lucky you and I are how you know like I told you two weeks ago I worked with
Shama you came at my ex me know she was my roommate she was your roommate yeah
you know in 97 yeah I do 96 whatever the fuck it was you know I'm watching her
on stage doing a little fucking impersonations and doing her thing and
she's killing yes Joan River she had all that shit I'm like you know what that's
20 years that's 20 years so if I talk to shame attach let's do talk to you like
I love you something happened to you I would be really sad oh dude if you would
you cry would you all really sad I get really sad how many like for a week for
a life it'd be like like the people I've lost already something happened when
you're a comedian bro with all the hatred in this town all the stupidity went to
comics from the store like I saw you I think Thursday I followed you and
Saturday you followed me like I follow each other and both nights I drove home
they go I don't understand if Bobby knows how lucky he is because yeah people
know that a manager took us out to dinner in San Antonio 1998 at the Latino
Lafest and we're broke but to know that it's been 20 years that was still in the
game to know that we're still relevant that we still get spots at the fucking
store yeah did you ever thought about that that you still get spots at the
store I think in my case dude I'm kind of like a weasel bro I'm kind of like a
cockroach I know how to like get into other people's worlds but but I do it
in ways like either through guilt or sadness I am a trickster you mean so
it's like when I wasn't getting spoon Adam first took over I wasn't getting a
lot of spots and then I just kind of you know got sad I wouldn't talk to him for
like a week and then he you know but I do I do little tricks like that how many
spots you get a week I get every night every day perform anywhere else but the
store yeah I play it now laugh factory sometimes now but like yeah mostly the
store but your heart's at the store I got my dude my dick set the store bro my
dude I'm telling you right now dude that if the comedy stores closed I wouldn't
know where to fucking go bro you would you wouldn't switch governments and go
to an improv or I mean I would do you still be spots there maybe but you don't
you know do these clubs don't have like a home group you need a home group you
need guys because why like the store is you can't it's so hard to get in you know
I know a bunch of dudes are like can you get me in like established dudes and I
bring them over and then the dude get Adams like nah right so then makes me
realize oh it's almost impossible I like the exclusive video of it fucking she
threw something out of there I know she threw 20 motherfuckers out of there like
to change the world with that Cali but she kept prior she kept you know when
she threw a lot of people out and let people know that you couldn't fuck
around in there yeah like I've always taken that place very seriously like I
was a fucking straight like I still remember pulling up up there and seeing
cases of booze out yeah like that get dropped off like ten years ago I would
have put these in my car and sold them on Sunset a 50% off I couldn't imagine
doing that at the store like I didn't want to fuck around at all up there every
life experience that's valid in my life was through there my first three so you
know where I had like my first somebody eating my butthole or like seeing seeing
ghosts I saw at the comedy store really saw those two times me and Johnny
Sanchez saw at the same time a ghost where did you see your ghost what do you
mean it's only there's only one go there's only one ghost there bro the
and his name is Gus do you know that is that his name that's his name bro Gus
dude I've seen Gus twice bro where did you see Gus the first time I saw Gus was
Johnny Sanchez you know that little Latino guy yes absolutely yeah he goes
hey bro I go what's up let's do a gig in Bakersfield so back in the day I used
to I had this truck with no window the windows were blasted open had no money
so I parked my truck at the comedy store he takes his car we drive to Bakersfield
we do a show on the way back it's like three in the morning now but he drops me
off at my car we're standing in the parking lot just talking about the night
or whatnot and we both look up at that top window and we see a face glowing no
eyes no no features wearing a top hat and two hands against the window looking
down on us we look we look at the thing we look at each other again and we look
back up it's gone and we believe that to be Gus my friend I was the first time
when was the second time I was playing the piano at four in the morning in the
main room yeah why you laughing dude I haven't really heard anyone say that in
the main room bathroom what many people can say they played them the comedy
store piano at four in the morning I play the back that bathroom that that
piano yeah that piano back there yeah yeah but back then it wasn't in back
there it was on the side of the state on the side of the state right so it's
completely dark right and I'm playing on my own improvised a little you know
Korean lullaby you know ding ding ding dong ding dong ding ding dong ding
ding dong you know stuff like that and I look to my right and I see the yellow
suit with a top hat but from far away you know where the entrance is I see it
coming toward me I run out that back door you know that word to the hallway
Yeah, and I come back and it's gone and that I believe that to be my second encounter with Gus now
I had one encounter, but it wasn't with Gus. Who is it? I think I thought it was Sam Kenison
It's so funny that you say that because once you say this what you're saying
I'm gonna tell you something about Sam and Gus. Go ahead. Go ahead. Don't tell me what well
Carla bow, you know Carla bow. Yes, Carla bow and Sam Kinnison were best friends. In fact when Sam Kinnison died
Carla bow held his body. Did you know that as he was saying? No, it's not my time to go. Yeah. Yeah, that whole thing
Don't make me cry right now. No, I know because you don't want me to cry. I don't do that. Okay
You almost got me there. But anyway, um, but Carla was telling me because I got his teeth fixed. You know that
Back in the day when I when I started to get making money in chill biz
Well, he came up to me and he opened his mouth and it was like boom shaka laka in his mouth
Like death Carla bow
No, yes, he'd open his mouth and it's something was rotting in his mouth. I go. What's the matter? He goes my tooth
That's not what he sounds like
But he goes my tooth I go, what's wrong with your tooth because it's rotting and I went and got his teeth fixed
But during that time, right? He was telling me a story how when him and Sam Kinnison
Moved here from Houston. They were they would sleep in the main room
on the stage and
One night Carl and Sam were sleeping and Carl was awoken
To Sam Kinnison levitating upside down from the stage
And Carl goes, what you know, you know how big Sam is right?
