Start recording everything you look like a silly Billy right now
Well, I'm just being a little bit silly. No, I really need you to take that bandana. I really like it
I love how you attack me for the bandana, but not for it the guy in the other top corner wearing those glasses. Oh
Always shift in the
Focus you almost got away with that. You wait a second. What's up cyberpunk Bobby? Did you?
Reeves
Wait, now that I think about it did you steal George's look that's it. Oh my god. Oh, this is not gonna be a good one. Now
Oh
Fuckin
I
Three five four three two one. It's why somebody's in a good mood. His name is Gilberg. He's got a flat place
He's got a flat face flat
Mmm
Macaroni, yeah
Andrew Santino is calling me going. Can I do an Asian accent anymore? I don't know. I don't know
I said go ahead. I give you the I give you the green light. You have to pass Asian accent it up
Welcome to another episode of the TV
It's not a disease
It's your friendly neighborhood
Podcasts. Oh speaking of tuberculosis. They're doing this small study with
People in third-world countries who receive the BCG shot, which is we get it is my favorite Korean pop group by the way
But they're saying that
There might be a link between those who receive like me, you know how we always get the little keloid and thing in our on our
arm here and it's the BCG shot that we got in the fucking 80s in the Philippines and there could be a link between that and some type of like
immunity to
Corona, but they don't know yet. They're still doing I was worried about where that was going
I was scared. We're gonna go in a Vanti Vax or rant right now
No, cyberpunk. We're not doing that cyberpunk. No way. Oh, I don't know that we're in the year
2055 brother. Hey, remember the movie demolition man. Oh, I love that movie. Is that George?
Yeah, that's demolition man. That's
Sylvester Stallone, right? Yeah, and Sandra Bullock and Sandra and Wesley Snipes was was he in it?
Was Rob Schneider in that one?
I don't remember him. I think Rob Schneider did do a Sylvester Stallone movie. I
Just did a wet fart just now. Hey, I just did one. Sorry, my bad. There's only one line
I remember from demolition man when they're going through like I think it's like a marketplace or something like that and
In the ordered food and I say what is that and the lady was like and she goes she goes something about
carne de rata like rat meat. Yeah, and I thought
Oh, yeah, wasn't it correct sir? He was. Thank you. Um, I want to address a couple of things before we begin if I may
Thank you so much for the support from I think it was last week's episode. Was that the one
Last week episode. It was a it was a wild ride, baby. It's a wild ride. Wild ride
Um, I know that we got a lot of positive emails and I appreciate those emails. We also got a lot of negative ones
Oh, we got a lot of a a lot of hate as well. Yeah, and I think that
Kaleila got the brunt of it, you know, Kaleila got a lot of really nasty comments
not just on her social media, but on her on family and friends social media
I've had people call me go what the fuck happened and whatnot and there was a lot of there's a section of Tiger Belly fans
that don't agree with what we
said last week and and and and they spewed a lot of
hatred toward my my girlfriend
And I just have a message for you
It's a dear message from my heart and I love you and
No, so there's papaya to you and I hope you have a big life
Yum yum a fulfilled a fulfilled life, and I hope you have love and happiness down the road
Please don't listen anymore
Don't listen anymore
to us
If you don't like what we have to say, you don't agree with us. You don't have to um rip us apart
Yeah, I'm saying this in a mindful very
Authentic way. I love you, and I wish you a lot of joy and happiness
It sounds passive-aggressive. Is it your smile is scaring me a little. Yeah, I want to kiss your eyeballs
If I saw you on the street, I'll kiss your eyeball like that and Corona. Yeah, we're not Corona
You know Corona free Corona free eyeball. Yeah, I'll give you a side hug
You're not for frontal but side and go good luck, buddy the ass out hug, but yeah, um
You know if you're gonna just
Say vile fucking things and and you think that we are
weak
Because of our position then I honestly, you know, there have been discussions vague ones about should we even?
stop doing this because it just got kind of out of control and
Yeah, I just I
Didn't start this podcast to go to war with people. I did it because I like
having fun and playing around and I like talking with my friends and this is just a medium that um, I
I've always enjoyed
I've enjoyed doing the radio shows on the road. I've enjoyed
You know friendly light banter, and I like being silly Billy
Because Papa silly Billy, but I think that's what's the problem right is that because we are always so
Silly on here and last week wasn't silly. So, you know, I don't give a shit
Well, I don't give a shit. I
Don't give a shit man. Hey, I don't give a shit. All right
You know we said what we said because we believe what we said. All right, did we misspeak?
We didn't know we did. I don't think we did no
I mean like if it's like if you look at it from
Like that's the thing like anything that you say in the moment without letting time pass
There's a good chance that it will not age. Well, like there like you can look at everything
I said and still pick it apart. I can look at things
I said and pick it apart and say, you know what? I should have said this this way
This is actually what I meant. I should have written it down been more eloquent
I should have like taken the time and you know to do all of that. Yeah, like I I
Think that's the problem about speaking about things as they're happening is
You don't have full agency yet of your
Feelings or thoughts because it feels like one scrambled thing up there
But but with that said like I could have said a lot of things better, but I'm not I'm not gonna walk back
How I felt don't walk back. Don't walk back, baby. Let's smile. Don't walk back. All right. So last night
I
So last night
You know my brother
You know, he expressed the kind of love for me that I've never felt before in my life
So last night my brother and I you know, we we logged on to warzone and we did duos and
and um, you know, we we got to the the final circle and
I
Killed four guys in a row
You know and my brother said
mom
I've never been so proud of you of my life. Wow. He goes. I love you. So he was crying
He goes, I love you so much
All right, you're doing it man. You're doing it, right? And now I'm
Cuz I'm in I'm in it. You don't like that. You don't like it. You don't like you don't like
You know, I had to concentrate because you know, you know, you're the finals, you know, the final
Final sir. It's small right the smoke's coming in, right? My mask my gas mask breaks
Yeah, right breaks, right and then like, you know, I mean, I have three bullets, right and a bazooka one missile
And I'm going around and I you know, wait, I have a question when you are in your final circle
Let's say your brother is telling you all of that like is he when you're in the gulag. Can you still see what your teammates are doing?
Yes, so you can see what your teammates are doing. My brother's dead. What it does is your screen switches on to my point of view
Okay, right. So my brother's not playing anymore. So now he's watching me play
Spectrum he's seeing what I'm seeing right emotional. Yeah, so he's watching every move what all the things so a lot of times
It's like, what are you doing? You mean don't hide underneath that dumpster or whatever I might be. Oh, sorry, Remy
But this time it was like in tears. I've never seen him like this
I love you so much. I'm so proud of you. What are you Rambo? He kept saying Rambo
and I go
and
Obviously we got third place very good for duos, but you know, you've played with me before on that game
We've won we won one yesterday. We won a couple days ago. We won. Yeah, and I get what?
