Overview

The gang dives into Asian stereotypes, growing up Asian American, the art (and discomfort) of roasting, and the launch of Dumbfoundead’s new book Spit: A Life in Battles. The conversation mixes humor, real talk, and personal stories as they unpack what it means to be “battle ready” in comedy, rap, and life.

---

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Introducing Dumbfoundead’s Book — "Spit: A Life in Battles"

• Dumbfoundead (Johnny Park) joins to talk about his new book blending memoir, hip-hop wisdom, and Asian American experience.
• The crew does mock readings and group exercises from the book, especially focusing on stereotypes and how they show up in comedy and battle rap.
  • [04:02] Jaime reads the excerpt on roasting and reading the room:
    “What are your top five ways you could insult an Asian guy?”
    The crew plays out what a thought exercise looks like – intentionally poking at (and then deconstructing) such stereotypes.

2. Interrogating Asian Stereotypes

• The cast lists common Asian stereotypes—bad driving, eating rice, small eyes, being “good at math,” small penises, “all look alike”—and discusses their prevalence in pop culture and everyday life.
  • [08:10] MacKenzie: “Wait. Good at math. Small dicks.”
  • [09:38] Bobby: “Asians all look alike. So that was the idea that, like, I’m setting it up for my experience, obviously, in battles and things I’ve gotten hit with commonly.”
• Discussion ensues about why these persist, how they’ve evolved, and how sometimes even Asian Americans internalize or joke about the same stereotypes.

3. Comedy, Roasting & Self-Deprecation

• The panel debates what constitutes a roast versus a simple “observation” and the difference between self-deprecation and mean-spirited humor.
  • [12:02] Bobby Lee gives the classic definition:
    “A form of insult comedy where a specific person is subjected to jokes, ridicule, and playful mockery, often with an underlying tone of affection or intended humor.”
  • [10:26] Bobby Lee references 8 Mile:
    “It’s like the Eminem 8 Mile effect—where he went on stage and is like, yeah, I am trailer trash. I am white.”
• Some panelists admit they don’t enjoy traditional roast formats:
  • [14:27] Andrew: “I think roasts have punchlines in them. You know what I mean? And heavy references. ... A lot of it’s mean. For me, I feel bad about it.”

4. The Persistence (and Myth) of “Looking Alike”

• The group extends the “all look alike” stereotype to other groups, noting that media tropes play a role:
  • [27:01] George: “Brother is very universal.”
  • [28:06] Bobby Lee: “If I watch Game of Thrones, it’s tough. There’s a lot of kings and shit that I mistaken for each other.”
  • [31:00] Bobby, Katherine, and others riff on “white” and “black” celebrities who get confused, showing that confusion isn’t exclusively racial but also cultural and contextual.

5. Statistical Realities Debunking Stereotypes

• Dumbfoundead recaps stats from his book, such as debunking the myth of racial differences in penis size.
  • [32:43] George reads: “A 2015 study … analyzed 15,000 penises from around the world and determined no evidence that penis size differences were linked to race.”
  • [33:07] Bobby (joking): “I cannot confirm whether or not it was Asian researchers who conducted the study.”

6. Memoir, Family, and Asian American Upbringing

• Discussion about memoir writing, representation, shoutouts to other Asian American creatives (Ali Wong, Ken Jeong, Timothy DeLaGhetto), and stories of mistaken identity in entertainment.
  • [30:29] Bobby Lee recalls being confused with other Asian comics at events.
• Deep dives into family chapters:
  • [37:42] Bobby: “But my dad is the first chapter. ... There’s details about an affair. There’s all these things that I, you know ... Koreans don’t like all their business broadcast.”

7. Debating “Truth” in the Social Media Age

• The group reflects on today’s “contrarian” culture where everyone wants to “battle” and truth is up for debate:
  • [39:32] Bobby: “I have become quite the contrarian all the time ... Always wants to be the opposite end and debating things.”
  • [39:48] Andrew: “There also is—the truth is the truth. And when people can’t believe in the truth anymore, that’s the scary part.”

8. Growing Up Broke — Stories of Petty Crime & Survival

• The hosts and guests swap stories about “laundry shopping” (stealing from laundromats), finessing supermarkets/self-checkout, and “pizza car” heists in their youth.
  • [49:46] Bobby: “I would go into apartment buildings and go to the laundry room and steal clothes out of the washer and dryer while they’re washing.”
  • [51:12] Katherine: “I would walk in ... with already like an Albertsons bag and we would just stock it up with like blocks of cheese. ... It doesn’t feel that guilty when you’re stealing from corporate America.”

9. Fashion, Flexing, and Status Symbols

• Playful arguments over which brands are cool, overrated, or played out (FUBU, Von Dutch, Ed Hardy, Golden Goose, Gucci, etc.).
  • [54:12] Katherine tells a story of stealing a FUBU jacket to “feel American,” only to discover it was made in the Philippines.
  • [58:49] Bobby Lee: “Waikiki was made for rich Japanese tourists."
  • [70:45] Katherine: On Bobby’s Golden Goose sneakers: “It’s a very, like, Millennial girl brand. But maybe you are subverting something here.”

10. Kids, Parenting, and Fragility

• Parenting anxieties, the panic of “baby’s first breath,” the fragility of newborns, and why “rolling with it” isn’t quite as carefree as it sounds.
  • [76:09] Katherine: “There has to be a stopping point because you can’t keep writing about what’s currently ... mine ends in the late 20s.”
  • [77:15] Bobby Lee on holding his niece/nephew: “I was so scared to hold it because it’s so fragile ... like holding a 16th-century Chinese vase.”

11. Identity Breakdown – What Piece of the Pie Are You?

• Andrew and Bobby grill Dumbfoundead on what he considers himself: rapper, comedian, or actor.
  • [84:03] Bobby: “I would say 60% hip-hop artist, 25% actor, 15% writer/comedian.”
  • [84:44] Bobby: “Isn't Comic Con all encapsulating everything? ... Writer and performer and everything.”

Tone & Style

Throughout, the tone is candid, irreverent, playful but honest—reflective of Bobby Lee’s signature all-over-the-place but heartfelt hosting. The episode moves quickly between bit-driven comedy, personal vulnerability, creative debates, group nostalgia, and sharp cultural insights.

---

Takeaways

• The episode is a crash course in how Asian American comics and artists both process, challenge, and occasionally weaponize cultural stereotypes.
• Dumbfoundead’s new book, Spit: A Life in Battles, emerges as both a playful and serious reflection on a life defined by quick wit, survival, history, and biting back at the world’s assumptions.
• The group’s willingness to joke about, critique, and dissect their own communities—while holding space for painful realities—exemplifies the power (and risk) of self-aware comedy.

---

Final Rec:
If you’re interested in art, identity, or just want to hear Asian American comedians at their most honest, this episode is required listening—a layered mix of textbook TigerBelly chaos and cultural commentary.

[Bobby Lee]

Just, just, just.

[Andrew]

No, no, wait. That doesn't sound like. Does that sound like a thought exercise?

[Bobby Lee]

Well, it's starting with a thought. It.

[Andrew]

That sounds like a cure. This is how you do it, which is instructional.

[Katherine]

I don't think that he's going to tell you what to say about an Asian guy. I think it's just what do you what?

[Bobby Lee]

I'm going to practice what comes to the average mind.

[Andrew]

I'm going to practice him, all right?

[Katherine]

He's not going to be like, call him the C word or call.

[Andrew]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So let's talk about the average mind. Who has an average mind? I think, Jaime, you have the average mind.

[Jaime]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

Put the foot down. Put the book down. Put the foot down and close the book.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah. So if you close.

[Andrew]

Just close the book.

[Bobby Lee]

Okay. And read that first part for him.

[Andrew]

I am going to. Okay, cool. But I want you to just judge, okay, to see if this is perfect.

[Katherine]

A true thought exercise.

[Andrew]

A true thought exercise or telling people what to do.

[Katherine]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

Cool. Okay, here we go.

[Katherine]

If there's a C word or a G word.

[Andrew]

I don't know what you're talking about with those words. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. How to roast a room and read. No.

[Katherine]

Can you do it regular?

[Andrew]

Sorry, I'm gonna take my glasses off. I think it's fucking it.

[Bobby Lee]

All right, all right, go ahead, go ahead.

[Andrew]

How to roast and read the room.

[Bobby Lee]

Pretty.

[Andrew]

Could read. Good tone.

[Katherine]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

Okay, here's a little thought exercise. Oh. What are the top five ways you could insult an Asian guy? If you're Asian, you probably won't have to think too hard, but if you're not Asian, don't worry, you won't get canceled. Good. Okay, good. Already good, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

Okay.

[Andrew]

Most likely within your list are the following commonly held stereotypes. Now, this is where I'm gonna have a problem.

[Bobby Lee]

No, no, let's see.

[Andrew]

Okay, let's see. Okay. Asians have small.

[Bobby Lee]

Wait, hold on, hold on. I thought you're gonna try to see if he can guess the ones. That's the whole idea of the thought exercise.

[Andrew]

If you're not Asian.

[Bobby Lee]

If you're not Asian, like, what would be the first things you think of?

[Katherine]

All right, don't read it.

[Andrew]

No, I'm not gonna read it. So, all right, so here's some stereotypes held by people. And can you. Can it. Name them?

[Katherine]

Name one.

[Andrew]

Jaime.

[Jaime]

Terrible drivers.

[Andrew]

Okay, it's on it.

[Bobby Lee]

It's on it.

[George]

Yeah.

[Katherine]

I'll go. For a second, I'll go.

[Jaime]

Oh, rice eater.

[George]

I like that.

[Andrew]

It's a global thing.

[Katherine]

Yeah, that's not. That's not too bad, though, because I have been called, like, a rice picker.

[George]

Oh, interesting.

[Andrew]

It's still not. There's no way that, you know, that's.

[Bobby Lee]

That wouldn't be like if Steve Harvey. If Steve Harvey was like Family Feud. Is it on the board?

[Andrew]

Like, rice Picker would not be on Cabbage Eater. Oh, yeah, like Germans eat cabbage. People eat cabbage.

[Katherine]

Sauerkraut.

[Bobby Lee]

It's like racist Family Feud. It really is.

[George]

Yeah, I. What else?

[Jaime]

Think five.

[Andrew]

You got one.

[Bobby Lee]

Is there. There's five, right? Or something.

[Andrew]

You wrote it.

[Bobby Lee]

I know, and I'm saying, how many are there?

[Andrew]

Yeah, there's five.

[Jaime]

Small eyes.

[Andrew]

Okay, that's on. But I already said that.

[Jaime]

Okay, Small eyes, Something with instruments. Like, they're good with discipline.

[Andrew]

Those are. You're talking about Asian Attack.

[Bobby Lee]

That's a great compliment.

[Andrew]

It's a compliment. That's truth.

[George]

He's also Gen Z, so maybe they

[Andrew]

don't even know, you know. You know they have updates. I have an argument. I have an argument against that.

[Bobby Lee]

They got updated stereotypes. They're good at Tick tock. I don't know. This like K pop.

[Andrew]

See? No, you want to just.

[Bobby Lee]

Why don't you guys. Why don't you guess? George, George, George, you get.

[MacKenzie]

I was like waiting to get tagged in here.

[Andrew]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

Go ahead, George. Go ahead, George.

[Andrew]

You go close your book. Yeah.

[MacKenzie]

Wait. Good at math. Small dicks.

[Bobby Lee]

Slow down. Yeah, yeah. You nailed the math. Good at math.

[Andrew]

Yeah, you got two. You got two right on the number.

[Bobby Lee]

I think that's exactly how I wrote it, too.

[Andrew]

You know what I mean? Small dicks. Go ahead.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah, yeah.

[MacKenzie]

Let's see. Something about yellow.

[Andrew]

No. Oh, I'm already out. No, you get another shot. This next one is classic. I wouldn't say this is a thing, but go ahead.

[Katherine]

Oh, no, you can't just throw that around.

[Andrew]

What'd you say? No, no, it's not Asian slur.

[George]

It's not the list.

