Bobby
You grew up in a cult. Yeah. Today I'm doing something a little different, but I basically put a little Google Doc out on my Instagram, and I was like, hey, if you are a fan of mine and you want to come be on the show, apply here. And they have no idea that when they get here, I'm actually hiring for a job. It's a fake job. It's not real. But I still want them to interview because they needed a purpose here today, and I felt like that was a good way to get to know them. So I'm just gonna confuse them and see what they think. Right this way.

Thank you for applying for this job.
Carmen
So what is the. What is the role that I'm supposed to be fulfilling?
Bobby
I'm looking for a new CEO of my company.
Carmen
I feel like I fit that well. I feel like I'm very persistent.
Bobby
Do you feel like you are?
Carmen
Yeah.
Bobby
So if it was day one today, and you're gonna. You have to do something that's gonna fix every. It's gonna make me so much money. It's gonna. It's gonna change everything. What are you gonna do? What's your first change? That's your mission.

First change. Damn. Yeah. We failed. Yeah. We're out of money. We're going bankrupt. Because I cannot think of nothing.
Bobby
Okay.
Carmen
Yeah.
Bobby
That's. That's all you've got?
Carmen
Yeah. We're not getting hired.
Bobby
What? Let's just start. Well, tell me about yourself, Carmen. I am currently a chemist working at NASA. Yeah. Science. That's crazy. You work at NASA? Yeah. I've never met anyone who worked at NASA. Yeah. What do you do there? So I basically, I approve and monitor different chemicals that come in. How did you get a job at NASA? Well, I went to school for chemistry, and I think I got the position I'm at now because they saw my chemistry background, so. Yeah. Really cool. Yeah, very smart. Tony, thank you for applying for this job.
Toni
Of course. Thank you for posting it.
Bobby
Yeah. What Makes you feel like you're ready to run a whole company.
Toni
So I've ran a company before, and it was pretty successful. Then Covid happened, so that kind of happened to the world. The world. But this time I'm, like, really passionate about it. So I was almost £300 and lost all of it naturally. And I just want to continue to motivate other women to start and do it. And I get a lot of requests from women asking me how I do it, when I do it, and things that help them, and I just feel like it's a good time to promote that.
Bobby
And what do you do? You have, like, a workout program you.
Toni
So I don't do a workout program just because I'm not there. And I also think that every woman's body is different versus just following a certain program. But right now, I just post content, post what I eat, how I've lost the weight, like tips and tricks and things like that.
Bobby
That's pretty cool. Very, very cool. Tony, I'm gonna keep writing very important stuff here.
Toni
Okay.
Bobby
I like your makeup, too. Thank you. How do you spell your name?
Alaina
A, L, A, I, N, A. I was close.
Bobby
Okay. So thank you for applying for this job. Of course. Yeah. Why do you think you should be hired?
Alaina
Honestly, I feel like no one has ever been walk. I've never walked away from something and someone been like, oh, yeah, like, that wasn't worth my time. Like, it's. I feel like a little bit of a slow burn sometimes, but it's like it just gets better and better.
Bobby
And what. What is the part of the job that you're looking forward to the most?
Alaina
I think probably just becoming a better person. I know it's kind of cliche, but I feel like every time I hang out with people that I think are cool, I become.
Bobby
No, no. That was amazing. But, yeah, I'm hiring for a new CEO of my company. What other questions do I have? How old are you?
Michael
I'm 29 years old.
Bobby
29? Oh, you're almost 30. When's your birthday?
Michael
October.
Bobby
Oh, God, you're getting close.
Michael
I feel like 29 is worse than 30.
Bobby
Why?
Michael
Because, like, the horizon is near. But then once you're 30. Yeah, you're young again.
Bobby
Okay. You keep telling yourself that.
Michael
I mean, I age. What makes you think that my hair is small?
Bobby
I didn't want to say that. I wasn't going to point it out myself. But you are bald. Do, like, you want to have hair?
Michael
Like, I've gotten used to it. It's a very Nice, low maintenance lifestyle.
Bobby
But if I was bald.
Michael
I started shaving when I was 23.
Bobby
Damn, Tommy, I'm sorry.
Michael
It's okay.
Bobby
Do you ever think about going to Turkey?
Michael
I've thought about it, but that's just not for me.
Bobby
Why?
Michael
It's just like, I feel like you should play the hand you're dealt.
Bobby
I think you could consider Turkey. It's fine if you're bald, though. I think it's fine. Do you have a girlfriend?
Michael
No. Maybe you should go to Turkey to get a girlfriend. Yeah, like, I feel like I wouldn't want to date a person that wouldn't like me because I'm bald. Girls will use a lot of interesting euphemisms to describe this. They. They've told me that it's marketable, which to me just means they like it. And some. If a girl likes me, she'll just, like, rub my head, which is like. I don't think that would happen if I had hair.
