Producer McCone
Your mom fell and you didn't help her. Rudy said.
Bobby Lee
What?
Producer McCone
Rudy said you didn't help your mom.
Bobby Lee
Because she was next to her.
Andrew Santino
It's her, your mom.
Bobby Lee
I know. I understand that. But when your mom falls, everyone knows this role where your mom falls, whoever's the closest picks her up. Everyone knows that.
Andrew Santino
That sounds like a good.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. Yeah. She fell over, and before I could respond, Jules was already picking her up.
Andrew Santino
Yeah.
Bobby Lee
And also, it's like when you're falling off of a chair, dude. It's embarrassing. Yeah, it's. What's going on?
Andrew Santino
What's going on? Well, when you reach a certain age, you're going to fall, and your mom fell while we were in Phoenix, and I felt a little bad.
Bobby Lee
Why?
Andrew Santino
Because it's sad when old people fall.
Bobby Lee
It is fall. Because they can upset him.
Andrew Santino
It's fall. It's winter.
Bobby Lee
It is a fall. No, she fell over. And I saw Jules do the movement of picking her up, so I didn't bother.
Andrew Santino
Jules did. Jules did the fake, where you're like, oh, oh, oh. But you didn't really. She doesn't really.
Bobby Lee
No, she did.
Andrew Santino
Oh, really?

When I was on stage, I was like, run of applause for Santino McUser. Norman. Because I forgot that black guy's name.
Andrew Santino
Did you really?

Andrew Santino
You have to be.
Bobby Lee

What charity would need. Who needs the most money?
Bobby Lee
Yeah, I just want to be able to participate here.

Depends on the person.
Bobby Lee
Every weekend.

Yeah, we could do shifts.
Producer McCone
It is a commitment for a few years.
Bobby Lee
It is until they. Can we choose? Can we choose the kid or.

Bobby Lee
Oh, dude, I didn't sleep. I'm not kidding you, like four days in a row. I would get like a couple hours, but it's like not. You're not dreaming. You're just laying there, right? And you're having horrific thoughts. You're drowning. You know what, Fire, all that stuff.
Andrew Santino
You know, that's not normal.

Andrew Santino
And she was like, what the do you want?
Bobby Lee
Yeah, it's not that, Tony. But it could be.
Andrew Santino
Death in a dream may not actually be dying. Instead, it often represents change. The closing of a chapter at the end of life. As you know, it could be. I don't think you're even close to dying.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah.
Producer McCone
I've death dreams a lot. It's not healthy.
Andrew Santino
Who dies in your dream?
Bobby Lee
I'm always close to death.
Producer McCone
I'm all usually on a plane that's.
Bobby Lee
Crashing, but they say that if you really die in a dream, you die in real life. Is that true?
Producer McCone
I don't know.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, Google it. What?
Producer McCone
You wake up Justin.
Bobby Lee
No, no, no. Yeah. But. But you. But if you really die in a dream, that mean you die in real life? That's what I heard.
Andrew Santino
How would we know that?
Bobby Lee
You wouldn't. That's so.
Andrew Santino
Who would know that that's true?
Bobby Lee
What?
Andrew Santino
Dying dream does not mean you die in real life.
Bobby Lee
The common myth.
Andrew Santino
Huge myth.
Bobby Lee
That was a movie. It's a common myth. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I believe in. Dude, I'm a myth guy. Dude, you're a huge I'm a myth guy, dude. You know, I mean, I love fables. I love myths. I mean, I love stor kinds.

Well, long ago. Idiom. From what? Idiom. Idiom.
Andrew Santino
Idiomal.

Bobby Lee
Once he was a farm boy.
Andrew Santino
A farm. Always a farm boy.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
Yeah.
Bobby Lee
In a little island. Indigenous island.
Andrew Santino
He was farming on an island.
Bobby Lee
Indigenous island.
Andrew Santino
So he's farming for indigenous people on an island?
Bobby Lee
He is indigenous.
Andrew Santino
So he's just getting food for himself.
Bobby Lee
I could have said it that way.
Andrew Santino
Yeah.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. So indigenous, right? Not indigenous. Idiom.
Producer McCone
Idiom.
Bobby Lee
Idiom.
Andrew Santino
Are you saying IDI Amin.
Bobby Lee
No, not idiomine. That guy's a bad guy.
Andrew Santino
What did he do?
Bobby Lee
He slaughtered people.
Andrew Santino
How many?
Bobby Lee
I don't know. Millions. Ed. I mean. Yeah.
Producer McCone
I like how.
Bobby Lee
You know what I mean?
Andrew Santino
What?
Producer McCone
I didn't know that was a real person.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. Look up Edi Amin. How many people?
Producer McCone
I thought you made up a name.
Bobby Lee
I didn't go to college. No, Idiom was a. I don't know what's going on today?
Andrew Santino
Oh, he wrote idiom.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
Ed.
Bobby Lee
Edi. Yeah. There he is. Oh, look at him.
Andrew Santino
Good, Ed. I mean.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. How many people did idiom. I mean, kill.
Andrew Santino
Kill count is so funny to type in.500. A half a million. He's good.
Bobby Lee
It's pretty good. Not the best. Not the best. Pol Pot was better.
Andrew Santino
Way better.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. Yeah. Pol Pot was so present while he.
Andrew Santino
Was an eight year ruler of the president of Uganda. He approximately killed. That's a huge gap. 100 grand to 500 grand. 400,000 people is a big gap.
Bobby Lee
But if you do it incrementally, not at one time.
Andrew Santino
Yeah, it's like. It's like. What's his name? Sleeping with all those women. Will Chamberlain.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
It's kind of like if you did it over time. We did the math. It's like seven a day.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
Half a million people do. That's crazy, but for what? Power.
Bobby Lee
It's power.
Andrew Santino
That's what he was doing. He wanted power.
Bobby Lee
I'm so guilt ridden. There's no. I could even do one for power.
Andrew Santino
You couldn't kill one person. There's not one person. You think?
Bobby Lee
It depends on what they did. Let's say I'm, I, I, I'm a, I'm a general of some sort of small country somewhere far away. You're my lieutenant. And you'd ask me, you tell me what happened and I'm going to say if I want them killed or not. Yes, sir. Yes.
Andrew Santino
One of our ends.
Bobby Lee
What's your name?
Andrew Santino
Makta.
Bobby Lee
Makta. What's up, dog? What?
Andrew Santino
What is up?
Bobby Lee
I haven't seen you around a long time.
Andrew Santino
Yeah.
Bobby Lee
How's the family?
Andrew Santino
Very good, sir.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah, Yes. I don't want that. That's your make up something. Oh, make up. Anyway. Anyway, what's the problem?
Andrew Santino
Somebody came to our barracks while we were sleeping.
Bobby Lee
Kill him. Kill them all. His whole line. His family line, right? Uncles, aunts.
Andrew Santino
He was just dropping off food.
Bobby Lee
Doordash. Yeah, yeah, yeah, kill them all. In fact, kill everyone that's doing doordash right now. No, no, it would have to be like they destroyed a village, right? And they, you know, for no reason. Yeah, for no reason or something.
Andrew Santino
Imagine being a soldier and door dashing something while you're like waiting for war.
Bobby Lee
That'd be amazing.
Andrew Santino
And some guy, some Russian guy's like, dosh drops it off, he's like, I have to get a picture of you with it. Why do they always have to get a photo? I was like, I. You handed it to me. And like, he's like, I need photo. The guy dropped off last week dropped off pizza. I like, thanks man. Cuz I saw him at the front gate. Thanks man. And he's like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I was like, what? He's like, I need a picture. And I was like, he's like, a picture of delivery. I was like, oh, okay. So then, then I was like, well, I don't want to be in it. So I put the pizza back out and like closed the door. So it's just my hand holding the pizza for the photo. And I was like, good. He's like, okay. And I took it back inside because I didn't want to be holding the pizza for. In his photo? Yeah. I don't know what they do. They upload that to the app for proof that they dropped it off. And in my neighborhood now there's fucking robots Everywhere.
Bobby Lee
I love them.
Andrew Santino
I hate them. They don't go to your neighborhood.
Bobby Lee
They can't there. They can't get up there. I live in the hills.
Andrew Santino
Yes, he does.
Bobby Lee
But I got a pizza from the.
Andrew Santino
Hills have Slanted Eyes.
Bobby Lee
That'd be a funny movie. That's a horror movie.
Andrew Santino
The Wayans Brothers present the Hills have Slanted Eyes.
Bobby Lee
I got a pizza from Prince and the dude left it on the ground and I was playing video games. I'll get in. 30 minutes. Mistake. Tell me what happened.
Andrew Santino
It got eaten by coyote?
Bobby Lee
No, ants.
Andrew Santino
Oh, yeah, dude.
Bobby Lee
It got in there. Dude. I opened it up, it was just filled with ants.
Andrew Santino
Gross.
Bobby Lee
Oh my God.
Andrew Santino
You waited 30 minutes.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, but I. There's a little table. Did you eat outside my. What? No, I threw it away. There's a little table next to my front door that you put the shit on. Did you just put it on the ground?
Andrew Santino
Oh, yeah.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, it pissed me off.
Andrew Santino
You should say in the app, you can say please leave on table. Yeah, you can put it in the notes. Yeah, I should do that. I give them notes all the time.
Bobby Lee
What are your notes?
Andrew Santino
Don't come near my house. Drop it off on the sidewalk. Pick up the dog in the yard. Yeah, no, I give them notes. If it's like, hey, I'm not gates open, I'm not there. Just drop it off inside the gate. Yeah, cuz a lot of times they like, if they see sometimes I'll have like a delivery and if the gate's not open, they'll just leave. Yeah, I've seen them just like leave. I'm like, wait, wait, wait, where are you going? Yeah, it's the weird. I'm like, just throw it over the fence or whatever it is. Yeah.
Bobby Lee
Do you do priority?
Andrew Santino
Oh, I don't know. That's a scam.
Bobby Lee
What?
Andrew Santino
Dude, I'll do priority. And not to test that theory out, we did this years ago. Yeah, or not years. Whatever. When it first started, we tested was almost the same time. And you just pay five more bucks. It doesn't even make sense.
Bobby Lee
So they don't go to your house first?
Andrew Santino
No, they don't. They do not do that. That's a lie. Because I've done both ways. I don't know, it's been the same. They definitely.
Bobby Lee
You can tell if the food's warm or cold.
Andrew Santino
I feel like it's always cold.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
No matter what I get, it's cold.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Andrew Santino
I don't ever get a warm. And you, you wait 30 minutes, it's always cold. For you.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
I don't think I've.
