And now, the Bonfire with Big J. O'Kerson and Robert Kelly.
If you guys give me some big intro like every other radio show for 30 years, I'm walking out.
Ladies and gentlemen, my best friend, one of my best friends. Can I say that, right?
Sure.
Are you my, I might, but I might one of your best friends.
I have a lot of best friends. That's nuts.
Louis C.K., Bill Cosby?
Colin Quinn.
Oh, over the place.
Colin Quinn. He's got a new series. Block by Block is streaming now on YouTube.
dot com slash at
Colin Quinn
Blackwood wants a
Oh blacklist picture
Yeah telling him how to do radio
Oh wow
Are you really doing this to Colin
Move one of us
How's this guys
Great
Oh man
That was uncomfortable
Let me help you
Yeah
There you know
That's it right there
You like that
Is this what's like watching me with Keith
I mean
I just got to take care of him
I spoke to Keith today
He says nice mini TV
Oh, you fuck
You brought it up
It's not a mini television
It's not a mini television
It's a large television
For outside television
Jay's got a 14 inch screen
It's so much more than that
It's the greatest
One of the greatest moments of my life
Is seeing Jay
Just seeing Keith walk into his
Home
Just amazing home
And Keith just stumbles in
With his dumb king
you TV you need a bigger TV
I was so excited to show Keith
particularly my house he was talking about
it all day he told me this beautiful
story about how Keith used to
bring him make him come
to New York from Philly when little
Chubby Jay didn't want to come I remember
I'm just going to stay home tonight and Keith would call him up
if you stay home you're never going to make it
you got to be there stupid and
he took those words and
showed up every night in his little
shitty car see and he was wrong
but who knew
Keith was an idiot then as much as he is right now
I remember Jay coming shuffling
Kurt
Metzger Jay and Little Kev coming in
like oh shucks
We were really out of nowhere
Sitting where you guys belonged
One foot on the bar stool
And one foot on the little table
They weren't even allowed at that second table
No not the second
Yeah the B team
Yeah that was weirdly like
Russman Eve and Ben Bailey
were on that team
Yeah, that's right.
They were on the outside table, and then we were on the outside of the outside.
They'd get in the car and drive home, and Jay would go, I talk to Ross Bennett tonight.
And they'd go, who?
I'd go, Eddie Strange?
Come on.
This room's got no history of comedy.
I'm not there, all of you.
Fuck all of you.
Yeah, so, Keith, I was so excited to come show in my house, and he walked in.
And it's not a very big house, but I'd say front of house through.
garage into backyard,
14-minute walk for Keith.
So we, and then he made fun of my TV.
As soon as he sat down,
he goes, could you have a smaller TV?
It's a 55-inch screen television outside.
He said 14.
Nothing, nothing.
There is a couple feet on either side of the TV.
He could have got a bigger.
It's being corrected.
He could have got the bigger one.
It'll be fixed.
Especially because outside, you know,
you have the whole world as your wall.
Yeah.
So you wanted to be a little bigger.
It's in a pavilion.
It is.
It's outside.
He has a fireplace, refrigerator, pool, jacuzzi.
He's saying small house, he's making me sick to my stomach.
It's an amazing, huge, beautiful house.
It's a dream house from most people.
Is he saying that to just be like, you know, like fake humble?
Yeah, he's being humble.
He doesn't want to...
Like right now he's very happy that you're telling me it's a dream house?
No.
Yes, he is.
He's sitting there going on.
Jesus.
Come on enough.
It's unbelievable.
His house has a living room in his bedroom.
Like a little living room with a little TV and a couch, a love seat.
And he's got a step-down living room in his bedroom to the walking closet.
Does he feel like the fans of Bonfire are going to be like, oh, Jay's changed.
He's got too much.
Is that what it is, Jay?
You want to be, you still want to be.
Jay, you're getting mad at me about this, but it's because you have a beautiful house.
This is a compliment.
You need to accept.
I don't know to lay everything out about your house out there to Vundra.
He wants to do.
He wants to.
I have an average house.
He feels like he's losing street credit by having a fancy house.
