Morty, Morty. Oh, you know what I mean? Cuz she was dating Mory at the time. Maybe too sexual, but um
00:00:05
dating right in our wavelength. Married 45 years already. The first time you ever even paid
00:00:11
attention to me because I was wearing a Monontlair t-shirt.
00:00:19
What does that mean? So, let me ask you about the wrong missing. Oh,
00:00:24
okay. Did I that day? Yeah. Uhuh. Okay. that day. Did I do a bad job?
00:00:34
That's a great question. [Music]
00:00:42
Okay, so to start the show, Dana, I'm going to bore the [ __ ] out of you with a story about gambling, about fantasy
00:00:49
football, about DraftKings, which is not an ad. I
00:00:54
can be critical. I can be real. Okay. Is it okay to say I'm all ears?
00:01:00
Yeah. Okay. I'm all ears. You're all ears. And you know plants can hear things. So I think your plant is
00:01:06
going to like this one. Don't make fun of I'm not I'm saying plants. Gertrude is very sensitive.
00:01:13
Gertrude has a mind of her own. Yeah. I don't appreciate No, I know. No one's going out.
00:01:19
Same stuff about Gertrude. Sorry. Go ahead. So you get on this thing. It's Fourth of
00:01:25
July. It's a little early to do fantasy football. Boring, boring, boring. But they have a best ball thing, even
00:01:30
more boring, where you just you do a draft online. Right now, the only thing you need to know is you pick a full
00:01:35
team. It goes randomly, 12 people and then you have a team and you play it
00:01:41
over the year or over the season. Fine. Fine. Boring? Yes. Interesting? No.
00:01:47
I'm not going to judge it yet. But yeah, not yet. So I say, "Oh, best ball.
00:01:53
I'm going to try this one where you pick and you know you join and it's 12 random people so it's so early that it goes it
00:02:00
doesn't start right away. It goes oh you have three people out of 12 so you're in the waiting room and I'm like well when
00:02:06
does it stop? So I check later. Mhm. And it's four out of 12. So I check later and it's the third round of the
00:02:12
draft. I'm like oh no okay I missed it. So, you can put it on the speed of 30
00:02:20
seconds in between, which is kind of normal. It moves quickly. You got to pick. No dillydally.
00:02:28
Or they go the slow one, which takes eight hours. And I said, I'll take an 8 hour day because I missed two of these
00:02:35
drafts. I got in late. So, I said, "Okay, I'm going to do one more, but I want to be there at the beginning. So,
00:02:42
if it goes slow, takes 10 minutes, I can figure it out. I don't get notified.
00:02:47
I'm following. I'm following. You're sort of following. I mean, I haven't done this, but I get the gist. Go ahead.
00:02:52
So, I sign up. Not the fast one. I go to the slow one. It doesn't even start. It's going to
00:02:58
wait till the next morning. They don't They have like 11 out of 12. I'm like, "Ah." So, it shuts off for the night. It
00:03:04
wakes up. It says, "You're drafting your first person, the first round." I'm like, "I got it. It's my turn. I got
00:03:11
it." I turn it on on my turn. Okay, great. Perfect draft. My crafty [ __ ]
00:03:17
draft. Who am I gonna get? Who? It's so crazy. What's he gonna do? He zigs. When you
00:03:22
think he's gonna zag. So I pick a guy. I look later. It says
00:03:28
seven more minutes. I'm like, got to wait for this next guy to pick. This is a slow one, you know. Anyway, I go to
00:03:35
breakfast. I look, it says seven. I go, is this broken? No, Dana.
00:03:41
What I wasn't realizing is it's seven hours. Oh.
00:03:46
When it said eight hour draft, it meant eight hours in between every effing
00:03:52
pick. Wow. So, I was I pick first and then I go 22
00:03:58
later because it goes backwards and snakes it. Anyway, my next pick could be at the beginning of the season because
00:04:04
that's so much time. That's so much time. So, that was two days ago. We're right now in the ninth
00:04:09
pick. Okay. So, what do you want from me?
00:04:15
Here's what he want from me. Are you losing money or gonna give money? No, you're just here to be like baffled
00:04:21
and shocked. And I have a gambling story that's that's a lot simpler to understand.
00:04:26
It's probably better because this one's already over and no one even knows why I told them. I think I think the people are into fantasy football would be like, "Holy
00:04:33
[ __ ] man." Yeah. They're going to be like, "That's you read it wrong." Right. But no one can imagine it's that long.
00:04:39
So, I'm I'm for years I'm I'm playing the New Orleans Hotel.
00:04:44
Okay. In Vegas. Great showroom, 800 seats. And I guess he doesn't mind saying the
00:04:50
name. He's a friend of mine, Mark Pitta. He's my opening act. And he's really into sports and he's really into sports
00:04:57
gambling. So, lot of weekends I would kind of play around with it. Niners by this. I'd do the spread, really simple
00:05:03
things, hand it to him, and I usually would lose or make nothing, you know, he
00:05:09
would he would obey my orders. Here's 500 bucks, here's my picks, and every
00:05:14
single time he would do what I said. So, the last time I had my whole thing,
00:05:21
and I said, "Here's the money. Maybe it was thousands. Here's my hunches.
00:05:26
Just bet on those." And I saw all of them come true. I went, "Holy [ __ ]
00:05:32
Holy [ __ ] you're going to be rich. Ah, and then he came in. He goes, I switched it out in the last minute. He
00:05:39
bet on different things. But before that, he done everything perfect for me.
00:05:45
It's so sick making, especially if you're a gambler. Okay, here's here's another 30 second
00:05:51
one. I'm in I'm playing Harris in Tahoe. I'm doing slots, so I'm always putting
00:05:56
in the max, you know, and then finally I I was down to like two 50 cent pieces. I don't know what it
00:06:03
was. And I hit it and then I hit the jackpoting bing and I would have won like 10,000, but I
00:06:09
won 2,000 and I'm in Harris up at the and I looked up and there was a jewelry shop. So I took the money and just
00:06:16
bought my wife a necklace. Oh, that's nice. That's like a story. That's like what a
00:06:22
great guy you are. Let's let's get fan letters on which gambling story was most
00:06:29

When you say Jackie Chan, you put your arms like that. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
00:14:48
I don't know what we're doing. He's doing karate. I know you want to do a high, but that's [ __ ] up. Oh, like a
00:14:55
karate ch I didn't even know it. He goes, Bobby. Then he goes, I never thought that.
00:15:00
This isn't racist. I'm an impressionist. The more you do a Chinese accent, I'm going to slip into
00:15:05
it. Okay. Oh, is that what he's trying at on the end of the show?
00:15:11
He likes it so much. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:15:16
I love Bruce Lee. Fat. So, so I So, Chiao Fat is a director. No, no, he was in Crouching Tiger,
00:15:23
Hidden Dragon. Chiaoyan Fat was an actor. He's a lead. Okay. Right. So, what I saw him on an E, you
00:15:29
back in the there was E channel, an interview with him, and you know how sometimes Chinese people overpronounce
00:15:35
their English. So, here it already go. Hello, my name is Chaon Fat. You're right. And so I did
00:15:43
that and he did a lot of every time he would say a line in this interview he
00:15:49
would do a different bodily position. So he would go, "Hello, my name is Jon Fat." And he would move his body. So I
00:15:56
explained that in the audition, right? So every line I would do a different position by the end by by the
00:16:01
end of my little thing. I was in the corner room backwards on my hands at Cha [ __ ] cuz I thought that
00:16:08
would be a funny hysterical and it it kind of worked and they call kept calling me back and that's how I got it.
00:16:14
You know what's funny? Tricky impressions like that like you're not I wasn't impressionist when I got on and so I didn't even have to audition fake
00:16:21
you know just make one up but to have to do them and you come up with those three that are just funny in weird ways you
00:16:26
know. Yeah. You have to find the It is smart though. Okie dokie.
00:16:31
Yeah, you know the Asian thing. He wants to say I want to tell you a story about related to what you just did. First of all, uh, accuracy means
00:16:38
nothing. Third of all, everything or did I say second of all, all those were funny. So Steve Carell
00:16:45
comes in, auditions for the Dana Carvey show. Whoops. Metaphoric. Did you got an astray? Anyway, it it
00:16:52
made seven episodes. Put it up. But he goes, "Well, I don't really do impressions." So he was doing it in New
00:16:58
York in the room with me and Louis C. Robert Smiggle did didn't kill. And then we go to LA and audition people again.
00:17:05
So he comes out and he does uh he does the pope.
