It's the greatest thing I've ever seen in my fucking life. Drewski, who we love, who's trying to get on this show, he did white body, not white face. He became a white dude, went to NASCAR, and was like, God bless America, dude. He looks white. It's unreal. That's Drewski. That's amazing. He's honking at people. Dude, a black guy walked by. He spit on him. He spit in front of him. Really? This guy, he's so funny. Drewski maybe is the funniest guy on the internet right now.

9:34Bobby Lee:Can I do white?

9:36Andrew Santino:You can. Yes, you should do white body. Yeah. Honestly, we should do, and you should be a different color. Yeah, yeah. A color that's not going to get in trouble. No, I don't know. A color that's not going to get in trouble. Oh, what's that? just a tan mediterranean man okay too close what you're right on the line i know but you could just say i'm from morocco you're walking on a lake in april that's african shit my bad you're walking

11:02Andrew Santino:excited about it okay um i feel like the time has passed no time is now okay well i asked uh What was Aragorn's street name? Oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you know the answer? Do I? Yeah. Do I? Yeah, what is it?

11:18Bobby Lee:No, what the fuck?

11:20Andrew Santino:Strider. Strider Road? I don't know his last name.

11:25Bobby Lee:Oh, street name. I thought you meant like what street he lives on. I was like, I don't fucking know where he lives. Where's his house? No one knows where Aragorn lives. Well, that's a big flaw of the series. He lives in Gondor now.

11:37Andrew Santino:What part of Gondor? Because there's two nice - Main Street next to the McDonald's behind the Starbucks. That's actually a bad part of the city. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, um, the second -

11:44Bobby Lee:We're sending in troops to Gondor.

11:47Andrew Santino:We've got to clean up Gondor. The second question I asked was, um, what did, what did, um, um, Gollum say to Frodo and Samwise Ganshee when they're going through the swamps? What did they say? Don't follow the lights. Okay. And then - That's for all six listeners. So then they asked me some and then they, and then they stopped me. Right. Forgot even what there is. But then I said that Dominic Monaghan texted me this morning. Did he really? Yeah. What'd he say? I win. So you lost something and you made up for it with celebrity. With knowing.

12:21Bobby Lee:Hey. Carlos. Carlos. Hey, Dominic Monaghan texted you. Yeah. Huge. Yeah. Right. Famous actor. So whenever these fans do this bullshit about me in Hollywood, it's like, dude, you guys don't even know. this guy's just quiet about his bullshit and he brings it out on me. So what I should do is start investing.

12:38Andrew Santino:Nerds, they try to bury me. When nerds try to bury you, you have to fight back with Hollywood. What are you talking about? Yeah. What are you talking about?

12:48Bobby Lee:That's monkey philosophy too. Oh, that is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like that. Stop putting your hand up like that. It's weird. It's not this. No, stop it, dude. You're so close.

Oh, wow. Actually a suit. And that pin I'm wearing, why this was special to me very truthfully, is that was an Uncle Frank pin who died, passed away. His Uncle Frank was on the show. And Uncle Frank saw me 18 years ago do standup and told me I was dog shit, but I was going to be good one day. And I told the story on the show and he invited me to see Kimmel when I was a kid and I met him 18 years ago on the show.

15:22Bobby Lee:And his Uncle Frank, who now has passed away, who was a big piece of the show, is the first time I ever got to go there. It was like a beautiful It was actually It was a beautiful moment Everyone clap I mean It's not I'm not being facetious It was a beautiful moment in time And I thought it was a really cool Full circle moment for me To be able to do that Yeah I know you're mocking it Because you don't take anything serious Because you know That's why you're a sad little fucking troll You little Shrek That's why you're a sad little fucking fat Shrek What What What?

Do you know I'm scared to death of coming in here with you two? Why? Why? Because of what everybody else in the world says, including my sons, Hunter and Ryder, they're just like, you know, these dudes like go everywhere. There's like nothing they don't touch. There's nothing they won't say. Yeah.

21:37Andrew Santino:You don't touch. You touch everything. I touch it all. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You fondle touch everything, dude. I don't, yeah, yeah. I'm glad I teed that up for you.

22:36No, it's calamari. Yeah. You don't like calamari? It's kind of a different calamari. Okay, fine. I do want to make one mention about feeling welcome and everything because the porno chair that I'm sitting on smells like tropatone.

22:49Bobby Lee:That's really, that's awesome. Well, we got these from a Diddy estate sale. So these things are fresh. Yeah. Right off the block. You want some lube? Because we have a lot. We have so much. I'm sitting in it right now. Yeah. You're moisturizing with it.

23:01Andrew Santino:I get your garbage pail nachos from Gold Belly. So good. Yeah, if I have a little party. Trash can?

23:07Bobby Lee:Yeah, it's okay. No, no, he's from, in Korea, they call him garbage. Yeah, yeah. In Korea, we call him garbage.

23:14Andrew Santino:Yeah. I'm telling you. So I wanted to be prepared and make sure that I had seen everything that I'm supposed to see. I follow a lot with TikTok. And I get the excerpts. But my sons and my admin, my guy, Ian, show me all kinds of clips. It is just amazing that you two have not killed each other. We almost did five minutes ago. Five minutes ago we almost did. I want to hear about that. Yeah. But one of my favorite was the gong. Oh yeah. The little, it's hidden in the back. I just would really like one gong moment if I could. We still have it. Wow, okay, you're not an ally then. Yeah, no I am. I just.

23:50Andrew Santino:You know what the gong's for? It's an anal gong. You're gonna see my butthole. Okay, here we go. You know how scared I was you were gonna show me? I'm like. Yeah, yeah.

24:00Bobby Lee:He does, if you're lucky you get to see it. Guy, we're so happy that you are here. and uh you were talking right before we started rolling about the cigar that's in uh is this your cigar is that what i heard yeah yeah so i'm a big cigar smoker uh have been forever and matter of fact it was one of the first things when i started building my brands and so forth i wouldn't have scars and my agents and my manager and everybody said no you know your little sister passed away from cancer it's probably not a real good topic and so forth did you smoke no she didn't she died unfortunately she had cancer when she was a little kid and then she and then she got it uh older when she was 38 but lived a great life and we she has an amazing son that we got to help run just graduated uh law school but no so i'm a big cigar fan my grandfather's cigars so um i met a guy named eric espinoza and he said to me right off the bat i don't want to make a celebrity branded cigar and i said well great news because i don't want to make one either right i just want to make badass cigars of the level that i like cigars so it's called my whole company is called knuckle sandwich but that's what we call them is knuckle sandwich.

25:02The knuckle sandwich cigars. Sorry, do you smoke cigars?

25:04Bobby Lee:No, but can you leave them for us in case? I will absolutely leave cigars. I'd love to try some. Matter of fact, I'm going to brand them and I'm going to send them to you with your logo on. I will make them really sexy.

25:11Andrew Santino:Where do you get the tobacco? Is it Cuban? Nicaraguan. Nicaragua. So there's a big story about that, about how cigars started. And when everybody left Cuba, when the Castro time happened, a lot of people picked up and took the seeds with them and went to the Dominican Republic and went to Nicaragua and so forth. So this is all Nicaraguan. and this like I said this business partner Espinosa that I have is really a chef of cigars yeah and uh they're the real deal so this is the Habano this is the first one we ever made and as long as the tobacco is from Nicaragua it's close to Cuba isn't that's right next door but like I feel like Koreans eat Chinese rice but cigars get a bad cigars do get a bad rap why do they get a bad rap because most people don't take care of their cigars and they'll keep their cigars in their golf bag and they'll be like hey hey, man, I got some cigars.

