Because I came to the building and all of a sudden there's a, you go in the elevator and then all of a sudden there's a doorknob to a fucking elevator. I've never seen that before. So I'm like, am I at Hogwarts? Well, the real estate sometimes here gets so popular that sometimes they turn the elevators
Starting point is 00:02:52 into apartments. So that would be a front door for someone's apartment. Funny joke. I enjoy it. You get what I'm saying, though. It's haunted. It's old. Right.

Starting point is 00:14:51 but we have we we have comics that are like comedy police and they're like ivy league you're a part of that club right i love lampoons yeah yeah and i i despise it. Name names. God, I want to so fucking bad. Come on, please. They're not going to hear it anyway. Conan O'Brien. No, no, no. I can't because I just worked with some of them.

Starting point is 00:15:24 You're a guy who... I'll say this. I have worked with a lot of hoity-toities. People you hate. I don't hate them. I love them so much. You despise them. No, but they act as if
Starting point is 00:15:39 they've made it and they're above you. There's a certain like, you know what I mean? There's like a certain, like, you know, supremacy, arrogance going on. Right. And airs about them. They put on airs. Right.
Starting point is 00:15:54 And some of them I knew since open mic days. And now when I work with them, you know, they sit like this and they do this with their hand. Wow. You know what I mean? So they've trained gays. So just slow it down, the line. If you slow that line down, it's just like, you know, it'll hit.
Starting point is 00:16:09 Just be more real. Be more organic and real. Right. Like when they're giving you notes and stuff. Right. Because now they're like my bosses. Right. Like on a TV show or whatever.
Starting point is 00:16:17 I just did one. And it was like two guys that like I came up with. But now they're here. And then they're like like, giving me notes, and I'm, like, sweating because of the anger and the rage. You know what I mean? Like, I want to go, fuck you, you piece of shit. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:16:34 You hoity-toity. And here's the thing, too. What they don't realize is this, bro. They think that I'm down here, but they don't realize I'm above them because I have more followers. I have more, when I go on the road, I sell more tickets, but they don't realize I'm above them because I have more followers, I have more, when I go on the road,
Starting point is 00:16:48 I sell more tickets, you know what I mean? But because they're locked into this Hollywood system, and they're told by all these fucking suits and stuff that they're like the guy, like the heads of Netflix, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:16:58 And they hang out with all those guys, right? They think that they've arrived, but they don't realize that we're the ones running the fucking street game, daddy. Right. We got the streets daddy You know what I mean

If I don't let you get sidetracked, you're going to do it. Who is it? I'll give you a hum. These are the kind of games I like to play. What about we do this? Judd Apatow.

Starting point is 00:18:01 I want to, I want to, I want to. I want to, but I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't. You know, because it's one of those things in therapy that they, you want to, I want to, I want to, but I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't.
Starting point is 00:18:05 You know, because it's one of those things in therapy that they, you know, my therapist is like, don't do a podcast. You have a problem of like, you know,
Starting point is 00:18:13 putting yourself in these difficult situations because of podcasting. Right. You say everything, right? And you, and you,
Starting point is 00:18:22 you release your resentments and anger and rage, like your resentments and anger and rage like your inner thoughts that normal people would be like I'm gonna keep that to myself but I've been known to say it out and to cause these wars and I have like three or four wars out there that I'm never gonna win right and I fucked myself and you're trying to put me in another war.

Starting point is 00:19:58 You know what I mean Whatever it is Must be incredible For them to do it Right Yeah the lifestyle Must be incredible It must be incredible If they're drinking baby blood And you can only do it, right? Yeah, the lifestyle must be incredible. It must be incredible.
Starting point is 00:20:05 If they're drinking baby blood and you can only do it at that level, then it must be incredible. Like, what would I do it for? I would do it for, because at the end of the day, you'll go to hell. Right. Would you do it for, like, a free pass to be able to name these people without any repercussions? Because you really want to do it.
Starting point is 00:20:20 It's in your heart. I can see what's in your heart. And what your heart is, you want to say it on a podcast. I know how show business works. I know how a podcast works. I reveal at the end. Everyone listens to the end. I like it. Stick around.
Starting point is 00:20:34 Stick around. I have a list. But my point is that what would you do because you know you're going to hell if you drink the fucking baby blood. So what would I do? I would have to have Dude, because you know you're going to hell if you drink the fucking baby blood. Yeah. Right? Yeah. So what would I do? I would have to have 100 supermodels that were almost virgin-y.
Starting point is 00:20:56 Maybe it's, you know what I mean? Yeah. You know what I mean? So that's, and then I would have to have a 10 movie deal. 10 movie deal. Yeah, yeah. I would also have to- Wait, can I just stop you for a minute? What's really funny
Starting point is 00:21:05 is that you've obviously thought of this. You came with a specific number. You said- I mean, you specifically- I mean, you- This is like- There was no ums.
Starting point is 00:21:18 There was no looking at the sky. This is- You have this down on your- This is on your- The reason why I started talking about it because I've been dating, I've been dating, right? And I'm dating this one girl who's like a conspiracy theory lady.
Starting point is 00:21:30 Oh. Right? And she's like, she sits. Schizophrenic. She could be. She could be, which is good, probably fun. She's so nice and very beautiful. But she's like, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:21:40 She's going, it's coming to me. Right. Like I was laying in her bed. She's like, you're going to get the offer. Right. And I was laying there and going, what would I have to have to take it? So you have thought about it. Yeah, because only because she brought it up.
Starting point is 00:21:54 Because you have a schizophrenic girlfriend. I don't think it's not, it doesn't exist. Right. Right? Right. Because it's like, how could that exist? Right. Because she's probably crazy.
Starting point is 00:22:03 No, maybe. I don't know. But my point, though, is that because if you think about it, you know, I've worked with huge stars before. Right. I've been to, like, huge stars' houses before. Yeah. And there's no baby blood. Right.
Starting point is 00:22:21 In fact, there's no babies at all. There's no babies. You know what I mean? Sometimes there's babies running around in a carriage. Not carriage. What do you call it? Yeah.'s babies running around in a carriage. Not carriage. What do you call it? Yeah. Like a S&M room where they fuck them. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:32 No, like a playroom. Yeah, like a fuck room. It's no Slurpees coming out of them. Right, right, right. There's no tube coming out of them. Right, right. No, you're right, because I was at Stamos' house. I was looking for them.
Starting point is 00:22:44 Right. They're not there. You would think right, because I was at Stamos' house. I was looking for him. Right. They're not there. You would think that Stamos would have been offered the baby blood. Prime suspect, number one, in my mind, the way he looks. I know. Yeah. Exactly. But he's obviously the nicest guy, and he didn't do it.
Starting point is 00:22:56 My point is that it doesn't exist, but people believe it does. Yeah, yeah. It's like Alex Jones, when he was like, I knew a friend who got a TV deal, but then they said you have to sign this contract to sign your life over to Satan or whatever this and that. It's like, wow, I've had many deals in Hollywood. Right.
Starting point is 00:23:18 You know what I mean? I've been locked into holding deals, development deals, all that stuff, and I never signed anything like that. Right. You know what I mean? So it's crazy. It's something people believe in because it makes I never signed anything like that. You know what I mean? So it's crazy. It's something people believe in because it makes their life better. Like God, you know?
Starting point is 00:23:28 You think so? It's like God. It's like it's not really there, but we want to believe it. Yeah. So if you believe it, it kind of is there. And we need it. They need to believe. Here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:23:38 If you're a middle American person in normal life, which we get to see. Yeah. We travel and we get to see how horrible and putrid their life is. We were in Tacoma, Washington this weekend. It has the charm of the Soviet Union. I've been there, yeah. And I wanted to chew a gun all weekend. It's like Baltimore on the West, just with sheep. It's horrific. Now, if you live in that place
Starting point is 00:23:56 where the fucking sky is coated every night like nuclear fallout and you feel like you're in Finland, right? And it's sunny for two hours. You can't believe in your head that people in Los Angeles have this amazing life. Yep. Because you have to believe that they're horrible pedophiles who eat babies and are immoral
Starting point is 00:24:20 because you just, then you'll blow your brains out because it'll remind you. It eats the odds. Yeah, it'll remind you. It eats odds. Yeah, it'll remind you that you're in Tacoma and you're not Bobby Lee and you're not running around and you're not getting paid to be funny. Thank God I'm not them. You know, that's the point.
Starting point is 00:24:33 But the thing, what they don't realize is that I am them. You were them. We were all, we're all them now. You are. No, you are too. But there's some, some are more established, man. You know? I know, I know. There'll never be conspiracy theories about us because they see us on the internet like i started
Starting point is 00:24:50 with i had no nepotism i didn't know anybody i i signed up at an open mic in 95 waited six hours to go up right and i went up every single night since then right and crawled my way out you know i mean so it's like there's a way out's like, there's a way out of Tacoma. There's a way out of anywhere if you're willing to fucking, you know what I mean, do the time. Right.
Starting point is 00:25:11 You know, I did the time. Yeah. Right. But you also had the talent though. Come on, you're a natural talent. I'm not just going to sit there
Starting point is 00:25:17 with- No, no, no. Can I just say this? My magical black? I love people like you, man. I love it. Yeah. Hey,
Starting point is 00:25:24 do you know this girl named Sienna? Yeah. Yeah. You like her? Yeah, she's cool. Pretty cool. Anyway. Who's Sienna?
Starting point is 00:25:33 She's a comic. She's a comic. Yeah, comic. Let's move on. Yeah. Okay. Do you notice when you're around blacks, the room smells like lotion, cocoa butter?
Starting point is 00:25:46 I got Say something okay. I got um blackmailed on the internet for going down this road So I can't go down this road right now with you right okay because um One time I said I'll just I'll go down the road one time I said And I don't even know what it meant, what I said, but I go, some black people are oily. Right.
Starting point is 00:26:09 I don't know why I said that. Right. You tried to be funny. Yeah. I mean, that's not the worst thing you said. I saw it in the video. All right, let's not bring those up.
Starting point is 00:26:16 Let's not bring those up. I mean, dogs. Let's not bring those up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But then this lady emailed,
Starting point is 00:26:24 you know what I mean, the Tiger Barley, and she said, give me $15,000 or I'm going to take that clip and bring it to every of your ads and people that like, and I'm going to ruin your career. Sometimes black people are oily? Yeah, because I just said that. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:26:43 And then she put up videos of me with a KKK hood. Wow. You know what I mean? On YouTube. Was it deep fake? What? Was it deep fake? No, it was back in the day.
