podcast

that's closing with a slam and he just saw a cool, funny guy, but today, before we get into that, he's joining us more late. I felt like it was time to try a new format on the podcast here because we've had a ton of interviews in a row and while I and I love interviewing and spending time with guests, I feel like the heart and soul of the podcast should be me complaining and listening happily and I thought there hadn't been enough complaining from me, Andy listening, losing control and so on.

I'm losing control and so what we were thinking is that the first 30 to 45 minutes should be me, Neela, talking about what's happening, talking about what's bothering me, what's not happening and what's okay or going. at the same time. you know there's a lot of twists and turns there's no coffee there's no water on the table now I'm a straight diva okay, I'm a paté I'm a diva but I'm also a patient man who forgives, okay and I can Only I can only tolerate so many What did I do to reserve me to deserve this lack of respect?

There is no glass of water on the table we have. I would like a glass of water. Although we need 30 minutes because there is no respect. We have like a full staff. We people back here had a glass of water, what are you looking at? Crusher anyway, what was he saying? I don't hear water pouring, it's on the way, so we thought it would be, we should, we should have our own thing, you know, it's a we. I should take the time to talk and see what's going on because there's all kinds of things I want to talk about so let's do this right thanks Dan oh that's not Dan that's on you guys the beards merge into one identity , so first. everything so yeah Bobbie Lee will be here in about 30 minutes hoping it's okay so we had a live show last month at the improv with Post Malone and it was so much fun it was so much fun it was exhilarating.

How amazing, yeah, there were 200 seats there and the thing about jamming is that there's no real green room or backstage, so you have to walk through the crowd to get there and when we walked through, everyone was so supportive and were excited. -energy, it was amazing, you come out, it's like embarrassing in a way, you know what I mean? Yeah, because it's like everyone says how you want and it's like me, so our first show was a blast, our next live show is this. month on the 26th at the Ace Theater in downtown Los Angeles, tickets are on sale, you may spam.

Can you send it? We'll put it in the YouTube description as well, but this is a 1,700-seat ACE theater. I'm terrified. I'm terrified of 1,700 seats and thought I could barely talk any more than normal. I can barely speak well any more than normal. I think you're being hard on yourself, no, but I found it interesting. Austin was like he was telling us that. he was super nervous and he's played much bigger shows than that, but I guess it's different because he just does a lot of things and he does something that he's really comfortable and used to doing, but being in front of an audience is like speaking and it's generally I guess they're completely different skills, yeah, so he said he was super nervous up there, which I thought was cute, we were all so nervous that I was purified before we had to talk about this, no, I don't think we saw, that's the problem.

With this show, what's the point of the podcast if I can't even talk about that whole experience? So it was just me backstage while we were waiting and then Austin showed up like two minutes before we got there, it was late and I'm waiting in the stairwell and of course he's always on time, he's the coolest guy, He walks up the stairs and we barely have enough time to take a photo, but I think I don't know how to describe that feeling. Yeah, it's excitement and nervousness and all kinds of crazy, no words exactly, yeah, I don't know, so I'm wondering, but the thing about The Improv is that it's so intimate that you can see everyone's face like in the first row. we're pretty much like sitting down, but I think at ACE you won't necessarily see everyone there, so in a weird way I hope it's less stressful because you don't feel like you're sitting down. "You're entertaining like people are watching you expecting to be entertained in a way that you know, yeah, you're like when exactly the joke is coming.

You're just staring almost until it's like a black void because the lights are so bright you can." I don't really see anything, so it's really exciting. I'm really excited and what's the plan: we want to do it every month and I think what we want to do is make the 8th of every month like a residency, so we'll do that. at our last show of each month at the ACE and we'll put our tickets on sale for the whole year, probably next month, after we see how this goes, if I don't collapse, if I don't completely fail, what's the worse? -case scenario like what would be the worst bomb what if I just went out and broke my leg that's what they say brick you're like what I just tripped and broke my leg that won't be that bad code it's not your fault it's almost like thank you, good night, no refund, that actually happened.

I saw a conference they had at Blizzcon. This is funny. Can you try to find it or does someone there at Blizzcon have a costume contest and everyone comes out in their costumes and someone literally? he went out and broke his leg, they had to carry him off stage and I know it sounds tragic but it was really funny, can you find him in the meantime? I wanted to talk about our last video, Ethan's Closet, because Coroner Ethan says yeah, that's how much I care. About it, it had everyone so polarized that it was a shitty video.

