Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening ad-free on Wondery Plus. Another episode solo. No guest. Bobby Lee and George and Gilbert in the house with my beautiful girlfriend. It's really good to be here. Tiger Belly! Yeah? Yeah. Walking down the street. Everybody, no sotos papay de you, slept king in the house.
Starting point is 00:00:53 Welcome to another fine, wholesome episode of the Tiger Belly. Guys, I'm telling you right now, I don't even remember a life without pandemic. I don't remember a life without pandemic. This is the new normal for me. What's your last memory? My last memory was being in Denver, but I'll tell you how I don't. Okay, so I did a show yesterday. It's called Nailed It. It's a cooking show, right? Damn.
Starting point is 00:01:20 What? You know, I was joking. I got that joke. I got jealous. This is the first time I've been around people like anybody, really. And when I meet people, I don't even know how to talk. I'm a judge. This lady owns a manufacturing company outside of Chicago.
Starting point is 00:01:43 Meet Kimberly or whatever, right? And then I'm like, excuse me? That's exactly. What the fuck are you saying? I've just never been around people before. I don't think, you know, and it's like, I get excited just with the grips. Yeah. Hey, you.
Starting point is 00:02:02 What's your name? You know, I just get really excited around being around people. It's really cool. I feel like I've deteriorated socially too, even more than before. Yeah. How do you know? I'm just not able to, I don't know what to say or do or how to act. I don't, I just, I've deteriorated.
Starting point is 00:02:21 Like, unless, I've already sucked with small talk with new people. Now it's, I'm a mute. I just sweat in place. I just stand there and I just sweat. Like a sick person. Yeah. I've also been kind of numb to just the world in general in terms of like, we don't talk about politics here at Tiger Pill as we do.
Starting point is 00:02:47 Or we do. We do or we don't. We don't. Right. Because, you know, I, you know, I have my own beliefs, but, um, but even all the things that are going on politically in the, regardless of where you stand, I've just been kind of a fucking numb to it all. You know, in fact, things that I would find outrageous before, you know, like
Starting point is 00:03:07 five years ago, if something, if the things that are going on right now, right politically was happening five or six years ago, it would have blown my mind. Like it would have like been, what? And now it's just like, Oh, that happened. That person said that, you know, normal. It doesn't sound that crazy to me. So I've been kind of right.
Starting point is 00:03:27 Is that true or no normalize? It's not good. It's not good. No, I'm not saying it's a good thing. I'm just saying that that's where I'm at. Yeah. You know, here's another thing I want to say. It's just real quick before we get into it.
Starting point is 00:03:38 Right. Hello to you. It's really nice to see everybody in the room. Right. I really enjoy you, George. You know, what a nice guy. Yeah. I love you.
Starting point is 00:03:49 I love you. I really do love you. I want to say that podcasting has fucked me up in terms of my humor. But now that I'm doing like TV friendly things. I don't even know what regular humor is. You know, like Nicole buyer. I'm nailed. She's on nailed it.
Starting point is 00:04:14 Cool. She's so talented. You know, and I've always enjoyed her and she's doing like smart, you know, impressions and you know, they just do showbiz. They do showbiz stuff. Right. And I'm there like I was molested. They're like cut.
Starting point is 00:04:35 Cut. You can't. They're kids. The cooking show. Yeah. Yeah. I suck dick in high school. That's not going to work here.
Starting point is 00:04:43 Cut. That's not going to. I masturbate to weird porn. You can't say, you know, whatever it might be. You can't say porn. Yeah. But the kind of porn is the old people. They don't cut.
Starting point is 00:04:53 Yeah. It's like I don't know what it is. I don't know how to do the fuck is taking our their that scared me. I'm not going to lie. The trash can. Oh, I thought it was like scared you will. Yeah. That's what we guys were getting mugged.
Starting point is 00:05:11 That a dragging a mugging. The most dangerous man in this entire neighborhood is Bobby Lee. That's definitely the truth. I can see that. Yeah. I'm very dangerous. Not physically, but just in my mind. I can implant things in your mind.
Starting point is 00:05:27 Yeah. Interesting. Thank you so much. Like he will burn our own house down. Club. What happened recently? Oh, well, that wasn't really his fault. It is.
Starting point is 00:05:36 My God, you guys. Have you ever thought about like, you know, when you worry about your own death, what are things that pop in your head? Like, is it we die from the plane crash or do you die from a sickness? Like, what are things that cross your mind? Oh, Gilb. Sorry about that. I don't know why that's on.
Starting point is 00:05:56 I want to be death by churro. Like choking on a churro. Is that what you think about? No, be real. No, but like working at a churro factory and then like something, a mishap happening and like 90,000 churros just landing on top of me and I just drowned in it. Drowning by churro. Drowning by churro.
Starting point is 00:06:12 Drowning by churro. But when they see my body though, I'll have a smile on my face. Stampede by churro. I love churro. Okay. So what I'm, what you're saying is you have final destination thoughts. I don't. I always, I always like my worries are always like either medical or my biggest one is car
Starting point is 00:06:30 accident or even though like I'm a swimmer, you always never not think about drowning and stuff. Right. What never occurred to me was that I could potentially have a crushing injury or a crushing death by refrigerator. You know, fear that I didn't ever occur to me and it almost happened to me two nights ago. She, bro, I witnessed it.
Starting point is 00:06:56 Okay. Number one, I realized that I'm a coward, that I don't have really good reflexes. Right. And that whatever happens to Kalilah, if she dies in front of my eyes, reflex based, it'll, it'll be reflex based reflex based. It'll be, it'll be like, she, she died in front of me and they're like, did you stop the bullet? Nothing.
Starting point is 00:07:18 Okay. So you know how. Yeah, go ahead. Tell. So you know how Bobby flooded the home, right? Bobby aka the cat flooded the home, right? And so for the last two weeks, we've had construction workers basically rip out our floors and try to dry the floor underneath it.
Starting point is 00:07:36 So they've had to, um, our fridge is normally bolted onto the wall. And so to get to the floor underneath the fridge, they've had to unbolt the fridge and move it to the living space. So there's just a free standing fridge right in the middle of our living room, right? And, um, I, um, Jules and I, um, picked up the groceries and brought it upstairs to put it away in the fridge. And as I was putting stuff away in the fridge, I guess the fridge was on a slight tilt forward and all the doors opened up.
Starting point is 00:08:14 Where was Bobby? He was actually sitting in the living room like watching this whole thing happen. No, I was not. No, that's not. No. Tell me your version. Okay. First of all, my version is this.
Starting point is 00:08:24 Okay. I have no idea what the fuck you guys are doing. We're putting groceries away. I understand that. Right. Like people lifting things and like opening packages, whatever. Right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:37 My attention is I'm watching Picard, the CBS show. Yeah. I'm watching. No, I'm watching Star Trek. The next generation. It's the episode where Picard falls in love with Nella. Nella. Okay.
