Partridge Family.
Robert Kelly
Oh, God. What's up, everybody? It's me, Robert Kelly. And as you can tell by the music choices, Big J's not in studio, and I. I let my guest pick the tune. The great Colin Quinn is filling in for Jay. Oh, my God, you. And here's the problem, okay? I gotta admit, it really does make you. The Padre family really did put a smile on my face. You can't help but like it. Look, Jacob's smiling. He never smiles.
Jim Florentine
No, he loves his song. I mean, Jacob. Jacob pretended he didn't know it. He knew it very well.
Robert Kelly
He knows it.

Another Sean Cassidy?
Robert Kelly
Sean Cassidy was his brother. He had a hit song, too. What was his hit? So he was on the. The Hardy Boys, right? Yes, right. But the. He was the cool one. The other one was just the good looking one, right?
Jim Florentine
Yeah, that's exactly right.
Robert Kelly
Sean Cassidy had like buck teeth or some weird shit.
Jim Florentine
Yeah, yeah, but he had. He had a little vibe going.
Robert Kelly
He had a vibe.
Christine
Do Run Run. He sang a remake of To Do Run.
Robert Kelly
To Do Run Run, which is a huge song. How can you not sing? Not play that low? Did you Did Run, Run Run. Look, At Paco's. Like what? Yeah. Did do run run run to do run run? Yeah, he. But you know what they had? You know what he had? That was my favorite thing. Here it is right here. This is our music. Back when America. This is. Is what Trump R. He wants to get back to this.
Christine
I played this over and over and
Robert Kelly
over when I was a kid on cassette. On cassette.
Christine
I had the album.
Robert Kelly
Oh, you had an album? Yeah, I had this on cassette. When America was simple and so were songs and girls were easy. Girls were easy. They. They'd actually give up some. Some cootie for a song like this. The thing that he had.
Jim Florentine
Meanwhile, Black Blue's like. They stole this from Howlin wolf back in 1937.
Robert Kelly
We stole it all. We stole it all and made it corny and digestible.
Christine
His co host on the Hardy, the Hardy Boys co star was Parker Stevenson.
Robert Kelly
Parker Stevenson.
Christine
Kirsty Alley said massive penis got a big penis. She was married to him.
Robert Kelly
Really?
Christine
Yes.
Robert Kelly
And they got divorced, of course.
Jim Florentine
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
Well, you can't stay with a girl who has monkeys.
Jim Florentine
She had monkeys as pets?
Robert Kelly
Yeah. What are they called? Limas.
Jim Florentine
She had a. Oh, no.
Robert Kelly
Whole backyard full of limas.
Jim Florentine
You know, I was once in Florida down by, I don't know, like near West Palm.
Robert Kelly
We'll see where this is going.
Jim Florentine
Near West Palm.
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Jim Florentine
And there was. I was walking. I was staying with this girl and was walking in this weird, like a weird, like location. It was houses. Yeah. But anyway, the shorts version is they all had, you know, screens, but in one screen, I'm walking by, there was this monkey and every day I would forget about it because I was stoned and drunk. And every day I walked by and it would come back. Ah. And scream. Every day. But he was. He was trapped like she had him trapped like. And this monkey wanted to get out and kill. You could just see it wanted to kill people.
Robert Kelly
It was a bad neighborhood.
Jim Florentine
It wasn't a bad neighborhood. It was like a redneck kind of neighborhood.
Robert Kelly
Thanks, Christine.
Jim Florentine
It was a redneck neighborhood.
Robert Kelly
That was a joke. Sorry, bad taste. Thank you, Paco. When I was in Costa Rica, the. The Airbnb that we had, every morning at the Same time around 30 Howla monkeys would come out and that, you know, the. The lead one would come out and then make sure the. It was cool. And then the little ones would follow with. And they just hang out in the tree and just sit there and. And you weren't supposed to do that, but I did that. Yeah, that sound.
Jim Florentine
Wow, is that crazy.
Robert Kelly
And then they were, they would just hang out in the tree, look at you. And you're not supposed to look them in the eye because that's like a sign of aggression.
Jim Florentine
Sure.
Robert Kelly
Where they just, you know, they would, you know. And it's so funny. I couldn't keep. I. I was trying to just keep eye contact with the. The one one had huge balls.
Jim Florentine
Right.
Robert Kelly
Which I thought was amazing, how big their balls were. And I was staring him in the eye and I actually bitched me out.
Jim Florentine
I looked down like, jim Florentin, he has huge balls.
Robert Kelly
How do you know that?
Jim Florentine
One time we were at his pizza place and everybody's saying, Jim has huge balls. He's like, I have huge balls. He was the first one to just say it. Yeah. So I go, let's see. He goes to the bathroom. We're sitting at the table like a pizzeria. And he goes in the bathroom and just stands there and opens the door slightly and takes his balls out. The door was open.
Robert Kelly
Was it worth it?
Jim Florentine
Anybody could have walked by. I don't remember being blown away, but I remember thinking, yeah, I guess he's that big enough to where he shows him. You're not like, what are you doing? Those aren't huge.
Robert Kelly
They were big enough that you were like, okay, good. You sat down, had pizza.
Jim Florentine
Yeah. We were in the middle of eating, watching. It was the floor show.
Robert Kelly
I don't know why having balls, the. There's a certain stage in my life showing your balls was just fun.
Jim Florentine
It's funny.
Robert Kelly
I don't know why it's fun to pull your balls out. Not the dick. I don't like pulling my balls.
Jim Florentine
Is funny.
Robert Kelly
Dick and balls. Not funny.
Jim Florentine
Balls funny.
Robert Kelly
Hilarious. I used to wait tables at La Familia Giorgio's, shout out La Familias. And me and Aldo Benny, who was La familia, and we used to, we used to weigh tables and it was, you know, mob, whatever kind of run place. And we used to have our, our balls out under our aprons.
Jim Florentine
Oh, my God.
Robert Kelly
And we used to do the lunch rush.
Jim Florentine
Oh my God.
Robert Kelly
And we used to, we used to go, hey, hey, Al. And I pull my apron up and show my nuts, but right next to tables just to see if we could get caught doing it. Never got caught.
Jim Florentine
Thank God you never got caught up. Who's a. What if it's a mobbed guy's aunt and his sister in law, they're sitting there at a table.
Robert Kelly
It was, it was a five dollar five. Five dishes, special meal. It was all fucking penny pinchers from the district. The financial district was never. They only came in on weekends. Joe the Barber.
Jim Florentine
But it was in. It was in North End, right?
Robert Kelly
North End, Best. Best Italian section in the world.
Christine
By the way, a friend of mine, he was a waiter for a while, and one of the women sitting at the table really pissed him off, so complained about her cappuccino, and so he took it and froed the milk with his nutsack hair and gave it back to her, and she. She said it was great.
Robert Kelly
Too far. She didn't complain.
Jim Florentine
Too far. Too much.
Robert Kelly
It's too much.
Jim Florentine
Your friend's a psychopath.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, dude. Yeah. You don't want to dip your balls and stuff. That's too far.
Jim Florentine
Is this friend working and sitting on a microphone right now?
Robert Kelly
No.
Jim Florentine
Well, you know, there used to be. I used to go. This girl, she told me she worked in Japan, and they would. There was a restaurant that a bar people would go to where the waiters would stir the drink with their penis. Like, that was part of the.
Robert Kelly
In Japan and.
Jim Florentine
In Japan. I know.
Robert Kelly
Are you sure it's Japan? Yes. I remember it took 30 minutes to get a drink.