And then he was dropped on his back
But he was definitely like four feet up from the stage and they believe that it was Gus that it was doing that Gus
apparently was a
Bodyguard or a doorman back when it was C. Rose and he was assassinated there and
He's like a mafia hitman his ghost and he's angry
What's the matter why you just staring at me like that Princess Corey I
Saw oh, I thought it was Kenison. I was in the original. Yeah, okay
So I went I was I had like a 1245 spot in the original room
It's Saturday night. This is the old days the places happened. I
Hear a voice in the main room. There's a show going on the main room on Saturday night
I woke up and it's sold out. I know Mitzi's in her chair in that booth there
Oh, yeah, back in the I didn't go in I stepped in the hallway
But something when I was looking at the comic so the main room is that TV the main room stage is that TV
I'm in the hallway
Something kept blocking the light from the belly room that was shining on the wall
So every time I would watch something would block it and I finally go
What the fuck is this and I stepped back and I looked up and what I saw was
What you see you do I don't want to say no you have to when I saw was a guy look at me
But before I could see his face or what he had in his head. He threw a cape over
And he went into the belly room
That was Gus dude. I know Sam Kiddison and I was like Jesus Christ. I finally saw my first ghost at the store
That's it. It's done. So just wears a top hat and a cape now Princess Cory has don't doubt it
Princess Cory has a story about getting fucked up at the store
And going to the main room when it was dead, you know, we first thought of that
There was no main room shows comedy chaos on Tuesday. Yeah, it was skyless stone on Thursday
It was Friday and Saturday was open but every night every night was it was dead. It was dark. It was dark. Oh Tuesday
Oh, they had a black night black night. Yeah, besides that it was completely dead
Princess Cory told me a story one day. She was on the up and up. Her and I were eating like lunch or something
And she told me that that's the first time she told me she was out this place is definitely fucking haunted
I go, what are you talking about? She goes one night. I got really fucking hammered
And I figured I'd go into the main room before I sleep one of the
boots
She goes, I just wanted to be she goes. I figured I napped for an hour sleep it off and wake up. She was I was awakened
To fucking ballroom music
Whoa, blasted in the comedy store creep and she said she popped her head up and the whole dance the whole main room
Stage was people dancing with top hats and jackets on like just dancing and that she got
Yeah and set the alarm off whoa cops came
You know the manager at the store came at the time. She was the talent coordinator at the time
This is before Friday. I think I rest his soul. She goes that the cops came they couldn't find nothing
But I have been out in that lot
Many a night again in those days. I was on some type of drug. So I cannot
The night I was watching the main room show I was not on drugs
I was still had a spot so I did not do cocaine yet. So what I saw that night I saw yeah
I've seen two ghosts in my life. I saw a ghost
At the comedy store and I saw a ghost when I was about four in a building in New York City
Remember that always for yes, I still remember what I felt like I
Still remember telling my mother the confusion that I had and I still remember my mother asking me the story over and over and over again
Like a cop to make sure I wasn't fucking crazy
And then when I moved into 35 15 given that terrace
There was a time when I was when I got out of Catholic school. I couldn't stay in that house, Bobby Lee
Yeah, I couldn't stay in that house at night. Yeah, Bobby. I'm a big boy. You know me
You know the type of guy I love to be independent when I got out of the Catholic school
When I got out of Catholic school, my mom had a bar. Yeah, that meant basically I had the house to myself at nights
What 12 year old kid what 12 year old kid?
Doesn't want a house to himself with cable TV every every night every kid wants a house to himself
I would go home at night. My mother would cook dinner. I would eat dinner with her. She'd leave to the bar
I would do my homework watch gets Christy love whatever show was popular in those times
Go up to my room about 10 o'clock put the air on go to sleep and within 20 minutes. I'd be awoken by something
Bobby leave this one on for fucking a year that I couldn't sleep
I would fucking test or and I would feel something. I would just and one night. I said I can't do this no
There's something in this fucking house
And I remember telling my mother my stepfather and people like you crazy. You're watching too many horror movies
And I fucking started living with a family
We just go to the house at night. I played basketball with the kids and their parents didn't have a fucking clue
Who was in their couch at night? So you couldn't sleep?
I would go to my mother's bar stay at my mother's bar till nine do homework eat dinner with my mother and
Then go to 26th Street in central. They were Puerto Rican family named the Torres's and I was somewhat Jose Torres
Pop-up and I go to his room we'd watch TV and
Nobody would know I was even sleeping in this house
I get up in the morning brush my teeth comb my hair and go to North Bergen school
So I would stay in Union City and go to school North Bergen the fucking point of the story is yeah that after my mother died
And I found the dead and the whole thing. I found out an interesting fucking story
Some people came over after my mom died and they said we're really sorry about your mom's death and
They said you know what we never liked this house anyway
We thought about buying this house, but you know why this house sold for cheap because somebody hung themselves in the garage
And right there I knew that all my premonitions that I had I would hear it Bobby Lee. I'm not a retard
I'm not a fucking idiot Bobby Lee. I know what I see and I know what I feel I would feel somebody going up the steps
That's what I would feel people running up the steps and running down the step
Now the person that killed himself was a were they why I had no idea you have to know that shit
You have to know that shit probably New Jersey you would think so right? I thought he hung himself for years
I heard the room because after like my mother died
They buried it and these people who had lived on the block. I knew like I wasn't friendly with them
Yeah, they came that day and we're like we looked at this house first. It was like $10,000 cheaper
Yeah, but somebody killed themselves in the garage. Yeah, they said he hung himself
And then I told somebody and they came back to me. They go well now
We did some looking the guy was one of those guys that closed the garage. Oh
And put the fucking the car on the car
So anytime I go back to that house like when she Lee and I shot the documentary I
Could feel that house like I was thinking about buying that house
But there's still there. I'm buying that house. I'm still there. Yeah, it's still there
Thinking of going back to Northburg and saying what do you want for this house and more from $20,000 more gut in that house
Got it from A to Z gut cleaning out the outside. I know there's shit in the yard
I know there's weapons hidden in the yard my stepdad. You think they're still there. I know they're still there. Yeah, I
Hit a gun in 85th Street. I know it's still there
Well, never I talked to the people you motherfuckers gonna find that gun
Yeah, I said by the garage it had to be like three feet in
But there's something about 35 15 giving that terrorist. It's always bothered me still till today
Wow, my mother died there. I found her in the kitchen. You know what that house had become
Well, who lives there now a
Family when me and Lee were there an older Hispanic family older family, but they had had it was Lee Lee
Nice to meet you. That's Bob. Oh, that's the you are Lee. Huh? Yes. That's my bad. No worries
I think you don't you thought his name was Jimmy. I don't remember but I the whole time was thinking what the fuck this guy's name
I guess yeah, Lee and I Lee was up
Lee and I went and shot the documentary some people came and they go no
I think the people bought that house when your mother died that night they were first people I bought it and they still lived there
But I would like to buy that house and there's nothing you can do though
Tear it down. No, but even if you build something back up in that that the ghost is still there
No, no, I could do something you could bring like Indian chiefs
And fucking you give it a go I gotta have the people dance on it shit. I know my mother's in that house
I know my mother's tormenting in that house. I know that she's in there. I would give her peace of mind
I've always thought about that and I can't believe how cheap the prop might like my friend's dad died
He's got a two-floor fucking house in North Bergen. It's $400,000. Yeah, North Bergen is a throw rock from New York City
It's still safe the house in the neighborhood is safe everything safe
You would have to tear the house down and build a new house, but the property
Communicating with the dead and stuff you now you're getting into
I say I want to communicate with nobody listen you talk about a wrong do it
No, but you you want to you know what you want to do? I would like to buy that house that house meant a lot to me
I know but the thing is is this is that no matter what you do with the house you tear it down
You wipe it out. You build something else on there. The spirits are still there. You believe that. Yeah, okay?
It's not in the wall. It's not in the concrete
You believe that just just I'm not out of you because I'm not arguing with you
I'm just we're dealing with a different plane my friend
Okay, they're there. They're on both planes, right?
