Bobby shares candidly about his personal struggles with addiction, the impact of significant life events on his sobriety, and his journey towards spiritual and emotional healing.

Bobby lee is the most underrated comedian of the past 30 years.
I love you Dwight
I thought my internet was bugging out because my neighbors were hacking my network again.
I thought it was on my end! 😊
This was so nice to see, I've watched Tigerbelly and Bad Friends for like 4 years now, and both Rainn and Bobby were my favorite actors in both of my favorite shows growing up, so to get to see a side of Bobby that is so genuine and sensitive and a side of Rainn that is so understanding and thought-provoking is like... everything I didn't know I needed in my life.
I grew up on Bobby Lee, from Mad tv, to his Comedy Central days, to tiger belly and bad friends. I can’t remember a time without him entertaining me on screen. And to finally see and hear him say he’s proud of himself? That was so beautiful and truly inspiring. No bullshit, just pure honesty and joy. Thanks you guys. This made my day.
love that you love this!!
Uh oh hot dog
I cried when bobby said "i deserve this"! You DO deserve it bobby! YOU DO!
Same here. I been a lifelong fan of Bobby and he was the first Asian on TV that I ever saw myself with.
Bobby is a huge hero of mine and I am so proud of him for how much he's grown in the past 5 years. Now, it's Bobby's time to shine and he is truly ready to capture it all🎉
Yes! Same! Bobby Lee is the GOAT
Who is here for bobby
everyone
I'm so here for this duo 🙌
Is that his name? I know him as Steebee's brother
Here for both
Both but me!
Bobby’s always been sweet, but how sweet and GROUNDED & CLEAR & PRESENT is Bobby these days???! ❤❤❤
Adderall, my friend
Ritlan aka legal Meth
except on his own pods, sadly
He’s finally medicated lolol
@@larky3487 Or its based on his surroundings
"Can I just say something?"
the thing is is this is is that
@@SoulBoom😂😂
Accurate ❤😂
That was out of pocket, and it was sneaky, and I love it
kno what I mean… knoo what I mean..
When 2 worlds collide. Im a veteran that battled depression. On my bad days I would binge the office and tiger belly/bad friends. You guys reach people on a level you probably don’t know. ❤️
🙏
Yes!!! Thank you for your service. Love Bad Friends, Tigerbelly, The Office, Rainn ❤
@ricardojimenez8663 , Thank you for your service. Please take care of yourself.
Yes, absolutely!! ❤
same brother
Glitches aside, Bobby is a great podcast guest and host.
audio only no glitching th-cam.com/video/ahdSHII0K3o/w-d-xo.html
I thought it was just me lol. Good to know it’s not my phone shitting to bed .
Was that a glitch at the beginning or did he just cut out something he said?
Apologies for the glitch and streaming difficulties y'all! YT will hopefully be sorting all lags out over the next couple of days, but the full episode is also available on all audio platforms. Appreciate your patience! 💥
This is not 4k…
No worries! Rather have an imperfect product quicker, personally. We don't care about minor, brief technical stuff. Please talk about Radio Rental you never talk about this and no one ever asks
There aren't very many good reasons to stream a podcast like this, but these issues are a great reason not to
@@calebrogers6547 yet here you are in either case
@@TheGilbertBystander ah yes the voice of a rational human being!! Seldom do we see sane people talk anymore, thanks for being the voice of the mostly silent majority!! 🎉❤
Having glitches on playback btw. Love this just fyi
Yeah it’s real weird
OMG I thought my computer was breaking before my very eyes
Very glitchy
Yeah they should do a reupload .. I think a lot of people will not last to the end of this 😢
7:06
You brought out a real version of Bobby that people don’t often see. Awesome job, Rainn. You are both icons
I love this movement of comedians speaking on sobriety, especially in today’s hyperactive drug culture.
We probably live in the must drug free era of all time
@@thepimp31I dunno about that. I mean where there used to be heroin/morphine under opiates we now have bupe,tramadol/ultram (those trick your brain/opiate receptors) 5s of diff colors and same goes for 10s.. Roxi greens, blues, Dilaudid, opanas….i could go on forever and that’s just 1 family of narcotics that come in pill form from a Dr. outta 3. I hear coke is basically gone nowadays. Better off to drink your coffee black anyways.
