Starting point is 00:02:04 I'll be by myself. Hi. Hey, we got a real special guest tonight. I didn't think that we could get this big, but, you know, I would run into him at the comedy store and he'd be like, yo, B, what's up? I want to be on Tiger Bell. I'd be, what's up, all right, you know, that kind of thing. And now he's here.
Starting point is 00:02:25 We have Russell Peters. Give him a round of applause. Look, I stayed quiet the whole time. That was very good. You wanted to say something. Yeah. Are you India? I'm the whole country.
Starting point is 00:02:36 You are. You, I mean, dude, it's like, I want to say this, I like to throw props out, can I throw some props out or what? Throw them out. If they're getting stale, throw them out. I know that they don't like it, right? But I want to say this, dude, but it's like, you're probably one of the biggest comedians on planet Earth, not in the country, but just in globally.
Starting point is 00:03:01 You're like one of the biggest. I was in Thailand, shooting a shitty movie years ago. I remember that was only two years ago, whatever. And I know, and the whole crew of this movie, Russell Peters is playing. Can you get asked me to get tickets? Right? So I texted, I never fucking got a text back from him. I got the text, but it was like years later, I think I got it and then I replied, but you
Starting point is 00:03:24 didn't get my reply. Maybe I didn't get your reply. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember. Do you remember that? I do. Oh, wow. It's probably in my history.
Starting point is 00:03:32 Yeah. But would you, but would you, if, if I, if we had talked, you would have got me some tickets? 100%. Oh man, I fucked up. I fucked the movie. It was June of 2014. Oh shit.
Starting point is 00:03:43 Wow. Really? You still have it. You don't delete anything. You don't delete things, huh? No, actually it was not June of 2014. That's when you asked me to tweet about you doing the Denver comedy works. I was desperate.
Starting point is 00:03:57 Yeah, dude. And then 2013. 2013? Oh my God. You asked me to tweet about your Tampi improv. And, uh, and then, uh, hey, it's Bobby. Can you do my tiger belly on Monday? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:16 Listen, can I do it the following week? And here we are. Russell. Okay. Those. Okay. Kind of just say something. I'm waiting for a third.
Starting point is 00:04:24 I need a third tweet for you. I will not stop until I promote. When I get desperate, when I get desperate, right, I reach out to people that I know that have a large following to help me out. Okay. And the reason why I went to you is because you did it every time I would go to other people too. They wouldn't do it.
Starting point is 00:04:41 And I really appreciate those little helps that you gave me. Well, thanks. Okay. Because you know what? You want people's finger? Is he chewing on your finger? He's chewing on my finger. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:04:52 He maybe thinks it's your dick, but, uh. That's why I'm covering my dick. Oh, really? Hey, Gobi, stop chewing on Russell Peters' finger. It's rude. And it's the same size. So what? Your fingers the same size as your penis?
Starting point is 00:05:05 Well, you know, for comedic purposes. Yeah. Yeah. But what does your penis look like? It's just regular, but it's thicker, you know. What do you mean? Like it does scare girls and they see it. Oh, that's bigger than I expected, and I was like, well, it's not longer than you
Starting point is 00:05:18 expected. Right, right. It's thicker. It's thicker. They're more concerned about the girth, apparently. They don't want to pipe cleaner either. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. We'd rather have a four by four than an eight by one.
Starting point is 00:05:28 I'm with you. So you don't want like a noodle dick or anything. Yeah. Why? With the long dicks, they'll reach your, like, fallopian tubes. Yeah, but they won't hit the sides of the wall. It's all about the wall. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:38 You could do this and not touch anything. They won't even know you're in there. Yeah, but if it hits the tip of your heart, then you're like, something's happening. You could, you could give them a little, uh, awakening. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, what's with you and my fingers? What is my dick, babe? Is my dick thick or skin?
Starting point is 00:05:51 What is my dick? Is it a four by four eight by one? It's just colorful. I have a lot of colors in my paint. We talk about it every week, but... You have a colorful penis? I have, like, four colors in that. Like, a distinct color.
Starting point is 00:06:00 Neapolitan ice cream, right? Mine is just basically two different shades of dark. Mmm. Purple, though, right? No, it's, it's, I'm Indian. Where it's, it looks like, my dick looks black like him. Just really that black? Well, not that black.
Starting point is 00:06:13 Oh, I'm sorry. I attacked you. I'm sorry. I attacked you. But... Yours is like pink and then lavender. That's the, that's the gradation order. It's like, like pink and lavender, then brown.
Starting point is 00:06:24 Yeah. Then like a very deep, deep, deep. Yeah, because I like to be interesting. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I think you have a choice, but... I don't have a choice in it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:33 I appreciate the fact that you have a multicolored penis. Thank you so much, Russ. So, um, I, so, I met you when? I think we met in like 2005. Yeah. I think I was intimidated when I first met you, but then I... I always felt like you didn't like me. What?
Starting point is 00:06:50 I've always felt like Bobby didn't like me. Wait, wait. When? Till when? I don't know. Maybe till recently, I think. Are you fucking kidding me? I always feel like I was, I always felt like you would be like, hey, and then just, and
Starting point is 00:07:03 I'm, then I, you know, maybe you're just a little... Someone else has said that. I know, but can I, but here's the thing. Is it a shyness? It's so funny that you say that, Russ. Is it a loof? What is it? It's...
Starting point is 00:07:13 No, no. What? It's socially weird, neurotic, and you just rest away. What I just said, you fuck nut. It's like this. It's like, I look... Okay. It's like when I look at you and I look at like someone like Chappelle or something
Starting point is 00:07:23 like that, I, in my head, I'm like, don't just be brief, right? Be nice, brief, get in and get out. Don't stay too long so they can really see your personality. So here's what I see when I see you. What? So that's Bobby Lee. And then I'm like, I don't think Bobby Lee likes you. He's always nice, but it's all, it always feels forced.
Starting point is 00:07:46 Like he has to be nice. And I'm like, I don't want him to feel like that. Are you fucking kidding me right now? I'm serious. That's what I was thought. Oh my God. I just had a fucking spiritual awakening. So my fears...
Starting point is 00:07:58 So people look at you the same way you look at them. You're not like Joe Schmoe comic. You're Bobby Lee when you say your name is people. It carries a lot of weight. I don't know about that. You almost said I know. I know, but I don't know, you know what I mean? You know, sometimes I go to like a, you know, a restaurant and they'll go, hey, this is
Starting point is 00:08:16 on us. And I'll go, yeah. I know. I know. But then sometimes I have to wait a long time in the restaurant and they treat me like shit. And then I don't know. Okay.
Starting point is 00:08:26 You know, like today I went to that one taco place on Larchmont. I sat there. Is it a vegan taco spot? No. Because Larchmont has those. They do. So gross. You know, I went to that one, that fancy one with the, with no name, with no name.
Starting point is 00:08:38 Yeah. Yeah. And I sat there for 30 minutes and I saw nine people order before me that they came up after me and then I kind of went, Hey, I was there before, you know, I made one of those things and then they made it seem like I was being rude. You know, so then I feel like, you know, oh, I'm a loser. Right. But then sometimes.
Starting point is 00:08:59 Just at the taco shop. I know. That's true. That's true. Just at Danny Trejo's taco shop. You've got the best of everything else. That's true. You know, I have poor self-image.
Starting point is 00:09:08 I think that I got to change. I think we both do. You do too? Yeah. How? Because, you know, when you grow up and you get it bullied when you're smaller, it sticks with you. It stays with you.
Starting point is 00:09:19 Yeah. You were bullied? Very much. In high school. Yeah. Right up until I was about 15, then I started boxing. Never got bullied again. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:09:27 You've been in fights then. I did. Yeah. I've been in with a lot of them. And you trained Jiu-Jitsu every day. I trained Jiu-Jitsu three times a week. I trained a train today. You're in a child.
Starting point is 00:09:35 That's why I've got a little headache today from training. You're in a child. You're in a child. Holy fuck. Yep. So you and I could roll around a little bit and then you could put me in a Kumura. If you want a Kumura, we could do that for you. Don't think so, man.
Starting point is 00:09:47 I don't bend that way, bro. Well, that's the whole deal. Oh, that's why it works. That's why it works. Oh, that's why it works. Because you'll be in pain. I don't bend that way and it hurts. It looks like somebody's already put you in one.
Starting point is 00:09:58 Yeah. I just got that today. Somebody just sent it to me. That's actually pretty good. It's dead on, huh? Yeah. Anyway. So you were bullied, so...
Starting point is 00:10:07 And they put the multi-colored stripes on your head to represent your penis. You see? Yeah. See, they're good. They're fans. They know. So at 15, you started taking martial arts. No, boxing.
Starting point is 00:10:19 Boxing, I mean. I just started boxing, yeah. But in Canada, there's bullies in Canada. Yeah. A lot of it back then. Especially, you know. What are you, the same age as me? How old are you?
Starting point is 00:10:28 47. I'm the same exact, 46. There you go. I'm the same age. We're the same guy. You got demographic. You know? That's amazing.
Starting point is 00:10:36 So yeah, back then, I was bullied, too. Yeah, because they weren't sure of what we were back then. I know. They were still coming off the wars. Fresh. Fresh. Yeah, yeah. You were just short after the Korean War.
Starting point is 00:10:47 Yeah. And they also didn't teach, like, political correctness back in the time. So it's like... And when I was in middle school, kids would still come up and do this. Oh, yeah. You know what I mean? Uncle, open the refrigerator, take out the coke or whatever that thing was. And then there was Chinese, Japanese, dirty knees, what are these?
Starting point is 00:11:03 Yeah. What the fuck is that all about? I don't know what that was. Yeah, who made that up? We had a different in the Philippines. What is yours? Did you grow up in the Philippines? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:12 Oh, wow. You don't even sound like it. Chinese, Japanese, and then the Korean, we'd split it really tight this way. Oh, wow. Shots fired. And we would say it like, Korea. Even in the Philippines. And the Filipino term for Chinese people?
