Starting point is 00:00:00 I have to admit I've never been more nervous about gas than you guys. Why? I've had everyone have a Judd Apatow, Jordan Peel. But why would you be here? I don't know if this is in politics. I think because he's in politics and I feel like I'm dumb, you know what I mean? And I feel like I don't know what to say. No, you don't have to say it.

I was, you guys, I've never been so nervous with guests. I mean, we had all kinds of guests on this thing, important people.
Starting point is 00:02:30 I slept two hours last night, right? And I was just like, why not? I couldn't sleep. I've never seen Bobbi Lee pace up and down the stairs. Pace up and down. He usually isn't even awake at this time either. Because, you know, I know your family history, I know you, I'm, can I say I'm a liberal?
Starting point is 00:02:49 What up? What up? What's up? Pop is a liberal, no? Yeah, you are. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just saw him a little right. Everyone's a butt.
Starting point is 00:02:57 Yeah. I'm a huge fan and I know, my binder, our friend, but he's running for President of the United States, give Robert Kennedy, Jr. a round of applause everybody. But I also want to introduce our other guest. She's from the groundlings, and I know a lot of people from the groundlings. I was on Mad TV for eight years, and I worked with a lot
Starting point is 00:03:21 of your friends. And I also, I'm gonna ask you a question after, but you're one of the greatest shows of all time, Kirby Enthusiasm, Cheryl Heinz, give her a round of applause. Oh! The most important question I wanna ask is, do you remember me on your show, Kirby Enthusiasm? Oh, shit balls.
Starting point is 00:03:43 Oh, shit balls. What season? Season 5 I guess start. Give me a hint. Something about it. Okay, he's Korean. I would hope so. This was a long time ago.
Starting point is 00:03:56 Yeah, yeah, that's me. Yeah. What was the storyline? Oh my god, you're breaking my heart. See, I thought I killed it. I thought you were. You did, I'm still talking about it. So what?
Starting point is 00:04:09 I just can't remember exactly, in or where or what was said. Okay, I'll tell you what it is. Okay, Tommy. Larry thinks that I ate Jeff Garland's dog because I'm Korean. Oh my god. No, it's trash, trash.
Starting point is 00:04:24 Yeah, yeah. And so then I bring meat to this wedding or whatever, and Larry tells everyone, it's dog meat. Were we on the beach? Yeah. Yeah. It's dog meat. And everybody starts throwing up.
Starting point is 00:04:38 Yeah, people start throwing up, right? Remember that day. And then Larry drives home, and he sees the dog on the side of the street, right? So it's awkward to talk about it now. Yeah, yeah. So you know, he thinks I ate the dog. Yeah. And I want to say something, Cheryl. Yeah, please. I've never eaten dog.
Starting point is 00:04:52 No, of course you have. I have four dogs. Yeah, of course. And three cats. I don't eat dog. It's a ridiculous thing to say. That's why Larry, David, you know, he can get away with it. I don't know how he is the only person that can keep saying. And also your right? Do you have you in dog? No, no, you've wanted to no no, okay
Starting point is 00:05:10 Never never anyway. It was a great episode and when I was on the show I was like it's a dream come true because rarely do I am I on a show that I like yeah Yeah, you know, I mean and I when I was there I was just like holy fuck can I swear? Holy fuck I'm on a great show. Wait, holy fuck, can I swear? It's a holy fuck. I'm on a great show. Well, wait, did you audition? Did you audition or they, shhh, yeah. But could I say something?
Starting point is 00:05:31 Yeah, please. Once I walked into the room, because it was Larry Charles was there too. Yeah, I love Larry Charles. And he directed me later at the dictator. I was in the dictator. Some other things that he's doing. And as soon as I walked in, they kind of basically gave me the job. Yeah, of course. Yeah, they just kind of looked at me
Starting point is 00:05:48 Oh, that's a guy. Yeah, yeah, not to you, sir. Oh, wait. Is that how you guys met through Larry? But you should know that share a lot I think can I describe you as a little bit or about your experience with mad TV? Yeah What do you mean? What do you mean by that Robert? Matt TV. Yeah. What do you mean? What do you mean by that Robert? Robert, what do you hear stuff like that? I don't like your tone. Members of your audience that don't understand why Cheryl and I would be on this your show together were married. Yes. Yes, that's true. They are married. Yeah. Yeah. You have children. We do. Seven kids. Seven kids. Yes. Yeah. And Larry David introduced them. I know that. Yeah. Right. Yeah, but not but not in a way that was like, whoa, you guys should get together. Yeah. It wasn't like a blind date. No, it's just like here. You guys. But when you first met,
Starting point is 00:06:34 did you want to smash or no? No. No. It was a long time ago. And we were. Yeah, we were both married at the time. With two different people. Whoa. Yeah. But so it was. And then it wasn't, I think, seven years later when we were both getting divorced. And it was on a ski event. I put on every year for my organization Waterkeeper, which is a big water protection group. And we did a, is water interdainter water? I mean, I've never seen water in the game.
Starting point is 00:07:11 We're protecting the water from waterways, water sources. So we have, we have vitral modes on 350, but the water's fine. Water, the water's good. That's, I, I, I don't want to worry. From polluters. Oh, from polluters, my bad. Oh, yeah, environment stuff. Yeah, what I'm worried. From polluters. From polluters, my bad. Oh yeah, environment stuff.
Starting point is 00:07:26 Yes, environment stuff. Yeah, so. So yeah, because people fish in these waters, Bobby. They drink it. They drink it. I bet that they were like, you know, being destroyed. I don't know. Anyway, I thought there was a war on it.
Starting point is 00:07:37 I thought there was a war on water, I said, but I only had to go ahead. So you're on a ski thing. So we, it was a pro celebrity ski event. And who's there? Who's there? Oh. Name drop. So we it was a pro celebrity skiv and Who's there? Who's there? Oh, name drop. Well, Larry David for one. That's a big one. Uh, J.B. Smooth was involved at some point. Part of the gay hearted. J.B. He's black, right? Yeah, I like him. He is. Yeah, I do.
Starting point is 00:08:00 Um, but there were lots of people that were coming. We. We had a lot of, we got a good turnout. Good. I could go through. No, but don't. A list, I'm like, I'm name dropping, which I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm sorry, sorry, sorry. Sorry, that was a dumb question.
