The Bonfire with Big Jay Oakerson and Robert Kelly - Having A Good Time with Dusty Slay

Episode Date: August 7, 2025

Comedian Dusty Slay is back again and Bobby reveals that he did not like him when they first met because of his salesmanship. Dusty was opening for Bob and wanted to supplement his income by selling merch. A few headlining comics are rumored to lowball the money to the other comedians on their shows. Dusty comes from the Nashville scene with Nate Bargatze's gang, so he hasn't heard one of their favorite old stories about comedy court. In the early days, Jay did a few shows with Bobby and had to be the driver and opener. Bob assaults him while he's sleeping and then ultimately stiffs him on the cut of the money! The Comedy Cellar comedians hold a full court hearing at the back table to determine who was at fault. Go to DustySlay.com for tour dates and info! He has a new Netflix special out now called "Wet Heat." *To hear the full show to go www.siriusxm.com/bonfire to learn more!

Well, it was at the improv. And I didn't know, Dusty, at all. And I just show up and he's got a suitcase the size of my fucking body at the time. And he's just like, you mind if I sell my... Is it a bigger suitcase or a smaller suitcase? It was Fat Bobby. Not but my body at the time. You know, the thing was, I was...

I was headlining Thursday and Sunday. day he was headliner and then I was featuring Friday and Saturday it was almost like they were kind of putting him in my spot just to have he was like you know I was like who the fuck is this dude plus you look at him and he's kind of a he's a different fellow he's got the

long hair and I had a lot of merch I wouldn't a lot yeah it'd probably be off putting if the feature had so much merch like I did he had a fucking massive suitcase and he goes hey man you mine if I sell him a merch I was like fucking you you brought that fucking Louis Vuitton

boat luggage up the finest stand. Yeah, sell it. Were you selling March? No, I had, did I have something? I don't think you did. I don't know. That's why I always tell features to sell markets. I'm like, I don't tell anything, please. But it was just

like, oh, fuck me. And I've been on the road and there's a bunch. Do you mind if I sell my fucking bracelet? And then I met him. I'm like, fucking yeah, dude, sell you shit. Well, it's funny, you have a name, you have a look, you have a name that's like fit for fame. You know what I mean? It's like It seems like, so I can see when you don't know somebody

and that all those things come the right away and it's featuring for you, have a little like, who the fuck is this going? Probably energy. And you just broke your ribs or something? Yeah. Skiing or. No, that was when I did the snow tubing accident.

At your heaviest. I was at my heaviest, came down the mountain. You're not supposed to catch air when you're your heaviest, man. Oh, you catch air. I mean, I went past the snow. And I met So You hit

You had grass again You got past the snow I told you I had that my act I go I changed seasons I went back into spring And I was so My ribs

It was just a I flew there And then I just Look over And you man If I sell merch And then the suitcase Was as big as him

But then he went up And I watched his set And I was like You know what He's very funny So I'm like Okay Where was it?

It was at the Tempe Improv Yeah Yeah he went up And murdered Yeah it was great Then I was like, I'd fucking sell your merch. Yeah. But yeah, we, yeah.

You came out stage and went, I will be selling my money. He walked up and he went, they want my merch. Actually, the fans actually came out and said, we'd like his merch. Whatever you have, move it aside. They started Channing Dusty's merch at the end of your set. I'm so glad I didn't bring merch. You know what I mean? You got dominated.

Oh, they just come out. Yeah, I'm getting no more money, Bob. Sorry. Yeah, when you're only, when I was featuring, it's like, there's no money in featuring. So you just, you got to sell merch. Well, or you could become a headliner. Right. Well, that's what you told me

That's what you told me I did tell him I go, why don't you become a headliner And then you don't have to ask fucking asshole But You're absolutely right though It is interesting But it's not a path

That a lot of comedians take anymore Like regular featuring For those couple years People are skipping over that Because they can find online numbers And if you're putting asses in seats They don't give me shit It doesn't matter like who

What the talent is ultimately At least a one shot for that And that was different times so you've been doing it long enough like I said I remember like I just had like my chunk of years that I would headline here and that four times a year maybe a club at one point he got to but I was David Tell's feature Fred I just like wait and if not them if I had a lull of like a couple months where I wasn't going to be with a tell or something I'd be like yeah sure I'll come to Florida and feature for Bobby Slayton or Pablo friends I just went anyway I was I always thought I was doing a disservice to a middler letting himself fucking all his shirts and who and hurrah. It's like, dude, go become, blow me the fuck off the stage. I get it.

