Okay. Gift ranking time.
A
Okay. Gift ranking time, Dude. And I. I'm gonna say this in the most honest way possible.
B
Please.
A
Okay. Not only was this gift the best gift of the party, probably one of the best gifts I've ever received in my life. W. And that's Jean Hong. He gave me these. No, no, it. Andrew. Andrew gave me something that was such a surprise out of left field. Right? Here's what I want to be surprised.
B
You love a good surprise, right?
A
Number two. It's got to have value.
B
Financial value matters to you. Yes.
A
No, sentimental value.
B
That's.
A
Yeah, yeah. Hello.
B
We bought you 500 Louis Vuitton glasses. You go, I want the expensive ones.
A
Yeah. And you got me those.
B
We did. Yeah, we did. We went back and got.
A
But here's the thing, okay? What you gave me was shocking.
B
You didn't expect.
A
Was the best gift I ever got. Can I tell people what it was?
B
Of course you can.
A
Yeah. He gave me.
B
I gave him his own home kit to make a Chinese water torture. And it's got all the instructions.
A
You can do waterboarding, right?
B
It's really cool.
A
It comes with a mat. You know that Braveheart, you know, I mean, thing where he died at the end that little, you know, slab dude. How to unroll that.
B
I see an infomercial right now that's like, make your own waterboarding at home.
A
Yeah.
B
Timmy does it.
A
Yeah. And then bamboo. You know me because, you know, bamboo, that little shark. Like the tips.
B
Yeah.
A
You can stick in the pink, right.
B
In the tip, Tip, tip, tip. And anyway, tell them what I got you. For real.
A
I have no idea what's going on, but he got me. Well, as everyone. Everyone knows, I'm a big fan of Arsenal fc. It's a huge.
B
It's your favorite soccer team.
A
The shoes.
B
The shoes are propping up the sign below. The shoes are what shoes? The Arsenal shoes that I bought you. They're propping up the sign. They remain in the box.
A
Oh.
B
Which is fine.
A
Those are fine.
B
This is fine.
A
Yeah. This the gift you got me? Way better.
B
Well, yeah, obviously.
A
So he gave me. So Arsenal fc, their biggest star of all time was a guy named Thierry Henry.
B
That's right.
A
You got me a Tyrionry signed soccer club card.
B
But it's in a very football card. A very exclusive card.
A
Exclusive card. Hard to get for some reason. You left the price tags on them.
B
I did not.
A
Yeah, you did. Yeah, you did.
B
I did not.
A
I can take photos of it right now and I can show you the price tags on it.
B
Really?
A
Yeah. On every single item there's a price.
B
Forgot to take those off.
A
So you know it is real.
B
Yeah, I must have forgot to take.
A
Yeah. In bold, you know, I mean. Or did you have a price machine at home? Like one of those sticker machines? I don't know because I googled it.
B
Oh, you did?
A
I didn't trust it. It's right about right.
B
Okay.
A
Yeah, yeah. And then he got me an Ethan Wanieri rookie card. Now this kid is from the academy. He's only 19 years old. He could be the next big thing.
B
You think he might be one of the greatest Arsenal players of all time.
A
He's great.
B
That good.
A
I mean, he is one of the youngest starters we've ever had, aside from Max nowman. He was 16 or something when he first.
B
How old is this new kid?
A
What? Max Dauman?
B
No, how old is this new Rookie now?
A
He's 19 or 20. Wow.
B
But he's 18.
A
He's 18. This guy Wanieri. Ethan Wanier. Yeah, yeah, he's 18.
B
18 years old and he's. You think he's.
A
He's. He was on the first team. He played for the first team at 16, 17 years old.
B
That's disgusting.
A
We have a kid named Max Dalman who debuted at 15, two weeks, three weeks ago.
B
He can't even drive a fucking car.
A
Yeah.
B
And he's.
A
They've never inserted their, you know, genitals into other genitals.
B
You never know. I don't know how that.
A
Yeah. I don't know how that is your personal story as a right measure.
B
Yeah.
A
Excuse me.
B
Well, that's how you joined teams when you were a kid.
A
Or. They've never had caviar. Is that better?
B
That's probably closer.
A
Yeah. Yeah. They've never had caviar. They've never had like, you know, snow beef.
B
I love snow beef.
A
Love. No snow beef.
B
I think I've had it with you.
A
Yeah, yeah.
B
We have snow beans.
A
Yes. No beef, dude.
B
Oh, wait. The thing I got you that I'm.
A
Really interested in and then you got me a couple of different packet of a set of cards. Yeah. That probably will never open.
B
Well, here's the deal. I'm told. And I have to give some love to the truth of this. Our good friend helped me. I went to. Was going to a store. I ran into a good friend of ours. Do you remember who I ran into?
A
Did you go with them to there or you just ran?
B
I literally. Random. Random ran into him.
A
And I was, no way. How are the odds?
B
My hand of God. And I was like, he was walking out of one store next door. These two. Cool. I'll show you where they are.
A
Okay.
B
Collectible stores. And I was like, I want to get a collectible for you. And he's walking out with his buddy. And I was like, you have to be kidding me.
A
Wow.
B
And it's David Cho.
A
Yeah.
B
And I was like, dude, what are you doing here? He's like, what are you doing here? I was like, I'm coming to get a gift for Bobby. And I was like, are you coming to the party? That's why when I showed you.
A
Was he invited? Yeah, he didn't come.
B
I showed you the text. He said, my kids.
A
I have to. It's. You know what? I'm tired. You know what I'm tired of? God, what?
B
He has kids.
A
I'm tired of. That's the excuse. With anyone that has a kid, that's the greatest excuse. I don't have the information. If they're sick, if they're dying, you know, I mean, if one of them's in prison, well, the kid.
B
Younger kid isn't.
A
Yeah. I mean, they have a dying toe. Right? There's nothing.
B
I know.
A
Itchy bones. They're nothing.
B
Itchy bones.
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Itchy bones disease, you know, I don't know. Right. It could just be like, this is an excuse. I don't want to drive all the way over there. So I'm just going to say kids.
B
I think he really couldn't because he was upset by it, but he helped me pick this.
A
No.
B
All right.
A
He.
B
He helped me pick it out. And he said, that box set, he goes, bobby's an addict. I'm an addict. He's like, the thing I love about comic books and new card things is because it's like an addict. It's an a. It's an itch to scratch.
A
Yeah. We're both addicts.
B
And. And by the way, he said. He said in that pack, you can choose to not open it, but in that pack could be a like one of ten card that's worth ten grand.
A
What's the card?
B
It's. It's a. You'll know when you open it up because it'll have us. It'll. It'll have a special look to it of the oven arsenal. It'll. It'll say the sticker on it. 1 of 10 or 1 of number on it. He's like, you should open it. He opens all of them. You don't have to. Yeah, but I think it's worth.
A
Because that pack. Because the price tag was on it was. Was 500.
B
I think that's what it said.
A
Yeah. 500 for just a packet of.
B
But that's not the real price. You know that I put fake prices on those.
A
So how much was the Tyrion Rewind?
B
I think the Tron recard was like 36 bucks and 40 cents. And the. The rookie card he gave me for free. And that box set, I think literally was 19.99. I think it's been like 65 bucks.
A
Thank you. Appreciate it. I really do appreciate it.
B
No, it was.
A
I'm gonna throw them in a.
B
No, it was more.
A
You want me to throw them in a fucking fire?
B
No, stop it.
A
Look at me right now. Yeah, I will throw them in a fire. Sure.
B
I don't care.
A
Are they the real prices?
B
No.
A
No, I'm gonna throw them in a fire.
B
Do it.
A
Okay. Because it's not worth it.
B
The Henry one is. Don't do that. Please don't do that. Yeah, yeah, that one was not cheap. Please don't do that.
A
Okay, but is it the right. Anyway, let's move on.
B
But the rookie card was free. I will say shout out. The guy was friends with Cho, and he was like. He's like, you wanna. He's like, can I give this to you to give to Bobby as, like, an included gift? And I was. Well, because I'd spent. We'd spent enough money that he was like, can I give you a free gift?
A
Wow. That's a huge one.
B
Well, he was super rad.
A
That's the most excited one. Exciting.
B
Well, he's also a big fan. So he was like, is this cool if I give you a gift to give to him? I was like, that's fucking awesome. He owns the store, so he was like, I'm going to give you a rookie card. He goes, bobby will know who it is. And I said, okay. So I put in the thing.
A
It's so good.
B
It's awesome.
A
It was. You know, the Lanier card was like a deep cut. And it was like. In my mind, I'm like, andrew's doing research. Yeah, you just said that. He says I was being very Mindful. I did some research.
B
Well, I did research on where to go to get a collectible that I was looking for for you, so. That is true. But he helped me with the other side.
A
All right, I'm gonna go down.
B
Did I try to go get a Tron rethink for you? Know what I really tried to buy for you? A signed jersey from Tear On.
A
I don't want that framed on your.
B
Wall in your room.
A
I don't do that.
B
You don't want that?
A
No, I'm not like.
B
Well, then I'm glad I didn't buy.
A
It because, like, a Midwestern, like, oh, this is my man cave, dude. I'm alpha male, dude. Look, I got Troy a can. Sign whatever. Whatever. You know what I mean? I don't like that.
B
God, you're such a.
A
And a deer head. I shot that in the woods with my father, grandfather and father when I was 17 years old.
B
You don't like those fans?
A
No.
B
So you don't like.
A
I love them.
B
Okay.
A
I'm just not that kind of guy. I'm beta.
B
You're very. You're very sensitive.
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Listen, you want to know the posters I have in my room?
B
Sure. I have a poster of Depeche Mode.
A
No. Peter sellers and Shirley McLean together framed. Right.
B
Okay.
A
I have a photo of Brian Ferry singing.
B
Okay.
A
Okay. I have a photo of. I have a really cool Lou Reed one on the street. I have a photo of Tashira Mifune in his underwear doing a cheer.
B
Why is that? At a party or. It's a posed photo.
A
He was at a party.
B
Was just a candidate. Was a candid photo of him partying.
A
Yeah.
B
That's kind of cool.
A
Yeah. What else do I have? A couple of movie posters. But you know, I'm not. You know I'm not. You don't have, like, a deer head on my wall.
B
I don't think that's.
A
I have a dreamcatcher.
B
Oh, that's close to a deer head.
A
Yeah. Yeah. I have a little dream capture as.
B
It caught near your dreams, really saving them. Have any of them come true?
A
I. Hopefully not, because they're all nightmares.
B
Wait, really?
A
Oh, yeah, I have nightmares.
B
Isn't dream catcher supposed to encompass your Catch your dreams and put them back out into the world?
A
Isn't that what I think it catches nightmares?
B
Well, I'm pretty sure, yeah. Catches them before it goes into your head.
A
Like it.
B
You should know this, dude. You were on reservation dogs. Did you not pay attention to anything those guys said?
A
I never even shook Their hands.
B
You never shook one eye. No, no, he's kidding.
A
I love them.

