually closes. Yeah. You know, so, but like if there's-

He's a tough one. But yeah, but I mean, he kills it, and then it's like after that, it's kind of like, the room is totally like not for stand up, stand up. Exactly, so it changes the chemistry. A little bit, yeah. Yeah, so mine is you, Rick Ingram. Oh yeah, Rick's a killer.

Because he does such good, Ian Baggs is like that too, where they're such, have we had Ian on this podcast? I don't think so. We gotta have Ian, but I can't believe it, because he's a dear friend. I love Ian, Ian's so funny. I love him, he's so funny. But they both are such good at crowd work. That's hard and then um

But then if they're really bad, too, it's kind of hard sometimes Yeah But I think you oh when your energy when you go up it resets everything and people are so excited to see you that you're gonna Crush every time it's not about me. It's about you right now. Okay, great And so I want to give you your flowers while you're still alive. God knows how long we have I have my flowers you have them. Yeah, okay. I'd like to give you your flowers while you're still alive. God knows I have my flowers You have them? Yeah, okay. I'd like to get their blooming Bobby No, you've always been nice to you ever since the beginning we're similar in many ways. Oh, you know that I agree

When what way do you think I think our family dynamic was really the same our dads were probably a little abusive Yeah, you know we didn't have much love and attention at home We had that and so what's your best? What's what's the most positive thing your dad's ever said? Get the fuck out of here He said he said stuff, but I mean it's like you know it's that shit when you're like he has he see you perform He has and he thinks it's really funny and stuff But you know it took him years to be like oh, that's cool You know all right. He didn't give a fuck He just wants you to make money like whatever just be secure in your financial thing So he doesn't have to worry about it. He sacrificed everything to bring us here, so I give him all that dude

I'm like you know I'm so grateful for him, and I love him to death But he's you know he just wasn't you know he didn't know how to be the best dad So it's not his fault like our parents tried their best you know? They fucking raised him in a kennel. Do you know what I'm saying? They tried their best. In a kennel, yeah. Yeah, it was a big one. Ooh.

That's not what it is. Oh, okay. Double P-Pads in there. But yeah, what's another similarity you think we have? I think our insecurities. We have a lot of insecurities. That's the one I was talking about, yeah. We have a lot of performance anxiety and shit like that

where you think you're gonna bomb. And then after the set, I know this, because you're just like me, we'll get off and be like, fuck, fuck, that wasn't good. And we'll talk audiences out of a good set. They'll be like, that was great. And you're like, nah. Yeah.

And then I'll do that so much. To where in the meet and greet, the people will walk away thinking like, maybe that guy does suck. All right, yeah, yeah, yeah. they just had a great time at your show. And then- I tried to convince them that it wasn't good. Yeah, exactly.

Because maybe you know you could do better and it wasn't your best that you think, but it's- Yeah, because if Bill Burrow went up there, he would have done this and that, you know what I mean? But here's another reason why, the first day I realized we're similar, and you probably don't know this, okay? But I remember.

Okay. Is when, so, you this, okay? But I remember. Okay. Is when, so, you know, I was on a show called Mad TV, and we did the original show, you know, and then it ended, and then many years later, they rebooted Mad TV, and they did what, how many? Two seasons? One season.

One season. That was a disaster. It was a disaster. So Adam Ray was a cast member, there it is. Oh, there it is. And Amir was a cast member, there he is. Oh, there it is. And Amir was a cast member, there he is. I was so happy to be on the cast. I just recently worked with a black lady right there.

What's her name? That's Lyrk Lewis. Is it? Okay, good. It was just, you know, I don't know what happened. The production was just crazy. They didn't set you guys up for a success. They didn't set us up for it.

And it was like, it wasn't the same. You saw, like the wigs weren't fitting. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What the fuck are we doing? The budgets just wasn't there. Yeah, when we did it, it was like, you know, they would cost every episode costs like a couple million. Ours cost like 48 bucks.

Yeah, yeah. I did two of them. How many? I did one. 10. I did a couple of sketches and I remember I did one with Ike with you and that was fun. Dude, that was my favorite sketch on the show. Yeah, with me, you, Adam Ray.

Shark Tank? No, no, no, not that one. The one with me, you, Adam Ray, Ike, where you were stuck in the wall. Oh, that was fun, yeah, yeah, yeah. Dude, Bobby was stuck in the wall. It was a sketch where I had just been living there. Oh, yeah, yeah.

Since we ended. Since it got canceled. Were you there? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I ran out of the wall. And it was called John Barinholtz was the writer. Yeah. I just worked with his dad, Alan.

Oh, yeah? I never met his dad. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, this is it. There you are.oltz was the writer. Yeah. You know, I just worked with his dad, Alan. Oh yeah? Yeah. I never met his dad. Yeah, yeah. Oh yeah, this is him. There you are. There we go. Ike's. And then fucking Bobby's in the wall.

I'm in the wall. And then, where are we going? Okay. I never saw it. Dude, you were so funny in this sketch. Look at him. Look at him, dude. He was so...

He was so funny. Hey! God damn. That was fun. I can't get. Dude, the way you did this was so good. Anyway, so this is how I know. You can turn it off. Here's how I know. You pulled me aside and this is the exact same insecurity I had. Yeah.

Can you guess what it is? No. Can I say how? No, no. You pulled me aside and you go, yeah, man know, can you guess what it is? No. And I say how? No, no, you pull me aside and you go, yeah man, I just like, I can't,

the writers aren't right, they won't listen to my pitch. You know what I mean? I'm not good, you know what I mean? Yeah. Whenever I pitch them an idea, it's like not good. You know what I mean? And I went, dude, that's exactly how I felt. Yeah.