Starting point is 00:08:50 And so I love love stories. You're in it. You're as you know, I love love stories. Yeah. As you know, I love Picard. You hate when Picard falls in love. I don't. I hate it from the kissing scenes.
Starting point is 00:09:01 Whenever he tries to kiss her, I just go, what the fuck? Right. And I turn away. Why is that? Because he's the captain. And he don't, you don't kiss. When you're the captain, you just, everyone deserves love. I know when you think about it though, you know, because they don't show this on the
Starting point is 00:09:14 TV show, but if that was real, he must masturbate. Oh, for sure. Yeah. Of course. Yeah. But imagine Picard, you know what I mean? Where do you think? Some Earl Grey tea before bed.
Starting point is 00:09:24 And then he plays this little flute. Secures his key pass and no one can open the door. Yeah. And then he probably pulls his pants down and he goes, engage and just make it so. Right. Where do you think he splooges? Oh shit. Probably right.
Starting point is 00:09:41 It probably splooges right under with that little symbol. On the badge. Yeah. On the patch. Right. Or maybe it splooges right. You know, because they have these little, these little things on their neck that shows on the ranking.
Starting point is 00:09:51 Oh yeah. Yeah. Anyway. So they wear socks on the enterprise. I don't fucking know. You're a super fan. I never. Do they wear, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:09:59 I don't know. Would they need socks? I make assumptions that they make. I've never looked at like war shoes or anything like that. Yeah. I'm saying so Picard is not a sploogen socks kind of guy. No. No, there's no way.
Starting point is 00:10:11 I think that. Who does their laundry? Yes, Bob. Answer all these questions. That's interesting. I've never thought of that. Is it a Korean? There's so many things I've never thought of.
Starting point is 00:10:19 I've never thought of if they wear socks. True. If they, how do they do their laundry? Masturbation. I mean, I assume that those things happen. The must. I've seen them drink and eat food and whatnot. But anyway.
Starting point is 00:10:31 Okay. Sorry. So I'm watching Picard fall in love on the show. Yeah. And all of a sudden I hear. And I look to my left and the fucking refrigerator is landing on Kalila's head. This gigantic metal refrigerator and she shoulder chucks it. All of the food and the jars, like the last things broke on top of my body.
Starting point is 00:10:56 At this point, are you wonder womaning like shoulder? So what I did, and I'm going to say this, I'm going to have to give a shout out. I know people hate group workouts, but I'm going to give a shout out to Barry's boot camp. Shout to Barry. Because ask Bobby, it turns out I have superhuman strength and I didn't say a word when it was happening. I basically just lifted the fridge. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:20 And Juliana was frozen. Yeah. Trying to help me, but she couldn't because of the angle and this fridge was all halfway. Like already. How much was the already at this point? Was it? It was basically. All the weight of the fucking refrigerator is on her shoulder, by the way.
Starting point is 00:11:35 It was like this already that far. Yeah. The fridge just fell like straight over. Imagine a tree falling over. That's all the glass and everything was crashing on my head and everything. And I basically just had to deadlift it and push it back this way. Okay. So that is scary.
Starting point is 00:11:53 So. Okay. That happens. You're. First of all, you're watching a love story. So you're. Thank you. I'm watching Papa.
Starting point is 00:12:01 Papa love his love story. You see that fall on. And I see it fall. I go. What do I say? What's the first thing? All I hear is because I have, I have to basically do a deep squat, right? To pull the fridge off of me.
Starting point is 00:12:14 All I could hear for 30 seconds was baby, baby baby. You're like, I know. So I'll argue that timeline. How was like, can somebody fucking help me? No, no, 30 seconds. I argued that. You know, I gotta give it up to she's a twig.
Starting point is 00:12:42 shock. So I get up and I start pushing, you know what I mean? The door handle. Meanwhile, there's kimchi, there's mustard, old salsa, old burrito. Everything that was in the fridge, everything was just scattered all over the thing. The dogs are freaking out. It was a fucking mayhem. It was our own 9-11. Your own falling tower? Yeah, it was our own 9-11. And so we finally get it into place and we all had just that moment of like, holy shit, Kaleila almost died by refrigerator. By refrigerator. And then and then the cops. The cops? No, if they did. Oh, what happened? Well, the fridge fell on her head. Really? What happens? But I swear to God, I was watching it.
Starting point is 00:13:34 You know, you like next generation. I would say that. Like love stories? You like love stories? You know what he said afterwards? Because he didn't want to clean up the mess. What did you say? Were you pissed at this point or were you kind of just like in disbelief? No, eventually after about I, it felt like 30 seconds. He says 15 seconds. Eventually he helps me do the final push on the fridge. Thank you. You got there. So like the last 5% of my leg strength he helped with. But he got there. I got there. And then but he didn't want to help clean up the mess. So his thing was I will not. He told me and Jules, he's like, I'm gonna give you two weeks
Starting point is 00:14:11 break of no booger attacks. Oh, wow. If you clean all of it up and Jules and I took the deal. You gotta take the deal. We hate when he like puts his. You gotta take that deal. I thought it was like once in a while. You gotta take the deal. You gotta. Wait, the booger attack? Yeah, I was like, hey, once a week, maybe. Can I just, can I just. He has a whole wall of boogers and he peels. It's not a wall of boogers, a napkin full of boogers. It's like, you know how people have sticker collections and that waxy paper. I love anything that sticks. Yeah. Yeah. He has a whole booklet of boogers and like like a sticker collection and then he just chooses which booger to peel out of that. I'm a disgusting thing and then he puts it on us. So um, but I can just defend myself real
Starting point is 00:14:51 quick is let's say George, George, let's say you and I were hiking. Never will never will happen. But let's suppose and out of the sky, a fucking piano is falling. A full blown grand piano is falling toward your head, right? My first initial reaction is going to be able to process, right? Is that a piano? Right? I mean, you because you would you have to check your mind and your eyes to see if they're connected. Yeah. And then you have to fucking. So when the refrigerator is falling on her, that's what I'm going through. Be like, what the fuck is going on? I'm processing what's going on because it's never happened before. I didn't think it would it could ever happen. Right. So that's what that 10 seconds is, you know, to I will I will agree with you in the sense that while it was
Starting point is 00:15:46 happening and everything was falling on my body, I thought, is this a refrigerator attacking? Yeah, yes. See, that's what I'm saying. I didn't make sense to me, too. Like my my instinct was just to push back, right? And to lift the the freezer handle like away. But I you're right. I don't think I maybe would have moved as fast either to help you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. So it was it was a bizarre. Wow. Yeah, incident. I'm just so you know, I have these like flashbacks. I have this fear that what if it was jewels? And she's like so much smaller than me. And she's a strong girl, but she is, you know what I mean? She's physically different. She weighs on 90 pounds. She would have fucking died. She weighs 90 pounds. Imagine that phone call to the Philippines, like to her
Starting point is 00:16:37 mom, like, hey, yeah, yeah. You know, we have a gigantic metal fridge refrigerator. What is that? Yeah, yeah. Incidentally, I just want to say that I'll forget it. It doesn't mean anything. It means everything. Tell me. Yeah, imagine we live in a world now where, you know, you can you can videotape at any moment, you know, you can, you know, the world is connected in that way. You can't really, you know, imagine trying to murder somebody. It'd be very difficult, right? But my point is, is that, um, like, we get videos of like Karen's, right? Like a Jamba Juice, whatever, every day now, right? But now imagine the billions of Karen moments that were untapped, under undocumented, right? And they were just hearsay. Hey, did you hear what see what Linda
