It's vegan leather. Whatever, I don't know what. It's plastic then. Right, is that what it is? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, they should just say that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh my God, you got a girl feeling like,

oh, I'm wearing vegan leather. Yeah, yeah. That's vegetable skin. And then your pants, where are they from? These are, this skirt is from Acne Studios. Yeah, this one's Nordstrom, keeping the tag on, because I'm returning it after. You really? Why?

Yes, because it's just like to give this, give it a fresh look. Oh, right. For the podcast. For a podcast. Yeah, for you. Yeah. A good look, sweetie. I know, I like it, I like it, I like it.

Thank you, thank you. What's up? There she is. Hi. Wow. The queen. You guys already know each other, right? Yes. You've guys done Trash Tuesdays together? We've chatted way more than I've got to chat with you in my life.

What are you talking about? We're chats free all the time. I don't care. I know, but because we've done two episodes of podcasts, that's two hours. And also, she did what you refused to do, which is she performed in the Philippines to obviously a sellout crowd who loved her. So we're very connected in that way. Also I won't sell tickets like her. Yes you will.

No, I won't sell tickets like her. And that's your way of rubbing it in. No, that's not true. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She sold out Finland too probably. I can't fucking sell tickets there. I had to go there together. Peter has been asking him to come to the Philippines for a long time.

Peter Kim? Good try. Good try. He's a promoter now? You're like, he's Korean, thank you. No, no, no, there's a Peter in the Philippines. Probably a lot more Peters, but you know. What Peter is this Peter?

He's the Peter though. Peter Kim's the Peter. Around here it's Peter Kim or bust. But around in this household, no. So yes, I bet you you would, people will love you in Manila. They're so fun and goofy like you. Yeah, yeah. Well, could I say something to you, my friend? I'm a world traveler. Yeah, you are. And I've been there, okay, many, many times. And I liked it and I thought they were jolly

and very comfortable creatures. Yes. Comfortable creatures. Did you fit right in? Yeah, I fit, I'm comfortable, they're comfortable, and we're both creatures and we felt good in the pod. Together, two peas in a pod. Yeah.

Right, so, you know. Speaking of. Can I do a song first though? Oh yes, of course. If you want to hear the guitar. But you know what? You should bust it out as he's singing the song. Okay, yeah, sure.

Go ahead. Otsuko, if you want to hear this. Otsuko Okotsuka. Oh, right. I wrote this for you. Yes, sorry, yes, of course. She's ready now. Otsuko Okotsuka, her name.

That's her name. That's her name. Pointing fingers at somebody else is her game. Hell yeah. Do you know Filipinos? I don't think you do, but I do. He does, he does. Yeah. I know Kailala. And I'll use

your head, flip it over and boil an egg. Yes. Thank you, Gilbert. Thank you for responding to my... Would you ever get nails like Atsuko? Look at them. Look at them.

I mean... It's a hot dog. it's a hot dog. Yeah, yeah, that's really nice. But you know, I do metal work. You do? Yeah, yeah, and I you know, you know, I go to the trenches and I have to you know as a job. So your hands must stay clean. I build dams below and so it would probably get in the way, right? Me and Jaime do that as a living. Let's see these rough hands. He gets gel. Oh, you get the gel. With the chipped and stuff, yeah, yeah. Sure, because of all the hand work you do. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sure, yeah. Oh, you too. Yeah, yeah. Mine are natural.

Well, I'll tell you this too. Oh, so I'll probably do better hand work than you. I believe that. Oh, I believe that. Oh, yeah, that came out weird. It's not a weird. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I can barely type in these nails. So yeah, I believe you. Hey, hey, we believe that. Oh, it's just a competition? Yeah. That came out weird. Is that a weird?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I can barely type in these tails. So yeah, I believe you. Hey, hey, we believe you. You're the handyman. You're the handyman. All right. How about round of applause for Otsuko?

Thank you. She has a Netflix special and a Hulu one now, right? It's actually HBO. Oh, you have an HBO one? I've actually never been on Netflix, baby, but there we were at that Netflix is a joke fest party. Oh wait.

Jaime was there. How did that happen? Yeah, yeah, yeah. My best friend right there. Ralph, my brother. Your best friend. Oh yeah, nice. Are you in the photo, Jaime?

Yeah, it is multi-hyphenated. Did I have the what? The pig in the blankets? The pig in the blankets. Oh, I think I avoided those, but was it tasty? No, they were good. Those were good? See, here's the thing, Bobby.

But in my head, you are there. That's why I said that. It was not to... Well, they offered us, me and Andrew, a gig for the festival and we turned it down. Okay, see? And we were like, oh, I'm going to go to the festival. I'm going to go to the festival. I'm going to go to the festival.

I'm going to go to the festival. I'm going to go to the festival. I'm going to go to the festival. I it was not too well they offered us me and Andrew a gig for the festival we turned it down I see I think this is their way of going well then you don't get to come people be petty yeah people be petty we were being petty yeah yeah he's um are you hiding the beef because they're not sponsored by then I won't bring out the things I brought either because we're also not sponsored but they are gifts that I brought you do this at the Your Japanese, correct? I'm half. Yes. Yeah. Okay this let's get into it I love this. You know, I've seen you tell other people like oh, you don't know what Asian I am You don't know do you right? I've seen you do that

What are you accusing me of? I'm on your side. Okay, because the other people don't know what Asian you are. Whether it's Theo Vonn or... Well, he doesn't know what anything is. Chinese. He does know what Filipinos are. Let's make clear. He is Filipino.