B
Me, Gene Hong.
A
Right. And then what did he give you again? The Air Pods.
B
It's not that good. I mean, it's nice. It's okay.

B
Yeah.
A
And it's a melatonin drink, right?
B

A
Yeah. Right. And it came in a box, but the box was so tired and torn that I knew that he probably bought it 10 years ago on the road.
B
Never. Never gave it to anybody.
A
Never gave it to anybody. He's like, I know you like these. It was like the most tattered I've ever seen any box. I mean, it's like brown and you know what I mean?

A
I've never seen them.
B
He had so many tattoos.
A
He's always wearing, like long sleeve shirts.
B
I know, but I was shocked.
A
Wow.
B
I think it's time for me, by the way. I had a. I had a daydream.
A
The other day to get a tattoo.
B
I think it's time.
A
I think a neck one is time.

B
Just one little. Yeah, but right here.

Yeah. Smaller even.
B
Right there on my.
A
And just thin.
B
Yeah.
A
Thin lines.
B
That's what?
A
Thin lines. Yeah, yeah.
B
Like your arsenal.
A
I don't have an arsenal. One I'm going to get. How about this?
B
Because I thought you had an arsenal.
A
I want to get one. I want to get an arsenal. Here.
B
What are you going to get, the cannon?
A
Yeah, yeah. And then you get a golf club. We'll go. No. Yeah, that's pretty cool. That kind of looks like a scar, though.
B
Yeah, it looks like a scar.
A
Yeah. Too thick.
B
It's also poorly done.
A
Yeah, yeah.
B
What does that say? Papa. That's a little creepy.
A
It's a little creepy.
B
Can I write? What if I write Daddy with a golf club? Yeah, that's for you. A golf club on your shoulder. Daddy. Danny.
A
Something. What about your wife? Something about your wife or something like it.
B
Just like a. Like something that reminds me of her on me.
A
Yeah. Or a little.
B
I'm trying to think of what.
A
That. Do you have a. Do you have like a little funny thing that you call her, like pumpkins or.
B
I do, yeah.
A
What is it?
B
I have a nickname.
A
What's a nickname?
B
I'm not saying. What's up with this guy that killed this girl and they found her in the trunk?
A
I wouldn't even know. It's so dark, dude.
B
This guy named David, He. He's a rapper in la. They found his Tesla in a dump yard, I heard. And a year went by. He. They found the body of this girl he killed a year ago. It was. She was sitting in a car for that long.
A
So where was the Tesla? In his driveway?
B
No, it was in a dump yard in a junkyard. Right.
A
Well, but they also interviewed the neighborhood. Like the neighbors that he lived in, they're like, oh, my dog would always, like, sniff at the car. And there was a foul stench.
B
So he kept her in the car for a long enough time. Then he turned it into like a impoundment lot. And it just sat there and somebody.
A
What. What a bad. What a bad criminal.
B
Well, let's not kill. Let's not.
A
Don't do that. But if you're going to. But if you're going to think it through.
B
Thinking.
A
Yeah, yeah. Like, you know, you got to know. You know, like the wolf in.
B
In. In Pulp Fiction.
A
Yeah, yeah. You need one of those guys. You call that guy, they take the Tesla and they crush it in the fucking crushing machine.
B
And that's gone forever.
A
It's gone forever.
B
No, this guy didn't do his due diligence.
A
Yeah, you guys just leave it there.
B
Also, I listen to some of his music because I'm not familiar with him.
A
Good.
B
No, it's bad. So they should get him? Yeah, I gotta get him. It's terrible.
A
Yeah. What would you do, though? How would you do it if I.
B
Was gonna kill you?
A
No, no, but how to hide a body.
B
Well, you've obviously thought about it. So do you want to divulge?
A
No, that's why I'm asking now. I've never even thought about it, you know, so, you know, what does one do? Is there.
B
Okay, let's say here's a scenario. Someone attacks someone you love.
A
Which one?
B
Someone hurts your mom now.
A
Oh my God. Forget it.
B
Now you're a renegade. And you go to Arizona to kill this person. You find him, you kill them, you call me.
A
Well, my brother would kill him first.
B
How is he going to get a ride to Arizona?
A
He has a car.
B
It's never going to make it. I've seen that thing.
A
It's brand new. I bought him one. Wait, I just bought a new car?
B
Yes. Why'd you do that?
A
He's my brother.
B
You buy me a new car.
A
You have the cars. You have. All right? Jay Leno. You could buy me an Andres a new car. Yeah. No, you don't. You know what? Because that wasn't on. All right? And then to sign this.
B
You know how annoying that is? I actually said to him, I go, you're needing a new car at some point. He goes, I'm ride it to the wheels fall off. His car has 270, 000.
A
Oh my God. But it still runs well even though the engine light Check engine.
B

She's in a room at a. At a P table. It's late at night. There's two or three people at the table.
A
Who are the people that are on the table?
B
There's a short. There's a short, little, tiny black guy who's. Who's really good in his.
A
Can he be Puerto Rican?
B
There's a short, little, tiny Puerto Rican guy who's really good. He's in his mid-60s.
A
Now it's fun. Now it's fun.
B
He's divorced, the second guy. Okay. Then there's another man there, a mysterious man, white. Gotta be a white guy who just moved to Arizona.
A
He has an underdeveloped hand.
B
Both of his hands?
A
No, just one of them.
B
One of his hands is a claw hand.
A
Not just claw. It's just like a nub with just two fingers. Like Peace. And they call him Peace because every time, you know, he weighs, people think he's doing the piece.
B
Yeah. Peace, man. But he's just saying hi and bye.
A
Okay. I like it. I like it.
B
He's got one leg much longer than the other one, so it's hard for him to.
A
Whoa.
B
Yeah, he kind of walks.
A
He does a little.
B
People. Well, he's got good rhythm, to be honest.
A
Yeah. Yeah.
B
That's why he's.
A
People can see this guy coming, too.
B
Yeah.
A
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
B
But you can hear a shoe.
A
Yeah. Yeah.
B
And so this guy has it out for your mom because she's killing the table. He's got his mortgage on the line. He loses it. He's waiting out for your mom by the car. He's smoking a cigarette. He thinks I'm gonna rob her because she killed it. Tonight she made $50,000 cash. So he.