One kill two kills. Maybe one or two kills, right?
But to do six right and get to that final circle was a big achievement because
For the first 50 games I played and each game takes about what 30 minutes sometimes sometimes in 45 minutes. Yeah, right?
I'll get one kill or but my kill death ratio is zero because I've died twice as more than I've killed
But in the last week or two, I'm now beginning to
If I already call it offset that ratio because I'm now figuring it out, but Katie. Yeah, it was a
really good brotherly
Bonding experience last night and it's the only time I get to hang out with my brother, you know, so it is um
And he makes he makes me laugh. Does he not make you laugh? He's very funny. He's very cowardly
He's very in the gutter. Bob. Should we just stay at the basement?
I
Support it. I know I support it. So my what my brother likes to do is he likes to go. Okay. Um, see this house here
Let's just hang out in the basement all game
And you're like, yeah, but we want to go out and kill people. No, they'll come to us
So we'll sit there for 30 minutes
Sometimes we'll spray paint because you can spray paint in the game. We'll spray paint like what are you spray painting?
You can spray paint like little
Pictures and different things. I also had another question about the game when you're ready and then so my brother, okay?
So, um guys, we'll just sit here
And we just sit there and we'll spray paint each other for like 20 solid minutes. Nothing going on. No shooting, right?
And that's a bonding experience. Yeah, but then you'll go, but I hear footsteps and then we'll get on our bellies and get ready
You know me, but that's the way my brother likes to play what I begin beginning to do is go um, all right, let's go get after them
Oh
You haven't played more aggressive. It's very more aggressive now. Very aggressive. Am I not you?
But isn't the first of the fight the bloodiest first one to the fight is the bloody in any war
Yeah, that's that actually sounds legit what you just said right but before right so you have this map
What we what I would do is okay guys, um, let's go to the very edge of the map where no one's gonna be
Right, but now I'm going or let's land where everyone else is landing
Right and Gilbert. I have to say you're very good at the game you too, sir
I'm my question you too, sir. Thank you now. My question is I know that you've spent some money on your
Outfits $800, baby. Oh
No, you didn't
Bleep that part out eight dollars eight dollars, baby
Okay, so would you say that a change and how many outfits does that buy I want to know it's not outfits
What you're okay, so what what you buy is you buy looks so there's what I don't know 16 characters
But each character has a different clothing
Apparatus, okay, so my question was is it a morale boost and when you put on a new look
Do you feel like you play better?
No, but I I play through the character. See my brother just doesn't have any really doesn't care about his look
So he just the game just generates a certain look for him. So one game. He's just like a standard white soldier
Yeah, right, but for me
Oh, yeah, the girl I play, you know shop on Melrose Nike yoga pants, you know, she does, right?
Yeah, she has nice shoes. She does she has a hat. She's got you know, I want him to look good
You know, I have another guy that looks like Sasha Baron Cohen. You know, I mean, oh, yeah
Yeah, the most guy. Yeah, he's got like, you know, I mean a red beautiful turban and scarves. I like the scarves
You have the black number Jack. It I have the black lumberjack
Yeah, that's cool. Yeah, cut off. Is that idea of like cut off flannel? No, I think it's full full
It's full. He look he's got a be a cut off flannel is more punk. Yeah, he looks real nice
And if I'm gonna die I want I want to die looking good
That's it. I think it also like my brother in terms of fashion
Like I'll go to uh, sometimes we'll go to a nice store a club like a shoe store
It gets something nice. I have a little I got a little extra money. You want a shoe?
Because no, Bob, I like the shoes that I have which is he always loves brown
skater shoes
And they just look standard brown
you know, I couldn't I couldn't think of
A pair of brothers more
dissimilar
than you and Steve
He is so meticulous in the way that he lives like it's borderline
OCD like even though he keeps a lot of things in a small space
Everything is neatly placed. Everything has its space. He only has like he he knows what he's gonna wear for Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday
It's all laid out in front of him. And he's just very
Not wasteful like he will eat whatever is in his fridge and he will eat the leftovers
him
It was like they were raised by two completely different people two completely different families
Yeah, nowhere near each other. Yeah
Like if a bagel has been in the fridge for three days
You know what I mean? I'll I'll touch it and go it's stale
It's it's a problem that we've been having in this house because like he he does not eat any leftovers at all
like he
He just doesn't think that it gets he gets it in his head, but then how I'll be passive aggressive too like I'll will be um
She'll cook something up, right?
And I'll know deep in my heart that the rice seems old. It's not old. I know I know I know but not not fresh
Right, it's just to hear me out and I'll and I'll say something like I want to say this is what I want. I want to say
Is this used rice?
That's been in the fridge, but that's not how it comes out. It comes out weird. It comes out. Hmm
This right is interesting. It tastes very interesting. What'd you get it from and cloud?
You know what that means, right when you hear that? Oh immediately like I I I like walk out of the dining room
She gets to rage because he doesn't understand that
Fried rice is best with older rice because it's a little drier. Yeah, you cannot make garlic rice
Unless it's cool. You can't make it with the hot rice out of the rice cooker. It's too sticky
So you got to wait it out a bit. I promise you it's better that way or like day old spaghetti the best
My parents were like this if you didn't finish your cereal
They would I've said this before they would pour the cereal back into the box with the milk in
Like all soggy. Yeah, that's that's very good. So the next day, right next day like like if you didn't finish your meal
Right, like I went I'm full
I'll tell you a story. I was at hamburger helmet once
What's that hamburger hamlet is we used to be my favorite hamburger restaurant in la hamburger hamlet
It's called hamburger hamlet and I I remember I I remember first moving to la and it was kind of pricey
But I remember getting like a comedy store check and I'm like, you know, I'm gonna splurge on hamburger hamlet
Because it was a sit-down kind of fine dining hamburger place
I remember one time I saw david spade there and I bragged I saw I ate by davids
I called people from back home. I ate with david spade, you know, I don't ask her whatever
So I remember sitting there at hamburger hamlet once
And there was a rich father. He might probably was an agent because I think a pa the agency was in that building
Right, and I remember he was with his son. His son must have been eight years old and I was like a table away
and
The kid goes he didn't even touch his hamburger
And his dad goes, um, timmy
Finish your hamburger. You don't like it. No
timmy said
and
His dad goes, well, what do you what do you want to eat and timmy goes? I want spaghettis
And timmy and the dad goes, okay. Well when we get home, we'll have mom
um
Make a spaghetti for you
And they left the restaurant the hamburger was still sitting there
Right and I remember thinking to myself
If I did that to my dad, you know, I mean, I want spaghettis
My dad would go, okay. You'll have a spaghetti
But you're gonna finish that hamburger and now
If I didn't eat that hamburger there, we would have taken home
If that night I didn't eat that hamburger the next meal is that hamburger hamburger. Yeah makes sense
Right. I could spend five days and not eat that hamburger. Whatever I put on my body
Has to be that hamburger. You better eat at the first night and that's how my parents were
Well, they were very frugal with food. I don't think it's also frugality. It's like it's it's honestly
It pains me when I see large portions of food being thrown and kind of just disregarded because number one an animal has died
Right. I understand. I understand. I understand. It's just wasteful like all those resources that that that that it takes to
Make bread that it takes to fucking harvest your avocado. How much water goes into that like all of that?
