Kaitlyn Palufo
Rolling. Wow, that was so quick. Is this water?
Bobby Kelly
Yes. Take some water. Nice. Ready? Whoa.
Usama Siddiqui
Holy. Yeah. What's the. They're not practical.
Kaitlyn Palufo
No, not at all. I need a man.
Greg
Is that jealous?
Usama Siddiqui
Feels nice to be needed. Welcome to We Might Be Drunk Here with Usama Siddiqui and Kaitlyn Palufo, fresh off funny AF on Netflix.
Bobby Kelly
Hello. Just signed up for season two.
Greg
Crazy.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Yes. Yeah.
Greg
And you have to tag somebody to get into the show now.
Kaitlyn Palufo
It's not a real thing.
Usama Siddiqui
You have to what?
Greg
Dude, it was this weird thing, so we did the show. I don't. They didn't tell us about this at all. They had this thing like tag. They had a post on Instagram, tag a friend who thinks who would be good at the show. Oh, and here comes all the homeless weirdos. I'm good. I can do it.
Bobby Kelly
Right, Right.
Kaitlyn Palufo
And it's not even like that account isn't associated with the show. It's a fan.
Bobby Kelly
Oh, really?
Greg
It was a random post out of nowhere. But then, remember those comic strip lottery days where you'd see comics come out the ground? Like, where were you for three years that was going on? I was like, who are these people tagging who?
Usama Siddiqui
I remember when I finally got my comic strip opportunity, it's like I drew sixth on the show. So you were like, at the end of a three hour show and then five amateurs are going on before me. And I was like, fuck, all right, I hope I can just make it to the end. Whatever. Hope the crowd stays. The crowd stays like 80 people. And I'm like, all right, thank God. The guy before me has a full on nervous breakdown on stage. Like, he just starts going, oh, fuck, I'm bombing. I'm bad at this. He has a full on freakout and he goes, oh, fuck, I suck. And I'm like, just get off stage. He walks. I want to say, like, all but 12 people. And I had to go up for 12 people. And it went like, how well can you do for 12? But it went just enough. The owner's like, yeah, you didn't look like scared up there, so I'm passing you. There was a low bar after a guy nearly shits himself. Before you.
Bobby Kelly
I believe Venter went on before you.
Greg
I was just going to do that joke.
Bobby Kelly
Was it.
Greg
Was he rich? I remember, rest in peace. He was like, you're very funny. You're very good. Can't use you say that. Was it just all compliments at the end? We already have a brown guy with the weird Eye.
Usama Siddiqui
Yeah.
Kaitlyn Palufo
I think he already had a girl.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah, one.
Usama Siddiqui
One. They were like stuck in the past for sure.
Bobby Kelly
Come here.
Usama Siddiqui
We used to manage Eddie Murphy. You're like, oh, you've told this story 400 times tonight.
Bobby Kelly
If you walked in with two pies, they would have hired you. Like, that's comedy, dude.
Greg
They still have the little open mic list right? Where they have like Seinfeld's name, Eddie Murphy's name.
Bobby Kelly
Oh, that's right.
Greg
That's cool. I like them.
Usama Siddiqui
No, the headshots. The old headshots in clubs.
Bobby Kelly
Amazing.
Usama Siddiqui
It is cool. I think it's very cool because you're killing. I mean, it's kind of like a museum in a way, you know?
Bobby Kelly
Yeah, yeah. The coolest is Zany's in Chicago has Ellen. A handwritten letter from Ellen. Jerry Seinfeld gave me your address. I'd love to work your club. I'm not gay yet. Yeah, something like that.
Greg
Really Call us back when you're gay.
Usama Siddiqui
It doesn't sell you.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah, but yeah, speak of crazies. I did the last comic standing wait in line. Like the open casting call. Holy. That's crazy. The ghouls and goblins in that line. I mean, it was like a guy dressed as Batman. He's a magician. It was Judy Gold. Yeah.
Greg
It was all the same person, dude. They had more of a vetting process for that one. This show was not. You have to do like a questionnaire, checks.
Bobby Kelly
We had to meet psych eval.
Usama Siddiqui
What kind of background check are we talking?
Greg
I mean like a full Criminal.
Steve
Criminal.
Kaitlyn Palufo
We also went through our Instagram and everything to make sure that we weren't saying like crazy.
Greg
Yeah.
Bobby Kelly
Whoa.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Social media.
Bobby Kelly
So Cosby couldn't get in?
Usama Siddiqui
No.
Bobby Kelly
Which is kind of a shame. I'd love to see him do a set.
Greg
The first round, low key.
Usama Siddiqui
I mean, she's like, I'm trying to come back.
Greg
I love the young people.
Bobby Kelly
Out of all the shows like this, there's been a million of these. Competition show. This was definitely the most well done.
Usama Siddiqui
Yeah, it's so nice. It's not NBC either that you can actually curse. Cuz we know how hard it is. You go round around and you're on that show.
Bobby Kelly
That's good point.
Greg
The first word you said was smegma. I think I said
Usama Siddiqui
m. Check.
Steve
Yeah, yeah,
Usama Siddiqui
that's. But it's so hard. I remember on NBC back in the day, we're like, oh my God. Like, I mean, we've done a ton of late night sets, but they had a. They Were stricter than Late Night. Because they're like, this is on to, like, eight.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah.
Greg
Because y' all came in up in it, like, right before us, where it was like, last comic standing was that thing for y'.
Bobby Kelly
All.
Greg
And also, this is like a Netflix thing, so people could watch it after it's done. So I'm getting people now being like, I watched it last week, which is not going to happen for.
Usama Siddiqui
Are people still watching?
Greg
Yeah, yeah.
Kaitlyn Palufo
People come up to me. They're like, don't tell me how it end. And I was like, I didn't win.
Bobby Kelly
Relax. But, yeah, I did a show with you, what, two weeks ago at the Union Square Park. You got a huge pop.
Greg
Yeah.
Bobby Kelly
So people are watching it.
Kaitlyn Palufo
People are watching it. People are sweet.
Greg
People are very nice.
Kaitlyn Palufo
I haven't gotten a lot of hate. I got a lot of. I get a lot of dms, and
Bobby Kelly
they're usually like, I sit on my face.
Usama Siddiqui
But yeah, yeah.
Bobby Kelly
And I. I was drinking at the time.
Kaitlyn Palufo
But the rest of them are, like, very nice. They're like, oh, we. We enjoyed you very much. And I was like, this never happens.
Bobby Kelly
Great.
Usama Siddiqui
Wow.
Bobby Kelly
Great.
Kaitlyn Palufo
It's usually, women shouldn't vote.
Greg
And, well, they could think that. And also pretty funny out there, I think. Like, I'm not sure if y' all had this, like, when you. After the show was a demographic crazy. Like, I'm getting, like, random white dude incels. We're talking, like, abuelita grandmas, you know?
Kaitlyn Palufo
I swear to God, my audience looks like just a UN meeting.
Greg
It's crazy. It's really crazy. And we knew each other for a long time. We're friends for a long time going in. So I don't know if y' all had the same thing where y' all coming up with the rounds together with your friends.
Bobby Kelly
I didn't make it that far.
Usama Siddiqui
Yeah, me neither. I was gone pretty quickly.
Bobby Kelly
What?
Matt
Really?
Usama Siddiqui
We were out.
Bobby Kelly
Oh, they. They wanted. They wanted, like, a sitcom person. There were two guys, like, with 10 minutes on pedophilia.
Usama Siddiqui
Yeah. We have the personalities.
Greg
Yeah, I remember. With you. Didn't you talk back to it?
Usama Siddiqui
Yeah, I talked back to Keenan. That was my one cool moment. Is that. Is that Norm, after that, put his arm around me? He was like. Because we weren't supposed to cross paths, but Norm put his arm around me, and he was like, I like the. On him. So that was a cool moment.
Steve
But.
Usama Siddiqui
But I did go home that night,
Kaitlyn Palufo
so it was Keenan.
Usama Siddiqui
It was just like a quick zing back and forth. It wasn't like anything harsh. I made a joke about one of the scary movies.
Greg
Yeah.
Usama Siddiqui
But it wasn't that hard. I mean, but he. But yeah, they.
Greg
No, there was one. I remember this line because I was coming up as a comic. Dude, I'm seeing you on this episode, bro. It's a formative moment. This guy, I'm telling you right now, this guy. One of the judges was like, yeah. I don't know if you're a good guy or a bad guy or you're like, I don't know your style. And then Sam goes, so I'm what, a three dimensional person? And everyone laughs. And then I think they're like, get out of this show.
Usama Siddiqui
Yeah, something like that.
Greg
Do not have a good one on him, please.
Bobby Kelly
They don't want any pushback at all.
Usama Siddiqui
Not really, but it sounds like something I would say.
Greg
Yeah, it's very.
Usama Siddiqui
I think women have said that to me, dating. I've been like, so what?
Greg
I cheat. I don't cheat.
Usama Siddiqui
I'm keeping on your edge. It's a show, lady.
Greg
It's part of your journey.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah. You have a black guy. But I'm complex.
Usama Siddiqui
No, it was. It was a bad experience. And the thing, too, is, like, I did America's Got Talent, too, which was one thing around comic energy. You're on everyone's anxious energy.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah.
Usama Siddiqui
And you realize what a ruse it is what we do. When you're next to, like, dancers, they have to stretch. They have to stay warm. I can go up drunk, you know, but. But I'm like, you know, I'm texting my mom, like, oh, I'm freaking out. She goes, read a book. I'm like, there's two fat people from Atlantic City dancing mambo number five next to me. There's a bird squawking like. I can't just get lost in literature right now.
Steve
This is.
Usama Siddiqui
This is stressful.
Greg
When I was doing agt, I was about to go up and AGT is what I did. I did a Covid year, right?
Bobby Kelly
Pull it up.
Greg
Day before COVID started, right? So I'm in the stage. I don't know if it happened to you where, like, Terry Crews is there. I'm waiting. Leukemia guitarist is on stage or something, right? I'm freaking out, trying to get my set right. Terry Crews has to do, like, B roll now. So I'm trying to get my set ready. He comes up, he's like, what's your favorite day of the week? And I'm like, the most fearful, hard questions.
Usama Siddiqui
I like that.
