A new Caramel Apple 5-Hour Energy Shot is introduced as a refreshing, sugar-free fall treat featuring crisp apple and smooth caramel flavors, available exclusively online. The product is marketed as a limited-time indulgence for consumers seeking sweet, healthy alternatives to traditional sugary snacks. The podcast extends beyond product promotion to include engaging, personal discussions on attraction preferences, body image, and self-awareness, with guests sharing how they form personal "attraction templates" based on early experiences and cultural influences. Themes of financial responsibility, such as using budgeting apps like Monarch, are also explored, emphasizing mindful spending during the holidays. The conversation flows into broader topics like personal growth, relationships, and life experiences, including late puberty and family dynamics. The show concludes with promotional highlights for lifestyle products, including Ridge wallets and Eb Ocean Club’s 30% Black Friday sale, all tied to a larger narrative of self-discovery, humor, and consumer awareness. The tone remains light, energetic, and reflective, blending entertainment with personal insights.

He's saying my sweatshirt fit him.
Big fan of you, man.
Oh, yeah.
Wait until Bobby left to shake his head.
Well, because Bobby's hat can't talk to him.
I like this place.
It's a little chaotic and a lot for the brain.
It's busy in a good way.
I like it.
Thank you.
A lot of pictures of naked Bobby.
Yeah.
Lots of that.
Yeah.
We actually took down a couple of the naked Bobby pics.
Oh, we had some more.
Yeah, we had a lot.
It was very distracting for guests.
We had his father's ashes somewhere.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Is it the bottom half, top half?
I think Bobby had. Bottom half.
Bottom half.
Yeah.
He wants to control in case his father lost it.
He doesn't want to be haunted by the top half.
Oh, yeah.
Top half, yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
This is all normal stuff.
Yeah, of course.
Yeah.
Where are his dad's ashes?
He probably lost it.
Yeah, he lost it.
Wow.
I think they're out there.
Where are your dad's ashes?
We're trying to find them.
Where did your papa's ashes go?
Oh, I love that board.
You have autism?
What's going on?
That's good.
That's the board.
Wow.
Projection much?
Yeah.
Oh, man.
Oh, man.
Listen to that.
Rico.

He's been in movies.
Hangover.
Step brother.
21 Jump Street.
21 Jump Street.
Cop out.
What?
I didn't say that one.
What?
It's Jaime.
That was Jaime.
Oh, let's be cops.
Wait, you did cop?
Let's be cops.
Let's be cops.
Cop out.
I think, wasn't that
Burt Reynolds or something?
Cops, the reality show.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bad boy.
Jaime, don't make up credits.
Let's be cops.
I know, but you said cop out
during the song.
Cop out.
That was the one with the little kid
and like Burt Reynolds, wasn't it?
I don't know, dude.
I'm not that old.
I'm only 54.
You're 55.
It was unwatchable.
It was?
I believe.
Yeah, yeah.
No offense to cop out.
Oh, cop out.
Oh, no, that was a different one.
Okay.
Yeah.
Bruce Willis.
Yeah, that's Bruce Willis.
Jaime.
Yeah.
Anyway, guys, give Rob
a round of applause.
Yeah.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
I've never done that.
We've never done hey, hey, hey.
It's Rob Bigelow.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Let's do it again.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Okay, that's good.
That's good.
Rob.
God, what a handsome man.
I love it.
You love being handsome?
I want to be.
This is how I should be treated.
Everywhere I go.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just song and dance.
Do you think you're handsome?
No.
Yeah.
I got a lopsided head.
I think I came out of my mom in a rush.
Yeah.
Or the doctor pulled too hard
because my face slid.
Oh.
So, like, one side's higher than the other.
It haunts me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Can I see your profile, please?
Whoa.
You could be a president.
He could be a president.
What about this side?
Yeah.
Oh, no.
One of. Yeah, it's Dr. Heckle.
Mr. Hyde.
There it is.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, it's split,
but it's like two faces.
You're Harvey Dent.
Harvey Dent.
I see some people
that have, like, that perfect symmetry.
Oh.
You know, the perfect.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Glenn Powell?
Yeah, Glenn Powell.
What about me?
Most of your beautiful people
have perfect symmetry.
I ain't got it.
What about me?
You got good symmetry.
Yeah, I would say
you're pretty symmetrical.
Yeah, you got good symmetry.
But could I be a president?
Yes.
Yeah.
Wait.
Well, not from this country.
Obviously.
Hello, everybody.
I'm your president.
Yeah, that's Kim Jong-un.
Yeah.
Anyway, well, you look like a senator, actually.
All right.
Can you see him as a senator?
Yeah.
Have you played a senator?
I played a representative once,
so close.
Congress.
Congress, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You look good in a suit, too.
Yeah, well.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Thanks.
You don't think you do?
I don't wear one, no.
Do you look good?
Do you think you look good?
These are great questions.
I did not see these coming.
I did my preparation.
No, it's last night.
So, Rob, how'd it go?
Ah, I fucked it up, man.
He was hitting me with the suit question.
I didn't prep for it.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, your eyes.
You know what?
Can I just say something about your eyes?
Lay it on me.
Hit me.
I'll hit you.
Don't take offense.
Oh, I love it.
All right.
Because I'm fond of you.
Yeah, I get it.
All right.
So, when I create a character on, like,
if I'm in an open world game, right,
I always make them look like Rob.
I make the eyes a little closer together.
I don't know why I do that,
but, like, that thing that says,
you know what I mean, push it in,
I always push it in.
Because you have pushed in.
Yeah.
I'm obsessed with pushing.
So, what he likes,
he likes specifically half Asian girls
that are a little cross-eyed.
That's so specific.
It is specific.
I mean, that is really specific.
I enjoy it.
Yeah, I enjoy it.
I took a human sexuality class in college.
Teach me.
No big deal.
I don't want to brag.
Yeah.
But I do,
the only thing I took away from college,
basically,
was every human being has a,
what's called an attraction template.
Attraction template.
And it's all different for all of us.
And in your attraction template,
you like certain things.
You don't even realize it.
You don't even realize it
until you really do some self-analysis
and understand, like,
whether it's blonde hair,
blue eyes,
or, you know,
Asian or African American,
whatever it is.
Yeah.
But you,
and face structure,
and, you know,
whether it's a long face
or a rounder face.
I know what mine are.
So, you,
sounds like you're incredibly specific.
I'm very specific.
Yeah.
So, but at least you know
what your attraction template is.
And the thing is,
is whatever you,
is the most attractive,
that's the bullseye of this template.
Oh, shit.
And then you can go out from there.
Wait, how does it,
how is it formed?
Like, what,
what influence is it?
Is it, like,
things you watch?
I know mine are.
I think it's,
I think it's your first exposure
to,
probably, like,
television.
Your mother.
Yeah.
Probably has an influence on it.
Or your father
has an influence on it.
Because that's who you
first start to interact with.
Yeah.
And then you move on
to television stuff.
And then you,
it's one of those weird things
where you,
you just gravitate
towards something.
You don't know
what it is.
It's interesting
because his mom
is a little cross-eyed.
What's up?
What's up, Freud?
What's up?
So here,
can I?
So when he met me,
a little cross-eyed, he was like
ding, ding, ding. He was like, what's up,
girl? Yeah, yeah. See?
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
She's got googly eyes. Not googly, but
yeah. All right, so here's my
thing. Can I just say something? Because I put the
mic away because I didn't want to talk over
you guys because I got so excited about
it, you know?
So may I talk? Yeah. Okay, thank you.
Hi. Hi.
Put it on the table.
I will. I can take my time.
All right. Yeah, yeah.
There's two things, I think.
Number one, you're right.
My mom has the cross eyes.
And so that's it.
But here's another thing.
To me, as a kid, my parents had round faces.
And then I would look in the mirror and go, oh, my God, my face is a round.
I don't like round.
I mean, I like this style.
You like more.
Well, because I'm a big fan of Abraham Lincoln.
All right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
My favorite president.
Like a lot of Scandinavians have angular faces.
Yeah.
Like the high cheekbones and the skinny chins.
So I wanted to go opposite of my facial structure.
Cross-eyed.
What about the no titties?
Like if Rob was a woman, I'd be like, oh, my God, he's hot.
He's hot.
Look at me now.
Am I hot?
I just got half hard, actually.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What about the no titties thing?
Where does that come from?
No, wait a minute.
The no titties.
I need breasts.
No, you like kiwi, you said.
You get very fast.
No, they still have to be protruding out.
What are you talking about?
I don't want a flat chest.
I didn't know that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I thought you wanted just nipples.