Jim Florentine
But isn't that crazy? Like, people would go there. Like, that was part of the hook of the place, like. And you'd watch the guy start the drink with his penis. Well, she said Japan was very perverted.
Robert Kelly
I tell you what, it is a good hook. I'd go.
Jim Florentine
I would go once. Yeah.
Robert Kelly
I would go, you have to go just once. Yeah, Yeah. I love taking my balls out back in the day. I won't take them out now. They're too big now.
Jim Florentine
You could have worked in the. In Japan. Big in Japan.
Robert Kelly
I could. I could work there because of my face, too, according to you.
Jim Florentine
Yes.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, whatever.
Jim Florentine
I look like. Yeah, I look like what you look like. You probably put an armbar on Jean Claude Van Damme at some point in the early 90s.
Robert Kelly
Real quick, where am I playing next weekend?
Jim Florentine
At the end of where am I playing? Oh, I don't remember. Oh, wait, wait, wait. Uncle Vinny's. No, no, you already did Uncle Vinny's.
Robert Kelly
I did. You piece of.
Jim Florentine
Yeah, just did Uncle Vinny's.
Robert Kelly
Hold on.
Jim Florentine
It's somewhere from. Oh, it's like. Oh, wait a minute. It's a weird Ohio gig. Or weird. It's. It's somewhere. Illinois or Ohio. It's. It's a strange. It's two different locations.
Robert Kelly
No.
Jim Florentine
Yes. No, two different locations.
Robert Kelly
I'm gonna be. It's a trick question. I'M opening for Shane in Boston. You would have never got it. Oh.
Jim Florentine
But the next other gig after that is some weird Illinois or Ohio gigs that we each went separate.
Robert Kelly
I'm in Ohio. Cleveland. You're right. And then I'm. I'm actually. And then I'm doing. I'm doing New Orleans.
Jim Florentine
New Orleans. Yeah. And Alabama the next day.
Robert Kelly
It's. It's crazy. It's nuts.
Jim Florentine
It's.
Robert Kelly
You gotta stop. You gotta get another hobby. And it's only me.
Jim Florentine
I. It's only you. I go downtown and go all around.
Robert Kelly
It's only me. I don't understand it. It makes me frightened. We were talking about we're the only comics. All week long. I packed the show with all comics that did not get. Are not going to Netflix as a joke festival in la.
Jim Florentine
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
No, you're not going. Voss is on tomorrow. He ain't going. And Versus on Wednesday. He ain't going. No. None of us gotten Fired Festival. It's the. Yeah, we created our own festival. There you go, Jake.
Jim Florentine
This is the bonfire.
Robert Kelly
This is the Bonfire Fest.
Jim Florentine
Yeah. We're doing our festival. They're saturated with comics. There's so many comics. It's. It's annoying.
Robert Kelly
There's a lot of comics. There's actually comics that aren't comics. There's actually people who aren't comics that are doing comedy at the festival.
Jim Florentine
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Jim Florentine
Well, it's. But it's also obnoxious that many people and all the LA fans are going to be forced to go even though they don't want to go. It's too many people. Like, people feel compelled to go. Like the.
Robert Kelly
Like.
Jim Florentine
Okay, they're giving us discount. More tickets. Okay. Eight for 12. And it's just going to be packed with people that don't want to be there.
Robert Kelly
Eight for 12.
Jim Florentine
Well, I'm going to say they give you like 12.
Robert Kelly
Eight.
Jim Florentine
Well, here's the thing, by the way. No one's ever said. I don't know why I decided to invent that.
Robert Kelly
I love. I love that. That's the excuse why we didn't get picked to go.
Jim Florentine
Yeah. Because we don't. We're not part of the saturation of comedy.
Robert Kelly
Oh, is that it?
Jim Florentine
The overexposure of comedy? We're trying to stand tall.
Robert Kelly
Well, we're doing a damn good job of not being over saturated, I tell you that. Yeah. This whole week is full of guests who aren't oversaturated.
Jim Florentine
That's right.
Robert Kelly
I mean, every single person I know is at the festival.
Jim Florentine
Yes.
Robert Kelly
They're all there.
Jim Florentine
Even people I didn't think were there. They're like, oh, no, he's doing that show there.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, Ari's out there. Yeah, Ari's out there. Jay's out there. Lewis is out there. Yeah, Joe List is out there. Right? Is Joe List out there?
Jim Florentine
Yeah, I saw Jolis the other day.
Robert Kelly
Dan Sodas out there.
Jim Florentine
I gave Joe a good talking to because Joe left me a message. Here's. Here's what bothers me, and I don't blame. It's not just Joe, but let's put John, you know, for the hell of it is he leads me and he goes, hey, you don't have to call me back. Just saying hi. Don't tell somebody. You don't have to call me back. Obviously, now the ball's in their court, so if you leave me a message. Oh, you have to call me back. You have. I don't call you back.
Robert Kelly
This.
Jim Florentine
I'm going to irritate you.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, but you know what that is? That's because Joe didn't want to call you in the first place. That's because he was calling just to say I called.
Jim Florentine
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
And when you didn't pick up, it's like, dude, I'm in. I ting you're it. I'm out.
Jim Florentine
But he doesn't want you to call us. He's not tagging, right?
Robert Kelly
He does not want to talk to you. Does not want. That's a thing.
Jim Florentine
Who.
Robert Kelly
Somebody's going, I haven't called him a while. I feel bad. And then he calls and you don't pick up. Thank God. Hey, man, you don't have to call me back. But whatever. He's just calling you and he's out.
Jim Florentine
And I. That's so funny. And, you know, I said it to him too. And he goes, so what, you got a new bit?
Robert Kelly
Yeah. Joe is not a. He never calls. He never calls. Norton never calls.
Jim Florentine
Well, Norton put us. Norton put us in our place about 14 years ago. We all kept calling him. One day we start talking to each other going, does not ever call you back. He never calls me back. He pisses me off. He goes, he never calls me back either. He'll respond. And even with texts, he'll respond to texts. He's like a Gen Z personality with this kind of thing. He won't call you ever. Never calls, and he'll text when he feels like it.
Robert Kelly
Two days later, it will be two days later. And then I'd be like, dude, what the fuck? It's two days later. Yeah, dude, I was at the gym for two days. Two days. It's like, what the fuck you talking. It's weird. Norton did release us from a friendship that we had. Like, I call Voss, I call you, I call Keith. You pick up, we talk. If you call Norton, he won't pick up the phone.
Jim Florentine
No, he's.
Robert Kelly
He's. He has rules. He'll say, text me, it's better, and
Jim Florentine
then he won't call back.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, and then.
Jim Florentine
He has boundaries.
Robert Kelly
He has. He has weird boundaries that he set up with us. Is. Do you think we did something?
Jim Florentine
I mean, how could we all have done the same thing? That's ridiculous. If it was one of us, you'd say he's pissed.
Robert Kelly
We're very similar. I mean. I mean.
Jim Florentine
Well, so is he, though, I'll tell you. We're gonna have to test out that MMA on him and see if it's really working. He keeps us up.
Paco
Oh.
Jim Florentine
Oh. Head with that fool and see what he's got.
Robert Kelly
He's not taking MMA to fight us or anybody else. He's taking it to defend himself at his house. You know that. You know MMA crazy courses Jim's taken. He's taking Jiu Jitsu and he's taking something else.
Jim Florentine
Muay Thai. He's been doing it for, like, three or four years. Consistently twice a week.
Christine
Yeah, that's pretty good.
Jim Florentine
And Muay Thai is probably his specialty because he does look like a very Thai. He looks like a little, you know, I mean, he's statue, and he's got those big calves that a lot of Asians have. No offense, but they do have.