@@thepimp31 for real. Hard Drug use has been declining over the last 30 years
Its always nice to see Bobby being serious. I know he sometimes gets the feeling he has to make serious things funny as a comedian, but alot of us like to get this type of insight
Lots of people love Bobby and think he should be protected at all costs. I'm one of them.
eugh..please give this protected at all costs crap a rest
@@Talisman09 Thank you for pointing that out. It's what a middle schooler would say. No originality.
Without Bobby Lee and Rick Glassman, I wouldn't have found out about the depths of Rainn Wilson ✨️
And boy are my arms tired
@@jezplaysbass8009 Nice
How lame he is
I found his last podcast as I was looking up Jason Isabell interviews and Jason happened to be on his/his buddies podcast. Realized I dug him pretty quickly. I had seen his work in the office a bit. Personally, preferred his role in Galaxy Quest. lol. Nah, “Super” was his best work IMO. Great movie if you’ve never seen it.
Rainn's description of "emotional caffeine" is very insightful. I've never thought of things in that light.
Actually learned that one from Arthur Brooks! Stay tuned for his episode next week for more on emotional caffeine
Nice! Can’t wait
Maybe i would listen more if this podcast was more interactive
The glitch on this episode is such a bummer because of how beautiful of an interview this is and Bobby's vulnerability and wisdom... so good.
I doubt Bobby will see this comment but seriously so glad he exists in this world and all the laughter he brings to lives. BOBBY WE LOVE YOUUUU
I hope Bobby sees this comment, I know he sometimes feels or says that his career as a comedian isn't as meaningful as it cracks up to be to the public eye or he doesn't see whether or not his existence as a comedian makes a difference in the world, but it did at least to me personally. I have an older brother who was diagnosed with schizophrenia at the age of 18, he is 10 years older than I am, but before his mental health really started to decline, we would watch Mad tv together and loved seeing Bobby on the skits and segments particularly. Some of my fondest memories with my brother is from watching comedy and stand ups from different comedians. Once my brother's mental health took a toll on him and our family, I lost our sibling connection with one another and it became very hard to even hold a conversation sometimes, schizophrenia robbed him from the brother i used to know and love. However, sometimes when i do see him and we have a talk we always like to bring up some jokes and comedians we loved and Bobby always comes up when reminiscing... So what im trying to say is, even if you don't think you've made much of an impact, there are people who you have made a difference to whether you know it or not. So thank you Bobby for being that small thread of sibling connection for my brother and I to still have even in the slightest form. ❤
That's sad & beautiful at the same time. ❤
42:51 Bobby you are MY angel. Your podcasts have saved me from so much self hate and made me realize that if your crazy butt can get through it. I can too! Love you so much Bobby! Papaya life forever!! ❤❤❤❤
same! Nosotros Papaya!
Listening to Bobby Lee, Bill Burr and Joey Diaz's podcasts is the thing that motivated me to seek therapy. I'm so thankful that there's people that open up like they do because I realized I'm not alone in my "strange" thinking and that addiction can be defeated and it doesn't have to be a boring or miserable experience.
I love when Bobby steps out and pushes himself there are so many layers to him. Far more complex than he lets on and it’s really introspective and helpful to hear these insights.
I’m looking up the power of now. Now…
I am a long time fan of Bobby Lee.. I started crying when Bobby was describing doing the Super Bowl show and sitting with himself realising and accepting that he deserved to be there. I’m trying to learn to take credit on what I have over coming in life’s battles and what I have accomplished, I hope I get to that point one day. Thank you Rainn and Bobby.
Be proud of yourself. 🩵
Bobby Lee and Dwight a combo we never knew we needed
He’s not dwight lol
@@Trash2000s the curse of playing an iconic character
rick glassman and bobby lee are my two favorite stand up comics. thank u for bringing them on as your first two stand-up comic guests.
Glad you enjoyed!
@@SoulBoomboth of them have such an insane mix of introspection and hilariousness. both episodes are 10/10 pods.