The person I'm seeing now.
What, like a teenage boy?
No, no.
Oh, teenage boy.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
No, I like it protruding out, right?
I just don't like big breasts.
Okay.
Like voluptuous.
High-style projector.
I've had them.
Yeah.
Ooh-la-la, me likey.
Hey.
You know what I mean?
You know, it's like.
But it's not real.
What do you mean?
They're real.
I mean, they have boob lips.
They put plastic in there, so.
No, there's some women who are just chesty.
No, I'm saying, okay, there's two types.
Jaime, very good.
Let's encourage Jaime because I feel like he's drowning a little bit.
He's very nervous right now.
He is very nervous right now, so.
No, I'm not.
I know he's trying to throw you in your thing.
And so we want to encourage you.
Yeah.
So explain, please.
What about?
What?
Like boobs?
That is the topic.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That is the topic.
Because he likes kiwi nipples, right?
No, the whole breast is a kiwi.
Not the nipple size.
Not a kiwi nipple.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's too small.
So you want like perfect tits.
No, we're trying to explain to you what you were talking about.
I'm not opposed to that.
So you like perfect tits, man?
Perfect is subjective.
Like what's perfect to you is not perfect for Bobby, basically.
You're saying plastic versus real.
Well, not plastic.
It's whatever they put in those boob lips.
But sometimes people are born with big breasts.
Genetically.
Genetically.
I don't run into those people.
Really?
You haven't seen a real pair of naturals?
No.
Wow.
The last two were fake.
Whoa.
Okay.
Well, sorry.
Because she'll like stay stiff and shit.
What do you mean?
Like she was jumping around.
Like a 50s dance?
Yeah.
What's going on with the shoulder?
What do you mean?
She was doing the grasshopper?
Yeah.
Where were you?
The hotel room.
The 1920s?
This is the weirdest strip club in town.
It's like from the 50s.
You also get a milkshake.
That has a whole other meaning.
With the human sexuality thing, does that also apply with like women's taste in men?
Yes.
Women have attraction templates as well.
Are you sure?
Because my attraction template is like confused.
Okay.
So Kalilah and I.
We've dated, lived together for 10 years, dating.
Okay.
Right?
Okay.
So we start here, like cute Korean man.
I'm 5'3".
And what are the other types I've dated, Bobby?
You've dated, oh my God.
So the one that you're dating now, can I explain?
Yeah, you can explain.
He's 6'4".
No, he's not.
He's a little shorter than that.
6'2"?
Yeah.
Right.
How much does he weigh though?
250.
250.
So he's a linebacker.
He's huge.
I'll give you his comp.
That's his comp.
Okay.
Right?
Wow.
So she went from, you know,
I mean, minion.
Yeah.
To groove.
A yellow little minion, right?
To Jason Momoa.
But I will say that like.
Look at the difference.
Sexually, like.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't.
This is Kalilah's chart.
That's her.
Her traction template.
That's her attraction template.
Okay.
That's you, you.
You run the spectrum.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
And then she's also.
Also dated.
Can I explain?
Yeah.
Rugby players, right?
From Australia.
Footy, yeah.
What?
Yeah.
Yeah.
The athlete.
Athlete.
Spanish professional soccer player.
I have also dated a really short fat cholo.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Who was like my biggest like love.
All right.
You're, you're, you're confused.
You're confused.
You're all over the spectrum here.
But some women.
But there's nothing wrong with that.
Some women look at the attraction template with the personality traits.
That's big for me.
That's a.
Oh, that's interesting.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, but I think everybody in this room, like if you stopped and went, okay, there is a
certain type that you gravitate towards or that you always, if you see them, you're going
to do a double take.
Oh, yeah.
You know, and when you, even if, even if I don't know what it is, but you, you, you may
see something, you're like, oh yeah, that's, I want to look at her or I want to look at
him a little longer.
That probably is a good indicator of who is in your, what your attraction to the other.
I don't find where like you want to look at someone because they're obviously very, very
attractive, but you like standardly attractive, but you don't feel like sexually attracted
to them.
Or is that just a woman thing?
I think it's a woman.
That's definitely a woman.
I can look at someone and be like, wow, of course, like they're objectively attractive.
I can objectively look at someone and say that person is beautiful.
Yeah.
And I can do that about guys.
I can look at a guy and say that guy's handsome.
Right.
I can look at a guy and say, oh, my God, that's so beautiful.
Do you feel, but yeah, if it's a beautiful woman, it's, it's very rare that I go, oh,
isn't she just beautiful?
And then go about my grocery shopping.
Ooh, butter's on sale.
Yeah.
Oh, look, two for one.
No, it's, there's usually another thought attached to it.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Can I just say something else real quick?
What?
I just realized I like the, okay, so I like the cross-eyed thing, right?
But I also like the face.
I like the fish thing.
What's the fish thing?
Like the, if, like if the, the Michael Shannon.
Yes, he does.
Yeah, yeah.
If the, if the eyes are at the temples, right?
Brandy, Brandy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Wait, so you like them apart, but you said you liked them in.
Yeah, I just don't like them when they're normal, the normal spacing.
So you want some sort of variation.
Variation of the eyes.
Okay.
For some reason.
Eyes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Eyes are a big deal for you.
Yeah.
Well, noses too.
Noses too?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What kind of noses do I like?
Well, mine is pretty romantic.
That's crazy for me.
Yeah, so that, yeah, that I could do too.
He's doing a double take.
That's part of his attraction spectrum.
Double take right there.
Yeah.
That's a double take.
Yeah.
For you, that's a double take.
I have another thing.
Okay.
Can I just tell you about my templates?
Yeah.
Go ahead.
So the nose is, I like your type of nose.
Yeah, I'm Filipino, but this is not a Filipino nose.
I know, but I don't like buttons.
Come on, man.
What?
You have a good nose.
Yeah, yeah, that I could.
My girlfriend has the same nose.
Yeah.
All right.
So I like, you know, Abraham Lincoln-y.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then also, can I just say this?
Because since we're in this topic, Eric, am I too spazzy right now?
A little bit, yeah.
I know, because I just woke up and I downed a Red Bull.
I can tell you downed a Red Bull.
Because you go, Rob's here, and I just downed a Red Bull.
And I ran down the stairs.
And then I try to sit there and talk to him like, what are you doing?
I've never seen you sit so proper in the green room before.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because I'm not fully awake yet, and I'm overcompensated.
I'm going to have to drink some more.
I swear to God.
We were in the green room.
And he was so polite and so nice, but also so formal.
I was like, I'm doing the show, not interviewing.
Like for a job interview.
I've never seen him do that before.
I've never done that before.
Well, you're a gentleman.
Okay, so collusion.

them i'm probably going to turn out yeah yeah so i know i'm going to be five three
yeah you know what i mean it's pretty much that's the because my parents were below five three yeah
so me it's like if i can reach five three five four it's a miracle just before you started
puberty did you used to pray for height yes yeah you you well how tall is your dad i used to pray
for pubic hair oh no no i i was i was the late bloomer i was the last guy in my class to go
through puberty yeah all my friends were like what's up big bones structure i mean they're
turning into men and i was still a prepubescent boy yeah if you look forever and i was just
serious i was like let me go through puberty and then it finally happened and it came crashing in
15 wow that's pretty late yeah so you know the good thing was i learned uh because i was very
curious about all this and i was like why why is this happening to me why am i the last kid
in this entire
effing school to go through puberty last and they what i found was it meant that i was in a safe
home can you say something yeah did you ever go through a growth spurt where you're like can i say
what i'm gonna say yeah sorry after that i'm so hyperactive right now i'm just waiting yeah yeah
but i don't want to be rude because we have a guest and a very important guest so can i in
these times of openings right i need the opening yeah okay so thank you but i like to take my time
all right so i'd like to be rushed what's going on today

me too no rush okay you want to do go ahead go ahead bobby no hybie do yours do yours bobby okay
thank you you know i'm the i'm the this is my you know i'm the host yeah no yeah okay but i can agree
with him i can relate to him okay can they do your relation for a second well i did grow up in a safe
home too so i didn't get proven until like 17 17 you didn't get pubes till 17 yeah oh that's that's
super late because you now have the crown oh because that is super late and the first hairs
were in your face right no the mustache yeah you got a mustache rocking and everything yeah yeah
what's wrong that's awesome that's that's uh but that's late in the game so you had a very safe
home that's good my turn my turn that's off to your lay down lay down bobby come on everybody's
been cutting you off come on yeah yeah
yeah so um you know the joke i have right but you saw the joke right so on my special
i have a joke that i hadn't reached puberty i didn't reach puberty until i was 15 years old
but my dad saw me naked at 14 so for a whole year he told any stranger that he i hadn't reached
puberty yet so we'd be at the grocery store my dad was my son bobby no hair it's true yeah my
dad would say it you know i mean the mailman hi mr lee bobby no hair
i don't know he just would do it he would tell any stranger but now i'm going to give you the
punch line yeah because it's going to be my special but when i say the punch line in the
special it's fine don't give it away don't give it yeah i won't give it because i want to see
this special yeah okay give it away you're not gonna see it but anyway i will but here's the
thing i grew up in a hostile home so why is my puberty late i don't think it has anything to do
with hostility just that you're late i don't think it has anything to do with hostility just that you're
like asian like the hair growth is just unless you're filipino because filipinos like they're
born with mustaches could i tell you why what i know that because i was on the wrestling team in
high school poway high but our rivals panasquitas mount carmel was at the time 40 filipino yeah
so the whole wrestling team and i remember dreading fight um playing
mom carmel is because everyone we're kids yep all had full mustache yeah
yeah so i wrestled in my and at high school 135 and 138 depending on what 98 105 okay yeah yeah so
i the thing was though i was a terrible wrestler i didn't want to wrestle oh i broke my thumb playing
football the last uh game of the season so i couldn't try out for basketball but in my high
school if you wanted to play football you had to do three sports you had to do a sport every season
so i was like what am i gonna do for winter and they're like you're a wrestler now
so i went out there and i got my butt kicked
ever are they tight i got tied in pretzels these kids have been doing club wrestling yeah you know
and i remember i this is no joke i went to the mat one time at a meet and there was a from lawrence
high school this kid was just i mean he had these delts that went up to his ears and he looked like

supposed to be between like the ages of of 13
16 and 16?