I get your point, for sure. Let me make it. It's just, I always thought it was just like, go become the motherfucker. So then you don't have to add, you just sell your shit. If I let you sell this, you'll stay here for a longer than you should have because you're making money. I had a guy one weekend, you know, you have those ebbs and flows in your career. I was making whatever, okay money. and he wound up with his merch

and he came up and told me with his merch and then he took his merch money and went gambled he made like $13,000 that weekend and I was like I didn't make that much I was so mad that guy seems like he's crushing it but they also gave him the club would give him these two free tickets

so if you bought merch from him you'd get two free tickets to come back to the club So I was like, fuck, man So I always thought The club gave a deal to help him out Yeah Yeah, but he was definitely He was a funny motherfucker

Like he was not gonna be middley Yeah, but you also won't be It depends Yeah I mean you can get past people Giving a shit about that As long as you get funny eventually But I do get the making money thing of it To me

To me I didn't have the Stand there with it You gotta sell it The stuff You gotta be there with it And I just didn't have the thing It was especially like if I was If I was headlining

At the lowest level It's getting small guarantees the place was half empty I was like if I go out there and like also I go I know you've already spent too much money on me today could you do $20 for this shirt I don't think it's going to wash well I just had all that kind of feeling up

I was like what am I doing like I didn't give it all away yeah I think I just had to it was I don't know it was good sometimes the bad show you felt like the show was bad and then you go out and people like go hey great show and it really changed your whole opinion about but sometimes you thought you had a good show and scummel and comes out and goes yeah as they're walking by your merch

merch Yeah merch Why would you sell That could happen to Well it's funny The guy I told this comic

Like I said You were funny I watch your set And I'm like Yeah fucking He's great But there's been comics In the middle

Who aren't funny at all They're okay And they're selling shirts And all kinds of shit They got a long merch pitch And part of it goes to charity

And I'm like dude My rent Or something Is that kind of a joke Yeah And they go into the big And they do that. So I was like, dude, why don't you not, don't do that.

You're making yourself have to do that bit every night at the end. It's fucking your comedy. Do something different. Drop the stupid T-shirt bit. Forget about the merch. You can sell your shit. It doesn't matter. So he went out the next night and he did this whole other joke that was not that good.

But then he held up a T-shirt for that joke. He just changed the fucking merch. Oh, yeah. Dude, that's the funniest. You missed the point, stupid. Anyway, yeah, oh, fuck, that's funny as hell. That's really like, yeah, I know, so I have certain people who... We and Dusty just touched feet, and we immediately felt weird.

Yeah. We both kicked our feet out and we touched, and we both ripped our feet back up. Pretty fast. This show is... What's up, brother? How you doing? No gazes. This show is known for Meat Cutes.

Yeah. Yeah, I've touched a few people on this show. It's by accident. After all, Meekut, I, you know, you say the thing about trying to get somebody some money like to have him feature for you and then like the guy made you said he made $13,000 that's always my favorite that we brought a female comic who I watched I think I've told you this before was me and Dave Smith we're going to Providence and we brought a female comic who I just saw she's like she has a kid single mom she's going through it she was

showing like you know that's like I kind of saw on her social media like with the show she was doing and I was like damn man I like this girl let me hook her up I'll have her host that weekend you know she's going to have to stay in a hotel room with me and Dave's already me and him in a hotel room you know me and him will split a bed or whatever but just get a couple of bucks i'm making nothing to headline this thing but she'll get a couple hundred bucks for it and i brought and then she was going nutty all weekend i mean just like behavior was wacky as shit kept farting a lot in front of us which i found was funny to make sure i guess we wouldn't like try to have sex orders yeah yeah that is uh that's uh that's uh that's uh that's uh definitely like