He does, yeah, yeah. But, yeah, so you're half Japanese, half Chinese probably. Taiwan. Taiwanese. Same thing or no? Well, you know, we're trying to be like Taiwan strong. You know, we're our own be like Taiwan strong you know we're trying to be like we're our own thing. What's Jimmy? Jimmy O-Yang is Hong Kong like Cantonese. Right. See I do know all the Asians tell me ask me more. Ali Wong. She's Vietnamese and oh shoot Vietnamese and Chinese yes what about Nora

Sorry. That was intense. You won my, I'm very impressed by you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can't have that. Oh my gosh, this is a terrifying girl. I'm sorry.

No offense to her. It's something that Sarah Hyland gave me when we were dating. Oh. That's so great. It's so great. She would get a doll, go to the bottom of it. How much was that?

Oh, you keep the prices on. Yeah, yeah, yeah, how much was that? It's good, this is a good way to have something over people. Let me see this, what does it say? Okay, it's, ooh, four dollars. Yeah. This is what she said.

That was Christmas. And she didn't take it off, the price, and was like, here. No, we were at a thrift store, she goes, do you want this? Oh, yeah. Then she bought it, she goes, Merry Christmas. But anyway. Oh, memories.

Memories, yeah. I won't take that. Yeah, so were you want this? Then she bought it and she goes, Merry Christmas. But anyway, memories. I won't take that. Yeah. So, were you born here? I don't know why I don't know much about you. Oh my God. Because we've never gotten to chat. That's what I'm saying. Kalilah and I, we've had two whole hours. You? And we're chatting now. Hey, come back. Can you hear that? Can you hear that? Oh, sorry. Very nice. What?

Yeah. You're one of the pale Koreans too. I never see the sun. You see me? Oh my god. If you're doing an HBO, why are you doing this? Well, because HBO doesn't have as much of an international reach. You know, it doesn't mean like, so when you do an HBO stand-up show. So you did HBO first and now you're doing a Hulu. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hulu with Disney Plus, it's internationally, you know, you can watch it. Yeah. And I'm an international comedian in that, you know, yeah, people know me internationally so it

was very important for me to be able to do that. Yeah, yeah. What a great lineup though, killers on that. Yeah, on our lineup? Yeah. Yeah, our first year, Hulu, this is, this is our graduating class, what do do you think? Yeah I love it. Also on top of it it's like you know when Mateo Lane bro you're not Netflix you're not gonna give him whatever you want. Insane. It's insane he's a beast. Yeah for real. Everything's kind of like maybe you know everything you thought throw it away that's kind of yeah. But if you if took you, I think there would be a revolt. It would be international news.

I think me and Andrew would be there with our signs. Wow, that's very sweet. Yeah, yeah, and with our explosives as well. You know what I mean? Who knows? Oh my goodness, then you'll also be deported too. Yeah, I know. We're both in El Salvador.

That's kind of a really funny image though. You and Atsuko at Sea Cod. Yeah, we're both in El Salvador. That's kind of a really funny image though. You and Otzko at Seacot. Yeah. Oh, that'd be cool. Oh, and they say we're twins or something. Or we're both Bobbie Lee or something. By the way, I've been called that a lot. Really?

Yeah. Well, you know what I would do? I would smuggle in a Farrah Fawcett poster and also a little rock chipper, right? And then we could do a fucking Shawshank Redemption and get the fuck out of it. Oh my goodness, yes. What do you think?

Yeah? Like Andy Frayne. I would put like little pebbles inside my pants and walk out in the yard and do what he did. What would you do to get us out of there? Well during lunch I would be keeping the Ziploc bags, right? What Ziploc bags?

For what? For your Lunchables? What are you talking about? For our valuables that we're gonna swim with. Oh, you need that. Yeah, let's talk about what we need. We need a rope? We need a rope.

That's up to you to secure, okay? That's not an easy thing to conceal, rope. Well, no, what you do is... Up our butt, right? Right up your ass hole. Very good, yeah, yeah. So you can put half of it, yeah, yeah, yeah. So you can put half of it, I do the other half.

No, we all. You guys are butt to butt. Your butt to butt. Well, we're doing it together. Are we in it or not? We use the same, we are, no, we'll, I'll put jam whatever in my butt. Yeah.

The rock hammer's in my butt. We want to escape. Yeah, but I have the rock hammer, I've got all the pebbles and stuff like that, I have the ferrofossa photo. I got the fluff bath. That fills my butt. Yeah. You're busy. You like that. I have the Farrah Fawcett photo. I got the Zip-Lac bag. That fills my butt. Yeah. You're busy. You are packed.

I think more can fit. Let's add more. You think a Farrah Fawcett photo, a rock hammer, pebbles. More. You think I can put more in my butt? Absolutely. What else? She knows you better than I do. Yeah. What else do you think I can fit in my butt?

Your own fist. Well, a little bit of that rope. A little bit of the rope. Yeah, yeah. But then you get the rest. Plastic bags. I got the Ziploc bag for our phones. Yeah, and our clothes. We don't have phones, too. Can I present the problem?

