The fans came at me.

[Andrew Santino]

Do you know what I ask about? You know, who they are? They're what? They're. What I'm trying to get to is if there's, like. If they're damaged.

[Benny Blanco]

If. And you. You want to stay.

[Andrew Santino]

I want to see if they know if there's, like, some sort of deep trauma going on. You know what I mean? If they have a dream here in la, you know, can they make it? If they can't make it, I don't want to do it.

[Bobby Lee]

How do you know? How do you.

[Benny Blanco]

How do you know?

[Andrew Santino]

Because I'll go on their Instagram 40.

[Benny Blanco]

Years to make it. Takes everyone so long.

[Andrew Santino]

You can. Benny, let me ask you something. You know, you're a producer, right?

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah.

[Andrew Santino]

Right? You can hear it when you. If you saw a girl's Instagram and saw her singing, would you be able to. Can you tell?

[Benny Blanco]

I don't know.

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah. Yes, you can. Danny, look at me.

[Benny Blanco]

This is your singer. I thought she was a boom mic.

[Andrew Santino]

Is that. Can't you tell as a standup, if a girl, if she at the open mic level, that she can may or may not make it?

[Bobby Lee]

You can usually tell a standup if they're going to. If they're going to grow. If they're going to grow.

[Andrew Santino]

Exactly.

[Bobby Lee]

Usually you'll know if they're, you know.

[Benny Blanco]

So you want someone to grow with you?

[Andrew Santino]

No, I just want to be able to look and she. At least she can, you know, she has the ability to make it.

[Bobby Lee]

Okay, sure she has.

[Andrew Santino]

I don't like when people are like, I'm a good singer, and then they can't. And that means the delusional.

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Andrew Santino]

I don't want delusion.

[Benny Blanco]

You don't want.

[Andrew Santino]

Okay, yeah, yeah.

[Benny Blanco]

No delusion.

[Andrew Santino]

I want a good family upbringing.

[Benny Blanco]

Okay. Delusion. Boom, Mic.

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah. Boom, Mike, wait. But not delusion.

[Benny Blanco]

Family upbringing, though. This is I always talk about. Oh, Denny, no, no. Cause my mom. My mom always said. My mom always says this. She always says. She's like. But, you know, before. Before I started, you know, dating Selena, she would always say, I want you to be with someone from a good family. And then. I don't agree with that. My mom was from a shitty family. Like, my mom has a terrible parent. I don't. You don't get to choose who your parents are. Sometimes your parents are d. I don't know. I don't believe.

[Andrew Santino]

You know what, Benny? Your tone today.

[Benny Blanco]

No, it went.

[Andrew Santino]

It went from, like, equal grounds to, like, you being like them.

[Benny Blanco]

[Andrew Santino]

That's right.

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

I'll defend Bobby again. You know why? You know why? Do you know why he reads it wrong sometimes? Because Bobby lives in the moment. He flies free and beautiful.

[Benny Blanco]

And the unicorn, he's a unicorn.

[Bobby Lee]

And so therefore, he's living in the moment he assumes. Let me try. And if he reads it wrong, he says. Said, I'm so sorry.

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah, Yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

I thought you thought I was wonderful. And she said, no, I'm not sexually attracted to you.

[Benny Blanco]

Hi. I'm not sexually attracted to you. Will you be my friend?

You come here every week. You know the menu.

[Andrew Santino]

I know there's only two things on the appetizer, but, you know, I mean.

[Bobby Lee]

We'Re not gonna get both so after the kiss, though, that was it.

[Andrew Santino]

Oh, can I ask you this before? You're not getting into.

[Benny Blanco]

[Andrew Santino]

Did the just. You don't have to get into specifics. Right. But did the kiss lead to more that day?

[Benny Blanco]

It did not.

[Andrew Santino]

Okay. When did that happen?

[Bobby Lee]

He wants to know date and time.

[Andrew Santino]

No, I don't want to know date and time. I just eventually, like. And I don't get specific.

[Benny Blanco]

[Andrew Santino]

When did you guys start dating then?

[Benny Blanco]

Immediately.

[Andrew Santino]

That was the.