Starting point is 00:17:34 said? Linda was acting all crazy saying that she won't worm. You know, imagine there was a time where like, Karen's went free, crazy. But, but did it, did it take the exposure of Karen's and seeing it on social media for you to believe that there were that many that existed? Because I always knew they were around. I'm hidden from Karen's. I've never even really run into a Karen before. Oh gosh, really? Come on, you at airport. There's so many everyday life. No, because I would have to, because I'm so, I would have to be in the midst of a Karen's outbreak. I would be, I would have to be the catalyst to get a Karen to go. And because I'm so mischievous and quiet and also underground, right? That I, when I'm around in public places, I try to avoid like fucked up
Starting point is 00:18:24 situations. I think I can read when a situation's about to happen or when I see a person, you know, just, I just, not just white people, but generally white, some white people where I just kind of go, I think this is going to be an incident. Like I told you about like. So like you racial profile of the white people. Well, no, like, you know, I told you about. This is going to be an incident. Yeah. Like, you know, like when I was at a hotel once, right? And a white groundskeeper. Yeah. You know, I, you know how I dress. I dress, sometimes I dress dystopian. What's a grounds keeper? Yeah. It was, it was, he was a white man who was in charge of the groundskeeper. He was a groundskeeper. Like a. Like a. The only groundskeeper I know is from Harry Potter. No, he drove
Starting point is 00:19:12 around in a golf cart. He wore a green, a green, like from top to bottom. One thing. So he, it was obviously had something to do with telling, basically telling Mexicans, go trim that. Okay, God. Oh, Jesus. I know. You drove me into that. I get it. You drove me into that. He's the boss, man. Basically the manager of a landscaping. I thought groundskeeper. I thought it was like somebody that oversaw like a mansion. No, when you go to a fancy hotel, right? Well, there's a lot of like lawns and like shrubbery and whatever. They have a probably they have a guy who's the groundskeeper. Okay. Love that word. All right. So I'm sitting on a bench in a hotel in Arizona and I looked dystopian, meaning my like one gene leg was there. The other one was not.
Starting point is 00:20:06 Okay. There's holes in my shirt. Yeah. Right. And I think I just woken up. I was having a cigarette and like I had like my face was drooping. Bells. Bells palsy. I had bells palsy. Right. Because when I stress, you were when I wait, no, when I wake up, not everything is awake at the same time. I understand that. Okay. Takes a different time. So I'm smoking. You know, my face is drooping. I looked dystopian and it looked like I didn't belong at the hotel. The groundskeeper comes up to me. All right. I'm not going to explain what that is anymore. Okay. Would you like the definition just to go? No, no, no, no. Please don't. All right. And he goes, where's your hotel key? Like, and there was other people around where there are other, you know,
Starting point is 00:20:48 people drinking coffee and around, you know, dignified people, people that look like they belong there. I go, excuse me. And he goes, are you staying at the hotel? Because you can't stay here. You can't be sitting here. You mean if you're not staying at the hotel? I mean, mind you, now this is a Chad moment, right? But I didn't have my fucking phone on me, right? I couldn't tape it. So I just gave him my key, I'm staying room, this room, and I just walked away. Yeah, right. That could have been a Chad Karen moment. You know what I mean? I can't say that. Not by you, though. Yeah, but he was acting chatty. Yeah, that was he was Chad. Yeah, so I could have taped him, but I avoided this avoided the situation. Did that make sense or
Starting point is 00:21:38 no? It makes sense. No, no, try to explain to me, because to me, now it doesn't make sense. Yeah, I think that someone is profiling you based on the way you appear. I was just making an example how I tried to kind of like squash situations and walk away from it and not, you know, not put more gasoline on the fire. What I wanted to do is I will not give you my hotel key. What do you mean? There's other fucking people around you're not fucking asking them for their hotel key. So fuck you. You should ask them for his hotel key. Where's your hotel key? I'm the groundskeeper. We have to keep it. I mean, we had the movie theater, Chad and Karen. Oh, that's right. We were so angry at us because we screamed during a scary part in a movie and they
Starting point is 00:22:26 wanted to fight us. Remember, and they were making such and they were like, if you if you know that you make sounds during a horror film, you should just watch this at home. But I'm gonna admit something to you that I'm gonna regret saying, but I have to I don't like to edit myself. Okay, and it's gonna be embarrassing to be saying this. Okay. If it didn't happen, two floors down from the comedy club that I was I was performing at. Yeah, I don't think that I would have confronted them. Interesting. Meaning we watched a movie. My ego was like, how do you how this is so embarrassing. How dare you I'm on the market. Talk to me on my in my home turf. If not only that, like I sold out every show. It's kind of like how you felt with the restaurant when the restaurant
Starting point is 00:23:17 wouldn't see you at. Right, like, yeah, exactly. Same feeling. Yeah, when I, you know, I mean, I just don't like being treated in a in fuck. I don't like being treated. I don't like being treated in a disrespectful way. You know what I mean? In an area where I'm killing it. Hey, it's an extra blow to your ego. Yeah, just so embarrassing to say that. Whatever. But I was there and I felt wronged because these people were so, you know, angry and wanted a confrontation out of us screaming at the scariest part of the movie. Like, that's, that's, I didn't even think about you playing that club at all. I just wanted to, you know, have it out with them because those little they were fucking being little baby Karen's. Yeah. But the technology is basically
Starting point is 00:24:06 what I'm saying. We live in a different world. No one got that on camera. What? You got that on camera. I'm surprised no one in theater started filming that. That would have been great. You know what? We will film the next one. No. Yeah, we're never going to have that again. We're just going to walk away like spineless creatures that we've always been. No, I think the way you've approached even the groundskeepers like why like you might as well just go away. Nothing's going to happen. Yeah, because I always I told you we've talked about the restaurant where the guys had pulled my pants up. Yeah, it's it's it's again, it's those situations where I don't fight for my right to be there. You know, and I think in many ways, I was trained. I've always been so
Starting point is 00:24:49 self aware that I was a small Asian guy. And I've always been self aware that I live, you know, I'm much older than everyone here. So I lived in a world where it was much more outwardly racist, I guess, and like, you know, people saying shit to me that was like, you know, I mean, in today's standard would have got them fucking fucked, right? But in in my world, like, I've had directors, I lived in Hollywood when I was in, I've done shoots where a director said, like, really racist shit to me. Like, I had a fucking director call me a flat face gook. Oh, that's where you got it. And then out. Yeah. Yeah. And yeah, that's where I got it from. Got it. And like, and then people just still going about their business as if he just yelled it, right? Yeah. And like, and I'm