[Andrew]

This is your opportunity to do an Asian slur.

[Bobby Lee]

Okay, let's move on.

[Andrew]

What's the fifth one is like, we all look alike.

[Bobby Lee]

Asians all look al. So that was the idea that, like, I'm setting it up for my experience, obviously in battles and things I've gotten hit with commonly. And so those are.

[Andrew]

Well, there are other stereotypes that we.

[Bobby Lee]

And like, like I've said, like it's obvious because most of the people got it right.

[Andrew]

I understand, but what was the point of just listing only 5?

[George]

You have to read the rest of the chapter.

[Andrew]

Oh, you have to read the rest.

[Bobby Lee]

Come on.

[Katherine]

I'm going to get to.

[Andrew]

Oh, well, now I look terrible because

[Bobby Lee]

that's all I wrote.

[Andrew]

All right, go ahead.

[Katherine]

But it's like self explanatory. You have to know what. You got to anticipate what they're going to say about You? Yeah, already. So that you. You can give something back.

[Andrew]

Yeah, but I already have 19 bullets loaded. Sure. Every time I meet anybody, I. You hear in my mind, well, that's.

[Bobby Lee]

That's part of it. It's like. It's like the Eminem 8 mile effect where he went on stage and is like, yeah, I am a trailer trash. I am white.

[Andrew]

I am, you know, whatever you call yourself out first.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah. It's. It's the tactic of, like. It's comedy. Right. Like, you know that.

[Andrew]

I mean, do you know it?

[MacKenzie]

I know.

[Andrew]

I'm kidding. I think you're probably very funny, but don't be.

[Katherine]

Roasting is so. Oh, that's about roasting, right? Yeah, because, like, I feel like how

[George]

to roast and read the.

[Andrew]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Katherine]

Because I feel like there are some really good, like, standups who don't know how to, like, roast, like, at all, or that's not, like, their strength. Right.

[Bobby Lee]

Sure.

[Katherine]

And I don't think you like to roast. You don't ever do those.

[Andrew]

Andrew. Andrew and I don't like to roast. Not that we can't.

[Katherine]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

I just feel it to be mean.

[Bobby Lee]

You do it all the time on the podcast.

[Andrew]

No, no, I don't

[Bobby Lee]

mean. When was he like.

[Andrew]

I've never roasted on the podcast. That's insane.

[Bobby Lee]

You roasted me on and off the podcast all the time.

[Andrew]

I don't know the definition of roast.

[George]

You talk about Kalila's eyes every podcast, Bobby.

[Andrew]

They're called truths.

[Jaime]

Yeah, that's a rose.

[Andrew]

That's not a rose. Oh. So what's the difference between observations?

[Bobby Lee]

Well, the truth is, what's the difference

[Andrew]

between observation and a roast?

[Bobby Lee]

The roast kind of have to hit after they see you to, like. Okay, this might be a small truth. You know what I mean? I think there needs to be some sort of kernel of truth that you can connect.

[Andrew]

I think what I do, though, is, is that if I might be. You know. And, you know, here's another thing. You know, a lot of people think I'm aggressive on the podcast, and I'm

[Katherine]

bullyish that you roast all day.

[George]

You're one of the best roasters in the podcast.

[Bobby Lee]

Here's the definition of the roast.

[Andrew]

Yeah. What is the definition?

[Bobby Lee]

A form of insult comedy where a specific person is subjected to jokes, ridicule, and playful mockery, often with an underlying tone of affection or intended humor.

[George]

That's like your whole.

[Andrew]

Okay. That's like.

[George]

Yeah, there's love behind it.

[Andrew]

No, no, let me defend. Let me defend myself real quick. Okay.

[Katherine]

Who just left the Guy who said the C word.

[Andrew]

Oh, yeah, yeah. No, I still haven't forgot about that.

[Jaime]

What? Oh, I can't get canceled. Hey, look, and this. This one's funny. You wrote that.

[George]

We found your audience. You found your audience.

[Bobby Lee]

Well, don't say.

[Jaime]

I'm not gonna say that one.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jaime]

Here's a roast for you, Bobby.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Jaime]

I'll beat your ass like a Korean dad when you bring a B in math. Where's that from? Is this from a movie?

[Bobby Lee]

It's a line that I got hit with. I'll beat your ass like a Korean dad.

[Andrew]

Oh, say it like what you're asking me.

[Bobby Lee]

I'll beat your ass like a Korean dad when you bring home a B in math.

[Andrew]

And Era goes.

[Bobby Lee]

And then he starts pop locking. He starts doing the robot.

[Andrew]

That's what they do. That's what they do, right?

[Bobby Lee]

They don't do that.

[Andrew]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Give me another one. I want to. I like this one.

[Jaime]

Which. Which one of y. Oh, you read that one.

[Andrew]

Yeah, you read it.

[Bobby Lee]

No, no, there's another.

[Andrew]

Give me a roast. I'm going to. Okay.

[Jaime]

When it's raining cats and dogs, you run outside. You run outside with packs of sauce.

[George]

I want.

[Andrew]

Oh, you can't see me.

[Bobby Lee]

All right, say one more. Say one more.

[Jaime]

Yo, look at your moon shaped Lucy Lou face. Your dick is half used. Tube of a toothpaste.

[Bobby Lee]

And then the head explodes. Just.

[Andrew]

Well, I understand. Understand it now. Yeah, I understand.

[Bobby Lee]

The funny thing is all those jokes don't work against him.

[Andrew]

They're not good at all.

[Bobby Lee]

Shut up.

[Andrew]

Well, you got. Here's the thing.

[Bobby Lee]

Well, you know, if you're reading the. The roast in a book, it's not going to hit the same.

[Andrew]

It's a good book.

[Bobby Lee]

It's a good book.

[Katherine]

Thank you.

[Bobby Lee]

You haven't even read the book.

[Andrew]

I read the whole book three times.

[Bobby Lee]

You didn't read.

[Andrew]

I read it backwards. Yeah, yeah. So what I want to say is. And I. I just want to get to this argument and let's. We can move on.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Andrew]

Is that. Me and Andrew don't roast. Like, we've been asked to do roasts on Comedy Central, and it's like, number one, I don't write that way.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

And I think roasts have punchlines in them. You know what I mean? And heavy references. I mean, they're designed, right. I mean, a good roast is clever. You know what I mean? They usually have cultural significance of what's going on now. And I think that. And they're mean a lot of it's mean. So it's like. For me, it's like I feel bad about it, what I'm doing here on this podcast. And just literally looking at your face.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

Right. And just seeing what I'm seeing.

[George]

So what would you say now?

[Andrew]

I just think that he's. Now, how you doing? I could say like this. You know, some people call choking the chicken. That was a friend of mine in the neighborhood stroking the pipe. That's another friend of mine.

[Katherine]

You know, I like. I. I like the word wank. I feel like it's a little less aggressive.

[Andrew]

I like spanking the monkey. Hey, baby, what's up? Slap. Slapping the salami, baby.

[Jaime]

Back in my neighborhood, I used to wank the papaya.

[Katherine]

Oh, my God.

[Andrew]

I've never heard of that. Hello. So anyway, masturbate.

[Katherine]

Listen, masturbation is perfectly normal, perfectly healthy, and you may not be masturbating enough if you.

[Andrew]

Or have sexual intercourse.

[Katherine]

All the good, you know?

[Andrew]

All the good.

[Katherine]

Yeah.

[George]

And then when you're done, use a tissue.

[Katherine]

Yeah. Don't use your old socks or don't use. Whatever.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Katherine]

Be a gentleman and use it.

[Andrew]

Yeah. Yeah. Beat cancer off.

[Katherine]

What does that mean?

[Andrew]

What I do is I masturbate, ejaculate 21 times out of the month. Do you know why?

[Katherine]

Well, I do.

[Andrew]

Why?

[Katherine]

For your health. Right. It's for your health to prevent prostate cancer.

[Andrew]

Yeah. And I. And I urge everyone out there to get their prostate checked. Right? Because. And, you know, a lot of people go, oh, man, you know, I'm holding it in. You know, I don't think that's a good thing.

[Katherine]

Well, fuck Cancer wants men to beat cancer off. Literally. Research suggests that men who ejaculate 21 plus times a month may actually reduce their risk of prostate cancer by up to 22%.

[Andrew]

My God. Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in men, and screening rates remain dangerously low. This initiative is crucial.

[Jaime]

Early detection saves lives.

[Katherine]

Take prevention into your own hand, your literal hand, and then put it in your doctors.

[Andrew]

Get a prostate screening today. Do it now, man. Go to beat canceroff.com for more information.

[George]

And make sure you watch the music

[Andrew]

video Bild B I L T Billed BILT started out rewarding members on their rent. Now, as of 2026, BILT members can also earn points on mortgage payments wherever they live.

[Katherine]

I mean, we can all agree, right? Like, housing is super expensive. Rent, mortgage, it doesn't matter which one you're paying. It stings every month, but BILT can make it feel a little Bit better. And Bobby, please explain.

[Andrew]

Well, every housing payment earns you points on bilt you can use toward flights with top travel partners like United and Hyatt. Lyft rides, Amazon.com purchases and so much, much, much, much more.

[Katherine]

Okay, can I just say, like, I'm a soul cycle freak, so I would personally spend it on my fitness because I need it.

[Jaime]

I like cars, so I'll use Lyft Rides.

[Andrew]

Yeah, but you don't own the car.

[George]

Yeah, but what's experienced.

[Andrew]

You would expect Every car.

[Bobby Lee]

Well, it's closed, but here's the thing.

[Andrew]

That's not even funny. Yeah, yeah, cut that part out.

[Bobby Lee]

No, we're keeping that. We're keeping that.

[Andrew]

That's. I mean, that's why my roast. I'm not a roaster.

[Bobby Lee]

No, no, but here's the thing.

[Andrew]

Just tell, right, The.

[Bobby Lee]

You know, the Comedy Central roasts are more prepared.

[Andrew]

You look more like a moon than me.

[Bobby Lee]

Okay. All right.

[Andrew]

I mean, look at your skin color. You're. I mean, way more moon than me.

[Bobby Lee]

He just moved on because his. It didn't hit on Jaime. So he's like, let me move on to this guy. No, but what I mean is there's multiple styles, right? Like, you have the Comedy Central. Everyone's prepared, and they're setting it up and doing culturally relevant stuff. But if you're in a room with, like, 12 black dudes, then they're gonna. Every second there's a roast, you know? I mean, like, every three seconds.

[Andrew]

If I was in a room with 12 black dudes, right? That'd be. I would say anything.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah, what would you say?

[Andrew]

Nothing.

[Bobby Lee]

You didn't say anything.

[Andrew]

Yeah, because I don't know the rules.

[Bobby Lee]

The rules is just everyone's hitting each other. Jack.

[Andrew]

If. Are they 12 black guys? I know. Well, yeah, then that's fine. Yeah, yeah, it'll be the same.

[Bobby Lee]

What would be.

[Andrew]

The two random black guys walk into a barber from Detroit or D.C. you know, I mean, and I'm just sitting there. Let's do it. You know, I'm not going to say anything.

[Bobby Lee]

I feel like you would get warmed up and then kind of.

[Andrew]

I don't think I would get warmed up.

[Bobby Lee]

No, no, no. You don't think.

[Andrew]

No, no, no. I told this story the other day 20 years ago. I was at the DC Improv and I did my show. I walked out, it was second show late, and I bumped into this black dude and I go. And I felt bad. Cause I think I was kind of more leaning in toward him. I didn't see him.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

Cause it was dark.

[Katherine]

Wow. That like flew over my head.

[George]

I think it flew over all our heads.

[Andrew]

That wasn't the story. You know what I mean?

[Bobby Lee]

It didn't fly over my head.

[Andrew]

I know, but whenever it pause like that, I want to know.

[Andrew]

And I just instinctively went, I'm sorry, brother. I said, brother. And he turned around, he goes, I ain't your brother, mother. Right. And I went, I just thought about it. Like, I ruminate on things.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

All night long. Just like, what did I do wrong? What could have been different? You know what I mean? I should have just said, my bad. And that's it. Like, I just, it just came out like that. And it had no intention of.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

You know, I mean, then I realized, oh, I can't call my black friend's brother.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah, he might, he might have added like, he might have thought you added that in just for him. Yeah, just for him.