Robert Kelly
But you look at him right there.
Jim Florentine
Yeah, there you go.
Christine
Have you seen him fight?
Robert Kelly
No, he doesn't fight.
Jim Florentine
He won't fight.
Robert Kelly
He's not fighting.
Christine
He's training well. Have you seen him train?
Jim Florentine
Fight well, you won't let us go to the. That would be so awkward. Show up if he doesn't even want us to call. Can you imagine if we show up at the gym? We're looking through the window like his parents.
Robert Kelly
It's like Cobra Kai. No, I could just see him, though. No one ever gets a choke on him. It just slips out.
Jim Florentine
Yeah, it just sinks in.
Robert Kelly
Jim never taps. All his limbs are flexible. It's like trying to do Jiu Jitsu with a booger. I mean, I love jib, but I can't imagine him because, you know, I go to Matt's Max's Jiu Jitsu, and it's pretty aggressive. These guys are pretty aggressive. I. I Would love to go and watch him just audit a class. Just watch Jim wrestle. I bet he's. I bet he's in a triangle intentionally.
Jim Florentine
I bet he goes to. He goes to Max's class. He would fit right in. They'd think he was a 14 year old.
Robert Kelly
Oh, I'd love to put him and Max together to see Max choke him out. Oh, that'd be fantastic at Thanksgiving, right in front of his girl Nikki. Oh, Jimmy, you get choked up by a 12 year old. I just gave her a Puerto Rican accent.
Jim Florentine
I don't know why she had that accent. That was his fantasy of the transit.
Robert Kelly
Oh, you know what happened this weekend, which was awesome. Oh, I'm so excited to tell everybody, the whole crew, because you're part of it. I'm very excited. Oh, I got boob pic. And I got a sexy note on social media. And I'm talking. It wasn't sexy. It was dirty. Right down my alley.
Christine
Whoa.
Robert Kelly
I got a boob pic. So I got a thank you fan of the show because I was complaining last week. I never get anything.
Christine
I don't believe.
Robert Kelly
You got to ask. You don't believe. So you want to see it?
Christine
Yes.
Robert Kelly
All right, I'll show it to you. But I do. I don't want you judging the boobs. No, I don't want judging. All right, I'll show you boobs, but I don't want judging of the boobs. All right. Beggars can't be chooses. There. I. There. I like them. They're very big. And I would say, I don't know, should I show them?
Jim Florentine
I feel male or female guys have boobs now too. Don't be so intolerant.
Robert Kelly
No, I'm not intolerant. It's female boobs. Oh, here we go. You ready for this? You ready for this? There's the dirty message. You want to hear the dirty message?
Jim Florentine
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
Do you want to hear it?
Jim Florentine
Yeah. Then. Then the boob pick.
Robert Kelly
I should have. Well, here's the problem with the dirty message.
Jim Florentine
Oh, too dirty?
Robert Kelly
No, it was perfect. Right down my alley. I was so into it. But then at the end, she threw dawn in the mix.
Jim Florentine
Oh, well, she's trying to be polite. She's like, hey, I don't want to be. I don't break up your marriage.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, but it was like, right. I was in it. I was reading, and all of a sudden it's like. And.
Jim Florentine
And Dawn's yelling. You picture dawn yelling at you? What the hell are you doing?
Robert Kelly
She's. It said you and don Should. It was just like, read it. Huh? Chopaka, read it. Yeah. Paco, come over here.
Jim Florentine
Now, could you read it in female voice?
Robert Kelly
Now, I'm not gonna reveal who it was, so I don't want you to see the name because you'll fucking hit her up and like her and follow her, you pervert. All right? Yeah. Grab that. Grab that microphone. We're a professional radio show. You don't need to use my mic. Okay? Ready? Yeah, go ahead. Now read it in a second.
Jim Florentine
Voice is too deep.
Robert Kelly
No, do it in your voice. Voice like your father's voice.
Paco
Milk you. I think you're so sexy. I want you to come in my mouth, light your cigar for you, rub your shoulders. I want to put all your balls in my mouth.
Jim Florentine
Oh, how many you have?
Robert Kelly
Two. I got two.
Jim Florentine
I said all your balls.
Robert Kelly
Well, she could have said one and I would have been like, what about the other one?
Jim Florentine
But. But she should have said your balls.
Robert Kelly
All right, well, is three okay? Wait a minute. I mean, when you say ball, you can't just say, I want to put your ball. Yeah, all is too much. I told you not to judge it. Okay, but you're right. Balls is too much.
Jim Florentine
You said don't judge the boobs.
Robert Kelly
That's a love letter. All is too much.
Jim Florentine
You're right.
Paco
I want to put all your balls in my mouth.
Robert Kelly
It's way too much. All right, we're going to have to. I thought that was ani. Yeah.
Christine
Is it Ani?
Robert Kelly
It's not Ani. It's real. And I really thank you so much for this, but you should next time you write a letter. Yeah, use. Use Singular or plural? Don't use all. Okay, ready?
Paco
I want to put all your balls.
Robert Kelly
Can you just change it real quick? Let's just. Let's just. Let's just change it because you're ruining. I want to read this later and I'm gonna have to. Just change it to balls. Okay.
Paco
I want to put Balls.
Robert Kelly
Your balls. Paco, you're not taking the note. Listen, I want to put.
Jim Florentine
He did it. He did it deliberately.
Robert Kelly
I'm going with the bit. Paco, I want you to say, put your balls. Okay, Ready? Just say. Just change it to balls.
Paco
Put your balls.
Robert Kelly
No, I want to.
Paco
I want to put your balls in my mouth. Yeah, I know how you do it. Gently. It will makes you twitch to X.
Robert Kelly
She's not retarded. Could you read it again? Oh, she did a typo. That's not him. That's.
Jim Florentine
Oh, my God. First draft.
Robert Kelly
Well, she wrote it for me so I would understand it. You understand? So this is. This is Bobby slang. She probably could have wrote it, right? But it's for me. I read. I didn't even. I read none of this, by the way. I read this, and it was fine. Balls. All balls. All right, go ahead. All right, start from the topic again.
Paco

Robert Kelly
That's where I'm out. That's where I'm out. Why does she get a relax? Why do I. Why? I mean, right then I was like. I just. Dawn's face popped in. Just judgmental. Like, she can smell, but she doesn't know where it is.
Jim Florentine
Right.
Robert Kelly
While I'm getting all my balls put in her mouth.
Jim Florentine
And you know what?
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Jim Florentine

Jim Florentine
Even she got a spot.
Robert Kelly
Oh, God, I was so excited to get that. And now is.
Jim Florentine
Do you think Jay's gonna see little Kev out there?
Robert Kelly
Yeah, of course he is.
Christine
You can see the picture.
Jim Florentine

Robert Kelly
Jacob wants to see the picture.
Jim Florentine
All right, let's see. Good point. He's right.
Christine
Just proof of life.
Jim Florentine
You're right.
Robert Kelly
Hang on.
Jim Florentine
I'm changing the subject. You're right.
Robert Kelly
No, you can change it. Here you go. I'm trying to find it. Here we go. Nope, that's not it.

Jim Florentine
Let us see them.
Robert Kelly
I'm gonna relax. Whoa, man.
Jim Florentine
Nice.
Robert Kelly
Are they on camera? Sorry.
Christine
I think those qualify as all your boobs.
Robert Kelly
Oh, my God. But let me tell you something. She does the same thing with her boobs that I do with my stomach. When I'm showing my penis, I pull up the fat. Her boobs are so big. You have to pull them up a little bit. Yes, I do. I do. I'm so. Thank you very much. I finally. Out of two and a half years of doing this show, I got some good ones. I got some good ones. Had no time to use them, by the way.