Starting point is 00:26:53 It was probably 10 years ago, whatever. But it's like, I couldn't believe it. It's like, you know what I mean? So it's like the coconut, I love it. I love coconut. Yeah. They smell good. No, they smell like cocoa butter.
Starting point is 00:27:04 We talked about white people usually like Lubriderm, which is kind of scentless. And black people who are experts at lotion go cocoa butter, usually. Lubriderm just smells like PVC pipe. What does coconut do? Cocoa butter. What does it do? Hydrates the skin.
Starting point is 00:27:19 Why do you need it? It's natural. Otherwise you can play tic-tac-toe on his leg. Yeah. It gets ashy? Otherwise, you can play tic-tac-toe on his leg. Yeah. It gets ashy? Yeah, you can strike a match on my leg. Oh, I see. Okay, my bad. Yeah, I mean, if Tom Hanks had a black person and cast away, he would have survived.
Starting point is 00:27:33 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, they would have started a fire? Yeah. Oh, so, you know, if I was on, like, Naked and Afraid, I would want you as a partner. Yeah, exactly. Naked and Afraid is every day of your life. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, you know, ironically, I've said it before,
Starting point is 00:27:46 ironically it means we're in such a good place when someone who is Asian can be in the KKK. That's very progressive and inclusive. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I mean, it's very inclusive. Yeah. I mean, we've talked about it before, but Nazis have become very diverse.
Starting point is 00:28:00 I mean, she put a Klan hood on you, you're Asian. I mean, they wouldn't accept you at the party, but now maybe they will. They've become very open. Asians are white adjacent. Are they? That's what I've been reading online. Right, so it must be true.
Starting point is 00:28:14 No, no, no, but it's just that we're, you know, we were always considered a model minority. I don't feel like we're white adjacent. I feel like if there was a race war, I know what sign I'm on. Right? Right. Right.
Starting point is 00:28:27 Wherever the Jews and stuff are. Right? Yeah. Right. When you go with the Jews. You got to go with the Jews because they got a good plan. They have plans. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:36 They got plans. They have money. They have plans. Yeah. They're always the strongest. In the conspiracy world, the Jews are always the strongest. Yeah. They're always doing the most damage.
Starting point is 00:28:43 Yeah. From the smallest people. But they always got the most. They got the banks, they got Hollywood, they got infinite power. They control the weather. So I would go with the Jews. Where would you go? I would go with you. Yeah, I'd like to do it with you.
Starting point is 00:28:57 Is Greek white? Well, Greek, that's another one. They're trying to figure it out. We need to really have a social scientist really put the oppression scale up and figure out where we all are. Because Greeks, we were enslaved by the Turks for 400 years. You got fucked by Japan.
Starting point is 00:29:15 Japan, Japanese. Bad, yeah. Real bad, yeah, yeah, yeah. What do you stand about that new reality squid game show on Netflix? What do I stand on it? It's a real show. It's not a real show. It's all the strongest people.
Starting point is 00:29:31 No, they have a real game show now. Oh, they do? I didn't know. It's like the number one trending show on Netflix. It is right now? And it's South, it's Korean. Yeah. And it's all these strong guys from Korea.
Starting point is 00:29:41 Yeah. From different fields competing to see like who's the strongest guy. And they're all fucking hot, and cut, and like, hot, so I want to know where you stand on that. Well,
Starting point is 00:29:50 this is the first time I've known about it, so I really, let me think about it. Well, I don't have any, Siri, please. I have no feeling about it,
Starting point is 00:30:00 because the thing is, is that, like, we have American, you know, the American Ninja Gladiator, whatever these shows that we have. We have Strongman shows too, right?
Starting point is 00:30:09 Yeah, we do. Yeah, and I don't watch that shit. Right. Why would I care? Well, I just thought maybe because it's Korean. It's called something. It's not the Squid Game. It's actually called something else right now on Netflix.
Starting point is 00:30:21 My wife is obsessed with it, and I've caught some of it. It's really good. It's all Koreans. They're all Koreans. Good, good. Yeah. That's really good. It's all Koreans. They're all Koreans. Good, good. Yeah. That's a good thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:28 So Samsung. I have to say, though, about Korea in general, I think that I'm very proud of that country. Right. You know, we've got... North Korea. I would have survived there. I would have thrived in North Korea. How would you have survived in North Korea?
Starting point is 00:30:44 Because I would have done the meth game. The what? Well, they do meth. They have meth factories there. Methamphetamine. They do. Yeah. And all these villagers and stuff, I guess,
Starting point is 00:30:57 they work in these meth labs, the meth factories. Right. And they feed them meth for their payment. Right. So they're just constantly, you know what I mean, up. So you would have sold the meth or done all the meth? I would have had one of those probably, like been in charge or whatever.
Starting point is 00:31:10 You would have been like a drug lord, legal drug lord. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What makes you think you could rise up so easily? You don't have the muscle, you don't have the brain? Because I'm... You're funny. I would probably suck dick. You could do that.
Starting point is 00:31:24 Yeah, I would have sucked Kim Jong-un suck dick You could do that Yeah I would have Sucked Kim Jong-un's dick No disrespect But over there You're a dime a dozen There's nothing There's no fetish Bro let me say something right now
Starting point is 00:31:31 I'm a survivor Yeah And if I was in North Korea I'd be like I would like just be Practicing all day long You'd get good at it I mean
Starting point is 00:31:40 I would be the best You wouldn't let anyone Outwork you No I would like Stick the tip of my't let anyone outwork you. No. I would, like, stick the tip of my tongue in the hole and do a little move there. Right. Right?
Starting point is 00:31:50 Like, so subtle. Right. Like, hints of, you know what I mean? Right. Of, like, wow, that was special. Right. Right? I would, like, you know, stick my finger in the butthole a little bit.
Starting point is 00:32:00 Just a tad. Just a tad. Just the pinky, right? I mean, I'd lube it, too. You know what I mean? Yeah. And do little things. I would just do different techniques.
Starting point is 00:32:08 So you'd Kaiser Sosa. You'd be willing to go where the other guy wouldn't. Well, in a desperate situation, you know what I mean? Back in the day, I would probably do anything to survive. But here's the deal. The whole situation is desperate. I'm just being devil's advocate here. What if there's a lot of other guys doing desperate stuff? How far are you willing to go?
Starting point is 00:32:26 I mean, what are we talking about? Give me a scenario. I mean, I'm just saying if you're sucking your way to the top in a desperate scenario like North Korea autocracy, I bet you there's a bunch of guys doing comparable stuff
Starting point is 00:32:36 to get to the top. No, because most people have a fundamental ethics. Right. And a morality, right? So there's always a line that they won't cross, right? There's like a thousand lines for me, I think. Right. And morality, right? So there's always a line that they won't cross, right? There's like a thousand lines for me, I think.
Starting point is 00:32:48 Right. You know what I mean? I wouldn't kill anybody. Would you fuck someone with a frozen piece of dog shit? How far... What do you mean? Frozen. There's a frozen piece of dog shit.
Starting point is 00:32:59 Yeah. And I eat it first and then suck the dick? Yeah. I'm trying to find out, like, yeah, would you stick one in your own ass? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because you're obviously pleasing the autocracy. it first and then suck the dick? I'm trying to find out, would you stick one in your own ass? You're obviously pleasing the autocracy. You're pleasing the ruling party because you're trying to get ahead. That would be like a court gesture.
Starting point is 00:33:13 You know that those guys want to get balanced out and have some weird fetishes, so one of them might be fucking with some frozen dog shit. I can imagine Kim Jong-un on his throne or whatever, and he's just sitting there and he goes, putting him in. Right?
Starting point is 00:33:29 And there's the people with horns. Right? I come in, right, and I look good. Yeah. I have coconut butter on my skin. From head to toe, you know what I mean? Yeah. And I would come in and I would bring in a fucking, you know what I mean, a basket full of frozen, you know what I mean Yeah And I would come in And I would bring in A fucking
Starting point is 00:33:45 You know what I mean A basket full of frozen You know what I mean Dung Right I would bring all the stuff That you would need Right
Starting point is 00:33:52 Right And I would say You'd have a kink lunchbox Or something Yeah Your highness What would you like to see From me today
Starting point is 00:33:59 Right He's like Do the Stick oil in your bottle Right And I would just Just jam them up there You know're a man like Snickers up Oh, yeah. Yeah. No lube or anything cuz you're a survivor. You really are. Yeah, and then
Starting point is 00:34:11 At the end I like may have the meth factory, please That factory yours that would be funny It's all you have to do is ask nicely after you stick a bunch of frozen dog shit up your ass And he was like, oh yeah, all you had to do is ask you like I didn't have to do is ask nicely After you stick a bunch of frozen dog shit up your ass And he was like All you had to do was ask I didn't have to stick on it And he's like no I'm a big fan Bobby Lee I wouldn't give you the meth factory Oh interesting
Starting point is 00:34:35 Has that happened a lot to you? That like because Your comic friends know that you're the guy Who's willing to You're a survivor You're willing to go farther than a survivor you're willing to go farther than a lot of guys that like a lot of you wanted something and guys
Starting point is 00:34:49 would be like okay I'll give you my car all you have to do is stick this frozen piece of dog shit in your ass and fuck my dog and you go that's cool I wanted to do that anyway and then you do I don't have that kind of reputation, what the fuck are you talking about and then they go I would have given you the car anyway no no no
Starting point is 00:35:04 I'm willing to go like in terms. No, no, no, no, no, no. Okay. I mean, I'm willing to go, like, in terms of comedy, to an edge that, like, Sebastian Maniscalco wouldn't go. Right. Right. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:35:15 Like, because he looks at me and goes, why do you do that? You know what I mean? He's always done that. Right. He's always pulled me aside and says, like, you don't need to do that. Right.
Starting point is 00:35:21 I go, I did. Right. I need to do it. You know what I mean? Yeah. Because my line is further out than his. Right. You know what I mean? Yeah. Because my line is further out than his. Right. You know what I mean? Yeah, I don't like when people get judgmental of each other's stuff.
Starting point is 00:35:30 Like, I love you the way you are. Yeah. I wouldn't want to change you. His side's maybe a little taller and thinner. But other than that. Yeah, I mean, you're so funny. You're like a comedic vessel. Like, everything about you is funny.