25:59You want to smoke them? Well, they're dried. They're dried out. They haven't been kept in the correct humidity, which is about 70%. And they get bitter and dry, and they burn hot and acidic, and they're nasty. And, I mean, I won't smoke a bad cigar, but if you take a cigar and you roll it in your fingers like this and it doesn't crackle, you probably have the right humidity. You can have too much humidity where it gets soggy and it doesn't draw right. But we draw test all of our cigars.

26:23Andrew Santino:Do you smoke cigars when they're dry, though, ever? Because I used to have one of those, what do you call it, the box? Humidor. I had a humidor, right? And then I stuck it in a closet for years. Right. And I opened it back up and there was like this really stinky cigar.

26:37Bobby Lee:Yeah, it's got to be done right if it doesn't be right.

26:38Andrew Santino:And I smoked it and it fell apart in my hands. You have to take care of the cigars. And that's the biggest thing that people misunderstand is that they get cigars given to them and they get really good cigars. And they'll go and not properly humidify them and it just, they go away.

26:54Bobby Lee:They go to waste. Yeah. But you don't waste them. How much do these retail for? Is it a good price or is it expensive? Is it a fancy cigar? Middle price. I mean, mid-priced. And we do a variety. And this is the Habano. We do a Connecticut. We do a couple different Maduros. And we do some special lines where we do some limited offer stuff. But yeah, I'll get you into cigar smoking. Because a lot of times, and this is just like with food. Or this could be with anything. It could be with tequila. It could be if people say they don't like it, I'll typically say, okay, tell me when you started not liking it.

27:24Like, when was that? Like Brussels sprouts. That's always one everybody hates.

27:27Bobby Lee:I don't like them. Okay. I bet you. I promise you. Well, you're Italian. You know, I mean, come on. Yeah, Italian. You know why I don't like Brussels sprouts? Everybody does them. Everybody does them. And I'm like, I don't, do I want it? I don't even know. Do I like it? Do I like this cigar? Do I like this cigar? Do I like this? We will try. I will get you a cigar. I'm from Saigon. You are point rich. I'm Italian from Saigon. I love this group over on the side, by the way. Yeah, yeah. This is great. The window? Ask away. Any questions you have about these idiots, ask away. I mean, honestly, they're the Muppets in the window, and we keep them there because they're all different, unique species.

28:03Bobby Lee:Carlos is Mexican, and he's got an ongoing war going on with – that's Fancy B right there. That's Andres, and he's Spanish from Spain. And the kid in the back is just a pervert we found roaming the streets. First one to shake my hand. Thanks. I feel better about myself. Do you guys have sanitizer? Do you guys validate? Yeah, squirt. Here, guy. If you need that, take that.

28:23Andrew Santino:Take it.

28:24Bobby Lee:Guy, I need to ask you a real question because as an avid fan, a real true avid fan, I can tell, not everybody can tell, but I can tell when I watch Triple D. Right. When you don't like the food. Really now? I can tell right away. Really now? I can tell. It's based on your phrasing. Kill me. Okay. Okay. Okay. But do the voice. That is out of bounds. When I know. I thought he only did impressions of you. He's out of a bouncer.

28:52Andrew Santino:I don't have an accent. All right, dude. I'm going to tell you this right now, dude. I'm going to tell you this right now in front of Guy Fieri, dude. That's going to stop today because I don't have an accent. Fine. No accent. Sorry.

29:04Bobby Lee:Right. I wasn't saying it. When I know - Do I look like Shrek? Back to what you're saying. Okay. When I know that you don't like something - When I know that you're not as into something on Triple D, you quickly kind of go through it. You go, yeah, great stuff. And then the process you make this in which you move quickly through it. When you compliment, there's certain words and phrases and also your guy language, your vernacular you use shifts when you're not as much into the food. And I can tell true Triple D fans know, and I'm not going to call anything out, but I see it, I know it, and I can feel it when I go.

29:39Bobby Lee:I'll literally turn to my wife and go, he doesn't like it. You literally just broke into something there for a second. I can tell he doesn't like it. I know. No. Okay. So you're a little bit right in this. Yeah. Okay, if I don't like it, you don't see it. Right, you cut out right. If I don't like it, you don't see it. There's been a few times when we've gone to some joints where you haven't seen it, but that ended long ago. There's a difference between, well, we'll take you guys. There's a difference between - Wait, hold on. I got to make sure I throw these shit out. Again, I'm still just getting over the fear of walking into the den.

30:17Why'd you lock the door when I walked in? Just in case. Just in case. Locked the door and took my keys. Oh, thanks, by the way. To go to the bathroom, you have to have the P key. The P key.

30:26Andrew Santino:We locked it because there's going to be calamari time later.

30:31Andrew Santino:Okay, my friend. Welcome to Leather Cheerio. That's right. Okay, so it's kind of like you guys. Sometimes you love, sometimes you really like, sometimes you like, and sometimes you're okay. And there's a lot of things that, like I see all the recipes. I know everything that I'm going to taste before I pick it all. I pick the restaurants, my team and I do. But then I really get down to the nitty gritty and say what I'm going to try. So I usually know before I get there if something is going to be in the right space, in the right technique and so forth. There's certain foods I love, certain foods I'm okay with.

31:09Like I'm not a big gravy guy.

31:11Bobby Lee:No. But I'm a huge Asian food fan. Placating. Massive. But I'm also Italian and everything. Okay, good. Thank you. Can you make sushi? I can make sushi. Matter of fact, I came down to LA 20 years ago and studied sushi to open my first restaurant. Wow. One of my first restaurants. Wow. Which was called Tex Wasabi's. Southern barbecue and sushi. Wow. I want that. It was so badass. Because my wife didn't like sushi. And my son, Hunter and I, Ryder wasn't born yet. Hunter and I love sushi. And barbecue restaurants didn't really have the... So I thought, I'll make the ambiance and the different styles of food.

31:48and I put in a fun, loud rock and roll joint. It's called Rock and Roll Sushi Barbecue.

31:52Andrew Santino:Yeah. And we kicked ass for a long time. I don't know. I mean, when you mix two, I don't know. When you mix, I mean, I'm going to be a clientele. You're mixing, you're Korean and American. That's a mix. That's a good mix. No, but in terms of food, it's like, hey, man, I'll take, my name is Billy. Hey, Billy. Guy, I love the rest of the shit. But anyway, what I want to say is I'll take some barbecue ribs and get me some sashimi. Why not? No, it fucks your stomach. My stomach goes, no. No. No bueno. It's delicious. Just to be clear on that, you wouldn't do the barbecue before you did the sashimi.

32:26That's right. Can you go to a Japanese restaurant? Oh, it's about what you put out first.

32:33Andrew Santino:Oh, my God. I think you're right. I think you're right. It's what you put out first.

32:39Bobby Lee:It's what you put out first. Oh, my God. You're so good. Tell me. You think this guy became the mayor of Flavortown in an accident? I understand that. He was voted in.

32:47Andrew Santino:He voted in. He was voted in.

32:49Bobby Lee:The masses agree. You oftentimes will have like a little bit of an appetizer, a little fish, something before you have a meat dish. This is very common when you go out. Yeah, you get it raw. You get it raw first. Only likes it raw. Your palate is more subtle. I mean, if you go to a Japanese restaurant and you're going to have - Konnichiwa. If you're going to have hamachi, you're going to have nigiri, you're going to have maki roll or whatever it may be, then you move in.