Yeah, of course.
A
Somebody might pick me up. He picks me up, we'll go straight to Arizona.
B
You gonna drive or fly?
A
If the cops can't find him, how am I gonna find him?
B
You have to take revenge in your own hands. Have you never seen. Taken. Have you never seen.
A
Yeah, but I don't know how to do any of that. I show up to this crime scene in the back of what? Chopsticks Casino. What is it?
B
Chopsticks Casino.
A
Yeah. And I'm wandering around and there's the. The yellow tape. Yeah. You know, my brother and I have flashlights.
B
You come. Well, it's. The lights are on, but, I mean, you can have flashlights if you want.
A
We have to have flashlights.
B
Well, the lights are on.
A
I have to have a pad.
B
You should have a pad.
A
Yeah.
B
A legal notepad.
A
Yeah. Yeah. And I'm dressed like you right now.
B
You're not changing.
A
I have to change.
B
You do?
A
Yeah.
B
You're going to buy a suit.
A
No, I have to change. Like Shirl Holmes. Like 17th century English attire.
B
Beautiful.
A
Hello?
B
Hello?
A
I'm here. You know what I mean? We have notes, flashlights, and then it's like, what am I I don't have the technology to get fingerprints that.
B
Let's say that you did find him.
A
Okay, good.
B
How do you kill him? Guy that kills your.
A
Okay, good.
B
How do you find him?
A
We find out his address.
B
Well, how do you kill him?
A
Oh, my God.
B
What do you do?
A
Well, first of all, I'm going to have to have a conversation with my brother.
B
You can use that Chinese water torture kit I finally come to use.
A
I was saying to my brother Steve, all right, I know you're gonna. I don't know why you have the machete, but I go, we want to torture him. Yeah.
B
You got to slowly torture him.
A
Don't just go swinging.
B
No.
A
You know what I mean? No. So what we'll do is we'll. Well, I'll tell you what we'll do. We'll capture him.
B
Yeah, you got him.
A
I'm gonna rent a warehouse somewhere. Gilbert, Arizona.
B
That's a big. I mean, right now, the prices are through the roof, but, yeah, it's fine.
A
I would spend every dollar that I have.
B
How many square foot are we talking in this warehouse?
A
I don't know about square feet, but probably 500 by nine.
B
500Ft by nine feet?
A
Yeah.
B
Okay. Yeah, it's an odd layout. Narrow, but I do like it.
A
It's very narrow.
B
Long hallway, 500 by 9. So long hall.
A
Yeah, because it's gonna be a lot of running back and forth.
B
Oh, you're gonna make him run back and forth. This is actually very smart.
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
B
So 500 by nine.
A
500.
B
If anybody can please draw this up, this torture chamber. That's 500ft by 9ft. Also actually very intelligent. 500. Looks like there's hope down the road. Yeah, but the nine feet is. That's. You know what I mean?
A
Yeah.
B
So he can. He's got a little bit of space.
A
Well, no, but the 500 fluctuates, get.
B
Shorter, as we know.
A
It's like one of those. Remember like in Star wars, that the trash can machine, the.
B
Oh, the garbage closes in. Yeah, like that. That's what kind of looks.
A
Yeah, yeah. It closes in and out.
B
That would give you nightma nightmares, dude.
A
Like a long neon lights, no windows out. And so what we'll have at the very end of that hallway. Right. Is a surgery. Surgical table.
B
Oh, a surgical table.
A
I'm gonna. What?
B
I, I, I, I. I don't get it yet, but a surgical table. I didn't get it. So I was like, oh, yeah, that's good. Why is that there?
A
Yeah, no, I'm. No, Doctor. Right?
B
Neither.
A
But I will hire a black market. Right. Surge a surgeon. Okay, sure. And what we're gonna. I'm gonna say to this guy, I go, I'm gonna pay you $1 million.
B
What you. A million bucks to do what?
A
You'll see. Oh, right. We're gonna knock him out. Right. And we're gonna give him female genitalia. Oh.
B
All right. For free.
A
For free. For free.
B
Yeah.
A
Not that. But he probably doesn't want it.
B
Maybe he does. How funny. He wakes up, he's like, perfect.
A
Yeah.
B
Exactly what I needed.
A
Wow. I've been gambling so I can get the surgery.
B
This is the only reason I gamble.
A
I should have killed your mom. I'm glad I killed your mom, because now I get this.
B
Now I have what I want.
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah. She going to remove his genitals?
B
I think you make him genital less as a whole.
A
He has like a Barbie thing.
B
Yes, Barbies. A Ken doll.
A
Right. Or you can put anything as a genital replacement.
B
What could you put in or.
A
Yeah, what's. No, that's good. But you know what's worse? You give him no openings, right? Oh, it just. Right. So the pee and the poo, it just gathers inside his body. Yeah, yeah. He just bloats into this poop.
B
It's a good horror movie. Stitch him off.
A
The beginning of death. Yeah, yeah. We had to force feed him.
B
Well.
A
Yeah.
B
A tube. And you blend it through the throat.
A
Right, Right. Tube, wet throat.
B
Can you imagine? This doctor's like, you guys. You guys got me doing way too much. The doctors.
A
No, he'll leave after the surgery.
B
I'm a black market doctor, but I have other stuff to do.
A
Just. This is what I would say to him. Dr. Mama Lalo. Yeah.
B
Malalo. Mama Lalo. Dr. Mama Lalo.
A
Where is he from? What?
B
Dr. Mama Lalo.
A
Somewhere in the eastern northern region. Somewhere northeast from a different place.
B
Dr. Mama Lalo.
A
Yeah, yeah. And I say, just put the. Put the tube in. I know. You did the bottom surgery.
B
Thank you for that.
A
Thank you so much. Here's the money. Right. She put the tube. But just let me know how to put the food into the tube.
B
How funny. When it breaks, you have to call them. You're like, Dr. Mamalo.
A
Yeah, yeah.
B
The tube is on. Disconnected. You're gonna have to come back.
A
Yeah. And so then once he. Then we'll just. He leaves. And then my brother and I, for like a week, we'll just be feeding him. Wow.
B
And watching until he pops. Eventually he's gonna.
A
He'll Pop. Yeah, yeah.
B
You're gonna film the pop and put it on ig.
A
Tick tock. Yeah, yeah.
B
Tick tock that.
A
Yeah, yeah. But what do you think of that?
B
I think it's a great torture. And I would support you, unfortunately.
A
All right, let's go to you now.
B
If somebody killed my mom, can I.
A
Give you the scenario?
B
Go for it. I know you're already building one up, right.
A
Your stepdad's out of town. Is this trip.
B
Yeah. Well, he's retired, but, yeah, I got it. He goes back, he gets. He un. Retires.
A
Yeah. He unre. He gets a job he can't refuse.
B
What is the job? What doing?
A
It's some sort of repair job. I know he's not good at that.
B
He loves repairs.
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's like a plumbing, lighting, electrical.
B
Big electrical guy.
A
Yeah, it's a bunch of stuff. And they're like, you go, we'll give you 500 grand, jump back one day at work, we'll fly you out first class. Wow.
B
Gotta do it.
A
But here's the tick kicker. Oh, it's not even real. It's the killer luring your stepdad away.
B
It's a ruse.
A
It's a ruse. Wow. He shows him Louisville Airport, right. No one's there to pick him up. Right. Meanwhile, your mom's alone at the house.
B
Oh, no.
A
Yeah. And there's a man that comes in.
B
What is he doing?
A
He's doing. He's dancing, I'll tell you that. He dances into the house. I'm so sorry to say.
B
It's pretty bold.
A
Yeah. He does, like a MC Hammer dance, right? Yeah, yeah. And he has a tomahawk.
B
Is he native or is this.
A
No.
B
Oh, this is really.
A
Start from Dances With Wolves.
B
Very disrespectful.
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's very disrespectful.
B
Right? That's what, Cultural appropriate. Cultural appropriate murder.
A
Yeah, yeah.
B
