We went to we parked over by Washington Square Park. It was 420 Yes, it was the park was packed with degenerates if they could have just used a little mustard gas They would have took a lot of the problems in New York City away on the problems would have been handled right in that park They were lightsaber fighting But I will say also there was a black guy with reckless abandon doing crazy back flips off a ledge Without thinking or caring who was walking behind me at all I mean he almost made double foot contact with this other big black guys face Yeah, but everyone handled it really calm and cool and collected because a weed Hey, it is a performance enhancing drug and we did see the Saturday night live character miss miss Pat was actually in the pit to yesterday. Oh, no, what the fuck was that thing? Yeah, I mean Bobby film it. I don't know. It was like a fat guy with just like a big muster Again, I'm always taken back by the like the person who goes the other direction like I'll never look cool in any way So let me be a fucking like look like a fucking figment of someone's imagination Like somebody just was designed by a boy's dream. Oh man. Oh, I got it right I got to see this you should have like big bird legs or something like everything was wrong with this guy This guy he had four different bodies to make one body here. It is right there. I Really love this guy. Oh my god. Yeah, he looks like a like a constable in like a Dr. Seuss book he definitely like talks like with a whimsical like Everybody look at him in the crowd. He just sticks out in the crowd. Oh my god Oh, I'm fucking unfortunate. Yeah, he looks like a like a character in like yellow submarine from the Beatles Yeah, he does a good Beatles drawing Well, he's got that unfortunate thing where he wears pants that show you that at some point his legs stop and somewhere right around upper thigh Gut circle just begins to start. That's where my that's what my great-grandfather's body looked like but taller in Italian not so Well, he had to make the uncomfortable choice that a lot of fat guys make that we have to make we all get is it Under the belly or over the belly with the pain. Oh, no, you're wrong show that guy again. You're wrong about the center Christine You're wrong about that Bobby because the guy absolutely Real quick. I hate when you say I'm wrong. It hurts me I have trauma you shouldn't though. I just do I just So I'm gonna be honest with people. It's just conversation That's over the belt. That's over the belly button. No, no, it's definitely I'm not arguing that I'm saying the difference. You said he has the choice. I'm saying there's a build like you're right Here's the thing. Where's your equator? Yeah, where is your belt equator now mine? My that thing that happens that circle that's coming out. I love new fat terms by the way That's that circle that comes up for me. Yeah is I mean, yeah that far from my dick. Yeah So there's a go little there's a god-given line here that I could put my belts at and call that my waist this poor guy Even though there's nothing happening over here that guy circle starts too low He that you couldn't wear pants that low So he has no choice is he high because his equator is too low his plate. He has a planet around his waist Yeah, yeah, or northern and southern hemisphere. I'm sorry I'm wrong about his equator has to be high If it goes if he went to the under the belly equator No, he's on his legs if you're him if you're him. Are you ever tucking in a shirt untuck your shirt? I would know you can't tuck in a shirt because it's gonna immediately become untucked as soon as you move Yeah, you'd have to get a shirt that but look at how it attaches to your socks. Yeah, you're a way of suspenders like on a sock They's a quater is not very sturdy It's not a defined equator his equator moves through the day I mean this guy well, I was like look at that guy and I was like that guy. Nope. Nope. He does that guy Nope, he does this one Pete when he thinks people aren't looking he does like a oh Yeah, absolutely, you handed like like adjustment. Oh, yeah, a real Farley a real Farley toe Fat guys wearing suspenders. No belt suspenders. Yes, where it's suspenders. That's pretty sure best Leather most comfortable thing because the the pants are an inch looser than your actual Why don't you tell me that when I was fat as shit because I could not know you I couldn't stand by and watch you wear Suspenders every day Watch my friend cool. Baba used to get sucked off in stairwells now. It's like fucking a butcher. Yeah, not even now not even you're gonna Look at fucking. I don't know. I'm a little John Wayne Gacy or something. It's crazy. That's domino Yeah, is that cultural appropriation when skinny rip dudes like wear Suspenders because it's a fat guy thing. Now looks it used to be a man before I think it was a country I grew looking at belt was