Bobby Kelly
And you're like. He's like, if you're nervous, just watch porn. That's what I do. Yeah. He's addicted to porn.
Greg
It was truly insane.
Usama Siddiqui
Oh, my God.
Bobby Kelly
Oh, we found it. Oh, my God.
Greg
We can't watch this Stand up on the show.
Bobby Kelly
Oh, you better believe it, fatty.
Kaitlyn Palufo
This is the one where you called Heidi Klum a slut.
Greg
This is. This is the day before COVID Look at you.
Bobby Kelly
You're so cute.
Greg
I'm so young.
Bobby Kelly
28, 29.
Greg
Oh, my God. Skinny boy, no shoulders.
Bobby Kelly
Oh, you look like a guy being forced into England,
Greg
buddy.
Steve
I was.
Matt
This is.
Greg
This is right before COVID I looked like a straight up
Usama Siddiqui
mama. Oh, that's cute.
Greg
Oh, you guys just show stuff like this.
Bobby Kelly
This is crazy. This is the footage before the knife attack in London. Holy.
Greg
My mom. I love her. Love you, Mom.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Yeah. Mother is adorable.
Greg
We love my mom.
Bobby Kelly
Do you have a traditional sword?
Greg
My mom. I love my mom. Guys.
Bobby Kelly
Look at that.
Usama Siddiqui
Cute. How far did you make it on?
Greg
I was. I was quarterfinals.
Usama Siddiqui
I was.
Bobby Kelly
All right.
Greg
Is this an Oasis phase?
Bobby Kelly
What are you going through here?
Greg
I took her glasses. Oh, okay. No hate. No shade on Oasis.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah, yeah.
Usama Siddiqui
People love competitions. It would be awesome. It was just like Showcase, but it's like. Nope. They want. They want to root for someone.
Greg
They wouldn't watch the show if it was, like, funny people on a show.
Kaitlyn Palufo
I will say, this was the. I thought it was pretty close to a showcase because no one ever got, like, reamed, you know?
Bobby Kelly
Really?
Kaitlyn Palufo
The judges were never like, you're an idiot.
Greg
Chicago got a little reamed.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Well, Chicago. Well, yeah. Yeah.
Bobby Kelly
How so You.
Usama Siddiqui
You did shows in Chicago and la?
Greg
No, no, no. So we did the New York one. There's three cities. New York, la, Chicago, with the Chicag, the Kevin. They edited it where everyone's bombing.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Yeah.
Greg
And Kevin's so annoyed at the bombing that he changes up the rules of the show mid episode.
Bobby Kelly
What?
Greg
Y' all should watch this, but it's kind of interesting.
Kaitlyn Palufo
I'll be honest. I didn't watch any of the episodes.
Bobby Kelly
I get that.
Kaitlyn Palufo
I can't watch myself.
Greg
I watched everything. You watched everything I did. I want to see how I come off.
Kaitlyn Palufo
How'd I do?
Greg
People love you, man.
Bobby Kelly
What about Mike Turner? I heard he got shafted.300.
Kaitlyn Palufo
That's the one he got. He's the only one that kind of got a bad.
Bobby Kelly
But then he did it like a face to camera after. To explain himself.
Greg
So, you know. Yeah, he does. He was. You got to choose one, Mom. For the show, you can't kill it. You have to show that he got chosen as the. As the guy who, you know, ate a fucking dick.
Kaitlyn Palufo
But he handled it well.
Greg
I don't know. What do you mean?
Bobby Kelly
When he wasn't happy after, he was pissed.
Greg
Okay, so he goes up, right? It's a black crowd in Chicago.
Bobby Kelly
All right. He's kind of wiggered fine.
Greg
He's great.
Kaitlyn Palufo
I don't know.
Bobby Kelly
He's great. You could say bigger. One letter off.
Greg
Yeah.
Bobby Kelly
You know what I mean? He's got some flavor.
Matt
He's.
Greg
He's flavored. He's.
Usama Siddiqui
But what happened? It wasn't connecting. He had a showcase. Sets are very hard, dude.
Greg
He had a black woman crowd in Chicago, right. Which are fun, which we love, but I want to go against the grain here. So he goes up. His first thing he says was, man, don't we all miss Bush? Which is like, if you're in a middle aged black lady, that's the last. That's your ultimate hater of the vagina.
Usama Siddiqui
What are we talking about?
Bobby Kelly
I don't even know.
Greg
Honestly, with them. Both, they hate. I feel like both of them stink either way. They hate it. But it was just. He goes in and he's talking about President Bush, how it's so good for white. It's still good for white guys, isn't it? It's still good for white guys. And like an older black lady just hates all this. So he just starts bombing.
Usama Siddiqui
My note would be, don't open with something that divisive.
Greg
Boom.
Bobby Kelly
And some of that old bush is what, 30 years ago? What are we doing? Keep it current.
Greg
Keep it current especially.
Kaitlyn Palufo
There's a much more controversial figure in office right now.
Bobby Kelly
Right, right, Exactly.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Probably not great for black ladies.
Greg
Like this bomb. They like throw it from like nine different angles. They get like a golly shot. There was a drone, drone footage of him bombing with the timer going up on the bottom line. So he bombed pretty hard. And it was. It was pretty embarrassing.
Bobby Kelly
And they said they edited it to make it look worse. Worse and worse.
Usama Siddiqui
But, you know, the hardest thing about moving on is not. I don't think even the closer. In my experience. I think the opening joke, it's like you have to write an opener for every set.
Greg
Yeah.
Usama Siddiqui
How many sets did you guys do?
Kaitlyn Palufo
We ended up doing 6.
Greg
8.
Bobby Kelly
8.
Greg
Oh, what do you mean sets? Oh, sorry, sorry. Yeah.
Steve
Six.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Six. Yeah, we did six.
Bobby Kelly
That's a lot.
Usama Siddiqui
How long is each set?
Kaitlyn Palufo
Five minutes. And then the last one was seven. Well, one was A roast. And the other one was work, but it was still. You had to open with a drill.
Steve
Yeah.
Bobby Kelly
Who are you roasting?
Usama Siddiqui
Oh, that's cool.
Greg
It was crazy.
Bobby Kelly
Why him?
Greg
We got some good ones. I think it was tough, though. That was like, eight months of, like, pain and fear because we were just terrified of, like, you know, you're going up to Netflix. Millions of people. I'm first on the show, terrified.
Bobby Kelly
They don't.
Greg
They don't tell Marshawn that we're roasting him.
Kaitlyn Palufo
No.
Bobby Kelly
What? So what?
Greg
He starts talking back to me while I'm roasting. I'm like, buddy, Buddy. He's like, oakland's coming out. Yeah, Oakland's coming out.
Usama Siddiqui
Why would they not tell him?
Greg
Buddy? I think they did tell him, but, you know, he don't be listening to shit.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah.
Greg
He's on media or not thereof.
Kaitlyn Palufo
He had his. He had his. His drink, Hennessy, and then he was sitting there and he had a microphone here. His drinks last night, and he was Hennessy.
Greg
I mean, it was.
Kaitlyn Palufo
And then he.
Usama Siddiqui
For me and a great guy to roast. A guy who took a lot of shots to the head with a drinking problem.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah, yeah, right.
Greg
The dui.
Kaitlyn Palufo
He would get genuinely upset. Like, some of the things we would say, he would be like, I'm gonna kick your.
Greg
It might have been Oakland back and forth, but, jeez, every. The first couple of roasts, it was like, hey, yo, bruh. He did the side mic, where you're
Usama Siddiqui
kind of like, did you roast the whole D or just him?
Greg
I. Everybody.
Bobby Kelly
Who else was out there? Well, we had to do all the comics.
Kaitlyn Palufo
So cute.
Bobby Kelly
Are we on Google Images?
Greg
Oh, my God.
Bobby Kelly
Oh, my God. That reg.
Matt
Yeah.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Yeah, it was sis. This is literally my Instagram.
Bobby Kelly
That's so funny.
Greg
How terrifying. I'm like, back there.
Matt
Yeah.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Our faces are like, oh, my God.
Bobby Kelly
Is that fury?
Usama Siddiqui
Yeah.
Greg
So this is the top 10, I think, right?
Kaitlyn Palufo
Yeah.
Usama Siddiqui
Hey, so the judges were Segura, Chelsea. Yeah. Nikki.
Bobby Kelly
That's a good group. Actual comics. It's not like when I do contests.
Greg
Chris Rock was there.
Usama Siddiqui
How was Ross?
Greg
You know?
Bobby Kelly
No, I heard he was tough. I heard he was a little scary.
Greg
He's a legend. He's a legend and he keeps it real.
Kaitlyn Palufo
He.
Usama Siddiqui
Well, he was. He was. He was one of the last ones.
Greg
He was the one for the. What the.
Bobby Kelly
Was it the semi final?
Usama Siddiqui
Like, I don't have my best material at this point. I'm feeling a bit handicapped. I gotta go in front of Chris.
Bobby Kelly
The best comic you could have given
Greg
the best Joke of your life to him, really.
Kaitlyn Palufo
They had to stop cutting to his legend.
Greg
But he's not, let's say, a laugher. He's not, let's say, like a guy, Right. If he's a good joke, he'd be like, that's a great joke. But he won't. He's not like a giver.
Bobby Kelly
Sure. As opposed to Nick computing the premise.
Greg
He's a very smart. Very smart.
Kaitlyn Palufo
This was his face. It was literally like
Bobby Kelly
everything.
Greg
Like, if you went, knock, knock, you'd have been like, I don't even know what to say to. Yeah, I wouldn't even know the next. So he was tough, but, you know, I guess it's part of it that's the.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Most people come up to me afterwards and they're like, how is Chris Rock?
Greg
He's an obvious legend. He's an amazing comedian, but he's not someone I would be like, hey, tutor me. Yeah, I want to, you know. So it was kind of tough. And he can't be. Not. He can be fit. He's like. He's supposed to be unable to, like, change his face in a way that he's not trying to.
Bobby Kelly
Right?
Kaitlyn Palufo
Yeah.
Bobby Kelly
No, it's totally even. There's a video of him coming in when you guys are all in the green room. He's like, all right, guys, it's gonna be great. You gotta give it extra. And even that looked weird. I was like, what are you doing? It's a weird clip. It went viral, but it looked very strange.