33:15Andrew Santino:if you're going to have something you prefer nigiri or sashimi it really depends on what my carb load is you know i mean okay i i think when the fish is fantastic i'll have just sashimi when it's good fish i'll maybe just have a little rice to it right right you know but again that's a thing like how fresh is it is it the type of fish i'm a huge mogodo fan you know anything in that tuna family um where the hell did we start with this no we go wherever we're back we're back at triple d yeah yeah so back to the triple d thing so sometimes you bite into something yeah it's like an it's songs on an album okay oh i love it i'm now yeah compare this to a great

33:55Bobby Lee:album that you love yeah give me a great album here give us a great album from your either your childhood give us an album that you love acdc back in black phenomenal all right okay phenomenal now this is kind of like dish world for you you see back in black as serving and food and appetite don't you that's it that's it it's in a call it's a culmination of it now i will say that my palate has grown to love every goddamn black and black song sure you know but it's that way but when you hear back in black when that you just i mean it invokes the party it reminds you of all the great things and bad things you've done and just you know back in black is that song yeah so it's kind of along those lines that there's certain you'll hear an album you're one of your favorite bands to come out with an album and you'll be like i love that one okay on that but it'll grow on you right so but in the world of triple d there is like lose my mind love something

34:52Andrew Santino:like something and good with something good with that restaurant still there the one that i didn't like no no the one that with the sushi and the bar and the bar no texasabi it's not but it might come back one day bring it back a lot of those so my style of being a chef is i i just cook what i like to eat right and it'll it drives my wife nuts i'll come home and i'll be on the road for two or three weeks and i'll come back and i'll just start cooking and she'll be like what are we having and i'm like well don't you want to have philly cheesesteaks and and also some egg rolls and then i'm also going to do some sashimi and then i thought on top of that i get some braised oxtails and then she goes what what what it and i go i'm just all of these things have been floating in my head i'm hungry god that's awesome i mean when you're eating all those things sashimi all this, you know what I mean?

35:37Andrew Santino:I'm going to do another ACDC. Please do another ACDC. This doesn't happen? Blast in the back?

35:44Bobby Lee:Blast in the back. Blast in the back? Which is the second album they never released. But I did buy a bootleg.

35:49Andrew Santino:Yeah, yeah. If I mix them, sometimes I get the D, the big D. You've got some other - Why are you laughing?

35:57Bobby Lee:Sometimes the AC's not there, but the DC is there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You might have some other dietary issues going on. Well, he's on Ozempic and that's restricted him a little bit. He's on - though yeah i mean i gotta give you credit man thank you whatever you'd be using it yeah no but i i'm just looking at you going you're you're definitely keeping your uh well he's keeping we're bringing no you have water you have water no i do have water no i want a lighter i was trying to get ian to get off his ass oh yeah give him a lighter get a lighter so wait a minute you're you're saying you're saying that you're not ian no he's one of the weird guy yeah yeah yeah how

But is there in the Food Network world that you're in? Is there a chef that you're just like, I don't really like that guy. I know who it is. I don't really like that guy.

42:15Andrew Santino:Wow, this is deep.

42:17Bobby Lee:Who is it?

42:18Andrew Santino:He doesn't like Chang, dude. He's like who? David Chang, dude. Dave Chang?

42:22Bobby Lee:You don't like Dave Chang. I see David's picture up there. Yeah, he's up there. He's up there. He's our boy, dog. Have you ever had beef with someone in that world? Curtis Stone. Come on, baby. No, I just had Curtis on my show the other day. I will tell you a funny thing about David. And David and I, we are friends. we love them and matter of fact i i have them getting ready to come judge on one of my shows um such an amazing chef an amazing chef and a chef that like you know as chefs and i think you guys have it the same thing in in the world of of media and podcasts and and all that you do you have people you look at and go man i wish i had that talent or i wish i knew that or they're so funny or they're so i mean you're pretty harvey on the witty line of it and you're definitely funny on the let it all hang out line.

43:07Yo, you guys have... He was going to show you his butthole. Well, I've never been on anybody's show that offered to show me the leather Cheerio.

43:15Bobby Lee:So, I mean, that's just... But did I? I wasn't really going to do it. Is your new special going to be called the leather Cheerio? That's so good. Hairy bubble gum up next.

43:26Andrew Santino:Smooth, there's no hair on it. It is smooth.

43:28Bobby Lee:He gets it shaved. But tell me. No, so the funny thing was, is I don't know that Dave and I didn't know each other, And I don't know that he always thought the most of me, but when the pandemic hit and we did that big fundraiser, I did a big fundraiser for restaurant workers and I raised 26, almost 27 million dollars for restaurant workers. Wow. It's unbelievable. And I started and we gave out these$500 grants to restaurants. So like 45 ,000 restaurant workers got these free$500 grants. Now, no one's going to pay their rent with 500 bucks, but it was more about the restaurant industry getting a recognition and a hug from somebody in the business that said, hey, we know you're going through bad times.

44:09Tough times is a horrible time for everybody. But here's a hug. Here's some money. And I just remember reading an article that David had talked about and said, wow, that's really a cool thing that guy did. And we never really had any interaction prior to that. But now we've talked several times, actually never hung out and got crazy. but I'm looking forward to it. But as a chef, the way I respect him and what he cooks and the books and the food. I sent him a picture the other day. I had the, have you got his new ramen noodles?

44:35Bobby Lee:Yeah, he sent it to him. Oh, he sent, I had to buy mine. Yeah, but he did tell us, he goes, guy will buy. Actually, he wrote it in the thing. I shoplifted them at the Guy's Grocery Games market. I do my best shoplifting ever, but I brought them and I took a picture and I sent it to him and I said, they're on the shelf. And he's like, that's cool. Wow. That is rad. That's awesome. You know, we love him. You know, he was great to us. I'm always curious because like in our comic world, the reason I ask is because like, it's not that there's beef, but there's guys that you just don't know that there's like a - Oh, there's beef.

45:05Bobby Lee:Well, he has beef.

45:06Andrew Santino:No, you too.

45:07Bobby Lee:You're beef god.

45:08Andrew Santino:You have some beefs. You're the beef god. I could throw out some names and we'll cause a fight. Do it.

45:13Bobby Lee:We'll blank it out. Yeah.

45:14Andrew Santino:Okay. You have beef. All right. You know that. You have beef? You don't have beef? You couldn't name one beef I have right now. I could name a couple of beefs for you. Okay, dude. Anyway. You're out of pocket. Anyway, so yeah, the beams go ahead. Keep calm. I can walk. I'm sorry. We have these bubbles. This is the nature of our show. I'm devil partial.

45:31Bobby Lee:This is why we're in love, because this is what brings us together, because this is kind of the true, the reason - Tell him the Jimmy Kimmel story. What, that we just did just now? The sentimental one. Oh, I just told the Jimmy Kimmel story. He made fun of me. He mocked me because I did Kimmel last night. Anyway. He doesn't like legacy media. He likes our world. He doesn't like the old world, which is ironic. He is very old world, but he doesn't like it and he was mocking me.

45:54Andrew Santino:Talk about the comedy beef. I'm sorry I interrupted you. The comedy beef.