Bobby
He's afraid
someday he'll be on stage
working at
in Pennsylvania
Nice house
Let me describe Bobby's house
It's a nice little
Two-level house
And from what I know
It can fit a trans person
That's all I know of it so far
Whoa
A trans person
We had Norton over
For Thanksgiving
He wasn't the trans person
It was his wife
Yeah I was gonna say
Fitting Norton is no
It's not that it's hard
You have a one bedroom
No no
But he's being carried in
By a Viking priestess
Yes
And we don't know
If he's not the trans person
the jury's out
we don't know what outfits she puts on him
it's true yeah
I assume she's want to sneeze
during a blow job from making him a woman also
and he is very malleable
let's be honest
malleable
that was my favorite description
of uh there was one of Joe DeRosa
leaving the cellar one night
furious when he first started to come to New York
slinking out of the cellar
it was just that and it was I think him and Steve
Byrne were trying to talk to chicks
and Kurt kept going around
and you know Kurt's like autistic energy
for he just wants everybody to hear the joke
he's not really thinking that there's girls around her
or something and he's a artist
and he goes hey look is this is a funny picture
of Joe the Rose and he just drew this very rudimentary
picture but it looked so much like Joe
and this awful picture and it was like a whole
body thing and he was and he would
just tell you he goes oh yeah it's really easy to draw Joe he goes
you just start by making two sacks
and he just called it two sacks of Joe
and he was making fun of him he goes
and then you just kind of draw it like
like, it looks like, you know, Joe left the house before he set to go out to, you know, like, Jello.
He goes, he took him out of the mold too quick as all.
And Joe was leaving being fucking furious.
Like, ripped the picture up, which is even funnier.
Like, when someone gets an aggressive move and rips it up, it's the best.
Oh, it's the best when someone gets actually angry.
Exactly.
Joe tried to delete the picture.
Patrice doing dice to Norton when he had a girl at the cellar one night and kept telling him to be like,
pick up my laundry.
Oh!
And as far as I saw Norton come over and, like, slapped the table.
And he goes, that's fucking enough.
I have a girl.
He was to curse, like, he quietly cursed out, Patrice.
But seeing somebody get to the point, Patrice used to drive people to the point.
I see D.C. Benny flip out on Patrice.
Yeah.
He did, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
He could bring up a little.
He could bring him out quick.
The best was when Manny snapped on him, kicked him out of the cell.
Yes.
Manny was the owner of comedy seller.
he was an older dude
no one wasn't around at that time
no one was at the wah
and it was the cellar table
was usually Manny
Ava
Esty
there was no Liz
no Liz
and it was me
it was Norton me
Patrice and Greg Giroaldo
and okay so
everybody was talking
like me and Geraldo
were talking to Manny
Norton was talking to Avre and Esti
and nobody
He was, not ignoring Patrice, but nobody was talking to him, and you know he can't have that.
So he was just sitting there, and I saw him just kind of being uncomfortable.
And then he just went, yo, Manny, all your teeth reel?
Manny, manny went, you motherfucker, you fucking embarrass me in front of my fucking, my woman and my friends, fuck you.
And Patrice was like, yo, yo, no, no, no, I'm just wanting.
and like and he tried to back pedal
yeah
and me and gerald
went north we're just putting our heads down like
what a fucking dumb piece of shit you are
oh god
and he stayed angry at him
he stayed angry at him
and he kicked him out
and then Norton stuck up for Patrice
he goes look he was just trying to
I know him he's just nervous
he just said something
because nobody was talking to him
and he goes fuck you too
and then Norton left
he got kicked out of the cell
Bobby we're going to work on your friend impressions
They all are just a version of you that you do for Bill Burr.
Yeah, that's true.
And then Colin comes over and he goes,
Hey, oh, you got thrown out of the thing all that with the thing, dude, and you had.
Dude, you fucked up the thing with the impression guy, okay?
So let's just settle down.
It's not my fault.
Where is he's out there impressioning without me?
This cock's like I still wants impressions.
He's my note and impression, right?
Hey, man.
Yeah, that's pretty good.
That's pretty good.
He's good.
Norton is the guy who told me, though, about, like,
you really got to be in his circle before he'll,
get into the shit talking other comics with you
because I remember coming him early on things
and trying to like bond over like
huh this guy right he'd be like
great dude just not talk about it anymore
first of all no one's in
obviously you don't know Norton as well as we do
we're not in his circle
if we call Jim Norton
he might text you back a day later
but if you text him and text you back
if you call him he'll text you back a day later
to inform you like don't ever call me again
Norton called me
Norton called me
and then in the conversation
I got to call you back
I was like what
he called me
he's like I got to ask you a question
I'm like yeah what's up
he's like I got to call you back
and never never called me back
when you're being butt fucked fucked by a woman
you need time
he's got to think things through
before he talks to you
he's got to snap back to the gym that you know
not the person that's doing whatever
in that godforsaken room
I want to let you know Jay
no you don't need time
yeah he finishes fast
by Jim's tight
Jim's very, very tight
Yeah, Jim doesn't
He never calls and nothing
No
No, has he ever called you and said
Hey, what's up, how you doing?
