You said shit that I go, oh my god. It's like my Budapest story with Jamie Lee Curtis. Oh yeah, do you guys know this story? No, whatever. That's long, I don't want to...

22:08So we show up and there's a bunch of actors there, I don't know anybody. And this is like second day there. I don't know anybody. I know. So you're self-conscious because you're like, they can see through me. I'm not talented. You know what I mean? Right. These are all real actors. You know what I mean? Sure. I don't know how I got this. You know what I mean? I agree. So we were by this river and there was these bronze shoes along the river. and there was like this theatrical like um broadway star cheyenne jackson he's like this gay guy and he's like super talented he can sing dance all that stuff right yeah he's gay you said that and and okay yeah yeah yeah and then um jamie goes um but during the um 1940s nazis occupation of hungary they lined up all these jews and they shot them on the river and they pushed them into the river right and that's where we have these bronze right you know i mean shoes on the riverbanks, right?
23:05And then Cheyenne Jackson goes, he starts crying. And he goes, oh my God. A little kid was shot here because look at these baby shoes. And I don't know what came over me. But I go, it could have been a mitt. That's fun. And they all walked away from me, right? And I sat there staring at these shoes going, I think I'm fucking done. I think they're going to fire me. That's the end of the business. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

23:29Bobby Lee:And that's why Borderlands did bad. You think so? That's why that movie tanked It ruined the entire vibe of the film But you know as a comic With the comics there if you guys were there Yeah we would have had a lot But it's like actors are just so sensitive They're the worst They hate hanging out with them They suck they're not fun How long did you try to get on anything I've auditioned for 9 ,000 things I've never gotten one Not one Really gone in the room done the self tape I've gotten teachers and coaches It's the eye contact. Maybe it's the eye contact. I said that to Shane at the bar. Hey, don't do that.
24:07Bobby Lee:I was like, Norman can't hold it. It's like a dog. You got to look away. I stare at you long enough. Can't do it. So take off your glasses, look at me for a second. Come on. Let's do a little acting scene here. Let's see it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come on and try. Yeah, all right. Look at Andrew. He can't do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, he can't do it. It's too intense. So you've never been on anything. Not a thing. You've done yourself on late night and stuff like that I've done stand up But as an actor you've never been in anything I was in Horace and Pete Which Louis saw me do a set And he was like you're weird you want to do this show And I was like okay That was awesome but if you watch it I am clearly the worst thing in it The auditions are impossible They're the worst I did like three I auditioned for Joker 2 and filmed it.
25:01O 'Connor just filmed me on his phone in my kitchen in Queens. I was fake smoking a cigarette. I was like, what are these c**s doing? My line was just a racist line. You're better off not getting it. That movie sucked. I didn't know you had to memorize the lines. I'm going to auditions and just read it. Just read the fucking script. It's a lot of work.
25:24Bobby Lee:People do though. That's the thing. There's certain actors that can just get away with they'll bring the sides and if they're if they're like attitude is is matches their talent they don't give a fuck if they read off the lines that always i memorized everything i ever went out for like everything all the thousands of things i never got i would sit up all night and memorize it then i would see like cool guy walk in with the sides and they'd come out smiling be like thanks a lot tim and they love that guy well i thought i could do that I could not I was nervous it's armpits are sweating I'm going mom's spaghetti like John Cho would be like you know what I mean we'd be on set about the film and he's like reading it I'm like what are you doing he's like I'm memorizing it now whoa he goes when did you memorize yours three weeks ago yeah every day every day 24 hours a day just laying in bed saying it like I was on the flight back to Chicago and who'd I sit next to who you remember I called you and he goes hey man And say hi to your buddy Bobby Lee for me.
26:21Bobby Lee:And I said, oh, yeah, for sure. And he goes, tell him I'm sorry. And he was super genuine. And I was like, sorry? I mean, all right, I'll tell him you said it. So then I called you immediately. And I said, why is he saying sorry? We don't have to say his name. So it was my first acting job, right? And I didn't know what a jib was. I didn't know anything about the terminology. Of course. Right? And there was this thing where the camera goes into my face. And I kind of would move my head back because I got scared. And then I had to say a line. And I just couldn't do it. You know what I mean? Yeah.
