Welcome to the podcast is Bobby Lee and this is Tiger Belly and this is Colila and this is Gilbert
And this is our fourth one. Is it not it is our fourth one
That's a fact and it's really good to be back here in my own house because I only woke up two hours ago. Yeah, I
Woke up at what five yeah five actually I had to wake him up at five if she wouldn't walk woke me up
I would have it still sleepings
Sleepings forever. That's my favorite state of I love sleeping more than walking around and a lot and awake
That is not a lie
Sleepings my favorite state of mind even during sex
I
Don't sleep during sex. That's fucking weird, but um, you know, I made a mistake for skin. Yeah, what is it?
so
People who've listened to Bobby and I before know that we engage in very very
Let me say very
Awful display we do for play. I'm not for play role play
We do a lot of role play
But I feel like I made a mistake and I took it too far the other day the other day she did
But couldn't just say something FYI to just now we had sex when I woke up and she punched me in the face
And that's a fact and let's just
You hit me in the face. Well, we role played and the
Okay, so it's like, you know, it's like improv, right? What are the rules of improv?
It's not improv. What are the rules of the groundlings? I'm having sex
Yes, and right
Well, I started
With the character so the rule is if I come up with a character he has to follow
Right, he has to just accept it and then add information. Well today. I was the daughter of a white slave owner. Yeah, and
He was the slave that I was in love with
It's always a star-crossed lover type of situation like the other day
I he was an American he started off as being I'm an American soldier and I was a jihadi bride
Yeah, and I do things like will you give me green card?
Yeah, and then I'll be like every time and he'll say things like I know, you know, I would never have your terrorist
Baby, I would never put like, you know bullshit like that, but we really get into it. We're start always star-crossed lovers
No
But this is how she fucked it up. I went too far. I didn't I broke the rules of improv because I
He started off saying in improv. You should always agree. It's called. Yes, and okay
So let's just tell me give this people an example, you know, I mean
So if I have if I go to Gilbert, we're like performing we're an improv group and I go I got you a present
And I open up my hand and obviously there's nothing there, right?
But he has to tell me what it is. He can't say thanks for the shoe. Yeah. Yeah, he can't say there's nothing there
That's disagreeing and that's not adding. You know, I mean so anyway, right?
So he started off we were in the dark and he started off by saying
Are you my stepmom? Yeah, that's my favorite in any other given situation
I'm supposed to be like, yes, you know, I'm supposed to say yes
I'm visiting you in your dorm room blah blah blah blah blah, right? Like I just go into it like we always have
Normal stuff totally normal stuff, but this time around
I don't know what came over me and I forgot the rules and I said no
I'm not your stepmom and then he goes well, who are you?
Yeah, yeah, who are you and then I what she says go ahead and I said you're real mom and
then
His penis shriveled into the size of a little pygmy mouse
So fast and we had to turn the lights on and call it a day. We couldn't even continue to continue
We laughed so hard when she said I'm your real mom
I left so hard that we had couldn't continue. We just couldn't no that was so I made a mistake
And I apologize and I'm gonna go back to the whole star-crossed lovers thing because we do incest sometimes
No, but only if it's like stepbrother
No, we don't do incest now. Let me say something. Okay, we
Christian-based podcast and we don't do incest
I've done a lot of those things in my life though. My last girlfriend kind of just say one thing I did
Don't get upset. I'm not gonna bring up other relationships
but I was with this girl and that you know, she's cool and
She's cool. She took my penis and she was kind of like
Moving it around in a way that was not like against it's natural
Direction, she's not hold it. No, she was just I don't know what she was doing with it
And I said hey, it's not a joystick right not playing a game
That's what I said and then that fucked it up. She got mad. She's just like I don't want to do any more
Oh, what a fucking pussy. Yeah, I would be like this is a joystick and I'm the operator
And I am your mother
That's what I would do. That's never happened in a sexual situation with you with other no
I there are some people I just can't do it with like there are I've been really serious type of people where I know
the stuff that we do would send them into
An insane asylum that would be like they would just not deem it okay at all
It would make them crazy. It would be like no, she's a scary monster and she I'm gonna lock myself up forever
Yeah, I can't I can't do that
So after the whole
Sex thing earlier
We decided to okay, so a little backstory we were in Portland this past weekend and in Portland he had a
A few friends come to his shows like old friends one of which was a girl who he went to high school with
Right, so what we did today
He didn't he remembered who she was sort of but didn't couldn't like put a face
To what she looked like in high school, but she came to the show. She was really nice
She was a really nice lady and so we decided to go he pulled out his yearbook and
We started to look at old pictures and he would he would give me names. He would be highway high school. I graduate in 1990
And I just had a birthday, so I'm 44 years old
I know
Because I'm a I think I'm a dog and my life is different. He's Benjamin Bolton. No, actually, no, it's opposite of Benjamin
But yeah, so anyway, um, we looked at the yearbook my yearbook today. I'm highway high school
I'm a Titan and I told her to Google not Google but find people that yeah
I went to high school. So what he would do is he he read off names from his yearbook and I went on the internet and googled
Or Facebook everybody and he would be like, yeah, that's them. Oh, yeah, that's her now
I remember we did this for about 15 people. Yeah, and then he came across a name, which I'm not going to mention
And no, no, wait stop
We're not gonna incriminate anybody. I know but say listen, oh
All right, if you name a name, I am gonna fucking turn this thing off and number two, okay?
Easy because I did it as you know me. I'm because I want to reveal
Everything I want to reveal myself to you and I don't want to hide anything. Okay, so just go ahead
But easy does it okay?
So he comes across a name maybe the 15th name and he says can you find this guy on Facebook?
You know, so he gives me the name whatever. I'm like sure and I'm like, I can't find him and I'm like why like, you know
Like who was he to you because he gave me a description of who he was was he the tenant did he play tennis with you blah blah blah?
He goes no, he forced me to suck his dick
So Bobby has been raped
No, no, no, no, I don't okay. Let's let's backpedal now. You so you actually did it willingly
No, it's not like no, let's say listen listen here. All right
First of all, I don't think we should open our podcast with this but
Different story. That's already here. Okay. I want to say this. Okay
It's not as if he grabbed the back of my head and goes, you know, I mean and I was pulling away
He spent the night at my house, right and we got drunk
Because you know, I'm gonna recovering alcohol. So I've been drinking since I was a kid, right?
