Aloha, mahalo.
We are going to play Honolulu, Hawaii, a Hawaii theater.
Gilbert's the most excited about this.
Friday, April 26, 2024.
Doors 7 PM.
Show starts at 8.
You guys, we've been wanting to play Hawaii for so long,
and now it's happening.
April 26th.
Yeah.
Kalala, where can we get our tickets?
You guys can go get tickets at tigerbellylive.com. This is going to be a great show. We don't do
this often so go get your tickets now and we'll see you there. You like it though?
Yeah, I love it.
What do you think Bobby's touches are in this room?
I mean everything of course.
No, one thing.
What specific thing?
Let's see.
He wanted something done.
I was like, he wanted something painted over.
I was like, don't paint it over that.
I mean, give me, there's like 50 million things here.
It's the exposed brick
I would have never I need a cup to spit in because I have to my mouth I mean you didn't you didn't want the exposed brick. I wanted the exposed brick. He wanted to paint it purple
I like the exposed brick. Thank you. I knew I was right. Yeah
Chow chi chow chi chow chi chow what's in there?
Yeah, like a real spittoon?
Oh, we'll get one.
Like an official one?
Give me the names, who's coming today?
All right, we have a crazy pod today.
Go ahead, Kaila.
Name them for you.
So today we have a roundup of, I think, or we all think,
is the new generation of Asian
comics. There's one not so much but but we needed a Filipino. It's also
it's just like a Hail Mary. What do you mean by Hail Mary with this person? It's
a one in a million but it could happen. Wait one though there's that one shot. I
think good face for like character acting though. Well he's probably done more movies than everyone else in the room combined. That is true. He did
that one horror film. That's so true. He has the biggest IMDB probably. Yeah, out of all of them.
But he's the one that's the roachiest. He's the roachiest of them all. And as in cockroach.
Don't be mean to him. I'm not mean to him. I love him. Not all Filipinos are cockroaches.
Him specifically, yes.
I'm a beetle.
Here's what we're going to do. We're going to experiment.
I can't hear myself. Can you do it louder?
Thank you. A little louder?
Okay.
What I want to say to you is that
it's going to be a scientific test.
Because he's so thirsty.
What does that mean? It's gonna be a scientific test because he's so thirsty.
What does that mean for the- Were you not that thirsty when you were young?
No.
Would you play football?
Like if I saw a headliner like walking to the commissary
I was a doorman, I would like not even say hi.
Really?
This guy's in your face like, hey man, check out my,
you know, I'm a clown and check my YouTube show
and all this fucking thing.
He has a clown thing that he does, you know what I mean?
Look at my standup and this and that.
And he's like so, like he doesn't,
which is what I like I guess about him,
that he has a go-getter kind of mentality,
but just a sort of desperation.
He's a hustle though.
Yeah, yeah.
He's got...
We're back!
We're back, we're back.
Which is what?
A thirst.
Hey, can you do this video?
Come over to my house.
Let's do this thing.
But wouldn't you argue that closed mouths don't get fed?
Yeah, but they also don't get fat.
So closed mouths don't get fat.
That's true.
And that's a fact.
That's true.
Closed mouths also don't get in trouble.
That's exactly right. And you would know a thing or two. Closed mouths also don't get in trouble. That's exactly right.
And you would know a thing or two about-
Oh yeah, I'm in trouble all the time.
Wide open mouths.
It's too open.
I have no lips or mouth.
It's just a gigantic empty void of time and space.
So here's- Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do Okay, um, I don't want to do. Let me see if I can name everybody. Okay.
Andrea Jen, Jason Chenney, Andrew Lopez, Leslie Lau, Dan Ramos. Yes.
They are the new crop. The new Jen. The new Jennery. They're not Paul Atreides.
Here he goes. Talking about dude. They're not Paul Atreides, I'll tell you that right now. The Spice.
Why is he the Spice?
He's the chosen one.
You know, he's the messenger.
I haven't seen the second movie yet.
I'm gonna watch it tonight.
And also I had Shabu Shabu last night at a really pretty good place.
Better than our usual?
It's an all you can eat Shabu.
Better than our usual though.
Shabuya? Shabuya usual though. Shabuya?
Shabuya to you.
Arigato gozaimasu.
What?
What did you see?
Anyway, no it's on Wilshire.
It's a new place.
I forgot what it was called but I went there with Gene and Dami.
Pretty fun.
Pretty good food.
Arrakis.
Arrakis. That's where the spice is. You know what I mean?
Caladan. Yes, Caladan. Atreides, Harkonnen. They will collide and there will be a war.
Thank you. I love you. Thank you. I love you. Thank you for finally watching the David Beckham
documentary. Okay. I want to talk about that before these kids get in here, okay?
Oh God, you just got my fucking, you got my spice ignited.
The worms are coming. My little worm is ignited.
Oh God.
Dude, stop. Whoa.
I have to say, number one, that David Beckham is one of my favorite people in the whole world.
That's what I have to say upfront out loud out of any sports figure. I honestly think that he is
literally my favorite because he's got the talent. He's got the looks. Spice. Spice. Arrakis. Stop.
Wait a minute.
Watch the movie.
All right.
Sorry, sorry.
Sorry, man.
But if you say spice in front of me right now, I get all harconed.
Don't get me all harconed.
So, but not only does he look, he's got the talent, you know, because he was in the class
of 92.
Yeah.
What do I, when I say that, what do I mean?
Okay. Name three people in the class of 92. And do I, when I say that, what do I mean? Okay, name three people in the class of 92.
And who was their coach?
Wayne Rooney.
No.
No.
No doubt.
Come on, class of 92, think about it.
Giggs, Skolls, name one.
Name me one more, aside from Beckham.
You, name me one without Beckham.
I said Giggs, Skolls, those are two good ones.
Sir Alex Ferguson.
No, maybe a player, aside from Beckham.
Can you give me a clue?
First name.
There's two brothers.
Oh, fuck.
First, last name.
I'll give you the first names.
Okay.
Gary and Phil.
Oh, fuck it.
With a last name with an N?
Yes.
Why'd you fall for his challenge?
This is the pressure because I watched a documentary.
Yeah.
Gary, next letter after N.
E.
Next letter?
That's, yeah.
Yeah.
Spell the whole thing.
Yeah, yeah.
He only has three letters in his last name.
Please, please.
V.
A Neville.
Yes.
Yes.
That's not, don't know, you didn't know it.
Yes I did know because I watched a documentary.
Which one?
The Class of 92 and the David Beckham and the Sir Alex Ferguson.
You saw the Sir Alex Ferguson's documentary?
Part of it.
I haven't finished it.
How far did you get in?
Eh, maybe like 15 minutes.
So don't let me, don't tell me anything.
That, that, never given by Alex Ferguson, that documentary is so good.
It's just, it's just, anyway, let's go back to Beckham, okay?
That dude, you know, I mean,
we talk about online trauma all the time.
The things that we read, you know?
The things that these bastards do online.
These Harkonnen, they are gonna fucking get it, okay?
And let me say, the Baron is gonna get it.
And those are the people online.
Okay?
And we withstand so much fucking bullshit, right?
But to see that guy, like when he got a red card
when he played for the World Cup, England, right?
And the shit that he got in England, right?
People spitting in his face, he couldn't leave his house.
They were like hanging.
Effigies.
Yeah, like telling him to kill himself
but actually like hanging something to show
that he should kill himself.
Like they did with Mike Pence, January 6th.
Which is deserved.
It's fine.
I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
No, I love him, I guess.
But anyway, my point is being,
I have no, I don't know anything about him, he's a Christian man.
And he's a good guy.
Who wants to electrocute the gays?
My point is, let's go back to,
let's not talk about the gays.
Let's talk about electrocution.
Okay, great.
I'm kidding, no, what I'm saying about it is
he withstood so much, and there was so many times
in his life where he had to withstand
so much bullshit pressure from the public.
And he always persevered, he always
elevated himself above it, and he always delivered that guy.
And that guy is like, I don't know dude,
and he has a great family, as you can tell,
you know, I'm not documentary, but wow,
what a fucking hero of mine.
David, and I hate Manu.
I mean, that's, okay, I wanna say.
Why do you have a Manu jersey though?
He's an Arsenal cut though.
I think Manu's my second team.
They've always been my second team because of Jason Park.
Yeah.
And I love the class of 92, I love Ferguson. I love the rain that Manchester United had, but I'm just an Arsenal fan. So I have to outwardly say that fuck man you, but I really respect them. And let's bring them in.
So Andrea, Jason.
Jason, Leslie Lau, Andrew Lopez.
And then Dan is last.
Dan is last.
Where's Dan sitting?
The orange one?
With no mic.
Okay, good.
Great, great mic.
Tagalacha.
So fucked up.
It's not fucked up, he's a good guy.
Don't pick on him too much.
Don't pick on, I'm not gonna talk to him.
That's the thing. Oh my God. Wait, wait, before. Does he even have a mic? No, no mic. He's a good guy. Don't pick on him too much. Don't pick up. I'm not gonna talk to him
Does he even have a mic no no, I oh poor damn this is one challenge This is the scientific challenge. I'm gonna do he will try to address you doesn't matter
He doesn't talk through the whole thing
Let's see if you make it happen. Oh, it's possible Dan Ramos because you know what's gonna you guys are gonna crumble
You know, I feel like it's so you little cow Wait, you know,'s gonna, you guys are gonna crumple. You cowards. I feel like it's so mean. You little cowards.
I already talked to him.
Wait, you know this is his dream.
That's why.
His dream can't come true tonight.
Cause of the thirst?
Yeah, the thirst.
This is interesting.
Let me ask you something.
Is there any water in Arrakis?
Stop with that.
There isn't.
There's no rain.
Have you seen?
It's a dry planet.
I know, but like, is he just like Dune?
They had to circulate, you know what I mean?
Their body fluids through the suit.
Did you hear that Denis Villeneuve,

He's been storyboarding Dune since he was 13 years old.

So um.
Rocket Money, do you know that nearly 75% of people have subscriptions they've forgotten
about?
I thought I was somebody who was super responsible with making sure that I cancel unwanted subscriptions
and they make it, it's tricky.
You just simply forget.
I've had plant identifier apps that I'm paying a stupid amount for.
I have like an animal-
I have relaxation apps that I signed up for years ago and that still make them, I don't
ever use them.
And I'm bleeding money.
You're probably honestly on average spending an excess of like $700 extra a year on stuff that you didn't know
you could subscribe to.
Thousands for me, thousands for me, I'm bleeding.
That's why I love Rocket Money.
Rocket Money is a personal finance app
that finds and cancels your unwanted subscriptions,
monitors your spending, and helps lower your bills
so that you can grow your savings.
Rocket Money will even try to negotiate
lower your bills for you by up to 20%.
All you have to do is submit a picture of your bill and Rockit Money takes care of the rest.
They'll deal with customer service for you. Unbelievable.
And Rockit Money has over 5 million users and has saved a total of 500 million, Bobby.
500 million in cancel subscriptions saving members up to $740 a year when using all of the app's
features.