like a sophistication like a rich person thing. Do you remember bill? I mean they didn't have belts They had rope. Do you remember bill Michaels? No, he's a comedian. He's probably dead But if you might be very much alive But if I the guests from myself, but he lost a bunch of weight too actually But he was a guy at his heaviest he used to run a bunch of like bringer shows. He's one of those guys to stand up New York Yeah, but he wore the complete home depot The complete now, it's not him the complete home depot Like suspender rig the iron worker suspender. Yeah Like like no no no like a construction worker ones. No, not a onesie It was it was still a thing but it was just heavy Velcro around the waist and then fucking He was in a union. Yeah My dad you stuff to wear Single-handedly carrying the industry see my big fat Bobby Bfb, I remember Joe Rogan call me a big Fat chubby person is it like that? She's called him fat too. I was listening to the show and I was like, oh Bobby He's a big fat person now. Oh, God. Whoa Like a girdle, what is that? Yeah, no, I guess like yes like that. That's what he wore. Wow all the time Yeah, that's like some John Goodman shit. Yes. Oh my god. He's so fat. Yeah Did he wear that under his shirt or oh you have to wear that over your shirt. Yes over shirt Yeah, that's what he performed comedy like advertising on the front you fat fuck like a donut company He would also wear again. There's the other big thing insert It's been so fat people should do they should advertise food fuck. Yeah on their clothes. It's been kind of nice and losing some weight that like I like my Biohazard like orange hoodie or my red body can't like I like those like a little putting a little bit of color into it because I always but Bill Michaels and his heaviest it was always like they like an orange shirt They give you a couple choices in the fat guy stores. You can go understated or they will be like Do you want to dress like a heavy D in the boys? Like a bright yellow it's like so bright. It's like all I get like do you want to be the loudest or the most Basic or are you committing to this or you not? That's what yes It's like are you committed? Are you good? You committed being a fat fuck? We'll try this on cuz you're gonna be a fat fuck be the fat fuck who shows up in a very fun multicolored floral shirt I love fat fucks that are fun. Yeah dress fun. Fuck. Yeah, everybody does I hate a fat fuck that tries to dress. What about like the bowling shirt or like the the Hawaiian shirt Like the short sleeve kind of like different things. Yeah, well, I'm thinking short sleeve button-ups I did the bowling are good for a fat dude the bowling shirt What it's the only shirt does is hide your side fat from the front and then your stomach reveals how fat you are from the side He turned sideways and it's just yeah, cuz it's usually like a black line down the side. Oh, yeah Yeah, that's true. Yeah, like, you know Flames yeah, so still problem even with losing weight when I see pictures of me sitting on a stool from the side It's still like where my back is and where my front of shirt is seems impossible If I'm built like that, I don't know how I don't have like a 70 inch waist because it looks like this from the side It's like a complete try. It's nuts That's cuz we mush down into a hamburger when we sit maybe because what every time you show me from the front now I'm like, oh, that's not bad. Well, it's like this is kind of fine When we do the videos here when Paco does the videos I always see that I Feel good, but then I watch the video and this is all mushed down and I I tell me Funny yeah funny how Paco says yeah funny how you cocksucker He uses a thing called fat cam on you, which I don't like What he beefs you up. Oh, yeah, he's the fat cam filter the fat cam filters you and then sometimes he makes me a bunny Well, I looked over you and then you were standing up and I'm like, why is he standing up and I figured it out Of course straightened you the fuck out. Listen Paco gets those cameras in here, dude You'd be surprised how much of the show I'm leaning back over here with the thing from now on profile Maybe making my chest a little big. I'm like so anyway Kim Congden. What was that? You were saying you're wearing your bill Mitchell Harness or whatever the fuck that You can't find no Michaels. Come on. Wait, so why is why is J. S. Squid? You that's right. He couldn't he actually couldn't wear suspenders because they'd slide off his I would have fallen over his derosa's. Yeah, cuz I have a derosa has more spine than this fucking god Absolutely, I'm telling you right now. Absolutely derosa would not have done this. Oh come on. Come on derosa wouldn't I don't think derosa would have done The opposite of what I digs will get to that a second. He wouldn't do the opposite, but he would have been like He would just disgust it. He would have