So you have to just you have to go to the second plane take some sort of machine
Maybe don't can trust them those about one. No, which Cuban the Cubans called el mundo de la vida get that that they
Would get the El Mundo of of truth. Yeah, I understand that but I figured
Whatever was haunting me listen Bobby Lee. I had a you've been addicted to drugs
You started hearing things. That's right. I've been addicted to drugs. Well, I started hearing things for 27 years
You know, it's a mental prison
That's the easiest way to describe an addiction people were going through opioids or whatever you're going through my heart goes out
Yeah, and you know, I love you. You know, I'm telling you the truth that it's a mental prison. You can't be reliable
You're not reliable no more you and I both know it's a mental prison, but I
I still believe in the spirituality of life. I do too, you know
What like when I did the longest yard where we shot the longest yard in Mexico
Yeah, there was a riot at that prison. They killed seven guards and they shut the power down
And when they turn the power on people thought that there was water
It was blood. It was a stream of blood from all the people that had killed until this day
They took the blood out and they paint the floor every year
But there was so much blood on the floor that the blower the blood still comes up from the prison
What the fuck you tell me this about because when we shot the longest yard there
They found out about that the paramount it so paramount didn't want no fucking problems
So they sent a swami a Hindu a Catholic priest. I'm kidding you an Indian priestess everyone for every every
Religion they sent them down there do a cleanse. The funny thing was the producers
Wanted to make sure so they offered anybody who spent the night in the prison. Yeah a thousand bucks and the fucking nobody spent the night
Everybody would run out an hour in because they heard noise
But you know mitzi though, right? It's he hired an a cleaner from Paris
Every year for like 30 years to clean her office
Because there was a apparently like things would levitate and crash against the walls in her office. Have you been inside her office?
Yes, I've never seen it and I've been there for 25 years. I don't think I've seen the inside that office. No, yes
You've seen the inside inside that office. I
Not that I thought no one was alive
This was
15 years ago when she used to come in three times a week
Yeah, I never saw I was a telemarketer upstairs with a clean
But they but they she would clean it every year and they would she would say it still wouldn't be clean
No one could clean it. So what I'm saying is is that who knows that these things these Hindus and these like
You know cleaners can do anything. Well, here's the deal. I was at the store one afternoon
I used to do Bob Oshack's job who before that was Freddie Solo's job and
What you did was you basically fucking drove you went to get her a tongue saying which
You went to the hardware store and you made deposits at the bank. Yeah, that was your job
And you picked up shift a little Mexican carpenter is he still there? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I love him love him
He's gotten feet, but he's doing well in life. So he's a little fatter. Is he is she has more cheeks
I gotta go see him. Hey, bro. How you doing? Yeah, he would be down there ten after that. Yeah, I like that guy
I forgot his name. What's his name?
Emilio. Yeah, whatever. What was there one day?
Waiting to go on a mission and
The weirdest thing happened a van pulled up like a handicap man, you know, it had to be 19
Had to be 2000 2001, baby
It's got to be two in the afternoon and his van pulls up guy gets out of the car kind of looks like me a little thinner
And he opens up the two doors and he puts a wheelchair guy in the ramp and he pressures a button and the ramp pushes it out
and the guy walks up and
Very friendly the guy he goes, how you doing? How you doing? If I was
40 38 at the time
The guy had to be 80
55 this handler was about 40 45. They were very nice, but the guy asked me blatantly. He goes, there's Mitzi here
Like, I don't know, you know, I don't know nothing, you know me. I don't know. I don't know Mitzi's here
And he goes she goes, you know, you're a comedian here. Yeah, I'm trying, you know
Yeah, but the pieces together, sir
Hey, I didn't know what the guy did but he goes. I was one of the original
Dormant here when it was zeroes
Whoa
Did mitzi ever find the money? Do you know she ever found the money downstairs?
Whoa, and I was like, I have no fucking idea and then the guy rolled by me and I don't know if he saw mitzi
Whoa, wait, wait, wait. What you're saying to me right now is in the basement in the basement
There could be money stashed away there
Yes
Because you know, they you can get down there now people hang out down there. We gotta find it
Yes, but I heard that this I heard that you could go downstairs
and sneak out all the way to
The street behind it. No
Yes, that that is a tunnel. There's a tunnel because no, yes because the guy who owns seros
Smuggled shit. What's his name? Zero. No
The guy who owns seros is a gangster
That kid bugsy seagull
Bugsy seagull was who created las vegas. Yeah, I know who bugsy seagulls came out to vegas
They thought he was rubbing shoulders at the wrong people
He was getting a little a little fucking smoochy
And he was dating the hollywood starlet and plus the envelopes were a little light in las vegas the mat didn't add up
You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, I gave you eight million, but I got six million in contract to retreats
Meanwhile, you're in LA having dinner with fucking sanatre
I'm over here in buffalo eating meatball sandwiches with a korean and a fat little fucking jew that's on the diet
You know what I'm saying? Lee. Lee. Yeah. Yeah. What's it say who owns seros?
Oh, I thought you I thought no, I think it was bugsy seagull who owns seros originally
So they would kill people there. That's what I'm saying. They would kill people. Yeah, and
That's the result of it people got tortured there. Yeah, they had a room down there
They would torture people plus and in the belly room too was an illegal abortion center. Did you know that? No
Yeah, there was an illegal abortion center and that's why they called it the belly room
Jesus christ and that's why at times people have said this if they do you spend the night there you can hear babies crying upstairs
But can I just tell you something about that belly room also and it brings up something the scariest thing I've ever seen up there
One night at two in the morning. I was hanging out there. Okay, and they go, you know, you can hang out here
But upstairs they're doing something but you cannot go up there in the belly room
I got clothes. Who gives a fuck? He's like, there's something going up there. Do not go up there
But I went up there. You know the back entrance up the black
I opened up that back thing, right all that it's pitch black in there, but I see candles
right
I swore to God. I saw this
15 people wearing hoods and purple cloaks
Okay
And they're chanting
Right
And then so I go back downstairs and I wait to see
They come down after the the seance. You know who I saw
One of them was lily tomlin
Okay, the second one was bob zamuda
You know bob zamuda
And they were saying on saying andy coffins ghost
Did it work?
I don't know. I don't know. I didn't I didn't stay up there long enough to know
But what I'm saying is is that there's something about that belly room
That is a portal of something
Why are you laughing
It's just crazy. It's a comedy club and it's it's like a haunted house
I still remember living in 35 15
Being a child not a child being a teenager
And staying them on friday nights to watch sanford and son and there used to be a show called
Ripley's believe it or not. Yeah
We go to you first find out who owns zeroes. So yeah, it was
Bugsie seagull was the last one to own it. He rustled it away from the there we go
So bugsie seagull was there was there ever a zero but that owned it?
No, the first owner was william wilkerson
But his nickname was zero. I bet but the people rented it after he did went commits went to sammy shore
And said if you want to start a now, what was the second one? Say an honor
What was the second thing I needed you to know?
Uh, I think maybe ripleys believe it or not. Yeah, go to youtube and see if you find
But before you get into that, I want to just say
And the last the last point I wanted to make which is there is something
Dark about the store. It's not because it's black. There's just something a weird vibe there
A lot of comics even though we're having an upswing
There's this girl who
She's she hasn't I'm not gonna name her name because I want to get in trouble
But she has a netflix special
But she doesn't play the store
And I was at the lab factory and I saw her perform
And she got off stage. I was right after her and I never met her before she's very funny
And I said you're very funny and she goes like this. She goes
And she just walks away from me
Right, which is rude, right?
So in my head, I'm thinking maybe it's in my head and then check it out the next week
I'm at the improv and she's sitting there because she's about to go up
I sit next to her. She walks up and walks away
So I did some investigating and I go this girl
You know, she she avoids me. I've never met her before
I never talked shit behind her back
And a bunch of comics were saying, oh, yeah, she anyone that works at the comedy store. She won't even talk to
I go, why?
Because she believes that every we're all like kind of like demons
And that we're all like a part of this weird comedy cult
That we're dark. We have dark energies
But I don't feel that I pray at night and you know, I try to be good
Right
We are
But do you think that people do believe that though?
