[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.

    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.

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!