And then he goes suck my penis and I go, no, I don't want to
He goes do it man. I don't I remember saying I don't want to like maybe 20 times
But then eventually I did that's not how you you made it sound like right. I didn't want to do it
You know, it's right. It is right because I didn't want to do it
But but I did it anyway. No, so what you're saying is rape
So what you're saying is rape is a physical
Physicality has something to do with rape or is rape something like I don't want to do it
Well, no, he made if you felt threatened in any way, then I could see how okay, then it wasn't right
It was inappropriate. It wasn't right, but if he asked you 20 times and on the 20th time say yeah, okay
No, I didn't say it like yeah, okay. That's cool. Like we're going to Disneyland or something
You know, I mean, it was a horrific experience
And he's did you return the favor? Yes
Sweetie that you didn't get raped. I'm sorry. I was gonna share
I never said I got raped. I just I just told you the story. I go, you know, I didn't want to do it
I'm ashamed of it. No, you said to me earlier anyway, listen
I don't know why will you bring this up because of the fact that it's a private thing
You went on I don't give a shit me and said you and your cousin 69. That's different
No, because that's incest
Yeah, but it's family
It's family it's different
Okay, so I don't it will whoever this we didn't see his name. I hope you have a great life if you're listening
You know, I mean, it's not rape. I'm not gonna finally charges
There's like 10 guys listening like I wonder if that was me. No, you've done this more than once
I suspect that this wasn't a one-time. I'm gonna tell you
I'm gonna be completely honest right now and tell you how many penises I've
I've kissed and then let's just I'm gonna never talk about it again because it's like I'm just getting it off my chest
Let's see one
two
Three
Four kind of
What's five when what's five? How old were you the last time you kissed one? 14?
And you've never thought about it as a sexual act. You kind of just did it as like an activity
Listen to me right now. Okay. This is that
My I mean my family. I'm just gonna talk about the Lee family my family. Okay. We were highly sexual beings
Okay, almost perverse, you know, I you know and the thing is is this is that?
when I lived in Poway women didn't look at me like a sexual being they looked at me like I was an
Ottoman or a gazebo like an object like there's nothing, you know, I couldn't get any girls
I was always small and meeker than everybody else. And so and I didn't I've never done anything sober, right?
So when you when I have when I'm under the influence and I'm drinking and also because of my high sexual, you know
What do you call it? Libido drive, right?
That I think the connect both of them, you know, I mean the combination of both of them made me do these things now
I've been asked before am I gay and no, I'm not I don't think you're gay. I'm not I
Even if I was I wouldn't care. I would say I was I why would I why would I be ashamed of that?
There isn't a sell in me that thinks that you prefer men over me like that isn't a concern of mine that I don't
I don't prefer men in over anybody. I don't like dudes
You know, I mean, let's just put that out there. I don't like dude
If I did it would there would be nothing wrong with it, but I just don't right, you know, I mean
I mean when I say I want Tony Thornberg, you know, I mean and David Dukovney in the previous the podcast
I mean you see it, you know in a generalization. I'm just kind of being funny and also
And you know what there's an actually there's a lady who wrote about it
I think she wrote a book. I don't remember the title, but it's something along the lines of how to have
How to have sex with men without being gay and she her her argument is basically that you know
For women, we're allowed to be more fluid with our sexuality in terms of going either way either being
You know making out with girls hooking up with girls and then sort of just laughing about it and say oh
That was just part of the whole college experience and then never being considered
You know a lesbian right right or gay, but for men, it's like nope. You suck dick. You're gay
It's so definite and there isn't you aren't allowed men young men aren't allowed the wiggle room
And it has to be this idea that has to be continually swept under the rug and kept in secrecy
And I actually think I wanted you to tell this story because there isn't a part of me that thinks you are gay
But and I'm not here on the on the truth. This is that what I've said things on opening Anthony
I've said things on other podcasts and in my public life and in my personal life that these stories
You know, I've said the comics. I've said I don't have my parents know
Like the whole Andy thing my cousin my parents know that so my point is is that I don't I'm gonna shame
Don't anything that I've ever done, right? I'm just more worried about
The people that are like more conservative like for instance, I can be an example like someone like Brett Ernst
He's a comic, right? He's a friend of mine. I really like the guy. He's very funny
I think but I don't I would never told him that I you know, I mean did anything sexual with other dudes when I was a kid
Because I always feel like he's gonna take it in a weird way
Right, so there were some people I don't talk to like I would never say that to Bill Burr
I wouldn't say that to
You know a lot of comics, but then there's some comics I would like I delia
I could say it to I could say it to and I have said it in any like Moshe Kassher
Although like more of the hipster II kind of like, you know those kind of comics I can say it to but I can't say it to certain guys
But it's not because I just don't want them to think that you know, I mean anything bad of me, you know
But you would need a very long discussion. This is your your issue
It's like, you know what he says? Oh, I would never say that to another comic
That's because he literally opens with that. Hey, how are you? My name's Bobby
I used to suck my cousin's dick like that. That's the first thing that he says that's not a very shocking, but it's not
It's not the first thing, but it's also
Comedians, you know, especially in there if they're newer in comedy, right?