[Bobby Lee]

Did you spend every day together?

[Benny Blanco]

No, because we're both so busy. But. But very, very quickly, we realized, you know, when, like, you first start dating someone, you're like, oh, I can't give them all my time. But then very quickly, like, it's like, oh, I have an hour free here. I'll hang out with them. Oh, I have this time here. And very quickly, we realized that we were. I have a Wigo fever.

[Andrew Santino]

[Benny Blanco]

Very quickly, I realized we were, like, inseparable and love. Yeah. And I met my best friend who.

[Bobby Lee]

Her and Taylor Swift were at a sushi restaurant, and they were sending me a voice memo, and they were like, oh, my God, this is so much fun. We miss you. We wish you were here. And she's like. And she was like, we love you. And then just, like, she literally said, we love you. And then it was like. And then it ended. And then. And then I was waiting. I.

Yeah, but you wore. In many ways, you wore Selena down. No, I mean, you were working together, right? So you had that trustworthy.

Yeah.

[Benny Blanco]

Did you. When you were younger, do you. Are you finding it that you're getting girls easier now or when you were younger, bro?

[Bobby Lee]

Do you find it easier now that you're rich and famous to get girls versus when you were poor?

[Benny Blanco]

I'm all here with you, Bobby.

[Andrew Santino]

The way you laugh just now, dude, really pissed me off.

[Benny Blanco]

It did.

[Bobby Lee]

When you were poor, did it make.

[Benny Blanco]

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah, Dead. Everyone laughing. Fuck off.

[Benny Blanco]

Did it make you mad in real life? Yeah, I was just trying.

[Andrew Santino]

I got.

[Benny Blanco]

I was being honest.

[Andrew Santino]

I know. Benny. I got. When I was 23 and I was performing as a. Like an open micr is when I got the confidence to be. But before that I was a virgin.

[Bobby Lee]

And now he's the king.

[Benny Blanco]

And now you're the king. Were you confident as a. Yeah.

[Andrew Santino]

He got blowjobs in high school.

[Bobby Lee]

Everybody got blowjobs.

[Benny Blanco]

Got blowjob in high school.

[Andrew Santino]

I never got one.

[Benny Blanco]

Not in high school.

[Andrew Santino]

I said 23, dude.

[Benny Blanco]

23 was first. Blowjob was 23. First kiss.

[Andrew Santino]

I mean, I kissed out a girl and I kissed Out.

[Benny Blanco]

A girl.

[Andrew Santino]

She was knocked out. I kissed her out.

[Bobby Lee]

He kissed her so hard right now.

[Benny Blanco]

Okay.

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah, so I. I kissed a girl in high school. Her name was.

[Bobby Lee]

No need to say the full name. Why doesn't need that on the Internet?

[Andrew Santino]

Nothing happened. We just kissed. Why is that not bad thing?

[Bobby Lee]

Because what if she doesn't want her name attached to that?

[Andrew Santino]

All right, Julie Magalon.

[Bobby Lee]

There it is. So you kiss Julie Maganal.

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah, Maganal. And then. Then the next Monday. It was a weekend.

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah.

[Andrew Santino]

She denied it to everyone that she kissed me.

[Bobby Lee]

That's why I said, you shouldn't put her full name in this.

[Andrew Santino]

And I remember thinking about it for years.

[Bobby Lee]

It hurt you.

[Andrew Santino]

Oh, my God.

[Bobby Lee]

Well, we've all had this moment. I had. Okay, let's all give our embarrassing.

[Benny Blanco]

Okay.

[Bobby Lee]

I had one.

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

My freshman year of college, a girl lived literally two doors down. So gorgeous, like, so cool. And we're all like a little friendship circle. And then one night, I wrote her a note, like, kind of like a confessional being like, I have this crazy crush on you. And I was like, my heart. You know when your heart, like, hurts? It's beating so hard. And I slid it under her door, and then I went back into my dorm, and I was like, was that stupid? Should I have not done that? Like, why don't, you know, like. And I just kind of blacked out and thought for like an hour, and I hit my hand to God. I come. I go get something to eat from the commissary. I come back, and she's down at the end of the hall with a group of, like, the other people at the end of the hall, like, a girl and. And another dude. And they were laughing at the note.