Bobby
I think it could happen if you had hair.
Michael
Maybe it'd still be.
Bobby
No, it's fine. It's fine to be bald. Dr. Phil's bald and he's doing great.
Michael
Yeah. Yeah. He's kind of like my North Star.
Bobby
Is he? I don't know anybody else who's bald, to be honest.
Michael
Michael Jordan.
Bobby
Damn. You're amongst great people.
Michael
Yeah. The Two goats.
Bobby
Okay, so why. Why do you think you'd be a good fit for this job? I think I'd be a good fit for the job because.
Michael
I think I.
Carmen
Kind of just know what I have.
Bobby
To do to get things done. What is the job? I'm around the company. I'm going to run the company. Who told you this? Huh? Who told you the job title? I just like to shoot with eye. Yes. I don't think he's coming from my job. Huh?
Michael
I don't think he's coming for my job.
Bobby
He is. Are you coming for his job? If it's available. Oh, my God. Austin. Not. No, no, no. It's definitely not. Austin is really good. Except for. What could you. How much do you charge? Less. Less. Okay. Well, you can. Do you have. Do you know how to film stuff? Do you have cameras? Well, not like those. I just use my phone camera. Yeah. No, I don't think you can have the job, John. I feel like the biggest question is, like, what can we do to make a viral clip today? Make ourselves relevant again?
Carmen
I'm lost on that one.
Bobby
I don't know. What was everybody else. What was everybody else saying for the job? Title. They didn't know and you knew?
Carmen
No, but like, what position did they say they were applying for?
Bobby
They didn't know they were applying for a job at all. How'd you know you were applying for a job? Because you told me that this was an interview. Oh, you were just guessing? Yes. Oh, you don't know anything. That's good. I thought somebody was out there snitching, just as lost as everybody else. Damn, you guys all played off so well. Every single person. I'm like, who told you? Are you telling them? Austin? He must be telling them in the back. But if I'm the only one who said it, then why would he be telling everybody no? Because they kind of go along with it for a second, but then they like tell me they knew that it wasn't. You went along with it too long.
Lexi

Bobby
Oh, that's cool.
Vardon
Yeah.
Bobby
What do you stream about?
Vardon
Twitch.
Bobby
You stream about Twitch?
Vardon
No, no, no. I stream on Twitch. I stream about, like, helping viewers raise, I hope. Viewers.
Bobby
What does that mean?
Vardon
So, like, I. There's a viewer joins, and then they're like, yo, I need help with a girl. And then I'm like, yo, nothing weird. Nothing weird.
Bobby
Okay. I didn't. I didn't think anything weird.
Vardon
I just want.
Bobby
Just throw it out there. Got it. Nothing weird.
Vardon
Nothing weird.
Bobby
Well, tell me more about yourself.
I recently learned that I have a third nipple. I didn't know that.
How the. How did you.
I never noticed it.
Where is it? It's like.
It's like right there. And my doctor was like, that's a third nipple. And I was like, I thought it was a pimple that I had my whole life.
What does this mean for you?
I don't know. I don't think anything.
Are you going to get it removed?
No. Do you think people do nipple removal.
Surgeries just when they have three of them? I would imagine.
It's really tiny, though. It looks like a pimple.
How did he discover it was a nipple?
He was like, that's a nipple. And I was like, really? Yeah.
Are you insecure about it?
Yeah. I mean, now. Well, he was like, do you know what that is? Which is a really ominous question for a doctor to ask you. You know, I was like. And he was like, it's a third nipple. And I was like, that's better than what I was worried you were going to say.
So you were happy?
Yeah. I was like, I'm not going to die. I was like, you can't die from a third nipple, right? He was like, no, I can't believe you.
I think you can get them removed.
I guess so.
But, like, you know why you're going to keep it. I'm not judging you for having A third nipple? Yes.
I'm going to keep it.
Okay.
I've had it this whole time. Should I get it removed?
I just don't know. I mean, you could say. I think it'd be just as funny if you told people I had a third nipple. You don't have to have this.
A former third nipple. Haver is a good title.
Wow. Is that your face? Is that your fiance, girlfriend, wife.
Carmen
Partner?
Bobby
What does that mean?
Carmen
Significant other, Baby, mother.
Bobby
Exactly.
Vardon
X.
Carmen
All of the above.
Bobby
Oh, my God.
Carmen
We're having a identity crisis.
Bobby
Yeah, but we're working.
Carmen
We're working out. That's why she's here.
Bobby
This is crazy. What's your name? Jojo. Jojo. What are you from your perspective right now? We're asking co parents, like with benefits. Oh, my God. Jeez. Benefits?