Starting point is 00:11:25 Inchikbeho. Inchik, yeah. Inchikbeho. That's the dry spit, right? Yeah. That's what it is. Wait, wait. You would call Koreans inchikbeho?
Starting point is 00:11:34 No, inchik and Chinese. In Chinese, yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you have a lot of filchai we call them? Yeah. You guys hated Koreans, huh? No, no, we like, well, now we sort of hate Koreans. They hated the Japanese for sure. No, the Japanese we are.
Starting point is 00:11:45 Historically speaking. Oh, yeah, yeah. Koreans hate the Japanese too. Historically speaking. But currently, the Koreans are just ravaging. Yeah, but you let them inside you, didn't you? I do sometimes. I'm fortunate.
Starting point is 00:11:54 But only multicolored ones. Yes, multicolored diversity. Not any Korean dicks getting in there. Lavender-dick Koreans. Yeah. So you? Lavender-dick. Lavender-dick.
Starting point is 00:12:06 I'm Lavender-dick. Yeah. Yeah, is that the Lavender? So at 15, and then when did you start doing stand-up? 19, in 1989. Wow. Start then, then. 1989.
Starting point is 00:12:18 Yes, yes, yes. 1980, fucking 1989. You guys are the same age, but how did you get to start so? You started at 19. I started at 19. You were? When did you start? I started when I was 23.
Starting point is 00:12:28 That's why. Oh, you wasted time. But why? But in what motivated you at 19? I had no career plans. I was DJing, and I loved it, but there wasn't enough money, and there was better DJs. Yeah. And then I told my brother, because he was like, well, you know, at that age, that's when
Starting point is 00:12:48 your family starts going, hey, what are you going to do for, what are you thinking about doing for a living? Yeah. And you got to come up with an answer. I could know what you want to do. Yeah, you don't. And I told my brother, I was like, hey, I don't know, my cousin Andrew kept telling me, you're funny, you should go do comedy, you should go do stand-up.
Starting point is 00:13:04 Yeah. All right, so I told him, and then he was like, all right, let me take you down. So he took me to go see a. Clayton, did he take you down? Where? He took me down one night to go see like theater sports, which was like some. Oh yeah, like an improv game. I was like, hmm.
Starting point is 00:13:16 Yeah. He was like, it's good, but I don't think that's the one for me. And then he took me to Yuck X to go see Amateur Night. Yeah. And I was like, ooh, this seems more like it. And were you scared? Yeah, I didn't go on that first time. I just went and watched because I was like, I need to see what it is because I had already
Starting point is 00:13:33 been listening to stand. Right. I'd seen it, but not like that. And when you think about it and you know you're going to do it eventually, it kind of shifts the way you feel about life. You get excited. Your body, you can feel it in your body, right? And you're also scared and you have you feel feelings that you normally didn't feel before
Starting point is 00:13:56 more alive almost you feel that if I felt I felt in touch with what I heard like when I heard the laughter. I was like, ooh, that's something I I dig that. Yeah. I like that sound. Yeah. And then you didn't do kill or no. No.
Starting point is 00:14:15 Yeah. Either. You know, you get five minutes. I think I did. Yeah. And bailed. I was like, oh, that's enough. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:23 And then the next time I think I did two and a half. I was like, that's enough. Yeah. And then the first time I did that, the mic thing came off. Yeah. The little court thing and it fell to the ground and I spent a minute trying to get the thing into the thing. Right.
Starting point is 00:14:35 And I was eating it like I was sweating. Now when that happens, I know how to do it, but back then you don't know. Yeah. Yeah. It happened to me. Didn't just happen to me this weekend. I picked up the mic and it just fell right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:50 And I'm like, this has never happened before. I must have drank too much. Yeah. Where'd you play? I was at Wise Guys in Utah. Well, I play, I love that room. I just played there. The new one, right?
Starting point is 00:15:02 Yeah. It's nice. I just played it. It's a weird entry from the green room to the stage. And there's homeless people that kind of outside in the, in the, in the, in the, in the, yeah. And it was really cold. Really cold.
Starting point is 00:15:11 Yeah. And they're just out there. That's why, that's why that gig happened what, three months ago? Mm-hmm. That's why I quit smoking. Cigarettes. Did you? I used to smoke a packet, over a packet a day.
Starting point is 00:15:22 I know, I know you've been, uh, I know you've been sober for a long time. 15 years. 15 years. But I was on that stage and I couldn't fucking breathe. Yeah, but that had nothing to do with the smoke. That had to do with the altitude. I know. That's what I, I was, I was the same way.
Starting point is 00:15:36 I was like. I know. Yeah. I know. But in my head, I didn't know about the altitude. Yeah. I was, I'm walking around going, why the fuck am I so tired? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:47 Then I go, eh, I said to my assistant, I said, Eddie, check the altitude here. Oh, it's 4,000 feet. I go, oh, it's a thousand feet less than Denver. Yeah. Yeah. We're just under a mile up. But imagine not knowing that and you're walking around going, I'm dying. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:01 The whole time. The whole time. I'm dying. Who opens for you on the road? You take people? I do. I different people. That's what I do.
Starting point is 00:16:09 I bring, um, Jade Caterpreda sometimes. Who else do I bring? Candice. Candice. I used to bring, I like bringing girls. Yeah. Yeah. And they try to like bury me.
Starting point is 00:16:18 I want them to bury me. I do. I know what you're saying. You're like Mencia in that way. No, I'm not at all like headline 100% not Russell is in the only way that you're like him. Just listen to what I have to say. Okay.
Starting point is 00:16:33 But I'm using my own. I understand that. I know that you're writing your own jokes. You're an original comic and you're the best. I'm not saying that. I'm just saying in this one, give me a different instance or I'll give you a different fucking one. There's gotta be another comic.
Starting point is 00:16:47 You're like Joe Rogan in that way. Yeah. You know how Mencia like, um, but like they like to bring, they like to bring strong openers because I don't know what it is. I'm not that way. I don't, I don't like bringing shitty guys either. I just like people that are like, I gotta tell you why I brought a guy out once. We were playing Carolines and as he's done, you know, the host goes up and, you know,
Starting point is 00:17:12 we cross paths and this guy that I flew out there, he looks at me goes, follow that. What a dick. Right in that. That's gross. I fucking flew you all. Fuck you. Fuck not. You know, and he's trying to challenge me in that way and then in my head, I'm like, yeah,
Starting point is 00:17:30 he was doing things up there that was extra, right? So that I could struggle and I don't know how long, how long ago was that maybe eight years ago? You know, that's why you don't work with your co anymore. No, it wasn't, it wasn't him. But you know who I had opening for me in Utah? You'll appreciate this. Feng Shao.
Starting point is 00:17:51 I love him. Yeah. I have nothing to do with me. He's an Asian guy with an accent, but he doesn't seem FOB to me. And he is. He's only been here seven years. He is fresh off the boat, but he's one of those Asians, a great guy, but he's cool. He's cool.
Starting point is 00:18:06 He's had something hip about him. He's like a hipster Asian guy without being a hipster. Right. But he's also like more Chinese mafia kind of Chinese, you know, really dark. Yeah, I know. I love him. I love it. I was like, wow, it's good.
Starting point is 00:18:20 He's also, you know, a lot of Asian comics that are younger will walk up to me and go, Hey, my name is, you know, Trang. I do stand up too. You know what I mean? And they're like combative. Yeah. I get that too. Right.
Starting point is 00:18:33 Like they want to show that they've arrived, they've done been doing it for a bit. And so they come up like, you watch out for me. But Trang, my friend says I'm funnier than you. Well, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, go perform for your friend, fuckface, but Feng Shui is always lying. Feng Shui. What's his name? Feng Shao.
Starting point is 00:18:56 Feng Shui. Feng Shui. Feng Shui is always pointing the right way. That's for sure. Great career to go through. Feng Shao. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:06 We should have him. But he said that was better for the exact. The audience would love it. Fuck. Fuck Shao. Is that his name? Anyway, he's the type that comes up to me and goes, hey, dude, I saw you in this thing. So respectful too.
Starting point is 00:19:23 Yeah. Yeah. I saw you in this thing. I want to learn to be like you. Like he's in that way. Oh, that joke you do. I hope one day I write a joke that good. Without the Korean accent.
Starting point is 00:19:33 Whatever that is. That's what he sounds like to me. You know what I mean? That's right. That's right. My best. That's not a correct in chick accent. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:41 Whatever, baby. Fuck. Try my best. But anyway. And you know what's ironic? Because Yoshi came and hung out on the Saturday night. You know Yoshi. He hates me.
Starting point is 00:19:51 Yoshi does not hate you. He does. Yoshi does not hate you. I would know if Yoshi hated you. Have you asked him? I'm going to ask him right now. On speaker phones. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:20:01 He just texted me ironically. Did he? Are you with Bobby Lee? I guarantee you, if you get him on the speaker phone, don't even say you're on this podcast. I'm calling him right now. How do you feel about Bobby Lee? He's going to go crazy. Watch.
Starting point is 00:20:12 Shh. Don't say I'm here. Here. Here. Here. Here. Here. Here.
Starting point is 00:20:22 Here. Here. Here. Here. Here. Here. Here. Here.
Starting point is 00:20:30 Here. Here. Here. Here. Here. Talk to him. He's going to get what? What the fuck did I say?
Starting point is 00:20:38 I'll capture that. And number one. Listen, here we go. I want to say something. Oh yeah. Here we go. I don't want this to cost my friendship with Yoshi. Yea.
Starting point is 00:20:46 It's not. You're going to have to tell him that this stuff... I'm going to tell him. I'm going to tell you exactly what happened. Okay? Okay. Number one. By the way.
