(20:46 – 22:32)

• The show closes with a moment of sincerity:
  • “Just be nice to everybody, man. We all humans and we all on this big rock together. Just be nice.” — David Jolly (21:00)
• They briefly discuss the show Pluribus, musing philosophically about the implications if everyone was truly nice—leading to both utopian and dystopian elements.

When I used to go, they used to have a store called Birdines. Back in Florida.

[David Jolly]

Okay.

[Spunky Robinson]

And this pregnant Caucasian lady, every time I go in there, she was working. I used to run behind the register and go fill her up belly until my mom left. Up on her dress? Yes.

[Michelle]

Weird.

[Host/Interviewer]

And then you would finish and they called you Spunky.

[Host/Interviewer]

No kidding.

[Spunky Robinson]

Absolutely.

[Host/Interviewer]

And the lady, the, the, the, the pregnant woman wasn't like she just scared to death of you. She allowed.

[Spunky Robinson]

No, she was cool. I, I, I think her mom became friends after that.

[Host/Interviewer]

But was she? No.

[Spunky Robinson]

No, she wasn't.

[Host/Interviewer]

Something was going on. Did you always get new toys after you rubbed the pregnant lady's belly?

[David Jolly]

Yes, probably.

[Spunky Robinson]

What was something new now? I don't know.

[Michelle]

You didn't figure out. All of a sudden your mom comes back in, it's like, oh, my mom decided not to buy anything.

[David Jolly]

Yeah, right.

[Michelle]

She was shopping for 45 minutes, goes out, the car comes back in.

[Spunky Robinson]

[Host/Interviewer]

Drops the mic on the stage and goes out and then just starts rubbing bellies.

[Spunky Robinson]

I hate telling it because I always. Yeah, you know.

[Host/Interviewer]

[Spunky Robinson]

Yeah, exactly.

[Host/Interviewer]

He did.

[David Jolly]

He did at the last show, matter of fact. That's right. He did do that. It was a lady in the audience. One lady. Was just kind of big. She wasn't pregnant, but she got offended.

[Michelle]

Because he got in trouble.

[David Jolly]

I was like, that's pretty rude.

[Host/Interviewer]

Oh my God.

[Michelle]

Excuse me, Chris, when are you due?

[Host/Interviewer]

And he's still. Do you remember doing it at three? You don't remember that? You just thought, I'm rubbing that. Yeah, under the dress.

[Spunky Robinson]

Under the dress, under her shirt.

[Michelle]

Yeah.

[David Jolly]

He was a wild boy.

[Host/Interviewer]

Yeah, you went at it.

[David Jolly]

Yeah.

[Host/Interviewer]

Never did have to shake it off in the wrong spot.

[Spunky Robinson]

I haven't slightest idea. I just know that's the story. She's been called me spunky since I was like 3 years old.

[Host/Interviewer]

And you were Spunky. What's your real first name?

[Michelle]

Antoine.

[Host/Interviewer]

Antoine. All right, Spunky. That's cool. You don't have a nickname?

[Michelle]

David?

[David Jolly]

Nah, just. Well, my last name. Jolly. Everybody called me Jolly like when I was in school or whatever.

[Host/Interviewer]

Yeah. You only get a nickname if you rape.

[David Jolly]

Yeah, if you rape. I never rape. You know what I mean?

[Host/Interviewer]

If you're not. If you don't rape in a toddler, you're not getting a good name.

[David Jolly]

You got to be a child of rapist to get a nickname. I got him when I was three.

[Michelle]

Years old when I started raping.

[Host/Interviewer]

Yeah, rapist is something I shouldn't think is so funny. But that phrase by it. So he's a child rapist. You gotta be careful.

[David Jolly]

It's a funny word. But you know, people want to get butthurt about everything. The word rape is funny. It's the word, not.

[Host/Interviewer]

The action of rape.

[David Jolly]

No, not so much.