Yeah, yeah.
And these are all probably like 18, 20-year-olds.
No, I think some of them were well into their 20s, Gil.
That's insane.
That's wild.
I think it's credible.
That's crazy.
I want to do a comedy about this exact story.
Actually, that would be a version of the Bad News Bears, but with these guys.
And all 30 of them are smoking and drinking at the clubs.
He's a machinist.
Yeah.
And the coach approaches him.
You look 14, right?
Rob wriggles.
Rob's the coach of the Filipino team.
Please, please.
He's going to play that guy?
Please let me do the manager.
Rob, you're going to play that guy.
Yeah.
All right.
The guy with his hands in his pocket?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That guy's shady.
Look at him.
He does other things on the side.
So many other things on the side.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's a black market pineapple dealer.
He's also a private investigator.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He also is a kindergarten school teacher.
Wow.
That's amazing.
The Philippines are rising.
We've always been.
Yeah.
I mean by that.
Congratulations.
I think you guys are rising.
No.
We're going through a revolution.
Really bad time right now.
What the fuck are you talking about?
I just feel like they're just in my mind a lot.
You feel like the Filipino people are ascending?
Yes, that is true.
Okay.
I think that there's a show.
There's a show.
Have I talked about Physical 100?
Yes, yes.
Yeah, but Physical Asia.
It's on Netflix.
You have to watch it, Rob.
All right.
It's a competition show.
I got to add that to the list, though.
Well, what have you been seeing lately that you like?
I don't know.
This is the thing.
It's changing so fast.
Yeah.
I sit down.
My girlfriend's like, you got to watch this.
You got to watch this.
And then friends tell me, have you seen this yet?
Have you seen this?
I'm going to throw some things at you that people are thinking.
Oh, Peripheral.
I just started watching Peripheral.
Peripheral.
What's that?
It's actually, it's kind of a sci-fi.
Pluribus?
Cool.
Is that the one on Apple?
Pluribus?
No, I think it's on Amazon.
Okay.
I don't want to, sorry if I'm wrong here, but it's called Peripheral, and I'm enjoying it.
I got to say, I'm like three episodes in.
I'm like, okay.
Okay.
All right.
You got me.
All right.
So.
Have you seen Pluribus?
There it is.
That's the one.
Oh.
Okay.
No.
Look up Pluribus.
Wait, like E. Elbrun Perpuribus or whatever?
What's that thing on the dollar bill?
You know what I'm talking about?
Underneath the, around the.
This one.
Is this good, Bobby?
I've seen it twice.
The first one.
The first two episodes.
It's.
I'd say it's the best pilot in a long time.
Yeah, yeah.
It's, it's the Breaking Bad people.
It's.
Oh, I like it already.
It's really good.
Vince Gilligan.
I like it.
See, that's the thing.
It's like the television's gotten so good.
Yes.
It's gotten so good.
There's so many great series.
Yeah.
I really, I sincerely can't keep up.
Yeah, me either.
Like, I haven't seen Task.
I was like, oh, it's Task.
I never saw that.
I'm so proud of that.
And I saw the rabbit one with, what's that one on Netflix with Jason Bateman?
Oh, Black.
Black Rabbit.
Oh.
I heard that's amazing.
Yeah, I heard that's amazing.
I never saw it.
Yeah, I haven't seen it yet.
How about movies?
Did you see Predator Badlands?
No.
Okay.
I haven't seen, I haven't seen Jack Squat.
And especially in the fall.
It's a good movie, Jack Squat.
Yeah.
Part two is great.
Yeah.
Jack Squat's about a young man who hasn't gone through puberty.
In the fall, I only have time, literally, for sports.
What do you mean?
I'm talking football.
College football, professional football, October baseball, basketball started, hockey's in full
swing.
It's just, if I sit, if I have time to sit down, I generally take in some sort of game.
And then, by the time I get to entertainment, I'm so fucking old.
Yeah.
I'm so fucking old that within 30 minutes, I'm asleep.
I'm asleep.
Yeah.
And it's embarrassing as shit, because then the next day, I have to start over.
I watch the same 30 minutes of every show, and then I'm asleep.
And then, I'm asleep.
Yeah.
So, I got a start earlier.
We're in our 50s now.
It cuts like a knife.
It cuts like a fucking butter knife, man.
Yeah.
I don't want to get specific with the knife, but my point is this, all right?
Like, see this right here?
Yeah.
Yeah.
My left ear hurts.
Really?
Just by doing this?
Raising your arm.
Just by doing that?
Just by doing this.
It's a circulation problem.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
It is?
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, can I?
I can't tell if that's real or not.
No, no.
It is.
Is it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like, different movements hurt different parts of the body.
Yeah.
Well, I was telling you in the green room.
Yeah.
I was in New York last week, and I stepped off the curb and pulled something in my hip
right here.
This little hip flexor right here.
Yeah.
And the rest of the day, I could barely get around the city.
Yeah.
I was limping like I'd been shot.
You hear a click, and you know your day's ruined.
Yeah.
I'm like, well, that's over.
And then it's a matter of, and then it's pain management, and how long is it going to last?
Yeah.
Because it's not a real injury.
It's just something you pulled or tweaked, and so then you're like, I guess I'm going
to live with this for three or four days?
Yeah.
It's fucking terrible.
I mean, so you're not there yet.
Oh, my body is destroyed.
I just had a baby.
Oh, right.
It's from top to bottom, destroyed, and Bell's palsy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's all fucked.
Yeah.
But the penis.
You had the Bells?
Yeah.
Did you have the Bells?
No, my mom did.
Oh.
And I remember, I felt so bad for her.
Did it go away completely for her?
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, it went away.
There you go.
Mine's not.
I know, but it's a thing, and it sucks, so I'm sorry.
Thank you.
Yeah, it sucks.
But it goes away eventually, no?
It does.
It's the weirdest disease or ailment, because it hits like a thunderbolt, and then it lingers,
and then, like Kaiser Sose.
Whoa.
Kaiser Sose.
Kaiser Sose.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What movie is that from?
Huh?
Kaiser Sose.
I like the huh.
That's a good stall.
That's a good stall.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Come on, try it.
You got this.
The Karate Kid?
Yeah.
Yeah.
That was Pat Morita's nickname.
Kaiser Sose.
Sensei Kaiser Sose.
Daniel Son.
Daniel Son.
Yes, Kaiser Sose.
Yeah, very good.
Yeah, yeah.
I wake up with back problems, too.
Yeah.
Okay, can we go back to Kaiser Sose?
I think that was a good deflection.
I'm going to go this way.
It was so good, though.
What I loved, Jaime, was the. That's a quote.
Quality mail stall tactic.
Huh?
Yeah.
Yes.
Huh?
Yeah.
Huh?
Huh?
Yeah, yeah.
And then that buys you an E
because they have to repeat it
and it gives you. Yeah, that's just. What about what?
