Bobby Lee has narrated the now-infamous story on several shows including Opie and Anthony SiriusXM show, DVDASA, This Past Weekend by Theo Von, and on his very own podcast, TigerBelly.

During the This Past Weekend podcast episode, which he appeared in on January 2020, the comedian told the host that he frequented a Tijuana brothel while working as a waiter in his early 20s. Due to his lack of dating experience, he reportedly found himself having meetings with several women at hotels.

Before narrating the story, Lee warned the podcast hosts- “this is gonna be a hard story to tell, I don’t know if I can get around it. Honestly, if you think this is gonna ruin me, will you cut it out?”

Lee went on to explain that while he was walking down “ho*ker alley,” he met a “girl that seemed scared. That’s the one I wanted.” While describing how the lady looked, he compared her to Natalie Portman when she was 13.

While narrating the same story on the TigerBelly podcast, Lee revealed that he was desiring a “girl facing the wall… the one that doesn’t want to be here.”
