In short

Bad Friends episode “The Slow Clap” centers on a real-life comedy-store incident where Bobby Lee reacts to Andrew Santino’s “slow clap” and wrist-grab after Santino ignored him in the hallway. They also discuss quitting smoking (Bobby), celebrity/film controversy about racial slurs (Rosanna Arquette vs. Quentin Tarantino re: Django), comedy-show heckling/intro tactics, addiction and sobriety (via Soft White Underbelly stories), and internet/AI dating-app concerns.

Guest backgrounds

No guests appear in the transcript; it’s primarily Bobby Lee and Andrew Santino, plus references to other comedians/celebrities (e.g., Margaret Cho, Bill Burr, Chappelle Lacy, Keith Richards, Rosanna Arquette, Tarantino, Leonardo DiCaprio).

Key claims

Slow clap is condescending/ironic; wrist-grabbing without consent is a boundary issue; quitting smoking improves lung recovery; celebrity slur usage depends on character/context; addiction is layered (nature/nurture) and affects everyone; filters/AI make dating profiles misleading.

Notable examples

Comedy Store hallway “slow clap,” Santino’s “one-minute rule” for opener Ramzi Badawi, Tarantino/Arquette “n-word” dispute, Keith Richards as Bobby’s smoking “bar,” Soft White Underbelly addiction interviews, and the “First Thing in the Morning” (no-filters) dating app idea.

It was such a good intro. He killed harder in an intro than I did on any of my shit jokes. He'd crush.

3:02Bobby Lee:I thought you did. And I went up there and just... That's all I did. Okay. For 15 minutes. I'm in the hallway. Fart, crap, poop. Oh, because then that was the reason. And then he's in the hallway. I can see him. I can see just a little dumpling resting in the window of the hallway. and I walk down and this is what he's doing. This is what he's doing. Leaning against the wall going.

3:29Bobby Lee:You know what that's called? What do you want my reaction to be? Do you know? Okay. Okay. Okay. What would you want? I ate shit on stage. Then you're leaning against the wall going.

3:45Bobby Lee:Imagine the level. Imagine the level of condescension with... Okay, so... What would anybody's reaction be to that? Okay, so I didn't know. Let's backtrack a little bit. I didn't see your set. Okay, okay. I didn't see your set. Stone faced. I didn't see your set. I showed up, right? I'm in the hallway. I'm watching him, right? Toward the end, right? So I have no idea what he did, what the crowd was like, or whatnot. I hadn't even gotten into the room. Okay. See, he walks out, And just as a joke, I go, right? He walks right past me. It says nothing, right? Goes to the kitchen. That's right. Right?

4:29Slips out the bag. To the valet. Yeah, to the valet. Without acknowledging my presence. And then Bobby runs up to me.

4:36Bobby Lee:This is icing on the cake. Everyone's in agreeance with me, by the way. Okay. But this is icing on the cake. After the condescending clap, then he chases me in the parking lot. And he goes, you're not going to say hi to me? you're not gonna say hi to me and I said I gotta go home and then he goes we're business partners I did say that we're business partners yes we are we are not business oh we're not business partners we're not friends okay exactly we're not friends we are I guess not because I would have led with two things can be true say hi to my friend I guess I'll say hi to my friend why couldn't you say hi to your friend we're business partners why couldn't you say hi to my like it's a law firm okay it's it's santino and lee not lee and santino law firm the boss is here the boss is here you're the boss dude okay i was your intern you moved me up as a fucking i'm the only boss i'm the only boss that gets paid the same as his employee i'm the only boss on earth where the employee is matched to the ceo anyway um i grabbed your wrist you did i didn't because Because you were trying to leave.

5:47I was trying to get in my car and go home. I know. Because you're not going to. I'll tell you what's not going to happen here, bud. Okay? What's not going to happen here, bud, is us being in an environment where you're just going to not acknowledge my presence. That's what's not going to happen.

6:00Bobby Lee:See, this fame is going to his head. I told you, Andres, when I called you last night, I said, I think he's getting too famous. Oh, my God. Is he gaslighting me, dude? What? You're getting too famous. A lot of people have been telling us. okay so grabbing a friend's wrist is generally considered crossing a physical boundary particularly if it's done without consent forcefully or to your boss particularly to your boss okay boss man i'm sorry i grabbed a wrist i had a bad couple of sets i did not know that i'm running i'm running through new shit all this week some nights are good some nights are tough but i'm trudging through the mud and then the clap in the hallway yeah it was like a seinfeld episode he did the clap he did the clap he did the clap ah i did not know so now i have further context of the situation and you had every right to not say hi to me i love you thank you good to see you but i'm gonna grab your wrist from now on i mean you're gonna get hurt if you do that you're gonna a slow clap is widely considered a condescending sarcastic or ironic gesture everyone in the world in Africa

I understand that, but we are also business partners. We are. But you're my friend first. I care about you more than this. Okay, yeah, and I would agree with that. Because otherwise, if we're just two guys doing a show who aren't friends, then it's just two bears, one cave.

9:05Bobby Lee:I love that fucking shirt and your hair looks good. You're touching a lot of the buttons right now. I'll tell you why, because I quit smoking as well. No, you didn't. Yeah, this is day two.

9:18Bobby Lee:Dude, did you really? Yeah, day two. Day two. Yeah. And how do you feel? Pretty good. Well, I'll tell you why I did it. And I'm not a scientist, as you know. I don't know. I don't know. Some people think. Is it general health and well-being? Yeah. Are you coughing at night? No. What happened was I was smoking a cigarette and I had a loogie. You know what I mean? Yeah. As one does, right? And in my sink, I just went and I just spit in the sink. Inside your house? In the sink. Right, right, right. My sink isn't in my backyard. Were you smoking? Yeah, yeah. No, it's that. What? You have an outdoor sink.

9:57Bobby Lee:You have many outdoor sinks. I do have outdoor sinks. Okay. Wait a minute. I thought you were smoking in this. No, I was smoking in the house. I smoked a skater outside. I went inside. I did loogie. Got it. That's fine. Right. And then I just let it sit there. Science. Remember the science? Okay. Look. I'm a scientist. You're the scientist. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's right. Yeah. And it dried. It does. Yeah. As one does. It should. Yeah. It's called elements. You know what I mean? I told you he was a scientist. This is good. Yeah, yeah. So the elements caused it to dry. Yes. So elementary elements caused them to dry.

10:36Right. So they dried. They call it air. Air? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Learning. You're learning. You are learning. So the loogie dried in the sink. Right. You want to know about geopolitics too? I'm really. Not interested. Okay, okay. Anyway. And it looked like tar. Yes. After it dried. Because of, yes. Because of the smoking. Right. Right. And then because Remy had died, right, death was on my mind. Mm. Right. And I made the connection between the tar loogie that dried through elements, through air and whatnot. Okay. Yeah. And the death of my dog made me go, I'm done. That's good.

11:19Yeah, yeah. So I'm a little anxious. I told the boys before, I don't know if I could do this today. I have, you know, very filled with anxiety and, you know, I don't know much. I don't know what I'm going to talk about, but, you know, but we're here.

