So what from that never stop believing kids. Yeah. But when you were from that, you know, I mean to this, right. Was there a long transition or did it happen like in a year?
Dumbfoundead
Like high school, senior year, you know.
Anderson .Paak
I graduated and I was on a mission right after high school. I was like, I'm gonna get. I was a virgin pretty much. I was like, I'm getting laid, I'm gonna lose weight. I like changed my eating habits. I was like running on the treadmill all the time. And like within like two years, I kind of like transformed.

You transformed? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, I was the same.
Anderson .Paak
Really?
Bobby Lee
I never transformed. I never went through my transformation.
Dumbfoundead
Transformation.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. But in this sense that like, you know, I felt like I didn't get a lot of girls back then. And it took a long time for me, like in my 20s and stuff.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah.
Bobby Lee
And then when it. But here's the thing. When it does happen, it's incredible. Yeah.
Anderson .Paak
You're relentless. You're making up for lost time.
Bobby Lee

Dumbfoundead
You're on a rampage.
Bobby Lee
I remember the first time I've talked about it before when I was 24, Jennifer, there was this girl at a comedy club. She sitting in the front row and a week later we had sex. And we were in her mom's house. Cause I was young and we were in her mom's closet because she was out of town and we were 69.

Anderson .Paak

Bobby Lee
I go, thank you, Jesus. It was a miracle, dude. Yeah. Do you remember the first?
Anderson .Paak
My first 69.
Dumbfoundead

Kalila
So there was so much hype around 69 before you actually tried it. And when you try it, you're like, what even is this?
Bobby Lee
Oh, what are you talking about?
Kalila
Remember that's all in high school, that's all you would talk about.

Dumbfoundead
It up to it. I think it lives up to it.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah. There's a lot going on in a 69.
Dumbfoundead
Were you confident in your 69 when you were going in?
Bobby Lee
Which I had never even heard of it. When she said it.
Dumbfoundead

Bobby Lee
She had to do a. Like a. Like a little tutorial.

Anderson .Paak
Why? I was just gonna say had to.
Bobby Lee
Be high five or not. Yeah, yeah.
Dumbfoundead
Why did it happen? Why did it have to be?
Anderson .Paak
I just. I just think, like, wow. Like, if she proposed it, that was more of, like, white girl.
Bobby Lee
But not only that. It's in the 90s, right? So you think you're. You're breaking some sort of, like, barrier. Yeah, yeah. Because now it's common. Yeah, yeah, right. But in the 90s, I felt like I was probably the second or third age.
Dumbfoundead
It was 69.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Kalila
Yeah.
Bobby Lee
I feel like I should be.
Anderson .Paak
That's it.
Bobby Lee

Bobby Lee
It's like a hand. Because now like it was almost like so forbidden, right? Like winning the lottery. No, like I couldn't believe it.
Anderson .Paak
Very intimate.
Bobby Lee
If it was some Tran. Tran, you know, I mean, some girl named Fing Vin, you know, man, if some 4 foot 3 Vietnamese girling. Bing ding.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah.
Bobby Lee
It'd be like this is standard, right?
Dumbfoundead
Right.
Bobby Lee
Still cry? Yeah, yeah, yeah, still cry. Cuz it's a miracle. But not as like a spiritual awakening, a trailblazer. Yeah, yeah. But I felt like they should build a statue of me, right? So when it happened, you know what I mean? It was just like. It was just like the skies opened up and I thought, you know, I mean, I believed in God.
Dumbfoundead
I kind of imagine you being the upside down, like standing up. He's on the. She's holding.
Bobby Lee
Why? Why? Why do you think that?
Dumbfoundead
I don't know. I just feel like that would be.

You did, dad. Yeah. Yeah. And then, because it was exciting then.
Kalila
Too, like, oh, you're wearing a condom. To even show that you had a condom was like, such a cool guy move, even for me as a young girl to be like, oh, what flavor condoms do you have? Remember that?
Anderson .Paak
Yeah.
Kalila
And then the Planned Parenthood would have, like, the banana flavor. Yeah.
Bobby Lee
Flavor.
Dumbfoundead
Yeah.
Kalila
And it was just like such a long tongue flex.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah. Condoms being, like, tough to figure out.
Dumbfoundead
I was nervous to put on the. The first time.
Bobby Lee
What flavor? Like Ding Dong jig Banana.
Dumbfoundead
Flavor.
Anderson .Paak
Taro.
Bobby Lee
Oh, yeah. It's not fried chicken. You can't do like.
Anderson .Paak
That was my favorite.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah, yeah. When you. They're flavored, it's always fruity. Yeah.
Dumbfoundead
Right, right.
Bobby Lee
But as a condom, we should try to experiment with other foods. What do you think let's do?
Dumbfoundead
Let's create a Flamin Hot Cheetos.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. Yeah. Flamin Hot Cheetos. Let's come up. Let's come up with a company.
Anderson .Paak
Kimchi.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah, Kimchi. You want to Asian it?
Anderson .Paak
Yeah. Probably Pringle.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. Once you pop. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So then after that experience, you didn't have sex for a while?
Anderson .Paak
I didn't. Not till I was in my 20s. It was like I. We did it that one time and I couldn't. I couldn't figure it out. We couldn't, like, do it again and. Yeah. It was just always. It always escaped me.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. And then you you since the first time you.
Dumbfoundead
Yeah, I've had sex since the first time I've had sex. Yes. No, but I remember I was.
Bobby Lee
You know what's so funn? What you just said.
Dumbfoundead
Now you're triggered already triggering me. Okay, I'm sorry.
Bobby Lee
I know you do get a lot.
Dumbfoundead
Of women, but you know, you know the game.
Bobby Lee
I know you get a lot of.
Dumbfoundead
I don't, I don't get a lot of women. It's.
Bobby Lee
You don't.
Dumbfoundead
I get a fair amount, I guess.
Bobby Lee
No, no, no.
Dumbfoundead
I mean, no, no, you get a lot of women.
Bobby Lee
Not compared to you.
Dumbfoundead
No. He's on. This guy's on Riot. You are the last dragon of Riot. You are the last dragon on riot.
Anderson .Paak
Do you have a titan type?
Dumbfoundead
Oh, that's a good question.
Bobby Lee
Cross eyed.
Anderson .Paak
Okay.
Kalila
He likes like double vision. Cross eyed wages Nice tall, long face. He likes long.
Bobby Lee
I like long faces.
Anderson .Paak
Cockeyed.
Bobby Lee
And then I like eyes. I do a little.
Kalila
This is slightly cross eyed.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah.
Bobby Lee
And I'll connect. And me and my therapist figured out why. You know why, right?
Kalila
Because your mom is a little cross eyed.
Bobby Lee
No, no, that's not why.
Anderson .Paak
Oh, sorry.
Bobby Lee
I see.
Kalila
That's not why. Why? Is it because you're a little cross eyed?
Bobby Lee
No. Well, God damn, dude, shots fired.
Kalila
No, because I dated you for 10 years. I'm a little cross eyed. I as a cross eyed.
Bobby Lee
Who has more cross eyed, you or me? You guys dated for 10 years?
Dumbfoundead
Yeah. You didn't know that? You know the lore here. There's a lore that exists around.
Bobby Lee
There's a backstory. That's amazing. Yeah, yeah.
Anderson .Paak
And you're able to do the show together.
Bobby Lee
Well, we can talk about that in a second. But can I let talk about a cross eyed. No, not talk about the cross side. I want to my therapist. So we figured out that I like women that are the complete opposite of me and it's all about mating and having children. Right. So when I was a kid, I looked at my parents and I said, my brother and I both as a kid, we were like, oh, we're fucked up. Because we knew that our parents were five foot, you know, I mean, so we, I knew that when I was going to grow up, I was going to be five foot. Right. And so in my mind I'm like. And also I don't like the way I look. So I, I. There's a combination factor going on. So I'm looking for somebody that's tall, skinny. Right. And a long face. Because my face is so round.
Kalila
Right.
Bobby Lee
For kids. Yeah, it's just what I'm.
Kalila
You want to offset your own genetics.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, but what. I but wants to break the curse, but my therapist posed a question. It's like, why do you think it's a curse? Because you're. You're a very good looking person.
Dumbfoundead
So it's a self love, prop, like issue.
Bobby Lee
I think it's a self love.
Dumbfoundead
Okay.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Kalila
Tomorrow he starts dating someone identical to him. He loves himself.
Bobby Lee
Every meet for Trent. That was your joke. Callback, call back. You originated really good time.
Dumbfoundead
Thank you for supporting.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah, yeah. What was the thing before that? I was gonna say I was gonna get back to something that Anderson said.
Dumbfoundead
Oh, he didn't know that you guys did it for.
Kalila
Yeah, yeah.
Anderson .Paak
Whoa.
Bobby Lee
Oh. Oh, no.
Kalila
I'll tell you years now, though.
Bobby Lee
Okay, so let me ask you guys that question. Okay. I'm a beverage. Excuse me. Okay. I've had a lot of people have a problem with me and Kalila still working together and being so close.
Veteran Support Announcer
Who does.
Bobby Lee
Other comics I've had disagreements with and they said, how can you do a podcast with an ex? Especially how long you guys dated and this and that. And I've. I'm friends with all my exes and I have great relationships with all of them. And how do you guys feel about this? Can you have a great. Could you work with an ex and have a great relationship with an ex?
Dumbfoundead
Yes, I think so. I mean, you know, we're at the age we're, you know, mature enough to do that. Right. I mean.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah, I think it just. It depends on how you. How it ended.
Kalila
Yeah, it's. I think it's case by case.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah.
Kalila
Because I couldn't work with some of my exes. I would like rip their dicks off if I saw him on the street. Like, so it's case by case.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Dumbfoundead
I mean, you co parenting is that technically count as like working when you have.
Anderson .Paak
When you have kids, usually it's forever. So you guys are gonna have to work it out whether you're still married or together or not. As the kids get older, you guys have to figure that out. So. Yeah, I'm, I'm. We learned how to co parent and it's been cool. It's like really cool. We're really nice to each other and our kids are getting older and it's cool to be able to show them that they can. That it, you know, it can exist. You can work together as a family.
Dumbfoundead
Family man.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah, he is.
Dumbfoundead
You met him, went to that soccer game and he Fanned out on. You remember?

