Hi, I'm Bobby Lee, and I created a graphic novel with my friend Matthew here. It's called Deadweight. Look at how beautiful this is. Wow. Wow. Amazing. Dude, this looks great. Look at that.

Oh, my God, dude. You can get it everywhere. Books are sold. Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and Gunnerbooks.com. It's rated our Kung Fu Panda meets Kickass. It's from my heart. And so please check it out. What are the side effects?

There's a delay in my response to it on podcasting. Like, I'll think of a joke, and then, like, 20 seconds later, I'll say it. But then we've already talked about another topic. Damn. He's taking your move. Yeah, yeah. That's your move, dude. 20 minutes late?

Yeah. Hey, Merry Christmas. A month. It's really good, man. You're a dandy, dude. If there's one word to describe, Jaime, it's dandy. If there's one word to describe Bobby.

What is it? Messy. Nice. In what way? Your little toy collections? I'm sorry. In what way am I? No, you're not messy.

Why would you say that? I don't know, man. Why do people say things that don't even make sense, man? That's true, man. That's true. They're just, I feel like everybody's just saying things out of their ass. Other ass.

Yeah. Like what's real or what's not anymore, you know? Yeah. Like the other day I was at a real. You're not real. I am real. You're real? I'm real, man.

Prove that you're real. I'm, okay. I'm at a red light in Dallas. Okay. Here it goes. It's two in the morning. What is? I'm going to get the pizza.

And there's a Waymo behind me. And there's nobody in there, but there's a passenger. And it's a green light. I stay. And I just wanted to see how long the Waymo would honk. Oh, my God. You do exist. Oh my god, that was all the evidence.

That was all the evidence I needed. Oh my God, you are real. My God, everybody. Let's clap your hands. You ever thought about like, like, killing you? Yes. No, break checking, Waymo?

No, I've never thought about it. I did. You break check away. Yeah, you ever think about that? Like, how smart. I just said that I don't fucking think about it. You never driving? Yeah.

How you doing? How you doing, man? What's up, Jimmy? What's up? What's up? What's up? It's been, what, five years? It's been five years, man.

It's quite the upgrade. It's been a while. From the apartment over there. Whoa, wait, you haven't been here since the apartment? No, I haven't. He was here when we were in your condo for Mad TV days? No. Yeah, and was that five years ago?

It was like seven or eight? Eight years ago, oh my. Early, yeah, he was one of the first in the... How many times he did it one time? Yeah, you never called me back. I would have done it any time. I'm like, did I offend Bobby? I offend Bobby? We've been calling you every day.

Apparently we were calling Karani Chang. He saved a different line. It was John Cho. So where do you live now? I live in L.A. and Vegas, actually. Oh, good. Wait, you have a pad in Vegas as well? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love it there.

It's awesome. And also, L.A., I don't know. There's always a pressure when you come back. You're like, I got to do this. I got to answer this call. When you're in Vegas, it's just chill. You chill. You stay out of casinos. You do. I mean, I don't. Great restaurants, right? Yeah, I live close to Chinatown over there

and it's nice. Food is great. Japanese, Chinese, Korean, people, everything. Well, I don't like that. Why? I don't like in a Chinatown that they have all these other ones places.

Oh, you only want Chinese? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't like that at all. Yeah, why do you even say that? Don't let the other Asians in. That's not it. Have your own town. Do you get offended when you see a Chinese?

I'll go to Japan town. I'll go to Japan town. I'll go to Japan. Yeah, do you get offended of Chinese? restaurants in Korea Town. Well, I like Korean Chinese restaurants. There's a place called

Young King on Olympic. Oh, my, was that us? 2017. Oh, my God. Before the stadium rise. My outfit was atrocious. God. I don't wear glasses anymore.

You look the same, though. You haven't aged dogs. Yeah. Thanks, man. You're just more successful now. Glasses. I can afford my eye surgery. You know, that was huge.

I mean, you were doing great, but now it's a completely different level. It's been fun, man. It's been fun. It hasn't been stressful? A little bit, but generally, I would say, like... You have little fingers. Anyway, go ahead.

Sorry, my mom. ADHD? ADHD? I have ADHD. Sorry. I think I find acting very stressful. Big or small rules, because you put it on,

TV or movies and you see it forever. And it's not always the material connect with it and you work so long. But standup doesn't matter how busy my stand-up schedule is. They're like, man, it must be crazy. I find that great. That's my thing. That's fine. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. You have no control when you're doing television

film. Yeah, and there's so many moving parts that hours are so long. Stand-up, we have the best jobs in the world, man. An hour or night. It is the best job in the world. You know what? I think you're right. Yeah. It has to be. It has to be the best job in the world.

Yeah. Especially entertainment. I mean, have you worked at the movie TV, whether you're in the crew behind the camera, a director, or man, just the hours, the sheer hours and the grind, it's tough, man. Oh, you're just there all day long. And they don't even really, sometimes they don't even use you. Have you ever had that happen?

Yeah, yeah. You have? Yeah, you're sitting your trailer for like five hours. Five, yeah. Or even longer. Yeah. I call that nap time. I always nap.

You nap trap? You nap trap? A nap trap? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Do you know this? I don't think we met. How's doing? But have you heard of this person?

This creature? Should I have? No, no, no, no, no. No one knows. Oh, okay, okay, okay. No one needs to know. You might know my best friend. Cool.

Ralph Barbrosa. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. Did he really? Yeah. I don't think so. Yeah. I don't think so.

Yeah, yeah. He knows Ralph. No, no, no, I know. But honestly, did Ralph really say what's up? Yes. I don't know. People say that? I don't believe it.

No, no. But also, that's a weird thing to do. And also, they do it in Chinese culture. It's like, hey, when you see an uncle tell him I said hi. Oh, like, you know, and then everybody say what's up. But then now the pressure's on you to say what's up. Yeah. But I don't believe.

Just text me. I don't believe that that happened. He's here and, yo. No, I'll ask. Ralph. Ralph, Bobby Lee. Yeah. Ralph, it's Bobby.

Hi, Bobby. How are you doing? Do you know who our guests here on Tiger Belly is? No, sir. Exactly. No, no, no, no. Hi, no, hi, hey. Hi, wait, hey, hi, wait.

No, no, no, no. I told you. Right hand it. Hang it up. Hang it up. Hang it up. Hang it up. That's it.

What the fuck was that? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yes, yes. This is what I'm talking about, Jimmy. Right? No, no. It was a lot.

It was a full-blown line. No. And Bobby, why'd you go into a Spanish accent? Yeah. When you, when you, when you, it's. I cater to my friends. No, no. I get it.

Sometimes I do that with my, like, people around me too. If I call Lisa Gilroy, I'm like, what's up, girl? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Love Lisa Gilroy. Shout out to Lisa Gilroy. Yeah, he says, she says hi. I'm sure. I'm sure.

I'm sure. Call Lisa. Call Lisa right now. Call Lisa, right now. Yeah, so we, Jimmy and I caught you in a lie. No, I, look, he's a busy man. You know that too. See, see, that's when you know they lie in.

No. When they talk about it, you know he busy. You know he's busy. You know he's busy. Yeah. We're all busy. He's busier. Than me?

No. He's busier about the both of us. Well, he knows. He's just stop. Just stop. He's busy then. Yeah, yeah. So he doesn't.

It's all right. We just prove he doesn't say. Okay, we're at how you. We're at an Addison improv. He had shows. Addison improv. We did four shows. I said, oh, I'm going to Tiger Bread in next week.

I'm doing Jimmy O. Ching. Oh, yeah. Tell me what I said. Chang, I'll take it. This whole thing is going down. It's all fake. It's fine. You just said hi to the wrong guy.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Jimio Cheng's here next week. Yeah. Yeah. Here's your phone back, but don't call Ralph back, okay? He's worried now. Yeah.

No, he's not worried now. Just text him or something. But I apologize for that, Jimmy O'Chang. Yeah, it's going to be your new stage there. I apologize. It's fine. It's fine. Yeah.

Seeing someone new? No, no, no, no, single, single. Yeah, yeah. But I'm taking it slow, man. Take it slow. Hey, how's it going? Remember, Kalila? Hey, Kalila, how's it going?

Good, how are you? Of course I remember. You look coolest. I can curse, right? Very Olympics, right? Yeah, very, very winter Olympics. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What are you, a snowboarder?

Oh, is that what's going on? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Placing Lindsey Vaughn? I saw, she took a big crack. Oh, that was tough to watch. Tragic. Tragic. What do you think about Jake Paul's?

reaction to his wife winning Who is his wife's an Olympic? He won't, yes, she won gold. I think generally we should just stop talking about Jake Paul. I know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do any of you guys think you'd be good at any winter sports? Oh my God, so many of them.

Like what? Curling? Okay, yeah, yeah, I can see it. Have you seen me do this? I've seen you do that in that position. Yeah, yeah. I mean, because I practice, but people think I'm gay, right? But I'm practiced curling.