Never, you never call
Would you answer?
It is a text
Well, now I wouldn't
Yeah
But a few years ago I would have
You don't understand
He's been doing this to us
For like 12 years
Yeah, he doesn't
And we bust his balls about it
On the show all the time
The show he used to be
And he would
Just look at us like, yeah
He never goes like
Oh, I don't do that
Oh, I'll call you guys
guys. No, he just looks just like, fuck you.
Yeah, why? What do we do?
I think Jim just made a decision. Don't forget, Bill Burr, speaking of Bill Burr, he literally
sat at the table. And I remember Buston's both going, you think you change your name to
Bill from Billy, and you're not going to hang out at the table, and this is going to be your
road to success. Well, guess who?
Boy, was it.
Jay, my name's Robert from now on.
Rob.
Yeah.
Paco, don't look at me in the eye.
guys, fuck.
God bless him, yeah.
Do you think that, I always think this, do you think.
I remember the shift, the Billy Bird of Bill Burr shift, yeah.
Remember he left the table?
He's like, this is not a fucking place for success.
I was like, he's crazy.
Do you think that us trying to be funny and bust balls and have fun and being assholes to
each other, do you think that that effect, maybe that was one of the things that affected
our careers?
Yes.
Oh, you're asking me?
No, I'm not asking for me.
Oh, yeah.
Yes.
I mean, yeah, maybe.
I mean, who knows?
I mean, I always thought that was the whole morning
coming into this business, but it may have affected us.
But look, those assholes from the fucking
Fry's Club got away with this.
Why couldn't we?
Because they had a place to do it.
Yeah, maybe that's right.
Well, that was the problem, too.
Speaking of Patrice, now that you mention Patrice,
you're not just us busting each other's balls
like a Fryers Club, literally Patrice,
other tables of nice people,
Midwestern people coming to a show,
and suddenly they're like,
a little tipsy after one.
drink shh oh yeah yeah that's the other problem keith petrice you know what i mean yeah the blacks
yeah you notice the fire club at fries club had no blacks did they have no blacks one for a hundred
years dick gregory was the one for he died they got to figure new one i don't think he's a prize club
maybe george kirby or somebody like that will you remember the fry's club no rejected
yeah they wouldn't take your they wouldn't accept you i live two blocks away i went twice it makes my
stomach hurt every time I worked in I was like oh
why I don't know just something about the energy
in there it's gone now right
yeah it's something else it's something else somebody
it feels like it would always smell like old Jewish food
yeah I mean I'm always like a soup like a very
noodley noodley soup a pool table that nobody
used yeah is this is that a pool table
yeah and a guy's very uncomfortable furniture
uncomfortable was it a pool table with no pockets it was like one of those
English no like snooker it's billiards
yeah billiards
but it would be cool to own that place
It'd be cool to have a place to hang, like a comic hang.
Yeah.
We should do that.
They smoke cigars there, too.
Well, you guys form your new gay Westchester Comics Club.
You, Chrissy Day, Janice, fucking Paul Verz.
Pete Davidson.
Pete Davidson.
Who did that too?
Everybody says Westchester, but it's just the lie to make you feel like they want you to feel like the, they have made a bad decision moving up that far away.
So they all call it Westchester.
Bobby lives two and a half hours up north.
It's crazy.
I know Bobby's town.
It's pretty nice.
It's a nice town.
It's very nice.
You have to get there.
You don't know the town.
You've never been to the town town.
You know, you've never been to the town town.
I love his neighborhood.
It's very, that's weird.
I don't want to say, but.
Is it where mayor of East Town lives?
No, no.
I'm in Jersey.
You're in one of the, you're not in North Jersey.
You're in one of those South Jersey, Pennsylvania border towns.
I know exactly where you belong.
No, that's Joe de Rosa.
Oh, that's where I belong.
He belongs next to Tony Luke's
You belong in Levitown, PA
Right on the top
You're blowing in Chambersburg
Oh yeah, no Levitown
That's right where I belong, you're right
Like a stone throw from Sesame Place
I still go to a water park at this age
Yeah
He uh, no his town is nice
He's got a nice
His neighborhood is nice
But he's got that jersey
It's just strip malls
You know what I mean?
Like there's no small town
Like my town is a small old town
Oh I know
But where's a cheesecake fan?
don't have it well then how are you going to get to tie chicken lettuce wraps you don't get it
you don't get that you don't have to tie chicken lettuce wraps up there i don't want to live in
your stupid town ryan reynolds so you're telling you she would write off 17 we get it's pretty
good that's close i know exactly where he lives this is your town yeah that's my town
oh there's still a railroad yeah there's a train right oh my god yeah people work on it all the
long day?