Bobby Lee
Oh, raise your hand. Hygiene.
Dumbfoundead
I mean, it's not the most important.
Anderson .Paak
I mean. Yeah, it's not that messes me especially now. I think like pretty girls, they think they don't have to like brush their teeth and stuff.
Dumbfoundead
I mean that. Yes.
Anderson .Paak
You know, like, I think there's. I don't know, something's going on. But. Yeah.
Bobby Lee
I dated a girl, right. I went to her house, right. And I go, I smell like cat litter.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah.
Bobby Lee
Right. And I go, why is it smell like cat litter? She goes, I just throw the cat litter underneath the bag.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah.
Dumbfoundead
That's crazy. Crazy.
Kalila
Kidding.
Bobby Lee
No. And I looked underneath the bed and she didn't have a litter box. It was just cat litter on the ground.
Dumbfoundead
That's insane.
Bobby Lee
And the catchers pee and pooing. Every couple of months I clean it out. You know what I mean?
Anderson .Paak
Yeah.
Bobby Lee
It just. I'm talking about 15 bags of cat litter underneath there. Yeah. And that ended it. I still had sex with her, but after that.
Dumbfoundead
Yeah. I was like, you're cleaning it out. So you're there cleaning it out.
Anderson .Paak
I can fix it.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah, that's it. Yeah.
Bobby Lee
So hygiene.
Anderson .Paak
Hygiene. Okay. I think like music taste. Oh.
Kalila
Now you're speaking his language.
Bobby Lee
You're speaking my language. Let's talk about this guy. Right?
Dumbfoundead
Not in front of gr.
Bobby Lee
I'm going to say he said that Linkin park was better than the Beatles. Would you agree?
Anderson .Paak
Oh, that's a bold.
Bobby Lee
That's a bold statement.
Dumbfoundead
But it's a hot take. That.
Bobby Lee
It's a hot take.
Kalila
He's just basing it off of record sold, though.
Anderson .Paak
Oh.
Kalila
Not actual, like, quality.
Bobby Lee
I just.
Anderson .Paak
One of those things.
Bobby Lee
No, no, no. I did some meditation on it. Yeah, right.
Dumbfoundead
Did you really?
Bobby Lee
I did some meditations on it. You know, I mean, and I. And. And I did a couple of meditations and I realized that. No, the first initial argument was Lingam park is just a better band.
Dumbfoundead
Nope.
Bobby Lee
Right. Okay. We. It's, you know, I mean, I have my point of view of your point of view. Okay, exactly. So how do you feel about that, guys?
Anderson .Paak
I think that's rage bait or something.
Dumbfoundead
That's what you call rage bait.
Anderson .Paak
I think he's looking to get a rise out of me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bobby Lee
It's crazy.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah, yeah. I mean. I mean, Linkin Park. Respect.
Bobby Lee
Respect.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah, they did. They did have. I mean, they're big and they have huge songs.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, huge songs.
Anderson .Paak
You know, they invented the mashup.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Dumbfoundead
Beatles didn't do mashup.
Anderson .Paak
You know, but Beatles did a lot of stuff. But, I mean, Beatles are some of my favorite.
Bobby Lee
They're you favorite groups. So we. We got hygiene.
Anderson .Paak
I like. I like girls that are, like, nurturing and, like, affectionate.
Dumbfoundead
Like pda. Like.
Anderson .Paak
Well, they just. They like, they want. They, like, want to take care of me.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Anderson .Paak
Oh, I like that.
Bobby Lee
Now, what if you dated a girl and she's. And you try to hold her hand and she was like, I don't do public affection. Is that a red flag?
Anderson .Paak
I think I would be a little, like, turned off if I went to put myself out there to hold her hand and then she, like, pulled it. Pulled away.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Anderson .Paak
That would probably hurt me a little bit. But I'm also the type that you get for. You get more points with me or, like, it'll last longer if you don't give me everything right away.
Bobby Lee
Oh.
Anderson .Paak
I'm like one of those guys that. The longer you let me chase it, that's how it's gonna probably stay, Anderson.
Bobby Lee
That's all guys.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah. Yeah.
Dumbfoundead
Okay, cool.
Anderson .Paak
I think I was different.
Bobby Lee
That's all guys. Yeah. Yeah.
Anderson .Paak
I'm also into 69. Someone that's down for that. It's a big. That'll get you top priority.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. Also, I don't like it when it's like.
Anderson .Paak
And I like someone that believes in God.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah.
Anderson .Paak

Dumbfoundead
Do you go for the butt if you're doing 69?
Anderson .Paak
What?
Dumbfoundead
Do you go for their butt? Like you're doing any taint.
Bobby Lee
Can I just say, it's. It's. It's a Lord of the Rings traveling aspect. Like going on a quest.
Dumbfoundead
Yeah.
Bobby Lee
So you're down at the, you know, where you're supposed to be, and then you have to go through the Mines of Morior, Right? You have to go to the swampland then, you know, to get to Mordor. Right. There's a lot. There's a lot of traveling.