Yeah.
What's better?
What or huh?
Huh?
What's dangerous, though,
if you have a partner?
All right, so ask me something
that I don't know.
Go ahead.
Have you seen my purse?
What?
You did it pleasantly.
You do it especially like a child.
What do you mean?
You did it like a minion.
Ask a more serious question.
You were so sweet.
So I'm seeing my purse
and you went. Okay.
I have to be doing. Wait, I have to be doing something.
Okay.
I have to be doing something.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're reading a cookbook.
Okay, here we go.
No, not a cookbook.
This is. I'm reading. The Bible.
No, no.
I don't want. Can I choose my own. Okay, okay.
Yeah, yeah.
Sun also rises.
Yeah.
Sun also rises by the way.
Oh, wow.
Hemingway.
Wow.
Oh, my God.
Heavy lifting.
Did you go wash those dishes
like I asked?
What?
Oh.
That's so soft serve.
You gave it. That's the sweetest thing
I've ever heard.
I'm trying to equate
the what to the huh.
All right, let me do it.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
What are you reading now?
This is. Bobby.
For who the bell tolls.
Good.
Good choice.
Okay, I got the question.
Yeah, yeah.
Happy anniversary?
Huh?
That's what it is.
That's what it is.
That's crazy
to say the happy anniversary.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right.
My wife. That hurt my feelings.
Yeah.
Oh, I thought the exercise
was not to hurt their feelings.
No, it's to stall for time.
I know, but. I know, but that time
that you stalled for. But now when I went. You fucked it up.
When I went aggressive, huh?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right?
By doing that. Argument.
Now she's on her heels
going, what the fuck?
Is it. What was the anniversary question?
What was it?
Just happy anniversary.
Yeah, happy anniversary.
I said happy. And then when I. Then, now she's on her heels
and I get time to think.
And I go,
oh, yeah, honey,
happy anniversary.
I was planning something special.
I don't want to give away
the surprise,
but I was planning something special.
You want me to tell you now?
And then she goes,
no, keep the surprise.
Oh, it's genius.
And then you scramble
like a madman
to get something planned quick.
Yeah.
Oh, I see.
Have you done that before?
Oh, please.
Oh, yeah.
I know.
I was seeing a girl, right?
And for like six months
she was dropping
what she wanted
and completely forgot.
Oh, yeah.
I went, right?
And then,
so I'll just tell you
what it was.
It was these specific books,
but like antique-y.
Okay.
You can't just go
to Barnes and Nobles.
Right, so these are like
special. Specialty books.
Like, are we talking
like ancient books?
Old books?
No, they're not.
What do you mean?
Like the Dead Sea Scrolls?
No, but like a hundred-year-old book
that's leather-bound.
No, like think about
a beloved series,
but just a very special edition.
Hardcover special edition.
Like an Easton Press type book?
Yeah, I don't know.
Like a grit. Shout out to Easton Press
and great books.
Like a grit spit never quit?
I know.
Oh!
I know.
We're not there yet?
Oh.
But that was a great segue.
I know.
It was a great segue.
It's on the shot.
Okay.
And we're going to talk
very in detail about it.
Do you want to do it now?
No.
It's your show, man.
I'm following your lead.
You're the guest.
I'll do whatever you want to do.
I'll follow your lead.
Okay.
Okay, well. It was a teaser.
It was just a teaser.
Yeah.
Very good.
He's just whetting the appetite.
I like that a lot.
I like that a lot.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I didn't even know
what I was saying.
The books.
The books for the girl.
Books for the girl.
Six months.
Oh, yeah.
I still don't know.
She was dropping hits on Anniversary.
Yeah, I know what it is.
And so, two, like, three days, then I find out, and I'm like, oh, my God, right?
And you're just calling bookstores and, like, you know.
Antique stores.
No, not antique stores, actually.
You said antique books.
No, but she just explained, like, limited edition, so they could be brand new.
Yeah.
Yeah, some know.
It's okay, Jaime.
I understand where you were going with this.
It's a logical leap.
I get it.
I get it.
So, yeah.
Did you get the books?
Yeah, I got them.
Oh, okay.
But then you're like, you know, first day delivery stuff, you know what I mean?
So you have to pay extra, which is fine, you know what I mean?
Yeah.
But, you know, I finally got it to her.
Nice.
And then one of them, I go, I ordered it, but, you know, there's some sort of
delay, you know what I mean?
So then, but I lied.
Now she can hear it, but I don't care.
But a week, so then a week later, they finally came.
But anyway, yeah.
I don't even know why we got into that.
Have you ever said, hey, what do you want for your birthday?
Or what do you want for Christmas?
Or what do you want for whatever?
And they hit you with something that's a little too pricey?
Oh, yeah.
And you go, oh, that's awesome.
That's cool.
Anything else?
Yeah.
Wait, wait, wait.
That's happened to you?
Yeah.
Oh, please.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, I mean, you just get pinched with, you get pinched with like watch requests or things
that I'm like, I'm like, God damn.
That's a Bobby.
I wouldn't even buy that for myself.
Yeah.
That's Bobby to a T.
If you ask him what he wants, he will tell you exactly what he wants.
And it's so expensive.
But you've done it.
I have done it.
But with tears in my eyes.
Yeah, yeah.
I guess, why not shoot for the works?
I'm still paying for it in after pay.
No, no, no.
Rob, Rob, don't ask then.
Don't ask.
Because if you ask, you shall receive.
Okay.
All right.
Yeah.
So what I'm saying is, is that if you're asking me specifically, what do you want?
I'm going to tell you what I want.
I need to take a lesson.
I do need to take a lesson.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because I've got this Midwest thing where, you know, someone said, hey, you know, if
my girlfriend has said, what do you want for your birthday or whatever?
I go, honey, whatever.
I don't need anything.
I'm good.
Whatever you want.
I trust you.
It's whatever you give me is going to be great.
That would literally be my answer.
But I need to start advocating.
I need to start advocating for myself.
And so I want a motherfucking Rolex now.
Not later.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But now, what you did wrong there.
Okay.
May I teach you?
Please.
Lay it down.
You taught me so many things.
Yeah.
This pod.
A pod.
Attraction.
But anyway, I know what you call it, but.
Attraction template.
Whatever.
So I want to give you a little advice, okay?
Lay it down.
I'm going to show it right here in front of you guys.

I'm telling you.
Hi, man.
What kind of wallet do you have?
I don't have a wallet.
Exactly.
So I'm going to give you a Ridge wallet.
Okay.
Right?
I really am.
All right?

So, I want to give you a little advice, okay?
Lay it down.
It's, um. Oh, fuck it.
What was my advice?
Oh, yeah.
I know what it is.
I know what it is.
It's like, um. If they ask you, right, what I want. I still don't go, like, because I still look at their, you know what I mean, finances.
So, if Jaime asks me what I want, in my mind. Not that you're not. Jaime, ask him.
Just see what happens.
What do you want for Christmas?
A bag of Doritos.
Huh?
Oh, huh.
He don't. He's stalling?
Yeah, yeah.
Stalling, stalling.
Nice.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because, you know, I don't think that he can afford, you know what I mean, the things
that she could probably afford.
I understand.
A bag of Doritos, though.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But if you, you know what I mean, if it's, like, Santino, for instance.
Okay.
Right?
Yeah.
He's so afraid to ask me because he knows he has to get it for me.
And I know what he can afford.
Right.
So, it's, like, higher.
So, you've got to put that in the equation.
All right.
Right?
So, let's say I'm your. Anyway.
I don't want to do another scene, but anyway.
But do you understand what I'm saying?
I do.
Yeah, that has to be in it.
You have to gauge who you're talking to.
Yeah.
So, when you're. You know, somebody that you're seeing, a girlfriend or whatever, and you ask them, right, what
they. They're probably looking at, oh, it's Ron Riggle.
So, I can go highball.
Oh, but. No, if you know me, you know you can't go highball.
What do you mean?
People always think there's a lot of cheddar.
There's not.
Yeah, because you have kids and, you know what I mean, you have a mortgage and all these
things.
Yeah, there's not that much. Not that much walking around.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm single.
Kind of.
So, you know, I am single.
I don't know what I am, but. Whoa.
You're in limbo.
I'm in limbo.
Yeah.
He's confused.
But I hear what you're saying.
I do hear what you're saying.
What'd you say?
Right?
What'd you say?
He's going the wrong way, right?
I didn't say that.
Huh?
Huh?
Now do it, huh?
Huh?
What?
Confused, right?
Why are you looking at me?
Why are you asking affirmation from everyone?
Somebody said confused out there one time.
