I do talk about you a lot Yes, thank you. Yeah. Yeah. Have I said good things? Some no That's just some bad things. No. Yeah, those things get back to me, but I Yeah, I know you though. So I don't I know how you are. So I don't oh, how am I? Well, even when you said like we've had our battles. Yeah, okay, I Think I come at things from like

Like a pragmatic kind of like, you know, I don't get my emotions involved I think when we talk there have been times where emotionally I'm confused by the decisions you've made But I just say I've never like when we've argued I've never left a conversation saying you just burned a major bridge I don't do shit like that and I've said that you said that You said that to me as you walk to like a Corolla and And sped out at 30 miles per hour of the comic. Okay. Yeah, my car has nothing to do with this fucking kind of business I burn a major bridge. I know Hollywood power player Bobby Lee

Toyota Corolla. Yeah, it speeds away. Yes. What was it before Corolla? You're right. Oh, thank you. Thank you Deep cut. I'll tell you what a What a great friend this is. Yeah, he knows I love Oasis This is one of the things that irritates me, but I again, I like I don't I don't get I don't say you burn a major bridge I just go that's Bobby His car your car broke down or something. Yeah, I did your car broke down the same Corolla. Yes. Yes Thank you. Probably that night as he was leaving. Yeah And then I had a Hyundai Santa Fe at the time and I was doing

Was it purple? No, it's silver. Oh, yeah, so reason why I thought it was purple. I'm not from Minnesota So I lent to I said, hey, you take my car. I'm going on the road. Use my car while I'm gone Who does that? So I first of all, let's think about what who does it a comic a friend of whatever a friend What a whatever a friend whatever a friend when you burn the bridge you burn it It takes time to rebuild it takes time to rebuild right so so I lend him my car my car he took I get back in my car and I go to play my Oasis. I go, where's my Oasis? DVDs not one not to like three Oasis DVDs. I I call I go CDs. I go Bob Where's my I threw them out the window? Oh my

Why we because I told you because you don't listen Well, I like you my car. No, I know you know are down and I like you know my car This is who I deal with. I don't know. I'm the bad guy, but that's the thing. I got another one You guys ready for another one It's right and then we'll move on to other things. Okay, but you don't fucking listen, right? I don't do that I don't like the band Why is it tampered all over the fucking thing like like it's a flyer for some sort of fucking nightclub or something You don't like Oasis. We watch it. I like it now. I love them now, but at the time

I didn't like them. I thought they were like too poppy. Oh my I like them now I apologize. How much money do I you 60 bucks? Nothing now. Okay worth us. Yeah. All right, so what's the second thing I did? Uh, oh, you want what I'm sure you now. I have so many things that you've done. Okay. Good. Good. What you will go tit for tat Good. Oh, you'll get it for dad. Yeah. All right. All right. Let's go for that then this guy calls me Right, and he goes get it over because I was on a sitcom called animal practice Uh-huh. It got cancelled and I was really hurt by it. Sure. It was a really tough time because um, I didn't have Kala at the time and That was and I called you the night it premiered. I bet you don't remember that. I know. Thank you. I watched it

I said congratulations. Thank you. He doesn't make he forgets these things. Yeah This next part counts, right, so I watched it So then he calls me goes. Sorry about animal practice, but you know, I have a show Like a yeah, Sullivan and sons, right? Because I was thinking about you know, um You know writing a character with you in it like so reoccurring and it's gonna be really cool and you know I'm at the time Ahmed was on it the wonderful and the multi-faceted Owen Benjamin You know, I mean just the pure talent that he is of course and I go. Yeah Yeah, you're gonna write in you know, you know when somebody calls you for something like that

You start you lay down in bed and you start fantasizing What it's gonna be like at the Warner Brothers lot, you know what it's like rehearsing laughing with your friends You're actually working you're on TV with your you know, there's nothing better, right? And then three months later. I find out Ken Jung is doing it Did that did that did that happen your old your old pal, right? Yeah, so my thing is is this okay? I know why that happened. No, you think you know why it happened and you bring this up I like you're wrong. Oh, you're tired right now. I your eyes. You're getting ready for that's my eyes are Very eyes are a full right now. Let me just ragefully tired

I know, okay, so it doesn't make any sense. Okay, but we're in a different planet right now. Okay, and oh, we are yeah And we're not gonna get to a point you and I we're gonna scream each other because I love you and I love what? No, I love you. I love what we're doing right now. It's fun and we're mending things and that's great Okay, okay, so on the reason why I think the reason why and I think this is the reason why is because you're the guy that Was producing it doesn't like me. That is not true. He likes me. Let me ask you something. Yes, there's Vince Vaughn like me. Yes I'm looking you in the eyes. Oh, wow. Yeah, I think In my head I correct me correct me a firmware. Oh, here we go. I don't know his story, so I don't know With Bobby

Bobby has an ability to go down the rabbit hole. I think sometimes of insecurity and make things a bigger deal than they actually are Correct. Thank you. Yeah, so I think that there are times where you get things in your head and you start making them Via osmosis insecurity, which you you know, you told me at times that you you know, I think we all do anybody in this business does Right, but I think I'm glad you said that. I think there's a I'm glad you said that I don't know if these two words Should ever make sense together otherwise, but I think it makes sense for Bobby where there is an insecure narcissism By that I mean I was gonna say ragefully tired, but I know like it doesn't make sense together, but I think with you it does where you take