It's like white. You like these white girls that. They do look like art teachers, kind of. So it is similar realm. They're usually wearing overalls or like a jumpsuit. You know what I mean? Like, there's a. There's a demographic that he has for sure.
Kalila
Say, I'm more attracted to the girls.
Anderson .Paak
You're attracted to you, like, girls as well?
Kalila
At some point I thought I did, but I think that I just like looking at girls. And the girls that I've seen him with, I'm like, oh, they're like, like, cool, right?
Dumbfoundead
Like, was there, like, a feminine trait that Bobby had that you were kind of attracted to that was like. This also fills in my, like, feelings for women as well.
Kalila
Like, first lesbian relationship.
Dumbfoundead
Yeah. I mean, I'm just saying, was there, like, a lesbian trait that, you know, we all might have a lesbian trait here or there, you know, I have a lesbian trait. He hasn't blinked.
Kalila
No, I genuinely just. Ew. Like, you're muffs. But I genuinely just thought he was, like, super attractive.
Anderson .Paak
Nice.
Kalila
Yeah, yeah. He was really hot.
Dumbfoundead
Funny, right? Yeah, like.
Kalila
But not even just the funniest. Like, I grew up in Asia, right. Like, I grew up a lot around, like, Koreans.
Dumbfoundead
Yeah, yeah. So you don't discriminate against that.
Kalila
I. My idea of hot was always number one. Asian dudes are always hottest to me.
Anderson .Paak
Nice.
Dumbfoundead
I love hearing that.
Kalila
Yeah.
Dumbfoundead
That's so refreshing.
Anderson .Paak
People say, like, because you liked Asian dudes, number one. Did they say, like, you have a.
Kalila
Fetish no, because I'm Filipino. I'm.
Dumbfoundead
Oh, okay. Mexican girl. Really loves Asians.
Anderson .Paak
I like, why does it have to be fetish when it comes to, like, Asian Asians? I feel like, oh, yes, you have Asian.
Kalila
But you know why? Because white men have abused it.
Dumbfoundead
Ah, right, right.
Anderson .Paak
They made it hard for the rest of us.
Kalila
You okay, Bobby?
Dumbfoundead
Yeah, he's still thinking about Dumb's comment.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, I. I'm not being real. Maybe to be real with you.
Dumbfoundead
Yeah, go, please.
Bobby Lee
I went inside myself and a rage. A rage? No, a rage occurred in my heart.
Dumbfoundead
You got a low K. Rage.
Bobby Lee
It's war.
Kalila
Was because he said school teacher with.
Anderson .Paak
Overall.
Bobby Lee
I look like a lesbian.
Dumbfoundead
Yeah, I didn't say you look like.
Bobby Lee
But that was that vibe. That was the intention.
Dumbfoundead
No, getting in tune. Like.
Bobby Lee
No, no, you're getting. You're not getting in tune. You're not getting in tune. And these are fighting words. Okay, you. Dude.
Dumbfoundead
No, but here's the thing. In this generation, they. Every woman wants. Wants a man to have a feminine trait. Like, that's true. Everyone does.
Bobby Lee
Oh, so you do have a feminine trait. Look. What?
Dumbfoundead

Dumbfoundead
There's. Let's not say any other types of stability. Anderson, break it up. Anderson. I'm sorry. We just specified the stability. Hey, can we specify the stability? That's the.
Bobby Lee
You are.
Dumbfoundead

I'm like, well, I'm like an ambassador kind of, but I like it. And then, yeah. Next thing I know, he's. He's hitting Gucci direct, and he's like, all right, we're gonna wear all Gucci for this and, like, customized stuff, so.
Bobby Lee
Wow.
Anderson .Paak
That was just. That was just what we did. And. And when we. When we had free time, we go to Vegas and we just go and shop, and we just like, if I.
Bobby Lee
Go into Gucci, I could probably only buy one glove or something because it's so expensive. Gucci jacket. Yeah, that's a Gucci jacket.

Anderson .Paak
Biggest supporters.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, you drove down to San Diego for me. You showed up and you didn't really have a lot of, like, notes, which is good. I always. Because you're the notes guy.
Dumbfoundead
I'm not the notes guy.
Bobby Lee
Oh, you should have done this better. You're very negative.
Dumbfoundead
You're very negative.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, you are. You're negative, dude.

Anderson .Paak
Sometimes it's pretty cool because I'm always like, around people that are like my, my mom and like family are always, like, they're always quick to bring up things like, like, why didn't you get the Grammy this year? Or why didn't you? Where's your name on the thing? So when I like, people come up like, see, told you I was lit, like I, I famous too, kind of.
Dumbfoundead
That those comments trigger me every time I link with my mom. It's like, oh, Anderson really famous now. Yes, mom, he's been famous. I don't know why it triggers me. You know, it just makes me feel like it's like those comments, I take.
Bobby Lee
You'Re not as talented. That's what you tell your mom. I'm not as talented, first of all. I mean, it's so simple.
Dumbfoundead
Okay.
Bobby Lee
No, no, no.
Dumbfoundead
I get triggered because I, I, you know, it makes me feel like I'm not doing.