Usama Siddiqui
But it is weird that the bigger the stage, it's like, you're like, I have. Did you open on your favorite jokes on your first set?
Greg
On the first set, I did some of my favorites.
Usama Siddiqui
Yeah.
Greg
But by the semifinal, I was doing some of the older bits. And then the last set, I just did the set I was doing in the clubs. Same perfect time.
Kaitlyn Palufo
I saved my most recent stuff for the end because I was like, if I make it to the end, then, you know, I'll burn that stuff.
Greg
It's so weird. I was working on it. I wasn't done with those bits, and now I'm gone. I don't use them anymore. So it feels like a weird, like, strangled my baby in the cribs. That's what I did. And it feels wrong. Real game.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah. We had a rose. Aaron Hernandez on last comic. It was. It was really tough. It was tough. He killed my wife. The whole thing.
Greg
Not a good combo on the roasting the year thing.
Bobby Kelly
But it was weird.
Usama Siddiqui
It was weird because none of those people were in the. Like, I don't like a roast when the people aren't in the room. So we kind of made it a point to be like, we're just gonna roast like Diddy and Luigi because they're in prison.
Matt
Exactly.
Usama Siddiqui
So it makes sense. Or not there. But if you feel weird being like, hey, Machine Gun Kelly's in the news.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah, but he's not here.
Greg
Yeah.
Bobby Kelly
And we got Stephen Hawking pretty good because he was dead. And a pedophi. While.
Greg
Yes.
Bobby Kelly
The double whammy.
Usama Siddiqui
Well, we don't know for sure.
Bobby Kelly
That's true. That's true.
Usama Siddiqui
He never came out as a pedophile, though. Does anyone?
Bobby Kelly
I. Ah, good point.
Kaitlyn Palufo
You get found out
Greg
he was on the island. Platinum membership. I think he was. He was club access.
Matt
Yeah.
Bobby Kelly
He's a gold member.
Greg
They gave him the towel before he walked in.
Kaitlyn Palufo
He was taken to the island.
Greg
Hot towel.
Bobby Kelly
Holy. What the hell's going on, everybody? What is this, St. Patty's Day parade? Look at these mix. Hey, pull up the seat.
Matt
If you can stand. Literally, right here.
Bobby Kelly
Thanks for bringing food.
Matt
Where are the cameras?
Bobby Kelly
Where are the cameras?
Matt
No camera here.
Bobby Kelly
Hello.
Matt
But it's not pointing at us.
Bobby Kelly
You got to turn around. Turn around this way. There you go.
Steve
All right.
Matt
Anyone want a slice? It's a giant slice.
Greg
Thank you.
Usama Siddiqui
You brought cookies.
Bobby Kelly
Thank you.
Greg
What's up?
Steve
How are you, man?
Greg
How are you, buddy?
Matt
You know what?
Greg
I really likewise.
Steve
Dude.
Matt
Accident.
Steve
What race are you?
Greg
I'm. I'm black.
Steve
Are you?
Greg
Yeah. I'm black Asian.
Steve
You could be anything. That's. That's. You can go in any neighborhood.
Greg
Grew up in. My parents are from Bangladesh.
Steve
Oh, wow.
Matt
It's really inappropriate.
Steve
Yeah.
Kaitlyn Palufo
I was like, are you gonna ask me?
Greg
You're like, I'm black too.
Matt
I feel like I'm blocking your cameras.
Greg
It was with love. I thought was never. Wasn't too negative.
Usama Siddiqui
You've gone.
Bobby Kelly
You guys done already?
Matt
We started. We did an hour and a half.
Bobby Kelly
All right.
Steve
Nice to meet you.
Bobby Kelly
Watch out, big guy. Come behind you.
Matt
You know what I discovered, Mark? That could be useful to you by accident. Carrying a pizza. Great way to get out of a hug. He tried to hug me like a homo and I had a pizza. Sorry.
Bobby Kelly
That's good.
Usama Siddiqui
You could have just put it down for a second.
Bobby Kelly
No, I'll bring a pizza to my. My parents house.
Matt
That's what I said. I'm like, I'll just bring it up to pizza. I can't.
Bobby Kelly
My dad hugs like this.
Greg
Oh, yeah, same.
Bobby Kelly
He does that One.
Usama Siddiqui
Same.
Greg
Same.
Steve
Is that why punk rockers wear, like, spikes all over their jackets?
Bobby Kelly
I don't think that's hilarious. Yeah, I think that's for the mosh pits they get in there. Yeah, they can do some damage.
Steve
I feel like I saw these punk rocker girls on the subway yesterday, and they had dyed hair, the spikes, the combat boots. It was like, you're a rebel, right? So why are you wearing a fucking uniform?
Bobby Kelly
I know it's a lot of work,
Steve
but, I mean, it's been 50 years of the same uniform.
Bobby Kelly
Oh, good point.
Greg
You also want to see, like, tattoo sleeves, and the sleeves are like this. I'm like, you're just. You're trying to show the sleeve. You're trying to show the tattoo, which kind of ruins the coolness factor of it.
Bobby Kelly
No, you're saying they cut off the sleeves. No, no, no.
Greg
You have the whole sleeve tattoos, then they're shirts like this. I'm like, you're not cool anymore. Cause you're trying to show the tattoo. Now you're laying.
Usama Siddiqui
It's like an addiction, too. You see some people get, like, they do one arm, then they just do the other arm, then the leg, and you're just like, this is like an expensive thing.
Bobby Kelly
Very expensive.
Usama Siddiqui
That was the most Jewish reaction to it. I mean, the money you waste.
Bobby Kelly
Jesus Christ.
Greg
And I went hepatitis, and I was like, we're both are our race right now.
Bobby Kelly
But, yeah, these guys were just on a big Netflix show. Did you see Funny af?
Matt
You know about Netflix, Greg?
Kaitlyn Palufo
Yeah.
Bobby Kelly
New network service.
Usama Siddiqui

Matt
I don't like him. I like you guys
Greg
funny, cuz. Annoyed the entire time. He. I don't know why I'm here, man. He kept getting through.
Bobby Kelly
He's a throwback. He's like one of Red Fox.
Steve
Lives in his van.
Greg
No, I think that's done. But that was.
Bobby Kelly
Although he did last year, he's still doing it.
Kaitlyn Palufo
He said, if I win, I'm going to buy a new van and go
Greg
back to the van. And I was like, he's the most, like, annoyed man.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Yeah, he's pissed that he won.
Bobby Kelly
Look at that turtle.
Usama Siddiqui
What was the prize?
Greg
Netflix special.
Usama Siddiqui
A Netflix special. Do they give you money on top or just the specials?
Bobby Kelly
No, there's a SAG Day race that's a great price. I mean, Netflix special, but it's a
Matt
hard prize because you're like, but I just did all my material on Netflix.
Greg
I know, I know.
Matt
Give me some time.
Bobby Kelly
Push it back five years.
Greg
Yeah, they. They get. I think they were trying to get them the next month. Like, hey, man, do the special.
Steve
And they.
Greg
And they pushed it back, but. Jesus Christ.
Matt
Right? You hear about.
Kaitlyn Palufo
And I had a. I had taped a special beforehand, so I was just sitting on a special and then I just did all of the material from that special. So I was like, I'm just gonna throw this on YouTube.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Prosciutto Rose, please. Watch it.
Bobby Kelly
Check it out. So Caitlyn finished second.
Usama Siddiqui
Is that correct?
Kaitlyn Palufo
No, third.
Usama Siddiqui
Third.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Third.
Greg
Osama finished second. Sorry.
Usama Siddiqui
Okay.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Yeah, yeah.
Matt
Second is the best. Third is the nerd.
Bobby Kelly
Okay. First. The worst.
Matt
Second.
Greg
The best.
Matt
Second is the best.
Greg
Third is the hairy chest.
Bobby Kelly
The nerd.
Kaitlyn Palufo
The nerd.
Matt
Fourth is the one with a hairy
Bobby Kelly
chest around the corners.
Kaitlyn Palufo
What if he has both
Bobby Kelly
bullets for, like, the last.
Greg
For the finale, I. I had one that I was like, that Tom liked. He was like, I wish I wrote that joke.
Bobby Kelly
Tom Segura, which was a big.
Greg
That was like. They got that on screen. I was like, that's gonna really help.
Bobby Kelly
That's a good clip.
Greg
It was good. So I saved some. Some heat, but Ron had this five minute dick bit that I think was like, the world loved.
Bobby Kelly
Really?
Greg
When you're on tv, it's that you're doing it for the world. You know, it's not just the crowd.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah.
Greg
So going as. As possible is probably in your best interest.
Bobby Kelly
100.
Greg
I was doing, like, Europe versus America type stuff for, like, just random. I had like eight different topics for like, one set, which I kind of wanted to do my. My way.
Matt
And how did they vote who decided
Greg
it was that moment?
Kaitlyn Palufo
Them?
Usama Siddiqui
The judges?
Greg
No, no, no. It was the.
Bobby Kelly
The world.
Kaitlyn Palufo
It was the world.
Bobby Kelly
They literally put the world.
Greg
It was just like, yeah, for the
Kaitlyn Palufo
semifinals and the finals, they could go on their. Roku and not Roku, but, like, they're. They could pick.
Matt
Really?
Bobby Kelly
You can do that? Uhhuh. Yeah.
Steve
And there was a roast.
Bobby Kelly
There was a roast.
Kaitlyn Palufo
We roasted Marshawn lynch and Kevin and Nikki Glaser.
Steve
So that kind of stepped on because then they roasted Kevin Hart literally two weeks later on the same night.
Matt
So random.
Kaitlyn Palufo
I think that's why they brought in Marshawn, because they were like, oh, we can't do two roasts of Kevin Hart. And so they brought in Marshawn, like, two weeks before we were supposed to film. I don't know if I'm supposed to be saying this, but.
Greg
No, yeah, absolutely.
Bobby Kelly
I can put it together.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Yeah. And so then we had to rewrite all of our jokes for Marshawn.
Usama Siddiqui
Were you guys zinging each other in the rounds? Like, would you go on after someone and zing them? Or is that kind.
Greg
I had some Caitlyn jokes.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Yeah.
Bobby Kelly
I had some Usama jokes.
Matt
She had some.
Greg
What was the best joke about me? Olivia was like, usama looks like he eats pussy with his hands.