Situation like that. Yeah, and you morph it into your head. There's a self-importance there and thinking someone hates you that much. Yes. Oh That they've actually Actually sat and pondered about their hatred for you when in reality they probably don't at all at all and You make all right. I okay. I'm gonna say this I'll say okay. No, I'll say this cuz I let me ask my all right. Let me ask you a little titty I'm gonna give you a little tatty I'm gonna give you that I'm gonna give you dolly part and teddy right now. Okay, please So are you kidding about a sandwich? Yeah, are you saying to me then? Yeah, that he's never had hard feelings toward me

I can honestly tell you that is correct. He's never had hard feelings towards you. Wow Wow, so When we used to because I used to hang out with the guy, right? Right and then all of a sudden he if I say hi Don't meet wasn't saying hi back. What is that? Okay? See here's what I know. Okay? You're asking me what I know from my own personal rights and from your own personal experience from the time I've met him which has been many years. Yeah, I'm time. I've known you which has been many Yeah, yeah from a time on Hollywood has been many years. Yeah, I've never seen him exhibit anything towards you or Personally to me that has been of negative nature. Oh, I see it, but I just can't do

Stuff that he's producing. I Wouldn't say that no that movie that you did you know me at the comedy with you Jimmy O Yang with that movie, right? You said I could be in it Right, and I wasn't in it. Why? When I wrote this, okay, look at his eyes racially tied up Because his eyes turn white When he lies your eyes turn white the wider one you lie

My eyes turn you're half white lie. Yeah, so it Punches in it's cool. Go ahead This the entertainment value of this show has gotten flatter So tell me flatter so tell me so when this all starts coming to fruition, right? I did have a discussion with you, right about hey, you know, I have this thing going on There's gonna be some roles that are gonna be enveloping and I'd love to talk to you down the line and Include you I did say that. Yeah, right. Okay. So the minute this thing goes to To the hill, right and it's like, okay, we're in pre-production. We got to get going

all the sudden Things start spiraling. It's done by committee and it's not just me So if I was just solely in charge of doing things, right? I Think the casting would have been different on many different fronts. For example, Billy Gardell You know Billy love them Mike and Molly, right? Yeah, okay so I had a conversation with Billy about about potentially playing the headliner in this film and When this is all going okay, there's Producers there's investors and the investors have

Their input to put as well. I'm trying to be diplomatic because I'm still obviously in the throes of of completing this so There is a process of which we got to decide these things by committee and if I look one of the most difficult Conversations I've ever had my life was to call Billy Gardell and say hey, I'm sorry, but it's just not gonna work out and I had I named the character Billy G. It's named who took it who took the part Cedric the entertainer, but it's not who took it It's also when you're casting I know what works man. So I know how it fucking works I know because you're always by your typewriter creating so no, but I know but I have been on You know shows right and I and they and they go who's great for this part and we throw out our names

Right that we like right and there's a gigantic process where everyone has their say so I understand how it there are in that way Exactly. There are people that say why I think XYZ is great. I think ABC is great right then. It's also Representatives getting involved. Yeah, I know they're just stop for a second though It wasn't even for a specific part you were calling me about this come for a day and we'll fit you in and improvise even that Was on this, you know, it wasn't as if you know, I was gonna do a lead role in the first place I get what you're saying and I I want to believe you and I do want to believe you Yeah, and I'm probably 70% there. Okay, right. That means everything to me. Okay, so I've been waiting. Yeah, I'm 70% there. I'll never know the truth. Yeah, right and I'll never know

And I may never know that 30% and that's what's gonna cripple me That's that's what I take to the grid. That's true What was it like to get that 30% because then Bobby would answer my text messages Now let me say this though. No, I'm ready. Go for me. Are you ready? You're okay. I'm not angry towards you though I don't have resent. Okay, so This is who I'm in business with. Okay. It's who I'm in business with so Kim's a comedy, right? We do the DVD. Oh gee. Oh, here we go. Here we go. Taddy Taddy Taddy Taddy. Now it's Taddy's turn. Uh-huh. So We do the DVD we lock up our first

live show in San Francisco. We're gonna go to the punchline You're the big cheese. You're on mad TV. Everybody knows who you are I had just done a half hour. Ken is still Dr. Ken Kevin Shea is at only two bottles of whiskey a day. So we Great joke write that down. Great joke. Wow. I love it. So we we booked this thing. Okay, and Bobby is what makes Bobby great to me is the fact that Bobby Goes through life to the beat of his own drum And that is something I've always respected and loved about him

But at times when you are doing a show with somebody, it's not the most conducive when you're doing something by committee, right? But at the same time, you're the headliner between all of us for sure. You're the biggest name so I Think the first show is on a Thursday. I Talked to Ken on Wednesday. Yeah, Ken's like you all said I'm like I'm all set and Ken's like Why don't you make sure Bobby's ready and I go? Okay, so I I don't I've never toured with Bobby before So I call Bobby up Wednesday night. I go. Hey, are you ready? And you go ready for what? I