Starting point is 00:35:42 If you were in pocket, that would be weird. Yeah. I mean, I tried back in the day, in the back i tried to conform right you know when i started i was like looking at other people and i go okay because the first time i ever went up i you know showed the audience my butthole right right and and great starting point and open mic right and they were like you know what i mean right and i go oh go, oh, I have to conform. You have to conform. Yeah. So I would like watch people construct jokes. Right. Right. And like, you know, I would meet up with other like older comics and go, how do you write
Starting point is 00:36:11 a joke? You're right. Right. And then I would watch, you know, a TV to see how people were doing it. But then it was just like, it's just not working. Yeah. There's this one, I don't want anyone to Google it, but there was this one stand-up I did 30 years ago that's online.
Starting point is 00:36:28 Can I talk like this? You know what I mean? You were trying to. Because I was trying to do a Chris Tucker-y kind of like, you know what I mean, character kind of a thing. I had really big hair. I was wearing this like a Mexican,
Starting point is 00:36:38 you know, like I was like doing, that's not who I am, you know what I mean? Right. But there were so many different versions of what I tried to do. Right. And then eventually you just kind of go oh no i i'm just gonna do this when you got on mad tv had you discovered the right version of you yet or were you being i was right i think kind of like i was the closest yeah i think i was pretty much almost beyond mimicking other people right and what year was that? 2000.
Starting point is 00:37:05 2000? Yeah, yeah. Why? Oh, just asking. We just wanted to know if he was alive before it. Were you alive? Yeah, three years. Oh, you were three years old?
Starting point is 00:37:12 Mm-hmm. So when you were three years old, I got my first TV show. Yeah. Why'd you wake at me like that? It seemed like you were making an offer towards me. Maybe. No, I'm trying to analyze why I did that.
Starting point is 00:37:24 Yeah. That was weird. I apologize. No, you were late. I apologize. Maybe No I'm trying to analyze Why I did that Yeah That was weird I think you were I apologize No you were I apologize Yeah it was a little bit of a flex But I got you
Starting point is 00:37:31 You don't have to This is look He's a fucking Gen I know You don't have to apologize You winked at him I'll tell you why you winked at him
Starting point is 00:37:38 Why Because you were going There's a hierarchy to this shit I was on TV When you were three You flexed a little bit With a wink It was an understated
Starting point is 00:37:45 West Coast flex, but it was a flex nonetheless. I guess it was. Andrew Schultz would have said, shut the fuck up, young guy! And you did it your way. You went like this. Wink. No, I'm just winking like... No, I think the wink was more like, I've been around. You've been around.
Starting point is 00:38:02 Yeah, yeah. Don't fuck with me. Exactly, yeah! Yeah, don't fuck with me. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Don't fuck with me. Yeah. But yeah, I've been around. So when, how long does Miss Swan get to get away with that? Whoa.
Starting point is 00:38:17 What'd you say, man? What's your name? Alex Bornstein. Alex Bornstein. I'm all fair in comedy to me me But how come She's been able To get away with that And why have I been able To get away with that
Starting point is 00:38:29 I know So My theory I mean Because I know Alex Right Because My first season of Mad
Starting point is 00:38:37 Was her last season Right So I spent Half of a season With her Right And What
Starting point is 00:38:44 What's so funny It was like Back in the day I mean She was kind of like Half of a season with her. Right. And, what? What's so funny? It was like back in the day, I mean, she was kind of like Shane Gillis and you were kind of like Bowen Yang. I guess so. Yeah, I guess so. But Bowen Yang couldn't say anything. I think, no, bro, I think you're right. I think my hire, right, even though it wasn't said, right, was because there was beginning, there was a little bit of a backlash. Oh.
Starting point is 00:39:09 Right? And I feel like, because I remember after she left, Fox called the executives and said, can he take over the character? Wow. I miss one. I go, absolutely not. You're like, what? No. Right.
Starting point is 00:39:22 That's her character. Right. Right? Yeah. So when they said that, I was kind of like, that's weird. You know what I mean? Yeah. And I kind of like, but I had no problems with that character because she's not Asian.
Starting point is 00:39:34 Right. What is she? The character, was it Asian? No. Who is she supposed to be? A Miss Swan? Yeah. She's more like Icelandic Bjork.
Starting point is 00:39:43 Was it? Well, that's what I think she said. So I have to give her the bit of the doubt, right? Because if you watch Miss Swan, she never says, I'm from Singapore or anything like that. Right? So it's like, That's like going,
Starting point is 00:39:55 Haro, how are you? Haro, Haro, how are you? I'm from Finland. Haro, I'm Chile. I'm from Chile I'm from Chile Yeah Yeah It's like
Starting point is 00:40:07 How are you? I'm Russian It's something like Yeah you're right Yeah Yeah yeah Oh she's Oh she's
Starting point is 00:40:16 I think she spun it like It's from a different Different It's from a It's from an imaginary Asian Right So it's like With that
Starting point is 00:40:24 You're like okay Right Yeah, right? So it's like, with that, you're like, okay. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right. But she's like, so talented. Right. That girl? Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:40:32 Yeah, well, that's comedy used to just be that, right? Like, is it funny or not? Yeah. For me, funny is the most important thing. So it's like, you know, when I was on that, you know, I got to see her. I was Key and Peele when they were young. You know what I mean? Mike McDonald, all these guys. So it was like a real blessing
Starting point is 00:40:47 to be... I was just thinking about how funny it is that people have just made some comedy illegal. They're just like, there's some things you just, you can't do that. Is it a crime? They're like, no, you just can't do it. People's feelings are on the line. You're like, yeah, life's...
Starting point is 00:41:03 People's feelings are on the line all the time. Yeah. But don't you feel it's changing? I feel like it's changing back. I don't think... I think it depends where you go. I think it's splintered. And it'll never come back together.
Starting point is 00:41:16 Yeah, because I was just in San Jose, and I was doing jokes that I normally, five years ago, I wouldn't be able to do. Live? Because I never feel anything live. To be honest with you, I never feel... Yeah, live. And I never feel... My jokes are...
Starting point is 00:41:29 It's like I don't feel anything. That's what I'm saying. That's why I feel like it's not... I feel like it's an imaginary thing almost. I think it almost always kind of was a little bit. Yeah. And I also think that... And I don't really have a stake in this, but it was a little bit. Yeah. And I also think that, and I don't really have
Starting point is 00:41:45 a stake in this, but I feel like people who are canceled, are they really canceled? You know what I mean? Right. Because we know a lot of our friends

I've seen them, too, two weeks ago. Yeah. Well, yeah, I had a little emotional breakdown on the road, and he had to be my therapist.
Starting point is 00:45:45 What happened? I just had some childhood trauma that crept up on me, and I was sad. Like what? Well, just how I was left alone and abandoned by my family when I was very young, and I was just there with my mentally challenged brother, and I just felt like his older brother,
Starting point is 00:45:59 but I was really his younger brother, and my parents were never there, and I just got scared in that room, and that trauma just hits me. Out of nowhere. And then Jared, who's a chaplain for his black fraternity. No, it's a regular fraternity. It's a regular fraternity.
Starting point is 00:46:11 He's a chaplain for it. So he used to talk to all the guys. So he came in, he gave me some really good lessons. He said, you got to leave the trauma, you got to leave the trauma, take the lesson. No, you have to work on, you have to do EMDR and really work on it. What's EMDR? It's what they're doing for trauma therapy. It's like you've got to find a trauma therapist that's familiar with that technique,
Starting point is 00:46:33 and you've got to go through that process. I was also shot. That was traumatic. Yeah, because what happens is that stuff stays in your body, and it turns into diseases later. It does. Yeah, I mean, it turns into physical manifestations of that trauma.
Starting point is 00:46:48 And unless you release it from your body, it's damaging in the long run. Do you think that it's been pulling my eyes closer together? Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you didn't know me and you walked in, would you think that was a chance I was blind? Not blind, but I wouldn't probably talk to you at a party. No, that's honest.
Starting point is 00:47:10 It is honest, right? Because you don't look like, yeah, from afar, you look like a grip. Like if I'm in a Hollywood movie. You don't know what I'm doing there. I would have looked at you and I was like, oh yeah, he's behind the scenes doing something. Like grunt work of some sort, you know what I'm doing there. I would have looked at you and I was like, oh yeah, he's behind the scenes doing something. Like grunt work of some sort. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:47:30 You know, it's the real struggle being an in-betweener. Just like not being good looking enough to be like an actor and not being bad looking enough to be like truly a comedic vessel. I'm just in between. I'm just like in between. I'm like, there's some basketball players I'm like. I'm like Mac McClung. Too small for the twos, too slow for the one. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:52 Yeah. But no, I think you're perfect, though. Because you're never going to be the lead. Ever. Ever, no. But either am I. Yeah, yeah. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:48:02 Yeah. But you're going to be like in the office if they do a movie. You know what I mean But you're gonna be like In the office if they do a movie In the background somewhere No not background but you're gonna be the guy That's like embezzling money And they sit you down So you can see that
Starting point is 00:48:16 Have you noticed that I've lost a little weight My jawline's a little better Honestly you look fucking great When I saw you at the thing I didn't recognize you I really didn't You're very honest and so I know I do look good Because Because when I saw you at the thing I didn't recognize you Right I really didn't Yeah Because you're very honest And so I know I do look good Because you've said some horrible things
Starting point is 00:48:29 About my looks So I know if you're saying I look great It means it's true Yeah you really do It's shocking Chris does too DeStefano Yeah I think he's

Starting point is 00:49:10 Oh, you need it. It would change your life. I know. I paid for it. I took the thing. The sleep study. The sleep study. It's still there. You got to pick it up at six in the morning. I was like, I'm not doing it. They can deliver them to your house now. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:25 You get it delivered to your house, you do it, and then there's an app. Yeah, but my fear is that I'm going to, I don't know what it entails, like tubes or whatever. No, it's very easy. Yeah, the fear is that you're going to be diagnosed with severe sleep apnea, and then the only remedy for that is the mask. Which is fine. I'm fine with that. You're okay with that. But I'm afraid that I'm not going to be able to fall asleep with the shit on.
Starting point is 00:49:44 Well, then you'll die From sleep apnea Is that really Yeah it's a very dangerous thing I have to do it I'll do it when I get back Yeah do it when you get back Yeah yeah yeah

Starting point is 00:54:08 They pump the heat in the summer. It's kind of crazy. In the winter, you mean? I mean in the winter, yeah. They pump it. It's funny because in New York, it's hotter in the winter in your house than it is in the summer.