Steve
Yeah.
Greg
Pretty good.
Bobby Kelly
Brown. That's great.
Usama Siddiqui
Brown.
Greg
Usama's an Indian fuck boy, so he can charm a snake and then ghost it. Fun.
Bobby Kelly
Fun's good. Ooh, I love it.
Greg
Best joke of the night was Ron's. He was like, kevin, you look like a slave you get for free when you buy Marshawn Lynch.
Usama Siddiqui
Oh, bam.
Greg
Cause he didn't have a great sense. That joke actually saved him in the whole round Down. That joke was so good, it saved his ass for the whole.
Matt
Wow.
Steve
Did anybody tank? Because that's not a sport for every comic.
Kaitlyn Palufo
No, I think everybody had a good set. Some people just didn't roast Marshawn, and I think that's what got.
Bobby Kelly
What? How do you not roast them?
Greg
Dude, I'm saying actual names. Yeah, Ray Loud.
Steve
See it?
Kaitlyn Palufo
Yeah.
Greg
Ray didn't roast Marshawn. He got the email. He didn't check it.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Yeah, brother.
Greg
Biggest day of your life.
Usama Siddiqui
You know who I missed? Bush?
Greg
Michael Turner. Ghost wrote some of his jokes.
Bobby Kelly
Wait, Ray La is a tough name for an Asian. That is a curse to give an Asian negative.
Greg
Which one's the.
Usama Siddiqui
Which one's the.
Bobby Kelly
Which one's the R? That's a. That's a meme.
Usama Siddiqui
I think he figured it out probably at some point.
Bobby Kelly
I feel for you, Ray. Ray or Le Ra, either way.
Greg
And if he likes Frito Lays, that's even. Now it's Ray La likes. What do you even say anymore?
Bobby Kelly
That is.
Usama Siddiqui
That's crazy to. I mean, seven rounds is crazy.
Greg
I mean, it was the most harrowing experience of our lives. End of the roast, your. Your call time is 9. You're not coming in at 4.
Bobby Kelly
They always do that.
Greg
Put you in the fucking pan. You're just, like, stewing.
Bobby Kelly
What is that?
Greg
I don't know. And the roast is the craziest one because we don't have anything tested, so it was just going to be on Netflix Film.
Usama Siddiqui
You didn't run it by any crowds at all.
Greg
Dude, Steve Fury blew up pictures of the. I was like, what we could do.
Kaitlyn Palufo
I ran it. I went to.
Greg
She ran it.
Kaitlyn Palufo
I didn't Comedy seller, the new joke nights. I would have pictures of people on
Bobby Kelly
my phone and be like, look at this good move.
Steve
Did you get people to help you? Because most roasts, you got like eight people writing for you.
Bobby Kelly
That's true.
Kaitlyn Palufo
I met with friends. I met with friends. I went with Ron on Hirschberg. I met with.
Usama Siddiqui
He's an angry little fucker.
Bobby Kelly
He's the king. He can write.
Matt
The best roast joke writer. Most underrated, too.
Bobby Kelly
Tell him the big J joke.
Matt
The big J joke was. Big J doesn't seem Jewish except that he chains his wallet to himself. That's the joke I get complimented the most. And I feel like that was killer. Yeah. One of the great jokes.
Usama Siddiqui
You know, he's got one of the craziest roast jokes ever. You know Dina Hashem's joke? She was roast battling a guy whose mother motorcycle crash and. And she goes, his. His mom died. The way he lives. An unrecognizable road feature.
Greg
That joke will 100 years.
Matt
One of the best jokes ever.
Usama Siddiqui
That's when we're like, oh, my God. But the craftsmanship. You go back and forth. You're like, it's so vicious.
Greg
That joke is so good. Even if you don't know the word feature, you kind of know what it is.
Bobby Kelly
Yes. You put it together.
Greg
You put it together. It's like you learn something in the joke.
Usama Siddiqui
I told him to attend once. He goes, jesus, keep it surface.
Matt
I think one of the most underrated roast jokes ever is. I think it was Florentine. He goes, Bonnie McFarlane, living the American dream. She moved to America and got stupid rich.
Greg
That's great.
Usama Siddiqui
Great.
Greg
That's the rich boss roast, right? Oh, my God.
Usama Siddiqui
That's a good joke.
Matt
She also. Yeah, Bobby at that point. That was when Bobby was his heaviest. He was like 380 pounds. She goes, hey, Bobby, it's one more than you. So if you want to start making
Bobby Kelly
your way up, that roast is underra. It's like wall to wall bangers.
Matt
Oh, it's incredible.
Bobby Kelly
I think my favorite roast joke is iced tea. You're so old, the first thing you bought with your money was your freedom.
Greg
Boom.
Usama Siddiqui
Which means it might have been Jesse Joyce.
Bobby Kelly
That's true.
Greg
Wait, Jesse Joyce was writing Geraldo together.
Bobby Kelly
He wrote the pizza joke. Ralphie May, you're so fat when you're watching porn, you come when they deliver the pizza That's a perfect joke.
Steve
Yeah.
Greg
Yeah.
Usama Siddiqui
There's a clip of Ralphie standing and applauding, which, you know, that took a lot for him.
Steve
Well, he got annihilated in a roast battle with. You ever see Lawrence Lawrence.
Bobby Kelly
Steve Lawren. Oh, my God. Legend.
Greg
What was going to happen?
Bobby Kelly
Oh, he knew.
Greg
Prepare any jokes.
Bobby Kelly
He just thought, oh, Mike's nobody.
Usama Siddiqui
Mike is an unbelievable writer, but it's also.
Greg
You got paired with the best. Also top five roast rider of all time, and you came with nothing. You came. I know schoolyard stuff.
Bobby Kelly
He bought a Febreze bottle that was his big. That just looked worse.
Matt
How about Tapaolo Robin quivers? Yeah, you would, too, if your father finger you when you were six.
Usama Siddiqui
Those old Howard Stern rogues. Are you some of those?
Steve
Yeah. I roasted baba booy one time, and I go. I said, gary's teeth look like a row of urinals at Shea Stadium.
Bobby Kelly
What was that? Was it the Paula who said? Oh, he goes, lisa Lampinelli's so many black guys, she calls them on her sickle cell. Was that Depaolo?
Matt
I don't know.
Bobby Kelly
Sickle cell.
Matt
That's pretty good, though.
Bobby Kelly
I think that was Nick.
Usama Siddiqui
They're core. They're really dumb. That's why they're so funny.
Bobby Kelly
It's great.
Usama Siddiqui
It's great.
Greg
Schoolyard shit is.
Bobby Kelly
Have you guys done roasts many times?
Steve
Yeah.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah, yeah.
Steve
Did you roast?
Bobby Kelly
We more roasted each other. We roasted Nate Bargazi. We roasted.
Greg
What's.
Bobby Kelly
Remember Eric?
Matt
The Giannis roast.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah, Eric, I forgot what was a
Greg
good Nate roast that y' all had.
Matt
That was. It's so crazy. Didn't film it. There's like. It feels like we're from, like, the 50s. We did a roast of Nate Bragazi, Whatever.
Bobby Kelly
It was Michael Chef stars.
Matt
Nobody thought to be like, should we roll camera on this? It was just a literal private run.
Bobby Kelly
Yes. For fun. It was Michael Chase, Sal Volcano. Big deals. All these killers Soder and. Yeah. No film.
Matt
We did a Nate one and a Giannis one.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah.
Steve
I roasted Chevy Chase on Comedy Central.
Greg
The one that got canceled famous.
Steve
I did. I went on three. I went on in three hours. In.
Bobby Kelly
Whoa.
Steve
And it was back when it was still the Friars Club roast. So, like, the audience was like all these old Jews from the Friars Club, and they started at, like, noon, and I got on at, like, 3 o', clock, and. And Chevy wouldn't say hi to anybody. Like, backstage, he. He had sunglasses on, and it was like he hated being there. So he sat there with his.
Usama Siddiqui
Did he just do it for money. I mean, why did he do it?
Steve
Yeah. For his wife's charity. He said he did. I guess they donate like a million dollars to. And so I went on and I mean, I got cut. Kevin Meaney got cut. Marin.
Bobby Kelly
Damn.
Steve
All these people that went on towards the end. And it was famously the worst roast of all time.
Greg
He cried.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Didn't he cry?
Steve
I don't know.
Matt
Let's say it. Why not?
Bobby Kelly
You cried. Cried like a.
Usama Siddiqui
Remember Marin had that joke from that roast where he said he kept. Chevy Chase, kept saying, who are these nobodies? And he goes, we're nobodies at the beginning of our career.
Bobby Kelly
Ooh, that cuts down Jeep.
Usama Siddiqui
Was that. Was Colbert on that one, too? He had a pretty great set.
Steve
He did. And so did Al
Bobby Kelly
Lubell.
Steve
No. Who's the guy? Al Franken.
Bobby Kelly
Oh, wow. I've never heard that. Really? He always sticks it up.
Greg
Never heard that then.
Bobby Kelly
Yikes.
Usama Siddiqui
Geraldo was on that too, though, right?
Bobby Kelly
Yeah.
Usama Siddiqui
Wasn't Todd?
Greg
Todd Barry.
Bobby Kelly
Todd was on there. Young Todd.
Greg
Yeah.
Steve
Jeff Ross. Ross. Lisa Lampanelli.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah. Ross had hair.
Matt
Diversity was a thing back in the day.
Greg
Oh, my God.
Steve
And then some of the old timers like Freddie Roman, Alan King, Capri. Alan King might have hosted it.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah, I think he did.
Steve
No, no, no. Paul Schaefer.
Bobby Kelly
Oh, that's right. Schaefer.
Steve
And I said, Dr. Phil with AIDS, everybody. And people bummed out.
Bobby Kelly
What?
Steve
It's great.
Usama Siddiqui
Yeah.
Bobby Kelly
Damn.
Usama Siddiqui
With AIDS is the classic add on to the.
Bobby Kelly
Was that the famous one where Geraldo had the drug infused meltdown?
Usama Siddiqui
No, that was Larry the Cable Guy.
Bobby Kelly
Okay. Then Artie Lang. Artie Lang had to help him get to. Which is crazy. Artie Lang is the guy. Like, you got to get your shit together.