You know what I mean? Where it's like, you and I are a different kind of comedian. You know, we're more performers. Can you agree? Absolutely. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, if you listen to our acts, like you read our acts, you'd be like, that's why I'm horrified of sending transcripts.

And they're like, send your transcript. I go, dude, you will kick me off the show. Yeah, you'll kick me off the show, yeah. Because on paper, right, it's okay. It's basic. It's meat and potatoes. We're personality comedians. So we use our personality and our energy Yeah, because on paper, right, it's okay. It's basic. It's meat and potatoes. We're personality comedians.

So we use our personality and our energy and our attitude. We learn from the blacks. And we love the blacks for this. Jesus Christ, Trump talk. And we love them, we love them. We love our Afro-Americans. Everybody's so good. No, because it's like when you look at a performer like Cat, it's good writing, but it's also

energy and attitude and delivery that really sells it. The voice, Chris Tucker was the same way where his voice was so high and interesting. And you're so fun to watch. You're fun to watch. Like you go to New York and these guys are so well written. But you know what I figured, sorry to cut you off Bobby, but I you go to New York and these guys are so well written. You know what I figured, sorry to cut you off Bobby, but I figured that in New York the stages are so small. Do you know what I mean? So they're not inclined to write this big performative

bit. Yeah, I was at the Cellar two months ago and it was like the piano players right here. I did the, what's that? Big Room. Underground. I love that. That's a great room. That's the best one there. New York, yeah. Right. And I was like trying to do, you know,

there's a bit, the stabbing pit, right? You know what I mean? Right? You know what I mean? And I'm trying to walk, but I had to do five walks across this thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. To make it sell, you know what I mean?

Yeah, it was crazy. And the piano guy is like sitting there. Was it red? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Great guy, yeah sit in there. That's was it red. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah great guy. Yeah, um so because I when I was on that I remember I Never written a sketch. Right? You know me that's not my wheelhouse and um, I Think every Mondays was pitch day, right? I'm sorry. I had an ozumbik burp and then I apologize

Those are nasty too. Yeah, it's just just had some donut in it, they had donut. So I remember on Mondays I would sit there, there was a ping pong table when we were doing it, the Hollywood Center Studios, and there was these gigantic couches, and on pitch day I would just be sitting on the couches while actors are coming in and out of writers rooms, and I'd just be sitting there with myches while actors are coming in and out of writers rooms. And I'd just be sitting there with my one thing.

And then I would just end up playing ping pong with people. Hey Frank, let's play round. You know what I mean? But then the table read packet would come out and there's nothing that was in. And that was years. And it's my fault, I should have learned to do it. You were the funniest guy on the show. No, don't, no, no. You were, because when I would watch it, you were the only guy that was years. And it's my fault, I should've learned to do it. You were the funniest guy on the show.

No, don't, no, no. You were, because when I would watch it, you were the only guy that I liked. I mean, not only guy, but you were the guy, like I remember, I was like, that's the guy. And then I remember seeing you on Sunset by the Comedy Store one time, when I was in college at UCLA,

and I was like, fuck, that's the fucking guy. Like I was so happy to see you because you were my favorite on the show. Oh, gosh, don't say, I don't want to compliment fast, but my point is- No, no, I do. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You got your 500. Oh, gosh, I don't want to compliment fast, but my point is- No, no, I do. Hold on. You got your 500.

No, no, fuck off. Fuck off. Fuck you, man. No, I want to tell you, because you were always nice to me in the beginning, because I remember one time I was in the Belly Room and I was like so, I had no money, zero fucking money. And I was like, Dan, you're like, what the fuck's wrong?

I was like, oh, I had to make money. I was like, I was running the show in the main room. You're like, why are you even doing that? I was like, I got to make money. You're like, you're I gotta make money. I was like, I was running the show in the main room. Why are you even doing that? I was like, I gotta make money. You're like, you're funny. The money will come. You told me that. And the money still hasn't come.

But it felt good when you said it at the time. No, you make money. You make money. You survived. You did good. I mean, how many dates have you done with Theo? Oh, we did so many dates. I know. It's so fun. I love it. And you know how it is. When you Theo? Oh, we did so many days. I know it's so fun

I love how it is. I love it when you travel with Santino, dude How much more fun is way better when you have somebody with you? We have so much fun, dude I just did Schomburg right which is fun Okay, I don't know it could be a theater you fucking asshole. Yeah, I did that Schomburg improv and I love the people come out, but it's snowy. It's the coldest you've ever seen in any environment. Nothing to do there. And it's in the suburbs, and it's so cold,

and it's so bleak that you just end up just getting picked up. You go to the shows, you end up in that club for two shows in the green room. Make them sneak me out to go to P.F. Chang's or whatever, you know what I mean? But then I would come back, right? And it's like, it's just boring. And then when you go out with your friends.

Wait, when you just have them sneak you, what are you going in, like a merch suitcase and have them roll you to the fucking thing? What are you talking about? How do you sneak out of them? With these Israeli tunnels. The Jewish tunnels. The Jewish tunnels, yeah. No, there's back alleys and ways to get out.

Anyway, you know. Oh yeah, there was a Brazilian place. Fogo de Chao. How do you know? Oh, you're sophisticated now. Yeah, this guy's making good money. Six dollars to play for car now. This guy's touching.