Starting point is 00:08:18 So you're at the ski resort. You guys see each other. They didn't want to ski. You didn't want to ski. Oh, me and Larry. No, we weren't going to ski. You didn't want to ski. Oh, me and Larry. No, we weren't going to ski. We were just going to go and say hi. And Bobby was like, the next thing I know,
Starting point is 00:08:33 we're being fitted for skis. And I had lived with Larry for two summers living together. And we were going on. We went on to our vacations together. Oh, family is dead. Oh, and our kids attended the Hebrew summer camp together. My daughter was best friends with Larry's two daughters. So he had just started curb and he brought Cheryl with him to this scheme and they didn't intend to escape but they ended up skiing. Yes, that was at the
Starting point is 00:09:16 very beginning. So then I didn't even, I didn't really know him for years. I know but when you first met him, did you think he was attractive? I thought, you know what? He wasn't really my vibe. Oh. In your face. Oh, man. How does that, man? Holy, man, you got to live with that.
Starting point is 00:09:34 What? Hello. I just remember. That's a surprise. I remember wearing pleated khakis and I was like, whoa. Oh, that's not my vibe. No one's five. That's no one's five. She got me out of those immediately. That sounds weird because you look great now.
Starting point is 00:09:56 What you're wearing now, I love. Yeah, that's yeah. This was my uniform, you know, blue jeans before I got silver. Okay. It was part of my like, you know, you know, changing the was my uniform blue jeans before I got silver. It was part of my changing the spiritual realignment when I came in and I switched to khakis, but then she broke your spiritual life.
Starting point is 00:10:16 But yeah, it was like a slow burn then. Well, I didn't even, I never saw him. I never really thought about him no offense. Um, for a year. Our lives were just in different places. And then at some point, like years and years later, I was going through divorce, he was going through divorce. And so I saw him, I was like, oh, hey,
Starting point is 00:10:36 oh, hey, how's it going? And then she came to another event, another scheme, seven years later. And then there was like a little connection like, oh, oh, hi. And then there was like a little connection like, oh, hi. And then I went, I went to Larry, I knew when I wanted to date her, when I could tell the how attracted she was to think. In heat.
Starting point is 00:10:56 In heat. I guess you could tell that, huh? Your sense is okay. I went to, because I know Larry has a lot of rules about that kind of stuff, so that I since she was his television wife, that he wouldn't, that it would be important that I ask his permission. So, yeah. That's right. Yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 00:11:21 That's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So then, I went to the car, I went to. So then I went to the car. I'll tell 11 o'clock at night and I'm meeting with them Is that real? Yeah, wow. And I said, you know, I just said I want I want you to know that I'm Attracted to share. Oh, what would you think if I was dating her? And what do you say? He shocked me. And I know this isn't what he was thinking.
Starting point is 00:11:53 And I know now that this is not what he was thinking because he later reenacted this in the show and we're dead to answer and kind of, oh right. Ask permission to say. And then it came out what he was really thinking. Oh, in the show was coming. Wow. In the show.
Starting point is 00:12:08 Yeah, in the show he felt that no. No, you cannot date. Oh, wow, wow. He acted very excited and happy. And he said some things about Cheryl that I now know to be true. And that I suspect in the end, which he said, he said that she was the most perfect human being
Starting point is 00:12:26 that he'd ever met. Oh, having stayed. And that, he said, she was, she was, she was beloved in her industry, that she was the only person in the industry who didn't have a single enemy. Those, you know, that's true, those are true quotes that he told me and that should be widely known. Yeah. Because I have so many. I don't know how. I really do. Yeah. He's been with it. I be for everyone. Yeah. I have wars constantly through 30 years. That they're involved too. Or is it just you against them? Speak of them.
Starting point is 00:12:59 No, no, no, no, no, where? If I'm driving to the street, I see them on a billboard. There's a war. Yeah, you're like, yeah, yeah, yeah. How dare they get more successful than me? If someone gets like a star on the walk of fame at the war, I'll lose sleep, I'll lose sleep, I'll lose sleep. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, but anyway, I'm just gonna start. Did you know that?
Starting point is 00:13:15 If you want to start a war with me? Yeah, that's why I'm here. That is why I'm here. Wow, so, but like you guys, so you guys obviously lived together for years. Yes, we live, you mean now? Yeah. You're married, lived together.
Starting point is 00:13:31 We do. Because I wanna ask, and this is in a premier and in a appropriate question, but, I mean, do you guys do human things like fart on each other? On each other? Or fart, or fart, not you fart. I mean, you go, oh, that was a good one, baby,
Starting point is 00:13:44 or whatever, do you, hope, if not, I never I mean, you go, that was a good one baby or whatever. That is not, I never been, we've ever had that. No, that's not part of you. That's not part of you. We just hype you hide it. I would say, I hide it. I'm a hider. I'm a hider.
Starting point is 00:13:56 I'm not, I'm not. From the 10 years we were together, not a single fart, not a single anything. I'm a hider. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, that's not our household. I'm like, that's not like it's war, yeah. That's like my brother. That's like. Yeah, yeah. No, that's not our household. I'm like, that's like my brother. That's like my brother.
Starting point is 00:14:07 That's like your brother, yeah, yeah. They do a lot of weird things, but that's not one. Okay, but you guys snuggle, do you guys watch a movie and snuggle together? Yeah. We do. They're all human beings. I don't know, because I asked the four things,
Starting point is 00:14:20 they were like, what are you going to do? And now the snuggly thing is a thing. I hear your mind, I don't know now. You guys cuddle that. And you watch the movie, cut, all right. Yes, yes. I'm sorry, but you know. It's settled.
Starting point is 00:14:33 It's settled. I mean, I just didn't think the, I'm gonna say, did you think the fart thing was inappropriate? A little bit, okay, sorry. That's not good. You know who doesn't cuddle? Who? He doesn't cuddle.
Starting point is 00:14:45 Oh, he is not. I refuse. You don't like using something. Time is money. You've got to think to do. Are you just like, what is this over? When is this over? Do you think it's a waste of time a little bit?
Starting point is 00:14:57 Hello. It seems like a time to connect to it somewhere, you know? Thank you, Cheryl. But Robert, can you back me up on this, right? Oh. Oh. Just listen to me. Okay.
Starting point is 00:15:11 Just listen to me. Right? Right? Yeah. Try to convince them. Yeah. 30 minutes fine. But don't you think that because there's 24 hours in the day, right?
Starting point is 00:15:19 Yeah. There's people you gotta call. There's things you gotta write. There's things that you gotta do, right? Doing this for more than 30 minutes is a little, come on. But do you think it like slows things down and it's just like, okay. Oh, meditation, you can have.
Starting point is 00:15:33 Connection, connection, restoration. You missed the question. What do you think the point of life is? Ooh, great question. Ooh, what? Oh, holy crap.
Starting point is 00:15:46 I think the point of life is to live in the moment. Okay. And to, I think that the number one thing is just to be centered in here. Yeah. Don't worry about the future in the past. That's those don't, they don't exist. And to be here. And I think the whole point about life is helping others.
