Starting point is 00:03:16 What a poker lie I got to find this picture I have the best photo of all time Bill Burr and Bobby Lee hugging That I've got to find Try to find it because it is wonderful It really is so when Bill Burr first moved to LA He didn't really have a lot of friends. So he called me and he goes. Hey, it's my birthday. You want to come over? So I bought him the DVD old boy because I love the movie. I went to his house
Starting point is 00:03:52 I met his fiance at the time or his girlfriend at the time now. They're married and He played the drums for me. It was great. And then a month later. I lied to him It was something to do with this is that's right. Yeah, I was at the store and I knew the bill was there and they go can bill up go up before you the cover booth and I go No, I don't want him to go before me. I can't follow him. He's gonna go after me, right? But then I went up to Bill and go. Hey, when are you gonna go up? Right and he already knew you already knew that I went to the fucking cover booth, right? Oh, and then he goes you're a Hollywood piece of shit, huh?
Starting point is 00:04:35 Yeah, I was I heard you like he hurt me he was on the other side, but I couldn't see him Oh, you are and I go. I am a liar Not good and then I know it's not good and then we played poker Just recently. Yeah, that's an ATC That's something I'm very excited about because I've seen a cut of this. Yeah, it is so fucking funny It's amazing. So we got five comedians together You got Jay Larson and Jay Larson is really the only guy who knows how to play poker crap These crap feast is a podcast he's on yet any pep a tone
Starting point is 00:05:08 Who's wearing a news boy cap and then he looks it's ridiculous Yeah, and he has a podcast called pep talks and then myself Then you have Bill and you had Bobby. Well at some point and we're gonna put this out but Bobby I You got to see the moment where you look at his cards because you just saw your eyes shift over. Yeah in the sneakiest What is my motto I lied I like to win. Yeah, all right, that's my life, but did you win? Yeah, I did at the end. I think I won. Oh you won. Eddie Pepperton walked away with $450. I didn't win anything. You didn't win anything. You lied for nothing. I just lied again. You lied just to lie. I just walked around lying. You just lied and you know what? The consequences are none. There is no consequences to my lying, but yeah, but it was fun doing that and I know that no Bill and I because I ran into Bill at Sebastian's
Starting point is 00:06:13 Baby shower And he said I saw the video. It's hilarious to do it again. I know I've always liked Bill and it's just a joke. It's a running joke. He doesn't not like me. You know what I mean? He just you know what I mean? Is that what you say to yourself to sleep at night? No, I think that if he really didn't like me that I would not be at. We wouldn't be at ATC. Yeah, right now. No, it's the truth. If he's like because he has beefs, you know, I have beefs. Yeah. And Beefs are good. I think also with mine though, I'm really trying to run this professionally and put those beefs aside and just have a collection of professional comedians.
Starting point is 00:06:54 Let me ask you this. Are there people on your under your umbrella that you don't get along with? I get along with most. But are there people in your umbrella that you don't trust? I've recently let some people go off the network. You did. Yeah, we had to. Why? Because it was it had been decided. But by who? The comedy gods? You're the boss. You and Bill? I would never take sole responsibility for this whole thing so that the board of directors, the people I have sort of advising. Wait, wait, wait. Stop, stop. Now I'm scared. We could be on the chopping board of directors.
Starting point is 00:07:34 They have a fucking board of directors, babe. We didn't know that. I didn't fucking know it. All right, so there's a board. There's a fucking board. Look at me right now, dude. There's a fucking board. All right, who's it at? Okay, first of all, I'm going to get the toughest one out of the way. It's Ari. Shafir. Yes. How the fuck? How does he know this? How the poor? That piece of shit. This is a long time ago.
Starting point is 00:08:01 I'm not scared now, babe. No, you should never be. Boom Chaka Laka. Is he on the board? People don't know him, but he's a homeless comedian. Now, Bert Kreischer. Okay. Tom Segura. Uh-huh. Dave Anthony. Okay. It's random. Whatever. All right, Bill. Yeah. Myself. All right, so when the board get together, do you guys get together in a conference room?
Starting point is 00:08:27 We have. You have. Yes. How do you guys go? We're going to let some of these go. Well, there's certain people that aren't trying at it very hard at all. So they don't record and they, so they have podcasts, but they're just, and they use the studio occasionally. And that's what we just decided to cut off. And then how, who calls them? I had to make those calls. You're the phone call.
Starting point is 00:08:52 Well, I used to do that. You know, I used to do that job. I know, but let me ask you this. The people that you call, are you friends with them? Yeah. So you know them? Yes. So, okay, I don't want to know the names. I know you're not going to tell me. I'll find out. I'm going to find out. I'll tell you that. I'll guarantee you that. So let's say you're calling me.
Starting point is 00:09:12 Let's say you have to let go of Tiger Belly. Okay. Let's know this. Act it out. I will happily, I'll tell you exactly how that goes. Because I used to do this little back story is that I used to do this for a living. My parents own a staffing company. So at 19 years old, I fired my first person. I fired a 22-year-old file clerk. I'm just spacing on her name.
Starting point is 00:09:32 You don't give a fuck. And I fired over a thousand people. Wow. He's addicted to firing guys. If you saw George Clooney, that George Clooney movie, I'm dying. Up in the air. Up in the air, yeah. I'm up in the air. I used to do that.