Starting point is 00:25:38 sitting there going, ah, here I am, flat face gook. That's me. That's me. And like, not been able to say anything. Or and no one getting in trouble for it. So I live, I'm very like mindful and also very sensitive to the fact that I guess I should we live in a different world, I should change the way I, you know, live in the world and fight for my right to be for being here. Yeah, really quick. If you guys are at a restaurant, and let's say there's kids running around, being very belligerent, parents aren't doing anything. At that point, do you say something to the parents, to the kids, or do you just keep shut? What do you mean? So there's kids that are at a table next to keep bumping into you're eating at a restaurant, they're knocking things over, they're screaming, they're yelling,
Starting point is 00:26:25 parents are talking to their friends. Do you just sit there? Yes. See why in that situation? Because, because that's, that's what I hate. My brother and I were at, um, you're gonna hate this place, but we were at El Cholo. El Cholo. Oh, the Mexican restaurant? Yeah. Yeah. On six feet. Hey, I respect the history of El Cholo. I just am not sold on the food. Is that an okay compromise for you? I love, I love the food. I think it's very historic. I think that I love the food. I love the food. It's just not my jam. I think there's so many awesome Mexican places here and mom and pop shops, but they're fucking it. Fucking chimichangas. The chicken chimichangas are the best on planet Earth. They are. They're very good. The shredded tinga chicken. I love it. My brother and I were eating
Starting point is 00:27:12 chinga, chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken. That's all our brother and I were a chinga, chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken, we're opening a food truck guys and enjoying ourselves. And when my brother and I, we talk like, you know, sailors. Fuck that guy. You know, we just, you know, and we had a lady come up to the table and go, excuse me. Were you not you know, use that profanity? My grandchildren are here and my brother and I go, sorry. And we just whispered the whole way, but no more. I'm no longer doing that anymore. That's why I propose that situation. Say the kids are next to you bumping into you at the point where they're knocking down your glasses. See it like, switch it around. Why wouldn't you tell them like,
Starting point is 00:28:05 hey kids, sit the fuck down. Like, because, because I think my point of view is, you know, when you're at a table in a restaurant, regardless of what's happening, just mind your own fucking business. I agree with Bobby because in my head, the reason I would never say anything, it's like, you know what, it's hard enough to have kids. It's the same reason why I don't say anything. And I grin and bear when like a child is kicking the back of my seat in an airplane for 17 hours. Like one time on a flight to Melbourne, it was like a 15 hour flight, right? There was not only a crying kid, like a toddler just straight up kicking my back the whole way through. But the woman on the aisle seat was about 350 pounds. So I couldn't get up to pee. So I politely told her that I was
Starting point is 00:28:55 just like, don't worry about it. I'm just going to crawl over you each time it was the worst flight of my life. But I just don't say anything because I always just imagine it's probably harder for the parent back there. And it's probably harder for the woman next to me. Like, I'm young, I'm fine, nothing's really happening. And I just really kind of like, it's, it doesn't, it bothers me, but probably not as much as they're bothered, bothered the parents, the parents, you know, so I'm just like, whatever kids, like that's the one thing that I love about the Philippines that I have a fear of raising kids here versus raising them in the Philippines, because there's so much like shame and rules when it comes to parenting here. Like in the Philippines, like your kid could
Starting point is 00:29:37 be screaming just being a kid. And then there are no repercussions over here. It's like, you know, silence your child, like take control of your child. And it's like, it's a fucking one and a half year old man. Like, yeah, but what if in the Philippines, I've seen this where a mother is dragging, you know what I mean, their child by their hair across, you know, a target, right? Yeah. Is at that point, at that point, do I, at that point, do I say, you know, excuse me, don't drag your child by your hair? Or do we mind our own business there? That's no, if a child is being harmed and abused and like, no, I would absolutely intervene. I'd be like, what the fuck, lady? That's a kid. I would say something. Then I'd be like, what the
Starting point is 00:30:23 fuck are you doing? I'm going to call somebody if you don't stop doing that. Yeah, but I don't think I would do that. I would. That's fucked up. If you're not going to go help a child who's obviously being harmed in that way. And but, but you know what, there have been situations legitimately where like it's not our place. Okay, let me give you a scenario. Make it good. I think it's going to be very good. Let me throw it to you, Gilbert. Cool. You're at a restaurant by yourself and you see a friend of yours. Let's call him Tommy G. Tommy G and Tommy G. Tommy G goes, Hey, dude, you eating by yourself? You know what I mean? Hey, can I sit with you? Would you say yeah? Yeah, sure. Sit down. Okay, what if Tommy G had a friend? My friend Billy's here. Billy
Starting point is 00:31:06 sits down and Billy has nice guy, you know, cool guy, right? But he had a tumor, right? The size of another human head dripping from his head. I was oozing. Yeah. No, it's not oozing. It's just a tumor that just like hanging from his head and you're eating with them. Would you be like, and the tumor is like, you're in a Mexican restaurant. Yeah. And it's like his tumor is like kind of dunking. It's just dipping into the salsa. Oh, I just go. Would you ever do, would you completely ignore the tumor? If he sat down, I go, who's your friend? Yeah. You make a joke immediately. Oh, I see what you're saying. You look at you. Oh, that's very good. I see the friend. I say, Oh, hey, Billy, nice to meet you. Bobby does that with my pimples. I would even put my hand
Starting point is 00:31:56 out to the tumor and try to shake it. Like for me, I don't want to deal with like, yeah, because they know I see it. It's like, I told you, my friend with the three fingers on his hand, I will purposely shake his hand, squeeze it, like search. He knows that I know I'm feeling it. I don't want to deal with the awkwardness later. See, what I would do is different. I would do the opposite, right? I would be, I would try because I don't want him to hurt his feelings. I know, but if his tumor was dipping into the salsa, I would take a chip and still eat the salsa and pretend it didn't happen. You would probably even go past go more flavor. Yeah. Yeah. I don't, I think I would completely ignore it. Why do you ignore those things? Because I don't want to hurt
Starting point is 00:32:36 his feelings. I'm going to go, Hey, nice tumor. You don't think it's condescending? Nice tumor, friend. I mean, he would laugh. He would like, Hey, nice tumor. Yeah, that's be funny. Yeah. Like, do you ignore anything? Like say someone has not a pimple, but like a deformity, which we all can see. Do you avoid ever bringing it up or even asking about it? Or do you just go on? If it's very like upfront in your face, like Bobby described, I choose my moments wisely with people. I also am really like sensitive to that stuff. So yeah, I choose my moments wisely. Like there would not, there would be nothing. I've never felt awkward around people with deformities just because yeah, I choose my moments. It's like, if they, if they start the conversation,
Starting point is 00:33:18 if they want to open up, that's fine. If not, they're a regular human being. If it doesn't get in the way of our actual conversation, like, what's it to me that he looks different than me? Or if it doesn't get in the way, it doesn't get in the way, then who cares? I don't give a shit. Now, if it's getting into my salsa, yeah, then I'd be like, Whoa, whoa, whoa. Like, your tumors in the salsa. You crossed the line. I would be like, I would be like, yo, like you're, I would, I would probably try to take a napkin to his tumor and be like, you're getting it wet. You're getting yourself wet. Yeah. My point. Here's my point of view. If I have a tumor on my head and I meet anybody for the first time, I address the tumor. I don't
