Video summary

Bobby Lee opens his podcast appearance with a candid reflection on his unconventional background, noting he received all F's in high school and has attended rehab multiple times due to addiction issues rather than possessing any traditional skill set. He attributes his success entirely to the simple act of showing up and putting one foot in front of the other despite fear and insecurity. Lee discusses his current life in Las Vegas with co-host Andrew Santino, contrasting it with Los Angeles, which he feels is declining. The conversation touches on local culture, including observations about homeless encampments near Santa Monica and Venice Beach, where Lee humorously critiques street performers while acknowledging their talent within their specific context. He also addresses the prevalence of data broker scams targeting older generations, promoting a sponsor service that helps remove personal information from these databases to protect families. The dialogue shifts significantly toward relationships, with Lee admitting he has not had romantic success in his twenties due to fear of rejection but is now more open after experiencing a ten-year relationship and currently dating someone for three years. He expresses interest in partners who are the opposite of himself—morally upright individuals like those who go to church or do yoga—while jokingly stating he would never date a dwarf despite acknowledging that personality matters most, though he admits his own limitations regarding height differences. Lee reflects on how stand-up comedy gave him the confidence needed to overcome social anxiety and rejection in dating life, creating an upward spiral of success where small wins built self-assurance necessary for acting roles and public appearances. Lee delves into the changing landscape of comedy and free speech, arguing that modern comedians are overly sensitive compared to past eras when artists like Eddie Murphy could say anything without consequence. He believes his podcast resonates because it authentically replicates how friends joke around in private settings, unfiltered by television gatekeepers who previously rejected him for not being a "star." While he acknowledges the financial benefits of platforms like YouTube and podcasts compared to traditional TV gigs which are now harder to secure due to industry shifts toward short-form content on TikTok, Lee insists that his motivation remains driven by love for comedy rather than just money. He praises younger comedians like Matt Rife who have succeeded through hard work in major markets like New York and Los Angeles before achieving fame. Throughout the interview, Lee maintains a self-deprecating tone regarding his intelligence, joking about having quarter Down syndrome due to never reading books or getting poor grades, yet he demonstrates sharp business acumen by discussing product ideas for conjoined twins and negotiating casino residencies with comedians like Andrew Santino. He addresses concerns about cancel culture and social restrictions, suggesting that while people are more uptight now, the core of comedy remains in telling authentic stories even if some jokes might be flagged or deemed distasteful to certain audiences. Lee concludes by emphasizing resilience over perfectionism, noting that he would rather fail publicly than not try at all, a philosophy that has allowed him to navigate from poverty and addiction to becoming a successful creator with millions of subscribers.

nine feet you're 14. awesome what's your size foot size my foot size is about a ten and a half nice yours eight I beat you yeah yeah well he's Japanese what is he I don't know you don't know the ethnicity of a man that you're working with I think he's trying that's insane that's insane no no we don't work with him it doesn't matter the first thing you ask is where are you I just I never I don't know what color it doesn't matter yeah what are you no not him no no because he's white but it could be like you know we don't care there could be a lot of things so this is what you ask him when it comes back in the room and they love it we love it all right just listen what kind of ching chong are you they love it they love it it works it's so good in fact if you go to Japan there's a manual right and that's the first thing that's on the manual what kind of ching chong are you huh yeah yeah do you think that you look Korean are you [ __ ] son of a I'm curious I'm curious I'm just

have a good relationship with you okay to be honest when I see you sorry I got angry sorry I think more so Japanese wow that's so oh my God that hurts I it's amazing is that painful well I mean the Japanese oppressed Korea for very many many years but you know what I'll go with it in fact I'm 10 Japanese I did that 23andMe and it's necessarily wrong you're not necessarily wrong right where's the ching chong at is it correct yeah yeah he's out of the room all right yeah so um how many like you guys live in Vegas right you live there yeah I live in Vegas yeah we initially lived in Santa Monica together and then we moved to Vegas together why because of the taxes that was a big part of it yeah it's also really nice there like I feel like LA's kind of been going downhill what do you think about that I'm not moving no I don't care what you guys say I don't care what Joe Rogan or anybody says to go to Austin I'm not leaving La but has it gone downhill like we're driving through downtown we're at Eagle Rock and I was telling the last time I was here was like 10 years ago driving through Eagle Rock it got bad like some of the buildings were like half kind of like dilapidated graffiti everywhere people like roaming the streets in the middle of the street I never remembered it like that yeah but that's why I don't go there where do you go just in my neighborhood oh yeah you can't really you know have an opinion about things that you don't actually see you just block it yeah back like let me just say something okay when they said when back in the day there's blood and Crips dog what's up I feel like yeah I know but I never went so I just didn't you just because we I never went to Watts or Compton right and checked it out I mean I just don't pretend that it's not like Venice like you ever get I didn't go there man those are the worst kind of homeless yeah what's the difference between Venice because the women's and Venice think they have talent [Music] check me out all right and then you're like here's a dollar what was that 80 s what you happen yeah and they saw cap dancing but you're like that's so well they have some sort of instrument that like made out of you know tin and you know I mean because that's the paint the paint cans I don't like the drums so they think they have talent you know what I mean um which they probably do for their level you know what do you think I just don't know what that means no no the thing is what it is you know you see the guy with the electric guitar oh yeah the rollerblade yeah I was a kid but he's like he's like the Denzel of that yes right I feel like it's the drummers that's one of them that I'm like questionable I could just be hitting him at some random Tempo I really don't know right you can't fake that you know right um how do you feel about the silver dude that's like frozen I just see him oh that's Santa Monica yeah but do you like that guy no idea what probably because it's the same thing every single like you can go to Vegas and you see the same silver guy you you know exactly I know what it is yeah you know exactly they're just sitting really what they're doing is just sitting here they are very uncomfortable so there's something going on why silver though why can't you be another call I've seen gold you've seen gold I've seen gold yeah yeah what about [ __ ] bro I think that would be questionable well you know 2023 the what what what do you eat if you're painting yourself right now you're pinning yourself with a dark color isn't that kind of going against whatever how did you get how did you get started in common yeah I don't want to talk about that that's totally fine I wanna no I like it okay cool but no yeah I don't how about this let's segue into in a natural way okay sure because I was like kind of like you know we're going this for free and they're like you're obviously a funny guy we've laughed more in the first 10 minutes of this than any other podcast have you always been funny it's not it's