I like but you understand my justification though that's saying that thinks because the argument of the animal's dead, right?
I know it's dead and an animal died
But if I that hamburger was already in the restaurant in the freezer or wherever it might be
I kill no cow
You're not getting I know I know but that's my thinking. I understand that I understand the thinking
I understand the thinking but this is my justification
I don't kill no cow now. I understand it in a different way
I understand it as you probably hated those experiences with your parents that you've gone the complete opposite way
Not because you don't care about an animal or you don't care about being wasteful
But because you just don't care to have similar experiences because they might have been traumatic to you at some point another
Okay, another thing
Is I remember back in the day
We had video game consoles as kids, right? They're not as
sophisticated
But my parents would never buy me one
Hey dad, can I get you know a Sega or whatever it might be been back then no
Do your homework?
Yeah, yeah, that's what I grew up with I couldn't get the only thing that I could get is I had a blockbuster
Membership and on the weekends my parents allowed me to go and rent two or three movies
Oh, so that's where I saw like
You know taxi driver or whatever I consumed back then, you know, I think that that's why I never got into like gaming
um, we just had
Donkey Kong and tetris and it was on a game boy
That was like a fucking third hand game boy that we got from like a cousin of a cousin
And we all had to rotate it around the family like who got the game boy that night
Yeah, and that went on until like my adulthood like I never had and I was never gifted a game console
Like never once never I didn't even have a computer until I was I didn't have my own computer
Until I was my second year of college third year of college. I think I was already 20
I didn't have a computer in high school. So what I would do was I would I
I if I knew someone with a computer whether it was my neighbor or like a family friend
I would have them print out stuff for me and then they would either
Drive it over because we didn't have a car or I would take the bus there and then take it at night
And then turn my stuff in if it had to be or I would go to the library
um, so it wasn't available to us it was I also went to Blair high school and we didn't have the
We didn't have just available computers for our students at that time. Yeah, so I wanted to equate it back to my brother. Now my brother
Let's go back to my brother. Yeah. All right. And the reason why I am the way I am and my brother is the way he is
My brother takes after my dad in many ways
My father wore bright blue golf pants. He looked like Papa Smurf
Papa Smurf but Korean. Yeah every day. He would wear these light blue golf pants, right sandals
Right and like a blue polo
Like an old school blue polo and that's all he wore. I love that look. It's a good look. It's a very good look, you know and
My brother and my dad also
Used to live now he we had stores all over the country like clothing stores
So he had one up in Sacramento. So he would drive from San Diego
And spend a week in Sacramento. So he had an apartment
And he would do that every other week. So he had an apartment in Sacramento
My brother went to Sacramento one time with him and he described to me what my dad's apartment looked like
And there was no furniture at all
Right. No couch. No bed
Just a stove in the corner of the room
Right and uh, you know an old school Korean kind of bamboo mattressy kind of thing
A pillow and a blanket. That's all that was in that apartment
You know and my in many ways my brother takes after my where my mom is different
She'll just wake up
I want a gazebo
Jesus
She said that once she woke up one day and she goes $5,000. Yeah, I want the gazebo and koi fish and my dad's like no
I want one
Right and then next to you know
There's people building a gazebo with a koi fish thing, right?
Just because my mom had this inclination or this, you know, she just wants it. So that's you that's my mom
I want the red corvette
Jesus, you guys had a corvette. Yes, my mom broke around in a red corvette. I want one
I want the red corvette and she got one
I didn't I have the same kind of thing. I think honda cords honda civics to you for sure
You for sure um take after your mom
Absolutely. Yeah. Um, so do you think that
Like when you're when your brother speaks about your dad, he he's he's very tender about it
Like he has a really deep emotions for your father. Do you think that he was closer to your to your dad than you were?
No, but I think that my my brother um was too young to really fully appreciate
The the and oh god, this pisses me fucking off when people say this and here I go back into the anger
All right, careful. Be happy. I'm gonna be happy when I do it, right?
But people go, you know, Bobby plays the victim all the time
Oh
The face that's the face
That's the face
Hello
What no
Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. No
All right, I
You know what there are things that happen to me that I can't even talk about baby
There are things and you know all the fucked up things I've said in my life, right? That's all public too
I've sucked dick as a kid. I was molested. My dad would be all that's not even the worst part
The worst parts I can't even say baby
You know what I mean? It's worse than having firecrackers in your butthole and lighting mom at the same times
That's kind of erotic
Yeah, yeah, who did that happen to so what I'm saying is is that my brother was too young
To experience, you know, my dad's heyday back in the day, you know, I mean when he was at the top of his abuse game
Damn, you're the best. Yeah. Yeah
He was the tom Brady of you know, I mean of abusing his family, you know a star. Yeah
Yeah, he was killing it back then his stats were way up
You know, my brother, you know, I mean grew up with my dad when his stats were he was coming down, you know a little bit
He was a kind of like Rob Grankowski still, you know
I I'm gonna text your mom and and about her corvette. I love Rob. By the way, and thanks for watching came on 8 p.m
CBS
Sometimes, you know
So another thing I want to now let's go back to let's talk about what's been going on in our lives as late
Oh, yeah, as of late. Hold on. I'm texting your mommy
I'm gonna ask her about her corvette a red corvette. Wow your dad agreed to it without argument
Yeah, that's
A red corvette
I read
Was she a fan of prince
I don't know. Was she a prince fan. No, she doesn't have a princess. Kalala. What cars did your parents have growing?
What cars do you?
Oh my god, you guys
No, no, no, no, this is the kind of fucking fucked up shit. My dad would do so my dad
You know, he used to work for the us government. That's sort of how he ended up in the philippines
There's still a lot of like a lot of like hazy details there regarding like what he actually did there
But um, he wanted to be um undercover
So we most of my life, we didn't have a car. We had a fake taxicab
Did you know this? No, you did? Yeah, and then that's the best in your garage
Yeah, and we had um, we had a taxicab drive a driver named Sidro who was always fucking drunk
I'm telling you and he would fill the tiny sedan with diesel
Like that's how drunk he was sometimes like we knew Sidro. Like that's the wrong kind of gas
I remember always like having to remind him like we had to get unleaded
And um, that was my dad's vibe like he was a weird fucking guy like my dad would
Come back from a fucking voyage on his shipping vessel
And be like hey guys, I found this um a monitor lizard
You know and he kept it in like a back house
And my sister went back there when she was like six years old and my sister
Completely almost severed my sister's finger and she had to get her finger almost like reattached
And we had this fucking monitor lizard that we would have to feed
Like chicken scraps from like our dinners every night. He built a whole home for it
And
That's that was my dad. He we had a taxicab and a monitor lizard. No, that's not your dad
That is your dad, but you know who else is like that? Who you?
