way do a great you do a great job for people that are sports fans you are a
sports fan but specific
sports fans have you ever done it at a soccer game i know because he's a die-hard
soccer really that's
interesting you would do it for you wait wait what's that why that i will i don't
know i just
don't meet a lot of soccer fans in america okay good very good yeah good
counter it might be
mike i just want to let you do it i know you're blushing but um i i i quit
smoking a couple days
ago so i'm a little agitated yeah i know it comes across i was like as i'm
being combative right but
it's just me full of anxiety i said oh interesting why the fuck is it
interesting yeah yeah yeah so that's
what that's funny how yeah yeah so i apologize it's just yeah yeah i apologize
no you're doing
fine yeah you're doing great yeah yeah but i don't say it enough i'm proud of
you see oh thank you so
much mike yeah yeah i told you he was proud yeah yeah thank you so no he does
interviews outside of
football games and they're very very funny okay brother and it's usually um it's
a little bit of
negging it's but it's but it's light ribbing in a way that people would really
love that like sports and
it's something like i know enough about the opposing team to make fun of them
but also be aware
i'm a fan of bad sports teams too so it's like you can make fun of me too so it's
fun yeah it's like
yeah i'm sorry brother cincinnati bangles god bless the bangles yeah arizona
state sun devils
phoenix suns arizona state not that you would give a fuck whatsoever we
literally played a men's
basketball game two days ago and lost 45 points i think i think it was 50
points yeah pretty cool
and bob really was like i'm out i'm done can you imagine this in soccer would
be losing like 12 to
nil yeah that's how big of a get in men's basketball it was losing by 50
alarming unheard of it's it's
like a it's like even the players who were winning were like are you guys okay
yeah yeah we're tapping
in yeah we're fucking you guys up i had friends i haven't heard of in years
being like you good dog
you're all right bro yeah yeah you need some help but i do i like i like sports
drinking beer talking
shit and so i go to sports games and uh sporting events and then i do a tour
around it every year so
it's fine so that's my that's uh you got to be a self-starter in comedy as you
guys know so just
started well you're well you're you're here aren't you this is great yeah i
appreciate you guys putting
me on the play oh we're proud to have you guys are great yeah you guys have
always been very kind
to me so i appreciate it um let's can i be honest with you oh oh careful settle
in yeah i want to
settle in let's be real yeah say what you need i don't think i have been that
kind to you
that's fair i i i i don't think that i've given you enough time of myself i
think i'm let's be honest
with you i think that i've um been in and out with you i think is there a route
i don't know i'll just
because i think it's the no uh the the the jonesing that i'm i'm feeling but i
feel a little vulnerable
right now i'm being you're saying in general right i think in general i i
bypass them a lot at the store
and i don't really take the time to say hi i think that you let's be let's get
that let's get it on
the table you are an interesting guy to me because i i know you and i are are
good friends when i see
you it's always love and say whatever yeah and so sometimes like i remember
initially when you guys
started the pod i was like oh bobby would probably be cool to me and we've we've
had we've had some
back and forth you know what it is though yeah i'm just who i am i'm from the
midwest i'm just a
dude that's from cincinnati yeah and i remember one of our first interactions
this is probably
something that's not shocking to either of you i think you like tried to high
kick me yeah and like
like speaking of soccer being a soccer fan now i know you're just a soccer yeah
yeah yeah he tried
to yeah i think that's what it was lu kang me yeah he tried to fight kick me i
was like dude i've seen
mortal kombat and i've got a couple of ancient stereotypes i can kick at you
too i understand
that but i'm above that but that's what i remember my relationship with you it's
not like it's more like
a violence well so yeah and so i i want to change yeah no today's the day we're
buddies with the same
people i have ramsey's a good buddy of mine yeah we talked about let me clarify
something okay okay
he will only kick you if he likes you so now knowing like seeing some am i
right everyone i do think
and let's just get that out of the way i think about that now in hindsight and
was it was it high
it was high it was impressive that's a good one and this is a pre-gop thing
yeah yeah yeah yeah
that's because i like it so again now i know that yeah yeah i was like newer to
la and i was i'm just
not the type of cat that'd be like that was cool yeah and i didn't say anything