a bear spray for right but i said by third fart by third fart i went nobody was trying anything anyway but like message taken yeah no one's gonna try to hook up you but you could stop that please I don't like that at all and then uh Dave kept fart because he didn't want you to fuck him either oh is that all you gotta do so uh the last night of the shows after the show she was like gone we couldn't find her and we're like looking around it's a casino hotel and we're looking around it and then someone said they found her because she was kicked out of backstage of boys to men were performing there and she was like removed from backstage and then i caught up with her and i was like where were you at she's like

oh i went to go like gamble a little bit and everything and then i was like uh i didn't even think when she said that i was just like that's kind of weird to gamble when it's like you seem to be having a lot of money issues and then we were in the car driving home i was like well look at least you got a couple bucks this week and i hope it helps out a little bit she goes oh that money's gone yeah and i was like in my mind i was like to bill i'm giving her all the benefits of that i go i know it's like bills and diapers and stuff right it's already accounted for She's like, no, no, no, I lost that of video poker. You're like, she's farting in the car.

I lost that a video poker. And then you realize why she's in the money spot. Yeah, you're like, I guess. You're like, oh, it's not just help that you need something. You need some direction. Yeah, no shit. That's such a weird thing to keep farting until someone goes, enough. I promise, I won't do anything to you.

To the guy, the two guys on Legion of Skanks, hey, it's enough. She also knew us. It was a thing that was like, you don't really have to sell that message. Everyone was fine. Hey, guys. No one thought this was a fuck trip. I remember I had Starro sell merch for me, which was the worst ever. Because I can't sell merch either.

I hate it. There's nothing worse than not selling merch when you have merch. And people just walk by and go, hey, man, great show. Hey. And they don't buy a fucking thing. The sell is impressive. When I did the Mayam Fest with the bands, I would at the end of my set, just go, Hey, I'm going to be over there with my CD, if you guys want to buy it or the thing.

You know, the small, two, three people would come over, trickle over. I was going between the bands anyway. But when the guy who owned the festival, big personality guy, get up there, and he'd go, when I get off stage, he goes, we've got the bands are all going to start coming up here in a minute. Go before it's too late, before you can't get him anymore. You should get this guy. And the line would form, just arbitrarily. Yeah, it's got to be shirts, too.

Like, on the road, CDs, people, they don't. I mean, not now, but even then, it felt like... Rich Voss still sell CDs. I feel like CD was like I'm selling my art. With a T-shirt, you felt like you're selling out. But when I would work with these guys, I would open for these guys on the road, and I would have CDs, and I felt like I would do better than them, and they would sell way more shirts than me.

And when I would sell nothing. No shirts makes much more sense. You got to get the shirt, and then I do the no-sell sell, where I go, hey, you buy this if you want to. You don't have to buy anything. I'll be out there. But definitely come and say hi and sign my mailing list. I need something.

I need your data. Yeah. Make eye contact with me. I would always look up and there'd be people trying to buy shirts and I just look for Starvost and you'd just be talking to some fat ginger trying to get pussy. It's all he was trying to do is get pussy. I'm so bad. Dumplings in pussy.

Christine one time I brought, I think it was after Hurricane Sandy. I just had the remaining box of my CDs or 2013 or something. And you went to Providence with me and. I go, hey, I'll bring these, let me just get rid of these. Will you, like, you're a girl, go out there and, like, we'll stand, just sell these things at the end? Christine's a girl? And she walked out sometimes. Well, she's a woman now.

40. Yeah. She's a hag. God, what a geese. Oh, God. You can't get stranded with her on an island. She'd be a different person in a month. Oh, we definitely, I mean, she's 40 years old, so we can't procreate and start a new society or anything.