not funny I just like what I do is I just I just kind of just talk you know what I mean it's I don't think it's funny it's just my I'm still a weird guy I think it's a skill is it I can't I cannot be fine like that like if I tried I honestly don't think I'm being funny I I honestly don't think the whole room is laughing though yeah but I don't know why because you're funny well let me say that am I the little guy is that why no I'm the little Asian Guy funny guy I honestly didn't even take I mean I'm in I'm a clown is that what I have no no I'm kidding but no I listen to me man um you get a lot of girls me yeah yeah to be honest you have a girlfriend no why I don't have a girlfriend do I get I don't take get a lot of girls I do my best and occasionally I'll get dates yeah but I would say I do a worse than you would probably imagine well okay so um this year how many girls have you smashed zero Christian huh no you tried yeah hold on no no pause pause I didn't try to smash yeah I you know I try to have a loving relationship oh Jesus Christ what but here's the thing it's it's hard and also I I will how old are you 24 guy I don't find it this is the age to do it because let me just say something guy all right when I was in my 10-year relationship the thing that was in the back of my mind was like I should have done it more in my 20s why can't you now I am doing it now I just woke up how is that I love it is that good for you so you feel so good how are you good with the ladies how are you good with them like what is it like I think we're gonna find them where do I find them yes let's start downtown the homeless you're the one you know the silver one the electric guitar guy no um no I know what I'm saying is this is be real let's be real um because I don't um you know when I was in my 20s I was too afraid to even go for it because the rejection really hurt and now I think I just don't really like care that much anymore like I've had girls I've had hey you want to hang out and I've heard I've had girls go ew now we're not gonna I just move on they said you to you like ill yeah we're in Hawaii I swear to God it happened I was in Hawaii bro I'm walking down the street this blonde girl because she's from Oklahoma how old is she she's white probably anywhere between 25 and 35. okay is that pretty good yes and then her friend's like she's like oh can I get a foe with you and I go yeah and she and then her friends were like like ooh they said utu they go oh who's that guy right and she oh he's a convict this and that and then and they go is that you're gonna be your future husband to the blonde girl and she goes ew a bigger I took the photo and I left I will say this much yeah I think you can turn those though no you're not I am I don't I don't see you yeah no like what do you mean by the uh do you mean like like well to some I'm pretty ooh probably and to some I'm you as well right and then there's some there's some girls are ooh to me right so I think we're out of understanding yeah yeah yeah yeah I think that you can turn some of those ooh encounters like you can just keep persisting and being the best person that you can possibly be and I feel like after enough time once you've proven yourself to somebody you think there needs to be that upfront chemistry there's got to be some nope because we're talking you're talking we're talking about two different games okay you're talking about finding the love of your life right and I'm talking about smashing those are two different games God yeah yeah but actually I I to be honest with you um I think I like somebody right now really I do like somebody and that's all I'm going to say although you know what while we're on the topic of being a Creator I gotta say I know how overwhelming it could be to see all the equipment that's out there and think oh I gotta spend thousands of dollars to get started up but thankfully our sponsor of stream

Down Below in the description to get started today thank you so much stream yard we love you and back to the episode interesting yeah I guess what sort of qualities do you like about a person like that I like um the opposite of what I am I'm a dirty ethnic bastard yeah I mean I spit I spit in the coochie I do I spit around the coochie and I don't apologize for it I go right and they go what oh I don't care yeah I mean but I like the opposite the I like ones that are like that say ooh oh no that don't say I like the ones that are like I go to church I wake up at eight in the morning I do yoga you know what I mean and then I you know I take my son to school you know I mean there's normal normal people I mean I don't want anyone to spit on me back and then it becomes a weird thing you know what I mean so it's like no I like the opposite of like who I am you know because I'm uh I'm a creature of the night and I want a angel of the day good a good Yin and Yang yeah yeah I think that makes sense I feel like that's a lot of guys just in general are attracted to like the proactive woman who like gets up early and like you know takes the kids to school they go to activities and their life like I feel like those are just generally accepted attractive qualities in women yeah yeah yeah I want you to say [ __ ] for to me good what does that mean I don't know but it's Asia and then I love it it's gonna be some slur or something right I think it's a hello I think it's a yes or something in Japan um yeah I mean um but right now because I was in a 10-year thing um I'm not really eager to rush into another long-term thing right I just you know I just um I'm not just trying to figure I'm trying to I think I'm in a new metamorphosis in my life yeah what did you learned relationship what did you learn from that relationship oh well first of all I love her still yeah you know um we have a podcast together called tigerbelly and I love her immensely she's my best friend I learned a lot I learned um that I can love somebody you know unconditionally um even if it's not sex is not involved really and um I trust her like family you know I really do um I love her I love her whole family and um um I didn't really learn anything else like politician answers oh my God I'm sorry let's do it again no about my point but I do love her and um you know I know I'm going through something right now in my life and I uh you know I've been chasing this dream and you know for a very long time and um you know it's it hasn't panned out the way I thought it was going to pan out in many ways it's better than I ever thought it would ever be it's a nightmare as well but I um I don't know I just need a change and I don't know what it is but um it could be Vegas it could be

Minotaur would I damn the mid door yeah what is a Minotaur that's [ __ ] [ __ ] up that's not a human yeah dude a Minotaur dude your race is against mythologicals dude and I don't [ __ ] like it I I honestly yeah yeah I like mythological creatures a lot but I don't guess what what guess what a Minotaur is you just did a bowl of some sort right yeah you don't know anything about mythological creatures I'm gonna throw some ear away okay so a Minotaur is what it's a bull body and human legs do you know that no have you seen that in any movie or anything no all right let's let's go Lord what's a centaur I don't know I know it sounds dude you know what do you and I let me say something if I was a woman right I think we would you think because we have the same kind of I I like it I do like mythology I like Percy Jackson you know Percy Jackson oh yeah yeah yeah you read that no oh I was gonna say it that would be good let's just move on but um you don't want to send Tauros well then you know man do you know what a Seder is I don't know what that is a Seder is goat lower half yeah and human upper half whoa seder I've never heard of that yeah and you could cover yourself up if you're a sailor just with some pants yeah and no one would ever know [ __ ] of it I can't believe you said I had like a wrecking ball still to be honest anyway so you know so you don't like you don't like fantasy or sci-fi or anything no not really so in the movies you've never seen like Lord of the Rings I've seen Lord of the Rings I like that Harry Potter is great oh so you do like it then you know I just don't know the names like just throw out these names I just don't know what they are do you usually drink cups with two hands I'm just I'm just curious I don't mean that in any way it's just