Starting point is 00:20:54 I got them auditioned at Matt TV. I tried to help the guy out. No? We were friends. Number one. I did DVD essay and they kept saying, putting me and Yoshi in the same category. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:21:10 I go, I'm a headline, you know what I mean? Like I was, so I was mean toward Yoshi on the podcast. In a defensive way? No, I was pretty mean, but in a joking way. You know what I mean? Like he's not even in, you know, whatever. And then one day I was at the comedy store and I said hi to him and it was like
Starting point is 00:21:28 he saw a ghost, like he saw through me. Oh wow. And I went, oh no. Saw through your bullshit? No, he knew, at that point he, you could tell that he hated me. And at that point I'm like, oh, just cool. I listened to those episodes on DVD essay.
Starting point is 00:21:45 Yeah. It was so jovial. It was like, it was like two seconds of like, we're not on the same level. And then you, you moved on. I don't know. Also I've never stolen a joke from Edwin San Juan or anybody.
Starting point is 00:21:56 What joke did I steal from them? I've never heard anybody say that about you. No one ever, ever say that. Now he's making shit, I'm despicable. And now he also wants me to get beat up in front of him. To death. To death, to death. In front of your useless parents.
Starting point is 00:22:10 Yeah, in front of your useless parents. Oh my God. I told you dude. I'm gonna, I'm gonna have to sit down with you Oshie. He's such a nice guy. You know what we gotta have, you know what we have to do is this. He's a really sweet guy.
Starting point is 00:22:24 I know, I know he is. That's the weird thing for me. It's like, wait, he's actually one of my really good friends. Yeah, I know. That's why I'm shocked I didn't know this. Yeah, but I was- He's Korean, right? Oh no, he's-
Starting point is 00:22:34 No, ethnically Korean. He's ethnically Korean, yeah. But born in Japan. Japan. And family changed the name to Japanese. Okay, so the Korean Han, the K-Rage doesn't apply. It doesn't apply, but he, I didn't even know. I thought he was mad at me,
Starting point is 00:22:47 but now by listening to him, it's worse than I thought it was. It's like vitriol, like pure hatred. It's pure hatred. It's not, it's not something I think is fixable. Neither. I don't think you should try. I don't know how you try to fix it on the phone.
Starting point is 00:23:01 Whoa, whoa, I think it's fixable. I, you know, I think over some kimchi it might work. No, no, no, I think just this. I think if you could set it up, okay, where Yoshi can do this podcast. And you guys hash it out? And we hash it out on the podcast. I also live in this house
Starting point is 00:23:17 and I'm gonna veto that decision. Why? I don't want him to know where you live. He wants you beaten to death in front of your useless parents. It's more, it's more idle chatter when it comes to it. Figurative.
Starting point is 00:23:26 It's more figurative. The death thing is figurative. Also, it's out there. He's not gonna like. He's not a violent human. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He used to give me porn for God's sake. Oh, that's a nice gesture.
Starting point is 00:23:35 That's a good gesture. Like years ago, he used to go, Bobby, I mean, he was in Lanker Shimp somewhere, like three in the morning on a street corner. I got a bag of porn for you. I would drive there. He would give me a fucking garbage bag full of porn. Yes, I still have a,
Starting point is 00:23:48 I could fill that old fucking counter thing up with the porn I still have laying around my house. Yeah. He used to give it for like, he worked there for like some sort of warehouse, right? Yeah, no, he worked for Evil Angel. Oh wow. The porn company.
Starting point is 00:24:00 Yeah, yeah. But that. I really gotta let him know that I've been talking about him on this podcast before it comes out. Well, I want to say this just on group level, you know, that I have no hard feelings toward him. I found that what he said there, I really kind of want to make amends to him now
Starting point is 00:24:16 because that was like deep. It sounds like you really did hurt him in one way or another. It sounds hurt. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I fucked him. Yeah. And you have to figure out exactly how you fuck them and you have to be genuine about that.
Starting point is 00:24:27 The only thing that I know I already fucking said it was that I fucking was talking shit about him on DVDS. But what happens is when people are angry, they're very specific about that type, with the anger they're holding. So you can't be, do a broad sorry. Sorry for everything. You gotta be specific.
Starting point is 00:24:40 This is what I hear. I'm sorry Yoshi for talking shit about you on DVDSA. I think that you're a very funny guy. And I didn't know him and David had a falling out. Yeah, he doesn't like him either. But it seems like, I thought, you know what made me feel good? He hates me as much as he hates David Cho.
Starting point is 00:24:56 But that's not what it sounded like. It sounded like he hated David, but he hated me. He wants to like, if I died and I had a funeral, he would like dance on my grave and kiss on my grave. Couple body rolls. Yeah, yeah. I mean, he hates me. I'm a little shocked by all of this.
Starting point is 00:25:14 Watching your face the whole time was like, what? And then your brother was like, fucking cut it off. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, you know what? I'm glad that that happened. I, it really was, I'm despicable. What else did he say? I should be beaten to death.
Starting point is 00:25:32 I already know that one claim, all right? In front of your useless parents. In front of my useless parents. What the fuck was that about? I don't know. My parents. I didn't have a stroke. Your dad didn't have a stroke.
Starting point is 00:25:42 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe he was, he's clearly less useful than he was. Wow, wow, wow, wow. Someone had sent me a clip of an episode on his podcast where he goes into detail about how much he hates David's show and then the dynamic between each brother in the family and his mother and how he has mommy issues, everything. Who?
Starting point is 00:26:04 Yoshi. Yoshi. Oh, wow. And I was like, wow, he, I think that there's a very, you know, you guys really made him feel some type of way. Yeah. Well, because he really admired David before, I think. And he, you know, he probably admired you the same way. So he feels like, I mean, I fuck with him all the time.
Starting point is 00:26:19 So I don't know why I took it personally from you guys. Yeah. And I, like, I fucked with Yoshi all the time. Yeah, but you fuck with him in front of him, right? You don't go on the side. Well, now I just did. I know. This could cause a war.
Starting point is 00:26:31 I think, yeah, I'm literally gonna have to call him as soon as I get out of here, but like, hey, Yoshi, just so you know. I'm gonna say this right now, we're not editing in this part. I'm gonna let him know. It's too good. To me, I just cannot do it. I apologize.
Starting point is 00:26:45 How about this? To rectify it, we can plug his podcast. Yeah, what is, yeah, what's Yoshi's podcast? Does he still have a podcast? Oh, maybe not. I don't know. Wasn't it called, what was it called? Yoshi didn't.
Starting point is 00:26:55 Yoshi didn't. Yoshi didn't. Fine Yoshi didn't. You guys should listen to Yoshi Didn't. It's a great podcast. Sign up for it. He's a very talented, young, very funny. He's older than both of us.
Starting point is 00:27:05 I know, yes, I know. Very funny stand up, you know? He looks really young. He does. Yeah. Dare I say younger than you, Bobby? God, I just. That kind of hate will keep you young.
Starting point is 00:27:13 I'm just. Good to know. I'm just rattled by it. How do we move on? No, just give me a second. You need a seg? No, I'm fine. Throw in a seg.
Starting point is 00:27:22 I kind of angry that he brought my parents into it. Well, I mean, you know, in the Asian world. You're not useless. In the Asian world, what better way to insult somebody than the parents? You're going to lose to my fucking parents. I mean. You're very Asian.
Starting point is 00:27:33 What? Because it works. It does work, it does. Did he know I was listening in? And because, no, he didn't know. Oh yeah, he didn't know at all. Sure, he might have suspected something was going on and I almost want to call him back right now.
Starting point is 00:27:43 But like, Yoshi, I got to tell you something. Oh yeah, call him back now. Oh my god. You guys, this is giving me so much anxiety. I'm like, what? Yeah, yeah, yeah. My tits are sweating. It's fine.
Starting point is 00:27:54 I also want to say Russell is that when I hear some of your openers, like, I open for Russell and he gave me a gold watch. Is that shit true? I never give him a gold watch. No, but people say that. Like, he gave me like a golden diamond hubcap. Yeah, it just depends on where they've opened for me. Like, if they've been on tour, like on the international tour,
Starting point is 00:28:14 you get a watch. Oh, wow. Like, what kind of watch? Like a Breitling or a Tag Hill or something. And how much are they? Like, somewhere around the $5,000 to $7,000 mark. Wow. You should open for him.
Starting point is 00:28:28 I know, I'll not do that. Opening up for Russell. You and Yoshi. You and Yoshi should just do it. Artwork by David Cho. Yeah. But when you go on, like, European tours and these tours, like, you play in front of thousands, right?
Starting point is 00:28:43 Yeah, we're like 16,000. Oh, my. Like in England, 16,000. Yeah, what are we doing? It's a UFC event. What's the size of the one we're doing? Wembley? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:50 Oh, my God, Wembley. Wembley? You're doing Wembley. I'm going to do Wembley this time. You're doing Wembley this time. We did the O2 five times. Oh, my God. And then I guess we're going to do Wembley this time.
Starting point is 00:28:59 And then you do Wembley. How many seats is that? That's it? That's how they scale it. Oh, they scale it. I don't know why they do that. All right. We'll probably try and do two. Like, if you do a show like in India, for instance,
Starting point is 00:29:12 how many seats is that? Probably like nine to 10 or something like that. Because it's hard to get venues over there. Right. We did one in a field and a wild fucking pig ran through it one night. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:24 Do you have the picture of it? Yeah, you have a picture of it. A wild boar, like, fucking ran right through the crowd. So you're on stage. And I have to have fans facing me on stage because there's so many bugs. And I have to stand there so that the bugs don't eat me alive out there.
Starting point is 00:29:40 That's how many bugs are up there? Yeah, like mosquitoes and moths and shit. Oh, my god. Like these are Indian ones, so they're extra hardcore. Yeah, yeah. What's the best place, though? I don't know. Like, the best audience on every tour consistently
Starting point is 00:29:56 has been Auckland, New Zealand. They've always been the most receptive. And they've just been great. Have you done the Philippines yet? I have. Manila? Not the entire country, but just Manila. How many seats is that?
Starting point is 00:30:07 What was it in Manila? It wasn't that big, was it? It was a theater. It was a theater. I think it was maybe like 5,000 or something, right? And we had Rex Navarrete. He was in town, so he came in. Oh, my god.