11:32Bobby Lee:Well, you're cold turkey. Why don't you just supplement it? I like sweating. Why don't you do just the smaller doses of nicotine to get you off in general? Oh, you're still doing it. Yeah. I'm doing it. I know. Of course you're doing it. Yeah, I am. Yeah. Yeah. But I mean, I'm not. Yeah. Yeah. I got it. Yeah. But it's, um, yeah, there's a lot of anxiety here. But it's okay. Going on. But you have to stop. Not to be dark. Because you've also mentioned a lot. You're still smoking. You're still smoking. Yes. You got to stop smoking. I have said it a lot. Do you know why you said that? Not because we're business partners.

12:03Because we're friends. Yeah.

12:05Bobby Lee:I do care about the business of it all. No, no. I do care about you a lot. Tremendously. And if I'm being honest, and I know this is not going to be a funny part of the show, but I don't care. My biological father is perpetually sick because he smoked for like 45 years. I mean, he's got... Did he quit? He did, dude. When? Gotta be 15, 20 years ago. I quit. I'll keep smoking then. I'm fucked. No, no, no, no. The consequences are already in play. No, you can lessen how bad it is because your body is... Your lungs are incredible. They clear out very quickly. Oh. But if you smoke up into your, like, 60s, you're in deep shit.

12:45Oh, right. You're in deep shit. Yeah, yeah.

12:46Bobby Lee:So if you quit now, the lungs are amazing. They clean out at such a rapid rate. But Keith Richards has always been my bar. Yeah. You know what I mean? Because, you know, there's a legendary story where you smoke like two packs of Marlboro Reds a day. Bring him a photo of Keith Richards today. Yeah. Without makeup. Yeah. Without his makeup and hair done. Yeah. Yeah. Go to the first photo. Yeah. There you go. That's what you want to look like. He's 42. Yeah. Him and I are the same age. But my point, though, he's alive, though. He's barely alive. I know. But in my mind, I was like, oh, Keith. Oh, there it is.

13:17That's the photo. That's what he looks like. That's what he looks like. Yeah. That's.

13:19Bobby Lee:on the left on the left and by the way yes he is alive bobby he's an a an anomaly and b and b if you know nothing about this show once we speak of this on this show he will be dead soon everyone we talk about on this show yeah yeah yeah oh my god yeah someone sent me a clip i guess eric dane passed away yeah and we talked about him two weeks before i know i didn't even want to yeah i said it It was just in conversation and we were like Eric Dane. We got to stop talking about celebrities. They're all going to be dead. Can we talk about celebrities? We want to die. Diddy. Wait, we did a whole episode on Diddy.

13:55Bobby Lee:He didn't die. Yeah, he didn't die. So it doesn't work. It doesn't work. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know who I saw had some celebrity beef this week that was wild? Yeah. Was Arquette and Tarantino. Did you see this? Oh, yeah. This is what's interesting about Hollywood. Now they're attacking each other because she was in Pulp Fiction. and then she didn't like jackie brown no wasn't she in pulp fiction she was she's mad about the n-word scene at the end wait what our cat rosanna or rosanna rosanna our cat oh it was a rosanna okay yeah she's in pulp fiction oh yeah yeah you're right she isn't and she doesn't like that he used the n-word in the scene with the at the house with the guys and she did like a whole thing about it and then tarantino went off online it was fucking nuts he was like you didn't seem to uh he's uh well this is just what she said you take 12 years a slave which supposedly supposedly made by an amateur steve mcqueen is very different than quinton auteur wow when you have a yeah she's just going on about him using the n-word and saying it's like you know cheap and hack and gross and whatever and then he popped off and he was like you had no problem taking the job from me oh so at the time though when that when that movie was it was fun to say no no no No, that's not what I'm saying.

15:07Oh, I know. It seemed, I think with Samuel Jackson, it wasn't in the scene, it would have been weird. I think there needs to be like, you know what I mean? Oh, well, Sam's fine with it. There's two ways to look at it. Okay. That's his quote.

15:22Bobby Lee:He said, I hope the publicity you're getting from 132 different media outlets, writing your name and printing your picture was worth disrespecting me and a film I remember quite clearly you were thrilled to be a part of, the writer-director wrote in his statement addressed directly to Arkeny. Wow. Here's what's interesting. Two ways to look at this. And let's get some honest perspective from the booth as well then. Yeah. Especially from filmmaker over there. Yeah, yeah. If the calls for the character in almost anything that we've ever made in the world of art and film, if we're going to believe that this is the world in a vacuum, if it calls for the character to use certain language, it lines up.

15:55Bobby Lee:When Leo went off, right, it was disgusting, but that was the character. You mean in Django Unchained? Yeah. No. In what? Leo. In Titanic. Like when he yells the N word. Oh yeah, I remember that. Right when he browns, he says it. You got to turn it off, but he says the N word. Right when he's like, goodbye Rose. And then says the N word. He says, I remember that. Yeah. No, dude, in Django, he says it's very appropriate for the character. It's atrocious to hear, but what Tarantino was doing was showing how vitriol and disgusting these people were it was brilliant it made you loathe a guy that we love it was perfect right the argument that many people have made is this man it didn't really fit the character it was very odd it was almost inserted in a way where you go this guy lives in the valley as we know he's got a wife he's friends with these guys so he's obviously a little bit of a up to no gooder but it doesn't seem it is true that it doesn't quite fit the character yeah because Leo in Django is a plantation you know what I mean he's a slave owner and he would say it but a guy that lives in Sherman Oaks also said it a guy with Sherman Oaks who has a does he have a black wife?

17:22yeah Bonnie's black so maybe that I don't know

17:27Bobby Lee:That's an interesting... Can Bill Burr say it? How about this? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I bet you he doesn't.

17:36Bobby Lee:Yeah, yeah, yeah. I bet he doesn't. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I understand the argument where you're like, if things are called contextually for a character, Yeah. Yes. But that character wasn't really that. Right, right, right, right. So look, does she need to talk about it publicly? No. Yeah. But also we've all thought it. We've all been like, ooh, that was weird. when he said it, you were like, whoa. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I have that sign outside of my house. Yeah. Like last night - That fits me. Yeah, but last night I saw Chappelle Lacey at Swingers, right? He is always at Swingers. He's always there.

18:12He's there every night. He lives there, right. Every night. And he gets that chicken sandwich. Careful. No, I mean, it's not fried. Okay. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not fried. Yeah, yeah. He gets that like, you know - I know. Grilled chicken He gets the exact same one every night Yeah the same He loves that sandwich Every night But it's as if You know what I mean I said it to him last night Why? No what I'm saying is that Why did you say it? I didn't say it I didn't say it What I'm saying is Is that How casually he says it Yes In the movie Correct It's like even if you're with your black friend You wouldn't casually say that No you wouldn't You wouldn't No you wouldn't Yeah yeah yeah You know where you would say it You want to say it Yeah Yeah yeah you want to say it but you wouldn't casually do it.