[Andrew Santino]

No. Oh, that's so funny.

[Bobby Lee]

And that.

[Andrew Santino]

No, no, that's your face killed me.

[Benny Blanco]

Me.

[Bobby Lee]

That killed me.

[Andrew Santino]

Oh, that's so sad. I'm so sorry.

[Bobby Lee]

It. Me up so much.

[Benny Blanco]

Oh, my God.

[Andrew Santino]

So there's a girl at the Addison Improv.

[Bobby Lee]

Oh, it hurt. That hurt.

[Andrew Santino]

She was a waitress, okay. And I. I opened it for Carlos Mencia back in the 90s, right? And I hooked up with her. I had sense with her, right? Then years later, I ran into another comic, and he's, like, talking about her. You know what I mean? Yeah. She. She hooked up with all these comics. He listed the name, right? And I go, was I in the name list? He goes, no, she didn't mention you. And I was so hurt by that.

[Bobby Lee]

That hurts.

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah, give me your hurt.

[Benny Blanco]

When I was 13, I asked out. My first girl. Okay. Like, on a date. My mom literally helped me. I got flowers and chocolates, and I did everything, and. And I went to a school that, like, it wasn't a great school, so. And there was, like, a lot of fights. There was a lot of bullying, blah, blah. And there was, like, a big locker comp. And there was, like, you know, almost 2,000 kids that went to my school, and she was in the middle, and everyone knew it was gonna happen, so I went and I did it. And she said yes. Okay. So I'm like, oh, my. I'm, like, so happy, but we're so awkward and nervous. We, like, don't even know. We did, like, this, like, weird church hug, like, where your butt sticks out. And then, like, we didn't look at each other, and then we both walked our separate ways, and I was like, will you be my girlfriend? And she was like, yeah, yeah. And then I get to class, and I sit down, and I remember I'm wearing gray sweatpants and a white T shirt. And do you know. You know when, like. Okay, so I dropped a pen, and you know when, like, you bend over and you bend a little too quick and you fart?

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah.

[Benny Blanco]

Okay.

[Andrew Santino]

You did that.

[Benny Blanco]

I bent over and I shit my pants.

[Andrew Santino]

Just.

[Benny Blanco]

Full.

[Bobby Lee]

Didn't see that coming.

[Andrew Santino]

Did that go?

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah, 100%. Like. Like, not even. Not like a squirt. Like a full. Like a. Like that. Like that smart water bottle. Yeah, just, like, inside. And I'm sitting there, and I'm like, oh, my God. And I. And I do the thing where you, like, wiggle, and I'm like, it's there. It's in there.

[Andrew Santino]

Oh, my God.

[Benny Blanco]

And I. And I'm like.

[Andrew Santino]

It's warm, too, right?

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah. Oh, it's so hard.

[Bobby Lee]

I do the thing that you wiggle. I don't. I don't have no reference to this. Yeah, most people don't. Their pants.

[Benny Blanco]

No. What do you mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah, You. Your pants before you see.

[Andrew Santino]

Wait, stop a second. Did you just hear your tone? You said, we just met today.

[Bobby Lee]

I've been with him.

[Andrew Santino]

It's been my Prius. Remember the Prius? Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

All over it.

[Benny Blanco]

So I shit my pants.

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah.

[Benny Blanco]

And I say, I say, hey, can I go to the bathroom? And in my school, they don't let you go to the bathroom for the first 15 minutes or the last 15 minutes because they think everyone's gonna skip. Okay. And I was like, I really have to go to the bathroom. And they were like, no. And I was like, I'm sick. And they were like, I'm sorry, you're gonna have to wait. And I was like, I have to go. And I was so scared that with any movement, any movement, if I move the wrong way, it could like break the seal through like the bottom of my sweatpants and smells like I have no.

[Andrew Santino]

Oh, my God. Oh my God.