been like no, but you know He would like he would have had some sort of discussion about it He would have discussion about it and he and this but the potential that he would have gotten another argument about it Hi, hi potential. Let me tell you why you gotta start the preface. Remember, so we walk over to the cell. Yeah, we go in We go and we usually go to the cell or by the way, we don't go anywhere. We let's go to the cell We're you know, geez. Oh, yeah, I Trying to bring back the hang well We went back last night. No, no, no, you can't bring you go get it. It's not this is there's a stroke There's a heart attack. There's a fucking hearing aid. There's a fucking tranny. It's done, dude It's done. It's done the hang is done. There's no hang. There's a little midgety guy there We got a larious kid. I walked in and he was sitting down at the end of the night I just stood over him and stared at his face and he just looked up and then just got up and moved things We're going for the table things are going pretty fun We were having a little Are the little flirtatious banter with that same waitress we get every time Marin? He's very nice. Is it Marin? I want to say Marin. I don't think it is You fucked me last night, too. Well, I fucking dick move. He did. Can I tell him that real quick? So now no no cuz at the end people might think you deserve for how much you beat me up on this Oh, what a great night you guys had. I can't we had it was a great 48 minutes. We have Every time me and Bobby do this we do this for an hour. Yeah, and we fuck him. I just go I just don't I just Mondays. I don't go home right after work.

I'm like, yeah, I'll see another year and a half I guess I never come here falling over me. Would you? so Then very fun some of what's cool about going there is I'll see people I haven't seen in months or years Sometimes we did we did hop over a fence which was wild. We have to have our fence which is pretty and by the way We both did really good at it Because they shut the park off legs. No, no, it was a walk over. It was an undertaker move And we watched five people do it before us and we just kind of figured it out We did it better than other people though way better like one of those like cop fences. Yes, exactly Yeah, they block the metal the metal like gate gates that connect. Yeah, they they block in the park There's only exit in and eggs they want everybody funneled in so it's straight to the end straight poles down So you can get foot a little between those poles and me and Bobby both able to do that step over I have video because I'm the fluencer so I got video of it. I will stick to care of it I took care of that's really great that you're able to do that. It's not really hopping a fence Christine No one asked Christine.

He steals the shine. Why don't you go? So anyways, we're at the comedy cellar I just talked to my close friend gnome and we sit down at the back table. We're getting food disease things happen These things happen You're now I Start talking to Todd Barry catching up with Todd Barry It's been a couple years and I overhear what they're talking about and I stay out of it intentionally because who cares about his cat I would have stayed out of that one to Todd Barry. We were having we were having good conversations But whatever I told him he should come do story wars It's not Legion of skanks. So is my pitch. It's not Legion of skanks. You'll love it and then by the way I Did it again, but I was saying that while Bobby's talking to his ease and I reach across the table and I go Bobby I'm talking about story wars. How much you love story wars. He goes do stories great I got he goes is every time I play go that's enough though I was kind of trailing out on the conversation need to get okay. I'm back goes go back in the car Example And then when I come back, I have to go no solid no fence and I have to go Todd what else I talking about Was I saying again? Yeah, so Todd and here talking and he eventually goes He goes, you don't work here anymore. No, hi He goes, do you have a problem in this place and I start just would like that I get this whole thing and I do the I go now. I'm just like busy You know, I usually do legionist skanks Monday. I do story wars Tuesdays. You know, I'm just not really around anymore. I'm going every week and he's like, yeah, I guess I thought you had a problem with them or something and I was like, you're bringing it up. I know they, yeah, I got that fucking book. What book? Oh, they were making the book and then I sit there and give him the 15 minute dissertation. Buddy. He's interested, by the way. Don't let me see it. It wasn't interesting. Why would he not be interested with the amount of energy and facial expressions and fucking anger? Couple times in the story. I see Noam wandering around and I'll go, I know I'm sorry about that. I'm going to hang on a second and then