Time you ever even paid attention to me because I was Wearing a Monclair T shirt. I was wearing a. I was.
[02:49]
David Spade
What does that mean?
[02:50]
Bobby Lee
So let me ask you about the wrong missing.
[02:53]
Dana Carvey
Oh, my.
[02:54]
Bobby Lee
Okay. Did I. That day. Okay. That day. Did I do a bad job?
[03:05]
Dana Carvey
That's a great question. Okay, so to start the show, Dana, I'm going to bore the shit out of you with a story about gambling, about fantasy football, about. About DraftKings, which is not an ad. I can be critical. I can be real.
[03:27]
David Spade
Okay. Is it okay to say I'm all ears?
[03:31]
Dana Carvey
Yeah.
[03:31]
David Spade
Okay. I'm all ears.
[03:33]
Dana Carvey
You're all ears. And you know, plants can hear things, so I think your plant is going to like this one.
[03:38]
David Spade
Don't make fun of.
[03:39]
Dana Carvey
I'm not.
[03:40]
David Spade
I'm saying Gertrude is very sensitive. Gertrude has a mind of her own.
[03:46]
Dana Carvey
Yeah, I don't appreciate. No, I know. No one's going out, Gertrude.
[03:51]
David Spade
Sorry, go ahead.
[03:53]
Dana Carvey
So you get on this thing, it's fourth of July. It's a little early to do fantasy football. Boring, boring, boring. But they have a best ball thing. Even more boring where you just. You do a draft online right now, the only thing you need to know is you pick a full team. It goes randomly, 12 people, and then you have a team and you play it over the year or over the season. Fine. Fine. Boring. Yes. Interesting.
[04:17]
David Spade
No, I'm not gonna judge it yet.
[04:20]
Dana Carvey
But, yeah, not yet. So I say, oh, best ball. I'm gonna try this one where you pick and, you know, you join. It's 12 random people, so it's so early that it goes. It doesn't start right away. It goes, oh, you have three people out of 12. So you're in the waiting room. And I'm like, well, when does it stop? So I check later. Mm. And it's four out of 12. So I check later. And it's the third round of the draft. I'm like, oh, no. Okay, I missed it. So you can put it on the speed of 30 seconds in between, which is kind of normal. It moves quickly. You gotta pick. No dilly dally. Or they go the slow one, which takes eight hours. And I said, I'll take an eight hour day. Because I missed two of these drafts. I got in late, so I said, okay, I'm gonna do one more, but I want to be there at the beginning. So if it goes slow, takes 10 minutes. I can figure it out because I don't get notified.
[05:18]
David Spade
I'm following. I'm following.
[05:19]
Dana Carvey
You're sort of following.
[05:20]
David Spade
I mean, I haven't done this, but I get the Gist. Go ahead.
[05:23]
Dana Carvey
So I sign up. Not the fast. I go to the slow one. It doesn't even start. It's going to wait till the next morning. They don't. They have like 11 out of 12. I'm like, ah. So it shuts off for the night. It wakes up, it says, you're drafting your first person the first round. I'm like, I got it. It's my turn. I got it. I turn it on. On my turn.
[05:43]
David Spade
Okay, great. Perfect.
[05:46]
Dana Carvey
Draft. My crafty fucking draft. Who am I going to get? Who? It's so crazy. What's he going to do? He zigs when you think he's going to zag. So I pick a guy. I look later, it says seven more minutes. I'm like, gotta wait for this next guy to pick. This is a slow one, you know? Anyway, I go to breakfast, I look, it says seven minutes. I go, is this broken? No, Dana, What I wasn't realizing is it's seven hours. When it said eight hour draft, it meant eight hours in between every effing pick. Wow. So I was. I picked first and then I go 22 later because it goes backwards and snakes it. Anyway, my next pick could be at the beginning of the season because that's so much time. That's so much. So that was two days ago. We're right now on the ninth pick.
[06:43]
David Spade
Okay, so are you from me? Is.
[06:46]
Dana Carvey
What do you want from me?
[06:48]
David Spade
Are you losing money or gonna give?
[06:50]
Dana Carvey
No, you're just here to be like.
[06:51]
David Spade
Baffled and shocked and I have a gambling story that's. That's a lot simpler to understand.
[06:57]
Dana Carvey
It's probably better because this one's already over and no one even knows why.
[07:00]
David Spade
I told him, I think. I think the people are independency. Football would be like, holy, man.
[07:04]
Dana Carvey
Yeah. They're gonna be like, that's. You read it wrong, right? But no one can imagine it's that long.
[07:10]
David Spade
So I. I'm. For years, I'm. I'm playing the New Orleans Hotel, okay. In Vegas. Great showroom. 800 seats. And I guess he doesn't mind saying the name. He's a friend of mine, Mark Pitta. He's my opening act. And he's really into sports. And he's really into sports gambling. So a lot of weekends I would kind of play around with it. Niners by this. I do the spread. Really simple things. Hand it to him, and I usually would lose or make nothing. You know, he would. He would obey my orders. Here's 500 bucks. Here's my picks. And every single time he would do what I said. So the last time I had my whole thing and I said, here's the money, maybe a thousand dollars. Here's my hunches. Yeah, just bet on those. And I saw all of them come true. I went, holy, holy, you're gonna be rich. Ah. And then he came in, he goes, I switched it out in the last minute. He bet on different things, but before that, he'd done everything perfect for me.
[08:16]
Dana Carvey
It's so sick making, especially if you're a gambler.
[08:19]
David Spade
Okay, here's, here's another 32nd one. I mean, I'm playing Harris in Tahoe. I'm doing slots, so I'm always putting in the max, you know. And then finally I was down to like two 50 cent pieces. I don't know what it was. And I hit it. And then I hit the jackpot. And I would have won like 10,000, but I won 2,000. I'm in Harris EP. And I looked up and there was a jewelry shop. So I took the money and just bought my wife a necklace.
[08:49]
Dana Carvey
Oh, that's nice. That's like a story. That's like, what a great guy you are.
[08:54]
David Spade
Let's, let's get fan letters on which gambling story was. Was dumber, more accessible.
[09:02]
Dana Carvey
Yeah, no, yours was going to really get the ire of gamblers that would. But that Pitta did not, by the way.
[09:10]
David Spade
I don't blame Mark Pita. There was, you know, I mean, I don't know why he did it. He'll. He'll hear this and, and text me.
[09:15]
Dana Carvey
He was trying to help you. Going, you don't know what you're doing. I'm gonna help you.
[09:18]
David Spade
He was trying to help me, so. And I didn't lose that much money, you know, in the big picture, so. Hi, Mark. And that was my Mark Pitta story. So, I don't know, I've met Bobby Lee at the Comedy Store or whatever. Super nice guy, but I don't know him like you do, so. So I don't really know what to expect with this interview.
[09:37]
Dana Carvey
Well, I love Bobby Lee and I. He's very well liked over there. And from the comedians, the audience, there's a couple people that really get him going. Meaning get the crowd going. Bobby's one of them. He's on there a lot. I see his name on the store. The store has really good lineups. So I did the Comedy Store a few nights before. Now we're talking to him, so we'll talk about that. And then there's just a lot of interesting thing. He did a part in the wrong Missy. He did a part in Busboys. So we just have a lot of stupid stuff to go over. And he's just. He's got a very fun thing about him.

Yeah. And so on a Saturday, they said that you could do a practice audition with the casting director, but you're not going to get the show. So I went on a Saturday, and I'm in my mind the night. Because they. They wanted three impressions and I'm not an impressionist.
[15:52]
Dana Carvey
Right.
[15:52]
Bobby Lee
Right. So what can I do? I can do my dad. So that's Kim Jong Il.
[15:56]
Dana Carvey
That's funny. No one knows if that's right or wrong.
[16:02]
Bobby Lee
So that's what I did.
[16:03]
David Spade
Well, that's genius. Always say the name of the guy. You're doing 90 of it.
[16:07]
Bobby Lee
It's 90.
[16:08]
David Spade
But that. That is a funny voice.
[16:10]
Dana Carvey
Yeah.
[16:10]
Bobby Lee
Thank you so much.
[16:11]
Dana Carvey
Yeah.
[16:11]
Bobby Lee
Everybody, welcome to my show. You know I did that.
[16:14]
David Spade
Yeah.
[16:15]
Bobby Lee
And they were like, yay. Right? So I just went, wait, you did.
[16:17]
Dana Carvey
It with a talk show? It's even funny.
[16:19]
Bobby Lee
I think I wrote it in a talk show.
[16:22]
Dana Carvey
Yeah.
[16:22]
Bobby Lee
And then the second audition was Connie Chung.
[16:26]
David Spade
And all I did was. And they're like this, 90 is saying your name.
[16:37]
Bobby Lee
Mori. Mori. Oh.
[16:38]
Dana Carvey
Oh.
[16:38]
Bobby Lee
You know what I mean? Because she was dating Mori at the time. Maybe two. Sexual, but dating. Yes.
[16:43]
David Spade
Right in our wavelength.
[16:44]
Dana Carvey
Married 45 years.
[16:45]
David Spade
Favor already. Exclus that, please.
[16:49]
Bobby Lee
So then I. I go. I just did. Good evening. I'm Connie Chong.
[16:53]
Dana Carvey
That's not bad.
[16:54]
Bobby Lee
Yeah. And I did sort of like a newscastery kind of thing.
[16:58]
David Spade
Yeah.
[16:58]
Bobby Lee
And the Third one was Fat.
[17:03]
Dana Carvey
Who's that again?
[17:04]
Bobby Lee
You know, Chow Yun Fat.
[17:05]
David Spade
Chow Yun Fat?
[17:06]
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not.
[17:07]
Dana Carvey
It's not a name, though.
[17:08]
Bobby Lee
What?
[17:08]
David Spade
No, it's a. It's like a Jackie Chan type character.
[17:12]
Bobby Lee
When you say Jackie Chan, you put your arms like that. I don't know.
[17:15]
Dana Carvey
I don't know.
[17:15]
Bobby Lee
I don't know. I don't know what.
[17:19]
Dana Carvey
We're karate.
[17:20]
Bobby Lee
I know you want to do a. But that's up.
[17:23]
David Spade
Oh, like a j. I was karate chops.
[17:26]
Bobby Lee
I didn't even know it.
[17:27]
Dana Carvey
He goes, bobby.
[17:28]
David Spade
Then he goes, no, I never thought that.
[17:31]
Dana Carvey
This isn't racist.
[17:32]
David Spade
I'm an impressionist. The more you do a Chinese accent, I'm going to slip into it.
[17:37]
Bobby Lee
Okay? Oh, is that what it.
[17:38]
Dana Carvey
He's trying.
[17:39]
David Spade
He's trying to stay down at the end of the show.
[17:42]
Dana Carvey
He likes it so much.
[17:46]
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[17:47]
David Spade
I love Bruce Lee.
[17:48]
Dana Carvey
Young.
[17:49]
Bobby Lee
So. So I so ch. Young Fat is a actor? No, no, he was in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Chow Yun Fat was an actor.
[17:56]
Dana Carvey
He's elite.
[17:57]
Bobby Lee
Okay, right. So what? I. I saw him on an E, you know, back in the channel, an interview with him. And you know how sometimes Chinese people over pronounce their English? So he like it already. Yeah. Okay. Hello, my name is Chow Yon Fat. You. Right. And so I did that. And he did a lot of. Every time he would say a line in this interview, he would do a different bodily position. So we go, hello, my name is John Yon Fat. And he would move his body. So I explained that in the audition, right? So every line I would do a different position. By the end of my little thing, I was in the corner of the room backwards on my hands as Chanyeon Fat. Because I thought that would be a funny.