Starting point is 00:16:03 To me. Yeah. And don't you think having intimate connections with other human beings is kind of the apex of that aspiration? Yes, sir. I do. I also want to tell you that I do do that. I'm just saying that. But I've been so many. Some women want three hour cuddles. I have never asked. I didn't say you. I'm not saying you but women have done that all it It's 15 minutes. I should be great. I was asking you may 15 fine. You never give 15. I do fives Five you can't do anything and then he can count I can feel him counting it down I can't wait till this is over. Yeah, sometimes I have a stopwatch. Yeah
Starting point is 00:16:40 This is over. So sometimes I have a stopwatch. Yeah, you're like, and done. And time. We're out. All right, so you guys watch movies and you coddle and stuff. Yeah. And do you guys, these are weird questions,
Starting point is 00:16:51 but do you guys shower at night or in the morning? That's a very, that's a very good. Fair. Yeah, that's fair. I'm getting a girl right now. She does a shower at night in the morning. I'm like, that's a sleep dirty. I would say both.
Starting point is 00:17:04 Both, thank you. Yeah, like, that's the sleep 30. I would say both. Both, thank you. Yeah, both is important. Yeah. Would you repeat that against, Robert? Both. So you shower at night and in the morning? Well, I exercise in the morning. And so I'm going to shower after I exercise.
Starting point is 00:17:21 OK. You wash your hair in the morning and get dressed for the day. And then you go out and you do all your stuff and then you take a bath before you go to bed. Because I'm not gonna go through my hair thing again. Right, right. Correct. Okay.
Starting point is 00:17:33 And what I also didn't get is why people brushed their teeth in the morning. Priced pics. Priced pics. You guys, I love a little healthy sports betting.

Starting point is 00:19:19 And what I also didn't get is why people brushed their teeth in the morning. I brushed my teeth in the morning. I brushed my teeth a little. Well I'll tell you why. You want to listen to my theory now? Yes. Alright. I brushed my teeth that night.
Starting point is 00:19:33 Okay. Okay. I didn't eat a roast beef sandwich at three in the morning. What about coffee? Do you drink coffee in the morning? I do, but it's not. But you don't brush your teeth after coffee? Well that would mean, I'm sorry to argue, but that wouldn't I don't have to brush my teeth after every meal or everything I drink.
Starting point is 00:19:46 You should. That's what you do. After every meal, if I can. I just hate us. Well, I've got such big teeth. Your teeth are great. I know they're really big, so I have to really take care of them.
Starting point is 00:19:57 Otherwise, otherwise it would be crazier than they already are. You know what you're right, because. He's got like 18 missing teeth, so. Do you want to see? Oh yeah. Look down here. Oh, you didn't want to get an implant? He didn't want to brush in the morning.
Starting point is 00:20:11 Ooh. Oh, okay. All right, I rest my cat. Oh. Wow. He's good. I guess you're right. He's got Robert.
Starting point is 00:20:22 I guess I think you got my vote. You got my vote, fucking. Wow. That was really good. How long have you guys been together now? We've been together since 2011. That would be 13 years. Are there ever some things you so strongly disagree with in terms of like
Starting point is 00:20:41 an advice aversa that have either changed the other person's minds on everything, just like ideology, politics, all of it. I mean, anything we disagree on, I lose. No, that's not true. That's not true. But I do think so because sometimes, Bobby is such an inclusive person. And he says yes to whatever you want to ask.
Starting point is 00:21:08 Can I, I have a cousin coming in, he needs to stay for two months, can he stay here? And I'll be like, can we talk about this? And next thing I know the cousins at the door with the kids. We had two guys this year. Lou spent, I think, two months each in our house We had two guys this year.
Starting point is 00:21:27 They've spent, I think, two months each in our house recovering from surgeries. So. I didn't ask permission before. Oh, you have to ask, Robert. Thank you. Yeah, you have to ask. Thank you. I know that now.
Starting point is 00:21:38 And you built, then you slowly build a resentment. Well, I try to get it out. You know, at night, I'll just say, look, this can't happen again. Uh, this ever happens again. And then it happens again. But, but he definitely taught me because if somebody asks me something that I think will be difficult to do, I before I met Bobby, I would say, let me think about it and give back to do. I, before I met Bobby, I would say, let me think about it and give back to you. And he always says yes, and he's like, we'll figure it out.
Starting point is 00:22:10 Like if this person needs something, just say yes, we'll figure it out. So I've started to come around to that idea more and more. So sometimes I think what would Bobby do? And then I'll, you know, just say yes and know that we'll figure it out. You know, it's, I think it's it's surprising that you'd learn that from. But though you think the 12 subs and AA may be.
Starting point is 00:22:30 Yeah, I mean, I made a conscious decision at some point that whenever anybody asked me to do a favor, I'm going to say yes. Yeah. And then if I can't do it, then I'll say, well, I can't do that because I'm in Boston on Tuesday. Yeah. But otherwise, like if Cheryl has me, will you do me a favor? I don't ask her, you know, what it is. I say yes. Yeah, he says yes.
Starting point is 00:22:52 No, he says yes. Yeah, yeah. And I need to know what it is first. Before I go. Yeah. But what do you need? Yeah. But I think that's, I mean, that's the whole idea
Starting point is 00:23:01 of what, what I said helping others is because it's like, you know, for me, I was so self centered thinking about myself. And then as soon as I got sober, or every time I get sober, it's just not about me. It's about going out of myself and helping others. And that's why I go to meetings, not for myself, but to say hi to a newcomer or shake their hand. Like, I started my own A meeting on Wednesday mornings for comedians because I just think that comedians need it and I see
Starting point is 00:23:26 that in you in your life, you know what I mean? And like I don't know if we've had any presidents that practice the 12 steps in their lives. I don't know I don't know of any but I mean I would love that, you know what I mean? Because it would apply that into- It's interesting because you Lizzie's a grant who was really who's not given credit for Because they would apply that to the interest thing because Elysees S Grant Who was really who's not given credit for you know what an extraordinary president he was but He was a hopeless alcoholic. He was really debilitated by alcohol and he was and he lost every business that he got involved. He was probably involved in, you know, between, I'd say, a dozen and 20 business ventures and every one of them failed.
Starting point is 00:24:12 Wow. He was a very hard working guy. And he ultimately joined a group that was called the Washingtonians, which was the predecessor of the Oxford group, which was the predecessor of AA. Wow. Oh, yeah. That's what influenced Bill W. Bill W. On the Oxford group.