[Andrew]

No, but have I not bumped into you, George, and said brother?

[George]

I say all the time.

[MacKenzie]

Socal term.

[George]

Brother.

[Bobby Lee]

You think it's here?

[MacKenzie]

Brother.

[Andrew]

Yeah, brother.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah, yeah.

[Andrew]

What is the equivalent of brother with Asian Z man, Asians? If I was a white guy, I bumped into you and he said something that would make you snap. What is the equivalent of brother?

[MacKenzie]

Excuse me, Math whiz.

[Bobby Lee]

Jesus.

[George]

With that voice too?

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah, with that voice.

[Jaime]

Excuse me. Math wins.

[Andrew]

Literally.

[Bobby Lee]

I would not get mad like, yeah, my bad China. Or something, you know, like that.

[Katherine]

Sorry about that. Like, yeah, like that. Or hello Kitty or something like that.

[Jaime]

China.

[Sponsor Voice]

Sorry.

[Bobby Lee]

Squid games. Know that's crazy.

[Andrew]

Oh, yeah, yeah, my bad. Squid games.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

Let me see how I feel that.

[George]

Is that the same though?

[Sponsor Voice]

That's just like.

[Bobby Lee]

That's like the same offensive thing.

[Andrew]

That's a good piece of work too. You. Me, you know, I mean, it's. It's like you Know how about if

[Katherine]

it was something like oppa or it's

[Andrew]

like if I ran into the black Ey and I went. My bad blackboard jungle. Because that was Sydney Pelpon movie.

[Katherine]

Oh, yeah.

[Andrew]

You know what I mean? That's why.

[Bobby Lee]

That's explaining that.

[Andrew]

That's what they.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Andrew]

We. I don't think you would have the same.

[George]

You know, I mean, isn't brother universal at this point?

[Andrew]

That's what I'm saying.

[George]

Brother. Er, is very universal.

[Andrew]

I did a really hard R. Yeah. I mean, so maybe that was a problem. Brother. No, I went brother. That was also 15, 20 years ago. I think things would be different. Yeah. I mean, brother. Because anyway, why did I even get into that story? Oh, back to stereotypes and this and that.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

Do you know other.

[George]

Do you see this?

[Andrew]

I don't want to see it. You don't have to see.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah, okay.

[George]

Whatever.

[Andrew]

Yeah, I don't want to see it. Okay, thank you. But where are some other stereotypes that you think we have?

[Bobby Lee]

Well, that's. That's the whole thing about the book.

[Andrew]

I was talking. Because the Asians. Asians look alike. I think is wrong.

[Bobby Lee]

No, I think people have said that.

[Katherine]

People definitely said.

[Bobby Lee]

People have definitely said.

[Andrew]

Well, through my wisdom and through my fury, I.

[Bobby Lee]

Which I think, to me, it's like every race. If on a show, sometimes you get confused. Like, if I watch Game of Thrones, it's tough. There's a lot of kings and shit that I mistaken for each other.

[Andrew]

What do you mean?

[Bobby Lee]

I'm saying it happens with every culture. Every culture.

[Andrew]

You know, I saw Pete Holmes the other day, and I thought it was Tucker Carlson. I'm not kidding you.

[Katherine]

I believe you.

[Andrew]

Yeah, yeah. He came into the room. I go, oh, my God, Tucker Carlson's here.

[Katherine]

Yeah. For the longest time, I thought Katy Perry and Zooey Deschanel. Like, I couldn't.

[Andrew]

That's what I'm saying. So that stereotype of Asian people looking alive.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah, yeah. I mean, it's like Zoe Saldana and Sandy.

[Katherine]

Sandy Newton.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah, they get that a lot too. Like doppelganger kind of vibes. Yeah, I think Audrey, Margaret, Margot Quali and Samantha.

[Andrew]

No, just to let him say. What'd you say?

[Bobby Lee]

No, not Margaret. Quality.

[Andrew]

No, no, no, no, no, no. So you don't have to.

[Bobby Lee]

Okay.

[Andrew]

What'd you say?

[Bobby Lee]

The.

[Jaime]

The girl. The lady from the Wolf of Wall Street.

[Katherine]

What's her name?

[George]

He's just listing credits. What's the name?

[Jaime]

Something. Something. Robbie.

[Andrew]

Yeah, there you go.

[Jaime]

And then that lady from Ready or not.

[Andrew]

What's her name, something. Okay.

[Jaime]

I don't know these ladies.

[Andrew]

I understand that. But it's like sometimes people confuse you

[Bobby Lee]

for just the same type of genre of thing you're in.

[Andrew]

You're right. I just want to address this real quick.

[Bobby Lee]

Okay, go ahead, please.

[Andrew]

If you don't know what you're going to say it.

[Jaime]

I said it.

[George]

You already said it.

[Andrew]

What I'm saying you're right and I'm wrong.

[Bobby Lee]

People have definitely called you, like, another Asian comedian just because you guys are both Asian in, like, the same genre of thing. I'm sure.

[Andrew]

Yeah, that's happened. Yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

I'm sure they've said, like, Ken Jong or this, you know, like.

[Andrew]

Well, no, I got. One time, I got hired. I. And this is way before, like, Internet had just started. And Matt Blake calls me, go, this is a weird one. But they're huge fans and they want you to this convention in Texas.

[Katherine]

This.

[Andrew]

And I go, how much is it? And they gave me it was pretty good money. And so I go, I'll do it. The day before, the guy. I forgot what company it was, he called me. He goes, hey, I just want to ask. We're excited. You have a Southern accent, right? And I go, oh, you're thinking about Henry.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

Right? And they go, oh, that's crazy.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah, we.

[Andrew]

We don't want. We're not gonna do it. And I go, okay, I get it.

[Bobby Lee]

That's wild.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

That happens with me and Timothy Daylight Chalamet. Yeah, me and Chalamet. Yeah. Tim Chunk Durangsu. Timothy delaghetto. You know, Love him.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

But, like, it's because we're both in hip hop spaces. Like, you look down, you look more like Timothy Chalamet.

[Katherine]

Yeah, you look cool.

[Andrew]

You. You really do more look like.

[Bobby Lee]

But I get that.

[Katherine]

Just.

[Andrew]

Good point.

[Bobby Lee]

Two people that are in, like, a specific space, you know, that, like, Asian dudes in hip hop are wilding out or whatever.

[Andrew]

Let me see. I have gotten this. Yeah, yeah.

[George]

Someone. People made a lit. Do you guys see these ones?

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

Lake Bell and Amed. They do not look.

[Katherine]

Do not look alike at all because Lake Bell is a very specific.

[Andrew]

They look nothing alike. That's crazy. Crazy. That's crazy.

[Bobby Lee]

Crazy.

[Jaime]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

Peter Dinklage and Iced tea.

[Andrew]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

I kind of could see that one.

[George]

Yes.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

That one's really hard.

[George]

Margot Robbie and James.

[Bobby Lee]

This one's.

[Andrew]

Yeah, that's really hard. Like, I can see myself go up Margot Robbie.

[Bobby Lee]

They just have that. A certain look. They have a vibe for sure.

[Katherine]

No. You know who's the. It's Javier Bardem and that other guy.

[Andrew]

Yes. That's a hard one. That's a difficult.

[Katherine]

Look it up. Like.

[Andrew]

That's a hard one.

[Bobby Lee]

I could see this.

[Katherine]

Like, it's the guy from, like, what show? He's a. He's in a couple movies, isn't. He's in, like, that.

[George]

Oh, Jeffrey. Dean Morgan.

[Katherine]

Yes.

[George]

Oh, Negan.

[Andrew]

[George]

They do have the same face.

[Katherine]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

Can you put him back here? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Area. What do we got?

[Bobby Lee]

Look at that bottom line. Oh, wow. Wow.

[Andrew]

Yeah, yeah. So white people, Mexican people, Spanish people. Everyone looks.

[Bobby Lee]

Everyone has to see.

[Katherine]

That's a really good one. Margot Robb, Emma Mackey from sex education.

[Andrew]

Yeah, that's a tough one.

[Katherine]

Extremely similar. Like, they could be sisters.

[Andrew]

Yeah. So that stereotype. Let's go back to the stereotype. Yeah. That stereotype to me is not real.

[Bobby Lee]

That's what I'm saying. Yeah.

[Andrew]

The Asian people.

[Bobby Lee]

Well, so if you further read it so it doesn't look like I'm just teaching how to. People, stop teaching people how to roast.

[Andrew]

What the whole book is about, guys,

[Bobby Lee]

is I break down house. A lot of those things are false. Statistically, too. I actually have facts and historical.

[Andrew]

Well, I. Well, statistically, I think the Asian eyes, you know, I mean, let me give you the. Give me the statistics on the Asian eyes.

[Bobby Lee]

Well, take a look. Read.

[Andrew]

Well, you didn't memorize it. You wrote it.

[Bobby Lee]

I didn't memorize the whole.

[Andrew]

I want to know statistically. Asian Eyes, page 98.

[George]

As for dick size, A.O. a 2015 study published in the BJU International Journal of Urology analyzed 15,000 penises from around the world and determine no evidence that penis size differences were linked to race.

[Andrew]

The. Bingo. Thank you for doing the.

[Bobby Lee]

And then what else did I say at the end of the.

[George]

Got some jokes. I know.

[Andrew]

Read the jokes. Read the jokes.

[George]

The punchline is, I cannot confirm whether or not it was Asian researchers who conducted the study.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah, that's. That's the joke. Sorry.

[George]

No, that's why I didn't read it. Works better when you read it.

[Bobby Lee]

Yes, yes. You got to read it on your own.

[Andrew]

All right.

[Bobby Lee]

Why don't you write a book of jokes?

[Andrew]

All right.

[Bobby Lee]

Your jokes didn't hit earlier, too.

[Katherine]

All right, wait.

[George]

I will say. Yeah, Listeners should keep reading this. It's actually really fun.

[Andrew]

It really is enlightening.

[George]

It's fun.

There's a mention of you, too, in there.

[George]

What page is Bobby?

[Bobby Lee]

No, the same small dick section. Come on. That one should have got.

[Andrew]

No, I know, but it hurts actually.

[George]

Did you mention Bobby in this?

[Bobby Lee]

I know I did. I mentioned something about me having, like, a list of like. Like, petty things. I keep, like, list. And him talking about me never being an action star. I put it on the list.

[Andrew]

Nice. I mentioned one time, and you're mentioned

[Bobby Lee]

Talks about Sun Kang here.

There's a good. There's a good three mentions of you throughout the book.

[Bobby Lee]

There's no paragraph.

[Andrew]

But there's. Ali Wong had that paragraph.

[Bobby Lee]

No, Ali Wong I don't think is mentioned in the book.

[Andrew]

No, but for me and in her book, I was a paragraph.

[Bobby Lee]

Oh, you're A whole paragraph.

[Andrew]

Yeah, yeah. And I.

[Bobby Lee]

Crazy. I mean, mentions are stronger than a paragraph, you know?

[Andrew]

Okay. Yeah. All right. I mean, because, you know. You know, brother. We're brothers.

[Bobby Lee]

You're mentioned in the book. 100.

[Andrew]

All right, I'll mention in my book.

[Bobby Lee]

What would your book be about, actually?

[Andrew]

My life story.

[Bobby Lee]

Your whole life story.

[Andrew]

I just said that.

[Katherine]

No, because. That's a good point. Your whole life or what is going on?

[Bobby Lee]

Because here's the difference.

[Andrew]

Honestly, what is going on here? Here.

[Bobby Lee]

So mine is a whole life memoir. Memoir focuses on a period of time. Like, it doesn't follow me all the way till right now. Do you know what I'm saying? So that's an autobiography of memoirs.

[Andrew]

Ask me again.

[Bobby Lee]

Okay. What would your memoir be about?

[Andrew]

My life story. Say what you're saying.

