Bobby Lee claims he founded the "Total F***ing Loser" movement and that every beautiful woman he's ever dated only liked him because her dad had Vietnam War PTSD.
TL;DR
Bobby Lee and Andrew Santino celebrate Mexico's FIFA World Cup win, debate whether more public shaming should follow athletic losses, and get into a lengthy riff on Bobby's self-proclaimed TFL ("Total F***ing Loser") movement and whether he's objectively handsome [1] — Bobby Lee "Bobby reveals he co-founded the TFL (Total F***ing Loser) movement before the internet, and found fellow members via TikTok years later. On…" 18:10 . Guest Jimmy Tatro (Netflix's *The Hawk*) drops in to weigh in on the looks debate, talk Will Ferrell, diet, cholesterol, growing up in Venice Beach, and a neighbor's dog leaving a massive driveway surprise [2] — Jimmy Tatro "Jimmy grew up in Venice Beach with a crew straight out of Lords of Dogtown: a Mexican best friend, a Black best friend, and an older troubl…" 55:40 . Best takeaway: Bobby's shame-based philosophy is his actual success strategy.
Bobby Lee and Andrew Santino react to Mexico's FIFA World Cup win, debate the case for more public shaming of losing national teams, and spiral into a long exploration of Bobby's self-declared 'TFL (Total F***ing Loser)' movement. Guest Jimmy Tatro joins to weigh in on Bobby's looks, discuss his new Netflix show The Hawk with Will Ferrell, share Venice Beach childhood stories, and swap tales of dog poop etiquette.
The conversation kicks off with Andrew confessing he's been watching more soccer than ever and Bobby recounting the scenes at Wii Spa, where Mexican staff abandoned towel duty to watch the match. The hosts riff on the North Hollywood riots — donuts, broken stuff, a man with what they joke is 'Agent Orange' on his face — before pivoting to Messi. Bobby insists Messi is undisputably the greatest soccer player ever, a sentiment Andrew almost concedes before pointing out he's 40 years old and still cooking 19-year-olds. They marvel at his physique, celebrate his wife as the gold standard of WAGs, and Andrew muses about wanting to 'cuck' the situation. The segment closes with Bobby noting Mexico's upcoming match against England, predicting it's already over for them.
Sparked by footage of the South Korean team being shamed at Seoul airport, Bobby makes his case: public shaming would make athletes try harder, and he's prepared to design culturally specific punishments. American players get banned from Cracker Barrel, Costco, and AM/PM for five years. The Netherlands, who lost to Morocco, get banned from brothels. Russia's team goes to a gulag. Germany, who lost to Paraguay, should spend time at Auschwitz. Bobby then grounds the bit in reality: North Korea allegedly sent every player and coach to a mining facility for a year after their 8-1 loss to Portugal. Andrew reads out that Saddam Hussein's son Uday, who ran Iraq's Olympic Committee, reportedly tortured and imprisoned players after embarrassing losses [1] — Andrew Santino "Uday Hussein tortured Iraqi soccer players after losses: Andrew read aloud that Saddam Hussein's son Uday, who headed the Iraqi Olympic Com…" 09:13 . The bit lands because the escalation is so specific — and because some of it is apparently true.
Andrew goes off-script to recommend Margo Has Money Problems, praising Elle Fanning's acting and Nick Offerman's performance. Bobby agrees on Fanning's beauty but takes it further: on a desert island with ten of the world's hottest women including Margot Robbie and Gal Gadot, he'd still pick Fanning. Andrew corrects him — it's not an island, it's a peninsula, then a key. Bobby accepts 'a key.' The segment is light and quick, serving mainly as a ramp into the much more involved self-image discussion that follows.