00:17:17
Yeah. Yeah. Just that was like I didn't need an accuracy. That was [ __ ] funny. So I'm
00:17:22
not surprised you got hired. I I think the point is to make everyone in the in the room be yourself
00:17:28
and make everyone laugh. I mean, that's the point of it. What did you do with the nerves of it? Did you just not have nerves?
00:17:33
Wouldn't Well, I had So, I at the time I was work living with eight people in a
00:17:39
two-bedroom apartment in Silver Lake. Isn't that like sardines? What at carne people? Is that kind of
00:17:44
stereotypical? No. Go ahead. Go ahead. Eight people. I don't know. Go down this line of thinking. I just No, no, no. I like this line of
00:17:50
thinking. Tina, please. So, you know me, we were in a ship. Is that what you're saying?
00:17:57
Right. Like Asian Amasty kind of situation. Is that what you're saying? Yes. No. No. No.
00:18:02
We So Wee Man, you know, from Jackass, the little dwarf. This is out of casting. So we man's
00:18:08
there who had Sophie who she was a a meth addict.
00:18:13
Okay. You mean we had a homeless guy. I'm not kidding you. We had an actor named Kalisto. Never made it. Uh and then we
00:18:20
had my brother Steve lived in my closet. He made like a little bamboo. We call those people gay now. They're
00:18:25
like, "Yeah." So, I was living with all these
00:18:30
people in this in in the Silver Lake Sandborn on street sandborn Silver Lake. And I had to get out. When you have no
00:18:38
money, right? I had no car. And in my mind, I'm like, when you go into an audition, especially
00:18:45
when you're desperate, you do everything you can. I think that's what was my I think they also underplayed it. They
00:18:52
said this is a practice audition and then you go to the real one and you're like so this isn't as much pressure.
00:18:58
So yeah. So this is what happened. So the first time I went in Thank you for D. That's a good trick. I mean that's a good trick for you to relax.
00:19:03

00:19:09
Back then he was in um high school. He was dating Amanda Bines back then. you know, she went a little and um um
00:19:16
great great actress, but we understood that she did went a little
00:19:22
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. though, right? That's what you always say with the
00:19:28
Yeah. Is that guy gay? It's a thing, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Do you do that? Or I
00:19:34
do a wink maybe. What do you do? Yeah. Is that guy? Huh? Better. Mhm. Or
00:19:40
I think I'm going to go hoohoo with different. I can't whistle, so I'll go hoohoo. No, listen. My I'm fine with that. Take
00:19:48
it. I had a guy talk to me in a bar and I didn't know he's gay because he had a he he would always wink like it was a
00:19:54
twitch. So I go, "You married?" He goes, "Yeah." I go, "But you like women." He goes, "Of
00:20:00
course." And I go, "Oh, wow. It looks like she's flirting with you." Yeah. You don't want to get naked with me? He
00:20:06
goes, "Of course I don't." I go, "That one was too big. That wasn't a choice." That was a little too big. Yeah.
00:20:11
Yeah. Yeah. And if I was a director, I would say, "Cut." And I would say, "Maybe do it again." I said, "That's all I got." Okay. Okay. Well, let's move on.
00:20:21
I went on a Saturday and the thing was Nicole Garcia captain goes, "You're not
00:20:26
going to get it cuz I think they really want Taran. They're gonna see everybody, but let's just practice." And at the end
00:20:32
of it, she goes, "You know what? Come back next Saturday." Okay. So, I came back the next Saturday. No
00:20:37
pressure. But the pressure started is when then I started going during the week call backs and then people were there.
00:20:43
Oh, sickening. Yeah. But then at that point I had already done it a couple of times. You had to give me notes and then it gets to
00:20:50
a point where it's just between you and it was just between me and Taran. So we're at Fox, you know what I mean?
00:20:55
It's not like I'm a little I'm a little confused with the numbers. But Bobby,
00:21:01
what? Because Taran was on SNL. No, not yet. Before Dana. Oh, that's what I mean. So, it's 90
00:21:06
what? Sorry, Bobby. I I I I'm a numbers guy. What? Not 90 what?
00:21:12
Right. It was probably 20,000. 2000. Yes. He wasn't on yet. So, so he went there first.
00:21:18
You said he was an Let me ask you something. I'm sorry, David. All right. Well, why would I lie about it?
00:21:24
That was what I was so curious. My blog was Bobby making. Yeah. Yeah. I could
00:21:31
have I could have said Gerard Butler. I mean, like I this is the first I found out that Taran Killium is that senior in high
00:21:38
school, folks. I mean, he's just out of diapers, right, Dave? And he he's almost on television, but Bobby Lee beat him
00:21:45
out at the final thing. So, you're old enough to know Carson. That's rare these days. Huge fan. But listen to this.
00:21:51
Flip Wilson, I know, too. Okay, let's move on. But, uh, great talent. Sugar, come on now, sugar.
00:21:57
The devil made me do it. I'm going to take you down. Don't you disappoint your mama flip, right? Don't
00:22:02
you dis I never met him. Yeah. You know what? I love your part in [ __ ] um
00:22:08
What's so funny? Why you laughing? I had a part in something. Yeah. Yeah. You You were in um They're redoing
00:22:15
it. Um remaking it. Let me get it. Okay. Yeah. Um about the band um
00:22:22
not Spinal Tap. Spinal Tap. Oh, Spinal Tap. You were in Spinal Tap. It was the music with uh Billy Crystal.
00:22:28
Okay. Thank you. Was he not in it? He was. No line. No line. And yet I went that's Dana
00:22:34
Carvey. Yeah. How did you know? Cuz I was in white face even.
00:22:41
Whoops. Excuse me. Can we cut tape? Not cool. Can we cut tape? Not cool. Can we just cut tape?
00:22:48
Bobby, I'm going to go back to the story everyone kind of faded out on when you were um auditioning for
00:22:54
whatever show. And one of the scary things when I did like pilots and stuff like that is when you get to the final
00:23:00
audition, you go in a room and you sign how much you will make on your contract. You sign everything.
00:23:05
Yeah. So you can't get the part and then try to jack them for more. Right. Right. So So you still need it. So they've got
00:23:11
you by the ball. So you sign it. That's a sweaty, sickening thing cuz then you go,
00:23:16
if you come out of that room and you got it, you get this money. You got a deal. If not, they rip it up. It's so horrifying.
00:23:21
It's It's horrifying. Especially when you're young, you have nothing. You have you have you you there's you have to
00:23:27
accept what they you might get 10 grand 30 grand. So there was this girl this is a real story. There was I can't say her name.
00:23:33
Maybe I will. And Margaret maybe I will. What? What? She's Scandinavian.
00:23:39
Good night. It's all I got. Hey.
00:23:44
No. Okay. So I remember so we're about to test. There was another woman who I knew from
00:23:50
the comedy store. Mhm. She goes, "I ain't" And based on her, this is the way she talked. I'm not
00:23:56
trying to get cancelled here. She I ain't sign that not enough [ __ ] money for me. Oh, really? She was white.
00:24:02
What? Yes. She was white. She was Mississippi or
00:24:09
something. No, she totally white. Oh, you kind No, she's from Madison, Wisconsin. She's like, "Hey, motherfucker." No. She
00:24:17
She goes, "Yo, I I ain't signing that." And so what the deal was was every
00:24:23
episode you would get $3500. That's good. That's higher than we got. Okay. On on a TV show
00:24:30
to me it's everything. I go I'll sign it for half or whatever. She goes I I need 10 grand. That's what
00:24:36
she said to me. I go well I know but no one knows who you are for what junkie.
00:24:42
Godamn Madison. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. She was a percoet. Okay. So yeah. So, um, she I don't know, but,
00:24:49
um, she goes, "I ain't doing it. I ain't testing." So, they tested me and Karen. So, cut to 15 years later, I'm at a
00:24:56
restaurant. Okay. Go ahead. And I'm sitting there. She's my waitress
00:25:03
and she her opening line was, "I should have taken it." Oh, yeah. And she was all calm down.
00:25:10
Yeah. Yeah. She's not doing what's up. You know what I mean? Welcome to Yeah. No. No. She was more like well she goes
00:25:16
yo I I yo I should have taken it and you go [ __ ] and so what's the special
00:25:22
that's making me sad because that is the story of Hollywood more people you know even if you have a
00:25:29
career you have a lot of regrets you know yeah yeah I remember Brad Pitt and Troy I turned it down
00:25:37
really I was ripped Brad Pitt came in with his
00:25:42
fancy hair Yeah. Yeah. Have you I mean have you I mean I I don't know this but have you guys read
00:25:48
you you obviously don't read anymore but back in the day did you read for things that you really
00:25:54
wanted and not gotten? For sure. Amdas. I tested for Amdus.
