Summary
Guy Fieri joins the Bad Friends podcast for an in-depth conversation covering his career in food media, philanthropy work with first responders and disaster relief, cigar business ventures, car collection, and personal philosophy on authenticity in entertainment. The episode blends comedy banter with genuine discussion about building brands, giving back, and maintaining integrity in the public eye.
Insights
- Authenticity and unfiltered personality are more valuable in modern media than polished corporate messaging—audiences can detect and reject inauthenticity
- Successful brand extensions require genuine passion, not celebrity slapping; Guy's cigar, tequila, and wine businesses work because he actually uses and loves the products
- Philanthropy tied to personal values (first responders, disaster relief, special needs programs) creates sustainable impact and deeper brand loyalty than generic charity
- Building a loyal community through consistent presence and accessibility (bringing friends to events, staying connected) outperforms traditional networking in entertainment
- Separating personal relationships from professional competition is essential in competitive industries; proactive communication prevents misunderstandings

He goes, you don't... You're sick again? Dude the guy? Every time he... I was just telling... I was just telling mommy. I'll live in today's. He goes, he goes... You suck. When you grab... When you grab one branch, don't let go... Only grab this one branch, when you... What is it? I said... You don't want to let go of the branch before you grab the next one? Yes, that's what... I know. That's old monkey philosophy. I love monkey philosophy. Give us some more. I love monkey philosophy. Last night Bob, I watched the... The disappearance of the girl from the cruise ship. Did you watch this documentary already? No, I only watched the one with Asian people in it. The one that disappeared at that hotel. Remember when they found out they were in the water tank? Oh, I love that one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Only Asian girl disappearances I do. Okay, was she white? She's a white. Yeah, don't tell me about it because I'm going to watch it. Amy Bradley, it's fantastic. Okay. It'll drive you nuts. It will? It'll drive you nuts. Did she end up in a tank? She... I only watched it when I ended up in a water tank. She ends up on a tank. They forced her to be in the army after this. Wow. She's got the haircut. Yeah, I don't want to go... I don't want to rip on her because I don't know... If you don't know if she's dead, that's funny. Yeah, I don't... Or dead. That's so conscious of you. No, I'm very mindful about things like that. I gave you so many... Look at that face. I gave you so many compliments this morning on that show. And we talked about you very wholeheartedly about you being... Oh my God. Here he goes and goes again about the last meal. You're my best friend. I love you too, dude. No, no, look at me. Look at me, China. Did they serve alcohol with your last meal? Did they serve back alcohol with your last meal? Yeah. What was your last meal? But they suck a lot of pills, suck a lot of... Honestly, dude. Yeah. You're so illiterate. It's crazy. You're a little red. That's why I'm asking. But you have a little red. Did you drink a little? Am I red? Because I was in the sun. I'm orange. Did they serve alcohol with your last meal? Did they suck a lot of pills? What was your last meal? How quickly will I ship you back to Spain? Pig. You want to go back to Spain, pig? Fucking pig. Do you hear his cough? Do you hear him literally sick coughing in the booth? Did you get COVID or what? No. Just a regular cough. Dude, perfect comedic timing. That's like when my dog farts and stares at me. When did you get it? You have COVID again. There's no doubt in my mind. When did you get this? Like a few days ago. So we're going to get sick? I know. What the fuck are you doing here? You suck. You suck. He shows up to the show sick. Look, go ahead. You look terrible. I wanted to share everything. Pig, pig. Yeah, I hate him. No wonder you did monkey philosophy. Yeah. Oh, monkey flu stuff he's got. Give us another monkey philosophy, idiot. Well, I just learned something I would date in. There's this new trend called Shrek him. He's trying to segue into a clip that to rip on me. I respect it. I don't like it. I respect it. Okay, what's Shrek? Shrek is going viral now. What is Shrek? Shrek describes the act of dating down on purpose. The idea is that you pick someone you believe is less attractive than you because you think they'll be grateful, worship the ground you walk on and never hurt you. They're saying that girls are Shrek-ing you. You're Shrek, my G. You're a little Asian Shrek. Shrek-er. There you are, Shrek-er. Okay, well, you know what? Fiona, I have been waiting so long for this moment. Dude, Asian Shrek was way better than Scottish Shrek. Donkey. Donkey, stop upreying around the donkey. That's you. You're Shrek-ing. You do, you get Shrek-ed. Okay, let me get this straight. Alright, stop it. Guys, first of all, the bid is over. That's not funny. Let me get this straight. Bobby gets women that are in his league because they're beautiful and so is he. So that's not funny. So you're saying that, okay, let me just say, let me get this straight. You're saying that human women, right, think that I'm some sort of mythological creature. Kind of. Yeah, and they're dipping down. They're not dipping down. They're choosing lower. So because they know you'll be a wonderful, grateful, appreciative. But I believe that women are attracted to me, though. That's what Shrek says. What I'm saying, what I'm saying, how do they get juice? What do you mean, how do they get juice? How does the juice occur? It's worth a squeeze, baby. Yeah, yeah. Huh? Money. Money. Yeah, he's got the money. Well, you know what? Okay, I'll take down that. I'll take my across. And I will take fling fling. You know what I mean? Some four foot two, you know what I mean? Ugly. Fling fling? Yeah, whatever dude. Whatever you say. Yeah, whatever you say dude, because you know what? We got up on the wrong foot. I'll tell you that. I came in here positive, dude. So did I. You know what I mean? Supporting your philosophies, you know what I mean? Listening to your last meal. I asked you a couple of times what was your last meal. You ignored me. And now you rip on the way I look. And it's not a really good way to begin. First of all, I can't talk about the last meal. The episode doesn't come out yet until when this comes out. Second of all, I didn't rip on you. The guy's in the booth, dude. You laughed like you when I fell on those fucking blades. It was funny. Yeah. It was funny. Okay. The guy brought up a funny beat. It's a funny beat. What is this? It's not a comedy show anymore? It is. Why are you being so sensitive? What's going on with you? Because maybe I'm ugly. Maybe I'm going through a spot where I'm looking in the mirror. Do you think? Yeah, I'm thinking about getting worked on. I'm thinking about getting worked on. Because of this kind of fucking shit, dude. All right, I'm going to get the bowtogs, my eyes bigger. You know what I mean? A chin thing like Brad Pitt. I'm going to do the whole thing. Now you did that. Yeah. Now I'm going to look all fucked up. Okay. All right. Thanks. Yeah, I got on UZIMP because people said I was fat. Now you look great. Yeah. Now I got to do something with my face. And you'll look better. Dude, you're proving the point. We're bullying you into being better. All right, I'll do it. No. Yeah, yeah, I'm going to do it all. I think you're good the way you are. No, I'm doing it all. I'm doing what you... I never called you fat. Yes. Roll the clip. Yeah, you roll the clip, dude. Right? I never called you fat. Yeah. I don't want you to get work done. And if I don't think I'm a fucking hot person... I say have a little penis, you say. You say that. No, you've said that to me before. It is. No, it's not. It's fine. It's very good. It's very good as a little rude. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're out of pocket. You have a regular ass stick. Yeah, but to call it, you know what I mean, the way you call it, toky the funk... That's your... Dumb dumb, toky the dumb dumb. You call it toky the dumb dumb. Okay. Number two, so no, you've called me fat before. Have I? No. I've never heard that. Thank you. Oh, here we go. Oh, wow. A conspiracy. Oh, bro, everything is a conspiracy, man. So anyway, talking to the crew outside and I won a little debate there and outside. What was the debate? Well, they had some Lord of the Rings tattoos on their bodies, which is nerdy. You like nerd shit. What are you talking about? No, I'm nerdy too. And I gave them trivia questions. About Lord of the Rings. And they answered them quickly. Oh, they all knew the... They were hot on the LOTR, huh? Yeah. The first question I asked was, what was... I can't even fucking talk right now because of the Shrek thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That makes sense. Shrek hit you that hard. It's one beat. Yeah, it hit me. It's one joke. Yeah, but when you're going through like, I'm ugly already in my mind. You're not ugly. I know, but when I'm sitting in my mind, you know what I mean? Shrek. Tuna. So I asked the guys outside. Get at the donkey. What was arrogance? We have to go to the castle. Stop! Bullying! Donkey. All right. What are you talking about, Shrek? The donkey is also... Did you see... Did you see... Did you see Druski in white body? It's the greatest thing I've ever seen in my fucking life. Druski, who we love, who's trying to get on this show, he did white body. Not white face. He became a white dude, went to NASCAR and was like, God bless America, dude! He looks white there. It's unreal. That's unreal. That's Druski. That's amazing. That guy walked by, he spit on him. He spit in front of him. This guy, he's so funny. Druski maybe is the funniest guy on the internet right now. Can I do white? You can? Yes, you should do white body. Honestly, we should do... And you should be a different color. Yeah, yeah. A color that's not gonna get in trouble. What's that? Just a tan Mediterranean man. Too close. What? You're right on the line. No, but you could just say, I'm from Morocco. You're walking on a lake in April? That's Africa, my bad. You're walking on a frozen lake in April. And it's just a little too late. Too icy. It's too late. The ice is gonna crack. Right. Yeah, like get off of the... Get off. April's a little too late for us. Well, if I go white, what can you do? I can be like a... Well, I can be your white best friend. And we can say wild shit to people. Yeah. When we go out in public. What's wrong with our society where you can't dress up? In blackface? No, you could be an Indian guy. I should give you a history book. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's gonna blow your mind. I could give you... How about this? You can be Korean. And I'll allow you to do it. If I'm with you, I could. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But also... That'd be funny if he was Korean face. Well, we'd have to have you set up the clip. You'd have to be like, this is my best friend. We're doing this. I am forcing him to do this. Yeah, yeah. We're gonna quit the podcast. You just got my mom at gunpoint. You're like, do it. Yeah. Do it. Yeah. No, we don't need to do that. Okay. That's for him. He did a great job. I just always wanted to do whiteface, but I'll give me the L-O-T-R trivia you wanted to dive over. I'm so excited about it. Okay. I feel like the time has passed. No, time is now. Okay. Well, I asked what was Aragorn's street name? Oh, it's... Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you know the answer? Do I? Yeah. Do I? Yeah, what is it? No, what the fuck? Strider. Strider Road? I don't know what was the last name. Oh, street name. I thought you meant like what street he lives on. No. I was like, I don't fucking know where you live. What's his house? No one knows where Aragorn lives. Well, that's a big flaw this year. He lives in Gondor now. What part of Gondor? Because there's two nice... Main street next to the McDonald's, behind the Starbucks. That's actually a bad part of the city. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, um... We're sending in troops to Gondor. We've got to clean up Gondor. The question I asked was, um... What did... What did, um... Gollum say to Frodo and Samwise Genshin when they're going through the swamps? What did they say? You know, don't follow the lights. Okay. And then... That's for all six listeners. So then they asked me some and then they... And then they stopped me, right? Forgot even what there was. But then I said that Dominic Monhand texted me this morning. Did he really? Yeah. What'd he say? I win. I'm not going to fight for it with celebrity. With knowing celebrity. Hey, Carlos. Carlos. Hey, Dominic Monhand texted you. Yeah. Huge. Yeah, sorry. Famous actor. So whenever these fans do this bullshit about me in Hollywood, it's like, dude, you guys don't even know, this guy's just quiet about his bullshit and he brings it out on me. So what I should do is start to invest... Nerds, they try to bury me. When nerds try to bury you, you have to fight back with Hollywood. What are you talking about? Okay. What are you talking about? That's a monkey philosophy too. Oh, that is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like that. Stop putting your hand up like that. It's weird. It's not this. No, stop it, dude. You're so close. I know, but you deserve it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Dominic Monhand. Shut up. The people that you hang out with? Oh, really? Oh, really? Oh, really? Oh, Dominic Monhand. Who do I hang out with? I don't hang out with anybody. Jimmy Kimmel last night. I did his television show. How was it? How did that go? Jimmy Kimmel last night. How did it go? Fucking great. Was it fun? He loves you. He literally loves you. That guy fucking loves you. That was you last night? That was me. Amazing. You didn't do the big suit thing? It's funny. You know what the biggest joke of this is? We bought the big suit. McCoy, you got to return it for me. Okay. We bought the big suit and then I decided it just looked like it didn't work. So then I called Blake Griffin. A true bit. Talk about Hollywood. Yeah. I knew. That's the comments. Hollywood. Yeah. They're going to make you do this when you do a fucking special on Hulu too? I will not do it. Oh, you won't do Jimmy Kimmel? I will not do any legacy media. Why? Because I'm going to just do my ecosystem. Good for you. Because I'm in the man of the people. Man of the people? Yeah, and you will see. You're a man of the people? I'm a fucking cult leader. What are you talking about? You're a man of the people who complains about not getting the perfect first class seat on a fucking flight and bitches about the hotels that we stay at when they're not as fancy as they should be. That went out on the internet. It was a mean it, Bobby. Right? I mean it. Fuck you. That went out on the internet, right? That went out on the internet, right? You liar. Macon? Oh, yeah. Yeah. An ogre of the people. Ogre of the people. You know how much shit I've been getting about that? What? Being an ogre? No, about all that. What are you talking about? Oh, being in 52B. Yeah. Well, we put it out. We did it on this show. I know. You know how much fucking shit I've been getting about that? So you're not a man of the people? Stop lying. I lied. Okay. Stop lying. I'm not a man of the people. Yeah, thank you. I'm a liar. No legacy media for you. Well, I wanted to do Jimmy Kimmel at Tier and Lauderdale. Look at that. I had a wonderful time. Tell me what happened. Well, the