the honest question I do whatever I'm just curious because I've I've personally I haven't seen you're a one-hand guy I am a one-hand guy yeah yeah why do you just opt for the two-hand method instead well I saw Trump do it once drinking water he's both hands I'm like that's a good way to do it he's such big hands yeah I know he was like shaking it was drinking it was great yeah yeah no I don't know why but I just do okay it's none of your business that's a it's good to be here thank you for coming yeah yeah um let me ask you this your parents were are still together they are you're not correct how do you do this I could just look at it no you are so innocent and pure and kind of like unreal in many ways I mean you're very like you shouldn't exist right more menesque almost I know you're Jewish well I'm but like biologically yes because my mom is Jewish yeah yeah but I'm not I didn't grow up religious at all yeah but you just look like a Americana just a well-natured young man thank you man right there's something about you and there's an edge about you and there's something about you that's um Slytherin hmm yeah there's you know what I did one of those Facebook quizzes like which Harry Potter are you and it was Slytherin I know it was yeah you know I'm Hufflepuff nice to meet you can I just ask you really quickly would you make love with a centaur well I've never seen a female Centaur so no what about a would you make love with a Montour what is it called a Montour a Montour the the bowl one Minotaur Minotaur would you ever make love with a Minotaur I've never seen a female Minotaur either but if hypothetically I mean they should they probably do exist because you know I mean how do they have kids it's in a bowl just male like a ball that's a good point that's a good point but if there was some sort of thing like you know I mean he was and then I look at the the badge area I go oh looks nice you know what I mean and I know it's just you know I mean bull penis cut in half and tucked and satisfied but that sounds good to you that would be the best looking vagina I've ever seen for me to like because you're still you know the bull half when you're making love you know yeah so no I don't think so no let's go human though ask me some humans sure okay would you make love with a quadriplegic explain to me what that is that means you have no limbs no arms no legs well I thought I thought that's just you can't move your arms realize quadriplegic yeah yeah know what the [ __ ] thing is thrown out yeah okay well let's just say you have no arms and legs yeah just don't use the terminology because you don't know the term okay I really thought you know you're so ridiculous go ahead okay someone without legs and arms no matter I can have to ask some questions yeah were they did were they born without them or did they lose it in a war they lost it in a war no how they were riding their bike and they got hit by a car they lost their arms the legs were riding a bike it was really brutal it was it was brutal it was brutal yeah yeah why not so that's your logic here's the problem though with that it's not that I'm not going to be a sexually attract to them or you know I mean we're not gonna get along it's just I'll end up being like their Rickshaw almost like carrying them around everywhere you know what I mean yeah I just don't like that aspect of it like I gotta go to the bathroom you know what I mean and then you gotta you know what I mean right right because someone with no arms and legs what do they just yeah and then you can roll around the house just it's slithering that would be [ __ ] weird no yeah right or no I I mean you would have to carry them around either you know not Slither but like what are you doing oh that's even weirder they're just rolling around the house that'd be [ __ ] weird but I think that's oh yeah harness like like a back something like that or like or like kangaroo thing a front pouch like a front pouch stick it in the front right and we can go ATV you know do something right yeah I do want to mention this go ahead that what I admire about you a lot and something I'm trying to learn from you is how are you so Shameless and because I've realized throughout my life I've been subjected to a lot of judgment from random people this guy one of the most judgmental people I've ever met in my entire life yeah and I do sometimes like you you noticed it earlier how I felt like I was kind of like wondering what the best thing is to say because for fear for judgment because I've had well you edit this podcast right we do yeah well then you can say whatever you want you can edit it out but I don't want to be free the more we include the better yeah we edit out 40 of every podcast you really okay so we I talked to so many other podcasters very other very few other podcasters edit out that much like we had out maybe 20 of most podcasts so I'm curious what said that makes you edit it out that's what we edit it I can't say it yeah yeah like what what would get flagged on YouTube so is this so that's the metric it's just like hey with this good flag when we make money you're right you know and you know I mean there was a time in in um in comedy where you could say whatever you want and there were no consequences and there's there's so many deep consequences now and um you know I've gotten in trouble for it so it's just like I just I mean it sucks you mean you can't say what you want to say and um regardless it's wrong or right I mean you just kind of explore different ideas but um I have never heard or I've never really seen people get so like uptight or sensitive as they are today as they were back then I mean you have like the Eddie Murphy specials and like all of these things and it seems like people are now going back decades saying well you said this in the 1980s and that's unacceptable and you should apologize for it yeah it's terrible but um I can't change anything um there's nothing I can do and so um I'm playing by it the rules you know what I mean that's laid in front of me and um yeah I don't know how long if it gets worse I don't know how long we can do it but um right now it's still fine we can still say a lot of the things we want to say and that's got to make you paranoid though like in the back of your mind or you are constantly thinking like oh I can't say that what you have to do is this you have to um and this is like pretty serious um and it's sad you have to let go of the things that they can take away right so when somebody gets canceled they go I'm going to lose this this and this and the reason why they freak out when they're getting canceled is because they there's they want to grab onto this thing that they're going to lose right so what I've had to do is like just already have funerals for my other dreams right because it's like you know because if they can't take that away then I'm fine yeah there's a real estate guy Ben Mala yeah says whatever's on his mind does not care at all yeah people love it yeah but he is like you know everything he is nothing really to gain from anything so he's just like you know I'll say whatever it doesn't matter to me either way I'm set yeah it's fine but the problem though is is that he doesn't have like I act yeah right so you know I'm on Sex in the City reservation all these shows right and those are the things that you know I mean that they can take away and I love doing those things I love doing those shows I love I love the people I work with I love the process of acting it's a dream of mine to do it but I've had to let it go because they can take it away you know I mean and I'm not going to allow myself right to live in fear yeah right so I've already kind of like you know if I don't act again I don't act again you know if I don't if certain parts of my you know business is dead you know I mean then so be it but is it is it the love of doing that sort of stuff that's keeping going or is it like the a dollar amount behind it where it's like hey if I had 50 million bucks I wouldn't care I'd say whatever no no no no it's still no it's still like I mean I I you know I love comedy dude and I and I love um I love doing it with Andrew I love doing it with you know my own podcast as well um there's the it's the love of doing it you know but um of course I mean you know you you do make YouTube money and money you know what I mean like you guys do and uh it pays the bills and that's great and we're