18:55You know where you,

25:00Then Ally went up. No, Ally. Went up after you. Yeah, I brought up Ally. And Ally brought me up. Correct. And she brought me up. Great intro. She always does. And you tell a joke when the guy, previous person, right? She took it well, but some people don't. How do you think about that? What I did was, ladies and gentlemen, Margaret Cho. Funny. A simple, right? She turned around, did a smirk. Yeah, like, right? And she took out well, right? Then went to the lot and slashed her tires. Yeah, but I've given people, you know what I mean, that, and they haven't talked to me for years. Well, it depends on the relationship.

25:38No, I've had great relationships with comics where I said something like, I'm not afraid to say it, but. Do it. You know what I mean? It wasn't even bad. It was Argus Hamilton. respect a legend legend right um great hair today something like it was it wasn't it wasn't anything right right you know i mean two years later he's like i have a resentment towards you you know i mean my hair looked good that night i was like two years he was feeling it yeah yeah he was probably i mean do you say i mean do you do a little slam slam you don't here's why unless it's you if it's oh you say crazy thing well

26:19Bobby Lee:But you're a friend. I can't. You know what? If it's a certain people, I'll do it. But pretty rarely. Yeah. Like because Maren and I went back and forth for a little while because that fuckhead, he'd give me an intro every time. He'd be like, I try to be friends with this guy. We went hiking once. He never wants to hike with me again. I don't know. We'll probably never be friends. Andrew Santino. That's still pretty good. And I'm like, thanks for the fucking. But that's still pretty good because it shows relationship. I know. But it's not even like you're going to like this guy. It's like, here he is.

26:43Bobby Lee:Yeah. You got I pump it up. You got Spade. Huh? What did I say about Spade? Oh, yeah. What did you say? What did you say? What did you say? I was like, give it up for that guy. What did I say? He needs it. He needs it. That's C? It crushed. It crushed. But David loves that kind of stuff. He does. He's great about stuff like that. There are certain people that enjoy it because they kind of think it's fun. He also, if you saw, he was holding me from going on stage. You do. That's a fun bit. He stops me from getting on stage. and then he pretends he needs to talk to me or something. And he's just making you wait longer.

27:20And the host is going, get to the stage. And I don't know if it's for them or the host suffering.

27:26Bobby Lee:It's both. Yeah, yeah. I think you're having two people suffer. Yeah, it works. Yeah, yeah. Because the host is always a newer comic and they don't know what to do. That's what I like. So they keep going. Yeah, yeah. And then sometimes they'll look at the curtain. See if anyone's back there, right? They get really nervous. Yeah, they do. Yeah. I do a one minute rule with Ramzi Badawi. I go one minute. What does that mean? He doesn't get to get a go on stage for a minute after his name is announced. One minute? One minute rule. Oh my God. It's the best. Does he tank? Yes. Wow. It's a challenge.

28:00To dig out of that hole? Yeah, yeah. You got to learn. You throw him in the well. Yeah, you got to throw him in the well, dude. Go get out. Yeah, Buffalo Bill style, dude. Put the lotion back in the basket. Yeah, the nails have to be in the wall. All right. So what I do is I'll grab the wrist. I apologize. I know I realized when we Googled it, that wrist grabbing is bad and I won't do it again. Right. But when I didn't know that, right, I would grab his wrist, I would close the green room door. Yeah. And I look right at him and he could come on, Bob. Right. They're already clapping. Yeah. And how much more?

28:32I go, 44, five more seconds. Oh my God. It's great. It's so uncomfortable. And then I'll gradually open the door. He'll run out there. Right. But sometimes he kills with it. Cause he used it. He tells the truth. Bobby locked me in the room for a minute Right? Yeah, he'll figure out a way And that's gonna crush Yeah, because they used to do that to me When I was opening for people Who did that? So I used to, I don't know, I've told this before I mean, I've told this before Yeah, Mencia did it Do you remember why though? No Yeah, yeah, so I used to have this bit where

29:05I would do my hair like this Yeah Right? Yeah And I would go up on stage, right? And I would Just the look would be funny Right Right So people would just laugh And I would have like a I'd just stare at the audience like that right For like 30 seconds I'd go I'm not really Asian I just woke up And it That's a great bit Dude Crush Yeah Back in the late 90s Oh my god Dude crush film Bring that back Bring that back right That's so good And then we know what Mencia said one night What He threw at me a hat Because you're not doing that bit again Why It's a crutch. It's a funny joke. I know, but he threw me a hat.

29:46Bobby Lee:Because did you do it to open every show? Every show. Well, that's okay. Yeah, every show I would use it, right? And he thought that it was not helping me, right? And so he gave me a hat. I would have to wear a hat and not do that bit. Okay, well, I get what he's doing. No, but he's trying to, it's about teaching. Yes, you're coaching. Yeah, yeah. Because you got to know, you got to know. It's good, but you got to grow. Yeah. And that anxiety, I don't know what I'm teaching with the one minute.

30:11I know that there's a lesson there somewhere. I know there's a lesson there somewhere. I just don't know what it is yet.

30:16Bobby Lee:I don't know what it is. It doesn't matter. Maybe he needs to find out what the lesson is. Maybe it's on the student, not the teacher. The teacher doesn't need to know. The teacher doesn't need to know. The student. The student must figure. They figure out the rule, right? Here's another thing I used to do. All right? You have to say yabba-dabba-doo. Yabba-dabba-doo. Five times in your set. And you can't tell the audience why. Oh, my God. It's a great one. Just in the middle of it, be like, well, you know, yabba-dabba-doo. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And you use it as a filler. So if you go, and my mom and dad, they're moving and yabba-dabba-doo.

30:49Bobby Lee:Yeah. So then, yeah, you have to throw it in. Yeah, because, you know, they used to be those, like hamburger. Hamburger? You know the comic hamburger? Oh, hamburger. Yeah, hamburger, right? They used to do that between jokes. That was their hook line. Back in the 80s or 90s, they used to have hook lines. You know what I mean? Chicken fried steak! You know what I mean? Just in the middle of nowhere. And the whole audience would chant it. Chicken fried steak! Right? So that's what I'm teaching. Right. Yeah, maybe yabba-dabba-doo is the thing. But chicken fried steak is also great. Yeah, that is great.

31:22That's a great line. Here's another thing I used to do, right? You have to hopscotch one time from one end of the stage to the other and not tell the audience why.

31:29Bobby Lee:While you're in the middle of set? No, in between jokes. So they do a punchline and then they have to... across the stage and i'm no one's laughing but i'm in the back of the room you're laughing oh my god dude oh my god i'm just cackling that's solely for you that's for you it's only for me because i've never i don't yeah yeah my god i'm a boring headliner i'm like get out there and have fun no you gotta do challenges i can't i just i'm i'm scared of making them uncomfortable i'm nervous that they're gonna be like i think this is back in the day you know what i mean Yeah not now I don't think Yeah you fuck with Ramsey now Only Ramsey now But I'll tell you why Ramsey I've He owes me his life Why?