Motherfucker. I know, right? Um, this is, here's what I hate about the road. Yeah. I'm sitting there in the green room. You know, I sold out all the shows and I'm like, you know, I went to the manager and I go, um, yo, I ate a pay of Chang's too much. The restaurant next to it was that, you know, the fago, whatever,? We'll go to child. Look at the child, right? And I go

Can you get me a table there and they called and they said no Yeah, are you kidding? I forgot to chow. Yeah, they said no and I want to say something. Okay And I'm not trying to be Do it no, I'm not let me just see if I can find the right words, because I don't want to seem... We'll be right back. No, no, no, no, no, I got it, I got it, I got it. I know that a lot of the improv audience

goes to these restaurants that are around the fucking club, and makes them money, right? I'm asking for a table for one. I'm not asking for the world, and I'm go in and out you know I mean and whenever a restaurant goes we don't want it we can't do it you know I mean it just pisses me off does that would that piss you off or is this me? it depends man it depends on like I try not to cause a stink but there is times where I'm so inappropriate no no let me let me finish okay there's times where I'm so inappropriate. No, no, let me finish. There's times where I'm like, dude, if anybody videotaped me, I'd be done.

Like when I'm like, you got it, you got it. Oh, you've snapped before. Oh, give me a snap, give me a snap story. Oh, there's so many times. Give me one, give me one. I'm like talking to some hosts. I'll give you a snap story. Dude, because sometimes these hostess people,

like, you know, they're just fucking like, it doesn't make sense what they're telling you. You know what I mean? Exactly. We can't do it and you can't sit there because it's like dude just bend the rule for a second You know, I'm gonna be here for 20 minutes. They're like we have a reservation like I'm there at 5 Yeah, yeah, and I just want to eat before the show and go. Yeah, and like we have a reservation coming at 7 I'm like dude, I'll be 30 minutes. I'm gonna come in and I'm gonna go. I'm sorry. We can't do it It's like that's when I like I'll go crazy. Yeah, I won't go crazy about it. Come on. What are you talking?

Like, you know, I'll be rude to us where somebody videotape me I wouldn't want that one to be out there. Oh, you know, so be your snaps. Yeah Well, yeah, you know, like when you snap like that's the thing that happens with its entitlement I think it's entitlement is an entitlement like when we feel entitled Yeah when I feel entitled and because I've done the same thing where it has a little more makes a little more sense because you're Bringing people to the Schomburg improv. But you can't say that.

You can't. Oh no, I say it. Oh, you do. I'm bringing people. Because I have the manager with the manager's thing little thing there. Yeah. You're gonna go, hey, and he can't even do it.

That's crazy. And I want to look at him and go, what do you, you have no power? Right. You know, absolutely. I always tell you the worst one I did. And this is so embarrassing. Did I tell you about this one?

I probably have. Mess Hall? No, about the Irvine. So I went to Irvine early, the improv, because I was like, you know what? I want to relax. Usually when you're doing these Orange County, or like you leave too late on a Friday,

and you're stuck in traffic, and you're doing these Orange County, or like, you know what I mean, you leave too late on a Friday. And you're stuck in traffic, and you're panicking, and you're calling the club like, hey, hey, hey, push the show! Half an hour! The feature's doing 45! Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean, there's all that. This time was mind-fellows, it's like, you know what, dude, I'm gonna go early.

I went early, and I see the manager, and I go, hey, can I go to this restaurant? And they called, and the restaurant said no. What was the restaurant? So I will tell you, all right? I don't know what it's called, but it's the fancy taco place that's there. Oh, Javier's.

Yes, Javier's, right. Should we cut that? No, because Javier is the last, so I'm gonna tell you you that so this this happened like maybe seven years. Is there redemption? There's a redemption. Okay, there's a redemption. When'd you fly in today? Like right now? And you haven't slept much I can tell. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It looks like you were just born Yeah, yeah, it looks like you were just born Yeah, dude, you don't know how to speak yeah, yeah, what's going on with you right now? I had a long flight dude I know I can't okay. Well dude you right now you look like the guy at the movie theater that tears the ticket and no one listens to it. You know they go to the left and the right.

They go to the left and the right. No one listens. You go where the fuck do I go? That's what you remind me of right now. Look alive, pendejo! Yes sir, I'm going to do the Elon Musk. Oh shit. Oh wow. Getting topical too. Very topical, yeah.

So I go to the Irvine manager and I go, you can't get me a restaurant? He's like, I can't get you one. Did I sell the shows? He goes, yeah. And I go. Was it Dan? I'm leaving.

No. Yeah. And I got in the car and I drove all the way up to like, those casinos on the 5th. Oh my god, yeah, commerce? Yeah, commerce. I drove that far back from her. What?

With a full house? With a full house. And then it got to the point where my managers and people were calling going, you gotta go back, dude. All right. They go, you gotta come back, dude. You didn't close your tab. Yeah, yeah.

So I drive all the way back. I barely make it, right? And on stage, then, yeah. So I drive all the way back, I barely make it, right? And on stage, then shame occurs. Where you go, what was that all about? That's so crazy, you know what I mean? Fuck, didn't you feel bad for the people that paid to come see you though? No, I made it on time.

They didn't know what was going on. Oh, what did the manager say when you came back? He goes, oh, I'm so sorry, we don't have those kind of connections. I got you some cold cuts from Subway. Yeah, I mean it was pretty much what it was. And then the last time I was there, I just wanted to, and I said to myself,

don't do the same thing. So I went early and I went, can I go to Javier's? And he goes, yeah, no problem. And the manager of Javier's came out, right, and walked me in and they treated me completely different. I think maybe is it because I'm, back then I wasn't doing as well? Well, it didn't help that you were in blackface at the time.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, but you think that's... Did you imagine you left that part out? Yeah, yeah. I could have got a table anywhere. I said, brother, you gotta tell the full story. Yeah, but I hate that story. Is that gross, the story?