We have a couple more. The next person is somebody that you know, you know when
you know algorithms. Yeah. We do know algorithms. I don't know what is it. No
ah so my my story is not my stories but the feed on my Instagram we get
algorithms. I get algorithms of comics a lot.
And she pops up on my,
she used to pop up on my algorithms all the time.
I just learned this word, so you know when I say,
when I learn out of pocket, words like algorithms,
you know what I mean?
What else?
And booyah.
Oh, booyah?
Yeah, yeah.
That's a good one.
That's a new one.
When did you learn booyah?
Booyah.
When?
Recently. What's booyah? Booyah! When?
Recently.
What's booyah?
I don't know, but I use it.
Sometimes you learn a word and you don't even need to know how it's used.
You just use it.
What's wrong with you?
Like what?
Pay attention.
What's wrong with me?
Pay attention.
I am paying attention.
No, you're doing all kinds of physical work.
Because you're like asserting dominance all the time.
Like I don't know what it is for dominance.
We're up and coming comedians.
You were in your studio.
Yeah, we're fucking, we're a boozed animal.
Yeah, we're forced to be.
And asserting dominance.
I didn't ask them to be.
You did, you asked for us to be.
You asked us to tell them the great gift.
You told them.
I drove over.
You asked me to tell them.
I drove over too, you fucked up. Right, so you told them. I told you, you told them.
Right, so close to you.
You got Gilbert to force us to be there.
Can I tell you something that's super unfortunate
is that gift giving is how he receives love,
but if it's the wrong gift,
it's almost as if it's gonna reverse the love.
It's hate.
It's hate.
Wait, gift giving is first?
Gift giving is his number one,
but if it's the wrong gift.
Wow, I didn't know that.
You're so shallow.
Why are you so shallow in person?
I might switch you out with fucking you know who.
No, we're not.
So, so.
What?
You're demoted to that point, dude?
We're gonna have a fucking, you're gonna have a problem.
Right?
Why do you gotta assert?
Right there, watch your fucking mouth.
I have somebody waiting in the wings, okay?
Let's go back to this other lady, okay?
So I saw her on my algorithm,
and then I started seeing her at the conference,
running around town, and you know,
I don't think she is as close to me as I am with you guys,
but I do fondly love her.
We love her too.
Yeah, yeah, she's so talented,
and I think it's a huge future.
Leslie Lau, give her a round of applause.
Leslie Lau! Woo! Leslie! We love her. Yeah, yeah, she's so talented. And I think it's a huge future. Leslie Lau, give her a round of applause.
Leslie!
Woo!
Leslie!
We love Leslie!
It's her birthday.
I know.
It's her birthday.
Happy birthday.
Happy birthday.
You were asked to bring gifts.
I was instructed, when I woke up this morning,
multiple messages demanding to bring a gift.
Yeah, yeah.
So the first thing I did say was, wow.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, I gave you a gift.
What is it?
It's got a mic.
Tiger belly.
There it is.
But why you got to say it to make us feel bad?
Let's just move on, and then we'll get into it later.
I want to talk to Leslie a little bit.
Yes, you right there.
Leslie?
Yes.
Were you on the road this weekend?
I was not. I was in LA. Oh. And you're going to go on the road this weekend? I was not. I was in LA.

Hello, hello.

But let me ask you something.
Are you nervous?
No.
It's a different country.
Why not?
Yeah, yeah.
Why be nervous?

If I go anywhere, if I get money, I'm not nervous.
Oh, you're really, you love money.
Yes, yes, yes.

I want to let everyone know too.
But before he lets you know. He's just hijacked your, I want to let you know that I want to let everyone know too
I know I know why do you have to work?
We all know right so I gotta exert a little doubt. Okay, a little bit of doubt.
I apologize.

We have to bond on this.
Okay, we will, yes.
Yeah, and George, always looking great.

Anyway.
I'm honest.
Dude, that's how you assert dominance.
That is, oh yeah, I'm sorry.

Yeah, okay.
But it also came in like the agent, J.J. Abrams.
I'm sorry, J.J. Abrams.
Are we filming? Have we sorted? Shut the fuck up.J. Abrams. Sorry, J.J. Abrams. Are we filming?

It's just like, I see him around. I don't even know, man. It's like, I see him around.
I don't even know.
And it's like, it just bothers me.
But I love him, but it bothers me, you know what I mean?
He's a creature of the night, I'll tell you.
He's just an odd guy, you know, odd one.
I love him, that's why he's here.
And I really don't know much of his credits.
He did that horror movie, Maleficent.
Yes, you're right, not Maleficent.
Malignant.
Malignant.
Malignant.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Malignant, Malignant.
Do you know that the very first Tiger Belly meetup,
like nine years ago, was at a park,
and Dan Ramos was there.
Was there, wow.
He's like a hardcore Tiger Belly fan.
So be nice, Bobby.
He's been waiting for this long to be on it? Yes.
Why are you smiling a little bit? Be easy on him. Anyway, Dan Ramos.
There's your seat over there. No's your seat right there. Wait, before he gets angry, here's your seat.
No, no, we do it later.
Okay.

So I just want to let you go, no.
Does he even have a microphone?
You guys, you guys, also it's very hard to breathe in there.
Do you care about us breathing?
Leslie. Yes, fine. It's, it's, why,, you guys, also it's very hard to breathe in there. Do you care about us breathing?
Leslie, right, it's, I mean we did that purposefully.
Oh, great.
We did it purposefully.
So what I want to say is, you know, Dan, you don't have a mic or a headphone.
So, and you know, eventually we're going to rotate everyone, right?
So just sit there, don't say shit until you're on a mic
because we gotta pick it up.
So you just patiently sit there.
We're gonna rotate you in and out, everyone.
So anyway, so let's, everyone,
we have something that we wanna do.
There is a song, an Asian Chinese child song
that we all wanna stand.
Look at the screen.
Is this another one of your requests?
What do you mean?
Yeah.
You wanted to sing this?
I wanted to sing the song.
Okay.
And everyone sing together.
Maybe they sit down and Andrew and Dan,
can you stand behind them?
Really quick.
Yeah.
And this is a song that Bobby curated.
He did some research and let's.
Well, let's play it a little bit
so that people get the hang of it.
Okay.
And then we all sing it together, okay?
Is it Mandarin?
Yeah, and then we put our hands...
Oh, we know this one.
We're going to do a salute.
We know this one.
We know this one!
I don't know!
We know this one!
We do a salute, right?
Why are we doing a salute?
Yeah.
Because I want...
Who are we saluting to?
Well, but this is...
Hello!
Two tigers.
Two tigers, two tigers, running fast, running fast,
one has no ears, one has no ears,
so silly, go back. Why did you do...
I want to bond us all.
Wait, what's the salute for?
What's this?
For China?
Yeah, don't they have military?
Yeah, for China we do salute like this for the flag.
Yeah. Anyway, congratulations everyone for being here.
And I salute everyone in the room, alright?
Chang chong!
Do you know that like... Do you know, do you know like,
so, Bobby, do you know the Philippines
is currently beefing with China, right?
Oh, I wonder who's gonna win that war!
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, dude!
It's a two hour war, baby!
Yeah!
Wow!
What, what are you you, three rocks?
Three rocks and a balloon.
They threw it at the planes.
Oh blah blah blah, I don't know.
Anyway.
He just made Filipino salute to China.
Wow dude.
Join the fucking, what are you looking at?
That's.
Okay good.
All right, all right.
Put that in here.
Did you just take a tooth out?
No, it's a little dip.
Sometimes I get stressed out
and I need a little nicotine in my body.
So I'm gonna ask you some questions, all right,
about, because I tell you,
when I started comedy in the 90s,
there was no one that looked,
I had DatF fan in San Diego.
As your peer.
As my peer.
We didn't get along that well.
Wait, is it, did he really, is this like hyperbolic when you say like he actually dragon kicked you in the chest?
No, he tried to dragon kick me in the face and I backed up like that.
Let's go baby.
I have skills too, you know.
We should have had him here today as like one of the forefathers, no?
Forefather. I think we should have had him. Yeah. That's the next one. The next one We should have had him here today as like one of the forefathers, no? I think we should have had him.
That's the next one.
The next one we should have him.
But he did try to kick me in the face.
That's true.
I've had two Asians attack me. Him and Ken Jeong.
Ken Jeong.
So like back then this wasn't a thing for you guys to be like, to have that camaraderie and like support with each other.
Because you guys were all into, to have that camaraderie and like support with each other,
cause you guys were all into like
the scarcity mentality, right?
You guys are the Kims of comedy though, that was nice.
That was years later though.
But they were all beefing.
We were all beefing at the time.
Oh no.
You know, I'll tell you something, okay?
The other day I was with Dumbfounded.
You like him?
Yeah, I love Dumbfounded.
What is it about him? You like him?
Oh, you don't believe us?
Like, okay, hold on.
One fact about Dumbfounded.
What is the fact?
No, because when people, you guys responded right away
without even thinking it through.
So I was just like, what is something that you like about?
He's like the most likable guy.
And if it's positive, it's positive.
Let's go there.
He loves K-Town.
Great. You go down the line. Go ahead.
He's nice.
Okay.
Good.
No, just say something else because we already know that. That's a given.
Say something else?
Dominance. Dominance.
Your own opinion is wrong.
He's like a veteran.
That's what I said. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, he's nice.
Yeah.
It's just a basic. Okay. Leslie.
I think he has a very sincere, calm energy.
Yeah.
There's something very center, you don't, do you hate that answer?
Bob, did you fall asleep?
No, I'm trying to observe.
He's not that way with me.
Really?
What is he, how is he with you?
Bobby's crying.
No, he gets combative.
Like some of you get. No, he gets combative.
Like some of you get.
Two.
All of you, you especially.
Yeah, Jason's very combative.
He does that to me too.
Jason's very combative.
You make me feel like I want to be violent.
Yeah, you're combative.
I wanna be violent.
That is not true.
I only have love in my heart.
No, you are combative for no reason a lot.
That's not true.
That's true.
Andrew, how do you feel about Dumbfounded?
I like Dumbfounded because he tries to do things
he can't do but does okay at them.
So it makes me feel.
Those are warring words.
And I like it.
You know what I mean?
That's what I like about you, dude.
Yeah.
You're a warster.
Yeah, yeah.
I also, yeah, I like that he's able to be white
and black and Asian for whoever he needs to do that for.
I know.
Wow, I know.
He's a panda.
Yeah, yeah.
Are you saying he's a panderer?
A panda-er?
A panda, yeah.
A panda or a chaper.
No, no, no, I think it's, a shapeshifter,
I think he's like an a swang, like he's very like-
A swang is a great, great compliment, by the way.
Yes, it is, it is.
It's sort of like how we all wanna fuck mermaids,
we all wanna be Aswang in the Filipino.
I don't wanna fuck a mermaid.
I don't wanna.
Yeah, I don't wanna fuck a mermaid.
I'd rather eat a, let me answer something.
If you find a mermaid.
Great question.
If you find a mermaid stranded on the beach,
this is more for the guys.
Would there be mermaids?
Wait, that's so stupid, there are mermaids. There are no mermaids. Yeah, this is more for the guys
Mermans there are no mermaids
Even know the origin of why the mermaid came to be is because pirates would get drunk and then fuck manatees
Wait, really? Yes, they would get drunk and then the kelp would go over the manatee and they'd be like, oh, there's a hot chick But that's a is it a chick manatee?
would go over the manatee and they'd be like, oh, there's a hot chick.
But that's a, is it a chick manatee?
I don't know how to sex a manatee, but I'm guessing.
Anyway, fuck the mermaids, okay?
I don't want to, because in mythological creatures,
like I've never seen a centaur with tits.
That's true, actually.
Oh, I've never seen a girl centaur.
Exactly. I haven't either.
No, they have them in Fantasia.
I love Fantasia.
Yes. I got it for Christmas as aasia. I love Fantasia. Yes.
I got it for Christmas as a kid.
I cried for three days.
That's to this day, if I watch it,
like it's like a whole like emotional affair.
All of it.
Cause it's just art.
There's no work.
Yeah.
But as a kid, we didn't understand it.
Whoa.
No, I know, I know, I know.
Right?
Wow, that is one.
Everybody relax.
What the fuck? I would titty the fuck the fuck out of is one. Body relax. What the fuck?
I would
titty fuck the fuck out of that one.
With her
consent. With her consent.
Yeah.
I think all of us would line up
and see what we could possibly,
you know. I feel like her vagina would be
too big and strong.
You just clip your dick right off. Can we go back to what I was going to say way, way before even going down before Dumbfounded.
Alright, so I was with Dumbfounded.
By the way, I like him because he's just hot.
Dumbfounded is a really attractive guy.
There's an essence about him that makes I think women feel very like, oh, I can talk
to this guy and also like swoon over him.
That's all. Cool, cool hot guy. Cool hot guy, yeah. Yeah, this guy and also like swoon over him. That's all.
Cool, cool hot guy.
Cool hot guy, yeah.
Yeah, he's very cool.
He's so cool.
He's objectively.
Attractive.
Attractive.
I disagree.
Very helpful.
Rebuttal.
I disagree.
Why?
Look at Bobby, I know he thinks dumb is cute.
Do you?
I know he thinks he's cute.
I just have to say one thing
Have you seen his feet?
How do you see his feet I have on the podcast so anyway, so he dumps showed his oh wow beautiful I would stay away from that
That's 2024 we don't even talk about that shit, bitch.
The bottom was dirty though.
Just look at the top part.
No, but you showed me the bottom, I couldn't even see the top.
Alright, so anyway.
Dumbfounders' feet are jacked.
Like their nails are so long.
I saw the clip.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
There's so long, and we talked about it.
Yeah.
And we were like, wow, they just look like claws.
Like claws.
Yeah, so anyway, can we move on?
Let me tell a fucking story.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So anyway, I was a dumb founded in Jeanne, and I go,
let's end the night. I go, let's end the night, I don't want to be with you
anymore.
And they're like, well no, we have one more spot
we have to go to.
And I go, what is it?
And they go, Nora Aquafina and Ronnie Chang were at this
private little dinner thing in Koreatown, right?
And so we went.
It was just Nora, Ronnie, and then they had two dates.
And we sat, no not two dates, the other one was,
what's the other one from Dumbfoundos podcast?
The one that doesn't like me.
Uh, Rec?
No, the girl.
Steph, she does not like me.
Oh, Stephie.
Stephie likes you.
Stephie likes you. Oh, she's so cute. Yes, I love her. I love her. No, she likes you. Wait, she does not like me. Oh, Stephie. Stephie likes you. Oh, she's so cute. Stephie likes you.
Yes, I love her.
She fucking loves her.
No, no, she likes you.
Wait, why does she not?
Really?
Because I fucking texted her seven months ago
and she didn't text me back for six months.
I can tell.
That's not, that's not love.
That's betrayal.
Yeah, I can, but that's-
That's harconing.
That's harconing behavior, right?
And let me say something.
We're, how's the tradies?
I will defend Steffi here and say that you crossed a boundary.
She specifically told you not to cross and you did.
What happened?
And because you tried to dominate.
And I really respect Steffi for life.
What's the cross?
I'm not going to say it because I don't feel like.
I will say it.
Because she's not going to cross a boundary.
I'll say it.
I'll cross it twice.
Don't.
Edit it out if he does. You're so, yeah, I really respect Steffi for's not gonna cross the boundary. I'll say it twice. Don't edit it out if he does.
You're so, yeah, I really respect Steffi for like,
not replying. Oh, I'm sorry.
You're right, I went crazy.
I know, I'm sorry.
You're scaring us, man.
Everyone's scared, dude.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Leslie, I'm sorry.
It's my birthday.
It has been the most hostile.
We were all waiting in a porta potty.
I'm so tired.
I feel like I have no respect.
Okay.
You didn't have to come.
We wanted you to be here.
I was happy to be here.
Anyway, I'm so sorry.
That was rude.
What I just said.
Reset, reset.
Also at the end of this,
I would love to hear if you have something nice
to say about Dumbfounded.
Oh yeah.
What do you like about Dumbfounded?
Maybe instead of...