[18:41]
David Spade
It is.
[18:41]
Bobby Lee
And it. It kind of worked. And they call. Kept calling me back, and that's how I got it.
[18:44]
Dana Carvey
You know what's funny? Tricky impressions like that. Like, you're not. I wasn't impressionist when I got on and so I didn't even have to audition fake, you know, just make one up. But to have to do them and you come up with those three that are just funny in weird ways.
[18:57]
Bobby Lee
You know, you have to find the.
[18:59]
Dana Carvey
It is smart, though.
[19:00]
Bobby Lee
Okie dokie.
[19:02]
David Spade
Yeah.
[19:02]
Bobby Lee
You know the Asian thing.
[19:03]
Dana Carvey
He wants to say, I want to.
[19:05]
David Spade
Tell you a story related to what you just did. First of all, accuracy means nothing. Third of all, everything. Or did I say second of all? All those were funny. So Steve Carell comes in Auditions for the Dana Carvey show.
[19:18]
Bobby Lee
Whoops.
[19:18]
David Spade
Metaphorical. You astray. Anyway, it. It made seven episodes. But he goes, well, I don't really do impression. So he was doing it in New York in the room with me and Lucy. K. Robert Smel did. Didn't kill. And then we go to LA and audition people again. So he comes out and he does. He does the pop.
[19:48]
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah, just.
[19:49]
David Spade
That was like. I didn't need an accuracy. Yeah, that was very. So I'm not surprised you got hired.
[19:55]
Bobby Lee
I think the point is to make everyone in the room be yourself and make everyone laugh. I mean, that's the point.
[20:01]
David Spade
What did you do with the nerves of it? Did you just not have nerves?
[20:05]
Bobby Lee
Well, I had. So at the time I was working, living with eight people in a two bedroom apartment in Silver Lake. We were like sardines. What?
[20:13]
Dana Carvey
Ed Carney people?
[20:14]
David Spade
Is that kind of stereotypical?
[20:17]
Dana Carvey
Go ahead.
[20:17]
David Spade
Eight people, I don't know.
[20:18]
Bobby Lee
Go down this line of thinking. I like this line of thinking. So you know, we were in a ship. Is that what you're saying? Right. Asian Amistadi kind of situation. Is that what you're saying?
[20:31]
David Spade
Yes.
[20:32]
Bobby Lee
No, no. So Wee man, you know from Jackass, the little dwarf.
[20:37]
Dana Carvey
This is out of casting, so Wee Man's there.
[20:39]
David Spade
Who had Sophie, who was.
[20:42]
Bobby Lee
She was a. A meth addict.
[20:44]
Dana Carvey
Okay.
[20:44]
Bobby Lee
You mean we had a homeless guy. I'm not kidding you. We had an actor named Callisto. Never made it. And then we had. My brother Steve, lived in my closet. He made like a little bamboo.
[20:54]
Dana Carvey
We call those people gay now. Go ahead.
[20:59]
Bobby Lee
Yeah. So I was living with all these people in this. In. In the Silver Lake. Sanborn. On the street. Sanborn, Silver Lake. And I had to get out. When you have no money. Yeah, right. I had no car. And in my mind, I'm like, when you go into an audition, especially when you're desperate, you do everything you can. I think that's what was my situation.
[21:21]
Dana Carvey
I think they also underplayed it. They said, this is a practice audition. And then you go to the real one and you're like, so this isn't as much pressure.
[21:28]
Bobby Lee
So, yeah, so this is what happened. So the first time I went in. Thank you for dancing.
[21:31]
Dana Carvey
That's a good trick. I mean, that's a good trick for you to relax.
[21:34]
Bobby Lee
No, at first they were like, we want Taryn. Kill him.
[21:37]
Dana Carvey
Sure. Yeah.
[21:38]
David Spade
Yeah. Very well.
[21:39]
Bobby Lee
He was on the podcast back then. He was in high school. He was dating Amanda Bynes back then, you know, and great actress. But.
[21:50]
David Spade
We understood that.
[21:51]
Dana Carvey
Yeah, yeah.
[21:52]
David Spade
Went a little.
[21:53]
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[21:54]
Dana Carvey
In the funny.
[21:57]
David Spade
That's what you always say.
[21:58]
Bobby Lee
Oh, really? I don't know. Yeah.
[21:59]
David Spade
Is that guy gay? It's a thing, right?
[22:03]
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you do that or I do a wink maybe.
[22:06]
David Spade
What do you do?
[22:07]
Bobby Lee
Yeah, Is that guy, huh? Better or I think I'm going, yeah, I can't whistle.
[22:14]
Dana Carvey
So I go, now listen, I'm fine with that. I had a guy talk to me in a bar and I didn't know he's gay because he had a he. He would always wink like it was a twitch. So I go, you married? He goes, yeah. I go, but you like women. He goes, of course.
[22:32]
Bobby Lee
And I go, oh, wow, it looks.
[22:34]
David Spade
Like she's flirting with you.
[22:36]
Dana Carvey
You don't want to get naked with me? He goes, of course I don't. That one was too big. That wasn't a twist.
[22:41]
Bobby Lee
That was a little too big. Yeah, yeah. And if I was a director, I would say cut and I would say maybe do it again.
[22:45]
Dana Carvey
I said, that's all I got.
[22:46]
Bobby Lee
Okay. Okay. Well.
[22:51]
Dana Carvey

[24:21]
Dana Carvey
Okay.
[24:22]
Bobby Lee
So I came back the next Saturday. No pressure. But the pressure started is when. Then I started going during the week.
[24:27]
Dana Carvey
Callbacks.
[24:28]
Bobby Lee
And then people were there.
[24:29]
Dana Carvey
Oh, sickening.
[24:30]
Bobby Lee
Yeah. But then at that point, I had already done it a couple of times. She had given me notes. And then it gets to a point where it's just between you and it was just between me and Taryn. So we're at Fox. You know what I mean?
[24:41]
David Spade
Ugh.
[24:42]
Bobby Lee
It's not like.
[24:42]
Dana Carvey
And then you make a deal.
[24:44]
David Spade
I'm a little confused with the numbers, but.
[24:46]
Dana Carvey
Bobby.
[24:47]
David Spade
What? Because Taryn was on snl.
[24:49]
Dana Carvey
No, not yet. Before Dana.
[24:50]
David Spade
Oh, that's what I mean. So it's 90. What?
[24:53]
Dana Carvey
Sorry, Bobby, I'm a numbers guy.
[24:57]
David Spade
90 what?
[24:58]
Bobby Lee
Right. It was probably 2000.
[25:00]
David Spade
2000.
[25:01]
Bobby Lee
Yes.
[25:02]
Dana Carvey
He wasn't on.
[25:02]
David Spade
You got it. So he went there first.
[25:04]
Dana Carvey
You said he was in, like.
[25:05]
Bobby Lee
Let me ask you something. I'm sorry, David. All right, well. Why would I lie about it?
[25:10]
David Spade
That was why I was so curious. Why is Bobby making.
[25:17]
Bobby Lee
I could have said Gerard Butler.
[25:19]
David Spade
I mean, like, I. This is the first I found out that Taran Killiam was a senior in high school, folks. I mean, he's just out of diapers, right? And he's almost on television. But Bobby Lee beat him out at the final thing, so. You're old enough to know Carson. That's rare these days.
[25:35]
Bobby Lee
Huge fan.
[25:36]
Dana Carvey
But listen to this.
[25:37]
Bobby Lee
Flip Wilson. I know, too. Okay, let's move on. But Great.
[25:40]
David Spade
The devil. Sugar. Come on now, Sugar. The devil made me do it. I'm gonna take it down.
[25:46]
Bobby Lee
Don't you disappoint your flip. Right. Don't you disappoint.
[25:49]
David Spade
I never met him. He's doing love.
[25:51]
Bobby Lee
Yeah. You know what I love? Your part in. What's so funny? Why are you laughing?
[25:56]
David Spade
I had a part.
[25:57]
Dana Carvey
Yeah.
[25:58]
Bobby Lee
Yeah. You. You were in. They're redoing it. Remaking it. Let me get it. Okay.
[26:04]
Dana Carvey
Yeah.
[26:05]
Bobby Lee
About the band.
[26:08]
Dana Carvey
Not Spinal Tap.
[26:09]
Bobby Lee
Spinal Tap.
[26:09]
David Spade
Oh, Spinal Tap.
[26:10]
Bobby Lee
You were Spinal Tap.
[26:11]
David Spade
That was the music.
[26:12]
Bobby Lee
Incredible.
[26:12]
David Spade
With.
[26:13]
Bobby Lee
Let's move on.
[26:13]
David Spade
Billy Crystal. Okay, thank you.
[26:16]
Bobby Lee
Was he not in it?
[26:16]
Dana Carvey
He was.
[26:17]
David Spade
No, I was.
[26:18]
Bobby Lee
No line. And yet I went. That's Dana Carvey.
[26:21]
Dana Carvey
Yep.
[26:22]
David Spade
How did you know? Because I was in Whiteface.
[26:25]
Bobby Lee
Even.
[26:28]
David Spade
Whoops.
[26:29]
Dana Carvey
Can we cut tape? Not cool.
[26:31]
David Spade
Can we get tape?
[26:32]
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
[26:32]
David Spade
Can we just cut tape?
[26:34]
Dana Carvey
Bobby. I'm going to go back.
[26:35]
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
[26:35]
Dana Carvey
To the story everyone kind of faded out on.
[26:37]
Bobby Lee
Okay.
[26:38]
Dana Carvey
When you were Auditioning for whatever show. And one of the scary things, and I did, like, pilots and stuff like that, is when you get to the final audition, you go in a room. Yeah. And you sign how much you will make on your contract. You sign everything.
[26:52]
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
[26:52]
Dana Carvey
So you can't get the part and then try to jack them for more.
[26:55]
Bobby Lee
Right, right.
[26:55]
Dana Carvey
So. So you still need it. So they've got you by the ball, so you sign it. That's a sweaty, sickening thing. Because then you go, if you come out of that room and you got it, you get this money, you got a deal. If not, they rip it up. It's so horrifying.
[27:07]
Bobby Lee
It's. It's horrifying. Especially when you're young and you have nothing. You have pressure. You have. You, you, you. There's. You have to accept what they.
[27:14]
Dana Carvey
You might get. 10 grand, 30 grand.
[27:15]
Bobby Lee
So there was this girl. This is a real story. There was. I can't say her name. Maybe I will.
[27:20]
Dana Carvey
Ann. Margaret.
[27:22]
David Spade
Maybe I will.
[27:23]
Dana Carvey
What?
[27:23]
David Spade
What? She's Scandinavian. Good night. That's all I got.
[27:28]
Dana Carvey
Maybe I will.
[27:31]
Bobby Lee
Okay, so I remember. So we're about to test. There was another woman who I knew from the Comedy Store. She goes, I. And based on her. This is the way she talked. I'm not trying to get canceled here. I ain't signed that. Not enough money for me.
[27:46]
Dana Carvey
Oh, really? She was white.
[27:48]
Bobby Lee
What? Yes, she was white. She was the only white Mississippi. No, no, no. She's from Madison, Wisconsin.
[28:00]
Dana Carvey
She's like, hey, no, I.
[28:03]
Bobby Lee
She goes, yo, I ain't signing that. So what the deal was was every episode, you would get $3,500.
