dude i moved out at 16 i got sober when i was 15 um i went to jail for the first time at 13
uh so what happens when you're a juvie you go to you go to court you go to jail for the first time at 13 So what happens when you're a juvie
You go to court
You go to jail
Then you go to court
And when you get convicted
You go back to juvie jail
Then you find a place for you
And then you'll get transferred
So as people come in
They'll move you around
And they'll slowly move you out
To a foster home
Short term or long term
And then from the foster home you'll go
home so i did that a few times like i went in and out of jail a few times and when you're the ward
of the state that means massachusetts owned you there's no more court there's no more going to
you just go the fuck to jail so if i do something i get arrested he goes to jail you go up to this
place in in the middle of nowhere called intake

first time you go into this it's a this the danver state mental institution gave uh the massachusetts
department of whatever the fuck it is uh their morgue on their property and it's in the it's
creepy as fuck dude you're going up into this a sane asylum in the middle of the night in a van
from court and you go to like this morgue part. And one section is intake. The other section is this NFI shelter care.
It's like a place where kids go.
But when you go into the intake,
they put you there to find out where you're going for the night.
And then they ship you out again.
So you'll go to this one, you know.
And I remember I walked in.
It was a small room.
And it's this old fucking insane asylum place and you know and i looked up
on the ceiling and it was crazy because they came in with lunch they have these little deli
sandwiches italian subs they were old you know the bread was wet right and i think the deli used
to donate them to this place oh yeah you get a bag of chips the three pack of cookies remember
the cookie and you get a soda and this thing and
everybody took the sandwiches out all these kids scraped the onions off and threw them on the
ceiling and i looked up at the ceiling it was covered and just years of these onions it was
fucking gross nuts no the whole none of the kids liked onions they were wet it's like a wet because
the sandwiches look a day or a few days a wet Because the sandwiches were like a day
Or a few days old
Yeah so the onions were
It was fucking gross
But you were hungry
You had to taste the wet onions on the sandwich
Nuts
It was nuts
And then the kid leans into me
That was the first time I was around like

Who were teaching me how to drink I was hanging out with kids who were teaching me how to drink.
I was hanging out with kids who were teaching me, dude, like how to take a beating.
Yeah.
Because I was a sensitive kid, dude.
I loved people.
I always wanted to be around people.
I loved making people laugh.
I had a big heart.
And I was, you know, my stepfather really broke me.

That first guy taught me violence was the way to protect yourself.
Rage and violence is the way to protect yourself.
So then I met these kids who were in a very similar boat,
but tougher than me.

A couple of Mikeys in there always.
These guys were no joke yeah

He's dying, basically.
I remember we were walking away,

And I remember I'm blood head to toe.
I'm like, Frankie, I didn't cry.