45:57Bobby Lee:No, I was saying there's a connection between the world that you guys work in because we've met a couple of chefs through friends that we know and I do know there is a competitive nature to it and there's always a bitey like I don't like that that guy or girl does it that way. I don't like that they think that that's the way to and they kind of have like you know who says very controversial stuff in the chef world all the time? Jose Andres. Andres says stuff like this is the only way to do it. Now watch clips and he'll criticize when people do it some other way. And a lot of times I agree with him a little bit.

46:26Bobby Lee:And I'm like, this guy must have beef. And do people kind of not like him? Am I wrong? Okay, let's sum a few things up. Okay. First and foremost, if you don't have beef in your world, if you don't have like judgment of things, then you're not really paying attention. Everybody likes something and doesn't like something. Sure. And unfortunately, you've been so pasteurized as a culture. If you say anything out of place, then definitely someone's going to, you know, you know that now you're going to get you know hated on and so forth and so on so me i was raised by hippies my mom and dad were hippies redhead yeah my my parents so we didn't really get into that if i have a beef i settle the beef i don't really go around with drudges i don't have any time good for you and i don't i also want to carry bad energy so that's one of the things when i came onto the network i was the first guy that kind of came in that was just you know going balls out with tattoos bleach tear earrings so forth they looked at me like ah is this the guy we want to put on that's why they put me on saturday mornings at eight o 'clock so not everybody was signing on to my style which is okay because i was the new guy and that's that's the way it was i sense of you know outlasted any of that but when it comes to someone like chef andreas he is the og he is if he wants to say the sky is pink today it's pink today you know that's kind of we kind of we kind of let it go i like that and he has done so much that guy deserves a nobel peace surprise what he has done my foundation the guy foundation we support veterans first responders first responders active military in our country i'm a big patriot i love our country we live the greatest country in the world and but jose has taken it to another level his humanitarian efforts that he does around the world and the way he's been able to unify chefs from every country i mean all i can do is if the guy says the sky is pink okay the sky's pink have you met him oh dear friend oh wow dear friend yeah and and and matter of fact it was a funny story how we became friends someone told me that i offended him and i felt horrible oh my god because i do believe in the respect of the generation okay not that he's much older than me we talk about that but in comedy we talk about the eldership in comedy i do i respect deeply yeah we do we really do yeah i get what you're saying well yeah i had someone had said that i had offended him so i do you know a million people like give me jose's number please don't tell anybody i gave it to you oh one of those yeah so i finally called him i called him like 10 times and left a message and said chef i'd really appreciate a chance to speak to you so i'm in the middle of filming i'm doing my show i did a cooking show called guys big bite i'm in the middle of filming my phone's blowing up so finally in the middle of the show i just pick it up i look at it and it's jose andreas because i saved the number yeah and i'm like cut and i run over to the side of my because i filmed in my backyard and i go chef andreas and he goes yeah i'm sorry i haven't got back i don't i won't do my no no no good that was really good i was there i was in spain thank you yeah yeah you took me back i'm sorry i did not call you back i am being very busy and traveling and okay there you go that's very good very good though so i said i heard that i had offended you and he goes no no no no let me I had gone to his event at the Food and Wine Festival and when I came into the event I traveled with a pretty big group of friends all my friends from growing up and all my friends before I got on TV are still all my best friends

49:51Andrew Santino:you're like the Kevin Hart of cooking people yeah it's true brings the crew 80 people outside so I bring a big group listen if I'm going to go do something awesome I want my friends to come and experience it right now you know that's just the way i've always been so he said when you came in i wanted to come say hi to you but i couldn't get past all the people and it was kind of a you know and it was his party right and i said chef i am so embarrassed and i am so sorry no no no no it it it came out of somebody had said it the wrong way and didn't he goes no i have no and he goes but you've tried you've called me and and you've you've and he goes that is the most wonderful and and from then on we have been the greatest of friends and i have nothing but matter of fact you got a text that's a story dude he's the man yeah yeah that's just but no that's a story but i'm a that is but i think that is something i i would rather know if somebody thinks i did him wrong or right him over and you know face our face our situations because so many times like texting is the worst one because you send a text you can't put the emotion or the expression in it sometimes emojis it can be misrepresented.

51:05Yeah. Disrepresented. And I think that I would just rather, I just feel that do me the, you know, do me the solid. And if I pissed you off, cause I'm great at doing that, then just tell me. Just tell me. And I'll either fix it.

51:20Andrew Santino:I don't think you could ever piss me off. I try not to. I think you're a straight up guy. You're a gunslinger. What you see is what you get. Exactly. And I feel the same way. What you see, what you get. Okay. What you see, what you get. It sounds like you're in a brothel.

51:34Bobby Lee:What you see, what you get.

51:35Andrew Santino:What you see, what you get. Now give me the$2. Why did he go to Fantasy Island right then? That's where he's from. The plane, the plane. Boss, what you see, what you get. You know what's interesting? I want to hold it, because I know you guys do your list of your top five and all the funny moments. You got to do one of the top 10 accents. Maybe you've already done it. Oh, well. But accents are so good. Here's one. You know what I love about this, what you guys are doing, and thank God you're doing it, is you play in a free zone. You don't pull punches and you don't hold the reins back and you give people, if you don't like it, don't listen to it.

52:13That's right. Some people don't like it. A lot of people don't like it. If you don't subscribe to it, if you think that it's hateful or negative or demean, then don't listen. Right.

52:24Andrew Santino:But what we're doing is, I don't even think that way. What we're doing is the way we talk to each other anyway. back of the comedy store. It's real life. Yeah.

52:34Bobby Lee:It's like, I don't want to, why would I fake it? No, well, I'll say this. I've always said this for years. People may find the show. They may go, that's not my style or my flavor, but the truth really is when we're fucking around and talking shit to each other, the love is beneath it. I imagine you come from a world where you and your friends, you talk shit, you fuck around. So we kind of just brought that to this thing just because that's how we always are. And I think it rung true because people were like, oh yeah, we do that. Like, I don't think they want saccharin. They just want the real deal.

53:05Andrew Santino:Yeah.

53:06Bobby Lee:There's no, look, it's a show. Everyone has to build a show and it is produced. It's a show. When you said people were a little off put, like, who's this guy coming to our network? This wild dude who wears jewelry and tattoos. Yeah, you know what I mean? It's like, yeah, they were fucking shocked. Are you a mime? What is going on with your hands today? Well, it's just like - See? We're still more shown. See? but you bring something real I think that's what the people like and that's one of the things that I think we need to preach more about in society is you know start my Reid who's my COO of my company big fan of you guys and we were talking about it he goes you know what's so great about these guys is they don't he just farted that was so awesome god damn it Bobby please tell me that Mike picked that up I heard it he's talking about Reid who likes the show I don't like Reid that's why

53:57Andrew Santino:when you bring his name up I fart fuck Reed Reed 6 '8 yeah I saw him with the glasses

54:03Bobby Lee:fuck that guy he's listening to the show and all I hear is oh guys talking to me and then Reed loves you guys

54:11Andrew Santino:I can't believe you heard that oh he's a big beef hey when that dries it's gonna itch can't wait and you're gonna scratch it oh no Reed give us Reed tell me Yeah, so Reed was just saying, he goes, it's great to see people that are kind of, they're just saying, screw it. This is who we are. This is what we do. You like it, don't like it. And gosh, it's just great to hear people getting back to being who they are. Having fun, man. Exactly, man. And so it's incredibly entertaining. And the great thing about this is you get paid for this shit.