No, I love, listen, I think Westchester is better than Jersey just because getting in and out of
the city is better, because you don't have to go through the tunnels.
It's easier.
Can be.
It is.
There's no bridge or anything?
Yeah, until your highway floods.
That's a good call, Christine.
Right.
Thank you for that arsenal.
I hate it.
I hate that I tell him stuff once in a while and he just keeps in it his memory.
What about when your thing floods?
The sawmill, and it floods once in a while.
The sawmill's a nightmare.
The taconinic is the worst because it's deer's and turkeys.
Two of your three ways into the city.
No, I don't think the tautics are.
I think more people die in the tachonic than any other highway.
It's a fucking, I'm frightened.
When I do Pachy-Sovet of a tunnel, I should sentence myself to death to live near you.
You don't know, no, no, no.
Yeah, but if your tunnel leaks, you're done.
Oh, no.
Yeah.
Didn't you ever see daylight?
And if something, yeah, but you're not.
There's angry, the tachonic, for some reason,
and people, they have roadways, and that's after DiPaolo left.
He used to live up there, too.
He left the fire, he left the fire and never stopped raging.
You know, DePaul's town was kind of ghetto.
What town?
Austining.
Well, Sing-Thing's right there.
Yeah, it's like, we were looking at there, but it was like the schools sucked, and it was
kind of ghetto.
But where he lived, he just lived in the woods.
What do you mean by ghetto exactly?
How can I put this?
Low income.
No income.
Paco's roommates.
Did the corner?
Stores have drinks that were under 50 cents.
Yeah, they made their own popsicles.
That's small town.
That's not small town.
It's hilarious.
Yeah, it was, yeah, there it is right there.
No one's at any of these places.
Nobody cares by these mom and pop shops.
It's a ghost town you live in.
Yeah, it is a little fuck.
Mine?
I'm out in Passaic County, dude.
Cheesecake Factory.
P.F. Chang's.
Home goods.
Home goods.
Look, you got all the ship.
There's a Marshalls.
You can't walk.
Because I'm really not quite in mall shirts yet.
Are you still DXL?
I'll still do a DXL.
I'm so glad I haven't been back there.
I walk by.
I drive by, I'd give it to the finger.
It was, I hate it.
I hate the DXL.
It's not the best choices.
I like the fact that the rest of the guys don't really,
they feel uncomfortable when a guest comes in,
and they're like not in contributing because they're like,
they don't know my vibe.
I like that.
Jacob's flat out afraid of you.
you. I watched it happen.
Jacob's afraid, right?
He's afraid.
He's intimidated by me.
He was going to do a bit.
You know, I loved him on the big Christmas show.
He had a bit where he was going to show us that he got a pair of sweatpants that he thought
might be hugging his ass too much.
But why, yeah, why would you hesitate with the bit after I was so goddamn supportive
doing the big Christmas fucking show?
Oh, because, yeah, Christine made him feel bad.
Well, Christine also shamed him.
He FaceTime Christine for some odd reason to show her.
her, his ass in the pants.
Wow.
And she secretly
took pictures of that
to show us.
And not secretly laughed.
I guess you want to be kicked off series
radio.
No, that's fine.
That's how Opie got fired.
No, I know.
But Lou actually gives me $10 to film him
shitting every day.
He goes, come over the top, so I don't
even know you're there.
So what happened? So he was trying
on pants was the bit?
Well, he was going to see.
He wanted us to tell him if he had, like, like, you know, like leggings on.
He was worried about his head.
This guy's got no muffin top.
Oh, he's ripped, huh?
Shredded.
But he wanted to put it on, he was going to put him on and let us kind of judge and, like, you know, if it was funny, laugh at it.
And then I said, we'll do it after when we have Colin in here.
And he goes, I don't want to do that in front of college.
No, no, no, no, no.
You have, Colin is the best judge of tight sweatpants.
Well, I probably am.
I just bought some, well, not sweatpants, but exercise pants.
Maybe I could contribute.
You bought exercise pants?
Yeah, I guess.
What is that?
What does that mean?
What the fuck is that?
I forgot what they called.
Wait, how old are you?
How old are you that you bought exercise pants?
Is it a onesie like Jack La Lane?
Oh, yeah.
It feels like it is.
Does it have the one crossbody strap?
You can lift weights that have the weight number printer on a big circle.
So, Jacob.
What?
Come on, just change into the pants.
Let's just do this.
We have some music.
We might as well do it.