Lexi
We have a very good, like, healthy relationship.
Carmen
Yes.
Bobby
Why aren't you together?
Lexi
He's had some complications.
Bobby
Yeah, we worked them out.
Carmen
Yeah.
Bobby
So when you're back together.
Carmen
Yeah, possibly.
Bobby
I don't know if he's thinks you are.
Carmen
She's here. We lost a couple rock, paper, scissor battles. And that's why.
Bobby
That's why.
Carmen
That's really why we stopped being together.
Bobby
Wow. Doesn't.
Carmen
Don't get me wrong.
Bobby
Love his baby mama.
Carmen
I do love my baby mom. That's why she's here.
Bobby
She brought you a child.
Carmen
I know.
Bobby
Yeah, we love her.
Carmen
We do love her. So she. We took a trip together. Good vacation.
Bobby
What have you done so far?
Carmen
Nothing. Besides come here.
Michael
You don't. You don't know.
Bobby
I don't have anything against you being bald.
Michael
I mean, you're. I feel like you're actively looking for alternative pathways for me, even though I expressed my comfort.
Bobby
Okay, Dr. Phil. No, I just. I didn't even mean to call you that. It just happened every time I. Listen.
Michael
Accident. I thought it was Tommy. It's Michael.
Bobby
Okay. Michael. Michael. Do you go by anything?
Michael
In college my nickname was Dirt.
Bobby
Do you go any by anything you'd like to be called?
Michael
Dirt was a good nickname. It was.
Bobby
Why did you.
Michael
It was like Dirty Mike for short. Like, did you ever see the film the Other Guy starring Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg?
Bobby
Yeah.
Michael
Do you remember when the homeless people had an orgy and Will Ferrell's Prius and they said thanks for the F shack sign? Dirty Mike and the boys.
Bobby
That's where your name came from.
Michael
Where my nickname in college came from.
Bobby
That's weird. You had weird friends. What college did you go to?
Michael
Notre Dame.
Bobby
I think that's a smart person's school. I can't believe I'm sitting here with a man with three nipples.
Harry Styles is four.
Really?
Yeah. He does? Yeah.
What do you mean? Is this. People know this?
Yeah. Google it. He. Google Harry Styles nipples and you'll get four.
Okay.
That would be a crazy thing to lie about.
Styles nipples. This is a weird search to have on my phone.
Your algorithm, Right?
He admits it.
Yeah.
Where are they?
I. I. I don't know.
Are there photos of it?
I'm pretty sure, yeah. Because he's been shirtless, so that's.
You're right, dude.
Right?
That's weird. That's probably why it's.
Yeah, it's normal. It's normal. No, three is normal. Four is weird.
That's what people say about nipples. Yeah.
I think that's why he has all those tattoos, because then it's like, it distracts.
Yeah. Do you have tattoos to distract you from. Maybe you should work on.
I should work on that.
And if, you know, a nipple die. Because I think, like, I don't want to get canceled for shaming people with three nipples.
That would. That would be a crazy thing to cancel for.
You can. Right now. I feel like you can give me the pass to shame people.
Yeah. You have the third nipple pass.
Thank you.
If there was a slur for people with third nipples, you'd be allowed to say it.
I appreciate that. I probably have one. You didn't know you had one.
Exactly.
I think more people have them than they know, probably. You had no idea.
I had no idea. No.
Three nipples.
Yeah. But, like, it's. Again, it's. It's really small, so it's like.
I just don't get what. It has the whole anatomy of a regular nipple, though.
It's like a little pink dot. So it's like if you imagine a nipple that was really small.
I don't want to see it. No.
Yeah. I don't want to show it, so. That's good.
Good news.
Alaina
I grew up. This is like a long story. I grew up in a cult on a farm.
Bobby
Oh, this is actually. This is whole thing. You grew up in a cult?
Alaina
Yeah.
Bobby
What was that like? It was like a Mormon cult or a real.
Alaina
It's similar, but it doesn't have a name. And it's like, worldwide.
Bobby
Are you okay?
Alaina
Kind of. We're getting there.
Bobby
Yeah. Oh, it's your sister, too?
Alaina
Yeah, my whole family.
Bobby
Is your family still in the cult?
Alaina
My mom left six months ago. My dad still is, so.
Bobby
Do you think he'll watch this.
Alaina
I don't know. We'll see. Probably not.
Bobby
There's.
Alaina
He does stalk my Instagram.
Bobby
Oh, maybe he will.
Alaina
He might.
Bobby
Sir, I think you should leave your cult. Yeah, I think it'll be a good idea. That's good you got out. Yeah. It's a good story to have, but.
Alaina
I'm going to be fine. We're going to be great.
Bobby
How can I help you?
Alaina
How can you help me?