Kalila
It's like a universal parent.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah, yeah.
Kalila
Where it's like whether they're pitting you up against your own cousin or somebody else, like they always make that comment like if they cannot like practice restraint in that department.
Dumbfoundead
Is it a comparing thing? You think they are trying to compare us?
Kalila
I don't know if it's just. Again, might be rage bait because my mom says some all the time and it's not even about like famous people. It's always about a family member that might be doing better or having more kids or something to that effect. I feel like you, you can probably relate to that.
Bobby Lee
In the beginning, yes, but now, no.
Dumbfoundead
What would she come who.
Bobby Lee
I think I got to the point where they're like, you can't say shit.
Dumbfoundead
But who would she compare you to?
Bobby Lee
Every single person on planet Earth. Like, like a little dwarf on the street.
Dumbfoundead
You know what?
Kalila
I got your back. I got your back here. One of the biggest family blowouts I have ever seen was between him and his mom in Hawaii because she told him to his face, why aren't you bts? Like why aren't you fame as famous as bts? And he had a meltdown and I had to physically like he remember that. So you should.
Bobby Lee
It's so crazy that you're saying this.
Anderson .Paak
That is insane.
Bobby Lee
You're studying with five guys.
Anderson .Paak
That's a five person.
Dumbfoundead
You would get such international five person.
Bobby Lee
Group shout out to.
Kalila
So his mom was like just scrolling on her iPad and every picture was a picture. She's a huge BTS or somebody in the group. And he lost his shit. And he was like, mom, I'm handsome.
Bobby Lee
She wasn't doing that. The problem wasn't. That's not why we got in a fight.
Kalila
That's exactly.
Anderson .Paak
I was like, what tipped it over?
Bobby Lee
What tipped it over is that my phone was attached to her phone. Oh yeah. Do you remember that?
Kalila
The icloud.
Bobby Lee
The icloud thing Right. So it's like she did 20,000 screenshots of BTS, and they would all be downloaded onto my phone. So I spent all day deleting BTS photos off of my thing. That's what I was mainly mad about.
Anderson .Paak
Right?
Bobby Lee
Yeah. What?
Kalila
That's not what I heard.
Bobby Lee
All right. Tit for tat.
Kalila
Because you were like, mom, I'm fabulous. Famous, too.
Bobby Lee
Okay. There's only one.
Kalila
And then she. You know what she said? She goes, yeah, but different kind, right?
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Different kind of fame.
Kalila
Yeah. Different kind of fame, but different kind of.
Bobby Lee
Okay, maybe you're right.
Kalila
Yeah.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah. That's what led me to make the movie that we did.
Bobby Lee
Oh, good segue. Really good segue.
Dumbfoundead
What's the movie?
Bobby Lee
What's.
Anderson .Paak
Stop.
Bobby Lee
Stop. I'm not going there yet. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dumbfoundead
Training. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bobby Lee
That was smooth.
Dumbfoundead
That's what.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah. Very. I have one more question before. And then we'll go into promoting your movie. What about that? Can we agree with that? Yeah, let's do it. Okay. The Super Bowl.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah.
Bobby Lee
When you played the drums. Oh. And to me, just. Can I just say something? You know, people talk about Whitney, Super Bowl, Michael Jackson, but to me, that super bowl was epic.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah.
Bobby Lee
Because I think it very. It kind of personified LA at the time.
Anderson .Paak
Whoa.
Bobby Lee
You know what I mean? You have the legend. Legends up there.
Anderson .Paak
Yep.
Bobby Lee
Now, can I ask you a question about that? Yeah. Will you. Do you know. Did you know all these guys before?
Anderson .Paak
Yeah. So I'm actually there. You are signed to Dre There? I am, yeah. Dre signed me in 2016 on there, and I had worked with Mary J. On her album. I. I worked with Eminem as well. And, yeah, I knew, you know, everyone on the stage, but it's so different when you're up there playing lose yourself on drums in front of, like, millions. It was just like, wow. And when I was. Before I was playing, I was like, should I not smile? Like, should I keep it cool? This is Eminem. But once I was on stage, I just couldn't help it.
Bobby Lee
You were wild.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah.
Bobby Lee
It was so good.
Anderson .Paak
I forced my way into playing because when they announced it, I wasn't supposed to be playing. It was. You know, everyone was on the flyer, and I was like, shit. And here goes my mom. Like, why aren't you. Why aren't you on that? Aren't you signed to Dre? Like, they should have had you on there. I'm like, I'm working on it, Mom. Hold on. So I called Dre And I'm like, dre, what's going on? Like, let me play a hi hat or something. Like, get me in there. I'm signed to you. He's like, all right, ap, I'm gonna figure out something. And I was like, cool, I'm gonna make my own flyer until then. So I, like, got on Photoshop and I made my own flyer where I, like, I Photoshopped myself. Myself, like, in the thing.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Anderson .Paak
And I posted it, and. And then he called me back. He was, like, cracking up. He's like, look, what do you think of, like, playing with Marshall for lose yourself and you on the drums? And I was like, yeah, let's do it. And it was just right. Right before we got onto the field, you know, like, you have your inners in.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Anderson .Paak
And I hear Snoop say, say to Dre, like, hey, cuz, is it Ladi Da Da or Daddy, Daddy da? And the lights cut, and, like, it's just like, showtime. And I was like, wow, this is crazy. You forget, like. Like, it was, like, everybody's biggest, you know, show. Like, you know, those guys are giants.
Bobby Lee
Were you nervous?
Anderson .Paak
Yeah, I was. I was just like, don't drop your sticks. Just have fun. Be in the moment. But, yeah, I wasn't just, like, nervous up until, like, because I'm coming up this, like, man, it was insane.
Bobby Lee
I wasn't nervous for you. I was nervous for the bat.
Anderson .Paak
For the what?
Bobby Lee
The bat. The bat descent.
Dumbfoundead
Oh, the bat. The bat is crazy.
Bobby Lee
Remember he was hanging up upside down about him?
Kalila
Yeah.
Bobby Lee
I was like, I don't follow you. I mean, how embarrassing if he fell.
Dumbfoundead
That would have been.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. Yeah.
Dumbfoundead
That's bad.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah, that's crazy.
Bobby Lee
That was crazy.
Dumbfoundead
Wait, they let you put your name on the. The drum. Yeah, the kick drum. That's crazy.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah.
Dumbfoundead
Did you fight from that? I mean, because your name just sticks out. There's text. Literally during the show.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah. I wanted people to know it was me.
Bobby Lee
I mean, you're up there. You know that 50, 60 million people are watching, right? Yeah, that's just. That's the top.
Anderson .Paak
The top of the top.
Bobby Lee
Right?
Anderson .Paak
Isn't that.
Bobby Lee
Don't you think that that's the top?
Anderson .Paak
Yeah.
Bobby Lee
Where do you go from there?
Anderson .Paak
Straight up. Straight up.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah, it's. It's insane, man. Yeah. I didn't. And I wasn't really thinking about it at the time, but afterwards, I was like, wow, that really was a moment. And then, like, there's so many months. People are like, what's the biggest one? You know, I have this brain fog because I've been. I'm getting wasted, like for 10 years.
Dumbfoundead
He has a tour coming up. It's all like arenas with Bruno Mars.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. Wow.
Dumbfoundead
Yeah. And you mentioned you don't even want to do any of that ever. You never want to do big.
Bobby Lee
I don't know, Bruno. I think. I think that's the first thing.
Dumbfoundead
No, you.
Bobby Lee
I don't know.
Dumbfoundead
You told me you want to play, be underground and you want to play underground shows for like, that's your thing.
Bobby Lee
And what's an underground show? 2,33,000 people said you never want to.
Dumbfoundead
Do stadiums or arenas or anything.
Bobby Lee
I. I'm not a. I'm. I'm not that big. Number one. Right. I'm. I'm where I'm supposed to be.
Dumbfoundead
Yeah. I'm not saying you're supposed to be anywhere, but.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, you know, if I put that stadium, 2, 000 people would show up.
Anderson .Paak
Which is a lot.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. Yeah.
Dumbfoundead
So positive.
Bobby Lee
I think it is. For me, it is.
Dumbfoundead
I don't care.
Anderson .Paak
All right.
Bobby Lee
But you want me to, you know, make. I feel like you're saying that is because look at your friends. Friends. Your friends Theo and. And Shane and all these guys.
Dumbfoundead