Those guys exist

Do they accurately portray them with the accent and everything?
Yeah, Dorchester, Charlestown, South Boston,
you know, those were pretty tough kids.
I was never that guy.
I actually hated it.
Right.
I feared it.
I feared death every day.
Yeah, because you were born with like a heart.
You're a good person.
I was born with a heart.
You have empathy, yeah.
Dude, I mean, the guys I hung out with
Were so fucking tough
I hung out
See
Here's the thing people don't know
Like
New York had gangs
Boston didn't have gangs
We had parks
You know when I was coming up
In the 80s
You hung out at your park
And your park was your gang
And we were segregated
Boston was segregated
Yeah
Boston like Medford
We were segregated in the towns.
So Medford had the Italian park, Tufts Park, Irish Park, North Park.
You had Playstead Park with, you know, the white fucking middle class kids.
You had Duggar Park where the black kids hung out.
And we all had our own little parks.
So you hung out at your park.
And if you fucking went to other parks, you were going to catch a beating.
Right.
That was it. And other towns would come over, like Burlington or Everett. to your park and if you fucking went to other parks you were gonna catch a beating right that
was it and other towns would come over like burlington or everett and i remember i mean dude
i remember everett came over one time it was burlington they came over for dating one of our
chicks oh and it was like that dude i remember frankie walked up we were walking up and the kid
was there and i mean dude the king i mean just sucker punching
sucker everything yeah yeah that this stuff where you square off no go yeah dude be like what's up
man you wanna yeah well you come over here you me your friends with raquel come here you fucking
yeah she's a friend it was raquel i don't think anyone's ever been named raquel whose parents
made more than fifteen thousand dollars a year no yeah let me tell you something. The Povecchios were the hottest chicks in the world.
Povecchios?
Raquel, Rachel, and Ronel.
Can you even make it into middle class if your last name is Povecchio?
They had money.
They did.
And they were the hottest dude.
I mean, movie hot.
It sounds like they all have necklaces with their names on it.
Yeah, they do.
I think they did.
Oh, they did. Raquel right did. Yeah. Oh, they did.
Raquel right here. Yeah. Dude, I dated Rachel and Ronel.
Frankie had Raquel. Yeah. Oh my
God, dude. Still smoking hot to this day.
Wow. I mean, kept it. Yeah.
You see it on, you check it on Facebook?
I try not to because it's fucking,
I'm like, I fucked up. I should have grabbed one of the
Povecchios. I got a fucking
Polack from Everett.
Now, aren't there Portuguese in the mix, too, in Boston?
There's some Portuguese in there or no?
Or is that more Rhode Island?
No, that's not Rhode Island.
That's Rhode Island.
Yeah, Boston.
Where I grew up, it was Italian, Irish, black, and that was pretty much it.
Everybody out there was mixed.
Right.
You know what I mean?
But they didn't really hang out with each other.
We fucked with each other, man remember Like I was telling you Like Frankie
Anybody came from another town
Frankie
I remember his move
Was a full can of beer
Right to your fucking face
So he'd run up
He'd be like
Dude what's up
You want a beer
And then fucking smash you
Try to get you in this region
He was trying to
And then blood would just go
And the beer would just
Scare the rest of them off
Cause
And yeah
Dude a lot of crazy shit
Like that
What's Frankie doing now
You checking with I don't know yeah i i would imagine frankie is somewhere in new hampshire
working a job something like that i would think so he's new hampshire where a lot of work oh no
no no what'd you say social worker not a social worker no no yeah i don't think any of them got
sober i was you know i think i was you know when i could be sober. I think I was the only one. I could be wrong. Right. I think I'm the only one who got sober.
Now, you're Irish-Italian.
Irish-Italian.
Genetically Irish-Italian.
Yes, sir.
Yeah.
So from that neighborhood.
That's like in New York, you'd get a lot of Jew-Italians or Irish-Italians
because working class ethnic neighborhood kind of Boston kid.
Right.
From Medford.
From Medford, yeah.
What was tough for Charleston or Medford?
I would say
I mean look
They both had their tough people
Full of yuppies now right?
When you go there
You're like I don't even recognize it
Dude it's so bad now
I mean some of them
Bad meaning good
No bad meaning it stinks
But yes good
Yeah like
Some of them is all fucking rich
You know rich white people now
Yeah
South Boston
Same to Charleston you can't get a
house yeah charlestown what used to be i wouldn't even go there yeah you can't even get there now
because they're walking distance from boston right you know even like the only place that kept its
i think i mean southeast still has you know irish course. Charlestown still has fucking dirt, white trash, Irish, and mixed.
But North End kept the Italian, but they got in there.
That's the funny part about all these fucking people.
They want equality, but they don't want it where they live.
They want to suck whatever the culture is.
They want it out.
They want that culture gone, and they want that real estate to be up
so when they die, their kids have $10 million
in an apartment somewhere.
It is a beautiful culture of getting smashed in the face
by beer and beating up people who come into your park.
At least it's original.
That's true.
I mean, it's original.
You want to do a quick heart rate check right now?
You want to talk, what?
You want to do a quick heart rate check?
Yeah, sure.
Let's see who's winning. Bobby's got an astoundingly low heart rate like

What does that mean?
It's just not fair.
Why is it not fair?
I don't want to say it, but it's not fair.