[Bobby Lee]

What would your book be about?

[Andrew]

My life story.

[Bobby Lee]

Okay.

[Andrew]

And then your. You said your whole life story.

[Bobby Lee]

A whole life story. But that's what I meant.

[Andrew]

I have a joke.

[Bobby Lee]

Okay. Your whole life story.

[Andrew]

Yeah. No,

[George]

How did you get confused in your own.

[Andrew]

I know, because he kept. He didn't Understand it. I gotta get it out.

[Bobby Lee]

No, but I did explain.

[Andrew]

I have a tick. No, do it again.

[Sponsor Voice]

Okay.

[Bobby Lee]

What would your book be about?

[Andrew]

My life story.

[Bobby Lee]

Your whole life story?

[Andrew]

No. October 12, 2012. All right, I know, but if.

[Jaime]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

Do the thing.

[Katherine]

Because it's too many twelves.

[Bobby Lee]

I. I would say. I would really. I think. I think you should write a book, Bobby. I think you should write.

[Andrew]

I am writing one.

[Bobby Lee]

Are you?

[Andrew]

Yes. Autobiography and autobiographical.

[Bobby Lee]

Oh, I didn't know that.

[Katherine]

One word per day.

[Bobby Lee]

One word per day.

[Andrew]

I do one word for it per day.

[George]

If you had to do a memoir, what part of your life would you write a whole book about?

[Andrew]

Like a memoir? Well, there's chapters to my. You know, probably. If I. If I were going to do it, I would do it like an era.

[George]

Where would.

[Katherine]

Where would it end?

[George]

What's the most iconic?

[Andrew]

Well, it's not done.

[Katherine]

No, just. I'm saying, like, there has to be a stopping point because you can't keep

[Bobby Lee]

writing about what's currently mine ends in the late 20s.

[Andrew]

Just to clarify, I think my. By the time I finish the book is that time. Oh, I mean, like, I'll write it. The last thing. I mean, currently, this is the. The last line is like, I'm currently this old and doing this.

[Katherine]

How many mentions does Johnny get?

[Andrew]

I don't know how much.

[George]

How many mentions? Obviously, number one, I think Kalila's a chapter.

[Bobby Lee]

That's a chapter. I have a chapter about a girl in my book.

[Katherine]

Is that the one you wrote back and forth?

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah.

[Katherine]

Oh, I love.

[Bobby Lee]

I have. I have a. I have a part about it of visiting Korea for the first time.

[Andrew]

Meeting stuffy.

[Bobby Lee]

No, no, no, no, no.

[Andrew]

How many times has Stephanie.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah. She hasn't mentioned in a. About a song. And I put her in a song, like, subliminally, she should have a chapter. Okay.

[Andrew]

All right.

[Bobby Lee]

Okay, cool.

[George]

And Rick.

[Bobby Lee]

Rick has a section in there too,

[Andrew]

because who has them? Who's the most mentioned again? Let me guess.

[Bobby Lee]

My dad.

[Andrew]

No, they got Anderson Park.

[Bobby Lee]

No, he wrote the forward.

[Andrew]

Of course. He wrote the foreign. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

But my dad is the first chapter. And I feel bad because I said a lot of things about him that if he actually read it, like, if it was translated, it's pretty deep. So break him a little bit. I mean, I don't speak highly of him in the book.

[Katherine]

Book.

[Bobby Lee]

So I conflicted with that part afterwards.

[Andrew]

I was like, is this when he read it? Was he mad?

[Bobby Lee]

He's never read it and I haven't.

[Andrew]

Why Is he read it?

[Bobby Lee]

Because first, it's in English and his English isn't that great. Second, I haven't. It's. It's a little tough because there's a lot of details of like growing up with him, you know, the abusive parts, stuff you've talked about. But like, your dad wasn't like. Was he listening to your podcast and stuff when you were talking about him?

[Andrew]

He doesn't know. My dad didn't know what show business or what music was. Yeah. Mean, there's like you go to a mall and something would be playing. It's almost like white noise or whatever. They don't register it. They don't like it. The first. I already told you a million times. What the first song you ever fucking listened to. Yeah, yeah. So it's like.

[Bobby Lee]

But what if somebody actually translate all the stuff you said about him on the pod like directly to him? Explained it. Would he be hurt by that?

[Andrew]

He wouldn't even understand. I don't think what I was even saying. He'd be. Oh, good. Very good. You're a piece of. Ah, good, good.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah, yeah.

[Katherine]

So good.

[Andrew]

You're going to have. Yeah, yeah. He doesn't know. There's like. No.

[Bobby Lee]

I do wonder if this was translated. He read it in Korean. If it would hurt him, you know.

[Andrew]

Right. It probably will a little bit. Is it the truth?

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah, there's details about an affair. There's all these things that I, you know. And Koreans don't like all their business broadcast. I do that.

[Andrew]

I do.

[Bobby Lee]

I think everyone likes to debate more than ever or be contrarians. Everyone loves to battle with the pro. Like a life in battles.

[Andrew]

But the problem. Life in battle. Yeah, you're right.

[George]

Don't be doomed.

[Andrew]

Do you think this is healthy? I do feel like battles.

[Bobby Lee]

Well, I just. I do feel like I. I have become quite the contrarian all the time. Like when somebody has a point of view in the pod, you know, I'm always like. Wants to be the opposite end and debating things and I don't know.

[Andrew]

Yeah, but there. But there also is the truth is the truth.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

And when people don't. Can't believe in the truth anymore.

[Katherine]

That's scary.

[Andrew]

That's the scary part.

[Bobby Lee]

It is. It's happening. No one can believe.

[Andrew]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

Anything now.

[Andrew]

And it's like these are a pair of glasses, you know, I mean, very expensive. And did the battle. The battle. Going back to the battle.

[Katherine]

It's like even being argued that one plus one isn't two. Right.

[Andrew]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Katherine]

Like that's an argument.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Katherine]

People are like, no, one plus one is not two.

[Andrew]

Yeah, yeah, like that. Like the argument of. I mean I. I hate to get political.

[George]

That's a real argument.

[Andrew]

That's a very good. That's a real argument.

[George]

Mathematical argument.

[Andrew]

What a movie. What a movie. You know, I really love Bob Odenkirk's Rise. You know, we had David Cross here and from Mr. Xiao and from the creator of John Wick and Nobody. You see nobody?

[Katherine]

I haven't seen nobody yet.

[Andrew]

Oh my. There's two of them.

[Katherine]

Really?

[Andrew]

Yeah. I love both of them. Yeah. Comes a new movie called Normal. A double barreled shotgun blast of pure mayhem for sheriff Ulysses, played by Bob Odenkirk. A new job as temporary sheriff in a quaint town of Normal, Minnesota was meant to be a welcome respite from recent troubles.

[Katherine]

But when a botched bank robbery interrupts the piece, a dark secret is exposed and Ulysses discovers that the town is anything but its namesake. And suddenly everyone is trying to shoot the sheriff. And he has to rely on his wits and some crooks if he is to survive the night. And that's all before the Yakuza. The Yakuza show up.

[Andrew]

Starring Bob Odenkirk. Henry Winkler and Lena Headey.

[Jaime]

See it only in theaters starting April 17th.

[George]

What did you guys think of the trailer?

[Andrew]

I thought the trailer was great. I think that he's on a roll. And Magnolia Pictures is a great production company. I don't think you can go wrong with it. So it looks great.

[Katherine]

Looks amazing.

[Andrew]

Yep.

[George]

Check it out.

[Bobby Lee]

I had a North Korean dude on my podcast, and he, he was saying,

[George]

that's not an insult.

[Andrew]

I've never met in North Korea.

[Bobby Lee]

That would be a battle line that I would get used against me.

[Jaime]

No.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

He said that at one plus one in classrooms in North Korea is just bigger one. That's what they said he learned growing up. One plus one is bigger one. Yeah.

[Andrew]

Wait, wait. One plus one is bigger one larger

[Katherine]

one where you learn math.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Katherine]

Changes your whole, like, life trajectory. Holy. Did you not read Malcolm Gladwell and, like, how, like, math is taught in Asia versus how mad math is taught here?

[Andrew]

Oh, to teach me the Asian math.

[Katherine]

I, I, I forgot I was raised in Asia, but somehow I've forgotten. But, but I think that it, yeah, it, it, it changes the way, like, society is even built, like, agriculture, like, everything. Right?

[MacKenzie]

Yeah. It was like how you count in Chinese is a, is automatic math. Like, it's 20 plus 2. It is 22. So you, you know, like, addition a lot easier.

[Andrew]

Oh, 20 plus two is 22. That is true. Yeah, that is true. That's very interesting. Do Hispanics have a certain way that to do math?

[Jaime]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

Tell me.

[Jaime]

Like, in Mexico, they'll do, like, like the fruits.

[George]

Oh, instead of numbers, they just use fruits.

[Andrew]

They use fruits? Yeah. What kind of fruit?

[Jaime]

Oranges? Papaya?

[Andrew]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Jaime]

Pineapple.

[Andrew]

Pineapple.

[Jaime]

No. I don't know. Did you make that up? Sound of my ass.

[Andrew]

Yeah, we knew you made it up.

[George]

You didn't trick us.

[Jaime]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

Yeah. I've never seen a Mexican guy on the ground going, mango here.

[Bobby Lee]

They use Uno

[Andrew]

cards.

[George]

Oh, Skip.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Jaime]

I don't know. I didn't grow up in Mexico.

[Andrew]

I, I, we understand that you grew up in Texas.

[Bobby Lee]

What's the highest math you gone to? I, I think I stopped at pre

[Andrew]

algebra my senior year in high school. I walked into my math class, and guess who was in my class. My brother. He was a freshman.

[Bobby Lee]

Wow.

[Katherine]

You were in geometry then?

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Katherine]

In your senior year?

[Andrew]

I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. And I go, what are you doing here, Steve? My brother goes, what are you doing here? I really do bad at this. You know this.

[Bobby Lee]

That's hilarious.

[Andrew]

I was in With. With a bunch of freshmen.

[Bobby Lee]

Oh, my gosh.

[Andrew]

Yeah, yeah. I mean, we sat next to each other was a blast. We would draw little figurines.

[Bobby Lee]

Was he a better student than you?

[Andrew]

He went to college. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he went.

[Katherine]

He also said freshman's English was also very strong.

[Bobby Lee]

Freshmen.

[Andrew]

It's freshmen's.

[George]

Yeah, yeah.

[Andrew]

It's. There's a plural.

[Bobby Lee]

Okay.

[Andrew]

There's one person that shows up. Hi, I'm a freshman.

[Bobby Lee]

Okay. Can't wait to.

[Andrew]

I'm the only one.

[Bobby Lee]

I can't wait to read your book.

[Andrew]

Pick me up.

[George]

It makes sense. It makes sense.

[Andrew]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

All right.

[Andrew]

Sophomores.

[Katherine]

I shouldn't talk. I. My English.

[Andrew]

I. It's. It's weird that you would correct me on that.

[Katherine]

It was just funny at the time.

[Andrew]

Pre algebra. Yeah. Yeah. I think I did better than you.

[Bobby Lee]

I think you did.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

What was geometry? Is that after pre algebra or.

[Katherine]

No, wait, did you then. Now geometry is before.

[Andrew]

Yeah, I went before.

[Katherine]

Did you then get your gd?

[Jaime]

No.

[Katherine]

Oh, you don't have.

[Andrew]

You have.

[Bobby Lee]

No. I dropped out of 10th grade and my parents didn't even know. I dropped out for another two years.

[Andrew]

Wow.

[George]

How did you fake it?

[Bobby Lee]

I would wake up, put on my backpack, go to the bus stop, and just go chill at some friend's house and extra two years and just smoke weed. Yeah, yeah.

[Jaime]

Friend.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah, yeah. You know, my younger sister dropped that, too, so we're both.

[Andrew]

We have two. We have two different Korean kinds of parents then.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah, there is.

[Andrew]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's two types. I mean, because if I dropped out of high school, you would not see me here right now.

[George]

You're gone, brother.