I'm not saying that at all.
Bobby Lee
How come you're like a little Ricky.
Dumbfoundead
I just don't want. I never limit my possibilities, you know, the sky is the limit. And I'm, you know, I don't. I'm not gonna be. I think there was a time where I was like, I'm gonna be just this. And it's, you know, and everything's okay, no matter what. But I still have the same dreams as I was when I was a child.
Bobby Lee
But that was never my dream. To be like you two, playing a stadium.
Dumbfoundead
Well, then trying to be on TV and stadium stuff.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. And I already did that.
Dumbfoundead
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Bobby Lee
But that. I did movies, I did tv, and.
Dumbfoundead
That'S a huge dream. Cuz TV reaches millions of people. Right?
Anderson .Paak
He's more than enough.
Dumbfoundead
Yeah.
Bobby Lee
Thank you, Anderson.
Anderson .Paak
Have you seen his. His set, his comedy? Yeah.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Anderson .Paak
What do you think?
Bobby Lee
Yeah, he can sell probably 20 tickets. If you want to get real. Let's get real.
Dumbfoundead
No, I could sell more.
Bobby Lee
I don't know. I don't know.
Dumbfoundead
I could sell more.
Bobby Lee
Cleveland.
Dumbfoundead
Oh, I don't know about Cleveland, Ohio, but.
Bobby Lee
So you're a coffee shop guy? Yeah. I mean, you're asking me about stadiums, but you play coffee shop.
Dumbfoundead
I'm not. Oh, my God.
Bobby Lee
You want to get real? Let's get real, you know, I mean.
Dumbfoundead
I'm not getting real.
Bobby Lee
I love you.
Dumbfoundead
I love you, too.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. You can do more than that. You're right. I think you were asking me, like, you know, is that something that you want to do? And I just basically said, number one, I never thought that I would even ever do them. And the only reason why I do them is because, like, Gillis and Theo and some of these guys and Tom and those guys go, come and do it with us. So I've done 20,000 seat venues, but it's like, it's not, you know, I mean, I'm not the headliner, but, like, you know, for me to sell four shows at the Balboa Theo Theater and sell for those out, it was pretty good for me.
Dumbfoundead
That's great.
Bobby Lee
It was like 8,000 seats.
Dumbfoundead
Insane.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. So, you know. Know I'm doing what I can. Yeah. You know, and I think Anderson understands that you. What?
Anderson .Paak
No. Good. Yeah, I understand for sure.
Bobby Lee
You do understand, like, you know, you are what you're where you're at.
Anderson .Paak
And I was his hype man. I started off as his hype man, and now. Now then I'm like, on Super Bowl.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, look.
Dumbfoundead
Insane.
Anderson .Paak
Literally, he was literally roasting me on stage as I was, like, being his help. You know what I'm saying?
Dumbfoundead
Flavor Flav, back in the day, he did get mad at me, me for a quick roast I had during a show. And afterwards, he pulled me to the side like, bro, don't do that again, man. Yeah, like, that was really shitty. This is where we were in London. It was.
Bobby Lee
He wasn't where he is now at the time.
Anderson .Paak
No, no, he was. He really put me on. He was the first dude to take me overseas. And wow. You know, dumbfounded. Had this big audience, like, and he just opened it up for me and, like, yeah, he can come on tour with me and help me out. I'll let you do a few songs too.
Kalila
See, now apologize.
Bobby Lee
I'm sorry.
Dumbfoundead
Honestly, he's kind of one of the reasons that I feel like I also was like, no, no. I feel like musicians like him should get the type of spotlight and attention. You know what I mean? It's like, you meet people like him and you're like, this is the type of music that deserves to be in the forefront. You know what I'm saying? So he is.
Anderson .Paak
I feel like everyone gets what they want, though, at the end, you know, like, it's about what you want. It's not really about what you deserve. It's about, like, what you negotiate and what you want for yourself. Like. Like, I want. I. At one point, I just wanted to. Like, I really always wanted to work with Trey. Like, that was, like, the final boss. I grew up in, like, SoCal, like, as a kid, like, that's who I listen to. And when I think about it, when I'm working with these people, like, yeah, these are all the people that I've always wanted to work with. Now to be able to call them friends and work with them, it's like, damn. It's crazy.
Bobby Lee
It's incredible.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah. No, it's sick. It's humbling.
Bobby Lee
I mean, that's the top.
Anderson .Paak
It is, man.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. Yeah.
Anderson .Paak
Bruno and Snoop, everybody. It's like, wow, man. That's fun.
Bobby Lee
And I want to see the dumb. I've been attacking you all.
Dumbfoundead
I don't feel attacked.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. And, you know, you and I. I pick you up, we go to eat dinners together, and we hang out a lot. And the reason why I do is because I love you.
Dumbfoundead
Yep. No, I love you, too.
Bobby Lee
I think you're very interesting.
Dumbfoundead
Thank you, man.
Bobby Lee
Because you're good at everything.
Dumbfoundead
Oh, wow. I. That's. That's amazing. It's better than being okay at everything, Lopez.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. And I think you're good at everything.
Dumbfoundead
Thank you, man.
Bobby Lee
And I think maybe. And you're also better looking than me.
Dumbfoundead
No, no.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, you are. And I think it's. I think it's because I'm just threatened.
Kalila
Oh, wow.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, there's a threatening thing going.
Dumbfoundead
We're not in competition.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. You know.
Anderson .Paak
There you have it.
Bobby Lee
No, no, no.
Dumbfoundead
I didn't mean it like that. Like, I just mean I don't want. I'm not. I don't want to compete against you.
Bobby Lee
I mean, you called me a lesbian earlier, but I'm going to let that slide.
Dumbfoundead
Lesbians are super superior.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I just, you know, I know it seems like I attack you and make fun of you, you know, but I think at the end of the day, it's because I respect you.
Dumbfoundead
Thank you, man.
Bobby Lee
And there's maybe I'm a little threatened by you.
Dumbfoundead
There's mutual respect.
Bobby Lee
Mutual respect, you know? And, I mean, if I went to one of the shows, I wouldn't say we shouldn't wore this like you did to me.
Dumbfoundead
I'm sorry.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah.
Dumbfoundead
So you take note of all these little things that I say or do, and you. You've made a little petty list.
Bobby Lee
No, be honest. And Anderson could back me up when you get a little drunky drunk. Right? You say scandalous things. Let's be honest, because I can give you 30 examples. I'm not gonna do it. I'm gonna call you out right now. How? But you get. You get really kind of critical.
Dumbfoundead
Am I bad drunk? You wouldn't say I'm a bad drunk.
Anderson .Paak
Just give people a piece of your mind. Like, you want to just get in? Like, no, you got to do this. You know, Give them them the unsolicited.
Dumbfoundead
Unsolicited advice, like that kind of thing. I apologize.
Anderson .Paak
All the girls leave, and it's just two of you in the room. It's just like, all right, well, you succeeded. It's us now. So I'm going to call your Uber. I hope you're happy.
Dumbfoundead
It scares the women away.
Anderson .Paak
Scared everyone.
Dumbfoundead
Okay, fair enough.
Bobby Lee
No more. Yeah, no more. And, you know, I worry about you sometimes.
Dumbfoundead
About just departing.
Bobby Lee
We talk about some. Yeah, yeah. But sometimes I get a little worried.
Dumbfoundead
It's a. It's a tough thing because we are having fun. I feel like we're in a prime, celebrating life.
Bobby Lee
I'm not worried about you. I'm not worried about him.
Anderson .Paak
It's about you.
Dumbfoundead
Okay. Right.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Dumbfoundead
No, no, no. You're right. I mean, I should take accountability. I don't know why I'm lumping up. It's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no. I'm having a good time.
Anderson .Paak
That's good that you are.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dumbfoundead
I don't think I'm harming other. I think if there's a problem, it's like I would be harming others around me, and I don't know if I'm technically harming others around me.
Bobby Lee
You are well hurt.
Dumbfoundead
People hurt.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. Yes, I think. I think you hurt people emotionally when you. When you're in a state.
Dumbfoundead
State maybe.
Bobby Lee
I mean, this is not an intervention, so let's just move on from talk about the movie. Yeah, yeah. Anyway.
Anderson .Paak
This is the healing.
Bobby Lee
K Pop. This is the healing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Where's your name?
Anderson .Paak