Starting point is 00:09:50 So you're good at it. I'm very sincere. Alright. Ring ring. I'm picking up. Hey Bobby, what's up? Hey, I'm calling about just real quick. Well, unfortunately, we made a decision. Who's we? The board?
Starting point is 00:10:11 Say all their names again. Okay, the board made a decision. I know what the board. The other guy that I never heard of, Dave Anthony. Dave Anthony has the dollar. Yeah, anyway, what happened? Well, you guys aren't recording. We are. Oh yeah, we're not.
Starting point is 00:10:29 In this scenario, we're not. In this scenario, you're not recording. And then, you know, it's a lot of resources you're being spent. But there's other stuff you can do. And we'd happily keep you on as a member of the family. That's Hollywood hearsay. That's Hollywood hearsay.
Starting point is 00:10:47 Yeah, you know what? We've known each other for a very long time. It's really fucked up that you would call me in this way. You said real quick. You said real quick. Yeah, I'm done. You're done? I'm done too. Bye. Hang up. Yeah, we're done.
Starting point is 00:11:03 We would never have a conversation. Our relationship over. Yeah, but also if they're not recording every week, I'm sure they're loving. No, it's put me in a very difficult spot. The whole thing has put me. Yeah, that just what just happened just now made me feel
Starting point is 00:11:19 horrible. And all the calls, actually, there was one that was difficult. But the rest of them were completely fine and they understood. And the most difficult thing is, we're a group of peers.
Starting point is 00:11:35 And for your peers not to think this is working out. But just because everybody has a podcast doesn't mean you need a podcast. There's a lot of people that came on and dropped off. John Heffron thought he wanted a podcast. He's a great guy. I said to me, come on in.
Starting point is 00:11:51 Didn't do it. But he also just quit. He just stopped. Yeah, love him though. So Rory Scoville just called me and he said, I want to do one. And I looked at all the stuff that he was doing and I said, are you sure? And then he second guessed the whole thing and he's super busy
Starting point is 00:12:07 and he said, you're right. I can't do it right now. I don't have one. Because I'm overwhelmed with all this other shit. And then another good example is John Reep just called me. And he wants to do one. I love him. And he had one with Sideshow Network. But then he he fucking, I said, look, Reep
Starting point is 00:12:23 you're going to be like all these other guys and you're going to think you want to do it. But then you're not going to do it. So why don't you just bank five and see if you can get those out of the way and then we'll talk. Wow. And it puts me in a horrible fucking position. I hate it. But at the upside of all this is the poker show. We shot a cooking show
Starting point is 00:12:39 with Bert Kreischer and Thompson Girl called Something's Burning. It's fucking hilarious. Of course. Two fucking heavyweights too. Bert is disgusting. He's like fucking wiping his nose constantly and making the recipe. It was fucking gross. So that's going to be fun to watch. And we're just going to try to make
Starting point is 00:12:55 shows. And like, you know and hopefully like there's so many people that aren't working. I think Chris Fairbanks Michael Costa, Che Larson like there's all these great comics that aren't working in television. Does Costa have one? Costa has a podcast called Worst Birthday.
Starting point is 00:13:11 It's very, very funny. I love him. But Costa needs a TV show. So what all things comedy is going to do is we're going to make TV shows with all these guys that the whole thing was started because we shouldn't have anyone telling us when it's our time.
Starting point is 00:13:27 Like, you know what I'm saying. And we can go out directly to the people with, you know, and ask you a question, something I'm going through right now. You've booked pilots before, right? Yes. I booked one for ABC and I check on my phone deadline every day to see if there's any rumors.
Starting point is 00:13:43 Primetime pilot panic. Did you do that or no? I try not to. It's so hard not to. When it gets close to May you got to look every day. Yeah, good. Because every other day I'll just kind of peek, I'll google it just to see if there's any rumors or whatever.
Starting point is 00:13:59 Why do we do that to ourselves? Because what we just got and we got a one in ten chance of winning the lotto. And that's what happened. That's what it is. Is that the stat, though, one in ten? Pretty much.
Starting point is 00:14:15 There's eight comedy pilots that got made and they're going to pick two up and so yours could be one of those. And so, which one are you? Something doesn't have a chance! What's the ABC? Which one is it? It's with me, Oliver Hudson. Yeah, Oliver Hudson. Me, Oliver Hudson, Jenna Fisher.
Starting point is 00:14:31 It's a family comedy. Yeah, we can get your hopes up about that one. That's funny, John. Kristen taught me my wife who's half Korean. Love your fucking wife, Ted. She has taught me. I go in auditions and I leave it. I hope I get it. But then I just,
Starting point is 00:14:51 it's just dead. But I always feel like you generally always book it. No. I go in so many auditions that I don't book anything. There's a ton of rejection. Because whenever I look at you, I go, here's a guy that just every time he goes in, he gets something.
Starting point is 00:15:07 We've both been in a lot of shows. I've been on ten pilots. This show that I have coming out is my tenth pilot. Wow. Wow. Plus Daily Show, which was in between. Ten pilots, four to get picked up. One to go two seasons. I've done seven.
Starting point is 00:15:23 One got picked up. That's not a fucking fuck it. That's not a fucking fuck it. But that kept you out of pilot seasons. So that's what I'm saying. Making what? Shit every week? This is what I bought. This thing.