Bobby Lee
I got something today that was so cold. You know what it was? Ice cream. I'm on fire.
Andrew Santino
You're killing it, right?
Bobby Lee
I'm on fire today.
Andrew Santino
Settle down.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
What kind of ice cream did you get?
Bobby Lee
I like butter pecan, rocky road, mint chip. Those are my top three.
Andrew Santino
That's top three?
Bobby Lee
Yeah. I don't do this new, like, you know, I mean, goat cheese. You know, I mean dandelions and, you know, I mean baklava shavings.
Andrew Santino
So good.
Bobby Lee
You know how they do that? Yeah, it's, like, off.
Andrew Santino
So good.
Bobby Lee
No.
Andrew Santino
Dude, you never had coffee Toenails.
Bobby Lee
I don't do coffee Toenails.
Andrew Santino
One of my favorites. You got to get over to. What is it? Salt and straw. They're the ones that do that.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
Sometimes they'll put one out that. That is genuinely. It's like lavender fart. And you're like, sorry.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah.
Andrew Santino
And they're like, it's. One of our college kids made it this morning.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. It's like they experiment, which is fun.
Andrew Santino
But pear and blue cheese. I had that. It's actually.
Bobby Lee
That's good.
Andrew Santino
The one you're talking about is black olive brittle and goat cheese.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
Get the out.
Bobby Lee
Get the out here.
Andrew Santino
Dude, it's not ice cream. Duck skin.
Bobby Lee
Well, duck skin.
Andrew Santino
Yeah.
Bobby Lee
You think that's good?
Andrew Santino
I mean, it's probably from a Chinese restaurant. For sure.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
Creepy crawler critters.
Producer McCone
This is all salt and straw.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. Which is, you know, probably one of the best ice cream places on planet Earth.
Andrew Santino
It's got. There's a lot.
Bobby Lee
There's a lot more, but I'm more old school.
Andrew Santino
Like, I could just do, like, a Van Leeuwen guy.
Bobby Lee
No, I could just do Baskin Robbins. Dude, you get a Banana Royale, you're out of that. Have you had a Banana Royale?
Andrew Santino
There's so many good new ice cream. Like McConnell's.
Bobby Lee
McCall's is great. McConnell's great.
Andrew Santino
Van Leeuwin.
Bobby Lee
Van Leeuwen's pretty good. Yeah.
Andrew Santino
I mean, these are all better than Baskin Robbins.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. But I can still just do a Banana Royale. Look at that thing.
Andrew Santino
No.
Bobby Lee
Okay.
Andrew Santino
I'm not with Baskin Robbins. Especially now, because you can buy those good ones like Jenny's. You can buy them at the grocery store. Why am I going to Baskin if I can go get better shit at the. At the grocery store for the same price now?
Bobby Lee
Because, Baskin, there's more of them. Like, for instance, if you want to go to Salt and straw. Right. You got. There's three locations, and there's. And there's 30 people, and then there's a huge line. You. I mean, as if they're getting Taylor Swift tickets. You know about that. But my point is. Is this. Yeah, but with Baskin Robbins, there's never anyone. Anyone there. You know? I mean. Yeah. The worst is when there's a gigantic family.
Andrew Santino
That's their slogan. Baskin Robbins. There's never anyone here. Come on in. There's never anyone here. Yeah, there wasn't. There used to be one on Magnolia in Burbank I used to go to. It's literally.
Bobby Lee
So you have been.
Andrew Santino
It's empty.
Bobby Lee
You have been.
Andrew Santino
I had been.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
And I stopped because I was like, this is not good. And the one teenage tweaker that's working there, not in. I didn't like it.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, He.
Andrew Santino
He just. His vibe was weird.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. I hate those energy.
Andrew Santino
The teenage.
Bobby Lee
Those meth vibes.
Andrew Santino
His meth vibes.
Bobby Lee
Dude, what do you want? Like, what the. Dude, I've just got in here experimenting.
Andrew Santino
That's who's there. Yeah, I can't do it, dude. Also, by the way, they don't have 31 flavors anymore. That's also a myth.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, it's not. It's 18. Change it to 18 flavors.
Andrew Santino
They don't even. I don't think they feature 31.
Bobby Lee
I don't believe they don't. They don't.
Andrew Santino
When I'm ever in there, it's always like, 10 flavors. They have 31 flavor at any given. It says about 31. Yeah.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
Because that one that I'm talking about, they never had. They had, like, maybe 10 max. I give them 12 on a good day. This is quality control. That's gone downhill, by the way. This is why they're getting beaten by the other big dogs.
Bobby Lee
Wait, what's. What's the ice cream store? Handles. Have you been to Handles?
Andrew Santino
I don't even think that's right. Handles.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
Handles.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Producer McCone
Sounds Jewish.
Bobby Lee
Oh, oh, oh.
Andrew Santino
Handels.
Bobby Lee
That's how you shut. It's Handel's.
Andrew Santino
It's Jewish. Handel. It's the last name.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. Handel's.
Andrew Santino
Handel.
Bobby Lee
You know why I like that?
Andrew Santino
Howie Mandel.
Bobby Lee
Oh, I see.
Andrew Santino
Handel.
Bobby Lee
Handel. Okay.
Andrew Santino
Yes. Homemade ice cream since 1943. Handel's ice cream. We're also a bank.
Bobby Lee
Handel is really good.
Andrew Santino
I'd like to make a deposit and also get a rocky road to go. It's a bank ice cream store. Handel's Ice Cream. It's kosher, I imagine.
Bobby Lee
What does kosher mean.
Andrew Santino
Huh?
Bobby Lee
What does it mean?
Andrew Santino
Kosher means like the.
Producer McCone
It's blessed.
Andrew Santino
It's. No, but it also means two things. Don't touch. Like 2. Meat and cheeses don't touch. Right. Like, kosher means fit and proper. Refers to according Jewish dietary laws which dictate permissible ingredients, preparation, separations of food like meat and dairy, they cannot touch. Ensuing items are richly pure and fit for consumption. Which is crazy because meat and cheese is, like, my favorite shit on earth.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
At the house, I'll roll up some meat on some cheese, and that's a snack to go.
Bobby Lee
I love that.
Andrew Santino
My. One of my faves. Not kosher. Oh, pig is not kosher. Right. What else is that?
Bobby Lee
A falcon. What is that?
Andrew Santino
All scavenger. All scavenger. And predatory birds are not kosher.
Bobby Lee
Like, you can't have eagle.
Andrew Santino
Should. Shouldn't.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Very good.
Andrew Santino
I think it's so good.
Bobby Lee
So hard to catch. But you know. You know how hard it is to get those eagles. Oh, my God.
Andrew Santino
Okay. And then if something doesn't have both fins and scales. Oh, so you can be crustaceans, mollusks.
Bobby Lee
What about platypus? There's a lot going on there.
Andrew Santino
Can't do it. Yeah.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, you can't. Why?
Andrew Santino
Can't do it.
Bobby Lee
Okay. You can't.
Andrew Santino
Kosher.
Bobby Lee
All right.
Andrew Santino
Meat and dairy together, and then loin, sirloin, rump, flank and heel steak. So anything behind? So they can't have the back half of the cow. They can only have chuck, rib, shoulder and plate.

Squeeze is such a good band, isn't it really though?
Andrew Santino
Yeah, yeah, it's one of those bands that's underrated. I Think so.
Bobby Lee
Good.
Andrew Santino
People don't. People don't really know Squeeze is such a good band. Oh, dude, I heard a song yesterday I was going to text you.
Bobby Lee
Which is it?
Andrew Santino
Because I was like, you know how sometimes you don't hear a lyric, you heard it for years, but then you don't think anything of it and you hear it again and you're like, that's what the. They were saying. Yeah, like you know what they're saying. But it's a song where he says. He says, and.
Bobby Lee
I've never seen you do that before. That was scary. Something happened.
Andrew Santino
No, but you know, it's like. But get behind the wheel.
Bobby Lee
Who does that?
Andrew Santino
Dude.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. It's like a chess master would do that. If they lost, they go check them out. And you go.
Andrew Santino
I can't think of the name of the song I was thinking of too. And it goes, get behind the wheel of a thing. And it's like after you're drinking, you're talking about drinking. Then after you. After you. Then you get behind the wheel and crash into a something. And it's this. And that's not what the song is about.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
I'm so bummed that I can't think of that.
Bobby Lee
You know what song that you got me stuck on. And I mad that you influenced me in this way.
Andrew Santino
What? Oh, let's Black Eyed Peas. Let's get it started.
Bobby Lee
No, no. Oh, guess what it is. Guess what it is.
Andrew Santino
What song did I get you stuck on? Oh, I'm thinking what I just recently gave you.
Bobby Lee
I'll give you the gist of it.
Andrew Santino
Yeah.
Bobby Lee
What? That's not it.
Andrew Santino
That Bill Nye song is so good. Wait, play this real fast. This makes me laugh. So this. Pause it. They can't say bill, so they say beer, beer, beer. It's the funniest. Gi Shin Kong Shin Chow. The Chinese. They're so fun.
Bobby Lee
So great.
Andrew Santino
Look, you guys are great filmmakers, but you don't do fun like that. Yeah, that's fun.
Producer McCone
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
When you say you beer.
Bobby Lee
When you say you guys, what the do you mean?
Andrew Santino
Dude, Koreans. You Korea. I just said you guys make great film, but you don't do goofball.
Bobby Lee
I can say beer, beer, beer, beer.
Andrew Santino
But this is what the Japanese and the Chinese do the best.
Bobby Lee
I'll tell you the song.
Andrew Santino
Weirdo stuff. Oh, give me a hint.
Bobby Lee
All right. It's about. It's about a guy who's in a different country and he needs something from his dad. He's in trouble.
Andrew Santino
Lawyers, guns and money.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. Every day I Listen, that song, it's.
Andrew Santino
Such a good dude.
Bobby Lee
That song. Warren Savant. Lawyers, Guns and Money. I listen to it every day because of you.
Andrew Santino
Send Lawyers, Guns and Money. This has hit the fan.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. Another one is the werewolf song I like, too.
Andrew Santino
Oh, Werewolves of London.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. Yeah.
Andrew Santino
Oh, that kind of sounds like your stuff. Hi, Gi Shink. Culture. Beer, beer, beer, beer, beer, beer warns Yvonne. That album will get you. It's not Relatable Boy. Why can't I think of the excitable boy?
Producer McCone
Sorry.
Andrew Santino
Oh, so.