00:25:59
Well Oh no. You would have been great for that. Yeah. Yeah. This is better.
00:26:05
Yeah. I didn't know. I could barely talk. I auditioned for Mori Arti. So Abrams got it.
00:26:11
We would have been together. Yeah. Yeah. What did you audition for? You didn't get you. He was a movie star at 21. Not
00:26:20
I didn't audition for Rory Rarity. What was that? Somebody in Amadeas? Yeah. In Avadez. He played as an empist.
00:26:26
The old man that was like better of that. I didn't see it. I read for Risky Business. You did?
00:26:31
Yeah. Not Tom Cruz's part. Yeah. Booger. Yeah. Tom Cruz part. Yeah. Really? I was 26. cuz I was reading for 18 in
00:26:38
those days. Wow. Before life beat me up. Except you said keep the camera back. You go. When I hear that music, I think I'd walk
00:26:45
out my underpants. I wouldn't slide. Yeah. And then they go, "Tom slid." And I would That's sort of cliche. You did. I saw your audition tape. And
00:26:52
you clearly had a full load in your underpants. Most of my auditions I start my underpants and then I go from there. I
00:26:57
go, I can put pants on if you want. Your wiener was not doing anything, but you had a load in the back. And I go,
00:27:03
"That guy's pretty good. He should get the part. Bobby loves Yes, David.
00:27:08
I have some real questions. What the Sorry about this, guys. This is a real show. I don't like notes. I I'm just
00:27:14
curious. When was the first time you felt rich? Oh, is that a real question? Yeah. Like how like in podcasting?
00:27:23
Okay. So, did you ever get rich in regular television? You got rich during
00:27:28
podcasting. Now, rich can be whatever you think. That way to define what rich is. So, um,
00:27:33
you feel it. Feel rich. I've always felt like I was drowning. What's wrong, David? I was just looking at your $12 wardrobe
00:27:41
going, I don't know if you're feeling rich right now, but I understand what you're saying. I understand. I was like, that's a great
00:27:46
shirt. Is there a Goodwill nearby here? Cuz I want to get one. Like, you know what Dave did did to me once. And I haven't told the story before, and
00:27:52
I I don't know if it's real, but in my mind, it's real, right? But I feel like the first time you ever
00:27:58
talked to me ever was what? I hate it. You're going to hate the story. Okay. You're going to hate the story and I
00:28:03
told it before on you know I don't think you've ever heard it. I've never heard it. All right. All right. But I the first time you ever even paid attention to me.
00:28:09
Okay. I was wearing a Monontlair jacket. I was wearing a
00:28:15
I was I was I was wearing a Monlair jacket. It's kind of jacket I think I have.
00:28:20
Yeah. That jacket that he has. He Oh, it's a Richie Rich. It's a Richie jacket. He took his finger. Right.
00:28:26
He at the concert store and you know how they had the Monlair symbol. You took your finger. You wrap your finger around
00:28:34
the symbol and you go, "Someone's doing well.
00:28:39
What's doing well? Someone's doing well. Someone's doing well. And then from then on, you talk to me
00:28:45
every [ __ ] Then I was like, Bobby, in the club, no. Someone's doing well."
00:28:51
I know. And then I stuck my finger in your ass and I go, "Don't tell anyone this part."
00:28:56
Anyway, now Bobby and I are good to see you, Bobby. start feeling. Well, oh, it doesn't matter. This is
00:29:03
entertaining. I know. It's a good question. I want to tell you. I'm always curious that anyone transitioning.
00:29:10
Yeah. From poverty to kind of like having what? A lot of extra money. When you told me you're transitioning, I
00:29:15
didn't know you meant from poverty. That's why I did from poverty. Okay. Go ahead. So I I um I always felt
00:29:21
like I was drowning because I don't know if you guys were ever here where you would do weekends as a standup. Yeah.
00:29:27
And they would the club would go, listen, you know, we had a comp. You know what I mean? Right.
00:29:33
And and in those days, even though you would make some money, you're right. You always felt like you were drowning. I
00:29:38
think up until maybe seven years ago is when I felt like or eight years ago when
00:29:43
I felt like when podcasting started is when I felt like, okay, well, I'm I think I'm fine. you had enough money and
00:29:49
you're going to be doing this forever. Yeah, that's that's a time when you go, I think I'm okay just doing this cuz I
00:29:54
kept going, should I go back in bus boy? Wait, what could I even do? And then it takes a while to feel like,
00:30:02
okay, I got enough here. I got enough of a base. In the beginning, I had no overhead. It was just
00:30:07
Did you ever call out a owner, a club owner on the split? Did you? I don't know what the split means.
00:30:13
Explain split. Well, I was supposed to get 35% of the door at this hippie dive. the club uh
00:30:18
very famous actually um the other cafe pound someone played there
00:30:24
and it was packed two shows and I just was driving away my Volkswagen bug and I had some cash and I was like
00:30:30
I don't think so. So I went back I go guys really I mean this doesn't seem
00:30:36
right and they immediately like butch casting sun it was like we we did it we're sorry I don't they broke down it's
00:30:43
not us it's not us I don't know this is [ __ ] up you got rat [ __ ] you got no I got my money
00:30:49
I'm saying they rat [ __ ] you and they got well they were they were not giving me 35% of Was it before SNL yo way before
00:30:54
yo way before bananas in New Jersey this is the sad so sounds like a pretty What?
00:31:02
No, that's where everyone goes. You go. I had some shenanigans of bananas.
00:31:08
Yeah. Go ahead. So, they gave me an offer like a guarantee. Yeah. Mhm. And I just didn't do well. They thought
00:31:15
I would do way better than I did. I know. Tough [ __ ] This old couple gave it to me at the very And
00:31:20
they were handing me this check shaky. Oh my god. So, they went, "Oh, well that like like this, right?" And they go,
00:31:27
"Young man, uh, I just for your information,
00:31:32
if we give you this check, our business closes." Oh my. And I go, I go, "Excuse me?"
00:31:38
Wow. Yeah. It's over. And I go and I looked at it. So it was $10,000.
00:31:44
[ __ ] yeah. And I go, "How much would I need to give you back for your business?" And they go, "Five."
00:31:53
So I I had I had that had them rewrite it for five. Very nice of you. And then the next car
00:32:00
Oh, I just figured they did it to every to every headline. Oh, baby. Yeah. Carrot top. Was that really five?
00:32:07
No. Next time the alley with just like this. Yeah. Yeah. But it was the first time
00:32:12
they And also it felt real. It felt they had tears in their eyes. Mhm.
00:32:18
They felt like really like, you know, um just down and out. I just couldn't do
00:32:24
it. You know what I mean? I got I did cartoons in Utah for 600 for a week and they the lady goes, "You got
00:32:30
to stay on my couch. We don't have some high fallutin." I'm like, "So I did it
00:32:35
cuz I was newer." And I did it. And then at the end she goes, "Can I send it to you?" And I was like, "Well, I kind of
00:32:44
need it. obviously I've been eating out of your [ __ ] uh mouse trap all week.
00:32:49
And so I go, "Yeah." And she never [ __ ] sent it. Wow. So I said she molested me.
00:32:57
She did, but I I played a club where they didn't pay you at the end. You would get it like a series of clubs up in Canada and Seattle
00:33:04
and they you get paid like a month later cuz you would take all the money. I don't like that. I don't like I don't want to wait one. The improvs are good
00:33:10
about like I used to do San Diego a lot. Irvine improvs end of the week sign sometimes give you
00:33:15
a little bump or bonus but I wasn't the draw it was like I was just on a show that filled up I
00:33:21
was middle when I got on I was a middle like Dana was a high flutin headliner so
00:33:27
whoops when you go on we can switch topics oh
00:33:32
you said to switch to that yeah yeah yeah I mean Dana as soon as you hit SNL
00:33:38
Mhm. That's it. Poverty no more, right? Um, started out 4,500 an episode for the
00:33:45
first season. So that but then that summer all of a sudden I was getting 25,000 to play at college.
00:33:52
Jesus Christ. If it's okay to bring up numbers in one year. In one season. One season. Well, the the [ __ ] was out
00:33:59
heavy. Yeah. The church [ __ ] Church [ __ ] Oh, the church. Yeah. Yeah. I went to I I drove to a gig in
00:34:04
Connecticut and for the only time it happened was Church lay here tonight. Didn't say my name for the theater.
00:34:10
Did you have to do the [ __ ] garb and all? Well, I was in it often. Yeah. I showed up in it. No, I didn't wear the dress.