If you saw a monitor lizard, you would probably know I wouldn't take it out of the wild
Guess what new pet we have
I hope it's not a freaking crow or something. We have a fucking crow living with us now
That's a crow lady. You're one of those bird ladies. I'm gonna defend myself
I'm gonna defend my fucking crow, baby
That's not I'm gonna defend myself
It's I have not brought the crow in I feel like that's fucked up. You did propose the idea. I didn't propose it. I would never do that
false accusations
She goes she was it kind of in mulling it over in her head like
You were like I can't actually bring it inside. Can I you know like that kind of a thing? I wanted to splint its leg
So it has a broken leg it landed in our balcony because it's been windy around here
We have a lot of crow families here and crow families are really really tight knit
So if they have an injured family member, you always see him like squawking around kind of keeping eye on that injured family member
Well, that's what happened yesterday
There was an injured crow and I thought okay. Well, he's probably just going to shake off the
Whatever his leg and then launch go back around. Well, the injured crow is still with us. I have
given
Jules and I have fed
um eggs
Cat kibble
Not just not just eggs. We've given him a bird bath or maybe it might be a girl and um, we've um
You made it a birdhouse
I saw Bobby that I saw a picture. Yeah, I did
Yeah, I'm not I'm not
Opposed the idea of living with a fucking crow your face says otherwise
I know my face says otherwise
So we now have a fear that this flightless crow is now just going to live
In our balcony and not rejoin the family. So we've been really delicate about it. We called the wildlife rescue out here
She boiled an egg
She boiled an egg
You build a house out of fucking cardboard that took three minutes
You boiled eggs. You give her like you you
Not just fruit mongol. We have we don't have a lot of fruit
We get fruit shipped here like not just an a red delicious apple. We get asian apples
Asian pear. Yeah, you do. I do. Yeah, you do
We have I get a csa box from the farmers market
Okay, but they're like they're they're exotic fruits and she does. Yeah, she does. Yeah, she does
I gotta know if these are exotic
She doesn't throw out a peach out there. They're not asian pears. She doesn't throw out a peach
Like shishimi slices them perfectly
Dices them up, right? All right chef. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah
On a plate, right? She'll dice it and make it all have the water
Eggs fruits like omakase for a bird. Yeah. Yeah, like, you know multigrain breads
I mean, she's she's it's basically the four seasons for this
He may never fucking leave. No, here's my I'm gonna defend myself again and say that
I am thinking about it from an injury perspective. He's going to need protein to heal
His broken leg and I I don't overfeed by the way. I have I feed at a certain time
And I hope that it's just enough to last him through that day because if you overfeed then then he'll never leave
I believe
fear
If right if the crow felt fear and urgency
To get out of there
Right, he'll leave sooner. He's been trying so if we tapped on right if I held the cat
Tapped on the fucking no, don't give him food or water tapped on a thing and I I'll go
two days
I looked at the crow looks at me. I go you have two days
before
the cat the cat
That the crow would start doing exercises
To get a shit you're working out to get a shit ready to go physical therapy. Yeah, but we're not doing that. Are we no
No, we're like I built I built a bed. I took an old I took a skateboard t-shirt
I built a little bed and made it a little house and we have all these things that motherfucker ain't leaving for shit
Well, here's the thing I did find out about crow. So I I spent all day
That's why I had to cancel our meetings yesterday and we canceled everything yesterday's because
You were dealing with the crow. It was it was a day dedicated to to Leonard. We named her or he
Who names the crow?
It's Leonard
Why Leonard? You really name something if you're gonna see it again
No, that's not true. Yeah, look listen for a second. So
I've been reading a lot about Bobby shut up. Okay. Watch listen to this madness
Galalia the floor listen to the madness. Well, I for starters
I I bought books on crows and magpies and the corvid family because now I'm like super intrigued, right?
And I found out that they're they're actually considered one of the most intelligent not birds
One of the most intelligent animals in existence. They they pass the mirror test
So they know who they are not a lot only dolphins apes and a few other animals pass the mirror test
And their brain to body ratio is similar to that of apes and humans. And so they are
They know who we are by now. They know they're very tight-knit family. They're very very bright
creatures, so
I was thinking like wow like isn't it weird how
Because they're familiar birds anything that's familiar to us seems ordinary
But we've been living amongst geniuses this whole time just flying around
And so now we have Leonard our genius friend and I hope that he doesn't become a flightless pet
We have on our balcony. That would be weird, but I do think that we have now built a rapport with Leonard and I hope that
He knows that we're not out to hurt him
She's acting like it's Matt Damon from Goodwill hunting out there
Maybe they are
But here's the thing
It's just why I believe what you're saying also because you read 500 books about it
Is game of thrones when they want to send a letter? They don't send a horse
They don't send a wolf. They send a raven. They send a raven and it's the corvid family. Yeah, it's a fucking fantasy you fuckhole
What do you mean messages with birds? Yeah, it's not a fantasy. Don't don't bring up game of thrones
There's also dragons that they fight. Do we do that?
But do the dragon send messages? No, the raven does white walker. Oh, we have those
Oh, if we have white walker if we have one on the screen right now
Let me finish
Okay
I thought you were gonna bring up what I said about the squids last night. It was so embarrassing
What about the squids about the mirror testing? You bring it up, Bobby? Oh, yeah, you bring it up
If you bring it up, you own it. Oh, shit
So yesterday we were having dinner with Jules me and him and I we were talking about the mirror test and animals that pass the mirror test
And I was like, I think that crows
I think that octopus are are very intelligent. They are very self-aware and whatnot and he was like
he was like
Because that's crazy
He's like, how do they test that does a scientist just dive under the ocean and put a mirror in front of an octopus?
Like sincerely, this is the question he asked. I was like, what do they do? All right, let's time grab the mirror
And they go all the way to the bottom of the ocean
All right, and they and and they just try to find a squid and they do that
But then I thought that was dumb because maybe just do it at the uh sea world
And then me and Jules were like laughing so hard like and he could not realize
Why his question sounded absurd
Until it finally hit like 10 minutes 10 minutes later. He was like, oh, yeah, they could just do it in aquariums
Yeah, I literally thought that they did that I didn't make any sense to me
And how does like squids even know that that's their they're looking. How do they find that out?
How do we know that they know? How do they know? How do we know that they they look in the mirror go?
Oh, I look good today. Look
You know, I mean the my eyebrows are beautiful
I had a professor named dr. Gago
love him
His name was dr. Gago. I know it Gago in the Philippines means crazy, but he was also in the Adams family
What the fuck had a last name is that?