That's how people TikToking out of prison. Oh, that's true. Oh, that's true. Hello. Hello. Have we forgotten about our influencers? I need to present the problem. The reason that Bobby cannot be an effective mule or carrier for anything is because he poos too many times in a day.

He's not a once a day guy. So for you to be like, okay, travel time is 24 hours. You cannot shit in this time. It's impossible for him. Hold on. So it's up to me? No, no. Because I get, you know. Can I tell you something right now? You're so silly right now. And you're foolish. Because, you know, I don't know if you know this and so silly right now. And you're foolish. Why?

Because, you know, I don't know if you know this and we've known each other for a very long time. You haven't shit in a while. I haven't shit in a while and also too, they call my little poo strands little Ethan hunts. So what's gonna happen is, my poo will be mission impossible. I'll have the stuff in my butthole,

but they'll tan tan tan tan around. Laser. Around all the things that are in my butt. They'll come out at the sides, trust me. I have communication with them. You hear that, you silly little girl? You silly little girl. You thought you knew.

You would have to repack the rope and repack the poster every time. Six times a day. Here's the thing though. But how about through the mouth? We forget there's another hole. Yeah, yeah. N times a day. But how about through the mouth? We forget there's another hole. Yeah, yeah. There's nose holes too.

You need to breathe. Yeah, okay. But also, I would be the lead in the shit river. Yeah, you would. Because they escape through a shit sewer. Yeah. Remember, it was a tube full of prison shit. Oh, we're still talking about Shawshank.

No, how are we going to escape ice? Right, when we get, yeah. You're there too? Yeah, I escaped the rain. You're the front then. Okay, all right. Because he'll, I- Do you have a slippery or, do you have like a, maybe.

Yeah, just put like oil on me. It's ejector. Yeah, yeah, of your head, your head's very tube-like. Yeah, just put like oil on me. It's the trajectory. Yeah, of your head. Your head's very tube-like. Yeah, my head's too flat at the top. We're going to shave your head. Okay.

Hell yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're going to shave your head for this. I love it. Yeah. And then... It'll still be... From the sun, I'll still have the shape of the bowl cut.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, because it never got sun. Anyway, go ahead. Yeah. You know, this is real. Thank you. Wait, what's... Oh no, I was like, and we'll throw it behind me. Okay, really quick, throw it behind me. Yeah, what's real? This is real.

This is real. That producer trying to make this show to compete for citizenship? Oh yeah, you know about that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's crazy, right? The government's trying to do that. You know that? I know this. Tell me more, Jaime.

Yeah, tell us more because we don't know much about politics. You know about it. I do, but I want to know if you know. It sounds like a reality show. Yeah. What company? DHS? Yeah, what a company DHS. Yeah. Yeah, so they want to do a competition show

that You know illegal people can do a competition to get a green card. That's so fuck. Okay Wow, yeah, but that's like the government doing it. Huh is it posing it I think okay, so it's like Let it look it up. Is it like it's called the celebration of being an American It's a show right? Yeah, it's not athletics or something? Look it up. It's called the celebration of being an American. It's a show, right? It's not just American Ninja Warrior. Isn't that already a show that exists? So is it going to be like a Squid Games and then you get citizenship at the end of it?

Yeah, and the rest of them dies. Let's elevate it. No, they're trying to compare it to the Hunger Games. Yeah. Oh my god. Because you're gamifying, yeah, you're gamifying immigration. Yeah, I mean, the world that we're going to live in in the next couple of years,

I don't know about it. I mean, I know George is all for it, but it's a, George is all for it. Yeah, but he's like, you know. I know, white. He's standard and white. Maybe he's safe. Maybe he's safe.

Maybe he's one of the prizes at the end you married George. Oh, that's not a prize! That's not a prize, lady! Hey, life is unfair and so are reality games. That's definitely a consequence. You think people... Yeah, that's definitely not a good thing. You think all people love the prizes they win after every reality show?

That's true. All right, a new car! Da-da-da! That's good. George Kimmel! Yeah! No right. A new car. That's good. George Camel. No cheers. Oh my gosh. You just hear somebody like, you know.

Crying? Crying, yeah. Oh my gosh. I mean blowing you as a prize. Blowing Trump as a prize, I think. There's no blowing. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm extent.

I thought I was a producer on the show. This is how we find out Bobby's like definition of marriage is like, well, you got to blow them every day. And so that's commitment. Well, I can't come through that. And that's an honest truth. You can't come through that. My Bells Palsy glitched so hard.

My face went back to paralysis. From remembering that. From remembering, I was like, oh no. Come back. We have no skills. I've just never been, and I love when women go, oh I'm the best. And then 30 minutes in, you know what I mean, they have like arthritis with the face, you know what I mean, locked jaw and they're like, I can't do it. Yeah, yeah. Anyway, yeah. I'm complex. That's marriage. Yeah, yeah. That's marriage. That's marriage. That's such a young girl's game to say,

I'm the best, I can get you there. Oh, why would you even try? I know, but I've had four women say that, oh, you don't know. And then they do it, I'm like, do you know now? Yeah. Dang. And they go, I guess I do know.

You do the same speech, you're like, oh, you silly little girl. Yeah, you silly little girl. I thought you had me. Yeah, yeah. You don't know the thing. This is some like, oh you silly little girl.