No, it's a good story. No, no, it's redemption, but it makes sense because you don't know what's going on. And if you're trying to do a last minute thing and then you get frustrated because they couldn't accommodate, I do that too. I do it too. I think we have this thing too,

especially when you do standup and then you are selling out and you're doing this thing where you're like dude Come on Like it's my I hate when and it's just starting to happen sometimes when you even when like the way that the clubs treat you Like I go to the green room and there's fucking zero there when you know It's Thursday and you have 40 people in the audience, right? And then you sell out now there's a fucking fruit plate and thing right you see a difference There's a $300 bottle of fucking what shoes. Yeah.. There's a $300 bottle of whatever. Shoes.

Yeah, yeah, $300 bottle of shoes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, you know what I'm talking about. And then you're just like, why didn't you guys do this? I was the same guy, but like, you know, just, I don't know. It's just kind of jades you in a way, I don't know. Yeah, now, so now you headline and you're getting stuff like beverages.

Yeah, certain markets. Yeah, but you know, it's always worse. Oh, you got insecure just now. Yeah. You did? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, it's so cute when you do it.

I get insecure around you and it's so weird. Like around a lot of people I don't, but when you're around. Why? A lot of people say that. He's a fucking bully, this motherfucker. Even Adam Race said when he came in he was like, I'm nervous. He's intimidating.

No, because he's so like like he's been there so long you know and he's just like like this figure there that like you don't you know I'm saying even though I've been to a comedy forever and this guy will still like you know you know let's let's take a consensus around the room let's be real because this is something I don't know about myself dude Dude, to us guys, even me, like I've been in college for 15 years. Alright, so, Jaime, do you feel insecure around me? Yes. My boy!

Really? Yes, dude, look at the poor guy. Why? You made him cry 20 minutes ago. Why? Because we called you a newborn baby? No. Newborn baby? You just scared me.

I should say you weren't the kind of MS-13 Mexican. MS-13 Mexican. You're more of a free-holish. I don't care about that. OK, good. All right. John. Sometimes.

Really? EJ. Oh my God. George. There's no way. Only when I have a good story to tell here because I know I have to make it interesting in the first three words. He's scared.

Or you'll turn it off. He's intimidating. No, otherwise no. But yeah, when I have a good story that I think will add, I'm going to change my three words. No, keep it. This is what I'm going to do. Right now, George, why don't you throw out a story? It doesn't have to be interesting. I'm going to go to the bathroom. Nope. All the good ones I've thrown out and they've been shut down. I'm not gonna try. Come on, George.

Of course I love you dude. Do you remember LA Shrimp? Oh dude. LA River Shrimp? LA River so yeah yeah you want to tell the story? I was high no? You were high you were and this is Bobby high this is another high Bobby thing. So okay guys we went to Benihana all right? Benihana. After everyone knows. You know Benihana? Of course, man.

Okay, what is it? What is it? What is it? It's a restaurant. Where they cook in front of you. I feel like he acts like, you know when a kid, when there's three kids and one person in a jacket, you know what I'm talking about?

Yeah, yeah. Three kids on each other's backs and he's trying to fit in somewhere, he's like, yes, I know what that is. I have a bank account. Imagine him as a Benny Hunter chef. Oh my God. You'd be the worst one.

How? What? How? How would he be the worst? Did you walk up there and start? There's no way you'll be able to stack the onions to make it into a fucking volcano. There's no way.

I grew up in a kitchen, so I know how to cook. But you know how to make a volcano onion thing? I can try. Yeah, right, dude. He's like, all right, you had the chorizo and shrimp. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then you have to flip the shrimp and then put it on your hat.

Can you do that? Yeah. There's no way. No, you can't. There's no way. Give me like? Yeah, and then you have to flip the shrimp and then put it on your hat Can you do that? Yeah, there's no way you can there's no no no give me like a week and then come oh Yeah, we get Benny Hanna pat yeah, and a shrimp and let's figure that do that on it Oh look on the next podcast can you do that stuff like that? Yeah? Yeah, I feel like I can do that I mean, I think after a little while these guys been doing this for 45 years, and that's what he's doing right? Listen we go to the we go to the Benihana. Okay. Because they're all different. Here's what people don't know. I think they're all owned by different people, right?

Really? Yeah, so they don't use the same quality. Steve Aoki's dad. That's the originator. I don't know if they own. Okay. We went to one that was owned by someone different. Okay, what was the first entrance when you walk in, what do they have there? Armed guard. That's when you know in, what do they have there?

Armed guard. That's when you know it's gonna be crazy. It's gonna be bad, yeah, yeah, yeah. Bro, bulletproof vest, full like magazines. And when, okay, when you see, when you see, let me ask you Jaime, when you see an armed guard, right, at a restaurant, what does that mean? Why is that guy there?

What kind of clientele do they have? A lot of upstanding white people. White people. Class A citizens. Okay. So any... I don't think he gets it. You're asking me, right? And I'm telling you.

Can you sleep before you come here? Dude, I think you should go to sleep right now. No, listen. Yeah, take a nap. Nap time's over. Can I say a brown... Marshmallow? A sweatshirt that doesn't look good on you. Why?