32:11I've given him everything You've given him a lot of opportunities Yeah I've given him a lot of opportunities We're very close I talked to him last night We're good friends You do love him Yeah so he's not just an opener He's now turned into a friend So I feel like We can fuck with each other He fucks with me as well Well you know what's next

32:25Bobby Lee:You're friends You might as well be business partners with him Maybe one day Dude I watched Soft White Underbelly Yeah I love him Those are I cannot stop watching yeah some of them are hot the homeless girls so many of them oh my god you can live at my house for free yeah yeah and you know what the soft bite on her belly yeah yeah you know what's crazy about this yeah he'll go back like he'll go back like eight nine months later yeah yeah yeah see what they're doing and they're doing the same thing same thing yeah like this girl beautiful yeah yeah beautiful all she needs to get on is like you know Acatane she just needs to get on Acatane look at her face no buddy that's a tattoo oh that is oh fuck it is crazy yeah oh man that's a good one yeah wait a minute is that a bruise no she's half panda

33:14she's one of those new hybrids yeah wow like like this like this girl like for instance if she okay that the last girl that you had this girl's gorgeous gorgeous right you're single right

33:25Bobby Lee:yeah yeah yeah i mean if this girl said to me hey i'm in the throes of addiction yeah live on the streets. I'm sharing needles with strangers. I'm sleeping with people for money. What do you think? I go, come on in. But then your TV is missing. So what? Oh yeah, you're right. Get a new TV. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Get a new TV. She robs all my friends. And then like late at night, she's in the bathroom, you hear scratching sounds for some reason. Like, what is she doing in there? Right? We should note. Yeah. This is very sad. It's very sad. Very sad. No, what it is, is we love the interviews because they're powerful as shit.

34:00Bobby Lee:We get to see the window into this life of addiction that is fucking, it's dark and wild. And it takes everyone. The point we're making is addiction knows no bounds. It doesn't matter where you're from, what color you are, how much money you came from, but it's everybody. And then these interviews are fucking so powerful. Yeah, they're real. Because you feel it in your soul, man. You're like, how can, like sometimes you'll see a kid who's like 20 years old. Yeah. And he's like, I haven't been home since I was 16. You're like, why? Yeah, I love it's nurture though. It's not nature. yeah it's all nurture i think most of it's nurture i think that um you know well you don't addiction i think addiction i think addiction is nature right but if you have i know but if you have great parents right you can navigate it i i think so but i think i think that yeah without my parents because i got sober when i was 17 right my parents threw me in rehab a lot right yeah and they never stopped caring they never stopped trying you know that's important i think that's important.

34:56But also - If you have a broken home, right, your parents aren't there, they're in their own addiction. Right. You know what I mean? You have no money. You know what I mean? I mean, I mean, these things -

35:04Bobby Lee:It's a layered effect. It's a layered effect. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it gets harder and harder. Yeah. Well, I'm happy that you're sober. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But my point is, it's more - I know. It's a combination of both. It is. I'm sweating. Yeah, why are you sweating now? Because of the - I know, I know. Withdrawal. Withdrawal.

35:25Bobby Lee:How many pouches a day? Six MGs, probably three. Three a day? Yeah. That's not that bad. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I guess what do I know? But I feel like that's not that bad. I feel like the average has got to be way higher. Yeah. Oh, you'll be proud of me. Last night, I was laying in bed and I put away my phone because I was thinking about our screen time conversation. And so I put it away and I didn't touch it until made coffee in the morning, walked the dog, dropped a deuce, played with the dog in the backyard. Then when I was finally done with that, made a little snacky breakfast, and then I picked at my phone you know um i love you and i know we're business partners and friends i think that's a lie why because last night you sent me a tiktok video what time let me see what time you took a senate well i probably i wasn't in bed yet hold on hold on i wasn't in bed yet okay let me just see let me just see what time let me see so uh there are you um what time hold on i gotta go down because i get oh there you go i go ha ha ha ha so time was at what so what time did you say you put your phone down?

36:25When I went to bed. Yeah. What time?

36:27Bobby Lee:1.30. That's when you put your phone down? 1.30 or 2 in the morning. No, 12.30 or 1. Maybe that's closer to 1. Okay, 12.15 you sent it. Okay, so that's what I mean. Okay, you're right. Yeah. Okay. I don't go to bed. I thought it was much later, right? Because I was like, he's texting me. He's, you know what I mean? He's sending me a fucking instant. No, I was on the couch with the dog. Can I show him what you sent me or? It's one of the funniest. Well, I was on the couch with the dog scrolling through my phone. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

36:54Bobby Lee:so I'm sitting on my phone playing with the dog and then I said I know what I'm gonna do I'm gonna brush my teeth and I'm gonna lay in bed and just stay on my phone but I didn't I left the phone but that is one of the last texts I sent show them the video that you can send it text it to Carlos play this video so here I am sitting on the couch yeah petting the dog tick tocking away before I go to bed and I see this video and I think Bobby's got to see this right away

37:34Bobby Lee:This is what he sings about at midnight.

37:42But here's what I don't even know what's going on really to be honest with you. They don't either. Okay.

37:46Bobby Lee:This is. Yeah. She's singing a song and having her daughter or sister sing along. Yeah. I just think the. But what's the funny part?

37:56You send crazy stuff.

37:58Bobby Lee:What? Yeah, you send the most wild shit, dude. Guys with no head. Yeah, but that's unbelievable. How are they living? I was impressed by her talent. Did she post this? And if she did, what was the goal? Yeah. So I'm thinking, what am I supposed to feel? Yeah. That's why the internet's beautiful. You interpret it as you may. The second thing I would like to add is that the little one feels like doesn't want to be there. No. It's forced. It's for clicks. It's forced. Yeah, yeah. Just zoom in on the girl the whole time. Excuse me, Sabrina, do you want to do a video? No, no. Zoom in is classic. That joke sucked.

38:37Bobby Lee:No, it was good. That joke was bad. It was good. Yeah, yeah, I'm sweating, dude. All right, let's see. Just zoom in on her, start it all over again, and let's just see her from the beginning and just go to her face. One. Little little baby. Hey, hey.

38:57Bobby Lee:You're right. She doesn't want to be there. She does not. It's a hostage situation. This is a hostage. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they put the dog in the background to give people some semblance of normal. I don't even see the dog. Where's the dog? Watch. I don't even see the dog. Right there. Yeah, where? We have to watch the video game? Yeah. Oh, there is the dog. Yeah, yeah. What a cute dog. Huh? The dog has like eight eyes or something on its forehead. Oh, maybe this is AI. It could be AI. is ai getting me all the time and i don't even know how ai is so crazy dude do you think models are in trouble because of ai uh well i know why you're asking that why are you asking because on i asked i mean why am i asking because on instagram sometimes i don't know i've seen i know do you well you've sent me some of the girls that you're questioning yeah yeah is this real real or No, it's not.

39:48Bobby Lee:But it is funny. Some of them are so they're so good at copying real influencers. Yeah. That you don't know. How about this? The real influencers are putting so many filters on. They look AI now. Exactly. So it's like a hat on a hat. Yeah, they all look fake. So the fakes look more real than the fake. It's fucked. I think filters should be illegal on dating apps. That is a very good point. I know I'm being real. No, no, no. There is an app that does that. There's one that you can't use makeup and stuff. There's like a... Oh. What is that one? Someone talked to me about this. There's a dating app where people are like in the raw or something.