Bobby Lee
What a talent. It's funny. It's like you discover things like, you know, I'm a music guy. Yeah. But it just. I never was introduced to him until I met you.
Andrew Santino
It's so funny. This is exactly something you would love.
Bobby Lee
I know. I like. I can't believe it. Like, I. You know, when I listen to it now, I'm like. It's so interesting because maybe, you know, another band that was like that with me is Joy Division.
Andrew Santino
Oh, I love Joy Division.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. I saw. I didn't like Joy Division until I saw 24 Hour Party People. You ever see that movie? It's about the Manchester music scene and Joy Division's in it. There's. There's like a club scene where Joy Division is playing and you're going, what is this?
Andrew Santino
And they're playing in the movie as themselves.
Bobby Lee
No, they're not in the movie. They're actors playing Joy Division. And the guy does such a good job at portraying Ian McKay. Ian Curtis eating Ian Curtis. And I'm like, holy, who is this? And then I Google it. It was like, oh, it's Joy Division. And then I just became obsessed. But it just never was something that, when I initially heard it, you know, it didn't land. It didn't land with me.
Andrew Santino
And so Steve Coogan is so talented, by the way. It's like one of the. One of the funniest, smartest dudes. I think it's so funny how, like, American culture doesn't really know Steve Coogan.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
I would. You'd argue most Americans don't know who that is. Right?
Producer McCone
Damien Cockburn.
Andrew Santino
Yeah. Mr. Cockburn.
Producer McCone
You see these.
Andrew Santino
The trips are great.
Bobby Lee
Love.
Andrew Santino
That's why Americans might know them because of the trips. But I just think they're so popular in. In England and not as much here. Yeah, but those movies are so good. The original trip is the best.
Bobby Lee
What is it?
Andrew Santino
It's just like. It's them two. It's literally like a kind of like a loose. It's like a loose Concept film about these two. It feels docu style, but it's not. But it is.
Producer McCone
Heightened versions of themselves.
Andrew Santino
They're in Hollywood still like, it's them, but it's not. It's. It's very brilliant. And it's just two best friends on vacation. Then they just get themselves into some other movies.
Producer McCone
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
Yeah. There's a series.
Bobby Lee
Are they good?
Andrew Santino
They're fantastic.
Bobby Lee
They're funny.
Andrew Santino
We should do that.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, we should. We should do that.
Andrew Santino
We should do our version of the trip.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. I went to a Christmas party last night.
Andrew Santino
Who? Who?
Bobby Lee
Arden Marin.
Andrew Santino
Oh, I know. I heard. You told me this.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
But it was her and Bert.
Bobby Lee
Bert was there? Yeah, it was her party, but Bert was there.
Andrew Santino
At her house.
Bobby Lee
At her house. And I ran into one of my favorite people of all time.
Andrew Santino
Oh, wait, hold on, hold on, hold on. Let me guess.
Bobby Lee
MH is his initials.
Andrew Santino
Kevin Spacey.
Bobby Lee
Mh.
Andrew Santino
Man, there's a lot of young boys here.
Bobby Lee
Michael Hitchcock.
Andrew Santino
I don't know who that is.
Bobby Lee
You ever see Best in Show Love?
Andrew Santino
Best in Show.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
Oh, yeah. He's great.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. Hitchhi was there.
Andrew Santino
So he was there at Arden's house. How was the. How was the party?
Bobby Lee
I was there for five minutes.
Andrew Santino
So it was a good party.
Bobby Lee
I do, like a five minute. Whenever she has a party, I do five minutes. I'll do around, hug, and then leave.
Andrew Santino
Why? Why go then?
Bobby Lee
Because I show. Because my therapist. Because, you know, you know, I'm a loner.
Andrew Santino
Yeah.
Bobby Lee
And I don't leave the house.
Andrew Santino
Yeah.
Bobby Lee
So my therapist is like, you gotta just try to participate. So I try to participate.
Andrew Santino
Yeah. But I. See, I disagree. You're 54 years old at this point. Don't do anything. You don't.
Bobby Lee
I know, but if you look at my mom, that's where I'm headed.
Andrew Santino
She looks great.
Bobby Lee
I know she looks great, but she doesn't like leaving the house. And she only plays iPad games.
Andrew Santino
What's wrong with it?
Bobby Lee
There's nothing wrong with it, but it's like, you know, I want to be able to. You know, how do you. You got to be social. That's a part of the human condition.
Andrew Santino
No, it's not. No. You already did it.
Bobby Lee
Oh, I did?
Andrew Santino
For 54 years you've did it. Oh, you paid all your dues. You don't owe anybody. You can go or don't go.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, I'm just. I think I'm like my mom.
Andrew Santino
It's great. Yeah. She looks happy and healthy. But by the way, she got frustrated because she logged out of YouTube. That was like a huge debacle. Oh, yeah. She was like, YouTube. YouTube.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
And you're like, mom, we'll do it. And she's like, now you're like, we're doing the podcast.
Bobby Lee
That's another thing that I have. I want it now.
Andrew Santino
Yeah.
Bobby Lee
If you wanted YouTube now, that is. I want mine.
Andrew Santino
That's exactly how you are.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do it now. Do it now.
Andrew Santino
You want it right now?
Bobby Lee
I want it right now. Yeah, yeah.
Andrew Santino
But. But you're not a guy that if you say you're going to do it, doesn't mean you're going to do it now.
Bobby Lee
What do you mean?
Andrew Santino
You want things done right now. Yeah, but if you say you're going to do something, doesn't mean you. You're going to.
Bobby Lee
Oh, I don't do it now, right? Yeah, yeah. No, you have to do it now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I do it when I want to do it. Yeah, yeah.
Andrew Santino
I'm that guy. I make up my mind and I'm gonna do something. I just do it. And.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
Even if it's like. Even it's. It's chunking time out of something else, if I really want to do it, I'm gonna do it. I don't give a shit.
Bobby Lee
I was like that with tennis rackets and ice skates. What, not enough? What?
Producer McCone
Not enough?
Bobby Lee
No. The other day I was like, I need tennis rackets. I went and did it. I woke up and I'm getting tennis rackets.
Andrew Santino
See, I like that.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. Yeah.
Andrew Santino
I like.
Bobby Lee
I want ice skates.
Andrew Santino
Ice skates.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
Right? Yeah, I'm gonna do it. I'm.
Bobby Lee
And they just stay in my closet for like.
Andrew Santino
But you got them?
Bobby Lee
I got them.
Andrew Santino
Just in case we need to skate.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. Because I've had a lot of people go, you want to play tennis? I go, I gotta get rackets.
Andrew Santino
Who, Kirk? Yeah.
Bobby Lee
Other people. Just people. Just random people. You want to play tennis? I don't play tennis with you.
Andrew Santino
But you don't.
Bobby Lee
Because I didn't have any rackets. Now I have.
Andrew Santino
Now. You got how many rackets?
Bobby Lee
Just two prints. Red ones.
Andrew Santino
Two print. So you bought two rackets even though you need one?
Bobby Lee
I always have two over prepared. No.
Andrew Santino
In case you break one.
Bobby Lee
I hit so hard. Dude. I was on the tennis team in high school. I told you that. I got those red ones right there.
Andrew Santino
Tell me your. Your. What was the food at Arden's house?
Bobby Lee
Tacos.
Andrew Santino
A taco truck?
Bobby Lee
No, just tacos in the house.
Andrew Santino
Who's got. Who made tacos? In the house.
Bobby Lee
So I was there with Andrea. Jen, she came too. Yeah. And she started eating the tacos. And I. You never. I. I don't know about you. You probably do it here. Here. Here's what I like about your parties versus other parties.
Andrew Santino
Sure.
Bobby Lee
Okay. So at your parties, you have a dude making it.
Andrew Santino
Correct.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. Right?
Andrew Santino
Yeah.
Bobby Lee
Like, I've been to Carlos Mena's house at. For his parties. He has a guy.
Andrew Santino
You pay for someone to make the.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah. So he's.
Andrew Santino
Then you can enjoy the party.
Bobby Lee
You know, whatever. The.
Andrew Santino
Beer.
Bobby Lee
Beer, beer. Right, right. So. But then you go to some houses, and there. It's just there, sitting in a cylinder.
Andrew Santino
Like it was ordered or they made it earlier.
Bobby Lee
I don't know how it came about. I don't know how it manifests itself.
Andrew Santino
You don't like it either way.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, but I need to see it made, huh. On the spot.
Andrew Santino
I understand what you're saying.
Bobby Lee
So if it's sitting there, who knows? It could have been there yesterday.
Andrew Santino
They had. Do you know you had two parties? You got day two party.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. So then Andrea took. Ate a hot. A taco, and I was like, I wouldn't eat that. She goes, you're weird. And then 30 minutes later, she goes, my tummy hurts.
Andrew Santino
See?
Bobby Lee
Yeah. See?
Andrew Santino
See, that's.
Bobby Lee
You just see the guy make it?
Andrew Santino
Well, that's like when we went to Tim's. Tim. When Tim had his house here, and he had. When Dylan had his Christmas parties, he would literally have a staff of 10 people cooking.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
He had someone fucking. He had just a baker to make desserts.
Producer McCone
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
He hired someone to bake just as a pastry chef. Is. I'm dumb? I can't say a pastry chef just for desserts. And then four chefs. Yep. Regular chefs.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
And they were doing the. Yes, chef. I heard the sous chef being like, do you know. Yes, Chef. Right here, Chef.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
I was like, this is a kitchen. He's. He brought the bear to his fucking house.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. You know what else I like?
Andrew Santino
He's extravagant, dude.
Bobby Lee
He's an extravagant guy.
Andrew Santino
He is.
Producer McCone
Yeah.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. I also like places where it looks like a lab at a restaurant. For instance, you're at Ding Tai Fung, right? And there's a gigantic open window. And you see they're all in white with masks.
Andrew Santino
Yeah.
Bobby Lee
And they're folding the dumplings.
Andrew Santino
Oh, I love it.
Bobby Lee
You see them making the tortillas?
Andrew Santino
Homestay. They make them. They make them there.
Bobby Lee
They make it right in front of you. Right. So that. I like that Right there. Yeah.
Andrew Santino
No, that's like.
Bobby Lee
It's a lab.
Andrew Santino
That's the Wuhan lab. Exactly.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Andrew Santino
Bringing up the Wuhan lab.
Bobby Lee
No, they're making dumplings and Covid.
Andrew Santino
Well, that's where they put Covid.
Bobby Lee
They're Asians. They have work ethic.
Andrew Santino
Right.