[28:12]
Dana Carvey
That's good. That's higher than we got.
[28:14]
Bobby Lee
Okay. On a TV show, to me, it's everything. I go, I'll sign it.
[28:18]
Dana Carvey
Of course.
[28:19]
Bobby Lee
I'll do it for half or whatever. She goes, I. I need 10 grand. That's what she said to me. I go, well, I know, but no.
[28:25]
Dana Carvey
One knows you are for what, junkie? God damn.
[28:29]
Bobby Lee
Madison. Okay.
[28:30]
Dana Carvey
Yeah, yeah.
[28:31]
Bobby Lee
She was a Percocet. Okay. Oh, yeah. So she. I don't know. But she goes, I ain't doing it. I ain't testing. So they tested me and Taryn. So cut to 15 years later, I'm at a restaurant, okay? And I'm sitting there, she's my waitress. And she. Her opening line was, I should have taken it.
[28:54]
David Spade
And she was all calmed down. And.
[28:56]
Bobby Lee
Yeah, she's not doing what's up? You know what I mean? Welcome to. Yeah, no, she was more like. Well, she Goes, you know, I, I, yo, I should have taken it.
[29:05]
Dana Carvey
And you go, I'm sorry.
[29:06]
Bobby Lee
And so what's the special?
[29:07]
David Spade
Can I get a blooming Onion? That's making me sad because that is the story of Hollywood.
[29:12]
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
[29:13]
David Spade
More people. You know, even if you have a career, you have a lot of regrets, you know?
[29:18]
Bobby Lee
Yeah, Yeah.
[29:18]
David Spade
I remember Brad Pitt and Troy. I turned it down.
[29:23]
Bobby Lee
Really?
[29:24]
David Spade
I was ripped.
[29:25]
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
[29:26]
David Spade
Brad Pitt came in with his fancy hair.
[29:29]
Bobby Lee
Yeah. Yeah. Have you. I mean, have you. I mean, I. I don't know this, but have you guys read you. You obvious don't read it anymore, but back in the day, did you read for things that you really wanted and not gotten for sure?
[29:42]
David Spade
Amadeus. I tested for Amadeus.
[29:45]
Bobby Lee
Oh, no. You would have been great for that. Yeah.
[29:50]
David Spade
This is better.
[29:51]
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
[29:52]
David Spade
I didn't know. I could barely talk.
[29:53]
Bobby Lee
I audition for Moriarty. So Abrams got it.
[29:57]
David Spade
We would have been together.
[30:00]
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
[30:01]
David Spade
What'd you four you didn't get you. He was a movie star at 21.
[30:06]
Dana Carvey
I did not issue for Moriority. What was that somebody nowadays. Yeah, you know how it is.
[30:11]
Bobby Lee
He played as an emphasis the old man. That was like bitter that I didn't see it.
[30:15]
David Spade
I read for Risky Business.
[30:17]
Dana Carvey
You did?
[30:18]
David Spade
Yeah.
[30:18]
Bobby Lee
Not Tom Cruise's part.
[30:19]
Dana Carvey
Yeah. Booger.
[30:20]
David Spade
Yeah.
[30:21]
Dana Carvey
Yeah.
[30:22]
Bobby Lee
Really?
[30:22]
David Spade
I was 26. I was reading for 18 in those days.
[30:25]
Bobby Lee
Wow.
[30:25]
David Spade
Before life beat me up. Except you said, keep the camera back.
[30:28]
Dana Carvey
Here you go.
[30:29]
Bobby Lee
Little.
[30:29]
Dana Carvey
When I hear that music, I think I'd walk out my underpants. I wouldn't slide.
[30:33]
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
[30:33]
Dana Carvey
And then they go. Tom slid. And that sort of clinch you did.
[30:36]
David Spade
I saw your addition tape and you clearly had a full load in your under.
[30:40]
Dana Carvey
Yeah. Most of my auditions, I start my underpants and then I go from there. I go, I can put pants on if you want.
[30:46]
David Spade
Your wiener was not doing anything. But you had a load in the back. And I go, that guy's pretty good. He should get the part.
[30:52]
Dana Carvey
Bobby loves. Yes, David, I have some real questions. Sorry about this, guys. This is a real show.
[30:59]
David Spade
I don't like notes.
[31:00]
Bobby Lee
Yeah, I'm just curious.
[31:01]
David Spade
When was the first time you felt rich?
[31:03]
Bobby Lee
Oh, is that a real question?
[31:05]
David Spade
Yeah, like I'll be like in podcasting.
[31:09]
Bobby Lee
Okay. So.
[31:11]
David Spade
Did you ever get rich in regular television? You got rich during podcasting. Now rich can be whatever you that you want me.
[31:17]
Bobby Lee
Way to define what rich is.
[31:19]
David Spade
So you feel it? Feel rich.
[31:21]
Bobby Lee
I've always felt like I was drowning. What's wrong, David?
[31:24]
Dana Carvey
I was just looking at your $12 water. I'm going I don't know if you're feeling rich right now, but I understand what you're saying. I understand that. You know, I was like, that's a great shirt. Is there Goodwill nearby? Because I want to get one.
[31:34]
Bobby Lee
Like, you know what Dave did. Did to me once, and I haven't told this story before, and I. I don't know if it's real, but in my mind, it's real. Right.
[31:42]
Dana Carvey
Okay.
[31:43]
Bobby Lee
But I feel like the first time you ever talked to me was what I hate. You're going to hate the story.
[31:48]
Dana Carvey
Okay.
[31:48]
Bobby Lee
You're going to hate the story. And I've told it before, you know, I don't think you've ever heard it.
[31:52]
David Spade
I've never heard it.
[31:52]
Bobby Lee
All right. All right. But I. The first time you ever even paid attention to me, okay. Because I was wearing a Moncler. I was wearing a. I was. I mean, I was wearing a Moncler J. It's right.
[32:05]
Dana Carvey
Kind of jacket, I think.
[32:06]
David Spade
Yeah.
[32:07]
Bobby Lee
That jacket that he has.
[32:08]
David Spade
Oh, it's a Richie Richie jacket. Okay.
[32:10]
Bobby Lee
He took his finger. Right. Equ. At the Converse door. And you know how they had the Montclair symbol. You took your finger. You wrapped your finger around the symbol. You go, so, what's doing well?
[32:25]
David Spade
What's the word?
[32:26]
Dana Carvey
Someone's doing well.
[32:27]
Bobby Lee
Someone's doing well. From then on, you talk to me.
[32:31]
David Spade
Every fucking then I was like, bobby in the club.
[32:35]
Dana Carvey
No, what's doing well? I know. And then I stuck my finger in your ass and I go, don't tell anyone this part. Anyway, Bobby and I are friendly to you.
[32:46]
Bobby Lee
When did I start feeling well?
[32:48]
David Spade
Oh, it doesn't matter. This is entertaining.
[32:50]
Bobby Lee
I know. It's a good question. I want to tell you, I'm always.
[32:52]
David Spade
Curious that anyone transitioning.
[32:56]
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
[32:56]
David Spade
From poverty.
[32:57]
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
[32:58]
David Spade
To kind of like having a lot of extra money.
[33:00]
Dana Carvey
When you told me you're transitioning, I didn't know you meant from poverty.
[33:04]
David Spade
That's why I did. From park.
[33:05]
Dana Carvey
Okay, go ahead.
[33:06]
Bobby Lee
So I always felt like I was drowning. Because I don't know if you guys were ever here, where you would do weekends as a standup and the club would go, listen, we had a comp. You know what I mean?
[33:18]
David Spade
Right.
[33:19]
Bobby Lee
In those days, even though you would make some money, you always felt like you were drowning. I think up until maybe seven years ago is when I felt like. Or eight years ago, when I felt like. When podcasting started is when I felt like, okay, well, I think I'm fine.
[33:34]
Dana Carvey
You had enough money and you're going to be Doing this forever. Yeah, that's. That's a time when you go, I think I'm okay just doing this. Because I kept going. Should I go back and bus boy wait? What could I even do? And then it takes a while to feel like, okay, I got enough here. I got enough of a base. In the beginning, I had no overhead. It was just.
[33:53]
David Spade
Did you ever call out an owner, a club owner, on the split?
[33:57]
Dana Carvey
Did you?
[33:58]
Bobby Lee
I don't know what the split means. Explain split.
[34:00]
David Spade
Well, I was supposed to get 35 of the door at this hippie dive. The club. Very famous, actually.
[34:05]
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
[34:07]
David Spade
The other cafe played there.
[34:09]
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
[34:10]
David Spade
And it was packed. Two shows. And I just was driving away my Volkswagen Bug, and I had some cash, and I was like, I don't think so. So I went back.
[34:18]
Dana Carvey
Oh, yeah.
[34:19]
David Spade
I go, guys, really? I mean, this doesn't seem right. And they immediately, like, butch casting, Sundance skin. It was like, we did it. We're sorry. I don't know. They broke down. Oh, really? It's not us. It's not us. I don't know.
[34:31]
Dana Carvey
This is up. You got rat.
[34:34]
David Spade
No, I got my money.
[34:35]
Dana Carvey
No, I'm saying they rat you.
[34:36]
David Spade
Well, they were. They were not giving me 35.
[34:38]
Bobby Lee
Was it before SNL?
[34:40]
David Spade
Yo. Way before.
[34:41]
Bobby Lee
Yeah. Way before.
[34:41]
David Spade
Yeah.
[34:42]
Bobby Lee
Bananas in New Jersey. This is the sad. So.
[34:45]
Dana Carvey
Sounds like a pretty.
[34:45]
David Spade
I want to hear this.
[34:46]
Bobby Lee
What?
[34:48]
David Spade
No, that's where everyone. You.
[34:52]
Dana Carvey
I had some shenanigans of bananas.
[34:54]
David Spade
Yeah.
[34:55]
Dana Carvey
Go ahead.
[34:55]
Bobby Lee
So they gave me an offer, like a guarantee.
[34:58]
Dana Carvey
Yeah.
[34:59]
Bobby Lee
And I just didn't do well. They thought I would do way better than I did.
[35:03]
Dana Carvey
I know.
[35:03]
Bobby Lee
Tough couple came up to me at the very. And they were handing me this check. Shaky. So they went, oh, well, that. Like. Like this, right? And they go, young man, I just f. For your information, if we give you this check, our business closes. And I go, excuse me.
[35:25]
David Spade
Wow.
[35:25]
Bobby Lee
Yeah. It's over. And I go. And I looked at it, so it was $10,000.
[35:30]
Dana Carvey
Yeah.
[35:31]
Bobby Lee
And I go, how much would I need to give you back for your business? And they go, five. So I. I had. I had that. Had them rewrite it for five.
[35:42]
Dana Carvey
That's very nice of you.
[35:43]
David Spade
And then.
[35:43]
Dana Carvey
Yeah.
[35:44]
David Spade
The next week, Carrot Top. I just figured they did it to every. To every headliner.
[35:50]
Bobby Lee
Oh, maybe. Yeah.
[35:51]
David Spade
Carrot Top was there really five? No, Next time.
[35:55]
Dana Carvey
In the alley with. Just like this.
[35:56]
Bobby Lee
Yeah. Yeah. But it was the first time. And also, it felt real. It felt. They had tears in their eyes. They felt like, really, like, you know, just down and out. I Just couldn't do it, you know, I got.