They just need to be trained
They do they need to be trained with a certain language and the language is you know, I you know
You're you are no longer allowed, right to be offended by things, you know, this is comedy
You know, there's a rule. There's no crying in comedy. I mean, there was a couple of female comics that have cried in front of me
They're done with me
That's right. You don't cry in comedy
Unless unless it's unless it's like my dad just died. Okay, I get that. Okay, but it's like if it's like I
I called in this week at so-and-so comedy club and I didn't get a spot
You know, I mean, then it's like oh then no longer don't no a longer talk to me because that also applies to anybody listening right now
We have disclaimer for this show. It's not for the onion skin
It's not for the cry babies the super sensitive or anybody that's part of the PC brigade and we put that out there in a description of
This show so if you're well, I don't know pussy. Don't listen. That's not even that
It's just I'm just gonna this podcast is I just want to say whatever I want to say and then that's it
If you like it, you know, I don't give a fuck. I'm not I don't think about stuff like that
I don't care people listen or not. Well, this is just this is my house. You know, I mean, this is my girlfriend
Gilbert's a new friend, but he's our new engineer and this is gonna be fine. I don't give a fuck
But anyway, I'm just I'm it's a relief for me to know that
You weren't raped because I was gonna get into my whole story about how I was molested because I was like, oh
You know, like maybe we can share war stories and stories about, you know
How we were abused in that way, but I'm I'm just relieved to know that it wasn't like that for you
Yeah, but I was molested. Oh, that's right. And the thing is is that yeah, and I don't feel
Any I don't feel bad about it or I don't feel
Even as a kid, I didn't feel resentful or weird about it. Lucky you there are some people who come out of it unscathed
I think that I came out of it relatively unscathed and I I took it as
you know, I was molested when I was eight years old by like my 16 year old male cousin and
I took it as
He was severely mentally ill. He has schizophrenia. He was also abusing meth at that time
so for me, it's more empathy and I take myself out of the situation and I
Can see it in a very objective way
But you know what a lot of people don't come out that way a lot of people really hold on to it in the and in a way
That really affects their lives
For a long long time negatively. So you and I, you know, we made it out. Okay. I think I was more scarred by my dad's violence
then then and also I you know when I was
Probably five or six years old
My mom told me a story of what happened to her in Korea. It was a brutal story. I mean, I'll just make a short, you know
But when she was a kid, she used to walk to school
You know me in Korea and I've been to the house where she lived
She they lived on like this mountaintop and there was like a gigantic kind of road that kind of went down this mountain, right?
So it's like it was pretty wicked terms. You know, I mean anyway
She used to walk her little sister of my aunt to school and this is during the Korean War. Okay
So one morning she walked to my aunt, maybe I don't know a half a mile or whatever from the house and
She forgot a book
So she told my aunt to stay, you know, I mean on the side, you know on the side of the road and she'll be right back
So she ran ran to the house
While my mom is running the house an American military truck was zipping around the corner. Okay, and
Ran over my aunt
So when my mom came back my aunt was split in half like one part of her body was on one side of the street the other
They like there was an entrails and she was very specific
About the story, right? And then I remember my uncle had told me that they he remembers because he was in high school at the time
He remembers taking rice bags and picking up his little sister and putting in these rice bags and the whole family
Because it was such a warrent or in country, you know, it was chaos that they had to bury the body
Right and then my mom later told me that she was haunted by her aunt's ghost for years
It was which is another story in itself, right?
But the thing is is that when she told me that when I was a kid, I went, holy shit. I think just subconsciously
You know, I mean deep down inside. I thought wow, this is a crazy world and it's a really violent world
It's a sad world. So when then when the guy would down syndrome less to me. I was like, this is nothing
Yeah, you know, I mean, I'm alive, you know, I mean my brother's still alive. Everything's good
You know, I mean gave you a little bit of perspective. Yeah, I mean, I think early on in life. I thought I
Knew that it was harsh
You mean that's why when people like parents are trying to protect them kids about they protect their kids from swearing or
You know, I mean crazy shit on TV. I don't think that's good
Because it's like I feel like I'm gonna give my kids everything education housing
love
Clothing food, you know, I'm gonna give them culture. I'm gonna give them everything
But I also want to prepare them for
You know me what life is but you can't harden a child too young because what happens is that they lose their
Their excitement is being children. They lose their childhood and I think a lot
I I can say that from firsthand experience. There's so many I
still feel like I
Was hardened too young. Yeah, and because of the fact that I was put to work at the age of eight
And her mom was crazy
Not anymore. No, but her mom I sort of fucking got I hear stories about her mom and I hate her
But then when I see her her mom, I love her because she's she's so cool
But the things she used to do to Kalilah and Coinda is crazy, but that's also part of it's not my mom specifically
It was every parent in the Philippines
Culturally rearing their children, right? So it's like I always tell people this is the best way that I can explain it
I know
the taste of
Banana and blood. I know what banana and blood tastes like because my mom was just that type of
of parent where
That's as I was chewing by the way banana and blood. Yeah, break that down banana and blood as I was chewing mid chew
You know, I'd get punched because you know, I didn't do something, right?
I was out of line for something. I I tore my swim cap whatever, but that's not
I don't want anyone to think that what my mom did was different from how any other parent dealt with their children
and my mom came from a really really poor family of 10
And that's how she was raised and that's how she was told to raise her children and she saw everybody else around her doing the same
and
It hardened me too much to the point where I resented my mother a lot when as a teenager
so
That that in itself like, you know, when you're saying like you want to expose your kids to a lot
but
Not too much. I know but our kids aren't also going to be raised by if you want to have kids
by immigrants
You know, my my you know our parents my parents I like your parents
They come from a just a different land and a different way of looking at the world and a different outlook, you know
So it's like to them
my parents
Struggled so hard to get here, right and they you know, every immigrant comes to this country
So that their child could have opportunity, you know, I mean for things that they never had right like education or whatnot
and so
My parents got here
They had two kids
But what they didn't realize and what immigrants don't realize is that when they have kids here the kids no longer become
You know, I mean Korean they become crazy Americans, you know, I mean and so
Because I was American and because I behaved in you know, I mean such an erratic crazy way
You know, I mean that they
Found it to be like me being ungrateful for not knowing that they did all the sacrifice to be here, you know, I mean
So it's like we don't have that kind of mentality. You and I basically that's that's basically what my mom's
um reasoning is for everything she wanted my sister and I to only
Swim twice a day represent our country get paid by the government to swim
And eventually make it to America get college paid for because you know at that point my my parents had lost all their money
So it was such a push
for us to be the best athletes and that push came with a price and it
You know, it caused me a lot of resentment that I no longer hold because you've met my mom
She's the fucking she's the chillest person ever
But she had her reasons too and it's like
You know, it's you can't
It's so easy to paint the picture of someone who hits their child is just all you to
She's an abusive person and she's a bad mom and whatnot, but it's like look like
She she was just
She did the best she could with what she knew
With how how she knew, you know, I mean with how she was raised as well like she could only
She could only look at her own bag of tricks based on her own her parents bag of tricks
It's like how did they do it with me? That's how I'm gonna do it
Mm-hmm. So it's like, yeah, it's but you know what um
Speaking of children. I was reading this
article that said that having children causes a higher level of unhappiness
than
for first-time parents than
divorce
unemployment and a death of a family member
You know, let's forget it. I can't do it
Because let me tell you something. I'm already miserable. You know what I mean? Let's not I can't do it
But they said that I cannot do it. If that's a stat. I cannot do it the reason that
The level of unhappiness is even higher is that usually when people get divorced or unemployed or have a death
it's normal
for us to
Um to talk about it and to say, hey, you know what like to feel bad about it
It's okay to feel bad about it. But socially
we're not allowed to say that
Fuck like
I'm tired and this kid is ruining my life
Socially, you're not that's not the right thing to do socially
You're supposed to put 150 pictures of your newborn on instagram and say oh he or she is such a blessing and has made my life complete
Which not to say that it's not true, but you're not it doesn't look good on you
necessarily if you say fuck this little piece of shit, you know
Do you know what I mean? And it's like when I were in portland my friend Kathy
Stopped by the show. This is a girl Kathy. Yeah, it was a girl that I when I first moved to LA. We were just friends and we
We just were friends and she was a young girl in Hollywood
I don't know what she wanted to do
But like a group of us hung out and stuff
Anyway, we're in portland and I hadn't seen Kathy in about 10 years or whatever
And so she showed up and she's a mother and she has a baby and she came to portland
Because it's too expensive in LA or whatnot. But anyway, I asked her is it worth it?