When I got here the word on the street was industry would not go to the comedy store. Yeah, and
Industry would stay away from you
If you had something to do with the comedy store because you were drug involved or something like that
There was all a bunch of things on there
I know one thing and I know one thing about you bobby Lee
The comedy store affected both of us in the for the better or the worse
For the worst at first to bring out the better
Whoa
What the fuck does that mean?
You know the other night I was sitting there one in the morning I went down to the store and I followed you and I watched you
And I got my car and I'm having a hard time lately bobby Lee if you want me to lie to you my brother
I can tell you the last two years
I've struggled with people wanting to take pictures with me. I've struggled with people
That send me emails and say, uh, you know, you and Lee are changing our lives. What the fuck are you talking about?
I'm a fucking criminal jack. I'll put a gun to your fucking head and take your wallet, right? No, you won't. No, you won't
Believe it or not. That's who I was. I know but that's not who you are
I wouldn't be here if that's who you were thinking about my ex-wife. I was really thinking about my ex-wife and about life and now
She saw me at my worst
There is many few human being
That saw me at my worst the guy I kidnapped obviously
My ex-wife this guy named Mike Robock from uh, he's in the welfare
He's called into the show a couple times because he's my brother. There's very few George Kolodinsky
Who's my brother? He was dead and not I kidnapped the guy and he saw me do a bunch of dark stuff
You know, I was always a dark guy before I got to the store. Let's not fucking the mistake who the fuck we are here
But when I got to the store
It does something to you the original room does something to you the main room does something to you that affects you
I don't know if you know this. Do you remember when I got the fat ball on my neck?
Oh, yeah, I had a fat ball on my neck and I would get my I would do a line of coke and my heart would pump
Yeah, whenever my heart would pump the fat ball will come out of my collar bone
It would just levitate like it's kennison on the spirit
And you could only feel it so after I got off stage and my heart would work up
I go bobby Lee come here and you touch this and go
Yeah, you better go to the hospital. Yeah, I do remember that
How do you people touch it though?
Because I wanted you to tell me that I needed to get help because I was too much of a pussy
To go to the fucking house that was your underdeveloped twin. Yeah, like a twin
That song was on my my twin my head
What was the song that that I checked the speed freak with the boyfriend josh douchemay in the band
The philipine humps my hump my little sexy hump. I had a hump there
I had this fucking hump so I went down to see the sign. I boomed. They they took it out
And here's the funny thing. There's two things that happen to me that can validate what you're saying to me
This was the first thing bobby. You know, they shake your pants. I didn't know you were spirituals you were
When I came out of the surgery
The doctor came and he was how you feel. He was listen. We had to zip a piece of your fucking collar bone
We removed the piece of your collar bone because what we thought was in there wasn't really in there
It was a lot bigger. It was the size of a fucking softball
Your collar bones going to be a little soft, but we did this new type of medical
You're not never going to feel it which I never have you can't even find the scar
I'll give you a hundred bucks. They're nothing. They were beautiful. They're technologies be Jews are beautiful
But in the conversation he goes, do you want to see what was in you?
Yeah, and bobby lee
I swear to god your mind works in mysterious ways
As soon as the doctor came in it was a jar
You ever see the movie the the jerk with all the man with the brains
What's that steve martin movie with the man with two brains? Yeah, they have the jars in the brain
It was a jar like that with the fat ball. Oh my god
The bottom half was still intact. No. Yeah the bottom half was still intact
And the top half
Was what he broke off when he was first pulling it
And I looked at it and this is the first thing I thought about bobby lee. Are you ready?
All the times you walked in the comedy store after you booked something
And people came up to you said bobby
Fucking we love you and as you walked away. They said
Fucking chink fuck fuck him. He ain't funny. They never said that they all you have to assume they do
Why because that was their thinking back then. They didn't say chink fuck
Well, whatever they said when you and I first got to there was a little dose of jealousy
That jealousy is not there no more. That's why the comedy store is so great right now
Because nobody is mad at nobody. Do you know why though? Because I'll tell you why because at at some point mitzi. Yes
Approved people that didn't belong
All right, and now you're mixed in with people that don't belong with the people that do
And the people that don't belong believe that they go fuck that guy. Can you explain why they don't belong? They just don't have it
They don't have that extra
That thing and you know what joe rogan told me that the other day
He looked at me and he goes there's something about you you have it. There's nothing
He goes all of you. I'm not I said the same. Yeah, he goes. There's nothing
There's no science and anything you just have it and that guy over there
Doesn't have it
And there's nothing it's not about upbringing. It's not about it and I go wow
That's interesting, but I believe that
Some people just are born with this thing that they have it
And I can I can see young guys
Now I bring them on the road. I look at them and I go I think this guy has it. Let me ask you a question
What about the guys that had it when you and I were
Starving to death. Yeah, and now they're with us and they don't have it
What do you say for those guys because there's always because now I'm asian about it
I'm science about it. I'm scientific proof. You they were hot for three years. You've been hot for 10 years
You've been doing this now. You've been on the television show. This is your
Maybe what your drink
Cast position. Well, no, I mean I've been I've done pilots. This is my third only my third on air
Show how many episodes are mad?
I did eight years
You know, that's indication. I did a year on animal practice and now I'm on my second year of splitting up together
You're like the wife from married with children. She went from married with children
On the anarchy to superior dollars. You just keep getting syndication
You just keep getting chance from Hong Kong. But do you know why but do you know why I think it's there's two reasons
Number one, I never left the store and for any reason any reason you're very and number two. Yeah, and number two
I got sober
Right. So that's all I have
And also number three. I still read
A lot of these guys like I'm gonna name his name
But there was a guy I'm like god back in the day used to be in a lot of movies
I go what happened? He goes well, I won't read
They have to offer it to me
And in my head, I'm like, I'm like, no, you have to you have to go in
Sign up
And you have to wait in that lobby
And then read and get rejected and that's what the game is. I love it. Yeah, I love there's nothing
I even told my wife I miss
Do you remember when you remember when you first got here?
And we're green green green
When you went into audition rooms
Who are the agents in those rooms? Oh my huge now. Oh, no, dude. What's this?
No for number one. Watch this. There's two stories number one
When I first got into town the kind of parts that I would get
Is like you're a ninja and I would show I would show up at the audition
And there'd be 40 fools there wearing the ninja outfits, but with the masks
But I didn't have one
And I'd come in here and I go I'd go into the audition. They go, where's your outfit?
I go, I don't know no fucking ninja
And they go, okay. Well, then you're not gonna get it
Right that's what it was
But the first time I saw all the heads like john chow
Daniel day kim all those guys was during the audition of
king kong
Now if you watch peter jackson's king kong
There's one chinese dude in it no lines and he just runs from king kong
That's his part right, but let me tell you something they read for that part people read and that was one of them
So I show up and there's like 80, you know
Well established now asian heads, but back then we had nothing nothing right
If you walk in this room and they had a cardboard cut out of king kong on the wall
Oh, I'd love to see you run away from king kong. I feel like you do a good job
That's so racist. Yes
That is so racist. There's so many
And so the cast order goes, all right, so um, just gonna be running in a circle and king kong's chasing after you
I swear to the fucking god. I go. Well, do I say nothing?