Abruptly switching register, Bobby declares he's in an 'honesty phase' and the honesty is this: he's ugly. Jawline — missing. Height — very tiny. Every metric of conventional handsomeness — a miss. Andrew reaches for a lifeline: you're like stinky cheese, blue cheese, Gorgonzola — acquired taste, but people like it. Bobby swats this away. He also weighs 155 pounds against an AI-derived average Korean male weight of 112–136 pounds, concluding he's fat [1] — Bobby Lee "Bobby weighs 155 lbs vs. avg Korean male 112–136 lbs: Bobby claims AI told him the average weight of a 54-year-old Korean man is 112–136 lb…" 15:20 . When Andrew points out Bobby has a very pretty girlfriend, Bobby responds without hesitation: clout, fame, full stop. He's not bitter about it — he seems almost relieved to have diagnosed the situation cleanly. The segment is equal parts dark and funny, a precursor to the full TFL manifesto about to arrive.
The self-deprecation reaches its philosophical apex: Bobby announces he co-founded the TFL movement before the internet made it possible to find fellow members, and has since identified them via TikTok videos. The movement's core thesis is radical honesty about one's own social value. Bobby's specific insight is that his entire career success is shame-based — he has endured so much shame that it has fortified him beyond what a conventionally attractive or socially advantaged person could sustain [1] — Bobby Lee "It's all shame. Because of shame, I can endure so much shame that I've gotten to the status that I've gotten to." 23:40 . Andrew half-jokes that Bobby should coach the Korean national soccer team. Bobby agrees and proposes putting every player in the wrong position. The segment closes on a genuinely interesting idea: that shame, properly metabolized, is a competitive advantage.
When Andrew presses Bobby on whether any woman would date him without fame, Bobby constructs an elaborate taxonomy of his romantic history. Category one: white women whose fathers served in Vietnam, came home with PTSD, directed that rage at their daughters, and so the daughters rebelled by dating an Asian man — bringing Daddy an Agent Orange flashback in human form. Category two: Midwest women surrounded exclusively by white people all their lives who needed an exit ramp. Bobby argues there are no other categories. Andrew notes that for women fleeing whiteness, the most common move is toward Black culture, making Bobby 'a very specific far-left turn.' Bobby corrects him — it's a Far East turn, which Andrew then calls a far-right turn, sending them into a geography comedy spiral [1] — Bobby Lee "Bobby's theory: every woman he's dated was either a white woman with a Vietnam-vet PTSD dad rebelling via a Korean boyfriend, or a Midwest …" 24:50 . The bit is outrageous but also structurally sound comedy.
The arrival of Jimmy Tatro — an objectively handsome man — is perfectly timed. Bobby directs him to the blue chair, notes Jack Black once sat there, and wastes no time before the central question: 'Am I objectively handsome in societal terms?' Jimmy pauses. The pause is so long it proves Bobby's point before a word is said. Jimmy lands on 'maybe not objectively, but you may have sex appeal' [1] — Bobby Lee "Bobby drags newly arrived guest Jimmy Tatro into an immediate attractiveness debate, asking him point-blank: 'Am I objectively handsome?' J…" 30:20 . Bobby extrapolates: if 100 women from around the world saw photos of them both head-to-toe without knowing who they were, the split would be 70-30 in Jimmy's favor. Jimmy thinks maybe 65-35. Andrew insists it would be the same for him and Bobby. Bobby counters that historically — in Rome, in Mesopotamia — the number would approach 99-1. Andrew and Jimmy agree Bobby's confident walk and presence are part of a package that transcends conventional handsomeness. Bobby is satisfied and moves on.
Bobby leads the Mountain Dew read with nostalgia, describing lake-side childhood memories with his father and a Mountain Dew in hand. Andrew notes the drink was created by two brothers in the foothills of Tennessee and has been going since 1948, framing it as the perfect America's 250th birthday companion. The Quince read is more practical: European linen pants starting at $34, 50–80% less than similar brands, available in Canada now, with free shipping and 365-day returns at quince.com/badfriends. Andrew mentions that his friend McCone wore his Quince shirt to the lake all weekend, a relatable endorsement. Both reads flow naturally from the health and lifestyle conversation the hosts are already having.