[Host/Interviewer]

But although I talked about this yesterday that, you know, the Golden State Killer, they just revealed why he got caught. And then he was. He killed a bunch of people in like the 80s or 90s. And then they caught him with DNA in 2016. And all of his victims said they described him as a man with a penis so small it was hard to explain. So when they got the DNA evidence and they just released all this yesterday, they had to take photographs of things. And his penis was one of the things like is they're going to show pictures to the people. And the photographer was like, it was. It's the circumference of a diamond the size of a pinky knuckle. Right. And so the photographer couldn't get a picture of it and he raped a bunch of people. And I'm like, silver lining on that though.

[Spunky Robinson]

Yeah.

[Host/Interviewer]

I mean, if you, David, were going to rape me and I'm like, oh God, this is horrible. Then you pulled your pants up. I'm like, well, this is the best case scenario.

[David Jolly]

If you get it right. You don't want him to have a hole.

[Host/Interviewer]

That's the type of rape. I'm like, ah, terrible.

[David Jolly]

Is it really rape? Is he really inside of you?

[Host/Interviewer]

I'm going to be just making the noises to make him feel like it was, oh, this is a nightmare. I'm gonna need therapy for years.

[David Jolly]

Yeah, get that whole way over there.

[Host/Interviewer]

All right, we're all done here. And then I just kind of clean off and go. That was weird. Kind of like you with the belly. It was like, you're a three year old. You probably had a bigger one than him.

[Spunky Robinson]

He said you were three year old.

[David Jolly]

So he got away with this from the 80s and then like the DNA caught him in 2016.

[Host/Interviewer]

2016, yeah.

[David Jolly]

And he was just like mad short penis raping everybody.

[Host/Interviewer]

Just this much penis.

[David Jolly]

Whoa.

[Host/Interviewer]

And he's murdering people too. He threw some murders out there too.

[David Jolly]

Oh, you know, gotta get his numbers, you know what I mean?

[Spunky Robinson]

Leaving the people in the desert or something.

[Host/Interviewer]

Golden State killer, I think, did leave people out in the outside. Yeah, I don't remember his whole deal, but it was bad. But then, but then to get identified as that, it's like, oh, okay, yeah, that's bad. Yeah. Like a three year old child rapist.

[David Jolly]

Is like, yeah, y' all probably had the same size sword.

[Michelle]

The ones that he got rid of were the ones that said, you're huge.

[David Jolly]

What kind of lives are these?

[Host/Interviewer]

The ones, the ones he killed were the laughing ones, you know, like your rape victim starting to go, what's going on?

[David Jolly]

Like, what is happening?

[Host/Interviewer]

What are you tickling me for? Stop it.

[David Jolly]

Yeah, this is, this is even illegal.

[Host/Interviewer]

It's just hilarious. And then he's like, oh, I'm going to kill her now. I'll show her.

[David Jolly]

Oh, I'll show you. Fun.

[Host/Interviewer]

But yeah, I mean, but he, you know, he went to jail with it. And when the photographer was taking pictures, he's like, I can't get a shot of this. There's nothing. And they made them peel up, like pull on the foreskin to show where it was that.

[David Jolly]

Whoa. Yeah, that's crazy.

[Host/Interviewer]

How about that? I wouldn't make it past, I guess, age 18. I'd start, you know, learning how to tie a noose. Yeah, I don't think I'm gonna get through life with one of those.

[David Jolly]

Not with a short dog. Unless, I mean, unless, like you want to like sacrifice and be like, hey, man, maybe I might like change out, like switch sides.

[Host/Interviewer]

Oh, I'd say, that's what I said yesterday. I'm like, why not make the transition? You've already got the lady button.

[David Jolly]

Yeah. It's just.

[Michelle]

You create the dry pocket.

[Host/Interviewer]

You throw dewalt. Bore a hole in that thing and let's go to town. Right?

[David Jolly]

Buy some pants. Yeah, yeah. You know what I mean?