Bobby Lee
They can do two things at once.
Andrew Santino
One guy up, he's like, oh, we're supposed to make Kobe today.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
Wasted all of his time making dumplings.
Bobby Lee
But don't you.
Andrew Santino
You.
Bobby Lee
You like ding tai fung?
Andrew Santino
Here's what I like about this. Yeah, I can see them putting in the work.
Bobby Lee
That's right.
Andrew Santino
Like, did you see that video? The guy. That restaurant here in Southern California, they got in trouble. They got closed down. Cuz he was breaking up frozen ribs in the back of the restaurant.
Bobby Lee
I saw that. I saw that on the ground. That's so gross. Have you seen that? It was so gross.
Andrew Santino
Big frozen slab of ribs and he's.
Bobby Lee
Slamming it on the ground.
Andrew Santino
Dude. It was one of the funniest things I think I've ever seen. And then, then the. Yeah, that's him out back. Look at that. Play that video. He's behind the restaurant and he's just throwing the ribs on the ground. This is someone, like, from their apartment. Look at this. Hey. Just trying to break him up a little bit.
Bobby Lee
Whoa. On a box. Yeah.
Producer McCone
Put the cardboard down.
Andrew Santino
Look at it. Falls on the ground three or four times. Yeah, it's all just fall on the ground. Look at that. Gross. Now here's my argument for this guy.
Bobby Lee
You're defending him.
Andrew Santino
He's Asian for a second.
Bobby Lee
Okay, well, yeah, he's not Asian.
Andrew Santino
Yes, he is.
Bobby Lee
No, he's not.
Andrew Santino
The way he's throwing is push pause. When it zooms in, you zoom in. No, let them do it here. She'll zoom in a little bit there. That's 100. An Asian guy.
Bobby Lee
I guess so there's.
Andrew Santino
There's literally no doubt about.
Bobby Lee
I think you're right.
Andrew Santino
The way he throws is Asian.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah, yeah. How do Asians throw?
Andrew Santino
Oh, you can hear it. No, but listen here. Faux love. It was called faux love. And let me tell you why I'm defending him for a heartbeat. Permanently closed. That sucks. Here's my only semi defense. They're frozen. Nothing is sticking to frozen. No, you could literally dip that in trash, take it out, blow it off. It's nothing. It's frozen solid. Then when you cook it, you're cooking away. Whatever would be.
Bobby Lee
You can also wash it 100%.
Andrew Santino
It's frozen.
Bobby Lee
I think you're right.
Andrew Santino
It's frozen.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
And by the way, I don't think.
Bobby Lee
The optics is good, though.
Andrew Santino
No, no, it's bad also. How much. How much other shit do they do that with? Right. Like, like. And look at. There's a mop bucket right next to him. It's fucking gross. Yeah, but this is the thing. As Americans, we're spoiled rotten. This happens all over the fucking world, and they don't think twice.
Bobby Lee
I think you're right. I think the reason why I like the lab atmosphere, right, is you're. You have assurance.
Andrew Santino
You're assured.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. I mean, you look in Ding Taifong and you're like, okay, he's not throwing that dumpling on the ground.
Andrew Santino
Right?
Bobby Lee
And then some places when you don't. You don't know what goes. Like, I believe that, like, I think that, like, if you go to talk about some things, something. They spit in the stuff.
Andrew Santino
I don't believe that.
Bobby Lee
You don't know.
Andrew Santino
I don't think so. Because I worked at McDonald's. I worked at fast food.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
We never did that.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, you. Because you're a good guy.
Andrew Santino
No, no, but I didn't. Okay. There were some other friends of mine that were there that were up to no goodies. Yeah, they never did like that. You know what you would do instead? Because if you got caught doing that, dude, that's also against the law. You can. You could go to jail for that. Right? Spitting at someone food.
Bobby Lee
That's how easy it is to spit without anyone seeing.
Andrew Santino
It's a biohazard, though.
Bobby Lee
Okay.
Andrew Santino
That's bad. No guys would do like that. They would up their order on purpose. Ah, that happens all the time. Yeah, they'd be like this. And so they give them, like, one less nugget.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. Okay.
Andrew Santino
That's like such a good. Because, by the way, you get the bag and most of us, you go for fries on the ride home. Unless you're really hungry, you're probably not gonna eat the nuggets until you get home and you open it up and see 5 instead of 6. Pissed. It's a perfect.
Bobby Lee
You're mad about that.
Andrew Santino
I'd be pissed. I want six. If I order six, I want six.
Bobby Lee
What if there's seven? Are you extra happy?
Andrew Santino
That's amazing. Are you not extra happy when an extra nugget falls in there?
Bobby Lee
You know what I don't like when a random thing that's in the nugget box, like one fry. I love that. No, I don't like that.
Andrew Santino
I Don't give me a rogue onion ring all day long.
Bobby Lee
I don't want a rogue one.
Andrew Santino
Love it.
Bobby Lee
No.
Andrew Santino
What is he doing in there? He's on an adventure.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Andrew Santino
No, he's like, I got free.
Bobby Lee
I'm like, stay with your kind, all right. Oh, whoa.
Andrew Santino
Yes.
Bobby Lee
Stay with your kind. Onion rings. Just to hang out with onion rings. All right. If you come over to, you know, I mean, French Fry Land, right? I'm calling ice.
Andrew Santino
It's Big Seg. That's. We should open up a fast food place called segregation.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Producer McCone
Separate but equal.
Andrew Santino
Yeah, yeah, but they're not.
Bobby Lee
So you like that?
Andrew Santino
Yeah. Onion rings belong with onion rings.
Bobby Lee
All right, what about this?
Andrew Santino
You think I'm gonna let my onion ring date your French fry ass daughter? Yeah, bullshit. Ass. French fry ass daughter.
Bobby Lee
What if you open your. A nugget box and there's something in there that's not even on the menu?
Andrew Santino
What is it?
Bobby Lee
What?
Andrew Santino
What is it?
Bobby Lee
Like, like, like, you know, like a sauteed duck.
Andrew Santino
Oh, my God, how good.
Bobby Lee
No, but you're a Taco Bell.
Andrew Santino
I know. It's a new menu item.
Bobby Lee
Okay, Then it's something that's like, why would it be there?
Andrew Santino
Like an egg roll.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, like an egg roll. Yeah, you're right. You're at. You go to McDonald's fries, you open it and there's an egg roll in there.
Andrew Santino
Bonus. Bonus egg roll.
Bobby Lee
But where did it come from?
Andrew Santino
Who cares?
Bobby Lee
Is it the same thing as you're talking about? Like, I'm going for a ride. Yeah. Imagine that. Adventure.
Andrew Santino
Right?
Bobby Lee
I took a door dash ride through McDonald's.
Andrew Santino
Okay.
Bobby Lee
I hop out, I jump into the.
Andrew Santino
This does happen. Cuz they have KFC Taco Bell combo.
Bobby Lee
Places now that I can see.
Andrew Santino
Okay, so that does happen. And I'd be okay with that.
Bobby Lee
I. Yeah, don't hit your ride.
Andrew Santino
Don't.
Bobby Lee
We're different in that way.
Andrew Santino
I understand.
Bobby Lee
Okay. Yeah.
Andrew Santino
If it's fast food and it's fried, who cares how it got in there? I'll take it.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
Yeah. We used to with people in that ride, but we'd steal from that McDonald's. That's why my buddies got fired. Yeah, My buddy Chris. Because if our friends came, we'd give them as much stuff as we could. Yeah, it was hard to steal money. You could. We'd steal food, but sometimes you steal money. Sometimes you wouldn't put in a late order. If it was super late and they're in the window, you wouldn't punch it in. You would be like, yeah, yeah, I'll do it. And then you'd make up the number of what you think It'd be like 475. And then you would just go get the item and not ring it up.
Bobby Lee
Ooh, they used to do that at a comedy club. I know.
Andrew Santino
Seriously? Oh, yeah.
Bobby Lee
Where they had an old system. And then the waitresses, they could like charge somebody and then void it easily.
Andrew Santino
Oh, the voiding.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah. And then just take all the cash.
Andrew Santino
See, the voting is tough because it still shows up in the system. See, I've worked in restaurants. I know that system well. Yeah, because you get the manager. But can you void that drink out that no one wanted it, but then you give your buddy that drink. Okay, I've done that. But they're still traceable. With McDonald's, you would take the order but not take it down. Just go back to the kitchen and be like, can I get a double, double to go? And then they'll, you know, they slide you that double quarter pounder.
Bobby Lee
So the matter, they don't count the patties. What I mean by that is it's a box of.
Andrew Santino
You should see McDonald's gets a box of like 700 frozen patties.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, but if I was. I'm Asian.
Andrew Santino
One, two.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, I'm counting.
Andrew Santino
I'm gonna do it all day.

Bobby Lee
You're busy as like fries is one thing. That's insane. You mean you better count. We have 42,695 fries today. You know what I mean? You better not steal. That's crazy.
Andrew Santino
Here's why it doesn't matter. Because at McDonald's, if you ever work in fast food, so much stuff ends up on the floor on accident.
Producer McCone
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
Fries, a nugget patty. This happens because when you're. When people are moving.
Bobby Lee
Right? Right.
Andrew Santino
Shit.
Bobby Lee
Spill. Corrected. I stand corrected.
Andrew Santino
You know. You know my favorite shit was when we'd have to replace the Coke bag. So. Because It's a perfect. McDonald's has like the perfect mixture of Coca Cola.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
That's why it's the best Coca Cola in the fucking world. Other than Mexican Coke in a bottle. But to go Coke is Max. Is McDonald's. Because their. Their syrup mixture is, like, perfectly measured, but it's so dense and sweet that you, like, hook up the sugar bag, the. The syrup bag, and it's got the. Then the carbonation and the. The soda water. Sometimes it would leak out of the top, like the plastic top. And I suck on that.
Bobby Lee
I know that.
Andrew Santino
Oh, my God, it's so good, dude.
Bobby Lee
I like that.
Andrew Santino
That's it. You can feel your teeth falling out.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah.
Andrew Santino
It's got to be like a thousand grams of sugar per, like, because it's. It's condensed. Yeah, it's so. Fuck, those are so good, dude. And the smell of those when you crack it open. Now these. Dude, I loved working at McDonald's. It was the best first job I ever had. I was 15. It was awesome. And I fed all my friends. I got paid good money.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
Like, I. I got paid like a minimum wage. But it was like, good when you could still like. Yeah, look at that. Smoking a joint of McDonald's Coke.
