Tim plays and reacts to an actual Bobby Lee interview clip describing threatening phone calls he says he received, then muses on whether Brendan Schaub really has a "goon squad" and whether the allegations are fair given Tim's own positive experiences with Schaub.
- Tim explains this is news he has to cover because of potential fallout from a situation with Bobby Lee.
- The issue was supposedly resolved after a promise Bobby wouldn't discuss it again, but he went on Flagrant 2 and talked about it anyway.
- There was a text from Bobby's team alluding to possibly suing people over the misunderstanding.
- Bobby received a call from a comedian people assumed was him, trying to pick up women at his podcast.
- It wasn't just one person — a group of podcasters called Bobby threatening to expose him and ruin his career.
- Bobby was alone at dinner in Oklahoma when he got the calls, and describes the experience as very traumatic.
- Tim notes Brendan Schaub has always been nice to him and his experiences have been overwhelmingly positive.
- Brendan Schaub is not the heir to Richard Pryor and probably never will be.
- Tim has never seen Brendan's standup and describes him as a very controversial figure.
- Brendan is very new to standup, and it takes years to become good at it, sometimes it never happens at all.