00:34:15
I don't wear the dress unless they pay me a lot. Wow. Wow. I haven't heard the word garb since Theo said, "Is that traditional garb to you
00:34:22
in bus boys?" I'm like, "What are you saying?" I didn't understand until I saw the dailies. I go, "Yeah, Theo always says something slightly
00:34:29
different." Yeah. Yeah. I I feel like you're wearing How fast I mean are you guys editing the movie? I I'm sorry. I don't know. He's
00:34:36
heard about it too much, but we've we did it. We talked to Tim yesterday, Tim Dylan, who's got a big part in. And uh
00:34:42
he goes, "Hi, what's going on?" He goes, "Is a clip going to come out? Is a photo
00:34:49
something that we can just say we're in a movie?" Can I just ask whatever you want? Can I just ask how are you feeling about
00:34:56
it? I think it's good question. I think it's funny. I think what we did was funny and it's just a matter of I've
00:35:03
never had no help. Like it's just me and Theo. So we have him and we have another guy
00:35:09
that put in a little bit of money but he's one of Theo's buddies. So we are Theo once the movie's over. We both go
00:35:15
on the road. So now I would usually go have someone edit it and then go sit with them
00:35:20
if I even had that privilege. Not all movies I do, not many people do. You go in there, you go, "Hey, do this." And
00:35:25
you go through the takes. It's arduous, long, painstaking work. Me and Theo aren't in the same spot and the editor's
00:35:32
in New York. So the ed that they did director's cut, then we looked at now we're trying to shape. There's no
00:35:37
special effects. So Theo was on the road. So now we got him involved. So he's got to do his. I do mine. We go
00:35:43
back and forth. So we then we're going to show it to people. We're almost that that part. Okay. You heard the story. Wake up,
00:35:48
grandpa. Well, this this I did I do need an I'm the senior here. I space out.
00:35:54
I owe it to Bobby because he's in it. And so he drove all the way. We were in the valley one scene on time.
00:35:59
Well, I think it was a good move when you had Well, here's we're going to shoot the movie here now. Now we're both going to go on a global tour for so dumb
00:36:07
then come back. So well, he hasn't done a movie and I said we we should be in the same room. Yeah. And he's like, "Well, I got to do this."
00:36:13
And he's got his own podcast. So we're getting closer. It's just slower. Meanwhile, I did that Jonah Hill movie a
00:36:19
year ago. That's not going to be out till end of the year probably. And so it was a full year already. But this should go
00:36:24
faster because it's smaller. That was a bigger Well, Bobby and I'll put your name in there. We're available to put some eyes
00:36:31
on it. Yeah, I know. I want to show it. I would show it to you guys just to say,
00:36:36
"What do you think? Does it make sense?" We just want to show it from a crowd of 20 people to say, "Yeah, what do you not understand? What do you
00:36:42
like? What you don't like?" And then listen, it's not [ __ ] Can I Can I Can I talk to you guys about something confront controversial? A
00:36:49
little confrontational. Why Why are your eyes like this? I don't like it already, but
00:36:55
I don't It has nothing to do with you. Okay, good. No, go ahead. I want I want You're are setting this up beautifully.

I think one line was for sure not enough for you. And it was a straight line and it was just everyone's excitement to
00:40:09
have you in the movie. And we should have said we got to give Bobby more of a Bobby thing to do. That's funny where
00:40:15
you can really get into it because that was the problem. Go ahead. God bless you and take care. Okay. And that's okay. Okay.
00:40:20
So I go there, Dana. Okay. Tell I want to hear this. All right. So Dana I go right the line is like welcome to Alawani Hotel or
00:40:27

00:40:44
part of the problem. Okay, so here's the thing. What? I still What is going on here? I'll tell you what's going. All right,
00:40:50
so I'm on set. Feeling good. It's outside. You know what I mean? Hawaii. Hawaii, right?
00:40:57
Not Not only Hawaii, but Wowski, Lauren, everyone on the set is a friend of mine,

00:41:09
Right. Welcome to all. Right. Then I hear stop from from video village.
00:41:15
Video village. It's Sandler who never comes. Who never comes?
00:41:20
Yeah. He's not even He's not He doesn't never come, but he was just there. What? Okay. Finish one line and he jumps up.
00:41:26
Wait, he comes up. Comes up and he goes, "Hey, what are you doing?" And I go, "Oh, hey,
00:41:33
Adam." He goes, "What are you doing?" Not how are you doing? What are you
00:41:38
doing? What are you doing? Um, yeah. And I go, he goes, "Yeah, it's more natural.
00:41:44
Do more natural or something." Right. So, I go, "Oh, I thought, okay, action
00:41:49
again." I do it again. Stop. He comes back. Right.
00:41:54
This can't be true. Or now me and me and Lauren start laughing because it's so tense and weird. And Adam wasn't being
00:42:01
mean. It was just it got tense because Bobby kept nervously missing it by a hair and then they go stop and we're
00:42:07
like they stop again. I go okay on this one just normal just hear them yelling
00:42:14
and we all start going oh my god cuz everyone's so like tired. Also Sandler's kids are in the scene
00:42:19
making it work. The whole family shaving. That's why he was there. He
00:42:24
didn't want to see in the movie. Yeah. Okay. So, everyone's very nice. But Adam was
00:42:30
just like, "Just say it straight." And then it was so matter of fact. And that's why we started laughing because
00:42:36
we're like, every time he said it, I'm like, "Is that the one?" And it was like, "Nope." Because then he comes out and goes,
00:42:41
"Hey, um, what are you doing?" Again, he goes, "Just try one." Like,
00:42:47
now, okay, check this out now. Right. So hilarious. Hawaii outside, right? Yeah. It's Niagara Falls now. All the
00:42:54
makeup is drugged up. You know, I am having a panic attack, right? Because in my mind, I'm like, I'm
00:43:01
[ __ ] you know, Daniel D. Lewising this thing. Yeah. What is the line again?
00:43:08
I just want to I want to walk through this. What is the [ __ ] line? We come in the hotel. What is it? What
00:43:14
is the line? Wait, hold on. Hold on. Literally, hold on. Hold on. I don't even know what the line is. Hello, Mr. Tim and Tim
00:43:20

00:43:34
Um yeah, here's your registration. Perfect. That's what I did. Where were you? Where were you? Um so we
00:43:42
go in and Lauren argues with the kids first. They go like this. You were out there swimming with the turtles. She goes, "Gay, [ __ ] you." To Adam's kids.
00:43:49
That was her line. It was hysterical. He's screaming. Then weaha. We walk up and we're with uh Watowski and Sarah and
00:43:57
we're they're in robes and we all come up to Bobby and I'm telling you in your defense, one line is harder than doing a
00:44:04
whole scene. Cuz what happens when you're doing one line all you just focus is the whole time when you're watching the scene, all you're doing is thinking
00:44:09
about that one line and you're running it through your mind 10,000 times. Welcome to the hotel. Welcome to the
00:44:14
hotel. Mr. Russ, Mr. Russ torture. Yeah. Yeah. But don't you didn't you ask for a line
00:44:21
reading? I'm sorry. But didn't you ask? That's so embarrassing. You've asked for that. Oh, I How do you want me to say it? Just
00:44:26
say I'm not. Just tell me how. He did do it. Oh, okay. But at one point, I remember David going like this cuz Adam's talking to me like
00:44:33
this, but I see David behind Adam. Behind. And this is when you go. You go like this. You go,
00:44:39
"Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry." Yeah. I was worried about Yeah. You felt, you know, and that's why there was
00:44:46
so much love. No, we're friends. Yeah. Yeah. There was so much love there. But check here's the good news.
00:44:51
Okay. Can I tell you the good news? I want to hear the I want some happiness now. So when I'm wrapped, right, I went to
00:44:57
myself. I go, how high up is this hotel so I can jump off? You know what I mean? Or you No, there was like suicide. You
00:45:02
know what I mean? You're right. Or you maybe I'll relapse. That's I was sober at the time, you know what I mean? So maybe, you know, seven years. I could
00:45:09
relapse. Yeah. There was so many different thoughts in my mind. Welcome to the Awani Hotel. May I help
00:45:14
you? I mean, [ __ ] Where were you? Yeah. Yeah. Where were you? could have done. You're drenched in sweat. All the
00:45:19
makeup's tearing down. He's going, "I'm so sorry." Yeah. Yeah. That's better than anything in the
00:45:25
movie. That's the most dramatiest thing, right? That is Here's the good news. Okay. There's more good news. All right.
00:45:30
Oh, it it gets good. Yeah. So, then I go to um the hotel, the Aloha
00:45:36
Halani Hotel. It's not the name because it's not never I never heard of. Okay. Whatever the [ __ ] name is.
00:45:42
Yeah. Yeah. You're just putting a bunch of Just yes. And it just Yes. Okay. All right.