Starting point is 00:34:03 think you have to address a tumor. We all see it. No, but to make it not, I have a tumor. No, not attack. No. No, I wouldn't be like that. I just be like, if I'm, I have a tumor face. I have a friend named Tommy G. Tommy G is like, Hey, I'm gonna sit next to my friend Gilbert, right? When I sit at the table before you, I even shake Gilbert's head. I'm going to be like, sorry about the tumor. It might, it's so big. It might, you know what I mean? Fall in the salsa. Fall in the salsa. So that it opens up the conversation for you to go to say things about it. Yeah. But why does it have, why does he have to wear it, bear the emotional burden of your discomfort around him? Because I just want to, because I don't have to, like if something is
Starting point is 00:34:47 wrong with me and let's say like, I'm missing like an arm or whatever, why do I have to explain myself just so you're not comfortable, you're not uncomfortable where it's like, grow up. It's shit. We're all different bodied. Like it's fine. Shit happens where there are a lot of different fucking possibilities for how we can look. It's fine. An arm is different than a tumor, by the way. No, but what I'm saying is something that you would have to address, I think. Well, no, that's, if it happened to me, I don't feel like I have to keep explaining to everybody around like what it is. Can you just get over the fact that, yeah, something's possibly growing on my face and that it's different from yours and then just like move on. Yeah. I will say anyone I've
Starting point is 00:35:26 encountered is usually being in comedy. So they are the ones that always bring it up. Yeah, because I feel like that's a way to like deflect too. Like I feel like they do that because of course, you know, they're worried that people are uncomfortable around them. But if I had that shit, I'd be like, sit in your discomfort. I'm not even going to explain to you what this shit is. So at no point, so at no point, she does have a point when it falls to salsa. She goes, whoa, whoa, whoa. That's true. Yeah, I'd be like, let me wipe your tumor for you. Now it's wet. Then do you order another salsa? I'd call the waiter or do you leave that? No, that's interesting. I'll answer your question. Look, if it's not an unhygienic thing,
Starting point is 00:36:05 no, I'd eat it because guess what? They're fucking people bare-handed making your food anyways. It's the same as fucking the meat on his tumor and the meat on their hands. It's fine. How rude it would have been if you go, waiter. I can hear you whispering, dude. Yeah. My tumor can hear you whispering. What kind of tumor are we talking about? An elephant trunk? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Elephantitis? Yeah, I've seen that on the show that I love Body Bazaar. I saw a lady with hands that were the size of a fucking ottoman. They were gigantic hands. So it's like, if I have those kinds of hands and I meet somebody, do I shake it or do I go, amen? You can just shake the finger. All right. Well, that's so specific. No, because it's so big. If you put your hand,
Starting point is 00:37:02 it'll be weird. So I'd just be like, hey, dude, I know I have big hands, but I'm shaking your hand, but just shake the fucking the fingernail. I think you should offer the hand anyways and then wait for their move. If they're not comfortable shaking your hand, they're going to be like, dude, my hands are too big, so they're too heavy. I can't shake it because that's what I do. Like he was like, you're the idiot. Dude, my hand, you know how big my hand is? Yeah. Oh, that's true. Then it's on you. Then it's fine because sometimes people do that. They extend their hands and I'm like, I'm sorry, I can't shake your hand because I have wet fish for hands. Imagine putting up your big hand and then them not shaking it and then it just starts getting
Starting point is 00:37:36 heavy and you just hold it there. I just love these scenarios because these are things that I think about social things I think about at night. It could happen. The thing is it could happen. Yeah. Like when I see body bizarre, I think about like what it would be like to either be them or what it would be like, you know, to be out in the world socially, you know, and what are the like what are the social norms and things that you do. Yeah. I always think that like their experiences are probably so different than yours and probably present a lot of challenges. So like why be a dick and just like stop making their life more difficult and just treat them like you would anybody else. Yeah. Yeah, I would probably, you know, if I had something like that,
Starting point is 00:38:30 I would just play it up. That's our personality though. Yeah. Like, you know, I saw one time I saw on body bizarre, you know, someone that has a skin very skin condition where they don't have a layer of skin. So it's like red, you know, and they can't be on the sun. That was a really sad one. Yeah. If I had that, I would probably wear constantly like a Freddy Krueger sweater. So you'd play it up and play it up and have the knife hand. Yeah. And just play it up and get in, you know, a cheap Halloween costume. Fuck you. Say money. It's awful. It's awful. It's terrible. Yeah. You know, we should, you know, and I think when I watch a show like what people ask me, why do you watch shows like that? And I think gratitude.
Starting point is 00:39:20 Oh, by the way, I think I need glasses. You feel like you can't see? He's he's been I've been blind. He's been blind guys for a while. He's been a diagnosis from what you've seen the past. I think that he just needs glasses. He can't see. Well, he hasn't since I've known him, he hasn't been able to read from a certain distance where I'm like, how can you not read that? He can't read like signs posted or like street signs or anything like that. I swear to God, this happened yesterday. This is how it happened. I was on Nailed It. Yeah. And you're going to introduce the prize because they you know, the winner who gets a prize. And I go, I couldn't even see the monitor. I go, where do I read it? It's just on
Starting point is 00:40:06 the monitor. Where is it? It's there right in front of you. You're holding it. And I go, okay. And so I didn't want to say like I can't see it. And I so I was reading it at the couple of words like the winner of this, you know, competition, you get, you know, a stainless steel. I said, cockware, cockware. And then you could hear everyone laughing like the producer. It's cookware. And I go, Oh, dude, I swear to God, I was, I thought I saw a C. I thought one of the O's was a C, right? And I said, cockware. And they laughed. And I go, can you bring it up like the font up? So they put the font really big for me to read it. Oh man. Yeah. So I think I need glasses because Nicole was able to read. Think, babe. It's not a thing. I know. But where do I go? I'll
Starting point is 00:40:58 take you to America's best. No, but I go to a doctor first, like an eye doctor. All of those places. No, no, where we park or go to like a real ophthalmologist and optometrist thing. You set that up because I'm mad at that age where I think I need it. Oh, you're so cute with glasses. No, I was gonna say, would you rock contacts? No, I would wear glasses. I've always wanted to wear glasses. Oh, wow. Like cool ones, you know, I think the the glasses, the the glasses that he has been wearing the last couple months has kind of thrown his vision off the edge a little bit. The yellow ones. Yeah, I think so. Yeah, I think so. I think it worsened it because they just made you kind of squint more because they were yellow lenses that you couldn't really
Starting point is 00:41:40 see. Yeah, I can see everyone here fine. I hope so. Yeah, I can see everything when I'm playing war zone, I can see everything fine, right? How many how many fingers am I holding up? Three. Okay. Two. That maybe I'm not blind. She's like, am I doing right now? Yeah, I can't. It's long distance. You know what I mean? Things get a little blurry. Yeah, okay. Yeah, that's all. You know, I'm not really concerned about it. I just think I'm just getting older and any glasses. Yeah, you know, I used to have 20 20 vision. Really? Yeah. Shit, I guess it's gonna get bad for me at some point then to bizarre old age. Even when I wake up now, it's like, there's a couple of things that are like weird about it.