reason I did it, well, look, that was Blake Griffin's suit. I thought it'd be funny to borrow a six-nine-guys suit because that was funnier than the one we bought. It ended up kind of fitting. I was like, what the fuck? That's the suit? That is a Blake Griffin suit. Oh, wow. Actually, a suit. And that pin I'm wearing, the why this was special to me very truthfully, is that was an Uncle Frank pin who died, passed away. His Uncle Frank who was on the show. And Uncle Frank saw me 18 years ago do stand-up and told me I was dog shit, but I was going to be good one day. And I told the story on the show and he invited me to see Kimmel when I was a kid and I met him 18 years ago on the show. And his Uncle Frank who now has passed away, who was a big piece of the show, is the first time I ever got to go there. It was like a beautiful, it was actually, it was a beautiful moment. A real clap. It's not being facetious. It was a beautiful moment in time. And I thought it was a really cool, full circle moment for me to be able to do that. Yeah. I know you're mocking it because you don't take anything serious. Because you know that's why you're a sad little fucking troll, you little shrek. That's why you're a sad little fucking fat shrek. Do it. Your insecurities are so fucking bleeding through your little eyes. You can't tell one sweet story without this little fucking filthy noodle being like, let's mock it. It's so funny, dude. You're funny. Fake laugh, fake laugh. Get over it. Oh, so fun. Oh, I'm so good. It's so good. I'm so good. That happened. Yeah. You know what? That I told a sweet story about something. No, really a sweet. It was. Yeah. Wow. You have any. You want to go toe to toe? Let's go. Let's hit. Let's hit. You want to go fucking stroke for stroke? Dude, I'm on fire. I'm in sixth gear. Your car doesn't even go this fast. I'm sorry. Thanks. I'm sorry. We're back. That was bad. That was bad. Yeah. God, I love. Fuck, sorry. Fuck. You know, come on. OK. I love you so much. I love it. Yeah. It was, you know, what's so funny about doing legacy media stuff? It is funny that I did think afterwards. I thought, God, our show is so much more fun. We can say whatever we want. We don't think about it. We can like be fucking. You're thinking the whole time you do. I have never done that. I mean, the only time I've done panel is when I did the tonight. Chelsea. Chelsea. Chelsea, what? You did Chelsea lately. Yeah, but that's not this. That's panel. What do you mean? That show was fucking huge. The highest rated show at the time. Are you out of your mind? That show was more famous than these shows by far. Chelsea had millions of viewers. OK. But I've never done this. You remember that? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, I never. This is the first time I've ever done it. I've never done panel. I've never done couch. Really? No, I've literally never done. I did. Jim Carrey did it with me one time we promoted I'm Dying Appear. It was his and I was guessing on it. I've never done it on my own. Yeah, but you've done it. No, dude. Yeah, you did it with Jim Carrey. No, but I'm saying it was Jim Carrey was on and we were like with him. He did it like we were there. I didn't. Oh, you said that. This is just me on the show. Right, right. Ship station choo choo.

We love you, dude. I'll tell you this. I love you, dude. The dog pacifier. I like that. No, the dog loves the show because we leave it on. When we leave the house, we go leave the TV on for noise.

There's nothing they won't say. Yeah, you don't touch everything. I touch it all the time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You fondle touch everything. Dude, I don't... Yeah, yeah. I'm glad I teed that up for you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, but you know what? We cater. We cater. Look at the lingon we're using. Yeah. We cater. We cater. Making you feel comfortable. Right. To make you feel comfortable. It's so much. Right. To the guests. Right. We did our mise en place to make sure that everything was the way that you wanted it to be. We wanted it to be comfortable. You brought your crew, your family to us now. You're a part of the Bad Friends family. We've been a fan of you. We've been plating it up for you. We've been plating it for you. And here's the appetizer. Bobby, show your butthole. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's getting stuff up. You want to see my butthole? Yeah, show him, dude, just in case. You want to see my butthole guy? He's never seen it. You know what? Let's go to commercial break and then talk about that. Yeah, yeah. I'll just... Is that... I don't know, dude. Can you go see my butthole? Well, look, check it out. I'm going to pass. He's going to pass. I'm going to pass. I'm going to pass. You know, that's rude. I'll tell you this, right? If you cook me food, I would not pass. Well, I think that and your butthole are two different things. You know, it's calamari. Yeah. You don't like calamari. It's kind of a different calamari. Okay, fine. I do want to make one mention about feeling welcome and everything because the porno chair that I'm sitting on... ...is this. Yeah. Smells like tropatone. That's awesome. Well, we got these from Adidia State Sale. So these things are fresh. Yeah. Right off the block. You want some lube because we have a lot. We have so much. I'm sitting in it right now. Yeah. You see, you're moisturizing with it. Yeah, I get your garbage pail nachos from Gold Belly. So good. Yeah. If I have a little party. Trash can. But that's what... Yeah, it's okay. I mean... No, no, he's from... In Korea, they call him garbage pail. Yeah, yeah. In Korea, we call him garbage pail. Yeah. I'm telling you. So I wanted to be prepared and make sure that I had seen everything that I'm supposed to see. I follow a lot with TikTok and I get the extras. But my sons and my admin, my guy Ian, show me all kinds of clips. It is just amazing that you two have not killed each other. We almost did five minutes ago. Five minutes ago, we only did. I want to hear about that. One of my favorite was the gong. Oh, yeah. It's hidden in the back. I just would really like one gong moment if I could. We still have one. Wow, okay. You're not an ally then. Yeah, no, I am. I just... Oh, you know what the gong's for? It's an anal gong. It... You're going to see my butthole. Okay, here we go. You know how scared I was. You're going to show me. He does. If you're lucky you get to see it. Guy, we're so happy that you are here. You were talking right before we started rolling about the cigar that's in... Is this your cigar? Is that what I heard? Yeah. Yeah, so I'm a big cigar smoker. Have been forever. And matter of fact, it was one of the first things when I started building my brands and so forth. I would have scars. And my agents and my manager and everybody said, now your little sister passed away from cancer. It's probably not a real good topic and so forth. Did you smoke? No, she didn't. She died in Fort Save. She had cancer when she was a little kid. Oh my God, so sorry. And then she got it older when she was 38, but lived a great life. And she has an amazing son that we got to help run. Just graduated law school. But no, so I'm a big scarf fan. My grandfather's got some scars. So I met a guy named Eric Espinoza. And he said to me right off the bat, I don't want to make a celebrity branded cigar. And I said, well, great news because I don't want to make one either. I just want to make badass cigars of the level that I like cigars. So it's called, and my whole company's called Knuckle sandwich, but that's what we call them. It's Knuckle sandwich. Knuckle sandwich. So I do smoke cigars. No, but can you leave it for us in case? I will absolutely leave cigars. I'd love to try it. In fact, I'm going to brand them and I'm going to send them to you with your logo on. I will make them really sexy. Where do you get the