40:28Bobby Lee:Yeah, real? Is that what it's called? I don't know. Whatever. Yeah. But Bobby Lee's new app is going to be no makeup, no... Oh, you can wear makeup. No, no filters. Yeah, yeah. But filters are... Let me see you first thing in the morning. Do your hair and do your face again. What? Your hair and your face again. Okay, here we go. This is your date. There should be a dating app where everybody looks like this. That would be amazing. Amazing. The first thing in the morning. First thing in the morning. First thing in the morning. First thing in the morning, dude. Dude, that's the app. First thing in the morning.

40:58Oh, I'd get no matches. That's not our problem. That's not our problem. Yeah, yeah. You can stay on Hinge. Yeah, yeah. Stay on the thing. That's where there's AI, by the way. I get fooled by Hinge AI girls. That's why I just said it should be illegal. Thank you. You're welcome. I'll vote for you then.

41:15Bobby Lee:Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, if you'd like to get on our app first thing in the morning, it's all natural. It's completely verified by humans to make sure you're human. You have to call our call center to verify that you're human. But I'm going to be working at the call center. Correct. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you can reap some of the benefits. You can go, hey, you know, I work at the call center. So if you want to wear makeup and not wear your first photo, corrupt it. Corrupt the system. Something has to corrupt it. Give them a blue checkmark kind of thing. 100 % validate them. I'm being real.

41:42That's a good idea. First thing in the morning is awesome. A dating app? Yeah. That's a really good, that's genius.

41:46Bobby Lee:Because it will force people to go, don't try to look good for this first thing in the morning photo. We will call you out. Yeah. So first thing in the morning is the app that Bob and I are creating. It's a dating app where you take a photo. Right. Every photo is right in the morning. Right in the morning. By the way, you're allowed to, every day, you're allowed to update and change that photo. Like, let's say you don't like it. You're allowed to change everything. You can leave it in perpetuity, but you can. No, no, no. You can take as many photos as you want and choose. No, no, no, no. What?

42:12Bobby Lee:I like the idea of your profile photo is you, right? First thing in the morning. Yeah. If you want to change it, you have to wait a full day. So once you upload it, that's got to stay. Yeah, yeah. And you can leave it for a few days if you want. Yeah, but dating apps, you need five or six on your page. No, no. The joke of first thing in the morning is this. It's not a joke. It's a real app. Sorry. Yeah. Shopify. Here at Bad Friends, we have an online business. And without Shopify, I don't think we would have this online business. We'd be very lost.

46:51We make a real app called First Thing in the Morning where it's just natural pictures of people where people really know what you look like.

46:59Bobby Lee:But the problem I have is if you let them upload multitudes of photos, they are going to try to manipulate those to look better as time goes. So that's my point. If you have one photo, that's all you get. That's how you engage. That's more interesting to me to go. That's the one thing I have to work with. Let me go from there. Otherwise, people are going to try to make those other photos look better. They're going to find a way to look as sexy as they can first thing in the morning. Yeah, but you can - You just have to upload one a day. One a day. It goes into your life. That's what I'm saying.

47:28So upload every day. You have to upload every day. And you can keep the one that you liked three days ago and not upload. Pin it. You can pin it. You can pin it. You can pin it. Okay, good, good, good. All right, good, good. Yeah, yeah. And then what's -

47:40Bobby Lee:How do you start it? We'll get an app guy. By the way, there's an app guy listening to our pod developing it as we speak. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he's like, got it. I'm going to make a billion dollars. Yeah, yeah. We should hire someone to develop that app. Yeah. First thing. And we've talked about it too much. Yeah. So AI. I honestly think it's a good idea. It's a very good idea. Yeah. Don't you think it's a good idea? Natural. Yeah, yeah. Because we've been deceived. You know what I mean? How about this one? I'm deceiving you? No, no, no. You like roll up to a house. You see them walking out of the house and then you just drive away.

48:10That's happened. That's happened before. I've gone out with them. Me too. I've done that too. Horrible. They're like, come on in. Now I see these stories online. Wonka, wonka, wonka. What are you, a Star Wars AI movie?

48:25Bobby Lee:Wonka, wonka, wonka. How come I see these stories online of so many of these women being stood up on these dates? I know. Is this bullshit though? Is this bullshit? Because I see these TikToks or these Instagram reels of people being like, I got stood up again. And I'm like, is this happening that much? But I feel like it's happening the other way. Girls are standing up, dudes, for sure. Yeah. You've been stood up. Twice. I've stood up more girls than not. So I've actually done it. Oh, shit. Really? I've done it through scheduling. I've done it. Yeah, flaking. No, no, not flaking. I just scheduling.

48:57What do you mean? What's the difference? Like something comes up, like, you know. Oh, a fake thing.

49:00Bobby Lee:I got one more dating app for us. Oh, give me the one. I don't feel so good. That's what it's called. I don't feel so good. You see them at their worst. And when they're sick. Oh, that's a good one. Yeah. Yeah. I don't feel so good. Yeah. So the whole, the purpose. Well, let's go all the way. Yeah. Diseases too. Diseases. Yeah. Yeah. Can you take a look at this? That's what it's called. Yeah. Does this look bad to you? Tumors. Tumors. Tumors website. Yeah. Tumors. Do you have tumors? Yeah. Yeah. I do too. Yeah. Honestly, I think, I think a sick one where, where the photos of you are when you have been very sick are very, it's very funny.

49:42Bobby Lee:because what you look like when you're sick, that's the fucking, that's way worse than first thing in the morning. Oh, yeah, yeah. Because when you're sick, you look the worst. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, yeah. I think, yeah. I know. I'm experimenting. I know you are. First thing in the morning. I'm an app developer. Oh, yeah, yeah. First, yeah. First, all right. First thing in the morning, we'll take. We'll do first thing in the morning. Yeah, I like that one, yeah. Someone is doing it. Yeah. You know that. What's up, dog? Hey, buddy. Is that All Saints? What are you wearing there, Mike?

50:07Bobby Lee:Oh, see, he's interested in the clothes already. Oh, you like the shirt? Yeah, I like the fit because I don't - This is my merch. Oh, this is your merch? Yeah. Really good fit, dude. Thank you, bro. The pants too? This is Puma. Oh. I rock Puma, nothing but Puma, and then the shirt says, buildings don't fall like that. Yeah, wow. Yeah, which is just a fun - 9-11. You get it. Yeah, yeah. You got YouTube. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. I'm a YouTube guy, dude. You know, buildings don't fall like that, do they? They don't. I think it's important to talk about it. And laugh about it. First of all, it used to be funny.

50:34Now it's just too true. Yeah. Too much people know.

