Starting point is 00:00:49 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
Starting point is 00:01:01 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
Starting point is 00:01:16 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
Starting point is 00:01:28 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
Starting point is 00:01:44 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
Starting point is 00:02:02 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
Starting point is 00:02:16 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.
Starting point is 00:02:30 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.
Starting point is 00:02:52 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.
Starting point is 00:03:12 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.
Starting point is 00:03:21 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.
Starting point is 00:03:35 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.
Starting point is 00:03:48 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.
Starting point is 00:04:06 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.
Starting point is 00:04:19 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
Starting point is 00:04:28 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
Starting point is 00:04:38 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
Starting point is 00:04:46 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
Starting point is 00:04:56 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
Starting point is 00:05:12 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
Starting point is 00:05:27 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
Starting point is 00:05:43 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.
Starting point is 00:06:05 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.
Starting point is 00:06:23 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.
Starting point is 00:06:39 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
Starting point is 00:06:54 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
Starting point is 00:07:07 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.
Starting point is 00:07:24 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
Starting point is 00:07:54 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
Starting point is 00:08:05 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.
Starting point is 00:08:24 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?
Starting point is 00:08:38 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
Starting point is 00:08:52 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
Starting point is 00:09:09 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

Starting point is 00:10:17 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.
Starting point is 00:10:43 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?
Starting point is 00:10:56 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.
Starting point is 00:11:15 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.
Starting point is 00:11:28 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,
Starting point is 00:11:43 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
Starting point is 00:12:16 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
Starting point is 00:12:35 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.
Starting point is 00:12:50 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.
Starting point is 00:13:12 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.
Starting point is 00:13:22 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.
Starting point is 00:13:35 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
Starting point is 00:13:51 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
Starting point is 00:14:02 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?
Starting point is 00:14:14 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.
Starting point is 00:14:55 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.
Starting point is 00:15:07 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.
Starting point is 00:15:24 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?
Starting point is 00:15:40 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.
Starting point is 00:15:56 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.
Starting point is 00:16:12 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.
Starting point is 00:16:32 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.
Starting point is 00:16:43 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.
Starting point is 00:16:53 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,
Starting point is 00:17:07 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.
Starting point is 00:17:18 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.
Starting point is 00:17:40 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
Starting point is 00:17:55 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.
Starting point is 00:18:10 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.
Starting point is 00:18:22 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.
Starting point is 00:18:45 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?
Starting point is 00:18:55 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.
Starting point is 00:19:10 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
Starting point is 00:19:20 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
Starting point is 00:19:29 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

Starting point is 00:19:57 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.
Starting point is 00:20:10 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.
Starting point is 00:20:30 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.

Starting point is 00:21:37 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?
Starting point is 00:21:51 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.
Starting point is 00:22:04 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.
Starting point is 00:22:15 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.
Starting point is 00:22:23 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
Starting point is 00:23:01 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?
Starting point is 00:23:22 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.
Starting point is 00:23:42 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.
Starting point is 00:23:55 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.
Starting point is 00:24:07 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.
Starting point is 00:24:18 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.
Starting point is 00:24:32 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.
Starting point is 00:24:43 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.
Starting point is 00:24:51 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.
Starting point is 00:25:09 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?
Starting point is 00:25:23 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.
Starting point is 00:25:39 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.
Starting point is 00:26:10 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.
Starting point is 00:26:24 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.
Starting point is 00:26:37 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?
Starting point is 00:26:55 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.
Starting point is 00:27:07 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
Starting point is 00:27:24 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.
Starting point is 00:27:42 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.
Starting point is 00:28:08 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.
Starting point is 00:28:23 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.
Starting point is 00:28:45 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.
Starting point is 00:29:03 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.
Starting point is 00:29:09 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.
Starting point is 00:29:24 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.
Starting point is 00:29:41 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.
Starting point is 00:29:54 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
Starting point is 00:30:11 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
Starting point is 00:30:27 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

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.
Starting point is 00:31:36 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.
Starting point is 00:31:53 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
Starting point is 00:32:11 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.
Starting point is 00:32:26 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.

Starting point is 00:32:43 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,
Starting point is 00:32:51 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

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.

Starting point is 00:35:03 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.
Starting point is 00:35:25 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.
Starting point is 00:35:47 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.
Starting point is 00:36:09 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.
Starting point is 00:36:36 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.
Starting point is 00:36:52 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
Starting point is 00:37:11 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
Starting point is 00:37:21 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