00:45:49
He's being so extra right now. What is wrong with you right now? You're being so I love you so much. Right. So,
00:45:54
I feel for him. Go ahead. Yeah. So, now here's the good news, Dana. Okay. I'm at there's a wanton bar.
00:46:02
All they have is wanttons. Is that all you eat? He has an app for it.
00:46:13
So, so you go to a top dramatic pause.
00:46:19
Sorry, Blondie. Okay, Skinny. And there's like coffee. It's okay.
00:46:26
Take it easy, Skinny Bonnie. God damn it. You want to take a break? Out of nowhere. No, I'm fine. Out of nowhere. Anyway. Anyway, thank you so
00:46:34
much. So, I'm at this wanton bar. Like, can I have some wontons, please?
00:46:40
Right. They gave me a bowl of wanttons, right? And I don't even want to eat them. Like, I'm just so sad.
00:46:46
So, there's another Korean guy next to me. What? Huh? I thought that's what he said to
00:46:51
you.
00:46:57
That's what he goes. Ah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Cuz he's eating one ton. No. Oh. So, no. He was in the scene previous to you. He
00:47:04
had one line. Okay. Go ahead. So, he goes, "Hey." He go I go, "Hey." And he was sitting next to a guy I was
00:47:11
familiar with. His name is Zack Knighton. He's an actor. Okay. And back when I was on Matt TV. What are
00:47:17
you doing your hands like this? I think is this not the night we went to dinner at Nou? No, it wasn't.
00:47:23
Okay. Okay. We've been to many noos though in Hawaii. Yes. And you remember we went to dinner?
00:47:28
Yes. And someone came and talked to us. Yes. Okay. It said that. Okay. Okay. So anyway, um, so Zach Knight is
00:47:36
sitting. So this Asian guy looks just like me, too. Um, big-headed Koreans and we're the
00:47:42
best kind. Yep. Yeah. I'm not going to cosign any of this stuff cuz you have the Steven Yun Koreans.
00:47:48
You know what I mean? Like leading man, but then you get the big-headed and we're we're the coal miners of the business.
00:47:54
Coal miner. That's funny. Yeah. Yeah. Like you know, in Korea, I think I've been a coal miner. Is this part of your standard? That's
00:48:00
not my stand. It should be. No, it's not. Anyway, so he was a big-headed Korean.
00:48:05
Okay. And he goes, "Hey, my name is Jean." I go, "I'm I met you," which I didn't remember. He goes, "I met you at Earth
00:48:12
Bar and you were talking about my jeans. I'm really big into raw denim. Let's move on." And I go, "Oh," and he
00:48:17
goes, "I'm the executive producer of Magnum PI." That's what he says to me. So I go,
00:48:23
"Oh." And he goes, "Let me write you a part." Right. So I go, "Please know more than one line."
00:48:29
Yeah. He go he wrote me over the next three or four years. Oh, that's right. I did 15 episodes of that thing. He
00:48:36
wrote me like I was number one on the call sheet like storylines.
00:48:41
It was the He's my best friend now. Jane, right? We hang out. You've met Jane. We've gone to Hawaii. I mean, he
00:48:47
is one of my best friends. I would have never met him if I hadn't done the wrong message with that nightmare that you put
00:48:53
me through. Okay. And um you know, and so you know, the moral of the story is this. Yes.
00:48:59
Sometimes when you say yes, right, great things can happen. Yeah. Sometimes no means yes.
00:49:05
Yeah. Is that it? No. That I don't think that's a win. Sometimes you lose for winning.
00:49:11
Yeah. Sometimes sometimes you win for losing, but sometimes you lose for winning. Sometimes, you know, you don't know why
00:49:17
you're somewhere. Some things happen for a reason. Some things There we go.
00:49:22
It's all in God's hands. Yeah, I think that's better. Yeah. Yeah. You're in God's hands. close.
00:49:29
You're pretty close. Something pretty close. But um that experience, you know what I
00:49:34
mean? And and and just want to reiterate that, you know, I mean um Adam and his whole
00:49:41
family has been very gracious to me. Yeah. And I love them very much and I am in happy uh Madison one or two.
00:49:49
Yeah. Yeah. And I know Sandler, he was he he would have been very gentle, almost whispery
00:49:55
about he was very gentle about it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, if he just pictures it in his head a certain way and there's
00:50:01
I get it. And when I did when I did my wig for grown-ups, I walked in so excited, long
00:50:06
wig and everyone was thinking it's so funny the way that we got there and he's with his coffee same thing and he goes,
00:50:12
"Is this the wig you want?" And I go, "Yeah." And he goes, "I don't like it." And everyone was like, "What?" I go, "Isn't this funny?" Cuz I have a guy
00:50:18
like this long hair. He thinks from the 80s. And he goes, "No, no, shorten it." And I go back and cut it and cut it. I mean,
00:50:24
we kept doing it until it was basically where it was. Yeah. Yeah. You're supposed to be a good looking guy. I don't want that long. I Okay. So,
00:50:31
but in his head, he pictures it and it's his movie. And that's that's the fun thing. I mean, that's the good
00:50:36
about at least you need someone calling the shots. And he's casual as a person when he's the executive producer. He'll be laying
00:50:43
on a couch, have a leg of turkey, and people come in. Oh, I don't think so. He is a good He's very decisive.
00:50:50
He's just very casual, but decisive. I'm not decisive. So, I would uh I actually thought you were doing fine.
00:50:56
Oh, yeah. I mean, he's the nice guy. I just wanted to share that story with you and I've never confronted you about
00:51:03
did you think that the actual performance was bad and what you were saying to me. What I got was it could have been
00:51:10
better. No, I got that. It was a little nerve-wracking to hit you with all of us do a whole scene and we come up and you
00:51:16
just have to say one line and get us out of it. Yeah. And we get all the way to that part and it would stop again. It was another good point was is that
00:51:22
when you guys were all jumping around having fun and you know you know that I'm a goofy
00:51:28
guy. Yeah. Right. I'm silly Billy baby. You know what I mean? You had to play straight man. Yeah. And and whenever I have to play
00:51:34
something straight it feels like I'm being You know what I mean? You're you're tied down. What?
00:51:40
I'm sorry. What point in the movie did that was that about Was it 30 or 40 minutes in? Yeah. Yeah.
00:51:46
So, I think I only Oh, never mind. Oh, you you switched it off at 15.
00:51:51
No, I'm just forget what I just said. There was at a certain point I just Do you watch each other each other's
00:51:57
stuff or No, I think so. I've seen most pretty much I saw Joe Dirt. I saw Grown-Ups.
00:52:03
Yeah. Yeah. grown-ups too didn't quite do it for me, but um I think I've seen
00:52:09
most of your stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Uh and I've seen I was there for five years overlapping with them SNL. So
00:52:14
I saw Yeah, we worked for five years. I saw him kill from like 10 ft away.
00:52:20
Did you guys get along instantly or was there competitiveness? No. The sad part was no one was
00:52:26
competitive with me because I wasn't competing with them really. So, they were like nice to me and I'm like, I
00:52:31
should have been offended because I wasn't a threat to anyone. That's rude.
00:52:36
Oh, yeah. You know what I mean? Like, you see a comic and you go, "Yeah, you can go before me." Yeah. And they go, "I won't curse." And you
00:52:42
go, "Do whatever you want." Yeah. I don't give a [ __ ] All right. I can follow you. Put it this way. I used to call him the junior varsity. And Dennis would come
00:52:48
in, Dennis Miller, and they would beg him. It would be, you know, you and Rock and and Farley in the in this the
00:52:54
dressing room. They were sharing an 8H. and Dennis would just rip everyone suddenly. Okay, the Carfy thing's not
00:53:01
working right now or whatever. He go one at a time. But the junior varsity, when you look at them, Sandler,
00:53:08
Chris Rock, what's your name again? Yeah. Did very well, but they were sort of
00:53:13
quas understudies of me and Phil and John, right? Nean in a way. And then we meshed really
00:53:20
well. And I think I've said this before, I think 90 to93 where we had these guys plus we still had the guys from ' 86
00:53:26
there we were very potent. What a powerful group because when you read um I read Life from New York,
00:53:33
right? And you read some of the nightmarish stories that are in it, right? Was were those elements in your class?
00:53:40
Probably not then because it felt like a healthy No, they were all there. There was tension and competitiveness
00:53:45
and all that stuff. For sure. For sure. Yeah. I mean, but in a friendly way.
00:53:51
Love it. And I decided to make a joke out of it, so we just teased each other the entire time.