Cultural inappropriate murder.
A
Right. And he unfortunately throws the tomahawk at your mom's leg. Mom's leg just slices right off. She's screaming. Then he makes a makeshift tourniquet.
B
Oh, no.
A
And then, so she doesn't bleed out. Oh, he helps her just to do more torture.
B
Oh, no.
A
Then he has some sort of medieval mallet.
B
My guy just pushed your mom down. My. My. Your mom just broke her hip. And d. The parking garage are talking.
A
Oh, I'm sorry. Jesus, get it over with. All right, just let me do one last part. No. Anyway. Mallet pop by the head. Anyway, so then you get a call from the cop.
B
Chicago cops. Hey, hey. We found a murder over there. Your mother's house.
A
What would you do?
B
Your father's out of town. We got to go, though. We got dinner.
A
What would you do?
B
Oof. I mean, would. I definitely would take it into my own hands. If anybody hurt anybody in my family, you would. It would be.
A
You caught the guy. What would you. Let's just get to the cut.
B
So catch.
A
You.
B
You got to catch first. You can't kill because kill is too weak. You got to catch the guy.
A
Look what I did.
B
I know.
A
You know what I mean?
B
So I'd cut off his feet, so.
A
Oh, that's always a good one.
B
Little nubby guy.
A
Yeah, yeah.
B
And then I'd slow. Every single day goes by, I'd cut off each finger, so each finger slowly gets cut off.
A
Can I. Can I have all the limbs?
B
You? Yeah, I'll save them for arts and crafts.
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
B
Bobby's way.
A
I'll do something.
B
Waiting on a FedEx. He's like, Andrew's FedEx is still not here. Yeah, I did today. Why would you ship me limbs today? Yeah, I didn't. I couldn't. Same day was expensive.
A
Oh. So pack it in ice.
B
And then. And here's what I do. Cut off his little thing. Oh, pack it in ice. I cut off his little. Cut off a finger a day. Cut off his feet. So he's. He's got nubbies. And then eyes. Eyes gone.
A
That's always good eyes.
B
Absolutely.
A
How do you put them out? With a spoon.
B
Ooh, hot spoon. Hot stove spoon.
A
That's good.
B
Hot stove spoon. Hot stove spoon. Scoop it right out.
A
Scoop them out.
B
Do you want the eyes, or should I throw them away?
A
Keep, guys, keep.
B
I'll keep the eyes. Oh, an ice cream scoop.
A
Ice cream scooper is better.
B
It's perfect.
A
And then you fill it with pistachio ice cream.
B
Each of his eyes is pistachio ice cream.
A
I'm just throwing it out there.
B
Well, in case maybe Rocky road pistachio, right?
A
Oh, yeah. Oh, my God.
B
So good.
A
Yeah.
B
And then, you know, he'd be freaking.
A
What the you mean?
B
And then I have a drip.
A
It would be so itchy. Itchy. And. And just the coldness of the ice cream in his sockets.
B
And he can't itch it out because his nubs can't. And then I. And then I have to cut out his tongue, so he really can't say much.
A
Keep the tongue. Nope.
B
Cut it gone. He can't say anything. And here's ship that I'M shipping.
A
Okay.
B
And then I'm gonna get a tattoo artist. One of the best in the world. Yeah. I'm gonna get like, Dr. Wu or somebody incredible.
A
Yeah. You know, Kevon D, maybe.
B
Sure. Caf? On D. Yeah. And they're gonna tattoo all over his chest in. In unbelievable amount of racial epithets. Like, you know, like a swastika, the N word all over him. Just like the most foul stuff all over his body.
A
I hate blacks.
B
Right on his chest.
A
You could go further.
B
You can. And then I'm gonna drop him off like in Die Hard. Right. Just like that. So he has no way to speak or walk or tell everybody what's going on. And I'm gonna drop him off in the middle of the worst neighborhood in the world that I can find and let them eat him alive slowly but surely. Oh, I'll never make it out. But I'm also. I'm also not killing him. And here's why.
A
Why?
B
Because you want. You want someone to be able to have vengeance. Because then. That's a good movie. That's a good second movie. If he comes back for me now, it's a film.
A
Well. Well, he has no eyes.
B
They thought they killed me.
A
And there's no nubs on his feet. Wow. Imagine if the tongueless. Yeah.
B
And he comes back for me. Yeah, that's another. That's the second movie.
A
Yeah.
B
Like Old boy. Just like old Boy.
A
It's like.
B
Oh, just like old Boy.
A
Wow. What's a good idea, dude?
B
We got really dark and deep there.
A
I'm so sorry.
B
Me too. I hope no one ever hurts anybody that we love.
A
We'll never do that.
B
But we will kill you if you mess with our mom.
A
Yeah. Just. I mean, I think. I think people could relate. I think that's a no go.
B
Your mom is.
A
It's the one can't touch the mom. Dad. Fine.
B
Dad.
A
Yeah. Dad. No. Yeah.
B
No, no.
A
One sibling is bad, too, but just.
B
Something about your mom because it's your.
A
Oh, my mommy. Oh, my. The helplessness. My mom's 80 and she's just laying there. You know what I mean? Alone. Oh, my God. It makes me so angry.
B
Oh, there she is.
A
There she is. Okay.
B
Sweet, sweet lady.
A
Yes. What a sweet lady. Okay, good. Put it.
B
Hold on. Pull that up again. Is it. Was there two cameras taking pictures of her?
A
What do you mean?
B
Well, she's looking one way and then the other way.
A
Okay.
B
She didn't know which camera to look at is what it kind of.
A
Can I tell you. Can I tell you something?
B
So one camera was dead on, the other one was to the left.
A
Can I tell you something? This is something you don't know. And I can call your mom, right? So when my mom was.
B
All right.
A
Can I be honest?
B
You started that whole war three years.
A
Ago, so my mother, when she was 7 or 8 years old, right. She had chronic pneumonia. Okay.
B
She. She got pneumonia all the time.
A
Yeah. No, but she had this one sickness where her left eye. The pupil went all the way so you couldn't even see it.
B
What do you mean? The pupil went, like, out of, like.
A
It was fucked up by her face so bad. She went. Her eye went into her fucking what? Yeah, it was like that when she moved to America. But also growing up in Korea.
B
That's why it's the best country in the world. They're fixed now. Almost.
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So when she, as a kid was teased and bullied because of that eye, she was. Yeah, yeah. Like chronically, it was bad.
B
Well, thanks. I'm glad it's at the crux of.
A
The show and then. Let me finish. Right. She comes to America and my dad had a little bit of funny. And when she met him, he got those. That eye fixed.
B
He said, I'm gonna fix your eye.
A
Yeah. So that's now the result of it. You can make fun of her all you want.
B
I do. Yeah.
A
I know.
B
Yeah, but you make fun of me, too. You make fun of my mom too.
A
Yeah, but your mom's perfect.
B
That's exactly right.
A
Yeah.
B
No, your mom. Your mom. Your mom got it all fixed out, and I'm glad that it.
A
No, but you still make fun of her eye, and it's crazy.
B
Well, I have to. It's insane.
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I have my mom all the time, but in fact. In fact, I go out in public probably ten times a day. That's been mentioned. And then you gotta go, right that. But your face is not really that happy. Your eye. Look at that. You're, like, good.
B
I get it. I get it every day. I didn't know when. That's not your mom by proxy. It is. And I love her so. I love her dearly.
A
Yeah. Anyway.
B
I can't believe you never told me that story about your mom's eye. Unless it's.
A
It's not. That's real.
B
You do stuff like that.
A
It's 100% real that that happened. I mean, it's very traumatic for her.
B
Well, it's terrible. Then why didn't you say that when we started joking about it years ago?
A
We're A comedy show. And I thought you meant well, but now you keep digging and digging.