Andrea, Andrea, Andrea, Andrea.
Come on, Andrea, lock it up, lock it up.
Dude, lock it in.
Dude, why, wait, what the fuck? What was that? Lock it in, Andrea. Lock it up, lock it up. And, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, Let me be, let me. It was scarier than the yelling. I know, I know.
So I'm gonna be, I'm just gonna be real.
Okay.
So he's got a good nature about him, okay?
Number two, he always includes me.
Wow. He's inclusive.
Which in this business, I've always felt like excluded,
I've always felt not wanted.
He always makes me feel wanted.
And number three, it does feel like a son almost,
in a weird way where I can guide him.
The persona people see in the podcast,
I mean, let me ask you,
because you two have been spending some time with me.
The persona you see on podcast,
is that the persona you see in a personal level?
Me on a personal level.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Tell the audience about that Bobby closing the door
before you leave the stage.
Oh yeah.
Okay, for one show, so we opened for him,
and then Jason was up first,
and then he stood in front of Jason
and was like not letting him go out.
Again, asserting down.
No.
No, Leslie, no.
And then me as well, me as well.
Leslie, no.
No, what?
You don't.
You don't know what you're talking about.
May I?
Go ahead.
Am I allowed to, can I say, there's a microphone.
May I speak into it?
You guys don't like this part.
It's hot.
Oh, that's fine.
You know I have to take mine off.
It makes it loud.
No, I like it better.
Oh, okay.
Go ahead.
Thank you.
I mean, you were screaming earlier.
It's hard to...
Oh, really?
Okay, okay.
You're fine, put it back.
I'm saying for them.
What did you say, Chinese go ahead I just said something in English
What would you say I I actually respect an elder were asserting dominance
And I think you know dominance. That's why we're Chinese and
Everyone you're trying to he made us sing a Chinese song. Yeah
And okay
I respect asserting dominance
But but I but I agree it sounds like you shoved him. Shove? Am I making something up?
Yeah, you are.
There was a lot of shoves.
You weren't there, and you're adding
a completely different element to it.
He shoved me.
Yeah, I don't like it.
I didn't shove you at all.
Whenever Bobby exaggerates, it's OK.
But whenever other people add a thing.
Jason, you're lying.
He did not shove.
He shoved.
You didn't see it.
He hit the bottom shove.
He didn't shove.
He just stood there.
I stood there. Thank you. That's not true. Well, you know what? She get there. You didn't see it. He did the bottom show. He didn't show up, he just stood there. I stood there, thank you.
That's not true.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, you know what?
She was there.
Yeah, I was there.
And you were the victim.
Yeah.
Exactly, I was a victim.
Can I stop for a second?
Okay.
It's so silly what you guys are doing right now.
It really is.
You guys are playing silly games with my mind.
I'm not even being funny right now.
I don't know why you're laughing.
Okay, I'm just saying that I, you know,
I was teaching you a lesson.
What was a lesson?
To be patient.
And go up.
And go up whenever.
Like a sensei, yeah.
What did I do when I went up?
You also waited.
By myself.
Yeah, but they were giving him a standing ovation.
Like, what do you mean?
That's different than some guy is opening.
That's a little different.
There's no difference.
I sat there on the couch and I looked at you guys.
Right, you were like texting.
I was texting somebody.
They had already said my name, the place is cheering,
and I'm namaste on the couch.
Do you know why?
I'll get there when I get there.
It's not a fucking, it's a journey, not a destination.
You know, Bobby, you know what's crazy is that this is-
Thank you, Andrew.
And I know you're about to say something
to the reporter, thank you so much.
This is the problem with the new Asian generation
of comedians is that we're such fucking beta pussies.
Back in the day, back in the fucking day,
you would have tried to assert dominance to Dat Phan,
he would have fucking dragon kicked you.
Instead, instead we're here crying about it.
Come on man.
Knock him over.
Yeah, knock him over.
Thank you Andrew. Thank you, that's knock him over, yeah. Thank you, Andrew.
Jason was-
Thank you, that's what I was teaching them.
Thank you!
Wait a second, I have a question for all of you guys.
Knock him over, he's like, bro, he's like,
if you block me, I'm gonna fire you.
Maybe?
Maybe.
No, you said that!
Oh yeah, oh yeah, I did, I did.
You said that!
I did say that.
I did say that.
Yeah, I said I'll block you! Yeah, yeah, I'll block it. You said you'll burn this bridge. You said that.
He would say that.
Wait, this is right before you went up on stage?
Yes.
He said his name.
Oh my God.
He said his name.
I went to the door and I looked at him like you're not going up.
And you said you weren't.
No, I didn't say you were nothing.
I didn't say you were nothing.
She's adding.
Yeah, you're adding.
You weren't there, man.
No, this is what I'm feeling like.
It's like Vietnam.
You weren't there, man.
Yeah, I'm feeling like Vietnam.
I'm feeling like Vietnam.
I'm feeling like Vietnam.
I'm feeling like Vietnam. I'm feeling like Vietnam. I'm feeling like I didn't say you were nothing. I didn't say you were nothing. She's adding.
Yeah, you're adding.
You weren't there, man.
No, I just, this one, I'm feeling like you.
It's like Vietnam.
You weren't there, man.
Yeah.
No, I wasn't.
Yeah, yeah.
Bobby whispered, you ain't shit.
Yeah.
Before I went out.
No, I didn't say that, dude.
And you know what, dude?
No, you didn't.
I say you crushed every shook.
Fuck off.
That's really right, man.
All right?
Also, can I just say another thing?
I paid you more than, you know, most people pay you,
you know that, right?
I gave you a nice hotel. I flew you out there, right? I got fucking meals and stuff. You did, man. Right, and I just say another thing? I paid you more than most people pay, you know that, I gave you a nice hotel, I blew you out there,
and I fucked up your meals and stuff.
Right now, I was very respectful.
I don't know what the fuck you're doing right now, man.
Yeah, what are you doing, Jason?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Dude, this is so fucked up.
Can we go back to the dumbfounded thing,
because we have to go back.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I can't believe you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So let's go back, okay?
So dumbfounded and Gene were like,
we stopped by Ronnie and Nora.
We went to this, like, you know,
what's that place called?
The fancy Korean club that they go to?
Intercrew.
Intercrew.
So we went to Intercrew and we were out,
into Intercrew and we're like,
and then we go, where are they?
And then there's a private room.
We walk in this private room, there they are.
We sat down and we had a great talk
and I interrupted everyone, not in a rude way,
but in a very elegant way.
Oh.
Yeah.
Yeah, in an elegant way.
How'd you do it?
I go, I took my class.
I go, oh wow.
And I went clink, clink, clink, clink.
Yeah, in an elegant way. Wow. It's like you're hammering something into it. And we're clinking. And we're clinking, clinking, clinking. Yeah, in an elegant way.
Wow.
It's like you're hammering something into a...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I worked there.
Yeah.
You're hanging up a photo.
Yeah, so, and I said, I have to make an observation.
I go, when I started in the 90s,
I never dreamt that this could be a thing.
And they're like, what do you mean?
I go, just think that, you know,
two people that are like in it,
they were there for the Kung Fu Panda premiere.
And they're both in it, right?
So just the thing that two Asian people
are like leads in a, you know, huge movie about pandas.
Titled Kung Fu Panda?
Jack Black's the lead. Oh, that's a good lead. Angelina Jolie, I think.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you know, but when I, my point though, is I looked at them, I go,
this has never happened in, I never even thought that this could ever happen.
That I could just sit there and be and we're cool and everybody, you know, it's just cool. And it's just, and to see all you guys, you know,
rise is such a really cool feeling.
And I've never, you know, as a young person,
I just never thought that I didn't receive that.
Mine was pure struggle and suffering.
That's what my next question to all of you guys.
Oh, that's why he's making us suffer.
Yes.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So basically. Why, Pat, Pat, Pat.
Why are we clapping?
Why are we clapping?
Yeah.
No, honestly, honestly, Dan, Dan, Dan, sit down.
Dan, sit down.
Do you think that there is a-
Don't do that.
You just sit there until a mic opens
and you will get your time to shine.
Dan, I'm sorry.
Do you think there's a level of mild hazing
that is necessary for young comics
or do you think we've entered a stage
of like total gentle parenting?
I think it's nice because our parents are hazing like that
so whenever people do it it's familiar
and it's like, ooh, that's nice.
But your parents haze a little bit.
I think it's necessary, a little.
Yeah.
Well, did you guys have strict,
cause I had really strict Asian parents. Did you have it, Leslie? They were not as strict as in my necessary, a little. Well did you guys have strict, because I had really strict Asian parents.
Did you have it, Leslie?
They were not as strict as in my mind.
I thought, I was racist towards them.
Where I, I,
like I was like, you're so,
I thought they were so strict,
but my mom said I was so well behaved.
After school, every day,
I would go straight to my room and do my homework,
and she wouldn't ever have to tell me
to do it, so I tiger mom myself.
And I still do.
Straight A's, you got straight A's.
That's it, that's it, happy birthday!
Holy shit, I'm all straight up her head!
I always will.
Then do you tiger mom them back?
My parents?
Yeah.
Now I do, now I want them to follow the rules,
I want them to be nice to each other, healthy, and go to bed early and I feel like that's the way to do it
Because I do think we have to train our parents. Yeah, Leslie. Let me ask you something. You're the opposite of this one
Whoa, oh, I think you didn't do drugs. Did you um in high school? Okay. Why is your cheek sweaty right now?
Yeah, you know it's make. Oh, it's makeup.
My bad.
Okay.
Why are you cheating?
Sorry, my bad, my bad.
My bad.
Let's move on.
So...
We work so hard to get ready.
Did you smoke weed?
Did you smoke weed?
I tried it in high school, yes.
Oh my God.
And then in high school, did you do any other drugs like cocaine or anything like that?
I have never done cocaine.
Exactly.
So you're a pretty... So that means I'm opposite... No, you're a goody fishies. How do you know I... When did you lose any other drugs like cocaine or anything like that? I've never done cocaine. Exactly. So you're a pretty goodie fish.
Oh, so that means I'm opposite?
No, you're a goodie fish.
When did you lose your virginity?
Why?
Oh!
Guys, that's so weird.
I'm sorry.
Move on then.
I'm sorry.
I don't know.
I thought we were all friends.
Why did you have to beat that?
All right, forget it.
Let's move on.
All right, we'll cut that out.
We'll move on.
I'm sorry.
I fucked up.
The gutter over here.
Wait. Why did you assume I did drugs? All right, we'll cut that out. We'll move on. That's all right, fuck off. I'm talking like what? The gutter warrior.