Usama Siddiqui
Well, yeah. The whole story's already helped Greg get on a flight. He was, like, freaking out. He took care of him this whole time. And he held his hand through security. He was bugging out. And then Greg shows up for the roast, and his first line is, he goes, arty Lang, you fat drug addict. He just turns to life.
Bobby Kelly
That's show business. Great.
Matt
Paul had a great Larry the Cable Guy. He goes, his real name's Dan Whitney, but he had to change it because it had the word wit in it.
Bobby Kelly
Clever.
Greg
That was a good roast. The cable guy roast was phenomenal.
Bobby Kelly
That was a great one.
Greg
There was some head, there was some anger on that. That one was good.
Bobby Kelly
That was the one where he said Geraldo, like, lost it. He was like, why are you so famous? I don't get it.
Matt
He's like, this one broke me.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah.

Greg
There was an era when everyone had an AIDS AIDS metaphor.
Bobby Kelly
AIDS was big.
Usama Siddiqui
Yeah.
Bobby Kelly
Because it still killed with an AIDS truck.
Greg
I hope an aids. The bird flies into your face. AIDS was it. Yeah.
Bobby Kelly
AIDS was big. Well, it killed like a couple million gays. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I believe traits, too, actually.
Steve
Yeah.
Bobby Kelly
That's a rumor. It's a myth.
Steve
Hemophiliacs and homophiliacs.
Bobby Kelly
Drug addicts.
Steve
Yeah.
Bobby Kelly
Hey, there you go.
Matt
I heard that story. I went to the.
Bobby Kelly
The.
Matt
What do you call, STD clinic, whatever. And in the waiting room there was a video, and it was like a 15 minute video about how AIDS was ravaging the black community. And then it turned over into a drug community. And then it was like 10 minutes on the gay community, and then it looped back to the black community. And I was like, I guess I'm all right. They just address the three.
Usama Siddiqui
Then it was a MASH rerun.
Greg
And then so imagine you got the disease and you're like, but I'm white.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Yeah.
Usama Siddiqui
Why?
Greg
Check it again, Doctor.
Steve
I'm so old. When I used to work as a teenager at a hospital delivering the food to the rooms, and then this disease came out, and nobody knew what it was, but they told us that when we delivered to these rooms, it was like all disposable utensils and plates, and I had to wear a mask and gloves, but they still sent me in and they. This was like in the first year of the name.
Bobby Kelly
Whoa.
Greg
Are you scared?
Matt
Whoa. Whoa.
Steve
That is fucking hot.
Bobby Kelly
What do you call grids, then? Gay related immunity.
Steve
Yes.
Bobby Kelly
Whoa. Grids. Yeah. That is a roast.
Matt
Joke
Greg
Victims in the name.
Matt
They're like, bring this to 3s. Don't anyone in the room.
Steve
They don't look hungry. They're not.
Greg
Pre AIDS protocol. You're going in with just like a gas. This is a mask.
Steve
Yeah.
Greg
That's terrifying. Oh, my God.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah. I'm a ride of H. Pylori story. Famously, this virus you get from eating ass. But I went to the doctor and I was like, I have aids. I know it. I was kind of having a real breakdown. And he goes, you gay? And I go, no. He goes, you use needle. I go, no. He goes, you don't have aids. That was a doctor in lab coat told me that and I left.
Greg
You use needle. Is. It was like a Japanese.
Bobby Kelly
He was Indian.
Greg
He was Indian.
Bobby Kelly
I can't do the accent there. I was. Look how puffy that was. Me in the throes of illness.
Matt
God.
Greg
Oh, my God. This is what I found, all y'.
Kaitlyn Palufo
All.
Matt
It's horrible.
Greg
I started.
Usama Siddiqui
Started looking like Nick Turner with AIDS
Greg
hit by an AIDS truck.
Matt
You look like you need AIDS there.
Bobby Kelly
Pull up, Nick Turner.
Usama Siddiqui
Pull that up. So they realize it was a good joke.
Greg
Yeah.
Bobby Kelly
I want the people at home to appreciate it.
Steve
Remember that.
Usama Siddiqui
Come on.
Bobby Kelly
Oh, good.
Greg
I haven't seen him.
Bobby Kelly
He went to LA and I think he does a lot of acting.
Usama Siddiqui
Okay, okay.
Bobby Kelly
He got aids.
Usama Siddiqui
So you guys now you. You burned. How much? Like 35 minutes. Is it 20?
Greg
It's like 20, 25 of the. It was fine if you've done it for like 14 years at this point.
Matt
Right.
Greg
So it's like we have some extra stuff. If I was like five years in, this would be a terrifying moment.
Bobby Kelly
Sure.
Steve
Yeah.
Kaitlyn Palufo
I think we were lucky because I had Dirty Bird too, my previous album. So, like the semi finals, I was like, I'm just going to do everything from Dirty Bird and then the crowd work. We didn't have to. You. I didn't. I think I burned one joke.
Usama Siddiqui
There's a crowd work set.
Greg
Yeah, that's br. It was crazy. You get to work in crowd work and topical, so it's random. Just do any topic and also have some crowd work in there.
Bobby Kelly
A lot of work.
Greg
Steve, is this.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Yeah, that was the one I was the most nervous about because they did the roast and then we didn't get a day to practice or run our set. We had to do the next day, show up 9am and then. And then do crowd work.
Matt
Crazy.
Bobby Kelly
This must have been a hellish week.
Kaitlyn Palufo
It was the hardest week of my life.
Matt
Yeah.
Greg
We were terrified. We were terrified the entire.
Matt
And where were you filming this? Sorry, I missed.
Greg
Is New York the first round? Yeah. I don't think me and Kaylin give up. Give a fuck that first round. We were like, yeah. And then we got in, and as you get in, you more and more, you're like, well, okay, now I truly give a. Yeah, I need this. But it was fun. It was like, thank God you were there, because every time I was feeling too much, I would. Yeah, I would pour myself into you.
Kaitlyn Palufo
There's really a great picture of us. It was after we were waiting to find out the results from the roast. And we're sitting there in a corner just huddled together, and then he said something stupid. I don't remember what you said. And we're just doubled over laughing, and then panic sweating. And just like this. Never again.
Greg
It was crazy. It was crazy because. Yeah, I think we had. Everyone was from New York and some people from New York, but I think me and Kaylie, we started together, like, auto shrunken head. We're talking, like, the shittiest mics on planet Earth.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Yes.
Bobby Kelly
Been there.
Greg
The third friend in New York, basically. I met her immediately when I High school.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Yeah.
Greg
So that was great.
Kaitlyn Palufo
And then we were. We made it to the finale together. And that was nice.
Greg
That was like. That was the best part of the whole, actually.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Yeah.
Steve
Have you found your draw on the road?
Matt
Pixels. Yeah.
Bobby Kelly
Did you notice a difference?
Kaitlyn Palufo
Yeah.
Steve
Immediate.
Greg

Usama Siddiqui

Bobby Kelly
Yeah.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Adding shows, stuff like that.
Steve
Meanwhile, Rich Voss is like, Sunday at
Bobby Kelly

Greg
I saw Rich recently. He's still doing that roast. That riff. It was like, you ever been to a Hampton Inn? I'm like, he's still doing that one. Still kills, still hits.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah, boss. Is the thing where he's like, what's up? You middle? I'm like, come on, man. I've been headlining for 10 years.

Usama Siddiqui
He will be in a wheelchair, gray hair, in Air Force One.
Bobby Kelly
Now, did you guys have. Because when I did last comic standing, when you got kicked off, you had to talk to a psychiatrist. Yeah, they had that still.
Matt
What? Oh, yeah, I never had a psychiatrist.
Bobby Kelly
Well, I did.
Greg
They had a psych eval person therapist before you even got on the show. So they would run through your shit and your baby like, so you ever suicidal? And we're comics. You're like, only after a bad set. And they're like, ha, ha.
Matt
Right?
Greg
And they're like, so after you felt suicidal, did you harm any? Like, there was no riffing.
Matt
Oh, geez.
Greg
I riffed a couple times, and I was like, that's out. I'm done.
Bobby Kelly
Suck. I like my comic suicidal. I want a headbird.
Greg
You want a better show?
Usama Siddiqui
You want a couple?
Bobby Kelly
Exactly.
Matt
I am. After you said your numbers,
Greg
I think some comics we know were in, and then last day, they were like, no.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Yeah. They found out the day before we were supposed to shoot that they didn't get it.
Usama Siddiqui
What does that. What does that mean?
Greg
The psyche. Val didn't. They were crazy.
Kaitlyn Palufo
The background check. Psych.
Greg
The psych. They failed.
Matt
Yeah.
Usama Siddiqui
So they had a. And then it's like, yeah.
Bobby Kelly
Whoa. I gotta hear this.
Usama Siddiqui
The jokes hit, but their mental state got them off.
Greg
That's what I'm saying. Like, that's crazy. Everything was. Everything was set.
Bobby Kelly
Should be funny. Funny.
Steve
I think Uncle Vinny's in Jersey. Should have a psychiatrist.
Matt
So was Yamanika furious when they kicked her off?
Steve
Yeah, that is.
Usama Siddiqui
I did.
Greg
It was crazy. They did that.
Usama Siddiqui
Who's that? To have a therapist?
Bobby Kelly
Also, if you comp. Is crazy. Crazy, then you might get mad that you got kicked off, then you might shoot somebody or something.
Greg
Yeah. I thought it was in my best interest to be a little crazy. That's what I did. I was like, I'll be a little suicidal. Oh, you know, I was trying to
Kaitlyn Palufo
play it cool the whole time. I was like, you're not gonna get my ass. I'm a nice lady.
Greg
Yeah. It was weird. Then we got in, and then it was the. It was a view. That was the first round.
Usama Siddiqui
Yeah.
Greg
And it was.
Kaitlyn Palufo
That was awesome.
Greg
People go crazy on. I don't know if you like friends. You know, we're not the same people.
Kaitlyn Palufo
People.
Bobby Kelly
Totally.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Yeah.
Greg
They lose their good friends. Totally angry people.
Kaitlyn Palufo
I know.
Greg
We're like, ripping the mics off. Like, that's a nice light skinned guy. I don't know why he's being so dark skinned.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Right? Yeah.