54:44Bobby Lee:Yeah, man. We're having fun. It's a job. We're having fun. Oh, you're not kidding. Well, we don't pay Bobby. He doesn't know. You don't pay me, but yeah. He's not going to get paid for a little while. That Bitcoin account is growing.

54:52Andrew Santino:It is growing. Yeah, yeah. Did you get sucked into that? get sucked into that. No, you know what? When I heard about it the first time, I heard it from a triple D restaurant in Florida. This is like 12, 13 years ago. Had I bought some back then, we would be on a different - Did the restaurant take Bitcoin as payment? Actually, that restaurant did.

55:12Bobby Lee:Because I heard about this. There was places that were ahead of the curve a decade ago. They took it as payment. And now some of these people, you can look this up on the internet, some of these guys who did that are worth fucking like$50 million. Wow. Because they took Bitcoin back then. And guys back then were like, fine, who cares? Because it was around the world of tech and they knew someone - It's play money. Yeah. And they were like, who gives a shit? You're going to take this money? Wow. Look, Sacramento startup food token launches in a crypto payment system for restaurants. Now it's gone viral.

55:39Bobby Lee:Now people are doing it now. And there's a million different ways to pay out. But man, what a wild world. If you had taken it back then -

55:46Andrew Santino:But guy, guy, guy, you've done it all, right? You've done it all, babe. When you wake up in the morning, what else is there? I mean, do you still have goals, aspirations? Like, what have you ticked? What check box have you not ticked? It's funny because my wife says it all the time. She'll look at me. Our son just got married. Our oldest son, Hunter, got married. Congratulations. Check, Hunter. Check. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I really have this amazing night. Besides losing my sister and I lost my dad to pancreatic cancer, besides that, I've got an incredible mom who's just a firecracker. 81 years old and rides her bike 100 miles a week.

56:22What?

56:23Bobby Lee:Wow. Yeah, she's a, that one's a whole, and dance is like nobody's business. Is she single? Huh? Yeah, but I still won't let her date.

56:33Andrew Santino:Would you not let her date Bobby? I don't like that. What are you gagaing around this town for, my friend? This is my house, dude. Guy, he would treat her, he would treat her, you would.

56:44Bobby Lee:Delicate. If anybody was going to date my mom.

56:46Andrew Santino:If she ride her bike, I'd do my lime scooter. we'll get to the same destination i love the lime i love the lime this guy will lime in any city yeah you keep leaving him over here there's like a whole garage of him he loves the limes he can't

56:57Bobby Lee:get enough but your mom is still still cruising great nephew just graduated law school at loyola wow hunter just graduated with his mba out of miami riders a sophomore at san diego state and hunter just got married this weekend so my wife's i took off we got home from the ranch from where we had the wedding 350 people hunter holy shit still pissed at hunter um but he married an incredible woman tara who's you know now our daughter-in-law is it 50 50 the audience i don't

57:24Andrew Santino:know how that works what's 350 people do you have bulk of the people because you have a big entourage uh hunter had the bulk i think tara was very respectful and stuck to her 50 that's what i'm saying hunter invited the mailman i mean i yeah it's your name again you want to come to my wedding yeah you know and i pretty awesome yeah so anyhow so we had this and great chefs came and cooked but the point is i i left the next day and she's like i mean can you just take a break and she goes what i mean aren't you tired i said yeah i'm tired but i'll sleep when i'm dead there's so much to achieve yep we live again i'm a huge patriot i love our country and we have a wine company hunt ride wine we have a tequila company santo tequila we have the cigar company we have about 90 restaurants uh four shows you know but my biggest thing in the biggest we've done nothing nothing zero and then no cigar nothing and jose andreas feeds the world yeah um yeah oh my we gotta do shit dude my biggest after this we'll plan my biggest thing is philanthropy yeah i love what the found it's called the guy fieri foundation i didn't want to call it that but it's easier to get people to support and make donations that dinosaurs was It's philanthropy.

58:33Yeah. I don't know how to spell it. How do you spell it? Wrong every time. It's helping people. Yeah.

58:38Bobby Lee:I get it. Do you want to leave that joke in?

58:44I knew when it came out of my mouth.

58:46Bobby Lee:I was like, oh boy, here we go. Yeah, yeah. No, but the Guy Fieri Foundation is a very important thing and honestly. Okay, so freedom ain't free. You have men, women, and their families that have made the biggest commitment in the world, biggest sacrifice in the world, A, to make us a free country. Yeah. So now you have these people that are still doing it and have done it. And I just think we need to recognize it more and we need to celebrate them more. And then you have all these first responders. Your first responder, the house is on fire. You've chosen to leave the house, great. But all of a sudden now this fireman with nothing more than the, has to go into the burning house.

59:26This stuff to me, I don't think we sit there and really reflect on it enough of what goes on in our world and how blessed we are to have what we have. So when I was at the fires up in Paradise, which is up by Chico, California, and we were feeding a bunch of the fire victims, I'm watching all these first responders sitting over here to the side. And I'm like, come over here, guys. Time to eat. Like, no, no, no, no. And eventually I come to find out that they're just eating granola bars and MREs. I said, why aren't you eating what we have? And they answer the fire victims. I said, you guys are fire victims.

59:56You live in this town. Your stuff burnt down. Yeah. Well, long story short, I realized I know how to cook. I have a lot of great chef friends that want to help cook. So I built this half million dollar trailer. And now when there is a disaster is if we can get there, sometimes the fire lines, we'll go and feed first responders. We came down to L.A. fires. We're here for 10 days. We fed 25 ,000 meals.

1:00:21Andrew Santino:Oh, my God. And it's not that they're not getting fed. Yeah. It's just we come in and do something a little bit different. It's all scratch made. But it's just for people. The same thing back to that money that we gave for those, you know, for those restaurant workers. It's just for people to be recognized that we care about you and we thank you for being you. And if we don't have a disaster, we'll just go to different municipalities around the country. We were just in Palm Beach and went there and fed firefighters and sheriffs and troopers and everybody just did a luncheon for 400.

1:00:52Bobby Lee:so 25 000 first responders you fed in california in southern california but the great thing is is i well that's a great thing and i wasn't even there my team and these great chefs eric eric greenspan is a phenomenal chef here in town and tony lafaso i mean all these chefs jump in yeah and you know when we had the fires in maui i called 40 of my favorite chefs they all came to the they're all in the wine country we did a dinner for 150 people and we raised for the maui fire victims, restaurant workers. $1.7 million in one night. Oh my God. That's more than Gavin Newsom's ever done. There's that accent.

1:01:29Andrew Santino:But sometimes when you do a good deed, it backfires. Give us a good deed. I was in Cebu, right? I went to Jollibee and I thought, being real. I'm not kidding you.

1:01:40Bobby Lee:You're comparing Guy Fieri's Guy Fieri's dinosaur philanthropic ventures to your Cebu, Philippines

1:01:50Andrew Santino:Well then forget it then. No, give it to us. I went and bought 300 fucking boxes of spaghetti. And then I - Whoa! But then we went to an impoverished area, right? A bunch of naked kids. He's got it.

1:02:04Bobby Lee:Let him tell his naked kid Sabu story.

1:02:07Andrew Santino:Yeah, forget it. It's already going to be. Please. It's going to backfire. No, you went to Sabu. He did buy. Tell him. I don't think you're getting out of this one. I want to hear the end of this one. Hell yeah, guy. Yeah. Dude, come on. Tell him. Right. He wants to know. We have a van. We opened up the van. All these naked kids run out because they're so hungry. Do it without the naked kid part. I mean, for fuck's sake. Clothed kids. Fully clothed kids. A bunch of kids ran up. Yeah. There was a goat chained to a fucking metal pole about to die, right? And the kids waited in line. They saw the jolly and they threw it on the ground.