Starting point is 00:15:39 This is like the fucking thing of what I did. Cats. Nightmare. I met you. I can tell you when I first, I can tell you when I usually first remember seeing you for the first time. Where we had our first conversation.
Starting point is 00:15:55 Can you tell me when that was? I came down in 2003. Do you remember the place? Was it back of the comedy story? No. Dublin's? Go say it. I met you the first time I ever talked to you in my mind.
Starting point is 00:16:11 Was at the parking lot at the Hollywood Center Studios. For what? That is totally true. You nailed it. You were sad because your show didn't get picked up or something? I was coming to clear out my stuff.
Starting point is 00:16:27 What happened? Matt TV shot there. Bobby, this is totally the case. I didn't even know. I was like, hey, you give me a huge hug. Did I really? Thank you for saying that. Toots his own horn.
Starting point is 00:16:43 This is why I do my own horn. Thank you. It's part of the thing. I like to talk about me. And he just said that. I want you guys to look at me in the eyes. No, no. Lock eyes with me.
Starting point is 00:16:59 Behold. Behold. Behold, baby. Beholding. You get a big knowledge break. I just want to throw that out there. Because you guys treat me like I'm a tyrant. And I got all the power.
Starting point is 00:17:15 I'm a dream waver. and you know what he did to me for me after I hugged you him in San Francisco tell him what you did for me what the Mitchell Brothers oh yeah I took on the Mitchell Brothers Mitchell Brothers Theater so in San Francisco no no it's fine yeah so let me back up this is let me explain how sad the moment was yeah so when I went to Hollywood so I got down here I was a San Francisco comedian I was working for my parents family business firing people I was miserable I cried in my office I knew I needed to do stand-up so I did
Starting point is 00:17:58 stand-up it sort of took off I got cast in a show and I moved my whole family down the show got picked up so I moved my wife and my son a one-year-old moved him down we're supposed to get 12 episodes I moved into a house that was way too expensive and my wife told me not to rent the house was 3200 bucks a month in 2003 yeah and moved in and then I bought a car for cash and the show got canceled cut its episode order and Bobby caught me pulling the parking spot reserve for Al Madrigal sign and I was bummed out look up but I don't forget were you driving like a black like a Ferrari it was a GTI or it could have
Starting point is 00:18:52 been something like that so yeah I I saw you in that moment and then we did I've probably not too long after that like 2005 2006 we went back up and did a benefit it was TIG you it was Ian Edwards Ian Edwards Jonathan Colton who is like just a very famous now it's like super famous singer you know like he does the he's a lot of songs and albums on this huge following and so we had put on this great show but then afterwards guess what I do do me a favor take my buddy over to Mitchell Brothers now the Mitchell Brothers got a pass from the city of San Francisco and the police department so those were the first two
Starting point is 00:19:33 guys to make porn so they made behind the green door they made all this and this was a six sixty dollar cover 60 dollar cover to get in but they have like San Francisco has so many other problems that they just sort of give their strip clubs a pass yeah and so so there's this gigantic Russian lady yeah but the face of Ivan Drago with me and she and we just never saw yeah I was married with my brother yeah yeah your brother and I was just in there and this lady picked me up on my neck fuck me like I was a pocket pussy and then and then I left and I just locked eyes without I go that what a brother
Starting point is 00:20:28 he doesn't have to be there right because he's got a kids and a wife and no but you're responsible would you bring you sort of you as a guide you know and as a host responsible yeah you don't know yeah he didn't show me with a bridge he didn't show me or the other landmarks yeah exactly and then um but you're also friends with very good friends with Freddy Soto yes and like was Freddy Soto and Joe Rogan sponsored me to get passed at the store so I was like and Freddy I went on tour with and yeah there's two let me say something about him people don't know who he is not crazy it's crazy this dude was a
Starting point is 00:21:16 fucking beast he was in line so there's like George Lopez and he Freddy had he lived he passed away and what in 2010 maybe a little yeah nine 2009 maybe he was gonna have his own show yeah he was gonna be the next sort of big Latino he had a heart attack I guess he just slept the wrong way but he's obese or party animal or combo you know other ways he was a party animal when they looked at the autopsy or his heart failure yeah yeah I remember where I was man and you know Freddy and I we went to Hawaii together two months before he passed we we did the Maui film festival we did stand up yeah and but before
Starting point is 00:22:16 that Freddy and I hadn't talked in like six years you had a thing we know we both just didn't I mean I've liked him fine he just had problems with me you know and a lot of the problem stems from in retrospect I came him from came up from San Diego I had no money and it's hard to survive like I didn't have a family I had no connections so I have a bit of a I'm an opportunistic guy when it comes to when it when it comes to me in a desperate situation I'll do things to get get myself in a better situation you know so you know in just retrospect I could have handled things differently but he didn't really we were
Starting point is 00:23:06 friends and then we weren't who's the dad thing that has a lot to do with it I mean he I did my dad on stage he did his dad his dad was everybody does their dad right like it's like so but he's saying that I stole his essence and what you know how some kind of yeah that's insane but you know what at the end of the day though you know regardless no which is something that you know he was I would sneak in the room even though I know that we weren't getting along and I would watch him because this dude was legitimately extremely talented I think you can find it on YouTube look at Freddy Soto just yet SOTO and it you