So. Yeah, you said it.
Somebody said confused.
Yeah.
You said it, dude.
That was 45 seconds ago.
That was you.
Just back it up a couple seconds.
Confused.
You just said it.
Yeah.
What do you mean by confused?
Because you don't know what relationship you're in right now, right?
Or. Yeah.
Situationship.
Yeah.
Very good.
That's all I want.
That's a little explanation.
Limbo.
Limbo's good.
Yeah.
You said limbo.
No, I said limbo.
She said limbo.
Yeah.
And he agreed with limbo.
And then you said confused.
And he does not agree with that.
Isn't limbo and confused the same thing?
No.
No.
It's like the death, right?
Confused is confused.
When you're dead, you're in limbo.
You don't know what you want to do.
Limbo is when you're almost paralyzed.
You're frozen.
Yeah.
In between.
Is that how I would break it down?
You're in the gray space.
Well, because South Park, they had an episode.
Okay.
Anyway.
Break it down for me.
Rob wants to hear this.
So in South Park, there's an episode.
There's an episode where Michael Jackson is in limbo,
and he doesn't want to go to heaven or. Oh, that's like purgatory.
That's purgatory.
Oh, okay, okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's in limbo.
He's suspended in limbo, meaning he's not coming or going.
Oh, yeah.
Kind of limbo, like the indecision.
Yeah.
But purgatory is in between heaven and hell.
Okay.
Yeah.
Would you like to be in purgatory?
No, because I'll just accept that I'm dead, right?
Yeah, yeah.
I'm not going to lingo.
You'd be like that angry. You're not going to lingo?
You'd be like that angry spirit in the movie Ghost.
Oh, yeah.
Who taught Patrick Swayze how to flick a coin, you know?
Ah.
The angry guy who's. I love your references.
Yeah, he goes. They pushed me in front of the train.
Clearly, he jumped.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think that's the legend.
If you commit suicide, you're stuck in purgatory.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Isn't that the word on the street?
It is the word on the street.
You have really good movie references.
I think you and I. I keep it really fresh and young.
Because I do references about like. He does the same thing.
Yeah, I do the same thing.
You know, in Yo Himbo.
Of course.
Go on.
In the 12 Anger Man.
Yeah, like my references are so dated.
I should jack it up, right?
You know, in the movie Prey.
That's better.
Is that too old even?
But I think the older the movie,
the more people will generally understand.
Because there weren't not as many like hits back then.
Like you had time in between great movies.
Now it's like there's just too much.
It's too obscure.
Right.
Prey would be like, what?
Well, you also went to the movie theater.
Exactly.
I feel like it doesn't anymore.
I think all the great. There's a lot of great movies,
but it's all. You're watching it at home.
The shared experience of watching movies is kind of gone.
But Predator's Badlands, I went to the theater.
I went to watch it too.
What'd you think?
I don't know.
Oh, he's in limbo.
Really?
He's in limbo.
You're in limbo?
Yeah, I don't know.
Purgatory limbo.
I don't know.
What do you think?
Honestly.
I think you're in purgatory.
Oh, the movie.
Because it's always the same concept.
No, that's absolutely. I didn't expect that.
Okay, that's absolutely not true.
You don't think so?
No, no.
The son is always. There's always a winkling.
And he's got to prove to his dad.
I think it's a trope,
but I just think that here's. You're watching it.
What's the. How many Predator movies have you seen?
I'm not that deep into Predator.
Do you see the original?
Yes.
Okay.
That's the only one?
Pretty much.
Okay.
And it was probably in the theater
like a long time ago.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do you remember the concept of the movie?
Yeah, of course.
Okay, good.
Yeah, yeah.
I like when he rips spinal cords out.
Exactly.
Love that.
Very good.
Yeah.
Yeah, so I'm going to. Not that I'm that deep into the lore of Predator,
but I've seen a lot of the movies.
So generally,
the movies,
you don't know much about,
you know what I mean,
the yookja.
You see the movie?
Not yet.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The Predator.
Yeah.
You don't know much about them.
It's basically,
you know what I mean,
people being chased by the thing.
Right.
And you know all the things.
And he's a really good hunter.
Great hunter.
Yeah.
It's in the culture.
Right.
Right.
The cloaking.
Yeah.
And he comes to Earth to hunt.
It's his hunting ground.
And he enjoys it.
He's got stealth mode.
Yeah.
And he's a pretty bad dude.
So I'm going to give you some suggestions,
if I may.
Lay it down.
I've got to keep a list.
Before this.
Right.
So Prey,
it was a movie.
I think it's on Amazon.
No, it's on Hulu.
Hulu.
Yeah.
And it's when the Predators first came to Earth.
So it's native kids fighting the Predator,
which is amazing.
It's so good.
It's so good.
And it's the same director.
Oh.
Predator Badlands.
Yeah.
Right.
Trachtenberg, right?
Is his name?
Dan Trachtenberg?
Trachtenberg.
Yeah.
This guy is an incredible director.
Right.
So he did the movie called Prey.
I would highly recommend you watch it.
So the Predators come back.
Yeah.
And they're hunting like native,
meaning like Native American,
like Indian.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
American Native people.
American Native.
Yeah.
I don't even know.
Call them in prehistoric times.
Is it prehistoric?
Is it set in prehistoric times?
No, no, no.
I'm talking about.
It's a prequel.
It's a prequel.
So it's like 1700, 1800.
It's old, old.
It's pretty old.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
And so great movie.
Okay.
But Predator Badlands is from the perspective of them.
Okay.
So he's the anti,
I don't even call anti-hero.
He's the hero.
Protagonist.
Protagonist.
Right?
And so it shows his relationship with his family.
Yeah.
Right?
Oh.
What?
That's interesting.
It's interesting.
And he has to do something for his family
to get back into the family.
Right.
It's pretty much the premise of the movie.
That's cool.
Yeah, yeah.
And it's really cool
because you don't know the culture of them.
You don't know the family dynamics.
You never knew in the past, right?
And you get insight
into why they are the way they are, I think.
Is there any dialogue?
There is.
Yes.
How's it working?
The Yukja speak.
There it is.
Yeah, that's the language.
And there's always.
I forget.
It's like a drunk Klingon.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You Star Trek fan?
I mean, I don't say no.
But you never say yes.
I say yes.
I say yes.
Okay.
So yeah, the Yukja.
And then Ellie Fanning plays an android.
From a big corporation from Earth.
And it's an adventure between this little Yukja predator.
He's actually pretty big.
But in his family, he's the smallest.
He's the runt.
Okay.
And this android who's split in half.
And they run into another creature that follows them around.
I think it's a really, really good movie.
Good.
I can't wait to see it.
You're turning me on to it.
Yeah.
Did I just convince you that it was good?
I didn't say it was bad.
You had a tone, Jaime.
Oh, no.
Thank you.
Thank you.
No, you can make fun of him.
No.
Yes, you can.
No, I can't.
No, you can't.
You just gotta learn this guy.
I didn't say, like, I liked it.
I enjoyed it.
Yeah.
It was fun.
It was fun.
Yeah.
Especially that little creature.
Yeah.
That's what I just said.
That was a comic.
Well, you know, sometimes, as of recently, I have not, and when I say recently, I mean
like the last 10 years, I haven't really dove into sci-fi or anything.
I've been more focused on, like, dramatic.
War movies.
And comedic.
Oh, comedic.
Those are the two things that I really love.
But watching this peripheral stuff kind of lit my fuse again on the sci-fi thing, if
it's somewhat grounded.
And your pitch just now on Predator kind of whetted my eyes.
It just whetted my appetite for it.
So I might have to check it out.
Yeah.
Well, it's not grounded in any kind of reality.
What?
What I'm saying.
You lost it.
What I'm saying, it still has, you know what I mean?
Fuck it.
Fuck it.
These devices that are very sci-fi.
These.
Okay.
See, you can't watch, like, if there was a movie about Klingons, you know what I mean?
I could totally.
I could totally.
You could do it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I enjoy that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I enjoy the adventure of it.
Yeah.
I need a good one.
Mm.
Bad ones are really hard to watch.
Oh, yeah.
Of course they are.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The bad.
Yes, Jaime?
Nothing.
I was just burping.
Oh, okay.
You don't have to reveal that.
That's crazy.
All right.
So you wrote a book.
Hey.
Can I grab the book?
Yeah, I did.
Ooh.
Ooh.
Nice catch.
Rob Riggle, Grit, Spit, and Never Quit.
I love that cover.
A Marine's Guide to Comedy and Life.
So this is a life story.
This is a memoir.
A memoir, I mean.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
That's you in the military.
