Stavvy's World #164 - Robby Hoffman | Full Episode

Oh there it is. Welcome everybody to Stabby's World. 904-800-STOP. Call in. We'll
solve all your problems. We have on the couch Robbie Hoffman. Thanks for being
here Robbie. Thanks for having me. You know, it's always, always you walk in
and it's like, I've been to so many, you see the guy getting ready. Sure. It's
always like the producer of a podcast is like shocked that they have to record
a podcast. It's like somebody woke eldest up in the middle of the night.
And it's like a scared straight program. But that's actually, that's actually
how they do it everywhere. Like actually, if they were just ready when you
walked in, like for some reason, I think the industry would fall apart. Like
they need to, they need us to watch them do their job. Sure. Like, because if
we, if we came in and it was already set up, we would think he did nothing. But
because we saw him click, click, click, click, click, he did that. He turned on
a light. He put his own headphones on.
There's, there's a lot of disgusting stuff going on behind the cameras. You
guys don't need to know anything about, you know, it's the theater of
performance for all this. And mind you, we did a podcast moments before you got
here. So it's not like he had to set up anything, but it was the, he had to refocus.
I didn't change. Why did my camera need to be refocused?
I just like to go for those who don't know what's going on. There's a camera on
a tripod. And what they do is they just do that.
You do a little tinkering.
They turn off and on again. And it all takes 10, 12 minutes.
It takes too long. Absolutely.
It takes, and you're just sitting here. We don't know each other.
We don't know each other.
Yes, we can get here. We can talk shit. We could talk smack, but we don't know
each other like that. In fact, I've, this, and I haven't said this, I've been
begging to get on your podcast.
Wow. There's no other podcast I wanted to, because I feel, and I'm so, I said,
he'll never have me on because I think we had, we had a weird interaction
because I'm always weird. I can't be chill.
I don't remember this. So that's a good, Oh, this is good. Yeah. I have no
chill. You know, people say like, no chill, like just, you know, I've had
friends all the time. Like you have to chill. I just, for some reason, I have
no chill. And it's despite having no chill that I got here. It took me a lot
longer than somebody who had no chill.
Right. And I recognize I got in my own way in that.
You think so?
Oh yeah.
I don't think you did, but what are you describing? When did we meet?
I think because, um, Friedland's a good friend of mine, Adam.
Okay. Strike one.
Yeah. Strike one.
Strike one.
So exactly. Strike one.
So that might be a problem. Sure.
Okay.
Yeah.
But then I met you somewhere. I really, really liked you and I never tell
anyone I liked them or anything because, because I'm trying to be chill.
I don't remember like an awkward interaction. I remember like a brief meeting.
What do you remember? Okay. Tell me what you remember.
I just remember meeting. Like, you know, because we meet.
It didn't go well. I'll tell you it didn't go well.
I felt very, I felt I wasn't cool.
Okay.
Like the thing is, is I'm like.
I straight up. And here's the other thing.
I'm accidentally cool. Like I think I'm cool, but I'm not, not due to the way
that I behave.
No, certainly not.
It's like, because I would do the uncool thing where I'm like, stop, you're,
you're so funny.
Oh, I appreciate it.
I would have appreciated that.
And we just saw a movie with you that you were in it. And between me and you
and it had big people in it, but you were the best part.
I wasn't the best part, but I appreciate it.
And I know you were in the best part.
Now you're overdoing it.
No, I'm not overdoing it, but you see, this is the no chill.
We're talking about two of the best actors living were in this movie.
But you were a really fun part of the movie.
Thank you. I appreciate that.
You know, and the movie you did, there's a lot of gratuitous. Okay. Of course,
we want to see a woman begging.
We want to see a woman.
Of course, it's important for me.
Yeah, but you, you, and I'll say this coming off the conversation of how
annoying I feel around people sometimes, especially when I'm excited.
Your character was, I saw myself most in that character of all the characters.
He's kind of staying around.
He wants kind of a tour of the spot.
He's like, he wants to see, you know, when I came in here, I'm like, you
renting here?
Like, is this your problem?
Like, I'm that type of thing.
So I just thought, I get in my head, you know how we make a narrative?
Like this whole story happened that you're saying, yeah.
And I'm saying, ah, man, you see, it's again, another time where I liked
somebody.
And I said, I shouldn't have said that I liked them.
Because the fellas, it goes right to the heads.
Fellas don't like, apparently, guys, you can't go up and you say you like them.
Like, they think that that's like, I don't know.
Like, they're too good immediately.
I got a sense, but I knew you weren't like that.
So this one, I knew I screwed up.
No, no, I don't.
I think for me, it was more like, if anybody is too effusive, I just don't know
what to do.
I'm like, dang.
Exactly.
They don't know what to do.
It's not that I'm like, I like the compliment and I take it, but I'm just like,
oh, cool.
You know what I mean?
Like, thanks.
And then I go, you stupid to me.
I'm like, why did you even say anything?
You can't like people from afar.
And this is probably how people who come up to me and say something, you know,
and maybe I didn't say the right thing back.
I try and have empathy for myself in them where they probably walk away and go,
why did I say that to Robbie or something?
By the way, if you had an interaction with me and you think it didn't, I
forgive you.
Give grace.
You're doing the best you can.
You saw Robbie Hoffman.
You got excited.
I saw staff.
