This is my favorite version of bobby. Grounded, honest, and bearing his soul.

[@SoulBoom]

🙌

[@krisdjames]

I was going to say the same thing. I don't find Bobby as funny as others do, I mean I get it, it just doesn't hit for me. But seeing serious Bobby made me realize how smart, kind and thoughtful he is. Wish I could see more of him like this.

[@fluffyclouds555]

He didn’t deflect and laugh it off. He’s growing and seems to have found inner peace

[@fluffyclouds555]

@@krisdjamesthis version of him does shine through all his work in my opinion. Even when he’s being silly or shocking

*baring, and I agree ☝️ Vulnerable Bobby

[@jbri1]

That Build A Bear thing happened randomly with me. One day, when i was maybe 26, i found a photograph of me as a cute, little boy, with rosy, chubby cheeks, smiling at the camera, defenseless and small. And I realised how hard I was on myself and realised that that little boy still lived in my adult body, and I should be so much kinder to myself, be gentle like I would to my 3-year-old self. Very powerful moment. I cried too

[@vilhelmh3818]

thanks for sharing brother, all the best

[@JLYT2024]

I've tried to activate this way of thinking in myself and failed everytime. I hope I get my moment and glad you got yours 🙏🩵

[@jbri1]

@@JLYT2024 thanks, i hope you do too. For me it was completely out of the blue. Maybe i wasn't ready to see it until then

What a time to be alive where two comedians are having conversations like this. What an incredible shift from what Bobby’s parents went through. It gives me such hope to think that similar healing from trauma is possible for those living in war-torn communities now.

[@MrMeattball]

I guarantee you if any L.A comedian would’ve presented this question to Bobby, they would’ve been laughing uproariously. Rainn handled it so respectfully.

[@perrisfrances]

20 years ago a therapist told me to buy a stuffed toy, like a teddy bear to bring to sessions. (Like Bobby I found it embarrassing). The therapist guided me through childhood memories and had me talk to bear like it was a child (me). It’s pretty amazing the effects it can have. Bits of inner calmness, softens the impact of memories, etc

[@brainwash4287]

Really glad you decided to make this channel Rainn - I find it really beneficial seeing this side of you and your guests.

[@beautifulcatastrophe]

Bobby Lee changed my life 🧬

[@MyIceShine]

What is so lovely about this Podcast is ( with a truly open heart) how much you can learn from it, from the Guests ( divinely choosen) from the Host ( favorite one) , the stories that shared, the people that is being help, and also the spiritual tools that bring, specially so much about being compassive♥ This is great and I thank God to inspired you Rainn, to do this, each day! Infinite Blessings Soulboom

[@ambercruse278]

Beautifully said Bobby ❤ I enjoy seeing you express yourself from the heart. You have so much to share with other generations. Big hug from Canadian Granny 🇨🇦 xo

[@mike110111]

Beautiful. What a time to be alive, that stories like this are being shared for everyone to see

[@LloydTunstilll]

This was life changing. Thank you!

[@AuroraMeansDawn27]

After my mum died, i found out SO much about her mental health issues and childhood. It was only then that i understood the abuse i endured was more about my mums illness and not her hatred of me.

[@beyounglove6278]

Great stuff man, God bless

[@keatonmorrison2979]

I love this. Mutual vulnerability and I'm so used to seeing Bobby within a comedic frame. Great stuff.

[@Ferich11]

I had a lot of emdr treatments with my kind psychiatrist but sadly he passed away in 2019 and no one else in Pennsylvania was nearly close to as qualified as him. God I miss him dearly.

[@atlasiroh5095]

Proud of you Bobby! Thanks for being an inspiration to me to get to the bottom of it as well and be free!

The Soul Boom theme song sounds like an intro for a British time traveling detective TV show.

hope you re-upload the whole epi without all the glitches!

[@SoulBoom]

Working on it!

[@deadpool8340]

Love Bobby when talks real !!