You can just go to Bobby Kelly's house

It's just something that sucks you back in.
Yeah.
I had to get the fuck out of there.
I used to have a joke.
I was like, this is how you know Boston's your shitty city.
No, exactly.
I said, every movie about Boston
is about some guy trying to get out of Boston.
Like the last scene is like Ben Affleck
or Matt Damon in a car.
You know the town, the last scene,
he's like serene by a river with
a hipster beard and then you got matt damon just a car driving away it's true i get the fuck no i
love boston i love boston a lot and i would move back there in a fucking heartbeat you would i
think it has better food than new york yep i'll fucking i don't even know
how to respond to that you don't it's got better food than new york chip you don't say steak tips
shit you're all about the steak tips the fact you guys don't even know what steak tips are
is fucking mind-boggling i don't want to swear on this podcast too because i don't want all beeps
yeah you're trying to say that you're you're well we said the F word once, so we got to beep that.
I know.
We got to beep.
I got to beep.
Nobody told me.
That would be funny.
Just beep this whole part so they think he's cursing.
I'm not cursing right now.
So don't even think I'm cursing.
They're going to beep this.
Just beep it.
No, it's not beeping.
All right?
I'm not swearing.
Beep the whole thing.
Bobby, Jesus, why are you cursing so much?
I'm not swearing, you son of a gun.
You swear by these steak tips, and because of these steak tips,
you think Boston has better food?
It's not even that.
We got better Chinese food.
Yeah.
It's Polynesian.
You have Chinese people Chinese food.
We have white people Chinese food.
What does that mean?
Tell you what it means. What does that mean? Tell you what it means.
What does it mean? Some Irish guy back there cooking
in a wok? No. I'm telling you.
Mickey, is that fucking, is the general
so's ready? We have
soy sauce made out of Jameson.
We have.
There you go. You can't even sing it.
Yeah, he's good.
I'm telling you right now dude
We have better Chinese food
It's Polynesian Chinese food
With the tiki thing
And the fucking
You know all that stuff
It's just a better Chinese food
Than you guys got
Your Chinese food is disgusting
Wait
If it's Polynesian
Then it's not Chinese food
It's Polynesian
No it's Polynesian Chinese food
The Chinese went to Polynesia
Is that a thing? And they went there And they made better Chinese food. It's Polynesian. It's Polynesian Chinese food. The Chinese went to Polynesia. Is that a thing?
And they went there and they made better Chinese food for white
people. Bobby's got a theory that
9-11 happened because they just wanted
to redo downtown. It's a very simple
theory. We were in the car and he goes,
you want to know why 9-11 happened?
They wanted to redo downtown.
He goes,
can you think of a better way?
Think about it. I said,
I don't want to throw a wrench in your theory, but I can think of a better way.
You couldn't come up with one?
Yeah, I could.
I came up with about 15 right there on the spot.
You didn't say anything to me.
One is applying and saying, hey, we're going to take the buildings down, telling everybody they got to move or whatever.
Can't do it.
I debunked that theory.
How did you debunk it?
Because that'd be like saying, hey, we're going to take down the Empire State Building.
Debunk that theory.
How did you debunk it? Because that'd be like saying,
hey, we're going to take down the Empire State Building.
The Twin Towers were historical sites.
That's part of New York.
They were built in the 70s.
It's like saying I'm a historical site.
I was built in the 70s.
Not historical.
Landmarks.
There were people came to New York to see the Twin Towers.
You can't.
That's like taking down the Empire State Building.
They'd be like, no, you need that.
Well, it's an old building. It's crap. We can't. That's like taking down the Empire State Building. They'd be like, no, you need that. Well, it's an old building.
It's crap. We can build a better
building, better
economically.
It would take up less space.
We'd have more stuff. No, you can't.
The only way to take it down is
to blow it up. Is to kill 3,000 people
with planes. Well, it's 3,000 people, the billionaires.
Huh? Think about back
in the day. The Romans killed
way more than that.
Well, everyone kills
more than that, yeah.
But couldn't they have
just said,
hey, there's something
wrong structurally with it.
We got to take them down
and they take them down
to controlled demolition
which is kind of the way
they looked anyway.
Yeah, exactly.
They did that.
But they needed
and they needed a boost
in us as Americans
to be together.
Yeah, but your theory
is just that
some interior designer came to downtown Manhattan
and was like,
we need to change this.
I'm saying-
This needs a makeover.
I'm saying some guy was like-
You're the only guy whose conspiracy theory
is based on aesthetics.
Listen, this is my-
You're going like,
this just doesn't fit the bunch way.
I'm saying that the guys who are on the-
Look, we want to redo downtown, but we can't.
Right.
How are we going to do this?
They're never going to let us take down these buildings.
I own these, we own these buildings, but we don't like them.
We want to build new ones, more, you know, better buildings.
So then how come all these other places that get renovated,
they don't fly planes into the buildings to take them down?
If Bobby was the mayor of a city,
you'd just see any time there's just a plane just crashing.
Any time they're going to take down like an old stadium, there's just a packed stadium and you just see a plane fucking.
Bobby's like, I want to remodel my house.
He just flies a sex.
Before I get hate mail. He wants to get divorced to get a new wife he just flies a
plane into his wife he's like don't stand there the plane it's the only way
hey
Hey, you're redoing my bathroom right now, so you got to fucking fly.
So you can stand clear of some fucking planes. It's going to come.
That's a kid from Boston's theory.
Hey, fucking fly planes.
Hey, you want to redo it, you got to fucking fly.
You got to have a terrorist attack.
It's the only way to convince people to fucking redo the building.
Before we get carried away, I get all hate mail.
Of course I'm joking.
I don't think, of course I believe what our government told us.
I am a patriot, but I'm just saying this could be a theory.
No, that could be a theory.
I'm trying to put an add-on on my house.
I guess when the architect comes to the design, she's going to go,
okay, first we're going to have a plane fly in.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
So you're in the restaurant.
You're in the restaurant.
All right.
Oh, God.
So you're in the restaurant.
You're in the restaurant.