Starting point is 00:30:18 He opened for me. That was nice. Imagine. Killer. Killer. So in terms of like, you know, American, you're probably the biggest Indian comic in the world. The Indian comic, 100%.
Starting point is 00:30:29 For sure. That doesn't make you feel proud? No, because I just look, it's kind of like somebody's. I know. You're a human being. I know. Not like that. But if somebody has to find you as a Korean comic,
Starting point is 00:30:40 you're like, no, I'm actually just a comic comic. Yeah, I mean, for me, it's like, you know, I don't ever want to be like, he can only play Koreatown. Yeah, and that's the same with me. Yeah, I want to play, you know. Wembley. Not Wembley, but I would love to play Wembley. I want to play mixed rooms.
Starting point is 00:30:55 I want to play. That's my favorite. Yeah, you are like that too. The more mixed, the better. Yeah, yeah. Because I just don't want to, you know, and only if I only had a Korean audience, I wouldn't make a living. Well, there's that.
Starting point is 00:31:06 And then you just kind of feel like I got some sort of crutch I'm using here. I don't like it. Yeah. And it's also weird in Toronto, I did a Yuck Yuck Sarah and the guy was like, it's so weird. I advertised in every Asian magazine, your show. And he goes, but the audience is like 90% white.
Starting point is 00:31:26 Because that's not my thing, you know, which made me feel good, actually. It's like Henry Cho. Yeah. What do you mean? I mean, you know, he wouldn't get an all Korean audience. He would get like one. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:37 Yeah. He's a little too. No, I like him, though. You know, I've never met him. He's so nice. Is he? Oh, yeah. He's one of the.
Starting point is 00:31:45 Is he still doing it? Yeah. Oh, good. He does. He does clubs, but he lives in Nashville. That sounds right. Yeah. And I think he's married to a white lady.
Starting point is 00:31:53 But yeah. I have no idea who this is. The fuck you think was going to happen. One time. I'm shocked you're with a half Filipino girl. Why? I'm shocked, too. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:02 I thought you would have been with a white girl. For Koreans, we are in the lowest rung of Asians. Two Koreans. The Filipinos are in the. Well, the Koreans are the master race. Yeah, they see, yeah. And then, I mean, same, but the Bombayas are the same. Yeah, Bombayas and Filipinos are in the same level.
Starting point is 00:32:16 Yeah, yeah. And I think that Bombayas and Filipinos, we compete, too. We're like, no, Bombayas are lower. And then the Bombayas say, no, Filipinos are lower. Well, no, in the Philippines, the Indians are like the threat. Yeah. So they'll be like, if you don't go to sleep, the Bombayas will come in the air.
Starting point is 00:32:30 Oh, yeah, yeah. And your blood would run down the streets. I'm like, how fucking violent are we? It's like urban legend over there. And they call us 5'6". Wow. Yeah, because we lend you five. We want back six.
Starting point is 00:32:41 That's what. Well, that was in South Africa. They were like, they said the Asians are third class citizens. Which Asians yours? I don't know. Like the Cape Malaise? I don't know. I showed up and we would do these meet and greeds.
Starting point is 00:32:52 And I would do well in these shows, but no one would say good job to me. And it got to the point where other comics weren't even saying it to me like, wow, you don't get any compliments. I know it's fucking weird, but. Where'd you grow up here in Cali? San Diego. Oh, yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 00:33:08 Yeah, that's right. The Lijala Club is your. Me and a. Me and a. Me and dad. Wait, who is that? That's him. Is it really?
Starting point is 00:33:16 Yeah, we're both from San Diego. I just saw him somewhere. Is that a recent picture? Yeah, like six months ago. Yeah, I saw him floating around at one of the clubs. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's floating around lately. What are you doing here? It's a comedy club.
Starting point is 00:33:27 Yeah. I can't believe you just. All right, call him up. Let's do it. We can't make too many enemies in one show. Too many enemies. No, dad and I, he's like, I really, him and I have known each other since the beginning.
Starting point is 00:33:42 And he's motivated. He motivates me. There's always somebody that motivates you. You have a motivator? You don't have to name names. I'm not a specific person, but I think just people make me go, all right, OK, I see what's going on there. I have a box in my heart and I have names in it.
Starting point is 00:34:02 And I do. And I'm not going to ever physically get revenge, but they're like my fuel. It's like, you'll see one day. Oh, you're going to act like this? Well, one day you'll see. I'm exact same way. Why is it?
Starting point is 00:34:15 That's not healthy. It is healthy because we use it the right way. We're not out there making a list of who to kill. Sorry, Yoshi. Yeah, we got to get Yoshi. I don't give a fuck. We got to get him. I feel I don't want to die.
Starting point is 00:34:35 I feel like I'm going to die. You're not going to die. OK, thank you. You promise me? He's not. I feel like you should be here for when he comes. Yeah, you might have to be. Yeah, pad the strong emotions.
Starting point is 00:34:46 He's vindictive. He's not psychopathic. Right. But I have that. Wow, there's levels to being vindictive. Verbally vindictive. I just verbally. OK, good.
Starting point is 00:34:55 But are you happy for people, though, when they get success or not? Sometimes. Yeah. I think I have a natural born player-hater system built into me where I do this. I go, huh, all right. I guess I'm happy for them.
Starting point is 00:35:12 Yeah. Because it never happens to the people you really want it to happen for. And that doesn't mean you or I. It just means, like, why wouldn't that guy get it? But why would that guy get it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I always felt that about, like, I mean,
Starting point is 00:35:25 I like him as he's in Zari, but I know. But I'm just saying, I always felt like my argument was always like. I've never heard somebody say that, though. What? I like him. I mean, I don't know him that well. Nobody does.
Starting point is 00:35:37 But the interactions I've had with him have been cordial. So I don't want to, like, tip that, you know? I don't know him. I know you much better. But I've always used this as an argument. It's like, Hollywood, there's a disconnect between what the executives and all the people that run the fucking thing, right?
Starting point is 00:35:56 And what's really going on in the streets and in the world, right? So when you see somebody who you know is original, killing it, this and that, they might not necessarily be on the radar of Hollywood. So the problem is it's the question of book smart versus street smart. And the book smart only goes for the book smart,
Starting point is 00:36:18 because they recognize that. Yeah. And the street smart scares them, because they can't figure out, I don't know, is this guy a loose cannon? No, you fucking retard. I'm just trying to do my thing. This is what drives me.
Starting point is 00:36:30 This is why I do this. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Very rarely do they go after the guy that's passionate about it. Or they go after somebody who's like new, very green. And you're like, can you let them prove it a little bit? How many get at them? Maybe on their second or third special. Let's see where they're at then.
Starting point is 00:36:47 Yeah. Like that kid that's in that Silicon Valley, the Asian community with the long hair, he's very funny. Jimmy O'Yane? Yeah, Jimmy, right? But you could feel that he is the Asian of the year. But Jimmy is so funny. I know he is.
Starting point is 00:36:59 I'm not saying, I didn't, did I just say that? I just fucking said he was funny. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. He's fucking nice though. I love you fucking defensive. All right? I just fucking said that he was funny. Does he do stand up?
Starting point is 00:37:09 Yeah. Yeah, he does. I've met him and he was very nice to me. He was very hammered, but it was very nice. Yeah, he was so nice to me. I came up to him and I go, do you're killing it? And he goes, oh my, I appreciate it. I didn't even recognize him when he said it.
Starting point is 00:37:20 I was like, who is this drunk Asian kid? Yeah. And then I'm watching a Silicon Valley go, oh shit, that's a guy. That's a guy, right? But I'm just saying that he is the flavor of the year. I see what you're saying. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:34 Not necessarily with him, but I see what you're saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or like I saw that gay Asian guy, the Korean guy on TV. I was just with Jim Cole, Kim Booster. He's a gay Korean. Handsome? Handsome. New York.
Starting point is 00:37:47 Yeah. You're from New York. Yeah. So I turned the channel and I see him. I see a couple of bits. He's a very good writer. Chicago. But in my head, I'm like, oh god, he's so handsome.
Starting point is 00:37:56 Yeah. He's fucking Korean. Oh, I'm going to kill myself. I mean, there's always that thought. I'm with you. Yeah, yeah. Exactly what you're saying. Yeah, it's over for me.
Starting point is 00:38:05 Yeah. So I was like, these ones are taking my, they don't want what's good. They want that. But you know what? Here's the thing though. And this is what I say to anyone that's in my age group and time is that I know I'm not going to quit.
Starting point is 00:38:25 And I'm going to be the last guy standing. I'm same. I can't. I cannot. I can't see myself doing something else. Neither. Even when I'm acting, I'm still like, this is great. But it's a lot of fucking work that I'm not ready to do.
Starting point is 00:38:36 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll do it. I enjoy it. I like when the product comes out. But I'm like, you know, if this was standup, I could have been sleeping all day. Oh, yeah. I would have been done in an hour.
Starting point is 00:38:48 Yeah. But it's like. And I would have made more money. I'm a cockroach. I really am. I mean, I can't. Do you screw when the lights come on? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:58 I mean, people go, why won't he go away? And I'm just going to be here. And even if they're not calling me in for things, I'm just going to stick around. And I think that's right there. You're going to live through a nuclear war? I want to be like Dom Herrera. Because Dom still loves this game.
Starting point is 00:39:17 And he's so, he's never shitty about anything. Let me talk. I'm going to talk about Dom Herrera. Put the camera on me. Let me see about Dom Herrera. Dom Herrera, right, is how at 60 something, right? Yeah. Right.
Starting point is 00:39:31 He still, yeah, I was talking to Dov Davidoff about Dom. Love Dov too. I love Dov too. He still seems like a young comic. Because I don't look at him as an older guy. Even Eddie Pepitone when I see him. Eddie Pepitone, I look at him as like just a regular comic. And I don't even think about their age.