blessed but um but you have to have the love you have to want to do it I do stand up every night I love doing it you know um they can't take away stand up either which is right they can't take away podcasts so it's like um I don't know it's been just really interesting you know the last couple of years you know it does seem like people just want to get upset at something what was the wink about I just I just felt like it was so serious I had to do like a little bit Yeah like get it going yeah yeah it does seem like though people are just getting upset for the sake of getting upset like they want something to be angry at so they're purposely looking for things to be upset listen you can be upset and I'm upset about a lot of things you know I'm a you know there's a lot of things that I that really trigger me and round me up right I just don't um you know I don't I don't go on the internet to destroy someone's life right people have their opinions you know I mean like Taylor Mars were green was that her name you know that is I've heard the name but I'm not wait you don't know who Marjorie Taylor green is well you just said she's Taylor Marjorie Margaret Taylor I've never heard of it I've never no I've heard her name before politics right yes okay there are things about her she says really crazy Q Anon you know I mean kind of things you know space lasers and all these crazy things but I would never like and I think I think what she says is totally bad for the country and you know but you know I don't want to hurt her I Just Disagree you know what I mean I think the problem now is it's like oh no I don't like what you said or I disagree with you so you you should no longer make a living you know what I mean that's what I have a problem with that yeah I think disagreeing in silence is just gone now like people they need to have their opinion heard and they need to like morally show their superiority over somebody if the other person has an opinion that they could spin as unethical or something like that yeah but you know but then again it's like it's fine but no I mean it's fine in the sense that like you know I've you know if I look back on my life I'm 51 I'm almost 52 years old you know and I've just had a wild ride man I've had a great ride I'm so blessed I've seen so many things and I've experienced so many things and I um you know and trials and tribulations but also I was able to travel the world and your impact on people yeah and do comedy and I have a great fan base I love them all and I'm so [ __ ] blessed so it's like at the end of the day it's like there's really nothing to complain about you know there really isn't you know what I mean this [ __ ] guy over here does it concern you at all and do you think that the comedy is less funny with these new social restrictions well I think my the truth is this I think that the reason why bad friends is doing so well is because you know we it's the kind of Comedy they just can't put on TV and you know yeah and and you know there's a lot of Ivy Leagues like comedy people that don't like what me and Andrew do you know they think it's easy they think it's just like meat and potatoes and whatnot I don't give a [ __ ] listen if you don't like it listen to something else but it's like I think that the reason why we're resonating with a segment of society is because um you know that's how they fool around with their friends these are the things that they say you know what I mean at home or at a party or whatever you know I mean um we're just authentically being you know I mean ourselves the way we are it's funny because you know the other day I was at the comedy store and you know there was a bunch of comics back there and I I you know we're everyone's just like the one the things that we were saying were so funny and crazy and wild and making fun of each other and I was just basically like I stopped everyone I go dude if we should just be recording this because this is what how people talk yeah behind closed doors you know what I mean but it's like you know you can't do it publicly because people are afraid but um and television has really gone it's not funny it's just like a cookie cutter yeah those late night show Taco I mean never yeah what cracked gaggles really from those Jimmy Fallon no Jimmy Fallon yeah has he made you laugh probably yeah this [ __ ] guy to me you know those late night like Jimmy Fallon because he thinks Jimmy Fallon's listening oh yeah no that's okay but you [ __ ] you after Facebook if you asked me in the last four years have I no when I was 12 and I was like just figuring out the barrier that's even more hurtful so for Jimmy anyway Seth Meyers he made you laugh I don't know I don't even know who he is wow um I like Jay Leno I like him that's pretty funny yeah but he's not a late talk show late night talk show host he was one of the first you know you know DJs I mean he in many ways we wouldn't be doing what we're doing without him you know he's very important to that you know I know it wasn't podcasting but it was like irreverent really crazy yeah comedy his podcast is coming back I see a lot of Clips showing up now of Howard Stern on uh Tick Tock yeah yeah Beetlejuice has made this whole Resurgence I love him and like I love it as memes no you haven't where would I go is he here I don't know I I'm just wondering because you know have you met Beetlejuice have you I mean have you ever met um Vladimir Putin we could play this game all day long I was just wondering if you had an alien yeah no why would I meet him because he's friends with like Stern who's a comedian and then like I don't know it's kind of let me ask you something is Beetlejuice a comedian nobody's in that group kind of Western you know how would I meet him be real low let's think about that honestly because because he's friends with Stern I figured that there's probably some I've never done Stern I know well I didn't know that actually that you'd never know I love it I don't no I think he's just a very Frank he's a comedian guy he's that he's an edge he's just an edgy shock jock DJ who says funny things sometimes you know um yeah I don't think as a comedian I wouldn't consider him that though but um I like your eyebrows thanks man you're welcome man do you practice comedy is this something you have to work on do you come up with like jokes or is it just on the Fly you just like got it is that a boring question is it a bad question hold on okay what you see you surprised how natural is this to you of just coming up with like just I'm not really anything here's the thing yeah okay is it a natural is that natural even I could say something all right thank you for having me on I really appreciate it but I want to say this okay is I'm just talking to you guys this is the way I talk I understand right in my mind I was like I'm gonna say this because it's gonna be funny I don't do that I just say whatever it comes through to my mind like I just make [ __ ] up you know what I mean yeah and it's just and people find the funny but it's not like something like like here's my muscle you know I mean I'm going to show you that you know it's not that it's just like I'm just like talking but when do you realize you have a talent I don't even think it'd be funny this whole episode you said the wrecking ball thing which I know but to me to me it was the way for a long time I saw a guy with gigantism one thing his head look like a Wrecking Ball but that's just like I know but in my mind I'm like that I mean to me it's like that's what it looked like to me but to you you thought it was funny you know I did audition a long time ago for Mad TV which is a TV show schedule yes and I wrote characters and so these are things that I can do I can purposely write something and be funny within that parameter you know but it's like right now you know I mean I didn't write any of this now I'm just talking to you guys but you're right I mean it's like I've been in it for so long I don't really really think about in those terms really you know I just kind of just do you know I'm like the Joker I just do things you know what I mean and I I just show up to things the most important thing in life guys is to show up and just to do it right everything else is like you know you can do it harder or more perfect but it's just the whole idea of I think the problem we get in our society is people just live in this deep fear that they can't do things right and I'm