Starting point is 00:44:45 show we just saw the trailer before we started this and it's about the comedy store where I started Mike stand up and it's it's about the comedy store in the 70s when Mitzi ran it yeah 1973 1973 and what's great about the show is they're using real comedians yeah Al's in it Andrew Santina the fat black gay guy what's his name Eric Griffin you have a thing with Eric Eric loves you he's one of my best friends okay he calls me he calls him the fat black hope okay and Dom is in it a rara yeah as what he plays fitzy was who's fitzy that's sort of drunk old comic that's his mom isn't it yeah yeah Dom is in it and Earl
Starting point is 00:45:30 Skakel is in it oh what does he play he just his character his character is named Al Sims and he is sort of a drunk as well who gets propped up he's like an open miker and then who else got in there Jaron got in a little bit and but but the characters are our prototypes yeah yeah we did types so who is Andrew Santino sort of like a Bill Hicks type a social commentary yeah okay angry Eric Eric no real type I don't think there's nobody Eric's really modeled after he's a war vet though yeah it's like he's a Vietnam War vet yeah okay your Freddie Prince little Freddie Prince a little Cheech a little Carlos Mancia in there
Starting point is 00:46:17 right you see wine episode 3 wow cool and then on what and then who else is what does Clark Duke and Michael and Geronimo play two new Boston comics so basically there's veterans there's established vets that's Ari Grainer plays more of like a new ish but as your comic she just gets the main room and then you have Andrew Santino Clark oh you know who's hilarious who steals every single scene that he's in is John Dailey oh John Dailey is so funny John Dailey is the best character you know who he is he's sort of like a Tommy fucking wow yes it's just daily is very funny John Dailey is a reason enough
Starting point is 00:47:05 and alone to watch this show through the entire season he's incredible in the whole thing every single table table read I can't wait to watch this guy then we have a young Eddie Murphy type who's coming in the scene that's RJ Silor who's a power ranger yeah do you ever see that me Earl on the dying girl yeah yeah Earl he's so that kid is the most charming dude ever and they said Clark Duke and Michael and Geronimo two Boston comics that come how much involved is Jim Kerry he would come in early in the writers room and sat there and told us all stories and had some great stories we're modeling after Clark and Michael's
Starting point is 00:47:44 character it's Ron and Eddie come and live in a closet at John Dailey's house and that is all from Jim Carrey wow yeah he slept in a closet the Jim Carrey yeah yeah I love hearing Jim Carrey stories back in the comic he used to his great stories about they would all lock themselves in the main room and do acid yeah yeah and the comedy stories you talked about it being haunted for a long time because they used to be seros and so when we used to go into that belly room green room and I think they sort of blocked it all off now yeah trying to fix it up but there used to be a hole where they used to spy on and
Starting point is 00:48:22 there it's a sniper hole well I don't think you can shoot guys yeah because that pillar that pillar when you look through it that pillar beam wasn't there that was added on later yeah apparently without that beam you can see the whole floor and the curtains yeah and then people were sniping from that's what I was told I think they pointed people out maybe yeah yeah whole thing because they would just grab another Jim Carrey story was like one time in the main room there used to be this gigantic grand piano and he was up early apparently and he bombed so then he went into the grand piano and closed the thing and he
Starting point is 00:48:59 stayed in there for like seven hours and he would pop it open every once well and the audience would laugh and he would be in there the whole fucking time yeah he also said that he went on stage one night and just insisted on walking the entire room like stayed up eight every eight into every single comedians time just took everyone's spot went up and just stayed on until two o'clock in the morning so he went up in like a nine o'clock 9 30 spot and stayed on till two oh my god fucking fuck everybody and just cuz he didn't care and he was in a dark space and just and wow walk to everybody in the entire room
Starting point is 00:49:43 except for like three people that gave him a standing ovation at the end what's great about the comedy store and a lot of industry people don't like the store because there is an element of lawlessness there used to be remember when you first started they did now there's a great Brian Holtzman story about when he Martin Lawrence's crowd came in we had that showcase yeah so Brian Holtzman if you ever see him the name Brian Holtzman on a lineup at the comedy store and you come to Los Angeles I want you to even if you are out and you see that name and you go in towards the end and just watch you sort of got
Starting point is 00:50:18 to be there the whole evening to appreciate it yeah you got it we asked he said yeah he didn't oh he'll do it no I'm gonna get him I can help with that please because he is he is so original and he's a fucked up person but he's so fucking funny I tried to get him for I'm dying up here and he called me after the audition I fucked up I really fucked up but you know I shouldn't be doing this you know yeah you know when you know you did good yeah I didn't do good oh yeah but so what about Brian Martin Lawrence oh Brian so here's Brian Holtzman has his big chance to get like an agent or something like that
Starting point is 00:51:07 really is gonna get him some you know the recognition because I think Damon Wayne saw him and put him on my wife and kids like they saw him like certain comics see him and try to put him in things and Damon Wayans had the power to just put him in the show I didn't have enough power to just get him the I'm dying up here thing but I got him the audition and that happened I put him in a sketch that I did I used to work for comedy.com in like 2006 and I did a sketch I got to find this it's called Brian Holtzman is trapped in the internet and he goes whoa smells like an Indian kids dick in here. He's flying through the internet.