Starting point is 00:54:19 There's no way of turning it off. There's no way to turn it off. That's insane. It's an old heater. Really? Wow, that's crazy. It's so hot in here. Pre-World War II building.
Starting point is 00:54:26 And this is where people want to live. When you say it's pre-World War II, people get excited, but that means that the heat is going to pump like this. There's no way to regulate it. The only way is to open the window. Oh, I see. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:37 Yeah. You want us to do that? Yeah. Yeah. Just a little bit. Just a little bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Imagine I'm lying and we just crank the heat to get you to take off your jacket. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Just a little bit. Just a little bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tell me about me. Imagine I'm lying and we just crank the heat to get you to take off your jacket.
Starting point is 00:54:47 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Tell me about me or no? Okay, you. I don't believe you're really Asian. I think it's a lie. I think it's a character you're doing.
Starting point is 00:55:02 No, I think... See, let's analyze what you just did there, right? Right, a joke. A joke, right? Yeah. But I was real with you, right? Right, right. And then you just needed to do that.
Starting point is 00:55:13 Right. Why? Because it was there and I took it. I know you were... There were so many things I could have said, too. You could have, you did. But I was like, I want to go real here, right? Was it truly real, though?
Starting point is 00:55:22 Why would I say that? Right. Yeah, like, Andrew's not on that list. Right. I love him dearly. I think I might, I love him more than I love you. Right, but you just know that I'm a sweeter guy. I think you're a nicer guy.
Starting point is 00:55:34 Yeah. That's the way the world works, you know? If you're nicer, you have less podcast numbers. Wait, so why do you love him more than me, though? Now I'm curious. Because I just know him more. I mean, we were, he's somebody that, he's like a brother to me. Andrew Schultz?
Starting point is 00:55:47 No, Santino. Oh, you're talking about Santino. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, that makes sense. That guy's a huge, though. No, Schultz is great. Schultz is a great guy. No, Santino's a piece of shit.
Starting point is 00:55:54 I don't trust him at all. I just didn't recognize because you didn't say piece of shit. Right. Right? The Schultz, I don't trust at all. Right, no, Schultz is. I called him the other day and he never even picked up. Oh, no, Schultz, he's the face of evil. I don't think he's the, I don't trust at all Right no Schultz is I called him the other day And he never even picked up Oh no Schultz is
Starting point is 00:56:05 He's the face of evil I don't think he's I don't know about that Yeah no I go like this I go Saddam Hussein Yeah yeah I go Schultz And then I go Putin
Starting point is 00:56:12 And then I go Amy Schumer Yeah yeah But like he I'm kidding I'm joking Yeah tell me about me Okay about you Without a joke though Without a joke
Starting point is 00:56:21 Yeah yeah And if it's negative I can handle it Because I want to work on it. Okay. I want to work on it. Okay. But don't go, well, you're going to text people back.
Starting point is 00:56:30 No, I'm going to go real. I'm going in there. Go real. I'm going to go real. Okay. I think you're somebody who is very sensitive with a big heart. So sensitive. I think you've got some damage in there. I think there's some
Starting point is 00:56:46 damage. So damaged. I think you probably have some self-esteem issues. Yeah, I guess so. But I think that... Wait, wait, wait. Can I just ask you something? Yeah. Why? Why do you think that? Well,
Starting point is 00:57:02 I just think maybe because you're a comedian. You became a comedian, and so you want approval of people who aren't in your family. So that we all have that a little bit. Okay. Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:57:15 Keep going. I think you're the type of guy that it may take a little while to break down the walls or to get to know you, It may take a little while to break down the walls or to get to know you, but I think behind that is an absolute tyrant. I think you're a horrible human. See what I'm saying? I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:57:34 I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Okay, earnestly, no. I think you're one of the guys in this business who is real. I think you're real. Okay?
Starting point is 00:57:46 I think when you take out your asshole, you want to do it and you think it's really funny. And I think that there's nothing, absolutely nothing wrong with that. Somebody's got to do it. Yeah. And I'm not just saying that. I'm saying it's funny.
Starting point is 00:57:58 It makes me laugh hard. I have a friend, Jason Rouse. He used to do that. I don't think, till this day, nothing makes me laugh that hard. It's comedy. I love Jason. I hate when people get arrogant about comedy because essentially, none of us are as funny as a fart.
Starting point is 00:58:11 We're all chasing the fart. The fart is the king of comedy. Exactly. So it's like, if it makes you laugh, and not everyone's gonna be the same. Not everyone's gonna be Bal Hex or whatever. You know what I mean? It's like, everything's gotta be different. But I think you... It's so long. I think you're a piece of good...
Starting point is 00:58:29 It's not... It doesn't feel good. Here's the deal. Here's what the deal is. You're a tiny, tiny man. No. No, here's the deal. No, you're a sweet guy. Obviously. You're a sweet guy with a heart.
Starting point is 00:58:43 Shut up, man! No, you are. You're fucking around right now, dude. I'm not. It could have been so easy. You're not making it easy. You're a complicated guy. You're a complicated guy who can't get it in a sentence. All right.
Starting point is 00:58:56 Okay. So I'm just a complex, dynamic guy. I have good and bad. I believe that you are... I think you, in part, you want to be a woman. See? See what you're doing? You're not bisexual. There's something
Starting point is 00:59:13 unconscious that's driving you. Driving me to what? Autogenophilia. What? You maybe want to be a woman inside. I don't want to be a woman. You sure? Is that the reputation on me? No, there's no reputation. Honestly, is there a reputation that I want to be a woman. You sure? Is that the reputation on me? No, there's no reputation. Honestly, is there a reputation that I want to be a woman? See, that's low self-esteem, insecurity.
Starting point is 00:59:30 Why would you care about what other people think about you? I think you're guarded. That's what I'm going to say. I'm definitely going to go guarded. What do you mean guarded? Like you're guarded from your personality. You're guarding your personality. I'm not going to say you're a woman. I think you're guarded but I think you're sweet
Starting point is 00:59:46 here's the deal there's two types of comedy you're delicate let's move on we gotta move on there's two types of comedians white and Asian you're Asian
Starting point is 00:59:56 there's not what? there's so many different types no I'm just saying what are you talking about? what are you talking about dude? you want to know about you I said you're Asian
Starting point is 01:00:04 yeah I know man that's a fact about you how about? You want to know about you? I said you're Asian. That's a fact about you. I talk about who I am. To you then. You're a real person is what I'm saying. There's two types of comedians. Ones who are sociopathic and ones that are real and sensitive. You're the real and sensitive.
Starting point is 01:00:22 And Asian on top of it. So what you're saying is that is all comics sensitive? Or sociopathic. Those are the two that I... There's only two characters. I've, in my... So if I'm
Starting point is 01:00:32 one of the sensitive ones, that's not really a compliment or anything like that, right? No, you could be sensitive to other people. You're just saying you're a comic,
Starting point is 01:00:40 so that's one thing, right? I also said you're... There's nothing special you're saying about me. I said you're one of the sweetest guys I've ever met, the top three. Yeah, but that's only because I said that about you, man're just... There's nothing special you're saying about me. I said you're one of the sweetest guys I've ever met. The top three. Yeah, but that's only because I said that about you, man.
Starting point is 01:00:47 You didn't hear it. No, the thing is... I said that about you, and then all of a sudden you're saying it, but it's fine. I don't... You know what I mean? You know how crazy that is? Yeah. And people are going to watch this, and we...

Starting point is 01:01:14 Being honest is just funnier. Yeah. See, now I know you were full of shit the first time calling me the sweetest guy. No, no, no. You wanted to call me a big guy. No, because I want to get real. And you didn't do that.
Starting point is 01:01:23 So I want to get real. Right? That was real. That's what you do that. You didn't get real. Right? That was real. That's what you really thought. Yeah. That's you. Okay? That's you, dude.
Starting point is 01:01:33 You're a fucking idiot. No, dude. Why did you get to me? Don't fuck around, man. I told you you were evil. I'm not evil, dude. I'm just saying I'm a survivor, dude. That's right.
Starting point is 01:01:41 Right? Yeah. So I gave you a compliment, right? I got vulnerable. You acted like an asshole. No. And now I'm back to being defensive. I don right. Right? Yeah. So I gave you a compliment, right? I got vulnerable. You acted like an asshole. No. And now I'm back to being defensive. What do you want me to say?
Starting point is 01:01:48 I don't know you that well. You're guarded. Okay, good. So how do you know me if I'm sweet? You don't know me outside of... It's like when you meet like... Let me give you an example. Just give me a second, okay?
Starting point is 01:02:02 Like when you meet Jay Leno for the first time. You know he's a prick. No. Oh, okay. Sorry. No, he's fundamentally, I mean, you have to put, like, you know, he's been in the business forever, right? He was a talk show host, super famous guy, right?
Starting point is 01:02:19 And, you know, you have to put all that into the ingredients of who the man is, right? But if you take that stuff out, fundamentally, though, he really is just a nice guy. Right. It's basically what... And when I look at you, right? And so it's like... That's why... I mean, I don't know you that well, but I just think that I do know you well enough
Starting point is 01:02:37 to trust you to a certain extent. With your life? At its core. I think so, yeah. Would you trust me with your life? Yeah. I mean, yeah, you said it's a zombie apocalypse. That's big. Yeah its core. I think so, yeah. Would you trust me with your life? Yeah. I mean, yeah, you said it's a zombie apocalypse. That's big.
Starting point is 01:02:47 Yeah, that's big. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, I'm going to be completely honest. Okay. I feel like you're, at your core, a really nice guy. Okay. But I would not trust you with my life. You wouldn't?
Starting point is 01:03:00 I would not. Why? Not farther than I could throw you. Why? Because I'm racist against Asians. Like, if you were like... Wait, is this pre-COVID or post-COVID? No, no, no.
Starting point is 01:03:11 What's the scenario? What's the scenario? Is it pre or post? I just need to know. First of all, okay, about the COVID, okay? Okay. Number one, dude, you weren't told about it, but you know that you did it.
Starting point is 01:03:26 No. What I want to say about that is that all jokes aside, right, you're sorry on behalf of your people. I'm sorry about COVID. Of course I am. I'm sorry. You know what I mean? You should be. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:03:39 Another Asian, you know what I mean? Right. Group of people. Right. You know what I mean? What do you mean another Asian group of people? I'm not Chinese, right? Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 01:03:47 Yeah. I'm Korean. Wuhan's not in China. Right. Right. So Wuhan is not in China, right? Yeah. I don't think that it would have
Starting point is 01:03:55 happened in Korea. Right. Right? I think that, and I don't want, because I've been down this road before and I get in trouble. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:03 Right? So I'm going to slowly, you know, but, you know. But, you know, let's be honest, Chinese people, if it moves, they eat it. Do you want to start an upside? Yeah, this part is all jokes, by the way. It's all jokes. This video, it may take it down now.