gonna tell you guys right now I literally think I have quarter Down syndrome like I really I'm really dumb you know I have never read a book I got all apps in high school I went to four rehabs three rehabs in my life three or four I don't remember my behind us is that yeah you know I have no skill set whatever the only thing I know how to do and I've done right in my life is I'll just try to do it yeah you know I'll show up in an audition I'll give it a go you know what I mean I'm scared like everyone else I have fear like everyone else but instead of like not doing it I do it you know and I think that's the only thing I did right in my life it's just to put one foot in from the other and say [ __ ] it I'm doing it and and I think in the process of doing that you get more confident you know like before I did that you know when in my early 20s I couldn't get any girls or anything I couldn't even like if I got pulled over by the cops I couldn't look in them in the eyes I was just so afraid of authority and because my dad was so abusive and stuff and so but then when I was started doing stand up I realized oh it's just it's that confidence seeped into other areas of my life where I could like look at a girl and go hey you want to hang out you know because you know an audience not laughing is a devastating you know I mean rejection but then once you get used to that and you realize what it is and what it is is just people's opinions and you can have a bad night and it doesn't kill you and you know I mean it doesn't mean anything if you have a you know a rejection doesn't mean anything yeah yeah where did the shamelessness come from was that something that was shame what's Shameless about me you're not fear for judgment I feel like you oh I am you are yeah but you still do it regardless yeah so you overcome that well I mean I don't even know what do you mean by shamelessness but you say things that I would not say like what all those had like a wrecking ball like the center the sentence make love with a centaur like but how but but in my mind how is that bad it's a question that I ask myself at night if I if I watch Lord of the Rings right like when I have sex with that character yeah I'll go you know I wonder what it would be like to um make love to like a group of Hobbits how do I get in that that circular door you know what I mean that's what people call intrusive thoughts right yeah so but you you give them energy I mean you let them Foster yeah there's like this TV show called body bizarre insane I've never seen it yeah it's it's on um Discovery or some natural geographic and it's like you know they have little segments of people with like I'm not making fun of them and I'm sorry I don't know why I'm smiling I'm not gonna smile yeah yeah but you know like people that were like have like a 90 pound tumor coming out of their face why are you laughing I'm not laughing I'm not less insane I'm really not laughing yeah you're smiling that's insane dude he's laughing Romulus is laughing yeah I mean like some kid in some India you know what I mean and he's got like I've seen the antlers like hands coming out of their heads they go hello that's so [ __ ] up dude that's so insane you can't do it it's insane what you're doing dude that's like a [ __ ] they were born like that and they and they get you know I mean yeah so it's like so I watched that and I you know in my mind I'm like I don't know why but it's like even the guy with the tumor is like I wonder what you know I mean like if it's a woman if it's a woman with a 90 pound two more I go if there's no tumor down below you know what I mean you know I mean could you still smile I mean I just think of things like that it's wrong probably you know what I mean but you need therapy dude I do yeah you're mean I mean yeah you make fun of people with mutations yeah I don't think it's I don't know okay but like you know they have like Siamese wins but real people's lives some of those I've been I've questioned the logistics of like how that would like the Siamese twins won one of the logistics the the two girls that are conjoined at the head um they were talking about dating and they were like one of them wanted to date and the other one didn't want to date yeah and it's like how does that work if one goes out like wants to you know do stuff but they're conjoined at the head and the other one doesn't want to be a part of it well that's why I developed a product from them what's the product right it's a it's a wall but it's cut out right so they put it between right sure whether you know I mean where they're you know what I mean yeah where they're conjoined I have a full-blown wall and I have different styles I have brick you know I have a metal one I have a wooden one like I have one customers what it would just be probably a couple well I customize yeah but for other things jack up the prices imagine so you put a wall between them right and so no you're gonna be like this and you could do whatever you know I mean are they they have two bodies two bodies okay good yeah well yeah so you know I mean I mean they could do what they're doing there and it's soundproof the wall how much would it cost sounds expensive for a movable wand it's like fifteen thousand dollars what the profit margins on that kind of e no I mean it's cost 2 500 a minute yeah I'm gonna charge fifteen thousand that's pretty good right yeah it depends on what's up I mean and we cater it to other people like sometimes it's like you know I mean there's one body and two heads have you seen those ones okay I don't think they'll survive one person can have a relationship with somebody else because I feel like you'd have you'd effectively be having a relationship with two different people it's difficult dude in fact I would say that it's almost impossible that's why I created the wall man but you're right it's like what do you do I think what you'd have to do is I mean what I would have done I mean my brother would be dead you would eat them no he would just be like dead and I'll just go you know I mean like I would probably strangle him at night wouldn't you tell your other one that might affect you too at the doctors I was like hey just supposedly hypothetically if Steve died you know me wink wink right would it kill my body and the doctor goes I I don't think so why wouldn't you just get caught and just like sever the two he would just be ahead of that point because usually they don't separate them because I'll tell you what can I tell you one yeah this is crazy what about what to say I think the reason why is because I would want more of the head part wait you wouldn't I want more of the head part because when you're in surgery right right in surgery they'll go 50 50 on the head part that we're sharing right yeah but I would want a little bit more so I could just have more like room to mold you know I mean that opening or whatever 51.49 no no no no because he's gonna want you're gonna be more head parts so I just know this in my mind right and then I'm gonna be like I'll go yeah just doctor just you could just cut half of his head and we'll just mold it you know I mean into my you know what I mean after he's dead or something like that yeah yeah I'm a thinker that makes sense yeah what an insane idea huh pretty good huh I don't think we should make fun of people like that that's sad it's hard right what if the ones that like there was two girls I mean I guess they got a driver's license and one cop what and one cop that was a great movie you see that jacket two girls one cup to me I feel like you can squirt like you know I mean things in your butthole to make it look like poo yeah and they could squeeze out like you know you know that icing chocolate icing the whole video came out as fake Is that real smoothie it's real yeah yeah they drank a strawberry smoothie yeah threw it up yeah and then injected fudge that's what happened that's why they did it yeah that's the only way you could do it there's no way you could eat blue like that there's no way why do you love her just the way you said there's no way you could eat food like that right would you I would not no certainly not okay what about this 20 million tea my pool yeah but dude that would be it would be a tough day I mean a 20 million dollars in a day is pretty you know is that weird that you make that kind of money though yeah that's crazy you make a lot of money I make 20 million how much