[@ForestWhitakersLeftEye]

Man Rainn, as much as I loved you on The Office, I'm beginning to love this podcast more. Singlehandedly has kept me clean from a 10+ year cocaine hell. Thank you sir, much love from St. Louis

[@GoodGolly.MissLolly]

I just had my first EMDR session today. I’ve been seriously considering ending … you know. Anyway, I’m a bit more hopeful now. And finding Rainn’s podcast today makes me happy

[@roygeorge5364]

Hang in there mate, we have all felt hopelessness like that before. You have to find the treatment that works for you and this could be it. 5 years ago I couldn't get outta bed for 9 months due to severe depression due to trauma. Once I found a treatment that worked I was back on track. It took a few years, but we do recover, and you can too. Best of luck to you mate.

[@GoodGolly.MissLolly]

@@roygeorge5364 thanks for your encouragement. I really appreciate your kindness. I’m glad you found a way out

I need to do this kinda treatment.

[@davidlanier2290]

Very mad that we no longer have Mad tv. Oh and planted a tree - nothing happened. Waited all day too. Went by today - yup no tree just dirt and a bunch of cops for some odd reason. Bobby congrats on your recovery. Odaat

[@demian8439]

5:13 - Bro, it's not cheesy. It does sound cheesy. And to someone who's never been brave enough to try that type of thing it must really sound weird, but it's actually incredibly profound and healing.

[@alexsmith8364]

I find in interviews and podcasts its all sarcastic talk and no questions are taken seriously and every answer is more about being funny then answering honestly.

[@SoulBoom]

Not here!

[@stevennnnn305]

Me and Bobby used to hang out when we were kids everyday for summer 😅

[@digbydark9313]

Do you have candy?

Hahaha this is in reference to the bit from Fighter and the Kid ...

[@DeyDeyxFRAT]

Yeah he’s great. Ggs

[@nathanhall9177]

How do you forgive when that person who hurt you is still alive. And won’t even admit they did anything. I wish I could let go of all this hate. Helpful to know others have done it.

[@rufiorufioo]

Bobby Lee has become our Korean Miyagi

[@ardien.535]

If emdr was available to me I would try it, but nothing is a 100% when it comes to truama. Try anything available to you but know we know very little about psychiatric healing. If it helps you, great

[@VictorYouTube-bh1vl]

❤️‍🩹

[@YoMaineGir]

Can i interview u Rainn?

[@GenX1964]

Nosotros is just the best Mexican Spanish word. Put a little base into it like the Telemundo guy! Feels Good! SOUND GREAT!

[@jamesongogoleczko5932]

It’s a Spanish word that was used in Europe a millennia before Mexico existed, wtf would it be specifically Mexican Spanish? Yankees smh

[@kerrypickens8594]

But how much of that is cultural. I had a Thai friend that used to scare her grandson on purpose. She would see a dog and say don’t touch that dog it will bite you. The lessons were all fear based.

[@jamesongogoleczko5932]

That’s how grandmas act everywhere whether east or southeast Asian, Eastern European or middle eastern, west or East African, and Latin American..

[@KryCaNe]

Don’t you think on some level it’s degrees of inter-generational trauma?

[@mattoniy2840]

Everyone has inter generational trauma , the world was fucked up for our ancestors literally everywhere.. we are so blessed to be in this world that we moan about every day.

[@Adefesio94]

[@cameronpeterson5961]

Bobby has given the entire world trauma

[@HeavyNeck-oq4nt]

Red bar is watching soul boom sucks

[@KryCaNe]

I don’t understand why Americans say “passed”. It’s “passed away”. “Passed” means “goes by”.

[@jayt8532]

Language is always evolving! Let us dip shit Americans have our shortened form, and enjoy life without worrying about us

[@alizzybookling]

It's just a term of speech used. If someone has "passed" then in a way their life has gone by. Came and went. Same meaning.

[@Apropoetic]

Why is that such a big deal to you? It's just a shortened version of the phrase that people use. Slang and shortened versions of terms and phrases are common everywhere.

[@YungShoe]

Ofc he has trauma look at him

[@braydenboyko8525]

… Bobby has told the whole world about his trauma like 100 times , so this isn’t new

[@TravelwithBk559]

Khalyla ruined Bobby's life

[@citypoint725]

Must be awesome to have access to all these therapies. I can't even find a therapist.

[@ald.3387]

Is this real? They seem to hate each other?

[@Apropoetic]

It's fairly common for people, especially comedians, to pretty to dislike each other as a bit. I'm fairly certain if they really hated each other the interview wouldn't have happened.