I would just do whatever I'd go over. I'd make Bobby say something for a minute and then I go, that's all good. Noam walked away. We're good now, Bobby. Bobby, show him that dance you do. That's good. All right. Stop. Enough. Bobby, pack your head and rub your belly at the same time. Stop it. Noam's gone. Do that joke for the beginning of Raw and then Bear come out and start taking a dookie. All right. I'm going to shut up. Noam left. That's enough. I got to get back to my story. Can I ask a quick question? Sure. In the time that, you know, I know you don't go there a lot, blah, blah, blah. Have you and Noam had any like, hey, how are you? Or do you kind of avoid yourselves? It's great you should ask that. He's been on the show. He zoomed on the show and he came on the show. I think he apologized profusely both times. And he's also said to me, please tell Jay, I love him. I want him to work the club. I hope he's, you know, I think he's one of the funniest guys. Ever. I want him at the cellar. And I've told him this. Jay O'grace and genius. I said this, I said this. That's a quote. That's a quote. And I've said this on the show. And the last time I said it on the show, he went on, I think for an hour and fucking tore apart the cellar. Yeah. And Noam and really though, I really went elbow deep on SD if I'm being honest, but he did talk. Noam was in there. The cellar, blah, blah, blah. I mean, some of my favorite jokes have ever made. I go, SD and Leslie Jones sit back behind home, behind a home plate of the Yankees games. Which one do you think brought the ugly person? So which one? What? You think they both walk around and go and embarrass? They're like, oh, geez, I'm with Leslie Jones. I'm with this little, I'm with this little, I'm with this little crazy. He went off so much where he called me later. He goes, yeah, did that, did that bother you that I was just, I mean, where I was like, nah, you're trying to be funny. Trying to be funny on the radio, but it is my friend. I'm genuine, dude. It is my club. Oh, you're genuine. You can't be fated. No, you can't, you can't fade this guy. You can't be fated. There's only one way to fade, Jay. Hang on. So I start giving Todd the story and Noam will walk kind of nearest and I'll be like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Okay, we're back. And I go on this and Todd's even making a face and he goes, that sucks. He goes, yeah, and then they wrote in the book and I gave him the, I told the book that I love this club and I'm not going to talk shit about it. And then they talk shit about me. Mike, he gets mad as when it happened every time it comes. He gets as mad as when it happened after the apology, after the second apology, after the third. He gets mad and I hear him talking. I'm staying out of it because I hear him going and then he's, it's like, I never learned not to bring it up, dude. It's like fell dog, dude. The guy keeps showing up everywhere and performing like he doesn't know he's bad. Did you see he's with alien ant farm on the internet? No, dude. He came out and did smooth criminal with alien ant farm. Oh, Jesus Christ. Are you serious? Michael, Michael, focus. He's our guest. Focus, Michael. He dances around. Michael, don't bring it up, Christine. We have a second half. No, you have to show him for a second. You can wait. We can wait. Get back to it, Chad. Excuse me. You're my producer. Wow. Apparently she can produce better than you. That was athletic as fuck, dude. That was not athletic. I get to beat Christine. Let's do an athletic contest right now. His second pushups. No, Bobby has a direction he's trying to go. Wow. Oh, you really are. Let's do raised pushups. I got a little hard when she did that. We'll get it to you. You can have that as a dessert. What yoga position do you think you can do better than me? All of them. Hey, earthworm. Let's do one now. Hey, earthworm. Get back to the story. So the waitress comes up. I order my shots. I get the celery sauces, which I have in my house when you come over later. So I have the buffalo and the wing sauce, the buffalo and the blue cheese. You put that on whatever. Michael, look at me when he does it. He's just trying to get you. Go with the story. Two words of hummus without pasto and stuff. So I'm talking about and I'm going heavy on time. And then I tell him, no, I finished the story too when I go. So that's where it's like, it's not that I don't come here ever. It's like I've come here, but I'm just like, I'm like, I'm just kind of like this place. They don't fucking, it was just so disrespectful. I'm like, they don't fuck with me. I don't give a shit. I don't fuck with them really like that. And then no one walked up to the table and he goes, he goes, oh my God, I'm so happy you're here. Is this real? Are you really here? I'm so happy you're here. And then he goes, I go, yeah, I go. I'm off tonight. So I came