And she goes, yeah, it's really worth it. And when I looked at her face, I knew she was lying to me
And you know why parents do that young parents?
And they say oh, it's worth it worth it so that we could so they can I get a baby
So they they can recruit us to have the same level of unhappiness as that and then when I have a baby
They're gonna be like I lied
Sorry, and then I'll kill them just kidding. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but also the people who are generally most unhappy with having children
Or a newborn and have most difficulty with it are people who
Have a higher IQ
People with good jobs and people who can financially support a family
And that was the interesting part about the statistic. It wasn't poor people who regretted it. It was
Well-to-do people who found it difficult and saddening to have children. Why again?
Because for them, it's like
They can't resume with their normal
Way of life or it's a burden to the fund they used to have. I don't know. Yeah
Whereas well, you know people I would have to number one stop playing video games as much and that already
Makes me saying that makes me sad
And number two stop smoking. I'd have to smoke. That's makes me sad
number three
I'd have to go on the road more
Which makes it even more sad. He hates the road
You know, I mean to make more money and don't escape the family
So that would make me, you know, and then um, yeah, so I already know
That it's gonna cause like josh wolf
You know, if you don't know, he's a comedian. I was on chelsea chelsea lately with him
We just saw him and it reminds me, you know, josh was
A single father raising three kids on his own
And he and he still did stand up
Before well, I don't know. Yeah before he made it. Yeah
But um, it's really interesting. He's a strong guy. His affect his daughter was at that show we did last week and she was
21 it's crazy to see because to me josh looks
You know young, you know, like it's watching the yearbook today with you know, looking at
I was looking at pictures of people that he went to high school with
And I couldn't believe it. I'm like look like I just don't see you as
As part of that. I mean these people were they looked like
40-somethings who
looked like 40-somethings
Who were just, you know, who had families who went just the usual route of life
And I look at bobby and he didn't get up till 5 p.m. You know, I mean
And the first thing he went for was the ice cream in the fridge. Yeah
The first thing I ate in my body was mint chocolate chip ice cream
It's so delicious and I thought to myself he doesn't have peter pan syndrome
He's never had to have peter pan syndrome. He's just been peter pan. He will never grow up
I don't think that even if you forced it upon him that he would ever lose that childlike
You know
Sense about him. He will always be a child
And I and I always you know, I'm making it seem like I'm lazy, but you're not children aren't lazy children work hard
Well, I I had no money at 21. I think
For me, it's like I had to work
like real work
Like, you know, I worked at a farm. I worked on a consulting side. I worked on
Um, I worked several restaurants, you know, I mean, I I've always had, you know, I mean manual labor kind of jobs
Where I was out sweating and hating life and then you will come home. You're just exhausted
You know, I mean, you still have no money, you know, and
And yeah, so I didn't I couldn't afford to live the way I live now
But the reason why what motivates you to do something like stand up
Is you're number one. Well, I'm not in college
I I'm you know, I don't know what I want to do with my life and this seems like
Even though that, you know, it's the odds are against me. It's like I'd rather take these odds
Because if I do get in
Then it's just going to be an easier way to live when it has been
You know, I was very lucky, you know, you know anyone listening. It's like you take big risks
You're gonna get big rewards, you know, and if you take
You know the easy, you know, not easy because people go to college. That's not easy
You know, I mean what I'm saying is is that if you take the traditional routes, you know, you're gonna, you know
Have stability, but you know, I just feel like you're not gonna have
The freedom that you might have if you do something that you've truly loved
You know
And it's been a tough week for me because of the whole renazizi situation
Can we not talk about that though? Why it's topical and I want to I want to defend him. Okay
Um, you know what's going on Gilbert. You knew who Steve renazizi is. You don't know what happened
Explain so, um
Steve renazizi basically fabricated his story about
Being in the second tower
During 9 11 when the towers hit and he said that he worked for Merrill Lynch
And then I think he said he was like on the 54th floor and that he basically, you know, barely escaped and
The reason that he moved to LA and really pushed
hard to become a comedian was because
Of that particular incident that gave him that made him realize like life is precious life is too short
And I'm gonna relocate with my girlfriend who's now his wife to LA. That's how I understood this story
Yeah, I mean when I first met him. I don't remember hearing that until later
Maybe I had known him for because like the thing is is that I'm the one that brought Steve renazizi to the comedy store to get
Him a job
You know, I'm the one I've met him at a pizza joint called Domianos on Fairfax
And he was with his wife Tracy. They had just moved from New York and he goes. Hey, dude. I'm from onyanta
That's where he went to college
He goes is there any way because I just started doing stand-up. I could open for you
And this is in
2001 or two, you know, it was a while ago and I go
Yeah, you seem like a nice kid and just as long as I don't have to
Pay for his flight. He was already going to be out there or whatever
So he did the show with me in onyanta and then he did all I had had a string of colleges throughout new york
And he followed me at all these gigs and he opened for me, you know
And we became friends and then when I came back to LA
We got him a job at the store
And then um
The first time I heard about it
was through dice
Andrew dice clay because dice used to call Steve
number two
Referring to tower two or he used to come tower two and um
And then I asked and he told me that once that you know, he was in the building whatever
But he never brought up again, but that was always a sense of that. It was a joke
I so what bobby's saying is that he always told
That story to other comedians in like a joking way like an exaggerated way
Which a lot of them do with each other to be honest. Yeah, I never thought I never took it to be real
I took it as something that he was just kidding around and also, you know in comedy
People lie and exaggerate. So it's like, you know
But he is always since I've known him 100% always been a good friend a good guy honest, um
You know all those times I was on the league