00:53:56
The idea of being envious, I would say I was in three sketches tonight. Stuff like that. And John, of course, loved
00:54:02
it. He leaves too many voicemails and I don't know what to do. He loves you. Is he Is he stalking you? No, but he
00:54:08
leaves so many voicemails and he pretends, you know, why do you have to be so Chinese and and and these
00:54:15
kind of, you know, I mean, nobody loves comedians, too. Foul stuff
00:54:21
behind the scenes because we try to shock each other. He's so funny. But anyway, I love the man. Yeah. But so there so there was teasing and
00:54:28
stuff going on. Um Phil Hardman you couldn't compete. There
00:54:33
was no competition because Phil was so such a savant that he was reading other
00:54:39
things in the magazines about motorboats and stuff, you know, fishing and then they call him in. He had 10 sketches and
00:54:45
he just hit it perfect and you go back and just he'd paint and he was the only one pretty much relaxed at the whole place.
00:54:52
Well, he was he'd done 20 years like 15 years at Groundlings. He was like a superstar at Groundlings. He had a good
00:54:57
life. He didn't really even care if he got on SNL. He came in as a writer. He worked with Peewee Herman on uh
00:55:05
he adventure. Yeah, he co-wrote that movie. Paging Mr. Herman. That's how you did your part.
00:55:10
Paging Mr. Herman. Did you see that part of the movie? Do you know who Peewee Herman is? Yeah. Paul Ruins.
00:55:16
Okay. Yeah. All right. Um I have a few questions before we got to get rid of you. Hold on. Okay. How long does this go? I mean, I I
00:55:22
would We don't even We're not like you guys. Three hours. We're not Rogan. How long do you do? We do about 45 maybe an hour.
00:55:28
Okay. How's it How long is it so far? 45. There's no way it's 45 already. Is it?
00:55:33
Is that 50 minutes already? Yeah. Okay, that's fun. See, because you're having fun. Well, I want to keep going and drive all
00:55:38
the way. Okay, I have a question for you for nothing. You know what I mean? It's easy. I have three questions. First of all, when we were we sometimes were on the
00:55:44
same show. We had a good lineup the other night at the comedy store,
00:55:49
didn't we? Were you on it? What? Give it the line. No. What was it? Did you say was I on it? No. What was it?
00:55:54
I'm just saying. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You and I were Yo, they'll take a photo. Yeah. They took a photo of us. Check your diary. Okay, that Yeah. So,
00:56:00
the last diary today, David halfhugged me and then rubbed his fingers all over my
00:56:06
Montlair. So, I saying that it was fun the other night cuz I see you there about once every two weeks at the comedy store. It
00:56:13
was Whitney, maybe Tim Dylan. Like, sometimes they have a great lineup. It's fun to watch. Yeah. Okay, that was one not question. Oh, you
00:56:20
know what? Because I because when I was leaving, I sat and watched you and a you had new stuff. You
00:56:27
always say you don't have new stuff. You have new stuff. Well, I'm doing a special so I have to get crank it out. Oh, when is your special? It's January. I'm so stressed out about
00:56:33
what what platform? Hulu. Okay. Um, Hulu. Well, we can Some people have Hulu.
00:56:39
All right. Listen. No, you can get it. Well, I'm just thinking you're stressed out. I mean, do you understand that
00:56:44
you're Bobby Lee? Do you get Do you understand you're famous? I don't. I just want
00:56:49
Number one, I'm not. Number one, I'm not. That's part of your charm. No. No. Can I tell you? Can I lean
00:56:54
forward again? Yeah. Whenever you say stuff like that, I I I get kind of emotional and stuff. All right. There's two types of different kinds of
00:57:01
fame. Yeah. Can we at least agree with that? Yeah. Everyone in the room. Yeah. Okay.
00:57:07
I'm going to explain it to you. Yeah. Well, I'm not agreeing. What? I'm not agreeing. You're not agreeing. And may I explain
00:57:13
to you gently then? Yes. Okay. Gently. So, there's two types of fame. Okay. There's Hollywood fame, right? where um
00:57:20
the type you have and um whatever you were doing earlier.
00:57:25
Yeah, podcasting. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then there's internet fame. I think I'm in sort of in the middle
00:57:31
there. I think I've I've kind of gone back and forth. I'm sort of middle TV from the past. But me and Andrew Santino, my other
00:57:37
podcast, Bad Friends, check it out. Very good podcast. Yeah. Going to cut that off. I did. Bad friends. I love it. Yeah. I
00:57:43
did. Yeah. So bad. So me and Andrew complain a lot about because we came to LA in the, you know, I mean, early
00:57:50
2000s, '9s, right? And we still have dreams of doing Hollywood
00:57:56
and because, you know, we do internet as well. It doesn't feel like our dreams
00:58:03
were accomplished, but they have been and and and it's done. It's in fact, we're almost better off having
00:58:09
our own thing control. So, it's just it's I guess Thank you. I know what you're saying. By the way, by the way,
00:58:15
Burke Chrysler said the exact same thing on this podcast. Essentially the same thing in the just that your age group
00:58:22
and the romance of that. And some people don't want to. They used to go come here to do standup to get a sitcom or a movie. And now people go
00:58:29
come here to do standup and just do stand up the rest of your life. No one's even trying to get those other things. And it's not as much money and not as
00:58:36
maybe what it was. There's not as many. So when you're driving down the road and you're like you see that billboard zippy
00:58:41
the kids. I don't I'm just like Zippy the king, right? And some guy, you know, some open micro guy that you did back in
00:58:47
the day is like zipping out, right? And he's zipping through the sky, you know what I mean? And and you're you're like and you go, "Oh,
00:58:53
I want to be zippy." Yeah, it's fun. That's all. I think this is so much better. Also, you're doing great.
00:58:58
Although, there was excitement being on the Tonight Show with the pressure, all that. I did Leno, but anyway, let's move on.
00:59:04
And it would be a game changer. Well, our next guest here, you know, Bobby Le been at the comedy store, you
00:59:10
know, people having a good time. Please, welcome. First time he on the night show, you know, Bobby, we had we had a a
00:59:16
viewer question. Okay. Roughly how many pubes do you have? Under a thousand or over?
00:59:21
It's interesting. I have none now. That's interesting. It's interesting cuz I have none now. That's true. Okay.
00:59:27
Okay. Um we the other night had a meal there. I I never eat there before and they have free razors back there
00:59:34
and so I took all five razors. I dipped him in the little little bucket and I went had I went at it and I even
00:59:41
did the, you know what I mean? And I went, you know, the mirror and I did the whole thing. At where?
00:59:46
Clip this. Clip this. We spot. Um,
00:59:51
what's we spot? If we're in there naked, we spot. If if we're in there naked ever, dude, don't say hi. It's weird.
00:59:57
It's so [ __ ] weird. It's a a male. Wait, which brings my next question. He
01:00:02
leans into the audience. He goes, "What's up, brother?" He says he does a little crowd work and then he leaned over. He goes, "You're cute, dude." And he kissed him on the lips when I was in
01:00:09
the back of the room. Okay. I don't I don't know if that was a question, but No, it was an observation.
01:00:14
Seems more like an interrogation and I was there a question. You were
01:00:20
No, it says here, "Oh, I understand." No, I was giving you compliment that you were at the the comedy store and you do
01:00:26
well and I would say in my life when I run around people ask me the most for tickets for
01:00:34
you or Theo. So if they say, "Hey, Bobby is going on." I had someone call me and say, "Can
01:00:39
you get me into the comedy store?" And I go, "Oh, I'm not there." They go, "No, I know Bobb's there. Can you get me in?"
01:00:45
I'm like, "Call somebody to get you in to see this [ __ ] idiot?" No offense. I've done it for you. Okay, good. That's not a put down [ __ ]
01:00:52
So you're very charming. So when you guys you guys do your show,
01:00:58
it's good. People really like they I don't know why they gravitate to you, but they do. We see. Do you do you look at the
01:01:04
charts, Bobby? Do you ever look at the charts? The podcast. I don't I don't because you know I think
01:01:09
that it's I'm just going to probably do it until I can't do it anymore. Right. Why would you stop doing it? Unless it changes. We don't know what
01:01:15
the It's pretty easy. You get to sleep till 3. Yeah. I mean, and then you just roll around and mumble on your podcast. It's
01:01:21
not a bad life. You roll down the store. What about you guys? You guys enjoy doing this? No, I hate repeating myself. Like stand
01:01:29
up. The toughest part for me is we we've managed to, you know, make a
01:01:34
truce and share the stage. No, we get along fine. But um you know repeating
01:01:39
yourself in standup is work, but this is all being live in the moment
01:01:44
maybe with a few notes is is fun because it's happening in real time. That's
01:01:50
the worst things I've asked you were notes. It's better. It's better to just talk. Well, I think so. Yeah.
