The Jekyll & Hyde conversation is funny solely because of them getting the characters confused.
McLovin standing in for Fancy cracks me up🤣😂
Bobby is 10000% not doing that cruise next year. He can’t even show up to his shows 10 mins away from him 😂
Not even kidding, his sandwich shop absolutely rules. Insanely affordable for NYC and the menu is so well crafted. If anyone finds themselves in the city & going around to comedy clubs, it’s a fantastic spot to pop in.
Bobby Lee having an off the grid personal assistant is the funniest shit in the world😂😂😂
“Well well well look who’s working” might be one of the nicest things I’ve ever heard Bobby do that would’ve meant so much to me

Derosa's sandwich joint in NY is so fire. And AFFORDABLE!
Steve Wozniak prints out his own two dollar bills
You couldn't cast a more perfect crew than the gremlins in the booth. Hysterical.
