Because Keith would be like, you have to do something besides just porn and dirty shit.
We'd have something else now. I was like, I don't have anything else.
And then they call it the porn button. Like you can see if I get on stage now, I was like,

worse than back in the day when you'd be on on stage and you'd be doing your bit and
you'd be killing and you look out and you see Keith in the hallway
with Norton and Patrice just judging you and you're up there you know I'd be fucking
a stool or whatever I was doing and they'd just be looking at you thumbs down.
He's the worst.
One time we got boss.

Patrice, Keith, and this black comic, I don't know who it was, was supposed to come,
but they didn't have, uh, she didn't get her passport.
So he's struggling. The guy's flipping out who put the show, it's sold out.
It's a black show.
And he's like, put dumb bob up.

It's a, it's a black show.
He's like, fuck, they got him to put me up.
And I went out.
I think I was wearing my evening gown. I was wearing my evening gown.
I think that was that night.
I was wearing my evening gown.
I was also doing black show.
Hey, as long as you get your bell bottom,
it's only just like an asshole.
You should come do this.
So I remember I went out and the guy was real nervous.
I went out, Jay, I fucking killed.
Yeah.
I killed so bad.
They started chanting my name.
Bobby, Bobby, Bobby, but with that accent,
Bobby, Bobby, I look off to the right.
He's going on after me.
I remember I was coming off stage.
They were chanting my name. I killed so hard and Keith is like doing shadow box
In Patrice just push Keith out of the way. Go excuse me sir. Push them out of the way. Go sir. Mr. Kelly
Please
I was an amazing set Mr. Kelly
I was an amazing set Mr. Kelly. Oh, they are in the channel.
He's stupid name.
Oh, angry.
Yeah.
Well, it's funny.
I've always said that when, uh, and this isn't a, uh, a Keith bombing story about any stretch
at all, but when we met me and Keith met, it was at the airport on the way to do a gig
that Michael Blackson.
Yeah.
I was, I stopped doing cut-co knives that day.
I was like, well, I guess I'm gonna miss the third day
of cut-co training.
And I got on, I met Keith and Keith,
he'd seen me at the cellar before.
I didn't know Keith at all.
And I opened for him on this show.
And Keith, it was great.
There wasn't a Keith in too great.
But I had those people falling out of their chair
because I took my clothes off.
And away about it.
No, it wasn't better.
It was just a dip.
I'm taking my clothes off.
Keith's doing bits.
Like he's like doing comedy.
I was, but I was in those times you couldn't tell me anything because as
Keith's going, he's sitting down.
He's trying to give me advice.
He's like, hey, you got to come to New York and you got to blah, blah, blah.
And he's like, you know, you're working.
He even goes, he goes, the stuff was like to take it off the pants. Like, hey, it's funny come to New York and you got to blah, blah, blah. And he's like, you know, you're working, he even goes, he goes, the stuff
was like, taking off the pants like, hey, it's funny, but anyone can do it.
And he's doing the whole thing.
And I'm like, and as he's talking to me constantly, morbidly obese black woman
are like, hmm, can we take a picture with you?
And I'm, excuse me, Keith is it?
Excuse me.
I got to go over and take a picture in front of like an airbrush, two-pock backdrop
or something.
And then I keep coming back over to Keith and I'm like, well you say it again? And I went outside to shit talk Keith to Kev.
I called Kev and I go, this dude's in there telling me I gotta stop doing this.
We should go to New York and he goes, oh yeah, no, I talked to him too.
I think he's like legit like in the scene.
I was like, it was a fettin' fall.
I really should keep like in the beginning. I was like, it was a fed up fall.
I really keep like in the beginning.
I was like, this guy's in there saying he doesn't even,
I just took, he didn't take pictures with more than
four more but Leo piece black women.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