You want a coconut, Jay? this is our kid now god oh my god christino and i'm with that what do you have like a week's worth of meds only that sounds terrifying it sounds terrifying

i'll take to island life oh no you guys get fat and then skinny again because you'd be off your mangero we went out to uh outside afterwards like so i'm like i'll even be out there i'll go outside with you

smoke a cigarette and like just but you be like the let them know it's like cdies 10 for cdies for five dollars whatever was i mean she went out there and stood there and she goes hey it's cds i don't know you got to project it she goes i can't and she just put them on the floor and then panic walked away she just put them on the floor in front of the door and panic and then the door closed like all like moved the box so she goes i can't and then i was like what's wrong she goes i can't do it either i'm like wow that was a fucking meltdown i'm just not good at I don't know you had that was are you all right it was weird the best merch I ever sold when I toured with Dane in the arena and he would have like a concert Dane Cook he's a comic from the

90s yeah he was you except a little more energy a lot of people say Tusty Slate the modern-day Dane Cook that's my inspiration so uh it says that on your shirt dashed Dane Cook he had those like five merch counters just full with soup. Dude, the merch money this kid made was crazy. And I would put my little CD, my little just-the-tip, and I would always have like a case of those

each show, and I would go find, like I said, which is the best merch with you, like this one, and I'd sit there, and I'd sell them all. Yeah. And I would make that money. If you say the thing that would, like, I did think about, though,

in making, like, Legion of Skanks logo and stuff like that is, like, you do, a sellable logo is a cool thing to be able to have. Yeah. A good logo is, a Legion of Skanks It's like a good tattooable shirt, hat kind of logo, which is a big, big... And Dane Cook's, like, stupid Sufai, say what you will. Like, just the outline of that on a shirt, like, would look pretty cool at a time.

I would say you need a people and a catchphrase or some type of thing. We're having a good time. And you got to have a merch that's, like, cool and that people will wear, even if they don't like the show. What's your best merch? I have a shirt that says we're having a good time. And that sells the most. so yeah because it's no picture on it at all no just has that in my name it's got some bright colors anybody can wear it you can wear it and just you don't even know it's comedy you're just

like hey you could get that for somebody who are having a good time yeah and what's funny i just had at your show they are having a good time that's right they are exactly damn good i'm uh because i'm fat for when i was fatter or even i had all my like hoodies just like made you know and that's not like from a amazing company i mean just like shipped in bulk and then shirts made and those ones I've made it's so funny on people who said like dude are you selling that shit because I have like the reading is gay

and just like the dumb shit I get that I'm like oh I want a shirt that just says this and people want that as merch I'm like not even one of my jokes it's funny though reading is a shirt says slut and they're like dude where do you get the slut shirt at I go I just had a guy made it's funny because

anybody can wear it it doesn't have to be your fan and I think if you find the perfect merch that's what I thought about skanks it's everybody everybody can dude skank stuff skank fest

everybody wants that shirt when I wear it Skag Fest for sure, but I'm saying just a shirt that's just to flat out, like the circle, like the face logo, is our biggest seller thing leaps and bounds. It's just basic and, yeah. Oh, yeah. But I don't sell anything on the road at all, so if they get it, they get it online, which is great. I just can't do it. I can't, I can't, I don't want to go out there. With somebody.

I did it with Ari before. You know what I sold one year that was actually in the wintertime, I sold beanies? Because people need hats. And a lot of times they leave the house without a beanie. And then they realized, oh, that'd be cool to have that now. Sure, in the wintertime, it's great. Yeah, like stuff you need, I sell. It's not cool to be a salesman, right?

Nobody wants, it's like cool to be a comic, but nobody wants to be a salesman. Yeah. That's, but I had to, I was like, I got to make this work. But you don't want people to ask you questions either where they go, is this cotton poly blend or is it like, ah. Yeah. Yes. They go, is this? Yes, with a little bit of poly.

They would go, is this unisex? I go. Yeah, I guess. She should have been like a you. Yeah. Are you asking that dumb question? Isn't every T-shirt? You know, do you have these in women's sizes?