but i probably gave
you body language was like yo that wasn't nah oh i think that's what i read i
oh yeah i think that's
what i read and i was like not i said not myself yes because i don't like your
reaction 100 yeah yeah
yeah yeah like who the is it because the headliner yeah yeah you know i don't
see his name on the
wall you know what i mean but then i don't i don't bend the knee and i don't
know you don't and
you know what and now we have an understanding yeah right but the next time i
high kick it uh
god i'm fucking grabbing it okay you know what i'm saying maybe a ddt okay okay
his girlfriend
he's been training for years she's vietnamese her family's all vietnamese oh
there's traps i've been
to i've been to the house yeah you know how battle tested i am right right you
ever party with some
vietnamese people yeah yeah i know what the to do yeah yeah wait this is
interesting because you i want
just a quick perspective share of where in the overlap of the pie charts of you've
adopted a
filipino family into your life oh that's interesting you've adopted a vietnamese
family into your life
i want to know what the similarities are of like because you live they live at
your house yeah they
do and now you're embedded into their life yeah we've lived together for here
what are they do you
have there moments where uh let me ask let me yeah let me ask all right um can
these can they sleep
anywhere oh yes she could yeah yeah yeah that's a similar right yeah yeah she's
like in the kitchen
on the floor they sleep everywhere they do they just fall asleep when they i'll
just i'll just go oh
right right it's just jewels on a fucking chair sleeping like this yeah yeah
can they eat like the
anything anything yeah and like in amounts that are alarming yeah yeah i've i've
done this like
um i'll get two jersey mike sandwiches yeah right two yeah you're eating two no
i don't eat them all
the same i have an emergency one oh good good check on that yeah that's crazy
yeah it's crazy i'm a
huge jersey mike's guy that's nuts yeah yeah i'll get two right and i'll do an
emergency one that's
smart yeah yeah and i'll keep that in the fridge right and then it'll be there
for like i don't know
how long and they'll eat it they'll eat if they're after like a week a week
yeah yeah they'll still
eat it the i i know and they'll eat the wrapper too they won't yeah yeah they
don't waste they're
very nice they don't waste yeah yeah they don't waste yeah yeah well and then
are they actually
from the philippines and now live here oh yeah yeah so she's okay yeah well you
know how it is i
want to high kick you so bad i just want to high kick you so bad right now is
your girlfriend from
so half her family's from vietnam but she was born in cali so she has a she's
more oh well
mine's from the actual yeah yeah well half her family is and i party with them
a lot and we kick it a lot
they're great they've i've never had more support in my life but if you cross
them the most you never
cross it's the most combative shit right so if this relationship which i hope
it never does go south
you need to leave the country you know what's funny is if it hits it'd be so it'd
be so cold and icy
that it'd be no interaction ever again i mean it'd be dead in a way that would
hurt more than if it
was come back i got you i got you know if as if it was with a white girl you
know what i mean yeah yeah but
this is like this is oh yeah um and also southeast asia both philippines that's
the other crossover in
southeast asia but filipinos are obviously on the island yeah but vietnamese
are uh they're that's
a kind of that that energy is a little similar i've always found laos cambodia
vietnam yeah
filipinos is that fair it is fair i'm dating hippie white and hippie whites
though right this is your
first hippie white yeah yeah hippie whites are different they're different yeah
they're a lot more like
asians in what way they'll eat anything well that's because they're high oh is
that why yeah
oh that's the weed i see that's the weed okay okay okay okay okay but also hippie
whites are like
asians in this um trying to find uh in the zen way yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
closer to buddhism yeah
right the catholicism yeah yeah yeah and this hip you'll leave the room walk
and they're doing
this yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah and this hippie asian has coached you know i
gotta you know has
coached it it is interesting that you're open-minded to other asians though
usually other asians hate
other asians yeah which is fun what like i thought i know like koreans don't
like chinese
that's that's that's absolutely that's absolutely not true well all right yeah
yeah yeah all right i
love all the asians except for this is you i what except for what which one indians
you can always get one i'm totally kidding no i love everybody he's kidding i'm
kidding
