The Sneaky Nakamara | Ep 311 | Bad Friends

Bobby Lee expresses nervousness about an upcoming acting role requiring him to play a drunk. He finds exaggerated portrayals unrealistic. Andrew suggests that true drunkenness is often characterized by disinterest or a lack of self-awareness, rather than overt slurring or stumbling. The key is to 'pretend not to be drunk,' which is what actual drunks often do.

Bobby: 'I'm supposed to be a drunk in it. And I have a problem playing a drunk... how do you play a drunk guy?' Andrew: 'The trick is to pretend not to be drunk, which is what drunks do.'

Following the death of James Caan, Bobby explains why he didn't post a memorial, citing discomfort with the performative aspect of such posts. He observes that many in Hollywood post tributes without genuine connection, making the act feel disingenuous. Andrew agrees, noting that some posts are authentic while others are clearly 'baloney.'

Bobby: 'I didn't post anything because of the fact that I'm just it bothers me a lot that people do it when they you know they have a I I have photos with him you know that I could go you know um rest in peace brother and you know and I there's I asked around I go why don't I not want to post it cuz when I see it it bothers me.' Andrew: 'It's a little performative right it's performative sometimes.'

Bobby shares that his wife wants to adopt a dog with limited time left due to poor health. While he initially questions the short-term companionship, Andrew argues that providing a loving home for a pet's final years is a profoundly compassionate act, significantly improving their quality of life compared to a shelter. This perspective highlights the selfless aspect of animal rescue.

Bobby: 'She found a dog that is not in good shape that has not a lot of years left.' Andrew: 'Wouldn't you rather help this dog and have its last few years be amazing other than sitting in a uh whatever, you know, in a shelter or whatever?'