[Host/Interviewer]

When your mom would go grocery shopping, did it get to a point where you're like. You're asking every day, can we go to grocery?

[Host/Interviewer]

Can we go to.

[David Jolly]

Right, right.

[Spunky Robinson]

Like, b. Like, come on, we can't come to this store every day.

[David Jolly]

Yeah, come on, man. We ain't bought nothing.

[Spunky Robinson]

I think her. Yeah. I think her and a woman actually became good friends. But I never met her before. I think she. They split up or whatever before I was able to realize who she was before.

[David Jolly]

Realize all the rap. Like, I hate telling that story.

[Host/Interviewer]

I really hate telling that story. Great story. And I think the statute of limitations is up.

[David Jolly]

Yeah, definitely.

[Host/Interviewer]

It's definitely her ass in jail now. It's been like 40 years. If she's not mad now, if she pops up now, it'd be all right. I've been thinking about this for 50 years.

[David Jolly]

Wait a minute.

[Spunky Robinson]

30 years later, they popping up with accusations.

[Host/Interviewer]

Judge would be like, he was three. Yeah. Throwing the book at him. Yeah. That's incredible. David, what do we. What do you do with your spare time? What's a. What's a hobby of David Jolly?

[David Jolly]

I do comedy all the time.

[Host/Interviewer]

All the time.

[David Jolly]

That's all I do. I mean, never stop.

[Host/Interviewer]

Kind of annoying in a restaurant.

[David Jolly]

Oh, well. Oh, I don't know. Like, I've been reading a lot now.

[Host/Interviewer]

You read? I don't read at all.

[David Jolly]

I like to read, but it's kind of selfish because I'm reading things to, like, make more money. You know what I mean? Like, yeah. And, like, just different ways to invest your money.

[Spunky Robinson]

Ponzi schemes.

[Host/Interviewer]

Yeah.

[David Jolly]

I wish I could find a good Ponzi scheme right now.

[Michelle]

Pray and Hustle Shop.

[Host/Interviewer]

Would you? Would you get into a Ponzi scheme if it meant money, but everybody else lost their ass. Me, too, David. Me too.

[David Jolly]

Can I get caught? That's the question.

[Host/Interviewer]

We don't get caught. You and I start one today, we don't get caught. But a thousand people lose their savings.

[David Jolly]

Hey, man. Just a thousand people, man.

[Spunky Robinson]

Automatically. I watch America Green, a big fan of great stuff. Yeah.

[David Jolly]

One thing about life is somebody got to win. Somebody got to lose. I'd rather win. Yeah.

[Spunky Robinson]

You know what I mean?

[Host/Interviewer]

Elon Musk is going to be a trillionaire. And people are mad at him. Them.

[David Jolly]

Why?

[Host/Interviewer]

Right.

[David Jolly]

This America. You could do the same thing. Just put the effort behind people wanting.

[Michelle]

To come into the country.

[Host/Interviewer]

Yeah.

[Michelle]

With the opportunity.

[Host/Interviewer]

Yeah. I'm too busy doing nothing.

[David Jolly]

Doing nothing.

[Host/Interviewer]

To be mad at somebody who's making a trillion.

[David Jolly]

Making a trillion dollars.

[Host/Interviewer]

A trillion. It's because I'm sitting on the couch.

[David Jolly]

Watching them do it and I'm buying off of Amazon.

[Host/Interviewer]

Oh, man. Is Amazon the greatest?

[David Jolly]

It's the greatest.

[Michelle]

What's the last book you read? Making Money?

[David Jolly]

Robert Green. Mastery. I've been reading that. That's called mastery. It's like 48 laws of power. But I mean, I'm just like, kind of in the begin. Beginning of it. I just bought it last week.

[Michelle]

But. Yeah.

[David Jolly]

Now, that's a good. That's a good.

[Host/Interviewer]

I can barely read in a book like that, let alone to remember.

[Michelle]

Remember the one book you're talking about? 48 laws of power.

[Host/Interviewer]

Yeah.