26:51It was just like too much for me. You know what I mean? And the line was complicated or whatever. But, you know, they cut the line, whatever. It's not necessary. And at the end of the day, I walked up to him and I go, Hey, Mr. Will, thank you for the job. You know what I mean? And he had a cigar and he ashed it in my face. No way. Get out of here. Yeah, yeah. And I walked away. Yeah. Wow. And he turned away crying. Dude, I used to have directors go, get on your mark. No way. Yeah, in the 90s. Yeah. What? Hey, get on your... The good old days. The good old days. The good old days. You should have done tires, man.
27:26We could have relived. Yeah. But it's like, you know what I mean? Back in the day, they were fucking mean. Whoa. And I thought these traumatic experiences. But you're right about the terminology. I have no idea. I don't act. And then I did a movie and the guy, he's yelling to find the lens. He's like, look at the fucking lens. Find the lens. Yeah, yeah. I'm staring directly into the... Oh, yeah. For the first three days. Anytime I was talking, I'm looking directly down the barrel of the lens. And then there's so many scenes that are ruined. And then on the fourth day, he says again, find the lens.
27:57And I'm like, you don't mean like look into the camera. And he was like, no. All right. Like started a scene and I was just like, we're not going to be able to use anything. Because we don't, I didn't take class. Right. One day they're just like, do you want to be in this? That's crazy. You never did. And you show up and you're like, I can't do it. Yeah, that's scary. I was in Trainwreck and Apatow directs So he's like one of these riff guys Like change it, make it your own, do it again So you have to like think of stuff on the fly And he walked over to me and he's like You're supposed to be funny Like I'm asking you to be funny And I was like oh, and I was trying to be funny And then I got cut
28:37Bobby Lee:Hey I was trying to be Hey I was trying to be No you know it is It's also painful when it's someone that like I got one little tiny line in a christopher guest show you know that's yeah and he's phenomenal sure everything he's done but the audition was incredible and i did great and i thought well this is awesome because we just improv in the audition me and him and then on the day i'm supposed to die i'm a confederate soldier that gets shot and i we did the scene and he was like hmm is that how you would die and i was like fuck i don't know how to die and i kept thinking about like how to die and then i got more and more nervous bronger did that with me and he's standing next to me and then matt was like what are you gonna do now i was like i don't fucking know so then every time it came up i got so nervous i got so freaked out but the end the end what ended up happening is he was like you're supposed to be a man who thinks he's a confederate soldier would you over dramatize it a little bit i was like maybe tell me what to do stop you dude yeah no he leaves you a little breadcracker he wants you to get there which is kind of rad but then then at one take i thought it'd be funny to just be like obnoxious so i get shot and i go oh and that's the one they use that's great really yeah that was all they got because at that point i was like well i did everything i thought i should have done obviously he doesn't care anymore maybe he's gonna cut away from me anyway so i did it and that's on the show i slowly fall going oh oh oh oh oh and i was like why would he but that's why he did it to be like do something else be funny but it's it's but it's hard to because it's either they're being they're being like really harsh or they're like i'm trying to trick your brain into doing something else not well the worst is uh trying to fucking improv and they're just like cut like McKeever when we're doing tires a lot of it's we're fucking around and just trying to find something funny and like you're like I think I gotta just hear someone just cut while you're in the middle of the joke you're like damn but you don't get nervous on tires it's your show so you must feel comfortable and you're you on the show yeah that's nice that's where you want to get to that's the dream that's the dream is anybody not them on the show I'm trying to think no Well like Kayla's Kyla's Kyla's Kyla's Yeah but she But that's still a play out Of like a A little A little Really?
31:09Yeah she's never acted Or done comedy Oh wow