He was so smart
Jules, thanks for laughing appreciate it. Yeah, he was my marine biology professor and then he would take students to
Bahia de los Angeles here in Mexico
And he would they would study the Humboldt squid and the Humboldt squid is there these massive massive
massive squid with really complex eyes and they just like
When they were either not being chased, but when they hunt they they breach out of the water
And they've been shown to be one of the most intelligent and complex
animals and apex predators now apparently like
Comparable to like a fucking shark. Maybe even like smarter
And so yeah, they've been able to study that. So that's why I don't eat um
Squid and octopus anymore. Yeah, we don't because I feel like their family's gonna remember my face
Oh my god calamari though, and it's also, you know, it's she she influences me in many ways. She does and so now
Usually I'm always the calamari
That's the first time we eat. Yeah, even if they don't have it get it
Sir, this is a hamburger. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's my pet peeve
My pet peeve is if like I'm out with like a friend
And I can usually tell if I want to um continue a friendship or not with them based on one thing
Like if we go to a place specifically known for let's say calamari
But they order like
A fucking root beer float
Yeah, and like don't try what the restaurant is known for
It reminds me I brought a girlfriend to mama's fish house
In a Maui in Maui and we were sitting there and she goes
I don't want fish
Okay
And my eyeballs
My eyeballs almost pop it out of my skull like cartoony. You know what I mean?
Like it I was in rage. I ate it. What did she order chicken? She didn't eat at all
Oh, I think she had a salad. I'll just have a salad. What's oh wait if she's a vegetarian
No, she wasn't vegetarian
She wanted to spite me
Because I was like we have to go here all week long. We have to go here and then we get there
I just want a salad. It's just it's the my biggest pet peeve
You know try I I'm the fur if they say
You know a monkey balls is the best here
Monkey balls. I'll try it one time
I'll break into this fucking testicle shell and have the testicle ooze seep into my mouth
I imagine the goo the goo in a monkey ball. You crack into it and it squirts into your mouth. Oh
I don't think that's how balls work. No, there's no goo. It's a fucking test. I've never had it before
Do you think you have goo inside your testicles?
You have goo inside your testicles. Well, uh, when I uh, sometimes play with it goo comes out
Yeah
That's blood
See a doctor
I also want to talk about this. Um
Is uh
Wait before we continue. Oh, what do we do with the black cross? No, if you or any listeners are
Um bird aficionados or ornithologists will you please help me out because I don't want a flightless bird as a pet
I want to do enough to help it heal but not
Um, get it dependent on me. So like any tips I I appreciate
Can you touch a bird or no?
Huh, are you allowed to touch a bird or is it like no no no crows only like uh, they're very social distancing type of birds
Like they know who you are, um, but they'll keep their distance always
They're not like magpies magpies are are are really like cuddly and stuff
But there could be an exception right one of this black row is just generally just super like nice
I I don't I don't want to find out. I also don't want I want to respect its wildness
I don't want to make friends with it. I just want to watch it heal and then fly away
But eventually what happens? Let's say this is let me just throw the scenario out there
That a month goes by and he's just just
Just hanging out
You know, you know, you know birds hang they just why is that they're hanging out?
All right, right just hanging out, right and he's like, you know, I mean eating all the sashimi, whatever we give him, right?
You know, he's like that guy, right? Yeah
I will pick it by the neck and throw it off the buck and balcony. No, you won't I won't do that
But that's extreme. That was extreme. That was crazy. That was crazy. What the fuck? No, that was crazy time
That was a turn off my vagina dried so much. I mean I never have sex with you again. I would I would love it
I would love it, but I just imagined the crow with like little tiny bird floaties and like a little tiny bird bath
Just made just for it. Just living the Hollywood life and there's the comedy
The bird there's a comedy from George right there
The cloud wants a bird bath. Let that sink in
I thought it was huge. They're all laughing at home. They're all laughing at home
Just let it sink in Gilbert had to remove himself off screen. What he said
What do you say Gilbert bird bath wait? Well first it was the decibel volume. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah
Sometimes yeah, yeah a little bird floaties. Yeah. Yeah. Just let it sink. Just let it sink in that
I like let's have a moment of silence sipping my time. Let's have a moment of silence. Jesus for that joke
I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm gonna get the Paris見lers stay off throwing it out there baby. I love you. It's all about risk
It's all about risk versus reward, baby
I don't like when you do that. I know I love it
Because your next step mom's comes over and a little bikini
Oh, he's not done. He's doubling down. He's doubling down
Doubling down. He said cronin. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, try to do one more George. Come on, George. Oh
Shit
Are you doing this thing? I don't care. We're not gonna. We're not gonna continue until you've said George umbrella
Don't don't use umbrella. Go ahead
my time next door
What there's nothing else that can heighten this
Okay, there isn't all right anyway, and Bobby's out there with a little Cabana umbrella holding it over the
Little Leonard the crow on margarita mix. I'm okay with a little fan. Yeah, and
Keeping him cool. Maybe spritzing him off with like one of those little fans with little spritzer waters. Mm-hmm. Okay, very descriptive
A little waiter towel let it sink in
Anyway, um, I
Don't like it. I don't I love it. I love you George. I love it. So um, what do we do though?
So a month goes to buy. What do we do? What do you mean? If if if
For starters, I'm not waiting a month
I'm already in contact with a wildlife rescue if I have to somehow capture him get his legs splinted
And rehabilitated that's what that's what I'll do
But my point in like seeing if he'll get better on his own is because I don't want to separate him from his family
His family is circling above like oh, yeah, they do come they do come by come by and check on him
They check on them and they sit down and they'll eat some of the food that's not for them. That's
I'll let it slide, but
It's not for you John. All right. It's we're fucking um Leonard the one the you know the one that we were harboring or
adopted, you know
But so so eventually what they come by and they go all right off you go Leonard. I mean because
My whole
Balcony is white shit now. I don't what you listen. I are cleaning it today. Okay?
We have to clean it every day the white poo because
It's not good. What is it white? Have you ever thought about that? My shit's not white. Kalala. No, but we we we just fed it. It's why it's not expert
But I wonder why it's always so white. They eat nuts and shit that we eat. Yeah, but isn't like have you ever heard of what guano is?
Yeah, one of some of the richest people on this planet are very rich because of guano
Yeah, because of certain minerals that are in guano that like you can extract
You can mine certain things from bird shit
Interesting. It's like gold
Here's the answer the answer lies the fact that birds unlike mammals don't produce urine instead
They excrete nitrogenous waste in the form of uric acid. Which is why is uric acid white?
I don't know why paste why shit brown white paste. We'll never know the answer because we have uric acid and we don't
So it's uric acid. All right. Anyway, what is in guano that is valuable?
Uh, let me look that up
I've never done and is it the sultan of brunei?