Go for our shows this weekend where? San Francisco. Oh, how am I gonna get there? The fuck you mean how you're gonna get there You should have booked the fucking so what I do. Oh, I had my plane tickets booked and everything I said fuck it. I'll be at your house tomorrow at 9 a.m. And we're gonna drive to San Francisco together. Wow, so I picked you up and drove you to San Francisco to make sure that you Were at the show, okay? Not only that not only do I do that three hours look at me

Now I'm listening three hours. Do you remember this part at what part this part three hours in yeah, all right Yeah, I'm driving probably listening to oasis before I lent you my car. You threw out my CDs. Yeah, and then I just hear Okay I look over and Bobby's looking at me jerking off. I go. What are you doing? He goes no one will know I Go, I know I know and I apologize and I apologize. I apologize. That's um Unforgivable behavior using it. No, I was completely sober You were sober and you did that. I don't know. I don't remember what you're why do Whatever or not, whatever we were going to the punchline that very first time

Because I know what happened when we went home Freddie Soto died. Oh, okay. Okay, so we can pinpoint because I remember you driving me back from San Francisco back to LA Which I could have flown but I I know you could have and I'm telling you to pull over. Yeah, right Mm-hmm, cuz I got a call that Freddie had died That's right. I went to the side of the road and I was devastated I remember that and I remember driving off to so yeah, and I did that to Steve Trevino as well So I apologize to him and I did not I'm kind of insulted now I'm really insulted because I did it to him because Steve Trevino and I are not like in the same like looks wise

I know so now I'm kind of like I like Anything chip chip monk Mexicans Oh shit, he looks like a chipmunk. Does he not? Yeah. All right. So here's the deal. Okay. I apologize for masturbating in the car That's wrong And he do you did another thing for me That was helpful with people don't know about this, but when Ken had his Meltdown mm-hmm at cobs where he physically assaulted me. No, he never physically so this is what happened

So I'm sure you did you tell yourself this did you do this? Well, first of all, what did you not get in between us? This is what happened. Okay. Okay, so I think that what happened is that when the Kim's Fractured we I think we had like an opportunity to really kind of do some stuff Along where you guys on the road for it together over the course of like maybe a year Yeah, but only that it's like listen, it was a concept that now would work I think that if we would never do it, but I'm just saying that if you I Steve Burr not Steve, but you're Steve Burr Ken Jung That's it us three

People that have been on television Right well to do it. Okay, we would draw and it would be great, right? Okay back then We did just didn't Ken wasn't the Ken Jung that we know sure of today You've done so much stuff since then. Yeah, I think that you know, you would be great now. Yeah, you know, it'll never happen Yeah, well, I think if you do it without me with Ken with Ken I wouldn't I'm just saying if you do if I see a fucking billboard No, I wouldn't you the only way I do it is if with right we were to get fucking weeded out of it You want another war friend? We'll have another

We'll have another fuck of war well the the Kim's kind of like Imploded pretty quickly because at the time you were working. You're still with Abby, correct? Yes, okay, so we did a new year easy easy with her. No, no I I get it. No, she's not supportive of you. Yes, and she's a great representative Which is what you want. Okay, you want somebody that's in your corner. Yeah, thank you looks out for solely for you We did a show together Yeah, for New Year's I forget where that was we did a New Year's show and I Think you got paid something like 10 grand and

Then me Ken and Bobby me Ken and Kevin each got I think over the course of the week and we each got like 300 bucks We're like what the fuck we thought there was gonna be some disparity of like of like wealth But we know Bobby's the headliner, but we thought that was so this do you think you think that this provides thank you Thank you. I can tell you done this before So this provides the beginning of like where I think Ken and myself Felt like it's a little, you know, we're a little bummed by this, right? So then we did the the will the Wilton together and it was something along the same lines where you were getting a lion's share and granted Given Bobby's cash-in resume. He deserves a lion's share, but I think the disparity and pay was so much that it was like

It was kind of like insulting. So I think that's where Ken took it You know to be to you know as Ken started like ascending to heights like he stood at that time, right? He was on the he had already done Like the office and curb curb and all that kind of stuff But he's starting to do stuff. He was he was in that a couple of Wilson with Will Ferrell movies Yeah, he was coming up. Yeah. Yeah, he was coming up. Yeah. Yeah So he was he was like deserving as something but I think that then you know Ken is a very prideful guy and He I think that you two had some

perhaps like I Don't know if it's like a rivalry, but I think that there was like a I don't know I don't know what I'd classified as but basically it came to a point where it was just like I think Ken was like Respectively saying I don't know that I necessarily want to continue with the Kims And I think we all kind of felt that way at a certain point, you know where it was just like all right Well, we ran a course and it was always doing well in San Francisco, but maybe not anywhere else, right? Why was fun? Hawaii was we did a Hawaii. I'll tell you why it was great and so

then We go to San Francisco and we put together the show me Ken and Kevin and you weren't on the bill They didn't want me on it. Well, yeah, the group. Let's be honest. Please. Give me something Something right I got kicked out of the group. I think three of us collectively. Can I be honest with you? Want me to be completely honest? That's what I want. This is about a podcast We collectively agreed that we were like Given the way we were treated the last few shows, especially in terms of pay. We felt well fuck it