I mean, I knew it was just bullshit, right, it's funny, we actually had people unsubscribe from that video, it doesn't really bother me, I just find it funny. which is years of posting content and then all of a sudden they say no, maybe they had it, maybe that was it, you know, Ethan, I've had enough of your videos because it was this, goodbye forever, you couldn't find it. forever here's the video by the way this is important this is more important than whatever I'm talking about oh yeah this is definitely good to understand you guys no this is this this is what's going to happen to me .

Can't. wait, he liked it right away. Oh, get it, Daniel, you shouldn't be laughing, but yeah, he practically sprained his ankle or he's really up, he won't even try to get up. It's like you know what I've done, someone charges my Attention and that's what happens, it's a huge scary type of security, bro, you've got a good leg, just get up and jump. God Christ, she's super nervous too, she's the best, but yeah, she's fine, but I mean, you have adrenaline, just the cop is limping. offstage, crawl, if you gotta get up, just get out, you're in the trenches, man, those shells are falling, look at this, all these guys are coming in on aircraft carriers, look at this, they grabbed him by the, this is too good, right?

TRUE? Have you ever seen this batsman in your life, he is clutching his broken ankle, there is a moment here like a face you will never forget, that moment, here it is. Oh, makeup doesn't help, so that's the worst case scenario, and much more I can relate to it. The night I fell, oh yeah, on our stairs, yeah, we moved to a new house. Hertz, has quite steep stairs. It was when I was standing there and he was coming down the stairs. Language destroyer, it's dangerous and Healy just ate as if he'd skipped the last one. ladder here and it looked weird because it looked almost like she meant to do it, but nothing hit hard, she fell, she took care of it right there, remember anyway, so I can't really relate, okay, you can, anyway Anyways, the last video was a real boat post. and a lot of people were upset, some people liked it, some didn't, which is fine.

I tried to tell them I was going to post shitty videos, didn't I say that? And everyone remembers when we were like, oh, I've been depressed, oh. I've been depressed, it took a little while since then, yeah I should have kept going with this, but you know, I just felt like posting a video. I didn't care what it was, you don't know, but this anyway. I love this family man, the new HTC Reach video is the return of the classic H3, it's forced and full of half-baked jokes and doesn't amount to anything at all. He is alerting people about the Facebook privacy scam. he was keeping a good balance between information and posts all he did was say Facebook and AIDS 50 times it can be both I feel like it can be both I feel like the truth is somewhere in between I don't know what this is about is it from an effort or These are the ones called West Coast Choppers, they are the guys from the West Coast.

I love that he's just throwing it out like he's really capturing, yeah, the feel of those coins is exactly exactly anyway, guys, we just posted a new video that I'm happy with this, I like it, we're trying to get back into the swing of things, You know, it's two videos, the longer you don't post, it gets harder to do it properly again, so we're just trying. to break that, that's what it was and there's like a wall stamp, yeah, and that's what that video was in Ethan's corner because you're okay, you make a video, it's not as good as you want, maybe not you think it's any good at all, but at a certain point you just have to post it and move on only because then you don't post it and then you get even more depressed and then you try to place another video game order.

I'm at the point where I just want to post it and move on because I feel like I need to be creative. I need to move forward all the time because lately I've been really depressed and stuck in the same thoughts in the same head in the same space and I just feel like I need to get through that, yeah, get through all of that and I like not working, posting videos, they go together, Not doing it, that becomes more depressing, if you would lose your purpose, what are we doing here, well, what? and we've been putting too much good stuff we've been putting too much emphasis on the podcast it's just that it's become the only thing yes and and and maybe I almost felt overmatched in compensating for the fact that we're doing that no I don't know, but we need to find a balance because I was thinking about over a year ago when we were posting two or three videos a week and for me that was really cool, it was a good time for Yo because I was always creating something new.

I was being creative and just expressing myself more authentically than I always tried to. I don't know whatever I've been, man, I've been, I've got, I'm going to be real. I have a bottle of antidepressants next to my bed, and I take it out and stare at it and I think last night I felt like I was having a nervous breakdown, like there was this Amazon, like these guys set up tea and there are as many buffoons as these guys. They are such idiots that they install it so close to the wall that you can't plug anything in now and now it's installed on a stand so I have this device from Amazon so I want to watch YouTube or whatever and I'm trying to plug it in. and I can feel the plug every time I have to pull the TV out of the wall and jam my hand back there and my hand was almost bleeding and I could feel the plug and it was about to fail but it didn't.