Oh. With a penis in your hands. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, I'm constantly doing this. Very large two-hand penis. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, you got to find those. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And I practice, I'm like, are you gay? I go, no, I'm a curler. Stop looking at me. Can I practice on your penis? Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's two people that do that sport. Do you know that sport, Jaime? Curling?

Yeah. Okay, what is it? The little Canadian thing with a tube, like a broom. It's a tube. Yes, exactly. We'll take it. Yeah, we'll take it. It's a sphere.

It's a sphere. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, they got it making it into the... What is the criteria for you to be good at curling? You have to have good eyes steady. You have to have a strong core for sweeping. I feel like it's similar to golf. It's not...

It's really the opposite of golf. No, I think it's still precision. Well, but golf, if you're tall and if you have a muscular, like, back and hip, like, that's really helpful. Yeah. Like, this, where's the talent and where's the muscles? Like, do you need really strong hands? I'll be the first to say, I don't think that I could sweep in that speed for that long. Yeah, but you're a good pusher probably.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that I could do. But the pusher has to, they act as a coach. Maybe, oh, yeah, yeah, right, right, right, right, right, right, downward, downward, like, right. Yeah, what about, the spotter? The spotter, yeah. What about Bob sled, either of you? Amen. You need to be able to run fast.

Remember when Lolo Jones tried to go. bob sledding? She did, yeah. Didn't work out. Why? He was a track star, right? Yeah, the run fast? You had to be the one. You gotta like run and then jump into the sled. Oh, I would miss it entirely, I think. Yeah. Yeah, me wow. I tried to not

do any winter sports. I was just in Park City. Everybody's like, oh, skiing. I'm zero interest. Like, why would you go out there? It's cold, it's wet. It's just terrible. Yeah. Just let me stay on flat ground. That's how I like my women. On the flat ground. Cold and wet.

And flat ground, on flat ground. No, that sounds crazy. Yeah, that one I like. But you know what I love the best, Jimmy? Is the figure skating. Yeah. Oh, yeah, that's cool. Artistic?

It's very artistic. And Asian people excel. They really do excel with the emotions too. And they're very clinical, you know? The Filipinos are good. Yeah. Yeah. Why you got to always try to take a jab?

Why you always got to say? I know, you're right. That's mean. That's mean. That's mean. Do we do Winter Olympics? We don't. Yeah, we do summer. Because where do we train?

Yeah, yeah. We should add some sports that you'd be good at then. It's just not for us, K. Like, we have good boxers. Vine swinging in the cold. That's so racist. No, we gotta give it in. No, no, no.

People need to expose him. No, don't expose me. I'm very, very right. Jimmy's like, I want to leave it. I don't know, it's fine. I'm just like watching an episode. Speaking of the Philippines, not to put you on the spot, but my friend has been begging for you to perform there for like a long time. The Philippines wants you, dude.

It's great. Yeah. I would love to go. My tour this year started off just like 20 cities in America and I keep adding stuff. And I'm like, man, I'm so dumb having never done Asia. So I went to Hong Kong first. That's my hometown. It went crazy over there.

I ended up shooting my special there. Wow. And then. You shot it in Hong Kong? That's cool. I wasn't planning on it. How many people? It was the arena there.

It's 8,000 people. I sold out five shows. Oh, my God. I could have sold more, but like the tickets were going like seconds. It was, I've never experienced anything like that. Oh, my God. And I mean, because that's my hometown. That's my people.

Yeah. And, man, all my childhood hero showed up and stuff like that. Which one, Jet Li? Dale Wong, Wang, Wang Jiwa. I don't know. And then I met Chaoian Fat separately. No. Oh, my Chow Yun Fat fan!

Yeah, huge fan, huge fan. I met like everybody there that I grew up watching. Did you come backstage? Charn Fat wasn't backstage, but Dale was there. And many, many people. And it was just crazy. I'm like, I can't recreate this, you know? And it was kind of spectacular.

I'm like, so I just had 10 cameras. My Hong Kong people shot it. And now I'm just cutting it together myself. Wow. Yeah, yeah. So I was like, let's do that. Because originally I planned on doing it in Seattle. Yeah.

But then I'm like, Seattle is awesome. Maybe my next one. you know, I'll do a Netflix one for Seattle, but this one I have to, I have to do it for like my people, my town. I feel like that's the right move. Yeah. And also just Asia in general,

they're so just like hungry and ready for like stand up in a way that's more like rabid. It was wild. And I was like, man, I'm so stupid. So I did Hong Kong, I did Macau. I did Tokyo. I've done the, it was the biggest standup show in Tokyo ever.

Yeah. And the love I got there was so cool. And then so like this tour is winding down. So the next tour, I got Philippines, I got Korea, I want to go to Thailand, many cities. And I'm like, man, I would rather hit that than, say, another American city, you know? Yeah, I mean, those are your people, too. I know.

And that's what I'm saying. I was dumb, right? Because you see my crowd, it's, even in New York, it's like, say, 70% Asian. But if you go to Asia, everybody's Asian. There's so many tickets to be sold. Yeah, yeah, there's so many. And I feel like I'm really serving my people because they're underserved. Like, Hong Kong don't really.

really have a new big comedian and Tokyo don't really get big comedians, you know, especially ones that speak English. So it was, it was pretty cool to go to go back there. So when you do Tokyo, are you scared that they're not going to get your jokes or no? I mean, they know when they buy the tickets. You know, it's in English. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I have some Japanese material. They know. Like in Hong Kong, everybody's asking, it in Cantonese, is it in English? I'm like, I'm an English-speaking comedian, but I added like about 20% Cantonese in there. So that's in the special, too.

Yeah. Well, when we played London, Andrew and I, you guys sold, you sold more tickets than the both of us. Did I? At the 02? I did the Wembley, yeah. Yeah, the Wembley thing. Yeah, it was cool. I didn't expect it. Yeah, it was my first time there, too.

I was backstays and go, yeah, Jimmy did better. No. Yeah, yeah, we were like, good for you. I was so proud of you. That was amazing. Thank you. You're blown up all over now. It's kind of crazy.

Yeah. And honestly, it's, it's... I do El Paso. 200 seats. Pretty good for me. But both of you. Both of you would absolutely crush in Manila. Bobby, you love the Philippines.

Have you done it? There's no proof that I'm going to sell tickets there. I'm not like him. He's an international star. I know Jim is like sell out multiple. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, you'll crush it, Bobby. Yeah, he will.

In a different venue probably. No, but the Philippines is so has your back. Wait until my special comes out. Okay. And then see if I, you know, and then we'll see what happens. Because I've never done a special. Yeah. I just did one.

Yeah. How was that? It was fun. So get that out there. You know what I mean? If the people are like, oh, we like it. So stressed. Why are you so stressed?

I don't know. I'm on the Lexapro's kicking it. Oh, okay. It makes me mad. I'm also applying pressure. Oh. Yeah, he doesn't like that. What do you mean?

I'd be a, I would be a bad hostage. I'd give away all the secrets. I think. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The government's going to do this and this. Yeah, big. They're going to come. Cool.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not good at it. If you're both. That's me. If you're both. me.

Who shares location? I don't share with anyone. No, is that dangerous? Should I? I think we won, at least one person. Yeah. I feel like dudes don't really do that. I don't do that.

We have to be. Yeah, girls are very good. Jimmy and I have a motto. If you're gone, you're gone. Am I not right or no? You guys should share location. Yeah, yeah. I would love to see your location.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But yeah, if you're gone and gone, I don't think anyone cares enough where I'm at. Oh, you're so dramatic. I hate when you do this. You're like fishing for her. Yeah, I want people to go, no. Who's going to be at my funeral?

Where is everybody? I go, you're supposed to go, no. No, Bobby, come on. Bobby, come on. I'll take your location. It's too late. You're the type of guy who would have a live funeral. Like, you need to hear everyone's eulogy about you while you're still alive.

So you're going to be like, I'm asking. Yes, I totally. We should all do that. Thank you, Jimmy. We should all fake our own death. Yeah. See how much we're loving. Yeah.

Don't come. Like, Seinfeld, don't come through. Like, if I'm dead, I wouldn't even know. Yeah. I don't even know, by the way. Ralph Barbosa, don't come through when I'm dead. I wouldn't even know. Yeah.

I mean, I would fake my own death. Mm-hmm. And then, like, live my, but people, but I want to hear what people have to say. Mm-hmm. So, oh, my God. My bad. What was that? How would you fake your death?

Death. Excuse me say it again? Like what would you do? Like oh yeah, that's how he died. Yeah, public car accident or something. Oh, that's hard to fake. It is? Yeah, you'd have to police report.