Bobby Kelly
Anyone have a snap set? Anyone just go, this you, Kevin Hart. N word. Beep.
Matt
Did it make it?
Kaitlyn Palufo
No,
Greg
there was a couple a comment or two that. That had some crap. Russia's.
Bobby Kelly
Oh.
Matt
So how many did it start with? How many people were.
Kaitlyn Palufo
There was 15 people in each city. And then it went to.
Steve
How many cities?
Kaitlyn Palufo
Three.
Bobby Kelly
I missed five. Still on.
Greg
So first round was with me, you, who's from New York, who else? Jackson Leclerc was in it. Winston.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Winston.
Greg
Reg.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Yeah. Andrea. Gin.
Greg
Jan. Yeah. Because she didn't want to do the roast.
Bobby Kelly
This is not me. Interesting.
Greg
Even though she made the top 10,
Bobby Kelly
might as well try it.
Matt
Yeah.
Greg
Oh, she was doing, like, opening. Can I say this? I don't know how many ideas have we.
Kaitlyn Palufo
I took the first one.
Greg
She was only from Mulaney at the time.
Bobby Kelly
Oh, wow.
Greg
He was paying way more money.
Bobby Kelly
Sweet gig.
Greg
And he has a production deal, I think, with Netflix. So she was like, why don't I just.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah.
Greg
Devote to.
Bobby Kelly
He got Robbie Hoffman a special, I believe. Mulaney. Yeah. So she's like, I'll be fine with this guy.
Greg
She's got.
Usama Siddiqui
Yeah.
Kaitlyn Palufo
I think she also just didn't want to do the roast. And then this opportunity came up and she was like, yeah, I'm gonna do that.
Bobby Kelly
It's weird.
Usama Siddiqui
You have to be like. You have to hit every beat. Because not every comic is a crowd. Work person.
Bobby Kelly
Right.
Usama Siddiqui
The roast person.
Greg
Video's crazy.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Yeah.
Steve
Yeah. But you're creative. You do. You go, all right, I'll do the roast. And you go, you know what? I don't like being mean to other people, so I'm gonna roast myself.
Bobby Kelly
Just do, you know, interesting.
Steve
But survive. Go to the next round.
Bobby Kelly
Right? That's good.
Kaitlyn Palufo
That was the one everybody want wanted. They were like, just get me past the roast and it doesn't matter. I'll be happy. And then we said that with every round. But, like, the roast was. The roast was the one where we're like, just don't embarrass yourself.
Bobby Kelly
But yeah, yeah.
Greg
I mean, it was like, I want to do it myself. So I didn't want any writers too. I was like, let me. If I'm gonna die on this, let me just die on my own.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah.
Greg
So I just. I watched every roast I could possibly. I watched every single Comedy Central roast.
Bobby Kelly
Wow.
Greg
Slowly figured out how to do it.
Bobby Kelly
Good for you.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Yeah, no, I. I met with. With people. I'm busy.
Greg
Run on sweating, please.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Yeah.
Bobby Kelly
Did you throw him some money? Because he needs
Kaitlyn Palufo
was before the baby was born.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah. I opened for a last comic winner. I'm not gonna say who. And I gotta tell you, he would do these shows, sold out big theaters, and I would open for him. And you could see people slowly walk out 10 minutes into a set 12. Cuz then they heard it all. Wow. They heard it all. So they were like, we've seen this. This. They were so excited to see him the same act every time, and they hated it.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Really.
Usama Siddiqui
But enough about that fan. Anyway. It wasn't.
Bobby Kelly
It wasn't that fan.
Usama Siddiqui
Okay.
Steve
All right.
Kaitlyn Palufo
I can't believe I'm not that old.
Usama Siddiqui
Yeah, I opened for him once.
Bobby Kelly
Oh, really?
Greg
What?
Usama Siddiqui
He was a nice guy.
Bobby Kelly
All right.
Matt
Do you know that dad fan story at the. I think it was the store. Where did he come up? Is he from the store?
Usama Siddiqui
I don't know.
Bobby Kelly
I don't know. Probably.
Matt
I think it was the store. That fan was like a door guy at the. At the store. And everyone kind like busted his balls. He's like this nerdy guy and wasn't funny in their perception, so they're like, you know how you bust the guy's balls? And it's like, yeah, fuck you, dat. You suck. Whatever. And then he goes and does last coming stand and he wins. And he's coming back, and it's his first time coming back to the store where he was a door guy and this kind of nerd that everyone, you know, punked or whatever the term. And he's walking in and everyone starts applauding and he's like, oh, my God. He's like, moved. He's like, this is like the greatest moment of my life. Everyone's clapping. People are like, emotional, and he's like, wow, he's really taking it in. He looks back and Rodney Dangerfield has a cane and he's.
Greg
There's no way that's true.
Usama Siddiqui
That's too funny. Amazing.
Matt
There is a version of that that is true. And I think that's pretty close to the story.
Greg
That's that fan.
Bobby Kelly
He doesn't get no respect.
Usama Siddiqui
I'll tell you guys are great.
Matt
No respect to Rodney's in a bathrobe.
Greg
That fan is dead.
Bobby Kelly
No, I saw him at a casino. I saw his poster at a casino.
Greg
Someone told me he died.
Matt
Maybe on stage.
Bobby Kelly
No.
Greg
Boom.
Bobby Kelly
Still working.
Matt
Oh, D75. There you go.
Bobby Kelly
I met him once. He told me he gets his pants tailored so he can high kick during his set so his pants don't rip.
Steve
Yeah, Good for him.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Commitment.
Bobby Kelly
I know.
Greg
He beat Rock May, right?
Usama Siddiqui
Yeah.
Bobby Kelly
And in life.
Matt
Yeah.
Greg
Oh, dead.
Bobby Kelly
There we go.
Usama Siddiqui
Was it Voss? Third on that season.
Bobby Kelly
Oh, is that right? No wonder he's a layout, because that
Matt
was the first year.
Greg
Didn't y' all have the crowd work? Episode two? I saw y' all have like, it. Wasn't there a crow episode on the last comic standing season where April Macy gets like destroyed or something?
Bobby Kelly
Not on my year.
Matt
No. I did the last year. They didn't it then. It's wild.
Bobby Kelly
You had a good year because you had Norm and Jezelic. So I had more real comedians.
Matt
Well, it was a very exciting year. Jes was there and Norm was a judge. But it was the first year they didn't do the Challenge. And then it aired at 10pm instead of 9pm so nobody watched it.
Bobby Kelly
And you got pretty far before I did comedy.
Kaitlyn Palufo
I was watching it and I was like this.
Matt
Joe, thank you. I was in the top 10.
Greg
That's how I found out about you.
Kaitlyn Palufo
You did the baby joke with the itchy.
Matt
Yeah, I had a great set, but it was one of many things that I was like, now it's over now, here we go. And they were like, yeah, that's ratings.
Steve
Did you run out of clean material?
Matt
No, no, I. I did great.
Usama Siddiqui
I remember what's hard. We were just saying it was hard. Netflix, they can say whatever.
Steve
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Greg
Were you on that on the one that Joe was on?
Usama Siddiqui
No, I was on the season Joe was on and I think, Marv, you were on the year before.
Bobby Kelly
The year before, Yeah, I had.
Matt
What was amazing about it was it was union because I was doing Last Guy We Stand at the exact same time that Veeder was doing America's Got Talent, which was a non union. So he was like on the show all the time making no money and flying himself to la.
Usama Siddiqui
Yes.
Matt
And I was getting paid like hundreds of dollars an hour to just fart around.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah.
Matt
So he got like 100,000 followers. I got none, but I made like $75,000 or something. I'm guessing on the number, but it was a of bunch much.
Steve
I just added up how much he makes a year. You know he's making half a million dollars a year.
Bobby Kelly
This is slowing down.
Matt
Why this good podcast? No, this is him assessing. Do that. Do these guys.
Greg
That's a low ball for a joke.
Steve
Yeah, I think it is. After I said it, I went, no, he's making more.
Bobby Kelly
Pull up the. The Google on him.
Usama Siddiqui
Why are we doing that?
Matt
I'm not all that comfortable with this.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah, it's like women's weight on Tinder.
Matt
That's actually hurtful.
Greg
That's so funny. Not the 1.2 million from holy.
Bobby Kelly
Thank you. There you go. Now who is your judges?
Matt
I just. I just made $800,000. Look at that.
Bobby Kelly
Whoa.
Matt
Scroll down.
Greg
One more. Let's see if I can get to 3 celebrity now.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Jesus.
Bobby Kelly
Don't click on that.
Steve
Over 500,000 easily.
Matt
Wow.
Greg
About this. A lot of people are thinking about this.
Bobby Kelly
The regs is paying.
Matt
What is this?
Bobby Kelly
Home screen.
Matt
What's wrong with you?
Bobby Kelly
Oh, God. Now, who were your judges? You had Norm. Who's the other guy?
Usama Siddiqui
Norm Keenan and Roseanne.
Matt
Roseanne, that's right.
Greg
Yeah.
Matt
And Norm was incredibly nice to me. And then the entire country took it as very insulting. He's like, you're an amazing writer. Your future is going to be in writing. And everyone's like, he just said he's ugly. He called him a piece of. And I was like, oh, I think. I think he was being nice.
Bobby Kelly
Oh, let's see pool's feet.
Matt
What are you doing?
Greg
Is there.
Bobby Kelly
This is Kay. They got everybody wiki feet. Oh, I'm on wiki feet.
Greg
This is crazy.
Bobby Kelly
Who's looking at her feet?
Usama Siddiqui
We finally get a woman on the show and you have to make her uncomfortable.
Greg
What the.
Kaitlyn Palufo
It is crazy that you're pulling up a bikini pic of me right now.
Matt
Right after he pulled up my net worth.
Bobby Kelly
What the. I looked up your wiki feeds.
Steve
I looked up his wiki feet first
Bobby Kelly
and he's not on there.
Matt
This is insane.
Bobby Kelly
Now pull up Greg's dick
Matt
before you do that. Send me the link to that site. But that is inappropriate.
Greg
Greg's on wiki.
Usama Siddiqui
Who are the judges? Who are the judges in your final round?
Bobby Kelly
Glaser and Tom, Real comedian.
Usama Siddiqui
So they have to choose. Oh, the country.