Starting point is 00:24:32 Yeah. I know the Washingtonians and the Oxford group both collapsed because they took very strong positions on prohibition. And that's why in the AA traditions, they say we don't get involved in any public controversy because the two predecessor groups that were very much like AA, both collapse, they hadn't been involved with that, you know, very public controversy. And but Grant had a guy who was the Washingtonians that had a lot like A.A. They didn't have the steps, but they went around and they talked, they tried to help other alcoholics.
Starting point is 00:25:13 They understood that there was that connection that you had the only way you'd face over is by helping somebody else. So they went around and they did a lot of public speaking and it was very sort of Christian oriented. And then when he became, when the Civil War started, his life was utterly failure. And then he stepped into this position where he instantly showed himself to be completely indispensable. He basically could not lose a battle. And the battles that were being lost that he walked in on, he turned them around to meet.
Starting point is 00:25:50 He had this extraordinary capacity to lead men, but he also was fighting alcoholism entire time. And he had one guy who was his best friend, a childhood, become a lawyer. and that guy could keep him sober. And so when he became the commander of the Union Army, the one demand that he made on Lincoln was that this man who had no military experience be appointed a Brigadier General and his aid to camp
Starting point is 00:26:24 so that that guy would be with him at all times because he knew when that guy was with him he wouldn't drink. It's over again. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's over again, yeah. Yeah, but he's cool. That's old school, yeah. He lived the, you know, he lived like the AA principles and program.
Starting point is 00:26:43 He was, people said the only time he was ever seen to lose his temper was when he saw man beating a horse. He could not, even though he ordered, you know, 350,000 and there was 669,000 Americans died during that war. And most of them had battles in which he was involved. So he was So he was able to order men to give orders that it was all to people just to ask, but he couldn't stand cruelty. And the only time he got angry, he was running some and beating a horse.
Starting point is 00:27:15 I'm just saying, I mean, I know a lot of AA people, they're like so empathetic toward animals. I mean, for me, it's like animals are such a big part of my sobriety in terms of just like connecting with you know what I mean, with something. He does cuddle the animals. I mean, for me, it's like animals are such a big part of my sobriety in terms of just like connecting with, you know, I mean, with something. He does cuddle the animals. I know. I was thinking.
Starting point is 00:27:30 A lot. I'll cuddle proud. I'll cuddle with a woman but an animal. Yes. That's all day. You should, you should tell. I mean, I go out of the ammo because you had a wonderful an ammo. I want to know about the ammo. You tell me about the ammo. You tell me about emo.
Starting point is 00:27:45 Well, he loves animals. I like animals. I like them. What's an emo? An emo was like an ostrich, like a giant bird. They're flightless. They're flightless. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:56 Long Nets, long Nets. Yes. Okay, about seven feet tall. They're brain, they're tiny, and they're angry. I gotta go about it. Oh. I like it. They're so cute. So and you're angry. I like it. Oh. I like it. They're so cute.
Starting point is 00:28:06 So we had a pet emo. No. Yes. At your house. Yes. In the backyard. Yes, when we lived in Malibu. And this...
Starting point is 00:28:16 The emo loved me. He would like you. And it imprinted on you, though. And it really, it goes swimming in the pool and did laps. And it was, uh, and hated everyone else. And when I was, I didn't wear it. It would lie on its back to have it's umic scratch. And it would come in our house, you know, and just something out with us.
Starting point is 00:28:35 Yeah, and not listen. No, nobody wanted it in the house. But somehow the dogs were able to open the doors and then the e-moo would come in. Oh, so they had a relationship. The dogs, they're two-hooed. They were two-hooed. Wow. And how many dogs do you have two?
Starting point is 00:28:51 Now we have three. Wow, great, great. But at the time we had an e-moo, we had three dogs. Three dogs. Oh, we had a turkey. Yeah, that would come in the house. Yeah, so, but this friggin' emo was mean
Starting point is 00:29:12 And he would and he would he would chase you around the backyard Really and I kept saying you've got to get rid of this friggin bird. Yeah, I would come home and she would be She'd be in front of the computer and I'd see over shoulder that she was looking at Life's man of email I would look it up. I would look it up Wow I was pitching this I was pitching a film to this investor. So I'm waiting for this call, right? And the call came in.
Starting point is 00:29:50 We had bad cell reception, so I had to go outside. And I'm an outside and was hot. And I was talking to the guy. And I'm like, here's what the film is about. And this kind of e-mo. Would you never named it by the way? Toby. Toby, so say Toby, please respect. Toby.
Starting point is 00:30:08 Yeah, Toby. Toby starts coming at me. Yeah, yeah. And he starts chasing me around the yard. And I'm trying to keep my voice calm, you know, because I don't want to tell this guy. I'm sorry, I'm being chased by an e-moor around my yard. So I'm like, anyway, there's a woman who's,
Starting point is 00:30:25 and this, and Bird is coming at me. And we go around the yard, and I finally chase him into the house and close the doors and finish the pitch. And then Bobby came home, he's like, what's going on? I go, I'll tell you what's going on. It is that Toby. Toby.
Starting point is 00:30:44 Toby. For me. Oh, it's a native. Yeah, it got to that point. And he was like, listen, if it means that much to you, all you have to do is say something. And I said, I've said something to you a lot, and I'm done.
Starting point is 00:30:58 Yeah. So he was like, he goes, well, I always thought, you were kidding. I said, no, it sounds like I'm kidding, because I'm mad at you about an e-mo, but it's not a joke anymore. So we found another home. I didn't buy a lion. That was not an orange.
Starting point is 00:31:19 You didn't really get in by line. I'm out in line. I'm out. What? What? Was it P22? Cheryl, what have you done? What have you done? It was not a long morning period. I'm out in line, I'm out. What? Was it Pete's 22? Cheryl! What have you done?
Starting point is 00:31:26 What have you done? It was not a long morning period afterwards. Oh. I listened. It was not on my watch. You guys, hold on. Stop everyone. Everyone, rest in peace.
Starting point is 00:31:38 I'm on my Toby. Toby. Yeah, Toby. Toby, Toby. Yes. This reminds me of a time my dad was really similar with animals I grew up in the Philippines and one day he just brought home a monitor lizard. Oh, I know.
Starting point is 00:31:51 How big is that? They get it pretty big. I think Komodo dragon but without the less infectious mouth. And same thing, my mom was like, you cannot have that reptile. We have two young children and he would feed it like chunks of raw meat. And then one day, he severed my sister's hair. Oh! Just split right in half.
Starting point is 00:32:11 It's you needed to get it stitched back on. Okay, that's them. They stitched it back on. They stitched it back on. They made that. But then my dad then donated it to the zoo. And so that's where it went to live. But it took us.