Andrew gets down to brass tacks: how was working with Will Ferrell? Jimmy says it was great — this is the fifth time they've worked together, and the team went straight from a movie directly into The Hawk, which meant no audition, offer only [1] — Jimmy Tatro "Jimmy Tatro is working with Will Ferrell for the 5th time: Jimmy Tatro revealed The Hawk is his fifth time working with Will Ferrell, havin…" 51:05 . Ferrell plays a washed-up golfer trying to make his comeback; Jimmy plays a younger pro golfer who starts to outshine him, prompting Ferrell's character to go 'on a mission to take him down.' Fortune Feimster plays a caddie Ferrell picks up in a Walmart parking lot who has no idea what golf is. Molly Shannon plays Jimmy's on-screen mother, and on the last day of shooting she drove off set with Chief Keef blasting at full volume from her subwoofers [2] — Jimmy Tatro "On like the last day of shooting, everyone's kind of leaving, and I just hear like— and I walk out of my trailer and she's blasting Chief K…" 53:27 . Andrew notes the show was largely shot in LA with a few days at TGL in Florida for the golf sequences. The hosts are clearly proud of their friend and make an explicit plug for the show.

Andrew notes the show was largely shot in LA with a few days at TGL in Florida for the golf sequences. The hosts are clearly proud of their friend and make an explicit plug for the show.
The conversation turns personal when Bobby asks where Jimmy grew up. Venice Beach, he says — Notre Dame in Sherman Oaks for high school, but Venice as a kid, back when it was still genuinely rough. He describes his crew as looking exactly like the guys in Lords of Dogtown: a little white kid (himself), a Mexican friend, and a Black friend who were both four years older than him, with Jimmy filming the videos. He could do pop shove-its, kickflips, heel flips, and peaked at the tray flip. Then comes Hugo — a slightly older kid who was already lighting cigarettes and exuding effortless cool, right until he keyed Jimmy's dad's car for no particular reason, apparently just to feel something. Bobby's analysis: Hugo was definitely abused. His parents knew the score from the beginning. Jimmy never ratted Hugo out but, he concedes, probably should have.
The Hugo car-keying story prompts a philosophical tangent from Bobby: what's the actual harm of a keyed car? It runs. You can still open the doors. Nobody's hurt. Andrew confirms Bobby's cars are always beat to hell and he definitely wouldn't notice. Bobby extends his logic: if Hugo had taken the engine, that's a legitimate grievance — then you tell Dad. But a scratch? Natural. Bobby even offers to key Jimmy's car after the show. Jimmy politely declines. Andrew points out that modern keyless cars have somewhat neutralized the practice anyway, though Bobby has a Klingon hunting knife on his keychain as a backup option. The segment is a perfect encapsulation of Bobby's operating philosophy: if the fundamental function is intact, the superficial damage is noise.
Jimmy sets up the closer by describing his neighbor's dog depositing what sounds like a world-record bowel movement at the foot of his driveway while the owner scrolled her phone. Security cameras confirmed everything. Jimmy briefly considered a public flyer campaign before his fiancée talked him down. Bobby trumps the story: in his old apartment complex, a neighbor made a full flyer — complete with Bobby's photo, his podcast name, his ex-girlfriend's name, and his home address — accusing him of never cleaning up after his dogs and letting them defecate on common property [1] — Bobby Lee "Bobby turned neighbor's shaming flyer into sold-out T-shirts: A neighbor made flyers calling out Bobby for not cleaning up after his dogs, …" 1:06:17 . Bobby's response was to turn the flyer into a T-shirt that sold out on TigerBelly. Bobby's broader position is that dog poop is just fertilizer and nature is natural. Andrew then reads actual scientific information: dog feces contain parasites and pathogens that pose health risks to humans and cannot be used as fertilizer without composting. Bobby takes a beat, thanks everyone, and admits nothing will change. Jimmy's parting observation that Bobby should have known better since the podcast's own Dave sketch covered dog-poop disposal ethics lands perfectly.