I've seen parts of it, yeah.
B
Yeah, parts of it. That means tick tock. Yes, I know what that means. That means tick tock. We're big with kids on TikTok.
C
Yeah, it's like I don't have the attention span.
B
Watch like anything really. Right, well, you're an editor, so you spend time watching other shit.
C
Exactly.
A
I'm the same too. I don't watch whole things, including this show you watch. I've never seen this show.
B
But that's not. You do watch whole things. You watch films all the time.
A
Yeah, but if I'm not a part of it, I'll watch it. Right?
B
She's not a part of this. The fuck are you talking about? Yeah, young people her age don't watch anything anymore now.
A
Yeah, okay.
B
They don't like.
A
You don't watch film.
C
I like. I do, but I feel like films are getting longer.
B
See? Oh, they don't want to watch anything.
A
And we're talking about.
B
They're actually probably getting shorter. I bet you like shorter. They feel like they're getting shorter.
C
Popular ones lately have been.
A
Have you seen Dr. Zhivago? That's like four hours long.
B
They're getting. Statistically you're getting longer on average.
A
Oh, wow. You're right.
C
And I'm the only one. It's not like I like I have adhd. But it's not just me.
B
Well, look at that.
C
Everyone's.
B
They were around 90 minutes in the, in the 30s and then it went up to about 130 minutes. Peaked out in the 60s, then it dipped in the 80s and the 90s, which I love the 90, 90 minute, you know, whatever the. And back in the 90s, the comedies that were 100 minutes perfect, you know.
A
But they are peaking.
B
Yeah, but then right now we're no, we're kind of on average. We're actually going back down technically, so. So boohoo. Sit around. Do enjoy a movie.
C
I do enjoy.
A
What's the last movie you saw?
C
I feel like, I feel like the group of us watch something recently. Oh, we watched Pitch Perfect, which is.
B
Brand new movie, just came out 15 years ago. Emma. Pitch Perfect.
C
Well, it was on cable. We have like the TVs in our rooms.
B
This is going to make me sad. She's going to keep telling me how awful this place is.
A
Awful.
B
It sounds like a prison.
C
It's. It's nice.
A
You have no. You guys have no money.
B
Well, rub it in.
C
Internship right now.
B
They're 20 years old. They're in school. Yeah, it's tough.
A
I don't remember. So like you have a bank account?
C
Yeah.
A
Okay. Do your parents help you?
B
Bank account?
A
I don't know what the fucking deal is, dude. Sorry for swearing.
B
She has a bank account.
A
Okay. She can do your parents. You ever call? Do you ever call your parents? I need money.
C
No.
A
And they never give you money.
C
They like will offer it sometimes. I don't like to take it while.
A
You'Re one of them.
B
Are you making your own money now?
C
Yeah.
B
You are?
C
I mean at this exact moment? No, because my internship's unpaid.
B
But I've like unpaid internship is. Was always the biggest scam of all time of Hollywood. We all did it, but it's insane. Yeah, like you do the same amount of work but you don't get any of the money. And you're like, when do I get the money? They're like, if we want to give it to you. That's crazy. McCone's been on an unpaid internship for a couple years now. That's pretty wild. Do you enjoy working for them?
C
Yeah.
B
Are you cut? Are you cutting? Are you prepping and stuff? What are you doing?
C
No, I'm doing like a lot of internee like duties, which is like running the social media and stuff. But they're letting me like work on like giving like feedback on the trailers and stuff. It's really like, good. It's worth it to have the experience. It's just hard living in LA because it's so expensive to not be making money.
B
Yeah.
A
Do you see yourself living here?
B
No.
A
Or New York.
B
So you're gonna go to New York? She's an east coast kid.
C
I. I like it here. I wouldn't stay here long term. I'd live here for like, a couple years.
B
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
A
What?
B
Yes.
A
People from the east coast are so delusional and crazy. Can I. Let me make my piece here. Yeah. All right. LA is the best city in the world. I believe. Yeah.
B
I don't think. I don't think it's the best city in the world.
A
What do you think it is?
B
What's the best city in the world? Madrid's pretty great.
A
In the United States.
B
Well, that's not the world.
A
Okay, let's just.
B
Best city in the U. S. Yeah.
A
New York's up there.
B
New York is way up there.
A
Yeah. Yeah.
B
Chicago is way up there.
A
Yeah. New York's beautiful. All right.
B
That's.
A
Chicago's good.
B
Look at how gorgeous.
A
But here's what. It's the weather.
B
The weather is the best here.
C
Yeah.
A
Yeah, yeah.
B
San Francisco should not be on there. Look at all that poop.
A
San Francisco. San Francisco's still great.
B
No, I love it.
A
Yeah. Yeah. Poop island, great restaurants. But la, I just. I can't. You. You'll never move.
B
I can't. You won't let me. I want to.
A
I know. You're staying here.
B
It's the hardest thing in the world. Whenever I said this the other day to my wife, whenever you fly here, when you're coming back from the east coast and you get to Colorado, they're like, it's going to be bumpy over the Rockies. It always is. And then they go, all right, strap in your seatbelts, and we've got about two hours left. You're like, two fucking hours.
A
Yeah.
B
We just did two hours. We got to do it again.
A
Yeah.
B
We're too far.
A
Yeah.
B
That's my biggest problem with this place. It's way too far.
A
Not from Hawaii. Five hours.
B
It's far from everyone.
A
Okay.
B
All of the country is that way. Everybody's that way.
A
Not my people.
B
You don't. I'm your people.
A
Hawaii, dude. Have you been to Hawaii? No.
B
What? Have you ever been on a vacation? A nice vacation?
C
Yeah.
B
Where'd you. With your parents?
C
Yeah.
B
Where'd you guys go?
C
Puerto Rico, I would say, is the best event.
B
It's an island of garbage.
A
I mean, that was really dead on.
B
You know who that was? There was a comic, Tony, he joked around and called it an island of garbage during the. What was that? I don't even know what that was.