Bobby Lee
Hey, yo, did they drug test there?
Producer McCone
No.
Andrew Santino
I mean, this was a long time ago. They might now. I don't think they. No, they didn't drug test us because everyone we was there was on drugs.
Bobby Lee
Now would you feel safer when androids take over, like robot? Like if. Like. Because when you go to a McDonald's, eventually it's gonna be no humans working there.
Andrew Santino
That's fucking a bummer. Well, even now, I went to a McDonald's. Where were we? And you have to order through the fucking. You guys see the Tesla?
Bobby Lee
The Tesla diner in Hollywood? All. All robotized.
Andrew Santino
Let's. Let's burn it. Let's go burn it down. Is it just made out of cyber trucks?
Bobby Lee
That's it.
Andrew Santino
Fuck that place. Fuck him. Fuck that whole place. Stupid.
Bobby Lee
But that's the future guy.
Andrew Santino
No, there will still be a need for human.
Bobby Lee
I don't know.
Andrew Santino
No, we will. We'll want that.
Bobby Lee
Look at that influencer.
Andrew Santino
Hey, guys. I'm here with my tits and this robot.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
Oh, my God, he's making me popcorn.
Bobby Lee
The Korea Daily, of course. So funny. What's so funny about that? We happy.
Producer McCone
We made it all the way there. In their news. It's pretty cool.
Andrew Santino
We go deep. Do you really think that that's good you're there? You. That's. I think that people are still going to want people to run a thing.
Bobby Lee
I don't know. I like. I like the niche. Niche of it.
Andrew Santino
The niche of the future.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
Well, it's going to be everywhere. So the niche would be humans making food still.
Bobby Lee
But right now when I see a wegovy, I get excited. Then eventually you get excited.
Andrew Santino
Talking about way more.
Bobby Lee
You do get excited. Way more. I mean way more.
Andrew Santino
Way more. Suck.
Bobby Lee
Dude. They're the best.
Andrew Santino
They stopped and it's. It stopped in front of us in the hotel when. Remember that? And it couldn't get by us.
Bobby Lee
I know. Olympics are better.
Andrew Santino
Wayo suck. You don't like that? That I love it. No. Remember what the guy said to us in the car when he was like waymos are. Because what if you get into an accident? Something happens, the doors lock. You know, you can't get out of those things until you're at your destination. You couldn't just get out if you needed to in an emergency, like poo anything. You'd have to poo in the Waymo.
Bobby Lee
Oh my God.
Andrew Santino
Waymo with toilet.
Bobby Lee
Wow.
Andrew Santino
Come on up to the front if you have to.
Bobby Lee
But it doesn't blow your mind when you see a way.
Andrew Santino
But like it pisses me off.
Bobby Lee
Too slow, Bob.
Andrew Santino
They suck.
Bobby Lee
I know, but it's just being backed. It's just so weird when you look at the driver's seat. There's no one in there.
Andrew Santino
Okay, let me give for someone like you. I'm going to prove why you. You don't need, you don't want. Wh in the future if it's all wh and they're all self driving and no one gets to drive, then you have. Then everything is going to be on time. And you like that things aren't on time. You enjoy the fact that there's leeway and there's wiggle room. I like that about you.
Bobby Lee
Screw we go.
Andrew Santino
I just.
Bobby Lee
I like human error too.
Andrew Santino
Human error.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah.
Andrew Santino
Human error.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, human error. That's where the magic happens.
Andrew Santino
The ribs on the ground.
Bobby Lee
Right. That's where the magic happens. Yeah, yeah.
Andrew Santino
That stores closed down permanently. Faux love.
Bobby Lee
There's a nail in my breadstick. I love that.
Andrew Santino
It's fun story.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You eat it anyway.
Andrew Santino
Think about that. The news is not going to have anything to talk about if everything is automated.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
How boring. How boring. There is no chaos anymore.
Bobby Lee
I want the chaos.
Andrew Santino
We love chaos. Anarchy, bro. That we do need. We need fucked up stories. We need wild to go down.
Bobby Lee
That's why when you if you married an Android, there's no human error there. There's no excitement.
Andrew Santino
It does anything you need it to do.
Bobby Lee
Exactly.
Andrew Santino
There's no fights and what's an argument? You want some art? You need some combative. We love drama. Think about a tv.
Bobby Lee
I want to watch Pride and Prejudice tonight, right? And you know that argument. Yeah. No. Come on, let's watch Casino. No. Last night was your movie night, Right? Tonight, Pride and Prejudice.
Andrew Santino
I know. I hate Pride and Prejudice.
Bobby Lee
Did you watch it?
Andrew Santino
Pride and Prejudice? Yeah, I've seen it. Years ago.
Bobby Lee
God, it's so crazy, because every girl that I know, like, gets angry that I haven't seen it.
Andrew Santino
You haven't seen Pride?
Bobby Lee
I don't even know what it is. There's a million versions, too. Yeah. Yeah. But they go, you haven't seen. It's a masterpiece. And I'm like, you just said that about the Notebook.
Andrew Santino
Oh, that was.
Bobby Lee
You think it's a masterpiece?
Andrew Santino
Can I tell you something?
Bobby Lee
What?
Andrew Santino
Never saw it.
Bobby Lee
See, that's what I'm saying. That's.
Andrew Santino
I never saw the Notebook.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
There's films that I know. I. You know what's so funny? Like, I never saw Brokeback Mountain, but I got the gist. So I never saw. There's movies that I just never saw.
Bobby Lee
I got the jizz, too. Yeah.
Andrew Santino
I got the jizz.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
I got the jizz.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. You know what? Can I be honest with you?
Andrew Santino
It's funny. I didn't see Brokeback Mountain, but I did see Moonlight.
Bobby Lee
I love moonlight.
Andrew Santino
It's just black. It's just black. Broke Back Mountain.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. Yeah.
Andrew Santino
Black Back Mountain?
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
Broke Black Mountain?
Bobby Lee
Yeah. I've never seen.
Andrew Santino
It's just. I'm not interested in seeing.
Bobby Lee
I want to see it, though, because I heard it's really good.
Producer McCone
We should all go see it.
Andrew Santino
Doubt it.
Bobby Lee
You've seen it.
Producer McCone
No. It's amazing.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. Yeah. Wait, why haven't you seen it?
Producer McCone
Just one of those.
Bobby Lee
I did.
Producer McCone
I realized I didn't even see the second Kill Bill till today.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
These guys.
Bobby Lee
Oh, really?
Andrew Santino
Kill Bill without us today.
Bobby Lee
You know what movie I'm trying to watch right now? It's hard to get through. I don't know why. Barry Lyndon.
Producer McCone
Oh, it's so good.
Bobby Lee
I know it's beautifully shot, but I can't get into it. Look at a Chinese. Look at wearing a cowboy hat.
Andrew Santino
I like Chinese cowboys once.
Bobby Lee
When have you seen them?
Andrew Santino
There's so many Chinese cowboys. You don't know that. There's a documentary about Chinese cowboys in China. Look, there's an Untold America about Chinese cowboys. You've never seen this?
Producer McCone
No.
Andrew Santino
It's amazing.
Bobby Lee
Oh, let's go to the historical photo. Zoom in. Look at that dude.
Andrew Santino
Giddy up, doggy.
Producer McCone
He's doing white eyes like you.
Andrew Santino
Yeah, he is doing white eyes on the right. Yeah, ride to them. A cowboy?
Bobby Lee
No, he just got an order he didn't want to do. Hey, man, you're gonna take that piece of dynamite going that hole, light it up.
Andrew Santino
What? Wait, this.
Bobby Lee
Look at that.
Andrew Santino
That's Shen Yun. Yeah, that's just genuine backstage.
Bobby Lee
Is that. Is that in America?
Producer McCone
Yeah, but it's in 1888.
Bobby Lee
Wow. There were Asians back then.
Andrew Santino
The good old days.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, but I'm sure they were like, I want to go back home now.
Andrew Santino
This is your home now, pal.
Bobby Lee
But do you think they were one.
Andrew Santino
Day miserable back then and one day your great, great grandson's gonna open up a Thai food joint?
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
San Jose. And it will get closed down because of health code violations.
Bobby Lee
You know how I know it was bad for them? When you watch Tombstone, Deadwood, any of those things. There's only one guy.
Andrew Santino
One's if that one's enough, you know, I mean, but.
Bobby Lee
So where are the other people?
Andrew Santino
I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, you got one. I watched Goonies again. You know, I watched Goonies on the plane the other day.
Bobby Lee
It's a good movie.
Andrew Santino
It's a flawless movie.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, it's perfect.
Andrew Santino
It's exactly what a movie should be. It's an adventure. I watched back to back with Sandlot. I went sandlot Goonies. And I was like, this is perfect. These are just kids going on an adventure. That was. Movies at that era was just like, put them in a weird situation, have them go on a whimsical adventure. You go along for the ride, whether or not it's realistic, it doesn't matter. And a lovely.
Bobby Lee
I can't watch Sandlot. Why? Because my ex girlfriend is married to the star of Sandlot.
Andrew Santino
I think about it, the star is a vague. That's a vague term because there's a lot of stars in that.
Bobby Lee
Okay. Scotty Smalls, the other guy, the chubby.
Andrew Santino
Guy, the redheaded guy.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
Really?
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
Of. Of. What's your name? Porter. What's wrong with me?
Producer McCone
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
Ham Porter.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
Hamilton.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
Pat. Pat Rena.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. Go to Pat Rena. Right. Do you know why? It bums me out. And nothing against him. I'm sure he's a great guy. Okay.
Andrew Santino
Yeah.
Bobby Lee
That's hot. Yeah.
Producer McCone
Money.
Andrew Santino
Who is that?
Bobby Lee
Jasmine, my ex girlfriend.
Andrew Santino
How long ago?
Bobby Lee
Many, many years ago. And when she. I was the. She was. He was the next guy she dated. And in my Head. I was like, oh, I'm him, you know? I mean, I'm like the Asian version of him.
Andrew Santino
You think so?
Bobby Lee
Yeah, I think I am.
Andrew Santino
He's got that sandlot money.
Bobby Lee
I know.
Andrew Santino
Well, I thought you meant you were him for a second. About. About, like. What's that? Isn't there a movie? Is it Ryan Reynolds or someone? Like, he's the guy that the girl. After the girl sleeps with him, they. They get married and settle down. What's that movie?
Producer McCone
It's with Dane Cook.
Andrew Santino
Oh, right.
Producer McCone
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
Yeah, it is. Dane Cook. The la. What is it called?
Bobby Lee
She's very pretty, huh? Jasmine.