Wait, why did you assume I did drugs?
Yeah, what?
Yeah, you did, right?
So Andrew's a cocaine slut then.
How are you implying?
Yeah, yeah, do you do drugs?
I did do drugs, but I never told you that.
I know.
I just assume.
How, oh.
You're wild.
Oh.
Oh, you do cocaine?
Wow.
In the past.
In the past, yeah, yeah, yeah.
All those psychedelics?
Yes.
Yeah, yeah.
Marijuana, obviously.
I mean, come on.
Oh.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, what?
Oh, what?
Oh, you think you got me?
Yeah, yeah, I got you, dude.
You think you got me?
Right?
I just think you're a little,
I think you're just a little wild.
That's why I relate to you.
Okay, thank you.
Yeah, yeah, so let's move on.
No cocaine group over here. No cocaine, no cocaine. Never will, you know. Hey, wild, that's why I relate to you. Okay, thank you. Yeah, yeah, so let's move on.
No cocaine group over here.
No cocaine, no cocaine.
Never well either.
Hey Bobby, can we do a rotation?
No curiosity.
Andrew, come on, maybe Jason.
Let's all scoot down one.
Hi, hi Andrew.
What's, oh my god, what?
I think he tripped.
We can share them.
No, no, no.
Yeah, yeah.
You'll talk when you talk.
Shut the fuck up, man.
You talk when you talk, dude.
This is beautiful.
What's beautiful?
The new studio.
No, they just worked on it all weekend.
It's amazing.
This is the first time we're using it.
What do you think?
It's amazing.
I love it.
Really nice.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did you have the party before? No.
Oh, that's new.
It's new.
Can I tell you something?
You were saying something about how you didn't feel
like you were included,
and I just want to bring everybody into this.
I think-
What?
Well, I want to say this.
I do want to say that I really appreciate your longevity,
though, and that you, it's true.
Like, I think that there has been a lot of Asian comics
who rise and fall Yeah
And you've just gotten better every single year and you're still getting better and it's like something that I think all of us want to do
I'm gonna tell you the secret
Don't do anything
Less is more. Here's my what I want to say. Okay is I think the reason why is because I've always done this
What's that?
What do you mean?
Dash?
Dash.
Let's guess what it is.
I feel like you're about to hile.
I've always done this.
What would this mean?
Everyone.
Not a karate chopper.
Coast. Not moving.
Stayed right here and not go.
Yes.
Your career never shot up.
It stayed right here.
I never did this.
Cause you never try.
Oh.
Yes.
But yes.
I think that's yes.
I think you're right.
I think I've always went,
uh, nah, yeah I'll do the, you know what I mean?
And it's always just kind of been this.
So I'm slowly rising.
But you made moves.
By the time I'm 60, bullshit.
Oh yeah, you could win an awesome win.
You made moves though, you did stuff.
What?
You made moves though, you did stuff like the podcasts.
Yeah, what do you mean slowly rising?
This is like-
No, no, so what I wanted to say is,
I don't know if I purposely did it,
it's just the way my life was handed to me.
So I've always had like spikes of,
oh, oh, oh, here we go.
And it never happened.
So it's like, I'll tell you, so Mad TV.
What?
It's not college.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
I will let you talk next.
Oh, you want to ask a question?
Now go ahead.
Yeah, yeah.
It's just because you said,
ju-ju-ju-ju-ju.
This is why I raised my hand. This is why I raised my hand. Yeah, it's just because you said...
This is why I raised my hand. This is why I raised my hand.
Because of stuff like this.
Well, just because I watched the other episodes, sometimes you miss an audition.
Yeah, yeah.
So what do you mean?
What's your point?
What's that question?
That's not a question.
You're not helping, man.
He just did the-
Okay, but that wasn't a question.
That was just, you just said something.
Yeah, what's the point?
It was a statement because I have ADD.
What was the earlier thing?
Remind me.
Oh, oh, maybe you did.
Maybe you did, he's saying he never really tried.
Yeah, you never really tried.
You're saying you never even went to auditions?
Yeah, you did, yeah.
Okay, there are moments in my life where I went,
oh, why did I do that?
Right, so I'll give you one example.
For the movie, was that movie Knocked Up?
Yeah. Yes.
So I was auditioning for, it went Ken Jeong and then me,
cause he got the role, to audition for the doctor part.
I stayed in the parking lot with my sides,
I hadn't read them, and I had been sent it a week before,
the sides, and I just never went in.
Stuff like that.
Also, can I just make you feel better about that?
Bobby?
I was like, he literally is a doctor. Also, can I just make you feel better about that? Bobby? Yeah.
I was like, he literally is a doctor.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
How are you going to beat a doctor playing a doctor?
Exactly.
That's what I would buy in my mind.
Yeah.
I'm like, ah, it's a waste of time.
I don't want to go in there.
Right?
But so there's been moments of Mad TV was a moment.
I got Mad TV Tonight Show, Harold and Kumar
right in the same time.
And I'm like, oh shit, this is the year 2000.
And I'm like, oh here I go.
Here I go, you know what I mean?
And then, oh, right, and you fell to the ground,
my fucking wings broke.
And I go, oh, I can't fly anymore, right?
And then MADtv ended and I spent years, couple I can't fly anymore, right? And then, Matt TV ended, and I spent years,
couple years in the fucking desert,
roaming just headlining shitty rooms, no draw,
going, oh, it's over.
And then I got two things.
I got Animal Practice, which is a sitcom,
and The Dictator.
Why did you laugh when you said that?
What? Why did you laugh?
Because it got really bad reviews.
It was slaughtered in the reviews.
Oh, I didn't know that. Oh, no.
And so, but when you book a Sasha Baron Cohen movie
and you book a network sitcom, you're like,
my things are back.
You know what I mean?
I'm flying, right?
And I'm flying again, right?
And all of a sudden, ah, you fall, right?
So I've had so many moments of like this,
and then when I'm down, it's years of nothing.
It's years of nothing. Where you're like, you know, I remember one time
Matt Bronger talking about how he was guest starring
on this NBC sitcom once, we were at this comedy store
and I remember sitting there going,
oh I've never guest starred on anything.
No one's ever asked me, you know what I mean?
And I remember feeling super jealous.
There's so many moments where I felt so jealous
and never said anything.
So, you know, I'm just a guy that just won't quit.
I just hang around.
I think that's one of the important parts.
It's like people are always chasing highs
when the focus should be on not quitting
when you're at the lowest.
And that's like.
That's it, I saw, I saw, I saw, I saw.
Yeah.
Like what does the rivers say? Joan Rivers say it's like you just have to stand in the rain.
And the lightning will eventually hit you.
Yeah. Yeah.
The lightning kills you, right?
It will. It will.
It will.
But if you survive it, you become powder.
Yeah, you can survive it.
The movie powder?
The movie powder.
That would be fucking raw.
Yeah, it is.
I love that movie. My mom's friend got struck by lightning twice and then she survived powder. That was fucking rough. Yeah it is. Go ahead, Andrea.
My mom's friend got struck by lightning twice and then she survived it.
She's very strong.
And there we go, Mora.
Wow.
Wait, twice?
Twice in her life or like at one time?
Hold on, was it twice in the same spot?
No, no, no, different spots.
No way.
Yeah, yeah.
Can we get her here? Get her here? Yeah, we should interview her. She's dead. No, no, no different spots. No way. Yeah. Yeah. Wait, can we get her here? She won't get her here
Yeah, we should interview her
This I want to explore so she was struck by lightning on two separate occasions
Yes, and then she's like alive to tell her story. Yeah, she's she has arms walking around
Everything is intact because maybe she everything she's Asian.
Were you guys like, let's go to the casino right now after the second one like,
oh yeah, no, but she goes to casino, but she loses a lot.
Yeah, because I knew a guy who got struck by lightning and I met him at a house party,
but he needed one of those like vocalist things to put in his throat.
Yeah, because like I guess it like paralyzes like vocal cords.
So not quite the same story.
But she's completely fine.
Okay.
He wasn't as strong as I thought.
It's happening again.
It's happening again.
So anyway, what I want to say,
because even before I said the meeting at the Korea Town,
we want to talk about this generation of comics.
And you guys are rising now.
Obviously, you guys have never in comedy, have you witnessed anything racist or anything?
Yeah.
I mean-
Like outwardly racist. Because I've had comics come up to me back when I was...
In the 90s.
Whoa, easy.
When I was...
You know what I mean?
Yeah, I think that though it's like, if somebody's being racist to me now, it's like time has
changed so much that it's almost like they're the loser in the majority of the group.
I think what's fucking weirder is the Asian people that are racist towards themselves.
Like, you'll see like an Asian comic be like, stop making fun of the group. I think what's fucking weirder is the Asian people that are racist towards themselves. You'll see an Asian comic be like,
stop making fun of Asian people.
My next Ching Dong to Bing Bong show is on Sunday.
And you're like, wait a minute.
Like, we're out here now, finally Asians rule this place.
Come to me so horny next week.
And you're like, wait a minute.
Those are the fucking people that are the most racist.
Right, right. Yeah.
Which brings me to this next question.
And this is gonna be a hard one.
This is an uncomfortable one.
Because it's something that I'm okay with, okay?
What do you think of white dudes making fun of us
if we're around, like a white dude doing an Asian accent,
or a white dude saying some crazy Asian shit
on a podcast or whatever, how do you feel about it?
I think, I think, I think.
Are they friends?
Are they friends?
Well here's the thing, even if I'm not friends with them,
I think at this point, if you can't decipher
whether or not they're being hateful
or if they're being loving, that's on you.
Especially in common.
Like, if you're gonna, I think everybody in this room
is good enough to understand the difference between the two.
Yeah.
Like, but also, and I have to say something about you, I think everybody in this room is good enough to understand the difference between the two. Yeah.
But also, and I have to say something about you.
It's just like...
Bring it to me. I'm like, let's go, bro.
I would say everyone in this room.
What I want to say is, you know, you can dish it back.
Yeah.
Right? It's like, you can...
Your performance and who you are speaks for itself.
But sometimes there's so much hate.
No there isn't.
It doesn't come out.
No there's not.
I don't know, where, where, where?
No, when the whites keep on doing the thing.
What do you mean the whites keep on doing the thing?
The racist thing!
What thing?
The fucking ching chong bing bong thing.
Jason, I feel like Bobby's more racist to you right now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's what I'm saying.
I was gonna say, Bobby...
This has been a pretty racist episode.
Yeah.
For me personally.
Alright, sorry, sorry.
I apologize.
Okay.
I'm doing the best I can to make everyone happy.