Starting point is 00:42:28 Like what can you tell me? What are the big age things you're feeling? Like, just this morning I woke up and I was just like, Oh, you know, not a pain or a sharp anything. It's just, everything's are sore now that normally aren't sore used to be sore. I used to just jump out of bed and like, come on life. Let's do this. Right? In my mind, I wouldn't say that loud. Good, good. But now it's just like, Oh, okay, I'm up. You know, there's like that initial like things kind of are achy and and and and I feel I don't I feel like a child. You know, I you know, when people go, you know, you'll see like a documentary, you'll see a scientist. And you go look at that old scientist and they're like, I'm 46. And you're like, what the fuck?
Starting point is 00:43:18 That old scientist is 46. I'm 48. I don't feel or look like that old scientist. You don't look 48 off at all. It really angers me. Yeah. Because I really was hoping that the 13 year age gap between us would make you look like my opa. No, but it we look like a regular same age couple. And I hate it. Yeah. Yeah, it's like, it's it's it's strange. And as you get older, you do think about the end a little bit more often. Because if you think more than half my life is over now. Oh, if you're based on 100 years. Oh, well, then now most of it's over there. Fuck you. Now most of it's over the way. 75. I mean, think think about it. I have probably
Starting point is 00:44:06 at the most 40 more years, but the least 20 more years. Damn. Why do you look at it like that? But think of it. Think of it that I don't want to. Can we move on? No, I don't want to move on. I think this is good stuff that we should talk about. It does. It's like you said at least 20 more years. I'm like, no, anyone can croak five minutes from now. And then we get into that conversation. And then I'm all into in my head. And then I'm going to be anxious and looking at you and worried about you. Do you have fears that I'm not going to wake up one more? I genuinely have that is when I comedy. What is the one question I ask you the most that pisses you off?
Starting point is 00:44:50 Are you OK? Are you OK? Are you OK? It's like every sound he makes at night in bed, even the one that I fucking hate so much. I play it. I wish it was a fart. Oh, the scratching? No. Oh, the water smell when I sleep. Yeah. Oh, my God. He just like I don't know what it is, but that's what that's what wakes me up. Yeah, I'll wake up and I'll just get a drink of water. She goes, are you OK? Can I drink water? Yeah, I need to get that out of my head. My worry, no matter worry for me is going to change any outcome. So it's like, what's the point of worrying? But you know, like I get so angry with him because I just want him to be healthy and he just really does not. He's so reckless with his body and it just pisses me off.
Starting point is 00:45:38 Yeah, I am. What does you thinking about? Does it make you want to get healthy for real for real or not really thinking about your death? Well, I did that. I did the hypnotherapist Sunday and it was impossible to start yesterday because I was shooting. You know, when I'm when I'm working on a set, especially it's like I just because of the stress of it, it's just it's it goes hand in hand. I think the most difficult difficult thing about quitting smoking, it's so tied into performing and stuff. Your process, you know, like when you're at like a night because, you know, you perform at nightclubs and you're around. I don't drink so people are boozing and, you know, having fun and all that stuff.
Starting point is 00:46:18 It's just a part of the. Also, you get anxious to do two shows a night in between shows. There's some anxiety, not nervousness, but it's just like, OK, you know, it's a packed room and I got to do it. You know, I have to, you know, and it's it's it's just tied into it. So we I also want to talk about, you know, I felt Chloe and I have been watching alone. Do you see the light list season? So if you guys don't know, you have to watch the show alone. It's such a good show. So and, you know, it's 10 survivalists that go out in the Arctic and they survive. And in this season, I don't want to get any spoilers, but I guess there is a spoiler here is the last two contestants is a man and a woman. Can I say that? Yeah. Yeah. And the woman there's a left. OK,
Starting point is 00:47:13 so you you have to last 100 days. And if you last 100 days in the Arctic, you get a million a million dollars. OK. This girl this girl is 11 days in. No, she's 89 days in. She has 11 days left. And she's like in the camera. I think I'm going to make it. But her her her tone and her spirit is like unlike you've ever seen. She's a fucking winner. Genuinely, the most inspiring the way that she was just going to that she was able to face those elements. And she had it. She fucking cracked her head. There's she had a fucking porcupine spine needle embedded on her shoulder. There's so many things that didn't go her way at all. But there was never a moment in the entire 10 episodes where she wasn't joyful, showing gratitude, being positive. Like I was in
Starting point is 00:48:09 awe. Like my jaws were on the floor. Like how was she how was she able to do this? So, yeah. And on the tip of her one of her toes, there's some frostbite. Oh, man. What? Dude, does that get turned into basically dead? Yeah, then gangrenous. Yeah, sure. OK. I'm not a medical man. But I'm pretty sure that you're right. OK. But it's at the tip of the toe. OK. And she's like, oh, wow, weird. I got frostbite on the tip of my toe, right? The fucking show comes in, right? When she has 11 days left, we got to take you out. And she's like, you know what? Yeah, the frostbite, you're going to lose your foot. Don't you think that that should be her decision? No. I think it was her decision, ultimately. No, it wasn't her. It was because I read her post,
Starting point is 00:49:04 her most recent post. What's a million dollars to a survivalist with no feet? A toe. No, it would have spread 11 days. A feet is not a toe. No way. Let's have this debate. If you're going to tell me right now, if you're going to tell me right now, Lila, we're going to amputate your big toe or even half of my big toe and pay you a million dollars. I'd be like, fuck no. For me, my toe is fucked anyway for the fungi. Take three. They're helping you. Take three for a million dollars. Who gives a fuck? Yeah, but okay, imagine this, Bobby, you sit at home. Your lifestyle allows you to take three steps a day. Like that's what you want to do, right? Is take three steps a day. I'm somebody who likes to hike and swim and do all that. No, fuck that. I want all of my... You can walk without
Starting point is 00:49:46 toes. I don't want to live a life without feet if it means for a fucking million dollars. That's fine, but if they would have said this on the show, if they would have said, listen, you might lose your toe, right? We would like to take you out, but it's your decision. They never prompted that for her? No, they were like, we're taking you out. She's like, really? She said that. Really? But she agreed. No, they were taking her out. No, babe. I think you read it differently than me. There's only one way to read it is they said, we're taking you out. And she's like, really? Yeah, she's like, but I feel great. I mean, great spirits. They're like, yep, your toe. We need to, if only we could get her on the show, then we could probably...