Because it looks like you're in a potato sack. What? My girl told me I look good in brown. Okay, good. Jesus. Okay, so... Fucking bitch. Would you call me a bitch?

No, my girl is a fucking bitch. Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ. Look what it says. What does it say is a fucking bitch. Oh. Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ. Oh, look, look what it says. What does it say? Main and heaven. Oh, that's beautiful. Oh, very cute.

God bless you. Yeah. Finnegan. My bad, my mirror. Oh no, are we? The story? Okay, so we, oh, that's the guy. That's the one.

That is the one. That's the one. That's the guy, too. That's the guy, too, yeah. That's literally the guy. Yeah. So he stands there. Looks like the guy that fought John Wick in the war. Like. That's literally the guy. Yeah, so he stands I thought John would like his army like yeah like Like the guarding the vault of a bank. Yeah

Dude at Benny Hanna and then we go sit down Bobby is high again. I'm high again. We're with a girl Your girlfriend at the time. Oh, yeah, I think we were with my girlfriend at the time. Yeah, and then We sit down and we're just laughing. That was one of the funnest Benny Hauna experiences, even though the food was shit that I've ever had. And we're sitting there, and this is the type of shit Bobby does when he's high. He goes, okay guys, we all huddled together.

He goes, what? He goes, all right, when the chef comes out and he does the fucking volcano thing with the onion, nobody react. Right. Like, you know, cause everyone goes, yeah, you know, and like, dude, it's crazy not to react. Try to do it next time you go. If you're listening and you're sitting there,

try not to react when the guy's going, choo choo, choo choo. Yeah, it's so funny. He's going, choo choo train, and then looking at you for a reaction, and going, look at choo choo, ha ha ha ha. Because I think it's too easy of a thing. I think people do it, I think people react because of it's a social gesture of, you know. And what I'm saying is, it's like, let's elevate his game and make it challenging.

It's like every comic. So that he can really write his thing. It's like every comic doing the same joke. No, it's like a comic only playing the main room at the ice house. Right. You're killing. Yeah. It's such an easy room. Go to the OR, and that's what I wanted the Benny

chef to go, to the OR, a tough room. What is that, like a hot dog stand by Dodger Stadium? Yeah, yeah. He's like, look a volcano. When I said that these guys, I was like, yes, granted, I was high, I wouldn't do it if I wasn't high, but I was like. It was so funny though.

I go, deadpan stare, when he looks for approval, not even smile. Because we know how that feels Yeah, see how this guy's this white guy's smiling. Yeah, look and he's gonna they're clapping No, we don't clap. We don't do we were like this look They all look like straight face like watch the we watched it to yeah We watched it we were watching like this and then Bobby goes I can't do it anymore. Thank you Thanks, though. Oh you broke he broke and he goes I can't do it anymore here Do it here. He gives a guy a hundred bucks

Like we were just looking and we were both like fucking grabbing each other's legs under the table Oh, you know like how long can we do this? Yeah? Yeah, this is crazy even commit to that Yeah, we were like how long can we do this and then Bobby goes? And he gives he gives the guy $100. Yeah, that thing that when comics do an impression of me the laughing Yeah, yeah, you mean I don't do that dude you do it all the time Yeah, yeah, wow so that's just my natural laugh right You mean like some people have, they'll have a cigarette when they do an impression of me and they'll be like kind of squatting and they're like, and I go, that's, I don't ever do that.

You do. I laugh like that. You're fucking Asian dolphin retarded. All right. So I'm a dolphin Korean and retarded. Right. I see. That's not good. That's not good. Yeah. Yeah, so but then talk about the LA shrimp, okay

So then we get the shrimp. Well, yeah, well, it was just disgusting the whole by okay So I want here's I went to a Benihana with my mom and my brother in December. Okay, and My mom did not wanna go. I don't, I'm not gonna eat, you know, she's so stubborn. She goes, I'm not gonna eat nothing if we go there. I go, well, I'm fine by you, because it's the only thing open, Mom, what the fuck? You know what I mean?

So we go, and she goes, I don't like fried rice. I did wanna go fo go chow. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, so she refused, she wanted to get the, she goes, I only gonna eat rice and soy sauce. Oh wow. Because she's stubborn. Because she didn't want to go there.

And then once the guy started making the fried rice, you could tell that she wanted it. Looped in. So we got her one. And then she, at the end of the meal, she was like, this is great, right? She's stubborn in that way, right? But if it was the LA shrimp, it would have been bad.

But it was like owned by a really good, the one in Phoenix. The one you went to. Yeah, yeah, some of them are really good quality. So the one that we went to, right, the shrimp was much smaller. It was like those little beige, those little tiny little. Right, and also it was like,

when they were way more too translucent and slimy. Yeah, like that frozen like little. Yeah, like they had been frozen, right? And when we ate it, and granted I'm high, so it should be the greatest thing I've ever had, right? And I remember looking at him, and just with a little shrimp sticking out of my mouth, going, what is this?

Dude, I remember when I realized about you, if you've ever eaten with Bobby, he eats soup with his hand in his pocket. I have a picture of it somewhere, and we'll put it here. What do you mean? We'll put it here, I'm put it here. What do you mean? We'll put it here. What do you mean?

He's eating soup with his hand in my pocket. He's so high, he's just eating soup but putting your, like the most vulnerable position you could be in. Like the guy is eating like he's in a fucking POW camp and he's having soup, you know that little soup they give you and he has his hand, it was just so, I'm going to put a picture so you guys can see. Well I just got three years of sobriety Saturday, I'm a three year birthday.

