    Bobby Lee: I Wish I Knew
    Oct 29 2026
    Bobby Lee joins Neal Brennan to share what he wishes he knew sooner: worrying about his career wouldn’t change its course, asking for help mattered, and the life he built could look different from the one he imagined. He still likes the MadTV tattoo, though. They talk about Bobby’s first stand-up special, learning to watch himself on screen, sobriety, his father’s death, and the unexpected emotional impact of a trip to Build-A-Bear. Plus: homemade glue hands, a swimming pool full of coffee, Neal’s place in the comedy police, and whether he’s allowed to speak at Bobby’s funeral. -------------------------- CHAPTERS 0:00 Aging and Korean Skincare 1:16 The LeBron James of Podcasting 3:20 Navigating Hollywood and the Comedy Police 9:39 Why Bobby Waited to Make a Stand-Up Special 20:29 Wishing He Worried Less 23:35 Gluin' 26:02 Filling His Swimming Pool With Coffee 30:18 Sobriety 33:23 Sensitivity, Shane Gillis, and Public Shame 36:13 Learning to Be Proud of Himself 40:25 Why Bobby Avoids Negative Comments 42:40 Was All That Worry Worth It? 48:14 Sponsor: Lucy 51:07 The Real Bobby Versus His Public Persona 52:35 Letting Go of the Movie-Star Dream 53:19 Losing His Father and Relapsing 57:38 Asking for Help and Starting Therapy 59:42 Recognizing Childhood Trauma 1:01:02 Intensive Therapy and Build-A-Bear 1:04:39 Porn, Relationships, and Regret 1:10:22 Family, Self-Blame, and Avoiding Conflict 1:12:04 Can Neal Speak at Bobby’s Funeral? 1:13:28 The Future of Bad Friends and TigerBelly ---------------------------------------------------------- Follow Neal Brennan: https://www.instagram.com/nealbrennan https://twitter.com/nealbrennan https://www.tiktok.com/@mrnealbrennan Watch Neal Brennan: Crazy Good on Netflix: https://www.netflix.com/title/81728557 Watch Neal Brennan: Blocks on Netflix: https://www.netflix.com/title/81036234 Theme music by Electric Guest (unreleased).