[Benny Blanco]

And so I'm. I'm. I'm sitting there and I'm like. And I just get up and leave. I get up and leave. That's the move. And she says. And the teacher goes. The teacher goes, wait. And as she's saying wait, I just turn to the girl and I say, I go, I'll be right back. And I, I close the door. The teacher's like coming out. I run full speed. Okay? I run to the bathroom real quick, see if I can fix the situation. It's. It's unfixable. It's gone through my pants. It's in my. It's like, it's, it's it's probably seeped through the other side. It's unfixable. I don't know. I. First I throw away the pants, and they're still like, it. I I. It cannot be fixed. So I run full speed all the way home. All the way home. And for some reason, my mom is.

[Andrew Santino]

Wait, wait. You left the school just running?

[Benny Blanco]

Yes. Are you kidding me? I. And I lived close to the school.

[Andrew Santino]

Okay. Okay.

[Bobby Lee]

I went in your underwear or what?

[Benny Blanco]

No, I had my. I had my sweatpants back on. No underwear.

[Bobby Lee]

Okay.

[Benny Blanco]

And I remember, I go home. I get home somehow, my mom was there. She's never there. She doesn't even work. My mom worked in another state.

[Bobby Lee]

She's like, hi, honey. The gardener's just leaving. We don't have a garden.

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah, like, mom, we don't have.

[Andrew Santino]

What?

[Benny Blanco]

What's Bobby doing?

[Bobby Lee]

We're just friends. She's not sexually attracted to me.

[Benny Blanco]

It's fine. It's a.

[Bobby Lee]

We're just. It's a running. It was a bit.

[Benny Blanco]

I don't like it, Bob.

[Bobby Lee]

Drop it. Drop it. Drop it. I've been defending you all.

[Andrew Santino]

Was your mom. Mom mad at you?

[Benny Blanco]

My mom immediately sends me back to school. Doesn't even let me change.

[Andrew Santino]

Well, you.

[Bobby Lee]

You did.

[Andrew Santino]

You told her the situation.

[Benny Blanco]

Yes. And she said, I don't care. You're going back to school. She said. She said. I said, what's wrong?

[Andrew Santino]

I said, what's wrong with your mom?

[Benny Blanco]

She goes get back to. She's probably in the garden. Yeah, she was like, get back to school.

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah.

[Benny Blanco]

So I had to go back to school.

[Andrew Santino]

No, you go in the forest.

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah, I went back to school, and I had missed that period. And somehow, like, I had actually had, like, an extra pair of underwear in my gym, like, thing. Cause it was gym next, and, like, I escaped. It was all good, but it was fully traumatizing.

[Bobby Lee]

Wait a minute. The girl never found out you shit your pants?

[Benny Blanco]

Found out, but she broke up with me, I think, like, two days later.

[Bobby Lee]

She never found out.

[Benny Blanco]

Never found out.

[Bobby Lee]

You need to retell that story and say she did find out.

[Benny Blanco]

Okay? She found. She found out. Why she found out I shit my pants. I thought it was heroic what I did. Yeah, I thought it was heroic. No, you weren't.

[Bobby Lee]

We did stories. We were embarrassed.

[Benny Blanco]

What are you talking about? I was so. It was the most.

[Bobby Lee]

She never knew.

[Andrew Santino]

She never knew. All that stuff just was meaningless.

[Benny Blanco]

So it doesn't.

[Bobby Lee]

You just give us a story. It wasn't even about heartbreak. The sections at the end.

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's so.

[Bobby Lee]

You so get. But that wasn't heartbreak. Okay, so you never experienced real heartbreak?

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

No, he's never had.

[Andrew Santino]

He's never had.

[Bobby Lee]

And that's why he gets Selena Gomez.

[Andrew Santino]

I know. We have had heartbreak.

[Bobby Lee]

We've had real heartbreak.

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

By the way, I asked out a girl. I asked a girl to fucking spring or not prom, but like spring or one of those things, and she denied me. No, thank you. This is real. This feels good.

[Benny Blanco]

Okay.

[Bobby Lee]

And then years later, hit me up online to come to, like, a show. I was playing a show in whatever city she lives in now. And hit me up online. Hey, we can't wait to see you again at the show, you know, can we get some tickets? Da, da, da. And I never responded. And it fell. Felt so good, really, to deny her. Oh, it was such good payback.