Let's just do it on our own. That's what we thought because kicked out of the group so but what I did is because as We booked it and as we're getting closer to the date I Just felt guilty and I was like if we're doing this we should have Bobby along and I Staged a coup you didn't I stage a coup on my own because I love Ken and I love Bobby and I know that Ken loves Bobby and I know that Bobby loves Ken and I think we all collectively Internally whether we admit it or not Depending on the precipice of how you feel at the time

Everybody feels that way. So I was going to the guys of I'm gonna fly Bobby up there I bought you a ticket got your room and I flew you up there so that we could make peace and Proceed forward from that I think Ken had a lot going on Personally at the time that's right. That's true. I think that is true. We all know yeah, and I think What happened was you showed up and I think you stoked some Emotions that weren't resolved and I know what you know how I'll tell you what the light was okay the fuse was there, right? But me lighting it. Oh you you lit it. Oh, I lit the

I know and exactly tell you it was about my space. So what happened was I'll tell you why I love this It's because you know how my space you you remember how my space you could have your top friends, okay, right? So oh So for a year or two years me Steve Byrne We're all in his top thing and he was still on my top 10 or 15 or whatever it was, right? But then all of a sudden his top was Judd Apatow will fair all his new fancy friends So I just wanted to break his balls and go hey, dude. What's up? And I said it I came up from behind him

I remember yeah, he was sitting in with his guitar in the green room upstairs, right? Yeah, and I came aggressive and which I shouldn't have done it. Yeah, but I went what's up, dude I'm off of your top friends because you have new Hollywood friend came out hot I came out hot like really and he was a complete opposite of why I got the ticket right exactly I fucked it up, right? Yeah, and then it's something happened where it he got in my face And it was hostile though Do you remember what he said you came out hot and he wasn't prepared to have that conversation? He didn't know so I didn't know I was gonna be there. I don't blame him for

Reacting my fault again. Well, I think that had you come out instead of like the fucking top eight shit And just come out and go hey, can we all have a conversation? Oh, yeah? Yeah? Yeah? I said I don't get it wrong. Hey what the fuck I read it wrong again Fucking Julia whites you're fucking six and I'm not even in yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, so then you guys were screaming at each other There's a line of people outside and it looked like you guys were gonna start fighting and Kevin Shea goes Dude, you should go break this up and I looked at him and I said this might be the cutest fight I've ever seen in my life

If Ken Jeong and Bobby Lee started wrestling, but I broke it up and then uh and then I think you guys Resolved your issues down the line years later, but I know in talking to Ken and I don't like to voice anything I know you don't I don't like to talk publicly about conversations I've had with my friends personally, but I do know this for a fact. I do know that hit that you Absolutely, he's expressed this to me many times that you have Helped him out early on in his career putting him in all those sketches on mad all those years ago And I know that he does love and care about you as do I I mean I you know no matter what our ups and downs are I still have a deep affinity and affection for you because when I first moved LA you were literally I think the first comic

I hung out with at Dublin's and Met you and every time I was there you were always so accommodating and helpful and so kind of me And we'd go out for late-night bites and everything So what's your next story you want to show to me about? No, because um, you know now when you're talking it brings me back to um You know experiences and moments. I've had you know with you know guys like you've been around for very long You've made my friend for very so long and we've been in business together And we had our ups and downs, but you know at the end of the day

You even though there are if I look back in the past Even the things that you've said today, you know, I mean I I agree with it. Yeah for the most part. There's some things I could argue, right? But I'm not gonna but because I cuz that's coming from your point of view and also I have no hard feelings I really at the end of the day don't have any hard I don't have any hard I love you so much right and I do too and in every like incidents where you've had battles with like Dan cook and stuff like that. I've been on your side

But I've never had battle like a battle with dain like dain picked that issue with me I know I never I know he did which I did our podcast we talked about. We never talked about it. We never talked about it Right. No, he was here. I defended you I just say whatever comes of mine and I go with it. Yeah, that is true. I have to say to that um That you know, I love your wife Okay, I do I think she is there her butt here. Yeah, but no, there's no bug. Okay. Okay. I was wondering where this is going There is no negativity. Okay. All right. I really like the life you've carved out carved out for yourself You know, thank you. I know your parents. Yes. I know your brother. You know, your wife is great

Your kids are fucking adorable. I've never met them. I Get it I Get it. I've never met Ken's kids. It's fine. Yeah, a lot of comics kids I've never met because they I feel like they think that I'm gonna like when Ike Barron holds Had a family and this and that it just we just stopped You know, I mean because he thinks that I'm gonna pull my dick out. No, no, no I don't think that's it. I don't think that and I would never think that I I don't know Ike But I guarantee doesn't think that I think like I've never met Ken's kids