And then came up black.
That was my black game.
Dude, what a rude awakening though.
And I came to New York.
That's what was the funniest, because Kurt was,
Kurt was being Kurt Metzger in black rooms
and doing okay to find to terrible, whatever it would be.
I learned how to do really a kill in those rooms.
And then Keith Bros. writes in New York
and I'm going on two in the morning
at the Boston Comedy Club for four French people
and a disinterest of couple.
And I'm going like, P Diddy's crazy, huh?
P Diddy, man, that guy, that guy will be on any song.
P diddy.
You can't even take it close off because it's just weird
and perverted.
He's already said don't.
Not a crowd.
It's just four people in your naked.
I would have, I absolutely would.
But I was, I don't know if I ever told, Keith,
I don't know if you even know this one.
So when you said that, just stopped, you know, like,
as the clicking your clothes off,
not really doing stand-up comedy,
I took that soda heart,
but I was so used to going at very least
on Thursday nights at the laugh house.
I mean, I took my club,
Pete, nobody wanted to go after that,
because it would destroy.
So hard.
And then when Keith told me to stop doing it, I
um, I was like, yeah, it's because it's not real comedy. But I was like, I need something
big because like I like getting off stage to that. So funny how I don't know how to close
comedy shows now. I'm just like, so you guys are awesome, man. Thanks. But at that time,
it was like, you need that explosion and be like, oh, big J fucking good night. I hate, I hate ending the shows now too, because I fucking end them at the wrong. I'm like, you need that explosion and be like, I'm a big J, fucking good night. I hate ending the shows now too,
because I fucking end them at the wrong.
I'm like, I get the laugh and then I go one more.
Me too, I enjoy it myself and I'm like, I'm like,
cry.
And then I go one more.
That's it, I guess.
And then I go, the other night I just went,
hey guys, good, good to be here.
And then they were looking at me like is that it I was
like fucking by.
Yeah, it's fucking I suck.
I have no idea.
I fucked up.
I ended the wrong.
I did baseball stadiums with bird all summer even when I'm done I say my last joke when
I could it gets a good laugh and you can go hey you guys been amazing they laugh and
I go.
Can I do?
No, there's not really time.
Hey guys, thank you so much for it.
It's just like a real genuine.
I'm comfortable endings, but I used to but I used to
Want to get that big explosion and I didn't think my jokes were that good. Yeah, I kind of knew that and I remember this is the one day
I wore keep wasn't there for this, but I
I wore a string. I told you this probably I think around my neck and
But I wore a string, I told you this probably, I think, around my neck and taped it right above my nips.
I taped it there with extra string on either side.
So in my bag, I brought two giant tin foil rings, huge.
And right before I went on stage, I tied the rings to the string.
So it looks like the joke is there obviously like 12 inch big nipple rings
would be the joke. I didn't have a joke. I just did my, I did my whole set standing like this.
So I hoping nobody would see these rings. Just so at the end of the set I can go,
guys real quick, before I get out of here, I got some new piercings. Tell me if they're too much
and I just lifted this shirt in there. He was always one day. I dude, I had to, I don't know why I was so afraid.
And then when I brought back the getting undressed thing to go
against to rain of contests, it was in front of not the hip hop
crowd, black crowd. And I'll tell you what, paying money,
Mars Chestnut looking black crowd does not want to watch a fat
white guy and Carl can I sure shoes or pants get take his pants off and they did not enjoy that

He did with white comics.
Yeah.
Don't bring your white shit in it.
He goes, he goes, they were called comedy expressor.
No, they were comedy expresso.
No, but yeah, within my head, more than any.