1:02:38Andrew Santino:They ran back into their huts. Well, they don't want jolly. It backfires sometimes. My dad would say that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. That's right. Right? Sometimes you try and... I've never heard that. Say it again. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

1:02:53Bobby Lee:Your dad said stuff like that all the time. Give him a quote that your dad used to say to you.

1:02:56Andrew Santino:Yeah. The wolves come out only at night when you're blind, but don't have to eat. Okay.

1:03:02Bobby Lee:Very good. Yeah. Very deep. An alcoholic prophet. We're doing something very good. I would like to use this time to say this. December 6th, December 6th, we're doing a home run derby for Special Olympics. We're raising money here in the Valley. December 6th, you can come hit home runs off of your favorite celebrity, comic, actor, whoever. We're having a bunch of people come out and you can hit dingers off your favorite celebrities at a softball home run derby tournament. What's the event? For Special Olympics. You're literally signed up for it. But thank you for - Wait, hold on. So, pigs. Let's touch on that so we can save Bobby's ass right now.

1:03:37Bobby Lee:100%. We're doing an event for Special Olympics. We're raising money for Special Olympics. We've done this before. We did Family Feud, and all of our winnings were supposed to go to Special Olympics because McCone in the back there, his dad, my mom worked for Special Olympics. So we take it serious. I like it. I take it seriously. We donate money to it. He's being a smartass with him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But no, we do. But December 6th, we are going to do it in the Valley. It's going to be a Special Olympics home run derby. So I have a cousin with special needs. Yeah. and he's one of my favorite people in the world.

1:04:04His name's Dougie. What's his name? Dougie. We call him Dougie. Doug's about three years older than me. But I got involved with a program called Best Buddies. Oh, yeah, Best Buddies is great. And an unbelievable program. And Tom Brady and I used to do an event together at Harvard, and he would do the celebrity football game with the buddies. And then when I started getting involved, it's like, what is my piece? So I would cook. I would do, you know, I'd just cook something like appetizers or something. There was a few hundred people there. Well, the buddies really gravitated towards it because they like to have jobs that have definition and have structure.

1:04:40And so I started bringing the buddies in. They started working with me. Well, it evolved into this food and wine event that involved the buddies cooking. And then we did so much job placement with them. So I have been a fan of the Best Buddies program. And if you don't know about it, it's amazing. and also Special Olympics, which Doug was a big. Doug won some Special Olympics. Doug's back 6 '2". And I mean, this guy was a track and field machine. Yeah. And I just think that that's, again, one of those things. Some people get down with the first responder program that I'm into. Some people gravitate towards the Special Olympics and the best buddies.

1:05:16Whatever it is, we all have time to give back. Maybe it's financially. Maybe it's a social media post. Maybe it's with money, whatever. But there's some really great programs out there that need some respect and some recognition. And the fact that two of the funniest son of bitches I've ever met are slowing it down for one second to do something December 6th. Which, what do these people want to come hit the balls for? Because they're going to get this interface and be around their favorite comedians and have a one-on-one experience that nothing will be. I mean, that'll be a pretty intimate piece.

1:05:48It's going to be fun. Let me know if I can donate anything. Oh, we're going to be hitting you up. we're gonna be hitting you up if you guys need some auction items a chef coat I mean whatever

1:05:56Bobby Lee:if I can do something I'd be more happy I love it we're actually gonna hit you up for about$100 ,000 if that's okay will you take that in an out of state check I will I will two party a two party is fine post-dated we'll take all of it we don't really care I'm just making up my own numbers like they did you know stretch it out that's a great piece I'm looking forward this is one it's great to get this friendship and to meet you guys and it's not as terrifying I'm not kidding you. I was actually scared. Why? You're killing it. This is one of our best episodes. Because you guys are so funny and so fast and so witty.

1:06:30And then the shit that comes out of your mouth, I'm like, oh my God. I did philanthropic fucking dinosaur bomb.

1:06:39Which melted the house. No, it's going to make it to the episode for sure. My cousins would come, Doug's family. The Prices would come to our house in Northern California back when I was a kid. and my uncle pete would say to all of the kids now when we go to cousin guy's house uncle jim is going to talk certain ways and the ways that uncle jim talks are okay for uncle jim but when we leave we don't talk like that in connecticut all right we what is it something that uncle jim would say uh just about every goddamn word you've said plus six yeah oh he had no filter there was filter and my dad would call you know he'd call shit shit right and and that was so it was a real funny about so when i was walking in here reed says to me reed that you hate um that you're farting friend fart reed uh fart reed said to me you know these guys are gonna go pretty hot and fast they're gonna go really down some dark rabbit holes don't feel you have to go with them that's right because i will if we were drinking tequila this you and i we this should have been over You want me to go get some?

1:07:43I'll go get it. No, please not. Guy, I'll go get it right now. I'll go pull open that.

1:07:47Andrew Santino:Yeah, no. We don't really, you know, we're Christian in many ways. Yes. And recognizing sobriety. Congratulations. Yeah, yeah. I'm sober. You know what I mean? I just, you know, rabbit holes, I don't know.

1:07:58Bobby Lee:We go down some dark rabbit holes, but the fun thing about us is we don't need to jump down. Yeah. We go down it by ourselves. We're like the, what is the - Some are pushed down it. Yeah, some people get pushed down. The search sliders, you know, the people that go down first to go dig it out. We're the explorers. We try it Didn't they know Rabbit holes Rabbit holes Yeah they think They're rabbit holes What are you getting tired What are you getting tired You throwing out bullshit Because you're getting tired Cut it the fuck out By the way I love this hat you're wearing This like childish LA Dodgers hat It's my favorite thing you wear Yeah thank you I love that hat Thank you Because you Childish Because it's too small It's just like a kid Would get it at the game Yeah because you know They make the youth size

1:08:32Andrew Santino:That is what that is That's a youth size Yeah I went to the kids department I have a little head Can I ask you some dating advice Please Alright so I've been married for 30 years, but yeah, go right ahead. I'm real contemporary. But I feel like you're like Yoda in that way. Okay. Okay. Okay. So would you date somebody, you know what I mean, that your friend liked? I think the code is you have to get clearance. I have to go to the friend. You have to get clearance, Clarence. Yeah. You do. What do you think? Because that's the monkey philosophy, the branch thing that he said was the same.

1:09:06Bobby Lee:Is there a girl that you like that your friend is?