No, just run, you know
So I I start running in the circle. I don't say nothing. I'm just running in a circle
And then she goes stop she goes you gotta yell
You're screaming. There's a king kong
I go, all right
action
I go, ah in a circle
She goes stop you don't seem chinese
I go, what do you mean?
When you're yelling you don't seem like asian
So, you know what I did? I swear to god. I did this she goes action. I start running. I go
And I leave and now I'm almost crying
And I have sweat dripping down my face
And I'm walking out and I see john cho everyone and they have to go in there too
But you know what I do? I don't leave
I sat there for four hours just to see the faces coming out of that room
Of complete sadness
And distraught and this is hollywood
You know man, this is hollywood. This is what we get in hollywood
You have no idea for people at home saying what he's saying
Because it feels like somebody slapped you on the fucking face. Oh rape
Yeah, it sounds like it feels like spiritual rape because
Your dream is attached to it
Where imagine your dream getting raped
And there's nothing you can do because you asked for the rape
Right, so now you're spiritually getting raped and you go home and you lay in bed
And you know how a lot of white dudes back then will go one day
I'm gonna get you know someone like chris pine
I'm you know, I'm gonna get a right role and I want to blow up right and us it's like
Oh one day nothing
Nothing
Because there's nothing there
And then slowly we started working
But that's that changes with the time it has to do with ad agencies
It's when ad agencies dude
I do one ad agencies when we should use more ethnic people in commercials because
Chinese people, you know eat hamburgers too
Right
That I booked when they were doing that I booked like 30 commercials a year for like three years straight

These lawyers came up to me
And they go can we talk to you outside?
And they take me out and they go

Oh
Think about it. How different life is. Yeah, how lucky we are. We're lucky. So all I know is I'm in the same boat as you
The 10 last 10 years of my life. I've been married. I had a daughter

I'm going to be at portland. Where helium when this weekend. Oh, shit
That's one of my favorite fucking clubs. I love that club. Yeah, they say something used to have potato dots
Now, you know, I hate ranch dressing. Yeah, but these motherfuckers took it to the next level
What do they put in there? They put that scaromachi korean sauce. What's that?
Sir, sir, sir. It's not korean. What is it? What is it? Chinese?
Sriracha is chinese?
Yeah, man. Thank you very much. That's not called scaromachi. It's italian dog. I'm sorry scaromachi
No, I don't know. What's it called?
Sriracha sriracha and it's chinese. Yeah
And uh, they used to put chinese and ranch dressing
Whoa mix it up
And one night I didn't know what I was eating at least I got it took a tater tot
And I dipped it in the fucking
In the thing I ate and after what I looked at the menu and I saw to flog yourself afterwards. Oh my god after I saw ranch
Sriracha
I fucking what am I gonna do? It wasn't that bad. I gotta be closed-minded. We just think of
I'm not gonna say times and places
Yeah
Just think of a sit like when when I hear about harvey Weinstein
Harvey Weinstein was a bad person
Yeah, he was he was a he was a predator, but I know 30 other motherfuckers that were doing the same thing
Harvey Weinstein was doing and let me tell you something one of the second biggest homes of sex in hollywood
Was the motherfucking comedy store. Oh, yeah, I don't know people know that
That was well. It's it's it's it's now. It's right. Well right now. No, it's not. It's a business now
Now it's there's management and stuff, but back in the day. It was deadwood. It was like we ran it
Well, we got there. Oh my god that was I saw one night
I saw I walked in the main room. It's dark and I see legs popping out
On the bottom some girls legs
Just sticking out of where the booth is sort of half her body was in the booth
Her legs were saying it was pitch black
And I look and there was blood everywhere and she tried to kill herself in there
Okay, and I'm gonna name you who it is, but she wasn't she was a waitress
This had to be 18 years ago a long time ago. I still remember who that waitress was
She tried to kill herself over a manager. Yes a black man. Yeah
Now let me tell you how the story even gets quick in here. I like that girl very much not as a boyfriend
But she was very sweet. She moved out here and she was taken naive
By a manager who was suave
He had like a wife or a girlfriend. Yeah, he's like, uh, but he was very very suave
And I saw him playing her and you but when we say we're gonna just say when when we say black, he's not like
Kanye black. He's more. No, he's more jordy leford black. Right. He was he's more like, you know enterprise
You know, he was like dry skin Tina Turner's husband. Yes. Yeah, I said I have a more recent reference. I don't know who jordy leford is
I turner, you know, I turner. No, I know with the name. I couldn't
I know I know I know a guy. Let's let's I know but I'll tell you let me tell you the story
Donald Glover. Okay, you're gonna. I don't go over. You're gonna die when you hear this. Okay, so
This is early on in the comedy store career. This waitress tries to kill herself
And I gotta tell you something fucked with me because I really liked her
And when I heard why she tried to kill herself, I never really liked that guy anymore. He disappeared
I have a funny story about him. Then he popped back. Then he came back years later. Okay
I never said nothing. It wasn't none of my business
You're not gonna pick your battles, but at the time I'm blind. I'm buying coke from
A couple of different people. I have an Armenian coke dealer
I have a Mexican coke dealer
I have a black coke dealer and I have another black coke dealer
Now one of those black coke dealers happens to be a comedian. Look at my eyes. I know what it is
He happens to be a comedian SL SL. He had the worst
cocaine
That you could ever imagine he was always my last choice because I could front it from him
He would get high and forget I even because he was on pills
I know who you're talking about. He was on pills. It was the fucking cra- and I liked him
I like him too. He was the worst comic in the world
But I liked him and he lived two blocks from my house and even with all my cocaine paranoia
I could still drive to his house and get a package like McDonald's of cocaine, right?
So I would say to him. Hey, leave me some coke in your motorcycle
So he would leave his garage door open millions of people would walk by
And in the motorcycle in the little booth
There'd be a package waiting for me. Wow. So he would call me the next day and say did you take the package?
And I go no he goes there's no money there. I go he told him about
I didn't take the package and he goes somebody fucking take the package this one out for months
But I always work things out. So it's New Year's Eve and I go up there and I flip the thing open and I go to that hip
Joey and I look up and it's that girl
I tried to kill herself
At the store 10 or 12 years early and they're looking like what the fuck are you doing here?
She goes, I'm waiting for
She goes, have you seen him? Is he upstairs?
And I felt like saying didn't you try to kill yourself over a different black guy?
Yeah, fucking 10 years ago
And now you're another fucking black guy. You want to hang yourself again?
What do you want to pull a board game? I go get the fuck
I just walked out of there like and I told him the next day
I called him up and I go, hey man, you can't fuck with that chick
You can't home the whole story. I go she tried to kill herself
Over some black thing before and he had a girlfriend you you got 20 white women that are chasing you travel heart attack
I try to take her to a meeting
Right because I was sober
I'm driving down Los Yenaga. She jumps out of my car
Going fucking 40
And then I saw her again
All I was doing she was like thinking that I was like some sort of human trafficker or something
She goes you you want to go to a meeting right and get sober. I don't know much about him. I go you're gonna die
So I try to be the good dude. She jumped out of my fucking car at 40 miles an hour
Yeah, can I tell you something funny about that guy the manager though?