Bobby Lee
Damn. Wow.
Dumbfoundead

Bobby Lee
I mean, one of the board, there's a Borderlands poster with me in it.
Dumbfoundead
It. Oh, they put. They build you on that.

I love Danny. Oh my God. There he is.
Dumbfoundead
Yeah, he knows. He knows. He's from la.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Dumbfoundead
Yeah, looks pretty.
Anderson .Paak
There he is.
Dumbfoundead
There I am.
Bobby Lee
Wow. Oh, you got nice.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah.
Dumbfoundead
Yeah, your real hair.
Bobby Lee
So what's, what's the movie about here?
Anderson .Paak
The movie is about a washed up musician that finds out he has a son that could be the next K pop star. Ah. So there I am, I'm playing in the. Yeah. Live karaoke band and where I meet my. That's a son girlfriend and she pretty much is trying to get me to be serious and I'm like, no, we got the weekends at the bar. Things are taking off and so she leaves me and goes to Korea. And 12 years later I'm still playing at that bar and I get, I get fired. Johnny plays my, my best friend Cash and he fires me. But he's like, I got another gig for you in Korea on this like kind of American Idol type show show in Korea where you can be a part of the backing band.
Dumbfoundead
Wow.
Anderson .Paak
And I go to Korea and I don't know this, but my son is one of the contestants and I, I find out because my ex shows up to pick him up and she's like, oh, yeah, by the way, that's your son. I didn't tell you. I just went to Korea and had him and you guys figure it out from here and so.
Bobby Lee
Wow.
Dumbfoundead
And they build the relationship together.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Anderson .Paak
So it pretty much goes from like me wanting to, you know, I. I end up not wanting to. I end up wanting to really just be a dad instead of just chasing my musical.
Bobby Lee
Did you direct this?
Anderson .Paak
I did.
Dumbfoundead
Wow. Wow. Isn't that crazy? Directorial debut.
Bobby Lee
Looks incredible.
Dumbfoundead
Coco wrote, he co wrote it.
Bobby Lee
Got to blow it. Wow. How long were you out there shooting, man?
Anderson .Paak
I was shoot. We shot in Korea for about three weeks. We shot in, in this. I mean I shot everywhere in the States. We were like six weeks. Did a couple weeks in Saudi Arabia. The whole pro. The like it's Been five years in the making.
Bobby Lee
Wow.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah. I started this during quarantine to go back. You know, my whole house was obsessed with bts.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Anderson .Paak
And every. Yeah. My, my son's mom and my son were like, why aren't you bts? I'm like, what the hell?
Dumbfoundead
All our parents are doing that.
Bobby Lee
Apparently same thing.
Anderson .Paak
I was like, man, you know about bts. You don't know about bet. So I was like, damn. I was trying to do something that. That could make me look cool in their eyes. So I was like, I'm gonna write a script for us and maybe, maybe BTS will, you know.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Anderson .Paak
Somehow notice.
Bobby Lee
Are there K Pop people in there? Yes. Like who?
Anderson .Paak
Vernon from 17. We have Jay Park. We got Jesse. We got the Rose. We got Kevin Wu, who's like our main like star villain in the movie.
Dumbfoundead
A lot of cameos that. We don't want to spoil you, but there's a lot of K pop cameos in it.
Bobby Lee
Oh, there is.
Anderson .Paak
And.
Dumbfoundead
And like legacy artists like Earthworm 1 in Fire.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah.
Bobby Lee
Oh, Kirk Franklin. I think he's gonna give away.
Dumbfoundead
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Tom Cruise.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Anderson .Paak
A lot of favors. I owe a lot of people.
Bobby Lee
And the choreography. Choreography in it. Right. How long? Like, what happened? Do you tell them? All right, get it down and then we'll. Are you there helping the choreography?
Anderson .Paak
Yes. I had an awesome. His name was Nick Joseph, but I had him working on the choreography like months before in prep and I had my son working with him months before. So. And he was. My son was doing like acting classes and everything. Had acting teacher, so. Yeah, and they did really well because a lot of these. The choreo. The choreography parts, we didn't have a lot of time to do and they were. I was making the music as the movie was going, so I was trying to get. Get good enough versions done that they could dance to it and stuff. And they were. Everybody was like super pro.
Bobby Lee
Now, as a first time director, do you have like a storyboard or are you going in blind?
Anderson .Paak
I went in with a. What's like a treatment and I had a rough idea that I got treatment down for, but I kept. I knew I wanted to direct it, I wanted to co write. I didn't want anyone around my son done. Just I wanted to it to be me and him. So when I would take it to other places, they were like, this is a cool idea, but we want to take it to a director, we want to take it to a writer, blah, blah. And I was like, no, I want to do it. Because all the movies that I. I grew up watching, I saw that they were the ones that wrote it, like Ice Cube and then we're writing Friday and, like, you know, all these. These different movies that I've seen, it starts with, you know, you just have to get in there and write it with your best friends or whatever. But I didn't have any. Any. Any background in writing a script, but I was down to learn. And I got with Stamp. I. I told Dummy. I was, like, frustrated, like, I want to do this. This film, but no, you know, no one believes I can do it. And so he was like, I got these guys that can that will probably be down for it.
Dumbfoundead
And we found funding.
Kalila
And.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, you're good at that, too. Yeah, you're good at that.
Anderson .Paak
Pitching connected the dots.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. I mean, you couldn't get funding for my documentary, but we're working.
Dumbfoundead
I did.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. You guys are dropping the ball, but for him, very good.
Dumbfoundead
Yeah, the process was a little easier for some reason, I don't know.
Anderson .Paak
But still. Yeah, it took years, man. It took a long time. And, yeah, we finally got. We got some initial funding from Stampede, and I brought them the treatment, and they were like, yeah, cool. We'll give you, you know, a couple mil to do this. And I was like, great, let's do it. And we ran out of money really quick, but they. And then we had to get more money. Live Nation came in and some Saudi Arabian dudes, you know, so it was like a whole process, man. And they connected me with my co writer, Kayla Amazon, who was like, a godsend because she was obsessed with K pop. So she really, like, took the. The idea and really showed me how to write a script and give it layers and. And also taught us a lot about, like, K pop and the whole thing and how we can bridge it and. Yeah, that. We just sat in there and. And worked. He was in there writing, too. And I was also doing, like, Silk Sonic with Bruno Mars. And so we were doing, like, the residency, and then when I had time, I would go and write the script and do drafts, and I learned a lot. The strike happened. Had to stop. It was like a lot of stop and go.
Dumbfoundead
It was a five year. Five year process, this movie.
Bobby Lee
Wow.
Anderson .Paak
But, yeah, we got it into the festivals, which I never did.
Dumbfoundead
That was like a big Tribeca.
Bobby Lee
Wow.
Dumbfoundead
And now it's gonna be in theaters February 27th at every AMC theater across the country. About 300.
Bobby Lee
Wow. Wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, it's.
Dumbfoundead
Is this the trailer for Melania, are you. I am kind of curious.
Bobby Lee
Oh, my God. I'm not gonna go to the theater, but I'm gonna, you know, I'll watch it on Amazon or whatever. Yeah. But, yeah, you guys gotta beat it.
Dumbfoundead
It looks beautifully shot, actually.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, it's kinda. Yeah. Is this real?
Dumbfoundead
This is not AI, dude. It's a documentary on Melania.
Anderson .Paak
Oh, it's a doc.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Anderson .Paak
Wow. Yeah.
Bobby Lee
It costs 70 million for 40, 50.
Dumbfoundead
Million or something for a dock. Yeah. It's insane.
Anderson .Paak
It looks like. Yeah.
Bobby Lee
Well, she got 35 million from it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, maybe.
Anderson .Paak
Anyway, that's what, a fraction of that.
Dumbfoundead
Yeah. I was trying to get a million for Bobby's doctor. Like, for a duck.
Bobby Lee
Oh, yeah. I was in a K pop music video. Oh, you wonder Wonder Girls. Yeah.
Anderson .Paak
Wow.
Dumbfoundead
How old were you right there?
Bobby Lee
That was a long time ago, dude.
Dumbfoundead
This was in K town too, wasn't it?
Bobby Lee
No, this is in Korea.
Dumbfoundead