1:09:07Andrew Santino:No, hypothetically. Okay. Okay. name linda yeah yeah yeah so if you know your friend liked her you've dated girls that have also dated your friends well here's the reputation that i have right i'm dating a girl right now who is the ex of a of another friend of another comedian right and now there's a rumor like oh bobby dates exes so yeah but is how is that wrong see but here's my this is my i'm gonna get

1:09:30Bobby Lee:your answer but here's my philosophy they're no longer with that person hopefully they've moved on why is it inappropriate for you to date them because some guys are like you know they they they're territorial that's their problem if the girl has moved on and she wants to date you but

1:09:45Andrew Santino:you don't want to burn the bridge with the you know i mean the guy who cares then he's a week you gotta check your you gotta check your uh status i mean if it was a week ago probably not right what about five days but last night um no i i think the thing is is you got to check the credibility of the buddy because they don't own that person that's right and the reality of it that's why i said you go to him and you say hey listen um i know that you guys had a thing just tell you know i'm interested and i to me i think that's respectful but i don't think by any means is you know again timing is the biggest timing is it but timing is life but how about

1:10:19Bobby Lee:this yes how about this if it's an ex-wife a little bit more murky that's darker water so if your wife yeah you guys got a divorce i would fucking kill you you would kill me? I would slit your throat three years down the road I don't give a fuck three years down the road I don't give a fuck if it's a thousand years I'd come back and I'd kill you you can't date your friend's ex-wife ex-girlfriend is different to me

1:10:43Andrew Santino:like if I dated your if you got a divorce and I did stop he's gonna fucking kill you

1:10:48Bobby Lee:you're not gonna kill me

1:10:49Andrew Santino:with spatulas?

1:10:51Bobby Lee:you think Guy Fieri can't fuck you up? oh no he would fuck you up Oh, no, dude. You're so out of pocket, dude. Okay, so that's, all right. Honestly, I mean, and I appreciate this. I wouldn't kill you, okay? I wouldn't kill you. Yeah. But I would slowly torture the shit out of you until you wanted to kill yourself. Oh. Okay? Right. I would get so medieval. What am I doing? I'd get medieval on your ass. Oh, I see. Okay, all right. You sell Pulp Fiction, right?

1:11:22Andrew Santino:I'm going to invite some Pulp Fiction. What if you guys ended amicably? No. Amical if you were married. Can you spell that?

1:11:30Bobby Lee:Yeah, no. I don't know how. Dinosaur both.

1:11:31Andrew Santino:I can't even say it, but yeah. Amicably.

1:11:35Bobby Lee:Amicably. Amicably. Okay, so what? But married is a different stage. Why? Because that's a bigger commitment than someone who just dated. You just dated someone just dating somebody. But if your friend married, someone got a divorce, you can't date their ex-wife. If it's a real friend. If it's not a real friend, it doesn't matter. Can I go to you?

1:11:52Andrew Santino:I call you up. What's up, guy? It's Bob. You're going to go, who? for sure you know i mean i'm gonna go lee i don't know right then i'll say bad friends and that yeah and then i go philanthropy listen i'm coming to you for the philanthropist yeah yeah the philanthropist i'm coming to you first right and i want to be a man to man man mano y mano okay and i want to say to you you know i met your ex at a bar and i haven't done anything yet but can i get your permission permission okay um you're you're saying not his ex-wife his an ex-girlfriend no his ex-wife oh okay yeah yeah so it depends i think okay there's a really good question there because if you had a really bad divorce and you don't like the person anymore and they want to let you go through hell with her then that's a story bobby call her i'll give you her matter of In fact, I'll tell you where she lives now.

1:12:44Right. I see. But otherwise, I want to show you my collection of needle nose pliers.

1:12:50Andrew Santino:Okay. Well, I'm never going to do that. That's right. I would never do that. Now I know. And you, same thing. Yeah. Brother, you know better. Okay. You know what I mean?

1:12:57Bobby Lee:But also ex-girlfriend, I think you, if you're interested in a friend's ex-girlfriend, that's so fine. I don't see the problem there because it's someone they dated if they've moved on like adults. Now, there could be a thing. Let's say it was a five-year relationship. Five years is not long enough. Okay. But it's a long relationship. Next week's not okay. Maybe next month's not okay. I think give it a little time. A year. Give it a year. Give it a year. Give that. And I think a respectful, just, hey, man, just want to let you know. Because the last thing they want to find out is find out the wrong way.

1:13:28Then that would be a weird thing.

1:13:29Andrew Santino:Right. And just hypothetically. But why in the hell are you asking me this shit? Because. Let's talk about what to do with those darn holiday leftovers or something like that. No. No. Give me something good. No, no, no, no. I don't know much about food. Okay. He doesn't need leftovers. Yeah, I don't eat leftovers either. Time out, time out.

1:13:44Bobby Lee:Yeah. You wanna get that joke out clean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Go ahead, get that joke out. This is what he does. Go ahead. Bobby doesn't eat leftovers. Very good. Very good. You subtitle this?

1:13:53Andrew Santino:Yeah, we have to. Bobby doesn't eat leftovers. I'm asking you because you seem like a guy that knows.

1:13:58Bobby Lee:Yeah, you know what? Because guy seems like he's got -

1:14:03Andrew Santino:Knowledge, you have knowledge about life. You know a lot about life. Yeah, ask him another life question aside from food.

1:14:09Bobby Lee:Bobby doesn't eat leftovers. I mean, how can we not get rid of this guy after all this? It's unbelievable. By the way, Guy, for the record, this gentleman here, he's sick again. He shows up sick to our studio no less than once a month. No less. Am I lying? Tell me I'm lying, anybody in the booth. You guys are all getting sick every time he gets sick because you're with him. So we have someone with chronic diarrhea. Right here. And then we also have somebody that's sick all the time. Yeah, yeah. Thank you for allowing me into your Petri dish. I appreciate you coming. Well, this will make you stronger, right?

1:14:36Bobby Lee:It's like drinking post water. It doesn't kill you. No. Guy, I want to know the life advice that you have because he had a great question. Bobby asked actually a great question about what's next and whatever. And you said, you are very fulfilled, but you're going to keep moving and keep going forward. Could you ever, would you ever see yourself acting in a television show or a film, but like legit, legit? Because if we did something -

1:14:59Andrew Santino:Have you been in a movie?

1:15:00Bobby Lee:What I'm asking is if we made something like a film, would you? would you well let's talk about what type of film it is because right now it seems like it's going to be in your garage and it's going to have a lot of baby oil it will it will you said you went to the yard sale and got these we did um no i was just in happy gilmore 2 yeah i know i know i know we were in a 2 we were in it oh yeah you were oh by the way on hey and you have lost a lot of weight by the way um since then but on the table in the belly button hair uh still nightmares okay okay I'm saying would you do a role not as Guy Fieri?

1:15:35Oh yeah, absolutely. You would. Absolutely. And matter of fact -

1:15:38Andrew Santino:Think of it, Andrew Santino, Bobby Lee, Guy Fieri, Kevin Spacey, and Bill Cosby. Bill Cosby. You know what I mean? What do you think? Andrew Santino. Expendables part five. Bobby Lee. Yeah.

1:15:49Bobby Lee:The very expendables. The very expendable. The very expendable. Yeah, expendable. Yeah. Expendable. Yeah, no, this would be great. And I love comedy. I love laughing at life. I love the, you know, people ask me all the time about the flame shirt. You know, that's - I love that fucking - You know, that was one picture with a flame shirt. Yeah, you never wore that again. No, I never wore it in the first place.

1:16:13Andrew Santino:Do you have flames on your body tattoos-wise? No. No, no.

1:16:15Bobby Lee:It was just - What, what, what? Yeah, what is it? Bring up the shirt because it's one time - I do have a flame on, I think, those are the initials of my oldest kid, Hunter. That was it though. That, this iconic shirt, people can, they buy this at Halloween. So if you see that on there, that's Johnny Garlic's. That's one of my restaurants. And we were doing a promotion for the barbecue and the whole thing. And so my manager at the time says, hey, here's this flame shirt. Put this on. It'd be a good promo piece. So it was. It was like a flyer, you know, like a door hanger or something. Yeah. And boy, has it lived on in perpetuity.