It's pretty good. Yeah, but Singapore, Malaysia, those two, it's just elite. Okay, so, elite, we all got elite? Elite. Go ahead. He's Malaysian, but he was able to go to school in Singapore. That's, yeah. He knows two languages, or probably three even.

They see an Asian woman and think that is top tier. Their own kind is top tier. Okay. You guys have a self-hatred so you think like white woman is like...

So I'm gonna go Jimmy Oh Yang working class. Oh, based on that? I think based on that maybe, is that possible? I only base it off of do they look like they were loved a lot. That is true.

I'm basing it off. I'll tell you why by the way. These are all our friends and we Time good time that's out of your mouth But my point is is that I also what I have a point of view too is is that I'll tell you what Jimmy's elite

All right, this next comic allegedly was got into a fistfight with Bobby Lee in San Francisco. This is Ken Jeong. Go ahead. I have my answer. I think elite. Right? I mean, doctor. Yeah, I'm just gonna think that means maybe. Working class. Oh, is that right?

Yeah. Oh, okay. He's a smart one. But how did he, he was able to afford like med school and stuff? He's a hard worker, but I just know his sensibilities in terms of comedy. And he, he's worked. Okay, close your eyes. Everyone close your eyes. I only can close one. Balls. sensibilities in terms of comedy and he's worked. Okay, close your eyes. Everyone close your eyes.

Catching frogs specifically. Like the fidgets with the frogs. Five in the morning, he wakes up and catches the frogs.

I'm not sure. I know her mom owns a restaurant or something like that, but I don't know. Should we call her? I'm just kidding. I don't know. Yeah. Why do you say elite, Bobby? Who is she?

She's a standup and she also is a comedic actress. She's now a part of that group. I love Sherry. Sherry's the best. We've had her on this podcast. She's family to me. Yeah, yeah. She's family to you. And I don't want to mention why I think that she's elite. I don't want to cut it out. You wanted to play this game.

I know, I know. My answer is still elite. Okay. Yeah, I don't have to have an answer. Russell Peters. Working class. Yeah, okay. I know the I know. My answer is still elite. Okay. Yeah, I don't have to have an answer. Russell Peters. Working class. Yeah, okay. I know the least about him. Working class. Move on. Aziz Ansari.

Elite. Elite. Okay. Yeah. Last one. And the last one is Ali Wong. That's a tough one. I'm saying working class. Oh, really? I wouldn't have guessed I would say elite. No. Just because. But you've known her right? I've known her for years and she is.

Are you okay? Come back. No, no. Bell pulses. The balls. No, I'm getting emotional almost. I'm getting emotional almost. She's down. Yeah. And she will, she's somebody that will, you know, go down punching with you. Oh, yeah. And that, my friend, is working class.

Oh, that's incredible. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I believe that about Allie. And I didn't for many years. But now I have a completely different, you know what I mean? I think she's just so fucking cool. And she is so funny, so cool. And to me, Aquafina we didn't say.

Working class. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, working class, yeah, yeah. Dumbfounded. Working, even not even homeless. Yeah, yeah, he's not even working. Yeah, yeah, he's homeless class. He lives homeless. Yeah, yeah, they're not even, he's not even working. Yeah, yeah, he's homeless class. He lives outside? Yeah, yeah.

Well, that's why he's always roaming in Koreatown. Roaming. Yeah, roaming. Caniving. Yeah, yeah, wherever. Oh! Yeah, yeah, sneaky. Yeah, yeah.

He could look like he just lives at the bars or something. Exactly, right, right. Yeah, yeah, he is definitely homeless. You know what I mean? But he's got talent. He's with the people, that's the people's. But with working class, it has yeah, he is definitely homeless. You know what I mean? But he's got talent. He's with the people, that's the people's. But with working class, it has nothing to do with your talent.

I think that you're both groups, two groups of people that have something in their, either they can walk through fear easy, because this is not an easy job that we do. It's a very fucking brutal and depressing, especially the entry of it all. Like what was it like when the beginning for you? Oh my gosh.

You started in LA? I started in LA, yeah. Wow. The open mics? Yeah, I actually took a class in comedy because I didn't, I was like. Who was the teacher? Lisa Sunstead.

It was like all female comedy class. Because I know myself, yeah, you know her. Yeah, you're like, we're gonna have to cut this part. No, no, no, I don't wanna cut it up, I do love her. Lisa, she's a sober person. Yes, yeah, also, yeah. Yeah, but she also one time really did something.

Not because of her specifically, but there was a situation and I've let it go and I do love her. And that's all I wanna say about that. Hey, you've been- Why do you laugh? You've seen it all. I wanna hear the story.

I think this is a story I haven't heard yet. Oh, you've heard it. This is a legendary story that she's sort of a part of it, but I don't think she's privy to it, but since she's involved, I can't separate the resentment. You know? Yeah. No, that makes sense. This is working class thoughts. Working class thoughts. You hear, yeah. No, that makes sense.

Working class thoughts. Working class thoughts. You hear me? In the salt mine. Oh, that might be it. I think that's what it is. Working class has resentment. Yeah, that's what it is.

Yeah, that's what it is. And then the elite have like, can't be bothered. They're already just. Yeah, yeah. I can have it all. I can walk through it all. Yeah. Unbothered.

I'm trying to become elite, to be honest. Yeah, but that's why you'll always be working class. Look at all the drinks you're surrounded by. Oh, that's elite. Bobby, I just read this thing that like all your Red Bull and all of that can cause blood cancers. Woo! Drinks two a day.