Greg
Choose country.
Kaitlyn Palufo
They had no say, but they must
Usama Siddiqui
have some say because they're commenting on it before people vote.
Bobby Kelly
Right.
Greg
There was There was a. Yeah, they
Kaitlyn Palufo
commented, but they were nice to everybody.
Steve
Yeah.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah. It looks a bad look if you're like, you. Heck yeah. Kill yourself.
Steve
Nor could be a little rough, though.
Bobby Kelly
Nor could be rough.
Matt
He got into it with Harrison Greenbaum. I remember because he did some anti Christian stuff and it got heated.
Bobby Kelly
Went back and forth on Twitter after that, too.
Matt
Yeah.
Bobby Kelly
Didn't end on screen. Yeah. Norm, like, couldn't let it go.
Matt
That's crazy.
Steve
No, Nor. I remember he was on my podcast once and I said something about priests and he laid into me.
Bobby Kelly
Really?
Steve
He was a big defender. The. The Chris.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Really?
Greg
I think it was Cassidy.
Bobby Kelly
He fought with a Dawkins online once.
Matt
Yeah.
Greg
Oh, my God.
Bobby Kelly
They went at it. I think he got the best of him a little bit than Dawkins. Yeah.
Greg
He had all the stuff locked in, though.
Bobby Kelly
He was.
Greg
He was good.
Bobby Kelly
He had one that Dawkins didn't. He couldn't. He's like, I can't answer that. That one. And Norm was like, I think I got you there, dickless. So very excited. Then he died. So maybe God got him both dead. I guess Dawkins died.
Greg
Is he dead?
Kaitlyn Palufo
Buddy, you got to stop saying, I don't know what you're doing, but you can't swing again from the hip.
Matt
Sam's like Daryl Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, the death.
Greg
A couple of God hater novel guys.
Bobby Kelly
True. That's a good point.
Greg
They all the same to me whether the.
Matt
The new atheist people. Is Dolly Parton dead? Why is she up there right now?

Matt
Get all into wiki feet.
Bobby Kelly
I look up every guest when they come in. I apologize to you, but I looked up Joe. Are you a fe.
Greg
Am I in there? No, I'm not a foot guy.
Bobby Kelly
Am I in there? I don't think so.
Greg
I think I keep my feet pretty.
Steve
I have a theory that is gross.
Greg
Men disgusting in an episode or something.
Matt
I think foot fetishism is more shame than pedophilia.
Bobby Kelly
Well, he's a big.
Usama Siddiqui
I would rather be a foot fetish.
Kaitlyn Palufo
But people react in my mouth, people
Matt
react like, hey, hey, I'm not a.
Bobby Kelly
Well, what are you? A foot guy.
Matt
People act like it's like crazy.
Steve
People start looking at feet.
Bobby Kelly
You're a foot guy.
Steve
I'm not a, I'm not a fetishist. But like, I'm not afraid to say I like a nice pair of feet.
Matt
I like a foot too.
Steve
You know, like if a girl's got flip flops on and you know, it's a nice rounded to like an Asian foot where it's, where it's very specific.
Usama Siddiqui
Fetish,
Greg
binding, whatever.
Bobby Kelly
I've got a video.
Steve
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I saw that.
Bobby Kelly
This is fun.
Greg
Oh, where the guy. Yeah.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Oh, I hate this. I can't even watch. This is so.
Bobby Kelly
That's a Midtown.
Kaitlyn Palufo
I know what's happening.
Bobby Kelly
Midtown foot right there against my will.
Greg
Like a city foot.
Bobby Kelly
Exactly.
Greg
It's been on the subway train.
Steve
Were you at the parade, Sam?
Usama Siddiqui
No, it's too much for me. I, I celebrated from home.
Greg
I, I, I was there. I loved it.
Usama Siddiqui
It was, it's too, it's too small an area. You, you gotta get out of the canyon of heroes and put it somewhere else.
Matt
I agree. It's in my neighborhood. It's horrible.
Usama Siddiqui
You sent me that video early.
Matt
I was leaving for the airport like 5, 45 and the, what are you called? Were coming in. They were like bringing the floats in.
Steve
My son works on that street and he couldn't go to work that day.
Usama Siddiqui
Yeah, my brother works down there too. He couldn't go in.
Steve
So. I feel like all comedians watch the series through you.
Bobby Kelly
I really do.
Steve
I was happy for the Knicks, but I was happier for you.
Greg
It was crazy.
Usama Siddiqui
It was a good time, man.
Matt
You're a better man than me. Because Stavros is. I would have to be be unfriends with him. I couldn't handle it. Cuz he run for the Bucks like three seasons ago. He's posting like a carousel of the Knicks. I'm like, get out of here.
Steve
This is my day.
Usama Siddiqui
He was, he came here and became a Knicks fan because he didn't have a team growing up. But he rooted for Giannis. He loves Giannis.
Bobby Kelly
Green Creek. Yeah.
Matt
I can't abide. I don't accept it.
Steve
Did you Go to every game.
Usama Siddiqui
No, I wouldn't go. Not every game, but I went to a few.
Matt
Look up his. Look up his net worth real quick. Let's see.
Usama Siddiqui
Not paying for those seats, so. But no, that was. That tipping game was the greatest thing I've ever seen.
Greg
My mind.
Kaitlyn Palufo
So cool you were there.
Usama Siddiqui
I wasn't at that one.
Greg
I was, you know, I was in LA doing shows. I had it playing streaming while I was doing standup. So I was like, I have.
Matt
The audience loved that.
Greg
Yeah.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Sold out crowd. Hot ticket.
Greg
It was like 25 people.
Bobby Kelly
What club?
Greg
Laugh Factory.
Bobby Kelly
Okay.
Greg
It was fine. It was fine. Who. Listen, it's like a Thursday show that's worse than Kramer. Tuesday.
Steve
I was in the city for game three. And it was so weird because I'm out on the street and it's all black people. You know, by Bryant Square Park. And then you watch the game.
Matt
Well, they live there.
Steve
And you watch, like, the inside. Sorry, the in. What did you say?
Matt
They live in the street. It was a joke.
Bobby Kelly
I feel horrible.
Matt
Cut that. Jesus Christ.
Steve
But, like, everybody in the street is black.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Black.
Steve
And then you cut to inside the arena and everybody's white. Then you cut to the floor and all the players are black.
Greg
Yeah.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah. Interesting.
Steve
It is interesting.
Greg
It's a liberal gay
Bobby Kelly
cuck alert. So what you're saying is the hockey team needs to win some bites out in the street.
Steve
Did the Knicks have any white players?
Bobby Kelly
Yeah, we got Kolak.
Usama Siddiqui
Kolik's white.
Steve
Did he play?
Usama Siddiqui
He played. He's a good player. We're just that deep. That Alvarado took his minutes, but no Colex.
Bobby Kelly
Really good. He got snubbed at the parade. You saw that.
Usama Siddiqui
Amazing.
Bobby Kelly
That's racial profiling. They're like, who's this twink out here?
Usama Siddiqui
Oh, yeah.
Bobby Kelly
All the cops grabbed him and he's like, I'm on the team, dick. That's kind of up. That was reversed on a hockey team.
Matt
That happened to. What's his toes. The tennis player there, Serena. Will. James Blake, he got, like, tackled and tased at the US Open. 1. I don't know about tase, but, yeah.
Greg
Might have been a James Blake hater.
Bobby Kelly
I was about to get him. I mean, in their defense, he. He looks like a guy who works at Buffalo Wild Wings or something. Like, he's just a regular guy.
Greg
I'll give a wing. Stop.
Matt
That's amazing. This would be literally the biggest news story.
Bobby Kelly
That's what I'm saying.
Matt
This was reversed, but, I mean, he
Greg
was moving kind of Gen Z. I'm not going to lie.
Bobby Kelly
He was.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Yeah, he was skipping.
Greg
He was not championship.
Bobby Kelly
He was skipping championship.
Greg
Moving like that, you're allowed to skip.
Bobby Kelly
He won a championship.
Greg
He was crazy.
Usama Siddiqui
I. I ran a Michael Cox from. From Fallon last night and he said, man, I was there when the whole team was there. They were lit up. And I was like, they deserve it, man.
Matt
Yeah.
Bobby Kelly
Let it be lit up. Let them be lit all year.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Yeah.
Usama Siddiqui
10 weeks of just grinding.
Steve
Look at the 86 Mets.
Bobby Kelly
Oh, they were more than lit up.
Steve
They were lit before and after.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah. During.
Greg
I will say, the switch up of the commentators is crazy. So, like, the hate Brunson was getting before and now the way they're like, you know, shooting at anybody who's not ranking him higher immediately. It's so quick how they change up.
Steve
Are they going to trade anybody out in the off season?
Usama Siddiqui
Well, it's about who you question.
Greg
Giannis is in the heat now.
Usama Siddiqui
Giannis to Miami is pretty big.
Steve
That's why.
Matt
Did that happen?
Greg
Yeah, it happened. Yeah.
Kaitlyn Palufo
What?
Steve
Yeah.
Matt
No shit.
Greg
A lot of years.
Usama Siddiqui
They're going to be thin, though, because, you know, it depends who they can afford to keep.
Bobby Kelly
We'll see.
Matt
Well, Stavros will have to go to the Miami parade next year.
Bobby Kelly
Oh, too warm. He can't handle it.
Usama Siddiqui
I got it, Joe.
Matt
Oh. So anyway, this happened with a tennis player, James Blake. The thing that we're talking about, where was he? But we've moved on at this point.
Greg
But he got arrested.
Bobby Kelly
He just. What happened? I don't even do anything. They mistook him for a criminal. Oh, there was a crime in the area?
Matt
Yeah.
Usama Siddiqui
Did he get a lawsuit out of this?
Bobby Kelly
Oh, yeah.
Usama Siddiqui
I've really got my Jew cap on today. You got a sue.
Bobby Kelly
What? What. What ethnicity is this? Cat, I think he's black.
Usama Siddiqui
Yeah.
Bobby Kelly
Oh, no.
Steve
And he's light skinned, too.
Bobby Kelly
I can go either way.
Greg
James Blake is a very.
Usama Siddiqui
He was a good player. Yeah.
Bobby Kelly
Not anymore. They ruined his arm.