[36:11]
Dana Carvey
I did cartoons in Utah for 600 for a week. And they. The lady goes, you got to stay on my couch. We don't have some highfalutin hotel. I'm like. So I did it because I was newer and I did it. And then at the end, she goes, can I send it to you? And I was like, well, I kind of need it, obviously. I've been eating out of your mouse trap all week. And so I go, yeah. And she never sent it. So I said, she molested me. She did.
[36:44]
David Spade
But I played a club where they didn't pay you at the end. You would get it like a series of clubs up in Canada and Seattle. And they. You get paid like a month later because you would take all the money like that.
[36:54]
Dana Carvey
I don't want to wait one.
[36:56]
Bobby Lee
Good.
[36:57]
Dana Carvey
About when I did, like, I used to do San Diego a lot.
[36:59]
David Spade
Irvine Improvs.
[37:00]
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
[37:00]
Dana Carvey
End of the week. Sometimes give you a little bumper bonus. But I wasn't the draw. It was like. Like I was just on a show that filled up. I was middle when I got on snl. I was a middle. Like, Dana was a high flute and headliner.
[37:13]
David Spade
So when you go on, we can switch topics.
[37:18]
Dana Carvey
Oh, you said to switch to that.
[37:20]
Bobby Lee
I mean, Dana, as soon as you hit SNL, that's it. Poverty no more. Right.
[37:28]
David Spade
Started out 4500 an episode for the first season. So that. But then. Then that summer, all of a sudden I was getting 25, 000 to play a college.
[37:38]
Dana Carvey
Jesus Christ.
[37:39]
David Spade
If it's okay to bring up numbers in one year.
[37:42]
Dana Carvey
In one season.
[37:43]
David Spade
One season.
[37:44]
Bobby Lee
Well, the.
[37:45]
David Spade
Was out heavy.
[37:46]
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
[37:46]
Dana Carvey
The church.
[37:47]
David Spade
Yeah, church. But, yeah, I went to. I. I drove to a gig in Connecticut and for the only time it happened was church lay here tonight. Didn't say my name for the theater.
[37:56]
Bobby Lee
Did you have to do the fucking garb and all that?
[37:58]
David Spade
Well, I was in it often. Yeah, I showed up in it. No, I didn't wear the dress.
[38:01]
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah.
[38:02]
David Spade
I don't wear the dress unless they pay me a lot.
[38:03]
Bobby Lee
Hot. Wow. Wow.
[38:05]
Dana Carvey
I haven't heard the word garb since Theo said, is that traditional garb to you in Bus Boys? I'm like, what are you saying? I didn't understand until I saw the Daily.
[38:14]
David Spade
Always said something slightly different.
[38:16]
Bobby Lee
Yeah. Yeah.
[38:17]
David Spade
I feel like you're wearing.
[38:18]
Bobby Lee
How fast? I mean, are you guys editing the movie? I just. I'm sorry.
[38:21]
Dana Carvey
I know we heard about it too much, but we've. We did it. We Talked to Tim yesterday, Tim Dillon, who's got a big part in. And he goes, hi. What's going on?
[38:30]
Bobby Lee
On?
[38:32]
Dana Carvey
He goes, is a clip gonna come out? Is a photo something that we can just say we're in a movie?
[38:38]
Bobby Lee
Can I just ask?
[38:39]
Dana Carvey
Ask whatever.
[38:40]
Bobby Lee
Can I just ask?
[38:41]
David Spade
Yeah.
[38:41]
Bobby Lee
How are you feeling about it?
[38:43]
Dana Carvey
I think it's.
[38:44]
David Spade
Good question.
[38:44]
Dana Carvey
I think it's funny. I think what we did was funny. And it's just a matter of. I've never had no help. Like, it's just me and Theo. So we have him and we have another guy that put in a little bit of money. But yeah, yeah, he's one of Theo's buddies. So we are. Once the movie's over, we both go on the road. So now I would usually go have someone edit it and then go sit with them, if I even had that privilege. Not all movies I do. Not many people do. You go in there and you go, hey, do this. And you go through the takes. It's arduous, long, painstaking work. Me and Theo aren't in the same spot, and the editor's in New York, so they did director's cut. Then we looked at it. Now we're trying to shape. There's no special effects, so Theo was on the road, so now we got him involved. So he's got to do his. I do mine. We go back and forth till we. Then we're going to show it to people. We're almost at that part. Okay, we heard the story. Wake up, grandpa.
[39:36]
David Spade
This is our third. I do need to know. I'm telling you, Bobby, I'm the senior here. I space out.
[39:40]
Dana Carvey
I owe it to Bobby because he's in it. And so he drove all the way. We were in the valley one scene on time.
[39:46]
David Spade
Well, I think it was a good move when you hit. Well, here's. We're going to shoot the movie here. Now we're both going to go on a global tour for six months. Six.
[39:53]
Dana Carvey
So dumb.
[39:54]
David Spade
Then come back.
[39:55]
Bobby Lee
Well.
[39:55]
Dana Carvey
Well, he hasn't done a movie. And I said, we should be in the same room.
[39:58]
David Spade
Yeah.
[39:58]
Dana Carvey
And he's like, well, I gotta do this. And he's got his own podcast, so we're getting closer. It's just slower. Meanwhile, I did that Jonah Hill movie a year ago. That's not gonna be out till end of the year, probably. And so it was a full year already. But this should go faster because it's smaller. That was a bigger.
[40:13]
David Spade
Well, Bobby, and I'll put your name in there. We're Available to put some eyes on it.
[40:18]
Dana Carvey
Yeah, I know. I want to show it. I would show it to you guys just to say, what do you think? Doesn't make sense. We just want to show up from a crowd of 20 people to say, yeah, what do you not understand? What do you like? What you don't like? And then listen, it's not.
[40:31]
Bobby Lee
Can I. Can I. Can I talk to you guys about something? Confront. Controversial. A little confrontational. Why are your eyes like this?
[40:38]
Dana Carvey
I don't like it already.
[40:41]
Bobby Lee
I don't. It has nothing to do with you.
[40:43]
Dana Carvey
Okay, good.
[40:44]
David Spade
No, go ahead. You're setting this up beautifully.
[40:47]
Bobby Lee
Okay. It has nothing to do with either one of you, but you guys are a part of it.
[40:51]
David Spade
Adjacent.
[40:52]
Bobby Lee
Adjacent to it.
[40:53]
David Spade
Okay.
[40:53]
Bobby Lee

[40:53]
David Spade

[46:13]
Dana Carvey
Okay, so everyone's very nice, but Adam was just like, just say it straight. And then it was so matter of fact. And that's why we started laughing, because we're like. Every time he said it, I'm like, is that the one? And it was like, nope. Because then he comes out and goes, hey, what are you doing? Again, he goes, just try one.
[46:33]
Bobby Lee
Like, okay, check this out now, right?
[46:35]
Dana Carvey
So hilarious.
[46:35]
Bobby Lee
Hawaii outside, right? Yeah, It's Niagara Falls. Now all the makeup is drugged. You know, I am having a panic attack, right? Because in my mind, I'm like, I'm, you know, Daniel Day Lewis. Sing this thing. Yeah.
[46:51]
David Spade
What is the line again? I just wanna. I wanna walk through this. What is the.
[46:58]
Dana Carvey
Okay, we come in the hotel.
[46:59]
Bobby Lee
What is it?
[47:02]
David Spade
Literally.
[47:04]
Dana Carvey
Yeah.
[47:04]
Bobby Lee
I don't even know what the line is. Hello, Mr. Tim and Tim Robinson. Let me just make it up. Yeah, let me just make it up.
[47:09]
Dana Carvey
Me and Lauren walk up.
[47:10]
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
[47:10]
David Spade
Okay.
[47:11]
Bobby Lee
Hello, Mr. Tim and Tim.
[47:13]
Dana Carvey
Rob.
[47:13]
Bobby Lee
What's the name?
[47:14]
David Spade
You be Lauren. I'll be you.
[47:15]
Bobby Lee
The Robinson. Hello, Robinson. The Robinsons. Hi, welcome to Alolani Hotel. Yeah. Here's your registration.
[47:24]
David Spade
Perfect.
[47:25]
Bobby Lee
That's what I did.
[47:25]
Dana Carvey
Where were you? Where were you? So we go in and Lauren argues with the kids first. They go like this. You were out there swimming with the Turtles. She goes gay you to Adam's kids. That was her line. It was hysterical. She's screaming. Then we. Ahaha. We walk up, up, and we're with Watowski and Sarah, and they're in robes, and we all come up to Bobby, and I'm telling you in your defense, one line is harder than doing a whole scene.
[47:51]
Bobby Lee
Because what happens when you're doing one line?
[47:52]
Dana Carvey
Because all you do is focus on.
[47:53]
Bobby Lee
Is the whole time when you're watching the scene, all you're doing is thinking about that one line and you're running it through your mind 10,000 times. Welcome to the hotel. Welcome to the hotel, Mr. Rosser. Mr. Rosser.
[48:03]
David Spade
And you're like torturing torture.
[48:05]
Bobby Lee
Yeah, but don't you.
[48:06]
David Spade
Didn't you ask for a line reading? I'm sorry.
[48:08]
Dana Carvey
Sorry.
[48:08]
David Spade
But didn't you.
[48:08]
Bobby Lee
That's so embarrassing. You've asked for that.
[48:10]
David Spade
Oh, how do you want me to say it?
[48:12]
Dana Carvey
Just tell me. I'm sorry.
[48:13]
David Spade
Just tell me how he did do it. Oh, okay.
[48:15]
Bobby Lee
But at one point, I remember David going this. Because Adam's talking to me like this. But I see David behind Adam behind that. This is what you go. You go like this. You go.
[48:26]
Dana Carvey
Oh, I'm so sorry.
[48:27]
David Spade
I'm so sorry.
[48:28]
Dana Carvey
Yeah, I was. I was worried about.
[48:30]
Bobby Lee
Yeah, you felt, you know, and that's why there was so much love.
[48:33]
Dana Carvey
Now we're friends.
[48:33]
Bobby Lee
Yeah. Yeah. There was so much love there. But check. Here's the good news, okay? Can I tell you the good.
[48:38]
David Spade
I want to hear the. I want some happiness now.
[48:41]
Bobby Lee
So when I'm wrapped, right? I went to myself, I go, how high up is this hotel? So I can jump off. You know what I mean? Or, no, there was, like, suicide, you know, I mean, you're right. Or maybe I'll relapse. That's. I was sober at the time.
[48:52]
Dana Carvey
You know what I mean?
[48:53]
Bobby Lee
So maybe, you know, seven years is real. I could relax.
[48:55]
Dana Carvey
All reasonable thoughts.
[48:56]
Bobby Lee
Yeah. There was so many different thoughts in my mind.
[48:58]
David Spade
Welcome to the Ahwahnee Hotel. May I help you?
[49:00]
Dana Carvey
I mean, where were you?
[49:02]
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah.
[49:02]
David Spade
Where were you? You're drenched in sweat, all the makeup's tearing down.
[49:07]
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
[49:07]
David Spade
He's going, yeah.
[49:09]
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
[49:10]
David Spade
That's better than anything in the movie.
[49:11]
Dana Carvey
That's the most dramatic thing, right?
[49:14]
Bobby Lee
That is. Here's the good news.
[49:15]
David Spade
There's more good news. All right.

There's a wonton bar.
[49:48]
David Spade
All they have is wontons.
[49:50]

[50:14]
Bobby Lee
You want to take a break out of nowhere? No, I'm fine. Out of nowhere. Anyway, anyway, thank you so much. So I'm at this wonton bar. Can I have some wontons, please? Right. They gave me a bowl of wontons, right. And I don't even want to eat them. Like, I'm just so sad. So there's another Korean guy next to me. What?