That got rich over guano
Uh, I don't have that answer. Sorry
Just put sultan of brunei guano. So we'll do a fucking crow update every week
We'll do a fucking crow update every week. I'm done talking about lennard
Okay, fuck lennard
He's the luckiest bird on the earth
We're very we're very we're very we're we he landed on the right balcony. Let's just say that. Oh, I like that
He lied. Yeah
And he's a very lucky bird. That was his strategic landing too. Yeah, she was telling me this is what she was telling me
And I agree with it. I tried not my head. I go, okay, if that that doesn't make any sense. But okay, this is what koala thinks is
Leonard
Was you know, his wing was busted up
His leg was all fucked up. He's like, oh shit. I can't fly anymore. I have to land. I have to let this shit heal
But he flew around
Our houses and went I'm gonna land on that one because I like those people
Mm-hmm
What do you think
I've never fucked with the crows
They don't know about my behavior, baby. They watch you all day. They know exactly who you are
They see me out there smoking. Yep. They know exactly who you are and they said they he was able to make a
What do you call it a calculated risk and say I think those people's balcony is
High enough so I don't get got by night time predators or coyotes
They're they there are their animals are never out there on the balcony because they're always in the backyard
And I know that it's within it's visible to them. I'll be visible to them. So they'll know to feed me
That's how smart I think crows are I might be wrong. Also, I'm doing a little
I I'm thinking too deeply about this. I'm like, isn't it a coincidence that it's part of the corvid family?
It's one letter away from coveted
During a pandemic and then
Don't do it. Um
Don't do it. Um
She's onto something. She's onto something. Yeah, and then and then girl. Not the bullshit. Um, thanks
Thanks. Yep. And then and then bobby
Um
bobby saw the crow and then he he as as the crow was eating his
Blueberries and apples that we had just fed it
He played the beetle song blackbird and then we started crying
There was a moment
that I had
And I just started crying and part of the moment was the homie weak
The what what we were thinking was
These birds that are so absolutely fucking brilliant. We've seen as
You know bringers of bad news because you know, they're they look we've always like tied them in with a feeling of like
Ominous with an ominous feeling, right? When really it just is a brilliant fucking bird
And so we play that song we cried for no fucking reason and then he built a architectural digest birdhouse
That's pretty good birdhouse
Um, so maybe maybe we're looking into it too deeply of all the corvid and all of that stuff
But but I like to tell you about my future
If I may what's your future about?
So I'm going to let people know that when is bobby lee gonna go out and do the road
And I have made a decision. I am going to start going on the road in september
Nice, and I'm tired of fucking you pieces of good people out there
You hold on you see good people out there. See I shifted. Yeah very good pieces of fucking good people out there
All right accent too
Are saying, you know, I've read some comments bobby lee's afraid
He let the he let the coronavirus, you know instill fear in him because he won't go out
You know, um, there's a lot of things that I have a lot of character defects. I really do
Um, clientele knows about him. It's in her face every day
It's in her face. I receive it. I accept it. I can I will
Yeah, I you know, there's a lot of frailties I have but you know
I have performed in front of 20,000 people before and gotten booed off stage
And then chose to do the same show the next night
All right, if you call that fear
You can call that fear, but I do have fears in my life
But I've always gone out and I've tried to live my life
To the best of my ability and to walk through very scary situations and I've done that in my life
I know that for a fact
I was petrified when I was
28 years old 29 years old when I was asked to do Jay Leno
I did stand up on Jay. What did you wear and how I wore brown?
Um dickies who chose it. I did I had no money. So I just had I used to wear
Brown dickies skate shoes and a black
thermal shirt
Right, so I kind of look like a who went with you that day my brother Steve my manager and my agent who are still my manager and agents
And I remember being behind the curtain and I remember Jay
Saying beforehand he goes. Well, um, don't worry about it. Only six me 16 million people are gonna watch
And I go, oh, yeah. Oh shit. Oh fuck
And I remember behind being behind that curtain and hearing Jay go
So this next comic come to the stage. Um, is this first national, you know, his first national television appearance
Uh, he's he he's he performs it though. He's a regular at the comedy story here in hollywood, california
Bobby Lee
And I remember walking
so scared
You don't you don't know what that's like people. It's your all the moisture from your mouth is gone
Did they give you only one shot? You get one shot. There's no there's no there's no two over
Really? There's no two over you do what you do. I thought it was edited. Yeah, I thought that too. I was like, oh really?
Have you done it fuckface? Yeah, I did Craig Ferguson. I did okay
Oh, you did do Craig? No, I
Missed that guy. I I did too
So, you know, there's no do over and your your mouth is dry and you go out there and you see the first thing you see is the lights
Right, then you see then the next thing you see is the audience
And then the third thing you see which is the most petrifying is the cameras
because you have like
four or five cameras like, you know, and then you're highly aware that Jay Leno and I think was um
Christina Ricci was the guest before me. So they're sitting sitting there just you know
And I remember going to the mic holding the mic going
uh-oh
That's not a good thought
But that's the first thing that ended my mind
uh-oh
And then just having this overwhelm overwhelming feeling of adrenaline
And going, you know, you're doing your life depends on this
This is you know, you know in everyone people's lives
You have moments where you have to deliver
You have moments where you know instinctually that you have to hit the ball
Because you get one chance
And at that time I had no money. I had no future. I barely was with the agency that I was with
I had no money and um, I had to do it. All right. So if you're saying that bobby lee is living in fear go fuck yourself
Sorry for saying it like that way and you're good. You guys are pieces of good human beings
Come out to the shows come out to the shows
But that's at the point the reason why I don't go out and stuff isn't necessarily
Will I beat the virus or or whatnot is I'm just trying to be mindful about other people
Because I know this if my mom got it. She's dead
My mom's 80 years old
You know, she's held this moderately good for her age, but she's an old lady. She could die. She's 80
Yeah, she looks young. Thank you. My point is is that it's not for me. It's not for it's you know, I don't want
You know my fans to go out to my shows early on who have um
A physical condition that I'm not aware of and they get the code covid at my show
You know, so I'm just trying to be mindful about that kind of stuff
But so I've made a decision I'm gonna go in September because I'm not afraid. I want I need to go out there
I want to see everybody. Yeah
And um now my survey has nothing to do with what you just said
It has something to do with the one you talked about later. Now. I don't want to take my survey
What's the survey do the survey?
Survey with kalilah
survey
When when you're speaking to someone
Or let's say you're in a position where you're you're speaking publicly or to a friend or to a group of people
And then you have a frog in your throat like a little bubble and your voice kind of goes home like less
Right. Do you stop regroup?
Make attention to the fact that you have to frog in your throat giggle about it move on
Or do you try to work through the frog in your throat?
Or if it's if it's you or if you're listening to someone with a frog in your throat
Do you laugh and say?
Hey
Like punch that frog out your throat. Yep. I call it out and or you do you call it out?