Bobby
Yeah.
Alaina
I don't know.
Bobby
What should we do? Feel like I was interviewing you to apply here, but now we're interviewing me to help you. You can help me, I don't know, model or something. Help get people to see you.
Alaina
Yeah, yeah.
Bobby
Do some faces or something. I don't know how to brands. Yeah, do that. I think that'll help you. That was cute. Look, she's. She's versatile. She can laugh too. She does it all.
Alaina
She does it all.
Bobby
What do you want with your career in life? So like I said, I'm currently working at NASA. You could not want anything more than that. Huh? That's like the. But I do. It's nice. But I want to get more into like making natural cosmetics and skincare and doing more of like candle making. That more of a full time thing. You candle make like you sell candles. You side. Yeah. That's so cool. What's your. What's your username? Flames by cb Just look on Instagram, not on my notebook. They're. They're so cute. I want a handle. I should have brought some. That's okay. I'll order one. How often do you do this? You make them yourself? They're actually really cute packaging. Thank you. I like it. That's what you want to do full time? Yeah, do that. And maybe get more into cosmetics and skin care. That's a great use of your NASA brain. That's really cool. I'm proud of you. I can't wait for your candle business to turn into something. And I can't wait for you to start your position. Not here. Because you can do way better than this. You work at NASA. That's really a cool thing. You should tell people that more. Yeah, it's a cool job to have. They're really good at like work, life, balance. My last job wasn't. Are they. That's. Yeah. It's a wild. I feel like I've never. I mean I know I've never met anyone who worked for NASA. Yeah. It's really amazing. Congratulations. Thank you. In your life. I love you. I love you too. Thank you. Thank you. How long have you guys been together? This isn't even the point of this interview at all, but I'm very excited.
Carmen
Six years.
Bobby
Six years?
Carmen
Yeah.
Bobby
That's very long time.
Carmen
I know. That's why she's my. Still my significant other. I said that. My significant other.
Bobby
I just feel like you should say she's my girlfriend.
Carmen
But I feel like we were once more. So it's like, if I say girlfriend, that's downplaying. What was it before she was my fiance. But if I say. But if I say. But if I say fiance, then that's up. Playing it. Because we're, like, in the gray area.
Bobby
Got it. This makes more sense. You should have said that from the beginning.
Carmen
I tried. But then you went to her.
Bobby
So then you. You're the reason I went to her. Because your answer was bad. You confused me.
Carmen
My answer was in the middle.
Bobby
And this all makes more sense. You guys were engaged. No longer engaged. Now you're back together, but not engaged.
Carmen
Right.
Bobby
Okay. Well, that's cute. But then you also. No, you definitely said some questionable things.
Carmen
Did I?
Bobby
Yeah. An actor with three nipples who has two weeks left to be 30.
Yeah.
What would you change about my podcast? If you could make a change right now, help me, you know, go viral again and everything, what would you do? Let's hear it.
I think it should be meaner.
Really?
Yeah. Because I feel like that's when it's really funny.
Oh, you want me to be more mean to you, too?
Not to me. To everyone else, but not to me.
Okay. Be so mean. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I. I think I kind of stopped that when people were kind of, like, taking me seriously and I was like, okay, relax. Yeah, but you think, just bring it back full force.
I feel like bring it back because people, like, now they. Now that people think it's a bit. You can be mean for real, and they'll be like, oh, she's doing a funny bit.
If I get canceled for that, what are you willing to do?
I'm going to be like, I told her not to do that. I'm really. It's really disappointing. She did that.
You're going to take. No.
I got to save face, you know?
Yeah, no, I.
But I hope you won't.
Okay. You can ask me any personal questions right now. That's something that I'm allowing.
Any personal. Okay.
As personal as you want them to be, nothing's off limits.
Would you rather you could only ever eat Jell O or you sweat Jello?
Yeah, that's off limits.
Okay. Yeah, actually, yeah, I get that it's personal.
Yeah. But it's very personal. If it was your first day on the job, what would you do to change? What's the first change you would make in my company?
Toni
Oh, and your company on. I feel like your company is successful. I don't know if I would make change more than just take, like, take strike, you know, tell you tell me what to do or, you know, anything.
Bobby
I need you to be at the top of this, so you have to make. You have to make a change.
Toni
I think I would just maybe continue, like, your marketing, like different things of your marketing.
Bobby
Maybe like the marketing idea that you.
Toni
Have different, like, types of people. Like, right now I do interview a lot of, like, mainstream people. Like, maybe stuff like this, like a lot more smaller creators and stuff like that.
Bobby
What type of smaller creators are you a creator? Do you create online? What do you create?
Toni
Fitness content.
Bobby
That's very cool.