What's easiest to think? Disappearance? Yeah, disappearance. Yeah, disappearance, kidnapping. It was frozen in the tundra. Oh, yeah, he went there. Avalanche drowning, you know, you can go to like, whatever, you climb, you know, kill him and draw and then you died or something.

But also, you can have, like, a manic, or like, you know what I mean? like a wax version of me in ice and take photos of it or bring it to the funeral. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like this and then I'll hear what people say and they'll pop out and go, you're a bastard man. You know what I mean?

You didn't really love me? You know what I mean? Like we were never friends. We were never friends or something. You know what I mean? But how would you come back from your death? How would you explain that? Oh, I would tell everyone, I lied. I lied. This is all Because I wanted to see what you guys had to say. Some of them said good things.

Yeah, you're cool. You're cool. You're an asshole. Yeah, you're out. Yeah, you didn't right, you know. Yeah. What's wrong? What do you mean?

You're looking at me like I'm off a little bit. I am literally locked in to what you're saying. What's up with these glasses? It's Raybent. Thank you, Hyman. Great observation. What's up with these? I've been having horrible migraines and I need to like block off the light.

But thank you. Jaime. Thank you. Thank you. Blue hoodie. Wait, back to your special. Yeah, back to you. Oh, yeah, go, ask, ask.

I do want to talk about it. I did. I was like, so have you been editing it? You don't want to start. Oh, yeah, yeah, you have. Are you nervous? How do you feel? So this is what's going to happen, okay?

I'm letting them edit it so they can have a pass at it. Yes. And then I'm going to come in. Okay, great, great, right. Right, right. But you got to go and sit there for like a week, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I'm going to go in.

Why a week? You got to get into all the nooks and crannies. I've heard so many comics. The editing is so important. It is. Because the editors might not even be there at the show. Your director might not even feel the way you felt of like, oh man, that joke actually hit here. Oh.

Like, uh, should we switch shows here? So if you shoot, if you shoot, how many shows do you shoot for your special show? Usually two, but the Hong Kong one went, I'm shooting all five. All right. So do you watch all five? Yeah, I mean, I've been editing for months now. That one, that one's a beast. I think you're acting crazy.

It is. But I think I'm making improvements. There you go. Yeah. Yeah. Because what people perceive and what you perceive are two different things. Like sometimes it's like, you know, I won't, I'll think I didn't have a good set. And people go, no, you actually did have a good set. You know what I mean?

So how would you? I screen it for my friends sometimes. Oh, you screen it. For this one. The other two were pretty easy. Two shows, one show was better. And if I flubbed the line, you go to the other show. Come back.

Right? Yeah, yeah. Choose angles. Would you direct. Yeah. Do you ADR yours? No. Okay.

I want to. I really want to treat it like a movie in ADR. And I'm like, can I put in the, they wouldn't let me. They're like, that's never going to work. But people have done that with ADR? No. Oh, okay. I'm just one.

I think you could. Like, I've heard Eddie Murphy, was it raw? He shot one show or two shows, but then he shot when there's no audience, just a close-up of him. Just so they get that footage to cut around. Wow. Yeah. I don't know how that works because, I mean, for me, you feel the audience's energy. Yeah.

Even on a close. Do you want to direct that? I think so. I think it would be fun. but it has to be it has to be something I'm really into. But I love that idea. Like we're missing one like wing angle in the special. And I want to go back to Hong Kong and shoot it.

Oh my God. You don't see the audience in that. You know, I support this 100%. Yeah, that's where my head would go. Why not? No one's going to watch it go. Where's the wing shot? I would.

It doesn't matter. I would. I would. And it's the flow. They might laugh harder if there's a wing shot. I totally understand what you're saying. I would go through extremes too to get the perfect thing. Right, right, right.

Yeah, I can't get it because... No, no, I'm not saying go that crazy. I'm not saying go that crazy. You got to reshoot the whole thing. You're gonna freak me out right now. No, no, you're fine. You're Bobby, you're fine. I'm just gonna...

I'm just saying, I've heard comics, they don't even go into the edit room. They give notes and then they're out. And I'm like, come on, man. And they never see it until it comes out? Yeah, because I understand you're nervous about it. Yeah, yeah. You gotta go in.

Yeah, but I'm sure you... I'm too critical, though. That's the problem. That's good. How is that good? That's good. You gotta be critical to, like, improve, no? No, because I based it on like, you know, when we did it, I got offstage, I go, what happened?

And they're like, it was really good. I mean, I based it on other people watching it. Because I have, you know, I can't watch myself. What's wrong, George? No, no, I'm thinking. He has dysmorphia. Yeah, yeah, yeah, what? You have, like, the version of dysmorphia.

Stand-up dysmorphia. Oh, you stand-up dysmorphic. Where it's like he'll crush and he'll walk out of there being no one laughed. That's the, that's a-oh-he can't hear. You can hear it. You can feel the audience, right? Yeah, I felt it in my bones. Yeah, that's great.

So it's like, to me, to me, I have to trust that instinct. That's it, yeah. Like, I heard it, I felt it. I saw the people around me. Alex, you were there. Yeah. Right?

So it's like, um, already after it was done, the reason I got depressed afterwards is because in my mind, I was like, I should have done this. I should have done that. I want to rebuild a set. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I was thinking that.

Yeah. Yeah. What was the thing? coming out on stage, I did kind of the same thing over and over again, and I regret that I didn't have one where I just came out normal.

Yeah. You mean, I did this. It was a lot of power poses. He did a lot of this. Yeah, I was doing a lot of that. It's amazing. But I like when you do that. Yeah, maybe subconscious he did it

so the editor don't have a choice to use it. You know, actors do that, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you give me this, I'm like, no, I'm just going to keep doing this shit because I like it. Yeah. I mean, it's better than how you came out on stage on our live show, how you, like, rolled into?

See? What if you did that? So when I asked you, was that embarrassing that I did that? You're like, no, it was fine, and now you're saying that it was very weird. I thought it was funny. It just didn't get the pop, I think you thought it would. It was a death roll. Oh, alligator.

One I was rolling, I go, I'm not getting a pop. You just kept rolling, and then I stood up like this, and, you know. No cheers. And I'm like, I'm going to kill my show. It was like, so you lied. I personally thought it was funny. You put some fake cheer in there. It's fine.

Yeah, it was a live show, so I don't care about that. So ask me some more questions. Editing, let's move on from editing. Yeah. Where did you shoot it? San Diego. San Diego, Babboa? Yeah.

Beautiful. Great theater. Great theater. I did four shows there. Four shows. Do you feel in your bones like this is the show that is the show? Bones, are you the one that first brought up bones or am I the one? You said it.

Yeah, you did. Really? I'm trying to speak your language. Just mirroring you, dude. Oh, you are? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is there one show you're like, man, the first, I'm like, you're like, this is it. Yeah.

Did your bones feel it? Yeah, did my bones? Yeah. Do you get itchy bones? No. It's like you don't know where the itch is. Yes, I hate that. Right?

And you think it's in your bones. Yeah. Really? Yeah, yeah. Usually my it's on my skin. I mean, you know. You know normal itches? Yeah, I got normal it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, normally I have... Maybe you got psoriasis. No, normally I do have normal itches. I even can see a bump. I'll go, oh, that was a little... Can you look that up? You know, phantom itches.

Yeah, phantom itches. You never have a phantom itch. I thought that's for people that's missing a limb. Phantom limbs, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But I do know what you mean where you're like, I think that's it's it's, you go to scratch and it doesn't relieve it. It's like too deep.

It's too deep. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think we both have diabetes or something. Yeah, yeah. It's like... So it comes from amputation That's pretty common. Yeah. Multiple.

Huh. Anyway, let's go back to that. Nerve pain. So when I... Is there itching like... He's trying to go back to the spectrum? No, no, no, go ahead. No, go ahead.

Is there itching like... What itch? What? I told you about an inch? Oh my God. What the fuck is wrong right now. I thought she's talking about something else. No.

You think itching is like just in your head? head. Like, it's just not real. You know what I'm talking about? I know what you're talking about. You know, like, it's not really there. Vaguely, but let's move on. Okay, I'm just saying. Yeah, yeah, I know you were saying. No, like, you know what I'm saying, right? I don't. You know what I'm saying, Jimmy? Is he like your son? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Kind of. It's sort of like a big brother thing. Okay, okay. Yeah, yeah. So I, it's good, it's good. Yeah, anyway. Yeah, so I went, there's some shows where I thought that couldn't have gone better. Probably

one and four. One and four? Yeah. The second and third one is fine, you know, but so I wish I could have made some choices, you know, I also, I should have taken more risks. You know, that was another thing.

Like once you killed the first show, you're like, I should have tried some other shit. Yeah, yeah, this thing that, you know what I mean, that I have in my catalog, you know what I mean, that I, you know, but I wasn't intending it to be in it, but I should have just thrown it out there. Right, because how much material do you have after how many years now? Okay, Jimmy.