Oh talk to it about each other's kids and stuff but I think when you have kids, it's like I Think the last thing you want to do is Like do one more thing with your kids because you're so exhausted and drained like today I I spent a little bit of time with that. I haven't seen them and in within two hours I'm like absolutely zapped absolutely crippled. You just want to like have dinner get them to bed and then like have your life back Wow, so I think sometimes it's like you don't want to bring that burden of Energy and no stop touch. Don't do that. Stop hitting it. You don't want to bring that around. Oh, I think that's what it is

Yeah, it's not that you're gonna pull your dick out Which right you did because to me when you were jerked out. Yeah, but we're comics and adults and friends And that's what I would do in front of any friend. Yeah, actually amazing with kids. I love kids Yeah, and number two al magical And his wife made me dinner with his kids. They did the I did the little what are they do? With no, they just a regular handkerchief thing. Yeah, right. I did that whole thing I put my utensils on the side, you know, cuz I went to etiquette school years ago Did you really I did my mom my parents took through me through etiquette school. What happened?

I was in a ballroom. I did a ballroom dance thing all the dinner No, though, in fact, there is an old article They took a gigantic photo of me in the newspaper San Diego Union of me ballroom dancing with a white one girl, you know, I mean and so I learned all that So when al magical invited me because no one's ever introduced me to children. Yeah when he did it was it really meant a lot Yeah, because he's like, you know, I was like, I love kids Mm-hmm, and um, you know, so you know, maybe you and you guys can make me a dinner I don't know. Sure. I would do that with your kids. Yeah, and I won't swear

I'll be all Christian about it on our patreon episode yesterday. He asked my ten-year-old niece if She would kill anyone and for what reason now. I was like, well, I don't know if that's all right. Fuck it Invitations I'll send you some Uber. You know, but then they'll learn they're gonna learn one day about murder Everyone does right? No It's a little Polly I was influenced by Polly, yeah But listen, yes

You know, I couldn't you know, and it's so I'm so glad that you're here and I don't know why we haven't done this soon I'll be honest. Yeah, I don't know why we didn't do this sooner because I feel like You and I Could do this for hours sparks will fly. I see the bags under your eyes, right? They formed while we were They did it wasn't here before they weren't here. No, his bags are strong Because of him, you know me all the excess baggage just feeling, you know, emotional about you know, I mean some of the things Yeah, right, but at the end of the day, I tell you another thing you did for me

Yeah, when I went to New York You called Estee from the comedy cellar. Yep, and you said see Bobby Lee You set up a showcase for me and she saw me on a Friday. I did good Yeah, she passed me but like I can I would only go to someone like you for those kind of favors because I know that you'll actually pull through for me and At the end of the day You could be in my top Five of all time in comedy people. Can you go to your my space? Yes, my space page. Yeah, top of the top. Yeah

So, um, that you know, that's I do do want to throw that out But next time you have a job and you think you want I should be in it. Yes, get me the job first and then tell me Yes, I agree with that. I think that yeah, look and I agree with that. I think that there are things that I Could have done better personally because I think when you're when you're given the opportunity to green light or whatever You just reach out to people again. You have a deep affection for and go. Oh my god. I'd love to include you But then the business comes into play with it. Yeah, you realize. Oh, it's not as easy as just I know But I don't think that I'm and I'll be honest with it just to defend myself I don't think I'm that tough of a cell

You are no joke. No because people have like, you know, I was on spilling up together this ABC show I didn't test I didn't audition. They just gave it to me, right? So I know how people in power feel about me. I've been in many situations like that. I just want to defend myself, right? Yeah, so I you know, I'm just want to say that, you know, I don't think I'm a that big of a cell So but I know that there are political things that I'm not privy to That I'm not gonna take personally anymore and just I will do whatever with you I would to the end of my life. If you want to do something with me, I'll fucking do it I'll memorize my lines. I'll be on fuck. I'll show up and we'll do it

All right, and let's just bury the hatchet with everything. Okay. I don't ever want to say it again Okay, in other podcasts. Yeah, we're ending it now whatever because there's a lot of purity. Yeah, goodness. Yeah, it comes from you Yeah, I mean, I haven't talked about you at all, but you're the one that talks about me But so when you're saying we bury the hatchet it you bear that You bear it you do. Okay. Let me rephrase this the screen cap of the let me rephrase that you bear that and this is what it is Okay. Yes. I you could have just let it go with that I could have said we bury the hatchet, right? Yeah, and then we could have just moved on to the next thing, right? Yeah, but then you had to add in right you bury it

I don't you bury the hatchet. I know whatever that's what it sounds like. Okay, but you bury the hatchet Where where where have you ever been where you're like word on the street is Burns talking shit on like where's that? No, because you have more of a rat pack style that has never happened But I don't you're like Sebastian Meadowskull going that way. You guys have a like a real like huh?

Yeah, but let's just bury it now We I'll bury the hatchet. Okay, since you didn't know you don't have a hatchet I'll bury the hatchet. Yeah, I'll bear for life. Okay, and then you and I can move on.

Yeah, these are things that I Get really down about right and I and I it really affects me. It hurts, right? I suffer but to be fair it you shouldn't air it out on the podcast if that's true Well, he's Did you guys go on a friend moon to Israel? I want to hear. Oh, yeah.