Starting point is 00:51:53 We've got to visualize what he looks like he is a gigantic fat 60 55 he looks like a American the dad an American dad almost like you know like he looks like he's got a flat top and he's an airline mechanic yeah a little bit older but he wears like members only jackets but not ironically or in a hipster way like that's the only jacket he's ever on pleated dockers right just zipped up he brought he walked in the other night and he had a big bag of McDonald's cheeseburgers and just dumped him out he goes here you go everybody cheeseburgers yeah I'm me doesn't he work for the city like as a well he worked as an
Starting point is 00:52:38 airline mechanic yeah I know but the last time he was telling us that he did like parking citation or something to that effect oh he might have got I think he was his time as an airline mechanic came to an end we did a gig in Tucson and he goes I'm gonna drive right so I get in his car and we're in the middle of the desert it just conks out this car we have no money we walked five miles to the nearest town and his brother wired him money to get a hotel room next thing I know we missed the gig we're in this shitty hotel room two beds and I'm sleeping and I turn around and he's not sleeping he doesn't get under the
Starting point is 00:53:20 cover he's on top of the sheets he has his shoes on what he was wearing and he's just leaning to his side and he's just staring at me it was fucking because you know he's the kind of guy that get out of the room gook like he has said things and don't things right that like makes it like you know and at the time I didn't know him that well and I was really scared of whoa but I think he is so important he's very funny he speaks to the lawlessness that we were sort of talking about why industry people don't like the comic store so one night he has this audition for a big agent and Martin Lawrence's people came in and they were
Starting point is 00:54:10 being disruptive and apparently as legend goes like you asked him about this when he's on the show but he said fuck it and just jumped in the crowd and started fighting him yeah no he fights his bodyguard I apparently he jumped on top of Martin Lawrence's bodyguard yeah he said some racial things too this is what I heard mm-hmm I don't want to say it now yeah and he says beating the shit I mean it was a scuffle yeah yeah whoa so he's that dude like I saw him in La Jolla once and he was they would headline him headline him in La Jolla crazy and a lady goes you're terrible she was eating
Starting point is 00:54:46 it she turns around and he kicks her in the back right and goes get out of your heart you know and and then it's chaos he does this thing with movies you say the movies now all these movies yeah they got the finding Dory don't know what he's saying on there it's a treat he hands out buttons afterwards I brought everybody from the I'm dying up here the actors and I they kept coming we should go we should go I go no please stay please stay and they saw one of the best Brian sets of all time because then all the comics that are still there go he's on he's on he's on they go in that's the thing about him
Starting point is 00:55:44 is is that if you're in the building and Brian's about to go up people just wander into the room because you don't know what's gonna happen is it sometimes he's extremely funny like he somehow his improv's and the way he's thinking he's connected with the audience and everything he's saying he's killing but you also want it not to go well because when it doesn't go well he lashes out he likes screams you know yeah crazy this is my life yeah yeah yeah I mean he really is something but he goes up at one in the morning you're never you're probably sleeping right then yeah yeah yeah it's worth it it's worth it and so
Starting point is 00:56:30 there were there used to be I mean when we were also first there because you and I have gone in you more than me waves of this thing like Le Boca and all those bad comics and then you know even like Johnny's app hanging around and all these so the comedy store had so many different bookers and now when they have Tommy and then in way more Adam Eggett who's just done such a good job yeah he revolutionized and changed the whole thing and people think it's because of podcasts and all this other popularity but I really think it's because Adam it's 100% Adam I tell him that every day yeah it's gonna do his head but um that
Starting point is 00:57:11 place used to be so scummy on a weekend you would look at the lineup and go I'm following Raul who's Raul yeah and you can walk up to Raul on a Saturday night and it's Mitzi's Gardener and it's not even a joke like she would put up people toward the end that had never even done stand up what was the purpose and this she just would go he's he's got a unique look that's it yeah he's he looks like you know the apocalyptic Mexican right and so she put put him up like people that they were open micers but they had a fat lady but with a mustache she goes that's a hook right you that's something that's gonna make it and she
Starting point is 00:57:56 wouldn't that's why when Louis CK you I mean auditioned for her he didn't have a thing he did one minute and she wasn't even listening she goes lying him he doesn't have it oh wow and we turned her and goes he's had two HBO specials like she was so disconnected mm-hmm George Lopez auditioned for Mitzi halfway doing a set he snapped hey bitch listen to me bitch keep all the way down here you know I mean like people have showcased in front of her and snapped my showcase which I got sponsored by Freddie Soto and Joe Rogan I went up and right when I walked on stage who could waltz in Ahmed Ahmed just talks to Mitzi the entire
Starting point is 00:58:37 time my three minutes kissing her hand and shit yeah and then fucking didn't get past yeah and then she saw me in the main room do a benefit and then pick me up and pass me right away yeah and walk into have you ever been to her house no the walls are all black like the comedy store it was like walking into like a nightmare a pure nightmare and then there's a pink room where she's at I used to watch Ahmed there with Orioles massaging her feet like you know I mean what's up I'm mad he said what's up dude yeah yeah it'd be like okay bye you do that a
Starting point is 00:59:37 little bit in the show not the massaging the feet thing but that's good to know yeah we have one of the comics go up there too and hang out the house yeah people used to do that well I heard crazy stories about speaking to hang out the house like who's a cat Williams what would had he was hanging out the store and then gave one of the guys it was so excited to get a job remember it was Dante or no tell me the story because I have a cat Williams on so this one this black eye comic who didn't have anything really going on he goes I walk up and get I go what's going on here's a big smile on his face he goes cat Williams