tobacco as a Cuban? Nicaraguan. Nicaraguan. So there's a big story about that, about how cigars started. And when they, when everybody left Cuba, you know, when the Castro time happened, a lot of people picked up and took the seeds with them and went to the Dominican Republic and went to Nicaragua and so forth. So these, this is all Nicaraguan. And this, like I said, this business partner, Espinosa that I have is really a chef of cigars. Yeah. And they're the real deal. So this is the Havana. This is the first one we ever made. And as long as the tobacco is from Nicaragua, it's close to Cuba. That's right next door. But it's like some kind of Korean Chinese rice. But cigars. Cigars get a bad rap. Cigars do get a bad rap. Why do they get a bad rap? Because most people don't take care of their cigars and they'll keep their cigars in their golf bag and they'll be like, Hey man, I got some cigars. You want to smoke them? Well, they're dried. They're dried out. They haven't been kept in the correct humidity, which is about 70%. And they get bitter and burnt and dry and they burn hot and acidic and they're nasty. And I mean, I won't smoke them out. But if you take a cigar and you roll it in your fingers like this and it doesn't crackle, you probably have the right humidity. You can have too much humidity where it gets soggy and it doesn't draw right. But we draw test all of our cigars. Do you smoke cigars when they're dry though, ever? Because I used to have one of those, what do you call it? Humidor. Humidor. I had a humidor, right? And then I stuck it in the closet for years. Right. And it opened back up and there was like this really stinky cigar. Yeah, it's got to be done right if it doesn't. And I smoke it and it fell apart in my hands. You have to take care of cigars. And that's the biggest thing that people misunderstand is that they get cigars given to them and they get really good cigars. And they'll go and not properly humidify them. And it just, they go away. They go to waste. Yeah. But you don't waste them. How much does retail for? Is it good price or is it expensive? Is it fancy cigar? Middle price. I mean, mid-priced. And we do a variety of them. This is the Habana. We do a Connecticut. We do a couple different Maduros. And we do some special lines where we do some limited offer stuff. Yeah, this is, I'll get you to cigars. Because a lot of times, and this is just like with food, or this could be with anything, it could be with tequila, it could be if people say they don't like it, I'll typically say, okay, tell me when you started not liking it. Like when was that? Like Brussels sprouts. That's always what everybody hates. I don't like them. Okay. I bet you. I promise you. Well, you're Italian. You know, I mean, come on. Yeah, Italian. I don't, you know, I don't. Everybody does. Everybody does them. And I'm like, I don't, do I want it? I don't even know. Do I like it? Do I like this cigar? Do I like this cigar? We will try cigar. I will get you a cigar. I'm from Saigon. You are from Saigon. I love this group over on the side, by the way. Yeah, yeah. This is the good group. The window? Ask away. Any questions you have about these idiots? Ask away. I mean, honestly, they're the Muppets in the window. And we keep them there because they're all different unique species. Carlos is Mexican, and he's got an ongoing war going on with, that's fancy B right there, that's Andrés. And he's Spanish from Spain, and the kid in the back is just a pervert we found roaming the streets. First one to shake my hand, thanks. It's real, I feel better about myself. And you guys have Santa time. You guys holiday? Yeah, squirt. Here, here, here. If you need that, take that. Take it. That's some, take it. Guy, I need to ask you a real question, because as an avid fan, a real true avid fan, I can tell, not everybody can tell, but I can tell when I do, when I watch Triple D. Right. When you don't like the food. Really? I can tell right away. Really? I can tell. It's based on your phrasing. Kill me. Okay, okay. Okay, so when- But do the voice. That is out of bounds. When I know. I thought he only did impressions of you. I can tell you all the above. I don't have an accent. I'm going to tell you this right now, dude. I'm going to tell you this right now in front of Guy Fury, dude. That's going to stop today, because I don't have an accent. Fine. Sorry. Right, I wasn't saying yet. When I know- Do I look like Shrek? Back to what you're saying. Okay. When I know that you don't like something. Okay. When I know that you're not as into something on Triple D. You quickly kind of go through it. You go, yeah, good stuff. And then the process you make this in which you move quickly through it. When you compliment, there's certain words and phrases and also you're a Guy language. You're vernacular you use. Right. Shifts when you're not as much into the food. And I can tell. True Triple D fans know. And I'm not going to call anything out, but I see it. I know it and I can feel it when I go, I'll literally turn to my wife and go, he doesn't like it. You're literally just broke into something there for a second. I can act in this thing. I can tell. Yeah. I can tell he doesn't like it. I know. No. Okay. So you're a little bit right in this. Yeah. Okay. If I don't like it, you don't see it. Right. You cut it. You cut out right. If you- So if I don't like it, you don't see it. Right. There's been a few times when we've gone to some joints where you haven't seen it, but that ended long ago. There's a difference between, well, we'll take you guys. There's a difference between- Wait, hold on. Long your horses. Yeah. Yeah. I got to make sure I throw these shits. Again, I'm still just getting over the fear of walking into the dead. Okay. All right. Okay. Why'd you lock the door when I walked in? Just in case. Just in case. Just in case. It's a lock. Locked the door and took my keys. Yeah. Oh, thanks, by the way, to go to the bathroom. You have to have the P key. Yeah. The P keys. Well- We locked it because there's going to be calamari time later. Okay, my friend. Welcome to Leather Cheerio. All right. All right. Okay. So it's kind of like you guys. It's the- There's sometimes you love. Right. Sometimes you really like. Sometimes you like and sometimes you're okay. And there's a lot of things that- Like, I see all the recipes. I know everything that I'm going to taste before. I pick it all. I pick the restaurants, my team and I do. But then I really get down to the nitty gritty and say what I'm going to try. So I usually know before I get there if something is going to be in the right space, in the right technique, and so forth. There's certain foods I love. Certain foods I'm okay with. Certain foods. Like I'm not a big gravy guy. No. But I'm a huge Asian food fan. Playcating. Playcating. Massive. Yeah, okay. But I'm also Italian and everything. Okay, good. Thank you. Italian. Can you make sushi? I can make sushi. I was, I came down. Matter of fact, I came down to LA 20 years ago and studied sushi to open my first restaurant. Or one of my first restaurants. Wow. Which is called Tex Wasabi's. Southern barbecue and sushi. Wow. Wow. I want that. It was so badass. Because my wife didn't like sushi. And my son, Hunter and I, Ryder wasn't born yet. Hunter and I love sushi. And barbecue restaurants didn't really have the, so I thought I'll make the ambiance. And the different styles of food. And I'll put in a fun, loud, rock and roll joint. Yeah. It's called rock and roll sushi barbecue. Yeah. And we kicked ass for a long time. It was a great thing. I don't know. I mean, when you mix two, I don't know. When you mix like, I'll, I mean, I'm going to be a clientele. You're mixing, you're Korean and American. That's a mix. That's a good mix. Nobody in terms of foods. Hey man, I'll take a, my name is Billy. I love the guy. I love you for the rest of the shit. But anyway, what