[Michelle]

22.

[David Jolly]

That's a great book.

[Host/Interviewer]

Yeah. I can't do it because if they're not gonna make a movie out of it, I'm not even gonna.

[David Jolly]

You gotta catch the movie. I feel.

[Host/Interviewer]

Yeah. Movies are better than books. And I don't. Anybody who argues that is an idiot.

[David Jolly]

Is an idiot.

[Host/Interviewer]

Two hours of a movie is better than, like, a whole day or two of books. Absolutely. And trying to figure it out. I'm not doing it.

[David Jolly]

I just like to get lost in a book. Like to let my Because I'm a only child. Well, I got two and a sister on my dad's side, but I'm my mom only child. So I used to get lost in books. Just run away, just let my mind just.

[Michelle]

What was the first one you read? You remember?

[David Jolly]

Nah. Peter Pan.

[Host/Interviewer]

No kidding.

[David Jolly]

I mean, maybe. Maybe, you know, I was Chronicles.

[Michelle]

[Michelle]

Lion. Witch in the Wardrobe.

[David Jolly]

That's a good book.

[Host/Interviewer]

That's pretty advanced. Yeah. Yeah. What was yours? Was it about lactation or something? All how to know you're expecting.

[Spunky Robinson]

I forgot. What was the first book I read? I'm reading a book now that's in my room. I can't even think of name of the man behind the meaning or something like that.

[Sleep Number Ad Narrator]

Oh, oh.

[Host/Interviewer]

The man's search for meaning something.

[Spunky Robinson]

It's in my bag in the room.

[Michelle]

[Host/Interviewer]

But I. I seen this guy on the podcast. I was like when he was talking.

[Host/Interviewer]

About, sorry, man, I can't. I wish I could read. I just. I'm terrible at it. I'm so bad. It's ridiculous. You're having this meteoric jump now and kill Tony is like a thing that everybody's doing here at the mothership. What's it like to feel that happening? How long you been doing this?

[David Jolly]

I've been doing comedy nine years.

[Host/Interviewer]

Nine years now. And you've had success? I've had success, but now people know David Jolly's name.

[David Jolly]

Yeah, I mean, from like a regional success to like it being national. It's amazing because, like, I'm a down to earth person, you know, I'm not like a jerk, you know, I'm not hard to work with. So, like when I meet people, you know, they'll be like, oh, I can't believe. And I'm like, like, why? Yeah, I mean, I get it. I guess I just, you know, I think it's awesome meeting these different people, meeting the weirdos, you know, like everybody. I love the weirdos.

[Host/Interviewer]

The weirdos are the best.

[David Jolly]

The weirdos are the best.

[Host/Interviewer]

Those are the stories. Yeah. You meet weirdos and you're like, that's gonna stay with me for a little bit. There's plenty of.

[David Jolly]

And.

[Michelle]

And there's plenty in the comedy community.

[Host/Interviewer]

Oh, my God. Comedians themselves.

[David Jolly]

Oh, comedians. There's a lot of comedians in Austin that are like the open mic level comedians.

[Michelle]

Yeah.

[David Jolly]

They eventually figure it out that it's not like shock, but it's a great comedy scene.

[Host/Interviewer]

Oh, it's crazy.

[David Jolly]

But the real weirdos, I remember I had A show in Baltimore. Then I was doing the weekend in this part of Pennsylvania. And this guy drove from Baltimore to Pennsylvania. And he was like, man, I came to your Baltimore show. I wanted you to listen to my minute. The minute he wanted to do On Kill. And I'm like, you drove five hours? And I was like, yes, give it to me, man. I would not end up chopped up. You know what I'm saying? I'm like, yes, that is great.

[Host/Interviewer]

That was an awesome minute. I'll drive you to Austin from the backseat.

[David Jolly]

For real. The shovel and duct tape followed you.

[Host/Interviewer]

From Baltimore to Pittsburgh or whatever?