Starting point is 01:00:17 just gave me a writing gig and I go oh that's sweet yeah nice song I'm like how was that cat Williams a writing gig going he goes man I walked up there yeah went to his house watch it in the fucking dining room there's 20 motherfuckers with laptops yeah yeah no he's writing he picks people to write jokes for him like 20 people like a switch off scripts yeah all kinds of stuff guys not doing anything and just taking money that's why cat like he's just had so many people on his payroll oh wow that Sebastian went up on stage you hear this story now he had a great set he gets off and this older very skinny African-American lady
Starting point is 01:01:03 who doesn't really bolt she had never seen her before she gets here and he gave Sebastian she gave Sebastian $500 this is from cat you're funny wow hands it out cat doesn't give it to him some lady so he told us later to give Sebastian $500 just because he had a good set wow that's he wasn't taking the jokes or anything I don't know I don't think so no Sebastian's hard to steal from I mean cat Williams I listened to in the car when you have that serious so you can listen to all the jokes and they're all fun he's hilarious funny guy naturally yeah yeah yeah what we doing time wise we're over an hour did you guys want to
Starting point is 01:01:45 talk about that United Airlines oh let's do that so can you explain to me because I just saw the footage as I was leaving the house I'll give you a quick synopsis so you know I just be I don't want you to do a bit but I just want to say before that what you're about to say infuriates me okay I'm just it's just a synopsis I know but the synopsis is not what I did I know you didn't do it but it infuriates me go ahead okay quick synopsis flight from Chicago to Louisville Kentucky the flight a United flight is overbooked they've been doing that they which they always do in case there's missed connections or people that missed
Starting point is 01:02:25 their flights they want to account for those they don't want the seats empty because they want their money so you know most of the time they always they overbook so they ask for people everyone had boarded the plane they ask United employees walk in and say hey we need four people to disembark because we have four united employees that need to get to Kentucky so three out of the four people acquiescence no that's not sorry backtrack no one wanted to give up their seat no I wouldn't either yeah yeah but then this is when they say okay well we'll give you you know $800 voucher yeah 200 extra dollar voucher or we'll give you
Starting point is 01:03:10 400 and the price keeps going up and up and up I don't know what was arranged or what was decided on but three out of the we got to eat no no no they still still nobody wanted to go I know but I'm just saying the money got to only 800 that's what that's what they said yes I read it $800 and he stopped it at there okay so they said $800 and everyone some no one wanted to get off the plane still so they said okay well we just have we're gonna randomly select four people which is weird so they did that and three out of the four left the plane and the last guy that they chose which is an Asian man who claims to be a doctor he is a doctor
Starting point is 01:03:49 he is yes he's like no I'm not gonna get off the plane I paid full price somebody else at random yeah yeah and they and they said no you're the guy yeah and he didn't want to get off so they called law enforcement and then law enforcement basically dragged his body out of there spaces his face was busted open his face smashed people in the armrest everyone's screaming on the plane because this man is yeah leave him alone like I it and you know I would have done if I was on that flight what I would have been up like I would I you know I wish I would meet you I would have stopped I go up to but I would be I mean you have let those are
Starting point is 01:04:28 cool cops I don't give a shit like I would I know but now you're not in the situation I swear to you on my children's life if I see a man being dragged off against his will yeah I'm not gonna fight a cop but I'm gonna stop him from fucking dragging him off the plane and I'll get dragged off too I swear to God like I would never let I saw the guy being dragged I wish I wish I could see the same he would be playing the jewel oh my god yeah I don't know what I would be sitting there I wouldn't do it but be infuriated this happens to you though yeah I would die he would die because you don't know what I'm like at even just
Starting point is 01:05:07 the security check he hates TSA agents he fights them yeah I finally got him the global past because it was I was losing my even then all right I'm going through the thing right there is no reason why you have to ask me where you headed off to fuck you never I've never done any listen I'm with TSA I love you you're human beings we're at equal level okay but let me say something right now we're gonna say something no one wouldn't know when that looks like me is ever done nothing but I almost I got kicked off a flight because I go to so the lady didn't wasn't helping me it was like a situation where there was a line
Starting point is 01:06:02 and then she picked somebody over me at so we're in the flight about to board at one of the desks you know and then she goes she picks me above I go hey what just happened why didn't you pick me she goes sir you need to calm down I go you just I'm in line here and you just pick somebody that was behind me to come forward what do you mean I'm in the line and then a supervisor walks up and she goes what's going on here sir black lady and I go what's happening is this is what happens when you're flying while you're brown and this is discrimination she goes how is he she discriminated you against you when you're white and I go
Starting point is 01:06:47 what did you say how dare you call me white yeah yeah yeah where are you standing up I got I always get pulled out when I do random screenings I get pulled out me too and I got pulled out by black security I go flying while brown huh guys and they go what did you just say the same shit yeah baby I do the same as he does I go I guess it's tough flying well I go this is what happens it's okay for you guys to discriminate against brown people while flying huh because I didn't see you pull anybody else out and I go how you just doing this at random and they're like these black two black guys were just laughing to go