A
It was Trump. Yeah.
B
It was a rally. He called it an island of garbage. It was a joke. He was.
A
But it was at the island of square garden. That's the square garden.
B
Yeah.
A
Hulk Hogan was on it.
B
Garbage brother.
A
Yeah. So what your dream is to become an editor, have a family? Maybe one day. Yeah.
B
Well, you're 21, so like life is so bright now. There's nothing getting no free.
A
I wish you could like, you know, I mean, like borrow people's. Younger people's blood.
B
You stick around Hollywood long enough, you'll just, you'll get it right.
A
You know, just give you a couple more extra years.
B
That's why everybody's getting kicked off the air because they're all blood drinkers.
A
They're all blood.
B
I love that. That's like a real thing that, that people rumored this, that they're like, they're drinking blood of babies.
A
Yeah. I've run into people that said that.
B
That's what the Hollywood reservoir is filling.
A
I know there's a cabal, you know, in. And you guys are a part of a cult. I go, really mild. Yeah. And they go, but. And I always ask, am I in it? They're like, no, I don't think you're in it. Right, right. Then I go, then I'll ask like, but what about so and so? No, but then you get to a point like, what about Bill Burr?
B
And they're like, because he's that famous.
A
Yeah. But I'm like, yeah, he would never do that.
B
That's what you think. Dude, baby blood is warm. Maybe fucking warm baby blood, dude. I sit down for me. This guy's giving me warm baby blood at noon. Do you know who Bill Burr is?
C
Yeah.
B
Do you like stand up comedy?
C
Yeah, I watch this in my. I, I. We saw your show. That was really good.
B
What show?
C
At the Comedy Store.
B
Oh, you guys went to a live show? Yeah.
A
Oh, they came down the main room. Oh, you guys saw that?
C
Yeah, it was awesome.
A
Who was not good?
C
I don't want to say that.
A
Yeah, yeah, but we'll bleep it out.
B
Don't make her feel that way.
A
All right.
C
Dax Flame was so good.
B
We love dad.
C
That was hilarious. I didn't see it coming.
B
Emma. So we know your dreams, we know your hopes.
A
Yeah.
B
You're 21 and you're living in the arguably the most uncomfortable part of Los Angeles in terms of walking around at night. You don't feel safe, do you?
C
No.
B
Yeah. Please don't walk around at night.
A
Yeah.
B
We just met, but I really do.
C
Things I have seen being here. Just like, what, it's been two weeks, maybe three. Yeah, it's crazy. And like. Like I'll look out on my balcony. Like, I saw, like, I saw some. Someone with one leg, like, throwing scooters at people.
B
Oh, that's. That's Caleb.
A
Yeah, Caleb.
B
I love that guy. He's actually very sweet.
A
Yeah.
B
There is a guy kind of near here that throws e bikes into the LA river.
A
Yeah.
B
And then the fire department was there yesterday, and I talked to the guy and I talked to the firefighter. I was like, what do you guys do? And they had a hose out. And they were training by. They were. He was doing hose training exercises, like unplugging, plugging, and they were shooting into the L A River. And I go, what are you guys doing? He goes, training. And I go, what's up with all those bikes? He goes, dude, the more we take out, the more they keep putting in. So we're not doing it anymore.
A
Wow.
B
Because these homeless guys, they throw. They find them, they throw them in the fucking L A River. Yeah, look, that's them. They just do they just huck them over the side scooters and stuff. E bike scooters. They'll throw. Why? Because they're homeless and they're upset and they're. Yeah, right. That's right there by Frogtown.
A
Wow.
B
Dude, it's. I literally, the firefighter was like, we stopped taking them out because we would have to take them out. It's a pain. And then the next day, there'd be four more in there.
A
Wow.
B
There's a homeless taking a stand against E bikes.
A
He had no leg.
C
Yeah, he only had one leg. He was in a wheelchair. I don't know how he was throwing them. He's throwing them far too. He's throwing them, like, at people. He didn't reach them, but got good strength.
B
Those oneleggers. Just like the guy that murdered your mom. Peace.
A
That's right.
B
That guy was a bad boy. Maybe this could be the same guy.
A
Maybe.
B
Also, there's a robot that's been stuck in my neighborhood. They weren't allowed forever. You know the ones that self deliver.
A
I love those guys. Those.
C
They all have names?
B
Yeah, this one's Kenny.
C
Oh, Kenny.
B
And. And he's been stuck at a light pole in my neighborhood, and I don't know what to do. But I. But honestly, the sun is roasting him all day.
A
Yeah.
B
And it's dying now. The lights are dying on. Is like Wally, dude. It is like Wally.
A
Good. I love the eyes that they put in.
B
Well, look, it helps, but link. Yeah, they blink.
A
They do blink. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
B
And the eyes are slowly dying. I can tell it's dying. And I. And I want to help it.
A
And I always say hi. I don't know why.
B
Yeah, you say hello when they let.
C
Them go in front of me.
A
Yeah, me too. And I go, hi.
B
I like how they stop really abruptly when they don't know what's in front of.
A
And I always go, I'm sorry. Like it doesn't know.
B
No, it does know.
A
You think it does?
B
Well, it's recording everything at all times that someone. Someone's watching back some of that footage. I don't like those things I put.
A
In front of them or juke them out.
B
You're a fully. They're taking jobs from real people.
A
No, they're not, dude. You don't have to tip them.
B
These robots out of here. Someone had to program it, fix it. Yeah, upkeep. That's three jobs, right?
A
That last 50 people.
B
Delivery jobs.
A
You're an oppressor. That's how they felt like robots are oppressing us. When immigrants started coming to America, they viewed it like that. That's code. Immigrants are.
B
How is that not an immigrant?
A
Yeah, yeah.
B
Does he have a sentient being?
A
His name is Jamie. He's not an immigrant.
B
It's Jaime. Imagine if ICE starts busting these boxes.
A
Yeah.