We have a little sexy movie
Because you know what the thing is
When you try to wait until the right time
Then it always fucks up
I mean
This seems like the wrong time
And it probably is
But for now
No
I saw any excuse to get Jacob to peel down
Yeah
Are you wearing them under there?
No
No
Whoa
Now you don't want
I want to make sure you're okay with this
What's that?
I gotta take him off
Hey this guy's still friends with a couple
What do you mean
This guy still friends with a couple
The Westies over there
You're gonna fucking get naked in front of him
I like that he goes
No
Like what the hell?
I don't know the fucking rules in the game.
Are you playing Bill Squire?
That's right.
The song that took him down.
Billy Squire?
Yeah.
Oh.
It's okay.
I'm not going to crawl on the floor.
Come on do it.
Remember how he danced all like this, Jacob?
I want to remember.
You're saying this is going to be his Billy Squire moment?
Absolutely.
I bailed on everyone.
I bailed on Billy Squire.
By the way, you know what would have brought him back?
He changed his name to Bill Squire.
That's true.
It worked for Bill Squire, that comedian from Cleveland.
God, this video was so sad.
Actually, you're wearing the same pants he's wearing.
Oh, my God.
Well, you know, it's funny.
I'm wearing the same pants.
You bought Bill Squire exercise pants.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
You got yourself a pair of Billy Squires.
Now we just need to get you alternate.
Now we need to get you alternating color tank tops to wear on top of you.
I mean, are you kidding me?
This is crazy.
Oh, no.
Oh, this is great.
Put them on and do the dance.
What the fuck?
I'm not doing the dance.
Do you, wait, but stop.
Dude, I'm going to ask you a question.
Do you have thigh pockets?
Yes.
Wait, this is Mac Weldon.
You have thigh pockets?
What are you putting in there?
Fake muscles.
Let me see.
Back up.
Get the camera.
Paco, get the camera on him.
Oh, there's him doing, there's him cam girling Christine.
Yeah.
Where was it?
They're not Billy Squire pants, but they're not not Billy Squire pants.
The double tank top look should come back.
Jacob, those hug your fucking shit are great.
Yeah.
Yeah, dude.
I think they look great.
They look really good.
Do me a favor, bend over a little bit just to see what happens when you bend over and exercise.
Turn that way.
Turn that way.
Not bad.
Oh, man.
Give me a taste.
Yeah, just arch your back a little bit.
Are you doing like dead lips with those?
He is.
You do, like, dead lips?
Yes.
Nice.
Jacobs, don't you do the thing where you, like, put the weight, like,
right above your pussy and, like, hump up off the side of the bench?
It's called, they're called hip thrust.
Hip thrust, you do those, right?
Yeah.
Me and Jacob and the boys do a rubber band,
resistant band workout on Saturdays once in a while.
All together?
Over Zoom, yeah.
We do.
Over Zoom?
We should all get those.
Nothing gay about that.
I'm not involved.
You should be.
I got some weights.
I got some weights in my hands.
I was fucking around with that.
You do, yeah.
Yeah.
In front of the TV?
No.
It's too small.
The Wade's blocked it.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
The weights blocked the screen.
I told Keith to come inside and see the six other gigantic TVs, but it would take him 72 hours to get through my house.
I like that Jay's really annoyed by Keith.
Are you really getting a TV?
On the one hand, on the one hand, on the one hand, on the one hand, you're saying, please don't, you know, try to down
play your house on the other hand you're getting mad when somebody else downplays it he didn't
downplay it he lies to people and says i have a 14 inch monitor outside of my house
and i'm gonna get a sound bar on that some bitch too the sound was a little low i'm just saying
good that you get you watched it from a hot tub you like an eagle's fan yes yeah all right i don't know
yes you do yeah but pennsylvania's so big you could be a fucking steelist fan yeah but philadelphia's
Philadelphia.
Yeah, but I figured you might be from that
other part. You said I wandered
over to Keith in Philadelphia?
To Western... That's only the Shane story.
Do you think we all have Shane's origin story?
From a small town in Western Pennsylvania?
Nope, I was right in Black West Philadelphia.
Playing basketball, and then Keith
found my black ass at a black comedy club
and brought my black ass up to the intrusion to you, white
motherfuckers.
He goes, I know Colin quit,
I say, sure shit, you don't.
I don't like the fact that Shane got a scholarship to West Point playing football.
It pisses me off.
Why?
Because I want to be that.
At what position?
Basketball.
I'm not going to say it.
Well, no, he was smart to do that.
You don't know the positions in basketball.
But he would have confused him.
If he said small forward, you'd be like, is that meant soccer?
Do you remember we played basketball in Japan?
Yeah, of course.
That was pretty good.
Fun.