And not be that.
Wow, wow.
Yeah, so what I'm saying is, I'm just, it's, I want.
He's making you tougher, dude.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But I don't think it's getting better.
He'll like press him, but he doesn't get better.
Yeah.
You don't get better.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So you, so like, I'll give you an example.
I've potted with dudes, right, that have had,
done an accent and they'll make fun of their family
or whatever.
And I feel like it's an equal exchange of like,
you know what I mean, bullying almost or teasing each other.
But I think that if it's all out of love
and I think that's okay.
Yeah, amongst friends, like who gives a shit
because there's already like,
there's already like a agreement between us because there's already like and there's already like a
Agreement between us that there's that freedom to whatever like roast each other
I don't know still how I would feel outside of comedy if someone was just like
Talking if it was like a white dude at a grocery store. You hate that shit. I know that I hate
That's a salt. Yeah. Yeah, we remember Ranger at a grocery store
They still do that shit to him. Yeah, wait, remember? A stranger at a grocery store?
They still do that shit to him.
Yeah, like a white waiter go,
oh, mystery, and do an Asian accent,
and I'm always like, no, what are you doing?
And it is Monday, it's like,
well, I've seen so-and-so do it on a podcast,
so it's okay, I go, yeah, that dude's my friend.
But they can't differentiate it.
They can't.
I think that might be the problem here,
where it's like, it's okay, but then there's always gonna's might be the problem here. It's like it's okay
But then there's always gonna be that one guy who saw that one podcast
It was like well, then I can go ahead and talk like that. Yeah, yeah, I think that's also again
I think it's also but it's good to know that that's the minority of people. I hope so. I think it is
I really think it is guess what lights are the new minority. They are they are I mean look at this room
Exactly Guess what? The whites are the new minority. They are. They are. I mean, look at this room. Exactly what? Oh my god.
That's what I'm talking about.
All right, switch.
We'll do a switch.
We'll do a switch.
We'll do a switch.
We'll do a switch.
We'll do a switch.
We'll do a switch.
We'll do a switch.
We'll do a switch.
We'll do a switch.
We'll do a switch.
Come down.
Come down.
Come down.
Come down.
Wait, I'm going to leave my phone.
Oh, wait.
Oh.
OK.
Yeah, go ahead.
Oh, can I have one?
Please also put stickers on the table.
Yeah, this is for everybody, dude.
Yeah, stickers are for everyone, too.
Yeah, get stickers on the table if you want to whenever you want to.
Thank you.
Yeah.
That's Tiger Belly.
Yeah.
Thank you.
So anyway, but do you guys, can I ask you guys a question?
Yeah.
For instance, when you go on the road, is your audience mixed,
or is it a lot of Asians?
Because when I go on the road, what audience mixed or is it a lot of Asians? I mean because when I go on the road what I've noticed is hardly I mean I get maybe five percent
of my audience are Asians. That's not true. We was there. You had like 40, 30. I think he
just likes to say that. How many how many Asians are in the audience? I would say at
least 30, 35 percent. Correct. I've never been to a show of yours that was,
maybe your bad friend show, I think,
like brings a lot of like white chads.
When I do my own, which is what the one you did,
I get 35, 40%.
But like Tiger Belly shows are split.
All Asians, almost.
A lot of Latino, a lot of their fix.
But I think you just like to say that for reasons I don't understand. No, if the bad friends is, I think the audience is what I don't know. It's but um, I think you just like to say that for reasons
No, you know if the bad friends is I think the audience is what I is mostly white
Yeah, a lot of observation on that is that you you wish there were more Asians or is there any observation?
It's just just an observation. Listen, I'm gonna say something and I don't really feel like an Asian comedian and I never have
whoa
And I never have. Whoa.
Thank you, Dan.
Thank you, Dan.
There you go, Dan.
Honestly, I'm so weird.
And just the way, I mean, let's be honest.
I'm weird.
Even when I hear myself talk, or I'll look at a clip, I go, I can't believe I just said
that or I can't believe that's how I laugh or that's my point of view.
I can't even, like, so it's like for me,
I've always just kind of been more of a underdog
kind of comic or whatever.
Rather than-
That makes you unique though, sorry.
What were you guys' thoughts when you first started
or thought about doing comedy?
Was Bobby in the-
Don't do that.
Wait, no, I wanna know like how people view you.
They probably not, but. Why do you assume that though? You're so insecure. Yeah. I don't, that. Wait, no, I wanna know how people view you. They probably not. But, you know. Why do you assume that though?
You're so insecure.
Yeah.
I don't touch that about me.
Like when did Bobby first sort of like come into your radar
and when you realized like,
oh, this is somebody who's done this
for a long time before me
and who was probably like alone in the game
for a very long time.
Like what were your thoughts about him in general?
Were you like, oh my God, this is like a fucked up Asian like am I proud
are we proud of him do we accept him I already know what Andrew is gonna say
yeah I grew up watching that TV uh-huh yeah and so I love you know this part
because I'll tell you why I'll tell you why I don't care oh you don't know I
mean I love them and I don't,
like in terms of when people go,
I grew up watching you or you inspired me,
I don't like that.
How do you know that that's what they're gonna say?
I'll tell you my story real quick, if I can.
Is that okay?
Is that okay?
It's America.
Okay.
Go ahead.
So, hold the mic.
When I first, like, you were gonna do this show
called Power Violence that I was on.
And it was an alt show back in 2013
on Santa Monica Boulevard.
It was the cool alt show at the time.
And everybody there was stoked
that Bobby Lee was gonna come play.
And at the time, the comedy store was dead.
Like, was headlining the comic store.
Well, no fancy.
Yeah, shout out to you.
Yeah, love.
Yeah, great guy.
Where is he?
I've.
Oh, Andrew! Andrew! Andrew! I'm asking! Yeah, shout out to you. Yeah, love. Great guy. Yeah. Where is he? I've.
Oh, Andrew.
Andrew.
I'm asking.
I'm not asking.
I'm not asking.
But you're starting a war.
I'm not starting a war.
I'm starting, I'm trying to hang out with him.
This is like what me and Kevin say.
This is a 20 year war.
Where is he?
Stop interrupting my story.
So, okay.
So, you're gonna drop in.
No, I know.
Happy birthday.
Happy birthday. Happy birthday. Happy know. Happy birthday. Happy birthday.
Happy birthday.
Happy birthday.
Happy birthday.
Happy birthday.
Happy birthday.
You were gonna drop in, and we were all stoked
that you were gonna come,
because you didn't do all the shows at the time.
You walked around the corner,
and all these people were standing outside,
and you looked at everyone, and you went,
I can't do this, and then you started sprinting
the other direction, your ass hanging out,
and you were actually scared and had anxiety.
And that was the first time I related to you,
not as an Asian person, I go, I get that.
I totally understand that.
And everybody there came up,
and then the host, Bud Diaz, went on stage and goes,
Bobby Lee just ran away because he had too much anxiety
to go on stage, and everybody cheered and went off.
You said that on the show?
That's crazy.
And that was my first time seeing it,
and we respected you for it, because we were like, you just want to do it. I did that on the show? That's crazy. And that was my first time seeing it and we respected you for it
because we were like, we just want to do it.
I did that on Opie and Anthony the first time I did it.
I had a panic, I just got up and I laughed.
Yeah, I wanted to say that I relate to you.
Like I saw.
That's what you were going to say?
That's what I was going to say.
All right, all right, all right.
Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You were going to say that.
Oh, thank you so much.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Good thing you did.
Also Andrea chose the noisiest snack. All right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're gonna say that. Oh, thank you so much. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Good thing you dang. Also, Andrea chose the noisiest snack.
Why?
I'm trying to eat.
You're not gonna wanna eat Pringles
after Bobby tells you what he does with Pringle cans.
What does he do with them?
You walk him?
You should explain.
He does.
Oh.
Because Andrew has a similar affection for things.
I got a machine that fucks me
when my VR headset.
Okay, I'm gonna.
Wait, really?
You got like the fancy one? Okay. I had to try it. I heard. You VR headset. Okay, I... Wait, really?
You got like the fancy one?
I had to try it.
You had to try it.
I heard that you have that.
All right, who was it?
Let me ask you about this machine.
You have my VR headset?
Where did you get the machine at?
Is it sponsored?
No.
It can get sponsored.
I don't know.
I want to know what...
Because maybe I'll get it.
I'll deal.
You have an Oculus?
I use the Meta Quest 2. And then you have a machine that's attached to it
I
It's a separate entity. Yeah. Okay good. Congratulations. Yeah
No, I already have the the weapon of choice that I'm gonna use for the rest of my life right now
Which one is it?
Pringles can what?
Can't know I have a no. I have a blue ring.
Oh, that thing.
Wet vibe.
I feel like that's a little bit like compared to his.
No, you have no idea the ecstasies that I encountered
late at night.
The winds of juice.
Oh my God.
Winds of juice. Yeah, it creates an over The winds of juice. Oh my god. Winds of God.
Yeah, I mean, it creates an overflowing flow of love.
It's just a vibrating cock ring.
It's not the way, I don't like the way you just said it.
For the ladies in the room, let me ask you,
if you hear that a guy uses a sleeve, is that a turn off?
I don't even know what a sleeve is.
What's a sleeve?
It's, I guess, like a flesh light.
Yeah, a flesh light, like a pocket pussy here.
No, I don't think so. Well, I don't want to. That's just jacking a flush light. Yeah, a flush light. Like a pocket pussy. I don't think so.
You gotta do your thing.
That she's jacking off.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, I don't wanna cross the lines
because I asked a question earlier
that was uncomfortable to the ladies,
but do you use a machine?
A machine?
A vibrator.
What an aggressive.
You just talked about ours!
It's her birthday, it's her birthday.
Yeah, it's her birthday, I know,
but Leslie, I'm just saying,
what I'm saying is that,
don't raise your hand right now.
I'm, I'm sorry, that was rude.
Too much, that was too much.
No, you're right, you're too much.
No, no, no, no.
Okay, I love you.
Okay, I don't, okay, okay.
So what I'm saying is that we talked about machines,
and then I asked you if you use Viber,
is that crossing the line or what?
I don't think.
No, you know what, it's fine, equal.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Leslie, do you use a machine?
Do you?
A vibrator.
I'm gonna let my, I'm gonna let my.
Okay, go ahead, Andre, go ahead.
Okay, I have, yes.
You have a machine at home?