I go, I don't know, I have smalls. Is that what you're asking? But you're doing theaters now. Yeah. So we looked at your dates and I was saying it's always great when you read somebody like, me and Jay are like, hey, we'll be there the fourth, the fifth, and the sixth, and the seventh. Dusty's going to be in Arkansas, the fifth. And then he's going to.

With the same, if not more people. We just get it all handled in that one shot. But when you When you do a theater I like to stretch them out with a low ceiling I like where they can still smoke I only play places with indoor smoking still That's worth at though

That would be Casino Some off the off Vegas casinos They can still smoke in the showrooms Yeah The Upper Peninsula in Michigan No shit Yeah

So you're at the theaters Now that's way better to sell merch because they have usually somebody there doing it for you. It's up before the show people can buy it. And then you do your meet and greet and you're on the other end of the meeting and greet, right? Yeah, now, yeah. I mean, I have just reached a point where I do have someone

that sells my merch, so it is good. Do you let your meddlers sell their merch? Yes. Really? Yeah, but it's usually my friends. Okay. I don't really get paired up with people randomly. You have your friends.

You still have them go out and sell their own? Yeah. That's a good move. So I go. Make some money so I don't have to pay. you as much yeah yeah that's a problem if they ever exposed what you're making people start eating that shit yeah he's like you know someone's going we pay so oh they did that with uh what's his name uh theo vaugh yeah someone said he was paying

like low but i don't even know what that means necessarily yeah i'll tell you yeah i said nick cannon loo i mean dude i thought dame was paying low dude that is the best nick cannon pete paula davidson when he was young and he was going out opening for Nick Cannon a little bit. He came back. He told us, before we even saw, like, his cribs or anything, he was telling us the funny thing. We didn't believe that they have a functioning,

staffed candy store at their home. Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey the time we were still together. Staffed candy store, which we had hours of laughs about that. She's complaining of things. He goes, why are we overstocked on Red Hots? He goes, because you're allergic to him, Mr. Cannon. I told you're the only person who shops at the store. It's a store in your house.

Is that way? You bought Radio Shack? You bought an electronic store his house? I need an RF cable We're out of those What a dumb investment Yeah I just bought Radio Shack Why

He has a candy store That he buys candy from In his own house He's gonna stock it He has to walk through the back With a pencil He goes, okay I think lemonheads were good

For the year No more lemonheads Does he have one of those sliding ladders He has to climb up on To get to the top of the Christine could find a video of it for sure It's out there It's pretty great

But he was telling us about all that And just like the inordinate amount of money This guy has and spends And then it was like he would do a weekend with him at a place and he goes it's cool man I get to get experience I mean everything's like his whole life is like first class he goes and I get 200 bucks

oh yeah and we'd be like 200 bucks a show it's like no total is like 100 bucks a night it was like really grotesquely bad we were like what the fuck and he's pretty I think he does a lot of like the man you get some crazy experience no listen Nick Cannon was saying his name way young oh yeah Dusty's middle has just got an upgrade

call him 300 bucks a night he just made a note you had to go that's crazy man what ass you're pulling those numbers out of make it 300 dollars in late you remember when i got taking a court i got taken to a comedy court i think it was the first comedy court ever oh buddy it was it was i was so young and you could appreciate you got taken back at back at the comedy seller back table back in the day when it was you know norton patrice voss keith and little kid Kevin and Jay and me and Colin. DePaolo.

I took Jay. The outskirts people were the Bill Burrs and stuff. Like they were the people that were like sort of getting in like with the circle of like every night being there. Yeah. So one night they found out. I was taking little, little big Jay on the road with me, colleges. Well, it was our first one. It was our first one we did.

Yeah. You came to town and me and Kevin Hart were hanging out together at the time. And so Keith Robinson was mentoring us, kind of bring us around Bobby. and Bobby offered Kev a weekend with him. He goes, hey, you want to blah, blah, blah, you know, go to me to these three colleges, you know, I'll take care you. And he couldn't do it.