Starting point is 01:04:21 Why? Oh, I don't know. We're doing comedy. This is for comedy. This is comedy. I love the people. You know what I mean? But, I don't know. We're doing comedy. This is for comedy. This is comedy. I love the people. You know what I mean? But they will eat anything
Starting point is 01:04:27 is what you're saying. Well, have you ever been to a Chinese market in China? I've heard about them, yeah. I mean, they... Like, you can buy butterfly wings. You can eat... They'll eat anything.
Starting point is 01:04:36 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, the shoulder of a meerkat. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, you want shoulder of a meerkat, right? You're like, I don't put that in the stew. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:04:44 But they put it in the stew and stuff. What is that? Why do they just eat anything? Like, they... It's me a cat, right? You're like, I don't put that in the stew. You know what I mean? But they put it in the stew and stuff. What is that? Why do they just eat anything? With protein. That is true. Yeah. But they don't put like a moral attachment on to like a cat or a dog or anything like that? Well, that's okay.
Starting point is 01:04:58 So, you know, the... What the fuck? Bobby Kelly. Is it really? Yeah, should I pick it up? No. Yeah, pick it up. Well, we missed him, so it's all right.
Starting point is 01:05:11 Like the Yulin, you've heard of the Yulin Dog Eating Festival? Yes, of course. How could I not? I follow white women on Instagram. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like those types of things. I mean, it's cultural, you know what I mean? And this and that, but it's like, come on, man.
Starting point is 01:05:27 Right. Right, I don't know. It's a little like dogs are like, have souls. They're humans. It's not just that. It's just I remember because I- Unless you're hungry. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:37 Maybe, because I've never been at a point, though, in my life where I was so hungry. I mean, I would look at like Skippy, you know what I mean? Right. And go, God damn. You know what God damn, I've never been there. But I would have to say that when I was younger, we never had animals. So it's like, they were all fair game. So if I was driving down the street and I saw a dog, I would speed up and try to run it over because I didn't care. I would take a BB gun and shoot kittens in the eye. I didn't care. Right? I would take a BB gun and shoot kittens in the eye. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:06:05 Like, I didn't have an attachment to animals. Right? So why were you giving me a hard time about not calling you a great person? My point, though, is that...
Starting point is 01:06:13 Why can't I just have my intuition and stick with it? When I met Kalilah, when I met Kalilah, right, and we had Ming, right,
Starting point is 01:06:20 and never had a pet before. Right. And once you make a connection with these animals, right, you can no longer even, you know what I mean? Right. Consider hitting them with your car.
Starting point is 01:06:36 I know, but I didn't know. It's like a squirrel. Right. You know what I mean? Like, I didn't give a fuck. But now it's like, you know, even like if you look at YouTube, this guy who saved this calf, this cow calf, and now this calf lives with this white dude, right?
Starting point is 01:06:53 Right. And every morning the calf, like this cow, greets him at his front door and he licks his face. You know what I mean? Right. And ever since I saw that video, I'm like, maybe cows are done for me too. Right, right, right, right.
Starting point is 01:07:03 I mean, I might even eventually become a vegetarian. I know what you're saying. Do you really? I do, yeah, no. Because there's a connection or something, and there's a soul there,
Starting point is 01:07:12 and it's like, I don't know how long, but, but we are meant to, I mean, I feel like we're carnivores, and so I don't know how to feel about it. You know what's interesting is,
Starting point is 01:07:22 why? Why don't we wait for Wu-Han to do this? Yeah. Because I feel like we were going on an uncomfortable road and we went, let's go this way. Yeah, I think that's what happened. I think we went like that. Yeah, it was a hard way. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:35 I mean, once you say the Chinese people will eat anything... It's an observation. It's not a fucking bad thing they said. Desensitized to having connections with animals. That's what a fucking... It's an observation. It's an observation. It's not a fucking bad thing that I said. Right. They're just desensitized to having connections with animals. That's what you basically said. Because they don't have souls is what you're saying. I mean, like, for instance, my parents had, like, dried squid hanging in the fucking kitchen, right?
Starting point is 01:07:59 That's acceptable. I know, but then I saw that documentary, My Octopus's Teacher or whatever, on Netflix. You ever heard of it? Yeah. You ever heard of that one? Yeah. What is it called? My Teacher's Octopus? Exactly, yeah. No, what's it called?
Starting point is 01:08:11 Octopus Teacher. Is that what it's called? Uh-huh. You see it? No. All right. But it's like, and that little octopus would recognize the guy and play with him and stuff like that. And it's like, after watching that, I don't eat that shit anymore.
Starting point is 01:08:24 You know what I mean? Fish I'll eat. Because they, you know that I don't eat that shit anymore You know what I mean Fish I'll eat Because they You know Fish don't have expressions They don't They don't have Warm up
Starting point is 01:08:31 Yeah Expression Yeah I guess one Yeah Like they're both Yeah Yeah
Starting point is 01:08:35 Why do you think People care more about the dogs Than they do Chinese people Like when you go to those White women's Instagram pages and they're talking about the festival
Starting point is 01:08:48 and they're upset about that, they're not upset about the Uyghur Muslims, they're not upset about the Chinese starving. Why do they care more about dogs and Chinese? It's so interesting, yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:56 You're right. I don't know, but they should. They should. Do you care more about dogs and white people? Or do you care more about white people?
Starting point is 01:09:04 Are you a little racist against white people ever? You find yourself discriminating. Because I've noticed in your house there's no white people that live there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which I was found curious. I have, the honest truth is that I have pent up rage against white people.
Starting point is 01:09:21 I can sense that. Yeah, and I have, because you as a, and I'm not complaining, I'm just saying, because I love my life, and I, White people won, and that's frustrating.
Starting point is 01:09:37 Sorry, sorry. I know how it is. But you guys are coming back right now, strong, strong. Strong. No, but as an Asian kid growing up in San Diego during the 80s, there's all these mini little microaggressions that you endure, right? And you don't feel it at the time, but as years go by, it builds up. It's like little things like,
Starting point is 01:10:07 like I was on a plane once, and this old white man sat next to me. It was Southwest Airline. And he looks at me and he goes, first thing out of his mouth is, my granddaughter, she loves that Hello Kitty. Right. Was his opening line.
Starting point is 01:10:24 Right. I didn't invent it. Right, right, right. I'd be on Southwest right now if I, right? It's like, and you endure every day when that happens, right? You just kind of,
Starting point is 01:10:34 you know what I mean? And it's always from white people, right? Right. And it's like, one time I was working at a, I did construction for a stuff. Black people are very kind to Asians. I don't know, man.
Starting point is 01:10:44 I don't think so, no. I was being sarcastic. I think that, but also we've been really bad toward them. Yeah. You know what I mean? And I think 92. LA riots with all the, yeah. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:11:01 It changed it. Right. Have you noticed since 92, black people can do whatever they want in the liquor store. Right. Right. Do you know what I'm saying? Right.
Starting point is 01:11:11 You're saying things have gotten bad. What? You're saying it's bad. No, it's good. Oh. Because it's like, you know, we... I love how many third rail topics we're just going at. I know.
Starting point is 01:11:21 Let's get into the race. Right. I know. Let's get into the race. Right. I know. No, but what I'm saying, though, is, is that like the relations, relations, especially in L.A. between black people and Asians have improved, I think, greatly. I mean, till covid. And then that took a little bit of time. Some black people were getting randomly hit on the street. Anyway, I worked construction.
Starting point is 01:11:43 Let's go back to that. Right. Yeah. And I remember I was a runner. And one day, the other runner, who happened to be a white guy, he got sick. So as a runner, you had to go to different hardware stores and pick up supplies and stuff. And so I did his route one day. And I walked into a hardware store and this like gigantic white dude in an
Starting point is 01:12:05 overall he had overalls on and he goes hey man who are you and I go oh no because Jim is you know he goes is Jim is the that's the American looking one right wow and he said the American looking room and I remember that stayed with me right it's like bitch I was I was born here too bitch you know I mean but you endure all these little things, right? And eventually, there is a rage. You just hate all white things. No, no, no, no. I love Casper,
Starting point is 01:12:31 the friendly ghost. He's white, you know what I mean? You know what I mean? There's a lot of white, like, you know what I mean? I like white things, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:12:36 Satin sheets and stuff. Yeah. Those are cool, but my point is, and I love white women, I love white people. You know what I mean? It's just that there is
Starting point is 01:12:42 a little bit of a thing, you know what I mean? I know what you're talking about because there's been a few times that I've endured a few of those as a Greek. Like, yeah, your dad owns a diner or something. Like, what diner does your dad own? And that was said earnestly by, like, my friend's dad or something.
Starting point is 01:12:55 Yeah. And it bothered me. But I don't know why it did bother me. Yeah, yeah. Like, I can remember them. You remember them. Why does it bother? Because it's almost like, fuck you, dude.
Starting point is 01:13:02 My dad's an attorney or whatever. Yeah, because, you know, this is overall assumption or whatever that happens. And it's like, everyone's lives are so complex. And you know what I mean? Not everyone's the same. But people put each other in little boxes and stuff. But my point is that it just gets... So many white women have looked at my dick.
Starting point is 01:13:22 Right? Right. And they went, yeah. No. Yuck. No, no, no. They would always go, oh, it's not as small as I imagined. Right.
Starting point is 01:13:34 Right? Right. That always kind of throws me off. But it should make you feel kind of good, a little good. Yeah, I guess. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, if it was like the opposite, like, oh, it's smaller than I imagined. Is that why you take it out so much?
Starting point is 01:13:49 You're proud of it? Yeah. Yeah. See the brilliant comedic timing on that? Yeah, I love it. I mean, you're born with that. I love it. Yeah, that was comedic.
Starting point is 01:14:01 That was a comedic pause. Yeah. It's a good one. That was perfect. And I would never change it for the... Like, if there was a store, like a dick store, and it's detachable...
Starting point is 01:14:09 You would change it. I'd get a polish. Yeah. I would bring it into the shop. To clean it up. To clean it up. But you would change it. And the size and shape and color now.
Starting point is 01:14:18 You love him. I love him. I like the engine. Your Gen Z dick. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Would you change it? Like, if there was a store... I would change mine. Yeah, I'm not a big fan of mine. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Would you change it like if there was a store? I would change mine.