Yeah, yeah. Blood cancers? Blood cancer. Okay. Oh, dang. That one sounds general. What are you doing right now? Blood cancer sounds general. That's insane.

I'm just trying to warn a friend, a loved one. Okay, God. She's the, her thing is like the warning person and your thing is like, how far can we push the limit? And then I'm kind of in the middle like, oh, I'll do a little bit of both. Yeah. But you guys are kind of cool in that

you look very like quaffed and put together and Bobby kind of looks more disheveled, but you're very similar in cool in that you look very like quaffed and put together and Bobby kind of looks more Disheveled but you're very similar in that you don't really know how to read so deadpan when you say that Bobby's just kind of disheveled, but you know, but what's great about you is You're both you both don't know how to like adult very well, right? Oh, no No, what does that don't mean like we're babies. Yeah, big babies Oh no, no. What does adult mean? Like we're babies, right? Yeah. We're big babies.

We're babies. Oh yeah, I'm a baby. Yeah. Babies think I'm one of them. Yeah. Because of my hair. Yeah. There's a confusion about you, I think.

Yeah, oh yeah. At the Hulu party downstairs in the basement, I looked at you from across the party. Yeah. And there was a confused look on your face. You were like, this bitch does not know what to do. You literally did five circles. Like, looking for, I don't know what you were doing.

Exactly. But I was sitting there with Frankie Cuniones and we're just sitting there, I go, look at her. She's doing five circles for no reason. I will, oh my gosh. That's why I needed to take a stand up class because I'm someone who will go to an open mic and go missing.

Never be seen again. I at least knew that about myself. I will, oh my gosh, just not too long ago, I was going to the Westside Comedy Club. You have to pass alleys to go there in Santa Monica. In the dark, some man just goes, hey. And I go, hi. I go and hug him.

I look up and he's like, hello! I was like, oh, I don't know you. Oh, you're my captor. Yeah. Oh, I didn't know. I mean, you must... So I ran. I was like, I'm so sorry. I thought you were like a comedian I knew.

It was just the man who said hi. I'll just hug anyone. Why? Because... That's dangerous. I want everyone to feel seen, right? Oh. I have an issue.

Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I don't, you know. Right, so that's why I took a class where it's all women, you know, weekly, we're meeting at a house, the teacher's house. Do you still talk to Lisa?

I, we just recently reconnected, yes. In what way? In that, like, she texted and called, and I go, hello. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Is she going like, can you, because if I was a comedy teacher, Yes.

Right, and you took my class, you'd be at all my flyers. Yes, so she's, yeah, like, hey, do you wanna do my show? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And did you say yes or no? I haven't said yes. You're not gonna say yes? Bobby. She don't say yes.

She's a leadess. A leadess. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She don't say yes! She's a leadess! She don't say yes! Oh no, no, I said, I did say yes to one of them. I'm actually waiting for like the details on that or something like that. Yeah, working. Working, yeah? For sure, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think, yeah, I'm for sure.

Cheerleading is like, you should have seen our squad. Some people go, oh, you're cheerleader. That means like you were a jock. No, I went to Venice High School where the girls on my squad were like, if everyone for cheer,

I would have joined a gang. Like that was the kind of girls. Venice High School were the Crips, you know. We were blue for the Crips, the Bloods were the Culver City High School Wow and like the are working class. We were girls cool, too Yeah, yeah. Yeah, mostly Wow, right, you know the deal we weren't even allowed to wear Just straight colored blue or red to school. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, it wasn't allowed you would get sent home or like asked to change

It was tough because our colors were blue and white you would get sent home or like asked to change. It was tough because our colors were blue and white. So we were like, okay, so we're just targets out there. The thing is just be like, go gondos. We, you know, honestly, the squad was, we were like very self-taught. So it was like, I made it because I could do a no-handed cartwheel the amount of times I had to do that.

No-handed cartwheel. You jump in there really high. That's a flip. Ariel. it's so much Wow Ariel Ariel it's an aerial Wow an athlete right here behind the scenes his body's getting bloaty you know that they're right I know yeah it's misshapen bloaty and I love it anyone has anybody ever told you if it's a wig or not if it's misshapen, bloaty, and I love it. I'm all for it. Has anyone, has anybody ever told you if it's a wig or not? If it's a wig?

Yeah. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, once in a while, you know, when I do get a trolling comment, it is like, you know, yeah, it's about my hair. Yeah, yeah, like, is it a boy or a girl? Yeah. I get that a lot from mostly like straight guys.

Is it a boy or a girl? Cause girl, long hair, boy, short hair. And don't you get near my butt. You know what I mean? It's the same thing. It's the same fear, right? Same fear. Why do I like this?

Why do I like Bobby? Why do I like Bobby with a bob? Yeah, yeah, wow. Yeah, that's funny. How close are you becoming a paid regular at the Comedy Store? Oh, you know, I haven't, I never did the passing of the clubs thing or like, yeah.

Because again, I knew, you know, I went to hang out at the club a little bit in the past. And you know, I was like, I'm gonna go missing. I'm gonna go missing. Why don't you, it's interesting because it's like, you've had your, is the Hulu one out yet? It's out, it depends when this is out. We're gonna put it, I think just right after it's out

or right before. Okay. Whatever your PR is. So you have two specials, one for HBO, now you have a Hulu special. Right, right. Right there, right? And my thing is is that, how are you not passed at all the clubs in LA? I mean, you've accomplished more than most people.