50:37Bobby Lee:We found out all the conspiracy theories turned out to be real. Yeah. QAnon was correct on almost everything they predicted. They did. Nailed it. Pizza, pizza, pizza, pizza. Honestly, I was nailing it the last 12 years. Hammer drunk at most bars. Yeah. You were telling people the truth. Now I'm calling people like, dude, I was right the whole time. Yeah. I'm still on your fit though. Yeah. He likes the fit. He loves the fit. The shoes. Puma also. Yeah, yeah. White, brand new. No, I keep them clean. I got some dirt. I get the same ones dirty. Yeah, yeah. You look good today, man. Thank you, bro.

51:06Insinuating I look bad most days.

51:08Bobby Lee:No, no. No, no. That's not true. No, wait. I'm sorry. No, no, no. That's what I was insinuating. Is that the word? It is. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was just saying, I was giving you a compliment. Thank you, bro. How nice you look today. Thank you, bro. That's all it was. Cincinnati's finest. Cincinnati, right? Oh, yeah. Cincinnati's finest.

53:49What's your favorite Vietnam movie, you think? My favorite rom-com is Hamburger Hill. I stick around for the blue purse at the end. I don't know. I probably like... I mean, they're all pretty depressing. There's none that are like... What's the Full Metal Jacket? Classic. So funny. Full Metal Jacket might be one of the best movies

54:08Bobby Lee:of all time. You think? That's a tough... That's a bold... I love that movie. It's such a... I'm fine with that. It's a dark, beautiful movie. It says a lot. And then I'm like almost... I'm 39, so when I watched that movie growing up that was such a the first time you see a movie where you're like yo what the fuck what the fuck yeah like halfway through you're like what there's more movie oh yeah oh yeah i'm not joining the military yeah oh my god well i'm from the big west so you i know but when you when i saw that as a kid i was like i don't think i'm gonna join the military no the first half of full metal jack late you're like i can't deal with that yeah screaming yeah no yeah yeah me waking up at a certain hour get up you little piece of shit it's 2 p.m how close were you to joining the military out of high school.

54:51I wasn't, but that's what I say about the Midwest. You either leave the Midwest at 18, you're dying in the Middle East. Yeah. Right. It's true. A real good slogan. Yeah. That's my other merch. It's in camouflage. It doesn't hit as hard.

55:04Bobby Lee:Midwest people that a lot of our friends, yeah. I think they go for the Midwest first. Yeah. We're easy. I think that we are very American, proud to be American. Yes. So I say I didn't go, but a lot of my good friends joined. A couple of homies passed away. and I know yeah that's honestly that was my origin origin comedy stories my buddy passed away when I was 21 I was like I hit the family up I was like yo I gotta speak at his funeral I had the preacher crying and laughing and that was the first time I was like yo I can do something with this yeah if I got people cracking up at a funeral yeah because I was 21 and that nobody knows anybody more at that age than your friends you know what I mean your parents and your family don't know you my dog died last Saturday maybe you should have showed up yeah I would I would crush.

55:49Chuckle cry. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, first of all, I told the story, I told the story the

55:53Bobby Lee:other night about you flirting with the vet tech that came to put your dog to rest. Yeah. I mean, that's amazing that the guy's dog is dying and the vet comes and he's, he's trying to fuck. He timed out the blue chew snort at a bad time. He's like, daddy's rock hard. You took the wrong pill. Goodbye, Remy. Hello, mommy. insane hey we all mourn differently that's exactly right that's but i gave him credit yeah you're vulnerable yeah as a california boy do you think i'm a pussy uh i don't think i know um facts you think i am though you think i'm a little weaker my strand because you're california yeah yeah i'm san diego boy la most of my life i think my generalization on my worldview is yes this is just because you're from SoCal often times now if he was from SoCal and he was Mexican different story you have no East LA in you what do I have in me you've got a lot of garden grove some garden grove in you maybe some OC you've got some nice Anaheim areas in you Boba there's some Boba in my story he's a lot more Montebello you know what I mean yeah yeah he doesn't know he's rocking when he starts rocking this is deep so cal don't come a knocking dude this guy he'll go nuts I'll go nuts on you guys

57:21anyway yeah there's some suburb in me too yeah yeah yeah mall life my life a lot of mall life yeah oh you know what I'm not above mall life you know people watching okay good good good San Diego but you think in a war no I think he started something with me I'll go for it yeah Yeah, fuck them up. You think in a war-like situation, I am much older than you are. Sure. Much. Yeah, yeah, but you think - They're not recruiting you. Yeah, yeah. Not now. Sure. Yeah, but back in my day, we're the same age. You think that you would stand, you would be tougher and more resilient in a war-like situation?

57:52Yeah. Yeah, I mean, dude, I used to crush laser tag. Oh, right, right, right. Okay, good, good. I could dodge and stuff like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I took third when I did the VR boom, you know what I mean? Sandbox? You got the laser. The last one I got number one, but I was with, you know what I mean, Jules and that.

58:06Bobby Lee:Yeah, but maybe you're right. This guy, he'll cheat at an escape room. He's so clever. He's good. Yeah, I'll do it twice and then take a date on it. He'll go, oh no, this is how you do it. But that's what's so good about you is that's why Bobby would be good in wartime. He would find a way. I find a way to live and survive. You do. That's fair. It's selfish though. So what? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It depends on your perspective on what's good at work. kills or survival. You're surviving. I always thought that in a war movie. You and I would be dead. We'd be dead, but we'd get a couple kills. 100%. I'd get no kills, but your dead bodies, you'd be on me.

58:45Yeah. Have you ever thought that? You would pull me over. Two dead bodies and just pretend I'm dead. I'd die in a murder suite, dude. I'd kill a guy and be like, dude, I can't go on.

58:54Bobby Lee:My legs would be blown off, and I'd get a few hits, and then be like, I gotta get on. But in a Forrest Gump situation, you know what I mean? My leg's blown off. Would you come and get me and drag me or no? I would get you. You'd seem the most carryable. That's a very good, you're a thinker. Well, this is post-Wagovi, yes. Yeah, post-Wagovi, yes. Yes, pre-Wagovi, a little bit harder. A little harder. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Speaking of which, that Tom Hanks threw me, I saw on the Shitter this morning, Jim Ursay, the old owner of the Colts. Sure. You're a big football fan. He's passed away. You're a big football fan.

59:25Bobby Lee:Yeah, yeah. He sold, you're going to love this, dude. This is going to blow your mind. He had the biggest collection of sports and whatever memorabilia that you've ever seen in your life. He has a fucking guitar of Hendrix. He's got Dylan's guitar. He's got, this guy had, look at this collection. And it's up for live auction now. Oh, dude. The collection this guy had is so unbelievable. Yeah. He's got the lyrics of fucking Hey Jude handwritten by McCartney. I mean. Really? The collection is explore the 3D space. or whatever go through it and he's got John's passive aggressive corrections on there too it's a deep Beatles for all the people that watch all four episodes it was so good but look at that wow hold on hold on so a lot of rock and roll but dude he had Ali's robe that he wore out oh really Hunter S.