I want to say is I'll take some barbecue ribs, right, and get me some sashimi. Why not? No, if fucks your, my stomach goes, no. No, no, no. It's delicious. Just to be clear on that, you wouldn't do the barbecue before you did the sashimi. That's right. Can you go to a Japanese restaurant? It's about what you go put out first. Oh my God. I know that. I think you're right. I think you're right. It's what you put out first. It's what you put out first. Oh my God. You're so good. Tell me. You think this guy became the mayor of Flavortown in an accident? He was voted in. He voted in. He was voted in. The masses agree. You oftentimes will have like a little bit of an appetizer, little fish, something before you have a meat dish. This is very common when you go out. You get it wrong. You get it wrong first. And you're not, your palate is, is, it's more subtle. I mean, if you go to a Japanese restaurant and you're going to have Konichiwa. If you're going to have Hamachi, you're going to have Nagiti, you're going to have, you're going to have, you know, a Maki roll or whatever it may be, then you move in. If you go and have something. You prefer Nagiri or sashimi? It really depends on what my car boat is. You know, I mean, I think when the fish is fantastic, I'll have just sashimi. Fuck yeah. When it's good fish, oh, maybe just have a little rice to it. Right. Right. You know, but again, that's a thing like how fresh is it? Is it the type of fish? I'm a huge Meguro fan, you know, anything in that tuna family. Where the hell did we start with this? No, we go wherever we want. Oh, we're back at, we're back at Triple D. Yeah. So back to the Triple D thing. So sometimes you bite into something. Yeah. It's like it's songs on an album. Okay. Oh, I love it. I'm now, yeah. Compare this to a great album that you love. Yeah. Give me a great album here. Give us a great album from your, either your childhood. Give us an album that you love. ACDC back in black. A phenomenal. All right. Phenomenal. That's got. Now this is kind of like dish world for you. You see back in black as serving and food and appetite, don't you? That's it. That's it. It's an, it's a culmination of all. Now I will say that my palate has grown to love every goddamn black and black song. Sure. You know, but it's that way. But when you hear back in black, when that, you just, I mean, it invokes the party. It reminds you of all the great things and bad things you've done. You know, back in black is that song. Yeah. So it's kind of along those lines that there's certain you'll hear an album, you're one of your favorite bands to count with an album, and you'll be like, man, I love that one. Okay. On that, but it'll grow on you. Right. So, but in the world of triple D, there is like, lose my mind, love something like something, and good with something. Good with something. Is that restaurant still there? The one that I didn't like? No, no, the one that with the sushi and the bar and the bar. Because you're original. No, no, Tex or Sabi's. It's not, but it might come back one day. Bring it back. Bring it back. I bring a lot of those. So my style of being a chef is I just cook what I like to eat. Right. And it drives my wife nuts. I'll come home and I'll be on the road for two or three weeks and I'll come back and I'll just start cooking and she'll be like, what are we having? And I'm like, well, don't you want to have Philly cheesesteaks and also some egg rolls? And then I'm also going to do some sashimi. And then I thought on top of that, I get some braised oxtails. And then she goes, what, what, what is it? And I go, I'm just all of these things have been floating in my head. I'm hungry. God, that's awesome. I mean, when you're eating all those things, sashimi, all this, you know what I mean? I'm going to do another AC DC. Please do another ACD for your. This doesn't have a blast in the back. Blast in the back. Blast in the back. Which is the second album they never released. But I did buy a bootleg. Yeah, yeah. If I mix them, sometimes I get the D, the big D. You've got some other. What's up? Why are you laughing? Sometimes the AC is not there, but the DC. You might have some other dietary issues going on. Well, he's not ozempic and that's restricted him a little bit. He's fantastic though. I mean, I got to give you credit, man. Thank you. Whatever you do. I'd be using it? Yeah, no. But I'm just looking at you going, you're definitely keeping your. Well, he's keeping. We're bringing. No, you have water. You have water. No, I do have water. No, I want lighter. I was trying to get Ian to get off his ass. Oh, yeah, yeah. You're my lighter. Get a lighter. So wait a minute. You're, you're saying, you're saying that you think. You're not Ian. No, he's one of ours. You're the weird guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Guy, how old are you? How do you think? 43. God, you're a good man. No, but how old are you? Because you, okay. Let the man smoke, dude. We've never had a cigar lit in here. This is the first. It's great. Yeah, it's great. I love it. Amazing. What are we talking? Amazing smart ass. Go back to Spain. Yeah. Guy, how he wants to know how old you are. Do you do we need to? So I got 43. 43, what do you got? 50 on the nose. 50 on the nose. 57. Wow. I can't fuck up. Unbelievable, dude. Wow. Thank you. For a white guy, you guys should be kind of a lot, man. This is pure white. This is the purest form. Ladies and gentlemen, Guy Fury is the purest form of white you can get. That's good white. Yeah. In a restaurant, dude, you're high end, dude. You know what I mean? If I was at a fucking, let me say something. If I was at a white, you know what I mean, robot factory and they sell whites, you'd be the one I would buy. When would you buy me? You wouldn't? You're in the fucking bin. I'm in the discount bin. Discount bin? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I got to say something. I got to give credit. I come from a family of redheads. My little sister was a redhead. So that's my, that's two of my sister. My mom's a redhead. My aunt Polly's a redhead. Love. Ian's a redhead. Love. My cousin's. So tons of redheads. I never got the redhead. But the boys aren't. Your boys aren't right here. No, no, little riders kind of a toehead. Hunter was a toehead all at a young age. But I got to be honest, not, there's red, there's a redhead strain. You're in that is like the, that's a dominant redhead. Yeah. I don't know why you bring so much comfort to me, but you do. I want to thank you very much. I hate, you know, already this is what's happening. And now I have to choose a sign. Right. There's a bond here. Okay. I feel a fucking separation. Do not feel that. Yeah, I feel it, dude. No. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel, you know what, dude? I, you know what? We met before we met. Yeah. We met before we met. What does that mean? Is that sort of monkey philosophy? We met before we met. Yeah. Guy, this is, this is called victim complex. This is what he does. He plays the victim all the time, even though there is nothing going on other than me complimenting our guest saying, I actually am a real fan. We've had people on the show that I'm not a huge fan of. I'm just trying to cause controversy. You don't need to. You know what I mean? Yeah, I tell you, I like conflict. All right, well, keep going. Yeah, I like conflict. Okay. They keep going. I feel like I'm here as a counselor. Like should I work together? Let's coomba. Yeah, my parents were hippies. Let's have a moment. Yeah. Hey, but listen, you're born in 71. Yeah. And then how'd you know that? Come on. He can see it in your eyes. No. Oh. Your age difference of the two of you, I mean, now he's going to be pissed. I thought you guys were. Yeah. No, no, no. Yeah. Yeah. People do. Exactly. I'm 42. It's just my my physical, my mental maturity is that of someone much older. It is very.