No, no, I'm saying. What are you doing, Jimmy? Is it honest? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a very good question. Honors, honors question. I'm so picky about my material that I only did like 38 minutes of material. Oh, wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And I did another 10 minutes of others, other things. Specialty. Specialty device stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. because for me it's like it has to go bam bam bam which is like a terrible way

to look at it and the next special it's gonna be completely different I'm gonna take my time more point of view whatever this is great so you are gonna do the next one yeah

it's awesome very exciting because in my mind it's like it's not that hard you know in my mind it's like oh my god

it's got to be this and that but then when I saw Chappelle's I mean the last one he just leaves so much room he's so comfortable with silence and not having laughs every fucking five, 10 seconds, right?

That it's like, to me, that's okay. That means that they're listening and he can really talk about how he feels about things. You know what? We've had this argument many times, not argument, discussion where it's like, you know what I mean? I think my joke writing,

Carlos Monsia fucked me out. Oh, how so? Because he's so as a kid. I used to watch him in rooms. You know what I mean? Just go bam, bam, bam, and crush? In my mind, I'm like, oh, it has to be like that. But that's great. I think that is what the audience want to see.

Crush, crush, crush. Yeah, but now with the whole Netflix thing, it becomes more storytelling. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It becomes more like one-man show. But both are valid, but I do think the audience want to see crush, crush, crush. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, because you want to crush, but it's like, so what else do I have? The clothing, maybe I should have thought more of it.

Yeah, it was fine. Did you think a lot about your clothing? Not really. The first special, I just dressed myself, and I was really comfortable. I did think about the lighting and the color that go with my clothing. And the second one, I hire a stylist,

and it's not so much me. But I have had people still till today. It's like, where'd you get that jacket? I want that jacket. I'm like, okay, whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And for Hong Kong, was it? The Hong Kong one.

The Hong Kong one. That's where you get a stylist? No, no, no. This is the third one. The third one. That one hasn't came out. But that one I've regret with my t-shirt. My t-shirt was too loose.

Like the collar was too. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, and I wasn't, yeah, that's the second one. That's the second one. This is the first one. Yeah, the first one. See, that's super simple. Oh, but I like that.

That's cute, right? It's just like Jimmy O. Yeah. And it kind of pops, like, within the color. Yeah. I do think that's it, though. It is, color is everything. I don't even think it's the style because, like, you just have to pick the correct color for you.

Yeah, so. That's cute, too, though. Yeah, so these two, I planned everything and I worked my director. Shout out to Marcus Rayboy. But the Hong Kong one, I just shot in on a limb. There were some great camera work by the Hong Kong team, but then. There's no DP there There's the you know the lighting's not perfect

So there's a lot of imperfection But it's more like a rock concert than anything So I took the whole hard drive home It's in a suitcase And I've been editing it and edit bay with a Marcus It's a Chinese thing The way you're doing it I well yeah

It's a it's a hard special to cut this one Who's our favorite director from Hong Kong Bobby Wong Carwai Oh he's awesome man What? He knows now Yeah one carway is my favorite And I've been trying to get you all

to get into him. I'm going to hurt him so bad, right now, Jimmy. Some people aren't open to, like, real pure art. You like Wang Karwai? Yeah, yeah. What a math. For 10, for an entire decade. I've been trying to introduce him to In the Mood for Love, which was like standard.

And then Chunking Express, fallen angels, and he was just like, nah, nah, nah, I don't want, but he calls himself like a cinephile. But I'm like, how do you not know Wang Karai if you call yourself a sinophile? after we broke up, he texts me, he was like, you should watch in the mood for love. You forgot she was the one I told you. And I was like, who introduced you to that?

And he had watched it with, I think, a girl you were dating. A hinge date. Hey, that's a deal closer. In the Move for Love, that's a deal closer. She Asian? No, a white girl. Yeah.

I think when a white girl pushes Asian shit, then I'm more. You got to listen. I have to listen. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She told you about in the movie I honestly forgot that you even said it. I'm so mad.

I'm so mad. I think she did. We talked to. So I forgot. So when this white girl was like in the before in my mind, it's like, that doesn't sound familiar. So I'm like, the white girl also told you,

you're saying. Yeah, this is years after, you know, we had broken up. Right, right, right. She's out of my house. Yeah.

You know what I'm in bed. Let's watch a movie. Like you didn't suggest it. The white girl suggested it. You know, she suggested it. Yeah. And I'm like, you're fucking.

You're fucking. Like, if a white girl's like on a date. If she chooses that movie, that's an in for sure. 100%. That is such like a slow, romantic, beautiful movie. It's beautiful. I mean, I just don't like the way it ends. You know what I mean?

I don't want to give it away, but it's like I want them to... Yeah, of course. You know what I mean? But I think this is cool too. Yeah. You know what I mean? It's love that doesn't actually happen. The feelings are there and they do love each other, but they can't for some reason.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Beautiful. I think that's what I want maybe. That's what, I mean, how old are you now? 38. Oh, you're so young.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But do you want forever love this like this? I think so. I'm starting to date more seriously now. You know, I give myself maybe in like two years. And then I think I'm ready to. Whoa. Yeah.

Yeah. You think Asian or why? What do you think, I do think Asian now. You know, I've dated girls of every ethnicity. Yeah. I haven't dated a half Asian girl just as a transition, you know. But. I do think culturally it's very important to share the same cultural values.

Speaking of the same language, it's very important to me. My kids would speak the same language, then communicating my parents better. So, yeah, I'm especially this, so this last year, 2025, when I went back to Hong Kong, that was my first time going back in 15 years. Wow. So that was how I got in touch, you know. And I stayed there for like two months, and it just felt like I filled this void in my heart that I've been avoiding for a long time.

And I think that speaks to the dating part of it too, you know, because I was trying to assimilate to be American. But then when I went back, I'm like, man, I've been missing this part of my life. And this is who I was and still who I am and who I want to be. Yeah, there is a comfort there, no? Yeah. Yeah. I think there's something also really special about like the 1.5 generation like you,

Ronnie Chang or even like Zhao Ying or even Andrea Jin, right, where it's like you come to America at a little bit of an old, a little bit later. in your life, there is that feeling of like you understand both places so, like, intimately. Yeah. And when you go home, you're like, oh, fuck, like, I tried a little too hard to assimilate. 100%. Right. And you feel that with every little thing.

Like, in American dating, it's so different than Asia dating. Yeah. I don't know. So when I came, first came to America, I was 13, right? I didn't know. I thought I would date to get married when I turned six. 18, whatever, right? But then when I watched

American pie, they were like, you gotta get laid on prom. You know, average age, you get lay first, and then you go to college, frat boy party. You know, and I was like, oh my God, I'm such a loser. I got to get behind this, you know? So then I started like kind of that, you know, getting into that, I'm like, how do I, you know, like young Jimmy's like how to hookup culture,

like how do I navigate that? And then the dating, even is a... And I find it was harder for a little age? Like, you're... 100%, dude. It's so much harder. I didn't get any. Any action.

Me either, me either. Until I started doing stand-down. Me-Doo-Me-to! Yeah, exactly. That was our savings. That's the whole reason why I'm doing it. Yeah. Let's be honest.

If I was tall and white, I would have never done stand- I would have never done it. You know? I'd be like, welcome to Kinkgo. You want... That'd be me. And especially that time when I was... You want dry paper?

I don't know what they sell there, but... Like 20 years ago? Like Asian wasn't cool yet, you know? Yeah, we were fobs. So you came here right around the same time I did. Yeah. I was a fob. Even the Filipinos rejected me.

Like your accent's a little bit too hard on the consonants. Yo, I remember Korean kids in my school in L.A. rejected me. They're like, hey, China boy, what's up? Oh, they called you that. Yeah, because I was like, I was like, okay, these are the only Asians in my school. Let me go hang out with them. And then they, I mean, they became my friends eventually, but they made fun of me because I was so foreign.

They probably called Jimmy O. Chang. Yeah. Oh. Wait, was like, was it different? How was it like in Hong Kong? Like in the Philippines, the courtship, it has levels instead. So I'm just learning this, right? So, like, you know, you can talk to someone in Asia,

where is it, Hong Kong, like, whatever, right? For weeks, for months, you go on dates and you don't do nothing, right? Like, you don't make out. You don't even do nothing. Like, it's not, you don't lead with, because here in America, after like three dates or whatever, say you hook up, you have sex, you know, and then you have this three-month period of deciding, are we exclusive now?

Are we boyfriend, girlfriend? Everything, it's like backwards. So, okay, I'm glad you brought this up. That's why situation ships happen. So much more often here where it's still. And then people get hurt. And it's more clear like cut and dry over there. It's like because you follow these steps and these rules,

there's kind of less confusion about where are we at. But you know what's crazy? Because I'm so Americanized. I got confused. Like I'll hang out with a girl. We obviously are like liking each other. But then we haven't made out. Haven't had that physical like assurance.