[David Jolly]

Well, no, no, it was in Pennsylvania. It was called, like, Landover. It was a small.

[Host/Interviewer]

Oh, man. Oh, that's Maryland.

[David Jolly]

Yeah, well, it was. It was a small city. I forgot the name of it.

[Host/Interviewer]

But he chased you down to do a minute. And was it really good?

[David Jolly]

Nah, it was horrible. It was real bad. It was like. Cause at first I was about to say, like, hell no, I don't want to hear that shit. But I mean, that's not to be a jerk. But I can't do nothing for you. Like, what can I do for you, right? Like, I don't want to get you.

[Host/Interviewer]

Just give him a thumbs up and go, move on.

[David Jolly]

Yeah, I got it. And I was like, you know what, man? Like, I was like, yeah, I listen to it and I listen. And then I was like, whoa, this is getting dark. I think he might have said the N word. You know what I mean? I was like, yeah, that's where you put it.

[Host/Interviewer]

Yeah.

[David Jolly]

I was like, swung for the N.

[Host/Interviewer]

Word in the first minute.

[David Jolly]

Yeah. I was like, man, this is gonna be golden. Tony gonna love this, man. I told him like, let me call Tony, right?

[Spunky Robinson]

Get Tony on the line.

[Host/Interviewer]

Imagine if you had him on FaceTime, his minute with you.

[David Jolly]

Oh, man, Tony would have killed me, Tony. He would have killed me. Yeah, I would have died, you know, but I would. I would have did it like, hey, you gonna watch this with me? Just in case.

[Host/Interviewer]

Just in case.

[David Jolly]

Chopping me up.

[Host/Interviewer]

It's a witness. You're a witness. Describe him to the police. Got a dime sized penis.

[David Jolly]

He like to rub bellies.

[Host/Interviewer]

David Jolly is at Stand Up Live tonight and tonight only. 7:30. You can catch him. David, leave us with words of wisdom. Fix the world one way. Something you're in charge for a day. What do you move? What do you change?

[David Jolly]

Just be nice.

[Host/Interviewer]

That's per. See, that's the most simple and basic answer.

[David Jolly]

Just be nice to everybody, man.

[Host/Interviewer]

That's right.

[David Jolly]

We all humans and we all on this big rock together. Just be nice.

[Host/Interviewer]

Are you watching the show Pluribus by chance?

[David Jolly]

Pluribus. What is that on?

[Host/Interviewer]

Just started. It's the guy who did Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.

[David Jolly]

Is it on amc?

[Host/Interviewer]

It's on Apple.

[David Jolly]

Apple.

[Host/Interviewer]

And it's kind of that. It's this weird thing where it's just this. This genetic code comes from space and we figure it out and it becomes an outbreak of kind of kindness. But we're all one thought.

[David Jolly]

Yeah.

[Host/Interviewer]

So we're all one. Yeah. So always say, well, let's be one. Live is one. The world is one. Well, here's what it would look like. And it's scary because we're all in the same. Like, nobody has any individuality. Weird.

[David Jolly]

Same.

[Host/Interviewer]

So when you say be nice, it would be nice if everybody did it. But when you see everybody doing it, it. There's going to be degrees.

[David Jolly]

Oh, yeah. Oh, absolutely.

[Host/Interviewer]

There's still going to be a in there somewhere. It's just nicer than we used to be.

[David Jolly]

I mean, you can. And there's nothing wrong with being a. That's the beauty and comedy. But like, just don't be a. Like my friends.

[Host/Interviewer]

Yeah.

[David Jolly]

Like, we talk crazy to each other, but I mean, that's my real friend. You know what I mean? But like to everyone else, like, just.

[Host/Interviewer]

Smile, just be nice.

[David Jolly]

Like I told somebody, we were sitting outside the hotel today. I told the lady, hey, good morning.

[Host/Interviewer]

[David Jolly]

Like, like, good morning.

[Host/Interviewer]

You know what I mean? Surprised her.