But is there in the food network world that you're in? Is there a chef that you're just like, I don't really like that guy. I know who it is. I don't really like that guy. Wow, this is, this is deep. Who is it? He's like Chang, dude. He's like who? David Chang, dude. David Chang? You don't like Dave Chang? I see David's picture up there. Yeah, he's up there. He's up there. He's our boy, dog. Have you ever had beef with someone in that world? Yeah. Curtis Stone. Come on, baby. No, I just had Curtis on my show the other day. I will tell you a funny thing about David and David and I are, we are friends. We love him. And matter of fact, I have him getting ready to come judge on one of my shows. Such an amazing chef, an amazing chef and a chef that like, you know, as chefs, and I think you guys have it the same thing in the world of media and podcasts and all that you do, you have people you look at and go, man, I wish I had that talent or I wish I knew that you're, or they're so funny or they're so, I mean, you're pretty Harvey on the witty line of it. And you're definitely funny on the let it all hang out line. You know, you guys have. He was going to show you his butthole. Well, I've never been on anybody's show that offered to show me the leather Cheerio. So I mean, that's just, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, I wasn't really going to do it. Is your, is your new special going to be called the leather Cheerio? That's so good. Harry bubblegum up next. Smooth. There's no hair on it. It is, but he gets a shave. But tell me, no. So the funny thing was, is I don't know that David, David and I didn't know each other. And I don't know that he always thought the most of me, but when the pandemic hit and we did that big fund, I did a big fundraiser for restaurant workers and I raised 26, almost $27 million for restaurant workers. Wow. And it's unbelievable. And I started, and we gave out these $500 grants to restaurants. So like 45,000 restaurant workers got these free $500 grants. Now no one's going to pay their rent with 500 bucks, but it was more about the restaurant industry getting a recognition and a hug from somebody in the business that said, Hey, we know you're going through bad times, tough times is horrible time for everybody. But here's a hug. You know, here's some money. And I just remember reading an article that David had talked about and said, wow, that's really a cool thing that guy did. And we never really had any interaction prior to that. But now we've talked several times, actually never hung out and got, you know, got crazy. But I'm looking forward to it. But as a chef, the way I respect him and what he cooks and the books I sent him a picture the other day. I had the have you got his new ramen noodles? Yeah, he sent it to me. Oh, oh, he sent it. I had to buy mine. Yeah. But he didn't tell us he goes, guy will buy. That's what he wrote in the same way. I shoplifted them at the guy's grocery games market. I do my best shoplifting ever. But I brought him and I took a picture and I sent it to him and I said, they're on the shelf and he's like, that's cool. Wow. That is read. That's awesome. You know, we, we love him. You know, we, he was great to us. I'm always curious because like in our comic world, the reason I ask is because like it's not that there's beef, but there's guys that you just don't know that there's like a, Oh, there's beef. Well, he has beef. No, you do. Your beef God. You have some beef. You're the beef God. I could throw out some names and we'll cause a fight. Do it. We'll blank it out. No. Okay. You have some beef. You have some beef. All right. You know that. You have beef. You don't have beef. Yeah. You couldn't name one beef I have right now. I could name a couple of beef for you. Okay, dude. Anyway, you're out of pocket. Anyway, so you have the beef. Go ahead. Keep going. I can walk. I'm sorry. We have these problems. This is the nature of the show. Yeah. This is why we're in love because this is what brings us together because this is kind of the true. The reason- Tell him the Jimmy Kimmel story. What? That we just did now? The sentimental one. Oh, I just told the Jimmy Kimmel story. He made fun of me. He mocked me because I did Kimmel last time. Anyway. He doesn't like legacy media. He likes our world. He doesn't like the old world, which is ironic. He is very old world, but he doesn't like it and he was mocking me. Talk about the comedy. I'm sorry I interrupted you. The comedy beef. No, I was saying there's a connection between the world that you guys work in because we've met a couple of chefs through friends that we know. I do know there is a competitive nature to it and there's always a biddy. I don't like that that guy or girl does it that way. I don't like that they think that that's the way to- And they kind of have- Like, you know who says very controversial stuff in the chef world all the time? Jose Andres. Andres says stuff like this is the only way to do it. Now watch clips and he'll criticize when people do it some other way. And a lot of times I agree with him a little bit and I'm like, this guy must have beef and do people kind of not like him? Am I wrong? Okay, let's sum a few things up. Okay. Jose Okay. First and foremost, if you don't have beef in your world, if you don't have like judgment of things, then you're not really paying attention. Everybody likes something and doesn't like something so forth. Jose Sure. And unfortunately, we've been so pasteurized as a culture. If you say anything out of place, then definitely someone's gonna, then now you're gonna get hated on and so forth and so on. So me, I was raised by hippies. My mom and dad were hip redhead. Jose Yeah. Jose My parents, so we didn't really get into that. If I have a beef, I settle the beef. I don't really go around with grudges. I don't have any time. Jose Good for you. Jose And I also want to carry bad energy. So that's one of the things. When I came onto the network, I was the first guy that kind of came in that was just, you know, going balls out with tattoos, bleach, tear, earring, so forth. They looked at me like, ah, is this the guy we want to put on? That's why they put me on Saturday mornings at eight o'clock. So not everybody was signing on to my style, which is okay, because I was the new guy and that's, that's the way it was. That sense of, you know, outlasted any of that. But when it comes to someone like chef Andres, he is the OG. Jose He is. Jose If he wants to say the sky is pink today, it's pink today. You know, that's kind of, we kind of, we kind of let it go. Jose I like that. Jose And he has done so much. That guy deserves a Nobel Peace Prize. What he has done. My foundation, the guy, we support veterans, first responders, first responders, active military in our country. I'm a big patriot. I love our country. We live in the greatest country in the world. And but Jose has taken it to another level. His humanitarian efforts that he does around the world and the way he's been able to unify chefs from every country. I mean, all I can do is if the guy says the sky is pink, okay. The sky is pink. Have you met