Starting point is 01:14:25 Yeah, I'm not a big fan of mine. Yeah, get a new V6? Yeah, my dick, when it's hard, my wife who married me when I, back in the dick fix, dick pic phase
Starting point is 01:14:33 where I sent her a dick pic when I was living in Miami, she said it looked perfect. But what she didn't know is I doctored it. Wait, wait, wait. You put like, I photoshopped it. Oh, you filter on it? I photoshopped it.
Starting point is 01:14:46 Oh, you did? Yeah, I photoshopped it. And you surrounded it with small things. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I just like filtered it. I kind of removed some blemishes and I sent it. It was like, I gave her like a magazine covered version of my dick.
Starting point is 01:14:58 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You got to be hand brushed. Yeah, yeah. But my dick. Was there liver spots on it or something? No liver spots.
Starting point is 01:15:03 Just a cancer spot. It was just like a rook chest piece. Yeah. yeah. But my dick- Was there liver spots on it or something? No liver spots, just a cancer spot. It was just like a rook chest piece. Yeah. Have you seen it? No. Oh, okay. How do you think you got the job? Now, how do you solve racism?
Starting point is 01:15:15 Because I know- What the fuck are you talking about? Dude, what if Bobby- What if Bobby Lee has the fucking answer? And like, you gotta, there's like, it's in him. Movie idea, right now. Boom, write it. You're the starring person.
Starting point is 01:15:34 The fucking secrets are in you. But people gotta like do something. Like crack you open or fucking tickle you to death or whatever, and then it comes out. There's gotta be something to get it open. And they're chasing you all over, and you don't want it because you're scared of them. What do you mean?
Starting point is 01:15:49 I'm like an egg? You're like an egg that needs to be... The secrets are in Bobby Lee, but only bad people know it, and they're coming after you. Because you're like the Big Lebowski. You're like the dude, because you're not smart, right?
Starting point is 01:16:05 Are you pitching me a movie right now? All right, so I'm a movie executive. Yeah, nobody would expect that it would be. All right, so let's play it out, right? Right. Welcome to Wanderlust Films. How you doing, Mr. Greenberg? How are you?
Starting point is 01:16:17 Hello. And how are you, Silverstein? Silverstein's fine. How are you? Don't look at him. Yeah. So my point is, I mean, welcome. And how are you, Phoebe Robinson?
Starting point is 01:16:25 I don't know why you're here, but. So, you know, we only have a couple of minutes because we have. Why do you have a, who's this guy?
Starting point is 01:16:31 This is my, that is my, he's my beard. He's, for any time I've said anything that's not colorful, just know I have a black friend. All right,
Starting point is 01:16:39 pitch the movie. We have two minutes. Yes. I'm sorry about that. Yeah. Okay. So what is it? So the movie is,
Starting point is 01:16:44 I don't know if you're familiar with the comedian, Bobby Lee. Big fan. Big I'm sorry about that. Yeah. Okay, so what is it? So the movie is, I don't know if you're familiar with the comedian Bobby Lee. Big fan. Big, I mean, he, I love him. Listen. Yeah. Let me tell you something.
Starting point is 01:16:52 He's someone who I, Is he, is she on Grey's Anatomy? No, that's, Oh, that's Sandra Oh. That's Sandra Oh. My bad. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:01 Sandra Oh. He was in Heroes. No, he's on a podcast. Oh! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He was a trailblazer. He was on Mad TV. He was probably one of the first Asian people in America.
Starting point is 01:17:14 We've seen his penis. Yes. Is that guy the penis guy? The penis guy. No, no, no, no. That's King Jong- Oh, with the hangover. That's King Jong.
Starting point is 01:17:21 Oh, I see. Yeah, that's another guy. Yeah. And that guy doesn't- There's no penis there. Yeah, any who pitched the movie. Yeah, sorry. So. That's King Kong. Oh, I see. Yeah, that's another guy. Yeah. And that guy doesn't, there's no penis there. Yeah, any who pitched the movie. Yeah, sorry. So Bobby Lee's a comedian. He's a little portly, which is perfect,
Starting point is 01:17:31 because I think he's coming into his own, right? Like, he used to be skinny and kind of better looking, but now he looks kind of like it's falling apart, right? Which is good, which makes him the perennial underdog. He's so funny. His comedic timing's so great. The movie. The movie is.
Starting point is 01:17:46 Bobby Lee. He's just an unassuming Asian, South Korean from San Diego who's had a lot of microaggressions against him and has a lot of rage against whites. Okay. Guess who's looking for him? White supremacists.
Starting point is 01:18:00 Why? Because they've been told by Jesus, so they know it's true, that the secret to – wait, why would white supremacists want to end racism? That's why it's a comedy. So the white supremacists want to end racism because they're tired of being white supremacists. But until they can stop racism, they have to continue being white supremacists. Wow, okay. The key to the end of racism is in
Starting point is 01:18:30 Bobby Lee's asshole, which he opens up and talks out of on stage. May I make some suggestions? Yes. So what he does is, Bobby Lee, because we have a deal with X-Men. Okay. So let's make him a mutant.
Starting point is 01:18:46 Okay. His only power, though, is in his butthole, right? If you have sex with him, right? He has the ability for you to change with another race and to live their life. Wow. Right? So that's the power.
Starting point is 01:19:01 Yeah, so if he goes to, like, Idaho, to some sort of, like, you know, KKK compound. Right. He that's the power. Yeah. So if he goes to like Idaho, to some sort of like, you know, KKK compound. Right. He bends over. We make the butthole very just like illustrious. Right. Well, let's think. We could use, you know what?
Starting point is 01:19:15 We could use Jason Momoa's butthole because we have a deal with him. Valuable butthole. Right. It's Polynesian. He's got insurance on it. Yeah. Yeah. But the butthole, it's like a pineapple ring.
Starting point is 01:19:23 Oh, it's beautiful. Yeah. It's a beautiful butthole, Jason Momoa. So we CGI Jason Momoa's butthole, it's like a pineapple ring. Oh, it's beautiful. Yeah, it's a beautiful butthole, Jason Momoa. So we CGI Jason Momoa's butthole onto Bobby Lee, right? And he bends over, and maybe we have like a fairy dust that comes out. Right. It kind of like, you know, mesmerizes, right? They stick their dick in, right?
Starting point is 01:19:39 Boom, they're in South Central. They're black now. Wow. The whites. And they have to live their lives for five years. That's the power. Right. And he does that all over.
Starting point is 01:19:47 So everyone has to live other people's, you know what I mean, life in the color of their skin. Right? I love it. Trading places too. Is it trading places too? It's like trading places but to end racism. Right. Right.
Starting point is 01:19:59 Yeah. So the power's in Jason Momoa's butthole. So what do we do with Bobby Lee? No. Bobby Lee, we have Bobby Lee's full, but we don't want to use his, but we Momoa's butthole. So what do we do with Bobby Lee? No, Bobby Lee, we have Bobby Lee's full, but we don't want to use his, but we've seen his butthole. Jason Momoa's just standing. Oh!
Starting point is 01:20:10 We have the technology to put a little green screen ring around Bobby Lee's butthole, and then we put Jason Momoa's butthole, the pineapple ring, that's Polynesian butthole, around Bobby's butthole, because it just tests better. Yes, and you know what's great About Bobby Lee So the power When people fuck Bobby Lee
Starting point is 01:20:27 Is they turn Into another race And then they get to Learn the experience Of what it's like To be another one And the good thing About Bobby Lee
Starting point is 01:20:34 Is he likes to do His own stunts So that's great So we would have The guys actually fuck him Because he loves To do his own stunts Because the budget
Starting point is 01:20:41 Of this movie We're going to give you $10 so You know what I mean He's going to have To do his own And he's the budget of this movie, we're going to give you $10. So, you know what I mean? He's going to have to do his own. And he's got no problem with that. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:20:48 That's great. You know, he does it sometimes. He practices frozen pieces of dog shit. Right. But you know what's great, though? But, you know, we do have a stand-in that we would like to use, right? Because, you know, we knew this guy named Giannis. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:21:02 From New York. He's one of the top three people Bobby Lee's ever met that are nice. Right. So when, you know, because obviously Bobby Lee character has to go to
Starting point is 01:21:10 the KKK compound, but he also has to go to, you know what I mean, an urban area to fuck blacks, right? For them to turn white. Right. So we're going to use
Starting point is 01:21:19 Giannis for that. We're going to use Giannis for that because his butthole, right, looks like it's a gape Right Yeah yeah yeah Right
Starting point is 01:21:27 I don't know If he's available No he's available Because I think One of his podcasts Has started again Right I know that

Starting point is 01:24:13 Yeah And there's an outhouse Right Right, at this house And I remember when I was like 11 years old I had to take a shit in this outhouse I was in Korea Wait, you grew up here though? I know, but I was visiting I mean, they I had to take a shit in this outhouse. I was in Korea.
Starting point is 01:24:26 Wait, you grew up here, though. I know, but I was visiting. I mean, they had planes back then. Oh, okay. Yes, I was born in San Diego, right? Yeah. And my mom was like, we're going to Korea. So we went to go see my grandparents.
Starting point is 01:24:38 So if they had planes, why don't they get bricks for the house yet? Why are they so far behind on the fucking house? But check this out. Yeah. In this outhouse is just a hole, right? There's no, like, it's a hole in the ground. Right. And if you look down, it's, like, so deep with just piles of shit.
Starting point is 01:25:01 But it's, like, my great-great-grandfather's shit was in the... Think about it. Right. Korean time capsule. It's basically, right? Yeah. So what about this? What if I fall into there? In the movie.
Starting point is 01:25:10 Right. I like that. And that puts you through a time warp. And you go back. Because my grandparents' magical shit is down there. Yeah, that's how he gets his power. That's how he gets his power. Oh, it's by crawling down there.
Starting point is 01:25:21 Yeah, and I get scared. I'm drowning in shit, right? But you can't get... I can sink to the bottom, right? Yeah. And I see my great-great-grandparents or something. You know what I mean? Right, right.
Starting point is 01:25:32 And I get shit back up. You come back up with Dennis Robin. Yeah. Oh, shit, that's a good one. Yeah. Because I'm filled with shit? What are you talking about? Oh.

Starting point is 01:26:03 There's shit still there Why you think it's shit still there. Why? You think it's in the... I think it gets eaten by the ground. Oh, you think so? But still some fun elements of it, no? Yeah, sure. I mean, I'm not a shitologist.