Starting point is 00:39:52 But that's what I want to be. I want to be a guy. Yeah, they're still motivated. Yeah. I mean, I saw Louis Anderson the other night. And Louis is a sweetheart too. He's a sweetheart. But he looks a little old to me.
Starting point is 00:40:02 Well, I mean, you know, he's a. Bobby. Yeah, I mean, oh, fuck hi. Yeah, fuck yeah. He was sitting. Was he sitting when you saw him? No, he was leaning against the wall of the store. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:14 He's a nice guy. He's a sweetheart too. One of the nicest. Hi, Russell. When are we going to have? I don't know. He would do it better than I do. Howie Mandel.
Starting point is 00:40:23 Howie's awesome. Howie's my next door neighbor. Is he really? He lives directly across the street from me. Oh my god. So I look at Howie's house. I love him and his wife. He's just the nicest guy.
Starting point is 00:40:32 I've known Howie since I started. Because he's from Toronto as well. Yeah, yeah. I like all those older guys. All those older guys have a class about them. Yeah, it's just they're non. It's not that nothing's a competition to them. It's like, we're doing the same job.
Starting point is 00:40:46 Isn't that great? Yeah. And the young kids are all like, look at me. Fuck you. Look at me. Yeah, yeah. They're part of the fuck you look at me generation. That's why.
Starting point is 00:40:53 Yeah. I mean, we're ahead of them. So they're trying to get our attention. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A lot of them didn't have fathers, you know. Is that? I don't know. Fuck, I made that up.
Starting point is 00:41:03 Or it's true. Or it's true. We don't know. I don't know. But like, I do this game show. I did it one time, but it was with me. John Lovitz, Louis Anderson, and Caroline Ray. I know the one.
Starting point is 00:41:14 You did that one? No, I want to do it. You should do it. We should do it together. The Byron Allen one. Yeah, yeah. We should do it together. What happened to that one, Toots?
Starting point is 00:41:21 I don't know either. Yeah. But I did. It's great. It's great money for one day of work. Is it money, too? A little bit. Oh, good.
Starting point is 00:41:27 Not your money, but fine, fine. Yeah. Money and money makes me happy. And I was sitting right at first. I'm going, God, am I this old? You know, just in my head. But then as I'm like doing the shows with these guys and we're like bantering and John Lovitz is making me laugh
Starting point is 00:41:43 so much, he's so good fun. Hey, hey, Bobby. Yeah. When are you going to do my club? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I was going, you know what? This is this feels so fucking fun. You know what?
Starting point is 00:41:57 You know what it is about that? That has that the feel of TV that we grew up watching. Yes, that's what it is. Like, like, you know, you and I did the match game in Canada. Yeah, we did. But it's like watching that is like watching the Hollywood Squares in the 70s or match game in the 70s. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:13 Where the celebrities all look like they were having a good time. Nobody was there for any other reason. But fuck it. Let's just do this. And they were ripping on each other. Yeah, I love that. Yeah, I was.
Starting point is 00:42:22 Everybody's just way too sensitive now. Yeah, you know, all of them. I'm on us like a sitcom with Oliver Hudson. Which sitcom? It's not out yet. But Oliver Hudson. He's Kate Hudson's brother. Oh, OK.
Starting point is 00:42:34 You know, Goldie Hunt's first son, right? And he was saying growing up in the house, Goldie. Wait, he grew up in a house? Yeah, Goldie and Kurt Russell. And they would have like. Who's his father then? Not Kurt Russell. Not Kurt Russell.
Starting point is 00:42:48 Oh, wow. But Kurt Russell was his stepdad and was his father. And he was saying like, you know, they would have these parties and everyone would come in Hollywood like Jack Nicholson would be in the pool and all these people and everyone in Hollywood just used to all come and come together and have a good time and families knew each other.
Starting point is 00:43:07 He goes, that's completely missing from the thing. I just think that at least as comics, we should have or try to create that kind of vibe where we bring over. I think Jeff Ross is trying to do. He's trying to do it. Yeah, because he has those little get-togethers at his house and he always invites you whenever I go.
Starting point is 00:43:26 It's just a bunch of everybody. Yeah, yeah. I think Harlan's done it a couple of times. Yeah, Harlan's a great guy too. I love him. I love Harlan. Again, Canadian. What is about Canadians?
Starting point is 00:43:36 A lot of good ones. We're just, you know. You guys are nice. I just did this thing. I went to Carol Burnett's taping over 50th anniversary thing. She's still alive? Yeah, she's doing great. And I was standing backstage with Martin Short and Jim Carrey.
Starting point is 00:43:50 I love Martin Short. And we're talking just Canadiana. But Marty Short on the show was so fucking funny. And so was Jim Carrey. But Martin Short was like this type of funny where you're like, god damn, this guy's, it's not like he, you know, it came back to him. He's just so good.
Starting point is 00:44:07 Not only that, he makes you feel. And no attitude. Right. He makes you feel like you're a part of his group. He's inclusive. Because I did a benefit show once. And he was sitting there. He sat next to me, his legs were crossed.
Starting point is 00:44:23 He was telling stories. He was being so fucking funny and pulling people in and walking. I'm like, this guy is fucking unbelievable. You know, even Jim Carrey's nice. You know, the couple of times I've met him. Yeah. That was the first time I'd met him. Was he nice?
Starting point is 00:44:38 He was nice. Yeah, yeah. It took him a second. Because I think he was like, wait, hold on. Even when Martin Short was on, like the today show or something. And they were asking, how's your wife? Remember she had died? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:49 Oh, god. Right. So you could see this. They were like, how's your wife? And he didn't want to say on a morning news show that she died. So he's like, she's great. Oh, man. Right.
Starting point is 00:44:59 And then the next day, they did an apology. We are so sorry to Marty Short that we didn't realize. You know. Yeah. Yeah. But he didn't even say anything. My god. He's so nice.
Starting point is 00:45:10 Like he said to me when he sees me at the caravan, I think goes, you know, I saw your name in the audience. And I was like, why is a man of your stature here in the audience? And I'm like, what? My stature, you're fucking Martin Short. I mean, you know what I mean? Of anything, I should be thanking you for just knowing my name. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:27 Wow. We're lucky, huh? Yeah, but you got we got it. Have any of us people? Am I going to die? You know she's going to kill me. But you had some great memories along. Listen, guys, if they find my dead body.
Starting point is 00:45:43 In front of your parents. In front of my parents. My useless parents, right? It's one of three people. OK. Yeah. Who are the other two? Who are the other two?
Starting point is 00:45:52 Who else do you think that may be? I feel like that fan. Dad fan, maybe. No, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no. Forget that. He only drag and kicked you in the chest just once. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:00 He got it. Altercation. Yeah, altercation. I think he got over it. I got over it. We both got over it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just want to be I want to be a better person.
Starting point is 00:46:09 And this Yoshi thing, just I just want to revisit it was just real quick is the problem with these kind of podcasts is I talk a lot of shit. And I don't know what I'm saying. I don't even mean 90% of the things I'm saying. No, I'm with you. Sometimes we just say shit to say shit. Why?
Starting point is 00:46:26 And then people are like, why'd you say that? I know. I didn't even know I did. Yeah. And then we're like, we can't play it ignorance. You're like, it's not ignorance. It's just it was, you know, fucking stream of consciousness. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:39 You know, it was just no editing is all it was, no filter. But I'm just kidding. I'm never serious. I'm always playful and weird in that way. But people take me literally sometimes and that is where you're in trouble. Is that better, guys? I think that you're just there's a part of you.
Starting point is 00:46:53 I'm free. It's a childlike innocence. There we go. That's exactly what it is. Childlike innocence. You know? I always admire your when you're on stage that your ability to just tap into that consistently.
Starting point is 00:47:08 And when I watch you, I go, fuck. I want to be able to have my guard down that far. And what it is, is this though, it's really just fear. I think what you're reading is fear. No, no, and that's fine. But you flipped it into bravery. Thank you. Thank you so much.
Starting point is 00:47:29 I've learned so much today. I really have. You know, we possible demise. I have a question. Yeah, whether it be physically or career. I have a question for the both of you. Since we're almost all Asian in this room. There's this guy on USA Today.
Starting point is 00:47:48 A trans-racial man born white says he feels Filipino. And he changed his name. He now considers himself Filipino. Fills out paperwork as Filipino. And but he's like fully white. Like he's a white guy. He looks like this. OK, he's thoughts.
Starting point is 00:48:04 And what's his name? His name now is Jadoo. Jadoo? Doesn't even sound Filipino. Looks like David. He'd be like June or boy or something. Yeah. Let me say something about that guy.
Starting point is 00:48:14 OK, that dude is fucking crazy. Why would you want to be? I mean, if you're white, isn't that the lottery? Yeah, isn't that the lottery race? Like if I was white, I don't know what would happen to me. What would happen to me? I think, you know, people have taken this. We've got rights thing a little too far.
Starting point is 00:48:32 We have rights, but we also need some parameters. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's why there's always fine print. And these people aren't reading the fine print anymore. It's like, I don't want to identify as this. Yeah. This is headphones. It's not a microphone.
Starting point is 00:48:46 What is he going to do? He's going to like get a tan. Is he a nurse? He has to switch his job. He has to switch his whole identity. But he says that because he grew up with a lot of like Filipino cultural events and because he watched the History Channel a lot,
Starting point is 00:49:03 and nothing else intrigued him more than things that were Filipino related, even the history of the Philippines. Something like that, where we raped and pillaged for like 300 years, that's attractive to you. I grew up around black people, but I don't go around and identify as a black man. I understand them. Doesn't mean I identify.
Starting point is 00:49:20 I can't identify as a black man. But you're always surrounded by a cross mix of people. That's another thing I've always noticed about you. There's always like a skinny Puerto Rican or like, you know. Why always skinny? Why not a large Puerto Rican? Or like, you know what I mean? Because the big pun does.
