  • 5:05 Getting called out on New York streets (Bobby Lee) — Since his viral Down syndrome story, people in New York point at him and say it out loud, so he has to wave back.
  • 9:05 Getting bumped at the Improv (Bobby Lee) — Still sore that Sam bumped ahead of him years ago, when Leno was there and his 8:10 spot slid past 9.

  • 1:36:14 Yellowstone’s daughter character — So over the top it isn’t believable, like a violent, dumbed-down Succession.
  • 1:40:16 People ripping Khalyla online (Bobby Lee) — He’s tired of online trolls treating his breakup as a soap opera. It hurts him.