01:01:55
Yeah. It's better to just But it's hard. Do you have any prep? Like when I came in, do you have any prep? No.
01:02:01
No. Oh, yeah. You weren't even there when I came in. Well, this is what I asked Andrew when I went Oh, sorry. When I went in when I
01:02:06
went in to do the party and I weren't supposed to tell the story. Well, you went in with the I went to see bad friends and I go,
01:02:12
I couldn't get on the main. I says I says to him, I says I says, all right, we're doing it one day. Do you
01:02:18
want to hear this? I'm here. And I go, okay, I know what you're going to bring.
01:02:24
[ __ ] you. I apologize. There's a lot of Can I say this? Do you want to hear this? There's a lot of that today. Go ahead. I want to hear this.
01:02:30
No, I was doing Bad Friends and the night before uh he says he texts me and he says,
01:02:36
"Hey, can you not do it today? Do you mind doing it tomorrow? We could do it." I go, "I have a flight. I could do
01:02:42
probably one to two, let's say." He says, "Great. Thank you. That really helps me." I get there 12:30. In case
01:02:50
you were a little early today, which is very sweet. In case they're ready, let's knock it out. I see Andrew and he's like
01:02:55
this. I go, "What?" He goes, "He's not here." And I go, "Oh, I can wait." And he goes, "Uh, I don't know when he'll be
01:03:02
here." And I go, "Oh, I'm sure it's fine." And then the other guys that work there, your little, you know, the interns, they go, "Uh, what? Why are you
01:03:10
so sad during this story?" I'm listening this face. I've never listened that long in my
01:03:15
life. I always talk. I had a fake listening face, too. Yeah, you did, right?
01:03:20
You know what? You have a very good fake listening face. I know. I know. Watch this one.
01:03:26
Really good. And I don't have a ch I'm listening to you listen. Yeah. Yeah.
01:03:31
I had that finish. It's a little judgy. Finish story. No,
01:03:37
it's got 25 more minutes. I'm a third way through it. So anyway, story was he was a little
01:03:43
late and then he came in. Yeah. Yeah. But it was a fun 30 minutes late. Yeah. I have a question. Dana would have hit the [ __ ] roof.
01:03:50
Dana does not play games. Yeah. I'm pretty uptight most of the time. Yeah. Um, so when you I got to know you
01:03:57
guys from clips, right? I mean, YouTube clips initially. I know a clip.
01:04:02
And so I see Andrew doing the most racist thing ever of a white guy doing like like crazy over the top.
01:04:09
And then you do the thousand yard stare. Yeah. And it it it's instantly
01:04:16
hilarious. I don't know what that combo of him being that foul and ridiculous
01:04:22
and then that face. Do you know how funny that is or did it start out serious?
01:04:27
No, it it's the instinct of that. Yeah. The stillness of it, you know, staring, you know, I mean, it's like,
01:04:33
you know, I think Theo and I had a thing where um he said something. I forgot what it was, but it was so ridiculous.
01:04:39
So, you just kind of look at him for a good 7 seconds to let it sit.
01:04:45
You know what I mean? Yeah. And then he starts to ridiculous that really and you just you don't count your mind,
01:04:51
but it's an instinctual thing. You know how to [ __ ] do it, guys. What the [ __ ] are you talking about? It works. But I've never seen something
01:04:56
that potent where the bow is going back with Andrew and then and then to the
01:05:02
release of someone who's clearly just saying, "Did I just see that?" It's like the stillness of it
01:05:07
getting a huge bit like Charlie Chap. Yeah. Yeah.
01:05:13
Well, Bobby, thank you. And you are you look great. You you're you talk great.
01:05:18
We uh you look great and you cut your hair and you honestly look 10 years younger. I don't know how you look
01:05:24
great. And uh anything else? Can I plug some things or not? Yeah, plug some things. Let's go plug it all.
01:05:29
Uh you'll be at the Comedy Store one night. No. Well, so I mean eventually I'm going to
01:05:34
do So if you check out my Hulu special when it comes out. Do you have a title? Yeah, it's I'm going to call it Finally.
01:05:41
Oh, that's good. Do you know why? I've never done one before. Oh, I've never done a special before.
01:05:46
Yeah. Where are you going to shoot it? San Diego Balboa Theater. Did you not do it yet? Okay. I do in January, I said.
01:05:52
Oh, you haven't done it yet. And then Oh, I thought it comes out in January. No, I'm going to do it in January
01:05:57
cuz I did mine. They they hold it for a while. So, mine will come out in three years. They do take a while to come out.
01:06:03
Okay. Well, it's going to come out eventually. Well, that's Amazon Prime. He's on Hulu, which is But Hulu sometimes holds them, too.
01:06:08
What's better? Hulu. Hulu's a slightly bigger deal. I'll talk to Amazon Prime.
01:06:14
Yeah. Anyone get on? Look what you've started. Infighting.
01:06:20
You've seen Dandelion. What? You've Oh, never mind. My favorite movie in the world. Is it a movie? His special is called Dandelion. What do
01:06:27
you think of the time? It's so good. Dandelion's great. Yeah, it was a great special. I saw it three times. Is it out? I'm giving you this. Is it out?
01:06:33
A very good listening space. I'm giving you the stare down. Oh, you are. You know, I watch you so much that I
01:06:39
don't think I need to sit down. There you go. Thank you. There we go. Does either of you ever sit down for a big heap of night of standup specials?
01:06:46
Cuz usually, you know how the you know the rabbit gets out of the hat. I'm looking for I had one last question, but could I ask
01:06:51
him a question? How come you're never around the clubs? Yeah. Why don't you do a set over there? Because there's a lot of reasons, but
01:06:59
for me, I never really liked group shows because when comedians go on and unless
01:07:06
they're really good friends, like I could go on a group show with you guys, but generally all after a while it's
01:07:11
like either staff or people walk back say, "I thought you were one of the best ones out there tonight."
01:07:17
Um, or it becomes a comedy competition. You know who killed last night? You know, and it's supposed to be it's
01:07:23
supposed to be like open mic and I'm going to try new material. Oh, everyone throws that away and you know, right? It's hard to go bomb. It's hard
01:07:30
to bomb when some of your friends are in the room. But actually, usually when we're back in the green room, nobody
01:07:36
really leaves to go watch somebody. It's usually everyone bullshits. Yes. They come back and you think, "Oh, no."
01:07:41
They all watch and judge and they're like, they don't even know you're on or not. So, Dana, when you were on the road, do you two Because do you do new jokes in
01:07:48
front of that many people? Yeah. Where do you practice? Yeah. Where do you practice? If I do if I go six months without doing it, if I
01:07:55
do two or three sets, I feel pretty good. But the first set's kind of rough after six months of not doing it.
01:08:01
Okay. So, you do two or three? Yeah. Well, I just sort of put down my sword at a certain while. I just went
01:08:07
um I was at one point kind of playing a different game like doing regular standup. So, now I've kind of tabled that.
01:08:14
So, I'm just going to do Trump or Biden or Scarface and I'll go for 10 minutes,
01:08:20
15 minutes. Ah, I'm just going to ride the wave of what I really like to do. Rather than try to be a standup.
01:08:26
Yeah, but it was a clip of yours. It was Exactly. But there was a clip of yours. I forgot what the bit was about
01:08:32
rockets or something. It had something to do with space or something, but it was a it was I'm being real. It was a
01:08:38
stand-up joke that was so good. And I thought I thought to myself, "Wow, that guy is so good. He's always been
01:08:44
good." Yeah. Yeah. And he doesn't do it. Then we do a gig together. I think he's 45 minutes or say it again. I thought this is done now.
01:08:50
We are. But we're cutting all this now. This is all on the editing room floor.
01:08:55
Oh, it is? No, it doesn't matter. I mean, we can I don't feel like I'm on a podcast.
01:09:00
You're one of the fun ones because uh I think you're hilarious. I watch you.
01:09:05
I'll stop and watch your act when we're there. I always like talking to you. We talk sometimes we talk real in the back which is very odd.
01:09:11
That's okay. I like that. How do you How do you feel about that? I like it because here I'll tell you why I do this
01:09:17
with you specifically. Yeah. And don't take this the wrong way. I will. Okay. But there's something about you
01:09:25
that reminds me of me. Not that you're that much older than me.