him? Oh, dear friend. Oh, wow. Dear friend. Yeah. And, and, and matter of fact, it was a funny story how we became friends. Someone told me that I offended him. And I felt horrible. Oh, my God. One, because I do believe in the respect of the generation. Okay. And not that he's much older than me. We talk about that. But he. In comedy. We talk about the eldership in comedy. It is a thing. I respect deeply. Yeah, we do. We really do. Yeah. Yeah. I get what you're saying. Yeah. Yeah. I had someone had said that I had offended him. So I do, you know, a million people like give me Jose's number, please. Don't tell anybody I gave it to you. Oh, one of those. Yeah. So I finally called him. I called him like 10 times and left a message and said, Chef, I'd really appreciate a chance to speak to you. Da, da, da. So I'm in the middle of filming. I'm doing my show. I did a cooking show called guys big bite. I'm in the middle of filming. My phone's blowing up. So finally in the middle of the show, I just pick it up and I look at it and it's Jose Andreas because I saved the number. Yeah. And I'm like cut and I run over to the side of my because I filmed it. My backyard. And I go, Chef Andreas. And he goes, yeah, I'm sorry. I haven't got back. I don't I won't do my no, no. No, no. Good. That was really good. I was there. I was in Spain. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. You took me back to do it for the show. I'm sorry. I did not call you back. I am being very busy and traveling and there you go. That's very good. Very good. Good. So I said, I heard that I had offended you and he goes, no, no, no, no. Let me explain. I had gone to his event at the food wine festival. And when I came into the event, I travel with a pretty big group of friends. All my friends from growing up and all my friends before I got on TV are still all my best friends. So you're like the Kevin Hart of cooking people. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's true. It's true. Yeah. Brings the crew. So you're black. I bring the 80 people outside. Yeah, it was 80 people. So I bring a big group because I want, listen, if I'm going to go do something awesome, I want my friends to come and experience it. Right now. That's just the way I've always been. So he said, when you came in, I wanted to come say hi to you, but I couldn't get past all the people. And it was kind of a, you know, and it was his party. And I said, chef, I am so embarrassed and I am so sorry. He goes, no, no, no, no, no. It came out of, somebody had said it the wrong way and didn't. He goes, no, I have no problem. And he goes, but you've tried, you've called me. And you've, and he goes, that is the most wonderful. And from then on, we have been the greatest of friends. And I have nothing. Matter of fact, you got a text. That's a story, dude. He's the man. Yeah. Yeah. That's a story. No, I'm a, that's a story. That's a story. That is. But I think that is something I would rather know if somebody thinks I did him wrong or sent him over and, you know, face our, face our situations. Because so many times, like texting is the worst one because you send a text, you can't put the emotion or the expression in it. And sometimes it can be misrepresented. Yeah. It's represented. And I think that I would just rather, I just feel that do me the, you know, do me the solid. And if I pissed you off, because I'm great at doing that, then just tell me. Just tell me. And I'll either fix it. I don't think you could ever piss me off. I try not to. I think you're a straight up guy. You're a gunslinger. What you see is what you get. Right down here. And I feel the same way. What you see, what you get. Okay. What you see, what you get. It sounds like you're in a brothel. What you see, what you get. What you see, what you get. Now give me the two dollars. Why did he go to Fantasy Island right then? That's where he's from. The plane, the plane. Boss, what you see, what you get. You know what's interesting? I want to hold it because I know you guys do your list of your top five and all the funny moments. You got to do one of the top 10 accents. So maybe you've already done it. Oh, well. But accents are so good. His arm. You know what I love about this, what you guys are doing and thank God you're doing it, is you play in a free zone. You don't pull punches and you don't hold the reins back and you give people, if you don't like it, don't listen to it. That's right. And some people don't like it. You don't subscribe to it. If you think that it's hateful or negative or demean, don't listen. Right. But what we're doing is, I don't even think that way. What we're doing is the way we talk. To each other anyway. In back of the comedy store. It's real life. Yeah. I don't want to. Why would I fake it? No, well, I'll say this. I've always said this for years. People may find the show. They may go, that's not my style or my flavor. But the truth really is when we're fucking around and talking shit to each other, there's the love is beneath it. I imagine you come from a world where you and your friends, you talk shit, you fuck around. So we kind of just brought that to this thing just because that's how we always are. And I think it rung true because people were like, oh, yeah, we do. I don't think they want saccharine. They just want the real deal. Yeah. There's no, look, it's a show. Everyone has to build a show. When it is produced, it's a show. When you said people were a little off put, like, who's this guy coming to our network, this wild dude who wears jewelry and tattoos. Yeah, you know what I mean? It's like, yeah, they were fucking shocked. But are you a mind? What is going on with your hands today? Well, it's just like, you know, no more so. See? Yeah. But you bring something real. I think that's what the people like. And that's one of the things that I think we need to preach more about in society is, you know, start, you know, my read, who's my COO, my company, big fan of you guys. And we were talking about it. He goes, you know what's so great about these guys is they don't. He just farted. That was that was so awesome. God damn it, Bobby. Please tell me that the mic picked that up. Yeah, I heard it. I heard it. I heard it. By the way, Reed, he's talking about Reed who likes the show. I don't like Reed. That one. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. When Reed is, when you bring his name up, I can't. By the way, Reed is reading. Reed 6'8". Yeah, I saw him. Yeah. The glasses. Yeah. Fuck that guy. This is Reed's big moment. He's listening to the show and all I hear is, Oh, guys talking to my Isaac. And then Reed loves you guys. We're going to be the hour. My god. I can't believe you heard that. Oh, he's a big beef. You know what? Hey, when that dries, it's going to itch. Yeah. And you're going to scratch it. Oh, no. Reed, give us Reed. Tell me. Yeah, so Reed was just saying because it's great to see people that are kind of They're just saying screw it. This is what who we are this what we do like it like you don't like it You know and gosh, it's just great to hear people getting back to being who they are having fun man Exactly.