Thank you.
Oh, where do you keep, where do you store them?
In my nightstand. Oh, okay, I keep? What do you store them? In my nightstand.
Oh, okay, I'm picturing like a robot.
No.
A vibrator, a little one.
Yeah, yeah, just like normal.
Leslie?
I have never purchased or used a vibrator.
Whoa.
Old school, old school.
I've tried them all and like,
I never want to get to a point where I'm reliant
on that amount of vibration,
cause like I've always just been able to get myself there.
So it's like, what's the problem?
I never wanna now rely on that.
And you reach an unrealistic high.
Right.
But I'm not against it.
It's great, do what you have to do,
but I take product reviews very seriously.
So when I look at these websites,
I'm reading all the reviews and stuff.
And then I get very, I start laughing.
What about you?
Probably not.
A machine?
Yeah.
No, I just use my hand.
Okay.
When you go on the road,
because you're married, you have a child.

And I tell you the truth about that Irvine Irvine the truth about that Dan is that that wasn't a Bobby choice
That was a me choice. I used to choose Bobby's openers and I was like,
I, this weird Filipino kid,
this is weird Filipino kid,
can you just put him up real quick
so I can see how he does?
And so that was it.
I literally don't remember.
Dude, it was the day after Brody passed away.
So you were booked on Friday.
That's why he doesn't remember it then,
because he was in a bad place.
It was a bad place.
I don't remember, you missed out on the first night
and then on the first show you came in,
you're like, hey, I'm Bobby.
I'm like, I know, man.
And you were all frazzled.
And then you're like, so what jokes did you do?
I'm like, for a minute I pretended I was you.