Yeah.
Looks good.
As a Marine.
I was sailing to Liberia.
My God.
To evacuate the embassy there.
Oh, damn.
Wow.
May I ask you a question about it?
Yes.
At that time, how old are you?
That, I am 25.
25.
Whoa.
Were you doing any sort of comedy then?
None.
No comedy?
None.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I just knew I loved it.
You loved comedy.
I was a fan of comedy.
And did any of your comrades, is that what you call them?
Yeah.
Marines.
Yeah.
Fellow Marines.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Comrades are very communistic.
Oh, communists are very communistic.
Yeah.
I lean communists.
Go Zoran.
But anyway.
But anyway, so any of your comrades, did they ever go, hey, Rob, you should do comedy?
Yeah.
A couple of them did.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, I, you know what it's like when you're in a family.
A friend group, you know, you crack wise, you have fun, you do impersonations, you do
bits, you do things.
Yeah.
And yeah, people would say, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're funny.
You ought to do that.
Wow.
And so at any point in this Marine journey, you know, did you, in your mind, you were
like, I'm going to do it one day?
Or was that all you do know?
Yeah.
So it's weird is, so I was, when I was in college, I was a theater and film major.
And I, I, I, I was a fan of comedy.
I just loved it.
I could quote almost every comedy from the eighties chapter and verse movie was, you
know, um, what's that young Frankenstein?
Do you like that movie?
Oh my God.
It's like one of the best.
It's one of the best.
Um, but also all the comedies from the eighties stripes, uh, loved them.
Meatballs.
Oh my God.
Um, ghostbusters, three amigos.
I mean, just go down the list of all the great comedies from the eighties and nineties.
And I loved them all, but, um, I just didn't think it was real.
I just didn't think it was like tangible.
Yeah.
I was like, I was, I went to the university of Kansas.
I'm a kid from the Midwest.
I knew nobody in show business.
I didn't even know what to begin.
I just knew what I liked.
Right.
Yeah.
I remember when I was a kid, I saw Eddie Murphy delirious and thought it was one of the greatest
things I ever saw.
Right.
And I was like the next day at school, I was quoting it, you know, for the other kids in
the class.
And I just loved that.
I've seen anything like it back then.
Right.
And so I, but I didn't know, there was no link to how to get there.
And so, uh, when I graduated college, I had my pilot's license.
And I, and, uh, so I, I got a guaranteed flight contract with the Marine Corps and
I thought, well, as a theater film major, I'm going to be a waiter or I'm going to be
top gun.
I thought top gun sounded better.
Yeah.
So that's what I did.
I went to a flight school and, and, uh, was working my way through it.
But when I realized, um, once I pinned my wings on, uh, they got me for eight years
from the time you pin them on.
So I would have been in for almost two and a half years at that point.
It would have been 10 and a half years.
I'm in, I would only have nine years.
more years to retirement. So then I was
like shit i might as well stay i wouldn't be getting out is what i'm saying wow so then i
said well i think there was something inside me i had a friend of mine who went to chicago and was
doing stuff at um at the improv olympic and second city up there and he was like rick oh this is what
we did in college he goes uh it's called improv it has a name and and you're better at it than
most of these people i'm telling you should do this it's called it has a name yeah yeah to us
it was just a big fuck around yeah yeah but it had a name it's called improv so so he he got in
my ear at the right time and uh i remember i was i was down in flight school in corpus christi texas
naval air station corpus christi texas and um i had just finished primary and intermediate and i
got helicopters and i was going back to pensacola and i was going to start doing that and uh um i
i decided that i if i switched to the ground side became a ground officer i would know
longer have to that that long of a commitment and i could actually go move to chicago and study
second city and and try this thing so i finally kind of got the cojones to do it i don't know why
i had never been on stage i'd never done anything but i i went to the beach and i had a book i was
reading and i wrote in the back of the book if i quit flight school it's got to count it's got to
matter so what am i going to do so number one i wrote i'm going to get on saturday night live
and that was in september of 94
and in september of 2004 almost to the day i got a call from lauren michaels asking me to join
saturday night live so it was a long long time i mean and in that 10 years i had to get myself
from corpus to to north carolina i had to go finish up my my time on the ground side north
carolina i got to new york somehow um that's a whole nother story you can read about in the book
then uh then i joined the ucb i tried stand-up first uh in new york and i
fucking hated it i sucked it was terrible it was the most scary thing i've ever done in my life
yeah you know and then found ucb and worked my way through that for about seven years and then i got
uh a break the first job i ever got was saturday night live my god were you nervous terrified yeah
yeah terrified i mean i was so green to show business i didn't know how anything worked
yeah and i just assumed it was like the marines everybody's honest everybody does their job
if they say they're going to do something they're going to do it you can count you know if somebody
gives you the word it's going to happen i had a lot to learn yeah i mean a lot to learn when i got

At the end of the year, I found out. And I auditioned for Mad, too.
Oh, did you really?
Yeah, I did.
It would have been amazing if you were on it.
But I found out at the end of my first year, I cried over this.
I found a tape of all my. They recorded all my table reads because I was so bad.
And they would laugh about it behind my back.
Oh, that's terrible.
Yeah, yeah.
That was my. And I was. It was bad.
I couldn't. Well, we all are in the beginning.
I couldn't even read.
I was so nervous.
I couldn't even get through a sentence without stuttering or fucking up a word.
I remember one time a word was shitake.
I said, shitake.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, I mispronounced words at table reads.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's the worst.
And I felt like I was drowning every week.
And I was like. It got to the point where I was like, please fire me.
Because I. I couldn't sleep.
Yeah.
The nerve. It is a shocking. It's shocking to the system.
Yeah.
And for me, I mean, I was still. I had been doing stuff on stage at the UCB for many years.
Yeah.
But I had never been that. I hadn't been in the front of the camera that often.
And then live TV, live to live, where you're reading off cue cards,
and you only see one cue card at a time, you know.
And the way it works on SNL is the host is always in black.
And then everybody else has a color code.
So, like, if. Tina and Amy and I were in a scene, Tina would have brown ink.
Amy might have blue, and I would have green.
Wow.
And you're color-coded, right?
So, I would be looking for green.
And they would change the dialogue.
They would change because, you know, the band went too long,
so we had to make cuts.
It's on the card.
Oh, my God.
And then you're going live.
Oh, my God.
And you're going live, and then all of a sudden,
you're reading the card, and you keep looking to see what they cut,
and then they reveal it, and you're like, oh, that's me.
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba.
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba--
But Horatio says. I love Horatio.
So, I sat next to. I'll tell a little story here.
I sat next to Horatio at the table reads, right?
Yeah.
Horatio was hilarious, because the year I joined, I was the only guy hired.
Wow.
I was the only guy in that freshman class.
I passed a 15.
Who were the ladies that were hired?
Nobody was hired.
You were the only one hired?
Only guy hired.
Wow.
So, I sat next to Horatio at the table read, and I would get nervous, you know, because
I'd know, oh, this sketch is coming up, or one that I wrote is coming up, or, oh, God,
you know.
So, he could tell, like, I would be fine, and then he could see that I'd turn into a
ball of nerves.
And he's a fantastic guy.
He's a fantastic artist.
I love him.
And he would draw me.
He could draw a really good me with, like, big eyebrows and stuff, but he would draw
these hilarious pictures, and I wouldn't see it, because in my own head, I'd be trying
to pre-read sketches and stuff, and all this stuff, and he was as cool as a cucumber, because
he was like, whatever.
But right before I'd get ready to read, he would just take it and slide it over to me,
and it would always be me getting fucked by an alien.
And it would be, like, this big alien dick going through the back of, in my mouth, and
out the back of my hand, or whatever, and the head would be exploding.
Yeah, wah-wah.
And it would be the most, but it was so graphic and so well-drawn that I would see it, I would
fucking die laughing every time, because he found new ways to just do that shit.
And he did it to make you calm?
I think, yes.
He was doing it to calm me down and get me relaxed.
Yeah.
And it always made me laugh.
It always put me in a good place, you know.
Yeah.
And so, I'm always ready.
I'm always very grateful to Horatio.
He was a good man.
He is a good man.
I find that there's two types of people.
People like us, but then there's the other guy who's so confident.
They just show up, even new people, and they just do it.
I don't know if that comes from super confidence in their abilities, or just an ignorant bliss.
Ah.
Yeah, because I think, like, delusion does take you really far.
Uh-huh.
It can.
Yeah.
I've seen guys that are out there, and they're just big dick energy.
Really?
Yeah.
You know, okay, I guess.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But, you know, if they do it.