(This is episode 5! ❤️)
@@KiraPlaysGuitar sry for not clarifying i meant the first two stand-up comic guests
the glitches made me feel like i was a little kid watching tv during a storm and the satellite being affected from it, kinda loved it
I really enjoy this side of Bobby. I wish he would do this just a little more from time to time. He has a lot of wisdom.
Def gonna be #1 most viewed
🍿
@@SoulBoom so excitedddddddd
It's already #3 ❤
Bobby can pull a reliable 300k views of damn loyal fans - very few comics/celebs have that pull beyond being a taste of the week
Bobby has a legit Slept Kingdom who will fight for him. 2024 is his year and we are ready to raise our Slept King to his throne.
30+ years Bobby endured and he opened doors for all the funny Asians we see today who aren't just stereotypes. Now, he holds the door open for the new generation of American-Asians and it's beautiful to see. I grew up in the 90s, and finally I'm a part of the game, not just watching anymore
Thank you Bobby Lee ❤
Might have more views than the rest of the channel combined
The thing is is that I love Bobby & Rainn together, namaste 🙏
#IsIsThat😁
Bobby is finally gonna open up his eyes on this enlighten experience
👀
Bobby can’t open his eyes😂
He 'opens up his eyes' a couple times a year...
His eyes are open!
I'm processing 2 individuals I relate with comedy having a serious conversation about lifes difficulties and struggles with trauma n addiction. It's great to see the 2 of you in a real light.
Bobby Lee,
I’m 27 from Detroit. I have watched your entire IMDb. I am immensely proud of you. Please have a child. I want there to be a piece of you in human form for the rest of my life. After my sister passed away during the pandemic, you were the first person to make me smile/laugh. You are my all time favorite comedian. I love introducing my friends to your work. Sending you light and love from Detroit Michigan.🩶
Yours truly,
Hazel
Please stay away from Bobby's future child
You should seek therapy, it is fking crazy to ask someone to have a child for your own entertainment

@@Talisman09 how can I stay away when I’m going to be the baby’s mother??
@@goodgirlhazel bruh
We love our Bobo. Bobo is 90% silly meanie and 10% serious. Y’all can enjoy that 10% but we love our Slept King just the way he is!
podcast so powerful its glitching through the ether😂
I love Bobby so much and now he’s been elevated to an even higher status after this; due to his personality and being a comic, everything is a bit, or awkwardness…. Seeing him be so real and vulnerable with Rainn is very touching
BOOM! Love this collab with Bobo and Rainn! Need more 😁
I had a nightmare once about a guy called Happy Boy and his sister Rain Bobo. They were violently deranged people who pretended to be trick or treaters and basically terrifying our neighborhood. Im glad it was a dream. Your comment reminded me of it for the first time in years. :3
As usual Bobby Lee crushed! He is always … ALWAYS entertaining. Even when he’s being “spiritual “. Bobby Lee is 💯… also Rainn thank you for making a podcast like this! Much needed. You are a light.
this episode is so fucking good, i really wish it didn't keep glitching at the best parts 😂
This was therapeutic! I absolutely admire Bobby for his vulnerability. I have definitely seen growth in him the last year or so. I'm so proud of him! Also, my family and I have agreed that Bobby Lee looks like a sweet little Australian Quokka! Google images of Quokka's, you won't be disappointed. 😆😆😆
you are a great listener, mr wilson. thanks for this! i don't think i've seen bobby so calm and collected in conversation
I'm glad you were able to create an environment where Bobby felt safe enough to be vulnerable, this is easily my favorite podcast episode that Bobby has been on
It's a shame we never got Bobby Lee as a special guest appearance on the office. I can imagine Bobby being bothered that Andrew Santino got to be 😂
Dude, he'd probably make every cast member hate him lol
Who's Andrew Santino?
Bobby could’ve been the Asian Dwight when there was an Asian Jim
I thought Bobby was the Asian Jim for the prank@@Phoenix-nl2ut
Bobby: you are real, and the genuine article. As a comedy fan, I care, and I'm glad your work exists. Love. Light. All the best. Rainn, thank you for having and showcasing Bobby. The diamond sparkles, and the mounting is a huge reason why it shines. Love, light, all the best. You seem to be and, I'm sure are, a great guy. All the best from Mexico City. E
Been anticipating this one for months now!