Starting point is 00:50:35 Well, I already asked her on her fucking Instagram, and then other Tiger Bradley fans were like, you should do it, but she didn't respond, so it's fine. Her name is Callie Russell. Yeah, Callie Russell. Fucking badass inspiration. She's such a badass, really inspirational, and she really... And the other girl too, Kylan? Oh my God. Because it was two women and a man at the end. Yeah. And the other girl, Kylan, oh my God, she's... Women are fucking tough, man. Yeah. You know, it's like, because in that episode, in that season, you had real marine, you know, like heavy duty, like a sniper. I'm a sniper for like special ops. Yeah. Like real tough guys, three weeks and they're done, right? You're talking about 70, 80, 90 days in, women
Starting point is 00:51:26 are like, fuck it, I'm in it. And all these tough guys are dropping out. These women are fucking strong, man. I think psychologically, they're always the most positive ones too. Yeah, in that show. They're always the ones who are a little bit more lighthearted, except for Jordan, because Jordan was the greatest from beginning to end. You saw that? Jordan's the best. Oh, I love him so much. Jordan's incredible. But anyway, Callie, I know, you know, I reach out to a lot of people on Instagram, you know, most people, like, who about Zach Braff? No response. No fucking response. I've asked. What's the English singer? Louis. Well, that's why he won't, because he knows that you can't even say his name, right? So why would he
Starting point is 00:52:13 come on the show? I just I get brain dead. There we go. I'll run into people I've known for 30 years and forget their name. Yeah, that's who I am. And that's what I do. So, you know, George was playing a war zone. You just angered Klyla, George. Why would you do that? I don't think you did. I don't think we did. Why are people why? Why now, George? Do you feel like excluded from the fraternity? Okay, I figured as much. Hey, Bobby and I watched a documentary called Fantastic Fungi. What is that about? It's basically how fungi and mushrooms are the lifeline of the universe, our lifeline of earth. I believe that. And how, you know, we always see them as like, you know, like they don't really we see them as either mushrooms or food. Our idea of fungi is very
Starting point is 00:53:06 limited. And it actually is sort of like the brain of the earth, and how fungi is able to like interconnect, like how trees communicate with each other, their uses in medicine, how their uses basically it's everything about fungi beyond just eating mushrooms. Well, you know, fungi and mushrooms, I've always been, I've been very interested in it in terms of food. Same here. And don't you I anyone that says, I don't like mushrooms to eat, they can go fuck their fucking selves. Like they can go fuck them, they'll fuck themselves right now. You don't like deliciousness. I mean, you're talking about truffle, black truffle. Come on, bonjour, bonjour. It's so fucking good. Shitake mushrooms. I didn't know that's how you said it.
Starting point is 00:53:58 How'd you say it before? Shitake. Stop. You just say shitake mushrooms. I was at a, dude, this is true. I was at a mad TV table read. Yeah. And I didn't ask you because my line was, you know, do you have any shitake mushrooms? So at the table read I go, do you have any shitake mushrooms? And the place went bananas. Great comedic choice, Bobby. No, they're like, you don't know how to read that because they know how dumb I was, right? I go, what is it? It's shitake. I go, oh fuck. That's my, are there any words that you, oh hell yeah, I've talked about it a lot on like, um, um, when we first started podcasting, I, it was hard for me to transition. Like, I didn't know that, uh, an option at restaurants would, they would ask you
Starting point is 00:54:49 soup or salad. So when they would say super salad, I was, I would always say no thanks, but that's because I thought they were asking me if I wanted a super salad. Oh, super salad. Super salad. So for years. You missed out. You missed out. I associated, because I ordered already like a big meal and I'm like, I don't want a super salad for that. And that's, I always thought that that was an additional cost. No, I don't want a super salad. But for years, America was super salad land. And also like, like, yeah, there's so many words like that, like Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. I didn't know that it said in that song, you'll go down in history. I used to sing it as yogle down in history. Like a yogle was a reindeer yodel. Like in my head,
Starting point is 00:55:37 I was able to justify it as, oh, a yogle is probably a reindeer song that they sing. Interesting. Well, when my dad used to sing frosty, the snowman, you go frosty, a good guy. And I just be like, what? Yeah. Yeah. I guess he's a good guy. Like my mom, she's to this day, she doesn't know that it's couch potato. She still calls it a potato couch. And she, when she yells, it was so hard to be serious when she would like yell at us, you're paying a potato couch. Well, we wouldn't correct her because our dad had this thing where he would get really upset when we would correct our mom's English. Disrespectful. Yeah, because she was like, he's like, he, my dad was one of those guys I was like, wait, I'm in the Philippines.
Starting point is 00:56:25 I'm the foreigner. Why am I going to correct the way you're communicating with me? He's like, if I understand you perfectly, and I get the gist of what you're saying, I'm not going to fucking police your grammar. That's my dad's take on things. So when, when we would try to correct our mom on potato catch, he's like, well, you know what she means, right? Because I can get the fuck off the couch. So why are you snickering? Is it snickering or snickering? Whoa, I'll take the front one. Cut. Whoa. Bobby cookware. Do not delete that. Don't delete that. Yeah. No, wait, what is the word? Can you please look it up for me? It's not snickering. Hold on. I think it is. No, I think it is right now. It's not. Yes, it is. It's snickering.
Starting point is 00:57:20 It's a give a smothered or half suppressed laugh. A snickering. I've never heard that. Never. George, am I losing my mind here? It's a new Oxford American dictionary. It says half suppressed. Oh my God. I thought I said something wrong. Common question. So that it really is a word snickering. Yeah, that's how I've always learned it. But then when I came to America, they, I would always hear snicker. And then when I would read it in books, it was the other version. So I got confused. So what does snickering mean again? Give me the definition. It's the same as snickering. It's a synonym. So you can actually replace it with snickering. So it's to snicker or to snigger. Yeah. So it's a word guys. Can you
Starting point is 00:57:58 use that word if you're with a black friend? I don't like this kind of stuff. I'm just asking. I'm asking if that, if that's appropriate. Call Ian Edwards. Call Ian Edwards right now. Can you call? Call Ian Edwards. Can I call him really? Yeah, call him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Also preface him with, this is an actual word. This isn't, just saying, my girlfriend said this was, she, when she said a sentence, she used the word and then I felt uncomfortable. Is it an actual word? All right. That's the truth. I honestly never, you've actually opened my eyes to something I've never known. You guys put malice behind it. Now I never want to say it again. I never even thought twice about it. Ian, Ian, Ian, you're on my podcast right now,
Starting point is 00:58:49 Tiger Belly right now. I have to ask you a question. How black is this question? I don't know why I call you for these, in these moments because I love you so much. I just think that. I love you so much, but I only call you when something black comes up. So, you know, so, you know, there's, there's a word out there that you can use, right? And I don't know if this is racist. Like if you were laughing, right, Ian? Could I say to you, are you sniggering? Sniggering. Yeah, that's an actual word. It means giggling, right? It's a snicker, it's a snicker. It's a snicker, but there's a word, you can call it snigger too. It's a synonym. It's a synonym.
