Bobby Can See: First Glasses at 55

Bobby Can See! · Jun 15, 2026 Comedy

Bobby Lee got his first pair of glasses at around 55 and suddenly discovered trees in his backyard, roller coasters at Universal, and the lines on the road he'd been ignoring for decades. He drove Mulholland Drive blind, navigating entirely by memorized routes and vibes.

The episode opens with Andrew Santino hyping his upcoming two-show run at The Sound in Del Mar on June 20th, directing listeners to andrewsantino.com for tickets. Both hosts then announce The Bad Game Show — a 10-episode series they created together, dropping every Wednesday on the Bad Friends YouTube channel. From there, the mood shifts to comedy gold when Bobby Lee reveals he got prescription glasses for the very first time, at approximately age 55. Driving through Los Angeles earlier that day, he suddenly noticed the roller coasters at Universal Studios theme park — rides he had never been able to see through the blur. He admits he navigated for years by memorizing only two or three key roads and driving Mulholland Drive by feel, unable to see lane lines. Andrew is genuinely stunned, and the two riff on how Bobby's car is covered in dings that will now presumably stop forever.