And I'm like, how do I know she likes me? What if I'm friends owned? What if I'm a loser? But then they're like, no, no. Like, I was talking to a female friend of mine, and then she was like, no, like, what do you mean? You don't need sex to know if someone likes you. Is she hitting you up all the time?

Yeah. Are you guys, like, having a good time going out? Yeah. And is she making moves to try to hang out with you again? You know what I mean? Because I dated a girl here, like three or four days. Chinese girl from China. And I went in for the fourth date.

I kind of went in for. a kiss and she was like weirded up by it. Yeah. You know what I mean? And in my mind I was like oh she doesn't like me. You're done yeah but I think I fucked up then. It was because in the culture you're saying that like you know mean courting. What a lot of courting? Yeah. A lot of courting. Yeah. A lot of cordial really is like a long drawn out process. I kind of like that. It's that's how it's supposed to be.

That's how it's supposed to be. And it also just feels so much safer for me even like like a physical sense like an emotional sense where it's like all right there's a real pursuing and he's pursuing because, you know, four or five months in and, you know, he likes me as a person, right? But also, I think there's also just like... Four or five months? But in the Philippines, it's different.

Okay, our thing is like you also have to Harana. Harana is like you actually have to do a public display of, like, a serenade or a public display of like... Before anything. You have to make an announcement. It's like a bird's a paradise. Yes, there has to be... Right, yes.

You do that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But, like, back in the day, they used to, like, sing underneath like your window so like if it's not Bobby Lee do it yeah okay yeah but like look it up guild like the the steps of quarks then I ask you that can I ask you guys this though how do you know when your friend zone though

built built built it's it's 2026 and if you're still paying rent without built it's time for a change built is spelled B ILT by the way built is the loyalty program for renters that reward you for your biggest monthly expenses, rent. I don't like paying rent, guys. And I bet you you don't either. But Built makes it feel a little bit better.

Built is the loyalty program for renters that reward you monthly with points and exclusive benefits in your neighborhood. Let me explain, ladies and gentlemen, okay? With Bill, every rent payment earns you points that can be used toward flights, hotels, lift rides, Amazon.com purchases, and so, so much, so much more. Okay.

Personally, I'd redeem my points for, you know what I mean, workout. Yeah. Beanie. And beanies. Any of these right here? Yeah, yeah.

Lift rides, for sure. Gift cards, I do that. And, you know, my select restaurants that I really enjoy. Guys, it's simple. Pay rent is better with Bill. and now owning a home can be better with Bill to earn rewards and get something back wherever you live, George and Gilbert, who pay mortgages.

You have a mortgage, you have rent, use it. Can I ask you guys this, though? How do you know when you're friend zone, though?

No, she says friends. There's no confusion because. Because if you're court that long. That's what I'm trying to. Okay. I want to ask this. I want to know. Can I tell you the first step in courtship in the Philippines is asking if I can court you.

It's not immediate courtship. So if I say, Bobby, I'm really interested. Can I court you? And then you say yes, then it's like there's a mutual interest here. And then we can proceed. Because if you're like, nope, I don't want you to court me. You're done. Already friend zone.

There's not even going to be. But in America, right? women use guys for meals, right, and in different things, right? So if they said, I'm gonna, can we court, right? You know, okay, we have an understanding. Six months later, right? You spent your $80,000 deep, right? First of all, $80,000.

80,000 in six months? Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's basically a Gucci store. Yeah. And then she's basically like, yeah, I just want to be friends. But I feel like guys. That's not I'm friends.

You just got pleasure. How do you know if you're game played? Friend Zone is different. Because you're spending $80,000. Oh, is that what it is? But also, like, that's on you. You love to spend $80,000 and blow your money and show her. Yes, I don't.

No, I don't. No, I don't. That's what you do? You just said 80,000. It was hypothetical. Oh, sure. Hyperbole. Yeah, perpally.

Yeah, yeah. 60,000. Yes, whatever. But you know, Papa likes to flex that he's got money. But how do you know, though? that it really is a courtship, even though she said, are we court? You know what I mean?

How do we know? Maybe there's an honesty. Yeah, I think it's a risk still. Of course there's going to be a risk. If you say you court me, you want to court me. And I say, yeah, because I'm like, oh, he's attractive.

And then there's, that's why it's a five-step program. The next is you have to announce interest. And you're not even official yet. The third step is. What is announcing interest? Like, I like, can I court you? Yeah.

And then a couple days in, you're like, I like you. It's not a couple days. It's going to probably be a couple of, And you make an hour like, here, here, here, here. Yes, yes, yes. Everyone gather. So after you make Liga, which is the actual courting somebody, right? What is courting, by the way?

Like, is it going out on dates, having dinner? Thank you, Jimmy. Justures of, like, sweetness and, like, flowers and like. But you don't touch her. How many, no touch? You don't touch her. Okay. Have a public, you know what I mean?

Affection, like, you know, like holding their hand. Holding hands, I think it's okay. Yeah. Okay. Okay. So when do we, when does Jimmy and I know when the courtship part is over? If we're, Give me the signs.

Okay. So there is always going to be a point where you have the conversation. Like over here in America, everyone avoids the conversation. Are we? Aren't we, right? Where are we? Everyone's like, I'm not ready. Whatever.

You have sex first and then you decide six months later. Like that's a conversation. Once you say yes, you can court me, you are committing to that conversation down the line of we have to come back together and. and figure out if you're going to be my joa or not, my boyfriend or not. But are you expected only court one person and is the girl only being courted by one person? Yes. Oh, okay.

You have to be very respectful in your court. Whoa. Because further down the line, you also have to let her parents know that you're courting her. Whoa. Whoa, dude. Yeah. So it's all backwards because you don't meet the parents until like a year, two years in here. Yeah.

Okay. Okay. Can I ask you some other questions if I may? Mm-hmm. Okay. So, let's say the court is, so when the courtship is over, is it marriage and then? No, marriage is like, you know, you can, that's a negotiation you can make out of the road. You're just boyfriend and girlfriend, right. But to get there is like, I think it just eliminates confusion, you guys.

I think America has it all wrong. That's why everyone's stuck in fucked up situation. I totally agree. I think it takes the mystery away to. Everyone's confused here. Everything happens at lightning speed and everyone wants the dopamine hit. You don't even know if you like hanging out that person without like outside of say hook it up. Yeah.

Here in America. I think you I think you're on to something here. So when your boyfriend after I don't know how many months of course should we go through five steps. Then the end of five step is boyfriend girlfriend. Yeah. You're Joa. Like we are together. And then you can have sex.

You can do whatever you want. If you, you know, you can even have sex probably. What did you say? What is it? Go ahead. Go ahead. What you said? I just said anal.

bro what the you go from courtship straight to an anal he doesn't want to kiss yeah he's hilarious man yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah so you will go straight to anal without kissing and stuff like that not even

that's where your mind was that's where your mind was that well she said anything and he had sex I understand I understand but not everyone follows these rules back home I'm just saying this is that usually. Yeah, there is hookup culture, but I think it's more confusing over here for sure. That's also another question. It's like still we live in a modern, you know, Philippines who live in modern Hong Kong, Japan.

There are people to hook up. There are people that are into old school courtship. How do you know who's who? Yeah. But then I guess you can kind of vibe it out, you know. Yeah. I think that you're onto something because it's like I'm stuck in a lot of relationships where you meet somebody three days that you're having sex.

it's a lot of, a lot of sex, right? And then six months down the row, you're like, how much, bro? How much sex you got? How much sex? How much you fucking? Like, you know, three times a day, like, what are we talking about? Hey, how much you curling? Yeah, yeah, I'm curling maybe three or four times a week.

Wow. Yeah, that's, yeah. Three or four times a week. And then it's like six months later, you're 80 grand in debt. Yeah, yeah. So many meals. God, 80 grand, that's a lot. You're right?

And then you realize, you. You don't even like this person. So I think reverse engineering it, right? Maybe the right. But I like the announcing intention early. Yeah. I don't think necessarily, I don't know, I don't know Hong Kong culture, like the modern culture as well.

But I'm not sure if you do that super early. I don't know. So when you were in Hong Kong for two months, shooting your special this and that, were you courting anybody there? I went out. Like, I just checked it out to see what's going on. But also, it's like, Hong Kong is such a small city state, you know? It's seven million people.

like Manhattan, New York. Whatever I do could end up in the newspaper. If I walk around, it could be, you know, pictured. So I couldn't, like, go to a club. Neither did I want to. Oh, right, right, right. There's no strip clubs out there, right? No, I don't think so.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's no way. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That'd be crazy. Yeah. So you checked out. I checked it. I just want to get a vibe. And sometimes I would talk to a girl from Japan, from Hong Kong,

just to ask, like, not even, like, trying to hit on her. Like, I'm very much, like, I don't know. Maybe I'm just old and like chill now. You're inquisitive. Yeah, I would go ask a stripper what's going on and not trying to hit on her. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, or I'll go ask a nice girl what's going on and not try to hit on her.