Toni
I actually have a podcast coming out this month and so what's it called? It's going to be called all the things Fitness, health and lifestyle.
Bobby
That's. What do you. Are you going to talk about fitness, health and lifestyle? Yes. Good.
Toni
Yeah.
Bobby
It's a good start. Good name for it then.
Lexi
Thank you.
Bobby
Interview. Okay, well, I'm starting.
Toni
Yeah.
Bobby
What's your idea? Interview smaller creators. Fitness. Okay.
Vardon
How's my back stance? Trying to fix my posture?
Bobby
Posture up just a little bit more.
Vardon
Yeah.
Bobby
Okay, so first day on the job, what are you gonna change? What's the first rule you're gonna implement?
Vardon
I don't even know what I'm getting hired for, honestly.
Bobby
You're changing my brand. You're. You're reinventing the really good. You're gonna help me.
Vardon
I say drop it all. Scrap it.
Bobby
Oh, drop nothing.
Vardon
Nothing. Just scrap it all.
Bobby
Scrap the whole entire interview?
Vardon
Yeah, no, it's just.
Bobby
What should I do instead of, okay, in my opinion, I need the help.
Vardon
You do? Yeah. No, you do need the help.
Bobby
Honestly. Obviously. So what do I do next? So what are we thinking for my next step?
Vardon
Honestly, for now, just. I say scrap it all.
Bobby
Okay, so then just because. How will I pay you?
Vardon
Well, I'll take. I'll take 50. 50.
Bobby
Of course there's nothing when you scrap it all, there's no money.
Vardon
Well, I'll take what's left.
Bobby
Okay. There's gonna be nothing left when you scrap it all. So this is a stupid plan. Give me a better.
Vardon
This is a great plan because you got. You don't got a business here.
Bobby
I do.
Vardon
Where's your business.
Bobby
This is it. It's worth $4. And now you get 0 of that. If you started today, what's the first thing you would change?
Alaina
The first thing I would change? Well, I would need to see a list of what we're doing first.
Bobby
Because we're not just everything you know about me and my career, everything you.
Alaina
Know about you and your career, what.
Bobby
You would change right now.
Alaina
I think I would need to know what lights you up, first of all, because you can inspire somebody so much if you know what gets them excited.
Bobby
But you don't know that.
Alaina
Yeah. So I would need to know that. That's what I would start with.
Bobby
You can't know it. I just have to tell me right now. I just have to tell you, right. Based on everything you know, based on.
Alaina
Everything I know.
Bobby
What would you do to help my career? What change would you make?
Alaina
Help your career? Girl, I told you what I would really do. So let me think. I think I would.
Bobby
This is so hard.
Alaina
There's so many options.
Bobby
Do you want us to take an odd break while you think? Yeah. Okay. Lexi, come on. We have an ad. We have an ad to do.
Lexi
I've been sitting in my house way too much. Now that it's summer, I need to get out, like, actually go do something. I love going to concerts, and I've been looking to find the best deals. There are more than 70,000 events listed on SeatGeek, including concerts, sports, festivals, and more. Right now, you can get tickets to Beyonce, Shakira, Post Malone, and more. And what's cool is SeatGeek actually shows you which tickets are good deals. Green means good. Red means do not trust. Something I love about SeatGeek is that every ticket is backed by their buyer guarantee, so you won't get scammed by a guy named Larry in a parking lot. I also love how easy it is to navigate the app on my phone. And you know, I've got a deal for you guys. You can use code BOBBY10 for 10% off your next set of tickets at SeatGeek. That's 10% off tickets with promo code BOBBY10.

Yeah. Maybe we could just write a list of what companies are yours so we.
Bobby
Know for sure what company is mine.
Alaina
Yeah, because you said that was your company.
Bobby
That's not my company.
Alaina
Oh, I thought you said that is your company. And I was like, no, no, no.
Lexi
I don't have any companies.
Bobby
Okay, well, we can start. What would you start? If you could start a company for me.
Alaina
If I could start a company for you? Yeah, I think a modeling agency.
Lexi
Wow.
Bobby
Yeah. Why?
Alaina
Because I've wanted to start one for a while, so I think, why don't.
Bobby
You start one then?
Alaina
Oh, I want to.
Bobby
You're going to.
Alaina
Yeah. At some point. I model right now, so when I get a little older, then I would like to start it.
Bobby
What's your tip?
Alaina
My tip?
Bobby
Modeling.
Alaina
There's so many, but I would say, first of all, you just have to go into a room and pretend it's yours.
Bobby
That's it. You're doing a good job of that.
Alaina
Thank you.
Bobby
Okay, like what? What's your tip for me right now? To make me look photogenic so my sister just pulls out her phone and takes a really good picture of me. What would you say? What changes?
Alaina
Practice in the mirror, there's not just one thing, like you have to get so.