through and he goes, he goes, I'm so, I'm really so happy you're here. He goes, I would, what do you say? He goes, if you came here, I would start buying you whatever you're having right now. Every night I go, I go, okay. And he goes, because I always, I don't know why, man. I just feel like, I feel like you hate my guts. And I went, what? I looked at Todd Barry's face. Michael Todd went, what the fuck is that? What's happening? I just got a fucking, a fucking cannonball. Todd Barry was baffled. Baffled. I was lighting up inside with joy and laughter. Knowing this moment was coming. Oh my. I mean, I start giving him other time. I go, what? Why do you think I came to do Bobby's show? I was on the new thing. I'm just crazy. He started giving his comedy cellar resume in the last month. No. Why would you think that? Oh, and Noam literally sat down. And said, I got everything is no, I bought it all. I already got it. It's fine. Oh man. I gave him anecdotes. Oh my God. These two love birds. I don't know what happened back there, man. What happened? I'll tell you what happened. He is. What was going through your head during this? He's a mushy fucking amoeba that talks a lot of shit and has no backup. I'll tell you what he loves to do. He's a tea spiller. That's what he's a mulling quim. He loves. Oh, Bobby. He loves athletic. He loves to. Oh, and then you know what? And then you know what? And face with the fucking man. Hey, how you doing? I turned into a five year comic that just got passed. Oh my. If you would try to, I would have stood up hugged him. Oh my. Oh my God. They know what happened back there. I can't say something. No, I have no idea what he walked into. He has no idea. His name was his club. His legacy was being besmudged by this earthworm. There's something in his own club at the table. It is. I would have loved to talk very monotone. Pussy. Oh, he did in his head. He definitely did. I mean, was he just like, did he could you read his expression? Was he completely confused? Yes. What was happening? I looked at when he listened to me. I was nervous when Noam came over because I was hearing this. And I know Jay, Jay, Jay doesn't take shit from no. No, Bobby, you're not thinking of what it is, though. I'll tell you what it is. And I know this about myself. It's why I try to say this. And I are whenever somebody goes, I hate on air arguments. The audience doesn't love, which is a lie. Whenever they go, the audience, the audience loves on air arguments. Yeah. But they go, they hate. Nobody wants to argue on air. I, everything confrontational in my life. I need to happen on air. I don't know why. Well, there's a reason for sure. But I will go at it intently. If the same night somebody could, if we ended the thing on a an angry thing on the show, the same night the person calls me, I go, I'm just fucking doing radio. I'm good. You know what? Good. I'm going to have Noam have microphones and a recorder at the table. Yes. All the time. So next time he shows up, I'm going to throw a microphone. Jeb Natterman moderating. Now, no, you did fuck up. Well, you know, you should know if we were fucking podcasting, I fucked the shit up. We probably got physical. Jay's only tough on a podcast. But seriously. Yeah. Seriously. Your kryptonite is real life. Yeah. Let me. My kryptonite is the living, breathing world. Michael, when Noam was walking over my heart, I was like, ah, shit, I'm going to have to deal with my friend over here and my friend over here. I've got it. This is going to be a confrontation. Yeah. He's going to say something. Jay's going to go, you know what, dude, I don't fucking work here. I was just telling Todd, you know, you know, you show me no respect. As he's an asshole and you should change that. And Noam was going, what are you fucking? And it was going to be this thing that I was going to have to break up. Thank God, Jay is just a fucking dandy. No, I didn't. It's really fish. Oh, my God. I didn't want you to be uncomfortable. No, you did not. Let me tell you something. But I think that last night, by the why did I think of my excuse being? I didn't want Bobby to have to be uncomfortable. I was fucking Bobby. What the fuck is wrong with me? If I would have thought a little bit quicker, I could have just been like, yeah, Bobby, it's like your friend. What am I going to sit there and make you be in a weird situation? If you weren't there, dude, I'd have fucking lit them up at the table. We're patreced as many. Hey, you got wooden teeth. You mean that table? Yes. At the table where I saw somebody make you cry one night. Yes, where I've seen grown men cry. Yeah, meanest table in the world. I've seen some. Bobby, Bobby Kelly trial. But yes, you mean that fucking table, buddy. I was waiting for it and I was like, oh, my God, Jay's going to Jay. Jay's going to do it. He's this is it. But whatever. I'm here. It's happening.