[50:36]
Dana Carvey
Hello? I thought that's what he said to you.
[50:43]
Bobby Lee
That's what he goes. Yeah, because he's eating one ton soup.
[50:48]
David Spade
No, he was in the scene previous to you. He had one line.
[50:51]
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
[50:51]
Dana Carvey
Okay, go ahead.
[50:52]
Bobby Lee
So he goes, hey. You go. I go, hey. And he was sitting next to a guy I was familiar with. His name is Zack Knighton. He's an actor. And back when I was on Mad tv. What are you doing?
[51:04]
Dana Carvey
Your hands, I think. Is this not the night we went to dinner at Nobu?
[51:08]
Bobby Lee
No, it wasn't.
[51:09]
Dana Carvey
Okay.
[51:09]
Bobby Lee
Okay. We've been to mini Nobuz though, in Hawaii. Yes.
[51:12]
Dana Carvey
And you remember we went to dinner.
[51:14]
Bobby Lee
Yes.
[51:14]
Dana Carvey
And someone came and talked to us.
[51:16]
Bobby Lee
Yes.
[51:16]
Dana Carvey
Okay.
[51:17]
Bobby Lee
It's like that.
[51:18]
Dana Carvey
Okay, okay.
[51:19]
Bobby Lee
So anyway, so Zach Knighton's sitting. So this Asian guy looks just like me too. Big headed Koreans. And we're the best kind.
[51:29]
Dana Carvey
Yep.
[51:29]
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
[51:30]
David Spade
I'm not gonna co sign any of.
[51:31]
Bobby Lee
This stuff because you have the Steven Yun Koreans. You know what I mean? Like leading man. But then you get the big head and we're. We're the coal miners of the business.
[51:41]
Dana Carvey
Coal miner.
[51:41]
Bobby Lee
That's funny.
[51:42]
Dana Carvey
Yeah, yeah.
[51:42]
Bobby Lee
Like, you know, in Korea, I think I would been a coal miner.
[51:45]
David Spade
Is this part of your standard? It should be.
[51:48]
Bobby Lee
No, it's not. Anyway, so he was a big headed Korean.
[51:51]
David Spade
Okay.
[51:52]
Bobby Lee
And he goes, hey, my name is Gene. I go, I met you, which I didn't remember. He goes, I met you at Earth Bar. And you were talking about my genes. I'm really big into raw denim. Let's Move on. And I go, oh. And he goes, I'm the executive producer of Magnum PI that's what he says to me. So I go, oh. And he goes, let me write you a part. Right.
[52:13]
Dana Carvey
So I go, please, no more than one line.
[52:15]
Bobby Lee
Yeah. He go. He wrote me over the next three or four years.
[52:19]
Dana Carvey
Oh, that's right.
[52:20]
Bobby Lee
I did 15 episodes of that thing. He wrote me like I was number one on the call sheet, like, storylines. It was the he's my best friend now gene. Right. We hang out, you know, you've met Jane, we've gone to Hawaii together. I mean, he is one of my best friends. I would have never met him if I hadn't done the wrong missy with that nightmare that you put me through. Okay. And, you know, and so, you know, the moral of the story is this. Yes. Sometimes when you say yes. Right. Great things can happen.
[52:50]
Dana Carvey
Yeah. Sometimes no means yes.
[52:51]
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
[52:52]
Dana Carvey
Is that it?
[52:53]
Bobby Lee
No, that would. That's. What?
[52:55]
David Spade
Sometimes you lose for winning.
[52:57]
Dana Carvey
Yeah.
[52:59]
David Spade
Sometimes you win for losing, but sometimes you lose for winning.
[53:02]
Bobby Lee
Sometimes, you know, you don't know why.
[53:03]
Dana Carvey
You're somewhere, something's happened for a reason.
[53:06]
Bobby Lee
Something. There we go.
[53:09]
David Spade
It's all in God's hands.
[53:12]
Bobby Lee
Yeah. I think that's better. Yeah. Yeah.
[53:14]
Dana Carvey
I was close.
[53:15]
Bobby Lee
You're pretty close.
[53:16]
Dana Carvey
Something's happening.
[53:17]
Bobby Lee
But that experience. You know what I mean?
[53:21]
David Spade
And.
[53:22]
Bobby Lee
And. And just want to reiterate that, you know, I mean, Adam and his whole family has been very gracious to me.
[53:29]
Dana Carvey
Yeah.
[53:29]
Bobby Lee
And I love them very much. And I am in happy, happy water.
[53:33]
Dana Carvey
Boy.
[53:34]
Bobby Lee
Madison. One or two, too.
[53:35]
David Spade
Yeah.
[53:35]
Dana Carvey
Yeah.
[53:36]
David Spade
And I know Sandler, he was.
[53:38]
Dana Carvey
He.
[53:39]
David Spade
He would have been very gentle, almost whispery.
[53:42]
Bobby Lee
He was very gentle about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[53:44]
Dana Carvey
If he just pictures it in his head a certain way. And there's.
[53:47]
Bobby Lee
I get it.
[53:48]
Dana Carvey
And when I did. When I did my wig for Grown Ups, I walked in, so excited. Long wig. And everyone was thinking, it's so funny the way that we got there. It's coffee. Same thing. And he goes, is this a wig you want? And I go, yeah. And he goes, I don't like it. And it was like, what? I go, isn't this funny? Because I have a guy like this long hair, he thinks from the 80s. And he goes, no, no, shorten it. And I go back and cut it and cut it. We kept doing it until it was basically where it was.
[54:14]
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
[54:15]
Dana Carvey
You're supposed to be a good looking guy. I don't want that long. I was. Okay, so. But in his head, he pictures it and it's his movie. And that's. That's the fun thing. I mean, that's the good about. At least you need someone calling the shot.
[54:25]
David Spade
And he's casual as a person. When he's the executive producer, he'll be laying on a couch, have a leg of turkey, and people come in. Oh, I don't think so.
[54:33]
Dana Carvey
He is a good. He's very.
[54:36]
David Spade
I mean, he's very casual but decisive.
[54:38]
Dana Carvey
I'm not decisive, so I would. I actually thought you were doing fine.
[54:43]
Bobby Lee
Yeah. I mean, he's the nice.
[54:44]
Dana Carvey
But everybody.
[54:45]
Bobby Lee
I just wanted to share that story with you.
[54:47]
Dana Carvey
Yeah.
[54:47]
Bobby Lee
And I've never confronted you about. Did you think that the actual performance.
[54:52]
Dana Carvey
Thank you.
[54:52]
Bobby Lee
Was bad? And what you were saying to me. What I got was, it could have been better.
[54:57]
Dana Carvey
Now I got that it was a little nerve wracking to hit you with all of us do a whole scene and we come up and you just have to say one line and get us out of it.
[55:04]
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
[55:05]
Dana Carvey
And we get all the way to that part and it would stop again.
[55:07]
Bobby Lee
It was. Another good point was. Is that when you guys were all jumping around having fun and you know. You know that I'm a goofy guy. Yeah, right. I'm Silly Billy, baby.
[55:17]
Dana Carvey
Sure.
[55:17]
David Spade
You know, you had to play straight, man.
[55:18]
Bobby Lee
Yeah. And whenever I had to play something straight, it's stressful. It feels like I'm being. You know what I mean?
[55:25]
Dana Carvey
You're tied down. What?
[55:26]
David Spade
I'm sorry, what point in the movie did that. Was that about. Was it 30 or 40 minutes in?
[55:31]
Dana Carvey
Yeah.
[55:31]
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
[55:32]
David Spade
So I think I only. Oh, never mind.
[55:35]
Bobby Lee
Oh, you. You switched it off at 15.
[55:37]
David Spade
No, I'm just Forget what I just said. There was a certain point. I just.
[55:42]
Bobby Lee
Do you watch each other. Each other's stuff or.
[55:44]
Dana Carvey
No, I think so. I've seen most. Pretty much.
[55:47]
David Spade
I saw Joe Dirk. I saw Grown Ups.
[55:49]
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah.
[55:50]
David Spade
Grown Ups, too. Didn't quite do it for me, but I think I've seen most of your stuff.
[55:56]
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
[55:56]
Dana Carvey
Yeah. And I've seen. I was there for five years overlapping with them on SNL. So I saw.
[56:01]
David Spade
Yeah, we worked for five years.
[56:02]
Dana Carvey
I saw him kill from like 10ft away. Danny. You know, I'm running around all day as you know, you.
[56:08]
David Spade
You actually. That's no joke. You do. You. You do go around. You get in that car.
[56:12]
Dana Carvey
Getting my steps. Yeah, I get the steps. I. And if I don't get my 2,000 steps a day, I get out and walk. Walk. I'm not bragging, but that's What I do. So listen, I need a little energy in the day. Of course. Cachava. Okay. It comes in in a bag, right? It's a body meal. It's a whole body meal. So you mix it up either plain. You know, I kind of like throwing a little peanut butter. Right. That's just me. You can do whatever you want. Add stuff. Stuff. There's a lot of great ingredients in there already. They've got maca root, goji berry, chia seeds. So many things. But if you want to be energized, focused, calm and satiated for hours, throw in one of these. I like chocolate. They have also vanilla chai. Is that a word?
[57:01]
David Spade
Yeah. I'd say you add a little bit of peanut butter, a little bit of banana, maybe a little bit of yogurt, and then mix it in a blender or with a big spoon and gulp it down. Not hungry and full of energy all day. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Bobby Lee
Did you guys get along instantly or was there competitiveness?
[58:58]
Dana Carvey
No. The sad part was no one was competitive with me because I wasn't. Wasn't competing with them, really. So they were, like, nice to me, and I'm like, I should have been offended because I wasn't a threat to anyone.
[59:10]
David Spade
That's rude.
[59:10]
Bobby Lee
Oh, yeah.
[59:11]
Dana Carvey
You know what I mean? Like, if you see a comic and you go, yeah. You can go before me.
[59:14]
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
[59:15]
Dana Carvey
And they go, I won't curse. And you go, do whatever you want, dude. I don't give a. Oh, right. I can follow you.
[59:19]
David Spade
Put it this way. I used to call him the junior varsity. And Dennis would come in. Dennis Miller, and they would beg him. It would be, you know, you and Rock and. And Farley in the. In this dressing room. They were sharing an 8H. And Dennis would just rip everyone spudly. Okay. The carvey thing's not working right now or whatever.
[59:37]
Dana Carvey
Yeah.
[59:37]
David Spade
One at a time. But the junior varsity, when you look at them, Sandler, Chris, Rock. What's your name again?
[59:44]
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
[59:45]
David Spade
Did very well. But they were sort of quasi understudies of me and Phil and John.
[59:51]
Bobby Lee
Right.
[59:51]
David Spade
Nealon. In a way. And then we meshed really well. And I think. I've said this before. I think 90 to 93, where we had these guys, plus we still had the guys from 86 there.
[60:01]
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
[60:01]
David Spade
That was. We were very potent.
[60:03]
Bobby Lee
What a powerful group.
[60:04]
David Spade
Yeah.
[60:04]
Bobby Lee
Because when you read. I read Live from New York. Right. And you read some of the nightmarish stories that are in it. Right. Was. Were those elements in your class? Probably not then, because it felt like a healthy.
[60:16]
Dana Carvey
No, they were all there.
[60:18]
Bobby Lee
There was tension and competitiveness and all that stuff.