Oh, in Korea.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dumbfoundead
Like, you're a K pop OG man.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah. I've done it all. Yeah. You know, here's the thing about you. Just here's a life lesson that people. I want. When people hear you're a doer, you're a doer, you. You set out to do something. It's not something that, like, it's not in your wheelhouse. You know, you're. You know, you can act great musician, probably one of the best, and. But you decided to go into a territory that you've never done anything and you just did it.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah.
Bobby Lee
You know, I think that's a big lesson.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah, it is.
Bobby Lee
Because most people are scared.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah.
Bobby Lee
And they don't do it.
Anderson .Paak
Yep.
Dumbfoundead
I will say that's one big quality of his that I'm all I've been motivated by when I met him. Like, he doesn't think anything is out of our reach. Like, he. You know, he can. Like, oh, yeah, Eminem. Why don't we get him for a thing?
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dumbfoundead
And it's just like me, I'm just like. I laugh it off. Like, wow, that's crazy, right? That's crazy to me. To him, he's never thought anything was crazy. And then he'd be like, why? Why is already, like, making. Stopping us? Like, why are you already stopping this thing from happening?
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Dumbfoundead
By manifesting that. You know what I'm saying? So.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. And like, I've always wanted to direct a movie.
Dumbfoundead
Do it.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. I kill it. And I just don't think that, like, I can, but. But I think I can.
Kalila
You are so good.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah.
Bobby Lee
Good at what?
Kalila
Like, I just think when you pick.
Anderson .Paak
It apart, like, what's up?
Kalila
All the movies that he does watch, he picks it apart. He's able to kind of just like, I don't know. You have a really good eye.
Dumbfoundead
He's a cine.
Bobby Lee
Like, I'm a cinephile.
Kalila
Like, very clear about what you love. You're very specific.
Bobby Lee
Here's the thing. I would be so critical.
Anderson .Paak
Yep.
Bobby Lee
And I, I don't know, I think would drive me crazy.
Anderson .Paak
That's why I'd be really good. Probably.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Anderson .Paak
I was petrified. I, I, I almost didn't do it.
Bobby Lee
I. Oh, right, right.
Anderson .Paak
I thought I was in over my head.
Dumbfoundead
He did get cold feet towards the beginning before we, when it was time.
Anderson .Paak
To really do it. It was like, whoa. I think I'm, you know, when you, I don't know if it's like imposter syndrome or something, but it was like everything was like, on the table and I was like, oh, my God, I'm going to blow it. I didn't think it was going to get this far. Like, like, oh, wow. Tried to get out of it. And I was.
Bobby Lee
But if you have a good dp, you had a good dp, right?
Anderson .Paak
Yeah. I mean, that was really what it was. And he was like a veteran. And, and everybody on set, the team was like, they knew it was my first movie and they took great care of me. And once I was really scared until I got on set, started doing it and it was like, oh, it was like creative bliss. It was sick.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Anderson .Paak
You're just like, in charge of getting to tell her, you know, it's like, yeah, sick.
Bobby Lee
Did the DP ever go? No.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah. That's why I hired him. Him. Right when, when we were, he came in when we're, I was like, trying to try out DPs. He came in talking about the script, like, this doesn't make sense. We should do this, blah, blah. And I was like, well, you're hired.
Bobby Lee
Like, oh, yeah.
Anderson .Paak
And he was like, when we were on set, he's like, we're gonna do this boom bap. Like, he, he, he, I, I, I didn't know anything about, like, blocking and stuff.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Anderson .Paak
And I, I knew how I want the dialogue to go and everything, but I forgot, like, oh, how are we gonna block this for the camera? And like, like, maybe we should walk and talk when we do this and all this stuff. And he was like, really good with helping me do it. I didn't have to think about lenses. He was like, on it.
Dumbfoundead
Wow.
Anderson .Paak
Cause I'm in it. My son's in it. I'm like doing a lot of different things.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah.
Anderson .Paak
Certain things. It's like, bro, help me, you know, he was all off with it. Shout out to Edpie.
Bobby Lee
People don't realize that dp because I've been in a lot of movies with pretty good directors and the DP goes, yeah, it's not gonna work. Yeah. Like, DP has a lot to do with. Absolutely.
Dumbfoundead
Sure.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah. You know, you got to get the right people. I think maybe in. When you just said that, maybe I could do it if I found the right people.
Dumbfoundead
Yeah.
Bobby Lee
But I would definitely do a storyboard. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cuz I wouldn't want to know what the shot that day is going to be.
Dumbfoundead
The comedy or. I didn't say anything that was that crazy. How would that be triggering that? I don't understand.
Bobby Lee
Well, you made an assumption. You made. You made an assumption that it was gonna be a comedy.
Dumbfoundead
No, I'm saying, would it be a comedy? I'm asking.
Bobby Lee
Horror, maybe.
Dumbfoundead
Horror.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah.
Dumbfoundead
Nice little Jordan Peele situation.
Bobby Lee
I think that's the easiest kind of movie to make at first. Is either because comedies are dying. Yeah, sorry.
Anderson .Paak
Like straight ahead. Comedies, it's tough.
Bobby Lee
I can't think of like, young. I mean, friendship was, you know, very good.
Anderson .Paak
Right.
Bobby Lee
You know, I mean. But I can't really think. A lot of comedy. Movies. Movies.
Anderson .Paak
Right.
Dumbfoundead
TV shows squished. More TV shows.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, more TV shows. But like, in terms of movies, I don't know. I can't really think.
Dumbfoundead
I think we were able to squeeze in a lot of comedies that the feel of comedies that we grew up on into this movie.
Bobby Lee
Oh, cool.
Dumbfoundead
So we're, you know, lucky enough to get away with that, I guess. Because you're right, it is changing now. The comedy is not like thriving necessarily, but.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah, yeah, it's just like, it's funny to you and your friends and you get in the theater and it's like, oh, crickets. Not that funny.
Bobby Lee
Wait, wait.
Anderson .Paak
But thank God I got my son. It's like ours is fun family too.
Bobby Lee
Did you do a screening already?
Dumbfoundead
Yeah, yeah, it was three.
Anderson .Paak
We did. We did the film fest. Like three different film fests. It went great. It was. But it made me realize, like, okay, this is meant to be in a theater. Helps when you. When you got a lot of people. The sound, it's. It's very much like a lot of music. And I learned a lot from the Screenings like even when it's like, okay, people are laughing, they can't hear the other thing that goes on right after. So you have to kind of like space stuff out and editing and everything. And you think certain things are going to work or you don't even think certain things are working. It's like working and.
Bobby Lee
Wow. Wow.
Anderson .Paak
We got to, we got to do all the. A lot of screenings and, and change certain things too. Wow. Yeah, but it was, it's. It's tough man. In certain places. I mean now it's going to be. Everyone's going to see it. So we'll see. You know, everyone's going to have something to say. See. And you work five years on something and then someone's gonna turn it on and like in five seconds like, this is trash.
Bobby Lee
I know, dude.
Dumbfoundead
You know, it's depressing. Really.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah. After I did a movie, I'm like, dude, I gotta give movies a little more, you know, Grace. Because people.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Anderson .Paak
Their life's work.
Dumbfoundead
Yeah.
Bobby Lee
I mean I like bad movies too. Yeah. I watch everything. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Anderson .Paak
You learn a lot from.
Bobby Lee
And getting a good editor probably is also important.
Anderson .Paak
Yes.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah.
Anderson .Paak
Very Shout out to me.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. You can change a few film.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah.
Bobby Lee
Anyway guys, anything you guys want else you want to promote?
Anderson .Paak