That's right because I will if we were drinking tequila this you and I we Should have been over everybody go get some Guy I'll go get it right now. I'll go pull open that. Yeah. Um, no, we don't really you know, we're Christian in many ways. Yes and recognizing sobriety. Yeah. Yeah. I'm you know, it's sober. You know, I mean, I just you know Rabbit holes. I don't know we go down some dark rabbit holes But the fun thing about us is you don't need to go down. Yeah, we go down it by ourselves We're like the what's the summer push down it? Yeah, some people get pushed down the searchlighter You know people that go down first to go dig it out. We were the explorers We try it didn't they know rabbit holes rabbit holes. Yeah, they think the rabbit holes you're getting what he get tired What are you getting tired? You're throwing out bullshit cuz you're getting tired Cut it the fuck out. By the way, I love this hat you were in this like childish la Dodgers hats my favorite thing you Yeah, thank you. Thank you. I love that hat. Thank you because you know childish It was too small. It's just like a kid would get it at the game Yeah, cuz you know they make the child the youth size that is what that is. That's a youth side I went to the kids department Some dating advice, please All right, so I've been married for 30 years, but yeah, go right ahead. I'm real you know, but I feel like you're like Yoda in that way Okay, okay, okay, so um Would you date somebody? You know, I mean that your friend liked hmm? I think the code is you have to get clearance You have to go to the friend. You have to get clearance clearance. Yeah, you do you think? Cuz because that's the monkey philosophy the branch thing that he said was the same is there a girl that you like that your friend is that Hypothetically, okay name Linda. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So if you know your friend like you've dated girls that have also dated your friends Well, here's the reputation that I have right. I'm dating a girl right now Who is the ex of a of another friend of another comedian right and now there's a rumor like all Bobby dates exes So yeah, but is how is that wrong see but here's my this might I'm gonna get your answer But here's my philosophy. They're no longer with that person. I hope they've moved on Why is it inappropriate for you to date them cuz some guys are like, you know, they they they're territorial. That's their problem If the girl has moved on and she wants to date you but you don't want to burn the bridge with the you know I mean the guy who cares then he's a week. You gotta you gotta check here. You gotta check your Status, I mean if it was a week ago, yeah, probably not right about what about five days Last night No, I think the thing is is you got to check the credibility of the buddy because they don't own that person That's right and the reality even that's why I said you go to me to say hey listen I know that you guys had a thing just tell you know, I'm interested and To me, I think that's respectful, but I don't think by any means is you know again timing is the biggest timing is it But I timing is life. But how about this? Yes, how about this? Do if it's an ex-wife a little bit more murky. That's darker water. So if your wife, yeah, you guys got a divorce I would fucking kill you You would kill me I would slit your throat three years out the road. I don't give a three years down the road I don't give a fuck if it's a thousand years. I'd come back And I'd kill you you're you can't date your friend's ex-wife ex-girlfriend is different to me So like if I did it you're if you got a divorce and I did stop he's gonna fucking kill you You're not gonna kill me with spatulas Think Guy Fieri it can't fuck you up Oh, no, dude, so out of pocket dude. So okay, so that's you all right. I honestly I mean and I That's me real this I wouldn't kill you I wouldn't kill you. Yeah, but I would slowly torture the shit out of you So you wanted to kill yourself. Oh Okay, right. Yes, so Medieval on your okay. Okay. All right. So pope fix you. Yeah. Yeah, right. What if I would invite some What if you guys all am you amicably? No, do amicably married can you spell that? Yeah, no, yeah, I don't know how dinosaur. I can't even say it But yeah, I'm a couple yeah amicably amicably amicably amicably okay, so what but but married is a different stage If why because you could that's a bigger commitment than someone who just dated you just dated someone's just dating somebody But if your friend married someone got a divorce you can't date their ex-wife if it's a real friend if it's not a real friend Can I go to you? I call you up. What's up guides Bob? You're gonna go who? For sure. You mean I'm gonna go Lee. I don't know Right, then I'll say bad friends on that. Yeah, and then I go philanthropy Listen, I'm coming to you for ever the flanthropus. Yeah, yeah the philanthropist I'm coming to you first right and I want to be a man-to-man a man Man-o-e-man-o. Okay, and I want to say to you, you know, I met your ex at a bar and I haven't done anything yet, but can I get your? Permission permission. Okay You're gonna he's saying not his ex-wife is an ex-girlfriend. No, he's ex-wife. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah, so it depends I think okay There's a really good question there because if you had a really bad divorce and you don't like the person anymore And they want to let you go through hell with her Bobby color I'll give you Where she lives Otherwise I want to show you my collection of needle nose pliers Okay, well, I will never gonna do that. That's right. I would never do that now. I know and you same thing Yeah, brother, you know better. Okay, you know, but also ex-girlfriend I think is I think you if you're interested in a friend's ex-girlfriend. That's so fine. Why I don't see the problem there Because it's someone they dated if they've moved on like adults now there could be a thing Let's say it was a five-year relationship five years not long enough. Okay, but it's a long relationship Next week's not okay. Maybe next month not okay. I think give it a little time a year give it a year But give it a year man That and I think in I think of respectful just hey man Just want to let you know because the last thing they want to find out is find out the wrong way then that would be a weird Yeah, and it just hypothetical in the hell are you asking me this shit because let's talk about what to do with those darn holiday leftovers or something I don't know much about food Okay, that's an eat leftovers. Yeah, I don't need time out. Yeah, you want to get that joke out clean? Yeah Yeah, go ahead get that joke out. This is what he does go ahead Bobby doesn't eat leftovers very good very good very good subtitle this I'm asking you because you seem like a guy that knows yeah, you know Because guy seems like he's got he's got knowledge you have knowledge about life about life lot about life Yeah, ask him another live question aside from food Bobby doesn't he like I mean How can we not get rid of this guy after all this it's it's unbelievable by the way guy for the record this gentleman here He's sick again.