Well, here's the thing, Bobby. Here's the thing, Bobby. What I'm saying? Here's the thing, Bobby. Let me tell you something. Yes. So, the thing is like, right, people like us, just weirdos, you know, of different places

that you come from. You have to sometimes like make your own journey. The things that the institutions made, these rules don't necessarily mean. Fuck yeah dawg. You had to do what the institutions made you do, right? The first, it was always hard for the first of our people, you, Margaret, right?

And you know, you guys did that so that maybe we didn't have to. Right. We're like, we don't have to listen to one person at a comedy club who decides for all one person's taste. How do they know what's good? Right. The people speak, the people know what's good. The people showed you when you did your podcast, they said, we love you.

We love you. I love this take but Bobby How do you feel about comics not giving a fuck about whether or not they get passed because it's like that's not important That's one person's I think I think we like subjective idea of me. Like that's not important And I do and I do respect the tradition too. I feel about it. I respect the tradition too. Both of you are not getting what I'm saying. Okay, yes. Okay, I mean what I'm saying. Come back, come back.

Everyone in the fucking room is, I want the store to succeed. I want them to succeed too. I think the lineups can be a little different, right? I'm trying to get people that are actually doing stuff in the business and have a gigantic audience to come back to the store. My question isn't about whatever you guys think I'm asking.

You know what I mean? It's specifically only the Comedy Store because I care about the club so much. And I believe that we could reach even more people by having other acts come in that have an actual fucking audience. You know, a lot of the comedy comics at the comedy store are homegrown people. One reason or another, they never were able to gain a big audience.

And I think that, you know, sometimes when I'm on a lineup, I'm the one that's carrying the whole show. And there's a part of me that's like, I would love you to be a part of the lineup so I don't feel the burden of you know I mean the show is what I'm saying. For sure. It's not a survival. You mean I helped get Frankie, you know, just get past. He got past. Nick Thune got past recently so you know I'm trying to get people in you know what I mean so that we could I don't have to feel the burden of it all. That makes sense. you No, and I and I love the store. I love the store I feel like the audience is there are true comedy lovers to the bookers the most recent booker

I think she's no longer there, but she did a great job. I felt like she was having me a lot and You know, she loved to like the weirdos and people, just let's get different kinds of people at the store. Mitzi would have not only loved you, you would be her top person if she was alive. You're exactly what she wants. Oh yeah, I just didn't know how to get in front of them. She died.

That's why. So I guess in a way, I know that. Okay, thank God. But, I guess in a way... I know that. Okay, thank God. But Friedman, I don't run into him. No, we know she died. And R.I.P. But in a way, in a poetic way, aren't I just then always performing for her?

Wow! Bye! I go now. I'll see myself out. Her relationship with Tamayo Atsuko was so deep. You know what I mean? You're the cat eater. We don't know that. I'm still in the middle of doing a documentary. Is that right?

Ooh, I don't know about the cat. Okay. You're eating the cats, you're eating the dogs. Do you know who Tam who to my oh is I do he's a he right? It's a woman Oh, no, no, no, there was another Japanese comedian back in the day. I feel like but no, okay Don't my oh was huge at the Comedy Store. Okay. She's to date Sam Kinnison. She was she would walk on stage with a kimono Okay, she did sitcom. She was a Japanese, you know, you should know who she is because she was your, she paved the way I guess maybe. Right, wow, yeah.

But she, Mitzi loved, because the Shores are obsessed with Asians, I don't know if you know this. I do know this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're fully obsessed with them. So it's like, and yeah, you are exactly what- Oh, look at her. Pretty. So fun.

She was like, I need you because Tamayo's gone and I need to fill that space. Oh, so she was like tokenizing Asians. She was, but who cares? She tokenized me and she thought I was Johnny Yoon. All right, I'm Johnny Yoon. I don't give a fuck. Right, right, because then you would still get up.

Yeah, I would go up. I'm all about survival. Yeah. The intention, I don't care. Is that bad? Is that a bad way to live? No. No. No.

Is that a bad way to live? No. All right. Are you not a survivor? You're not a survivor? No, I am. That's why I went to look for different avenues. Exactly. I said, okay, well, if I I'm gonna get kidnapped at the store because I'm still here at 2 a.m. Then you know I'll start looking for maybe I'll do the bar shows you know that's why I did it that way right right right and

Yeah, but I love the store, and I am performing there though. You know so but through like the bringer rooms and stuff Yeah, I got permanent shows. I got independently produced. Well, I have a show for you. Mm-hmm and It's not this Friday But the following Friday the Comedy Store gave me the OR on a Friday night. Oh fun. Yes the early show So I'm gonna do leachy fruit comedy. Why leachy? For real? I wanted to find something cute that was Asiany but not All right, you're like lychee fruit, I mean if you already put it on the website No, I could change it on the website. Let's change it. Okay. Okay. It's a it's but I want to cute Okay, cute right and you know think milk tea. Oh

No, but what's a specific Asian thing that's cute? Los Angeles liquor store comedy. Los Angeles liquor store, oh. But does it have to be? It's too. It's too. Yeah. I get what you're thinking. You know, 92 riots. I think that you should do this. I think you should take the Roy Choi approach and not use a word that is related to an Asian show. Just do like best friend or something like that. No. Something really. Because I don't want them to go,

well can you have this white guy out? No, I want it specifically Asian. So people know that it's like. After a while they'll know that's the show. They wouldn't do that, would they? They wouldn't do that. What do you mean? Like oh, can you just put Dane Cook on or whatever.

