[RE-UPLOAD] Bobby Lee, Can You Go Beyond the Comedy? | Ep 5 | Soul Boom
Comedian and actor Bobby Lee (Tigerbelly & Bad Friends podcasts) joins Rainn Wilson for a profound conversation exploring spirituality, redemption, and the intricacies of human emotion. 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 discusses the false spiritual experience that performing onstage can often give him. The two delve into how different, seemingly meaningless encounters with certain individuals throughout life can be transformative.

Seeing this side of Bobby was a treat. What a great guy.

It's great to have men talking about mental problems, it's an almost forbidden subject, as if we all have an obligation to be strong and cold all the time. thank you Rainn and Bobby for opening this door for us
I’m doing pretty bad going through active addiction right now. You both are beautiful souls. Thank you for giving me some direction and comfort even if only for an hour

Bobby Lee is the real one. Fucking love how honest he is about everything.
Rainn can you please get Eckhart Tolle on the podcast?? Edit: I imagine it would be very slow paced but I’m here for it!
I thought the glitching was Bobby Lee just being Bobby Lee 😂

I met Bobby over the weekend at the Comedy Store. He was super gracious and approachable. It made my night! Slept King soldier for life❤
Rainn, you have a gift at stripping the artifice from people through presence alone and it's so loving and beautiful to witness. As much as comedians may feel that what they offer is trivial, it isn't and the love people have for people like Bobby and Rick (mentioning because it really was surprising and delighting to see him present without the bits similarly to Bobby here) and the genuine wish for their well being and capacity to receive real approbation is true for a lot of people. I'll spend my life attempting to be this gentle and authentic in my conversations with others and take some notes from your way.
You guys are helping young people through helping us old people discuss the hardships and traps in life. Thank you for the discussion!
I always enjoy hearing Bobby be real, and talk about relatable issues. This is a good pod, just got a new subscriber
This podcast was my first intro to Rainns pod because of Bobby but the glitches made me sad. I'm glad to watch this again
Didn't catch it the first time but I started watching bad friends a few months ago and this popped up today. Very happy to see Bobby being vulnerable and real even on BadFriends he gets just to the edge of vulnerability and out pops a joke. ❤
Thank you Rainn 🙏
I'd double thumbs up if I could; everyone behind the scenes, we thank you!
Rainn you are an icon! I adore Dwight and love Rainn even more!
I love this podcast in the background. Its thought provoking and funny without being too heavy. Been struggling with addiction and spirituality for all my adult life so I love it
Thank you two for being you. I appreciate you with my whole heart.
Have him back again!!! Love Bobby Lee
The vibe between the two of you is comforting. Great interview with Bobby. Thank you!!!
Appreciate the quality control effort! Thanks Rainn
GLTICH-FREEEEEEEEEE!!!!! 🙌🌈💞✨️ Thank You tons!!! 😊🙏💞
Thank you for the reupload!!
I’m 18 minutes into this podcast just subscribed this so far has been amazing. Both of you guys are great thank you for this.
This is the combination of two guys we didn't know we needed 👌😁
Excellent podcast. EXCELLENT to see Bobby comfortable and talking. Rainn, I'm gonna get your book dude. This is the pod I need.
Yessss! I can't wait to rewatch this after work. I grew up with both of you guys.
Best episode yet!!
Nothing but love to yall 🤍
thank you for the re-up! I'm watching again now. 🙂
Definitely watching again ❤️
Thanks for the re-up. Namaste and watch to the end!
I have thought about how really deep and observant some comics are and the brilliant ways in which they connect our common human experiences. Real philosophers. Laughter is the best medicine. I am always grateful for conversations like this one. Thank you kindly, Bobby and Rainn✨️💛
I really appreciate the reupload, this conversation was too great to be missing pieces.
Thank y'all so much!!! Between my ADD and OCD it was difficult for me to retain anything with the original. This podcast is beautiful.
Much appreciated willing to rewatch forsure!!!

Beautiful listen, thanks Rainn, for everything. The Office and Dwight especially got me through my darkest times and whenever I'm struggling i just put it on and it helps more than anything else. This is great
Yay! Reuploaded! No more glitches!!! You guys rock!
Binging the office and I’m a huge Bobby Lee fan. Couldn’t have come at a better time! 4 years sober from alcohol. You guys are a huge inspiration to me!
I love the whole conversation you guys had. This channel is so underrated, must be more popular. Greetings from Istanbul Rainn!
Son of a glitch! I was halfway through the old version! ❤ Thanks for this ep with thee Slept King!
Thank you so much. Appreciate you
thanks bud. Happy to relisten. Killer show.

Such a great conversation. I love when people are vulnerable!! Thanks Bobby Lee for sharing your journey with us.
Great podcast! Thank you both!
Thank you for the re-upload. I was enjoying it, and I thought the glitch was on my end, so think makes me happy!
This is my third time watching not even gonna lie
This is great rain. This podcast is so important and I love seeing you!
Love Bobby Lee! Thanks for having him on!
Actual meaningful content! This is very refreshing.
Thank you for re uploading this. It was painful before but the content was so good I persisted
Awesome. Great insight.
This was helpful, thanks for the upload.
What a great podcast. I’m glad I came across this, good shit Rainn Wilson👊🏽👏🏽.
Thanks for the reupload.
Great episode. Thanks for reuploading without the glitches
I really enjoyed this Rainn. Thanks for the reupload - allowed me to get more immersed. This podcast is quickly becoming one of my favorites.
Bobby is the best podcast guest where ever he goes Mushroom Dwight is great too!
I thought the glitch was on my end. Thank you!
I can't remember which guest drew me in, but I decided to listen. And now I've listened to 3-4 podcasts this week. They are a nice breathe of fresh air. The vulnerability, openness and intellectual conversations that happen organically are so refreshing. Both the guests and Rainn might bring up a topic and are able to discuss freely. I enjoy challenging how I think or analyzing life as a whole more than just taking things for face value. Great work so far!
Wonderful episode. So much respect for both these men.
I love Bobby Lee so much and I’m so happy to see that he’s having the best year of his life. I hope so much more for him. He deserves it. I love seeing him in this different light on this podcast.
I thought it was just on my end. Thanks for the re upload
Loved the authenticity here between you both 🙌🏼
It fills my heart to hear this deeply authentic conversation! Thank you for making soul-centered content! ❤❤❤❤❤
I love bobby❤❤ there so many layers to the host I love that too 😊

A man of the people! Thanks for fixing it.