[60:20]
Dana Carvey
Sure. For sure.
[60:23]
David Spade
Yeah. I mean. But in a friendly way. Lovet and I decided to make a joke out of it. So we just teased each other the entire time. The idea of being envious, I would say I was in three sketches tonight, stuff like that. And John, of course, loved it.
[60:37]
Bobby Lee
He leaves too many voicemails, and I don't know what to do.
[60:39]
Dana Carvey
He loves you.
[60:40]
David Spade
Is he. Is he stalking you?
[60:41]
Bobby Lee
No, but he leaves so many voicemails.
[60:43]
David Spade
Hello.
[60:45]
Bobby Lee
And he pretends, you know, why do you have to be so Chinese? And. And these kind of, you know. I mean.
[60:50]
David Spade
Yeah.
[60:52]
Dana Carvey
Loves.
[60:53]
David Spade
Comedians do foul stuff behind the scenes because we try to shock.
[60:57]
Bobby Lee
So funny.
[60:58]
David Spade
Yeah.
[60:58]
Bobby Lee
Anyway, I love the man.
[60:59]
David Spade
Yeah.
[61:00]
Bobby Lee
So there was teasing and stuff.
[61:02]
David Spade
Yeah. Teasing. Phil Hartman. You couldn't compete. There was no competition because Phil was so such a savant that he Was reading other things in magazines about motorboats and stuff. And then they call him. And he had 10 sketches and he just hit it perfect. And you go back and then just. He'd paint.
[61:23]
Dana Carvey
He was the only one pretty much really relaxed at the whole place.
[61:26]
David Spade
Well, he was. He'd done 20 years, like 15 years at Groundlings. He was like a superstar at Groundlings. And he had a good life. He didn't really even care if he got on snl. He came in as a writer, and.
[61:37]
Dana Carvey
Then he worked with Pee Wee Herman on the adventure.
[61:40]
David Spade
Yeah, he co wrote that.
[61:41]
Bobby Lee
Oh, yeah, Paul. Yeah.
[61:42]
Dana Carvey
Aging Mr. Herman. That's how you did your part. Paging Mr. Herman. Did you see that part of the movie? Do you know who Peewee Herman is?
[61:49]
Bobby Lee
Yeah, Paul. Ruins.
[61:50]
Dana Carvey
Okay.
[61:51]
David Spade
Yeah.
[61:51]
Dana Carvey
All right. I have a few questions before we got to get rid of you.
[61:54]
Bobby Lee
Hold on. Okay. How long does this go? I mean, I. I would.
[61:57]
Dana Carvey
We don't even. We're not like you guys.

[62:09]
Dana Carvey

[62:11]
Bobby Lee
Well, I want to keep going.
[62:12]
Dana Carvey
It's.
[62:12]
Bobby Lee
And drive all the way.
[62:13]
Dana Carvey
Okay. I have a question for you for nothing. You know what I mean? It's easy. I have three questions. First of all, what when we. We. Sometimes we're on the same show. We had a good lineup the other night at the Comedy Store, didn't we?
[62:24]
Bobby Lee
Were you done?
[62:25]
Dana Carvey
What?
[62:25]
David Spade
Give it the line.
[62:26]
Bobby Lee
No, what was it?
[62:27]
Dana Carvey
Did you say, was I on it?
[62:28]
Bobby Lee
No. What was it?
[62:29]
Dana Carvey
I'm just saying.
[62:29]
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You and I were. Yo. They go photo. Yeah, they took a photo of us.
[62:32]
Dana Carvey
Check your diary.
[62:33]
Bobby Lee
Okay. Yeah. So the letter diary.
[62:36]
Dana Carvey
Today, David half hugged me and then rubbed his fingers all over my Montclair. So. So I saying that it was fun the other night because I see you there about once every two weeks at the Comedy Store. It was Whitney, maybe Tim Dillon. Like, sometimes they have a great lineup. It's fun to watch.
[62:50]
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
[62:51]
Dana Carvey
Okay. That was one not question. Oh, you know what? Because I. Because when I was leaving, I sat and watched you and a. You had new stuff.
[63:01]
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
[63:01]
Dana Carvey
You always say you don't have new stuff. You have new stuff.
[63:03]
Bobby Lee
Well, I'm doing special, so I have to get crank it out.
[63:04]
Dana Carvey
Oh, when is your special It's January.
[63:06]
Bobby Lee
I have to stress out the most.
[63:07]
Dana Carvey
What.
[63:07]
David Spade
What platform for Hulu.
[63:09]
Dana Carvey
Okay.
[63:10]
Bobby Lee
Hulu.
[63:11]
Dana Carvey
We'll get. We can. People. Some people have Hulu. All right, listen. No, you can get it.
[63:15]
David Spade
I'm just thinking you're stressed out. I mean, do you understand that You're Bobby Lee.
[63:19]
Dana Carvey
Do you get.
[63:19]
Bobby Lee
No, no.
[63:20]
David Spade
Do you understand you're famous?
[63:22]
Bobby Lee
I don't. I'm not.
[63:23]
David Spade
I just want to.
[63:23]
Bobby Lee
Number one. I'm not. Number one. I'm not.
[63:25]
David Spade
That's be part of your charm.
[63:28]
Bobby Lee
Can I tell you? Can I lean forward again?
[63:29]
David Spade
Yeah.
[63:30]
Bobby Lee
Whenever you say stuff like that, I, I, I get kind of emotional inside. All right. There's two types of different kinds of fame.
[63:35]
Dana Carvey
Yeah.
[63:36]
Bobby Lee
Can we at least agree with that?
[63:37]
Dana Carvey
Yeah.
[63:38]
Bobby Lee
Everyone in the room.
[63:39]
Dana Carvey
Yeah.
[63:39]
Bobby Lee
Okay, I'm gonna explain it to you.
[63:42]
Dana Carvey
Yeah.
[63:44]
Bobby Lee
What? You're not agreeing. And may I explain to you gently?
[63:48]
Dana Carvey
Yes.
[63:48]
Bobby Lee
Okay, gently. So there's two types of fame. Okay. There's Hollywood fame. Right. Where the type you have and whatever you were doing earlier.
[64:00]
David Spade
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[64:01]
Bobby Lee
I. And then there's Internet fame. I think I'm in sort of in the middle there. I think I've, I've kind of gone back and forth. I'm sort of.
[64:09]
Dana Carvey
You have TV from the past, but.
[64:10]
Bobby Lee
Me and Andrew Santino, my other podcast, Bad Friends. Check it out. Very good podcast.
[64:14]
Dana Carvey
Yeah, I did. Bad Friends. I love it.
[64:17]
Bobby Lee
Yeah, I did. Yeah. So bad. So me and Andrew complain a lot about. Because we came to LA in the, you know, I mean, early 2000s 90s.
[64:26]
David Spade
Right.
[64:26]
Bobby Lee
And we still have dreams of doing Hollywood. And because, you know, we do Internet as well, it doesn't feel like our dreams were accomplished, but they have been. And, and it's done. In fact, we're almost better off having our own thing in control.
[64:45]
Dana Carvey
Yeah.
[64:45]
David Spade
Yeah.
[64:46]
Bobby Lee
So it's just. It's. I guess. Thank you.
[64:47]
Dana Carvey
I know what you're saying, by the way.
[64:49]
David Spade
By the way, Burt Kreisner said the exact same thing on this podcast.
[64:52]
Bobby Lee
Did he really?
[64:53]
David Spade
Essentially the same thing. And that. Just that your age group and the romance of that.
[64:57]
Dana Carvey
That. And some people don't want to. They used to go come here to do standup, to get a sitcom or a movie, and now people go, come here, do standup, and just do stand up the rest of your life.
[65:05]
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
[65:06]
Dana Carvey
No one's even trying to get those other things. And it's not as much money and not as maybe what it was. There's not as many, so.
[65:13]
Bobby Lee
But when you're driving on the road and you're like, you see that billboard Zippy the King? I don't know. I'm just made it up. Yeah, Zippy the King, right? And some guy, you know, some open micro guy that you did back in the day is like zipping out, right?
[65:23]
Dana Carvey
Yeah, yeah.
[65:24]
Bobby Lee
And he's zipping through the sky. You know what I mean? And you're like. And you go, oh, I want to be a zippy.
[65:28]
Dana Carvey
Yeah, that's fun.
[65:29]
David Spade
That's all. I think this is so much better also.
[65:32]
Dana Carvey
You're doing great.
[65:33]
David Spade
Although there was excitement being on the Tonight show with the pressure.
[65:37]
Bobby Lee
I did Leno. But anyway, let's move on.
[65:39]
Dana Carvey
And it would be a game changer.
[65:40]
David Spade
Next. I've been at the Comedy Store, you know, people having a good time. Please welcome his first time here on the Tonight Show.
[65:47]
Dana Carvey
You know, Bobby, we had a viewer question.
[65:51]
Bobby Lee
Okay.
[65:51]
Dana Carvey
Roughly how many pubes do you have under a TH000 or over?
[65:55]
Bobby Lee
It's interesting. I have none now.
[65:57]
Dana Carvey
That's interesting.
[65:59]
Bobby Lee
It's interesting because I have none now.
[66:00]
Dana Carvey
That's true.
[66:01]
Bobby Lee
Okay.
[66:01]
Dana Carvey
Okay.
[66:03]
Bobby Lee
The other night, had a meal there. I. I've never before. And they have free razors back there. And so I took all five razors, I dipped them in the little, little bucket, and I had hat. I went at it and I even did the. You know what I mean? And I went, you know, CU. The mirror.
[66:18]
Dana Carvey
And I did the whole thing at where?
[66:20]
David Spade
Clip. Clip this.
[66:25]
Dana Carvey
What's.
[66:26]
Bobby Lee
We spot if we're in there naked.
[66:27]
David Spade
We spot if.
[66:29]
Bobby Lee
If you're in there naked ever. Dude, don't say hi. It's weird.
[66:31]
Dana Carvey
It's so weird.
[66:33]
David Spade
It's a male.
[66:35]
Dana Carvey
Wait. Which brings my next question. He leans into the audience. He goes, what's up, brother? He says he does a little crowd work. And then he leaned over, he goes, you're cute, dude. He kissed him on the lips when I was in the back of the room.
[66:44]
Bobby Lee
Okay, I don't. I don't know if that was a question, but.
[66:47]
Dana Carvey
No, it was an observation.
[66:48]
David Spade
It seems more like an interrogation. Is there a question you were.
[66:54]
Dana Carvey
No, it says here, I understand. No, I was giving you a compliment that you were at the Comedy Store and you do. Well. And I would say, in my life, when I run around, people ask me the most for tickets for you or Theo. So if they say, hey, Bobby Lee's going on, I had someone call me and say, can you get me into the Comedy Store? And I go, oh, I'm not there. They go, no, I know Bobby's there now. Can you get me. And in. I'm like, call somebody to get you in to see this idiot. No offense.
[67:23]
Bobby Lee
I've done it for you.
[67:23]
Dana Carvey
Okay, good.
[67:24]
David Spade
That's not a put down.
[67:25]
Dana Carvey
No, it is. So. So you're very charming. So when you guys. You guys do your show, it's good. People really, like, they. I don't know why they gravitate to you, but they do.
[67:36]
David Spade
We see. Do you. Do you look at the charts, Bobby? Do you ever look at the charts, the podcast?
[67:41]
Bobby Lee
I don't. I don't. Because, you know, I think that it's. I'm just gonna probably do it until I can't do it anymore. Right. Why would you stop doing it Unless it changes. We don't know what.