And then we'll see what happens. I just don't want to like mess around waste time anymore, you know. Yeah, I think you both are onto something that dopamine hits is what we're, you know, I think that's the problem. I'm looking for a feeling of quick fix for sure. And a relationship isn't a quick fix. Yeah, top of the muffin only. That's what you eat and chase. What top of the what?

Top of the muffin. Yeah, yeah. The crispy part on the top. I love the crispy part, though. It's burnt, too. Sometimes. Sometimes. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah. Wow. How long would you wait until the sexual, would you wait three years? Well, three years seems like a lot. I'm a little older. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's like, I don't mind waiting anymore.

Yeah, I don't really care. But what's the time, though? I mean, you can't do three, you know? Look, I think if there's progress, it's fine, you know? Oh, I, well, I don't. Like four months in, we kissed. Yeah. Yeah, there's signs.

There's signs. There's progress. I'm going the right way. I'm not just spending 80 grand. Yeah. I'm not just like bleeding out. There's a difference here. You got a slow plate.

Apparently all the younger kids are about sides now. Have you heard this? Side piece. Nope. Not even that. Anal? Aetle, right? Just lots of antles.

Sides. So like basically taking it back to junior high and just doing side stuff, not intercourse, more like kissing, foreplay, dry humping, things except for interhaping. intercourse. It's kind of like to build the moment, you know, to build the thrill. Yeah. Yeah. I like the anticipation part of a lot of this, you know. I love the anticipation. Like I get nervous. I, you know, like,

I'm like, does she like me? I really like her, but I think there's a vibe. I like that. It's nerve-wracking. But isn't that still dopamine? The sides? No, the mystery part. Of course. Yeah, that's all still dopamine. But that love, that deep, the deep knowing of someone, like that's irreplaceable. me. But here's a little story I'd like to tell you. Everyone in the room. And it was something I witnessed.

So a long time ago, when I started doing comedy, I hung out with this girl. And she's very funny. I want to say her name. And very attractive. We never did anything. We were just friends. And then she met somebody many, many years ago. And she got out of the comedy business.

And she had children with this guy. Nice. And she was very much in love. And I just ran into her. I hadn't seen her many, many years. And I go, what's up? And you can tell something was up. She's like, I'm just stuck.

Like, what are you stuck in? She's like, I just, I'm so unhappy in my marriage, but I can't leave, you know. Because of the kids? Kids and the house, you know what I mean? And my kids were, there's another 10 years before they leave the house. You know what I mean?

And in my mind, I'm like, that just sounded like torture. You know, I don't want to be trapped in that situation. You know, I mean, and you know, and I know that people change in relationships and, um, I get, that's my biggest fear, man, is to be in a situation where I can't get out. Yeah. Well, I think that that's, you know, exclusive to Asia dating or America dating. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, you know, after a while, like, your marriage could just not work. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And there's no way to know and prep that. No. No. Yeah. There's really no way. There is no way. But there's also, I've also heard opposite examples.

Where someone has been on the road so long Next thing you know They're 45, they never really seriously dated They want kids but it's a little too late And they're super depressed Because they miss that time frame They wish they never toured that way I've heard no one

Yeah, yeah, yeah Wow So I'm in pain now anyway Yeah Yeah, yeah Yeah, I don't know what you're waiting for I think you're so ready for something great Yeah

That's true I have a show idea Jimmy and Bobby go to Asia to court Courtship. Courtship. Corship. Unscripted. Yeah.

Unscripted like a dating show. He's going to pull so much more than me. He's not about that. It's finding the one. It doesn't matter. You're going to get the one before my one. No, no, that's not it. Absolutely.

Can I coach you an Asian courtship? It's like the opposite of popping a balloon. That's like so quick. So like whatever. This is just courting. Yeah, yeah. Coach us now. All right.

All right. Coach us up. We've been in Hong. Does it have to be Hong Kong? No, no. anywhere in Asia. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. What? Glenn Dale? We're in Monterey Park. Yeah, Monterey Park. Yeah, yeah. Let's say, let's say in Japan.

Just because it's mutually Asian. Okay, so first off, I have two rules for the both of you. Number one, delete all your dating apps. I just did. Oh. I just did. Because I'm like, I'm going to take this seriously. Like, it gives you dopamine here to like talk, but it never works out.

It never works out. It's about Hokkien up and you know other people on 50 talking, 50 messages anyways. I deleted. And once you match, that's the hit, right? You don't care anymore after that. Once you get the match, you're like, okay, cool, I got the dopamine hit. Don't care to have the conversation. Okay, delete.

Okay, delete the maps. Okay. I'm not going to do it now because it's hypothetical. Second, you're going to both meet people in the wild, right? Oh, my God. In Japan? I don't know Japanese. It doesn't matter.

There's expats, dude. What? Number three rule, you are not allowed to tell anyone your profession and what you do for the first month. Whoa, wait a minute. I have no skills then. That's the only way I get laid. What are you talking about?

That's my thing. No, but what if they know who we are? Already. Okay, that's fine. They're not going to talk to me unless they know who I am. Like, I'm not saying I met her at a show, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

If we're just going for, for the sake of actually just coaching you to be good quarters, I would have you approach women who don't know who you are. In Japan, actually, most people would be possible. So that you can really practice skill of like, you know, because I feel like that is really important for you,

for either of you to feel like this person really likes me. Yes, yes, yes. It's never going to be about, like, how shiny you are as Jimmy. Forget it. And then, okay. And then do we ask them out on dinner and then, or do we announce like, hey, I'm feeling you right now. Can I court you?

Well, it depends. I know you right now. Can I cope? Yeah, yeah. The next thing is you're going to give... Actually, you know what? I never know what the correct answer is if you give your number

or if you ask for her number. I think you ask for her number. I see you ask. Can I give her a business card? No, no business card. Why? A black and white headshot. It won't say comedian.

Hi, Bobby Lee. Yeah. Yeah, but those are my three rules. Okay. That's, that's, we'll start there. And then we'll graduate onto, once you get past actually being able to ask, a girl and like garner her interest without all of that,

then, you know, we'll move forward from that. And we cannot have sex anyway. Yeah. No. Okay. And how long? A month. You can't tell him for a month.

One month. Yeah. And you just court her. You take her out on dates. What if Bobby got a side piece he's having sex with just to keep his mind on? Oh yeah. That's another thing. One at a time, no side pieces.

Yeah. I see. There you go. So Foufo is. I know you was going to ask about that. I'm still going to do it. A lie. I'm not.

I'm not doing it. Yeah. I mean, no side piece. I'm going to tell you, I'll be honest with you. Okay. I think that if me and Jimmy were in Japan, he would be courting first. I do believe that. Dan's kissing.

Yeah, I think four weeks later, I'd just be looking at you like, no courting that, you know what I mean? And then the show, things over. The show's over. The show's over. I don't believe that. I don't believe that at all. It's going to take me six months to court. No, but I think, like, that's a great thing about courtship.

It's like, people are dating you for you. It's not just like, you're like getting late or whatever. You know what I mean? But my assets, right, is that I'm, you know. That you're funny. I'm funny, yeah. That's not how does that's not to do with being a stand-up comment. Yeah, that's nothing to do with your profession.

You just are funny, Bobby. Yeah. And I have an IMDB. You've shown that? Oh, yeah. On dates? Yeah. What I've done.

Rule number four. No swing. I know. No. I've done animation, too. Well, but I think once you, if you do the courtship stuff, it kind of like, I think you're much more than that, Bobby. You're not just funny and rich or IMDB or whatever

But I think once you do the courtship You really get to know each other You're like man, I'm actually a good dude I'm actually different than that guy because of this It's not about getting laid Those are the assets for like You know, trying to sleep with some woman in Miami or something I think it's also going to eliminate this idea in your head

That your only value is your profession That's right And the only value is money, fame or like you know That's all shallow and it's not sustainable Okay Yeah Here's another thing I think. Maybe we have to lower our standards too.

No, I don't think so. No, have high standards. We were talking to? Higher standards. High standards for character. And you're attracted to who you're attracted to. You cannot, you know. But I would say, like, dig deep and really go for people with, like, character.

Yeah. Oh. Character. Which I think you do a good job with. I think that you do date hot girls, but you also, you date everyone. When in hot girls don't seem that important anymore if you really got to spend four months with this person. You know what I mean? Like, you got to look at her character, too.