Starting point is 00:59:45 You've never heard of that? No, no, no. Yeah, yeah. But would you, would you be offended if I said are you sniggering? Would that be offensive? I mean, listen, you can get away with it, but you know, based on the climate, you know what I'm saying? If it happens after you say it in front of somebody that's black that you don't know, it will happen. Reap the consequences is what you're saying. Yeah, I mean, it might be nothing. Right. I mean, it's like this, like this certain street names. I'm worried about my wife friend saying like La Siena girl or yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I have friends that just point at the sign. I know why you're pointing, I get it. Right, right. Sniggering is like, yes, it's on it. You can get away with it, but it's on the edge, bro.
Starting point is 01:00:44 Thank you so much. And also, are you in town or no, you in New York? No, I'm in town, bro. All right. So I would we would love to have you on the podcast in the next couple of weeks. That cool. All right. You'd come over. We're all COVID tested. We're very mindful. All right. I hope so. All right. I love you, buddy. All right. Bye. Take care, y'all. Oh, that's really funny. Oh, my God. I feel like so. I didn't, I didn't even, it didn't occur to me that there was a slur in that word until I said it and you guys laugh. It's a real word. It's a real word. Yeah, but it's like in New Oxford, American. They should just do away with it and make it snigger. Get rid of the work. Get rid of the work. DK is better. That's stupid. That's dumb.
Starting point is 01:01:27 But it feels like a very English word. Like, you know, something they'd use in England. Gosh. Yeah. Do we have an unhelpful advice? Unhelpful advice with Bobby. Good luck. Hello, Tiger Belly. I'm going to get right into this. I just found out that my high school best friend was adopted and he doesn't know it. He's 22 now and so am I. Me and him barely talk or hang out since we graduated high school, so it's much easier for me to keep this to myself. He seems happy with his life right now, but he is living a lie. I feel responsible to tell him the truth, but I have a feeling that it can mess him up seriously. What would you guys do in my shoes? Tell him the truth, knowing he could seriously damage him or just let him live his life knowing
Starting point is 01:02:02 he was not knowing he was adopted. I don't understand how he knows that and how his friend doesn't know it. Yeah. But let's suppose that's the truth. For me, it's just none of my business. Okay. You know, if I found out that you were adopted, maybe you I would. See, it's it because we're cool. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think I would be like, I don't want to know. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It depends. Like, if I see, let's say, for instance, if my best friend, Jessica, was adopted and I see that she's had a really balanced, healthy upbringing and she doesn't question herself and she doesn't have these like, you know what I mean? Like these things that are just where she feels like an otherness about her, then I'd leave it
Starting point is 01:02:43 alone probably and be like, look, dude, like I it's none of my business, especially if it's sort of if it's just a rumor and I don't know 100%. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know how definite definitive it is. But if if if there was a rumor and if I could see my best friend struggling and saying, you know what, I just don't feel like I like my mom and dad, I don't feel a closeness to them. I feel like they're so different from me. And if I can see parts of that line of questioning, I'd be like, you know what, I did hear this rumor, you know, I don't know who I heard it from. Then I would talk to her about it. Gilbert, let me ask you this. If you found out for sure that a couple of years ago,
Starting point is 01:03:21 Colilla had cheated on me. Yeah. Would you tell me or not? Yeah. I don't like infidelity. Yeah. How would you, how would you say it? Hey. No, no, you would call me. I would first talk to her. Yeah. You'd be like, you need to tell them because I feel like that's not my place. But what if she denies it? You know for sure, but she denies it. Receipts, baby. You got receipts. Oh, I would have to have receipts. Yeah. You don't have to have receipts. You can't just do that. Like, I would never confront anybody about their infidelity unless I knew that I knew all the evidence.
Starting point is 01:03:54 This guy, right? You run into this guy. He goes, dude, I just want to, I would never tell him. I'm just telling you. And I, dude, I'm just, I have nothing against them. And I have no, I'm not trying to get back at her, but dude, I did, was at a club and I did fuck her one night. Yeah. But that's just somebody like, for say, for instance, if, if I, if somebody did that to me, like with you, right? Or let's say Gilbert, like if it was the other way around and someone said, Hey, Colilla, do you know whatever Cindy Gilbert's girlfriend, like I had sex with her? I'd be like, who are you? I know Gilbert and Cindy really, really well, right? Who is this fucking person who I just met two seconds ago? I'm going to take their word for it and possibly,
Starting point is 01:04:37 you know, get in the way of their relationship. But then I would, I would talk to Gilbert and say, Hey, this person said this, you got to let me know what's happening here because all my interactions would be with her first before I even came to you to make sure you, babe. If you, if you found out that, um, if you find out Colilla was cheating, you would even confront her or you would pretend and then get physically hurt me. I wouldn't hurt her. No, I would never hurt her. Oh, that's sweet. I would never hurt her. Stop. But I would, what I would do is I'd probably, if I had definite proof, like video, but if she even told you would just leave, even if she told you, I wouldn't leave. What? No, I wouldn't leave. Would you try to work it out? I wouldn't work it
Starting point is 01:05:24 out either. Interesting. What would you do? Just live in this. Honestly, I think I would live in it for another year to do a transition and just think about it. Oh no, no, no. I know what he'd do with it. He would take that information and hold it over my head in case he needs to play more video games. No, no, no, no, no. Wow. No, no, no. But I would, I would have it in my back pocket so I could win an argument. I could never hold it. Yeah. I mean, like, did you do the dish? You broke the dish. I didn't break the dish. Did you break the dish? You cheated on me! Done. Game over. Did I win that one? Yeah, you would win that one. Yeah. Oh my God. I could never, when something hurts me, I am not able to not wear it on my sleeve. Like, I wear my emotions.
Starting point is 01:06:07 You really do. I cannot hold it. There's no, I can't conceal my feelings like that. When I'm hurt, I look hurt. Is that why you always ask, are you mad at me, babe? Are you mad at me? Is that why? Yeah. Okay. Anyway, what a great episode of Tiger Belly. What a fun solo. We talked about tumors. We talked about groundskeepers. The word, a new word. We learned a new word. Yeah, let's not say that word again. Let's go. That's why I just said it. I'm not saying it, but we learned a new word. We learned about what a groundskeeper is. So what an excellent informative podcast that we did. Yeah. I love you guys. Thanks for listening. Good night. Hey guys, thanks for listening. I hope you guys enjoyed that solo.