Bobby Lee
I love mints.
Anderson .Paak
They're called. It's called Wham. Mints. It's for drive mouth and dragon breath.
Bobby Lee
I have dry mouth.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah, they did make you your mouth wet. It's actually stands for wet ass mouth.
Bobby Lee
What's Andy's?
Anderson .Paak
Andy's is my club in WeHo.
Bobby Lee
Oh yeah.
Anderson .Paak
I got a supper club, live music.
Dumbfoundead
You've been there? Yeah, yeah, he's been here. I brought him.
Bobby Lee
I brought him.
Anderson .Paak
Next time I'll take you.
Bobby Lee

Anderson .Paak
Yeah, you won't have to pay for anything.
Bobby Lee
Oh, you.
Anderson .Paak
I. I saw you in the club.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, I was with Sherry or Terry, was it?
Dumbfoundead
Yeah, yeah, when we were with Sherry.
Bobby Lee
One one night.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah, my girl. Okay. Yeah. So that's Andy's and Weo got you some swag. I know you like the trucker hats.
Bobby Lee
Can I try?
Anderson .Paak
Please try it. Please try it.
Bobby Lee
So what's different here? Why does that make your mouth more moist?
Kalila
I like that. It's honey lemon ginger.
Anderson .Paak
Yes, Honey lemon ginger. It's doctor formulated. I started it with My partner, my vocal doctor, he's a Harvard graduate. He was looking for something to help combat dry mouth. It was invented in Vegas. So it's for, you know, you guys do the podcast. It's for performers. Anybody has to use their voice.
Kalila
Oh, it's good.
Anderson .Paak
You like it? Sugar free.
Bobby Lee
So, Anderson, when I did my special, the second show, I blew up my voice. Okay. Right. And the next day, I. I was. I was going to cancel them. Yeah, right. I was. So would this help?
Anderson .Paak
This would help.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. It's good prep m. I like the flavor.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah, it's good. Yeah.
Bobby Lee
Yeah.
Anderson .Paak
Okay. Nice.
Bobby Lee
Wow.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Pack House. That's my charity. My charity foundation.
Dumbfoundead
And your tour dates, man.
Anderson .Paak
And my tour dates. Yeah. Come check us out.
Dumbfoundead
Look at these stadiums.
Anderson .Paak
I know how you're going to check it out. This is overly sold out. Look at these st. Don't ask for.
Dumbfoundead
Tickets, but these are all stadiums. But Bruno Mars broke a record for the most ticket sales in the first day of release in history. And he. He's on this tour.
Bobby Lee
Amazing.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah. There we go.
Bobby Lee
And how many. You do a show every night or.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah, sometimes it's. Yeah, it's probably like three or four shows a night. Some places where we're in the same city for, like, three different shows.
Bobby Lee
Wow.
Anderson .Paak
And, yeah, he keeps adding dates, too, so.
Dumbfoundead
Hey, there's an Englewood show.
Anderson .Paak
Yes.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. Now, I want to talk about logistics. When you're doing it, does. You don't to tell me where, but does Bruno stay in the same hotel as you do?
Anderson .Paak
I don't know. Last time I went on tour with him, it was like 2016. And when we were on. We did a residency last time, and we were in the same hotel. He was in a different, like, room. Different type of room. But, yeah, it wasn't the same, you know, compound, I guess.
Bobby Lee
I mean, he probably gets a different room than you do.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bobby Lee
He gets, like, a suite or whatever.
Dumbfoundead
I think they got twin beds or whatever. You had a suite in Vegas.
Bobby Lee
I did. Thank you so much. That's crazy. I have other logistics, if I. If I may. Yeah, yeah. When you're at a show, like, you're at a city. Right, right. Does he go, yo, before the show, let's go to a restaurant, eat? I mean, how does that work? I, like, I'm concerned about eating.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bobby Lee
I'm just curious to see how that happens.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah, sometimes he does. Yeah. He'll be like, let's go eat. But honestly, like, both of us are the same. We don't really like to eat before the show. We like to get. Get it done and then we'll. Afterwards he's like what are we doing after?
Bobby Lee
Oh, so is there. Here's what I hate when you're on tour, right. When they're like. Because I've done theater tours with Andrew and it's like after the show. Like if they don't have it set up already. Right. Then you're eating Taco Bell. Yeah. Right.
Kalila
Yeah.
Anderson .Paak
Everything's close.
Bobby Lee
But is there a situation where Bruno can call probably any restaurant and stay open for us?
Dumbfoundead
Yep.
Bobby Lee
Right.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah. He'll. They'll shut it down.
Bobby Lee
Shut it down, do whatever. Yeah.
Anderson .Paak
That dude gets direct carpet.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. Yeah, that's good power.
Anderson .Paak
A lot of that in every city. Like try our spot out, you know.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean the mo. I could probably get a canes to open for me for that reason.
Veteran Support Announcer
That'd be amazing.
Dumbfoundead
Maybe. That's awesome.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. A canes or something. But I mean me and Andrew one time we were on tour and we sold like a 322-3000-seat place and we walked a mile to a Taco Bell.
Anderson .Paak
Wow.
Bobby Lee
Cuz there was nothing to eat ease. You know what I mean? So that's how we do it.
Dumbfoundead
But that's how we do.
Bobby Lee
Yeah. Can I. More logistics if I may. So going to city to city. Are you in the same flight situation as him or like does. Because he does. He does. Private.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah.
Bobby Lee
Right. Are you in the private. So you're doing Southwest?
Anderson .Paak
I might. I mean I can.
Dumbfoundead
Yeah.
Anderson .Paak
My budget's different than his, but yeah. So yeah, I'm trying to like keep some of the money that I'm gonna make on this tour. It should be great. So I have to be very smart with my budget but I don't mind hopping on a jet with him when I can. I'm very. I'm. I'm a little like sketched out about private jets though. I. I don't mind just taking the commercial flights. It's always the private jets that get butter.
Bobby Lee
Hot. Bloody hot.
Dumbfoundead
Epstein's list.
Kalila
Not to be the negative Nancy in the room, but did you hear about. About how the. I don't know what she does but she. But she's like some head of like traffic. Air traffic control and she's like the next mid air collision is going to be out of Burbank because of all the private jets and because of like limited airspace and a lot of commercial flights versus private jets.
Bobby Lee
I heard the same thing. Yeah.
Kalila
Yeah. Did it freak you out because I'm like, I fly out of Burbank.
Bobby Lee
I like, I like the risk.
Anderson .Paak
Something about living.
Bobby Lee
I live out there.
Anderson .Paak
This could be the day.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, but. Yeah, I heard that too. Yeah, but specifically Burbank. They said. Yeah, there's a lot of traffic.
Kalila
Yeah, those are the private jets situation.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah.
Dumbfoundead
Make sure I don't fly private.
Bobby Lee
Yeah, yeah. Would you prefer JSX or a regular flight?
Dumbfoundead
Oh no, jsx.
Bobby Lee
I love js. I love out of Burbanks. Yeah, it's my favorite.
Anderson .Paak
I mean. Yeah, JSX is great. I mean they only go a few places though. I don't. I've never.
Bobby Lee
In Vegas, you know.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah, Vegas, San Francisco, Mexico. So that's fine.
Bobby Lee
Oh yeah, it's great.
Anderson .Paak
You don't got to deal with the security and stuff as much.
Bobby Lee
I'm gonna see if there's any logist logistics. Oh, so when you're on tour, can I just. Last thing.
Anderson .Paak
Yes.
Bobby Lee
Okay. Do you wake up and get breakfast before you get back on the road or. No.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah, I like. I like coffee and breakfast.
Bobby Lee
I do. I love hotel breakfast.
Anderson .Paak
Yeah, me too.
Bobby Lee
I love the. If it's. You're in a nice hotel, the breakfast I love.
Anderson .Paak
Great. Something about it.
Bobby Lee
And then they do like a. They do it like an eggs Benedict. But there's. Now you go to certain cities and there's different styles.
Anderson .Paak
Styles. Yeah.
Bobby Lee
Right.
Anderson .Paak
Get a salmon one.
Bobby Lee
Get. Or. Or the one with the pork or you know, I mean like brazed pork.
Dumbfoundead
I like a egg station. Omelette station. Anyone?
Anderson .Paak
Discontinu.
Dumbfoundead
We're talking, we're talking about Benedict.
Bobby Lee
How do you.
Anderson .Paak
What?
Bobby Lee
Why, why was that the mood killer?