I mean, you smoked me.
He's really good at basketball.
We played before.
It's the only sport I could.
Wait a minute.
I played with Jay years ago.
We played late night.
And it was Jay against Patrice.
Yeah.
And I have to say, Jay was very impressive.
I still remember your spin.
He had the spin move.
I ended up in my body and Patrice's large torso.
Yeah, and Patrice was really,
but he was taller.
I do better with people that are taller than me
because you can get under.
It's rare that I can get like under somebody
to move them back.
Were you there the night that we were all playing
and Sherrod Small took Matt Frost?
Yes.
And picked them up and slammed them.
Yes.
I was there.
Jay,
you were there?
You were there?
You were there and the body slammed them.
Always.
You were there, Jay.
We only played three times.
It's true.
We really did.
You were there and we got Norton pom-poms and a horn because he didn't play.
We would just watch us play.
Remember that?
We got him pom-poms and his little horn.
But we were there one night and they just got serious.
Yep.
And Sherrod just picked.
Matt Frost up and slammed
No, I'll tell you exactly what happened.
They were both holding the ball
and they both got serious
and he wouldn't let go of the ball.
So, Sherrod picked him up,
he's still holding the ball.
And you heard thump?
The whole activity was borderline dangerous
because we played, it wasn't
Fourth Street. We went over to like 27th
and like ninth in the projects.
That's why none of us stuck up
for Matt Frost
just in case we had to get out of there.
Sherrod was going to be just fine.
Do you know why?
we stopped playing right no because one night we're all playing we played like three times with
the last night the brothers in the projects were like they were like oh shit and they all came out
they're like you guys guys want to play too we went oh we're done oh we're actually just leaving
yes of course you could have my ball and you can have this little white cheerleader bald guy
I knew a kid they grew up there Irish they just be like 20% Irish those projects
Those particular ones?
Yeah.
That's kind of the Midtown, right?
Can't you say that?
No, Chelsea's joke.
Can't you say that about everywhere?
There's a gay, there was a black.
They had everything.
The place was crazy.
So you got your new, first of all, I saw your hour the other night.
I watched it.
You did?
Yeah, dude, it's infuriating that you get a whole new.
Thanks.
His first joke was so good.
He said, well, I'm going to kill it, but he's like, I don't do these crowdwork stuff.
I'm not doing any of that stuff.
I have jokes.
For losers.
And I'm going to do my jokes.
It's the lazy man's comedy.
Then he goes, what do you think about that?
Yes or no?
It was so fucking funny.
He looked at these two kids.
What do you think about that, fellas?
Yes or no?
It's such a great fucking hour.
So you're doing this new show on YouTube.
What is this about?
Well, block by block is just,
I'm selling down.
What the fuck?
We got time left.
It's me, you know, going around interviewing all those old New Yorkers.
I got a few more coming up this year.
You know what I mean?
Just people, as you know, that I just want to...
I mean, in my dream...
If I could live my dream, I would go to Target
and just grab every old lady
and just say, I want to talk to you about your life
for the next two hours and just film this.
That would be my dream.
What did you do instead?
Stand up.
Hang out with us.
Put all I'm saying, but I...
You know, I used to do all these people from little, like, every block.
Like, I'd like to do every block in New York.
So you'd like to be a scholarship West Point basketball player
who eventually went on to interview the elderly of New York.
I don't think West Point basketball.
I think he's an achievable dream.
Let me ask you a question, though, because I think I saw one of the episodes.
Is one of the guys in the episode the guy that I sat next to at your special?
No.
Maybe.
Remember the guy with the, all Pierre Cardin?
Oh, you're saying there was a plant?
He had a plant for the crowd.
No, I was going to interview.
I was actually going to interview him, and he's very sick.
Okay.
He can't interview him.
No, because at one time when I told you the whole story about a special debacle.
I told you that, right?
They set you behind a camera.
They sat me behind a fucking guy, behind cameras.
It's a lack of respect that I feel like Colin has kept his chest out about the entire time.
It's where you were going to sit.
Don't forget about the guy with Tourette's behind me.
I'm spitting in Don's hair that she just got done.
Twit-ta-ta-ta-ta-c-c-c-c-c-twitchel.
Every five-second.
Woo-w-w-w-rinsing, to-tot-tut-tut-tah.
I'm like, I fucking want to murder somebody.
Then he gives me this...
Hey, how much do you pay for that ticket, though?
What did you pay?
No, he pays for my shows.
He's the only one.
No, I pay now.
I pay now.
I never fucking...
No, you did pay.
You paid for that one.
No.
Not for that night.
You paid early.
I paid.