It's like him and Radiohead.
He was the first one to do it in comedy

And then I think he did it before Radiohead.
Initially, he did it.
So when he put his special up on his website.
So Louis is the originator of all this.
He's the first comic to buy his own ticketing system.
Yeah, he did it.
They're charging too much money at Madison's,
or wherever the fuck it was.
They're charging too much money.
So he went on and he made his ticket price,
I think $40 for every seat.

Stinks
Is fucking subpar
Yeah
I think it's a little
Boston thing too though
With the dressing
There's something to it
I mean I remember What Billy Bill You know You know him better fucking subpar. Yeah. I think it's a little Boston thing too though with the dressing. There's something to it.
I mean,
I remember what Billy,
Bill,
you know,
you know better than me
if I say this,
will he hold a grudge
for me for 40 years?
Yes.
So I won't say it.
Yeah.
Billy brings up stuff
I did to him
30 years ago.
What is it?
That one with the
Western shirt
or whatever.
Like,
you remember the Western shirt?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Now he's not going to talk to me for 50 years.
No.
But he did look like he was hunting down Jesse James.
Yeah.
He's like a little sniper.
Yeah, he comes in.
Bang, bang.
Comes in from a window.
He's there.
He's there.
Dude, he's on the pod with me.
I love it.
And he's funny as fuck.
Yeah.
No, but it's a little Boston thing.
It's a little thing where you-
Yeah, we're not-
You know what?
Now that I'm thinking about it-
It's like a disability almost.
It's like you guys have a fashion disability.
You fucking New York fucking rope chain.
Give my girl an anklet fucking for her birthday at 13.
Fuck suckers.
There was one special.
He was wearing like a blue button down.
It was like a dress shirt yeah oh yeah yeah
it was like it wasn't it wasn't a button down that like you know a button down that you're
supposed to wear casually with the butt it was like a dress shirt it was like a banana republic
blue suit shirt untucked i mean it's just a bought it gives a charm you know yeah we're bad
dressers you're absolutely i think it's something i'll tell you when I found out I was a bad dresser.
There it is.
There's the blue shirt on the left.
I was in San Francisco on stage, and a guy was fucking with me.
Him and his good-looking dude, young buck.
And I was fucking with him.
I was trying to smash him, and he looked up.
He goes, your shirt's wrinkled.
And I was like, oh, boy.
And I was like, I didn't iron and i was like oh boy and i was like i didn't rank i didn't i
don't iron i was like oh me i looked down it was just all fun look at this one's wrinkled
i was all bummed out of with me all five shows all five i never not iron my shirt on a gig now
it got to you yeah well because i'm like we don't i my mother never taught me to iron yeah you throw
a shirt on you get get the fuck out.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, it's not top priority.
Top priority is funny for Boston guys.
Now, we mentioned Louie.
One of the funniest.
Billy and Louie.
I keep calling him Billy like I came up with him like you guys.
Bill.
It's because of all your Mikey and fucking Frankie shit.
So, Bill, Louie, Patrice, you.
Gary Goldman. Gary Goldman. Dane Cook. DePaulo. Dane Cook. frankie ship so bill louis patrice you gary gallman gary gallman paulo dane cook i mean you
know and and uh you know some of the all you guys are the fun huh bob marley bob marley the list
continues on and on and on yeah you know but you're talking about louis and bill you know they're both
massive they're both yeah like me you know a lot of people consider them The two best
I think so
They're amongst the best
I think so
What is it about Boston
And I believe so too
I think Bill and Louie
For me
Yeah
They're like my
They're like two of my favorite
They're incredible
Yeah they just
They get to the joke
They get to the joke
Faster and cleaner
It's a monster
There's no fat on their jokes
No
Bill Burr is an absolute monster
Yeah he's a monster
He's a fucking monster Yeah And It absolute monster. Yeah, he's a monster. He's a fucking monster.
It's because we're-
And you guys are all real guys.
Because you're adding, so you got Boston, right?
You got guys who sound like they're fucking dumb.
Well, city guys, Boston guys.
But Billy's a highly intelligent guy.
Very intelligent.
Billy, listen to me, flies helicopters.
Yeah.
Okay?
He's an amazing- He's like yeah okay he played he's a amazing
savant he's an amazing drummer yeah like billy could have probably done anything louis the same
thing yeah i mean louis is fucking a genius yeah so i think you mix those two with a very sarcastic
fuck you you're an idiot what are you doing a sense of humor like which is the boston sense
of humor which is well the Boston sense of humor,
which is, well, this fucking guy's an asshole.
You see this guy?
What a fucking, you had that with intelligence?
It's just, it's killer.
Yeah.
It's really killer.
That's what I respect so much about you guys is that you're obviously the funniest crop.
You go Boston, New York.
The funniest comics, by the number they come
out of boston new york but you guys are all real guys like uh you know i know bill i know you i've
hung out with both you guys are real guys i now hung out with louis i feel a genuineness like it's
uh it's there's a genuineness it's not a show it's not show business no no no because we have
families we still have you know but is it something about Boston that makes you real?
Yeah, but you'll get punched in the face.
Right.