Hell yeah, congratulations. Three years. Stop! Stop! That's fucking awesome. Three years. Yeah, Bobby doesn't need to drink, he doesn't need to get high.

I think you're much better without it. And I went to a meeting last night, it was last minute, to take a keg. You know what taking a cake means? No. In LA, in California, you go, it's your birthday, and the whole room sings happy birthday to you. And then your friends give you the cake.

And the three that showed up, because I wanna blow their anonymity, I couldn't believe that they showed up for me. That's so cool. And it made me so emotional almost. Oh, that's so cool. And they drove all the way over there to give me a cake. And they sat next to me the whole meeting.

And it was, I think I just gotta have to go to more meetings because I think I'm at a, honestly dude, let's be honest, something's going on. Do you have a relapse feeling? No, not a relapse. I'm, since the fires, there's been a feeling of dread. Like impending doom? Impending doom.

Really? Yeah. And I can't get out of it. I've done everything I can. Therapy, you know what I mean? Meeting, I've just done everything. Calling people. Like anxiety you have? I just feel like what's the point.

Really? Yeah. It's a what's the point? Really? Yeah. It's a what's the point kind of a feeling. Wow. And I've been trying to get out of it. I've been going back to Eckhart Tolle, listening to like Power of Now on my fucking audio books. If you listen to the hummingbird, you'll notice the sounds they make.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sounds like dread. Yeah, it sounds dread and doom. It sounds like dread. The slight sounds dread and doom. Sounds like dread. The slight humming you hear from their beings is, why don't you just tie the noose and hang yourself? That guy's voice will make you wanna commit to something. In the beginning he's like,

in for three years I wandered the streets of Canada in total police with no worry in the world. And you're like listening And then then it's like okay, so here's the whole thing about you guys know how power them now work What you know at cartel toll is no, okay? You said yeah, I got you're not even here right now man, you're like I am right here. Yeah Yeah, so there's a right. There's a very popular Self-help book called

The Power of Now. That's what he was doing right now? Yeah, he was doing an impression of Eckhart Tolle because the audio book is his voice. It's his voice. It's his voice. It's so nice listening to him. So he was in Canada, he was living with just a mattress,

you know what I mean, a basement somewhere, and he wanted to kill himself, right? And it was a sense of doom and pointlessness. And he had this, you know what I mean, this concept occur. And it's basically, here's the gist of it, okay? Is that your brain and the way you think isn't who you really are. And then who you really are is the thing

that's observing your thoughts. Right. Do you understand what I'm saying? So have you ever thought something crazy and you're like, what the fuck are you talking about? I think that's the guy that's who you really are. You know what I mean? The one observing, can you understand that concept?

Yeah. Okay, explain it understand that concept? Yeah. Okay, explain it to me. You just. This poor guy. No, because I'm trying to teach him. Yeah, you want me to read it. Don't lie then. Here's the thing with you, when I say what I.

Let me finish. Okay. Let me finish. Do you want me to read this book and then come back next week for a book report? That would actually be a good idea. That would be good. Or audio book. Or audio book.

Audio book. I can read. No, no, but it's... So defensive. We're not challenging. Yeah, yeah. I'll call you in. When we start with this, let's start with,

if you want to read self-help books, that's Miguel Ruiz's The Four Agreements. It's a shorter read. Dane Cook told me to read that book, not to name drop. No, that's not, no, Dan Cook is, who's that? No, so he did? Have you read it? I have, yeah.

What do you think? I haven't, I don't know, man. Did you do it and keep it in practice? I did it for like a week. Here's what, I know, there's a fore agreement. So being impeccable with your word, I have a hard time with. Yeah.

You know what I mean? I think it's because we're people pleaser type of guys. Right. So let's look at the four agreements, alright? Don't take anything personally. So basically, I think he says this, Miguel Rue is in the book, like if somebody walked up to you, shot you in the head and walked away, that's not personal.

Right? Seems pretty personal to me. That's pretty personal. Yeah, yeah, it seems pretty fucking personal. Seems really personal to me. That's pretty pretty pretty fucking personal Like my brain yeah, yeah, but um So and let's go don't make assumptions. Do you do that always you make us dude? I'm the king of it Yes, I make stories up about people like I know it's cuz it's trauma Yeah, do you got to do trauma work and me and your ex-girlfriend have talked about you? Yeah, right and you told me to go Bobby's like dude. You can do it. It's me and your ex-girlfriend have talked about you. Yeah.

And you told me to go, Bobby's like, dude, you can do it, my therapist is $9,000 an hour. I can't do that. I was like, I can't do that. That's not what I said. It's not nine, that's gonna stop, okay? Whatever it was, I go, oh yeah, yeah, I'll do it. What I'm saying is that these things,

like these trauma responses that you do, like revenge fantasies or like making assumptions and creating all these storylines and stuff like that is super Unhealthy so the way you cope right, but there's other ways to do it So my point is is that I really think that you would help you right do you I agree ah? Okay, she's a fucking bully. Oh, no. I'm sorry cut that out. I'm self-awareness leave it leave it Hope you want to see the true, but maybe. So always do your best. Do you do that?

I always try, I guess. I don't know, but I always think it's not the best. Mm. Fuck you when you're mm. I know, because I was thinking about another quote. Here's another quote, right? Is, and I don't want to name it, but the guy that's, because if I say the guy that said it,

then everyone's gonna go Right But I like the quote. Okay, and he said um 80 to 90 percent of life is just showing up Steve Harvey No, I would say Steve Harvey's name Why would I not say who is it then? Oh, okay. Okay. So I think that's true 89. I think Here like can I I don't want to speak on your behalf. No, no, go ahead. Okay.