do you make I don't know you don't know you gotta have an idea I don't have enough like a ballpark can we guess no I'll tell you what I don't know um I've never asked who do you have to ask um I have a got money guy and I when I first signed them 15 years 15 years ago I got um I don't want to know how much money I have I don't wanna I don't want to live in a life in a world where I'm like always looking at my bank account worried and this and that so um yeah I don't know but the only problem is how much does he take he takes uh two percent of your income of your income he has multiple clients then Millions now like a really credible ones so how does it work do you just go to them say hey can I afford this today or like if you spend too much he's like hey you got to cut back no I call him like I call them yeah five days ago and I said I'm thinking about buying a new car all right go ahead it doesn't matter he goes no but you got to tell them the price of the car right no a couch a couch couch I said sorry couch it could be like a cloud couch though 15 grand or it could be Ikea yeah I could do 15 grand couch you know what I mean but you have no idea how much you make I don't know how much I have Oh either sometimes Andrew will go this is what we're making this month you're like oh wow that's crazy you know I mean but I don't really think about it yeah I mean I don't really um you curious no is there anything you because I think the numbers really low I'll just be depressed and I'll start panicking sure if I need to do more right but if you don't know then you just kind of just I just live my life see okay yeah I mean what if the number is high what if it's like a big it's probably high yeah but probably could be low I mean for me it's like I know that like like I asked my money guy I go you know how long can I not work yeah I mean um until um I run out of money yeah he goes a long long time so you can go out a long long time without working and you'll be fine you know I mean so just as long as I know that I'm fine so basically the way to figure it out well I'm not going to tell you you don't know okay you take your expenses you're going to multiply that by about 30 maybe 33 and that's probably how much money you have your monthly expenses sorry annual sorry annual expenses I don't even know what that is okay I don't know what I pay for my mortgage I don't know what I pay for my car I don't know what insurance costs I don't know what my lighting light utility cost I don't know all that's taken care of every bill every Bill I've never I don't even know where the phone bill I don't even know where to go to do it kind of sounds nice I'm not gonna lie to like not have to worry about like ever missing a payment on something that what's his name I'll call my guy and I go um do my cards now my credit card's not working he goes what's the problem he calls he goes oh well it's been you know hacked or what do you call it um stolen fraudulent projects fraudulent freeze on it and so you're gonna have to use that other card for like a week we'll get you another one that kind of thing but I don't really worry about it and you tell them the same thing for investing it's like invest my money for me just do whatever you think is best safe yeah yeah so he goes yeah and um like I know that he bought me many like 15 years ago he bought me um like a a a condo or an apartment complex or something we went in with a group sure and it's doing well you know I don't know so I just kind of like let him do it I don't do why do you why do you why do you want to know well I mean we're a money channel oh that's kind of what I do so like yeah yeah that's all you are yeah yeah my internship business yeah I mean my entire main channel is about like investing Building Wealth saving money is a big one so my thing I can call you for help then I'm not a financial advisor but I know but I can just give you go hey what do you think of this you could get my opinion for sure yeah I'm happy to do I can get your number is that what it is yeah it'll be real my number yeah for real all right yeah it'll be hurtful I mean my stuff is like pretty basic I'm missing that like index funds are best for most people save your money don't buy Starbucks is a big one save money just to waste like what do you believe I'm making a home oh you're one of those guys like you don't now legitimately I just I make coffee at home I'm really cheap oh you're so cheap yeah oh I don't want anything I'm not gonna call you I don't want your number it's a it's a prize [ __ ] crazy yeah I believe if you could save money in the small things it transfers over to everything else it's like eating a snack like if you're going to the gym you want to get in shape you know a little snack and Eminem isn't gonna hurt you but it's like it's 650 you wouldn't have bought it no shoes that works yeah those are the ones I was wearing yeah 500 bucks but they were free actually my entire outfit is free I say this all the time oh my God I wouldn't hate to date you oh what did you get your fiance what do you mean like for a gift for a gift yeah sushi okay yeah okay why do we make sushi at home I don't know I don't really know how to make sushi like that I mean it's easy it's a better deal to go and get all you could eat sushi in Vegas for 30 than it is to go and make it at home it's cheaper okay it's very interesting okay so it's like this it's like um going to all you can eat sushi yeah you know what I mean at a gas station or go to awesome which is a they used to be a Michelin star social restaurant it's really good yeah do you like ice cream [ __ ] guy dude this piece of [ __ ] right [ __ ] you dude do you like ice cream who the [ __ ] don't like [ __ ] ice cream bro that's like a ridiculous question man I will say I actually don't like ice cream that much [ __ ] guy it's true I prefer brownies cookies chocolates and stuff like that ice cream is too cold and it's hard to eat fast oh you're one of those fast eaters oh I eat so fast yeah you don't enjoy it I do enjoy it no you don't you can't enjoy it if you're eating it fast I enjoy it to a higher degree for a shorter amount of time I've thought about this but you don't know how to save her no you have your savored and you go wow I'm the opposite of that so you got you when you guys are very practical if you do that in a restaurant you do that when you eat [ __ ] you go okay good night I'm like what the [ __ ] what do you do what what do you do safer dude I'm down there till it's done I'm I slow it bring up my you know my napkin and my knife you know man but this you know [Music] you know and do all that stuff right but you you're like you're done you're not good dude you guys change your ways man slow it down when you eat anything you eat fast too huh I do I'm a pro you're a rabbit [ __ ] right now I'm a practically yeah what do you [ __ ] you know when he [ __ ] dude right you could tell he's a [ __ ] power rabbit [ __ ] right this guy right right and they're like I do nothing and then you're done and then you're like you know man you're done and you call your accountant got rabbit [ __ ] by you it's insane dude stop that too yeah yeah yeah yeah stop it I'm checking my credit score afterwards yeah see that's so weird that you do that yeah yeah do you not have credit karma you just do what your credit score is I don't I don't even know what it is okay like I said dude I don't um care that much you know but um there were times in my career where I did care because I had no money well when you have no money then you look because it's like you know you have 475 dollars in your bank that's all you have yeah then you have to go or what can I eat this week right but when if it's anywhere above if you make anything above a half a million a year why would you have to check yeah that's a lot of money how were you making it buy though what would you do to get by on like you know when you have like 400 in the bank account I would do random like one night gigs there was always like these things like triple runs back in the 90s or like there were all these weird clubs that you could play like in Tucson and so one-nighter and they give you like 300 cash or whatever but I would do those kind of things I would also like like one time I uh The Comedy Store um owned a theater called the Richard Pryor theater I forgot what street it was on but it was abandoned and um they told me there they go there's people