[Andrew]

I'm. I would. They literally would have killed me.

[Bobby Lee]

Oh, you think so?

[Andrew]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

Oh, wow.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Jaime]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

I would just be in a mine somewhere in, like, North Korea, like, shoveling. I don't know. Yeah. If I dropped out. Out, there's just no possible. I mean, because I was. I was using drugs. Sure. And they would throw me into rehab as soon as I was done with rehab. The next day, I was back in school.

[Bobby Lee]

Damn.

[Andrew]

You know, I mean, there was no, like, you have to graduate.

[Bobby Lee]

But they didn't care about college. They were just like, high school.

[Andrew]

At least they just knew college wasn't in the future.

[Bobby Lee]

Okay.

[Andrew]

Yeah. Yeah. But in terms of high school, they. That was their bottom line.

[Bobby Lee]

Damn. I didn't think a high school diploma means much to a Korean family. I think. I feel like college is always the focus a little bit. Bit, you know?

[Andrew]

Yeah. But you didn't even go to that.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah, I did. You know what I mean?

[Andrew]

That's insane.

[Bobby Lee]

It is insane.

[Andrew]

Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

[Katherine]

You ever just think about, like, getting your GED anyways, just to be like, you know, I.

[Jaime]

Because you don't need it.

[Bobby Lee]

You don't need it, really.

[Katherine]

I mean, you don't. But I'm just saying, like, well, you're

[Andrew]

not going to need college anymore.

[Katherine]

No, I know. You're right.

[Andrew]

I think. I think that's a dead institution.

[Katherine]

Chat.

[Bobby Lee]

GPT.

[Andrew]

Unless you're a genius or like, you need to be.

[George]

Have. Be a doctor. Go to college.

[Andrew]

Yeah. Or you're like, so smart, you go to MIT or whatever. I think maybe that will help. I. I don't know much. All right, George, when you look at me, you. You look at. As if, like, I don't know anything.

[MacKenzie]

What are you talking about?

[Andrew]

You're like, here he goes again.

[Katherine]

What are you thinking?

[George]

Here he goes.

[Andrew]

Here he goes again.

[Bobby Lee]

Wait, where did you graduate, George?

[Andrew]

You know what I mean?

[MacKenzie]

Which one?

[George]

Ivy League.

[Bobby Lee]

Ivy League.

[MacKenzie]

Michigan undergrad, Columbia University.

[Bobby Lee]

Wow.

[Andrew]

Isn't that interesting? You work for me.

[George]

It was a geometry in high school.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah. My pod producers, my podcast producer.

[Andrew]

Harvard graduate.

[Bobby Lee]

This 23 year old is a Harvard graduate.

[Katherine]

You are so right. Like a high school dropout and a college like, dropout. Like a r. The rich. Two richest people in the room.

[Jaime]

Yeah.

[Katherine]

I mean, that should tell you something.

[Bobby Lee]

He has a higher tax bracket than I do.

[Andrew]

But that's not true.

[George]

That's definitely true.

[Bobby Lee]

That's. That's. No, that's definitely true truism.

[Andrew]

And that's. That's what I'm talking about earlier. Oh, truth.

[Bobby Lee]

I did love that. My. My pod producers. 23 recent Harvard graduates. Dad. Yeah, I was like, damn. Like, you work for me.

[Andrew]

Yeah, because I just.

[Bobby Lee]

Power trip.

[Andrew]

Like I said, I think the institution is dead. Unless you mean you're a genius.

[George]

You know, but even geniuses like Mark Zuckerberg dropped out.

[MacKenzie]

Yeah, the richest people dropped.

[Jaime]

Yeah, but he stole Facebook, so.

[George]

Oh, you saw.

[Andrew]

Here we go now. Time for Jaime's conspiracy. Yeah. Yeah. Give your.

[MacKenzie]

When you go to Harvard, you get to steal a lot more expensive things.

[Bobby Lee]

He's saying the access.

[MacKenzie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

He has access to the. The smartest minds.

[Jaime]

What was the original Facebook? Those two twins?

[Andrew]

MySpace? No, no,

[Katherine]

the guy who did Napster was that guy. Yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

Friendster.

[Jaime]

Just going to school and steal stuff then.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah, I have a lot of, like, stuff in the book about scamming and stealing a 2x.

[George]

What's the story, what's the story that you.

[Bobby Lee]

I, this is when I was like 12 years old. I would go into apartment buildings and go to the laundry room and steal clothes out of the washer and dryer while they're washing.

[Katherine]

You know, this has happened to me. You're the guy.

[Bobby Lee]

We would call it, we would call it laundry shopping. Yeah. We would do this.

[Katherine]

Well, okay. Cuz I was, I've had my stolen out of the laundry. I'm like, dude, I'm the poorest person here. Like this was when I was like broke too.

[Bobby Lee]

That's why we felt like pieces of shit. Because we're not necessarily stealing from the rich. We were just going to like regular places in our neighborhood. This is another thing we would do. We would order pizza.

[George]

Yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

To an apartment building and the car would double park in front and they would go to the intercom and then we would sneak into his car and steal the remaining pieces on pizzas on his route. Wow.

[Andrew]

Is that in the book?

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah, that's in the book.

[Andrew]

Oh yeah, yeah. That's good stuff.

[Katherine]

You never had to steal food, Bobby.

[Andrew]

No, but what I would do, I've talked about this before, is I would gather a dollar, you know, I mean, by looking at quarters. Oh, quarters, yeah, yeah, yeah. I go in the street, try to find quarters. Yeah, yeah. I mean, and I gotta get a dollar. And once I get a dollar then I can get a BRC at El Pollo Loco.

[Katherine]

That's so good.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Katherine]

I used to remember when the self checkout wasn't quite like it had just first been established, like. Yeah, they weren't that great yet. Oh my gosh. I would walk in, my sister and I would walk into Albertsons with already like an Albertsons bag and we would just stock it up with like blocks of cheese.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

And just like charge a banana.

[Katherine]

Yeah, charge a banana out of there.

[Andrew]

It doesn't feel that guilty when you're stealing from corporate America too.

[Bobby Lee]

It doesn't. It does.

[Andrew]

Stealing from people's private. No, no, no, no. Stealing somebody's hard working, you know what I mean?

[Bobby Lee]

And I said I was a little bit washing.

[Andrew]

Right.

[Katherine]

And I remember what was stolen from me too. Like I had like really spent. Like I had saved so much for my Victoria's Secret panties. And those were the ones that were stolen. And like my padded bra, those were still.

[Bobby Lee]

I wasn't stealing that.

[Andrew]

[MacKenzie]

My name is MacKenzie and I started a GoFundMe for the adoptive mother of a nonverbal autistic child. The mother had lost her job because she wasn't able to find adequate care for this autistic child. So she really needed some help with living expenses, paying some back bills. So I launched a GoFundMe to help help support them during this crisis. And we raised about $10,000 within just a couple of months. I think that the surprising thing was by telling a clear story and just like really being very clear about what we needed, we had some really generous donations from people who were really moved by the situation that this family was struggling with.

[Katherine]

GoFundMe is the world's number one one fundraising platform, trusted by over 200 million people. Start your GoFundMe today at gofundme.com that's gofundme.com gofundme.com this podcast is supported by GoFundMe.

[Bobby Lee]

I was feeling like you sicko dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was feeling like melon wet panties. No. Yeah, yeah, I was. Back in the day it was like FUBU and like street wear clothes that was really popular during that time. And I cared about fat farm jeans and stuff like that.

[Katherine]

But why didn't you just steal it like I did? So one of the big things when I first Came to America was. I really wanted, like, a FUBU jacket because to me, that symbolized, like, the most American, like, high school. High school thing. And I stole from the mall. I got a FUBU jacket. And as soon as I went home, I looked at the tag and it said made in the Philippines. And I was like, oh, like that realization. I'm like, this isn't what I thought it was. What'd you think it was the most, like, American? I just wanted to be American. Right?

[Andrew]

Yeah, yeah.

[Katherine]

And I was like, oh, my auntie probably made this with her tired hands.

[Andrew]

Yeah, but good, Good quality.

[Katherine]

But it was fun. Those were such. That was such a fun time to like. It was with all the brands, like, exploring.

[Andrew]

We talk about the FUBU brand.

[Katherine]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

Can I talk about the FUBU brand real quick? Right.

[George]

To wear it.

[Bobby Lee]

What?

[George]

I used to wear it.

[Andrew]

I have never bought a fubu.

[Jaime]

Okay.

[Andrew]

It did not look good. I mean, to me, if I just. Let's be truthful, right? To me, it felt like it was low style.

[Bobby Lee]

Like low life. Like.

[Andrew]

No, no, not low life. I didn't say. Did I say low life?

[Bobby Lee]

No, no, no, no.

[Andrew]

Yeah, yeah. I didn't like that. I didn't like Von Dutch.

[Bobby Lee]

Okay. That's making a comeback.

[Andrew]

Yeah, well, I know it's making. Thanks.

[Jaime]

You know me. Soda. I said it too.

[Andrew]

That was very good.

[Bobby Lee]

I'm surprised you didn't like Von Dutch, because I feel like gold. Golden Goose is like, Von Dutch for your feet.

[Katherine]

I think so.

[Bobby Lee]

I think that's how I look at it.

[Katherine]

What about Ed Hardy?

[Andrew]

Never did Ed Hardy. No, I don't.

[Katherine]

Affliction.

[Andrew]

You know what I did? You know what?

[Katherine]

Florida.

[Andrew]

You know what I did do a lot. I don't know why.

[Katherine]

Diesel.

[Andrew]

No Fear.

[Katherine]

Oh, wait, I. I want to defend you with a no Fear stuff.

[Andrew]

Yeah, yeah.

[Katherine]

The no Fear stuff was actually like a lot older in the 90s and kind of. It had its cool moment.

[Andrew]

Okay, good.

[Katherine]

Yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

Did you do vision street wear?

[Andrew]

I did some vision.

[Bobby Lee]

Okay.

[Andrew]

I did some vision. Anything with skates culture, I would do.

[Bobby Lee]

I could see that.

[Andrew]

Yeah, yeah. But when it came to hip hop culture, I just never. Because it didn't look good on me. Like, if I wear an Arsenal jersey, I don't look good in them.

[Bobby Lee]

Well, you weren't also, like a hip hop head, right? So you're more rock?

[Andrew]

Yeah, I'm more of a rocker. So I had more like, dirty. What are you doing?

[Katherine]

I think that's just the garbage.

[Jaime]

Did you ever do Fat Farm?

[Katherine]

I loved what Is it.

[Andrew]

What's that?

[Bobby Lee]

Russell Simmons's clothing brand.

[Andrew]

Oh, no, no, no.

[Bobby Lee]

But you did, like, Billabong or something, right? Or like.

[Andrew]

Yeah, I don't like the way you said Billabong, dude. Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

Early Stussy. Stussy. Probably Early Stussy.

[Andrew]

Maybe I would do, like.

[Katherine]

Early Stussy was really cool.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah. I was skating surf culture, but I

[Andrew]

had, you know, I had a style that I was more vintage clothing.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Andrew]

So I would get a cowboy button up. I used to work cowboy hats.

[Bobby Lee]

I did, too. I was cowboy.

[Andrew]

Yeah, yeah. I wore cowboy boots.

[Bobby Lee]

I loved always, like, how, like, Johnny Knoxville dressed.

[Andrew]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

I was always like that. He was like a fashion icon to me when I was growing up.

[Andrew]

Yeah. I was more of a vintage clothing store guy. Okay. I get a cool, funny, cartoony shirt that was ripped up a little bit, but you know what I mean? And I did that vibe, you know? I mean, I never did the brands. As I get older, you know, I feel like.

[Jaime]

You still do.

[Andrew]

No, now I do Balenciaga. Balenciaga.

[Bobby Lee]

Oh, wow. You going Balenciaga and maid worn.

[Andrew]

So, you know, now that, you know,

[Bobby Lee]

when you get a hint of, like, designer, do you feel like, okay, these do kind of feel a little better. Do you. Do you get that hint?