Okay. You always kick me at the stories. You always kicking me. and um... Listen, I have to apologize. Yeah, dude. Can I apologize to you something, Dan? Okay?
Why do you always kick me at the store?
You're always kicking me!

And then I'm like, I take it!
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But I kick him hard.
Like I'll do a full-on chest kick.
Two days ago, I was a roundhouse.
It was a roundhouse to your legs.
I'm so sorry.
That's my bad.
It's because...
It's poly training.
Who's worse to you, poly or me?
He told me not to say this.
He told me that everything you've ever done to people is through him.
Yes. Thank you.

So Dan, over the year, let's let,
you know, I wanna say welcome to Tiger Belly.
I know you're a fan.
We love you.
We like you.
No, you're interesting to me.
No, you're really interesting to me.
There's something about you, I swear to God, dude,
there's something really odd about you
that I relate to as well.
And I'm just trying to, I haze you a little bit
because I want you to get stronger.
And I think that your standup is very more
Rick Glassman-y, more experimental.
You really are.
But I think that, like more of a Kaufman kind of a thing,
he does weird things on stage.
I think he's important to comedy.
Wow.
Yeah, I think.
I think you're very important to comedy.
Thank you.
And yeah, don't cry, please don't cry.
It'll make me do this.
But I love, thanks for being here.
You know what, I'll be honest with you,
you weren't gonna talk at all.
I mean, my whole plan was not to have him talk
at all at any moment.
But Jason just.
I know, but Jason fucking kissed me the fuck off, dude.
He's like the long tooth that's really fucking fucked up.
You're out with me right now dude, you're out.
That's so rude.
I don't even know Lizzie that well and she got me a fucking
the best gift you could possibly get.
Mindful.
Thank you so much.
May, may you, may you get rise above sherry cola.
Oh my god.
No, no one clap, no one clap, no one clap for that.
I mean, whoever, whoever.
That's your homie too.
Yeah, I love him.
Wait, what the fuck?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Andrews is just.
What you did?
I'm trying to hang out with.
I have emails with.
I have emails with.
Sherri's cool as the rise.
You know what I mean, I'm just saying,
may you, you know what I mean, rise above it.
Angie, you're my mom's favorite comic
You know that really because she saw you open for at the tiger belly. Oh, that's awesome
So now she tracks everything you're on you know you thank you. That's awesome shout out to collie's mom
But I'll say this you know you are asking the chemical makeup of our shows
Yeah, mine is like the majority of my show like it's like 45 to 85 percent
empty seats.
What do you mean? Nobody, nobody.
I don't understand what you mean by that.
There's a new Lopez.
Nobody, nobody comes.
To the show.
Yeah.
When you do stand-up.
I don't have any Asian people come.
Oh yeah, but so, but the people come though, no?
No.
No one comes.
No.
Yeah, I mean, what is your, I know, I guess,
what is your draw?
Yeah, Colin.
What is your draw like right now, Andrea?
Asian, white, black.
No, but how many people come?
Oh, oh.
That's true.
Uh-huh.
Whoa.
Wait, uh, I could, it's, in the Midwest, nobody.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
It's hard.
Yeah.
LA.
LA, they'll get, they'll come and then they're like, oh.
But the most important thing,
and I'm gonna say it to everyone in this room, right,
is we're aware of you.
Wait, that sounds mean.
Wait. No, no, no, no.
What I'm saying is,
It sounds mean.
No, no, no, no.
We're aware of you.
No, what I'm saying is,
if I'm with Margaret Cho,
if I'm with, you know what I mean,
anybody that's older and more established,
you guys are in our sight, you guys are in our world.
You're fucking watching us.
We're watching you and going,
wow, this is the next generation and we can't wait.
Was there anyone that said that to you?
It's exciting, no, that's why I do it.
Nobody did that to me.
Well, Margaret kinda did.
She, in probably 2005, 2006, I was playing a place
called Dublin's and I got off stage and Margaret was there
and she grabbed me by my wrist and pulled me outside
and she goes, I've always wanted to meet you.
And that's why I came,
because I saw you advertised for the show.
And it was a magical moment for me. And it was like really, and Tamayo Atsuki, although she's why I came, because I saw you advertised for the show. And it was a magical moment for me.
And it would like really,
and Tamaya Otsuki, although she's eating cats now.
Where is Tamaya Otsuki?
In Hawaii?
Yeah, we gotta find her.
Wasn't she just in LA recently?
No, we gotta find her.
You guys know who she is?
I've been freaking her about it.
You know about her?
I think you told me about her.
Yeah, yeah.
They're not gonna end up like her, Bobby. What. They're not gonna end up like her, Bobby.
What?
They're not gonna end up like her.
Wait, can we do a documentary on her?
I feel like she was a legendary.
She's a legendary person.
She's like one of the OGs.
Yeah.
What?
Who is this person?
And I don't know if this is true.
Well, tell her history.
I don't know if this is true.
I don't know if this is true,
and I don't want it to be true,
but I think it might be true, okay?
So back in the day, when I was working at the Comedy Store,
we used to have a yearbook.
Have you seen the Comedy Store yearbook?
You can, if you go to the main room
and ask whoever's working there, go,
hey, can you give me a yearbook?
And you can see it, they'll send it to you.
There's thousands of them backstage.
I mean, back in the offices that no one looks at.
Anyway, there was a yearbook.
And if you look at the yearbook, there's classes, right?
So then, you know, and as a young guy in 2000,
in 1995, when I was at the La Jolla Comedy Store,
we had a yearbook there, so I would like look
through the pages to see anything remotely Asian
in the past, right?
And you would see too, you would see Johnny Yoon,
and you saw Tamayo Atsuki.
And so then when I became a regular at the store,
I was still living in San Diego,
Mitsy paired me with Tamayo, she headlined or whatever.
And so I got, she taught me a couple of good things.
She said, when she saw my act, and this is,
she goes, she goes, in your set up, you gotta change your set ups.
I don't wanna do her accent.
You have to change your set ups like a white,
because your set ups are degrading to us as Asians.
You're saying it like a white person would.
Right, she goes, you can do the same punch line,
but switch it and make it more positive.
Like for instance, I'll give you an example,
like Asians have small, guys have small tits, right?
It's more like Asian guys have small tits,
but that's a good thing because we do this with it.
You know what I mean?
You know what I mean?
Like make it more positive, you know what I mean?
Instead of degrading.
And then I didn't see her, she got on a sitcom.
Oh, she did?
Oh yeah, if you look up to Miyazaki's sitcom,
she's on like this, you know what I mean?
Like an NBC sitcom, it got canceled.
And then I didn't see her in 20, 25 years
and I was walking down Sunset
and I see this old air Asian lady
and she comes up to me and she goes,
it's me Tamae Oh.
And I go, what the fuck?
And she goes, I live in the jungles of Hawaii
and she saw me photos and she goes, I hunt cats.
And I go, why?
She goes, I eat them.
And she saw me, she showed me some photos.
She had like a digital camera.
This took a crazy turn.
Yeah.
She was just starting to think.
She helped me with my punch line.
That's insane.
Yeah, yeah.
How old would she be now?
I don't know, probably in her 60s.
We have to find her.
I know, I know.
She lives in Hawaii.
You're always in Hawaii.
Find her.
I want to.
I swear to God, I'm going to do a whole thing on her.
We got to find her.
Wait, wait, wait.
Open for you?
What?
Who gives a fuck about comedy?
Wait, this lady just is in the jungle eating cats?
So I Googled it, right?
And it says, there was one little thing where it's like,
Tamani Atsuki eats cats. That's aside from- Are you being hyperbolic? says, there was one little thing where it's like, Tamayo Atsuki eats cats.
That's aside from-
Are you being hyperbolic?
Wait, that was just this thing on-
No, I'll look, I'm gonna show you something.
I'm gonna show you something.
I just can't imagine something like, hey.
Okay, so Tamayo, right?
Wow.
Atsuki.
Right, see, what does that say?
Wait, what the?
He's kissing them.
What are we gonna watch?
What are we gonna watch?
It's not a video, it's just a screenshot.
But is there something that says that she eats them? Yeah, that's her.
It seems like she's kissing the cat.
Dude, I got a bad feeling about that.
This is like...
Whoa.
There's something in that little thing that you showed, that thumbnail, underneath, it says something about her eating cats or something.
Whoa.
What does it say?
Stand-up comic Tamayo Otsuki eats cat alive in jungle
What the?
That's a video?
Don't play, don't play
I don't want to see it
I have three cats upstairs
I love cats
So what I'm saying, she told me that
And then obviously that's online
Can I defend her real quick?
What are you going to defend?
I swear to God there's McDonald's out there too.
I mean, she could just go there.
I know, but like, is it like out of a necessity thing
where she needs a protein
and she's just really like destitute somewhere
and the cat just happens to be a source of protein?
Is it one of those?
Or it's like, she has a thing for cats.
She was on Sunset though.
I know, what the hell?
Yeah, she saw her in LA, so she was visiting LA.
Yeah.
Maybe that's a bit.
She was Sam Kinnison's girlfriend. She was Sam Kinnison's girlfriend.
She was Sam Kinnison's girlfriend?
Yes.
I have to find this lady.
She lived in Crest Hill, which is the comedy store house
that people used to live in.
She's a legend.
If you go in the OR, you know those neon names
that are in the OR?
She's one of the names.
Wow.
Can we have a Tamayo Atsuki shrine in here?
I don't know yet.
Let's find out what happened to her first.
But my point is, is that, you know.
This is like the Wailing, dude.
There's like some kind of scary.
I love that movie.
I love that movie.
Some kind of scary.
Something scary.
But I think she'd be a great person to do a documentary on.
Andrew, you in?
I'm totally in.
I do, this is actually going back to the
heartfelt new generation thing.
I wanna give a shout out to all these people
because they let me open for them
and I do wanna say that I feel like
because we have a community,
hopefully we don't end up like that.
So thank you guys for being my friends
and looking out for me.
So Andrea has had this paranoia.
Every time I run into her, she always goes,
am I gonna end up like...
Actually, she has this fear.
So do you have a fear?
What's that about?
When I have that fear, it's whenever something like,
you know when you're flapping your wings?
It's whenever I break my wings.
Oh, you fear that.
Yes.
Yeah, yeah.
I thought you were gonna say,
every time I drive by a cat, my stomach growls.
It growls.
It growls.
It growls.
Yeah, but we still don't know what we don't know.
We don't know what we don't know,
but I wanna say something about Tamayo.
She was hilarious on stage, although she wore a kimono,
which was like, but she's from Japan, she had an accent.
And you know, Johnny Yoon and her really relied
on really old school accents to get laughs.
Wait, you said she had an accent already.
Yeah, but sort of Johnny.
But Johnny would accentuate his.
It's like his opening line was,
had all.
And they would get like a two minute applause break.
Damn.
Should do that. That's awesome.
They didn't need punch lines back then.
I miss that shit, dude.
I mean, kill!
Right in front of you!
I wanna like, I'm fucking going up in a Gi and shit next time.
Dude, I'll kill, bro.
Yeah. Yeah.
But being my age, I was, you know,
because I met Johnny Yoon too.
So it's like, I sort of was in between almost.
Like I kind of witnessed a little bit of that old school,
how they were treated.
You know, because I've, you know,
Geddy Watanabe, you know Geddy?
Yeah.
From, you know, he was long tuk-tung on 16 Candles. You know, because I've, you know, Geddy Watanabe, you know Geddy? Yeah. From long, you know, he was long took dong on 16 Candles.
You know, I've had conversations about him about,
I go, people make fun of you for doing 16 Candles.
He's like, that was the only audition we had in six years.
Of course we all wanted to do it
because it was the only thing available, right?
So you have to pay homage to these people,
these guys that did that for us.
You know, and it's like, I'm riding on your guys' coattails. I feel like I'm not old enough, right?
Where I'm like, I can't work. And I've been able to like, me and Margaret talk about, because
Margaret's working all the time, too, acting. She's doing film. We don't know what that's like.
We, you know, so it's like, we're now doing it. And we're like, thank God, we don't know what that's like. So it's like we're now doing it and we're like,
thank God we're still alive and still able
to take advantage of the change in Hollywood.
Can I ask you a question?
Yeah.
What is one thing that you think the new generation,
our generation, that annoys you,
that we wish we would do differently?
No, what do you mean?
I mean, nothing annoys me.
No, I look at you guys and I go, I get jealous
because it's like that's not my that's wasn't my experience. You know, my experience was,
you know, I remember I'm not gonna say who, but I was at the car. Yeah, no, you believe it.
So they know. Yeah, cover your mouth. You can't. You gotta blink all this.
This is like, I know. No, it's not't. You gotta blink all this. This is live.
No, it's not live.
I mean, for me.
Who the fuck is this, man?
That's true.
Put this in the Patreon.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, good.
You watch the show.
Dude, yeah.
Edit it.
This is the first time you get to see the little tidbit.
I'm here, y'all.
That was awesome.
So, shut up, go.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That was beautiful.
It was beautiful.
So, like, you know, there was like...
What, guacacos?
Guacos. Guacos. Guac yeah. That was beautiful. It was beautiful.
So like, you know, there was like,
would walk up to me and go, yo man,
Asians ain't funny, dude.
You guys aren't funny.
You guys don't have it.
That's funny.
Right, what?
And I would sit there, you know, I mean,
the comedy store patio,
what, in my 20s, you know what I mean?
And I go, I guess we don't.
You know what I mean?
But then I would go up on stage.
I remember one time, Jamie Masada, I was a kid,
and he put me after Rock and Martin Lawrence,
all these guys, and I show up, and I look at the lineup,
and I'm like, dude, like, I don't have a car,
like, I barely got here like I don't have a car, like I barely
got here. I can't even eat. And why'd you put me up after all these guys? And he goes,
I want to, you have to learn to do it. And I think you can. And so when I went up on
stage and I was able to get laughs after these guys, I was like, it was, you know, I'm glad
all that happened because it proved, it made me want to prove a point. And Joe Coy was like that too.
Joe was a beast, you know what I mean?
And we had to be funnier than everyone else
just to prove a point that like, you know,
we can get laughs without an accent
or without being funny looking or any of those things.
You know what I mean?
So it's like, and I think Margaret was our beacon.
Yeah, for sure. Margaret was our beacon. Yeah, for sure.
Margaret was the beacon.
Yeah.
She, without her, and also Steve Park a little bit,
because I love Steve Park as well.
You know him?
You ever see him in Living Color?
He was the Asian guy.
But he also was in, he's in Wes Anderson movies now,
but he was in Fargo, and he played that guy,
that Asian guy that meets Francis McDormand at the hotel.
I'm so lonely.
Yeah, I'm so lonely.
He kills it in that.
But you know, when I tell Steve, I go,
those parts and what you represented was everything
because you seem like somebody that was more like
my kind of Asian, that was just like American born.
We liked The Velvet Underground and Scorsese movies
and like normal shit.
And it's like, and I didn't get,
it's, yeah, I do accent sometimes,
but I think it's just, I was conditioned to do it, I think.
I think that's the most annoying thing that I see sometimes.
I don't know if you guys see this
in some of the people in our class where it's like,
you'll see somebody that was born in America,
that's Asian, and then when they get an opportunity
to write a script or do a joke,
they're wearing like a fucking barong,
or like, you know, and you're just like,
nah dude, you wore like fucking vans growing up,
like all of a sudden you have like,
you get into Hollywood and then you turn into Asian face
on top of your Asian face.
But don't you think it's changing?
I mean, you look at Sonny and Gene Hong and these guys.
It is changing, but I think the thing
that you have to be wary of though is,
I mean, you get this I think a lot, is it's like the first one through the wall always gets bloody and
then everybody else starts to just take your blood from you.
So like the biggest fear I hear is that I just hear everybody pitching, I want to do
a show where I don't talk about being Asian, but they're not ever pitching a show, they
just saw Sonny do it.
And I think that is the most annoying thing because like-
But I'm just happy Sonny did.
One of the most annoying things that have. But I'm just happy Sonny did. One of the most annoying things
that have happened to me recently is when,
a couple years ago I pitched a show
and the person that I was pitching it with,
when the show never got picked up.
And like admittedly, you know,
the pilot itself was not very strong.
Great show, great show though.
Yeah, great show.
But then when he got rejected, he was like,
I'm gonna put this tweet out.
Thankfully, I was like,
no, you're not gonna put that tweet out.
And he basically wanted to say and announce to the world
that HBO and all of these networks denied a queer Asian,
so and so, and he put up all his labels up front
as if the rejection was because he was Asian
and not because it just wasn't great.
And that sort of like really annoyed me
because I'm like, it sort of speaks to what you're saying
about like, hey, that doesn't need to be the label upfront.
Sometimes we just put out shit work and that's okay.
It doesn't need to be, the rejection isn't
cause we're Asian, it's just shitty. Yeah, I think also it's like this't need to be the rejection isn't cuz we're Asian. It's just shitty
Yeah, I think I think it also it's like this it's kind of like with that the note that you got from the catwoman is
Like what's her name?
Tomoya, it's okay catwoman. Oh my god
That's a good title for the doc yes
I'm writing it down at my new station.
I'm being real?
Yeah.
It's a great document.
I know, I'm on it.
I am on it.
Yeah, yeah.
If anyone steals my idea, this is on record.
You can play the penguin.
Wait.
Dan Rammus comedy.
Dan Rammus comedy.
How do you feel about switching?
Come on, Ria.
How do you feel about switching, buddy?
Dude, honestly, he'd kill it at the Penguin.
Yeah, thank you, Leslie.
For real.
For real for real.
Thank you, Leslie.
I don't think you would be mad to be cast as Penguin.
I think you'd be like that.
It's not that.
It's the way he said it.
You're right.
Because I know casting.
No.
Who would you be, bitch?
Who could be, Kik?
Who would you be?
Playface.
Yeah, all right.
What was the movie idea that you were trying to pitch me?
Are we going to do this?
I'm so confused.
Because I'm saying no.
Dude.
I'm not doing it.
My goose.
No, you don't even know.
Your goose?
My goose.
My goose.
My goose.
My goose.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Now it's coming.
Listen.
Dude.
You want to know?
I didn't want to know.
I don't want to get into it.
You're blowing this moment.
Let's go.
We're at the end.
Basically it's about the life of the first
Asian-American dude I want to Grammy Larry
Ramos, looks exactly like me.
Okay, he started off in the
60s
only Asian dude out of a folk band
of nine white folks, right?
He quits the band because he wants to take care of his family
Long story short, there's a scene of him
headlining the Playboy Club, Asian-American dude, Filipino
guy.
You know who was his opener?
Who?
Pat Morita.
Wow.
So, and I...
And you're going to do a whole movie about that one show?
I already wrote it, dude.
Yeah.
Bobby.
Yeah, yeah.
I already wrote it, dude.
Oh, that's the guy.
Wow.
Yo, type in Dan Ramos, Hilarion.
You don't look like him.
You don't look like him.
Dude, you know what his real name is? I shut the fuck up. don't look like him. Dude, you know what his real name is?
I shut the fuck up.
You know what his real name is?