Or do you just hope that they're they they they get through it? I try to power I try to power through it
Power through the frog. I try to call I try to power through it as myself
Knowing I have it then I call it out if I hear it. I'm like, oh, it's probably your throat
Are you able to work through it guild? No, someone then calls me out then I call and then talk
Yeah, you've done it. You go cry in a corner twice Kalilah in my life
Did I ever tell you about this story about the guy that I helped get on a stand-up television show any bombed?
Yes, yes, yes, George. I've said it on this podcast. Yes. I I remember it, but you can tell it again television show. Okay now
Did I ever say this George? I remember I don't remember
He doesn't also remember what your elementary school was so move on. Yeah, also. I don't I'm not going to say names because I think it's mean
So I'm not going to say names and I'll make it quick
I was I was asked to do a television show to do stand-up
And I said I'll only do it because I had already done it before I only do it if you put my friend on
Who's also a stand-up and they go? Yeah, but you know, we don't know him. I go. Yeah, no, but he's good
And at the time I hung out with him a lot
So they go, all right
So the night of the show
I'm sitting there. I'm gonna tell you the story. I'm sitting there and so I had picked them up to go do the TV show
so we go to the place and
I go up and I I do okay, and then so all the comics are in a
In a room with a monitor watching the show, right? Because they when you do a show like this a stand-up show
They just film six shows at a night with the same audience sometimes sometimes they switch out the audience
So, um, my friend is about to go up that I beg to get on the show
And I'm sitting there with a bunch of comics. They introduced my friend
He goes up the spot Mike
He opens his mouth
And nothing comes out
For 45 seconds
He goes like this he goes
Ah, that would be me and he can't talk
And then eventually he starts to get on the show
And then eventually he starts getting
He
He started he turned at that point. It's too late. The audience has had half the audience has gone up to go to the bathroom
He froze. That's sad. I thought that would have been me. Absolutely. What I did what I did was
Equally as mean
I left him there
Are you dead? Yeah, I drove him there
So what he had to do he had to wait till the end of the night and he got a ride from joey Diaz
Oh like you left him left him picked him up to go to the show because you wanted to dissociate
I was so livid because he made me look like a fool
Yeah, but he probably felt like a fool. I know and I'm so I apologized to him a thousand times
My god, you're cruel. I am cruel
But because you have to understand like I'm sitting there behind the monitor and I'm with the people that I go
You got to put my friend on the producer, right?
And so he opens his mouth. Nothing comes out
And now you could hear in the in the green room people go start going. Oh, no
Right and I'm sitting there blushing
And I'm now the people that I said yes, I turned to them and they're kind of looking at me like
You know, and you know, I have to admit I wasn't like angry
And so I felt something similar like that remember I told you the story of how like my friend was shooting a sizzle reel for his
This is before the ultimate fighter came out. He was doing a sizzle reel
I've seen it. I've seen it a battle long beach with
Her battle long beach, right? Yeah. Yeah, we're releasing that. Hey, I need please god
Now we already did a little clip of it on instagram and not too long ago patreon gets the whole thing. Oh god and so
um
Oh my god, so he was like, will you just say a few lines help me out for like my sizzle reel?
I was like, yeah, I can do it
But I went into
Sure of myself thinking that yeah, of course
I can like speak in front of a camera, but I'd never done it in my life
Right and they had a whole production which I wasn't aware. I thought I was just gonna be him
Like filming me in front of an octagon. She hates lights
And so when when I showed up to the place and then the lights came on and everything
Jessica was there
Do you know the number of times she had to dab my up the sweat on my upper lip?
Because they kept saying hey wipe her face out because it was just a
oil slick
And I was pale and I couldn't get the words out and to a point where they were feeding me not line by line word by word
and I was
Just so I was that person. I was your friend, but you know what?
Jessica drove me home
She didn't leave me there
So what you're saying is there's two types of koreans. There's two types of koreans
Oh, if I was bobby's friends, I would have just started walking home
I don't care. That's uh, wait, I would not have wanted to be in the car with bobby after. Oh, that would have been night
They're also driving with you. Oh, shit. What happened? Hang on. Hang on. Hang on. Hang on, baby. You're still good. You're still good. We're good. We're here
Oh
What were you saying say to say what you just said
I just said I would not want to I would have started walking home if I was your friend
I would not have wanted to ride home with you. I would have just started off the stage going out the door
But I I thought the whole way the story gets
And I I believe that my move was the right move
Because I made the experience so terrible for him
The whole night was a night
I mean they wouldn't pay him either because he didn't money to they wouldn't pay him
You know at the end of the show everyone gets invited on stage to wave to the audience
He wasn't invited on the stage
And he had to wait there all night long. It was a terrible night for him
But then um a couple of years later. I was just watching television
And I watched premium blend
And he was on it
Wow
And he's also had many specials now after that
But his premium blend was so powerful. I cried
It was like night and day
He especially especially when he went to the mic. I could see he just talked right away
Confidence. He said what's up? He just went in there and just started talking
And um, you know, it was a lesson to learn and I've had many of those experiences, but wait, wait, hang on
That's the story of Trevor Noah
It still doesn't justify you leaving a friend there like you cannot you can't
You can't let's not glaze over this
Yeah, that's like, you know, you know what it's like to be left behind or mistreated or being cruel towards like
You can't do this trial by fire with people you hate walking into an audition room and the casting director be an absolute
You know
Bitch to you right up front. You like people who light candles who give you the space to do your best
Right, so you can't do trial by fire with people like
Sometimes you can go back and say oh, maybe that work. Maybe that's the reason why he's so good right now
But it's not to say he would have been even better and gotten there faster
If you had just shown a little bit of like love and empathy when he was shitting him shitting himself on tv
That's so mean that's like cause for like breaking up my friendship with someone
If I bombed that hard on national tv and Jessica just bailed on
We wouldn't be friends today
I fucked up
I fucked up
I'm sorry. I fucked up
But you know that was before also, you know, I I had lived a completely different life after that, you know
What happened after that in my own personal life is that my career died
So, you know, it does not laughing matter gilbert. Yeah. Yeah. I my career absolutely died for many many many years
Where I couldn't get anything I couldn't get gigs. It was terrible. So
You know, maybe karma got me and I've learned from that am I like that today? I am not
I'm a nice guy when bobby and I first in our first like two years together
The stuff that we would get excited about that he could potentially be cast for
It's like you guys would would laugh at now
Remember that?
No, like it would be like a nicolodian show with the 15th lead on a nicolodian show would be like and we'd be jumping on the bed like
Or there was this one sketch show with like a no-name guy
And um, it was like seriously like super low budget and bobby went into audition
And then the whole time like we wouldn't wear our hands and knees that night like please god
Please let him get the part. Please let him get the part
And I remember like we have to look back at those times, you know, and you're like, yeah, you you are doing so well
Yeah, I mean I I would one time I remember flying to new york and to audition for
They flew me to new york to audition for larry will morn show. Yeah
Oh, and I remember going in there
And there was you know
The cast of people that are on those shows now those types of people were auditioning
I remember doing it just eating it and then I remember
It was raining in new york waiting in the rain and I remember um
This is so I guess I can say it so
Vince Vaughn doesn't like me
We all know this. I've already said it. Okay, and I I'm okay with that. How do you know how he feels today?