I paid, but you said, I got you.
That's right.
He said, I got you.
So when I walked in, I literally walked in like.
Collins got me?
I walked in like, yeah, she's going to be like, oh, Mr. Kelly, come down this way.
Oh, different entrance.
No, she went right.
Louis pointed in the door to the left, right there.
And I went, huh?
In the back of the fucking theater.
Anyways, next one.
I thought it was going to be a fire escape for you just get out.
He goes, go, now go at the back.
The next one, the next one, I got mad at you.
I'm like, I called them that night.
I'm like, this is after, they filmed a special.
I called him, I'm like, go fuck yourself.
You're a fucking asshole.
And the next one, he's like, dude, I got you.
I'll never let that happen again.
I'm so sorry, it was amazing.
It didn't happen again.
What happened again is I drove, I drove all the way two hours in traffic to make it down there.
I made it down there.
But you're only living in Westchester.
It was traffic.
And then.
But you're like,
right there at my times jay
nice it's like
it's like that was here and that was just like
it was at five o'clock
it was an accident somebody hit a deer
there was a flood there was a deer
there was a race riot yeah
so I get all the way down there
there's literally somebody waiting for me Mr. Kelly I'm like
this is what I like bring it wait right here
we're going to get you they forget about me in the hallway
I got to go hey you guys
oh yeah come with us they sit
me in a row and his
one of his friends that he he's talking about
This guy is a fuck murdered people
He's an Irish mob guy
From Brooklyn
Not like yesterday though
All Pierre Carden
Like a mocked turtleneck
Jesus
Little pinky ring
He's got a clattering upside down
Because he murdered people
I know there was a thing anymore
And I'm fat
He looks at me
He looks at me
I go hey excuse me
He's with this
He's Guma
He looks at me
I go excuse me
He goes
Ah fuck
And I'm like
I'm sorry
Like I have to get in this row
And he, come on, he goes, come on.
This guy's going to get Cheeto fingers on my Perry Ellis suit.
He goes, come on, get up, let him in.
So I kind of go, I remember that goes like a plozy.
Yeah.
I'm like, you know, she rolled her eyes as soon as she saw me.
She's like, oh, God, chewing gum.
So I get into my seat next to me is another fat girl.
She sees me immediately just puts both their fat arms on the thing.
Like, you're not getting these arms.
So I had to hold my tits.
The whole thing, and then what do I see in front of me?
A fucking camera.
Is this heaviest?
This is the heaviest part.
This is one of them.
This is, I was pretty heavy.
This is, I had to hold my tits the whole show because I would literally have touched
serial killer, friend of his girlfriend, and I would have been murdered.
And the fat's out next to me.
Fatso next to me would have fucking elbow me.
Fucking Simone I was sitting next to him.
Whatever agent friend, fat friend you would.
And then, and then there's a camera in front of me.
So I'm literally.
spending the whole show, I just wanted to look
around, I'm looking around the camera, and I'm just
mean-monged. Oh, and you're holding your tits
and trying to lean, which sucks.
It sucks. You now have no support of your
arms to, like, lean on. Like, you could lean
like this, or you could lean like this.
But I understand as a fat guy, when you're
hugging tits and trying to give yourself like some
what I would call peck cleavage almost.
Yes. You, if you lean, you're
going to, like, it's no good.
It was miserable. So now,
I don't even ask for tickets. I
just buy. I buy tickets. I buy tickets.
I get front row and I want nothing from his people or him.
But you wanted to see that you spent the money for front row.
Yeah, I do.
I do tell them that, yeah.
You said front row?
Yeah, I get front row.
Do you hate that?
No.
No.
Really?
Because when I grew up in New York,
everybody that I've ever known has been in my shows for the first few years.
Like, ah, my friends would come in start.
When I first started, it would be like, and I was, you know, when you knew you
don't even understand, like, you know, the other communities are like,
your friends are really being an asshole.
I was like, ah, what are they complaining about?
Like these professional comedians
I was like an amateur
Get the fuck out
We heard that one last time we were here
And they go you're a dick
It was a couple of fights
They tried to attack these comedians
A couple of my friends
That's all right
It's just an umbrella
And yeah
So yeah
So it was just kind of
I'm used to people I know
What's your worst
What's your worst story of
I have so many myself
Of bringing
Just the wrong
Letting the wrong person come
To a show where they fuck
Where they just fuck
the night up. I've had so many of those
where it's just
goes, I brought a, I invited
almost like just a synopsis, I invited
a guy who owned a strip club
and his bartender and they brought two
of the stripper girls, prostitute stripper
girls. Strippers are the worst audience.