[67:49]
Dana Carvey
It's pretty easy. Sleep till three.
[67:52]
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
[67:53]
Dana Carvey
And then you just roll around and mumble on your podcast. It's not a bad life. You roll down the store.
[67:58]
Bobby Lee
You guys. You guys enjoy doing this?
[68:00]
David Spade
No, I hate repeating myself. Like, stand up. The toughest part for me is we. We've managed to, you know, make a truce.
[68:09]
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
[68:09]
David Spade
To share the stage. We get along fine. But, you know, repeating yourself in standup is work. But this is all. Being live in the moment, maybe with a few notes is. Is fun because it's. That's happening in real time. That's.
[68:24]
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
[68:24]
Dana Carvey
The worst things I've asked you were notes. It's better to just talk.
[68:29]
Bobby Lee
Well, I think so. Yeah.
[68:30]
David Spade
Yeah. It's better to just.
[68:31]
Dana Carvey
But it's hard. Do you have any prep? Like when I came in. Do you have any prep.
[68:35]
Bobby Lee
No.
[68:35]
Dana Carvey
No. Oh, yeah. You weren't even there when I came.
[68:37]
David Spade
Well, this is what I asked Andrew when I went.
[68:39]
Dana Carvey
Oh, sorry. When I went in. When I went in to do the podcast.
[68:43]
David Spade
Yeah.
[68:43]
Dana Carvey
And I wasn't supposed to tell the story.
[68:44]
David Spade
Well, you went in with those.
[68:45]
Dana Carvey
I went to see Bad Friends.
[68:46]
David Spade
And I go, I couldn't get on the main.
[68:48]
Dana Carvey
I said, says. I says to him, I says. I says, all right, we're doing it one day. Do you want to hear this?
[68:54]
Bobby Lee
I'm here. And I go, I know what you're gonna bring you. I apologize.
[69:00]
David Spade
There's a lot of. Can I say this? Do you want to hear this? There's a lot of that today. Go ahead. I want to hear this.
[69:04]
Dana Carvey
No, I was doing Bad Friends, and the night before, he says. He texts me and he says, hey, can you not do it today? Do you mind doing it tomorrow? We could do. I go, I have a flight. I could do probably one to two. Let's Say. He says, great. Thank you. That really helps me. I get there at 12:30 in case you were a little early today, which is very sweet. In case they're ready. Let's knock it out. I see Andrew and he's like this. I go, what? He goes, he's not here. And I go, oh, I can wait. And he goes, I don't know when he'll be here. And I go, oh, I'm sure it's fine. And then the other guys that work there, you know, of. You know, the interns, they go, well, why are you so sad during this story I'm missing? This is. I've never listened that long in my life. I always talk.
[69:50]
David Spade
I had a fake listening face, too.
[69:51]
Bobby Lee
Yeah, you did. Right?
[69:54]
Dana Carvey
You know what?
[69:55]
Bobby Lee
You have a very good fake listening face.
[69:57]
David Spade
I know, I know.
[69:58]
Dana Carvey
Watch this one.
[70:00]
Bobby Lee
Really good.
[70:01]
David Spade
And I don't have a. I'm listening to you listen.
[70:03]
Dana Carvey
Yeah, yeah, I had that finish.
[70:08]
David Spade
It's a little judgy story.
[70:10]
Dana Carvey
No, it's got 25 more minutes. I'm a third way through it. So anyway, story was he was a little late and then he came in.
[70:18]
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
[70:19]
Dana Carvey
But it was a fun 30 minutes late. Yeah.
[70:21]
David Spade
I have a question.
[70:22]
Dana Carvey
Dana would have hit the roof. Dana does not play games.
[70:26]
David Spade
Yeah, I'm pretty uptight most of the time.
[70:28]
Dana Carvey
Yeah.
[70:29]
David Spade
So when you. I got to know you guys from clips.
[70:32]
Dana Carvey
Right.
[70:32]
David Spade
I mean, YouTube clips initially. And so I see Andrew doing the most racist thing ever of a white guy doing like. Like crazy over the top. And then you do the thousand yard stare.
[70:45]
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
[70:46]
David Spade
And it. It. It's instantly hilarious. Hilarious. I don't know what. That combo of him being that foul and ridiculous and then that fate face. Do you know how funny that is or did it start out serious?
[71:01]
Bobby Lee
No, it. It's the instinct of that. Yeah.
[71:04]
David Spade
The stillness of it.
[71:06]
Bobby Lee
You know, staring, you know, I mean, it's like. You know, I think Theo and I had a thing where he said something. I forgot what it was, but it was so ridiculous. So you just kind of look at him for a good seven seconds to let it sit. You know what I mean?
[71:20]
David Spade
Yeah.
[71:20]
Dana Carvey
And then he starts to backtrack how.
[71:22]
Bobby Lee
Ridiculous that really is.
[71:24]
Dana Carvey
Yeah.
[71:24]
Bobby Lee
And you just. You don't count your mind, but it's an instinctual thing. You know, how to do it. God, you talking about.
[71:29]
Dana Carvey
It's. It works.
[71:30]
David Spade
But I've never seen something that potent where the bow is going back with Andrew and then. And then to the release of someone who's clearly just saying, did I just See that? It's like the stillness of it getting a huge. Done that little bit like Charlie Chap.
[71:45]
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
[71:46]
David Spade
Yeah.
[71:47]
Dana Carvey
Well, Bobby, thank you. And you are. You look great. You. You're.
[71:52]
David Spade
You talk great.
[71:53]
Dana Carvey
We. You look great and you cut your hair and you honestly look 10 years younger. I don't know how great. And anything else.
[72:00]
Bobby Lee
Can I plug some things?
[72:01]
Dana Carvey
Yeah, plug some things.
[72:02]
David Spade
Let's go plug it all.
[72:04]
Dana Carvey
You'll be at the Comedy Store one night.
[72:06]
David Spade
No.
[72:07]
Bobby Lee
Well, so, I mean, eventually I'm gonna do. So if you check out my Hulu special when it comes out, do you have a title? I'm gonna call it Finally.
[72:15]
Dana Carvey
Oh, that's good.
[72:16]
Bobby Lee
Do you know why I've never done one before?
[72:17]
Dana Carvey
Before?
[72:18]
Bobby Lee
Oh, I've never done a special before.
[72:20]
Dana Carvey
Yeah.
[72:20]
David Spade
Where are you going to shoot it?
[72:22]
Bobby Lee
San Diego. Balboa Theater.
[72:23]
Dana Carvey
Did you not do it yet?
[72:24]
Bobby Lee
Okay, I do. In January.
[72:26]
Dana Carvey
I said, oh, you haven't done it yet? And then. Oh, I thought it comes out in January.
[72:30]
Bobby Lee
No, I'm gonna do it in January.
[72:31]
Dana Carvey
Because I did mine. They. They hold it for a while and that's.
[72:34]
Bobby Lee
Mine will come out in three years.
[72:36]
Dana Carvey
They do take a while to come out.
[72:37]
Bobby Lee
Okay, well, it's gonna come out eventually.
[72:39]
David Spade
Well, that's Amazon Prime. He's on Hulu, which.
[72:41]
Dana Carvey
But Hulu sometimes holds them too.
[72:43]
Bobby Lee
Do what's better, Tana.
[72:44]
David Spade
Hulu is a slightly bigger deal. I'll talk to you Amazon Prime.
[72:48]
Dana Carvey
Yeah.
[72:50]
David Spade
Anyone get on?
[72:52]
Dana Carvey
Look what you've started infighting.
[72:54]
David Spade
You've seen Dandelion?
[72:56]
Bobby Lee
What?
[72:56]
David Spade
You've. Oh, never mind.
[72:57]
Bobby Lee
My favorite movie in the world. Is it a movie?
[72:59]
David Spade
His special is called Dandelion. What do you think of this?
[73:02]
Bobby Lee
So good. Dandelion's great.
[73:03]
David Spade
Yeah, it was a great special.
[73:04]
Bobby Lee
I saw it three times.
[73:05]
Dana Carvey
I'm giving you this.
[73:06]
Bobby Lee
Is it out. A very good listening face.
[73:09]
Dana Carvey
I'm giving you the stare down.
[73:10]
Bobby Lee
Oh, you are? You know, I watch you so much that I don't think I need to sit down.
[73:14]
Dana Carvey
There you go. Thank you.
[73:15]
Bobby Lee
There we go.
[73:15]
David Spade
Does either of you ever sit down for a big heap a night of standup specials? Cuz usually, you know how the. Not really, you know, the rabbit gets out of the hat. I'm looking for.
[73:24]
Bobby Lee
I have one last question, but can I ask him a question?
[73:26]
Dana Carvey
Yeah, sure.
[73:27]
Bobby Lee
How come you're never around the clubs?
[73:28]
Dana Carvey
Yeah. Why don't you do a set over there?
[73:31]
David Spade
Because there's a lot of reasons, but for me, I never really liked group shows because when comedians go on and unless they're really Good friends. Like, I could go on a group show with you guys. But generally all after a while, it's like either staff or people walk back, say, I thought you were one of the best ones out there tonight. Or it becomes a comedy competition. You know, who killed last night? You know, and it's supposed to be. It's supposed to be like open mic and I'm gonna try new material. Oh, everyone throws that away and you know.
[74:02]
Dana Carvey
Right. It's hard to go bomb. It's hard to bomb when some of your friends in the room. But actually, usually when we're back in the green room, nobody really leaves to go watch somebody. It's usually everyone bullshits.
[74:13]
Bobby Lee
Yes.
[74:14]
Dana Carvey
They come back and you think, oh, no. They all watch and judge and they're like, they don't even know you're on or not.
[74:18]
Bobby Lee
So, Dana, when you were on the road, do you two. Because do you do new jokes in front of that many people?
[74:24]
Dana Carvey
Yeah. Where do you practice?
[74:25]
Bobby Lee
Yeah, where do you practice?
[74:26]
David Spade
If I do. If I go six months without doing it. If I do do two or three sets, I feel pretty good. But the first set's kind of rough after six months of not doing it.
[74:35]
Bobby Lee
Okay, so I did two or three.
[74:37]
David Spade
Yeah. Well, I just sort of put down my sword at a certain while. I just went. I was at one point kind of playing a different game, like doing regular stand up. So now I've kind of tabled that. So I'm just going to do Trump or Biden or Scarface and I'll go for 10 minutes, 15 minutes. I'm just gonna ride the wave of what I really like to do.
[74:58]
Bobby Lee
Oh, I see.
[74:59]
David Spade
Rather than try to be a stand up.
[75:01]
Bobby Lee
Yeah, but it was a clip of yours. It was exactly. But there's a clip of yours. I forgot what the bit was about. Rockets or something. It had something to do with the space or something. But it was a. It was. I'm being real. It was a stand up joke. That was so good. And I thought my. I thought to myself, wow, that guy's so good. He does. Always been good. Yeah.
[75:19]
Dana Carvey
And he doesn't do it. Then we do a gig together. Minutes or say it again.
[75:23]
Bobby Lee
I thought, this is done now.
[75:24]
Dana Carvey
We are. We're cutting all this now. This is all on the editing room floor.
[75:29]
Bobby Lee
Oh, it is.
[75:30]
David Spade
No, it doesn't matter. I don't feel like I'm on a podcast.
[75:34]
Dana Carvey
You're one of the fun ones because I think you're hilarious. I watch you. I'll stop and watch your act when we're there. I always like talking to you. We talk. Sometimes we talk real in the back, which is very odd.