Jim Florentine
Good one.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, that was a good one. Do you get boob picks?
Jim Florentine
Me? I mean, I'm a gigs.
Robert Kelly
You get mastectomy pics. I was so happy to. And then this happened. This. This me up. I was. I'm sitting at. I got this the night before. I was very excited, and she actually. I really put it in at the end. I go, hey, you had me till you said her name. My wife's name. So she redid it, I think. Did she redo the all too? And then she redid. Oh, that would suck if she redid.
Jim Florentine
Oh, no. Paco.
Robert Kelly
Paco, get over here. Paco. I think she redid the all maybe.
Jim Florentine
Well, you know, she was like, you didn't tell her, like, hey, also, while you're at it, could you.
Robert Kelly
Oh, here it is right here. Okay.
Jim Florentine
Spot editing.
Robert Kelly
There you go. There you go, Paco. I wrote. I wrote. Well, well, well. You had me till dawn. That's what I wrote. All right, good. All right.
Jim Florentine
And then she puts three emojis, so it's like.
Robert Kelly
That was great. Good work. Good Foley work.
Jim Florentine
Yeah.
Paco
Dang it. I just want to. To let you know that you do have female fans that find you very sexy, especially with the beard.
Robert Kelly
Oh, I'm keeping it.
Paco
I. I would wash you slowly.
Robert Kelly
Oh, I love being washed. I love being washed. You know, from your rev and tug days.
Jim Florentine
Oh, my God.
Robert Kelly
Have you ever been washed?
Jim Florentine
No.
Robert Kelly
You've never been washed?
Jim Florentine
No.
Robert Kelly
Oh, you don't know what it is to be a man. Oh, being washed is one of my favorite things. Oh, my God. Go ahead.
Paco
I would wash you down slowly, rub you down, and milk you.
Robert Kelly
Do you know what milk is?
Jim Florentine
She wants to hose you down.
Robert Kelly
I know. I'm not a elephant. You're a piece of. No, it's not using a hose. I'm not in the backyard.
Christine
Where does she wash you, though?
Robert Kelly
What is she all over? Dude. But where? In my tub? Well, on a. Probably a table or in the tub. Yeah, probably in the tub. Don't get too crazy. Don't. Don't break this down too much. What? Well, rewrite's good.
Jim Florentine
Let's see what else she says.
Robert Kelly
All right, go ahead. Please rub you down. Do you know what milking is?
Jim Florentine
Jerking your hand job in Asia.
Robert Kelly
It is tit. No. What? No, that's not what I've been watching
Jim Florentine
lately in South America.
Robert Kelly
Have you been watching Asian tit? Yeah. Why? I don't know. It just comes on my algorithm. Yeah, yeah, but it got there somehow because I sought it out.
Jim Florentine
Nothing with Asian tit.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, but they say I want to milk you many times over.
Jim Florentine
See?
Robert Kelly
Well, no, meaning the milk of the tits. Milking is when you're on all fours and they reach from behind and pull it almost. This is gonna make me look bad again. Like I'm a cow. Like you milk a cow.
Jim Florentine
Right?
Robert Kelly
Like that comes from when I was. My fat days. When I got into that milking a
Christine
prostate, I thought it was this.
Robert Kelly
No, it's not the milking table. Well, that's.
Jim Florentine
Oh, I like that.
Robert Kelly
That's. That's a massage table with a hole where your penis is. And there's a woman underneath milking you.
Jim Florentine
And the guy had to get up. He actually had to climb up a ladder to get up there.
Robert Kelly
Well,
Jim Florentine
Well, it's a loft. It's a. A massage loft.
Robert Kelly
That's the official milking table. I. When you don't have enough money for a milking table or you have a family where you can't go, hey, Don, I have an Amazon package coming today. Don't open it. And then I have to. I have a milking table in the garage next to my sauna. You have to get on all fours.
Jim Florentine
That's hilarious.
Robert Kelly
And do it my way. Mine's the poor people way. When you get on all fours and they. They milk you from behind. Paco read. I feel like one of those. Those guys in Times Square. Ready?
Jim Florentine
The black Israelites.
Robert Kelly
Yeah. Paco Reed.

Doug, there's nowhere I wouldn't go to help someone customize and save on car insurance with Liberty Mutual. Even if it means sitting front row at a comedy show.
Christine
Hey, everyone, check out this guy and his bird. What is this, your first date?
Doug
Oh, no. We help people customize and save on car insurance with Liberty Mutual together. We're married. Me to a human, him to a bird.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, the bird looks out of your league.
Doug
Anyways, get a'@libertymutual.com or with your local agent.

Paco
I would wash you slowly, rub you down and milk you.
Robert Kelly
Stop right there. Milking is when you get on all fours if you don't have money to get a milking table. And they milk you like a cow until you come. Now read.
Paco
I would wash you down slowly.
Robert Kelly
Stop right there. I like to be washed. Men should be washed. Read.
Paco
I would wash you down slowly.
Robert Kelly
Paco's so good.
Paco
Rub you down and milk you. Yeah, and take it all in my mouth and relax.
Robert Kelly
I mean, it's not gonna be hard to take it all in her mouth. Go ahead.
Paco
So whenever you feel down. No, you always have had a sex appeal, baby.
Jim Florentine
But wait a minute.
Robert Kelly
He added the kiss. That's not in there.
Jim Florentine
Oh, but why did she say, I'll take it all in my mouth and relax?
Robert Kelly
I'm sure she has a family around her, and she's trying to get this in to make me feel good. Yeah, she's not. She's not putting too much into it.
Jim Florentine
Well, it's a little strange to say relax. You could have said nothing right there.
Robert Kelly
Okay, well, I. We can. We can re edit it and.
Jim Florentine
Why did you have to. Why did you have to rub your
Robert Kelly
shoulders such a Goddamn. You know.
Jim Florentine
Why did you have to rub your shoulders such.
Robert Kelly
Right here. You're such a. You're looking at it like it's a script. It's. It's just a sexy thing. All the things that I like being
Jim Florentine
washed, but it's so. But the. You know, the sad part is that she knows you think it's like a real classy gentleman's thing. I'm gonna light your cigar. You're like, oh, I did. I'm in the upper echelon.
Robert Kelly
Hearing him read it, too, it made me. It made me. It made me a little sad, too. She goes, so next time you're sad. All right, whatever. I'm not sad. I just wanted a tip pick and some sexy talk. I'm pretty happy with my life. You don't get that stuff at all. No, Damn. Nothing.
Jim Florentine
I mean, I got all that stuff.
Robert Kelly
You don't even check your emails.
Jim Florentine
No, I don't, but. But I used to get it back along, you know, before email.
Robert Kelly
You got it.
Jim Florentine
We used to had pictures when I was on MTV and stuff. You know, girls were just.
Robert Kelly
You got letters. I got letters with wax on it, with a stamp.
Jim Florentine
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
You want to open up like the Constitution. Hear ye, hear ye. I will milk thee and suck all the balls.
Jim Florentine
What's actually send Polaroids.
Robert Kelly
Oh, Polaroids. Remember Polaroids? Oh, my God, did I love a Polaroid.
Jim Florentine
It's great.
Robert Kelly
It's the best.
Jim Florentine
Because they can't. They don't want it to be. There's no trace. It's just. Take a Polaroid and that's. It was done.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, the Polaroids were the best because those are the ones you hid. Yeah, I told you. One of the biggest fights me and Don ever got into is we were sitting down, eating dinner when I lived on 47th Street. And I don't know, there was something. We got in a. Some stupid fight. Me, all me.