It was because of him. He brought me in and then um
I did a pilot for NBC many years ago before he was on the league called state of romance
It was with me Steve Howie
Zoey Lister Jones, and we were in Chicago
And um
I was the last guy to be hired. I was replaced to somebody on the show
And I flew in and I was thrown right into the shooting, you know, it was hard
It was hard and Steve was there by my side. He would do line readings with me. He was
So supportive of me
And he wanted me to discuss it
And then later I found out that he was the one that got me the job in the first place because of the fact that
They NBC was like we need a minority because you know, you can't have six white people on the show and
Renesies he told the director and one of the producers I guess that
Bobby Lee and then I read for it. I got it flew there
So he's always been a really good friend
Um, I don't know anyone in comedy that has anything bad to say about him
Um, he has a lot of friends in comedy
and um
It's it's for me. It's a I understand why people are angry
It's mostly I don't think there's anybody out there who's met Steve Renesie who doesn't think he's a great guy except for
My brother
Yeah, but they Steve's not your brother's not here to defend his argument. I think his arguments valid
It was like they went they went for the same audition
I don't know why my brother has a thing against somebody does
um, in any case I
I do think that look it's like
we've all
Done some atrocious things in the past and we never have to
We never have to apologize for them because there's no one who's going to dig up anything about us
We have that freedom because we're not I'm not in the spotlight
For skin you're not in the spotlight and to a degree, you know, it's like look
We really are
Mindless sometimes and we're children and we can be pathological
So in that sense, you know, I don't think that it's that big of a deal
My own the only thing that I find just a little bit like unnerving was that he piggybacked on
the biggest tragedy
To ever hit America and I can understand why people who who were survivors of 9 11 who who go through
extreme
Bouts or you know ptsd say for instance, I can understand how they would feel like fuck are you talking about
Understand that too. I understand it too. Okay. I understand why people are mad
Okay, but the things that I'm reading right especially on facebook or whatever
Or things like, you know, you deserve to die
And your kids and you know, I mean and all these things and it's like
He never made it in show business because of the fact that he lied about that
He's extremely talented. He's extremely talented and he got everything through his talent and hard work. Okay
Why he did continue to lie about it is beyond my
I don't I don't know why
I mean, but I don't think you you need to know why because you know what the guy has always been a kind and generous
That's all I know. I don't I know is is that you know, he's a good dude. He's a friend
I would fight for him, you know, and it's like
You know, and the things that I'm reading about him is like
It's crazy and it's like I also understand how people feel. I'm sure. Uh, yeah
It's outrageous and it's wrong for what he did. Okay
But, you know, I don't think that he deserves to be
thrown out of Hollywood and never work again or
You know what I mean or have
Severe consequences where
You know, I mean, he loses money to support his family whatever it might be, you know, because he already lost that ad campaign
What I mean for the chicken ads. All right, buffalo wiling
Buffalo wild wings. Yeah, they dropped him. But point is is though
You know, he's gonna bounce back because he's talented and he's a good guy
But you know, I just wish that people
I understand it. Okay. So it's like the consequences
They're happening. I get it. You know, it's just really difficult to be to to be
To witness it because I love the guy so much, you know, and it's just like I've never really, you know, I kind of went through it with
Carlos Mencia, but
Not I didn't defend him as hard because I knew
That Carlos did steal. You know what I mean? I just
You know, he had done some nice things for me and
to me
You know, I mean my relationship with Carlos or Ned is
Good, he's a friend, but it's like I didn't defend him
You know, I mean in media or anything like that because of the fact that I knew
That what he did was wrong. Okay, but and I still feel that what Steve did is wrong
but
I I know deep down inside that he feels really bad about it and that he's
Suff suffering right now and it's wrong, but so forgivable to me in my eyes
I think I feel like it's forgivable, but
Well, you know only time will tell but um, can we talk about something a little bit?
Can I get my happier? Why don't you talk? I need to get a beverage
Okay, get a beverage while I explain the situation and just what is it about though? It's about hyzer soze
Oh, yeah, go ahead. Hurry up. Hurry up. Get a beverage
Hyzer
Oh, yeah, you're one person I should ask about this. So, um, should we wait for Bobby?
Okay
so, um
Oh, Bobby and I totally got into it about see Renna's Izzy yesterday, by the way
um
We we are now
But it wasn't always because like I always feel
I'm always creeped out by like pathological liars
And I'm not saying he's a pathological liar, but that it is it it's unnerving for me
Um, but that's his friend. So, you know, I support him
anyways, so Bobby and I were in the car. We had just eaten at a Mexican restaurant and um
We got into the discussion of he you know, like you talk about like how famous do you want to be?
How do you want to be known? Do you want to just make money? Whatever?
We were just talking about life in general and I said my ideal situation
Would be to have a lot of money
but to not be
Um, identifiable to not have people recognize who what I look like who I am
To just be no not at all like trust me. I'm still and I'm still okay
I want if if I
And I talked about and I couldn't come up with an example
I couldn't come up with an example of who is so rich, but whose face is unrecognizable
And so Bobby was like, you know, I said that I would like to be you know, I mean
Have a name that would instill fear within people
You know, they don't know my face, right?
That's not what you said. Yeah, I said if I know I that's what I said
I said I wanted to be unrecognizable and you said oh like Kaiser no, that's not what I said
I that's exactly not what I said
I said this is that I said that I would want that the same thing, but I would want my name to be
To instill fear so that when people heard my name, you know, I mean people would like
Get scared and then we remember we kept saying about that hot Godzilla thing and that you know
Kaiser Suze Kaiser Suze and then we were referred to Godzilla Godzilla, right?
Yes, that's how that's how I know that that was my point of view, right?
So then I brought up Kaiser Suze Suze and she goes, who's that?