Well, we didn't have to but they asked us to and then when you did it was like I mean the comments were insane at least for me at the time, especially when we went over there was you know

There were heightened tensions between right yeah, yeah, there was a lot of Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah Yeah, I don't have a side when it comes to that but you did that for me and I really do appreciate it and You know, I just um, we're very similar in many ways though I'm not know the ways we live our lives But you are very giving and you roll out the red carpet for a lot of people as well It's not like a let's like each other, but you've you've got a lot of people you got me past the comedy store. Yeah

Want to hear it. I'm so glad this is all happening. Why cuz I feel like I can never explain how he treats me as a human being And then now it's all I am just as confused as you as his partner Yeah, and I think that sometimes you can't tackle Bobby with reason or rationale Yes, you just sort of have to play his game a little bit and play into the psychosis to get a little bit back But here's the good news. You're a 10 and you can leave him at any time. I Don't wanna I he has yeah baited in so hard. Oh, yeah. Yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, look

But yeah, and she's dying from it She needs to be a get the medicine. Okay, but your mom is Korean. Yes. She has the accent. Yeah, she's Korean. I know She has she smells like kimchi jjigae. Yeah, right. You know what kimchi jjigae is, right? Yeah, it's what's stuck in your belly button Fuck you. Oh, there comes the hatchet. Here comes the hatchet No more no more this is so you know why because when I did your podcast this never happened What we're doing now I was polite to you. No, this is what I love This I he is a magic. He likes a little drama is what it comes down to. Yeah, and he likes to

Confuse you so much into submission Like he wants to just sort of this is his style where he'll go in and hurt you But retract go in retract that you're so confused about how you feel that you end up saying sorry Let's get coffee after this I agree Yeah, I'm so glad this is all coming out. But you know what? Doesn't it make me a snowflake? It makes me doesn't it make me the thing about gilbert be on my side for a while. Okay. Yeah gilbert. Doesn't it make me special?

No, you're like hail A snowflake is soft. It's all right. Right watch it come on hail hits you in the head right curious and then it melts Oh, I saw something to defend me, please you're unique Like that's it. That's all you got. That's all you got Because I'm also confused. I also don't know if you like me or no I'm so confused. All right. Let's just throw this out there and let's get this out of the way. Okay And I'm you're right Everyone's right. I have issues

And I don't you don't think when I'm saying certain things I'm going. Why are you saying that? You mean don't call that fat guy a fat guy or whatever Right. I have those things on my head. Don't poke his belly. You don't know him I've poked fat guys in the belly before. Right. I've called um Anyway, I can Okay, yeah, go ahead with with what you're dispelling right now, right? You're you're unpacking emotionally for us right now And we're we're acknowledging some things. Do you understand now why I think Ken in the past has felt the way he has what I felt in the past the way I have but I think I have a

Good report and then there are things that you put in your head per What you believe about other people and I just don't think it's okay. You're right You're right and that's I'm not that when you said that earlier It wasn't something that I was confused about it's 100% shit that I do right. I know this because you know, I've I've been in recovery. I've done steps. I know, you know that I imagine 90% of my problems even probably even more. Yeah, but I also do know when things are a little awry and and I'm being People are putting shade on me. Right. Right. Yeah, I'm not dumb in that way, right?

But and I and I and I want to say this to you is is that um Yeah, I do imagine a lot of stuff, but some of it And even though I didn't you know mean Push from my point of view during what your your side of the story. Right, right? I still believe in some of my side Do you understand? Do you understand? But I do know that about me that I Did I I'm a weird guy. I um, you know, I I create problems in my head

But a lot of these things Not even a lot, but everybody's got their own foils. I mean, I definitely I think I think, you know, you look You just try to do your best representation of yourself. I think all the time and I think that what's even more difficult Is just this environment this industry it is difficult to I think at times Stay positive and and and walk towards the light You know because we all had our hiccups. We've all had our setbacks and stuff But I think you just try to do your best, right? And I think that with him his heart doesn't match his hands

His heart doesn't match his mouth. I know that deep down He is one of the most loving most generous most kind-hearted people I've ever met He just does matches mouth though his stomach matches his mouth. Yeah, that's but his every everything else. He just He's very uh reckless Reckless is a good word. It's a beautiful word and the word of the the podcast reckless Right, right. I agree though. Yeah, I he yes But these are things That are truthful what i'm about to say

Is is that I know this is that I have helped People for sure in the past. Yeah, and I can not that I help people to get anything returned But I do know that none of those people Would ever do the same for me Right. So what I'm saying is is that those things I'm not imagining because they're facts The minute and we haven't announced anything yet, obviously, but the minute I got this next thing Who is the first person I called? What is it? I told you that? Yeah, okay, but the reason why I'm in this next thing is so-and-so has nothing to do with it