Chippin' your shoulder.
Yeah, and a chippin' my shoulder, being from South Philly.
All we did was getting race rides on white guys.
Yeah.
Canton Tasky, right?
Yeah.
Tasky projects?
Yeah.
Why would you get, what, what, what, what, what, what, like a tie-in guys or something?
No, Irish, Italian.
It just was what it was.
I'm telling my father grew up in the same thing.
It's hilariously like, it was that and it was. I'm telling my father grew up in the same thing. It's hilariously like
It was that and it was like you can run a block and then as soon as you cross the street onto the right block
Right 15-year people were like they wouldn't even chase you if you got it off the block
You're done. You're home free. Yeah home free. It's like we're not crossing over to there because then they'll we chase right back
It's like tag of some
Yeah, and it's all right, but there was, there was a civil war of whites going on also.
So what's your all just but?
Well, I will tell you what,
Italians hated the Irish.
Yes.
Irish hated the Italians.
And they were going in.
Yeah.
So they all started fucking eventually and then no such thing.
A bunch of freckles, Sicilians.
Nobody wants that. Nobody wants that.
Nobody wants that.
And nobody wants cabbage or a sauce.
Yeah, that's what it was.
So when I came into the comedy world, then you could imagine going into the comedy in
1984.
Yeah.
Like, like music on my life
Soon though went up in the comedy
Factory outlet I learned he we lose in
Well because the time like of the rap music to not it would have to be like pop like busta move to shit
It wouldn't be it wouldn't be like public enemy or like
But it was the white club was playing white music
Man work bugger. Yeah
Yeah, all of them. Johnny, you know, all end.
Oh, shit.
That is the thing.
Black comics do have a hilarious working knowledge of white music usually just from
like being in like those clubs.
Being in that that's where I, I mean, I'm racist when it comes to music.
I know.
Black only.
I'm driven with you.
Is that what you always all those white comics? Black only, but it started to chip away at my black soul.
There was the only thing I had gone was I could list if Keith and Kim fell asleep in the car.
I was driving home. I got to listen to my white music. I get to put on some white music for myself.
Yeah, but you know, but that's what it was is like
bone. Who's doing the special you Netflix, right? Yes. So it's your doing twos
in that Rachel. Number Rachel's doing Monday. She's a mother. So
a child. Look, there's a lot of dumb mothers out there. Yeah. He says she's not a good mother to her face.
Yeah. He says she's not a good mother to her face.
Yeah.
He's literally the worst.
No, Rachel.
You don't love your baby.
Right, Rachel's on a Monday.
Mine's on a Tuesday.
Hell yeah.
Well, we were doing Colin Quinn's thing.
This is what a piece of shit Keith is.
I don't know why, I'm even friends with you.
We're driving to do Colin Quinn's driving theater,
the HBO thing during the pandemic.
Mm-hmm. And Rachel had talked to Keith and said, Driving to do Colin and Quinn's driving theater the HBO thing during the pandemic
And Rachel had talked to Keith and said hey, will you guys pick me up? He's like yeah, we'll pick you up
So we're driving to the gig we get all the way to the park and then Rachel's like calls it goes hey, where are you guys?
He said you pick me up because ah fuck her. We were at the gig.
She had to get her own ride there.
And then so she's so mad, she's like,
why the fuck wouldn't you pick me up?
Like I didn't know.
So after the show, he's like, all right,
well, we're gonna drive, we're going back,
we're going back in the city, go to the cell
and have food and shit.
He goes, all right, we'll meet you over there
and he didn't tell me.
So we just left.
So we got to the, I'm sitting down eating out front. front all of a sudden Rachel comes up. What the fuck guys? He told that we were
gonna meet her in the parking lot. Never told me and just said, God, take off.
Well God got him back because one day they did drop off Rachel Feinstein and then got
arrested. You know, you've got arrested. The thing thing with while Rachel was such a dumb dumb. Like, you know, they, I got, everybody knows the story.
But the cops give me a good beating.
I go to the hospital.
Dom Kav goes to the, you know, holding cell.
Dom Kav gets his snickers bar taken by a homeless guy.
That's a rookie mistake.
He rushed them to the ground, took his snickers bar.
And that's so when I got back in there, I wanted to sell calve left about 9, 10 in the morning.
Rachel comes to her room.
She has a cheeseburger.
She can give me the cheese that can I give him this?
She can give me the cheeseburger and then she's like,
looking around on all the suspicious things.
Look inside the burger.
I want?
What?
Look inside? I look I want what look inside?
I was a note in there. Who's a nail file?
I was a note. We can all get you out of here.
I was a note. Could you say that?
Yeah, I was a note.
There's a note in your burger.
That's a rookie mistake. Life is full of challenges,
but it's also full of rewards.
Like trying to keep your kids entertained on a road trip. That can be challenging, right Keith?
You stop packing video games and getting rested by the cops?
Would be enough, but it's not. It's a rookie mistake.
Save your sanity with Snickers, a special treat for good behavior.
Let's say you finally got that challenging project done to work. You're feeling pretty good about yourself
You know what you're thinking you deserve a treat a cookie a fancy latte
Not maybe a hamburger with a note in it that he's gonna be gonna get you out. No, that's another rookie mistake
Nothing satisfies quite like a Snickers now. It's game day the game's coming over
You're entertaining everything is planned from dips to dinner, but dessert recipe, whoops, yeah,
it didn't work out so well.
Another rookie mistake.
Thankfully, you got to stash your Snickers.
Maybe your team didn't win, but you dessert sure did.
Sometimes, all it takes is a Snickers bar to come back from life's little challenges.
Rookie mistake, maybe you just need a Snickers.
Snickers, the official chocolate bar, sponsor of the NFL.