Chapter 2 · 06:00
Sparked by footage of the South Korean team being shamed at Seoul airport, Bobby makes his case: public shaming would make athletes try harder, and he's prepared to design culturally specific punishments. American players get banned from Cracker Barrel, Costco, and AM/PM for five years. The Netherlands, who lost to Morocco, get banned from brothels. Russia's team goes to a gulag. Germany, who lost to Paraguay, should spend time at Auschwitz. Bobby then grounds the bit in reality: North Korea allegedly sent every player and coach to a mining facility for a year after their 8-1 loss to Portugal. Andrew reads out that Saddam Hussein's son Uday, who ran Iraq's Olympic Committee, reportedly tortured and imprisoned players after embarrassing losses [1] — Andrew Santino "Uday Hussein tortured Iraqi soccer players after losses: Andrew read aloud that Saddam Hussein's son Uday, who headed the Iraqi Olympic Com…" 09:13 . The bit lands because the escalation is so specific — and because some of it is apparently true.
Bobby makes a serious-ish case for bringing back public shaming rituals for World Cup losers — no Cracker Barrel for US players, Korean players in a gulag, the Netherlands banned from brothels. The bit escalates into North Korea's actual manual labor consequences and Uday Hussein's legendary brutality.
Bobby recounted that after North Korea's 8-1 loss to Portugal in the World Cup, every player and coach was reportedly sent to a mining facility for a year of manual labor.
Andrew read aloud that Saddam Hussein's son Uday, who headed the Iraqi Olympic Committee, reportedly tortured and imprisoned national soccer players following embarrassing losses.
Chapter 4 · 12:00
Abruptly switching register, Bobby declares he's in an 'honesty phase' and the honesty is this: he's ugly. Jawline — missing. Height — very tiny. Every metric of conventional handsomeness — a miss. Andrew reaches for a lifeline: you're like stinky cheese, blue cheese, Gorgonzola — acquired taste, but people like it. Bobby swats this away. He also weighs 155 pounds against an AI-derived average Korean male weight of 112–136 pounds, concluding he's fat [1] — Bobby Lee "Bobby weighs 155 lbs vs. avg Korean male 112–136 lbs: Bobby claims AI told him the average weight of a 54-year-old Korean man is 112–136 lb…" 15:20 . When Andrew points out Bobby has a very pretty girlfriend, Bobby responds without hesitation: clout, fame, full stop. He's not bitter about it — he seems almost relieved to have diagnosed the situation cleanly. The segment is equal parts dark and funny, a precursor to the full TFL manifesto about to arrive.
Bobby stares at himself in the spa mirror and arrives at a verdict: ugly by every societal metric. Andrew pushes back with 'stinky cheese' and 'Gorgonzola' comparisons, but Bobby insists his girlfriend is only with him for the clout — and he's completely fine with it.
Bobby claims AI told him the average weight of a 54-year-old Korean man is 112–136 lbs, and since he weighs 155, he considers himself 'fat' by that metric.

Bobby reveals he co-founded the TFL (Total F***ing Loser) movement before the internet, and found fellow members via TikTok years later. Once you join, success doesn't get you out — and his shame-based endurance is exactly what built his career.

Both reads flow naturally from the health and lifestyle conversation the hosts are already having.
Bobby runs through his current diet: 24-hour weekly fasts, Japanese purple sweet potatoes, sardines, salmon, no processed foods, and no carbs (except the ones he's unaware of). Jimmy confesses his high cholesterol wake-up call and his switch to egg whites. Andrew announces he will die eating cheese.
Bobby Lee revealed he fasts for 24 hours once a week, reports no diarrhea and describes his stool as 'perfect,' but admits he feels 'absolutely terrible' while doing it.

Bobby never checks a bag — for any trip, including Australia. His secret: one pair of raw denim jeans (to develop a fade), sardine cans as in-flight snacks, and a Klingon hunting knife on his keychain. Andrew questions everything. Jimmy suggests he just check a bag for two weeks.
Jimmy Tatro is playing the nemesis-son to Will Ferrell's washed-up golfer in The Hawk, his fifth project with Ferrell and Ferrell's first lead TV series. The real highlight: Molly Shannon, playing his on-screen mother, drove off set on the last day with Chief Keef blasting from her subwoofers.

Jimmy's neighbor let her dog drop a massive pile at the bottom of his driveway and kept scrolling her phone. Bobby one-ups him: a neighbor made flyers calling him out for never cleaning up after his dogs, posted them around the neighborhood, and Bobby turned the flyers into sold-out T-shirts.