That's what it is.
I mean, dude, if you get cocky, smarmy, egotistical, fucking weird, you'll get, dude, you get punched.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm not even saying that to be a tough guy.
I got hit a lot.
Yeah, yeah.
You know, being out of line.
I like that.
Like, I don't mind.
So you kind of have to be, what's up, man?
How are you?
How you doing?
I prefer, even if I don't get along with someone or if I have an argument with someone, I prefer
that it's, I prefer real than nice.
What do you mean?
When someone's too nice, I'm like, it's fake.
It freaks me out, yeah.
Yeah, it freaks me out.
I'm like, nobody, we're all messed up.
We all got different things.
I know a couple people that I could put out like ryan hamilton yeah i he that's real he's nice i can take
he's too nice but he it's a good way yeah he's he's there's a hooker in his basement you think
yeah she's been there she's a mormon no one dresses that nice nobody i don't think anyone's
that i'm not saying that i mean obviously there's no hooker in his basement, but maybe-
He lives in a Ry-Ry's.
Yeah.
It'd have to be in his closet or his storage unit.
No, the Midwesterners, that's part of their culture, I guess.
I guess there's some-
I think there's something real about New York and Boston because we're on top of each other
and it's a hustle city and it's like-
You have to verbally be-
Yeah.
Creates a real person. You have to be uh creates a real person you have you
have to be because you know even in a parking spot to get your sandwich people the line you
get in the line if someone cuts you in line you have to know how to deal with people yeah and you
you don't want to start off like you know these whiny ass what are you doing you're cutting it's
like dude what are you doing i'm sorry all right cool no problem yeah keep it moving you know what
i mean i think new york York and Boston are very similar.
It's funny.
It's funny how similar we are.
Very similar.
We're like rivals.
The Jews and the fucking Arabs.
They have the same salad.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
They're very similar.
Yeah.
We love the same shit.
Same shit.
New York and Boston is like the Jews and Arabs.
Yeah.
We're the Jews.
Yeah.
You're the Jews.
We're the Arabs.
There's less of you and there's a lot of us.
Yeah, all right, there you go.
I'll take that.
And it's just the culture,
because there's a lot of funny comics from other places.
Like, I remember I was on Segura's pod,
and we talked about this, and we laughed hard,
because we were talking about how New York comics
were always like, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And he's like, yeah, it's like an assault.
And he's extreme.
He's one of the funniest.
I love his comedy,
but his comedy is completely different.
It's kind of,
cause he comes from a different place.
So it's like,
it's real in that way.
It's different.
It's not like,
we're like,
fuck you.
I like his,
I really,
I really like his comedy and his,
uh,
cadence.
Yeah.
He's very,
uh,
very calm and draws you in. It's confidence uh very calm and draws you in it's confidence
of this uh yeah it's this confidence and calmness yeah and i really love that i love that about his
stand-up he's fucking hilarious it's very nice yeah i really do like that that louis has a little
bit of that too louis will because what i love about louis is that he'll be quiet and then he'll
fucking inject it he knows when to add the energy yeah you know yeah yeah yeah um which i really
like i like that stuff but tom is yeah tom kind of is calm and kind of just bang and bang and he
does that thing where he kind of draws you in his world nate does that too where nate yeah and nate
is a genuine guy.
I like the genuine guys.
Rogan is from Boston.
Rogan too.
Let's not forget fucking Rogan.
Rogan's another one.
One of my favorite comics.
Me too.
You know what I mean?
I told him I wanted him.
From the get-go.
He's been one of my favorite
from when I saw him on MTV Comedy Half Hour.
Yeah, Rogan did a special in 2006, I think.
It's underrated.
It's really one of the best specials I've seen.
It was one where he had the hat on.
He had the hat on.
He had like a,
he had like one of those
like fucking paperboy hats on.
Again, Boston guys.
Again, you ever watch his outfits?
He also does the dress shirt that's too big.
What the fuck?
I mean, you know,
you know, hiking sneakers with jeans.
I mean, you guys are disabled.
You're fashion disabled.
You're too straight.
You guys are, there it is.
Look at that fucking shirt.
He looks like Mozart.
I mean, the shirt's too big.
He's comfortable.
He's comfortable.
It's a dress shirt.
He's comfortable.
That's not a casual button down.
That is a comfortable man
and look at it it's fucking piss yellow it looks like a distinguished yellow that's dehydrated
that's english fucking yellow i mean dude look at that yellow ass fucking shirt
i'm sick i think he looks great and that newsies hat oh i want that hat i have it i have that hat
but dude that is an excellent special dude i think it's the first again it's intelligence
meets aggression yes it's intelligence meets this fucking blue collar aggression
surviving traffic shitty boston traffic but people are assholes you know but you got he's a high
level guy he's very high-level guy.
He's very intelligent.
So you mix those two together,
and you get some of the funniest guys on the planet.
I would love somebody for fun, obviously,
if they did a Boston versus New York show.
That would be awesome.
Well, who would you pick?
That would just be fun if you went Boston, New York,