Bobby
But right now, looking at me like.
Alaina
What would you change right now? You can unbutton one of your buttons.
Bobby
Oh, it's already.
Alaina
It's not all the Way. Just one.
Bobby
No, it's like, it's. It's sewed that way.
Alaina
Okay, well, it's okay. Then you just bring your chin up a little bit. Not too high. Straight. There you go. And then drop your shoulders. And then however you turn your head, however you pose, you just keep that, like, core.
Bobby
You just look so pretty when you do it. Yeah.
Alaina
It's a lot of practice. I don't just wake up like this.
Bobby
What is your theory on the universe and our creation and everything?
So just very casual question. I kind of don't. I kind of. I used to believe stuff happened, and now I'm kind of like, I think maybe nothing happens, but I don't want that to be true. I hate that, like, belief.
I'm.
Lexi
I'm right there with you.
Bobby
Sometimes I, I, I don't want even. I went through a phase of really thinking something happened. And then I was like, yeah, but then I was like, wait. I actually liked feeling like there was purpose.
Yeah, I pre. I prefer that also. The cross is just fashion.
It, It's. No, it's had phase. It's had meanings. It's been more than thought. I was very dedicated, super Christian. And then I was like, yeah, is that. And then I was like, but wait, I need purpose.
Yeah.
Lexi
So I'm trying.
Bobby
That's how I feel about, like, being Jewish. I'm like, I loved having a bar mitzvah and I love, like, Larry David, but I feel like I'm not, like, religious. Yeah, but I like, I like making a thing out of it, you know?
Yeah, but if God came down right now, you would be.
Well, if he showed up, I'd be. I wouldn't be like, you're not real. I feel like, I guess I was wrong.
No, I'd be like, I believed my whole life. You would guess my God, I have no choice. I'm not trying to go to hell forever.
You don't think he would know you were lying?
He was like, you think he's in our head right now?
I feel like if he's real, he would be in our head. Right. He's not just, like, just some guy.
Who'S like, I hope they like me as anxiety issues. He's like, just wants people's approval.
Yeah, that's what I. That was what I had against, like, praying, like, when I got going. I'm like, I do we need to gas him up this much? Like, doesn't he know he's cool?
That's. But that's like worship. We're getting canceled today. Damn it.
I get. Well, I'm getting canceled with you then.
So I know the religious people. To be fair, I'm not shaming religious.
Vardon
No, me either.
Bobby
Just having an exactly honest conversation. Exactly real thoughts.
And I'm going to say. You told me to say all of this.
Yeah, no. And he made me say this. I'm actually just going to cut my parts out of this, and it's just going to be you talking, saying horrible things.
But I feel like I don't have the power to make you say stuff. You're the one with the podcast.
Yeah, I know.
Crazy. If I came on, I was like, you got to say all this.
No, but that's when I cut everything I said out. And it's just.
Oh, it's just me.
I have the power to do that.
Yeah. And you then, like, dub yourself in being like, no, stop saying that.
That's bad. Don't say that. Don't say things that are mean. Look, I'm doing it right now to help me save things.
You can just have that clip over and over when I'm talking.
Daniel, I don't really like how you're talking about religious people or just the things you're saying. I do feel like.
You know what, Bobby? You're right. And thank you for helping me grow. I've learned a lot from talking to you.
Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
Lexi
Now that we have that part out.
Bobby
Of the way, I don't know what to believe, Nathaniel.
I don't either.
Yeah, I do. I want. I'll tell you this much. I want to believe. And I do think something created us.
Yeah.
Because what we couldn't just showed up.
Something had to.
That something happened.
Yeah.
Right. Because it just couldn't. I don't know. It's very hard.
That's, like, the thing that, like, Ben Franklin believed. Right.
Really? He believed what?
He believed that God exists, started glasses and then dipped.
He's the guy who invented glasses.
He invent. I think he invented kites and glasses. Kites and glasses. Ben Franklin invented. Yeah, that's. That's why he's on money.
Michael
I think he's the guy that discovered.
Bobby
How to harness electricity with the kite.
That's not right.
Oh, there we.
Oh, he didn't.
I knew. I knew that.
I thought you were doing a bit.
Harry thought he invented glasses.
He wasn't allowed to write on the Constitution because he kept doing bits and they were afraid he was going to do a bid on the Constitution. That's true. That's why I like him.
I don't Believe anything you say.
You didn't believe the third. The fourth nipple thing, and then it was true.
Fourth, Harry Styles.
Yeah, No, I have three. He has. He's in the freak with four.
Harry, I don't know why he's saying these things about you. I don't agree with him. Harry, I'm so sorry for all the.
Offensive things I've been saying on this podcast.
No, it's fine. It's fine. I'm gonna leave all of them in.