And then he went crazy on it
And I said who's Kaiser Suze? I go, oh
Shit, let's start from the beginning then. Do you know who Darth Vader is?
Do you know I'm gonna add no, I'm not done. I'm not done. Listen to me. Look at me right now, baby
Stop being so confrontational
I'm not being confrontational. Do you know who Casper the ghost is?
Do you know who I'm just I'm I'm I'm Tom and Jerry. I'm just throttling it off. Okay. Hold on
Scooby-Doo. Do you know who that is? Can I just say something?
Yeah, listen for skin. This is what Bobby will do to you
Due to me and due to anyone don't look it up. Put the phone away
So take the put the photo down put it down. He loves to make feet. He loves to make people feel
Really dumb and it gives him a sick gratification
And he does it all that. Oh, you don't know who the Red House painters are
I didn't never said that about the Red House painters. The Red House painters is a lo-fi
Sadcore band out of San Francisco that I understand that nobody knows who they are exactly okay
But basically basically what I'm saying if he says look like listen
His brother your brother says the same thing I'm saying if you don't know everything that is
pertinent to him
He's gonna make you feel like the dumbest person on earth
So in in order to defend myself. I said, okay, you seem like you're mr.
Know-it-all. Do you know who Elon Musk is?
He goes no, who's that?
And I had a moment of oh my god
My boyfriend is straight up retarded if you don't know who Elon Musk is in this day and age
Yeah, and then he goes on to say Kaiser Soze is way more famous than Elon Musk
and then I
This conversation went on for about a whole hour
And then we finally decided okay, we're gonna conduct a survey
We're gonna we're gonna ask random people if they know Kaiser Soze if they know Elon Musk and who they feel is more
Relevant or who they feel is more popular and I even said it's like look that's like saying who's more popular
Barack Obama or Mickey Mouse Kaiser Soze has just has been around forever, right because he was in the usual suspects
Elon Musk is only coming into the minds of people now because of Tesla and because of the hyperloop and because you know of all the
Do you know what I mean?
So what we're gonna do right now is we're gonna let's ask um
Gilbert no, I'm gonna ask Gilbert. No, I have we're gonna call five people and they're gonna pick up
Yeah, but first of all, let me say this
I I don't trust you. How because I believe that you prep them. How would I prep them?
We'll call yeah, I don't care
We'll take turns calling. I'm gonna call my stepdad first
Okay, actually no, no, no, let's call my buddy Matt. That's not fair because your stepdad is a teacher
He might not ever seen the usual suspects Bobby, which would yeah, but he would my point. No, they'll prove the point
Roger what Roger when he goes to a fucking Chinese restaurant or any foreign restaurant
Will only he goes to a Korean restaurant. He asked do you have chicken?
You have chicken. That's all he yeah, because he's from the old school. He's a white old man. I love him
Roger, I love you buddy
But the thing is is that you cannot call him because he was born in the 30s
He probably knows fucking that guy elie musk. No, but elon musk has only come into the media full force
Just as a reason I'm gonna I'm gonna call him right now. No, no, don't call Roger because I say all right call Roger
He'll be our first guy. I'm not talking to him though. You talk. I'll speak to him
Can you hear it on the thing? Hello? Hey, roge

But if you knew seen it you would know and if you if he was so if you were so young and you don't remember kaiser soze
Then you didn't see it

It's that's absolutely an affair because it's it's as if she called herself
You called you yourself
No, because steve was born and raised in this country anyone born and raised in america would know that any
What are you sad right now?
No, I think it's a really pointless thing to argue about because kaiser soze is not real and elon muskis and he's real to me
And he's making advances in the world
And he's making an impact on our lives on a daily basis. I don't know how kaiser soze is doing that for any of us
So we're gonna go to three. Okay. It's two two and this is my last call and if this person doesn't answer
We're tied. Okay. Okay. All right. So i'm just gonna find the first person. Who should the fuck should I call?
Who do I know that we call pick up the phone right now?
God, we forgot one thing and every person's question
What because gilbert and I got into another debate last week because I was talking about eating butt and he was like
No, no, I don't eat but what the fuck like both of you were talking about how you don't eat but and I was like, wow
They make songs about that about literally eating but like, you know eating booty like groceries
Yeah, and neither of you are on board with that and I said and then right like two minutes after
After you said that you were like you told me that you take all your clothes off
And poo naked in public restrooms
And I said, hmm, and you think eating ass is weird
I said, that's weird and then you said in whose world galila and I said in everyone's world
I got somebody I asked them if they think I got somebody
I got him something. I got him. I got somebody that if he picks up. I'm gonna fucking win this
So you're choosing people. I'm choosing family members. I'm choosing people
That's cheating. I'm choosing people that are born in america usa number one
Who knows things about things? Okay, and I am going to call court mccowan
He's kind of know both. No, he's not. Yes
Court mccowan is a stand-up comic. He used to be in the 80s
He was in a couple of movies. He was in teen wolf and he was also in camp on me love with patrick demsey
And now and then for years he did drugs and now he does stand up and he's a friend of mine
And I love him dearly and I'm here. I'm calling him right now and this is the for the championship right here
Hey court, it's bobby you're on my podcast. I need to ask you a question
Okay, I already told the audience who you are and they're all prepped, okay
And I mean collider having an argument to see who knows who or whatever. Okay, so I'm going to ask you a question
Do you know who kaiser soze is?
Yeah, okay, who is kaiser soze
Kaiser soze is in
The what's the fucking movie with kevin? Yeah, that's it. That's all you need to know. That's all you need to know
Okay, now here's the second question. Do you know who elon musk is?
Yes, yes
Well, you just fucked it up for me friend and um, I just lost a bet. So thank you so much. I'll talk to you soon this week
Okay, thank you so much for being on tiger belly
Okay, bye. Bye. Yeah, well, I don't know babe. I I think it's too too. We tied
But you know now you realize that I am not as big of an idiot as you think I am because you didn't know who elon musk was
Yeah, but I here's the thing is is that I am I am an idiot. I'm not admitting that I'm smart
I'm admitting that I'm a fucking moron. That's not true. That's certainly not how you made me and let me say something this
Okay, it's this is that I don't I I'm only talking about it through a sheer
Pop culture relevancy, right?
That's all I'm saying. I feel like elon musk is just as relevant pop culture right now
With all this artificial intelligence talk and everything it's like, how can you not know?