Starting point is 00:32:22 I did it getting by a mountain line. Like Toby. You saw how big that bag is. Yeah, big, yeah. That's where it went to live. But it took us. It didn't get eaten by a mountain lion. Like Toby. You saw how big that that thing. Yeah, it's big. Yeah. Robert, are you mad at her? I do miss Toby. Let's get there.
Starting point is 00:32:31 Do you miss Toby? I do miss Toby. And you think of Toby often, right? What's the matter? Do you allow an emo in the White House? Would you allow an emo in the White House? Well, I wouldn't allow them into that White House, but I'd keep one in the rose garden. There we go.
Starting point is 00:32:50 Tiger Burley fans, listen here, you heard every first. Emo's at the White House. Emo, you've... Whatever they're called, emo. Emo is us. We're emo. Though they have black hair and they're like, cool. I'm sensitive.
Starting point is 00:33:03 They're giving out emo's at the White House, guys. And a hot topic. He's gonna be great. But at one time, he, uh, he, he, he, uh, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, opened, he would come after us and then the gate would close and it was just this ridiculous game and I was with my friend and her friend daughter is standing on top of the car screaming because she's like, I don't know where we're looking to die.
Starting point is 00:33:35 And then like the sheriff came by. I don't know about the surfers. Oh well, we had these, we had these like 19 year old surfers dudes next door. And they heard the screaming and they were like, what's going on? Can we help you? And I said, yes, you can. There is an emo on the other side of the page.
Starting point is 00:33:55 So fun. Wow. And they said, OK, why do you open the gate? And then we'll distract it. And you guys can run inside. It was like, great. The gate opens, the emo starts coming after them, they scream like babies and run home. And so now
Starting point is 00:34:12 we're still you know locked out of the house and then the sheriff comes up and he's like what's going on? I go there is an emo on the other side of this gate that's, you know, really terrorizing us. And he said, is it your? That's... I was like, I guess, I guess. So I said, but nonetheless. And he's like, all right, have a good night and drives off. Well, how did you get the e-moo tobey in the first place?
Starting point is 00:34:44 I got a friend of mine, I breed some, and he gave me a couple of eggs. Oh, I smashed him out. We gonna be obletzler. You guys are like, oh, sweet. It's fine. Because there must have been a point where you were like, oh, baby, Emo, he was cute.
Starting point is 00:34:59 And then little, he was like, when we got him, he was little, you know. He was only this big, maybe,, he was little, you know. He was only this big maybe four inches. Oh, cute. Wow. I mean, he gave him to my daughter cat. My daughter's name is Cat. And then we had to get him from the...
Starting point is 00:35:13 Trying to make friends with her. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, in eff of, you know, we could go on and on. I'm so riveted. Tobias is this real. Yeah, Tobias. But just to put kind of what to be honest, listening to all that with your family,
Starting point is 00:35:29 and Malibu, the healthy, and all this stuff, it's just like people just don't know about that. I think people want to know about that. I mean, that sounds like a fun, like fun people. There's a fun people. Oh, okay. Yeah. I mean, you're a little evil about, you know,
Starting point is 00:35:41 but it's fine. Well, this, like a killer. No, it would work. I had to look at it. I wanted it to die of natural problem but I just wanted to know how long I had to put up with it but it there was. She used to get keeps and she used to say to me I don't want today to be the day that I kill an emo with it. No because I had to start walking around with a shovel if I went in the backyard to keep him away from him. And so I would wake up in the morning,
Starting point is 00:36:08 I'd have a cup of coffee, I'd walk in the backyard with a shovel and I'm like, is this how I'm gonna start the day by bashing you? Yeah, yeah. Like, my family comes home and they say, what happened? Well, he came after me and I hit him with a shovel. I was like, what, life in my living right now?
Starting point is 00:36:25 You can either chase down by a bird, just pet by a bird. Oh my God, it's scary. Like a pigeon, a pigeon. No, they'll pick who's he. Oh, okay, okay. No, they'll chase you down and they'll pet the shit out of you. Our turkeys would do that.
Starting point is 00:36:37 Yeah, I had a pet chicken named Kukook for seven years. And I didn't know they lived that long. Or... Yeah, well, wait, Kukook. Kukook. Kuk co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co-cook, co And so everyone. And Philippines, they do a lot of cock fighting. Cock fighting. Cock fighting is a really big thing. I loke he still, we still go to them when we go to the Philippines.
Starting point is 00:37:12 Yeah, they're fun. They're brutal, but you know. Yeah, yeah. I close my eyes at times, but it's a good thing. Yeah, yeah. I mean, some pad is bad, I mean. OK, yeah, but I get dragged. I get dragged.
Starting point is 00:37:21 I'm protesting. I have a sign. Yeah, you're like, don't do it. Stop, stop. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You guys don't do it. No, it gets pretty brutal. Yeah, I get dragged. I'm protesting, I have a sign. Yeah, you're like, don't do it. Stop, stop, stop. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, it gets pretty brutal, like, my uncles, they drag me to the cock fights, to the cock the gun,
Starting point is 00:37:30 and you know, with a losing chicken, they mop the bottom. No. What do you do? They should change the name. The cock fight? I just have my cock fights. I just have to, what would you rather call it? Just like cock fights.
Starting point is 00:37:41 Chicken wrestling. That's it. Chicken wrestling. Chicken wrestling. Chicken wrestling. I know. They have a hard-earned wrestle. I know. They have this sharp blade underneath, and it's at yes. There's errors.
Starting point is 00:37:49 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, me and they strap of a little blade. Oh, no, I don't know this. Like a UFC, but you know, whatever, but to see the chicken. It's a cocktail gun. Yeah, yeah. A cocktail gun.
Starting point is 00:38:02 Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the name of the place that the cock fight state. A little stadium. Yeah, it's like a little arena, but then it's not even a little arena because now it's some of them are pretty massive. People get really into it. Okay, aside from, I want to change course now. We're not talking about Cox and the bird fighting anymore.
Starting point is 00:38:21 We want to get into why Robert's running for the presidency. Don't you want to do that before he goes? Don't do that before he goes? Don't do that before he goes? And already, can I just say this, sir? Can I call you, sir? Can I do this, sir? Yes. I've never seen it. I've never met anybody that's right. President, I'm sweating so much. Are you. Sir, are you swimming? I got a bow. What is that? I'm so bad now, sir. I can go to win.
Starting point is 00:38:49 For Toby. Yeah, for Toby. Because you want the one that I'mo in the room? And I expect a position. I'll do whatever. Wait, that's a good question. I'll be a janitor. Yeah, like, don't you want to be appointed?