Because I've thought about this a lot. I think a lot of you and I specifically, our success is just, we just chose to do one thing, and we did the bare minimum, which is go up, right? And a lot. Yeah, and that's one thing I could do. minimum, which is go up. Every night. A lot. Yeah, and that's one thing I could do.

Yeah, I can go up a lot. All the time, yeah. Like I have one tonight, you know what I mean? I had one last night, two Saturday. I constantly go up. It's the only thing that I've done. Right. Everything else is just like a struggle.

Same. Yeah. A lot of my anxiety right now is because I have to do a special. So I'm like trying to like, this chunk, this chunk, and working. It's causing me so much anxiety. So I had the same thing, dude.

I should have put something out years ago. Have you, I've never have? No. Yeah. And let me say something. You should do it now because. Because then you get sick of it. And then what happens is when you're sick

of telling something. You can't do, there's no. You can't fake it. You can't, when the audience will smell it, they just know that you get sick of it and what happens is when you're sick of telling something you can't do there's no Fake it you can't what yeah audience will smell it. They just that's what I'm not in it There was a couple of older jokes, right? It's and I kind of bail on them. I got this they don't work anymore Yeah, my notebook joke my Titanic joke That's how far back I'm going. Yeah Yeah, yeah, I was trying to rework really old shit. Oh, wow. Yeah, yeah. Because I'm trying to-

It's like all my OJ Simpson material. It's just not working. It's not working. It's not working. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But anyways, so I think that a lot of our thing is just showing up. Yeah. And I can do that.

Like, if you tell me what to do, like, I'll go and do that every day, you know? Yeah, yeah. But then, like, for us, I don't know, I'm speaking for myself and this may be you too, but if I don't have a structure or somebody, you know, like that's why Mad TV was great because like, oh, I go there, I do this, I show up at this time, and then I felt like I was always doing something.

You know what I mean? But if it's up to me, I'm gonna go fuck off and go fishing or something or like, or spend some other thing, like, you know, like getting into something else and just wasting my time with that. As opposed to like going and doing like what Adam Ray does is doing all the work.

Yeah, he's, him and also Jeremiah Watkins is very, the same kind of thing of a go-getter. He's constantly on the move. He got his camera with him all the time. He's filming shit, he's putting clips out. Yeah, yeah, he's doing everything. And I watch him from afar like, what's he doing? You know what I mean?

I don't do that. Yeah. I think it has to do with though, I think you and I have similar dads. Oh, 100%. Yeah, yeah. Your dad was a, he's still alive, right? He's still alive, yeah.

When's the last time you saw him? A few months ago. Yeah, a month and a half, a few months. He lives in Iran. But anyway, my dad comes every now and then. And then when he comes, what time you saw him? A few months ago. Maybe a month and a half, a few months. He lives in... He lives in Iran. But anyway, my dad comes every now and then. And then when he comes, what do you guys do? I see him once, the three months he's here. And is there a hug that occurs?

Yeah. Like, you guys are... Kiss on the cheek? No, I mean, yeah, maybe. But we're not very... Come here, come here. But it's like a bullshit thing. You make a kiss on the cheek, I hear.

All the traumas, how are they happening? I think he feels sorry. Sounds good. I think you feel sorry for all the stuff back there. Sorry for beating you so much. He's not your dad Yeah, you are I think every accent Bobby doesn't turns into an Asian accent I'm in Paris my friend. No, it's like these It's like this man. I tell some stories about him recently that I've been really excited about telling and they're really fun to do. What do you mean? Just like talking about him.

Like him coming to a show cause he doesn't like put up with joking when people like try to joke with him and a comic try to do crowd work with him. Oh my god. Yeah and he's in the front with my brother and my brother's friend. Yeah.

And the guy gets to my dad, he's like hey look at this, and my dad just goes, just go to the next guy. Oh my God. Oh my God. Really? Yeah. That's so funny.

It's so funny. I was just like, bid on working out that it's so funny, because of what he did in the comic. Yeah. It's very funny. I have a photo, I think it's on my early Instagram, where I played Huckleberry Finn in a play.

It's my dad watching, and he's fully asleep. You could just get my dad completely asleep like that. Cause they're immigrants, they don't know. They don't know, do my dad, I was just doing the Hollywood improv, I'll headline there every now and then, just do my hour in town. And I'm doing it, and he was in town,

Two seats are empty. Your dad's seat. They never came? He came like after 20, 30 minutes and I'm like, even to this day, it's like all those times, you know, like he never came to a wrestling thing or whatever, like whatever. And you're just like, fuck, and it's still bothering me.

In my 40s, dude, I'm like, look, and I'm just like, fuck, and I'm in the back and I'm going like, you know, Marcelo's with me and he's like, dude, don't worry about that.

He goes, don't put this, don't have this. He's just so smart. I don't know that shit. He's like younger, he gets it. I love him. So anyway, so your dad eventually showed up? He eventually showed up. He saw your set?

Yeah. You know, he was cool, but it was just like that whole thing. Like he doesn't give a fuck. It's like, and I'm sitting there like worrying about, you know, it's just, whatever, I don't know. Kind of shit bothers you still. Yeah, you know, my dad, there was a sense of, he doesn't even know what it is.