Starting point is 01:07:35 do you you just called us racist yeah damn right I did I get into it I mix it up here's a no yeah first-class ticket dude right I went to the bathroom right I'm in the bathroom I grab my stuff I'm walking toward the gate and I could see that there was already first class had just you know me and then they're gonna call the next yeah zone number one or whatever it was so I run up and I hand her the thing she doesn't even look at she goes it's not your turn yet right now at that point I could have said look at the ticket take a look but it didn't would you do I waited till the very end he loves the spectacle I love
Starting point is 01:08:19 the spectacle so all four zones already that's a much better for zones already when on the fucking plane and I'm the last guy walk up and I go to the lady I go it's so weird because see my ticket it's first-class and how am I the last person on the flight and she looks at she goes oh well you didn't tell me I go you didn't read it right I screamed like that yeah and I just walked in and doing it that way is so much more better it teaches him a lesson it teaches them lessons about life lessons guys you guys want to know something interesting what because my sister you know our names are basically Arabic right because of this
Starting point is 01:09:09 whole new since the Trump administration she was she came back from Europe and she was stopped and heavily questioned simply for having a KHA as Calaela Coinda and for that reason alone what they asked her her religion they asked her all of that crazy yeah I mean she you know she works for the city and as a prisoner so she just you know answers the questions but I'm in my head when I'm hearing the story like just a heat coming out in my ears you know yeah I just I just can't I just don't like authority I think so what would you have done Bobby you would have just like let it go you wouldn't have stood up and say
Starting point is 01:09:53 hey what the fuck are you doing I think I would have said something everybody on the flight must be going to leave him yeah they were they were they were and I think because he was Asian I would have said something my question is that is that racist if he was a old white guy any I would still say something I would still say something but the level would be little he's got the most amazing law sued on his hands yeah oh yeah my question is fuck out of them was there a language barrier because my friend I texted my friend who works for Delta and I was like hey dude like how high up are they supposed to go to offer people to
Starting point is 01:10:28 get off the plane and he was like look I've seen I've seen people get paid $1,200 cash in hand cash and most we've never had this problem because most people want that's well I would take $1,200 stop stop babe here that's what that's the point okay I read an article they stopped at $800 but it wasn't even cash it was like a voucher voucher right now this is how you do it $800 cash no $1,200 no $1,500 hands would start the whole plane no incident no incident much much cheaper for United now they're gonna probably have to pay a hell of a lot more than that they may get they may lose millions for it from this look I got
Starting point is 01:11:15 my speaking which yeah look at this what is this United mileage plus I would cut that in half right now my friend or at the end of our podcast we do an email what's called unhelpful advice okay so he's gonna read an email unhelpful advice with Bobby Kalilah and the boss of the boardroom hi tiger belly my name is MJ I'm about to turn 25 and I am in the process of getting out of a four-year cohabitating relationship I struggle with crippling self-doubt and self-loathing it's one of the reasons why I stayed in this relationship for so long I'm scared to go back to being alone and having to fend for myself but I
Starting point is 01:11:59 desperately need to try what is your advice about how I can get my groove back how can I see the positive in the situation it's a guy or oh yes if you ever have a I'm mixed-race Asian I grew up in a religious cult in Japan also I met Bobby when I was 16 at a meeting in a religious cult what meeting he's Japanese is it a guy or girl girl Mary normally just handle this because I have some stuff right away that I always typically say to people in the situation no you go first you go through the I really when you're severing a relationship and you're gonna do something like what I find is most
Starting point is 01:12:44 helpful is pouring yourself into self-improvement I would go to the gym every single day I would go and read as much as possible I would just really try to hang out with as many friends I just really try to better yourself and busy yourself is the most important thing you're not gonna wallow in it and just lay around you know it's like a John Favreau and swingers laying around in his apartment right buddies come and break them out you sort of got to do that to yourself so I really think you need to be volunteer there's a I'm not sure what city this person is in but I think you need to volunteer I think you
Starting point is 01:13:22 need to read and I think you need to work out and be social as much as possible and she's only 25 oh you get your whole life ahead of you and oh my god just for you to be locked into this four-year relationship living with somebody that was even a bad call you're making the perfect choice by severing it right now and just get out there and you're gonna be in great you're young you don't think about this I wonder why all that self-doubt though do you think that maybe you know you know being raised in a yeah maybe she's susceptible her susceptibility to being to latch is hi yeah and she was also
Starting point is 01:14:02 this is probably the first big relationship post cult yeah so she maybe identifies always with being around someone else not just being alone cuz yeah but being alone is really fun I like it that's what I say and you know you're cuz you're in such a family situation I'm around people at all times we just had an incident at a Rubio's we went on saw beauty in the beast and everybody's happy we had a great family moment it just goes away immediately because I go to a Rubio's and I go hey what does everybody want my daughter steps up and she goes I want a street taco and I want a chicken quesadilla
Starting point is 01:14:36 I got street taco chicken quesadilla I go what does everybody else want my son goes I want one taco I think you're 15 years old yeah and then my wife she goes I she's looking and I go do you want to get a taco plate I go does anybody else my wife didn't say anything and then I go and she the lady goes anything else and I go anything else anybody and then nobody said anything so again then my wife goes you rush me I didn't get a chance to look at the menu it's fucking Mexican food it's the same menu everywhere we go everywhere we go it's tacos burritos quesadillas they're not fucking mixing it up I know sometimes the fuck is a problem just all