living in there and you and a bunch of like door men at the comic store have to go and this is off the clock and you guys have to clear them out so we came with sticks and stuff you know I mean so I would do random weird jobs like that but I would do anything to make money like when I'm desperate for money I'm willing to do anything yeah I'll wash dishes you know I mean I'll do grout work I don't know what that is but you know sure but I like you know I'll you know spank or whatever you know what I mean but where'd you get that work ethic from it's not work ethic I'm lazy ask anyone everyone everyone I'm sorry I get energy everyone knows I'm a lazy [ __ ] face very lazy but I don't also want to eat and survive and also you know were you when when was the last time you were poor high school maybe were your parents were poorer they were very much paycheck to paycheck yeah oh yeah but it was never the point where like we were ever concerned about like not having food or not having like a roof over our head do you give your parents money now um to some degree what do you mean it's just some degree I do but I know I've always said my mom money you know I mean it's a good it's a good thing to do I want to be a good son um but um so you're a poor in high school how about you when's the last time you were poor I don't think I was ever poor but there were definitely times where I would not like all of my friends would be going out to eat and I wouldn't buy anything because I didn't have it poor oh my parents had money they just wouldn't give it to me like I just didn't oh yeah so if there's no time in your 20 how old are you now 20 20 that's about 24 yeah such a baby I was the guy in the friend group that would never eat when we all white for like three months I mean you're only 25 years when from 18 to 20 what the [ __ ] you're talking about all throughout High School I mean what do you use I'm talking about like in your 20s late 20s you're living with 12 guys in a two-bedroom apartment which is what I did and you're sleeping like sardines like it's Amistad right and you no one can eat and you're like you like I was in despair there was many times in my career where I was in despair I um like I've gone through so many like phases in the comedy business you know I mean where stand up was dead or you know I mean this was in and this was in you know I mean I've been able to figure out how to like kind of adapt to each era when you're poor you know but you know when you have some money why why so I've a lot of people that were poor at some period of time in their lives are less scared of going back to being that because they know what it was like and they know it it's not like the worst thing in the entire world it's the worst thing in the whole world you really think so being poor so I know I've heard this from plenty of people that have been in situations like that where like okay I could always go back to sleeping on my parents couch and I'm totally hold that that's why they're not afraid of well I could you know yo you're right I mean I could go to my mom like if really things went bad you know um because I bought my mom's house and you know it's a small little house in uh Phoenix so if I if things got really bad I could go home live in my room and do that it would be so depressing but yeah I guess I could do that but I think that that I'll be so depressed if that happened wouldn't you be depressed I don't know I think I'll be fine what about you living at your mom's house yeah probably no money yeah I don't know I don't think I'd probably find with it for but I love going back to this I do it like at least once a month and I stay there yeah we have to have more empathy for people people are struggling out there what do we do you think there's do you think there's gonna be a recession bro bro that little Gap when that happened was so awkward and so good it was so uncomfortable good right it's almost as if like I said something and it went to a different Multiverse and you received it in a different you know what I mean plane almost yeah that was insane oh like did you see that right I go what do we do you know like something [ __ ] weird habit like he has no empathy you have no empathy is that what it is trying to think that was insane wow that was uncomfortable holy [ __ ] dude don't ever do that again there's like 20 questions in my head I don't know what happened though but you [ __ ] crazy I know I threw that out there dude you broke down almost for a second and you rev back up oh my God that was insane let's just go to uh yeah no because you're not functioning correctly yeah I got a question yeah go ahead because you mentioned in a podcast that you became a comedian because you didn't like the fact that you felt like other people did not like you what did you became a comedian because you thought other people didn't like you and I never said that you said that on a podcast I listened to the podcast earlier today it was on Lex Friedman you think you always thought people didn't like you yeah so you became a comedian oh yeah yeah I did say that I did say that yeah jokes and be a funny person because that's an easy way to get people to like I don't know exactly what I said but um yeah I mean you know I don't think that it's strange to think that you know I mean people don't like you I mean I have a lot of friends really you know I I had a core group of friends but I wasn't popular in any kind of way you know so it's like I felt invisible is what I I think when I wanted to say every time I would walk into a place I would feel invisible like no one was seeing me or noticing me so what did you do to change that exact date you just felt more comfortable being yourself and saying the things that were on top of your mind and stuff like that no I just started doing stand-up that was it yeah because you know it was like um the first time where it's so sad to say even but it's the first time where I felt like okay like at least you know I mean the focus is on me for a second you know and you know it felt um like I was being seen or whatever in the beginning but then you get used to it like anything else but yeah I mean it but what it did help me with is like I think I said this before early in the podcast where it helped me with the confidence to go out in the real world and be seen it's almost as if like I was like it transferred over into the public you know I mean even with though I wasn't even famous you know when I went to my waiting job for instance there was just more of an era about me of more confidence you know what I mean and that you know I mean with people would spot respond to me in a different way it's an upward spiral of success like you get one little win and it's like you get the confidence to another one and that gives you the confidence to another one it builds on each other but like you have to imagine I'm you know 1995 I started yeah okay and I've been doing it since then okay so it's like um and back then there was no internet so I had to do it the old-fashioned way which is like slow and painful you know a billion gigs terrible gigs night after night going on the road to a Holiday Inn in the middle of a desert and doing it in front of three [ __ ] rednecks or whatever and that's constant right for years no money you know now it's like kids instantly become famous because of tick tock or whatever which is fine I have no you know I mean that's your life you know I mean and good for you but I I did not experience that you know it's it's we were talking about the other night a bunch of comics older Comics were like it's thank God for the internet because it's like you know it just became easier to reach an audience you know it's like it went from like you know what it is it's like La used to be 12 Gatekeepers like 12 people the if like eight of them didn't like you good luck really right but now it's like oh you know what we don't need you I'm just gonna go to the people because that's what you're blocked you were blocking me from the people yeah before by not putting me in [ __ ] right so now we can just go to them and then that's now I'm like see yeah like I always knew that but it's like so for The Gatekeepers are they the ones that like comedy clubs or no Gatekeepers were like um TV and movies well like one of The Gatekeepers that did like me was I thought was Allison Jones she was she's one of the greatest casting directors and she always