Starting point is 00:38:59 What would Bobby be appointed? How about ambassadors, some sort of island? Yeah, the Philippines. No, no, no. Kind of no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, But I had the idea first. Yeah. I have a favor. Let me hear it. You're the one who hear them for before I say yes. So you're late at night, you're laying in bed and you just kind of said it?
Starting point is 00:39:37 No, what happened was I was being censored. And then I was being very, very heavily censored on the social media. And then when they were started when the Ukraine war, I was very critical of that. And that stuff was being censored too. And I just felt like I saw that the Democratic Party, my party had abandoned some of its key principles, you know, including, you know, its alliance with the, with the
Starting point is 00:40:15 middle class, with the working poor in our country, and it was, it was becoming increasingly allied with Wall Street and with a war machine and the censorship in national complex. And so I thought one of the ways that I could talk to the American public for the first time is if I run because there's rules that make it much more difficult for people to censor you if you were running for president. But I also know that I would not be fair to my family. And it would not get by my wife if I if I was just running because, you know, to push a
Starting point is 00:40:52 principal or and but then a guy called Jeremy Zodby runs for the biggest polling firms in our country. Well, I didn't know, but he was pulling me without me knowing it. Wow. So he was putting me in a lot of his polls and the numbers that were coming back despite the kind of constant attacks on me. The numbers show that I had the highest popularity rating of any political leader in the country. And so I show he sent me an email saying, I need to show you these polling results. And then he came over and showed them to share all of them. And at that point, she started thinking, well, if there's really a past of victory that she might buy into it. And we had that discussion for several months before finally, she
Starting point is 00:41:48 highlighted it. It's so funny because what happens, we know even as podcasters and as a comedian, as an actor, I'm on line a lot. And what happens online, the things that you hear, say, and all the stuff that you, it's not really reality. When you go on the world, that's reality. That's true in the world, that's reality. That's true. So I think that's what, I think yeah. That's a scary part too though. Like whatever you say, you could talk for three hours
Starting point is 00:42:12 and it can be reduced to one staple. They'll take out two words. And that's what they'll go with. Not even what the conversation. I mean, I was just called dismissed as antivacs. I've never been antivac scene. Yeah. But that was the label that was put on me
Starting point is 00:42:32 in order to censor me, to silence me, to discredit me. I'm not complaining. I don't want to say I'm like that, but that's what was happening. And for me, I think it's better to have a dialogue. Yeah. And to be, you know, I have a respectful, congenial debate with people,
Starting point is 00:42:51 which was the kind of democracy that I grew up with. Yeah. Yeah, so when Bobby was talking about, right now, the country is so divided, right? There's so many, we hate each other, where we've been pitted against each other for so long. So when he started talking about a place in the middle where can't we bring two sides together? So it's not just fighting all the time when we try to work together.
Starting point is 00:43:19 Then it started making sense to me and I thought, yeah, actually that would be nice. You know, instead of hating each other, listening to each other, and figuring out how to work together. And especially, like you said, with the middle class, it's been ignored for so long. You know, it's, it's started making sense. And then now that we've been out on the road together, it's interesting listening to people, real people, because once again, like you're saying, if you're just listening to sound bites, you're not really getting the whole story. But when we go out, we went to South Carolina for a long time and you're
Starting point is 00:43:54 really listening to people, you know, what they're struggling with and they're struggling to pay their bills to fill their gas tank. And that's really what people are interested in and what they need. Yeah. And I was a couple years ago, I was in rehab. And I went to a rehab. There was like a small group. There was only 12 people.
Starting point is 00:44:16 And there was a guy in the group. He was wearing a mega hat. And at the time, I was gung-ho like anti, you know what I mean? I was just like a bleeding heart liberal. And I was like, in my head, I was gung ho, like anti, you know what I mean? I was just like a bleeding heart liberal. And I was like, in my head, I was like, I'm not gonna talk to that guy. By the end of the thing, him and I were very close. And I remember when we hugged each other, goodbye.
Starting point is 00:44:37 I kind of got cheery at him. I was like, dude, I'll see you call me this and that, right? And I realized we have way more in common than not. That's right. And it was like the media, and it was like social media, and all that stuff, pitting us against each other. And it's not even real. I know. We put it so similar in every way.
Starting point is 00:44:54 Right. It's like the Jangling keys. There's people who want to keep Americans apart. Yeah. And it's like, you know, watch this. Look over here. While I'm robbing the bank, and stealing you all blind. Yeah, yeah it's like, you know, watch this. Look over here. While I'm robbing the bank. He's stealing you all blind. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And we're all looking at the keys and, you know,
Starting point is 00:45:09 not seeing that he just stole the Tesla or whatever. Yeah. And we're all distracted by hating each other. And then, you know, the kind of the central organizing theme of my campaign is finding values that we haven't come and rather than these little issues that keep us apart. But how do you change that? How do you change false information online? How do you change all these? Or even how do we change ourselves
Starting point is 00:45:40 from being so easily attracted by the dangling keys? Is there something inherent about why it's so easy to kind of be distracted? Well, you know, my dad was campaigned. My dad was in really the same position I am in many ways. As he was running against a war. He was running against the president of his own party. He was running against the president of his own party. He was running against an
Starting point is 00:46:05 entire infrastructure that was a power that was aligned against him. The unions were against him. The big city mayors were against him. The liberal press was against him. Even the university students at that time were against him because he was for, he was ending draft firmets. And the people who he had brought into power in 1968, eight years earlier, were all working for Johnson. So they were against them, and, but he was able to put together this coalition, but just telling the truth to people, and telling them truths that they didn't want to hear. And he went against all the kind of political wisdom. You know, you have to tell people that they want to hear. And he would go to colleges like Great University
Starting point is 00:46:56 in Nebraska and tell, and the students asked him, are you going to keep our draft of firmments? That was the reason most kids were in college because they didn't want to go to Vietnam. And he said, no, I'm not going to because it's unfair at 50% of every paratrooper unit in Vietnam is black because they can't, they don't have access to the college. He said, I can get my 11 kids into college and get them out of the draft. That means that the awards can be fought by black people alone and that's not, you know, a result. And so that he got booed at first, but then at the
Starting point is 00:47:33 end he'd get a standing ovation. And he did that all over the country telling people news that they didn't want to hear and as it turns out, it worked the last day of his life. He won the most rural state in the country, South Dakota, and the most urban state. And when I was, you know, when we rode on that train and brought his body from, I was with him when he died and then we brought his body pancentral in the York, the Union Station in Washington, it was at two and a half, it should have been a two and a half hour train ride, it was a seven hour train ride because the tracks were lined with people and the people with the whole cross section of Americans, they were whites and blacks and people in military uniforms, hippies.