And then I went up and fucking ate my dick.
It's that thing when you go up after someone.
It's not even you, really.
It's the crowd is so upset that the person that they was on before is done.
Right.
And then you go up there and they're still disappointed.
And they're still like, I wanted to see more of that and then you just get discouraged by that and then you just because the energy up front's not there and then you just eat
it for the rest of the set well you understand i was telling some of this the other day you know
we came up open our open mics were hosted by the best comics in Boston.
Like Kevin Knox, who's funnier than anybody,
would host, he would have his show,

They're not going to do it.
Not even my wife.
She loves me.
She's my heart and soul.
Nobody's going to do it.
They were just going to, not knowing.
Not that they don't care.
Not that you don't care.
But you're going to go, Bob's fucking big, man.
And you're going to keep it moving because you got your own shit going on.
You got things to worry about. You know what I mean? You got your shit to worry about. So I had to fucking do big, man. And you're going to keep it moving because you got your own shit going on. You got things to worry about.
You know what I mean?
You got your shit to worry about.
So I had to fucking do it, man.
I just did it.
And I did it the right way.
It took around two years, a year and a half.
I went to a doctor.
I fucking nutritionist.
You know, I'm doing things the right way.
So far, so good.
And I'm down over 70 pounds.
And I don't intend to go back.
Because food was my first addiction.
And hopefully my last.
Because it was going to take me out, dude.
And it sucks.
Because I don't want to.
Because I wouldn't even get like eight-year benefit from Billy Burr.
I'd get like a one-year benefit at the stand from you and Ari.
You know what i mean
you may you're gonna give my wife 800 bucks
you know what i mean
we'd promote it on a podcast oh my god oh by the way we're doing a show for bob And you'd still pay All the comics Yeah We'd do new material
We'd make it about us
By roasting each other
Yeah
We'd even be my friends
Wait are we supposed
To be talking about Bobby
It would be catered
By Joe DeRosa
Yeah
Nobody would
It would be
Mike Feeney
Mike Cannon
And fucking Brendan Sagalow
Yeah
And sandwiches
By Joey Roses
Yeah
Right
Joe would be doing
New material bombing
Yeah Hey you know dude Food took him out But you know I got a sandwich shop Shut up Moses. Yeah. Right. Joe would be doing new material bombing. Yeah.
Hey, you know, dude, food took him out, but, you know, I got a sandwich shop.
Shut up.
Yeah.
Fucking Montadella killed me.
Yeah.
You know, being big is one of those things because it's funny.
Your friends could make a lot of jokes about it.
Yeah.
You know, the fat jovial person, that whole stereotype.
But there's another side to it where it's like, yeah, I mean, it's a real addiction.
It's a real addiction just like anything else.
It's the worst.
And it can be a real problem.
And sometimes I think that the funny thing
gets in the way of that.
Well, being a comic and being fat is really just nuts.
They go together well.
They go together well.
And you can write jokes about it and people,
you know, people laugh now it's, you know, it was, uh, it was, you know, and you feel like
you're going to lose some of your mojo. You know what I mean? When you, you know, but I can't do
it. I can't, I couldn't do it anymore. I had to pull that button because, and don't, don't get
me wrong. I didn't just say I gotta lose weight
I've been working on my
Spirituality and my mental health
For three years
Like when this pandemic hit
I was exposed
I was exposed
Of how
Unconnected I was
To my world
And how unconnected I was To the people in my life And how unconnected I was to my world and how unconnected I was to the people in my life
and how unconnected I was to myself because you were caught up in your I was caught up in making
it I was caught up in fucking uh fame and money and all this other shit that if I could just do
this then I'll get happiness if I could get this then I can I can buy this house if I'll get happiness If I could get this Then I can buy this house
If I could get this