Andrew Santino
Yeah.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. Look at their family. Go to the family.
Andrew Santino
That could have been you.
Bobby Lee
I know so many. So many of my ex girlfriends have kids now and are happy. They're just super happy. You prepare them for happiness, which is good. Oh, you think? You think I was there? Like the. The dirt dark. I can't even speak English. The dark chapter. No, the preparing for happiness dark chapter.
Andrew Santino
Is that. Was it my best friend's girl?
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
Yeah. So he would hire him to try to bone her in order for her to fall back in love with him.
Producer McCone
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
Because. Yeah, Twisted Dane was on fire back then. That's. He was starring in movies, man. It's crazy. It's awesome.
Bobby Lee
Love him. Anyway.
Andrew Santino
Yeah, look. Yeah, she's happy, you're happy.
Bobby Lee
I don't know sometimes.
Andrew Santino
Like, what do you want? You want a family? Do you really want a family?
Producer McCone
No, he doesn't.
Bobby Lee
Yes, I do.
Andrew Santino
Yeah, he might.
Producer McCone
He would have had one already.
Andrew Santino
He can still have one.
Bobby Lee
I think I regret some things.
Andrew Santino
You got plenty of time.
Bobby Lee
Like the airport. I was at the airport, lax. And I would. Every time I tell you the story, I was at lax.
Producer McCone
What, you write another note to a girl?
Bobby Lee
No, no, no, I was.
Andrew Santino
Did you hop off the planet LAX with a dream and a cardigan?
Bobby Lee
No, no. What?
Producer McCone
Sorry.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, I was haggard. I just done a weekend at some club and I was at LAX and I was tired and haggard and I have like my backpack. I'm walking through lax. In the distance I see this beautiful girl with a young husband and their kid and they're just laughing and I realize it's my ex girlfriend. And I run into them and she was like, oh, and we hugged.
Andrew Santino
Which one? Not that.
Bobby Lee
Not that one. No, it's a different. See, that's what I'm saying. I keep running into happiness and.
Andrew Santino
What? How did the conversation go?
Bobby Lee
I go, oh my God. We, you know, we hug. I meet the kid. You know, I Mean. And the dude. What's up, dude? What's up, man? You know what's up, home. You know what's up, homie? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Andrew Santino
Black guy.
Bobby Lee
No, it's the white guy. But it's like, we white guys can do this too.
Andrew Santino
I know, but you're doing the homie thing. You keep going, what's up, homie?
Bobby Lee
Yeah, that's what. How I talk.
Andrew Santino
Why?
Bobby Lee
I don't know. I'm urban.
Andrew Santino
Urban Bob.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. What's up, dog? And I do what's up? Right?
Andrew Santino
You said, what's up to the boyfriend.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. And then they go, well, see you later. And then they leave and I go, oh, you know, what did I do?
Andrew Santino
What. What did you want? Were you in love with that person?
Bobby Lee
I think I was. I think. Honestly, I think there's some relationship. I. Maybe I should have hung in there.
Producer McCone
Yep.
Bobby Lee
Don't you think?
Andrew Santino
Don't say. Yup.
Bobby Lee
No, I. I believe that. I think I should have hung in there because in rough patches, right? I go, mayday, mayday. I gotta get out. Right. But that's the nature of relationships. You're gonna have rough patches, so.
Andrew Santino
Of course.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. And it's like, the next time, maybe stick in the rough patch. You know? I mean, and then you get out of it instead of, like, pulling the emergency cord.
Andrew Santino
But sometimes it's for the better.
Bobby Lee
But I don't think so. I think every relationship I've been in it, I should have just stayed in it.
Andrew Santino
That's interesting.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
The butterfly effect. Now, you could go back in time and.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, because it's like, if I look back, they were attractive, good people. Empathy, all the things. And then you see them happy. But then they would have been miserable with me.
Andrew Santino
How do you know that?
Bobby Lee
I'm a dude. I'm a creature of the night, dude. Yeah. You know, I mean, five in the morning playing Ghost of Yotai. What are you doing? The sun is up. Shut up. All right. I still have to level up at 54. I'm like, that's what you. I gotta level up.
Andrew Santino
But that's who you are. Who cares?
Bobby Lee
To find that special gem? I need another girl. Like, I'm leveling up, too. Exactly.
Andrew Santino
You need a leveler.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. Yeah. We're playing two games at one time. Maybe that.
Andrew Santino
There's got to be a girl like this that exists.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
A girl that's obsessed with those kind of things, that loves her independence.
Bobby Lee
But then we would get nothing done.
Andrew Santino
What do you need to get done?
Bobby Lee
Make bread.
Andrew Santino
You know, you're a big Bread guy now.
Bobby Lee
Well, I love, you know that show.
Andrew Santino
Great Bake Off.
Bobby Lee
No, but you know what I'm saying. I don't think you would want somebody exactly like you. That's insane.
Andrew Santino
You'd want someone that has similar. Similar interests. Yeah, that's what I'm. That's what you're saying.
Bobby Lee
I don't know, because I remember with Kalila, it's like, you know, I mean, we're gonna do this thing, and I'm like. And normally I wouldn't do it, but when I do it, then you're like, oh, I'm glad I did it. If I'm with somebody that's like me, we would never do anything. You know what I mean? You just be sitting there, kind of perfect. No, I need. I need someone to, like, lead me into life with a celebrity. What?
Producer McCone
Only person you would like, respect. You need to be with someone.
Bobby Lee
No, I respect Common people.
Andrew Santino
That's so good.
Bobby Lee
It's like that song from Pulp, Common People. Okay. It's one of my favorite songs.
Andrew Santino
We call them civilians.
Bobby Lee
Civilians.
Andrew Santino
Well, they're civilians because we're like. We're weirdos. We're clowns. And those are civilians. Those are adult humans. And we're different. We're goofball.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
We're children. We're clowns.
Bobby Lee
You know what I thought about the other day? After doing last night, after doing Friday night, after doing that big show with Shane, and you do this huge show, and then you just end up in a hotel room by yourself, naked, after a shower, on a chair, hunched over.
Producer McCone
Right.
Bobby Lee
Literally hunched over. And just. Just like, what the fuck?
Andrew Santino
You could have got alone.
Producer McCone
Yeah, I think it's that you think that's going to make you happy, but you've been.
Bobby Lee
It doesn't.
Producer McCone
Yeah, I know. And you know that already. You're just.
Bobby Lee
Every time I get reminded.
Producer McCone
Yeah, but that stuff doesn't make anyone happy.
Bobby Lee
I know, exactly.
Andrew Santino
Oh, there. You're happy because you were. That you did it. But it's. But everyone does have that moment at the end of the night of anything that you do or are people that get home from a long day at work, whether they like their job or not, everyone has a reflective moment in the shower, on the shitter, just being like. Yeah, because that happened. That's human nature.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
It's just. That's the feeling of everything. It's like when you buy something you've always wanted, then you get it and you don't even fucking give a shit.
Bobby Lee
That's.
Andrew Santino
That's everything. That's every. So if you can't be happy now, you're never going to be happy, then.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, I'm trying to find it.
Andrew Santino
Yeah. Although I did hear that quote today on fucking TikTok. It bothered me so much. Warren Buffett was doing a speech and he's like, if you're. If you're not happy with fifty thousand or a hundred thousand, you're not going to be happy with a hundred million. It's not going to make a difference. It's like, oh, my God, billions of dollars, you idiot.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
What are you talking about?
Bobby Lee
What are you talking about?
Andrew Santino
What are you talking. Yeah, and then he does kind of back it up by saying like, oh, yeah. And then there's a. There is a threshold of money that. That makes people.
Bobby Lee
Right.
Andrew Santino
Gives people comfort and everything. But, like, he's trying to do this. Whenever somebody like that, like, like, like an Elon Musk or like a Zuckerberg does that thing where they're like, it's not gonna make you happy, man. And I gotta tell you, just gotta find it now. All right, Later. Takes off in a jetpack.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah.
Andrew Santino
And you're like, what are you talking about?
Bobby Lee
Yeah, I had a driver the other day, and it made me really, like, reflect. And I go, you know, I talked to all the drivers.
Andrew Santino
You love talking to the drivers.
Bobby Lee
I'm like, what's up? What's up, dude? You know, you talk. I was getting into his life. He's like. And we got into his life. He's married, two kids. And then I go, you happy? He goes, well, let me. When I go home after this shift, I'm gonna sit in my driveway for an hour and just look at Tick Tock before I go inside the house. Yeah. And I go, why? He goes, I just don't want to be there.
Andrew Santino
Oh.
Bobby Lee
You know what I mean?
Andrew Santino
I thought he wanted some like, self talk.
Bobby Lee
No, no, no, no, no. He goes, because when I go in there, I'm just so unhappy.
Andrew Santino
Oh.
Bobby Lee
And he goes, I'm only with my wife because we have two young daughters and I'm gonna stay together for them.
Andrew Santino
Andres was your driver.
Bobby Lee
And I was, I was like, dude, just figure that out. That sounds like a nightmare. He goes, no.
Andrew Santino
Well, because what is he gonna do, break up a family? And he.
Bobby Lee
And that's what I'm saying. But that's. That's. I don't want that. I think that's what I'm looking for, something perfect. Because I don't want that. I don't want to, you know, I.
Andrew Santino
Mean, but perfect doesn't exist.
Bobby Lee
But the. To be dreadful going home.
Andrew Santino
But I don't think that's. I don't think that's going to happen to you either. I think that guy made his reality.
Bobby Lee
Doesn't that sound like a nightmare?
Andrew Santino
You don't know what else is going on in his life.
Bobby Lee
No, I. I got into. He goes, what happened? He goes, my wife doesn't want to compromise. She. It's her road or the high road, you know, I mean. And what. Why you left at.
Producer McCone
That's the saying. You got it right. I was just.
Bobby Lee
Why'd you laugh at it? Because they don't get it wrong.
Producer McCone
You said it a little funny, that's all.
Bobby Lee
How do you say it?
Producer McCone
My way or the highway is my.
Bobby Lee
High or the right way? And he was like saying, like, you know, I can't, you know, I mean, do what I want to do. It's always her way.
Andrew Santino
Did he say what he wanted to do? Oh, you mean just in general?
Bobby Lee
In general, like, it's like, you know, I mean, as soon as I get in the house, like, do the this, do that, do this. You know, I mean. And also, he said that I haven't had sex with her in 90 days or 100 days. He doesn't want to have sex.
Andrew Santino
Doing like a cleanse or something?