Jim Florentine
Maybe the fight was over the fact that he didn't say we lived on 47th Street.
Robert Kelly
It was a point when she was paying half the bills. You're right. Touche. When we lived on 47th street and we got into a big fight. I don't know about me. I don't know. Something. Some stupid. Some dumb argument that I. It was all me, 100% me. And I flipped the plate. I used to be a plate flipper, right? And that was my, you know, fucking De Niro.
Jim Florentine
What the.
Robert Kelly
You ruined your birthday steak. And I did that. And dawn does not get mad. She does not flip out at all. But when she does, it's devastating because she holds. She holds ammunition. So things that happen, she'll take it and hold it and store it.
Jim Florentine
Of course, that's what women do. Of course. They all do with that.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, it's. It's. It's. You do that too. Do you have stuff. You always do. You have stuff you can, like, bring up in a.
Jim Florentine
No, Only women do.
Robert Kelly
Guys don't. We get it out right then and there. Yeah. We flip something there and it all comes out. Women hold tickets.
Jim Florentine
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
They hold ammunition. And they calmly take it and take it and take it, just holding it in, taking notes. And apparently I said something to her. Oh, you know what it was about? I thought. I thought she was cheating on me with somebody. I thought she was cheating on me with somebody. And I lightly asked her about it. I thought she was. This is so up. I thought it was. She was cheating on me with the old. The old superintendent of our building, the Spanish dude. And I, I. They were friendly. What are you laughing at? You're projecting.
Jim Florentine
Like the super.
Robert Kelly
That laugh really stings. Once in a while she lays it in, right? It can be fun, and then it can really hurt. I never. I never knew that laugh was a weapon. No, So I. I just brought it up like, hey, so. So what do you. You, You. You like this guy? And she got so mad at me.
Paco
She.
Robert Kelly
And I was. We started fighting. I flipped the. I go, the meatloaf or some like that. She goes, oh, yeah. And right when she said, oh, yeah, I knew she was going to. She went to get something. I'm like, oh, fuck me. She found something.
Christine
Oh.
Robert Kelly
And she went into my Alcoholics Anonymous big book where I stored my Polaroids from over the years of, you know, my little. You know, not now, but back then. You know what I mean? Like, old. You really don't want to throw those out, because God forbid somebody finds them and they're out in the public somewhere. So you got to kind of hold on to. I'm doing a service that's absolutely. Thank you.
Jim Florentine
You like the Smithsonian?
Robert Kelly
Exactly, exactly. I'm the Smithsonian for tits and ass. So that. So you know what I mean? I don't want. You can't just throw that out. It could get fined up in the wrong hands.
Jim Florentine
That's true.
Robert Kelly
So I. I held on to it. I put it in my big book, and she went right over to my big book. As soon as she grabbed it, I was like, oh, boy, she's not going to read me a passage about acceptance or letting go. She grabbed it. She goes, what are these? And she threw them on the table. And the first thought was like, fuck, now I'm gonna have to throw these out. I was like, God damn it. I really like these ones. These are from a long time ago. And I really use these every once in a while to hook up with old Wendy. Old Wendy from Boston. And I was like, those are from a long time ago. And she's like, and. And I. And I. I took them and I threw them in the trash. I don't give a. About these. Oh, did I give a fuck about those. And I remember she's so spiteful. She went over and tied the garbage up and. And took it down to the fucking trash. She knew exactly what she was doing. Oh, the Polaroids were the shit.
Jim Florentine
Now if she had had to leave and go out that day to go to work, would you have gone in that garbage and ripped it open like
Robert Kelly
there was a golden ticket from Willy Wonka in that trash? When I went through that, like a rat. God, do I miss those photos. Oh, there was such good ones. They weren't. They weren't too. They weren't too graphic.
Jim Florentine
No, they were just. Brought back memories.
Robert Kelly
They were for me too. Like, she took them for me years before I even knew. Well, you know, we knew each other, but not. Shut up, Christine. I gotta get this fucking timing. Right before your rebirth, I did have
Christine
a.
Robert Kelly
I had a. Oh, off.
Jim Florentine
Shut up.
Robert Kelly
I. I had.
Jim Florentine
Just shut up and move on.
Robert Kelly
I bet you have those Polaroids. You did go through the trash. I did. I couldn't find them. Some has them now. Yeah, I missed that. Now it's. I remember I got. That's one of the things I got caught with, was when the phones got photos and video. I was the first one to have videos and phone on the. I had the first video phone, the flip phone. It had video on it. And I remember I had video on my phone of some stuff. And I remember I. Oh, God, it was so bad. You remember this? You're the one who saved my life. You saved my. I have a marriage and a son now because of you. Because you're the only friend I have that's not a piece of shit. This doesn't even. You don't even remember it in the cab? What?
Jim Florentine
Talking in the cab?
Robert Kelly
No.
Paco
No.
Robert Kelly
What, you don't remember this fucking moment? This is like one of the biggest moments of my life.
Jim Florentine
Which one? Tell me. Get. Give me more detail. You're in the middle of reminiscing when
Robert Kelly
I got caught cheating.
Jim Florentine
Okay, we had a conversation.
Robert Kelly
Apparently it didn't affect you as much as it affected me.
Jim Florentine
Well, was it just a conversation?
Robert Kelly
No, I got caught with. I left my phone at the Cellar and Dawn had called, was calling me, and I wasn't picking up, so she called the seller. Heather, the waitress picked up and she. Don was like, who's this? She picked up my phone. My phone was ringing behind the bar, right? Heather picked it up. Oh, God. Dumb move. She picked it up and goes, oh, he's not here. He left a while ago. Fucking asshole. Oh, Don goes, I'll be right there. Oh, she went, fuck you. She went down and got the phone and. And there was some stuff on there. Some stuff. Not recent stuff, but stuff. And then I came home late, which I did, and the door was locked. And then I heard the elevator go Ding. And it was Dawn. Had my phone, my iPad, my computer, my. Had all of my gadgets with stuff on it. And she was crying.
Christine
Wow.
Robert Kelly
She was crying. She's like, you're. I'll never forget it. Because she found all my stuff. Even the one that was in taxes 2006 file, which, which is so stupid for me to do. I've never done the test. You know what I mean? I should have put it in Call of Duty file, right? Or something stupid. I put it in a math folder.
Jim Florentine
Because you're thinking the way you would think if you saw a taxes thing. Like, I'm looking at that thing.
Robert Kelly
Oh, exactly. Exactly. I put it in something I wouldn't look at.
Jim Florentine
Yes.
Robert Kelly
Not something she wouldn't look at. You know what I mean? I should have put it in push ups. Workout regimens.
Jim Florentine
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
Yeah. I'll never forget what she said. She was crying and I was like. When I saw her with all my stuff. And she goes, you're a serial killer. You're like a serial killer. And I was like. And then we went in and we talked and we cried and blah, blah, blah. And she was like, you know, you have to get help. If you don't get help, I got. I'm leaving. And then I called every one of my friends and I said to her, I go, I, I. She goes, what do you want to do? I go, I don't know yet. I have to really. If I'm going to do this, I have to make the decision. And she went, all right. I go, give me two days. And I called Patrice. He said, you're a piece of. Let her go. I called Dane, dude, let her go. You're a hunk of garbage, Norton. Let her go, Voss. Doug. Let her get somebody. She deserves every single friend except for you. You said, try to get help. Try to work it out. Give yourself eight months. If in eight months you're still a piece of. And you can't do it, let her go. But if you don't, you'll regret it for the rest of your life. And I did. And I got. I went to therapy. That was the first time I went to therapy.