I got excited.
It happens.
This is for you saying this to yourself over us meeting, which I don't remember
going badly.
So I'm so happy.
So I never go through all of these things.
They all happen through friends and stuff.
Yeah, yeah.
I went through people.
Right.
I said, they said, is there anything for the special?
Because Netflix has you going here.
They have you going there.
Is there anywhere you want to talk about your special with?
I said, I'd love, I'd love to go on staff, but I don't think I had such an
interaction where I gave him a compliment.
By the way, by the way.
Was I weird?
Did I take the compliment weird?
No, I think I was too, I have to take it.
I have a thing where I, again, I'm cool in spite of having no chill.
I am the only one of the only people I know cool in spite of having no chill.
I just didn't even think about it.
I saw you and I just didn't even think about it.
Like many people who probably see us on the street.
Right.
Okay.
First of all, some of you may take this from us and start to think about it.
I've started to think about it.
I don't just run up to everyone.
And you should also start to think about it.
However, if you do not think about it and you see me in the street and you come
up and you had, it's fine.
Has that been happening?
Trust me, it's fine.
Have you been having weird interactions on the street?
No, I don't think they're weird.
That's why it's fine.
Yeah, I think they're fine too.
If you walk away and you think it was weird or I didn't like what you said to
me or whatever, get that thought.
It's over.
I agree with you.
I agree with you.
The only way it can be bad is if you overstay.
I've done that before.
If we have a nice, like...
I have done that before.
Yeah, sure, sure, sure.
If we have a nice, especially when it's like, hey, nice to meet you, big fan,
whatever.
It's like, oh, thank you very much.
I'll take a picture.
I'll even chat for a little bit, but when there's that natural break, you know,
I gotta go somewhere.
I'm usually, I'm always late.
That's the other thing.
I'm always late.
So I have a like worried, angry face at myself if you see me in the street and
I wonder sometimes.
No, I was embarrassed myself because it is where we're in this industry where
we don't, we can be, you know, we're doing it, but we're also fans of each
other's work sometimes from afar.
Or we meet through frenemies or whatever it is.
And it's an awkward thing.
It's his enemy, my enemy.
And your enemy isn't my enemy.
Okay.
And, and, and so it's this awkward thing where, where we've gotten cool and jaded.
We don't have to say, but some, sometimes once in a while, there's somebody
with a little something that I really, I'm like, I actually fuck with it.
And I do do it.
I break my rule of like, whatever.
Not that it's even a rule.
I'm just, you're jaded naturally.
We do this all the time.
Sure.
But sometimes I get to feel that innocence again.
And I'm like, oh, I'm excited too.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And it's just nice to lean in.
So I'm glad that you've reassured me that it was nothing.
Just like when people see me and they probably spiral.
Did I say the right thing?
Did I, I brought up, you know, this, that, um, it's all good, baby, baby.
Yeah, that's what I, I agree.
I fully agree.
You know, it's funny that you're always late.
I thought I would be late here because, because, you know, a packed day, but
also, you know,
between the subway and, you know, but so I said, I said, well, you message him
and say
that we're running tight.
I was on time.
Yeah.
See, my on time, I think that's late.
I know.
Yeah.
Oh, interesting.
So that's, that's how I operate.
I'm like.
Have you always been, was that like a, were you maniacal about being on time?
Well, my mother, my mother had such a reverence for anybody wealthy growing up.
It's just like, we had a doctor appointment once a year for school.
Sure.
You had to get like a clean bill of health, like a checkup.
If the school didn't require it, we never would have been at the doctor.
So thank God the school, like you have to say.
What kind of school is this?
What kind of school?
Just whatever, public school?
I didn't go to public school.
I went to, no, I went to a Jewish private school, all girls school, and then a
regular
Jewish school.
Gotcha.
Public school.
Where did you grow up in Canada?
Where'd you grow up?
Yeah, I'm, well, I'm born in New York and then I grew up in Montreal.
Oh, interesting.
So yeah, small Jewish school that required that you could do, you know,
whatever.
You can go to school.
That's good because a private school, sometimes they will really, they'll askew
basic health
stuff.
So it's good they made you go to the doctor.
Oh yeah, this was a good school.
I went to, this was like a really expensive school that we got subsidy to go on.
Nice.
In Canada, right?
In Canada, yeah.
Gotcha.
Which by virtue, yes, it's a Jewish perk.
I'll say that.
I went to a good school.
Well, thank God, by the way, it's been exposed now, but I'll be the first to
say I benefited from
that and it was a fantastic education.
And thank God it sent me to the doctor, but my mother would be there before the
doctor
was there.
Like we would take the bus because she didn't want to fuck up us going to this
school.
They're taking you to the school.
This is the type of paperwork you need.
Right, right, right.
We're not paying anything.
Right, right, right.
You know, and this-
You can't be someone who can afford a cab or a car.
You have to take the bus.
Well, yeah.
My mother also didn't have a license.
We took the bus, but no, but also she was going to get the paperwork in.
She was going to get everything in.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They're already taking us free.
We don't need problems that she didn't get the medical or whatever else.
Right, right, right, right.
So we get there and it's like literally seven in the morning.
Maybe our appointment's at night.
Like, and it's so cold in Montreal.
You have to understand it's like minus 40.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The building isn't open.
Doctors will, it's not-
Yeah, yo