We have little dick energy.
If they do it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But if they do it right, they can get you to buy into it.
You know, you're kind of like, I guess I'll go with this guy.
Yeah.
But what is that?
They're both.
- You weren't born with it?
- No, we were beaten.
- Oh, that's right, by our parents.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember, I remember.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we were beaten.
- We weren't allowed to just be.
- Yeah.
So do you think that if I wasn't beaten
and molested and stuff, right?
- Yes, the answer is yes.
- And pounded and pounded, you know what I mean?
Anyway, that I would be,
do you think I would get into,
I would have gotten into comedy?
- You'd have a little bit more audacity.
You'd have a little bit more self-belief, I think.
- Yeah, I have no belief.
- That gets beaten out of you, that self-belief.
- You have enough belief.
You've made it this far pretty well.
So you got something inside you.
- He beats himself up more than anyone I've ever met.
- But I do it in spite of.
Here's the thing, I go through all the fears
and the anxiety and the fucking self-abuse.
- Right, but you still got enough--
- But I still will show up.
- But you still got,
but that's the thing, though, you still got enough moxie
to go the last mile.
- Yeah.
- That last 10 feet.
- Yeah.
- Meaning from the wings to the microphone.
- Yeah.
- That last 10 feet, it's the lonely walk of a comedian.
- Yeah.
- And not many people make it,
where you go from offstage to the center
where you grab the mic.
- Yeah.
- That last 10 feet, that's the courage walk right there.
- Yeah.
- And you got it.
So you can beat yourself up, you can be insecure,
that's probably what makes for good comedians,
is all of those phobias, all those fears,
all those anxieties, 'cause everybody has 'em.
But if you complete the walk,
if you take all that and still finish
and get from the wing to the mic,
you deserve to be there.
- Yeah, that's the, I agree,
and I think that that's the,
people go, "God, you're talented," or these things,
and that might be true,
but although I even doubt that sometimes,
but yeah, but the one thing that I've always done
is I'll make that walk.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Here's how I look at my life.
Okay, especially stand-up and stuff.
People will go, "How was that show last night?"
"You mean the war?"
I don't view it as a show.
You remember?
- It's a combat sport for you.
- Yeah, yeah, to me, it's a war.
And he's been backstage.
- His green rooms are not enjoyable.
It's not the, you see on TV, "Oh, we're kicking it."
It's like him stressed out about himself.
- You know, you see the sun bear at the San Diego Zoo
just doing sad little circles, pacing around because--
- Oh, it's him.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's just, he's not where he's supposed to be.
That's Bobby, just sweating, cursing at everyone.
- I don't curse at people.
What you talking about, Willis?
- But I do hear this, all right?
I hear what you're saying.
- What you talking about, Willis?
- One of the things I used to do when I was doing stand-up
was I learned all about physiology, the physical body.
- Here we go, I love the science.
- And you gotta move your body.
You get that, one, it gets the anxiety out of your body.
- God, I love it.
- And so, and also, it gets your,
your mind-body connection going.
So I would walk, and I would do a,
intentionally, I would do a goofy walk,
where I would, you know, walk like this,
and I would take big strides,
and I would pound my feet, and I would flex,
you know, I would do all this weird-looking shit.
Like, if someone saw me, they'd be like,
"What the fuck is this guy's problem?"
But it got all of that shit out of me,
and so by the time I got to the stage,
I was feeling connected, I was feeling good.
I didn't have the shaky hands, like, it was all good.
- That's what I was,
that's what I've been doing.
- Yeah.
- Do I not do that?
- Oh, yeah.
- It works.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- It really works, it's a good technique.
- Yeah.
- And I think highly of it.
But you shouldn't beat yourself up.
I mean, that's easier said than done.
- It's not.
- But, oh, I know what I was gonna say.
So, you go through this hell, pre-show hell.
You get on stage, and you do your stuff, right?
And it fucking kills, right?
That's, that's the juice, right?
That's what keeps you, that's what sets,
that's what allows you to come back
the next night.
Because if you went out there and ate shit,
and everybody said, "Fuck you, stop, I hate you."
Okay, then you, it would be a matter of time,
you wouldn't be coming back anymore.
- Yeah.
- But they love you.
And so, you get that, when you get that,
that's what allows you to overcome, I think, right?
- Yeah, but also, here's another thing, Rob,
if I may interject.
- Please.
- Is that my comrade.
- Oh.
- Just go with friend.
- Buddy, pal.
- Yeah, is even if it's not going well on there,
which is, you know, there's been,
remember, like, the first shows in San Francisco were tough.
I mean, tough, the toughest I've seen.
- No one starts out killing it, I don't think.
You all have to, everybody.
- This is two weeks ago.
- Go on.
- 30 years into my career.
- This is nothing, this is two weeks ago.
'Cause I did a Tuesday, Wednesday.
- But you were prepping for a special.
- Yeah, right? - Okay.
- That's totally different.
- There was some stuff that I had to put in there.
- But even when it was tough, and I was like,
oh, this is a tough room, I think I've,
'cause 20 years ago, if they were tough,
I would be dying on the inside.
Like, it would be like, I gotta do something to change this.
And I've shifted into, oh, I don't care.
- You can breathe in the uncomfortable.
- It's weird.
- No, it's not weird.
- I don't know what happened.
- It's an awesome sign.
For you, as a performer, it means you're maturing,
and you're getting into that space
that takes forever to get to.
It's a great thing.
- But it took me 30 years to get there.
- Yeah, sometimes it takes that long.
There was a time when, in improv or in an acting scene,
if there was silence, I could feel the flush.
I could feel the rush, and I've learned how to live in it now.
Where I let it breathe, I let it take its course,
I don't panic anymore.
- Yeah.
- And in those moments, you find gold, and magic,
and all kinds of wonderful things.
- Yeah.
- But, ooh, you think it didn't take a decade and a half
or two decades to get over that?
- Yeah.
- No, it took a long time to get there.
- Or when I used to do a scene in a movie or whatever,
and in my peripheral, I'll see Video Village, right?
So I'll do the line that I thought was gonna be--
- You're checking in with them.
- Yeah, but in private, I can see them.
And so I'll do the line that I think
is gonna be the funny line, and I'll say it.
And in my peripheral, I'll see people go,
"You know what I mean?"
And I used to fuck me up.
But now, in that scenario, it's like, "Oh, okay."
- Yeah.
- They'll give me a note.
- Exactly, they'll tell me if we need to do it again.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- I have a question about that decision,
that moment when you decided,
"Okay, I can either become a pilot,
"have this great career, live in the safety of this career,
"to, you know what, I'm gonna take this big leap into
"the completely other side of this,"
which is not just any old career.
It's entertainment.
It's like--
- It's a life in the arts.
I don't know if there's a one silver bullet answer to this,
but I think it was,
there was something inside me that just believed I could.
It was a belief.
And then when my friend kinda confirmed it for me,
it was like, "I'm telling you, you gotta get up here.
"This is what we did in college.
"You're better than most of them."
I was like, "I'm telling you, this is what we did in college.
They hated me. I hated me. So I thought they hated me more. And the truth was they laughed.
There were some laughs. There were some, if I had even heard the audience, I might've let it breathe.
I might've let the laughter roll a little bit, but I didn't cause I didn't hear them. I had five
minutes to do, I was getting through it and then I was fucking off. That was it. And, and so I
thought I made a huge mistake. Cause when I, when I was like, I never want to do that again.
I hated it so much. And I gave away a pretty good career as a pilot. And now I'm now I know what was
I thinking, you know, like I committed to this life without really knowing shit about it. I just
had this feeling inside that it's something I wanted to do. So anyway, I ended up finding the
UCB shortly after, after that. And, and that helped me a ton because that fit more into what I needed
to do. It got me on stage performing. It got me, it got me to a place where, okay, I felt like I
could do this. And then I got a break eventually, you know, and I got some opportunities and then
it was, it wasn't until I was on the daily show that I went back to stand up and tried it again.
But this time I had more confidence from being on stage. I knew how to write a little bit better.
I understood what works and what doesn't with audiences. And you just,
did you have fun? Why? Cause you were, you started, I remember doing dates and having you,
seeing you upcoming at these places. Did you at that point, since you had an hour, have fun with
it? Yes. Yeah. And I give John Oliver a lot of credit because I shared an office with John at
the daily show and I used to make him come down to the UCB and do monologues for the ass cat show.
Wow. And, and he's, you know, there's nothing you can do to prep for that. He's just, you know,
you get a suggestion from the audience and then you as the monologist tell a story based on that.
And he's a funny enough guy and creative enough that he could tell a story.