A
No, when you saw one. If people don't know a Waymo is a driver.
B
Self driver. Driverless car. It's Uber without a driver. It's a car just drives you. They suck.
A
Did it shock you when you saw it or not?
C
It did. I saw them at first and I just thought they were like weird looking cars. And then I looked in and there's no one in there.
A
You know.
B
You know the bad news about this, right? Because we're Valley boys. We live here on the Valley. Yeah, they're coming to the fucking Valley by next year. But you know, they're mapping it out right now. So it's happening. I wanted it only in the City. Fine.
A
What's up with your fucking shit against oppressing fucking robots taking jobs from people? I was a driver. I was a FedEx driver. I support drivers. And the working man.
B
Yeah, you're the working man. You quit after like a month and a half. How long did you do it?
A
Well, I worked till I got my unpaid internship and I had to take all my FedEx savings and drive out here.
B
All right. With the same car. Let's go back to Emma. I'm not Emma. Do you like a guy? Like Cony is close in your age, is this kind of guy someone. If you saw him, would you trust him? At a party, would you go, I like this guy. He seems trustworthy. If you saw him.

B
You can feel something. He's a little troublemaker. He's a little bit.
A
He needs to stay careful.
B
Stay careful.
A
Why do you think I'm in trouble?
B
Well, you wore a jacket, and it's 96, and that was a little dead giveaway that something's afoot. And I. I don't know what it is, but I thought toe came in here with a jacket. It couldn't be hotter outside. Literally.

The movie I'm pitching is called thick mints, okay? Not thin mints. And it's about a girl Scout leader. A very beautiful, sexy, thick woman who trains young girl Scout women to kill men.
A
Wow.
B
Who have done her wrong. It's almost like a. It's a female empowerment film. And all the while, they're selling cookies to make money to fuel their. Their revenge on all these men that have done them wrong.
A
My God.
B
That's pretty great. You like it?
A
They're young children that murder.
B
No, no, they're girl Scouts, but they're all grown women by this point now they're just avenging their death through the girl Scouts.
A
So they train the children to. To kill. I don't know if that's going to market. Well, why Toga? Express yourself.
B
Why? Interesting.
A
Well, you know, I don't think that's going to appeal to the general audience. Like child neglect. Well, I like it. Yeah.