[75:46]
David Spade
That's okay.
[75:46]
Dana Carvey
I like that.
[75:47]
Bobby Lee
How do you feel about that?
[75:48]
Dana Carvey
I like it because.
[75:49]
Bobby Lee
Here, I'll tell you why. Okay. I do this with you specifically.
[75:53]
Dana Carvey
Yeah.
[75:53]
Bobby Lee
And don't take this the wrong way.
[75:55]
Dana Carvey
I will.
[75:56]
Bobby Lee
Okay. But there's something about you that reminds me of me. Not that you're that much older than me, but. But a couple years.
[76:07]
Dana Carvey
I don't know how old I am.
[76:08]
David Spade
I know, I know the gap, but I'm not going to say.
[76:10]
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah. But you are a little older than me. Right. And I. I just. There are times, especially in specific topics, like I want to know your advice. Yeah, yeah. That's all.
[76:19]
Dana Carvey
But we do have normal talks, and I like it because I think everyone thinks you're more of a goofball than me. So I think when you're on stage, you're very funny, and when you're back there, you do goofy stuff. And you're a good laugher. You're a good laugher. Here you laugh at us. Very sweet. And it's always good to hang out with someone that laughs. Some comedians, very tight with the laughs. You know, they don't laugh anything you say. They just laugh at their own stuff or whatever. So you're fun to talk to. You're one of the ones fun to talk to there. So if we. We can just. Without trying and to be funny, we just talk. It's fun.
[76:53]
David Spade
I think that you. The skill set that you have to have, no matter what kind of comedian you are, you have to have social iq, being able to read the room. And so when you hang out with comedians, if you're at a party, it's really boring or some award thing, and you're with regular people, and then a comedian comes in, it's always. They know with the elephant in the room is that's the wrong thing that person wore. Or this is the worst part of the show. They should have cut this. And so I find comedians just a very enjoyable. There is a serious.
[77:23]
Bobby Lee
A bond.
[77:24]
David Spade
Yeah.
[77:24]
Bobby Lee
There is a bond that you have when you're in, like a regular place and then you see a comic walk in, you're like, oh, oh. You know what I mean? Like, better now.
[77:33]
Dana Carvey
Like a showbiz party, you run to the comics.
[77:35]
Bobby Lee
Right, Right.
[77:36]
Dana Carvey
I have a question about your. You have a podcast guest called Tiger Town or something. Right. Super Belly. And on that one is actually a good number. How long do you tape those? How Long. Is. Is a regular guest take or is it varied?
[77:51]
Bobby Lee
Well, it's been around for 10 years almost now. We've done over 500 episodes.
[77:55]
Dana Carvey
I know. I. I did that one a long time ago too.
[77:57]
David Spade
Yeah.
[77:57]
Bobby Lee
And you did during COVID and I do it every Monday. What's great about Tigertown, Tiger Belly is. What's great about it is I've set it up so that I literally open.
[78:13]
Dana Carvey
My eyes, walk down the stairs, walk.
[78:14]
Bobby Lee
Down the stairs, sit down. I don't know who the guests are during the day.
[78:19]
Dana Carvey
You're the worst.
[78:21]
Bobby Lee
Literally, like one time I sat down and then Carrot Topped walked in. I'm like, who, Carrot Tops? You know what I mean? Carrot Top. And then you do it. You know what I mean?
[78:29]
Dana Carvey
And you have some backup. Now you have about six people there.
[78:32]
Bobby Lee
That's another thing I've done is I've gotten two or three cast of characters.
[78:36]
Dana Carvey
Yeah.
[78:36]
Bobby Lee
Like, you got to have the one that's kind of like. You know what I mean?
[78:39]
Dana Carvey
Yeah.
[78:39]
Bobby Lee
And then you have the Smart Alex.
[78:41]
Dana Carvey
Like a show. It's a full show.
[78:42]
Bobby Lee
It's a show. So you don't have to carry the.
[78:44]
Dana Carvey
You're the anchor, but you. Whatever you say works.
[78:47]
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
[78:48]
Dana Carvey
But you can wait for your spots.
[78:49]
Bobby Lee
Yeah. Now with Bad Friends is hard because that's where you have to be completely. Because Andrew's so fast.
[78:57]
Dana Carvey
Right. And he will bust your balls on any turn.
[78:59]
Bobby Lee
Right. So it's like.
[79:01]
Dana Carvey
Yeah.
[79:01]
Bobby Lee
I mean. You know what I mean? And it's hard.
[79:03]
Dana Carvey
Hard. Yeah.
[79:04]
Bobby Lee
Sometimes he'll go, right? And I'll go, nothing. Right, right, right, right. And then you're like, oh, I'm. And then you start. I'm drowning.
[79:14]
Dana Carvey
Yeah.
[79:14]
Bobby Lee
Sometimes I go. Sometimes at the end of it, I'll go, we can't. We can't enter that one. The whole thing. And we don't.
[79:22]
Dana Carvey
Oh, really?
[79:23]
Bobby Lee
Because there's a total backpack.
[79:24]
Dana Carvey
But he's pretty good about.
[79:26]
David Spade
Really just people like that bail on the entire.
[79:28]
Bobby Lee
We have one episode. Okay.
[79:30]
David Spade
I didn't know you could do that.
[79:32]
Bobby Lee
This. Try this. This is fun. We have one episode we did early on where it was going so horribly, we went, you know what? Let's do one two hour episode where we can say whatever we want. I'm talking about. You know what I mean?
[79:48]
David Spade
Yeah.
[79:49]
Bobby Lee
Anything foul, racist. Everything cancelable. Every line was a cancel. Right. It was so freeing. We left, so.
[79:59]
Dana Carvey
Yeah, of course.
[80:01]
Bobby Lee
We left so hard. It's in a vault somewhere. I don't know who has it. Right. But if that goes out. Oh, oh, Big trouble. Big trouble. Little China. I mean. Yeah. But there is something therapeutic about it. It was really freeing.
[80:15]
David Spade
Yeah.
[80:16]
Bobby Lee
To be able to just say whatever you wanted to say. You know what I mean?
[80:19]
Dana Carvey
Yeah. It sounds like a blast. Yeah. By the way, your show.
[80:21]
David Spade
If I do behind the scenes with Friends.
[80:23]
Dana Carvey
Dane is funny.
[80:24]
Bobby Lee
Really?
[80:25]
David Spade
D all stuff is B stuff.
[80:28]
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
[80:28]
Dana Carvey
That is the ricketiest piece of table. I'm sorry you're dealing with this.
[80:31]
Bobby Lee
You know what? And I. I have to say, what a beautiful place.
[80:36]
Dana Carvey
This.
[80:37]
Bobby Lee
Wait. Because I went to your. I've been to your other places.
[80:39]
Dana Carvey
Oh, yeah.
[80:40]
Bobby Lee
And haven't been to this one.
[80:41]
Dana Carvey
You like this one?
[80:42]
Bobby Lee
Well, you don't probably know. People don't know that you're shooting in your house. Is that what it is?
[80:45]
Dana Carvey
No, I don't care.
[80:46]
David Spade
No, we know.
[80:46]
Bobby Lee
Okay.
[80:47]
Dana Carvey
I thought. You're joking.
[80:48]
Bobby Lee
No, I'm being real.
[80:49]
Dana Carvey
Okay.
[80:49]
Bobby Lee
Your last place was not nice. But this one. Yeah, that's all right. Right.
[80:57]
Dana Carvey
Well, Bobby, I will tell you. Thank you for having me. I'll take out for dinner soon. You're sometimes tough to get to dinner. Because I like to go early.
[81:03]
Bobby Lee
Okay.
[81:04]
Dana Carvey
But thanks for coming here.
[81:07]
David Spade
It is a problem for nightclub comics.
[81:09]
Dana Carvey
I don't say it's not 5:30.
[81:11]
David Spade
No. But I like to eat. I would eat at 5:30.
[81:13]
Dana Carvey
Yeah, he likes it.
[81:14]
Bobby Lee
Thanks for having me on, guys. That was fun.
[81:18]
Dana Carvey
Guys. We just walked. Bobby Lee basically kicked him out because he could have gone on forever. He's so goddamn hilarious. I love the awkwardness and funniness, but he's just. We're all weird and it's very funny. Love the dude. Very sweet guy. He was just pulling out and I said, you should turn your car around. He goes, no, I can back out. I go, no.
[81:39]
David Spade
Well, there's a driveway that's a little tricky. I get right at the gate, it.
[81:42]
Dana Carvey
Gets small and I go. It's kind of hard. And he goes, no, no. I'll just back out. Heather And I went to the window and watched him just go. Just took his mirror off. And I was like. Anyway, I told him, I'll do some spots at the store and work it off. But super funny. You laugh. Dana. He's a great guy. Right.
[82:01]
David Spade
Well, as you saw, folks, he's the kind of guest you don't need to do any prep.
[82:06]
Dana Carvey
None.
[82:06]
David Spade
So I did. None. Because I'd seen. I know enough of him. I've seen him enough to know that. That, you know, he's. He's just. Well, first of all, there's very few Comedians who have a. A real great laugh. Usually we have a pretty good laugh.
[82:20]
Dana Carvey
Yeah.
[82:21]
David Spade
But we're the ones trying to get the laugh. He's really funny and has an incredible laugh. So he brought all this energy right away. And so that was just went by very fast.
[82:32]
Dana Carvey
Like I was saying, he's a fun comic because he will laugh at your stuff, and he does. Does go back and forth with you, and it keeps the balls in the air. And when you're interviewing, he does so many podcasts, he knows not to just sit there and give mouse eater lancers. He answers, tells a story, laughs, stands up. That's what you want. So we, I mean, for a guy, we've been talking about having him in, and I see him out, and Santino's coming in soon. It's like we kind of waited on Theo and Tim Dillon and these guys for this chunk of shows, and they're going to be great.
[83:04]
David Spade
We have our bucket list.
[83:05]
Dana Carvey
List.
[83:06]
David Spade
You know, I would say I learned from him. And you did a little bit, too. But it is kind of interesting. Like, like, maybe I shouldn't say this, but I feel like I just want to say this. I hope it's okay. That's me illustrating what I was. My point was it's very much. You lean in. Even you did. I don't know if I should bring this up, but. So when he did that precursor. It's good podcasting. Maybe I shouldn't really bring this up, but it was one line.
[83:32]
Dana Carvey
Sometimes people that I see on podcasts that don't do a lot of them or that aren't that interesting go. They intentionally go, I've never told you this story. I've never told the story on podcast before. And everyone's like. And they're like, anyway, here's my dumb story. And it's. But they, they want you to be like, where's the clip guy? Get ready. And then they, you know, bore the out.
[83:52]
David Spade
I probably shouldn't say. This is a really good one. Yeah, I'm gonna get in trouble if I say this, and I have 10 of those in my pocket. But I, I, I have followed my own advice.
[84:03]
Dana Carvey
I like that we finally turned the air conditioner after me and Bobby in this sweatshop.
[84:07]
David Spade
I sold this jean jacket, and I took, I took it off I want T shirt today because it was so, so hot. And now I'm glad I took it because it's so cold.
[84:14]
Dana Carvey
But anyway, that was Bobby. I had a blast. Dana had a blast. Right?
[84:18]
David Spade
Love.
[84:19]
Dana Carvey
And we'll look forward to the other guys like Santino, Tim, Theo. They're all coming in soon and we're gonna get this wave of dudes and and thanks for watching.