On your book, I don't give a shit
Took all of it away in one day
And said now who are you

Who are you Bobby
And I found out I had a lot of work
to do i had a lot of because i had fear i had anxiety i i had resentment i had hatred i had
anger you know what i mean i didn't have uh i wasn't distract yourself i wasn't humble i wasn't
grateful right i wasn't i wasn't looking at what i had
right i didn't have love in my heart right i didn't have uh you know friendships connections
i had all these other negative things fear took over fear justified resentment justified anger
all this took over right and because of the pandemic you were forced to see all that i
as clear as day just took over because all the And because of the pandemic, you were forced to see all that.
As clear as day, just took over.
Because all the distractions were gone.
And the rat race that was distracting you from all those things was gone.
Is that what you're saying?
Absolutely.
So now we had to go and work up here, work in here.
I had to go get this straightened out.
What's important?
Wait a minute, dude.
I got it.
I made it.
I already did it. I have a roof over my kid's head. I a minute, dude. I got it. I made it. I already did it.
I have a roof over my kid's head.
I get paid for food.
And I tell jokes.
I did it.
I did it.
Grateful.
Wake up in the morning.
I got a great son.
My wife.
I love my wife.
Great.
The people around me.
Dude, I got the fucking, I got the funniest people and some of the greatest minds who are my friends. Some of the greatest people who hurt just like me.
Of my friends.
Grateful.
All this stuff started coming into play.
Great, now I'm here.
I'm doing the right thing.
I'm making a mess.
If I do something wrong, I'm sorry.
As fast as I could.
Trying to work on all this shit. But i am 350 pounds so all this is good but this is fucking i'm gonna die
i'm gonna be gone so i had now that i was ready up here i could take care of this so i went into
that process and i started talking to my my our pan, who is a doctor and a friend
at my cigar bar, who's just happens to do, you know, the gastric sleeve surgeries. That's his
thing. He does all the, you know, inside does them all. And we talked and we talked and we talked for
a long time, over a year we talked. And then finally I was like, listen, man, I have this
window to do it in, in the summer. I'm going, I'm not going to work in june and july and i said i
am going away to europe for this can he goes okay we got to work a lot really hard because you know
you think you get like a gastric sleeve or these surgeries and it's a cop-out i had to lose 30 i
had to lose pounds i had to go from 350 to 335 i had to lose this weight to get my bMI down to be able to be eligible for this.
They don't just give you the surgery.
So then I had to do all that.
Then after, I had to work out from day two,
start walking, start moving, then the weights.
And now I have to take vitamins.
I have to take supplements.
Now, it's not for everybody.
It really isn't.
But for me, it saved my life.
Well, it's an addiction.
And then it's no different
than an addiction your body needs the food so it becomes a thing where that assist as you call it
is a wise move and there's no shame in rehab it was my rehab that was your rehab yeah it was my
rehab so i went to rehab 37 years ago for drugs and alcohol right and i and i stopped i go 14
months i was away from it all i I got to go away. So I,
I couldn't do that in the real world. Now I have to work. I have to make a living. I have to
provide, right. But I could do it in here. So I went to rehab for two years. I'm in rehab.
You know what I mean? And I'm taking full advantage of it. Full advantage of it.
What would be your advice to someone out there?
Go talk to a doctor.
In the situation that you were in.
Hey, man, it's not for everybody.
I got emails that-
There's so many people that have gotten it that you know that I can't out them.
It's like being gay.
Right, right.
Like I can't out them.
You know what I mean?
Right.
Because I came out.
Right.
Because I felt I had to let people know.
Right.
I had to because there's too many-
I have too many fans that love me
because they love my jokes about being fat
or they love my comedy
and they're struggling too.
So people that are in the closet with it
where they're like,
look man, I got it too.
I don't tell anybody
because as a man,
you feel like you're not a man
because you didn't,
I didn't do it.
I didn't lift weights and not eat for three months. I had to go to rehab. I had I didn't do it. I didn't, you know, lift weights
and not eat for three months. I had to go to rehab. I had to take care of it. You know what I mean?
I did what I got an assist. It's not, it's not, you're more of a man making that choice to better
yourself and get the help you need than to, to not, and just try to man it out and then have a