1:00:22Bobby Lee:Thompson that's Hunter S. Thompson's car wow that's amazing that's the fucking saddle from what's the horse that Secretariat? Secretariat that's the original script that Rocky was written in that that's incredible dude Stallone probably wrote it on a typewriter and then wrote it down just to be like what I did Jack Kerouac's type script scroll of On the Road Kerouac's book On the Road on type script wow that's a weird one no that's amazing that book is so fucking good this guy's got so this is the kind of shit Gretzky's jersey from his 500th Oh, damn. Keep going. That's a lot of value there, too.

1:01:00Bobby Lee:A lot of value there. I think they said some of it is you can't price it. Oh, this is the one that you would have loved, too. Which one? Smells Like Teen Spirit, Kurt's guitar from Smells Like Teen Spirit. Yeah. Really? The actual fucking guitar. From like the video or like? From the video. From the video. From the video, right? Johnny Cash's D21 acoustic. Dude. Yeah. I don't know if I had the money that I would do that. If you had his money, yes, you would. No, I wouldn't. Bobby, the guy was worth billions. What are you going to do with it? You of all people love music shit. Yeah. You wouldn't go buy Cobain's left-handed Fender Mustang?

1:01:33Bobby Lee:How much is it? It's not priced on there. It's forbidding. Oh, no. The estimate is crazy. Is it two to five mil? 2.5 to five. It's either 2.5 million to five million. That's a big gap. That's crazy. I think maybe, yeah, you're right. That one I would. You would. You'd want specific things. Clapton's the fool, Gibson. Look at how fucking. But like Janis Joplin's toenail. I don't know what,$5. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You'd want things that are personal to your appreciation. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, if you had unlimited - There's certain things I wouldn't buy. If you had unlimited funds, Mike, what would you buy?

1:01:59I would do some weird, like I'm a big hip hop guy, but I don't know. I'd like get the MPC player that Dilla did some stuff on maybe or something like that. Or like some Tribe Called Quest shit. I don't know. Low End Theory, good album.

1:02:10Bobby Lee:Great album. You know what I always thought that I would love? People's Indictive Travels too, by the way. You know what I always thought I would love? The carpets that are in recording rooms that go underneath the musical instruments to muffle the sound. I want one of those carpets from someone powerful to put in my house. Because these things, they sit on a shelf and I think this I'd want the carpet to be my fucking carpet in my house. I want the carpet from the Menendez killings. In the parents' bedroom. I always wonder how much is that? I want the duvet cover. It's beautiful. Miles Davis' trumpet.

1:02:43Bobby Lee:I mean, get fucked. I don't know what I would like the sports stuff too. And then I'm a big movie guy. Wouldn't you like things from movies? Well, look, what's something from a famous film that like moved you or like the gun that vincent d 'onofrio blasted his head off 20 minutes into full metal that's all that's a pretty that's a fun one that's a fun one that's a fun that is actually a weird that is very dark i went immediately dark but uh i got one oh yeah right yeah i mean we're walking here that car that he slapped oh the taxon with midnight cowboy right hey we're walking here you know i mean that car i'd buy yeah oh yeah you know what else $100.

1:03:15Bobby Lee:He had the original volleyball from fucking Castaway. No. He had Wilson. Really? Yeah. He has some movie stuff in there that was pretty cool. That's pretty cool. Like, oh, you know, I showed you the photo. And I think we can say it. It doesn't matter. But over at Spade's house, I got emotional because in the hallway. I saw it. He has Farley's jacket. Oh, that'd be. And dude, it's even looking at it. Which jacket? If I got a little coat jacket or what? No, a jacket when he was three years old. That one, right? Yeah, yeah, that jacket. The Tommy Boy jacket. Tommy Joe jacket. Yeah. The jacket on Tommy.

1:03:51I'm bombing. This is sold. How much is it? Sorry, Mike, I'm bombing. I like that. He's tanking the room. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 101 grand it sold for. Wow. And then now this image has conspiracy theory stuff all over it, too. Does it? Oh, yeah. Tell me one. No, let's go. Well, like that image is something that is on a lot of celebrities' shirts. It's something very similar to that, and that is something that they now, with the Epstein stuff coming out, is like attached to that. What? Wow. Connect that to

1:04:16Bobby Lee:like there's some weird conspiracies. Turner, open us up, dude. Open my mind. I mean, there's some, yeah, QAnon. Oh, baseless. I don't know. Baseless. Pedophilia myths. Wade, pop culture trivia. The original heavily damaged Wilson prop in the film was sold in an auction for$308 ,000 confirming its high status in pop culture rather than any hidden sinister meaning. This sounds like AI's trying to convince us of this. Why would they say that? You said it. I didn't. You brought this up. Yeah, come on. It's like Ellen has a shirt with it. Jay-Z has a shirt with it. It's tough stuff. Ellen. Ellen, yeah.

1:04:51Bobby Lee:Is she gone? What did she do? Didn't she leave? Didn't she get mad at Trump and left the country? What a fall off. One of my, honestly, growing up, one of my favorite stand-ups. Yeah, what did she do? And now you're like, what the hell? She was a great stand-up. Those HBO specials, the early ones, they're so fucking good. So good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And now you're like, oh, she's a monster. Remember the deer antler bit? Huh? The deer antler bit on the wall. didn't she have a bit like that maybe i just remember the slipping and falling one oh that's a good one yeah yeah no i like the elevator button yeah that's how good there's like three i already pushed it yeah it might make it come faster i love that that's such a stupid idea yeah yeah she was great and then she just uh now she's gone yeah i mean the ann hess death i think she got i think she got two you know that oh yeah she died on a car that all of a sudden went speeding through Brentwood or something like that.

1:05:38And then she was pronounced dead on the scene. But if you, there's a video of her going to the ambulance where she physically gets out of the gurney. It's crazy. That's insane.

1:05:45Bobby Lee:She wakes up for a second. Then they push her back down. It's creepy, creepy shit. Whoa. That is where their last words were Castaway should have won the Oscar. So that's the whole, that's full circle. Yeah. So Mike, where can we see your special? It's on YouTube. Yeah. And when did you release it? On, you know what I did? Yeah. So I filmed it on New Year's and then I'm familiar with the Asian culture and I dropped it on Lunar New Year. Thank you. Chuk Mung Nha Mai. Thank you. Thank you.

I like keeping things loose. I'm like loose, but also tight with my bits. Yeah. And New Year's is a very combative night sometimes. Yeah. That'd be fun. Shout out to Fort Collins. Congratulations. Thank you, man. Yeah. Self-funded and it's all me. Well, Michael Turner's a very, very, very funny standup. He's up and coming. We love him here at Bad Friends. And go check out his fucking special on YouTube.

1:06:50Bobby Lee:Also, by the way, you do a great job for people that are sports fans. You are a sports fan, but specific sports fans. Have you ever done it at a soccer game? No. Because he's a diehard soccer fan. Really? That's interesting. You would do it for you. Wait, wait, wait. What's that? Why?

1:08:55You guys are great. You guys have always been very kind to me, so I appreciate it. Can I be honest with you? Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Careful. Settle in. Yeah, I want to settle in. Let's be real.