The problem is that a pandemic happens.
And then three months later, I go to headline. I go, I I don't remember anything I said before I have to relearn entire hour of
coming that I don't remember all you go up on a roast and you bomb so bad
because you didn't write anything that was in Fairness Keith was set up to
fail that roast they wanted to do bad they wouldn't have laughed if it was good
I I learned a set not I learned that lesson from you guys. No, I said this
I'll never forget this moment where I watch that happen
That's untrue. That's untrue fucking untrue
No, because you I don't want him cutting back Kelly's getting real
Did nurse get okay?
Untrue as I live in
He went up on the other roast there was a roast before that that he went up and just winged it and killed.
That's why he thinks you can just go up
and wing the fucking roast.
He could have.
Okay, this one, Ben Bailey went and wrote Holy Shit jokes
and smashed this cock sucker.
Be so good.
Oh, that was the Kev breaking off the wing
and flying that kind of joint.
It's really one of the best roast jokes ever heard.
One of the best roast jokes ever.
That was the one that made me angry.
And this piece of shit rolled in thinking he was gonna follow that and
Didn't and halfway through you see him reaching his pocket and grabbing. Oh, you want written jokes and he had a joke and he read it and that bomb
Then he almost told he almost hit SD in the face almost punched her yeah, cuz she went up to grab you and you would get the fuck out of here
He held it. That's it
And then they turned the lights out and he goes out fucking'll fucking step hell all night. Remember that? I remember Don Tay, he's sitting looking. I want to fight
Don Tay on the big guy. No, but you said something to Ben. You went, I'm telling you right
now and Ben went, oh, what? And he was like, uh, nothing. Remember that? Uh, you took
a hot one. It was a great. He deserves every second of it.

front. He dressed up for it. He were like nice clothes. And he used to have a joke, Sean, that was
about like dancing in clubs now is basically like having sex. And he does his whole thing where he's
like getting down the ground. He's like, whoa, whoa, hold on, baby, give me a shoe holder. So,
somebody give him, oh, it's like rodeo. Somebody get, and he's laying down the ground. He's like, whoa, whoa, hold on, baby, give me a shoe horn or something. Well, somebody give him, oh, it's like rodeo.
Somebody get, and he's laying on the ground.
And by the, it ends with him like,
humping the ground on his like, laying on his stomach.
It was a five-day.
Yeah, yeah, he's humping his stuff.
And he gets up, the stage was dirty as hell.
The crowd's not laughing while he's on the floor at all.