Jim Florentine
That was the first time you went to therapy.
Robert Kelly
I went to therapy right then for that.
Jim Florentine
Was that Alan?
Robert Kelly
That was not Alan. I went to the ball guy with two lion dogs. That used to scare the out of me. And every. Every therapy session, he had two dogs like lions next to him. And they do this.
Jim Florentine
What?
Robert Kelly
And you go, it's okay there. It's okay. And I'd Be like, it's not okay. I'm terrified. I'm fucking terrified to be like, it's okay. I'm like, I don't. Whatever this is, I don't. Like, wow. And then I wound up leaving him those. He had two of those. What are those called? Chow Chows. They have blue tongues. It's the most frightening fucking dog. And then the growl and their tongue comes out and it's like, blue.
Jim Florentine
That's iconic.
Robert Kelly
Two of them. Fucking not one. 2. In every therapy session, I would go, and he had a bow tie, too. He had a bow tie ball. He was a complete douchebag. And he was 250 a session. And I had that. That's when I left him. And I got Alan. I got Alan. And then, you know, my first time I was in with Alan, he go. You know, I sat down and I go, listen, you're not making me into a fucking gay boy. He goes, you're already gay. You're here. Real men don't go to therapy. I was like, this is the guy for me. This guy knows exactly who I am.
Jim Florentine
Did I tell you about my friend that had.
Robert Kelly
You don't remember saying that to me?
Jim Florentine
I remember, yes. I thought you were sure about some big incident. I remember talking to you about this stuff.
Robert Kelly
Of course, that was a huge incident,
Jim Florentine
but I'm saying it was a conversation. You were acting like it was some other, like, thing.
Robert Kelly
I mean, you gave me some of the greatest advice I've ever had in my life.
Jim Florentine
I'm glad. What about my friend?
Robert Kelly
What about my friend? It sucks to me that when you live through something, your version is always different than the other person's version.
Christine
Like, mean as much to him.
Robert Kelly
We saved us one of his closest friends. I mean, we have Max because of him.
Christine
Not from a drowning, not from a car in a river. He just gave you a talk.
Robert Kelly
Yeah. When all my other friends.
Jim Florentine
Wait a minute. I'm saying, instead of saying a car drowning, why don't you say, not from a vacation?
Robert Kelly
Because I'm a hero.
Jim Florentine
But let me tell you about my friend who was 8, who went to a therapist, who reminds me of the guy with the caught dogs. My friend went to this guy who's actually I heard more about lately, but he was a retired cop and it was, you know, a reformed, like, wild, crazy cop. But he sat there and my friend sat. And every time the guy crosses legs, his ankle holster with his gun would show.
Robert Kelly
That's worse than dogs. I might have to quit therapy, man. It's getting too Expensive?
Jim Florentine
What do you mean?
Robert Kelly
My insurance, it's. It's too much. I might have to go to Better Help. What's our. What's our code? Bonfire. I might have to go to Better Help for some therapy. It's too expensive. I can't afford it. It's like 300 bucks a session now.
Jim Florentine
Is this commercial?
Robert Kelly
No, it's not a commercial.
Jim Florentine
Well, I just feel like kind of, you know, it came out of nowhere.
Robert Kelly
Well, I'm gonna talk about therapy, and I might have to quit. You go to therapy?
Jim Florentine
No.
Robert Kelly
You don't go to therapy? I'm sorry for saying it like that. I said a little shocking.
Jim Florentine
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
You don't go to therapy at all?
Jim Florentine
No.
Robert Kelly
Why? You don't believe in it? What?
Jim Florentine
How many conversations we have. You know, I went to therapy for a long, long time.
Robert Kelly
So you quit? Why?
Jim Florentine
You acted? No, I told you. My. My guy retired.
Robert Kelly
That's old.
Jim Florentine
What?
Robert Kelly
That's. That's crazy.
Jim Florentine
Yeah, that. You guys, he was an old guy.
Robert Kelly
Was he old? Well, Alan's older, too. He's gonna retire.
Jim Florentine
He's never gonna retire.
Robert Kelly
There's gonna be a. There's gonna be a bunch of unhealthy comedians in New York in a few years. And he takes. He takes August off, which bugs me. Takes the whole.
Jim Florentine
They all take August.
Robert Kelly
What is that?
Jim Florentine
That's just their thing. I don't know. Why.
Robert Kelly
Is it a therapist thing or is it.
Jim Florentine
Didn't ever see that movie. What About Bob with Richard Dreyfus and. And Bill Murray?
Robert Kelly
One of my favorite movies of all time.
Jim Florentine
There was August. Remember? He took August off, and Bill Murray goes and stalks him.
Robert Kelly
You know where he went to, right? Lake Winnipesaukee.
Jim Florentine
Was that.
Robert Kelly
That's where I live. That's where my house is Up. That's where they shot that lake region. Yeah, Lake Winnipesaukee.
Jim Florentine
And then Richard Dreyfus, years later, said he hated Bill Murray.
Robert Kelly
Hated his guts.
Jim Florentine
He said he was an Irish drunken bully.
Robert Kelly
He was an Irish. And they hated each other. And all the hate in the movie is real hate. The director loved it because they really. He really hated Bill Murray. A lot of people hate Bill Murray, too, by the way.
Jim Florentine
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, he sounds like a piece of shit. So I never want to meet him because I love him so much. What are you gonna say, Jay?
Jim Florentine
So funny.
Christine
Well, I'm saying I know you. It's important to work on yourself, but you're. Is there not an end date to therapy?
Jim Florentine
Like.
Christine
You guys are talking like, you. You only stop because your guy Retired.
Jim Florentine
I was talking my. I didn't stop. He stopped, right?
Christine
You would have continued.
Jim Florentine
I gave me one day. He's like, I'll catch you later.
Christine
I'm like, so you're cured. You basically just gotta say, I guess I've had enough.
Jim Florentine
You'll be all right.
Robert Kelly
My therapist called me a lifer.
Christine
Do you. Doesn't that mean you're.
Robert Kelly
I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. He just says, I'm a lifer. Like, I'll always be.
Christine
Doesn't seem good.
Robert Kelly
I guess it doesn't seem good when you look at it like that, but.
Jim Florentine
Well, it's. Yeah. There's different arguments about therapy. Some people say what you're saying, which is like, there should be an end date. They should come to the end of the problems. And some people say, well, you know, obviously, if we're. If we're in there, we're not. You're not going to get cured. You're just going to. You know, as it goes along, you just keep. I mean, do you really get cured of anything? If you think about it, you can
Robert Kelly
get cured of aids. Aids. Get cured of aids, cancer, hopefully.
Christine
But, I mean, I hear about, like, Howard Stern. He has, like, a lifelong therapist, but he's been in for, like, 30 years or something like that.
Robert Kelly
He does meditation, too. He does. What's it called?
Jim Florentine
Tm.
Robert Kelly
He does TM meditation. And so do you.
Jim Florentine
Oh, no, I don't do it anymore.
Robert Kelly
You. You do it. And when you do tm, I don't know if you know this, but you get a word. It's called a mantra. A mantra. You get a mantra. And I wanted to do tm, Jacob. It's a funny story. I wanted to do tm, but I didn't have enough money to pay for the TM and get your mantra. So I just called my friend Colin Quinn, who did. Was doing tm, had a mantra, and I said, hey, can I just have your mantra? And he said, no.
Jim Florentine
I said, of course not. That's not how it works.
Robert Kelly
Why can't I have your mantra?