I’ve never seen this side of Bobby. Love that he was able to open up and be real about what he’s going through and has gone through. Fantastic episode! 💛
I’m a massive ram Dass, Bobby Lee and rainn fan. This is my world’s colliding and I love every bit of it! Helps when struggling with chronic illness. Keep em coming!
Such a beautiful episode. I love misfits among the misfits . I think it was so powerful when Bobby was saying about saying "I am so proud of you" in the tub. That was very moving specially after all that he has been through. Also, Rainn i loved when you talked about getting vulnerable with your son. That is so beautiful Rainn. Walter is very lucky to have you as a dad. If parents could express more vulnerability instead of just "giving orders", a kid would grow with much more closeness and trust with their parents. They would also understand better their decisions. I love this act of you Rainn as a father. That is beautiful. And sorry my broken english 😅
💯
A podcast thumbnail with Bobby Lee in it! Not possible to resist clicking on it...
I have been a fan of bobby lee since mad tv days. I listen too bad friends every week. And i have been struggling with alcohol lately and this really helped me a lot. Seeing this side of bobby makes me feel comfortable to go to a meeting. Thank u
Been a tiger belly fan since the beginning. You can see the change in Bobby..his mental health/ ‘aura ‘ (hippie dippie shit) he has literally just leveled up for himself. It’s fucking awesome and inspiring. Blessing brother
Bro is gonna relapse soon and then take another trip to Mexico for underaged lays.
Great podcast.. I love Bobby Lee and you brought out his gentle calming side. Thank you.
4:47 these next 10 seconds actually changed my life
Edit: 9:47 this was even more impacting ❤
Edit 2: 17:43 guys this is the most impacting podcast I’ve ever seen
Bro for real, wise words
😭😭
Life changing
I’m Bobby mom
just wanted to give you a moment to pause. 🤷♂
This is my favorite podcast I've ever watched. The only one with glitches that I would watch all the way through. And the first one that I will 100% watch again and again. And I don't do that. Thanks to 2 icons. And just genuine, honest, brave men. Super inspiring and soothing. ❤😊
Any time I see Rainn on something, he comes across as the nicest person on planet earth.
Already listened on Spotify. Absolutely brilliant episode
🙏
I didn't know Bobby could be this serious. It's always a heartfelt to hear comedians to be in a serious conversation. And also, I love you to death, Rainn!!!!
Bobby Lee, you are so loved 💙
You bring joy and vulnerability to the world. I love listening to you guys. Great episode! 💚
It’s nice to
See Bobby more serious/ relaxed and just talk about life and being so open like that , . Im very thankful for comedians . I love comedy . It has helped me soo much on the good and bad days .
Bobby is such a sweety- you can see he has a a very big heart full of love and kindness . I’m so glad he is doing better and helping others align the way . ❤❤
Tito Bobby 🎉
I didn't expect this combo to work, but oh my God! This was amazing.
This is the most serious I’ve seen Bobby 🥲🥲❤️ much love to both of you!
51:24 😭🥲🥹 I could cry right here. Bobby is speaking my language in every way and its so powerful to hear someone like him say that it's not necessarily about finding a way to fix yourself, its about finding yourself and accepting/loving who you are.
Wise words some people never take heed of.
idk if its just me but im 10 minutes in and it has glitched like 4 or 5 times already. It freezes for a couple seconds
I'm addicted to podcasts
I love Bobby Lee! He's so real. Great to hear you guys talk about dealing with negativity online. We underestimate how powerful it is to just talk about this stuff in-person, face to face- just doing that alone helps deal with most of these issues and we need more of it! Great conversation guys, thank you! :)
Huge fan of both Bobby and Rainn. Thank you, gentlemen, for sharing the vulnerable sides of yourselves on top of your comedic gifts. You are reminding us that it’s okay to slow down and be gentle and comfortable with ourselves, flaws and all.
Rainn seems like such a great father 🙂
It hit me in the stomach also ❤❤❤
I see bobby lee, I click.
I’ve literally just discovered that you’re podcasting and I’ve got to say this is such a different vibe than I expected. It’s seriously great, I’m sure you’re helping so many people with talks like this. Thanks Rainn!!