You must be living in a cave if you don't know who elon musk is and maybe you would do there
I'm sure there are a lot of people that don't know who darth vader is and they know who elon musk is
That's not what my question is to me in my world and the way I think about the world is is that I feel like darth vader is more important
And that's how I look at it. I play video games all day. I like to listen to music. I like movies and that's the way
You know what I mean? So next week next week survey and we'll probably line up our callers
Closer together and before the show so that we there isn't such like a
Dead air, but we're going to close this
Podcast by doing a segment called unhelpful advice. Okay, so we put up
What do you call it a picture on Instagram and asked people to basically, you know, ask us questions and
and our only job is to give them
Um, unhelpful advice. Okay, so there's already a disclaimer saying we might make you a worse person than you already are
We're not necessarily here to save your life. You know, we're not a bible for the broken. We're just
Going to give you our own personal
You know
Advice so i'm going to pass the mic over to gilbert and he's going to read us a few of the emails
Unhelpful advice with bobby and kalilah tiger belly. All right. Uh first question comes from b through email
Now here's my question for some life advice. I am a 26 year old dude who is still a virgin and it's starting to ruin my life
I think it's because i'm a bigger fat guy
Who is a bit of an introvert?
So my social skills are a bit lacking and I have self-confidence issues due to having a tiger belly aka pretty bad stretch marks
That messes with me more than being heavy. I'm working on losing weight lost 18 pounds last month
I used to eat emotionally to get any sort of good feeling that was lacking due to no real connection with women
I have a spotless record, but i'm considering hiring a hooker just to get the nervousness that comes with that first one out of the way
Does bobby or you kalilah?
No, I know he's not reading these no any tips of finding a safe option in that venue
It would be in upstate new york go to montreal. Maybe okay
I
Here's here. Okay. I thought that he was initially asking advice on just life
But I think he's just asking us advice on where to get a hooker. No, no
That was the final question of all the things that you read. I just took
Oh, he wants us to see if we can if we know any hookers in upstate new york when you're a virgin
You put so much you put
high
value on
pussy
Okay, you regard it on this pest pedestal and then when you actually do the act
It's a great act sex. Okay, but when you do it, you mean
Over the years you realize that it's just
You know, it's not what you think it is. Okay, so this is what I used to do with my friends
Well, we couldn't get girlfriends
There was always like a time where I would like see somebody and then a euro go by and I haven't seen it
So what we developed is something called the launching pad and a launching pad is basically you go to tiwana
Okay, and you get you bring I don't back in the day when I used to do it
You would bring 200 bucks. You can probably get three girls for that. We used to do a trifecta
Okay, so me and a group of 10 guys would go down there. We'd go to the brothels
We did three girls two or three girls, right? I'm not kidding you right now a week later. We all had girlfriends afterwards
It's called a launching pad and the end women read it on you and they smell it on you that you've been getting some
Because the thing is is that, you know, why once you do it too with two or three different girls that are hookers or whatever
It might be I protect myself
But you know, it's you don't put the value on it and I feel like your behavior and your energy
Shifts and the end women can sense it. Okay. That's my advice. Go ahead kalilah
Oh, I feel troubled by that advice
I feel troubled because I I'm not against prostitution. I just don't feel like tiwana is where
There's there's probably a whole lot of human trafficking there and that's the reason why I I can't
Co-sign your with your advice. I didn't say just go there. I'm just telling you what I used to do you can wherever you live
You mean go do where we know be safe about it
But you know, well, let me give you my opinions on fat boys in general from a girl's perspective
I think that fat boys are totally fuckable and very fun to fuck
And the only thing that I will say is no one wants to fuck a sad guy. Whether you're thin or fat
No girl will ever look at a guy with zero confidence
Who's just totally morose and sad and hating life and say hey, I want to get on top of that
So that's a big thing. You can't be this
Sad person
You can you can have moments of downtime and depression and you can go through all of those things
But when it's time to meet a woman, you just gotta you gotta put
Your game face on you gotta be like look life is good to get on top
If you look sad to me, I will not ride you. That's all I'm saying
And another thing it's like look
It's okay to be heavier set. It's what you exude. I'll give you a perfect example
I used to be really really turned off with this guy. I used to date he
He he had he was maybe six foot three perfect body perfect ass perfect abs perfect everything
But every time we would get naked and do the deed
He always covered up
He would always try to be like, let me put this blanket over my butt or let's turn the lights dimmer and I found that to be so unattractive
Months later. I meet this guy. Yeah, this guy Bobby is five foot three five four
We're weirdly weirdly shaped big ol potbelly
Tattoos in places. There's no one should ever have tattoos. Yeah
And the first time he ever got naked in front of me. You know what he did?
he went
without
Any for no reason at all. He goes to the corner of my room. Yeah naked. He starts swinging his dick and doing the air guitar
Yeah
The first time ever and he's not even looking at me. He's looking at the corner. He's just facing a corner and starts doing the air guitar
Like I'm the shit. That's why full on air guitar
And I was really turned on I said this guy does not give a fuck
He has he just doesn't give a fuck
And I like it's what you exude
that to me exudes
confidence that to me exudes
All the traits that a man should have in order for a woman to feel like she wants to be like, okay, I'll get on top of that
Also fat boys shouldn't fret because there is an upside to having a belly during missionary sex
I love this about you
They inadvertently their belly inadvertently rubs on the clit
Totally by accident just because they have a belly and that friction alone makes it the best feeling ever
So there is an upside to having that's why I have it. You know a little pot belly
You're fat. I know but I want to make my girl happy now
This guy says that he's an introvert right and I don't think that being an introvert is a bad thing
And I don't think that you have to change anything about that
you don't have
you can be a confident introvert
and
Confidence just isn't something that you learn overnight
Unfortunately, it's gonna have to be a seed you plant internally and you have to let it nurture and you have to watch it grow
And I think we all have it are in our insecurities like I have stretch marks too an ungodly amount of stretch marks
I have
one or two strange nipple hairs that sprout up on the most like
In you know
Like times when I don't want them to sprout up
And I just you know I'll pluck them off because it's just what girls do. We don't tell you about it, but we do
Bobby has a green foot
He Bobby has a green foot and he has a strange color gradation to his penis
But you know what you just get over that
You nurture all the other good things that you like about yourself and you just
You know you work with what you have
So in saying all that
I'm saying yes get a prostitute to get your release out
Sit down I'm saying
Don't go to Tijuana
Find a nice friendly prostitute
in upstate new york who's understanding
And just get it out of the way. It's just the v-card is nothing. It's nothing in your 26
It's about damn time. Just don't go to Tijuana and do the launching pad thing that bobby did
But yes, women will smell it off of you and we can move forward from there
Also, I talked about a couple of podcasts ago about that guy ben the midget that used to work with that
I ever tell him about that
I used to live with a
I used to work with a dwarf
Um at a comedy coffee shop in san diego and he used to get really hot chicks
And he basically
I said one day I go. Hey, dude. How come you get so many girls like your dwarf with no fence?