stroke and die. And then your kid has no dad. and then he doesn't know what the fuck he's doing in life.
He doesn't know, do I like ringdings or do I like Twinkies?
I don't know because I didn't have somebody helping me
making the right choices, making decisions, like me.
I was searching for a dad my whole life until I became one.
And now I'm the dad and it's like i had that
responsibility to to be able to run with my kid to be able to do things with my kid you know what
that is i've been in places like that for different reasons but same anatomy tell me if you think this
holds some merit it comes to a point where you realize you're trying to do it yourself. You're trying to do it yourself for whatever reason that is,
shame or ego or mostly shame, I guess.
I don't know.
But there comes a point where you're so low you realize I need help.
I need a help.
To bottom.
And there's nothing wrong with that.
That's the realization you have to have.
Don't be ashamed to get help to go
i need help with this yes i mean and that that that's what it is so i i think maybe it's not
like whatever that help is yeah it's different for each person it may not be what i did because
i had somebody send me an email today and it fucked them up what i did fucked them up and i
don't look i don't know what they did you know. You know, I'm doing it by the book.
I'm listening to my doctor, my nutritionist, my dietician.
I take meetings.
I take my vitamins, my supplements, my protein, and I walk.
I move.
I'm telling you right now, movement.
I'll say it right to your camera.
Movement.
Move.
Walk.
You don't have to lift weight. You don't have to do Kung Fu. You don't have to do shit. You just have to walk,
walk, walk, walk, walk around the block. Once do it twice, keep going as much as you can.
That's it. And then if you, you know, you want to build muscle, lift some weights. And I do 20
pounds. I do 20 pound weights and I do chest arms,
everything three times a week.
And I feel strong and I'm,
I'm,
I feel great,
but that's the,
that's the key to life.
The,
the fountain of youth is exercise.
That's it.
Yeah.
Exercise every day,
something fountain of youth.
You'll live.
We don't move.
We don't move in this.
We go and we sit at the desk.
The modern world.
And then we get a ride home.
Everybody has a nice car now.
There's no more shit boxes.
Then you get home and you sit down and you stuff your fat face
with all kinds of processed shit.
We don't even know what's in it.
We don't even look.
We don't care.
We're just hungry and tired.
We're sad and lonely.
And then we wake up
and slowly but surely, five pounds, 10 pounds, 15 pounds,
all of a sudden, 150 fucking pounds.
That's walking around with, I mean, Jesus Christ,
that's 10 babies, right?
That's, how many turkeys is that?
It's a crazy amount of weight and your body adapts to it.
You figure out what pants fit, what socks works, what underwear,
and you just live until you die.
Right.
And then you're what the fuck happened.
Yeah.
I think the thing is face that shame.
Ask for help.
Once you do it, it's the most relieving.
It's not as bad as you think. It's always like i remember i would be more scared of my dad coming home than when he actually came home right it's like just do
it just do it i i held out for a long time you know i'm fragile mentally in a lot of ways i held
out for a long time struggled tried to do it myself it doesn't work it doesn't work some people can grab the wheel
and steer i can't if you're not one of those people get the help if i'm driving we're fucked
if i'm driving the car yeah we're crashing into some shit apologies are gonna be doled out if i'm
like i got it yeah i gotta let go yeah let go man. Let go and let life happen.
You know what I mean?
Like the shit you worry about, you have no control over.
It's like that story I told you.
I love that story.
Yeah.
That story.
I don't know if it's good or bad.
My son said to me the other night, he was like, dad, is this bad that we can't? I was like, I don't know yet, son.
I'll let you know.
Right now, I don't know.
It could be the best thing ever, brother.
But right now, we got to leave.
We got to go.
And what you're saying is because sometimes those things that you think are bad
in that moment end up becoming things that are good later.
100%.
So you're not in control.
You can't call it.
Right.
And that's why that's beautiful.
I think so.
Yeah.
I think so.
Now, look, man, that's a day-to-day thing.
Sometimes you wake up and I'm sad.
But at least I'm aware of why I'm sad now. Because go shit i'm sad i didn't move yet i didn't exercise let me go move a little bit and see where i'm at after that all of a sudden i'll go do a
half hour on the treadmill watch a fucking documentary on jeffrey dahmer or some serial
killer and i feel good my leg i feel something i allow to help itself. That's feel good viewing right there.