[Andrew]

Well, I'll be honest with you, I. He did it again, by the way.

[Katherine]

Who?

[Andrew]

I'm going to tell you the story. He did it again. And I love this man. He's one of my favorite people in the whole world.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

But so when I was in Hawaii, first of all, why is there so many Moncler stores in Hawaii?

[Katherine]

They don't need to be there.

[Andrew]

I think it's winter clothing.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah. Yeah. That is crazy.

[Andrew]

Weird. There's a North Face. It's like.

[Katherine]

That's what it is.

[Andrew]

Where are we going skiing, guys?

[Bobby Lee]

Stone Island. For no reason. It's like.

[Katherine]

Yeah,

[Andrew]

Canada goose.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah, yeah.

[Andrew]

There's all that up there.

[Katherine]

It is. It's crazy. And so, like, Waikiki was made and they all repeat. Right. Like, every block is like another Moncler.

[Andrew]

Why?

[Katherine]

It was. It was literally made for rich Japanese tourists.

[Andrew]

Oh, I see.

[Katherine]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

And then you don't have Monclers in Japan.

[Katherine]

I'm sure they do.

[Andrew]

Yeah. But why would you go to Hawaii?

[Katherine]

Because it's like, you know, people like to blow money on vacation.

[Andrew]

Oh, I see.

[Katherine]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

Okay. So I went into a Moncler shop, and I haven't bought a Moncler jacket in many, many years. What's so funny?

[MacKenzie]

You just said, why are there Moncler stores in Hawaii? And that's where you buy them.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah.

[George]

You seem, like, very judgmental.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

You're the tourist that's buying up this stuff.

[George]

Japanese tourists.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

What the hell?

[Katherine]

I honestly think, like, Waikiki, like, Like, made for you.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Katherine]

You are the Japanese tourist. They're trying to attract the fit.

[Bobby Lee]

It actually fits.

[Katherine]

Like, why is there, like a long.

[Andrew]

Hold on.

[Jaime]

Oh, no.

[Bobby Lee]

Hold on.

[George]

Okay, so you're reevaluating.

[Andrew]

I'm gonna. I'm not gonna reevaluate. I know what I'm gonna say. Okay, so it's your fault.

[Katherine]

Mine specifically?

[Andrew]

Yes.

[Katherine]

Why?

[Andrew]

Because your brand, right, is at the

[Katherine]

Sephora across the Montclair.

[Andrew]

Across the Montclair.

[George]

What brand? Kalila.

[Katherine]

Ev Ocean Club.

[Andrew]

Ev Ocean Club. All right, so I. I. This girl that I'm seeing, I go, let's go to the mall. I wanted to check out Sephora to see your installment. It's beautiful.

[Katherine]

Thank you.

[Andrew]

Yeah. Yeah. So we went to see the installment before we went the second time when I met you, right. And I looked at it and some of it was, like, sold out. I was so excited. And I walked out of the store and go, there's another Moncler. And then she says, what is Moncler? I go, they just do winter jackets, right?

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

And then we walked in there and I bought one, but it was a thin spring one. Did you see that one I was wearing the other day?

[Katherine]

No, I didn't.

[Andrew]

Yeah. Yeah. It's really cute.

[Bobby Lee]

It's really quality, too.

[Andrew]

It's quality. And so I went to the Comedy Store wearing it, right? And David Spade had done this before. Yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

Oh, he did it again, right?

[Andrew]

So he came up to me, took his finger, goes, oh. And he put his finger around the logo like this.

[Bobby Lee]

Hello. Yeah.

[Andrew]

Yeah, Right. It was so strange. And I looked at him like, hi. You know what I mean? And that was the exchange.

[Katherine]

Wow.

[Andrew]

Yeah. But it's like, so, you know, sometimes I will do.

[Katherine]

Do.

[Andrew]

But I'll tell you what I won't do. Louis Vuitton.

[Jaime]

Yes.

[Bobby Lee]

Is that too. Obviously.

[Andrew]

Why'd that clap?

[Bobby Lee]

You don't like it?

[Jaime]

It's overrated.

[Andrew]

I mean, that's very good. Thank you.

[Bobby Lee]

What's the most expensive brand you would like? You wear. You have, like, a vice. Zara.

[Jaime]

Yeah. I'm not.

[Bobby Lee]

Got a taste for the finer things.

[Jaime]

I don't have money for it, so.

[Bobby Lee]

I know, but

[Andrew]

if you were going to, though.

[Jaime]

No.

[Andrew]

Like, if I gave you $10 million and I told you go buy a brand thing.

[Jaime]

A brand?

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Jaime]

I don't know, I don't look, I don't.

[Bobby Lee]

Do you have a thing that you're into? Like cars?

[Jaime]

No.

[Bobby Lee]

Stuff, no nothing.

[George]

He likes food.

[Jaime]

I like food. I like steak.

[Andrew]

So what food would you, would you

[Bobby Lee]

drop up, you drop a bag on food?

[Jaime]

Like a nice wagyu?

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

Oh, very good. Yeah, that's 80 bucks. What else?

[Katherine]

Branded food.

[Andrew]

Good branded food.

[Bobby Lee]

Caviar.

[Jaime]

$10 million dollar.

[Andrew]

I don't know, like if we were gonna go, hey, what? Okay, we're at the mall, right? And we're like. And we're at a high end mall and there's a Gucci, Louis Vuitton. There's a, a golden goose. There's a, you know, just a variety of high end fashion.

[Jaime]

I have to.

[Andrew]

And I'm like, which one would you go into and what would you buy?

[Jaime]

Neither shoes.

[Andrew]

I'll give you an option.

[Jaime]

I was gonna say Unucleo, but Nunuculo, what is it?

[Bobby Lee]

Uniqlo. Yeah, that's like nuclear.

[Jaime]

Nuclear?

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah, nuclear. No, nuclear. Uniqlo's cool.

[Andrew]

You walk out with a nuclear bomb, there's a war going on. That's so stupid. Yeah, he's got some sea mines. All the things you would need. You know what I mean? A rocket launcher. So is new.

[Bobby Lee]

What is Uniqlo? Oh, I know, unique, I know Uniqlo, right? Do you like Uniqlo? I feel like you dress.

[Andrew]

Is that considered high brand though?

[George]

No.

[Andrew]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I'm saying high brand.

[Jaime]

Okay, I guess Gucci.

[Andrew]

Okay. And what would you get? We went in there, what would you buy?

[Jaime]

Slippers.

[Andrew]

Okay.

[Katherine]

All right.

[Andrew]

That's pretty good. Yeah, I have a pair of Gucci slippers. Yeah, A very good buy. Buy very. Goodbye. Go buy them.

[Bobby Lee]

So go take them to Gucci.

[Andrew]

You want some Gucci?

[Jaime]

I'm not gonna wear them.

[Andrew]

You're never gonna wear them? No, no, that's the thing.

[Jaime]

People buy stuff like this and they don't wear them. You wear that shirt, what, twice a week maybe.

[Andrew]

Dude, I've seen this school, I've seen this school where a full blown Gucci suit.

[Bobby Lee]

I, I mean, you know, I like

[Andrew]

designers like a suit for a week. Not for a week.

[George]

You don't have to wear this thing every, every day.

[Andrew]

This is not a thing where you like, it's not Soviet like you.

[Bobby Lee]

Does it feel like a waste to buy a extravagant designer piece? Cuz you cannot wear that. No, that was from a Gucci gala. They Said they dressed me and I look like a weird villain in this. I don't know why. I look like I killed vampire.

[Andrew]

Did you beat James Bond in.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

Did you fight John Wick on that? In that outfit, I'm a villain.

[Bobby Lee]

That K Drama. I don't like this.

[Andrew]

Yeah, yeah. That's crazy. But it looks good on you.

[Katherine]

That's a great suit though.

[Andrew]

That's a great suit.

[Katherine]

I do like that color a lot.

[Andrew]

And that's Gucci.

[Bobby Lee]

Yep. They dressed me, but I didn't like that this suit necessarily.

[Andrew]

Did they give it to you?

[Bobby Lee]

No, they had just styled me for. I was. I was plus one for Anderson on this Gucci gala.

[Andrew]

Yeah. Without Anderson, how many events would you not be asked that question? How many events would you not be.

[Bobby Lee]

I invited to events. Maybe not at the caliber of his events. Not. Not this. This.

[Andrew]

I would like the Leo boat, you know.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah, yeah, that. No, I would not invited to that.

[Andrew]

Yeah, cuz I was invited.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

Maybe a Carnival cruise, but not that. Not that Ritz Carlton.

[Andrew]

And what's a Carnival cruise?

[Bobby Lee]

That's like a.

[George]

The cruise you took.

[Andrew]

Oh, the one I took.

[Bobby Lee]

Did you take a good cruise?

[Andrew]

Like a crazy. I did a stand up on a cruise.

[Bobby Lee]

All right. How was that?

[Andrew]

Not Carnival, not Carnival.

[Bobby Lee]

How was that? It was good.

[Andrew]

It was good to be around some friends. I think I hung out with Nick Schwartzen the most. Like every day. We'd have lunch and dinner.

[Jaime]

Nice.

[Andrew]

Yeah. So that was nice to bond with him, but. Yeah. Would I do another cruise again? Probably not.

[Bobby Lee]

I can't imagine a cruise being fun like that. Now this one, I feel like I look like a magician.

[Andrew]

Yeah. What brand is that? That.

[Bobby Lee]

That was nothing fancy.

[Andrew]

Okay.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah, that suit wasn't that fancy. I try to add a little bandana around my neck to give it a little twist.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Katherine]

Is that chest hair? Not your tattoo?

[Bobby Lee]

No. Yeah. It's not nice.

[Andrew]

But for me it's like when I get a suit, I go to Jimmy Ong's and Jimmy Ong's only, you know, Jimmy Ong. What is it?

[Katherine]

He's that for the shirt. The guy.

[Andrew]

The little people.

[Katherine]

Yeah, little people.

[Andrew]

Little people. Suit plays.

[Bobby Lee]

Oh, really? You have to do that? Okay.

[Andrew]

What do you mean I have to do that?

[Bobby Lee]

I was like, is that your fit?

[Andrew]

That's green. We all do it.

[Bobby Lee]

Okay.

[Katherine]

Oh, really?

[George]

[Andrew]

Yeah. And I don't know he. If he has Gucci there.

[Bobby Lee]

Oh, I see.

[Andrew]

You know, I mean, I think he makes his own clothes.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah. I'd like to see you in, like, a Protestant.

[George]

You like Bobby dressed as John McCain.

[Bobby Lee]

Oh, wow.

[Andrew]

That's not John McCain.

[Bobby Lee]

He looks like Roy Choi right there.

[Andrew]

Yeah, yeah.

[George]

Put the rest high.

[Andrew]

That's not. That's not John McCain.

[George]

I just never seen you wear a suit.

[Bobby Lee]

The Asian also. You used to go to Asian Excellence Awards and stuff really long. Oh, you did. Twice in the back. JCPenney used to throw an Asian Excellence.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Katherine]

That's the kind of brands you also go to. Paul Smith to get suits sometimes.

[Andrew]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

And you'll throw, like, a trucker cap on. I know your style.

[Andrew]

Yeah, yeah. It's like, not anymore, but. Yeah.

[Jaime]

Hey, would you ever. Would you ever go to Houston and get a grill?

[Bobby Lee]

Oh, Johnny dang.

[Andrew]

No. No, I wouldn't.

[Jaime]

No.

[Katherine]

For real.

[Andrew]

Yeah. I think that you mean if I ever acted again. That's a difficult thing to, like, act.

[George]

Commit to.

[Andrew]

Commit to.

[Jaime]

You mean act?

[Bobby Lee]

No, no.

[Andrew]

Oh, no, no. Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. Okay, stop for a second. What do you think that I mean by act?

[Jaime]

I didn't say nothing. By acting.

[Bobby Lee]

No. Okay, let me. Let me correct this. Let me translate here.

[Andrew]

Can you translate? Translate. Can you transl. So you.

[Bobby Lee]

You're saying committing like all in the book. It's another battle.