Hilario.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Ramos.
Relax, dude.
Dude, I'm telling you.
I'm telling you right now.
Your energy right now, dude.
Out of pocket.
It's out of pocket, dude.
You're doing too much, dude.
My head is hot.
That's why.
I didn't want to get into the root.
It's a whole thing.
Anyway. Not a bad idea.'s a whole thing. Anyway.
Not a bad idea.
Not a bad idea.
We'll do this documentary first.
I do have a question for everybody, though.
All right.
But before we go, though, first thing, it's been long.
How long have we been in?
Almost two hours.
We've never done that before.
We've never done that.
We've never done that.
Yeah, yeah.
We've never done that.
Yeah, yeah.
I.
Do you want to switch Jason?
I have a question for everybody that I want an answer to.
So far in comedy, your journeys so far at this age,
what has been the lowest and highest point?
Ooh.
Should we start with Jason?
Your worst moment and then your most painful moment
in comedy so far.
I just want to say,
Jesus Christ.
I just want to say nobody has done more worst shows than I have in this room for sure.
Why do you say that?
There's no way.
Yeah.
Right?
That's not true at all.
I've done way worse.
No.
Why do you say it?
Because I'm like at laundromats.
I performed on top of a final place.
Yeah, I did Elks clubs.
I did fucking like old folks homes.
Tribble runs, do you know what those are?
Yeah, I did Tribble runs.
I've been in the back of the day when Tribble was a thing.
Yeah, I did it too.
All right, well then let's move on.
Wait, but Jason, high point.
Tiger belly.
Yeah. Oh my gosh, man. but Tiger Belly. Yeah!
Oh my gosh, man!
Wow.
I just want to, hold on, hold on.
I just want to say, um, but Ronnie Chang gave me an opportunity first.
Ronnie.
Ronnie.
Ronnie.
Ronnie.
Ronnie's the best.
Ronnie's the best.
Who is Bobby Lee?
But, but, but I just want to say, you for letting me open for you and also I feel
your love on the inside and it's an onion on the inside.
Let him go.
Bobby's the...
You feel Bobby on the inside?
Yeah.
You feel him?
You feel him inside of you?
His soul and it's an onion.
I don't understand what the fuck is happening here.
Like you're not like this at all.
I know.
When you're not.
I know exactly.
Andrew call it out.
Call it out.
Call it out.
Like did you take too much Adderall?
Like what's, you're not like this at all.
I'm just trying to say a true thing in my heart.
You said the highest point of your career is tiger belly.
You're like totally being so weird right now.
No, no, no.
That is true because this is a really nice thing that-
You know what I see something born here?
What?
A war between you two.
Dude, I'm going to fuck you.
I'm going to fuck you.
I see a war.
Bro, I tell you what, dog.
Next time you see me at an audition, stay in your car, dog.
Oh, oh, you're're gonna get it this guy!
I'm joking I love it. Jason Chay is my favorite comic.
He knows this. Thank you for letting me open for you Jason.
No but really I'm trying to be sincere.
I know you are.
And I really really appreciate it.
We're gonna get you in front of more cameras so you're better in front of cameras.
You are the funny one.
Whoa, those are fucking war words.
I do, we're in a room full of...
Alright, alright.
Dude.
You're right, shut up man.
It's weird though.
Bobby, Bobby, switch it.
Yeah, go ahead Dan.
When can we switch?
So I can get closer to you.
No, you don't get to switch.
I don't think that's happening today.
You're not gonna get closer to me dude.
We, yeah, this is get closer to me, dude.
We are, yeah. This is as close as you get, dude.
You want to go, no, we're not switching, dude.
I want to feel your knees.
No, no, no, we're not doing that. We're not doing that.
Yeah, we're not doing that. So let's plug everyone.
Wait, hang on. I want to hear everyone.
Leslie, Leslie.
Lowest and highest point in your career thus far.
My lowest will help redeem Jason Chenney.
Jason Chenney let me open for him one night.
He was headlining and no one was there to see me.
They were there to see him.
I did very poorly where someone in the show heckled me
and said, your jokes aren't good.
Like verbatim, not a boo.
He was like, your jokes are bad.
And I was like, wow, dude. Yeah, were they?
No.
Okay, okay, good, good, good.
In my opinion, no.
You're great.
Thank you.
So it was so bad and I felt so upset that I was ruining the show for Jason, because it
was not my show, it's Jason's show.
And I'm like, I'm ruining this night.
This is terrible.
And I apologized to you and you're like, don't worry about it.
And then Jason, he was not my show it's Jason's show and I'm like I'm ruining this night this is terrible and I um apologized to you and you're like don't worry about it and then Jason one up
go there and bomb no no no no no no no you went up and everyone you fixed it like I was like
there's no coming back from from what I just did like I I just annihilated the play in a bad way
there's no one can save this and you, you did an hour and also defended me.
And you were like, no to the crowd.
Jason Chenney, baby, Jason Chenney.
Jason said to the heckler, he was like,
what the fuck did you say to my friend?
Who are you?
But in a cool way.
So, and then crushed it.
Okay.
So that was-
That I don't believe.
Cut that out, cut that out. Cut that out.
Highest point.
That's it. What's the highest point?
Highest point, honestly, not to steal Jason's, but like the fact that you even know who we are.
Take it, Bobby.
Like, no, no. And I've been getting, you know, messages like Ronnie Chang is so nice. Like,
I feel like Ronnie Chang, Jimmy, Ali, dare I say Ali Wong.
Like giving blessings is like, I don't even know. You know what I mean? Like if they even
know who we are, that's very, very cool. And you are very nice to me even though one time,
one time.
Oh, here we go.
I just want to be a bit.
Let's go, be real. Can I just be honest? Here we go, here we go. I just wanna be real.
Let's go, be real.
Can I just be honest?
Here we go, let's go.
It's her birthday, it's her birthday.
You're so kind to me, even though one time
in the main room, green room, you did tackle me.
Oh my God.
That's weak.
Wait, wait, wait.
I know that's probably, it probably comes off as a negative,
but he only does that to people he really likes.
He's comfortable with.
And that's how I interpreted it.
That's what it was.
There's no interpretation.
You immediately started wrestling me to assert dominance,
which I respect.
And I want you to know I respect that.
Especially with female comics, Candice Thompson.
It's like you do that kind of arm.
He does like the...
It's like a fake, it's kind of like a little wrestling.
Jitsu, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's more of fake, it's kind of like a little wrestling. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's not a, it's more of a playful thing though.
Yeah, but I feel like you only do that to women.
I kick you.
I only kick you.
Like he actually assaults you, Dan.
Let me say, if I don't like you, I don't fuck with,
there's no eye contact, there's nothing.
It's true.
Right, you know, I fuck with people I like.
I mean, I like everyone in this room. I don't think there's no eye contact, there's nothing. It's true. Right? You know, I fuck with people I like.
I mean, I like everyone in this room.
I don't think that's true.
What do you mean, what do you mean?
No, because we were at the...
I...
Why do you do this?
Well, I just want to be an authentic person as well.
Go ahead.
Sorry.
Yeah, go ahead.
We were at the hotel with Andrea
and then there was like a bunch of people.
You were so nice to all your fans.
Very good.
Yes, but the thing is like you were, you wanted to leave.
I could tell in your face.
That's also true.
But then you didn't, you didn't like do anything to like tell them to go away.
And then I didn't know if it was my place to be like, Oh, should I tell them to go away?
Because you wanted to go to sleep.
So I just want to say that you'd fuck with people that you don't like too.
No, stop, stop, shut the fuck up for a second.
You know, honestly dude, I was fearing Dan Ramos.
It's you're the one.
You're the one I shouldn't have invited.
You're the one that should have sat there, all right?
You have no idea what the fuck you're talking about.
You know what I mean?
You're like, the gum to tooth ratio in your mouth
is too fucking fucked up, right?
Switch that around, right?
Close your fucking mouth once.
What the hell?
I'm sorry, sorry.
Here's what I want to tell you, Jenny.
Which is not it.
Is that when it comes to Asian comics
is what I meant to say, not fans.
Let's move on.
Go ahead, Dan.
High and low, Dan. High and lows.
Oh my God.
Oh, when I first got the red light at Yuck Yucks,
that destroyed me in like 2004 from Canada.
And then I didn't do standup for like three years.
Oh, man.
But I did like second city stuff in Toronto.
So that was like a low life, but I kind of.
You get laid.
Like, what are we talking about?
Do you wanna?
Are we talking machines or real people?
I do.
I do.
I do.
I met you when your girlfriend was at the show
that you were with for Bobby.
Yes.
You're at.
Yeah, yes.
So yeah, you do.
And you do.
You do.
Remember that time?
Okay, so Bobby invited me to Tiger Radio
like three years ago. He popped out of nowhere do. Remember that time? Okay, so Bobby invited me to Tiger Bay like three years ago.
He popped out of nowhere.
But at that time I was talking to this lady at the store.
Anyway, it ended up like she wanted to bring me home.
So we go home and then I realized she was an alcoholic.
And then when we were about to go to bed,
she's like, put on Curb.
I'm like, you want to make love while we watch Curb?
So we do it.
And then the episode was with Bobby Lee.
The hot dog one?
Yeah, or the one with the Korean bookie.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So as I was doing this to her, she's like, Bobby!
I'm like, yeah, I know.
Next.
Next, we'll move on.
That's your low point?
Okay, the highest point?
No!
That wasn't a low point.
That was his high.
That was like even.
Okay, honestly, this is the highest point of my life.
I never knew Holly would get happened, but I was in a room, pilot season, with me and, this is the highest point of my life. I never knew Hollywood could happen,
but I was in a room pilot season with me
and Donald Faison for the role of lead of an ABC sitcom.
Yeah, and you tested?
Tested, yeah.
Wow, you didn't get it.
Obviously, no, no.
But that got me meetings in general.
But that like shocked me.
I'm like, I went off book on Valentine's Day.
You know, you're the most castable person in this room.
There's just something about you that's so interesting.
Go check out Phantom Pups on Netflix right now and play one of the leads, okay?
And Ramos Comma.
You know what you just did, dude?
You tried to fucking exert your fucking mark.
I didn't like it.
We're going to cut that part out.
Don't watch pups.
No!
Wait, it's good dude.
Andrea, eyes on low.
Okay.
I think my lowest was,
oh, I was going from Kansas City to, I forgot.
It's okay, make up a time.
Illinois, somewhere.
I decided not to fly and I took a train and bus.
Wow.
It took 12 hours and it was the,
I thought I was gonna get killed.
Yeah. Yeah.
And I was alone by myself, like, yeah, it was,
I got to the show and-
College.
No, it was a club.
Wow.
Oh wait, it was Indianapolis.
The shows were great, but it's just-
Trackers.
What club?
What was the club?
Indianapolis.
Okay. And then-
Did this even happen?
This happened.
No detail.
I was scared.
Like, I was really scared. it was just a lot of you know
men that were like they look scary I've done exactly what you did yeah but
being a girl on the train and then a bus for 12 hours it's a completely different
experience that's so scary yeah I was really scared and I was like I can't believe I put myself in this situation
Like it was so stupid. But yeah, it was 12 hours. That's your best. Oh
Yeah, okay. My best was
Getting to open
At Radio City
Barani. Yeah. Wow. That's incredible. Yeah, because I felt like, oh, okay, this
feels opposite of 12 Hour Bus. That's how she opened the show. It is the opposite of it. Ronnie really loves you, huh? Yeah.
Yeah. Interesting. We talked about betrayal. No, there's no betrayal here because she's already, you know, she's one of those people that are like, she plays both sides.
Whoa.
And I like that.
Yeah.
Go ahead.
What do you mean I play both sides?
You know what I'm talking about.
You fucking weasel.
Go ahead.
My lowest is like, it's probably a retroactive lowest, but it's like, I think my first couple of years,
I would skip my friend's weddings and birthdays
back in Iowa to do things that were selfishly,
I thought were big in comedy, and I regret that.
Like, and I look back on that and I like,
I remember going to like a comic that was bigger than me
and it was actually just a bigger open mic-er
and think that his birthday party
was where I was gonna make it
and start one of my friend's wedding.
And that was like a thing when we were starting,
you just wanted everyone to like you.
I can understand that though,
cause you're just so career-minded
and you have no plan B,
that's like this is the only way out.
A woman that saved my life, Lauren Dabrowski,
she passed away and I did a movie, independent movie,
instead of going to her fucking funeral.
I still regret it to this day.
Right.
Yeah, anyway.
It goes back to what you were saying
about trying to like doing too much.
It's, I was doing too much.
And then the high point is I met Joe Coyote
at a Filipino restaurant and I was an open micer
with nothing and I saw him walk in.
I just told him it was my favorite comic
when I was growing up and then he asked me
to come on tour with him and my high point is just sitting on the bus,
sitting with Joe Coy and he was my friend.
And that was awesome.
That's incredible.
It's kind of like, it's so funny how like they say like success is like when opportunity like meets like preparation.
And it's like you had done all the work and then now you meet, you just happen to meet Joe Koy, like the biggest Filipino comic. I mean, I was camping outside the Filipino restaurant
for years waiting for him to walk in.
I'm joking, I'm joking.
Honestly though, that's something I would do.
So if there's a young comic that wants to meet Joe Koy,
go to the Filipino events.
There's strategy involved.
I'm joking, I'm joking.
It was Max's.
Yeah, it was Max's, but yeah, it totally.
And I think, you know, but it's like what you you're saying like I think you guys had to go through something that was so hard and so I like a
Harder time than we did and I we you know
We I I appreciate I think that all of us do appreciate you and Joe giving it back to us
Bobby your highest and I don't want to do it because I have to go watch doing too
It's good, dude, just say your lowest
When you were like, I've had so many lows,
I don't even know what the fuck to say.
I've had so many fucking lows.
Right.
You know what I mean?
I can't even, and I've had so many highs,
I can't categorize them, right?
But that's life.
When you decide to have a big life
and you take risks,
you're gonna have high lows, high bigs, big highs.
All of it, you know what I mean? And you're gonna have high lows, high bigs, big highs, all of it.
And you're gonna go up and down, down,
side, side, side, round, round, round, you know?
Bobby, that's why you feel like this.
Yeah, that's why I feel like this.
But here's the thing, the moral of the story is this,
because I gotta go watch Dune II now,
or is this, is you don't quit.
You don't quit. That's it.
I know dudes.
So that documentary I did back in the day
when I was starting, you know,
that I have that clip on Instagram of me waiting tables.
All those, if you see the whole documentary,
there's a bunch of young guys in it.
They're all gone.
Let's go.
You know, they're all gone because they stopped.
I'm just the only one that was dumb enough to go,
oh, I guess I'll keep going.
And just weather all the bullets. Pah, p don't give a fuck. I'm not stopping.
People try to cancel me, I fuck it.
I'm stopping, I'm not stopping.
I'm bad built.
Wow.