Starting point is 00:49:33 A weird white vampire looking white dude. There's never a white dude. And African Americans fell out like this guy. I'm an African Canadian. He's a black guy. Why don't you say black? You're Canadian, right? Yeah, but he's black.
Starting point is 00:49:48 What is your black? You keep me a hug earlier downstairs and now you're acting all hard. You see me hug earlier and now you're acting all fucking like he's just sitting in my face about it? He's all up in your face. By sitting in the corner, the farthest corner away from you. He's, uh, look at him.
Starting point is 00:50:05 You're stand up, right? No. He doesn't do stand up? No. I made him in the game show. Yeah, he was just, because he's from Toronto. It's my hometown. We grew up together, you know?
Starting point is 00:50:13 Does he work in the Russell Peters? Yeah, he's part of the Russell Peters camp. Right. What is your job in the Russell Peters camp? To make sure people don't record me when I'm on stage. Do you have that guy? He's an anti-pirator. Wow.
Starting point is 00:50:30 He's a part of the anti-piracy committee. That's true. That's necessary. A lot of your shit's on the blinds. Yeah, but if you're like, there's a 10,000-seat venue. We have a bunch of them. He's in the fucking, oh, there's a bunch of them. Yeah, we got a bunch of them.
Starting point is 00:50:41 And would you walk up and go, no taping? They have lasers. They point at people like, ah, nice. We see you. Oh, you have a laser. Whoa. Do I need one of those? Nah, no gives a fuck.
Starting point is 00:50:52 Let me see. I just play clubs, man. Tiny little clubs. You could go out and do a theater run if you wanted. No, you know what I need. I think if I do a special, I've never done a special. Are you sitting me? No.
Starting point is 00:51:04 Please do a special. I'm going to do a special. If once I do a special, here's my plan. Hopefully the sitcom will stay on for a little bit. And during that time. Yeah, but everybody knows you from Mad TV. And who cares how long ago that was? And a backhanded cabaret.
Starting point is 00:51:23 And kicking at old school. Listen. How long ago was that? Shot in Canada, right? Yeah, Vancouver. I remember because I was supposed to audition and you cut my role. I beat you out of kicking it at old school.
Starting point is 00:51:37 Yeah. Wasn't it Bobby who got it? Yeah. Yeah, I did get that. And when you got it, I wasn't. I'm not making this up. I actually wasn't mad that it was you. If it was, if they'd got like somebody else,
Starting point is 00:51:46 I'd been like, who the fuck is that go Bobby? No, Bobby, I get it. Well, like I was supposed to do barbershop three. Was it three? And I was like, I went in for the audition and the director loved me and he was like, oh my god, it's going to be so great. We're going to have such a good time.
Starting point is 00:51:59 You want to do breakfast tomorrow morning? We did breakfast. And then he goes, OK, great. And then he was texting me and then I was on tour. And then he was like, hey, the studio wants you to come in and read again. And I'm like, but I'm on tour and I can't. Can you put yourself on top of him?
Starting point is 00:52:12 Like, what do you want me to do different? Yeah. So I went in, I did it again, and then I didn't get it. They gave it to that kid that's on Jay Farrow's new show. I know, but here's that's what. And then I was like, what the fuck? You just want, you want with a younger Indian kid is all you do.
Starting point is 00:52:27 Oh, that guy. That's what I'm talking about. OK. What I'm saying is this is that that's the disconnect is what I'm talking about. Yeah. As a director. No, the director was a fan.
Starting point is 00:52:39 I understand that. He said he got bullied out by the network. This is what I would do. I'd go like this. You read for the director, right? Yeah. Like, OK, he can act. In my head, I'd be like, OK, Russell can act.
Starting point is 00:52:49 He's perfect for this job. You're on tour. I get a call from the studio and they go, yeah, we don't know much about this guy, Russell. We don't ever even heard of whatever they might say. Yeah, whatever they say. Which is probably what you said. Yeah, and I would probably go, yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:04 Well, here is his ticket numbers on the road. This is his presence on social media. I would do everything I can, every factual thing, and go, there's no one on planet Earth in terms of this style of comedy that's better than this guy. He's the top. And I refuse to do the movie without him. I don't think he was that invested in.
Starting point is 00:53:27 I know, but that's what I would say. I refuse to do the movie without him. And they're like, you're fired. He did call me. Oh, fuck Russell. He's called me a few times subsequently and like always like, man, you know, it's out of my hands. You know, you do that.
Starting point is 00:53:41 I think if it was him, he wouldn't have called me and said anything after, but you know what? You want to hear the best payback on this? Yeah. So then Favreau, John Favreau puts me in Jungle Book. And then Jungle Book opened the same day as Barbershop. And we kicked their ass in the face. We had a lot of money.
Starting point is 00:53:59 And I was like, yes. Somehow there was a victory. But also that director, you shouldn't pick up his phones. I would give him the cold shoulder. No, I don't want to be a bitch. No, play distant. That's what I'd say. It's been a few years now.
Starting point is 00:54:15 It doesn't matter. You play distant. And when you run into him, go, oh, yeah, I don't remember. He goes, yeah, you almost got the park. Yeah, I don't remember. Oh, did I? Oh, that's cool. Yeah, yeah, that's what I would do.
Starting point is 00:54:25 You know, I did something else though. Maybe you are despicable. Yeah. Oh. Can I say this? A little dream came true yesterday, just FYI. I like to show the voice. I love to show the voice.
Starting point is 00:54:42 And there's this kid named Noah that's on it. Noah Mack. Noah Mack. He's killing it. Whose team is he on? He's on team Jennifer Hudson. He was stolen, yeah. He was stolen by Jennifer.
Starting point is 00:54:52 From? From Blake. Blake. I'm friends with Adam. Oh, really? Yes. I love that show. He's such a great guy.
Starting point is 00:55:01 He is. He seems like a great guy. He's such a cool guy. He's funny, too, on that show. He's a very funny guy. He sends me the most ridiculous text periodically. Tell him I'm a fan. But anyway, so I followed all the voice people.
Starting point is 00:55:12 The coaches? No, the contestants. Just the contestants. I like their photos. I'll mention things. You're doing well. Does anyone respond? No response.
Starting point is 00:55:22 And no likes or nothing. It makes me angry. And you're supporting them. Yeah, I'm supporting them, right? I don't like when I follow people. I don't see their likes on my Bobby Lila. Yeah. And then Noah Mack yesterday, I go, you're my favorite, right?
Starting point is 00:55:37 And he goes, oh, my god. He goes, oh, my god. I'm a big fan of yours to me. And now he's my number one fan. Everyone vote for Noah Mack. Yeah. Oh, wow. That's the push.
Starting point is 00:55:49 Well, he's saying Phil Collins in the air tonight. Yeah, oh, he kills it tonight. Noah Mack push. Noah Mack push. Let's get him to win. Come with that Netflix show. Are you still doing that with the cop thing that you were doing?
Starting point is 00:56:00 The Indian detective? Yeah, yeah. It comes out next month on Netflix. What's it called? The Indian detective. It's on the Netflix? Indian detective? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:11 Watch Indian detective. December 19th, the debuts. And also on top. We're not supposed to announce it, but we're announcing it. Exclusive. Announcing it. And look, if we can find out that you and Yoshi have beef. We can find out.
Starting point is 00:56:24 Whether it's a short rib beef, whatever. In any case, you want to promote? I'll be in St. Louis. When is this coming out? 10 tomorrow night. OK, so St. Louis this weekend. St. Louis this weekend. Check it out.
Starting point is 00:56:36 Helium. Is it helium? At the Helium Comedy Club. Let me check. Let me just double check. It's helium. Have you played that one? No, I played all the other ones except for that one.
Starting point is 00:56:44 I think he took me off of that one because I wasn't selling tickets. Is that a newer club? Yeah, I guess. I don't even know. It wasn't doing that well, but I think it's now picking it up. The club or your dates? My dates are OK.
Starting point is 00:56:56 Oh, I mean, you said you pulled you off because? Yeah, that wasn't selling tickets. Isn't that weird? Like, that's also the thing we live in right now, where the clubs are more concerned about. Well, I understand from a business point of, you know, it was you got to sell rather than perform. They're more concerned with the sales and the performance.
Starting point is 00:57:13 They're not even that. And in the 80s, it was about the performance. They didn't care about it. Oh, there were some clubs that were like, I would rather have this person because he's the better comic. Yeah. I don't care if this person says.
Starting point is 00:57:21 Integrity's gone. It is gone. But you know what? It's the improv's fault for making these gigantic clubs, like 500 cedars. They have to fill them somehow so they get Gabriel and guys like you, and then the guys that are like Jake Johansson's of the world.
Starting point is 00:57:34 What funny you should say? Jake Johansson is a guy who I have admired since the 80s. He's one of the funniest. And I'm taking him on tour with me. Oh, my god. That's so cool. Taking him to Australia, New Zealand, and Asia. Jake Johansson is one of the best.
Starting point is 00:57:47 He's so fucking funny. He's such a superky and um. Kramer was based off of him. No. Oh. And then they were offered it to me. The story I heard is that he was like, nah, I'm going to stick with stand up.
Starting point is 00:58:01 Oh, picture. I'm going to ask him about it when we're on tour though. You should. Just to clarify. I don't want to be put in false information. I love that. So much exclusives. What do we have time?
Starting point is 00:58:12 We're on a 50. At the end of the thing, we do this. We do an email question. It's called Unhelpful Advice. So he's going to ask a question. Unhelpful Advice. It's called Unhelpful. You can do helpful if you want to protect us.