Okay.
Michael
She should show you an exercise right now.
Bobby
Yeah. All right. Go ahead. Give me an exercise I should do.
Toni
Do you work out?
Bobby
No. Okay. Not at all.
Toni
Do you have a. Do you know how to squat? Like, just, like, a lot of people's form is just, like, messed up on a squat. Do you know how to squat?
Bobby
I can try.
Toni
Okay. I can make sure he gets squat. Form is good.
Bobby
Guys, we're here with Toni. She is soon to be the largest fitness influencer of the whole Internet. She's gonna help me squat. What do I do?
Toni
Okay, so just kind of stand, like, with your feet, like, aligned with your shoulders.
Bobby
Got it.
Toni
And then when you go down, if you want it glute focused, you need to, like, lean in the top of your body like that, and then you just kind of just fit into it.
Bobby
Yeah.
Toni
Yeah. Perfect. Yeah. I mean, yeah. Yeah, it was easy. You're good.
Bobby
Sound very confident.
Toni
I wouldn't, like, maybe put. Yeah, just kind of just go into it and then just sit. And then the deeper it is, the more it's going to do. This part of your butt, it's not good.
Bobby
What else should I do?
Toni
So I could show you RDL. A lot of people mess up RDLs.
Bobby
What's. What does RDL mean?
Toni
So RDL is. I don't know what the. If I don't. I don't know what the.
Bobby
You know, she just. She wants you to go to her page to find out, but it's a.
Toni
So a glute focus workout. And when you go down, a lot of people, like, just kind of drop it like this, or they don't realize they need to put their butt back to, like, make it glute focus. So you keep your feet together, and then you push your butt back as if you're, like, trying to shut a door. And then when you feel it here, you bring it back up, and then the weight always needs to, like, almost, like, chafe your legs. Does that make sense?
Bobby
Maybe. We'll see.
Toni
You got it.
Bobby
We'll find out. Oh, this is a good Weight and.
Toni
Put your legs closer together. Yep. And then same kind of like structure from the squat and then go down. But you need to, like, make your butt, like, act like there's a door back here and push your butt back. But you see your legs and do a slight bend in your knees. So like bend back and push. Shut the door with your butt. Look down. Cuz your spine needs to be straight. And then the weight still needs to, like, rub down on your knees. And then you should feel it somewhere in here. And then lift up.
Bobby
Oh.
Toni
And then not lift up. And yeah, kind of.
Bobby
I don't think that was good, but that's okay. Tony, I'm so here's your weight back, Austin. Thank you. That's very heavy. We should invest in lighter ones. Thank you so much for coming.
Toni
Absolutely. Can I give you a hug?
Bobby
Of course.
Toni
Of course. Course.
Bobby
Well, drive safe. And I can't wait to watch listen to your podcast.
Toni
I will, absolutely. Thank you, guys.
Bobby
What's your hope and dream in this world? What do you want to do?
Carmen
Well, I want to find love. That's really what I want to do, Willie.
Bobby
But on top of that, I can't help you.
Carmen
Work wise, job wise.
Bobby
Job wise.
Carmen
What do I want to do? Honestly? I want to be an Abercrombie and Fitch model. That's really.
Bobby
What else do you want to do? Like, if that doesn't work out for.
Carmen
Someone that doesn't work out. Possibly. I possibly want to act. I feel like I could act really well.
Bobby
Okay. Act like your baby was just born. You're so happy. You're laughing.
Lexi
It's not.
Carmen
I'm so happy that I'm laughing that my child was born. My child came out a comedian.
Bobby
Okay. When she came out, okay, fiance says she actually wants to get married tomorrow. Act like you're so happy and you can't wait.
Carmen
Why'd I be happy about that?
Bobby
Really?
Carmen
No, I'm just joking. No, I don't believe in marriage.
Bobby
Why were you engaged before?
Carmen
I believed in marriage then.
Bobby
Not anymore.
Carmen
Not anymore. I think all relationships should be a contract.
Bobby
That's two years.
Carmen
That's 12 years max. Then we renegotiate after the two years.
Bobby
What negotiation would you like? Like, like what are you negotiating?
Carmen
Who picks up the kids and things like that.
Bobby
Like, you have a kid.
Carmen
How do you know there's not more? Like, that's another thing. And that's.
Bobby
How many kids do you have?
Carmen
How many kids do I actually have? Like, how many kids do I take care of? Or how many kids do I have.
Bobby
How many kids does he have, Jojo?
Carmen
Okay, I have. I have one biological kid.
Lexi
One.
Carmen
I have. I have four kids in total, but I have one biological one.
Toni
No, like, one.
Carmen
One that's mine.
Bobby
Per. What? What happened to the other three?