01:09:30
But but a couple years, right? I know how old I am. I know. I know the gap, but I'm not going to
01:09:35
say. Yeah. Yeah. But you are a little older than me, right? And I I just some there are times, especially on specific
01:09:41
topics, like I want to know your advice. Yeah. Yeah. That's all. But we do have normal talks and I like it because I think
01:09:48
everyone thinks you're more of a goofball than me. So I think when you're on stage you're very funny and when
01:09:54
you're back there you do goofy stuff and you're a good laugher. You're a good laugher here. You laugh at us. Very sweet. And it's
01:10:00
always good to hang out with someone that laughs. Some comedians very tight with the laughs. You know, they don't laugh
01:10:05
anything you say. They just laugh at their own stuff or whatever. So you're fun to talk to. You're one of the
01:10:11
ones fun to talk to there. So if we we can just [ __ ] without trying and to
01:10:16
be funny, we just talk. It's fun. I like it. I think that you the skill set that you have to have no matter what kind of
01:10:22
comedian you are is you you have to have social IQ being able to read the room.
01:10:27
And so when you hang out with comedians, if you're at a party, it's really boring or some award thing and you're with
01:10:32
regular people and then a comedian comes in, it's always they know with the elephant in the room is that's the wrong
01:10:39
thing that person wore or this is the worst part of the show. They should have cut this. And so I find comedians just a
01:10:46
very enjoyable. There is a serious a bond. There is a bond that you have when you're in like a
01:10:53
regular place and then you see a comic walk in and you're like, "Oh, oh," you know what I mean? It's better now.
01:10:59
Like a showbiz party. You go run to the comics. Right. Right. I have a question about your uh you have a podcast called Tiger Town or
01:11:06
something, right? Tig Super Belly. And on that town, it's actually a good
01:11:11
How long do you tape those? How long is is a regular guest take or is it vary?
01:11:16
Well, we Well, it's been around for 10 years almost now. Um, we've done over 500 episodes. I know. I I did that one long time ago,
01:11:23
too. Yeah. And, uh, you did during co and I do it every Monday. What's great about Tiger Town,
01:11:29
[Laughter] Tiger Belly is on purpose. What's great about it is I've set it up
01:11:35
so that Mhm. I literally open my eyes, walk down the stairs, walk down the stairs, sit down. I don't
01:11:43
know who the guests are during the day. You're the worst. You know, literally like one time I I I sat down and then
01:11:50
Keratop walked down. I'm like, "Who Kerat Talks?" You know what I mean? Kerat Talk. And And you do it. You know what I mean?
01:11:55
And you have some backup now. You have about six people there. Here's that's another thing I've done is I've gotten two or three cast of
01:12:01
characters. Like you got to have the one that's kind of like, you know what I mean? And then you have the smart alley. It's like a
01:12:07
show. It's a full show. It's a show. So you don't have to carry the weight. You're the anchor, but you whatever you say
01:12:12
works, but you can wait for your spots. Yeah. Now, with bad friends is hard because that's where you have to be
01:12:20
completely because Andrew is so fast, right? And he will bust your balls on any turn, right? So, it's like,
01:12:27
you know what I mean? You know what I mean? And it's hard. Sometimes he he'll go right and I'll go
01:12:32
nothing. Right. Right. Nothing. Right. Nothing. Right. And then you're
01:12:38
like, "Oh, I'm" And then you start I'm drowning. Sometimes I go sometimes at the end of him I'll go we can't we can't
01:12:44
air that one the whole thing and we don't Oh really I because there's a backpack
01:12:50
but he's pretty good about people like that bail on the entire we have one episode okay
01:12:56
I didn't you could do that this try this this is fun Mhm. And we have one episode we did
01:13:02
early on where it was going so horribly we went, you know what? Let's do one twoour episode where we can say whatever
01:13:10
we want. I'm talking about, you know what I mean? Yeah. Anything. Foul
01:13:17
racist. Cancel. Every line was a cancel, right? It was so freaking We laughed so hard.
01:13:25
Yeah. Of course. It's the We laughed so hard. It's in a vault somewhere. I don't know who has it,
01:13:31
right? But if that goes out, uh oh, big trouble. Big trouble of Little China. I mean, yeah. I mean, but there is
01:13:37
something therapeutic about it. It was really freeing. Yeah. To be able to just say whatever you
01:13:43
wanted to say. You know what I mean? Yeah. It sounds like a blast. Stuff I do behind the scenes with
01:13:49
friends is funny. Really D is stuff.
01:13:54
That is the ricketiest piece of [ __ ] table. I'm sorry you're dealing with that. This is a You know what? And I I have to say what a beautiful place
01:14:02
this place. Well, cuz I went to your I've been to your other places. Oh, yeah. And I haven't been to this one.
01:14:07
You like this one? Well, you don't probably know. People don't know that you're shooting in your house. Is that what it is? No, I don't care. No, we know. Okay.
01:14:12
I thought you were joking. No, I'm being [ __ ] real. Okay. Your last place was nice, but this one
01:14:20
is good. Like that's all right. Right. Well, Bobby, I will take I'll take you
01:14:25
out for dinner soon. You're sometimes tough to get to dinner cuz I like to go early. But but uh
01:14:31
thanks for coming here. Don't eat at 5:30. It is a problem for nightclub comments. I don't think it's not 5:30. It's 6.
01:14:37
No, but I like to eat. I would eat at 5:30. Yeah, he likes you. Thanks for having me on, guys. That was fun.
01:14:43
Guys, we just walked Bobby Lee. Basically, we kicked him out because he could have gone on forever.
01:14:49
He's so goddamn hilarious. Um I love the awkwardness and funniness, but he's just we're all weird and it's
01:14:54
very funny. love the dude. Very sweet guy. Um he was just pulling out and I
01:15:00
said, "You should turn your car around." He goes, "No, I can back out." I go, "No." Well, there's a driveway that's a
01:15:06
little tricky. It get right at the gate. It gets small. And I go, "It's kind of hard." And he goes, "No, no, I'll just back out."
01:15:12
Heather and I went to the window and watched him just go just took his mirror off. And I was like, Anyway, um
01:15:18
I told him I'll do some spots at the store and work it off. But super funny.
01:15:24
You laugh, Dana. He's a great guy, right? Well, uh, as you saw, folks, he's the
01:15:30
kind of guest you don't need to do any prep. None. So, I did none because I'd seen I know enough of him.
01:15:35
I've seen him enough to know that, um, you know, he's he's just Well, first of all, there's very few comedians who have
01:15:42
a a real great laugh. Usually, we have a pretty good laugh, but we're the ones
01:15:47
trying to get the laugh. He's really funny and has an incredible laugh. So he brought all this energy right away. And
01:15:56
so that was just went by very fast. Like I was saying, he's a fun comic because he will laugh at your stuff and
01:16:02
he does go back and forth with you and it it keeps the balls in the air and when you're interviewing, he does so many
01:16:08
podcasts. He knows not to just sit there and give mousy little answers. He he right answers, tells a story, laughs, stands
01:16:15
up. That's what you want. So we I mean for a guy we've been talking about having him
01:16:20
in and I see him out and Santino's coming in soon. It's like we kind of waited on Theo and Tim Dylan and these
01:16:26
guys for this chunk of shows and uh they're going to be great. We have our bucket list, you know. I I would say I
01:16:32
learned from him and you did a little bit too, but it is kind of interesting like like maybe I shouldn't say this um
01:16:39
but I I feel like I just want to say this. I hope it's okay. Yeah, that's me illustrating what I was my
01:16:44
point was. very much. You lean in. Even you did it. I don't know if I should bring this up, but so when he did that
01:16:51
precursor, it it's good podcasting. Maybe I shouldn't really bring this up, but it was one line and sometimes people
01:16:58
that I see on podcast that don't do a lot of them or that aren't that interesting go they intentionally go,
01:17:05
I've never told you this story. I've never told the story on podcast before. And everyone's like and they're like,
01:17:10
"Anyway, here's my dumb story." And it's but they they want you to be like, "Where's the clip guy? Get ready. And
01:17:16
then they, you know, bore the [ __ ] out of you. I probably shouldn't say this. It's a really good one. Yeah, I'm gonna get in
01:17:22
trouble if I say this. And I have 10 of those in my pocket, but I I I have
01:17:28
followed my own advice. I like that we finally turned on the air conditioner after me and Bobby in this sweat shop. Uh
01:17:33
I sold this jean jacket and I took I took it off. I want t-shirt today because it was so hot and now I'm glad I
01:17:39
took it because it's so cold. But anyway, that was Bobby. I had a blast. Uh Dana had a blast. Right. Love.
01:17:45
And uh we'll look forward to the other guys like Santino, Tim, Theo. They're all coming in soon. And we're going to
01:17:51
get this uh wave of dudes. And and thanks for watching. We will actually have women too.
01:17:57
And some women. [Music]