Slavonia.
C
Slavonia and I have invented something that you have all used in your life many times.
A
Oh, what is it?
B
I forgot what it is. What is it?
C
It's actually the crosswalk box that says wait and. And it tells you to walk.
B
That's what she invented.
C
Okay.
A
Yeah.
C
No, listen, listen. I'm serious. Think about this, okay? If this wasn't a thing, we'd all be getting hit by cars.

A
Okay. Can we. We have. We have some questions. We have some questions. Can we ask some questions?
B
I like how we gave her a great invention and she somehow made it sound like it was not worth it.
A
Yeah.
B
Like, for some reason, now I'm like, God, that is not. It was invented for the. For the blind.
A
Yeah.
B
I mean, it was, you know, that it was vented for blind. Yeah. To help them get across the streets.
A
Yeah.
B
That's why you hear go. So the. The noises echo each other so they can find out how far it is and where they're going. But you hate blind people. You've said that on the show. The first thing out of your mouth is, I hate blind people. No, you did a good job pitching. Very good.
A
Very good.
B
I actually really liked it.
A
You want to do one? Not really. I think.
C
I think you should.
A
I think you should. I think you should.

And I think. And applaud you, J. That was great, gg.
A
Yeah.
B
All right, let's go, jj.
A
Okay, so, JJ and GG TED Talk or no?
B
Yeah, he's got to do a TED Talk and he. What did he invent? You two tell him I did hers.
A
Okay. Bubble wrap.
B
Oh, this is fantastic. All right, ladies and gentlemen, your presenter for the night, jj.
A
Thank you.
B
You know how, like, you order something.
A
And then it gets damaged on the way.
B
That happens to me.
A
Yeah. Oh, my God.
B
Yeah.
A
Like, human body.
B
Oh, my God. Yeah. Body parts always get dinged up. What if you had a wrap, made a bubble to stop that? What do you mean, bubble? Bubbles, they float and then they pop like little kids.
A
We already have that little boat. Is this the guy that invented it?
B
What is he. What is it? What do you mean? I did bubble wrap. Oh, you. You invented bubble wrap? I did. Really?
A
Yep. This is not turning into a TED Talk. It's turning into, like, an answer. What are you talking to the fucking speaker for, dude?
B
There's only two of us in this room. I mean, my God, he didn't sell any tickets.
A
Yeah, yeah.
B
It seemed like a Q A. I get it.
A
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
B
You invented bubble wrap.
A
Yeah.
B
And what gave you the In. What gave you the instinct to invent something like that? Well, I ordered, like, a tv, and.
A
Then it shattered on the way, so.
B
I thought we need better protection in, like, the postal system. Smart.
A
Very smart.
B
Smart. I don't know why you're ordering TVs through the postal system, but outside of that, I think it's fantastic.
A
Yeah.
B
Jj, you're gonna make a great ad someday.
A
Very good ad.
B
You're gonna be a great editor. Who's better at editing, you or Emma? Be honest. Go fast. Go honestly.
C
Don't even think about really seen much of her stuff.
B
We need to have an edit.
A
Oh, Slam.
B
Let's have an edit off.
A
Slam to Emma.
B
Oh, that was.
A
Yeah.
B
Oh, I don't really see stuff that she.
A
Yeah, that's right.
B
I don't like stuff that she does. That's a little down there.
A
I mean, she's asked. I just kind of don't want to see it.
B
Yeah, yeah, yeah. She does edit.
A
Yeah.
B
Not that I know.
A
I mean, I've seen it from afar. I don't think she's doing it right.
B
A lot of other people say she edits, but I. I don't. That I know of. It's not really my thing.
A
Yeah.
B
All right, well, JJ and gg, we appreciate you very much. Thank you.
A
Thank you so much for coming on.
B
Thank you, guys. Look at that. They passed. Did they get a grade for that or they passed some sort of test? Yes. Let's say this.
A
We thank you for all your birthday condolences.
B
Yeah, that was great. Can I say an honest thing real fast? A truthful thing?
A
No, it's the wrong word.
B
Yeah. He didn't die. Died on his birthday. I want to say. I want to Say something genuine.
A
Am I dumb? Honestly, am I dumb? No, no, be real. Am I dumb?
B
You're an artist.
A
Why? Because I say. Okay. Do you think I'm dumb?
B
Yeah.
A
You really do?
B
No, of course not.
A
All right.
B
I wouldn't do something with you if I didn't think you were intelligent.
A
Are you real?
B
Yeah, if you're a fucking idiot.
A
I mean, I could freak.
B
Here's the thing. I think you are what we call an idiot savant. Meaning you're brilliant in your own very specific way.
A
Yeah.
B
And by the way, that's. That's what makes you so special. I'm not smart.
A
But you're bright.
B
No, Anita. Savant refers to an individual with mental disability who also demonstrates extraordinary abilities in specific specialized area. That's fact. The term is now considered outdated and potentially ableist. Did not know that. Instead prefer the more respectful term individual savant syndrome.
A
Sorry, I like idiot. Yeah, you're an idiot. That could also be a special name. Idiot savant. Yeah.
B
I just want to say this. I want to say thank you to everybody who watched my special White Noise on Hulu and Disney plus or wherever you get it. It's all over the globe on Disney plus, Hulu in North America, I believe. I want to say thank you. It means the world to me. I know the world is chaos right now and I'm glad that we can make comedy that lets people forget about all of the nonsense in the world and just have a laugh. So thank you for watching White Noise. It means the world to me. Thank you.
A
And also thank you for being a bad friend.
B
Thank you for being a bad friend.
A
Who.
Hosts: Bobby Lee & Andrew Santino
Date: September 29, 2025
This episode of Bad Friends is a prime example of the show’s signature blend of absurdity, vulnerability, and irreverent humor. Bobby and Andrew ramble through birthday stories, riff hard on gifts, imagine outlandishly dark revenge fantasies, improvise with young media interns, and deliver random slices of their inner lives. Longtime fans will appreciate the inside jokes, confessional moments, and playful teasing that double as therapy and comedy, culminating in a show that veers from hilarious to heartwarming and back again.
(Timestamps: 18:00–39:34)
Segments: 44:52–81:19
(Timestamps: 54:33–58:09)
Bad Friends at its best: meandering, absurd, honest, and disrespectful in a way that ends up being deeply affectionate. The hosts navigate dark material with comedy as a coping mechanism, mix mentorship with mockery, and always land on loyalty, especially to family—even if it’s channeled through increasingly unhinged hypothetical revenge plots. Their rapport with the up-and-coming interns is both brutally honest and quietly hopeful, ending with a note of gratitude to fans and a subtle meditation on what makes a “Bad Friend” good.
*For anyone who missed the episode: expect chaotic reminiscence, wild speculation, and heart hidden under layers of comic vitriol. Welcome to the family.