Bobby Lee
No, no, she just doesn't want to do it. So my point is, is that it's just. He's trapped. And I don't want to be in a prison.
Andrew Santino
You don't want to be trapped in a loveless marriage or loveless relationship even.
Bobby Lee
I want to be free, you know?
Andrew Santino
Right. Well, then that's what I'm saying. Then don't ever. You don't need to.
Bobby Lee
But I believe that there is got to be somebody out there that has that. No, I. I understand about compromise.
Andrew Santino
Yeah.
Bobby Lee
You gotta come and I. I understand about that, but to feel trapped is a different thing.
Andrew Santino
Yeah, that guy was a bad example.
Bobby Lee
Of what?
Andrew Santino
That. That's not gonna happen. That's not you. That's that man's plight.
Bobby Lee
Okay.
Andrew Santino
That won't be you.
Bobby Lee
Because I like going on adventures as well.
Andrew Santino
You're an adventurous man. Yeah, yeah.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
I don't think that's gonna be you.
Bobby Lee
Okay.
Andrew Santino
You know, and I.
Bobby Lee
But. But you can see the fear.
Andrew Santino
I think it's a real. I think it's a real emotion. It's a true feeling to have to. To be. You don't want to be with someone that you no longer are interested in.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, but this happened Last night I was at Ding Tai Fung, not Ding Taiong. I was at Sunundang, which is a restaurant.
Andrew Santino
It's another three. Three word.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah. It's a Korean restaurant.
Andrew Santino
It was a ping pong dong.
Bobby Lee
And I was with Andrea Jin and my friend Andy. And we're. We see. See this couple, and you can see the guy. And we were talking about him. He was just like. And she's, like, doing all the talking, you know what I mean? And they kind of. It was like. There was some, like, a confrontation going on. We don't know.
Andrew Santino
We couldn't hear it.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. But you could just see how he's just so sad, you know? And I go, I know what that is, and I don't want that.
Andrew Santino
What was it?
Bobby Lee
Just trapped and bummed and, like, you know, I mean, like, I'm. I can't get out of the situation kind of, you know, I mean. And I don't want that. I think that's the worst thing. You know, it's. It's also like sometimes relationships, you. They turn into your mother. Because I do have childlike behavior, so women want to mother me, like, do this, do that, because you're not acting normal. But I want somebody that's. Accept the fact that I'm just the way I am, because I'm not going to really change that much. I'll provide. I'm fun. You know what I mean? But it's.
Andrew Santino
What's so funny is that your dating profile? I'll provide. I'm fun.
Bobby Lee
You know what I mean?
Andrew Santino
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's the Bobby elite.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. But, you know, I think.
Andrew Santino
I think because when I see you.
Bobby Lee
And your wife, I don't feel that. I feel like, you know, she's just so cool.
Andrew Santino
It's my homie.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, and you're lucky.
Andrew Santino
But we all have. We have Fancy and his wife have. There's just stuff that happens and you got to wiggle your way through it. Now if I was. If I had that guy's fucking thing, the drivers, like, I sit in my car because I don't want to go inside.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
I'm out of that relationship.
Producer McCone
That's.
Andrew Santino
I don't. That's crazy. That's that guy.
Bobby Lee
But you. You got to understand, I'm stuck. I have kids, you know, I mean.
Andrew Santino
There'S a way out of everything.
Bobby Lee
You think so?
Andrew Santino
100%. That guy shouldn't be in that. Also, that's worse for the kids because he's probably not present. He's probably. They're probably like Daddy. And he's like, you know, the fuck out of my face. Yeah, get away from me. I don't like you.
Bobby Lee
But I see signs up front. I went on a date. And she goes, you're not gonna believe this. She gets in my car. She goes, don't drive yet. I go, why? She goes, I want to connect my phone into your Bluetooth so we can play my music.
Andrew Santino
Oh, God.
Producer McCone
Immediately stop it.
Bobby Lee
That's the first thing she said.
Andrew Santino
Okay, but you could go along and go, okay, maybe I want to hear your tunes. Maybe she want to share tunes with me.
Bobby Lee
You know why my sideburns are shaved?
Andrew Santino
No.
Bobby Lee
She went. She grabbed my cigarette. This is not gonna do my sideburns.
Andrew Santino
This girl made you shave those?
Bobby Lee
No. Just a couple days later, I looked in the mirror and go, maybe she's right. Maybe it's too grizzly.
Andrew Santino
Let me see.
Bobby Lee
No, I just shaved them.
Andrew Santino
But they were grizzly.
Bobby Lee
You know, they were long and grizzly. Some of the white hair.
Andrew Santino
I love it. It's great.
Bobby Lee
I know you do, but she did that, and I was like, oh, I can't do this. Because that's the. The beginning. Yeah, that's up front, dude. That's what you're opening with.
Andrew Santino
But what. What if she gets all the heavy out of the way up top? What if that's the only thing that.
Bobby Lee
Bothers sideburns and I had to play my music?
Andrew Santino
That's it.
Bobby Lee
Those are the only problems.
Andrew Santino
I mean, that's pretty good.
Bobby Lee
That is pretty good.
Andrew Santino
In the long and their dating profile, it's like, look, I hate sideburns and I got to play my music, but outside of that, I'm chill chick on earth.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, but that. I mean, those are warning signs. No.
Andrew Santino
So you're never going to talk to that girl again?
Bobby Lee
I haven't, no. Yeah, because it was like. It just felt, you know, it's just hot. But that's nothing.
Andrew Santino
They're all hot.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. Yeah.
Andrew Santino
Every girl is hot with you. I said that to someone. Who was I talking to you guys? And I was like, they're all hot. They're all hot.
Bobby Lee
But now it's like, I can't do it if they're like that.
Andrew Santino
Well, it doesn't matter that they're hot, because they're it. That's not. It's not. There's more that you need there's more than you need there's more that you.
Bobby Lee
Need there's more that you need.
Producer McCone
This is also the New Year's episode. If you want to talk about resolutions.
Bobby Lee
Are you a producer? Can I be honest with you, McCone?
Producer McCone
Yeah.
Bobby Lee
Are you a producer on the show?
Producer McCone
You're his boss?
Bobby Lee
I mean, what. Let me ask you, what is your job description?
Producer McCone
It's vague and it changes often, but.
Bobby Lee
Is it telling me what to do? No. Is that. No. Is that your job description, telling me what to do? Feed you the.
Producer McCone
Feed you the ball?
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did you come up with that segment Resolutions? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Producer McCone
New Year. New.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah. You know what? We're not doing that.
Producer McCone
That's okay.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah. You have any other suggestions?
Producer McCone
Not right now, but I'll let you know.
Bobby Lee
Oh, yeah. Now look what? You're. You're getting mad. Yeah, Right? You're getting a little angry and rageful, right?
Producer McCone
Resentment.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. Why the resentment?
Producer McCone
I'm just kidding.
Bobby Lee
No. Why the resentment, though? Let's get this out. Maybe that should be the New Year's, right? Yeah, yeah. What's going on?
Producer McCone
No, there's no reason.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah, there is, because you're hiding. I can tell. All right. We're good.
Producer McCone
Yeah, we're all good.
Bobby Lee
I could see your face, though. You can't hide your face when I see you sometimes. Like, you know what? Last time we got a little. You did a face.
Producer McCone
Yeah.
Bobby Lee
When was it Was the last time.
Producer McCone
We got into it.
Bobby Lee
No, it wasn't getting. It was something that happened in Phoenix.
Producer McCone
I don't remember.
Bobby Lee
You got your camera in my face, remember?
Producer McCone
No. Yeah, it happens a lot. I don't take these things you say seriously because you're just. You're a funny, silly guy. He doesn't take you seriously.
Andrew Santino
Damn. He doesn't take you seriously.
Bobby Lee
That's what I'm talking about, dude.
Producer McCone
Intimidating guy.
Andrew Santino
He said that to me one time. He goes, bobby, I don't take him seriously.
Bobby Lee
Oh, you want to get. You want me to get intimidating?
Producer McCone
You can try.
Bobby Lee
Oh.
Andrew Santino
You can try.
Bobby Lee
Okay.
Producer McCone
I love you so much.
Andrew Santino
No, no.
Bobby Lee
Okay, okay, I'll try. I'll try. Yeah. Yeah. I'm gonna try. I'm gonna try.
Andrew Santino
You can try.
Bobby Lee
That's my new year. I'm gonna try. I'm gonna try to be intimidating. Okay. Yeah. That's fun. What are you gonna do new year?
Producer McCone
I'm trying to stay more consistent at the gym.
Andrew Santino
Okay. I was going to say you should be looking for a new job.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
Might have to replace you.
Bobby Lee
I mean, for your age. Here's another thing that you do that. It's Crafty McOne. It's his networking. I see it.
Andrew Santino
Oh, right.
Bobby Lee
You. I mean, like, when we're backstage and him talking to Shane.
Andrew Santino
He's always trying to chum it up.
Bobby Lee
Try chum it up. You know what I mean?
Andrew Santino
Chummy guy.
Bobby Lee
And I wanted to go, sh. And go, oh, no, that's. That's a camera guy, you know, Did. He's just a kid camera guy.
Andrew Santino
He did say that.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, I. Did I say that? You did say. Yeah, I interrupted them.
Producer McCone
And Shane went, no, okay.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah. Talking to me. Yeah.
Andrew Santino
Ooh, you see he's snapping on you a little.
Bobby Lee
I think I got it. Yeah, yeah.
Producer McCone
I'm just saying. What happened?
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Andrew Santino
This is interesting.
Bobby Lee
It's interesting. Andrew gave him wins, though. What wins?
Producer McCone
This guy.
Bobby Lee
I know.
Andrew Santino
I gave him wins.
Bobby Lee
You pulled him up. Wings.
Producer McCone
Wings.
Andrew Santino
Oh, I was like, I gave him wins.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. I think you influenced him. He thinks you're. He's. You. No. Yeah, yeah. He's an extension of your arm.
Andrew Santino
He's an extension of my leg.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
He's holding on to my leg. Daddy, Daddy. I gave him. I gave him.
Bobby Lee
Right.
Andrew Santino
I gave him lift. And so now he's flying at 35, 000ft, and he. He belongs in a Cessna below oxygen levels, right where he.
Bobby Lee
He thinks we're peers, right?
Andrew Santino
He does.
Bobby Lee
Do you think we're peers?
Producer McCone
I think at this point, we're. We're work friends.
Andrew Santino
No, that's not what he asked you.
Producer McCone
Definitely. I don't think we're peers, Bobby.