1:16:46Isn't that wild?

1:16:46Andrew Santino:That's wild. One photo does that.

1:16:48Bobby Lee:Well, you know what that is for? I'm Bobby Mom for us. I mean, I'm - Yeah. Oh, dude. See what I mean, though? We did it one time. What guy? I really just cry inside for you. But the Bobby Mom Prison voicemail. Well, Bob, I'm in prison. When I did the voice of your mom when she's locked up. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It'll live on in perpetuity. That is our flame shirt. Yeah. So the flame shirt, so we lean into it. I mean, there's a Fieri Con in New York. There's a couple of them around the country. That's awesome. I have 10 bachelorette parties a week that show up to the Vegas guy's kitchen and bar in Vegas that are having their Guy Fieri bachelorette party.

1:17:29I mean, I love it. If you can't laugh at yourself and you can't poke fun at it and have a good time with it, I mean, life is too short. If you're going to go around puckered up, tight-assed about it, then I think you're missing what life is.

1:17:42Andrew Santino:But I think you put that back into style, though. Yeah. I bought a Vans that have flames on it. Well, Vans make shirts like that. They have a Vans shirt like that. If I was smart, I would have capitalized on making every shirt like that that ever came out. but now there's so many people that are doing it. And people are like, what about people ripping off the flair hair? And I said, listen, Elvis wrote so many great songs and no one will ever produce them and sound like Elvis. But you got to love that when someone wants to go and try to utilize a little flattery there. Embrace it. So back to the great movie that I'm in.

1:18:16Bobby Lee:Yeah, you're coming in. We're right. We're going to make a movie and we'd love to have you, but you won't play you. You would play a different character. Hey, hey.

1:18:22Andrew Santino:The main nemesis. Did you ever see?

1:18:23Bobby Lee:Yeah, the nemesis. You would play the nemesis, which you're usually a nice, sweet man, which you are. You'd be evil on this. Let's mix this shit up. Let's go, dude. I'm ready, because you just heard about the torture thing. Yeah. I'm ready. Yeah. I torture Bobby. It's a self-papilling prophecy. It's a self-papilling prophecy.

1:18:39Andrew Santino:A hostile movie. Yeah, and we get capped. We're tourists.

1:18:43Bobby Lee:He's like, yeah, boys, you on a little adventure?

1:18:45Andrew Santino:Yeah, yeah, yeah. Human centipede, but you get surgically your penis to my mouth. I'm just throwing it out there.

1:18:53Bobby Lee:Yeah, it's a workshopping thing.

1:18:55Andrew Santino:Because I don't like memorizing lines, so I won't have any lines. So spitball. It'll just be like, mm-mm. Yeah, that's good. All right, so if you want to know if I will play somebody that's not my character, there's a commercial that I did for Uber Eats. Play it. We got to watch it. We got to watch it. That was, and they called, and I think it was actually kind of a joke that they called and wanted to know if I would do it, and I'm like, absolutely, I'll do it. I'm so down with this. I delivered all kinds of people. You never really know who you'll meet. Big mansion in Beverly Hills. Into.

1:19:32Pardon me, pardon me, excuse me, excuse me. Thank you, thank you.

1:19:46Splendid.

1:19:48Bobby Lee:Sing different on TV. Do you mean the flute? yeah that's what it is blue if you'll excuse us everyone wow

1:19:59Andrew Santino:very good dude it's so good that's a great you being like a british dignitary

1:20:06Bobby Lee:with your with with all the fancy people around and everybody and then they i mean we laughed

1:20:12Andrew Santino:so those are all real actors oh yeah yeah so i don't know anything about real acting i just know That was so fucking good, dude. I just know, like, talking shit and laughing and having fun. So I'm there. So when we would cut and I would sit there and just start busting up and they -

1:20:27Bobby Lee:They held it together, huh? No, no, God, I had them all laughing by the end of it. But I would talk to them and I'm like, so I'm going to do this little move. And the director's like, you know, you don't have to give us this. I'm like, if I'm going to do this, man, we're going to go big or go home. Yeah. And that was one of the funnest commercials. It was awesome. Well, we've got to slot him into something. We've got to slot him into something. Well, and I want to say this. This is what's funny about you. People probably think, the joke that they're playing is, people probably think, he puts this on for the thing.

1:20:54Bobby Lee:That's for the thing. But this is who you are. You show up like that's who you are. So this is the joke that people go, I bet you he's some rich, fancy guy. He's not this kind of guy. They think you're this guy. That's like a - No.

1:21:07Andrew Santino:This is authentic.

1:21:08Bobby Lee:This is real. But I'm saying, the idea is people put on the mask for Hollywood and blah, blah, blah, blah. Nah, this is guy. They ask, I run into people all the time and they'll go, you know, we'll meet and we'll say, hello, how you doing? And I don't really have a lot of filts. I don't use real bad language in front of people I don't know, but they'll go, it's just the way he is on TV. Yeah. Yeah. I'm like, yeah, I'm not acting. I wouldn't even know what to do because you can't fake it in that capacity because it has to be authentic. And I think that's what people read through. like with you guys.

1:21:39The authenticity of this relationship and this banter and so forth, you can't make this up. You can't try to be two funny guys that sit in a room and bust balls on each other if it really doesn't happen in real life. Yeah, it does.

1:21:53Andrew Santino:I mean, when we hate each other and we're like about to explode, I mean, you can feel it. Yeah, you can feel it. Yeah. London. London was bad. London was bad. London was really bad. Also, I had a mental breakdown

1:22:04Bobby Lee:down at Dollyworld. I had a mental attack. Dollyworld's badass, though. Yeah, no, no, no. It had nothing to do with Dollyworld. No, but I'm just saying it. It had to do with me. It had to do with me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did you drink when you did this show? No, no, no, no. He's been sober this whole time. What show? This show. You're saying this show. Yeah. This show. Today? No, not today, but in general. No, no, no. No, he's been sober.

1:22:23Andrew Santino:No, I had been relapsed on the show before. You relapsed on the show before, I'm saying.

1:22:27Bobby Lee:Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's been a long time. Because I was going to say that could definitely add some. Well, we've gone to rehab together three times now. And it's been fun. He's my best friend. Well, it's true. I mean, we've gone a few times and it's made the show stronger. It's made our relationship stronger. He's my brother for life.

1:22:46Andrew Santino:Where did I run into you the first time? Because it was recently. I mean, a year or two. Bert's.

1:22:51Bobby Lee:Oh, Bert's premiere.

1:22:52Andrew Santino:Oh, that's right. That's where I was. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was fun. And I love Bert. I've had him on a couple shows and talk about it. You know the great thing about it? It's interesting to hear that you guys say that there's beef. I've heard about beefs and comedy for people ripping off jokes. That's a big deal. I've heard some of that shit. That, to me, not such a fan of. But when I see you guys, it's like Bert. Bert's one of the guys that I look at how I treat my industry of trying to help champion people and bring people up. and I think he's been a great mentor or band leader or coach but he seems to really be interested in all of his buddies and all of his friends and helping people's careers get recognized.

1:23:34I got emotional.

1:23:34Andrew Santino:We were in the Ozarks and we were backstage and I just turned to him and I got teary-eyed and I just said, bro, growing up, no one invited me to play.

We're standing out there and we're looking at the first Johnny Garlics. We're standing out in the parking lot. And he says, Guido, you know why you're going to be successful? And I'm like, because I work my ass off and because I'm a good cook.