So he was doing comedy too. Did you know that? Yes for years for years
So I didn't see him for years. So one day I get a call from this guy named Tony Calabrese
From San Diego. They guys do you want to judge a comedy competition in um, Tucson, Arizona?
So how am I gonna get there? He goes, I have a private plane. We're gonna do the whole thing
So I fly to Tucson
It's a huge comedy competition. I'm one of the judges
The next thing I know this next guy is from Orlando
Right. He's been doing comedy for two weeks only
Ladies and gentlemen, it's the guy
The black manager
He doesn't know I'm judging
He comes up there. He's been doing it for 10 years at that time
But he's trying to pull it off like he's only you just fart. No, I'm trying to I didn't fart
I tried to move my for two for he said he'd been doing over two weeks
He goes up. He wasn't even that good
But then I gave him an a zero
Out of one out of a 10. Okay
Did you just fart?
That's so gross, dude. Thank you. Yeah, you did. I heard it. I did not
Yeah, I went he's actively pushing it out. Did you smell it? Yeah, I did. No, you did. If you don't smell it
Yeah, yeah, I fucking smell it right now, dude. It smells like it smells like Cuban something
Yeah, it's rude, dude. Sorry about that. No, you're not you keep telling
Yeah, yeah, relax, all right
No, what are we talking about? We're talking about the guy. You didn't even listen to my story
No, but your guy that you judged him and he was he was broken. You imagine pulling that off
Well before the internet you could I guess right go with probably we should do it all the time
Do kindly for two years and go to the average account. Oh, yeah, that's what he tried to do. Yeah
People would do that all the time. Yeah, it's embarrassing
Then he came back. Yeah, and I saw him and I was like
I had a room in brand
And one day I saw him out and he asked me if he was a room brand. I told him I called
I never heard from him again
Then he disappeared again
He's somewhere lifting money from somebody
I was at the store one night on a Monday night
It had to be 60 people in the original room
Somebody in the belly when you whisper dude, it's so fucking creepy. Oh, it's because these are creepy stories
I know but the way you're doing it right now. It's like and there was a bachelorette party
I'll never forget this. I mean there's a thousand fucking sex stories at that store
And this chick left the other group because she goes I hear that this place is haunted. Could you give me a tour?
And you know, I do a couple spots. I took it to the belly room
I didn't think nothing of it. We go up to the belly room. We come down
I take it to the main room and when we get to the one spot
I go that's the office and she goes is that the bathroom?
She goes, let me go inside and pee real quick. I'll be right out. So I went walked
And sat by the door
Like just like an ass. I coke in my pocket. Maybe like I did two blasts
And next day I hear it go and come in here. I gotta show you something when I went in she was completely thinking
There's a little couch there girl at women's bathroom
There used to be a little couch there. She was completely naked playing with a pussy. Yes
They used to that's the shit. There was a woman down there on a sunday that used to go on there with a wig
She was really pretty but she'd put a wig on that put on there and your people blow jobs in the back
No
Yeah, and then she'd leave and then I found out that they passed her around one night
And then she disappeared
Then there was a blonde girl that was down there and give them blow jobs out
Let me say something it was crazy. It was completely you can't you can't
Any girl that wants to fuck me at the store?
I'm gonna tell you this. I I pulled up at the company this is before I met my girlfriend
Five years six years ago. I pulled up at the fucking parking lot. There was the hottest girl
I've seen in a long time
She goes, hi, I'm a big fan
Straight up I said, thank you
And she goes I live in Bakersfield. Can I spend the night at your house tonight?
I go, yeah
She comes to my place
for a week
Right
She fucks me for a week. It was the it was a gift from god
And then I'm at a dinner with her and a comma calls me. I can't say who
And he goes, hey dude that girl you're with I go. Yeah, you guys don't bring around tonight. I'm bringing my girlfriend
I go. Yeah, but she's with me
Oh, I've been fucking her too, dude
Right
I hang up the phone. I look at her. I go
Who else have you fucked?
I'm not kidding you dude. It was like every paid regular on the I mean it was I mean everyone
I go you fuck all these guys
She goes, yeah, apparently I was the last one
And then you know what's funny two years later
Russell Peters comes up to me and goes, hey, you know
Yeah, she goes, did you sleep with I thought everyone
That's why from you can't hang out with girls that hang out at comedy clubs
Everyone's been inside that
Well, you look at me like that
Said this conversation with a different friend of mine about the same topic
Yeah
About a friend that we had and she called me and said how's she doing?
I go I haven't spoken for like years. I go
I go the last thing she probably wants to do is talk to a comic. Yeah
I go and she goes why don't everybody banged her. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She got to the point. I remember one night
I was over there like at nine
I was already living with Terry guys
This is when I knew this girl was crazy and she called me one more
Just real quick about Terry when I found out years ago that you were seeing her
I couldn't believe it. Yeah, because she was like the hottest waitress we had, right? I go she's fucking that guy
I was just unbelievable. I'm just so happy that so
I mean imagine though like the hottest one. What the fuck we said
I was right there David
Jesus we're so high right now, huh? What we're talking about. I don't forget. I forgot what you were saying
Pick up a pie. Yeah, pick up a pie. Yeah
Jesus christ guys nobody remembers shaking off the phone bobby lee. You're on a fucking podcast. What are we talking about?
Talking about crazy women at the store. Oh, yeah. Yeah girls that the girls that get around. Yeah, yeah crazy at the store
You know what man? I'm happy
And I saw some crazy situations so early on from 97
To 2000 and then beyond on the road
I've seen and heard some crazy situations. It was a woman five years ago, right before when you were already living with Terry
What's that you're living with Terry?
Right already and there was a girl to shoot hit on you or something
You don't remember who knows
So for these girls that slept with every guy at the store. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no
We talked, you know, I know I was living with Terry. Yeah, and one morning I got a call from this girl
Now I had those days they used to have parties at this house a lot
And I would stop by to be nice on the way out
Because once I went to the store and I got coke. I wasn't going to go to your house to hang out
I don't want to do coke with them
So I would be nice and polite and go early on when I was clear-eyed and shit
But she was already starting to get drunk with her girlfriends
And I would go and say hi. How you guys doing? They go listen. I got a 10 30 at the store
I wouldn't have a spot to 11 45. I just wanted to get out. That was just trying to be polite
And I remember this particular that I was over there at 9 30
And I left like a 10 15 10 30
And the next morning she called me like I wanted she goes. Hey, do you have a minute?
Like oh, yeah, she goes. Did you sleep with me last night?
And I go no I only went over there at 9 and she goes you weren't here at 4
And I go no I was at my house doing coke by myself
And she goes okay, no problem. She didn't know she had fucked. Whoa
That's scary. That's some scary shit
That's every comedy scene has one crazy girl. That's why I'm with just Kalilah. That's why five years
It took a long time Bobby, but you I cannot do it anymore. No, no, no, who could do it
Who could do it? I cannot do it anymore after 40. You have to feel bad
If you really abuse women like that after 40 at 40 if you look at a woman and go
You know what I could be her dad
Yeah, like this is too easy. I could be her dad. Why would I want this on my fucking?