What Let it absorb It's so-and-so has nothing to VV. No, that's not true. Does he have something to do with it? No, that's why I'm in it No, but that's see how my head goes there though That's why I'm giving this up. I think your head goes to A lot of places. Okay, but um, I don't and I love your forehead. I understand. Thank you. It's welcome. Yes Anything else? So this Jonathan, let's go to the let's promote your job. It's the amazing job. You've already promoted And I know but you what is it on so it is available now on youtube on the all things comedy channel

and it's just I know how much you love documentaries love them. So you should watch this going to I sent you the link you didn't watch it so This is a documentary the amazing Jonathan Great comedian magician game of thrones like five finalists coming. Oh, I'll watch this. It's the burn document I'm gonna come on man. There's things going on. I'll watch it I watch season one of animal practice Okay, you fucking

You and the little monkey Thank you in the commercial. This is what I love. I love when this happens. Okay, so Jonathan vegas headliner one of the first guys to pop off comedy central um Like the freddy kruger of comedy and magic. He's just a rock star, right? Five years ago. He was given a terminal diagnosis. He's diagnosed with cardiomyopathy And told he has a year to live so he retires from performing. He retires from the stage You combine cardiomyopathy with drug addiction and diabetes and the doctors say you have a year to live get your affairs in order

And Jonathan does he retires? He outlives expectations and decides i'm going to make a return to stage and see if I still have it if I can still perform So I thought what a great impetus into a documentary to to to go through his legacy and his career And to see if he can still do it but Jonathan was one of the first guys ever featured for on the road and I know his Old road manager Joel Osborne while Jonathan was touring the the world and popular in Australia, for example Outside the door was this 12 year old kid who saw his show and was enamored with him

And every year he'd come back the kid would be backstage. Can you sign this? Can you sign this 14 15 16? And then eventually Jonathan gave him like a responsibility. Hey, I got a I have a tour here. You want to manage the tour while i'm in Australia? Yeah, yeah, of course Joel turns 18 He says do you want to come to the united states america and be my road manager? Joel says absolutely And from there It's like rick and morty. I mean these two should not be in each other's lives But for there's this fraternal relationship that develops between them

And again, Jonathan's drug addict suicide attempt all this crazy shit that he put Joel through and Joel kept him on track And basically kept him alive Wow, Joel gets Jonathan's life on track post this awful divorce gets him in a good place Goes to Australia becomes a comedian on his own And then when Jonathan makes a return to stage Joel comes back to open form So it's this wonderful kind of heartwarming documentary about you have all that on there. It's all in there Oh my god now and that's amazing and you produced it right produced directed it Oh my god, all the archival footage and stuff and it's it's truly like a love letter to his legacy to his career

To all the great bits that he's done, but also to just an unorthodox relationship that I think I don't know. It's nice to get away from the tv and watch something. I think positive that yeah from politics How is Jonathan doing now? You know, he I think he has his good days and he's got his bad days. He's still with us, right? He's still with us. Good. Um, and I hope I hope to god. He's with us for a long time But you know, I just don't know. I don't know how much longer. Yeah Yeah, it's so funny because there's a lot of guys like that in comedy that like um

Even the guys that didn't make it as big as amazing Jonathan that like influenced me who I love sure, right? And um, I like the fact that you open for this guy Right back in the day. Yeah, and you're paying it forward, but it's also a really cool Um story. It's sad, right? But yeah, but with a happy end. Yeah, it's a happy ending. Yeah. Wow. That's really cool, man Um, I will watch it. Yeah, I didn't know I thought it was literally just about here's, you know, him on the tonight show And then here he is in smashing a pumpkin with Gallagher and I'm like, uh, I don't know You know, I mean, I didn't know it was that that's cool. Yeah, I I you know the reception we've we played at a few festivals We won a few best docs and stuff. Oh, wow

But I think when you're in the business side of things and you're allotted the decision to you know, see a A nominal return on your on the money spent or the visibility and hopefully people seeing it My decision was I want as many people to see this as possible, especially for Joel and Jonathan I it's just uh, I don't know. So listen up everyone. Everyone listening on it. Honestly, though I know this this podcast has been I I love it, but um, you know, crack, you know, and we done all this stuff Really little hatchets all that stuff, right? But I sort of fucking got at the end of the day Hey, this dude right here is family and he's my brother and um

He's also you're very proactive That's so inspirational You're just constantly doing shit, dude And you know, I'm the laziest guy everyone knows but um, you know, I wish I could have some of your you know, but um, you work all the time But listen Everyone listening right now get the documentary watch it support it because it's a great idea The amazing Jonathan is a legend. Yeah, right. He really is because he infused, you know how sometimes magicians Yeah, no, you're right magicians are just magicians, right? Yeah, and then they do comedy, but it's not funny

Yeah, it's like corny. Yeah, they have one-liners, right? Um, but the amazing Jonathan, I remember watching him going. Oh, this guy's funny like he's genuinely like Gutteral funny, you know, he says he's a better comedian than he is a magician Yeah, but then we like interviewed copperfield and you know, pen Gillette. So there's like real experts You know dissecting his act and telling you exactly what is copperfield skin look like I'll tell you what he's a beautiful man Like I like I was sitting next to him was like, man, that's what it's like to be a billionaire

Like you just he looks wealthy. He looks like a billionaire Right the tan probably right is nice. He just looks great. Right like Jeff Goldblum Yeah, you have a recent obsession with Jeff Goldblum. I've been I've been googling his images. Yeah And it's weird if you look at my google history Every other one is Jeff Goldblum and like Hawaiian shirts deep v's. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah Hosing on top of because Kevin Christie Kevin Christie About six months ago was talking about Jeff Goldblum about his style. Okay, that guy.