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah. One time I was at the San Diego American Comedy Company, okay. And the hot chicks from school, right, from my high school went. The ones that never even talked to me, right? And they're sitting there with their husbands, but they now all look like, you know, I mean, sperm whale. I mean, they've got barnacles on their face, right? There's plankton all over, you know, it's like they don't look good, right? And I just killing, you know, me, I'm looking at them. It feels so good.

[Bobby Lee]

God, it feels.

[Benny Blanco]

I love it.

[Bobby Lee]

It feels so good.

[Benny Blanco]

My friend has the best story of that I've ever heard. So my good friend growing up, we were all doing this thing when you were younger. Like, you know how, like, everyone's like, first kit. Well, you don't know this part, but. But no, I'm just. I'm just saying. You said you didn't kiss when you were 23.

[Bobby Lee]

No, he kissed in high school.

[Benny Blanco]

Oh, you can't. Okay, so do you remember?

[Andrew Santino]

It's unbelievable. It's. It's outrageous. It's. I've never seen it.

[Bobby Lee]

He's just trying to be relatable.

[Andrew Santino]

A big time producer comes in here. It's just. You know what I mean?

[Benny Blanco]

I've defended you.

[Andrew Santino]

No, you haven't.

[Benny Blanco]

Yes, I have. Well, let's keep.

[Andrew Santino]

Keep going.

[Benny Blanco]

Well, we'll let the crowd decide.

[Andrew Santino]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

I've never had a wonder story. Have you ever had a wonder story?

[Bobby Lee]

You live a wonder story.

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah. What are you talking about? Your life is perfect.

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But not like that wonderful.

[Bobby Lee]

We all know the guy. We had a guy in my high school named Kyle. I'm not gonna say his last name, but he. They called him the elephant because he had a trunk in high school. Yeah, he had. He had a cock so big. Like in gym class, you know, like, you put on the, like, school issue gym shorts. And I'm not kidding. When it's because they were short back in the day.

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

His. His penis, if he didn't put it away, would come out of the bottom of the gym shorts. It was unreal.

[Andrew Santino]

Here's another thing that I want to tell people right now. I'm glad we're bringing this up. Okay. And I would just FYI, anyone that sees me at Wii Spa. Right. Don't recognize me. What do you think? You mean I'm in this. You're right. You're in a steam room. It's steamy. Are you Bobby Lee?

[Benny Blanco]

Like, they say that to you?

[Andrew Santino]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And you were all naked. Right? And I always have to go.

[Bobby Lee]

Not here, not here.

[Benny Blanco]

You say you're not Bobby Lee here, but you're Bobby Lee outside. Or just don't.

[Andrew Santino]

I'm Ken Jeong here. Yeah, you're right. I'm Ken J. And then we'll go outside on Bobby Lee. My point is, is that it's one of those places, like when you're eating at a restaurant where it's like, you don't do it here when you're.

[Bobby Lee]

If you're on a date or something.

[Andrew Santino]

Right. But do you think naked in a spa is not a good place?

[Bobby Lee]

Just wait till we're. Wait till we're out of. In the locker room.

[Benny Blanco]

Spa might be number one. Number one to get recognized.

[Bobby Lee]

Bathroom is weird too. When I'm like pissing your.

[Benny Blanco]

Oh, yeah, yeah. Where a guy, like, comes up and hits you on the back, touches touching.

[Bobby Lee]

You in the bathroom is insane.

[Benny Blanco]

A guy. You know what happened to me?

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah.

[Benny Blanco]

The other day? It's happened to me so many times. The guy's just pissing and starts talking to me. And then after he talks to me, he gives me a high five with his dick hand.

[Bobby Lee]

Not necessary.

[Andrew Santino]

Not necessary.

[Bobby Lee]

Don't need to do that.

[Andrew Santino]

[Benny Blanco]

Do you know in real life everyone's is. You're so much shorter than I thought.

[Bobby Lee]

[Bobby Lee]

That's good. That's real.

[Benny Blanco]

How did he get it?

[Bobby Lee]

That's really good.