I'm my fucking go sheet. This is too easy
I don't even jerk off to like barely legal or any of those kind of kind of porn
It's like this is too easy or any of that shit. It's so crazy. It's it's it's it's unreal to me
Lee, I guarantee you if I did like comedy seminars like if I got that greasy
Right like I would say you Joey Diaz is coming to your town 50 bucks
All day Saturdays. I guarantee you that if I did 50 of them
I'd get approached at 50 percent of them by a young comic
Ask me to take around the road or we get together for coffee
Let me ask you this you think now because of because you're selling out rooms and whatnot. You think right now
You could probably land an 18 year old
I could do what you think you could fucking 18 year old if you wanted to
If I put my mind to it and lie and trick you and got drugs
No, I'm just based on your fame and who you are. No, no, no, no, you don't think you could no. Yeah. Yeah, there's no fame
I'm a fucking criminal like those. Joey Joey. When you say that it's ridiculous. I'm no, no, no
I'm gonna stop stop there. I'm not I want to just do this. I just want to do this
Anyone listening? All right, because I want to say this
I know this for a fact. Okay
that
When I was calling CAA
About having them rep tiger belly
Which is my podcast
They go, well, how many to give me your number this and that and they go. Yeah, you got to get to
The church level before we're interested
Right, which tells me
Because you know that you're at a different place
Right, so you're
I know you're trying to humble yourself and go. Yeah, I'm just a regular guy
Which you are and you're a great guy and I love you and I've always I'll always love her no matter where you are
Right, but my point though is is that you are you've elevated to a different level
Can we just at least admit that we've admit that all right?
Well, you wouldn't know say that to me. Just say this repeat after me
I Joey Diaz
I Joey Diaz have elevated have elevated to a godlike level to a godlike level. Yeah, just say it
No, no, no, no, no
Different level to a different. All right. Good outside and inside
Which is the most important more on the outside though more in the outside
I'm done on the inside. I still get fucking promoted though. I don't know what the fuck people in the end
And that's why that's why I when you texted me. I came right over
Because I love you, but also you're
People want to be on this thing people want to be around you
You deserve everything that you have. I won't be around you. I know you came into my house a couple weeks ago
what's crazy barbie like
The difference between 15 years ago is now is that you would go up to the store at 801
And that'd be an eight or 804. Yeah, that was it explain to lee
What it's like to go up to at eight o'clock in those days. Oh, it stayed till two. It was what do you mean? It was death
You didn't like it. You didn't like hanging with honoree and torturing your friends
Back when everybody was cool back when you used to drive up to San Diego when you're beautiful little bro
Here's what it is. Here's what it is. I'm gonna tell you what I'm gonna tell you what I'm gonna tell you what it
I'm gonna tell you what it is
When you when you first okay, imagine
Imagine being at a job like I used to wait tables in San Diego
I used to get no pussy
I had no future. I couldn't go to college. Oh, I'm 21 22
And I have no my car is like the windows are blasted open. I got nothing. All right
And you would go to this job. You would work really hard and you would get
You know, you would slay for 10 hours straight slammed at a restaurant and you'd get a hundred bucks
As a tip
Right, you come home. You get a burrito. You go to sleep and you wake up and you do it again
And then you see I had this midget friend. I was working with with Ben. He was a midget
And you know what midgets are they're so cute
And so Ben used to get way more pussy than me
And I used to go should I kill myself?
You know
And I had nothing to live for and then one day I walked by the comedy store
And there was an open mic and I signed up
And I went up and then nine months later
I was opening up for Pauly Shore
In front of 5,000 people at the Riviera
Just imagine now from there boom all of a sudden you're performing in front of that many people
Mitzi comes up to me at the end of it. Well, we're in Vegas never met her before
She goes, you're a regular at all my clubs. You're amazing
And at that point now your life changes you everything is exciting
Then you're at the comedy store you show up you run into guys like dice clay
Howie Mandel whoever it might be
Tell him the story when they sent you home because he lost like
I was working the door
I was working the door at the store at store and Andrew does clay walks up to me. I don't even know him
And he goes a Ching get in the car
He used to call me Ching
Right. He didn't know my name for 10 years
Every time Ching and I go my name is Bobby. No, you're Ching. I go that's racist. He goes no as to Ching
He got your money
Right. He tried to switch it up
He flies me first class. I have my comedy store teacher done first class to Las Vegas
Right and he goes you're going to be my good luck charm
He loses
750,000 dollars
How long in in 24 hours it was I'd never see I mean
Imagine having no money and then but what was fucked up about it is the whole ride over there
He was like you're going to get 10% of my winnings
So in my head is if he makes a million dollars
I'm going to make a hundred grand
Right, but now he's down 750
Right, and he goes go home. I went home
And he didn't talk to me for years. Were you doing comedy too?
I didn't know I just went to Vegas to be as a good luck charm
And I came home
And it was
It was I was so depressed for like a year after that
But yeah, that's that's the kind of shit that would happen
I'd ever tell you that what happened
With the Chinese the Chinese sex party
Hold on. Let me get a water. I get a water. No, no, man. You want a water? No
This is a Chinese sex party is crazy
Yeah, he's getting real lazy with his edibles
Nice the rappers already open when I get it. Yeah, but I did that for a reason
He doesn't know what I did
What did you do? Let me explain something. You just took every day. Did you take a mushroom?
No, every day the Mexican government
Ships in a hundred kilos a day until I got there of what of cocaine. Uh-huh, but they break it up. They ship 60
30
And then three intense
60 30
60 30 then 333. Yeah, they six they sent 60
And then they sent like uh four tens
So 10 kilos on one meal 10 kilos on the other
10 kilos in the one meal and the grand prize is the 60 they they work with statistics and percentages
All right, so they get
One of those meals gets busted
They lose 10 kilos, but they still get it 90
So it doesn't matter. They they they include that in the profit
so today
I gave Lee a fucking every day
When I have an elbow, you see these edibles here. Yeah, they come in a little butter packet
So what I do is I open them and I pop them and I pop them for a purpose
Because he thinks there's something in them and I constantly fuck with them and I fuck with him because he lets me
So if you open that up look inside of there, there's a little butter pack
Yeah, I let you this I have the choice. So I tell them listen
I open them and then I put them in there and receive them. So really I don't do nothing to them. So today
Last night I got them with the spray bottles
Why sprayed the fuck I sprayed this from out the hide on them and some uh, I do these gummies. Are they good delicious?
Oh, yeah, you get fucked up. You really do. Yeah, so tonight I sprayed the
Deactivizer and I hit a xanax a little quarter xanax in the bottom
It was upside down too. He caught the xanax. He thought he was like an inspector
He thought he was like an mpa inspector
But next you know, he swallowed the fucking cat tranquilizer
So who gives a fuck, you know what I'm saying?
Keep saying he's gonna give me chemo pills. I already gave him to you two nights ago. He's in a free room
Then you said you got a girl or what? Uh, no, I'm I'm single now. What happened?
Uh, we were together for four and a half years and I'm not ready to get married. Oh, okay. We're still close. We're still friends
But he's been going on new days lately. Yeah, I've been recently been dating. It's been interesting. He's been hitting new boundaries
Are you high right now? A little bit. Yeah. Yeah, you seem very high right now. Wait till later
Wait till you call me. Are you getting more high now? Because you seem a little high right now
He doesn't want to stop. So like
What are you a rat?
What are you asking me? You constantly asking me. Do you want me to have the ball hit?
Sure, I gotta ask you because you look a little uncomfortable. Did you eat one of these gummies yet or what?