I didn't get in properly and I was at it for like an hour. I was kind of obsessed with OCD. I was losing my mind. I felt like I was aware of how crazy I was acting, but I couldn't stop. I was so close to getting into the hole. and all the time I know I'm a lunatic, but I can't stop trying and I thought, man, this is me so twisted. The evil is coming in because I'm screaming like a lunatic and she says. What's the matter? I say: I don't know, she says that's not normal.

I know buddy, but I have to stick the damn stick in the hole. You know, it's like this little thing I became obsessed with was just manic. I eventually left him and, but I've been like her. I just felt like I was going crazy lately. I have this bottle of antidepressants next to my bed. I think it's time, but then I realized I've never actually done it. trying hard and taking antidepressants is like it's the easy way out or you've already tried everything and then you should take it because there's no reason to suffer, but I think this is the easy way out because there's a direct correlation between me. being fat and lazy and not taking care of myself and being depressed and like I'm on an upward trajectory right now and I'm like I can't take this if I'm not exercising if I'm not eating right I'm not treating myself right it's all connected yeah , there's a direct correlation between all of that, so I don't know, I've been, that was a couple of days ago, I've been working out, I've been trying. to eat better because I'm not, you know you have to work on yourself to fix yourself before you take it right, that would just be a shortcut, some people need antidepressants, but I don't know if I need them because I haven't actually done them.

I tried to help myselfHe was the chosen one who is bringing balance to the force, I know, but by the way, that's why I really love humanity, right? Ricky Gervais is really good, it's about the same thing with Dave Chappelle to see what he looks like, it's about that job, yeah, yeah, that's really hard, yeah, I think that's what you are, you're not an American if you're not you can speak and have an opinion, yeah, that's what life means, I mean, that's a freedom, that's what American writers and you can It's not like what I'm saying, but it's like you know no, but I'm not even offended.

You know, if you know some, like this guy named Andrew Santino, right, he's a comedian, he's very popular and I make fun of him. Because he has red hair and I think they're weird redhead people so also when I put him on stage in front of a full house I go with my redhead friend it's weird you know they're like mutants or Anything I can say and he He comes on stage and says this, does that and crushes me. I'm not offended because it's not coming from hate, yeah, you know we're just having fun here guys, but yeah, and even if it's also coming from hate, as long as, yeah, okay, that's why you feel your freedom to say Which is what I was getting, yeah, but like a fourth baby, you hurt someone physically or something that takes away your livelihood, that's not okay, that's not different, yeah, you know it is. funny in a way because people choose to go after good people, we just said something: bad people are doing things their own way, people who really do shitty things from a bad place are the ones who get a second chance.

Chris Brown beat Rihanna and he's still shaking his dick on MTV, yeah, and selling albums, but, like Mel Gibson, I mean, I don't know what's in that guy's head, but he went on a real anti-Semitic rant, yeah, but hurry, it will never shake. that he won't shake it, I guess she just accepted it at that time, yeah, I won't say he got turned on by the one he didn't get turned on by, I think it used to be a top notch movie. star oh I'm a big fan of yours I think Braveheart is amazing I love it I've seen that Booga house I love it I love it yeah my favorite came out amazing he was actually my favorite actor I mean he's great , but you.

You're not offended, he said that, so it's surprising what he said, yes, but it's not going to ruin my day, yes, because he's not talking to me, yes, I'm talking about you, I don't accept, no. I don't take jokes about Jews personally. I take the comments about me, sometimes I take the homeless personally, but not the stuff like oh he's Jewish, yeah, it's more like you know that, yeah, good job dude, good job on that , yes, because you know you know my favorite Jews. Another thing, I'm into your favorite juice. Wow, top ten doctor, what you know a thousand, oh, that's what I mean, there's everywhere, in every area, you throw a rock in Los Angeles, your head at five Jews, him, did you throw a penny in Los Angeles, five?