Yeah. So I remember playing the Phoenix Live, the first time I played it when my dad was still alive and he was in the green room and he's going What what what gonna happen? I? Go, what do you mean? Why are the people here? Yeah? Like they're here to see me why? Like that's how little he knows yeah, how well how do work? Yeah, but how does it work right?

Let's have a drink upstairs.

Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. He doesn't know anything. He's an immigrant, we're immigrants, I was born in Iran. So he always has this like thing that like, no, it's not for us, it's for those guys. Here's, you know what I don't like about my dad?

And my mom too, back in the day, is this whole model minority bullshit. You know what I mean? They made it seem like we're lucky to be here. When white men say hi, you say hi. You know what I mean? And as a kid I was like, oh so they're the boss? Yeah.

Yeah, I want you you know I think I want all of us in this room to call our parents in the next week and tell them that we love them. Okay.

And I learned something new today. Can I be honest with you guys? And I think I've been a little affected by it, this episode, where I kind of looked outside myself and I thought, people are intimidated by me. That's something that I never really even considered really. And I don't, I think it's you. I'm with you, Bob.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't know, wait, I think it's us. I think it's us. I'm your pushy guy. Yeah, because I'm just being me. All right. I agree, I agree. Right, and you guys are in your, you know what I mean? But do you get intimate, you get intimate

around some people at the store. So I get around Bill Burr, like last week, you know what I mean, I had to do, did I tell you the game I played last week? I played the Michael Bay Bounce Around game. What's that? So Michael Bay showed up, right? And I don't like talking to him, like for a long time. So I go, come here, Andrew.

And I pawned Michael Bay off to Andrew Santino. That's hilarious. And then I walk away, and then I can see Andrew go, come back, right? So then I got Bill Burr, right? So Michael Bay is one, Bill Burr is one, and when I'm in a situation, when I'm with people that I have, because I feel the same way

about those people, you know what I mean? I try to get in and out. But at the end of the day, maybe I'm gonna change and go, they're just people just being themselves. And all that stuff is in my head about how I feel about them or in terms of status or whatever. It's just like, I think that they're just surviving. I thought, you know, I had a lot of empathy for Bill

with that whole Billy Corrigan, Howie Mandel, Howie Mandel, what is fucking going on? Yeah, what was that whole thing? Yeah, I thought it was fake. It was fake, right? It's not fake. I thought that was a bit. So he was actually pissed? That's a real thing, that's his brother.

I'm gonna throw out a theory. I think it's, dude, Howie's always doing bits. It's bits, right? He's always doing bits. Like when Dana White walked out on his podcast, that was a bit and everyone thought it was real. But Bobby did point something out when Howie came on last time.

Matan has changed Howie. Thank you, Gilbert. That's what it is. So here's my theory, okay? The kid that talks like this? Yeah. That kid changed Howie for real? Yeah, that kid.

That kid, what is that kid? I don't know. And we're trying to figure that out. He, that kid. That kid's, what is that kid? I don't know. And we're trying to figure that out. He's a troll. So here's the thing. When I saw the video where Howie, you know what I mean, confronts Bill Burr, brings Billy Corrigan on, and it was a complete sabotage, okay?

And I feel somewhat at fault here. I'm gonna tell you my theory, okay? I run into Metan a year ago on Sunset. I'd seen him on YouTube and he was sweet kid. He said, how do I do podcasting with you guys? And I go, oh, just you'll get there. But then one day I was talking to Andrew and I go, let's bring him in.

And we brought him in and it was wild. Bring him a ton in. And then he did, Whitney did his because he did, you know, I feel like he entered our world because of my ecosystem because of me, right? And then the next thing I know, I'm at the Laugh Factory, right, and I see Howie and Matan together. Kissing.

Almost, I mean they're giggling. They're giggling like school kids. And I was shocked, I'm like, what the fuck is this? At the Laugh Factory, upstairs? Yeah, apparently Matan went up to Arsenio Hall and said something very racist, I don't know what it was. Like, are you black? Oh yeah, he asked them, are you black?

Yeah, are you black, you know what I mean and also I get the fuck out of here, right? And so I called Mike binder that night and I go What the fuck wait how he meant del's hanging out with Motton and Mike binder who's been around since the 70s said this He goes. Oh You don't know this he goes oh you don't know they're the same guy I go what do you mean he goes when how he first moved here from Canada he was that he was a troll oh right and he was just like my time cause a controversy and you mean you know mean and just playing tricks yeah you know mean and like you know mean kind of

crossing these social lines you know I mean right? And like, you know what I mean? Kind of crossing these social lines, you know what I mean? And then as soon as Matan met Howie, met Matan, it rekindled that aspect of Howie. So that when Howie did our, and he went upstairs with the camera and woke me up in my own room, like this right here, right? He went upstairs into my room, dude.

Oh, so he's doing Matan again. Now he's being... Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm like, get the fuck out of my house, dude. You know what I mean? Yeah, anyway, so... So yeah, that pissed me off. And then when I saw him and Bill do that, so I think it's very much real.

Oh, so now he's just creating all these things. I mean, they look a lot alike, but I thought this was... No, no, no, so Billy Corgan. I mean, they look a lot alike, but I thought this was... No, no, no, so Billy Corgan... I mean, and we've done some research, so Billy Corgan... I don't even know if I should be talking about it, but should we or I don't know?

I mean, it's public, so what can you share? What can I say is, so Billy Corgan had a theory, you know what I mean, that his mom said, did you know Bill Burr? This is 10 years ago. And Billy Corgan goes, I don't know who he is. I don't know who, you know, he's like, he's a comedian. And his mom said, Bill Burr might be one of your dad's