Jim Florentine
Because TM is not. You don't pass them. First of all, they would only get paid wipe. One person and everybody else uses the same mantra. Second of all, you have to sit there for three days. You have to bring the guy in orange and an apple.
Robert Kelly
Why?
Jim Florentine
They don't tell you why. But if you don't show up with it, they send you home. How do I know that? Because one of my nephews went, he's like, I'm gonna bring an orange apple. Guy goes, go home.
Robert Kelly
Come back tomorrow with an orange and an apple.
Jim Florentine
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
So you went in, got your. Gave your orange and apple three days.
Jim Florentine
I only do it one day. I think the orange and apple, if I remember correctly. And then they give you a mantra. But you can't be passing out to people that haven't paid.
Robert Kelly
Why? But I'm your friend.
Jim Florentine
It's not the way it works.
Robert Kelly
You're not.
Jim Florentine
I'm not sneaking you into the goddamn club that I'm bartending at. This is about serious tm.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, but you don't even do it anymore.
Jim Florentine
No, I stopped.
Christine
What is a.
Jim Florentine
Well, let me just tell you the. What is a mantra. Don't try to trick me into giving it to you.
Christine
Is it just a real. Like a phrase?
Ad/Promo Voice
It's like a.
Jim Florentine
Well, it's like a word. Like what?
Robert Kelly
Giving us an example. Give us an example.
Jim Florentine
Acorn. Only it's not a word in English. It's a. It's a word in like. Like what, Sanskrit or something.
Robert Kelly
So what would it be?
Jim Florentine
I'm not going to fall for this. Let me just tell you the. The funniest of all therapy things was Rich Jenny Rip, who had a routine where he goes, people say I need therapy. Obviously, because people say, I need therapy. He killed himself. He was very funny to me, but he goes, people say I need therapy. He goes, my only problem with therapy is Woody Allen, who I assume went to the top therapists in the world for his whole. For 40 years. The most prestigious therapist every week for 40 years, and he goes, and the best he came up with is my Asian stepdaughter. Starting to look pretty good.
Robert Kelly
I think I'm gonna quit therapy.
Jim Florentine
What's that?
Robert Kelly
I think I'm gonna quit therapy.
Jim Florentine
Why? Because of today?
Robert Kelly
Maybe today. I think I'm done. I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go TM and get my own mantra because you won't give me yours.
Jim Florentine
But I stopped doing tm. I think there.
Robert Kelly
So give me your mantra.
Jim Florentine
No.
Robert Kelly
You're not going to use it?
Jim Florentine
No. You still can't. I just can't do it.
Robert Kelly
Is that. Is that actually a rule or is that you just being you?
Jim Florentine
No, it's a rule. There's a rule.
Robert Kelly
You can never give your mantra.
Jim Florentine
If you give out the mantra, it disintegrates.
Robert Kelly
Into what?
Jim Florentine
Into the atmosphere. Into the.
Christine
But, Colin, do you just keep repeating, like, acorn, acorn. What are you supposed to do?
Jim Florentine
No, here's what you're supposed to do. You're supposed to let your thoughts. I can't believe I'm giving a free. A free seminar. But you know what? Maybe somebody out there will use it.
Robert Kelly
Maybe some may be helping people right now.
Jim Florentine
So you're supposed to. What you're supposed to do is supposed to. You're not supposed to be like, I have to make my mind blank. That's what the suckers do. TM is not for suckers. Tm. If you're thinking about something that's aggravating you, you're like, I keep. I'm not gonna control my thoughts, but I'm going to breathe and keep going back to my breath. And how am I going to keep focusing on my breath? With my mantra.
Robert Kelly
So you. So you say acorn, right? Whatever yours. Did you know what yours was in English?
Jim Florentine
No, I don't think it is in English.
Robert Kelly
So you're the question. So you don't know what it is in English. You just know the word in whatever it is?
Jim Florentine
Yeah, I never bothered to research what it meant. I probably should have.
Robert Kelly
So it's just a word. Is it one word? Is it like, how many mines is one word? How many syllables?
Jim Florentine
That's classified.
Robert Kelly
Come on, dude, just give me a syllable. Is it one syllable that's classified? Come on, dude, just give me a mantra.
Jim Florentine
It's a few. It's a few syllables.
Robert Kelly
It's a few syllables. So it's like laka wakataka.
Jim Florentine
Well, you know, if you're gonna mock the famous. The ancient Sanskrit language, you're not a fitting candidate for tm. I'm glad you're not part of our community.
Robert Kelly
Well, you're not even part of it anymore.
Jim Florentine
I am part of it.
Robert Kelly
Here's. You're not part of it.
Jim Florentine
I am part.
Robert Kelly
You can go back whenever you want.
Jim Florentine
I don't know.
Robert Kelly
I don't think he can't. You know none of the rules about fucking tm.
Jim Florentine
No, go back.
Christine
Can't. Don't you just do it on your own?
Jim Florentine
You do do it on your own, but he. He's right in the sense that if I went to a tm, they have conferences. If I showed up and I haven't done it in five years. And the sad part was I was doing. It's a pain in the ass to do. You have to do 20 minutes twice a day. I mean, it's a real. It's a Y.
Robert Kelly
That's like. It's like especially coming from Catholic. Once a week. Yeah, 45 minutes, get some bread, say, I'm Sorry. And you're out. Yeah. Catholics got it made. We really. We really stream around.
Jim Florentine
I know. Why do we stray?
Robert Kelly
Why do we stray from what?
Jim Florentine
Catholicism?
Robert Kelly
I don't think we strayed. We just stopped. We stopped bringing our kids to church.
Jim Florentine
We. That's called straying.
Robert Kelly
Well, we didn't.
Jim Florentine
What's your definition of straight? Yeah. The generation before us that strayed.
Robert Kelly
It was the one that strayed. Yeah. And Catholic was so easy.
Jim Florentine
To be Catholic was much easier. But they said they lost it when they changed. When they got rid of the Latin Mass. Even though you think the Latin Mass would actually make it less interesting. It made it more interesting.
Robert Kelly
I have another theory, too. I think that is one of the things. And then when they're making our kids suck their dicks. That was another.
Jim Florentine
Yeah, but that was. That always went on. I mean, that was a constant.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, but we found out about it. It's almost like, you know, I feel like people. It's almost like gays in the military for a while. You know, don't ask, don't tell.
Jim Florentine
But most. And I always. I always defend the priests because I feel like they weren't. Yes, there's charmless in every organization, like Boy Scouts, like pre. You know, there's always. They always move in that direction. But most of those priests are just gay guys. When they were growing up, yeah. People couldn't say, my son's gay and like, my son's gonna be a priest. And then suddenly they'd be like, I guess I'm gonna be a priest. So now you're 14. They send you to, you know, to cathedral or one of these seminaries. And you're 14. Semenary. And you're 14, and you started to feel sexuality. And you associated with the church of Catholicism. And you're around these other guys that are also going through the same thing. Things are going to happen. It jumps off then, but is, wait, I'll finish it, I'll. The final thing is then you go back into your parish and suddenly you see a bunch of other 15, 14 year old boys standing there. The age you are when you were told, priest, God, church, sexuality, all combined in your head. So you'll feel like you connect with them in a way you. You shouldn't connect with them.
Robert Kelly
You really thought this through?
Jim Florentine
I really did.
Robert Kelly
Holy. It was uncomfortable.
Jim Florentine
Yeah, it was.
Robert Kelly
That almost sounds like you thought that through, like why you're gay. What the. Dude, that was. That was really personal.
Jim Florentine
I feel like I really summed it up.