What I want my representatives to be Jews because there are Jews and I love it. He bar mitzvah chi-chi bar/bat Mitzvah no, she is not active, you should have an active Jewess, but she is Jewish hmm, but she likes to lead by example like her. I made this. When a long time ago I made this commercial and I don't know if it's like that. I'm getting in trouble for saying this, but they offered me $75,000, it was like a buyout, hmmm, and she got me $350,000 for our period. I, you and she could just do it and I have and that has to do with her being 100% Jewish.

She comes from the Torah. There is a secret. So, you know, most people think that we're just looking at the Torah and reading. Yes, but if you shine a black light on my death, now yes, because they will find me with a strange nerve agent, maybe you have to let yourself go, are you okay, mom, outside the mill, listen, it's been two hours, no, yes , We have been. for two hours it's been a game it's a riot it's been a joy and a pleasure it's been chemistry I thought we were like war buddies yeah, we've been through absolutely and we'll see each other at those like PTSD reunions, you know, it was really nice meeting you.

I want to ask you a question. Go ahead, because we ask this of all our guests, and first of all, it may fix a few things sooner. Oh yes, of course, I would do it right now. to give me the opportunity to do it, of course, let's do it. I have a podcast with my girlfriend called Tiger Belly. We'd love to have you in on it too. Yeah, we're there and number two, I have a sitcom. Tuesday nights is after Roseanne, it's called breaking up, it's a good place and it's doing pretty well, so look at that guys, nice, where can you be better?

Guys please support Bobbie Lee and the whole podcast is great. Bobby Lee live on all my social networks. I got it, so what are you going to ask me something, buddy? So if you don't have an answer, that's okay. I have one, I don't have one, but it's customary for us to ask our guests if they have any ghost stories or anything paranormal about Albert, oh yeah. ghosts or UFOs meet unexplained, whatever you have, well my brother and I have talked about this because my brother has his own YouTube channel or all that, well, this TV show we will show and my brother and I We grew up in a town called Poway, California, what's going on? water sir, it's okay, I'm thirsty and we know that half of our house was in some kind of Indian burial place that's yours because my brother and I heard demons, we see demons collectively, we both heard the same thing and what my father said after. in life it was um, he had said, he said, tell us, one day he leaves.

I don't believe in ghosts, but every time I park my car after work I run down the hallway because I feel weird, he felt, but that's where my brother and I. This bedroom the bedrooms were in the bathroom, but my dad would run past our bedroom and I used to see your own dad running, yes, because of the fact that I felt an evil presence there, in fact, one day I thought I was possessed and that I could get out of there. I jumped in the pool, yes we had a pool, we did pretty well, unless it was a murderer, but yes, but enough to get an unwanted house, yes, then when we moved and it stopped, but my Brother and I were possessed several times, we thought.

Did you know that you are good? We felt like hell like we could hear things and there were times we wish we were asleep and awake and we couldn't move, we felt this presence and it never happened after we jumped out a window. to the pool, no, no, it was that we had a flat, okay, but one time I ran out of my room and I jumped into this room, I didn't do it when I came out, yes, I left it, yes, but yes, we were there . some kind of evil presence, have you felt anything like that since then?

Well, at The Comedy Store you know that place is haunted. I haven't heard other than Gus a couple of times, it's a ghost island, yes there was a ghost named because he was in the 50's, he was a mafia henchman who was apparently murdered at the Comedy Store, it was a club called Ciro's at that time and I've seen Gus a couple of times twice as many as I don't know. Oh Gus levitated Sam Kinison because of his angle and on top of that because you know Sam Kinison and Carla Ball when they moved from Houston to the Comedy Store they used to sleep in the master bedroom and one night this is what I heard from Carla Ball because obviously Sam Kinison died that evening. woke up and Sam Kinison was levitated by his ankle upside down, yeah, uh, I noticed, I mean, then if I ever do this podcast again, I can tell you a million stories that happened there, really yeah, like that that when we do our D when you I saw the goats just out of curiosity, how did my friend Ronny Sánchez and I do a concert in Bakersfield?

It was the '90s and I parked my truck in the comedy store parking lot at 4:00 in the morning, where Johnny dropped me off. Back up, back up to my car, we look up and there's a window on the top floor, we look up and we see a faceless man carrying a table head with his hands against the window, look, yeah, and then we look at each other , we shout, we look up. He was gone, yeah, that's why he's scary, yeah. Oh my god, thank you for sharing. Hmm, let's let that sit for a minute, not that it's over.