I know, but for me it's like, okay, but for me. Sorry, I'm just naming why I also happen at Laugh With Asians. Oh yeah, that's what I'm saying. Really? That's what I'm saying. So what I want to do is have a title. But that's Laugh Factory.

I want to have a title to know, right, that it's like this is... Don't Ask. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? Because if I have my own show... Oh, Don't Ask. Yeah. Don't Ask.

At like eight years old, I was already my height now. So the three of us walking down the street, we were like, we looked insane. They were like, are they sisters?

I would put this haircut on the baby too. So then no father, and then what happened? And then my father and I reconnected, you know, seven years after I moved here. Yeah. Wow. Because of the, you know, if you come to America without papers, you can't leave if you want to come back.

So my dad stayed in Japan. He didn't know that I was going to be, kind of going to, kind of going to be taken here. That I was going to stay here. I also didn't know too, so. So how old were you, how old were you? What were you guys talking about? How old were you? Mother? I was gonna stay here. I also didn't know too. So how old were you? How old were you?

by the time I met him, I was like 17. They have swords? He, I wish, something fun. You know, he actually, when I finally met up with him when I was 18, actually, I went to Indonesia to meet him where he was living at that time. And we, yeah, why?

Where's Indonesia? Where's Indonesia? We're next to Southeast Asia. Where Bali is. Bali, Jakarta. It's nice, right, beaches. Yeah, there's beaches, that's how I pictured it. Like 13,000 islands. Oh, I wanna go. The big archipelago. I Beaches. Yeah, there's beaches. That's how I pictured a beach. Like 13,000 islands.

Oh, I wanna go. The big archipelago. I love it. Yeah, you need a gold layout. Better than the Philippines? It might be, yeah. Oh my God, I wanna go. Indonesia probably rivals the Philippines

in terms of beaches. Probably even not as bleached out corals and stuff. Okay. How'd you know I was going to Nora's birthday party? Because I saw on the RZF VP. The RZF VP said, Bobby Lee. I said, I mean unless there's another one. Uh-huh. Good. You know, I just assumed So you you met him at 17 and um, you went to indonesia. Yeah, and you went was there a hug? Uh, there was no hug. I was we were very like nervous. It's like meeting a stranger again, you know

Right and we were also sad that we were separated It was like meeting a stranger again, you know? And we were also sad that we were separated. So we just didn't really talk. And then he was like, I have a whole itinerary planned out. He had so much planned out, including the water park. He said, we'll go to the water park on Wednesday. I said, oh my goodness. I didn't want to tell him I couldn't swim.

You know what I mean? You don't know how to swim? I was like, oh shit, this bitch does not know me. Right. Wow. We do not know each other. Wow. Did you go to the water park?

I did because he was so excited about making up for lost time. Right? But did you get along as time went on or what was going on there? We did. The water park went kind of awry. I ended up hurt because you know. Oh no. Everything is like anything goes there.

Yeah. It's not like, you know, there's- It's not tested. It's not tested, it's just people bringing floaties and boats to a, literally we pulled up, because it's Indonesia, the water park is just the ocean. Wow, wow, wow, wow. I was like, this is the ocean, dad. He said, yes, yes, water park.

Water park, see? So it's like aunties and uncles who brought, who bought like devices and stuff and they kind of put you around and spin you around and that's the waterpark. Yeah, so I got hurt and after that we had to slow down our row and then finally over alcohol, we got to know each other.

Oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then now he's a part of your life? Yes, we're very close now. Oh, I love it, I love it, I love it. That a part of your life. Yes. We're very close now That's why I go to Asia a lot whenever I can and then I learned these you know my cultures again I go okay. I get gifts for people All about matcha. It's like it's like I'm like, you know, like a white guy, right? I'm so into Japanese I love it. Yeah, yeah me too. Even in America, it's like, you know, the Sherman Oaks Mall.

There's a lot of like Asian stores now there and the white people are in there. They love the like. They idolize us now. Yeah, isn't that strange? There's an idolization going on. For us, it's a little bit tricky. There still are a lot of like self-hating Filipinos

who don't wanna admit they're Filipino, I think. But like you guys are like. So the next time we. Taiwanese, Japanese, Koreans, like you guys are like. So the next time we. Taiwanese, Japanese, Koreans like you guys are like. Would you go to the Renaissance Fair with us next year? Sure yeah. As what character? You look at me and then you slowly drifted to her so was that the invite? Yeah you too. I don't think you'll go that's the thing. I'll absolutely go. So you do Renaissance Fair? I did twice this year. Okay so that's doing their culture. Yeah but we drove you know how we dress right? What do you dress like? I'm gonna show you it has to be accurate to his

I think so. Okay, you can't find this in America. Oh, no, so we got this in Arcadia. Yeah, so you can yeah There's also another this is us at the Renaissance fair. Come on. Yeah, okay Okay. Oh, yes. Yeah. Yeah, where did you buy this? Where did you buy these clothes? We rented it. There it is. We rented it at a Korean store in Koreatown that Dom founded, hooked us up with. Incredible. And this is high-end shit. I mean, we, you know, we slurred. This is like you're attending a wedding. Yeah, yeah.