Robert Kelly
Christine always leaves when we talk about Religion and God. She's gonna get out of here. Well, why. But why don't they let priests just have sex?
Jim Florentine
Yeah, I know.
Robert Kelly
Just if you look.
Jim Florentine
Because when it started, they were banging all the. They would go around like, you know, to Thessalonia and Galatia and bang all the women. So they're putting a bad word in.
Robert Kelly
That's why I love Colin. He just said. We all just nod our head like we knew what the. He's talking about.
Jim Florentine
Well, like, you know, Corinthian Paul's living. They travel to these places.
Robert Kelly
It's just a guy from Brooklyn with your accent in your face saying these words and actually knowing what they is shocking to everybody listening. And in the room, it's like the
Jim Florentine
old and so the. But anyway, so they. Apparently they were going out and just, you know, women would be getting filled with the spirit of like, oh, my God, Jesus.
Robert Kelly
The word of God, like, the spirit. All right.
Jim Florentine
And then those guys would take advantage of it and start banging them. Of course, you know.
Robert Kelly
Know. Yeah, but they were banging women at least, right? Right.
Jim Florentine
Whoa.
Robert Kelly
What? Well, at least having.
Jim Florentine
Whoa.
Robert Kelly
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Paco
So.
Robert Kelly
So your theory is that kids were gay and instead of having a gay kid, make him a priest.
Jim Florentine
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
And then when he becomes a priest, he's around kids that were gay when he was gay and he finds them. He's relating to them as they were.
Jim Florentine
Yeah. Because they. They wouldn't just. They wouldn't just let them be gay in those days. They'd be like. I mean, people still get weirded out, but I mean. But in those days, I would just. It wasn't even a thought in people's heads, you know?
Robert Kelly
Yeah. I just think they should let priests get married. Get married and have. You know what I mean? That way if. Now, especially when your kid's gay, they can just be gay now. You don't have to make them a priest.
Jim Florentine
Well, I always felt. I always said that the church itself would not be the beautiful. When you walk into church, a straight guy could not have done the interior design on the church. That was gay guys. It was gay exterior. The gargoyles is a straight guy. The stone work.
Robert Kelly
Yeah. But it frames inside. Yes. The framing, the velvets, the candle.
Jim Florentine
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
Candles are all gay guys.
Jim Florentine
Yeah. The beautiful dark reds and the. Just everything about us.
Robert Kelly
It's fun. It's so funny because when, like, I've known. I told you. I know three priests that were gay. Yeah, but they never say they're gay.
Jim Florentine
No, they never.
Robert Kelly
They can't when I was in rehab, the overnight priest that was there, big chubby fat guy, he used to have his priest outfit on. He used to pull it up, like, over his belly button.
Jim Florentine
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
I think what we call that last week, the. The hemisphere. He used to take it over the hemisphere of your fatness. Right. Used to make the equator and. But 100% he's gay. The first night there, he's like, hello, Robert. You know, I mean, you can't have that voice.
Jim Florentine
I know. It's. It's. It's really tragic.
Robert Kelly
You can't kill the Catholic church, which
Jim Florentine
could have been a good, great organization.
Robert Kelly
Right. And then my priest, who I did my fourth step with, at the end of my fourth step, he kissed me on the neck. But he kissed me like, on the neck. A soft kiss. And then pulled, like, left it and pulled it there and ruined the whole day for me because I was like, God, Jesus. I was just molested. I was just molested. At 19. I would have been into this when I was 13 or 12.
Jim Florentine
Right.
Robert Kelly
Could have saved me from drugs and alcohol. I could have just became that guy. And I could have became an artist and went to the theater much earlier. Oh, yes. We got to take a break. The great Colin Quinn is here. Don't forget, Jay is out and he's at the Netflix's jokes festival with all the other comedians in the world. But we're not. Jay's out there this week. He's in Los Angeles doing story wars this week. He'll be back headline in Austin Memorial Day weekend for tickets and all tour dates go to bigjcomedy.com and we got the great Colin Quinn in here. Colin, what do you promote? We got. Colin wrote a new immersive. Wow, what a word. Immersive Showcase building. And it's called building. What? What is it?
Jim Florentine
We'll get into it when we get back.
Robert Kelly
All right? We'll get into it. Well, he's going to be producing the pioneer works in Red hook this summer, July 8th through the 11th with Vinnie Piazzi, Jesus mob funded. And Catherine Narducci. Oh, that sounds, like, weird. I know where you get. You didn't get the money for office Seinfeld this time, did you? You had to go back to your old neighborhood. Skank fest. Tickets are available right now, so make sure you go there skankfest.com and make sure you check at the end with Ari Shafir. Go to punchup live for all my dates. I'm gonna be doing a special thing in Boston this week. And after that I'm in Cleveland. We'll be right back. It's the bonfire.
Doug
And, Doug, there's nowhere I wouldn't go to help someone customize and save on car insurance with Liberty Mutual. Even if it means sitting front row at a comedy show.
Christine

Doug
Oh, no. We help people customize and save on car insurance with Liberty Mutual together. We're married. Me to a human, him to a bird.

SiriusXM Faction Talk, May 12, 2026
Guests: Colin Quinn (filling in for Big Jay Oakerson), Jim Florentine
Hosted by: Robert Kelly
This episode of The Bonfire features Robert Kelly joined by veteran comedian Colin Quinn (filling in for Big Jay Oakerson), and fellow comic Jim Florentine. The group delivers their signature blend of irreverent, unfiltered humor, diving into behind-the-scenes comedian stories, the changing comedy scene, sexual misadventures, social media interactions, therapy, and the quirks of Catholicism. Their conversational style, marked by playful barbs and confessional honesty, is on full display, with stand-out moments ranging from private fan messages to insights on comedy culture and religious upbringings.
On Nostalgia & Simpler Times:
“This is what Trump wants to get back to — I played this over and over when I was a kid on cassette.”
— Robert Kelly, [02:54]
On the comedy festival FOMO:
“There’s a lot of comics. There’s actually people who aren’t comics that are doing comedy at the festival.”
— Robert Kelly, [10:45]
On male comic friendships:
“That laugh really stings…Once in a while she lays it in, right? It can be fun, and then it can really hurt.”
— Robert Kelly, [37:50]
Fan Message Reading with Paco:
Paco: “Milk you. I think you’re so sexy. I want…to put all your balls in my mouth.”
— Paco reading, [18:16]
Jim Florentine: “How many you have?”
— [18:29]
Robert Kelly: “She could have said one and I would have been like, what about the other one?”
— [18:33]
On “Milking” as a Fetish:
“Milking is when you’re on all fours and they reach from behind…like you milk a cow. That comes from my fat days.”
— Robert Kelly, [25:39]
Therapy and Lifer Status:
“My therapist called me a lifer.”
— Robert Kelly, [50:03]
On Catholic priests:
“A straight guy could not have done the interior design on the church. That was gay guys…candles are all gay guys.”
— Colin Quinn, [60:02 & 60:24]
Raw, brutally self-deprecating, full of inside jokes and absolute honesty—these comics speak in a way that’s both revealing and utterly unserious. Their camaraderie, willingness to admit uncomfortable truths, and relentless roasting of each other and themselves makes this episode especially rich for fans of stand-up, backstage gossip, and the darker edges of adulthood.
This episode stands out as a comedic confessional, with Robert Kelly and Colin Quinn riffing freely across topics from comedy industry inside-baseball to sexual fetishes and Catholic upbringing. For regular listeners, this is The Bonfire at its most authentic—no sacred cows, no awkward silences, and no subject too taboo if it serves the laugh.