[Andrew]

A life battle.

[Bobby Lee]

It's another battle.

[Andrew]

It's another wisdom book.

[Bobby Lee]

You're assuming grills are permanent. They're not permanent. You take them on and off.

[Andrew]

Oh, then I would get a grill.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

Oh, I thought they were, like, laser in.

[Bobby Lee]

They're not.

[Andrew]

Okay.

[Katherine]

Like those and more girls get them. I like the. Like the tooth gems.

[Andrew]

A tooth gem.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah. I could see what.

[Andrew]

Yeah, you can see me with a tooth gem. Yeah, I've seen stuff and just glitter on my face.

[Bobby Lee]

I've seen stuff.

[Andrew]

So I look like Xenu.

[Bobby Lee]

They're cute, though.

[Andrew]

You know, Hang out with Tom Cruise. I'm Xenu.

[Bobby Lee]

There you go.

[Andrew]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

You can get, like a fang.

[Andrew]

Yeah, I don't do that. That's not my thing. That's Fubu for me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's Fuba.

[Katherine]

You should.

[Jaime]

You should get one when you in Houston.

[Bobby Lee]

Are you going to Houston? Yeah, I'm going to Houston tomorrow.

[Andrew]

Yeah, I. Last night I did a show for my Friend Dave. And it was a. So sobriety show.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

And there's this guy named Steve Polk. He's a musician and seen him for 35 years. Yeah, he's from San Diego, but he's a great magician. And he used to be in a band called the Rugburns. And I saw him look up Steve Polk. And this is pretty much when I'm his age, gonna be my style. But, like, I already know my future style based on my look.

[Katherine]

But you don't know your future body.

[Andrew]

You need future body for that.

[Katherine]

I think that, you know, like. Like certain.

[Andrew]

Like. Yeah, like this, like, look at my stage.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah, but you are in the future where you should start styling yourself like that.

[Andrew]

That kind of look. A hat, long hair.

[Katherine]

It's like very la.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah, but what future are you talking about? This is the time to do it.

[Andrew]

I'm doing it now.

[Bobby Lee]

Okay, good. Yeah, you should get like a fancy hat, you know?

[Andrew]

Yeah, yeah. No, no, no.

[Katherine]

By the way, it's like such a common LA look, but it's a good, stylish gentleman.

[Andrew]

Yeah, yeah. Before. No, but you have to. You have to put this into the equation. All right. Is your age. I think that when I'm set. What are you looking at, Alex? You haven't said anything to me today. You've just been staring. I'm looking all around. I'm side eying.

[George]

I've been quiet listening.

[Andrew]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. What the Is your problem? Today?

[MacKenzie]

I was looking at the pictures of Steve Pulse.

[Andrew]

Oh, okay.

[Bobby Lee]

We have a little monitor. Who's the best dressed comic? Who's the best dressed.

[Andrew]

Oh, I can tell you right now. I give you the top.

[Jaime]

John Molin, Tom3.

[Andrew]

Oh, but that suits. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think the best dress comic right now is Mark Maron.

[Katherine]

Oh.

[Andrew]

Oh, that's actually a good take, dude. Everything he's wearing, Right. Is high end, but looks kind of raggedy. But if you turn it around, it's something.

[Katherine]

He's. It's just relaxed.

[Bobby Lee]

He's like silver leg zaddy, right? Like silver.

[Andrew]

Yeah, yeah. So I think Mark Maron.

[Katherine]

There's also, like, you know, like, if you were to take a survey of women and he would be number. Really male comic.

[Bobby Lee]

That's interesting.

[Katherine]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

Marc Maron is the hottest male comic.

[Katherine]

Yes.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Katherine]

By a long shot.

[Andrew]

Fashion wise, I would say Cat Williams.

[Bobby Lee]

Cat Williams. Yeah. He does stand out. Yeah.

[Andrew]

With. I would. I couldn't wear it. But there's just something sometimes he's like, you know, I mean, got a native vibe going or.

[Bobby Lee]

Right, right.

[Andrew]

Sometimes, yeah. Mystical. I love mystical blacks. Those are my favorite ones.

[Bobby Lee]

Who's the worst? Who's the worst dressed?

[George]

I mean, that's a mystical black.

[Bobby Lee]

Oh, that's kind of.

[Andrew]

That's a mystical black dude.

[Bobby Lee]

That. That is fire.

[Andrew]

Yeah, yeah. He's not Illuminati. You know what I mean?

[Jaime]

You.

[Andrew]

I mean, just dresses like it.

[Bobby Lee]

I do. Like when Bobby's dress actually, like, tries, you know what I mean? He. He wore like a vintage shirt, denim jacket, and some like, non jogger pants.

[Katherine]

Non jogger.

[Bobby Lee]

Like, when he's wearing joggers, I'm like, he's not.

[Katherine]

You know, that's his blind spot. You're so right. That's his blind spot lately is the joggers.

[Bobby Lee]

I'm not a fan of the joggers.

[Andrew]

What's a jogger?

[Katherine]

It's tapered.

[Bobby Lee]

It's like tapered sweatpants.

[George]

You know, I don't mind this.

[Andrew]

Zoom in.

[George]

That's like, go.

[Katherine]

That's different though.

[Bobby Lee]

Those are not joggers, but they're jogger esque. But you know what I mean, When. Oh, no, they're not joggers, but you know when they're like the sweat elastics.

[Andrew]

You mean, what's the bottom of it?

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah, what he's wearing right now.

[Katherine]

Let me see.

[Bobby Lee]

No, no, These aren't even joggers.

[MacKenzie]

Okay.

[Andrew]

Does he wear.

[Katherine]

Those aren't joggers. Those are straight legs.

[Bobby Lee]

You know, on the bottom when there's like that. That collar almost like around your ankle,

[Katherine]

it's like, it looks cheap.

[Andrew]

Okay, I'm gonna say this right now. Okay. That I realize that. So I have been wearing. I haven't been wearing joggers in a while.

[Katherine]

You've been wearing straight.

[Andrew]

I've been going straight and almost poofy out.

[Bobby Lee]

Yes.

[Andrew]

I want.

[Bobby Lee]

I want you to go.

[Andrew]

I have been doing that.

[Bobby Lee]

Okay.

[Andrew]

Right. So one. One self reflects.

[Katherine]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

One grows and one evolves.

[Katherine]

I think your final blind spot is the golden goose.

[Jaime]

Wow.

[Bobby Lee]

Wow.

[Andrew]

It's a blind spot.

[George]

What do you think is a good shoe?

[Katherine]

That's his. Because I think Bobby has impeccable style. And when I look at his closet, I'm like, oh, my God. He takes risks. It's so cool. Like.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Katherine]

You're such a fashion icon. The golden goose is like, drive me mad because I feel as though, like, it's a very, like, Millennial girl brand. But maybe you're like, I'm fam. No, it's not your fam. Maybe you are subverting something here by, like, you know, like being a golden goose, Stan, because you do wear them. Well, I think maybe I'm just like swayed by the whole, like, you know, millennial woman love for it, you know,

[Bobby Lee]

style kind of like, like, like a Catherine Blandford kind of.

[Andrew]

She's a good style.

[Bobby Lee]

She has kind of.

[Andrew]

She's a great. I like that style. She's like the girl that I'm seeing has that style.

[Bobby Lee]

Oh, really?

[Andrew]

Yeah. Of Mitch Match clothing. You know what I mean? Camo pants. Yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

It's like a shirt that doesn't, but somehow it works.

[Andrew]

It works. It's, you know what I call it? Eastern European clothing.

[Katherine]

But also they're just hot chicks.

[Bobby Lee]

They are. They are hot.

[Katherine]

So it's like anything looks good. Like the girl you're seeing, you could put anything on her. She's tall, she's beautiful. Like, anything would look good.

[Bobby Lee]

That's a good point.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Katherine]

Catherine Blandford. Same thing. Like, they're English.

[Bobby Lee]

That help a lot?

[Katherine]

It helps a lot.

[Andrew]

Oh, does it help a lot?

[Katherine]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

Okay.

[Bobby Lee]

It's like Adam Sandler, you know, he's. He's Adam Sandler. So you could wear anything.

[Andrew]

Yeah, but no, like, judge his style.

[Bobby Lee]

Well, people, like, still love his style, you know.

[Andrew]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's an interesting style. It is, yeah. I'd like to talk about worst dressed comedians, but let's go best. Here's another one. And you may like them or not. I love them. But Dean Delray, you said worse. No, best.

[Bobby Lee]

I got to see the style.

[Katherine]

There's a lot of maid worn. Right. And like Japanese salvage.

[Andrew]

Yeah. So. So I learned from Kevin Christie and Dean Del Rey.

[Katherine]

Kevin Christie dress as well.

[Andrew]

Yeah, about, you know, I mean, about raw denim. I learned from Kem Christie.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah, you.

[Andrew]

I mean, so you. I mean, you learn. Let's go average.

[Jaime]

I like average Brad Williams. He's pretty good.

[Andrew]

That's. Doesn't have a lot of options.

[Bobby Lee]

Average. Average.

[Andrew]

I mean, he's got to go to Kids Gap. Think about what he has to do. He has to go to. In the Kids Gap. Yeah, right. But he can't wear the, like, you know, I mean, the minioni, you know, in pajama. So he has to go like, he has to go to certain sections of. You know what I mean? And then he has to have a lot of things tailored to him. Yeah, right. So that's a terrible. I love him, but for what he's given. And I could say that about myself. If anyone doesn't know, Brad Williams is a dwarf, a little person and. But I, I also look at my own body and go, what? What? You know, I mean, I would love to have. Look great in a black suit and look like Daniel Day Lewis, but it should be. I just don't have a thin, white, tall body for that type of.

[Bobby Lee]

It's. It's. It's less fabric. It should be cheaper.

[Andrew]

It's not cheaper.

[Bobby Lee]

It's not.

[Katherine]

Children's clothing are the most expensive things you'll ever buy.

[Bobby Lee]

I remember getting Jordan. Like, Jordans. If you got the kid size, it was, like, cheaper than the adult size.

[Katherine]

Really?

[Andrew]

Really.

[Katherine]

The brand. Oh, my God. If. When you. When you have a kid. When you have a kid, you guys are gonna freak out because there's so many great kids brands like Mini Rodini and, like, one shirt's like 200 bucks. But then I buy it. I buy it. It's so exciting because there's so many cooler options for kids.

[Andrew]

Yeah. I'm never gonna have kids. Let's start with that.

[Bobby Lee]

Can't wait till it happens.

[Andrew]

Yeah. I don't think you'll ever have kids.

[Bobby Lee]

Who knows?

[Andrew]

I do.

[Bobby Lee]

If I got a girl pregnant, I'd just be like. I'd be like, you know what? I might roll with.

[Andrew]

You know. You know what? You're right.

[Katherine]

Upsetting me.

[Andrew]

Why?

[Katherine]

Because I want you guys to not just roll with it.

[Bobby Lee]

No, no, no, no, no. That's not. I want you.

[Andrew]

What do we roll with it? What do you mean?

[Katherine]

Supportive partner through pregnancy, through postpartum. I know that you guys are good guys. I don't want you to just roll with it. That's all. That's my take.

[Andrew]

Roll with it means that you're just

[Katherine]

gonna be like, okay, cool, let's keep it.

[Andrew]

I'm not like. You know what I mean? Like, no, I'm in it.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah, we're in it. That's what I mean.

[Andrew]

That's what I mean by rolling in it. Rolling it. I'm rolling in the baby.

[Bobby Lee]

Not panic about it and not panic about it and be like, we gotta do something about this. Like, not that.

[Andrew]

I mean, like, okay, I've learned things from you. I'm gonna. I'm gonna. I'll call you a lot.

[Katherine]

Yes, Call me a lot.

[Andrew]

Yeah, I'll go be like, there's no titty milk coming out. And then you go give it to the wife. Give it to. And I'm like, oh, all right, all right. Because it's all bruised up. You know? I mean, there's things I would call. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

But b. Yeah, I Get it? I get it. It sounded like just a small thing.