Starting point is 00:48:17 And he had, you know, on rabbis and priests and nuns, I remember going through Delaware and seeing seven nuns standing in the back of a pickup truck outside of Wilmington, waving their rosary beads at us. And it was this entire cross section of the American experience that he had been able to unite really by telling people the truth. And instead of appealing to their anger and their greed
Starting point is 00:48:45 and their xenophobia and a bigotry, he had tried to remind them of the hero that's inside of all of us and that we're part of a community and that we've got to resist the seduction of the notion that the only way to advance ourselves as a people is by leaving our poor brothers and sisters behind that we have to go together together. And people, you know, people were willing to put it aside to transcend their narrow self interest and see themselves as a part of a larger community and a noble adventure.
Starting point is 00:49:18 And I think we have to get back to that vision, bring Americans together that trump people, you know, and as you said, when you start talking to people, you'll find all these things we have in common. And part of the censorship regime is to keep us from talking to each other. Yeah, it was the first time where I was like, what's the matter?
Starting point is 00:49:38 No, I just wanted to stick to the whole thing. Oh, cool. I am trying to keep going. I thought you were doing the emo thing again. You know what I was thinking? I think that's the only thing I thought you were doing the emo thing again. I think they told me that. I was like, that's over, Cheryl. We're not doing that right now.
Starting point is 00:49:50 It's terrifying. Well, yeah, I mean, ever since I met that dude, I want to say his name, but the man I got that was in my rehab, it's opened my eyes because then I went to Dollywood. I'm running with the Dollywood. And then my mind was like, I'm just a amusement park. It's, where's it? In Tennessee, right? Right, Tennessee.
Starting point is 00:50:09 And I'm like a Korean loudmouth, kind of a, you know, crazy comedian. And I went in there and it was just, there was just love there. Even for me, you know what I mean? And these are people that will probably generally vote, right or whatever, but I felt like this kinship with people, and that just kind of went,
Starting point is 00:50:28 you know what, dude, I'm not, I think I'm gonna change my whole world view on this thing. Yeah. Well, there's the internet and this is real life. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's gonna have vitriol, even us podcasting for as long as we have. It's like, there's that, and you go out into the world,
Starting point is 00:50:42 and you're like, I'm not hearing you know like insults thrown at me all day Yeah, yeah, generally decent. That's true hard working and mind. Yeah, yeah, and inherently good, I think yes How do we get so what what happens now? I mean You I don't know much about politics here. I'm gonna ask a dumb question. Okay So is during the you're running on the Democratic primary. What happens? How do we do this? How does Biden step aside?
Starting point is 00:51:10 Oh, yeah, and is there a debate? Yeah, does there debate? How does this happen? Well, it would be good if there was a debate. I don't think that President Biden wants to debate me. And he, you know, ultimately, I can't force him to, but I think it's important that he get out because there are, people are,
Starting point is 00:51:34 he's gonna have to debate Trump at some point. I think a lot of Democrats are gonna make sure, and make sure that he can do that. If they become the candidate. Yeah. And so I think that he needs to do some unscripted town halls or whatever, but my numbers are now growing very, very strong. And so then we fight primary by primary. start with new Hampshire go to Iowa
Starting point is 00:52:05 um and then South Carolina and Nevada Michigan and you know I um and so we we have campaigns in each one of those states yeah and I think people need to just keep showing up I mean when Bobby speaks he's drawing these huge crowds and there's that says something you know that says something. You know, that says that people are really listening and getting behind him. And I think at some point, the DNC will not be able to act like he's not running because that they keep trying to look the other way. There are no other candidates running, but Bobby is running. And the more hundreds and thousands of people are showing up, the less they'll be able to act like he's not.
Starting point is 00:52:53 Right, we got to pack even more. We got to get more people out there. Yeah, pack it in, you guys. So in this near time, go check this guy, good speaker, man. Go check him out. Check him out. Whatever city's in there, go check, right? Yeah. Check him out. Is you know what I mean whatever city's in there go check right yeah check him out is there is there a cover or charge
Starting point is 00:53:07 I don't know how these work how he said $5 the cool guys he's a $5 there's no cover charge but you can go to free man free show man yeah yeah yeah go to Kennedy 24.com you look Kennedy 24.com and see where he is doing it yeah yeah are we wrapping because I still have a couple of questions. No, we're not. I'm just doing a penultimate of the visual rights. Go check him out, man. You know how you guys go see us on the road? Go see him on the road, man.
Starting point is 00:53:33 Oh, yeah, yeah. That's right. It's cheaper. It's cheaper than Bobby Lee's. And it's a better show. He doesn't get naked like I do. Right? He's like, it's good, you know?
Starting point is 00:53:43 It's clean and family fun, you know? Yeah, family. Yeah, not me, it's good, you know? It's clean family fun. Yeah, family. It's clean. Yeah, not me, I'm like, eh, you know. Did you actually get naked? Yeah, I do. Not fully.
Starting point is 00:53:52 Well, not fully. He doesn't show the front bits. But I used to. Just a little star tattoo on your butt. Yeah, I do, I'll pull out, you know, I'll show. He dances. I'll dance into my underwear. I'll show a little crack.
Starting point is 00:54:03 Yeah, why not? Yeah. People where they want. Some people go, why, too, you know what I mean show a little crack. Yeah, why not? Give people what they want. Some people go, why, too, you know what I mean? Like, yeah, yeah. Go ahead. Is it like when Kenny John, Chuck came out of the trunk of the car, and I'm all, I wanna say something about that, all right.
Starting point is 00:54:21 I wish they would have CGIed his penis. Because what do you think it did showing his pianists? Because it's perpetuated. I have to be honest, because I've seen his pianists. I mean, I don't know if we can talk about this. We can. We've all seen it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:33 Yeah, yeah. It's real life, though. OK. And you've seen mine. So mine's made bigger. And that's what I put out. They're friends. I didn't put that word.
Starting point is 00:54:38 We're friends. We're the photo of the. I didn't want to put that out there. Mine's way bigger. It's like inertia. Now, when do you see each other's pianists? It's just curious. You don't have to answer.
Starting point is 00:54:46 Well, no comedians, I mean, not sketch, not sketch, not sketch, not sketch, because you guys are more professional. Yeah, we keep our underwear on. I understand that you guys are more professional and you guys have rules. There's never been a time backstage when we would have to strip down to like nothing. I know, but Cheryl, it's not like,
Starting point is 00:55:03 I'm friends with, he coming, a lot of female comic. I would never obviously show my genitals unless they asked, right? Right, fair. But with comics, it's like, you know, we run the run. Let me see yours, I'm gonna show you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:14 What does yours look like? Okay. They look, oh, I have three colors. Okay. Yeah, yeah. What? Wait, but that's how female comics are too though. Whitney, Esther, Annie,
Starting point is 00:55:24 they show each other. They're so basic. The dinos. The first meeting with any of those three girls. It's always like, hey, you want to see? And then it's like full bush out everything. So it's almost like just a, is a different comic introduction. If politicians, if politicians that maybe we have, we have a better world that we live in maybe honey. Let's get it going.