Starting point is 00:58:26 It's going to be unhelpful. Unhelpful advice with Bobby Kalala at Russell Peters. Dear Tiger. Dear Tiger Belly. I just turned 35. And I realized I don't want to be me anymore. I was recently licked go by my government job because I refused to let people play politics
Starting point is 00:58:43 with taxpayers' money. While this year, my ex-girlfriend handed me a defaulted repoed car loan. I signed for her when we were together and also ended up getting me charged and convicted of assault, sexual assault, and possession of a knife. All of these criminal acts took place in one drunken night after we broke up, where we got into arguments
Starting point is 00:59:00 before she called the police and sold me down the river at the police station with this insane hyperbole. FYI, I admitted to the charges only because they wanted to put her five-year-old daughter on stand if there was a trial. Hence, I moved out of town where this is all transpired and returned back home to my parents' house. Here I am, 35, jobless with depression,
Starting point is 00:59:19 a sexually-registered felon. So, yeah, my dreams are over. I literally have nothing to live for besides jujitsu classes and my parents' dog. Any advice? Big D. Well, I think we've already addressed this earlier in the show.
Starting point is 00:59:33 He now identifies as a Filipino man, so. Ha ha ha. Same guy. Same guy. Wow, this is so awesome. I mean, jujitsu is great. I think that's probably, like. But I don't know that that's the way to go
Starting point is 00:59:49 to learn how to 35 jobless with depression. It'll teach you at least the discipline of martial arts, and you know, it might put his. Yeah, but at the same time, you are, he may be focused the entire time that he's training on revenge. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha.
Starting point is 01:00:05 If his. Is this a real email? Yeah. Wow, big D. That sexual assault was really just one drunken night. Wait, was it sexual? He didn't say which was made up and which was real, though. Yeah, all these criminal acts, well, he's all, you know,
Starting point is 01:00:20 she says all to the police. It's hard because you don't really know the true story. But I will say that I have a very good friend who is a, like, upstanding citizen who has, who only can see his children with, like, a supervised visitation. Which is so weird. He has a great job.
Starting point is 01:00:36 Yeah, because one night, he got into a fight with his partner, and he said out loud, he's like, God, you make me want to put a bullet in my mouth. And just saying it like that, just out of rage. And they used that in court, and he now cannot see his own. So I know that that type of stuff does happen, and people do take it to that next level and use it against you.
Starting point is 01:00:54 But I don't know, besides that. We don't know his situation, but if it's innocent, and he was just one drunken night, you have no idea what it is. It's not your behavior. Let's assume he's innocent. Let's assume you're innocent, right? Is what I'm going to say is, is that you can
Starting point is 01:01:07 be reborn like a phoenix tomorrow. Hmm. You know? How? Well, it sounds like he did cop to it because he was trying to protect her five-year-old child from having to see or be dragged into this world of nonsense. So clearly, there is an empathetic side to this guy.
Starting point is 01:01:28 The guy that wrote Power of Now, what's his name? Eckhart Tolle. Eckhart Tolle. He was a guy. I don't know if you're living, a German guy living in Canada. Yeah. He lived on a mattress. Yeah, we do that.
Starting point is 01:01:40 In a basement, and he was suicidal, and I think he was also in his 30s, and he had no reason to live. And one day, he woke up. In a park bench. Yeah, no, that's before. He woke up one morning on that mattress, and he just had an awakening, you know, and he started living in the moment. He came up with this philosophy and his whole life changed, and he just,
Starting point is 01:02:03 and then all of a sudden, the selling author, this and that, touring all over the world, you know? My point is that there's so many people that, like, they just change their lives overnight, and it's all in the way you think. It's in your mind. Also, it sounds like you're just in an entirely shitty spot, so there's nowhere to go but up. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:22 You're already at your worst possible spot in your life, so at this point, it's your choice to just move upwards or stay there. What if he's horrible at Jiu Jitsu, and that's just backfiring on him? Fuck. I can't get past his white belt. Just one stripe. Are you into MN? Are you into UFC?
Starting point is 01:02:37 Do you watch, do you watch Last Saturday's fight? I do. I did, yeah. Which ones, these? No, not the Anthony Pettis. No, not the Pettis. I won't see Anthony Pettis fights, too, actually. Oh, you did?
Starting point is 01:02:46 But do you see before that? That one? The weekend before that, 2.17. The GSP. Was that amazing? It was a great card. That was one of the best cards I've seen in a long time. In a very long time.
Starting point is 01:02:54 But were you shocked? And I was flipping between that and the Deontay Wilder fight. Oh, the Wilder fight was on that night, too. Well, you're really into it, then. Did you, was the Yoana fight, was that shocking to you? I was very much because I thought that the Polish chick was going to just destroy Rose. And then when she got hit in that first 10 seconds, and I saw her reaction, I was like, that's not the reaction of a girl that wants it better than the other girl.
Starting point is 01:03:19 Because when Rose hit her nice, I was like, ooh. And then Joana still had been like, ah, ah, it was like, oh, damn, she got shocked. It was a bit of a Ronda reaction. But you know what's weird is that Yoana actually always gets hit in the first round. Valerie Leterno did that to her. Claudia Gadelia did that to her. She always gets, she always, she's lost the first round before. So I wasn't surprised.
Starting point is 01:03:42 No, no, no, but it wasn't so much, yeah, you're going to get hit, it's a fight score. But it's how you react to the punch. Yeah. Her face looked like, oh. You're right, you're right. It didn't have a look of okay. I think Rose hit her in a way that was harder or, you know what I mean, than the other fight. And she was like, it started her like, holy fuck.
Starting point is 01:04:02 This girl's strong. That hurt. You see Bisping is replacing Anderson Silva, when he gets gasoline there, that's so right after this past fight, like how did GSP got a 40 day suspension and how did Bisping not fight some Chinese? I don't like it when fighters take on fights. You have to. It's just a medical suspension.
Starting point is 01:04:24 That's like four. Medical suspension. The cuts and the. Right. But you know, Bisping didn't look good after the fight either. He was all beat up. He got tagged. A lot.
Starting point is 01:04:33 A lot. Are you happy about the GSP? Oh, as a Canadian, as a friend of GSP's, yes. You know him. You guys train? Well, no, never train together. I'm friends with his team more than him. Right.
Starting point is 01:04:44 But you've met him before. Yeah. You've met him before. Yeah. And then for us, the little brother, that didn't go so well on the undercard. Oh, I saw that. Come on. I was like, oh.
Starting point is 01:04:54 Yeah. And then I was like, is this a sign of what's going to happen in the main event? Oh, that's I didn't know you were a big fucking MMA guy. Yeah. We are two. We watch all of them. We have an MMA minute on this podcast. We have an MMA minute on this thing.
Starting point is 01:05:07 We just did it. We just did it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So you think that you think that he should. You know, Chuck Liddell lives on my street. What the fuck?
Starting point is 01:05:15 Yeah. Who is that? I love him. I love him. Yeah. And while I was training today, he texted me. But you know, if GSP fought Robert Whitaker, he would lose. He would.
Starting point is 01:05:27 Yeah. Destroyed. Yeah. That's why he's saying he's not going to fight at 185. Do you think that he can cut back to 170, be real, looking at how he had, he's put on a lot of muscle. Yeah. He got that belly.
Starting point is 01:05:40 He's always got that weird belly. And even when he was a welter, he would walk around pretty heavy. Yeah. I mean, after. I think for him, they would probably create a division between 170 and 185. You know what I mean? They'll be like, 177. GSP division.
Starting point is 01:05:52 I think it is pretty silly, though, how it goes from like, when you go from flyweight and it's 10 pounds over, and then once you get to lightweight to welter, it's like 15. And then 15. That's a lot. There should be some catchweight between. Well, how far? Well, that's what happened in boxing. That's how you end up with super middleweight.
Starting point is 01:06:08 Every two pounds. That's too much. That's too much. How is 15 pounds hard? Is that hard? It's fucking hard. Yeah. Because there are guys like, for instance, Brandon Vera is a perfect example of a guy who couldn't
Starting point is 01:06:17 fight heavyweight because these guys were 265, like Mark Hunt, and then at 204, he was just, you know, too big. So he would always, he was just not a perfect, there was no place for him to exist successfully or fight successfully. Even though he was, you know. There's heavyweights that should be heavyweights, and then there's guys that just can't make light heavyweight. Right.
Starting point is 01:06:40 Yeah. In between. But do you think that Robert Whitaker and GSP, that would be a great fight, though? It'd be a great fight if GSP has another fight before he fights Robert Whitaker. Who? Who do you think? Would you like to see him fight you well, Romero? Would you want to fight him middleweight?
Starting point is 01:06:52 Yeah. He'll kill you well, Romero. You think so? I think you're also scary. He just got stopped. He did. Robert Whitaker did. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:00 Yeah. And he didn't look that impressive. What about Shockeray's? He could be, I think GSP will walk through Shockeray. Oh. Yeah. I think so. I think so.
Starting point is 01:07:09 Shockeray's been looking, there's been some, pardon the expression, guys, chinks in his armor. There's been, you know. Because Whitaker fights like, like a lightweight guy, he fights like, he did a shot. Whitaker does. Angles. He's a lot of movement. He's different than those other two.
Starting point is 01:07:26 Traditional Muay Thai. Yeah. What about TJ versus Demetrius? That'd be great. I was talking about it. I find that really unfair for DJ, for some reason. Yeah. But if TJ's got a cut.
Starting point is 01:07:36 Yeah. TJ's got to come down. Yeah, I know. But like. TJ versus DJ. But it would just be treated like a super fight and not for a title, like what are we doing with this? He would go down to 125 and 90.
Starting point is 01:07:45 If he goes down. If he goes down. He said, I'm coming for your title. I'm coming for you. I think DJ is the best pound for pound. I think if TJ has to drop the weight, he would. That fucking arm bar in his life. The flying arm bar.
Starting point is 01:07:57 Amazing. Suplex arm bar. That was ridiculous. That was ridiculous. I do helicopter arm bars in the gym. When we're training, we've done them a few times and I'm like, wow, I feel so cool doing it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:08 But it's like, it's so risky. Mm. Like to try it in, you know, it's good when you're training and you're rolling and, you know, I get you in a little helicopter arm bar, but that flying arm bar was awesome. In competition. Oh, she thinks I should take classes. Mm-hmm. I should train very real.