[Andrew]

I also think. I also think that, like, sleeping with the baby in the bed is what I would do.

[Katherine]

I know, but you would have to be super safe about it.

[Andrew]

Yeah, but I don't. I sleep one style and you.

[Katherine]

I know, but you know that it's a hazard if one of the parents is a smoker.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Katherine]

Like, it's. It increases your chances for sudden infant death syndrome. So, like, if you're a smoker, you cannot have the baby in bed.

[Andrew]

Sorry, I've been. I haven't smoked that cigarette over a month.

[Bobby Lee]

Exude.

[Katherine]

I don't know what it is specifically, but that is one of the risk factors for sids. So you're gonna be. I just gotta be around for either of your babies. K?

[Andrew]

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. George, I. I don't want to start a fight with you. Yeah, okay. Why'd you look at elf.

[George]

Are you about to start a fight? Yeah.

[Andrew]

Yeah. And also check out this book.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah, yeah. All the battles in your life.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

Life and battles.

[Andrew]

Yeah. Yeah. I don't want to start a fight with you. Yeah, but you have first baby syndrome.

[Katherine]

Yeah, of course. Why wouldn't I have my first baby?

[Bobby Lee]

What's that mean? What's first baby?

[Andrew]

Because the second baby, she's not going to be the way she is now.

[Katherine]

Yeah. You're more relaxed because everything is not so new anymore. You, you're like, oh, I've done this. I'm not as like.

[Andrew]

But also, I think the rules that you're applying right now will loosen.

[Katherine]

I don't think so. I don't think so. I think that safety, like when you get. You grab your baby. You'll know what I mean when you meet your baby for the first time. And George, you can attest to this. You do breathing checks. That baby is so small, you're like, is it breathing? Is it breathing? Is it breathing? Like the first.

[MacKenzie]

Well, that's the worst part is because you're so sleep deprived, like for the first month, but you like wake up and like, yeah, I need to check if it's breathing. And then you're like, doesn't it? What am I gonna do if it does? Yeah, what am I gonna do? Then I go back to sleep and

[Andrew]

then feel completely become apathetic.

[Katherine]

So they become apnea. Sometimes they hold their breath. They have like erratic breath breathing. Newborn breathing is such a mind. So it scares you. So, like, I see what you're saying. It's like a two, three year old. Like, you do Loosen up.

[Bobby Lee]

They're just so fragile.

[Katherine]

First get them. And they're like this newly, like, perfectly baked thing.

[Bobby Lee]

My sister kept trying to like get me to hold the baby and I was so scared to hold it because it's so fragile. And I'm like, no, I don't need to do that. I don't want to drop it.

[Katherine]

Yeah. Even I was a mom and I was scared to drop my own baby. So it's like.

[Andrew]

It's like holding a 16th century Chinese vase.

[Katherine]

Yes.

[Andrew]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

Like, yeah.

[Andrew]

And I dropped those all the time. Three in my life.

[Bobby Lee]

A Faberge.

[Andrew]

Yeah, yeah. Like, oh, yeah. Faberge egg. Yeah. When you hold a Faberge egg, you know, because how many are there in the world?

[Katherine]

I mean, I think there are enough.

[Andrew]

They're not enough.

[Katherine]

I don't think they're like.

[Andrew]

I think they're under 100.

[Katherine]

They're under really under 100. Faberge.

[Andrew]

You know how much a fabric egg costs?

[Katherine]

I do.

[Andrew]

How much, how much do you think a fabric.

[George]

61 to 69.

[Jaime]

9.

[Katherine]

Oh, whoa. You're right.

[Andrew]

Not only that, that's crazy. Guess how much one would be.

[Katherine]

I think in the high millions.

[Andrew]

Like, just give me a number.

[Katherine]

Like 150 million to a half a million.

[Andrew]

How much is that?

[Bobby Lee]

That sounds too much.

[George]

In 2014, a man found a 30 million dollar Imperial. A flea market.

[Andrew]

Okay, so you're at a flea market. At a flea market. You overshot. Yeah, that's still pretty expensive. Yeah, that's $30 million.

[Katherine]

Crazy.

[Andrew]

That's the cheapest one, I think.

[George]

Probably.

[Andrew]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

What's the most expensive thing?

[Andrew]

Well, you.

[Jaime]

What?

[Bobby Lee]

What's the most expensive thing you own?

[Andrew]

What, this house?

[Bobby Lee]

Okay.

[Katherine]

House not included. Of course it's going to be your house.

[Bobby Lee]

You have collectibles. You have an expensive collectible.

[Katherine]

He hasn't upraised them in a while. I don't think he knows. I bet you anything you have hidden treasures here.

[Andrew]

Oh, I have many hidden treasures. Yeah, yeah, yeah. For people to find when I'm dead. And you'll be surprised. I have one for you.

[Bobby Lee]

You got a Mugwe?

[Andrew]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[George]

So expensive.

[Andrew]

Okay, which one? That's 30 million words.

[George]

The winter egg.

[Andrew]

10 million. They're less than I thought they were going to be. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, but they're very delicate.

[George]

It's expensive though.

[Andrew]

Yeah, yeah. Would you buy one?

[Jaime]

No.

[Andrew]

Okay, okay, okay. Yeah. So I would hold a baby. Like a Faberge egg.

[Katherine]

Yes.

[Andrew]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

Would you adopt or no?

[Katherine]

Yes.

[Jaime]

No, no.

[Bobby Lee]

Cuz you could skip the baby phase. And go right to like a Russian

[Andrew]

five year old world. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? Or it has its own knife.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

There's no way.

[Bobby Lee]

Low maintenance.

[Andrew]

Yeah. Or what?

[Jaime]

Or you can have a baby and then just, you know, you know, ditch the family for like five, six years and then come back that way.

[Andrew]

That's a good plan.

[Jaime]

That way you can skip the five, six years.

[Andrew]

The best years of your. Their lives. That's. Wow, that's a great date. The best years of their lives.

[Jaime]

Cuz it's still your own blood, but it's not adopted.

[Andrew]

When they become nightmares is when you come back again. Yeah. Okay. The very good thinking. 10 we. You should write a book. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Jaime]

And I. The first page would be to all the women who got me battle ready.

[Bobby Lee]

That's. That's the. That's my dedication.

[George]

Memorize that though.

[Bobby Lee]

That's right. Yeah. Do you memorize that? You're waiting for that?

[Andrew]

Memorize that.

[Jaime]

Yeah. He right.

[Bobby Lee]

It's my family photo right there, you know.

[Andrew]

That's amazing.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

Which one? Which one is you? I can't tell.

[Bobby Lee]

I'm right here.

[Andrew]

Okay.

[Katherine]

What did your mom think of the book?

[Bobby Lee]

I mean, she didn't read it because she. She doesn't really speak English like that, you know, but she, she. Oh, like that. I wrote one.

[Katherine]

But you did like interview her for a lot of like the content of the book.

[Bobby Lee]

I did. She hasn't gone through it, but I interviewed her because she has that crazy journey through the Mexican border, like illegally carrying two babies, so. With coyotes and stuff. So she gave me the details. Details of that.

[Andrew]

Can I show you the poster of my. Of what my Hulu spouse is going to look like?

[Bobby Lee]

I want to see it.

[Andrew]

Just a poster and see if you think you like it or not.

[George]

Okay.

[Andrew]

Ready and go.

[Bobby Lee]

I like it. I like it.

[George]

We'll blur it out. Can I see?

[Bobby Lee]

Is it too late for notes though?

[Katherine]

No, no, it's not.

[Andrew]

It kind of is.

[Bobby Lee]

Okay. Okay then I'm not gonna go into it.

[Jaime]

I like it.

[George]

Here's the thing. People will click on that.

[Bobby Lee]

It's very cool.

[Katherine]

Very cute.

[Bobby Lee]

It's very kawaii.

[Katherine]

Here's what I think. Like, I just think that there are so many iconic photographs of you.

[Andrew]

I'm gonna make a call between these two pods and I'm gonna make a call and. What do you think of this, Alex? I wear the same thing I wore for the special. And we go to a white backdrop and we create our own assets.

[Katherine]

1000% agree.

[Bobby Lee]

If you Have a chance to switch it. I think if you have time, you should try to do something about it. Cause that's what I did with my book. I had an option and I switched it earlier. Hold on, hold on. You know what?

[Andrew]

Wait, so this is what you chose? Yeah, yeah. It's a good cover. I understand this. So this is some. You're. You're showing people like, ah, man, I've

[Bobby Lee]

been through so many battles.

[Andrew]

Yeah, right.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

And your inside scars are on your face. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, but that's not the look.

[Bobby Lee]

That's not the look I have.

[Andrew]

Why this look?

[Bobby Lee]

My favorite phone photos.

[Andrew]

You take two photos. I'll take the second one.

[Bobby Lee]

My favorite photos of you are from Jen Rosen. Rosen.

[Katherine]

Rosenstein.

[Bobby Lee]

Rosenstein.

[Andrew]

She's the best.

[Katherine]

I think she's so good.

[Bobby Lee]

Those are my best. Those are my favorite photos of you.

[Andrew]

Yeah, she's the best.

[Bobby Lee]

That's what I'm saying.

[Katherine]

Okay, so that was my big note. Was that, like. I think that there are many other more iconic photos you can use for your center photo, because it's cute, but it's not like iconically you. There's so many expressions that you do that are more Bobby Lee than that.

[Bobby Lee]

The photo should be quality of what you use for your profile photos on Raya. Like, that should be the. The level.

[Katherine]

Yes.

[Andrew]

I got rid of the app, but you, you know.

[Bobby Lee]

You know, like the ones you.

[George]

Spit Life in Battles.

[Andrew]

Yeah. Split. Anything else you want to plug?

[Bobby Lee]

No. Guys, Spit A Life in Battles is in bookstores everywhere. You can also cop it on Amazon or Barnes and Nobles dot com. You know, it's not just like rap heady stuff. There's a lot of great things in here about family, Asian American history, which Bobby's involved in, you know, in like Los Angeles history, hip hop history.

[George]

Why is it called spit for the audience?

[Sponsor Voice]

Spit.

[Bobby Lee]

I just feel like it's like a. A disrespectful act, but earned me respect by spitting. Spitting lyrics. Spitting. You know what I mean? Yeah. Say something, Bobby. Say something.

[Andrew]

Bobby's dumb.

[George]

Don't be phased.

[Bobby Lee]

I'm phased. I'm phased. I am literally phased. Bobby, are you gonna read my book? Yeah.

[Andrew]

Audiobook it if Jaime is the narrator.

[Bobby Lee]

No, no, I narrated it.

[Andrew]

Oh, you did?

[Bobby Lee]

I gotta.

[Andrew]

I like your voice. I want to say. Let me ask you a real question.

[Bobby Lee]

Sure.

[Andrew]

Percentage wise, are you more of a. Give me that percentage here. Are you more of an actor, comedian, or hip hop artist?

[Bobby Lee]

I would say hip hop artist is my main.

[Andrew]

So what's the Part of the pie. Out of 100, what is the percentage?

[Bobby Lee]

I would say 60%.

[Andrew]

Okay. Actor.

[Bobby Lee]

Right. I would. I would say like 25.

[Andrew]

So what do we got, 15. 15 left.

[Bobby Lee]

[Andrew]

So you're 15. Comedian and.

[Bobby Lee]

Well, writer and comedian.

[Bobby Lee]

A small percentage.

[Andrew]

What's percentage is 1.

[Bobby Lee]

This is not helping. Leading up to my book.

[Andrew]

What percentage is writer?

[Bobby Lee]

Maybe. I mean, writing is everything I do as a hip hop artist. I also write.

[Andrew]

I know, but just it just writing

[Bobby Lee]

as its own final percentage of the pie.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

The remainder.

[Andrew]

But then as a comic. What are you.

[Bobby Lee]

Isn't Comic Con all encapsulating everything? Like as a writer and performer and everything. You know, that's true. You know what I mean?

[Andrew]

And that's what. That's the answer I wanted.

[Bobby Lee]

Yeah.

[George]