And we walked around like that. You look like a pilgrim. You look like a pilgrim and a Korean father. Yeah. Wow. And people, you know, we did the accents. We told them that our boat crashed and we ended up in this European city. And we really committed to our roles.

But I think that if we went with a horde of Asians, think about it, like 20 Asians dressed like that. Okay, yeah, and we have to choose one theme because Andrea is not Korean, but you made her be Korean too. Yeah, well, and we have to choose one theme because Andrea is not Korean, but you made her be Korean too. Yeah, yeah, well, I mean... So, are we all Korean in this?

Do you think I would get in trouble? No! No, no, no. You can't, so I think the rule is this, with what you can dress as. If your people have hurt them, you can't dress as them. Oh, that's interesting. Right. And the Japanese, so we cannot dress as a lot of things.

Right, yeah, yeah. But our own and white people. You can dress Japanese. Huh? You can dress Japanese, we can be Korean. Okay, so I'll just be in the background. I'll be like, I also watched a show with these Koreans. No, no, no.

But also logically, like in that era of clothing, there wasn't oppression by then. Okay. It was pre-oppression. Hey, I'm glad you said it. Yeah, yeah, it was pre-oppression hey I'm glad you said yeah yeah yeah so you're dressing Korean okay well as long as you quote yourself yeah would you dress Korean or just go naked like the Filipinos did back then? Hey just go Filipinos, go proud. No no we'll go hard but what era of Philippines do you want to dress as Gil? Do you want to do like the filipiniana stuff? Give me a historic filipino outfit. Listen, listen. There's two. We either go Spanish influenced, which is like already fully clothed,

or we go fully like indigenous. When you were free. Which is like, you know, with a, you know, the... Can we just all dress with one type of clothing? But well, I know, it feels weird dressing Korean. He wants all of us to be Korean. Just everyone wear Abercrombie. Why, because you have a hookup at the Korean store?

No, some black guy was dressed as Ken from Street Fighter. Like who gives a fuck? At the Renaissance. At the Renaissance. Bobby, this is the rule. Black people can dress as anything. Oh, okay, yeah, yeah. Right?

Okay. We have to go sideways. Yeah, so Albino White dude dressed as Blanca from Street Fighter I mean we could do whatever you want. Okay fine. Then yeah, I'll be I'll I want that same outfit You have we'll go rent it at one place. You wouldn't do it. You refuse you want to wear a handbook. Give me give me historic Filipino clothing. Can you help me open this? So sorry? Thank you. Yes. Yeah, how do they put the chocolate on the chip? You know what that's a good question first time that's a really good answer. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Here we go

So you're gonna dress like but time that's pretty cool though. Yeah, that's really cool That's but that's the after the Spaniards took over. Yeah, this is that so this is more like Filipina stuff Can you go before Spaniards took over. Yeah, so this is more like Filipiniana stuff. Can you go before Spaniards? That is pretty cool though. Thank you. Pre-colonial Filipino attire. Look at that Catholic cross. Oh my god.

That looks dope though. It's very Spanish though. I know, but I don't know if I wanna... I guess cool still. You know? Yeah. Wait, Kalina. It can't be dipped because it's not dipped over here.

Oh, you mean just one side. You can still take a chip and lay it on melted chocolate and then remove it. No. No? We gotta try to make some. I think I just gave you a logical answer and you're rejecting it. Why don't we try to make some next time? You do a cooking show and we make these.

Okay, we'll do a cooking show chocolate. It's hot. It's melted I know but it doesn't take long for it to not be melted. How like People doing it or machines maybe either way. It's a machine. It's doable. You think some machine. Yeah Nice too much, but I get it. I'm also anti machine. Okay. I wish it was a person all day Do you really like it? Yeah, it's good. Yeah, yeah. He wants to go to Japan now for this.

Oh, can I get it at Sinclair? Huh? You could get it. You could do... You could get that in. Alright, let's regroup. Let's regroup. Okay, so Gilbert, you find a seat here?

We're back. We're all wearing hanbok. But that's dipping both sides. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's dipping one side. No, but you could also just pour chocolate on it. Wait, why are you showing a video that proves his point? Well, there's not a lot of videos of chocolate pours.

Listen, you put the chips down, you pour it on one side, right on top, and that's it. How is that fucking difficult? Bobby, have I ever told you you have anger issues? I do. I don't care. I'm fucking mad right now. Shut the fuck up about the dipping, dude.

It's good, though. I know it is good, but I'm like tired of it. We keep going back to it for some reason in my mind. Give me some. I only had one. One's kaleidosome. Okay. Oh no, no, no, for everyone. Okay, go to the first one. Here's another bag.

Okay. Here's another. Okay, so the picture on this, on the bottom right, this right here, we're called the pintados. This one? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, come on. Yeah, pintado it. Yeah, this is- So the pintados were the pre-colonial Filipinos where we used to actually have tattoos as a beautification process as sort of like a rite of passage for when you, because we were a headhunting culture.

headhunting culture. And before the Spanish came, when the Spanish came, they looked at us pentados and said, this is barbaric, we're going to spread Catholicism, and then drove that tradition and culture out, the tattooing and all of that.