Oh, I see. You know? Yeah, sometimes they're, and all the time the character is sexy. I like that line. You like that? Yeah. Sometimes to all the time. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You're right. What are some traits that I find sexy? What are some traits that you find sexy? Non-physical, you mean. Yeah, non-physical. Non-physical. I think if someone shares someone the same interests, you know, like just chill stuff, like gardening, cooking, or

a sense of humor. Yeah. Not just saying, like, they have to be super funny, but you understand humor. You can laugh at things together. Yeah. And, you know, this sounds super basic, but, like, kindness, honesty

and, like, stuff like that. Yeah. You know, like, are you going to argue with me about everything? Oh, I hate contrarians. Yeah. So exhausting. Or even it's like, okay, if you don't agree,

there's a way to talk about it, you know, can we just, you know? Yeah. Like that. Okay, so that. And family values? Family values. This is important.

Family. Yeah, yeah. You know? My thing is I like when they have, like, they're obsessed with a weird thing. That's really cute. Like, I like 17th century yo-yo's. You're like, what? You go to their house and they have every style and from every.

They're passionate. This one's from the Gilded Age. Like something that they geek out about. They geek out about it. They're super cute. Yeah, that's really cute. Yeah, yeah. Something that's passionate about.

Something smart. You got to be able to carry the conversation. Something. It doesn't have, not high IQ, but like, conversationally. Yeah. I like weird. rituals too. Oh. No. What does that mean? You don't... Like, rituals sound scary.

What? No, like a daily ritual, like a weird thing. OCD. Yeah, yeah. You know, I have to stick my toes in the swimming pool for five minutes, right, you know, every morning. Okay. Something cute like that. I'm looking for quirky, quirky, yeah. On the spectrum. I love rituals. Humiliation rituals.

Like a pentagram. It's so cute. Yeah, so cute. No. Or like, you know, I saw a TikTok where a girl wakes up every morning and she puts her butt hole to the sun and she needs that. Oh yeah, behole sunning? Yeah, that's probably good for you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wear some of a sunscreen though.

What? Put some sunscreen. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you have to put somewhere on the calamari. Yeah, yeah. So what else do I look for? Shared interest is good too. Like here's what I can't do when they have no passion. That I don't like.

Yeah. You know what I mean? And they, here's another thing is everything is typical, atypical. Like, I like Taylor Swift, you know what I mean? They got no personality. No personality. I mean? Yeah, at pumpkin spice. And they don't know what they want. Sometimes that's really hard. And I'm not there to try to figure it out with you. Yeah. And if all they want is a baby, that's also a red flag for me. All I want is babies. I get that now that I have one. I totally

get it. You do? Yes, because I used to be like, why would anyone just want a baby? And then you have a baby and you're like, why would anyone not want a baby? Right, right. Right, George? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Are you being real? I'm being so real. I feel like it's a trick. No.

Is it a trick? Listen, I'll respect to people who never want to have children. I totally get it. But once you have your own baby, you're like, I can't believe I was that person who never even cared for babies before. Like, I'm obsessed.

You are. Like true obsession. I get it. Well, you got a good one, that's why. No, it doesn't matter. Sometimes you don't get a good one. It's a sense of purpose, and it's the most.

You know, God-given purpose you could have more than money, more than anything. Yeah. You have to pad the walls because yours is a little, you know what I mean, nuts? Right? Even I would, like... You got to lock the knives in the house. Even those babies are cute.

Yeah. Oh, gosh. Yeah, I want a good one. I would say at my age, my life would make a lot more sense if I had a baby. All my friends got married, got babies. They hang out. Oh, yeah. You know, like, I got nobody to just, like, hang out.

Like, I'm still trying to, like, should I still try to go to this bar? You know, like, I got nobody Oh, I heard this bar is cool, but I ain't got nobody like hang out with. Yeah, yeah. I'm not going to hit up like, you know, a 22 year old dude. I just met at the improv.

Hey man, you want to go to the bar? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, the other night even this happened, I was at the comedy store. I was in the main room. I had already gone up. And I was walking out.

You know, the main room where you're like, I'm walking out, you know, the back row. And there was like a group of girls there from out of town. And they're like, sit with us. Right? So I sat down there in an empty CBCC that sat there And you were so funny

You know what I mean? All that stuff And like hey you want to hang out afterwards after the show's over I'm like yeah I'll meet you over here You know what I mean? The show's over right When they met me over there I was at home playing video games That's right that's like peace man don't let them disturb your peace I know but what I'm saying is I'm on like back in my 30s Yeah

I would have stayed and I would have you know I mean Taking the risk you know I mean But now it's like I can't even do that anymore Yeah you know yeah you know Yeah. It's like... Tiring? Like, tired?

What? Are you tired of it? I think it's like, if it's guaranteed smash, I would have stayed. Right. I'm not willing to like stick around. But also smashing doesn't mean that much to even more. Yeah, coach doesn't like to hear this. Yeah.

What's this? Oh, wow. Here we go. Courts. You have a gay couple? The Asian Burton Ernie. This show would be a hit in Japan. hand, like with the visual.

Like, it's kind of like, cute. Can we just try? Because I feel like this actually might be a go for the both of you. Let's get Howie Mandel on this. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

That's really cute. You like Howie Mandel? Yeah, I met him a couple times. It seemed nice. But Jimmy, have you ever watched Terrace House? Yes. Okay. So.

Yes. I love Terrace House. Me too. Obsessed, right? But you know how everything is like non-dramatic. It's just chill, but we're like locked in. Yes. I need this show to have that same kind of like.

All right, both of you pitched me Terrace House because I remember you used to watch it. All day. I didn't understand why people watch it. The pitch to me why Terrace House is good. You go. I'll go first. I'll say.

I'll chime in. Okay. So the concept of Terrace House is very much like the real world, except that things, they're not, it's not overproduced. There's six kids, are they six? I forget how many.

Six just live in a house. And then they go about their... They're very pretty Japanese people. They go about their regular. lives, they go about their regular jobs, and then the camera just captures their little interactions with each other. Sometimes they date each other, but it's a very quiet, non-dramatic show.

But you become so heavily invested because you learn about who they are, their dreams, their passions, why they're in that house, what they have to achieve before they leave the house. And nothing happens. It isn't like Bad Girls Club where people are beating the shit out of together. Jumping into hot tubs, fighting, fucking. None of that. There's no fucking.

They work jobs. They have real jobs. They go to school. Yes. And then I'm telling you, Bobby, you know, like in heated rivalry, just that the finger touching. Yeah. Okay. So in Terrace House, when two people, when two people kiss, it's like I'm a little teenager again.

Because it's like nothing happens. That's like season finale. Exactly. They like even have a little peck. Oh, the greatest thing is every 10 minutes. They cut to commentaries. That's where they're the best, the best commentary. They're so funny.

Oh, those. And then you really see the Japanese courtship happening. Like there will be like episode seven. Like there's only maybe 10 episodes. Episode seven or it's 20 episodes. Episode like 15, the guy knocks on the girl's door with a flower and be like, I am actually very interested in you. Would you be interested in actually going out with me?

You know? It's a complete opposite real world when they fuck in the hot tub. And then one of the episodes of one season, this guy takes this girl Senna, this gorgeous girl. He takes her to a church with like a big bouquet of, roses and he gets on his knees and he's like like date me and she just stands there and she's like nah and it is oh no yeah see heartbreaking but it's like he he goes through these extremes like that's courtship he got suited up he got the flowers he chose the church and it was hilarious it was hilarious

great content yeah and then and then two days later he hairy carried yeah but i really feel like you guys should do something like a dating show but with the same tone of terrace house okay yeah but the goal of everybody in the show is to find love. Yes. So that's the very deep. You know it's like very serious. They take it very seriously. It's not the surface level American game show. And when a girl checks out like in Terrace House and a new person comes in, knock on the door.

And you're like, oh, who is she? And you only see like this part of her hair at first. They never show the face. Who's Jimmy's next? Yeah. But then it's so polite, but then you start seeing some spark. Oh, she's spending a little more time with him. Yes. But like they're spending time, but she's not really filling him, you know? So let me ask you something.

Are they still doing the show? They had to stop for a little bit because one of the past members No, she sadly Anilived herself. She was getting a lot of hate from the fans And she was awesome. She was this wrestler girl. Oh, wow, I haven't know about that.

Yeah, it was so sad. I hate the internet. But this girl was incredible on the show. Oh, no. And so when did they end? A couple. And then, Tukui, one of the comments, I think he had tax fraud,

so there was issues. I do think Terrace House is the definition of Asian old school dating and then real world is the definition of American modern hookup culture. Oh, I see. I see. You know? And I think I want old school. I think so. I think as we get older.

I think there's something to it. And I do think even when we're in our 20s, you know, the old school would have been better. We just got tricked by the media, by everything, that by the MTV culture of it that we're like, no, man, you need to be a man. and go get laid, cool, you know, but who actually wants that? Yeah, because there's an, ultimately there's an emptiness that happens. What'd you say?

He just named another TV channel. But I want to hear, I like to hear everything Sequel reference. What did you say? Spike TV. I love Spike TV. Spike TV was sweet. It was the first like bro bro-y TV.