Starting point is 00:55:49 If dog, if Kim Jong-un and like Putin, you know, maybe they were. They got together and like, they got me. Maybe there's a more of a connection. I don't know. All right. Let's move on from that. Okay. What's the question? No, no, no, no, you were saying something about that.
Starting point is 00:55:57 I was done with that. I was telling the fans that go see him whenever he flanks. So I thought you said you had a couple more questions. I do. Go ahead. Okay. What are your thoughts on Excess being really close friends Because Bobby we're not dated for 10 years. We're no longer together
Starting point is 00:56:11 Yeah, but we still do this podcast. We do everything together. How do you feel about that? I like it I'm I'm good friends with my ex. Oh good. He let in he comes on all of our Eskivication Yes, yes, yes. One time we had a esquivocation planned that he was going to come with us and then Cheryl got a job and couldn't come home me and Rex, a bro date and a bro date went together.
Starting point is 00:56:38 Wow. And they just, because I was like, well, you guys, I'm not going to be able to make it to I thought, the vacation would be off. And they were like, well, you guys, I'm not gonna be able to make it to, I thought the vacation would be off. And then we're like, okay, we'll go without you. They should get the kids to eat. So good. Yeah, that's pretty good.
Starting point is 00:56:53 I'm like, okay. So I like it. I think it's nice. And I think it's like, you know. It's good for the kids. What's good for the kids? And even if you don't have kids together, it's nice because you've spent time with somebody.
Starting point is 00:57:03 You know them really, really well. Well, people online, they can't, they're confused by it. It's like you know, you know, sex is such a small part of a relationship in my opinion. You know, I mean, you have to be attracted. I heard it again. Because he's, you know, that a small part. That is small parts Or it could be a large part big part big part So anyway, you know, yeah, but I think that people have like very like rigid ideas on like what love can look like Yeah, And I think that's what Bobby and I like struggle with at the moment. We're like, just leaving. Are you talking about that, Bobby?
Starting point is 00:57:49 Yeah. This. Is that right if I call you, Bobby, from now on? That'd be really nice. Thank you. Yeah, you should. So, yeah, so, but people are confused by it, but you know what? I do, I love her as a person where friends I trust her.
Starting point is 00:58:03 And it implicitly would think. Yeah, easy between us. Yeah. It it implicitly would think, you know. Easy, but we just, yeah. It's just been so familiar for 10 years. But the family. And does it bother relationships that you come into now or? I'm very clear right up front when I meet a guy.
Starting point is 00:58:16 It's like, he is a very big part of my life. I love him. I will never stop loving him. Like, if that's not something that you can deal with, then let me know I'll keep walking. You know, yeah. I just introduced her. We were in Seattle.
Starting point is 00:58:29 We were doing a show. I just met a girl. He's been doing it. And I met a girl that I'm dating. And it was the first time I've introduced her. Were you nervous? I was petrified because if you guys didn't get along, then it's over.
Starting point is 00:58:41 But you got to trust women in these situations. What do you mean? I don't know because this is a girl you like, respect. She was lovely, by the way. And I feel like it went without a head. Yeah, but I wouldn't, you know what, you're right. Because I wouldn't, because I've dated some crazies, too.
Starting point is 00:58:53 You know what I'm saying? Have a look. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I wouldn't introduce you to them. Right. Right, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I know, I know, I know.
Starting point is 00:59:01 Any other questions? Yeah, I do. Um, what are some tips on long-lasting love? I know I know I know any other questions. Yeah, I do What are some tips on long lasting love? That's a good one Bobby yeah Bobby, I can't wait to hear this I would say You know Scott P Peck wrote this book, The Rudless Travel, and the first line of that
Starting point is 00:59:33 book is that love is effort. And to understand that love is not that kind of adolescent infatuation, that's a wonderful feeling, and it should be part of every relationship. But the important part of love is to recognize that it means making the effort of, I try to anticipate what Cheryl wants and what's going to make her happy. And I try to do that.
Starting point is 01:00:05 I know like washing the dishes, but I enjoy doing them because I know it's going to make her happy. I had a, this guy told me one time when I first, sorry, when I first got so. So it's drifting away from the microphone. I'm like, get back, get back. He told me, he told me this story that he was staying up on I with a baby, which I knew that feeling well,
Starting point is 01:00:30 how exhausting it is and how demanding it is when you have, when you have young children that they just keep you up all night. And he was letting his wife sleep. And he was said that baby was sick. The child was sick. It was, you know, maybe three or two or three year old. And that he was sitting up because the child had a group or something that was regularly
Starting point is 01:00:54 getting them up during the night. He was sitting in a chair in an easy chair, sort of dosing in the child's room. And the baby cried and he jumped up, but he literally leaped up, and when he landed, he planted his foot on a, the heel of his foot on a thumbtack, which buried itself in his heel. And he said that his first feeling at that point was an extraordinary gratitude that he had landed on that thumbtack rather than the child finding it. And, you know, to me, that was kind of one of the first times I thought to start thinking
Starting point is 01:01:32 about what love really is, which is not, you know, just, which is not something that is ego-driven or self-serving, but something that is completely willing to put all of your ego and self-willess eye and to try to really, um, do, you know, live to make the other person happy. Wow. That was beautiful. You hear that? Yeah, I fucked it up. I fucked it up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I didn't do any of that. Yeah, I didn't put no I put no effort in it. I'm sorry. I fucked up. All right. That's why you guys are where you are. Yeah, but in the next life, yeah, you'll see. I've got it. Yeah, well, you'll see. The next thrill is gonna live it up. Yeah, listen, listen, guys, I was petrified about this park. I really was, because, you know,
Starting point is 01:02:26 we've had just silly people on, you know what I mean? But you guys were so silly, you guys were so fun. And I just like you guys so much, man. I really do. I really like you, dude, Bobby. I do your cool dude. And hopefully, you know, because, you know, I'm friends with Binder, maybe we'll go to a meeting

Starting point is 01:05:18 Yeah, I got over it. Because I'm going to, as comics though, I want to be real. And this is not, this is truth. Okay. It's just one of those shows you're at the show that you're on. That's one of the greatest comedy shows ever made. Isn't that, it's, it's ever made.