[Benny Blanco]

No, it's not Kentucky Lightning.

[Bobby Lee]

No, it's got to be a duo name, her and him. So it's got to be like almond and nut cake.

[Benny Blanco]

No, no, no, no, no. This is just our. You have two now. Wait, this is just. It's the album title. We're going doing album cover.

[Andrew Santino]

It's just the album, so I gave two.

[Bobby Lee]

Fontina cheese.

[Benny Blanco]

Close. Okay, you do one more.

[Bobby Lee]

Crush veneer.

[Benny Blanco]

Okay.

[Andrew Santino]

Can I do one more?

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah.

[Andrew Santino]

Isabella Isabella. Not in this lifetime.

[Benny Blanco]

I like that one.

[Bobby Lee]

That's beautiful.

[Andrew Santino]

Pretty good, right?

[Benny Blanco]

Is that yours? Yours is. That's beautiful.

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

No, that was gorgeous.

[Benny Blanco]

Oh, okay.

[Andrew Santino]

Okay. Isabella Isabella. Not in this lifetime. It's pretty good.

[Bobby Lee]

Your album is going to be called Wonderment.

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah.

[Andrew Santino]

No. What is it?

[Benny Blanco]

It's called I said I love you first.

[Andrew Santino]

Change it. Change it to Isabella Isabella.

[Benny Blanco]

I do think. Can we change it?

[Bobby Lee]

I think you should change your album to Pants and Gomez.

[Andrew Santino]

Yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah.

[Benny Blanco]

Which one?

[Andrew Santino]

So when does the album drop?

[Benny Blanco]

I think it's already out by the.

[Bobby Lee]

Time it's out right now.

[Andrew Santino]

Go check it out. On everything.

[Benny Blanco]

This is the future. Yeah, it's already out.

[Bobby Lee]

Well, this is. We are living in the future.

[Andrew Santino]

But is it hard to work with your fiance or.

[Bobby Lee]

No, he's been doing it for 20 years.

[Benny Blanco]

Is it? No, no, no, no. But it wasn't romantically. It wasn't. Yeah, it wasn't. It wasn't. It wasn't romantically before.

[Bobby Lee]

Well, what is it now?

[Benny Blanco]

Romantically?

[Bobby Lee]

No, but it didn't change the work relationship. Well, you guys hook up mid session?

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah, we're just. We're just. Just mid sesh. Hook up. No, it's actually better because we can. I know her so well now. We can say. We can speak so freely to each other and, like, really, you know, if we're, like, sitting in bed, I'll be like, oh, actually, that thing we did earlier, I thought it'd be better if we did it like this. And then she'll be like, like, oh. Like, I either like that or I don't, and we can just talk about it. Some things you might. You might walk on eggshells a little bit more. When you're working with artists, you don't necessarily know that well, and I think it's so much better. And we've been able to, like, you can say whatever you want. Like, you can talk about. There's no rule. Like, it's like, you know how in comedy, like, you might say a joke. That's something that you would never say in real life, but it's the art of the joke. That's why you're saying, like, it's not how you actually feel about a person, but you're saying it because you think it's funny. In, in music, it's the same thing. Like, you can say something like, let's say I was talking about, like, someone from my past, or she's talking about. From someone from her past in a song. If you can, like, talk about that way more than, like, talking about. You know what I mean? Like, so it's. It's e. It's like therapy. And it's. I, I. I found it to be much easier to work with her than I've worked with anybody else, I think. Think, wow.

[Bobby Lee]

Because go listen to the album.

[Benny Blanco]

That's.

[Bobby Lee]

I mean, you sold me on it. I got to tell you. Pants. You sold me bud.

[Benny Blanco]

Thanks.

[Andrew Santino]

[Benny Blanco]

[Bobby Lee]

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah.

[Andrew Santino]

I really like you, man. He's a nice guy, intelligent. I think we have a lot in common.

[Bobby Lee]

I don't know about that one.

[Benny Blanco]

No, I think so, too. We're the underdogs.

[Andrew Santino]

We're the underdogs. And you're winning. And I love it.

[Benny Blanco]

You're winning.