Starting point is 01:08:22 You were a wrestler. We should do it together. You were a wrestler. Where do you train? In Tarzana. Machado. Machado. Machado.
Starting point is 01:08:30 Yeah. Yeah. But would they make fun of me when I walk in there? No. Look at my body. Look at mine. Look at my body. I know, but I, why you making fun of me, man?
Starting point is 01:08:38 Your body's fine. Have you seen, have you seen people in the gym? They're huge people there. Or you can do, you can go with Eddie at Nogi. Yeah. Yeah. Fuck her. So Jack is going to go and train, do a seminar at 10th Planet in a couple of weeks.
Starting point is 01:08:53 Really? And ask me if I'd go with him. Mm-hmm. And I was like, I would get killed at 10th Planet. Yeah. I would learn. I like G because it's slow. I would learn.
Starting point is 01:09:01 There's, there is something really cool about learning with a G even like the Chokes where you hold the bells and everything. All the Chokes and my fingers are getting nice and sore on time. Yeah. When the graces just do it make me sweat. I didn't like it. Yeah. I'm too slippery.
Starting point is 01:09:13 You're a wrestler? Yeah. In high school, yeah, yeah. And his brother was like. That's the best base ever. Yeah. I can do it. It's just I'm lazy, but I want to learn because I'm really into that.
Starting point is 01:09:21 Yeah. But if you got the wrestling base, everybody, every jujitsu guy here. How am I going to use it? I guess Yoshi? Well, yes. Well, you might have to. Triangle choke. Oh man.
Starting point is 01:09:32 I think it's now is the perfect time to get into martial arts. I'm going to do it. We have to. Don't do Taekwondo. I mean it. Why? You're Korean? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:44 But don't, yeah, don't do it. Oh my God. What am I going to do about this Yoshi thing? Yeah. We'll fix it. We got to fix it. We got to fix it. Because the shit that he was saying about me stealing all that fucking.
Starting point is 01:09:54 I mean, I'm so angry. I think that's out of anger. That's not out of. I know. But then my parents. It's like. It worked. He was good.
Starting point is 01:10:03 He was effective and striking. Yeah. He really got me. Yeah. He dropped your guard. Yeah. Do you have fun here or no? Had a great time.
Starting point is 01:10:11 Had a great time and I really hope it didn't cost me one of my best friends. I don't think it did. I think it's all in fun. I'm glad it happened because I think that it's the beginning of recovery. I want the healing. I do. I want the healing. As a 15 year, you know, clean guy.
Starting point is 01:10:22 Yeah. Yeah. I know it's a part of my journey and I don't want, I don't want this kind of resentment out there. You know, so. Can I ask you, I heard a story once. Go ahead. Somewhere that you took a puff of a vape one day.
Starting point is 01:10:39 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What's his name? More. Robert Morton. You know what that is? He was like an old, he produced Letterman for like 30 years back when he was back in the day. And Robert Morton was show running me and Joe Coy's show.
Starting point is 01:11:04 We had a show we're pitching. And Robert Morton, we're at a restaurant and he goes, can you sell me vaping cigarette like tobacco? Right? Because I got this new vape. Right. And I go, oh, cool. He's like, take the good, it's a good flavor or something.
Starting point is 01:11:18 So he went to the bathroom and I took a puff of it and as soon as I exhaled him, I went, what the fuck? I could feel it. Not, you know, I could feel I was about to get high, you know, and he came back and I was freaking freaking the fuck out because this marijuana, he goes, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I go, I threw it at him and I just ran out of the restaurant and I called my sponsor. Yeah. And he said, it's all right.
Starting point is 01:11:45 It wasn't a slip. You know, it was an accident. Yeah. But it was, you know, I would have told you the same thing. Are you sober? Oh, no. I know. Oh, no, thank you.
Starting point is 01:11:53 I never had a problem. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I drink. You don't smoke pot or anything? No, no, I just drink. And even that, I was talking to him about it today. We were driving to go, I don't think I'm going to drink for a little while because I'm not even getting a buzz anymore.
Starting point is 01:12:04 Well, you don't have to do more. Well, I know, but I'm drinking straight alcohol. I'm not getting a buzz. And what is the point of this? Because it doesn't taste fucking good. I want to bless you with something. I want to, I hope that one day you have kids. I do.
Starting point is 01:12:17 You have? They're already here to ask. I have a, I have a daughter. How many kids? One. That's her right there. That's my daughter. Oh, I didn't know that.
Starting point is 01:12:25 Well, then my blessings came true. Yeah. You're really good. You know what I mean? I didn't have her until you said it. Give Russell Peters a round of applause. You're great, man. Thanks for doing it.
Starting point is 01:12:36 Thanks for letting me. You can check out all of Russell's show info at RussellPeters.com and we'll be right back. And we are back, guys. Hmm. What a fun podcast. He's such a nice guy. That should give me anxiety. That was so funny though.
Starting point is 01:12:53 It was funny. Russell Peters reaction was ridiculous. He's like, I do not know my friend as well as I thought. That's pretty noble of Yoshi to feel that strongly about Bobby, but not communicate that to people around him. Although he did communicate it on his podcast. So maybe that's his platform. Hmm. But to other comics is what I'm saying.
Starting point is 01:13:15 But to not, yeah, to not try to like muddy the waters with other comics, like not, or not try to besmirch somebody's name to other people. Actually, I take that back. He's fucking tried to, I think, on his own podcast. Yeah. Anything from you, George, for this week? Nope. I'm good.
Starting point is 01:13:32 Just remember to go to meandys.com slash belly or Brooklyn and promo code belly. If you want to get some holiday gifts for your friends and family and support the show. Yeah, that too. Also, I'd like to thank everybody that came out to Bobby shows in San Diego this past weekend. They were fun. I met a lot of you guys. And a shout out to the Tiger Belly fan. We met at Phil's barbecue.
Starting point is 01:14:00 She was really sweet and I felt bad because Gobi barked at her. Gobi barks to everyone though. No, but like it was, it was a bark that was just it got me off guard. Gobi is not really aggressive. She just barks, but I felt bad. I swear my dog sweet. And I hope you don't think poorly of us as parents. So shout out to you.
Starting point is 01:14:20 Yeah. Any reverse shout outs? Do I have any reverse shout out? You had that evil smile. Why? I did happen. I do have a reverse shout out, but that person's like not worth my time or or any airtime at all. The guy at that Chipotle register.

Starting point is 01:15:34 Also, what's the question you asked me before we turned on the mic? The one that you had for George. Stop pimping your friend, dude. Never mind. Wait, hold on. I remembered my reverse shout out. You want to say it? I do.
Starting point is 01:15:48 Okay. It's just because it made me so fucking furious. Ever shout out to that fucking dumbass bitch. I think her name's Becca, who like tagged me to comment on your picture about it because she seems to think that you're trying to sleep with me behind Bobby's back. Oh, I saw that post, but it was mine was not from your mind was like someone said, she said, I don't know if it's a girl. She was like, I don't think it's a girl.
Starting point is 01:16:16 What are you doing? It's not a girl, it's a troll like who put who was pretending to be. But anyways, it's basically, it was like the meanest thing ever. As she said to me on a picture, it was on one of my posts with Vincent Rodriguez from a crazy ex girlfriend. Check it out that Gilbert, can you please quit the podcast? You're so fucking annoying. I know you're just trying to sleep with Calila.
Starting point is 01:16:38 And she, he, he, we're going to call it a he, because I know girls don't talk like that. They don't talk like that. That's a guy for sure. That's a guy. He's very disgruntled. Yeah. Loser male. It was J nails.

Starting point is 01:16:59 Do you remember their name for a quick shout out for, for quick shout out? We've been getting a lot of packages from people, which is cool. Another box. Are we sure we want to show the t-shirts? Well, I just want to shout out whoever made it. It looks like someone wants the hashtag to come back. I was, he went to a lot of work and I just give him some appreciation. You know what, I didn't say the, I said the name.
Starting point is 01:17:18 George, I don't understand why you have to scream every time. Because I was not being listened to. No, you're heard. Don't act like you're not, you know, that you're not heard. We don't listen. Everything you say. But look, listen, I tried to let the George and Jessica thing die. I just said the person.
Starting point is 01:17:34 There's a part of you that's keeping it alive. Can we shout out the person? No, we're talking about the person. If somebody puts a lot of work into something, I want them to appreciate them. We're talking about the person. Jeez. This person is keeping it alive and he's one of the few left the army. And here's the, for podcast listeners, I'm sorry, but here's a sneak peek.
Starting point is 01:17:51 I showed Jessica. She was, do I really look like that? I know. So no shout out to your name. So I'm sorry. That's all I wanted was to say. Who sent it? No, shout out to the person.
Starting point is 01:18:03 That's what I, that's what I said. There should be a note in there. So that's what I was wanting. You're right. That's all, we were, we were jumping down George's throat for no reason. It was a joke, George. I wasn't, I really wanted to shout. This is from.
Starting point is 01:18:13 Do you feel unheard? When I yell, yes. That's, that's my reaction. Oh, I always think that's like, I always think that's like your, your go-to bit. Like it's a part of your thing. Yeah. Sorry if you. Sorry.
Starting point is 01:18:25 I must feel unheard a little bit. I know, but I want you to make it feel that way. Yeah, I don't want you to feel that way. I do listen. I know a lot about you, you know, and I retain the information. No, like all the stories you ever tell me, like when we just talk about your life and your upbringing, there's not a piece of information that I forget. You're very good about that.
Starting point is 01:18:40 Remember everyone. Stevie was just on JK news. Jojo was a Seventh-day Adventist, grew up Seventh-day Adventist. Dude, shout out to Jojo and JK news. I did not know. Yeah. A lot of Seventh-day. I can't wait to talk to him more about that.

Starting point is 01:19:42 And Jessica, most importantly. Let it die, Gilbert. Let it die. Are we going to let it die? Because it's shirts. I don't think you ever wanted to die. I feel like there's a part of you that misses it. Like, you look at your comment section and you're like,