Andrew Santino
I think.
Producer McCone
But also, I'm not a comedian, so it's a different thing.
Andrew Santino
Ah.
Producer McCone
I feel like if I was like an open mic or I want to be a comic maybe.
Bobby Lee
Ah.
Producer McCone
But I'm not. I'm not in that.
Bobby Lee
We work together on this side. We work together.
Producer McCone
I know, but it's like we're. There's different planes. I'm not even.
Bobby Lee
Do you think that you have as much power as I do on the show? No. Be honest.
Producer McCone
No, of course.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. What do you think the power levels are, though?
Producer McCone
You're 10,000 and I'm, you know, 50.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, you know. Well, then tell yourself that you're 50. 50.
Producer McCone
I mean, it's a. It's a weighted scale.
Andrew Santino
I don't know if you're 50. Yeah, I don't know.
Bobby Lee
You're 50. What do you think? If I'm.
Andrew Santino
If you're 50 and he's 100,000, what's.
Producer McCone
Andres Andreas is like 99,000.
Bobby Lee
Wow.
Andrew Santino
So he's.
Bobby Lee
I don't make me one of these.
Andrew Santino
So he's. So you guys have talked about this before. Obviously. Doesn't that sound like they've discussed this. So you're 10,000 less than us.
Bobby Lee
No.
Andrew Santino
And what is 300,000?
Bobby Lee
Oh, I'm, I'm 100,000. He's 300,000.
Producer McCone
99, 75.
Bobby Lee
1050. And he's 300. I'm 100,000. Yeah. Okay. In what way, though? The edit.
Producer McCone
There's so much control in the edit and the influence. The original voice of the show shaped into what he is.
Bobby Lee
No, you're talking about Andreas right now, right? No, I'm talking about. Why is he 200,000 more?
Producer McCone
I mean, just planning stuff, putting stuff together, or Special Olympics events.
Andrew Santino
He's trolling you so hard right now. It's fucking. I didn't. It's getting to you, dude.
Bobby Lee
I know.
Andrew Santino
Don't let him troll you.
Bobby Lee
I'm really mad. I'm really mad right now because he's.
Andrew Santino
Trolling you and it's working.
Bobby Lee
Here's why we come to this. Every year to this point where I get this mad and then I forget about it.
Andrew Santino
That's right.
Bobby Lee
The year goes on. I forget. But I think my New Year's resolution is not to forget.
Andrew Santino
Never forget.
Bobby Lee
I'm not intimidating. Right. And I have no power.
Producer McCone
No, you have less power.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. But if either one of us. Right. Leaves the show, the show's over. Of course. Right. So I would say that we're 50. 50 or 50. 50.
Producer McCone
Exactly.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, but not in your eyes.
Producer McCone
Yeah, It's a weighted 51. 50 is a little heavier than the other dude.
Andrew Santino
He is.
Bobby Lee
I know.
Andrew Santino
He's logged in.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. Okay.
Andrew Santino
That's interesting.
Bobby Lee
It's so interesting.
Andrew Santino
That's very interesting.
Bobby Lee
It's very interesting stuff.
Andrew Santino
I feel like he's doing a very good job. And Carlos has stayed, like, eerily quiet. He doesn't want to up any.
Bobby Lee
Because he, he's learned.
Producer McCone
Yeah, because you do the forgetting thing with me a lot.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Producer McCone
I have to.
Bobby Lee
I forgive. No, with him, I forget. For you, I forgive. Yeah. Okay. Don't get me wrong. I always remember. But I forgave you for those things.
Andrew Santino
That's right.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. Yeah. But for you, I forget. I go, oh, he's, he's not as, as annoying as I thought. Yeah, but then he is.
Andrew Santino
He is.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Producer McCone
I think I'm just a little sad that you canceled on Kill Bill today.
Bobby Lee
He canceled as well.
Andrew Santino
I had work to do.
Producer McCone
You canceled to sleep in.
Bobby Lee
I, I, it started at 1pm I had to work. I hadn't slept in four days. I said, okay. I was, I went from Vegas to Phoenix to Here. All right. I hadn't slept. And in my. And tomorrow I have the busiest day imaginable. So in my mind, like, Sunday is the only day I can sleep in. I'm not gonna wake up during my sleep in day and go, I'm gonna go watch Kill Bill. I'd rather sleep in. What do I do? Andrew, I need your advice. We're at a precipice here.
Andrew Santino
I think, as the boss, you need to play. You need to take some sort of disciplinary action. Now. Is that like a temporary suspension from the show?
Bobby Lee
I don't know. What do I do, though? I'm just be my advisor.
Andrew Santino
I think perhaps the temporary suspension might be there. I mean, not an expulsion, but, you know, I don't know. If he's terminated. You want to terminate?
Bobby Lee
I don't know.
Andrew Santino
He's. How close is he for termination?
Bobby Lee
I think I'm gonna do it because he. He's not intimidated, and he's not. He doesn't believe that I'm gonna do it. You know what I mean? And I'm gonna have to do it so that he believes I. I.
Andrew Santino
Look, dude, the power's in your hands.
Bobby Lee
Can I ask you something, Andreas, real quick, before I do what I'm gonna do? Right. Who has all the cut footage of. Of bad friends? You do. He has. No, he has none of that to blackmail me or to put it online.
Producer McCone
No, I have tour footage.
Bobby Lee
That's why he does have tour footage.
Producer McCone
Yeah.
Bobby Lee
And I see a lot of things. Yeah, yeah.
Andrew Santino
But that's our property. That's illegal for him to. We can. We can. We can.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, but I think he would if I fired him.
Andrew Santino
You think he would release.
Bobby Lee
He would leak that stuff out.
Andrew Santino
He won't.
Bobby Lee
You're fired. It sounded intimidating to me. Yeah, yeah. You're fired. Why are you blushing?
Producer McCone
Well, I just want to know if there's anything I can do to win back.
Bobby Lee
No.
Andrew Santino
Oh, that's good.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah. Smart thing, because with your networking, this is. What. You're not playing it right.
Producer McCone
Okay.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah. The plate is. Even if you believe these things. Right. You say the opposite. Right. There's things that, like, you know, you, Pauly Shore, or back in. When I was a kid, you know me. Or what Mitzi Shore would say that I, like, didn't believe or. Or, like, you know what I mean? But I wouldn't say it out loud. That's insane.
Producer McCone
I got you.
Bobby Lee
Right?
Producer McCone
So it's like, wear the pants on the podcast.
Bobby Lee
Dude. Yeah. You have to do it subtly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not as overt, you know, I mean, like, you know, I mean, you got to train, Take some acting classes or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Andrew Santino
Well, how about this, you know, I.
Bobby Lee
Mean, you want to.
Andrew Santino
Do you want to dock his pay?
Bobby Lee
No, just let him down. Give a.
Andrew Santino
Well, here's here. This is fun.
Bobby Lee
No, it's okay. What if we get this punishment? He doesn't care.
Andrew Santino
I don't care. What if he gives his money divided into half to. Half goes to Fancy, and then the other half goes to Carlo?
Bobby Lee
No, no, he needs money. So it's like. Just let him do what he wants.
Andrew Santino
No, he can sleep here at the studio. He used to do it. He did it when he had asbestos.
Bobby Lee
At this point, it's like, you know, I mean, I. I worked so hard to get to this place.
Andrew Santino
You did well.
Bobby Lee
Still don't respect me. It's fine. I'm used to it.
Andrew Santino
He respects you.
Bobby Lee
No, no, I'm you. I'm used to it. I've seen it.
Andrew Santino
Raise your hand if you respect Bob in the studio.
Bobby Lee
Put your hand down. I don't. Honestly, McCone, I don't care. Any of you guys. All right? That's my New Year's resolution. I'm just gonna do what I do, you know?
Andrew Santino
It's a good start to the year.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
2026 is off to a hot start.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
I'll tell you what I'm looking forward to.
Bobby Lee
Well, I want to hear everything.
Andrew Santino
A long winter's nap.
Bobby Lee
Me, too.
Andrew Santino
With mom and her kerchief and me and my cap. Yeah. I can't wait. I can't wait to just lay down for, like, a couple weeks. I need it.
Bobby Lee
I'm gonna go on my horse.
Andrew Santino
I want to go on your horse.
Bobby Lee
Right. And just ride around that game. Ghost of Yotai.
Andrew Santino
Yeah.
Bobby Lee
You know what I mean? Go on adventures.
Andrew Santino
Let's get you a real horse. No, you could keep a mini horse at your house.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
You got room back there?
Bobby Lee
You know what I realized about you the other day?
Andrew Santino
Huh?
Bobby Lee
If you're not good at it, you won't do it.
Andrew Santino
What do you mean?
Bobby Lee

Hosts: Bobby Lee & Andrew Santino
Date: January 5, 2026
The first Bad Friends episode of 2026 finds Bobby Lee and Andrew Santino launching the new year with their signature chaotic banter and reflective humor. The duo covers topics spanning family mishaps, live shows, charity events, fast food mishaps, evolving technology, relationships, and their own dynamic—sprinkled with musical, culinary, and pop culture detours. Beneath the laughs, they reflect on aging, happiness, belonging, and the search for meaning both on and off the comedy stage.
On Helping Family:
“Everyone knows this role where your mom falls, whoever's the closest picks her up.” — Bobby Lee (00:57)
Philosophy on Happiness:
“If you can’t be happy now, you’re never going to be happy, then.” — Andrew Santino (59:13)
Fast Food Wisdom:
“Onion rings just to hang out with onion rings. If you come over to French Fry Land, I'm calling ICE.” — Bobby Lee (38:07)
Workplace Comedy:
“He thinks we're peers, right?” — Bobby Lee (70:29)
“I think at this point, we're work friends.” — Producer McCone (70:34)
Predicting the Future:
“Single father…with an 18 year old Russian kid.” — Bobby Lee (81:29)
Existential Reflection:
“That stuff doesn’t make anyone happy…Everyone has a reflective moment…That’s human nature.” — Producer McCone & Andrew Santino (58:39–58:46)
Throughout the episode, Bobby and Andrew’s distinct mix of absurdity, dark humor, self-deprecation, and genuine friendship sets a lighthearted but relatable tone—even when tackling deeper subjects like aging, regret, and the human quest for connection and joy.
This episode showcases classic Bad Friends chemistry: rapid-fire teasing, tangents that somehow yield real insights, confessions about personal shortcomings, and a refusal to take even the new year too seriously. Listeners new and old get both laughs and life lessons—with a side of existential crisis and a sprinkle of fast food nostalgia.