Could you imagine that? I did that with Kevin Hart, and that piece of shit's never put me in a thing? Well, here's the thing. He turned you down then also and said, before he was anything. Before he was in the cellar,

he said no to your gig. but he goes hey jays uh dumb and fat and has a car and he'll do it and then so i got it through kev to you and you were like yeah sure and i drove from south jersey yeah still living down there and i picked you up in new york because you were here visiting you were just here to do gigs yeah i know you lived in l.a still and i picked you up and we drove first night like really far up like canada almost wow erie or some and then we drove and then we drove back down to new york city and stopped for to sleep a couple hours at Bobby's apartment. Yeah.

With his now wife at the time, fiancé, I think. And they were up there. No, I was sure as my family. I was definitely cheating on her back then. Okay. But nice place. Nice place. And I, it was in one bedroom, so Bobby and his chick obviously went in the room.

And I was just like, I just watch TV and sleep in the chair or whatever. And I, again, substantially fatter than I maybe now. Woof snoring. It was hard. Driving Bobby. who had not been fat like that yet, nuts. He's not having sympathy for me. He's having your fucking my night up.

I was, what he's having. I needed to get sleep because we had to leave the next day. And this tub of shit was in the other room. I think he was sit sleeping, which was bugging. I was. Just lie down, you fat, so and get a pillow. This was 20-some years ago. It was like 25 years ago.

I went out and threw something. I threw it out. No, so he got out. I know exactly what it was. It's hard to block out a snore. No. It's hard to block. Once you hear it, I don't, I don't even know if I knew I snored yet.

Yeah. I was 22. I was like, this fucking kid, she's like, he's big, just, it's okay. He can't control it. I'm like, yeah, he can't, wake the fuck up. Wake up, let me fall asleep. She's like, just let him, maybe see if he eats. So yeah, she desperately tried.

Yeah, yeah. See if he wants a sandwich. See if he wants to have something to eat. Shuff something in his mouth. Did you bring up a picture to show how fat I was? Who does that? people that leather thing on his wrist that was actually to hold his

fat in I was seeping he got that from the circus wow I have never seen this I was leaking from I was leaking from the wrists wow so look at that fat mitt

you have old catchers mid hands I thought I was doing alright these black people love me that was the guy I took on the road and that was a guy that was snoring on my That was a guy, and snoring, but, but personality never was Pete did his bad boys of comedy. It was a very nice boy.

One of the nicest. And Bobby, though, comes out at the time, not a father yet, one of the meanest. And he came out while his wife in a robe is trying to stop him. I kind of start hearing the commotion and then wake up to feel. He threw a fun-sized pack of peanut Eminem's at my head, and it perfectly boxed my ear. So I looked up to ringing, and I was like, you know, you couldn't hear. for a second I was like

this is why Kevin Hart didn't want to do the game in fairness certainly Dusty in fairness I thought he was going to instantly wake up and catch it

in his mouth he did someone to tell him that it's like awakenings when they threw them the ball they would catch it I thought he was going to and get it

and I was just going to wake him up with a snack I thought it was just a treat he's like wake up here's my wife's going to make you a middle of the night sandwich she's still mad at me if I bring that up

she's like you're a fun that was really She's still, she also watched me be, like, she watched rage build up in me of, like, a dude, a 22-year-old, like, dude. And then saw me go, like, he's one of the dogs, man. He's one of the guys to table. Like, I got to, he's taking me on the road. We still have two more gigs to do. Yeah.

You know what a problem that fucking big boy would have been? Yeah. As he's just sitting on my chest, finger plopping my wife, feeding my M&Ms. Yeah, yeah. Well, how are the shows? Well, I did not do very old. Colleges were never really my speed because I was always going dirty or even when I shouldn't have and was younger

and didn't really know how to finesse it at all. I killed. Bobby? Murdered. The guy, by the way, the reason he might as well tell you he was cheating on his wife at that time was because the guy was going to colleges and there was like a line that wanted autographs, a line that wanted pictures, and a line that already had their bannies off. That's why you don't sell merch.