I don't know. I don't know how he probably loves you
I don't know but I remember at the time he didn't yeah, and I remember him and kevin james were promoting a movie
and I was in the rain, right
soaking rain and
And kevin james's manager
Is best friends with my manager. Yeah, so jeff. So jeff comes up to me gives me a hug
He goes, we just got to go and I remember kevin and they don't even look at me
They just walk by
They get in this limo and they drive off and I remember having to stand in that rain for like another hour before like
Someone picked me up. Oh, and that's right and your suitcase exploded. Yeah, my suit is exploded was that's why we have the rimoa
The green one now because you had to buy that in new york. Yeah, it was it exploded in the rain
And he had to walk to the audition with like a plastic bag of his. Oh my god
It was overnight marriage. So, you know, I you know, you know, you live and you learn but um
But that was it was some bad times there. Um, I I think what we what are we doing on we can get to you on helpful advice
Go ahead
Okay, anyways
I'm hopeful advice with bobby at kalilah
Uh, hi tiger belly. I've been a big fan for a couple months now and I love listening to your podcast to inspire and make me laugh
Thank you all. Um, I'm at the end of the year of high school about to go to university
I'm really anxious about finding friends because I didn't have any meaningful relationships in high school
And even when I thought I did they ended up abandoning me
So for the last year, I've ate lunch in bathroom stalls by myself and sometimes I don't even eat
I've always tried to be truthful. Maybe I was too outspoken about weird things
And I don't know if I just try to change that about myself to make myself more acceptable as a friend
I told them about my dreams and things I'm working towards in the future
And it put pressure on me, uh, that they abandoned me to work harder
They abandoned me to work harder and to really go for it
Now I have trust issues with friends and I feel like I should be alone in the process of following my dreams because it makes
It me more hungry to succeed at the end of the time
It makes me hungry to succeed, but at the same time I feel lonely and sad
How should I go about university should I chase my dreams in the dark until I succeed josh? I'm 17
you first
In my high school highway high school. We had this thing called
the senior wall
So basically it was like this kind of in the middle of our campus was this
Big brick wall, but there was like steps to it. So seniors would sit there and eat lunch
And you would have to walk by them, right?
So it was basically the epicenter of
That whole quad in the in the middle of the our campus was where
You know all the kids
But you could go off on these little nooks and crannies is where all the hashers and I went to the back of the school
Right and I would eat my lunch, you know, I mean with one person or by myself
Um, I I didn't feel uncomfortable at the senior wall. I just preferred it. Um
You know, there was moments back then when I was young where I um
Was more into philosophical ideas what it's life all about and also um being more introspective and kind of
gravitating toward more
Characters like catcher in the rye, you know me or hold in hold. Oh, yeah
Hold in Caulfield or you know reading books like notes from the underground or just, you know, I was just very um
existential about um
How I viewed life and how I viewed the meaningless of life
And being alone and also, you know, you know, I I expressed that, you know
I was kind of an incel like I couldn't get girls
And so, you know, but did that ever make you feel like you wanted to hate girls? No, no
And you're not an incel. You were never an incel. Don't call yourself that I was you were not just because you can't want to
Yeah, but incel being an incel is is is is is a completely different thing than not getting laid
I thought incel was a celibate unintentional. No, it's it's a group of people who are
Who are obviously like celibate, but who have a
Burning rage and resentment towards women. Yeah. I mean, I did. I mean, I you know, I
You know, I I always found a baffling that like I remember back then thinking
You know, you know abused wives who you know, who stay in those I didn't get all that stuff
I'm right. I thought, you know, I know like I remember having like jocks
Girlfriends like, you know, friends of mine and the I would listen to them talk and go. Yeah
I mean, all I care about is I want a partner who's
I'm extremely funny
You're right. And then you're like, but you're you're dating tom
That's the most unfunniest guy, you know me
Tom DeLong though, baby
But some other tom or jimmy you're dating jimmy the guy that thinks that like lighting his forts on fire is funny
It's funny. I know it's very funny. I was like even back then I was way funnier than them
I see the point. Yeah, right. And it's like and it's like no
And I always looked at that but then, you know, I accepted my situation
But and also I look back in those times as happy times for some reason
I miss some of that, you know, I miss some of that struggle and some of that me against the world kind of thing
So dude, I just think that, you know
Youth and young age some kids have a lot of confidence and but you know, a lot a lot of kids
They they get their shine on in their 20s
And some kids get their shine on in their 30s
Or even in their or in their 40s. Like I think I got my shine on in my 40s. I agree. So did George, right?
So my point is is that um
It'll happen and when it happens, it feels great
But also you'll look back in your life and go
God, I missed some of those times. I'd like I'd like to add something though. It sounds as if that
at maybe at times you're
Intentionally trying to avoid people or trying to avoid making friends
I don't think you should close those doors
If you just don't naturally have a group of people that to hang out with that's fine
But if you're intentionally trying to kind of isolate yourself from people, I don't think that's healthy either
You should allow
People to surprise you. You should allow you should keep those
Doors open because at the end of the day humans are kind of flock birds
And we do need
Relationships with people to ultimately learn more about ourselves like there's only so much
Introspection and things we can learn about ourselves when we're alone. We have to kind of
You know bounce that around people and see how that works in the world
To learn who we really are how we treat people how we like being treated things like that, you know, and um
Um, but bobby is right. Maybe you'll get your shine on in your 20s. Maybe in your 40s, and that's okay. You know
You just didn't peak early. That's a great thing
You don't want to and if you've peaked early, that's okay, too
Look at george. Just look at george, and then you'll feel better george and I did yoga yesterday and gilbert was
Offplaying warzone with you first. He said he's like i'm doing my own workout guys
And then I realized I was like you screaming gilbert's name
I was like, he's not doing his own workout. He's doing warzone with bobby. She also did get a workout in and uh, you know
Haven't made any growth
I work out less that too. Um
You know, I've been thinking about warzone just real quick. I want to end it with it. Um,
Why I like it. Um, it is a time for me to bond with my brother steve
It is a time, you know gilbert and I I feel like I've grown closer because of the game
I don't really talk to him ever but now
You know, I talk when we do do we talk way more now
Yeah, but our also our moments are before the camera when we do talk
I know but we don't talk as much as we do now true true true true true
There's I there's quirks about you that I learned from the game
And hearing things at how you just I didn't know much about you until the game
Basically put it this way is what he said. This is what he said
He's like, I don't know why I just my friend. He's like, I just respect gilbert more now
From winning a game
Yeah