Yeah, yeah that and uh something else. What do you mean? We have a little mushroom cap. You did? Sure
What's a mushroom cap? Just a little mushroom. And what does that do? Makes you see things
But why do you do that now? Because on a monday because that's the reason why it's oh, I see most party
Everybody wants to do shit on friday. Professionals do shit on monday. But we do stuff on friday, too
Huh? We do stuff on friday
See you on fridays. I'm on the road on friday. Yeah, would you when you do get high and go on stage or no?
You wait till afterwards. No, I get high and go on stage. Yeah, absolutely. But lately
You know, it's funny, bobby. I won't even know I'm coming for a long time 20 years. You said that when you came in here
You want to show them of my mind and the way you want to get off the road?
You know what the road is our easiest fucking thing right now. I mean the road is pressure because you have to sell
That's where the pressure comes in. Yeah, but if you take that pressure away the road is a lot of fucking fun
You know since my podcast
that pressure's gone
Before it would it would be touch and go some places
I'm not selling any tickets
But now because I have tiger belly fans
They come out and I make great money and I get to see my people and my people are good people
They're spiritual people. They're fucked up, but they're all like me
You know, they got half their heads shaving, you know acne on their fizz good titties
You know, they're killing it. What are you looking at me like that for because I learned what I'm talking to you
I see the 20 years that I've known you have seen you grow as a man
You were a fucking kid with a fucking skateboard. I know the fucking you to question me. I'm not questioning you
You were a kid
Dude, you're only like eight years older than me. You were a kid with a skateboard doing comedy when I'm back
You're a big-headed Cuban dude when I'm at your fucking lick the world on fire
And you got a mad tv
And then you give me pills and I heard one day you pulled the knife on you were fucking calling Kawasaki some bitches
Some motherfuckers on a set which I thought was hilarious
Then you took care of yourself and you've been a different man just
There's all fucking journeys that people
Never get to when I started this podcast the main theme of this podcast Bobby Lee
Was not to look down at people
Was to let people know
That we could be fucked up and still doing what the fuck you dream of. Yeah
You know, you know this Netflix special I was I was fucked up like eight weeks
It fucked me up, bro. Were you coming up to it? It fucked me up coming up to it afterward
It fucked me up kept me up at night a couple nights. You know why why?
Because I started giving a fuck
That's right guys like you and me were comedy strong guys. Yeah
We went up there with a plan but that plan went away and sometimes our balls would come out
Sometimes we take our t-shirts off
Sometimes we turn on the audience and that's what made Bobby Lee Bobby Lee
And Joey Diaz Joey Diaz. You know what happened to me? I saw John Mulaney's stand-up special
Was pretty good. He's a great writer great writer. Yeah. Well, guess what? What I'm not John Mulaney
And neither is Bobby Lee. You know why because Bobby Lee is Bobby Lee. Yeah, Joey Diaz is Joey Diaz
You know, Jim Norton said something once
But I thought it was kind of selfish
And now after it happened to me. I see it's not selfish. He said I don't try to watch a lot of people's specials
And I thought that that was a selfish thing
And I and now I know why
Because when I watched John Mulaney and his perfection
It destroyed my insights. I'm up there doing pussy jokes. I'm 55 years old
I'm talking about, you know, some this or that. Yeah, it's colorful. It's cute
But John Mulaney's doing real stand-up comedy
He's I'm saying let me yeah, yeah, yeah
But that now I'm okay. You know why why I'm going to the store from now on exclusively
Yeah, that's it. That's it. I'm gonna die at the store. Good road
Even if I go there once a week, it's better than going to any other place for me
Yeah, I've been doing comedy for too long to be fucking around and
The stores my home. Yeah, when you say I'm gonna avoid it when you see people like that
You know, what it is is that there's different styles, right?
It's like you see guys like John Mulaney and Neil Brennan's a good writer. Fucking good. Yeah, there's so yeah
Yeah, they thought it they do they can do voices. They do really smart like high concept pieces
And mine is more
Gutteral, you know, I'm more like you
You have an eating pussy and some you know, and I have some things that even some comments go
Oh, that's a smart bit. But in general I do switches and all that but you know what do at the end of the day
It's like I I can only do what I do
Right. I can't be anyone else
So if I look at somebody else and I go, oh, yeah, that's great. I just can't do that anyway
Right, but you know what? I'll be honest with you. There are a lot of people that can't do what I do
That's what I'm saying. Yeah, they people, you know, I I can go up there and get a laugh without even saying anything
Right, I could just do like in a little dance or make a sound effects or do a little pose
And people just laugh and I go, you know, I challenge myself every time I go
Get a couple of laughs before you even say anything challenge yourself
And I I've learned how to do it
Right, like I'll do a wink and I'll kiss a you know, do a little to a guy and people will start laughing
You mean and make a noise they start laughing
Orly, I'll do gibberish, you know, it makes crystalline laugh when I go
And just open that way
And people start laughing
So I just do my own thing and you know what at the end of the day people on the internet call
Bobby leaves a loser. We hasn't done shit since meant to and I read shit, right?
You know, he's I had some girl goes he's so ugly physically on one of my posts
And I read all that stuff and see you know, sometimes I just go, hmm
But you know what at the end of the day?
I'm making a good living
I keep working
And who's right? Who's wrong?
Who gets who gives a fuck? I don't get and that's what happened
The last couple of times I went up to the store
I haven't given a fuck
And when I get that car feels good. Yeah, it feels good to go on stage and I give a fuck, you know what?
I'm sorry. You paid 25 bucks
But if you don't laugh tonight, at least you got to see me
Yeah, and that's what comedy is all about. Yeah, it's seeing me. It's insane. You know how scary it is though to follow you though
I was no, I give a fuck. I was backstage. No, but I was backstage following you and lighting on the road
I know I'm just saying though. You're a beast, bro. Oh, I love it. I love no, but when people have to follow you
It's so fucking scary. We're comedy store train Bobby Lee. What the fuck did you expect?
If I sent you into the army, that's one thing
But if I take you to the range of training and put you through helicopter and killing with short missiles
And killing with small weapons and big weapons and medium-range weapons. I've created a pretty deadly killer
We've been at the store for 20 years. I don't know if you know this
That makes you a pretty deadly killer
Go home tonight and your project for the next two weeks is to grab a notebook
And who would you follow the people you have learned from in there from eddie murphy to martin lorenz?
Lee, are you okay? Yeah, he's fine. Yeah, but you you just seem you're drifting in and out of
That's what he does every day. I know but you you you looked over there and then you started thinking about something
He's my little retarded. Yeah, but he's not are you retarded? No, he's he's just not I've been I haven't been tested yet
I got some tranquilizer. Oh, you're all google-eyed right now. Yeah. Yeah, I gave him 100 milligrams. He's fine
He's a good man, but it's just weird
And it's great though. The other night I walked in and I'm watching you and like I said, I just saw shamer
I did not know you were gonna be on that show
I just needed a spot. I wanted to get out of the house. So I called him
And there you were and I'm like, let me watch this motherfucker and I was laughing
And then I drove home and I'm like, this is amazing. I don't know if he knows how lucky we are
No, I know I know I now know I now I now know
and
I believe
This is what I really believe
That we our generation
Is now hitting a stride. I can see it. Oh, yeah