Yeah. Yeah, I never had that problem. I was like, I needed to draw them in with something. It had to be shirts. So the shows, I was not, I was underperforming, let's say, and Bobby is murdering. And now I'm just a fat guy on his way, but I was driving. He didn't have a car here because he was just visiting. So then we drive, like, up, and then we go to Connecticut, like this direction, to far, hours.

We do that show, and then we drive through the night to go to, like, way down. to Maryland and then I again now I'm uncomfortable I'm like this guy's my fat is bothering this guy I'm aware of that hyper self-aware it's just because this one bug me about Jay we stop I'm like I also asked about Dane Cook every five

that was terrible he kept trying to get me to teach him to the Sufi I'm like I don't do it Bobby snapped at one point because I was in the middle of my 15th time going like the guy's just got something I don't know it's when you see another show is not going good like he's a guy that can come out and like really and Bobby's like it's a

formula dude he's got a formula he's got a formula I did say that you bobbed on me so yeah and then we went you know I finally I was eating healthy at the time because I was in the show oh it's not that's on the way back

what you're talking about on the way out what happened was I know my fat's bothering us so I'm trying my best to like we're in the car's not big and Bobby took a shift to driving for a little bit so I could sleep it was going through the night and then when I woke up to him going like yo dude dude dude and I'm like what and then I realize like I'm like mouth open drool sucking on his shoulder basically in the car

and he's like the fuck is he's like wet on his shirt and it's like oh my god I'm like I'm fucking up so bad then on the on the way home yeah we're gonna drive we're driving all the way back now which by the way that's the funniest thing is past where I lived in South Jersey to drive me two hours up to drop Bobby off at Matt Frosthouse and then for me to turn back around and drive down the thing but no it was at my apartment you drop me off at my apartment I lived oh you're right you were there it's right I'm guessing he didn't let you crash on the chair for a little bit no no okay it's two hours getting forgot yeah you're right you're right you weren't visiting you were there already I was there already I was there already

I just had moved back yeah yeah and um and we were driving and I was I was eating healthy trying to stay healthy I was in shape and I finally broke and I was like let's go we were talking He goes, Jay's fat. No, went to Wendy's. I know why you think it's Taco Bell. This is what made you furious. We pull into the drive-thru, and Bobby's like, oh, good. And Josh Adam Myers treats me like this today still.

He goes, let's order McDonald's. You're like, dude, I don't want it. It's so bad. But it's like, well, I, what do you mean? You're my fat guy. You'll eat McDonald's, and then I can eat McDonald's tonight. Yeah. It infuriated me his order, because I thought he was just going to order, like, nine

hamburgers, fries, and nuggets. And then he orders the... Taco salad. I wanted to punch him in the fat. He's like, what the, how did you get this way? And then when we went out, we got in the car and we parked so we could eat, and Bobby's got his burger and chicken sandwich, whatever, from nuggets. I was like, I'll have some of your nuggets.

And then I go, and we sit down, we parked the car, take all the food out, and then I go, ah. And Bobby's like, what's wrong, dude? I go, they just didn't give sour cream. And, like, sour cream's, like, the thing in Mexican food for me at all. So then we had to, it's closed. like so it's only drive-thru so we had to re-waiting the late night

everyone's in the line drive-thru I ought to get fucking fato sour cream on a salad so Bobby's laughing at me and you hate to do it but you're like I gotta I need the sour cream where this is a wasted meal yeah I should have got a burger and chicken soup

it's crazy didn't try walking up to the window we packed the line on the drive-thru was it puts back it bugged me so bad then then we drove back and we went home and Bobby um I was back out on the road and go to phone call

he was in the road and got a phone call because from the table lot from the table and I just I listen when you got you could hear the atmosphere in the background of you know ah and you're screaming you Bob Bob and it was Patrice Bobby and they put me they put me no what the word the word's gonna happen to my angle of that when I got to the cellar they just say that they go because This is almost a punchline. No one knows you. They go, what did Bobby?