And so he would tell these great stories. We'd do scenes based on that. Well, then he was like,
all right, now you need to come with me cause we're going to do standup. And I was like,
I don't know, man. You know, I don't, I don't have, I don't have shit and I don't,
I don't know. And he wouldn't take no for an answer. And, and so we were, we were both,
you know, um, we had time on our hands cause I, I was living in New York by myself at the time.
And so was he. So we'd get off work at five and we would jump into a cab. And this is what
beautiful thing about New York city. I would jump into a cab with him right after work and we'd go
down to the piano room, the slipper room, UCB, standup New York. Uh, you know, there, there was
at least five to 10 mics a night that you could hit. And so we would take a cab down to the first
one. And I remember on the first, on the way down, he goes, cause he told me that day we were doing
it. So when I got in the cab, he's like, you got anything? I go, no. He goes, ah, he goes,
he got one story. One, give me one story. I go, well, this happened today. And he goes,
fine. Well, I can tell that. So I got up the first place we went. It was a three minute story
at best. I just told it like it happened and it got some laughs and that was bad. I just did three
minutes and I got some laughs. We got jumped in the cab. We were off to the next place. He goes,
that was a good story. He goes, all right. Do you remember where they laughed? I go, yeah. He goes,
okay, good. Uh, keep those things. Do you remember where they didn't laugh? And I was like, yeah,
he goes, cut those things. And then he was like, he's like, uh, and, uh, and think of ways to
embellish it. And I was like, okay. So we got to the next place. And he goes, okay, so we got to
the next place. I did that. I did. We'd hit like four or five places that night. Wow. And by the
fifth place, I had like two minutes of pretty good stuff. So, so basically,
but I was like, all right, so this is how we're going to do it. So I would just kept building
off of stories and seeing what worked and what didn't. But New York, I do think is a great place
if you're going to go build a set because you can get so many, so many mics. LA is tough, you know,
to get that time to build a set. Yeah. Um, and then,
yeah.
Then it was fun. Then it was a totally different ball game. Then I enjoyed standup. Yeah. I really
did. Cause I enjoyed the art of crafting it. Rob, I want to say something. Okay. Um, cause I knew
you haven't done it in 10 years. Yeah. Right. Yeah. So I have these new joke nights at the
comedy store. Okay. Right. And I go up with a piece of paper and it's sometimes they're rough.
Yeah. Okay. If you ever want to try, you can do the show. Thank you. I pack it out. Yeah. In the
belly room. So it's like 75 people. The comedy store intimidates me.
I'll be honest. It does. It's the culture is completely changed. I performed there once,
maybe twice. And it was, it was one of those where they, they don't turn the audience over.
Yeah. You know, that one room, they don't turn the audience over. So by the time I got up there,
whatever it was, midnight, everybody was exhausted. Rob, the club has completely changed in culture.
Oh, good. Right. And is that a good thing or it's a great thing. Okay. Yeah. It's packed
there every night. Oh, good. Right. Um, you're Rob Riggle, right? You're not, I'm just saying that
even if.
Okay.
Um, we had, um, a Greg O'Grope produced show, right? That's he sells at the main room. I could
even go, he can Rob do five minutes and you'd be able to do five wherever you wanted to go up
in front of a great packed room. Right. The culture is completely changed.
It is tempting.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's very tempting.
Let me just think about it. I don't want to force it.
No, no, no. It's always on my mind. It really is.
Can we go more back into the book?
Yeah.
All right. So where can, what else? So, so all the things that you talked about, like your
military.
We stopped going into comedy. Oh, that's all in here.
It covers a lot. It covers a lot of ground. It covers a little bit of some fun, hopefully
fun childhood stories. Cause it's a memoir. It's like a motivational memoir. What I'm
hoping is that if people read it, whatever journey they're on, they'll be able to take
some lessons that I learned the hard way and apply it to their life and hopefully it helps
them. So it's kind of a motivational memoir. Um, there's a lot of stuff in there about
childhood and, and overcoming some things. And then there's some things, uh, uh, uh,
military, uh, you know, deployments to, uh, Liberia serving in Afghanistan nine 11. I
was down at the rebel piles working on nine 11. But, uh, yeah. And then there's, uh, you
know, stories about Saturday night live and the day and films and, and just hopefully
again, like life lessons that I hope people can, uh, use in their life. So have you felt
the, um, cause obviously I felt the shift in Hollywood and all that stuff. Have you
felt it when you say shift?
The business model, the paradigms are shattered, shattered, shattered compared to when we started.
When we started in this business, there was an ecosystem and you kind of knew where you
lived and where you got your money and where money came from and how you got work. And
there was this whole ecosystem that was set up and, and it worked. It worked. You know,
if you, you could, you knew what pilot season was, you knew where, you know, you know, none
of this exists.
Yeah.
All these paradigms of the past have been shattered and it's just wreckage and everybody's
just grabbing for whatever they can get. And it's, it there's good and there's bad to it.
One of the good things that came from this new paradigm is there is no more silos as
far as work, meaning George Clooney, the biggest, you know, box office draw for X, whatever
he was doing coffee commercials. Okay.
Yeah.
Those two worlds would never meet, you know, you were commercial television or film. Yeah.
And you, and you stayed in your silo. Now you go from television to film, film, the
TV back to commercial back to this. It's so that's kind of nice. That's a positive that
came out of it. But then the downside,
I don't think that they would feel that way.
Who's they?
The big stars.
They get paid huge money. I mean, if you watch Steve Carell and, and, uh, John, they're making
these coffee commercials.
Yeah.
I mean, artistically, they're not fulfilled. I don't think.
Well, it's not about fulfillment. That's about paying off the lake.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah. That's about that.
Everyone needs a lake house anyway.
Yeah.
And a speed boat.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
In your own house.
Obviously.
Yeah.
Everybody needs a cigarette boat. You're going to be in Hollywood.
Uh, but yeah, so at the paradigms have been shattered and that part, what's the negative?
The negative is you don't know, like we don't do auditions anymore. Like I used to be able
to go into a room and audition for a casting director. The actual cast. The casting director,
actual director, actual producers talk to them, get to know them, you know, give them
a little pitch, give them a little, a little show beyond the dialogue. Then I'd read for
them. I could do it once or twice in front of them and they'd say, great, thanks for
coming in. And I'd get it or I wouldn't get it or whatever, but you got a sense of it
in the moment. Now it's send us a tape, send us a tape, send us a tape. Well, I go to my
garage. I read with a neighbor if I'm lucky, you know, read with, you know, it's so hard
to, to put this thing together. No feedback. Some people are like putting like they got
lighting packages and stuff. I got my garage. Yeah, me too. That's it. And I do it in here.
I have to put it on a tripod and like try to do it myself. Of course my tapes look like
shit, you know? And so that part has changed, you know? And so there's the, it feels like
the, there's all this work, but yet the opportunities seem more limited in a weird, bizarre way.
And then when you do, you have to go. Nope. Um, I, when you do get a job, it's like, how
much is that? $2.
That's another thing. Yeah. There's $2. There's 200, there's 255 channels. Yeah. And so obviously
the price is diluted. Yeah. You know, so that, that with that you get more selection, but
for us, you know, it gets more diluted, but I also would think there's more work because
there's 250 channels and it doesn't seem like there is, yeah, there isn't, there isn't,
it doesn't feel like it doesn't. Yeah. And then of course the reality of show business,
the reality of show business, which nobody ever wants to talk about because everybody
wants to claim whatever.
But let's be real. It's like Shakespeare said, you, everybody's a player and you have your
time on the stage and then it goes away. You know, you can't stay on the stage forever.
If you're lucky and blessed, you get to have a 20, 30, 30 year career.
again um your time on the stage is limited limited but it's true like i read this thing
not for ken jung yeah forever forever but i did i did read about eddie murphy today and he was
talking about his 50-year career yeah but again these are like a handful of people yeah yeah they
get to have that so the fact that you and i have been able to do what we've been able to do for as
long as we is a blessing beyond blessings it's such a gift the thing for us to do now
is to realize okay maybe i'm not in front of the camera as much as i used to be
but that means with all the experience that we have in front of the camera working with actors
shots comedy writing you know okay maybe we should produce more maybe we should direct more
or be in service and help other people exactly exactly um so anyway but yes right now our
business is a blessing beyond blessings it's such a gift the thing for us to do now is to realize
business is cattywampus it's all yeah dicked up it's cat yeah cat's cat and it's gonna get even
more scarier because um what's that guy who played him the the butler in the dark knight
oh michael kane yeah he signed his life not a lot his likeness his likeness like likeness not