Carmen
The other three? They're not mine. They're someone else's kids.
Bobby
Okay, you have one kid you have to worry about picking up.
Carmen
Yes, but that's what I'm saying.
Bobby
Just pick up your kid.
Carmen
But that would be in the negotiation of, like, how many kids like, that would be in there? Like, in the contract. Like, maybe. Maybe this term will have it. Like, maybe this contract will have a child. See, like, that's why you have to negotiate. And I feel like if it doesn't work out, then we just don't redo the contract. Whereas a divorce. You do a divorce, and now I might have to pay you money. Don't make any sense to me.
Bobby
Interesting. But you don't want a wedding.
Carmen
No, we could still have a wedding, but we just don't have to be officially married.
Bobby
Yeah. What do you think about that, Jojo?
Carmen
She loved the concept idea, like, the contract idea, but now it's like you're putting her on.
Bobby
Did she love that? Every two years, renegotiate a contract.
Toni
I don't know where this is coming from.
Bobby
I think she's hearing all this for the first time.
Carmen
See, look, first.
Bobby
All right, now, don't give her that look.
Carmen
All right? Come on. She's on contract right now, so that's what I'm.
Bobby
Maybe we should pull out the contract. Let's see the contract.
Alaina
No.
Bobby
Okay.
Carmen
No.
Bobby
Did.
Kali
Was this job like an opening? Like to be an opening singer on your podcast or something?
Bobby
It could be anything you really want it to be. Do you think you should maybe open for my podcast? Singing every time?
Kali
Yeah.
Bobby
How would that. Would that look like. Like, I bring you to every single episode or.
Kali
Yeah, like, I come on every episode and I. I'm like the opening singer.
Bobby
Got it.
Kali
So there's, you know, like, you have, like, an opening and.
Bobby
Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I actually. I don't. I don't hate that idea.
Kali
Yeah.
Bobby
So you're thinking, what song are you going to sing? You're going to make one for me, right?
Kali
Yeah, I'll make one for you.
Bobby
Let's try that.
Kali
They're really good.
Bobby
Okay. What are the lyrics?
Kali
I think I gotta just think of some words.
Bobby
Yeah. Yeah, that's a good idea. Any. Any words? Really good. Really good.
Kali
I'm on the really good show. Really Good. Misunderstood.
Bobby
Why am I misunderstood?
Kali
No, like, people may think that, but you're. I think you're great.
Bobby
Okay. I'm just wondering why you chose that word.
Kali
Yeah.
Bobby
Misunderstood.
Kali
Yeah, they think you're misunderstood, but I think you're great.
Bobby
Okay.
Kali
I was gonna, like, add on, like.
Bobby
Okay, I'll let you continue. Sorry. Yeah, really good. Really good.
Kali
I'm on the really good show, really misunderstood show.
Bobby
Misunderstood. I don't know about that, but. Okay. Follow it with what you would say. Why? Why is that not true?
Kali
It's not true. I don't say, like, misunderstood again. We're gonna say because I don't know. Because what I do know, that you're great.
Bobby
Like, she's great because I misunderstood. Misunderstood. But she's great. Yeah, I feel like we need to add to that. I feel like people are still going to misunderstand me.
Kali
Yeah.
Bobby
Or think that that's.
Kali
They like to judge.
Lexi
Oh, that's good.
Bobby
I like that. Yeah. They like to judge.
Kali
They like to judge. They think they know.
Bobby
Okay, I like that too.
Kali
But really deep down, they don't, you know?
Bobby
Okay.
Kali
Yeah.
Bobby
And then I say, like, welcome to the really good pot. You just walk out and then I say, welcome. Okay.
Kali
Yeah. So how'd I do?
Bobby
I mean, I love that song. Really good. Really good. I'm on the really good show. Misunderstood. Misunderstood. I kind of scribbled the rest out, but I think that we can replay it. Okay. Yeah, no, it was good. Okay. You'll be hearing back from my sister.
Kali
Okay. How long?
Bobby
Probably whenever she does. Gets around to it. She. There's a lot of jobs for me, so I don't know. Okay. Sometimes she gets back immediately. Sometimes she sleeps on it for, like, six years, but hopefully for you it's faster. I think that's a great addition to the show, though. And I'm. I actually don't hate it.
Kali
Okay.
Bobby
Yeah. So that's good news. Have a good day.
Kali
Thank you. You too.
Bobby
Love you. I said I love you.
Kali
Love you too.
Bobby
Thank you.

Oh, yeah, yeah, no, I know. Okay, let me think. Well, there are some pretty nice ones, huh? Yeah, I don't. I'm. I'm telling you right now, I've had some pretty. Someone who's almost 33.
Huh? Me?
No, someone. Oh, yeah. You're not almost 33.