Starting point is 01:26:15 Yeah, yeah. I don't know how that works. I think, I'm pretty sure the ground eats all the shit pretty quick because it has, the way it works is it's like a fertilizer for the ground.
Starting point is 01:26:23 Ah, I see, I see. So it takes it out. It absorbs it fertilizer for the ground Ah So they Takes it It absorbs it But not in your movie In your movie Your grandfather's shit Will still be there 500 year old shit I got it then
Starting point is 01:26:32 I got it You do a cut scene From 300 years ago Yeah Right And one of my ancestors Has a ring or something Right
Starting point is 01:26:40 And he's taking a shit And it falls down there And you gotta go and get it No I just slip in there As a you know what I mean, modern day Korean kid. But how do you fall into the toilet? I remember the hole being pretty big, though. Oh, so you just sit down and you're drunk and you fall right in.
Starting point is 01:26:55 Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then you come out and now you have this ring and now you can get revenge on all these white dudes in San Diego. That's a fun movie, too. Yeah. Instead of Cocaine Bear, it's Cocaine Bobby. Yeah. And you're going back and you're killing dudes in San Diego. That's a fun movie, too. Instead of Cocaine Bear, it's Cocaine Bobby. And you're going back and you're killing whites in San Diego. One fucking whitey at a time. No, I love white people, man.
Starting point is 01:27:12 Yeah, you go, you like Hello Kitty? And then you pick one up and you just fuck him with a frozen piece of dog shit. Have you ever had microaggressions toward white people or no? Microaggressions? Like white people towards you? I mean, there's a lot of people that call me
Starting point is 01:27:25 Chance the Rapper, so. Yeah. That's a good thing, though. Yeah. Not always when they tell you
Starting point is 01:27:29 to dance. Oh. Somebody said dance? Yeah, dance like Chance the Rapper. Does that make you mad? Yeah, it makes me mad.
Starting point is 01:27:36 Who said that to you? Many people. Life, you know, college. They say dance? If you dance like Chance the Rapper,
Starting point is 01:27:42 go dance. Yeah. What do they say to you Jesse As an Italian Jew? I've gotten a lot But most of my bullies were black Growing up I got bullied by black people
Starting point is 01:27:52 That's why you're so strong now That's right Yeah But if you think about it Yeah I believe though All those little things that happened to me Growing up
Starting point is 01:28:01 From my dad's abuse To all the trauma and all that stuff rejection toward from women microaggressions i think i needed to have all that to happen for me to get to the place that i'm at now i think so absolutely you know what i'm saying it's made me who i am now it's made me resilient in in many ways you know like i can withstand so much like that's why as a stand-up, you have to endure, you probably don't remember what it was like
Starting point is 01:28:29 when you first started. Do you remember? So long ago. Yeah, but, right, it was hard, though. It was very hard. Right, it's almost like, you literally think, oh, this is impossible.
Starting point is 01:28:40 Right. Like, how am I gonna make a living in this? This is insane because they treat you so poorly right there's so little opportunity and it's just like but you need that resilience to get through all that it's very true right yeah it's weird yeah you're still standing man yeah i'm still standing i'm not done not even close yeah i'm not even close to being done you know i mean so it's like know, so I guess the message is
Starting point is 01:29:06 don't kill yourself. Don't ever kill yourself. And you gotta go for it in life. And if you're feeling low, you gotta reach out to someone. That's true. You have to reach out. Reach out to Bobby. Reach out to Bobby. Yeah, you'll pick up.
Starting point is 01:29:21 I've never had a problem reaching out. I just got a year of sobriety. Congratulations, Bobby. That's very important. Thank you, thank you. That's earnest. No, thank you. Yes, give him a raise.
Starting point is 01:29:31 And I remember a year ago when I was sick, and I just called people and said, I'm sick, I need help. Yeah. I've never been, I've always been able to do that. That's good. Yeah. I don't have any problems with that.
Starting point is 01:29:46 You know, the perception we sometimes have about the amount of people who care about us versus the reality, the reality is almost everyone you know cares about you. You know, it's when you're down. It's like, so you can reach out to a lot of people
Starting point is 01:30:01 and they will respond and help. So you always hold on because it never lasts. You're just in a dark place. Yeah. And then, you know. 100%. The light comes after the darkness
Starting point is 01:30:13 and sometimes those dark places are necessary for you to be able to access some wisdom that, like you said, you can only get by going through that dark place. Rise up. Dante circles the hell.
Starting point is 01:30:22 Really? There was a time after mad tv i literally was like i'm never i'm done in this business i was so depressed and this is when like other asians were killing it like ken jung you know like every i couldn't even get auditions. And I just remember going, I'm so hopeless. But then it changed. It's so weird. I mean, I waited 10 years after that, but it just slowly changed. For 10 years it was completely dead?
Starting point is 01:30:57 Or you were doing stand-up and stuff. No, but it was weird because I would, after Mad TV, you know how if you got off of SNL, I remember Amy Poehler leaving SNL and just getting a bunch of deals and opportunities. We all waited back in line. It was really hard. Even Keegan and Jordan and Ike, we were all kind of back in line, which I guess in retrospect, it helped us because we had to kind of reinvent ourselves and, you know what I mean, figure it out, right? But at the time, I didn't think I'd be able to do it, you know what I mean? So it was like, no, yeah, I would do the road. I would go to a comedy club and I would sell maybe half the room. I would go to Houston Improv, sell half the room, and make whatever the guarantee was.
Starting point is 01:31:48 But it's like, it's decent, right? But it's not like, you know what I mean? It's not like you can't buy a house, right, in L.A., you know what I mean? So it's like... It's a low point, especially when you go up. Yeah, you're on a TV show for eight years, and then you leave, and you're like, oh, there's nothing available. You know what I mean? And it's hard. But it changed. leave and you're like, oh, there's nothing available. You know what I mean? And it's hard. But
Starting point is 01:32:05 it changed. So it's like, it gave me a valuable lesson of like, no, it's not. Even right now, it could change for the better or worse. I don't know what's going to happen. Right? But I will survive it. Right. You are a survivor. You're a survivor.
Starting point is 01:32:21 And anything that happens to you, it'll be because of you. Either you're going to go up or you're going to go down, but it's because of you. Either you're going to go up or you're going to go down, but it's because of you. One day at a time, you're doing great. Now, it's the end of the episode, so name fucking names. Is it the end now?
Starting point is 01:32:36 Yeah. I'm not doing it. Should I do it? You promised. If you're not a man of your word. Alright. Well, how did the podcast go, you think? It was incredible. You thought so? Promised. If you're not a man of your word. All right. Well, how did the podcast go, you think? It was incredible. You thought so? When have you done a bad podcast?
Starting point is 01:32:50 When have me and you done a bad podcast? That's true. We never do bad podcasts. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Was that good? It was good. Yeah, but in my head, it's like, because there's no way to know what it's like, though. Only they know.
Starting point is 01:33:03 I know. That's the thing. We put it out there. Yeah, yeah. You try. You put it out there though only they know i know that's the thing we put it out there yeah yeah you try you put it out there and but you never really i never i mean i mean i've done like podcasts that were like excellent in retrospect right you know i mean you know people get the views and stuff but at the time after you're done with it you're not going oh that was a masterpiece that's happened to me too yeah sometimes i'm like ah that't a masterpiece, but then that's the one people like more. Right, right.
Starting point is 01:33:26 So you never know. So you're basically saying you don't feel great about this one. No, I do. I feel great about it. So why'd you ask? I was just asking. I'm just trying to divert. I'm trying to divert.
Starting point is 01:33:37 Yeah. Away from the fact that you don't feel great about it. No, I'm trying to divert the fact that I have to name names. Oh, you're trying to get away from it. Right, right, right, right, right, right. Oh, no, you're the one. You're the one that promised. You're the one that promised. And you to get away from it. Right, right, right, right, right. Oh, no, you're the one that promised. You're the one that promised.
Starting point is 01:33:47 And you know what the expression is? Like, I read Confucius and Shave. You guys don't do that, you go to hell. Right, right, right. You got a different New Year's. I'm just playing by your rules. Right. Okay, I'll name some names.
Starting point is 01:33:56 Okay. Jim Jameson. Who the fuck is that? Who the fuck is that? It's one of the elites. It's one of the who? It's one of the elites? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:34:06 Franklin Thomas. Jesus Christ. You didn't have to do this, Bobby. So they're just pricks now. I'm just naming names. I'm just making it up. You're making it up. Oh, you're making it up.
Starting point is 01:34:16 Oh, yeah, because look, you got us Googling and shit. Jim Jamison. It's actually a whiskey. That guy in the glasses, man. What a piece of shit that guy is. Yeah, which one? Just name one person who you fucking hate so much you don't care if they hear it. You don't fucking care because you hate them so much.
Starting point is 01:34:30 You never want to work with them again. Just fucking. Okay, I'm going to name a name. Just say Tom Segura. I'm going to name a name, but I don't even know if it's real or not. Right. That's the thing. It's just that, you know, I i have i imagine some things right right i get
Starting point is 01:34:49 paranoid you know i mean about certain things right so there's one guy and i don't know why but i don't have a good feeling about him and i'll give him to give him the name bj novak B.J. Novak. I know who that is. Yeah. Yeah, I think everyone knows who that is. Wow, let's take a look at his eyes. Yeah, I don't know why. You just have a bad feeling about him.
Starting point is 01:35:17 Yeah. Are you sure it's him and you're not mistaking him with Seth Meyers? I know Seth, and I love Seth, and I want to say something about Seth Meyers, is that during that time when I was not doing well, he was the only one that helped me. That's incredible. Seth Meyers. Yeah. That's how you know who your friends are.
Starting point is 01:35:35 He called me and he goes, I'm doing this animated show called The Awesomes on Hulu. And he goes, I want to cast you as one of the guys. It was me, Ike Barinholtz holds him, a bunch of people, right? And even, what's the guy's name? Fucking, the main guy. Jimmy Fallon? No, the- Will Ferrell.
Starting point is 01:35:57 Will Ferrell. Producer. Lorne Michaels. Lorne Michaels. When Lorne Michaels goes, no, he has to read, Seth goes, he doesn't have to read, I'm going to give it to him. Wow. And he made me feel like I had a life vest.
Starting point is 01:36:11 Right. And I will always... See, when shit like that happens, when I'm in a desperate part and somebody helps me, I never forget it. Me neither. You forget it? No, I never forget it.