I love Bobby ♥️he inspires me to stay sober , I watch his podcast and it brings so much laughter and joy that I need so desperately in my life so thankful I found the podcast as well.
Bobby Lee changed my life 🧬
this podcast can't disappoint ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
I appreciate you both for this!! In recent events in the past few months, I've been struggling with all around life, listening to this truly lifted a majority of the weight. Thank you Rainn and Bobby!! ❤
29:48 I love seeing Bobby vulnerable like this. Him sharing what he’s gone through will help others.
so hope this can be re-uploaded without the glitches-missed out on some important parts!!
The glitches make my edible stronger than it supposed to be. 😅
This is the first time for me watching this show. GREAT episode! I love Bobby, and it’s so cool to hear him talk without hiding behind his online character.
The world needs men like Bobby!
Great job!!! I am now hooked on another new show!!
I love you both so much. Thank you for sharing your experiences and insights with the world, please keep doing it. You’re both inspiring, I love this blend of comedy and deep thought. Purely sharing profound joy ❤
i could really go for a hug from rainn
The only thing that sucked about this podcast is the crazy about of times it freezes for like 10 seconds at a time, give your editor a slap from me 😂
Maybe lower the resolution or get a new service provider?
I had se issue, thought it was my phone 😂
also had the issue
@@james_thegirl they have since re uploaded a newer version without that person
I hope you see this Bobby Lee. You are a f'ing legend. The way you've spoke on your podcasts over the years has made me a HUGE fan of who you are personally. Keep killing it in life and inspiring others as you have inspired me through my rough times. Thank the universe for you. Bless you and your family
Bobby seems like duch a solid dude. I'm 5 years sober and struggle with spirituality among other things. When I hear people like Bobby speak on the subject, it's a bit easier to breathe and humble myself.
Watching it from Kazakhstan. Loving evey minut of it. Keep up a good work! (THE KGB waits for no one)
How's that pyramid of peace in Astana???🤔
Amazing 👏
So happy to see the slept king on here ❤🤴🏻

Another great episode! Love Bobby Lee. One of my favorite parts of this discussion was when you talk about parenting. So happy to hear Rainn talk about how it's great to show his son the different ways you can be a man and a father.
I was going a tough time as a student and office sitcom especially Dwight character and his confidence portrayed by him.absolute love to u Dwight and I pray all this good bring happiness in ur family.thanks again.❤❤
I’ve been waiting for this one!!!
That freeze frame near the beginning is terrifying lol
Bobby Lee has always had a special place in my heart . Gave me so many laughs and I can relate to him and his childhood very much .
Thanks for all the smiles and laughs Bobby !! 💐 💐 💐
Amazing episode! Was great to hear Bobby like this. I love the tone of these conversations; authentic and sincere explorations of human experiences but with the interpersonal/comedy skills to build in narrative fluency and humour. Gonna binge anything I can find on this channel!
I actually am missing so much of the 'live' because it keeps glitching and pausing and then cutting out, and I end up missing what's said. I like it a lot more when it's already posted and there's no cutting out.
Its happening for me also after posted, I think there was an upload issue, they will probably re upload or not whatever
Yeah I’m also having this issue it happened like 3-4 times
YESSSS MAN. BOBBY hang out with rainn more. Best
I love this! Such a great, funny and profund GREAT talk. Thank you both. I have so much love for Bobby. And Rainn
Love this side of Bobby. Thank you!
I’m Bobby mom!!!!!
There is a glitch at 4:49, in case your team misses it Rainn!
There’s a lot of glitches
Soooo many glitches 🥹
Again at 17:50
And 25:14
and 51: something
Every time Bobby has been “serious” on other pods I can never tell if he’s serious, but this one I can tell he’s genuine and I absolutely love it!🙏 thank you for this episode!
Thank you, Bobby and Rainn - great messages and humor. We need this :)
“ the thing is this that “.
I thought he says “the thing is is that”
Is this Borat doing a Bobby Lee impression?
Very close. 😂
This one gonna be wild! 🔥🔥
no one can prepare you for bobo
I hope Bobby lee reads this… Your entire existence on the internet has made me comfortable understanding my brain and the way I act versus how I feel about life and how to navigate I’m happy you saved me 30 years more than u gave yourself to figure it out