Starting point is 01:15:16 in that situation you say I'm sorry I'm sorry I was at fault I was at fault even though she's completely at fault it's insane that's what we do I'm sorry really is that what we do I'm just saying that just in this situation oh okay in this situation yeah sorry she was at fault Jesus yeah yeah it's Mexican food I know Rubios is great by the way when your son was he asked for only one taco because of protest you when I don't know what then he is eating the second taco because I got three yeah and my wife goes see you wanted two tacos and he goes I said I wanted two tacos yeah you tell me you said fucking more than one yeah yeah and
Starting point is 01:16:03 my wife's like you're swearing and then with the worst part about it is I said if fucking is what the fuck is wrong with our family I go we can't just look at a Mexican menu and all figure out what we want and then I was saying this and before I did swear on the rubios barely I was in it but one guy and that one guy walks past me and he goes hey are you all magical and here I am with my family going hey get your fucking shit together and then what'd you say yeah hey how are you nice to see you hi but did that help the situation no not at all all you know your kids should go oh yeah our dad's a celebrity yeah even in a rubios

Starting point is 01:20:34 can't accommodate for that we got a large of this one's a bigger room than last time but it is still still yeah it's still a small intimate event as much as we would love to have just a big place for everybody which is we're just not there yet start the email submissions but is that what is that how we'll put something out on Instagram with the directions probably about be a question so how do we choose the people to come to the live show last time we had them right in and and give us the reason why to choose them but how how should we choose this time um just send me powdered dream water I guess so much
Starting point is 01:21:15 dream water I have no powdered dream water left wait we just got someone sent you I already ate them all damn oh my god what lottery we'll put we'll come up with something competition I don't know man we'll figure it out we'll put on our Instagram or Twitter and within you'll probably when you're hearing this podcast already be out so yeah I think that's probably a good idea let's say for instance what do what is this part we're doing we're doing just housekeeping you're not supposed to be a part of this but we would but this is at the end yeah this is the end people listen to this yeah well usually when you leave we lose
Starting point is 01:21:45 half yeah yeah it's just okay how did you that was a fun podcast I thought it was good yeah I like him a lot are we doing one next week a guest no next week I do one without one next week guys we have no one yeah we've got it booked out the next month cool we got a fancy Mexican does on today last week was a fancy black all legit the cats too many fancies everyone's allergic to cats though I know we're gonna figure that out too we're just gonna make like enough money so we can get our own studio we are we're getting there we are getting there I feel good about it okay so Bobby how do we choose the people should they write
Starting point is 01:22:24 one I feel uncomfortable I shouldn't be in here right now yeah that's why we do why he leaves that's why yeah I can't do it right now I feel uncomfortable okay we'll get you man all right um so yeah I mean you talk about now we can just figure it out and we'll definitely put on Instagram and Twitter I had was a have people a videotape their parents listening to tiger belly or somebody who they know would hate if they don't have parents or do you ever think about that no how insensitive of you look at Bryce trigger warning guys trigger warning sorry to those people yeah yeah is there anything fun video we
Starting point is 01:23:04 can make I have people do like that's entertaining I don't want people to go out of their way to do things that are unnatural for them what I know these people we can't ask them to draw like not everyone's an artist we can't ask them to dance not everyone wants to be on camera some of these people maybe three different ways you know what you know you can either we want no more than 10 sentences on an email please because I just don't I have a little bit of ADD and I just don't have the or leave it mental capacity I can't I'm sorry if you're gonna if you if you choose to write an essay I probably won't get
Starting point is 01:23:41 through the whole essay I do love an occasional long letter but for this particular purpose of choosing people I'd rather keep it to a brief no more than 10 sentences tell us why a little bit about yourself and why you want to come to the live show that's one option you can do that you can also submit do that same thing which in the video form if you feel more comfortable you guys did at the picnic submit your best impression of Bobby dancing at little 10-second clip oh yeah yeah so you can either so write 10 sentences or 10 seconds of you impersonating Bobby dancing what should we hashtag so we
Starting point is 01:24:21 find it well they don't they can submit it to us or they can post it on their Instagram too your best chances honestly to get on the show is if you have an Instagram page that we can look at that's not on private that's how at least I chose people the last time is when I can match their email to a face in a name and that that basically up their chances yeah so those are the two so you can either dance like Bobby or write as a letter yeah if we have a third option we'll announce that you know if you find me if you live in the LA area and you find me you can come oh yeah that's right or if you flag one of us down yeah if

Starting point is 01:25:42 videos of with people that recognize you and I that has not happened to me not one time thing I think cuz we maybe cuz we're like f-level celebrities you're considered like an a-lister so like shut the fuck are you crazy I would walk up to Andy Milanakis but I would not walk up to Denzel Washington you're a Denzel Washington look you're not a star oh my god look the reason it never happens to me is because I just don't go to public spaces except when you're benching 450 yeah in my own home gym in my sister's garage Jesus okay yeah those okay April 27th that's a Thursday correct the location will be given specifically to