He had tattoos. He looked cool, but um
He goes. Hey, Bobby. Um
The reason why is because hey, man, I've seen you at parties a man
And um, you never you would never talk to them. You never swing, you know, I'll swing a hundred times
And I'll ask a hundred times
At 99 times they'll say no, but I always get a yes, you know
So you got to go out and you got to go to bat
And if you get rejected, it's nothing. Well, what happens if you're an introvert like this guy?
What he what he has to realize is like if you're gonna fucking if you want fish you got to fucking fish
You know, you got to go out and fish
You know, you can't sit there and desire fish
And go, oh, I tried one it hopped out onto the beach, but then I tried to live in and went back
You know what I mean? You can't you got to go out there and eat like you're hungry
And listen, um big B. That's his name, right? That's a pseudonym. It's like
You're doing all the right things dude. You're getting healthy. You're starting a new company all of that breeds confidence. So you're well on your way to
Definitely, you know to finally penetrating I think I think that was
Okay, let's move on to the next one. No, no, no, no, I think we should save the
No, we have one more. It's a it's a quick one. Yeah, but we're at our hour and 10 minutes already
We'll stretch out a little bit this episode
No, this one a 12 step Bobby can give advice on okay, go ahead
My best friend has gone through rehab and a 12 step program
I'm very proud of him as it's been sober for three plus years now. Amazing. However, he still has drug addict habits
Such as relying and placing blame on others for his own faults uses people to the best of his ability example
Hey, dude, want to go to a show? Can you pay for my ticket? And oh, yeah, it's a thousand miles away
Can you drive? How should I confront him about these habits? I am proud that he's sober
But all the habits have stuck with him. How did bob you cope with having drug issues so early in his life?
Dark dark skin Korean dark skin Korean. Well, the thing is is that I'm not a professional. I'm not a licensed counselor
but I've been I've been
in and around a for
30 years almost
Yeah, and um, I
The thing is is that recovering from drug addiction alcoholism
You're never cured, right? But you do become recovered. But for you for it. That takes a long long time
It takes a long time. I know dudes that like and also it depends on I don't know how I mean
if you're in the middle of AA and you're
You know, I mean actively involved you have commitments. You sponsor kids. You have a sponsor
You're sponsoring people. Um, you're um,
You know doing h&i groups or whatever you might be doing, but if you're highly active you become
You know, I feel like you
You know recover fit faster, but then there are people like myself that like there are
Years where I'm highly active and then there are years where I'm work focused on my career or whatever and I'm not as active
And it takes a long time, you know, and the thing is is that it just depends on, you know
I feel like I know guys like that. I don't think that has anything to do with drug addiction
I just think that's to do with someone being, you know, shitty. That's what I was just gonna say
It's like look that's that's essentially the core of that guy
It has nothing to do with his alcoholism. I mean, it's easy to to tie in those traits to
You know him
But you should alcoholic or an addict sure sure
But it's like look there are many sober people that I know that are just shitty people and who do the exact same things
That that guy does
If you're in the middle of AA and you're doing the steps and you're doing it that stuff because through the fourth step
And through the eighth and ninth step that you will though. Those are things that you will confront and that you will overcome
Okay, and God will relieve those things those character defects
But if you're not working a really good program, you can still stay sober, but it's not, you know
You're not dealing with your character defects or whatever, right?
So it's the thing is is that as a friend you should confront him you should say listen, you know, really just, you know
I mean, I'm so glad you're sober, but this I get resentments because you know, you know, whenever like you want to go to a show
I have to pay for it and you you never drive, you know
And I just think that those are things that he should hear because he needs to know what
How he's affecting people, you know, I mean through his behavior, you know
How somebody going to correct themselves that people are, you know, I mean telling them him, you know, so it's like
You know, I think that he for me. It's like I'm we've been very angry lately and for the voyage
I know exactly why is because I'm not going I'm not I should be going to four or five meetings a week
And I should be having commitments and sponsoring kids and calling my sponsor every day and praying every morning
But I'm not doing those things. That's why I'm rageful
You know, I mean, I'm aware of it, you know
Yeah, but what I'm saying is
Like I
Look, it's like that's your sobriety. That's I don't try to like get in the way of how people get sober whatsoever
But I don't like the the idea that just because you're now getting sober
It's going to
Relieve or it's going to take away all your bad character defects because it's like look
I've never been an addict in my life
But let me tell you I've got a sack full of character defects that I I want to work on
And that may have already those things that that this guy dislikes about his friends could have already existed well before the alcohol
So at at the very least it's always worth confronting anyways because if a friend does that to you sober
Or not you should confront the person and say hey, dude. No, I'm not gonna drive a hundred miles
Like get your lazy ass to to the fucking car and meet me halfway. I mean, those are just things that
basic things that
apply to
With or without the drugs with or without alcohol. That's all I'm saying. But yes, I don't have much experience with AA or addiction. So
What Bobby's saying is probably more insightful. I'm probably the no, you're what you said was correct, too
I mean, there's no right or wrong. We're supposed to be unhelpful
That was more helpful than I thought the questions aren't you know, I mean are real guys when I said ask me questions
Like maybe set us up for more atrocious answers. That way we can like, you know, be evil about it
No, no, no, no, I think that we should just do the way we're doing it now
The way we're doing it now. I like the fact that we're trying to help people
Yeah, but the conversations that we have literally tether
On the like on the edge of sociopath. No, it does and I don't think it does our topics of my murderous uncle
I don't I don't I don't that's that I think that we're talking about real life
I think we and real things we and thank you for listening for to the the fourth episode of tiger belly