You should watch his albums great guy But anyway, we were up there it go. I know I should let it go. Yeah, and we were up there Oh speed has something. Okay. Yeah What there's no letting go Okay, thank you so much, but I remember standing there with you and ken And observing the line. Yeah feeling a sense of like because that was the first time I used to open up for a bigger comic. You know, you've opened up for people

But that was the first time where I said to myself Wow this many people and we did it. I remember we were hugging each other. We did hug each other. Yeah on that on that We were out on the terrace. Yeah, we're looking We were so excited because it was like the first time any of us I think we're on a bill where we saw a line around the block and Yeah, that was that was pretty awesome. I gotta tell you it's like those little memories you gotta hold on to And I'm gonna say this last thing. Yeah, is that I know you'll never do it. Yeah, I know ken will never do it

And if you want more money, you can you can do more. I would I know my place. I know I know my stock. Yeah, but there's no denying that ken is Yeah, you know, yeah a phenomenal draw. Yeah, he's a big draw for sure. So if you want to do that Not knocking you because I'm not I'm not taking it personally dude. I'm not I'm not doing any of that I just I'm the one that brought it up.

Yeah, I'm not kidding you He rocked the house. He never done it before. Yeah, this guy is a natural But he won't do it because he wants he wants to be on a tv show and an audition Go ahead Dear bobby kalila and steve. My name is said drick from france. I'm 20 years old and I live in belgium

In november 2018 my younger sister did a suicide attempt She survived and is doing well physically but mentally is a different story ever since it happened. I quit my job I feel no emotion unless i'm drunk. I have no energy for daily stuff And my place is a mess and I slept for 12 hours straight It just seems like I can't be happy unless the people I love are my question is How do I get my life back on track and feel human again? Said drick greetings from belgium It's heavy. That's the heaviest one

We've ever gotten. I think the great news is the acknowledgement You know that I think that's a step I would I would assume i'm not obviously i'm not a professional But I I assume that the outreach of help should be something positive that said drick can take saying I'm at least acknowledging what's going on and i'm reaching out For help and I think that that's a good sign But I think maybe I also I also think you should put the oxygen mask on yourself first before trying to help other people um, I think such a general rule of life also

Because we have the tendency as humans when we love so deeply to give so much of ourselves to them that we only leave scraps for Ourself and I think that's probably what's happening. He's been so emotionally invested in his sister's well-being that he's given Just scraps to himself. So I think that he needs to focus on him getting better putting the blinders on and Only then he'll be able to finally get his sister to maybe you know, lead her in the right direction It it's not as bad, but it kind of reminds me of when I was I got sober that Second time And my brother was sober that but when I relapsed he had to relapse and so when I got sober sober the second time

My brother was still using Right and he was out there for a couple years just partying, you know and um I'd go to his house and there would be like meth heads and like like street people like homeless people living in his house was crazy and um You know, obviously this is far worse as his sister, you know tried to take her online. It's I'm so sorry

but eventually you just have to You know, it's a tough love is a different difficult thing to say. Um You kind of have to just you know, like she said Live for your you come first You have your and both of you have to see seek therapy That's the bottom line. You need to seek professional help if both of you are feeling this blue day in and day out, you know when um Not to get even more grim, but when I was 17, I had a massive suicide attempt

I was locked up for a month. My sister was in college. She was depressed She couldn't pick up her own pieces because her and I were extremely close and to even think I wrote her a suicide. It was a whole thing. I wrote her a letter everything. Um but Because she was so strong right and she was she really was able to pick me up in her own way and If it wasn't for the fact that she really You know hammered down on her own health and her own stability

I don't think I would have been able to Go to her for support, right? She wouldn't have been able to offer as much support as she was as she was able to do at that time So get healthy. Yeah first you can't help anyone unless you get healthy That's great that you're back on On better ground. I assume right now better. Yeah. Yeah, that's that's when I was 17 I was just a you know hormonal teenager. My father was dying There were so many circumstantial things that were happening in my life. Yeah, so and I I had no real guidance at that time I was just left to my own devices

And so I just became a suicidal Teenager and I was severely depressed. I was in and out of meds. No one told me that I couldn't just abruptly stop my meds I just didn't have that guidance. Sure. And so it became just a recipe for disaster Um, but thankfully my sister who's almost two years older than me. She really had it together Yeah, and it seems like they have a similar age gap too So if you think you're that that person in her life then Then focus on yourself first before you you you reach out to her. Well, thank god, you know He's getting the answer from you. I mean, I don't know if that's the right answer, but that's what you got through it

So I'm sure Let's have you look at see why aren't you on bury a hatchet or two? What happened? I don't know. I just I got really emotional I fell for this once He's gonna reverse reverse hatching very good right now you're learning How to on how to on shut the fuck up. Fuck you. Fuck you. Okay.