1:09:04Bobby Lee:Yeah, say what you need to say. I don't think I have been that kind to you. That's fair. No, I don't think that I've given you enough time of myself. Let's be honest with you. I think that I've been in and out with you. Is there a route? I don't know. I think it's the Jonesing that I'm feeling, but I feel a little vulnerable right now. You're saying in general, right now? I think in general, I bypass him a lot at the store, and I don't really take the time to say hi. I think that you are - Let's get it on the table. You are an interesting guy to me, because I know you and I are good friends. When I see you, it's always love and say whatever.

1:09:43And so sometimes, like I remember initially when you guys started the pod, I was like, oh, Bobby would probably be cool to me. And we've had some back and forth. You know what it is though? I'm just who I am. I'm from the Midwest. I'm just a dude that's from Cincinnati. And I remember one of our first interactions. This is probably something that's not shocking to either of you. I think you like tried to high kick me. And like speaking of soccer, being a soccer fan, now I know you're just a soccer fan. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He tried to. Yeah. He tried to. I think that's what it was. Liu Kang me. Yeah.

1:10:11He tried to. He tried to bite kick me. I was like, dude, I've seen Mortal Kombat and I've got a couple of Asian stereotypes I can kick at you too. I understand that. But I'm above that. But that's what I remember in my relationship with you. It's not like, it's more like a violence. And so I want to change. Yeah. No, today's the day. We're buddies with the same people. Ramsey's a good buddy of mine. Yeah, we talked about him.

1:10:32Bobby Lee:Let me clarify something. Okay, okay. He will only kick you if he likes you. So now knowing, like seeing some. Am I right? I don't kick everyone. I do think. Let's just get that out of the way. I think about that now in hindsight. And was it high? It was high. It was impressive. That's a good one. And this is a pre-GLP thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's because I like you. So again, now I know that. Yeah, yeah. I was like newer to LA and I'm just not the type of cat that'd be like, that was cool. Yeah, yeah. And I didn't say anything, but I probably gave you body language was like, yo. That wasn't cool.

1:11:02Nah. Oh, I think that's what I read. I think that's what I read. And I was like, nah, I said, nah, myself. Yes. I bet you did. Because I don't like your reaction. 100%. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're like, who the fuck is this? Is this a headliner? Yeah. I don't see his name on the wall. You know what I mean? but then i don't i don't bend the knee and i don't i know you don't and you know what and now we have understanding yeah right but the next time i high kick you die i'm fucking grabbing it okay you know i'm saying maybe a ddt okay okay his girlfriend he's been training for years she's vietnamese her family's all vietnamese oh there's traps i've been to i've been to the house you know how battle tested i am right you ever party with some vietnamese people yeah yeah yeah i know what

1:11:41Bobby Lee:the fuck to do yeah yeah wait this is interesting because you i want just a quick perspective share of where in the overlap of the pie charts of you've adopted a Filipino family into your life. Oh, that's interesting. You've adopted a Vietnamese family into your life. I want to know what the similarities are of like, because you live, they live at your house. Yeah, they do. And now you're embedded into their life. Yeah, we've lived together for a couple years now. Do you have, are there moments where - Let me ask, can they sleep anywhere? oh yes she could yeah yeah that's a similar right yeah yeah she's like in the kitchen on the floor they sleep everywhere they do they just fall asleep when they're just i'll just go oh right right and it's just jewels on a fucking chair sleeping like this i mean yeah can they eat like anything yeah and like in amounts that are alarming yeah yeah i've i've done this like um i'll get two jersey mike sandwiches yeah right two yeah you're eating two no i don't eat them I have an emergency one.

1:12:42Good check on that. That's crazy. I'm a huge J. Mike's guy. That's nuts. I'll get two and I'll do an emergency one. That's smart. I'll keep that in the fridge. Then it'll be there for I don't know how long. They'll eat it. After a week. They'll still eat it.

1:13:02Bobby Lee:They'll eat the wrapper too. They won't eat the wrapper. They don't waste. They don't waste. Are they actually from the Philippines? and now live here? Oh, yeah. Yeah. So she's, okay, yeah. Well, you know how it is. I want to high kick you so bad. I just want to high kick you so bad right now, dude. Is your girlfriend from? So half her family's from Vietnam, but she was born in Cali. So she has a, she's more of a Cali. Oh, well, mine's from the actual, you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, half her family is, and I party with them a lot, and we kick it a lot, and they're great. I've never had more support in my life, but if you cross them, the most - You never cross.

1:13:34It's the most combative shit I've ever seen in my life.

1:13:36Bobby Lee:Right, so if this relationship, which I hope it never does go south, you need to leave the country. You know what's funny is if it hits, it'd be so cold and icy that there'd be no interaction ever again. It'd be dead in a way that would hurt more than if it was combatant. I got you. I got you. As if it was with a white girl. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah, but this is like - This is, ooh. Yeah. And also Southeast Asia, both Philippines. That's the other crossover in Southeast Asia, but Filipinos are obviously on the island. Yeah. But Vietnamese are, that's kind of, that energy is a little similar, I've always found.

1:14:10Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Filipinos. Is that fair? It is fair. I'm dating a hippie white. And hippie whites though, right? This is your first hippie white. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hippie whites are different. They're different. They're a lot more like Asians. In what way? They'll eat anything. Well, that's because they're high. Is that why? Yeah. That's the weed. I see it. That's the weed. Okay, okay, okay, okay.

1:14:31Bobby Lee:But also hippie whites are like Asians in this trying to find. In a Zen way. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Probably closer to Buddhism. Yeah, right. Then Catholicism. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And this hippie. You'll leave the room while I'm bearing it and they're doing this. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Like that, yeah, yeah. And this hippie Asian has coached. You know, I got to, you know. Has coached. It is interesting that you're open-minded to other Asians, though. Usually other Asians hate other Asians. Yeah. Which is fun. Whoa, whoa, whoa, what? Like, I know, like, Koreans don't like Chinese. That's absolutely.

1:15:01That's absolutely not true. Well, all right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. I love all the Asians. Except for. This is you. What? Except for. What?

1:15:09Bobby Lee:Which one? Indians. You can always get one. I'm totally kidding. No, I love everybody. He's kidding. I'm kidding. Look in the mic. Look in there and go, thank you for being a bad friend. Well, first of all, we want to thank Mike for coming on the show. Yeah, I already did that. We already plugged the special. You did. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just have to go. He's got a gate. Oh, really? With the hippie girl? Yeah, yeah. Proud of you. Yeah, yeah. I gotta go. Thank you for being a bad friend. Is that what I said? Say it again. It's still good. Thank you for being a bad friend. Love it. Yeah. Woo. I don't know when this episode comes out, right?

1:15:42But the towels were not done. Really? Yeah. After all of this. After all of that. We did an entire episode about towels. About it. The towels were not done. Three in the morning last night, I texted Jules. I go, where are my towels? Right? And she goes, I'm going to Hawaii. She went clubbing too.

1:15:59Bobby Lee:She went clubbing for three hours. Maybe the merch will be your towels at some point. Yeah. Use some of our merch as towels. Maybe. But she did not do the towels. Insane. All right.

1:16:26All right.