booked me in things you know I mean I was you know the dictator and Curb Your Enthusiasm and you know love you know Apatow enjoyed Apatow stuff you know what I mean and I always loved her she was always like I felt like she got me and she but I I would love to name names yeah I'm this close to doing it but like they just wouldn't give me the time of day they didn't see it they would say things like he's not a star or we don't see it they'll say that out loud did you believe or internalize that when yeah you you do believe it yeah oh yeah well because then you know that they hired your friend yeah I mean you're oh my friend's more special to them you know than me or whatever but then it's like you go to the people and people are like no no that's legit I mean it's yeah it's like going right to the [ __ ] tap yeah is that it's just like instant feedback I've heard is when you post something like that you could tell within a minute how it's received but what's also helped me with it's also helped me get into projects so much easier now like you know reservation dogs Sex in the City and Magnum PI were the latest three shows I was on they were all offers right I mean they just like you want to do it whereas if that happened 15 years ago if even if I could get an audition which I would never have gotten one you know I mean you're you're getting pitted against 50 other people it's just like a long shot yeah it's never gonna [ __ ] happen but now it's just like you know what I don't need that I'll do this and now they're like well come play and I'm like oh I will how much time are you dedicating now to your podcast versus everything else like uh I guess job wise like it has has the podcast gotten to a point now where it's like you know you don't need anything else is that the goal I do need other things because it's like it doesn't fulfill [Music] all my desires um but no because I I have to do stand up sure and I do love acting you know um but um for right now it's where I make most of my money if I toured more I could make more money doing that but I'm going out with Andrew you know I mean so we're doing we just did 26 cities we did San Diego you know a different gigs and it's been incredible I mean you know I you know I used to sell give me I could sell out a comedy club but now it's like we're doing these theaters and it's it's so [ __ ] amazing you know so um I'm not gonna quit podcasting um I love it but I want to do all the other things as well but it's like um but it's also at the end of the day I don't know what's an ax do you with AI coming around the corner we have no idea what the next fad is going to be the next Tick Tock the next Vine yeah I mean I mean people like unlike movies and television shows are [ __ ] dying because of the internet now you know what I mean um this is people can consume other things you know and they and one day they might get tired of us they might get tired of YouTube I think for the next few years I think it's podcasting and shorts and I've seen a lot of comedians on Tick Tock who's that one guy who just maybe it's him who just rips off the the crowd yeah Matt Rife yeah and he's just posting his three-minute segments on Millionaire on Tick Tock but the amount of money that he has to be making right now because he's been playing over one minute millionaire my guess he's probably making a million a month just with I mean I feel that I don't want to get into his business but I know the deal that I was in the high Millions yeah oh yeah yeah I believe it yeah he's killing it but he deserves that yeah Matt Rife was somebody that I knew for a very long time and he was always doing it how did you meet him he's a local you know the comic that we would see at gigs and stuff I mean he's a kid that did the business he he has Street Credibility yeah that's why Matt Rive making it doesn't it makes me happy yeah it makes me go you know what that kid [ __ ] deserves it um because I know he's been he did the the deal you know when people don't do the deal I don't have respect for it what do you mean by the deal the suffering through it okay there's gonna be some suffering yeah you know I mean you got to go you know you got to come to LA or New York and go if you want to be a stand-up and go through that process uh because that's where the best Comics are right New York and LA right you got to go to those cities and you go listen I did it no money showed up no one knew who I was they treated me like [ __ ] and I looked at everyone I went you'll see one day um and I Through Time slowly crawled my way up you you know like any like anyone that makes it Taylor Tomlinson young but I know that she grinded I know she's a part of that that scene you know I've seen her around as a young person you know um name you know anyone uh now I'm curious when you see these people do you know instantly that they have what it takes or do you think this is something where it's like I they have the perseverance and the dedication they're gonna make it no no you either have it you're done but yeah I have seen people go and go and not laugh and go that guy's gonna make again like it's not my brand of Comedy sure but I can I I look at it and I go you know what dude this guy's so good I just it's not my thing yeah I mean yeah I can do to see that I mean I I feel like I have a good sense of things sometimes people surprise me though you know I'm not right all the time you know what I mean but for the most part I could kind of see something uh yeah that person like I was there when I first saw Andrew Sentinel the first time I saw Andrew Santino this is 12 you 14 I don't know how long ago many years ago and I sat there and I was in the original room and I saw him perform and he was young and I went and I was sitting there with another guy and we looked at each other and went yeah that guy's good like you just can tell you know do you feel offended when people use words that are like derogatory towards no I don't get offended by anything enough I get I get offended by Behavior right actions you know if I see somebody do something terrible but if it's in comedy right I don't get a bad fan then I'm kind of the same I've never been sensitive if I know someone's joking like even if they use a slur towards me or something something I subscribe to I'm totally fine with it as long as I know it's like they don't actually have that like Angry vitriol for me yeah the problem is though is that um people that are fans of mine know pretty much how I do things and how I deliver things and say things but you know I've fallen into situations where people that have no idea who I am and they listen to like a little clip of a you know it's problematic to them you know um and I hate that you know see I think I don't get offended but I do think some jokes can be distasteful I think like um you know like animal abuse I think of like really like like some brain like the submarine jokes I didn't find the funny I wasn't offended I was like yeah you know I get the humor behind it but I was like ah it's I don't know I mean for me it's like you know like I know Jimmy Carr you know Jimmy Carr he's an English comic one of the best his jokes are so [ __ ] dark and edgy inner men and they're so good I mean just just the writing in it is so good the switches and it's like he says [ __ ] up things and it's in the in the form of a joke yeah it's in the context of a comedy whatever whatever you know what I mean it's fine this is not real life even me talking to you guys right now this is me isn't me talking to my friend you know I mean at Starbucks or whatever no this is an elevated exaggerated half the things that I say I don't even know what the [ __ ] I'm talking about I don't even think I believe half the things I say or do you know what I mean I'm just here to fill the gaps and my mind goes oh this will be good let's try this let's try this yeah but it's like this is not real I mean this is entertainment yeah it's our version of this is not how you really are that's no no because if we were no that's if we turned all this off and we sat down right you would be more free to say certain things I would say yes I don't want to say that I don't want to say that yeah maybe like 25 but that's not still essentially who you are in real life right it's still an an elevated or you know I mean an exaggerated version of who you are yeah you know but um good job thanks for having me on wait we got to show