Oh, that's right. That was good reference. Yeah, I do remember. Oh, yeah. For man. Oh, yeah. I love Spotify. They had like robot fights.

Yeah. I think they aired like MFA. That's true. They had a, it was like bro, not even like hookup bro. Like just like bro. Like they had a slam ball. Do you guys remember that? When they had trampolines and you dunk the basketball, it's amazing.

How far do you do you think you get an American Ninja warrior? Oh, we didn't go try. My buddy's, uh, my buddy's an assistant director. Really? Yeah, we should go try it. That seems so hard. I, I wouldn't go far. Like all the grip strength stuff.

I can do all the quick, quick, like, jumpy stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, you show Bobby and Jimmy play slam ball. This is one of the date activities we're here. Yeah, yeah. That'd be fun. Playing slam ball. Yeah, yeah.

I mean, I think I'd really hurt myself, but that's a thing, huh? Sam Ma? Yeah, yeah. What's the matter? No, I'm still working on the show in my head. Yeah. You think it would work? Yeah, I think so.

Could you do this? Can you line it because we're doing a TV show? Can you line up people? That's what I was thinking too. I got a minute. If you line it up. Vet girls who literally do not know who the fuck you are. I think that would be a little hard, but I think we can find them.

Or you can, I guess we can set up like a bar situation or like willing participants and it's like a social mixer. Something like that. Like you set up a couple mixers. Yeah. But you can't let them know that we're filming a TV show where you're looking for love. But they have to be willing participants, yeah.

Yeah, that's true. I want to blur their face. Yeah. I just saw Bobby did that episode with the button. Oh, the button. Yeah. That was funny. You were really good.

Yeah. Oh, was it like popped a balloon type thing? It was kind of like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was fun to do, to watch and observe. You should do it. I was there. She was already there.

No, like she should do one for you. Oh, yeah. Oh, you do for other people. Yeah. Yeah. It's a good idea, I mean. I, here's the thing. I hate rejection when it comes to the opposite sex.

It hurts me. You know what I mean? And I have to get over that, I think. I'm 54. Will I ever get over it? No. I don't think anybody gets over. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. I think that's normal. Somebody go immediately do that in front of your face. Yeah. Like that, yeah. You know him? Oh, those guys remember that day? So you're doing it for other.

He's coaching them. That was coaching, yeah. You're coaching the girl or the guy? This guy doesn't need your coaching. Yeah But I mean look Like he's a very good looking guy But if and if he gets some like cool lines

And comebacks from a comedian That's actually the perfect combo Yeah I don't think I gave much help But he passed on her Anyone? Yeah he passed yeah No but you know Bobby had really good

Instinct he knew when someone was going to hit the button Before they hit the button Yeah yeah I couldn't know vibe He's actually better looking than any of these girls Yeah He's a very handsome guy And he's also cool.

He's got a Sung Kang kind of vibe to him. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He mean quiet Asian. Did you find anybody? What? Yeah, they got a couple matches. A couple matches, yeah. This kid, this kid was cute, too.

This kid was super cute. Yeah, look at this kid. This isn't, no, just Hollywood. Look how cute this guy. How come everybody's Asian? Oh, so it's Asian dudes dating white girls. Oh, oh, that's a thing. Or dating outside non-Korean.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they thought I would be the master of that, which is like. Let's call Bobby Lee, the master of dating. The master of white girls. This is a good show. I'm going to go home to watch this. This is good.

So do you have anything coming out? Are you working on anything? What's going on? So the special should come out soon. Well, okay, let's talk about Rock Springs first. My wife loved it. My wife loved it. Yeah, yeah.

Me, Benedict Juan, Kelly Marie Tran. It's a really cool movie. That's a horror film, but it also flashes back to 1885. And we're two Chinese miners. And it was based on a real story where they got massacred by these white people. Wow. Quite sadly, it's like a timely movie, you know.

But you know, with Sundance, I think you gotta sell it and then you gotta find distributors, so I don't know how it works. Is it, his production company made it? No, it's Macro, Macro made it. Oh, Macro did, yeah. They're awesome. I love that guy. Yeah, and then my Hong Kong comedy special.

Yeah. It's coming out March 20th in the theaters in Hong Kong. I haven't announced it yet. The theaters there. And then I'm going to find some theater distribution here. and then I will figure it out how to distribute it worldwide. I wish I had your ethic.

Oh, man, this is so much work. This is so much work. It's driving me crazy, actually. It would be so much easier if I just sold it to Hulu, Amazon, Netflix, this one. But then I'm like, this one is too special, meaningful for me,

especially for my people in Hong Kong. I was like, I got to do this myself. So you're going to do it, but you're not going to sell it to a streamer? Maybe on the secondary market. But I wanted to have that theatrical release. Wow. It's a huge, like, concert film.

I sing Cantonese in there. Wow. Do you get nervous doing these gigantic venues? This one I did because it was 20 minutes brand new like Cantonese material. There's Cantonese songs. Wait, wait, wait. You went up in front of all those people

and tried material you never tried before. Yeah, yeah. But I knew it was kind of gonna, I kind of knew it was gonna work. Because the structure of the joke is gonna work. But also, it's Cantonese, like, you know, they're gonna like it because there's a familiarity.

It's like, you know, the five minutes every comedian does it every city, Hawaii or whatever, and you talk about spam with Subi. And of course they're going to laugh. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Like, I see, I see. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You kind of know, do local references and you have an instinct about that. Yeah, yeah. And then so, do you, so you prefer stand-up over film and television. I think so. I think that, um, like I've always, because acting was always a challenge and I want to do what. I said so many goals. I try to prove myself as a dramatic actor. I've done a lot of that, but then now I'm like,

Man, why did I ever, like, I never quit stand-up, but why did I ever take a break from stand-up to try to act? This is what we do best. But the acting helped your stand-up. I think it made you super famous. Like on Silicon Valley, stuff like that. Yeah, also, I think Crazy Rich was huge. Yeah, yeah.

But, I mean, do you know how many things I do that you don't even remember or you never heard of? Yeah, I know everything. Easter Sunday? Oh, yeah. So that's the Hong Kong show. I popped up out of stage like, sigh. Oh, my God, dude.

Yeah. It's a whole thing. Like you guys just see it. That's why I want to... Zoom on Jimmy here. So hot. That is crazy, dude. Yeah.

That's Singapore. That's Singapore. Wow. This is Australia. This Sydney. Wow. It's, when you do big shows like that, do you stay in that town for a couple of days,

or do you go different cities? I try, but like Australia was like Sydney and then Melbourne. I did Radio City, which was so beautiful, so awesome. Yeah. But I had to do Atlanta like two days before. And then I had to fly back to Vegas for Super Bowl. I was like hosting a Super Bowl party.

So it's like a whole thing. It's like when we did Australia, it was so back to back. We weren't able to co and like enjoy. Oh, that sucks. Yeah. Yeah. When you do Manila, I implore you to leave a couple days afterwards to explore. That's what I want to do on this next time.

I want to plan it a little better, you know, more focused on the cities and then give myself more time. to kind of hang, you know. I think in about three or four years, we're going to do a mega Asian show. I've been wanting to do that. I think that would be great. I think, imagine. Like a king's a comedy thing.

Yeah, like five or six people maybe. Yeah. You, Koi, Allie. How great would that be? Yeah. That would be fun. That would be so fun. But who closes?

That's hard. I think you just draw. It doesn't matter. Oh, that's fun. What? Drawing straw. Well, every show can be different. Yeah.

Yeah. I'm not fine. following you guys. You host? I'll host the fucking... I'll host the fucking thing. Yeah, that would be fun too. Yeah.

Steve Harvey was one of the funniest parts of Kings of Comedy. Yeah. So a lot of the Hong Kong special, my mom and dad, were in three of the five shows. So a lot of the shots kind of pan back to them. Oh, cute.

Your dad's an actor. Yeah, sag after actor, dude. Wow. This is, did you help him get into the business? Yeah, he started, like, commercial acting, and then I wrote an episode of Space Force. Yeah. And he was opposite Steve Carrell. He was mostly opposite John Malkovich, actually.

Wow. He wasn't nervous. He crushed it. And John loves my dad. Like, he's the coolest guy. Yeah, yeah. And my dad's very cool, too. But, you give him a lot of lines or no? Yeah, he had a good amount of lines.

Wow. Does he have an accent? Naturally, he has a bit of an act. But it's interesting because I think he studied proper British English. So it's almost like a British with a little touch of Chinese accent. Wow. Yeah. Yeah, there's John. That's amazing.

Oh, he was the dialect coach for Kerry Washington. Yeah. On, I think, Little Fires Everywhere or something. Yeah. Wow. Yeah, man. Yeah, you're the future, Jimmy. I mean, you're just, who's, okay.