You goes, how was the weekend with Bobby? And I'm wrong. You weren't back on the road. Just to quick get this thing. No, you were still living in L.A. Throwing the thing in my ear was another time. Okay. That was definitely a time when you lived here, for sure.

But they had the rest of the haywire, the three cities and everything is exactly what's happening. And I'm sitting at the cellar, and I think it was great. I'm like, that went actually really good. You know, I did okay on the shows, but we had a good time. We laughed a bunch. That was fun. How was the weekend of Bobby? It was great.

such a good time he goes what do you pay you i went uh 300 and they went oh 300 a show that's pretty good and i'm not mad i'm just correcting them yeah no no no no no no it was uh it was 300 total and they were like a hundred dollars a show and then they called bobby hang on a second you saw him i had to feed that yeah it's actually so food was included food and yes okay that's 500 a show this is this 5 to 700 a shell and I was like and I'm going they're like that's crazy like that's so low and I'm like oh it's fine

I mean the experience was good it's colleges and they're like they're just not letting it go now that's fucked up and they're gusing me but I'm not getting gooseed then we're calling Bobby right now and I'm like I'm begging them in the background Bobby hears me going Bobby I'm not complaining about this isn't me yeah I'm not doing it

and they're like that's fucking crazy and they put them on trial right there. Patrice was my lawyer. Keith was Bobby's lawyer. I wish I had Patrice. Yeah, Patrice won. And then they drew the tables used to be able to draw on them with chalk and stuff. And they just drew a front page of the paper with Bobby behind bars for ripping up. Then Bobby, so we hung up and this is like not like everyone had a cell phone necessarily because I went home the next day and I got a call on my house phone at my mom's house that I lived at 22 with from Bobby. and he just goes, you don't tell people what you make, dude. Like a dirty rat.

I feel like you had the right attitude, though, right? Nobody has that attitude now where they're like, this is good experience for me. I don't mind the money. I make shit money for years. Yeah. One of the most difficult things is when you're with people who keep informing you that they're not making a lot of money,

the thing is like, yeah, because, you know, featuring it's only like $100 show. So it's like, you know, the weekend. By the time I try, I'm not talking about somebody I bring. Yeah. Some of somebody who just did it and got the gig and they go, I drove here from Kentucky, you know, it's Ohio. It's just like,

the miles is like, you know, I wish they paid more for featuring. You're like, I'm sorry to hear that, man. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. I have, like, Danny and Joe, the guys I take on the road,

I give them good money or the club will pay them and I'll give them extra. But they would do it for nothing. They just want to do stand-up, and they can't do stand-up on Fridays and Saturdays, Where's the money now happens young? Where is the money is a young, young comedians now. I think funny, I think funny comics, though, like, we never gave a fuck.

I mean, we made, I made food at the seller money. No, of course. Comics, though, you're saying the thing is, like, you can get in the world of live performance coming off of just internet stuff. Yeah. And you've made lots of money from your internet stuff. Oh, yeah. Like, I'm going to go live.

You're like, well, I'm going to go to a $1,200 guarantee weekend, and fucking the Providence comedy. connection they're like why would i do that i have a question for you real quick your special name yeah what where and why because it doesn't sound it sounds a little erotic i like that that it sounds that way you know you don't know if it's like a 90s kind of sitcom on u.ss or like a little sex and a little murder oh yeah those dromedies yeah like a Miami buddy cop film earn notice sounds like a lesbian cop show yeah that's what i'm saying that's what i like i like people to go Ooh, what's that's all about?

That's a shirt. Is Dusty's tubbing his toes into salacious waters? But it's just a weather joke, you know? You go to Phoenix and it's real hot and they go, yeah, but it's a dry heat, you know, and they act like their heat's better than my heat, you know? So I say, well, I like a wet heat. A soaking wet heat. Yeah, that's the kind of heat I like.

And because it's you're clean, like it's a probably very low notes, which is a big deal. Yeah. When you're making something, you want low notes.

Yeah. You're right. I mean, you probably get no notes. Well, I just make the special and then pitch it to them. Oh, okay. So it wasn't Netflix produced. Right. Okay.