For front row to watch me hosting for
Brian Regan at Carolines.
Oh my God. Story ends with one of the strippers
punching an old lady in the face in the front row.
I have my little
brother at Boston
the comics come home. They have a huge
VIP thing after and I got literally my whole family in this VIP thing which I never should
have did and my little brother who's drunk off his ass kept going Jimmy Falun sucks and I'm like
his family Jimmy Fallon's in this room it's not like we're at a bar oh and I literally said hey man
you got to stop that he's like I know but he sucked I go but you got to stop talking oh my god he's
like yeah but he sucked and I'm like I know but I grabbed him at one point I go listen to me
You gotta stop fucking saying that
Because this is gonna fuck me up
There's people here everybody's here
This is not a this is VIP
This is Jimmy's family friends agents
And he goes
He goes all right all right all right
He pulls back
And he goes but he does fucking suck
I just walked away
I just left the party
I left my party
And left my brother there
I went back to the hotel
Have you ever the pleasure
Of bringing the either or of the Steinbergs
Back somewhere with you
The guy where he goes, hey, where's your manager?
He goes, he's the guy licking the hummus off his fingers
because he dipped his fingers in the hummus.
I told him to Evan Steinberg went to an MTV meeting with me
and he was wearing the, he was wearing,
he was wearing Rocky sweatshirt from Rocky One
where he kept his hand in the tit hole pocket.
And he fucking, he hung a lug into a water cup,
put in the middle of the table.
And he goes, let's talk Big J. O'Kerson.
It didn't go great.
Oh, my God, yeah, he's a good man for that.
The Steinberg Management, I'm so glad I was involved in that for like a year and a half,
just if I can hear all these stories, man.
You did go, you went with him for a year.
I was with him, and then I told him, I gave him an ultimate, I gave him a month.
I go, you have a month to get me on Jimmy Fallon or I'm leaving.
A month of that day, I called him up, and I met him at Starbucks.
I go, you're fired.
Patrice, did me nice with the, he told me, convinced me to leave Ken Trush.
He was like an independent guy.
I remember Cantrush.
And he goes, leave Ken Truches and go with the Star.
Steinberg's got everybody right now.
It's the way to go.
Like, they're kind of working for everybody.
And so I did.
And I mean, three months later, I think it was after Bill Burr fired them for Evan physically attacking Conan O'Brien at the Aspen Comedy Festival.
You, like, put him up against the wall and ask him why Bill hasn't paneled on the show yet.
Oh, my God.
I think Bill fired him in the moment.
And then, yeah, and then Patrice just fired him.
And I was like, Patrice, you told me to come over here.
He was like, yeah, well, you know, leave too.
And I was like, but I have nowhere to go.
Like, no one's looking for me.
So I stayed.
My first manager, I thought his name was Ken, it wasn't Ken Truce, but it's Ken something.
And he would meet me.
His office was he'd meet me in the staircase in his building where he lived a walk up.
And we'd sit on the staircase in his building, and he'd talk to me about it.
You wouldn't even let me in his apartment
Which was a shitty stick
And we just sit there
I was like this is a show business
Steinberg shared an office
With another company
That wasn't in the business
I got caught up
I got caught though
At one point you thought you need
I didn't even know what an agent
The difference being an agent
The manager was
And you'd hear the word manager a lot
Because there's a lot more of them
And they were like
You know that's the thing
You needed a manager
That's kind of coming from the black circuit too
Because they would be like managed
By their cousin
Right
That's right
I just managed them
Like Keith
The Comedy Express
Yeah
But I wanted a manager
Like so bad
And like
In different times
When I was like
When did that second season
The Z Rock
It was funny because like
I didn't have a manager
I was like I need one
And Kurt Metzgervall
People's call him up
He goes
You know that guy that runs
That Tuesday night show
And at this
You know
Bar is pretty like ambitious kid
Man
I think he's ready to do something again
So he was my manager
And he would show up every day
He's just a dude
He was not like a suit guy
He would show up on set
every day wearing a suit with a briefcase
that had an apple and a piece of paper
and a new hot young assistant
that was his assistant on set
and he would just tell some girl like,
I can get you on a TV set for something.
And I gave this guy my career.
I'm like, sure, take 18% probably of everything.
Of course.
Well, by the way, we'd all like to know
about the first season of X-Roc
since anybody in the business
never heard of what you're talking about.
You're not wrong.
I have to keep it out there to everyone's mind.
Z-Rock was a...
He really brings it up like it's two and a half men.
Yeah.
Back when I was on a little show called Cheers
See Rock was a show
It was in the IFC channel
It was me
Patrice was in it