Starting point is 01:36:21 Never forget it. You're like an elephant, but you wouldn't know that since you hate animals. What? I'm like an elephant. Elephants always remember. Yeah, I love animals, dude. I never forget it. You're like an elephant, but you wouldn't know that since you hate animals. What? I'm like an elephant. Elephants always remember. Yeah, I love animals, dude. I have seven animals.
Starting point is 01:36:30 I have four dogs and three cats. So you're off. You're off. Now this is the time you flex on me. Yeah. You need a wink on that one. All right. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:36:37 But yeah, so... I'll just give you an example. I'll tell you why. Take his face off. I don't want to look at it Years ago When I was on that TV When he first moved to LA
Starting point is 01:36:52 I was with him And Bonnie McFarland Right And this was way before Bonnie knew Rich And We were at the Improv or something
Starting point is 01:37:03 And I had this Inn At a hot nightclub, right? Right. Because I was in the AA, and this guy from AA was the doorman. And even though I was on a sketch show, this and that, it was a hard place to get in,
Starting point is 01:37:17 but I got these two in, and we had a great time. Right. And then a couple years later, he got the office and all that stuff, right? And I remember going to Seth Meyers' birthday party because I was invited. And he walked up to me and he goes, what are you doing here? And he kind of walked away.
Starting point is 01:37:35 And it just, and I haven't seen him since then. Right. But it just kind of made me go, oh, enemy. Right? Right. Sometimes they do. oh enemy right right right sometimes they do and I couldn't I have so many of those stories actually
Starting point is 01:37:50 right I have like 20 of them I can rattle off right now we got all the time in the world I know but I cannot yeah we got all the time because a lot of them
Starting point is 01:37:55 I still hang out with right oh those are the best ones but I've had people like do and say things and behave in ways where I went oh okay it's a moment where they show their real colors But I've had people do and say things and behave in ways where I went, oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:38:06 It's a moment where they show their real colors. But it's a normal guy would let it go. Right. Right? But because I'm a trauma guy. Yeah. And because I'm Korean, I think a lot of it has to do with my culture. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:38:20 Because if you watch Korean movies, they're all about revenge. That is true. Yeah. Yeah. Koreans love revenge movies. because if you watch Korean movies, they're all about revenge. That is true. Yeah, yeah. Koreans love revenge movies. It's just like, and I think it has to do with the oppression of the Japanese and this and that,
Starting point is 01:38:31 but there is this like, you know what I mean, thing that we have that's like, I'll show you. Right. You know what I mean? Greeks have that same thing because of the Turks.
Starting point is 01:38:39 You're right. So there's like a revenge-y kind of a thing and it's not healthy. Right. I just got a list. What? You got a-y kind of a thing. And it's not healthy. Right. I just got a list. What? You got a list. I have a list.
Starting point is 01:38:47 But it's also, I probably even completely misinterpreted what he said at the party. I don't think so. It could have been a joke. I don't know. My point being, though, is that I have that. If it was a joke, he would have went, what are you doing here, walked away, and then turned around and giggled. He would have He would have went He would have went What are you doing here Walked away
Starting point is 01:39:06 And then turned around And giggled He would have laughed Right Right But can I tell you another He was disgusted By your presence
Starting point is 01:39:12 Right By the way you told the story But can I just tell you Why I think this is I could be wrong I'll tell you why And I'll dispute it I'll dispute it
Starting point is 01:39:21 Because I want it to be bad So there was another guy There's another big Hollywood actor Right That I knew way back in the day Right And I was How it. I'll dispute it. Because I want it to be bad. So there was another guy. There's another big Hollywood actor that I knew way back in the day. How big are we talking? He's big. I'll tell you who it is in a second. Okay, great. And I was at a pizza joint, right?
Starting point is 01:39:37 And I was eating pizza. And he was there with his family. I didn't see this guy in years. And he had blown up since I last saw him. And I looked at him. And he kind of looked up from his pizza and looked down and just didn't say anything. So in my head, I'm like, oh, he just dissed me. Because he knows who I am, right? He never saw me, though.
Starting point is 01:39:56 Because the, and then I started talking shit, you know what I mean, going, this guy, right? Well, how didn't he see you? I think he was just with his family and he was a little farther away and maybe it was, I don't know. Right. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:40:09 But he didn't. Who told you he didn't see you? He did. Exactly. Yeah. But he remembered, he went, he went,
Starting point is 01:40:19 oh yeah, I just didn't see you. I didn't see you. No, but then, I remember that. I didn't see you. Next time I saw him, which is years later, he ran up and gave me a hug.
Starting point is 01:40:28 Was that after Tiger Belly took off? Bad friends. Right, right. I don't know. Yeah. You think that that is? I mean, I'm just saying. John Stamos didn't come to the show kicking and screaming.
Starting point is 01:40:41 He wanted to be on it. I'm just saying, guys act a little different when you got a platform. Right. Can we just, before we end, I want to talk about that. Yeah. Because I have seen that.
Starting point is 01:40:52 Yes. Right? What is that? And then why do we accept it? It's phoniness. Based on self-interest. Yeah. Look at my theory though.
Starting point is 01:41:03 Okay. I'm not going to name who it is, but one time, years ago, I was at an open mic, and I saw this kid who I kind of dissed, because he was an open miker. He came up to me all excited,
Starting point is 01:41:20 and I was like, back up, whatever, right? And then later, he starts killing this kid, right? And then I just remember me dissing him. And then when I saw him again, I was super nice. So you were the other way around. Now, my point being is that because you can't let everyone in, right? Because imagine if we went and we let every open mic
Starting point is 01:41:43 or everyone that had a dream into our world. You just can't do it as a human being. Right. Your story's a little different. It's not. It's a little different. Why? Because it wasn't like you saw that he had a platform for you.
Starting point is 01:41:57 You saw that he was good as a comic. You were just giving him props. So you were just giving him props. Whereas the other scenario was about like, hey, there's something in it for me. I'm going to be cool now to that person. Yeah, but I don't think it's anything for me. I think it has to do with, oh, he is now on the rise again. Right.
Starting point is 01:42:16 Right. And now I'm going to be nice. Right. Right. But isn't that the same with the open mic-er? Well, what was your thought process? Is that why you did it? with the open mic-er?
Starting point is 01:42:22 Well, what was your thought process? Is that why you did it? No, sometimes it's like, I just, when people like, you know,
Starting point is 01:42:31 when you're at an open mic sometimes and, Wait, what were you doing at an open mic? Yeah, you were there too. No, at the comedy store
Starting point is 01:42:37 sometimes, you know, I'm in the main room and then they're doing the open mic. And you saw them killing it. So you, did you go up?
Starting point is 01:42:43 No, no, this guy didn't even kill it. I just, he was just with a bunch of kids. Right. He came up to me all like, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:42:49 Yeah. What's up, man? I'm so-and-so. I just started comedy. And I was like, back up. Right. Right? And then years later,
Starting point is 01:42:58 that guy is now killing it and that was nice to him. Yeah, I think that's different. No, that's different. It's the same thing. No, it's totally different. No, it's not. His energy was, yeah, his energy was way too much at the beginning. And it's like, yeah, you don't do it that way.
Starting point is 01:43:11 Not yet, at least. Yeah, not yet. You don't come like, so your reaction was appropriate. And then when he killed it, it actually shows a lot about you that you actually even fucking remembered the kid. I wouldn't even fucking remember that kid. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You actually remembered that kid and I wouldn't even fucking remember that kid. You actually remembered that kid and went up and then gave him props. So it just shows
Starting point is 01:43:29 that you're a fucking pro. I'll give you the name. Tiffany Haddish. So one time, this is way before Tiffany Haddish made it. Right. Oh my god. I can't believe I'm going to say this. So yeah, you had to be...
Starting point is 01:43:44 So I was, I was, so this is way before Kalilah, whatever. Yeah. And I was on a date with this girl. I was holding hands with this hot chick. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:43:51 Right. And I, I, from the comedy store to the laugh factory, I was holding her hand. Yeah. And I go, let's go to the laugh factory.
Starting point is 01:43:56 I was trying to flex that I can get into any comedy club. Right. Right. Right. Right. So as I'm walking toward the fucking laugh factory, I see Tiffany Hanish and she comes up to me and and she's, like, in a costume or something. And she's, like, pranking me.
Starting point is 01:44:09 You know what I mean? Hey, you know what I mean? You got some change or whatever, right? And she goes, oh, you're Bobby Lee. You're not funny. Oh, I don't know what the bit was, but she made me look foolish. Right. Right?
Starting point is 01:44:20 And all of a sudden, a camera came out of nowhere in my face, right? I go, don't fucking do this Why you bitch You know what I mean And I was like Being a fucking asshole Right And then I went in the club
Starting point is 01:44:30 And I go What's that girl's name And they go Her name is Tiffany Haddish And I go Fuck her I was on a date And she
Starting point is 01:44:36 You know what I mean Yeah you didn't like That she was doing that shit And for years I wouldn't even talk to her Right And she would even come up to me And like apologize
Starting point is 01:44:41 Right And I'd be like Back up And then luckily And this is so funny Because Tiffy admits this, maybe six months before she blew up, I walked up to her and I go, listen, I know you're really funny and I've been giving you a hard time for the last couple of years
Starting point is 01:44:57 for that thing that you did. And I'm going to let it slide. Let's just be friends or whatever, right? She hadn't blown up or anything like that. And then she blew up and then I asked her to do my podcast and she did it and she goes, if you hadn't apologized six months before that, I would have never done this podcast.
Starting point is 01:45:12 Right. Right. My point though being is that I still, you know, you do an about face sometimes in this business. What is that? Well, I think yours was genuine because you did it before she blew up. Or maybe you had an intuition she was going to blow up and you wanted to do it for yourself. Maybe that was it.
Starting point is 01:45:28 I think I could feel her rising. You could feel it, right? You know what I mean? Is that why you're here? You don't really want to be here, but you feel her rising. But I just don't know. Is that a human condition thing or am I shallow? I mean, what is it?, but you feel a rising. But I just don't know. Is that a human condition thing? Or am I shallow?
Starting point is 01:45:45 I mean, what is it? It means you're a survivor, and you generate towards positive stuff. Right? Right? But what you're saying is the thing that I mentioned before, the very first name that I mentioned. Yeah. Right? That's still different than this.
Starting point is 01:45:59 That's different than this. You're right. I think you're right. Yeah, that's different. No, totally, if he was joking, he would have totally turned around and been like.