Matt
He was a terrible. It's called play up 10 years ago.
Bobby Kelly
Damn.
Greg
Did he win anything else at all?
Kaitlyn Palufo
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Usama Siddiqui
What's your sport?
Kaitlyn Palufo
Soccer. I'm watching the World cup right now. USA's doing pretty good.
Greg
I like the games.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Pretty good. They're great. I'm so exc. Excited.
Bobby Kelly
Fun seeing all the stereotypes come to life. You know, the Scots are drinking.
Greg
Yeah.
Bobby Kelly
The Norwegians are rowing up an escalator.
Kaitlyn Palufo
The Japanese are cleaning up after them.
Greg
I mean, it's very sweet. It's lovely.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Everybody's getting along. We love it.
Greg
The Japanese people are coming in. Like they didn't have Internet for the last 10 years. Barbecue. It's like you Googled it before, Hiroshi.
Steve
True. It's so weird though. The Iranians finish their games. They get flown to Tijuana immediately that night in this country.
Bobby Kelly
Is that right?
Steve
Yeah.
Bobby Kelly
Damn.
Greg
It's pretty bad that they're. They're. It's like deported almost.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Yeah.
Greg
You know, basically.
Kaitlyn Palufo
I mean.
Greg
I mean. And they also got a goal taken away from them. You know this. The Iran. The Iran team, they took away a goal from them and they said sorry later after the game. My bad. It was a goal.
Steve
Haha.
Bobby Kelly
Really?
Greg
Yeah, they're them up little bit.
Bobby Kelly
Thank God they don't have nukes.
Matt
Yeah.
Greg
That we know of anymore.
Bobby Kelly
Good point. Nukes of hazard.
Steve
Yeah.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah. Also the. Oh, sorry. But there was a Norwegian guy in Buc EE's filming and he was just like, this is insane. This is what a country.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Every French person in a Costco or Walmart is a video I am double tapping.
Bobby Kelly
Bring it on.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Everything is so much.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah. You can buy a bed here.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Yeah, sure.
Greg
They would never go to, like, Biloxi, Mississippi. Of course, it's always New York or la. So now they're really seeing.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Yeah.
Greg
America, which kind of just. I kind of like it.
Bobby Kelly
It's great.
Steve
Well, Kansas, they say the people in Kansas are kind of welcoming to all these different people.
Greg
Yeah.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Yeah. The Algerian team, they're like out there with signs being like, welcome.
Greg
You know, there's one. One guy who's really mad the whole.
Usama Siddiqui
Oh, of course.
Greg
What the hell is this?
Kaitlyn Palufo
They're not showing that on TikTok.
Bobby Kelly
You couldn't get Sweden here.
Greg
Yeah.
Matt
I find the World cup to be the most underwhelming trophy in the history of sports. It's like.
Usama Siddiqui
It's a bad trophy.
Matt
It's a terrible trophy.
Bobby Kelly
It looks like a cup.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Small.
Bobby Kelly
I need him to pull up.
Matt
Oh, Salaki just went to take a. Oh. Or look at the wicked.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Yeah.
Matt
We need to see the World cup trophy.
Usama Siddiqui
He rubbed one out of the back.
Matt
Particularly if you could get it next to the other famous trophies.
Bobby Kelly
It's little.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Yeah, it's like the size of. Of a bottle of whiskey.
Matt
It's like a little ball.
Bobby Kelly
The World Cup. The world. It's terrible.
Greg
It's pretty bad.
Bobby Kelly
It should be like a Epcot Center. What is that thing in Queens? That big old globe.
Steve
Yeah.
Matt
See, like, it's like a little shitty. It looks shitty.
Bobby Kelly
Okay, which one?
Greg
Okay, that's it.
Kaitlyn Palufo
That's it.
Matt
Yeah. Fits in your hand.
Greg
It's lame. Yeah.
Bobby Kelly
That's worse than the MTV popcorn win. You know what I mean? When you win the. The MTV Awards. Yeah.
Greg
They still do those?
Matt
No, they don't do those, do they?
Bobby Kelly
I don't know. That was a good trip.
Kaitlyn Palufo
VMAs.
Greg
I mean, that's like. The Stanley cup is the coolest trophy in my opinion.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah.
Greg
And you can drink out of it.
Matt
And the hardest to win.
Greg
That's a party.
Matt
And the Rangers all pissed.
Bobby Kelly
At least the astronaut.
Greg
So lame.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Oh, yeah.
Matt
Yeah.
Kaitlyn Palufo
The moon man.
Greg
I think people would watch the Oscars more if the trophy was bigger. Oh, that's my. That's my take on how to get the Oscars more. Watch huge trophy.
Bobby Kelly
Peter Dinklage is out there.
Greg
Peter Dinklage side trophy.
Matt
Now this is one of the most depressing things in society to me because I had what matches had. If you Google the Stanley cup, you get pages and pages of the stupid coffee cup. Stanley Cup.
Usama Siddiqui
Why is that cup so pop popular?
Kaitlyn Palufo
Well, that one, as the token lady. It's just very insulated. It's cute. It has a straw. It goes all the way to the bottom and it's. And it doesn't spill. It's spill proof.
Usama Siddiqui
But doesn't every. Doesn't.
Kaitlyn Palufo
No, it does not.
Matt
Okay, Sam, you shut your mouth.
Kaitlyn Palufo
It fits in every cup holder.
Bobby Kelly
No, no. I'll tell you what it is. This cup is like Pete Davidson. Women only like it cuz other women like it. It's not cuz the cup is that great. Other women like the cup.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Well, it had this viral video.
Matt
The mug is round. The cup is round.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Yeah, I saw a Kardashian.
Bobby Kelly
I think I have a point.
Greg
What is happening?
Bobby Kelly
Pete Davidson, good guy, other women, funny guy, trying to save it. I'm not saying this cup is bad either. I'm just saying other women go, what's up with this?
Usama Siddiqui
It's a good cup. It's a fine cup.
Matt
Good cup.
Bobby Kelly
2F. Good bits.
Matt
Very nice.
Greg
A deadbeat cup over. No, it's a good cup.
Bobby Kelly
Great cup.
Usama Siddiqui
I like a cup like that, but I just don't understand the. The, the hysteria.
Matt
You don't know the cups.
Greg
Wait, why, why is there something that's 40, 20, 300? Why the price range so crazy different?
Kaitlyn Palufo
I mean that I don't.
Bobby Kelly
It's like Beanie Babies.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Yeah, I think there's.
Matt
All of our references are from 1990.
Bobby Kelly
It's like pogs
Greg
Mass reference.
Usama Siddiqui
Anyone got peeves?
Bobby Kelly
I got a peeve. I actually have a peeve. Yeah, I'm Proud of this. Peeve.
Usama Siddiqui
Peeve.
Bobby Kelly
All right, I hope we haven't done this one. You go to a rental car place or some place where you need help. You need a guy at the desk right when you're in line. You got the fucking, you know, the mouse maze. You're waiting in line. I'm next. Here we go. That guy goes on break. You ever have that right when you're next and the guy goes, I'm going to break. And you go, ah, there's like four people, you know, and you're like, ah, that guy's. He's closing up. He's finishing with the computer guy. And then he goes on break right when you're next. Drives me crazy.
Greg
I agree. Also, the person left is never the A team.
Kaitlyn Palufo
No, it's always.
Greg
It's always B team, Betty.
Matt
B team.
Kaitlyn Palufo
And they're pissed that they're still there.
Greg
Oh, yeah, yeah, that one's amazing.
Matt
To get rid of labor laws.
Steve
I was checking out of my hotel yesterday and there was a huge line and one person checking people in. And then the concierge guy is standing right there behind his little concierge desk. I'm like, dude, grab. Grab a. Let's work as a team here.
Greg
I agree.
Bobby Kelly
You're like, oh, there's another guy. No, he's a different guy.
Greg
Oh my God, you're so right. When a bar back is in the bar and he's not doing shit. Ah, king buddy. Take the towel off. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bobby Kelly
You could open beer.
Greg
That's so true. I hate that.
Bobby Kelly
Barback is a. Yeah. Gasket has a great bit about that.
Kaitlyn Palufo
I love a bar back.
Bobby Kelly
Why?
Kaitlyn Palufo
Oh, I date a bar.
Bobby Kelly
Oh, yeah, I've dated a lot of
Usama Siddiqui
barbacks are strong, cuz.
Kaitlyn Palufo
They're strong, they're fun. They still get free drinks.
Bobby Kelly
It's humble.
Greg
They have no future. Kind of none. Yeah, you want, you want the, you want the, the rag on them one?
Kaitlyn Palufo
Absolutely.
Usama Siddiqui
Of course.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Yeah. I want them with a list and a pencil in their hand. I want to go into the Mason.
Matt
That's what a lisp. Oh, I like you talking about specific fetishes.
Kaitlyn Palufo
I'm literally thinking of one guy.
Usama Siddiqui
Yeah.
Matt
I need a man with a lisp.
Bobby Kelly
Joe Lisp.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Yeah.
Greg
That's a great pet peeve. I. I really appreciate it. I had that in Portland. Had that in, in Seattle a couple times.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah, the hotel is a big one. When you're just waiting. There's like three desks also.
Usama Siddiqui
It's like, you know, the person just traveled to get There, Right.
Bobby Kelly
They don't care. They don't care.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Or when you do the. The walk up and they go, actually. And then they make you step back.
Bobby Kelly
O.
Usama Siddiqui
Actually is never.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Yeah, that actually.
Greg
Yeah, yeah.
Bobby Kelly
You know what else I don't love? If no one else is chiming in the bell on a hotel desk. They hate when you hit that ding. Right? They don't put it out there. I'm dying to hit that bell. Everybody wants to go, yeah. It's sitting right there teasing you like a stripper you can't touch.
Steve
It's like the flight attendant. You got the light.
Bobby Kelly
Oh, they hate that light. They hate it.
Greg
Oh, right.
Steve
And I overuse it. Like if I have two people sleeping next to me. Because I would get the window if I want a cup of coffee. Coffee. Ding. Coffee. One thing, I'll do it twice in a fly.
Usama Siddiqui
I used to love. Remember on Virgin Airlines, you could. You could just do the. On the, on the, on the little screen. You like coffee?
Bobby Kelly
Really?
Steve
It was the greatest.
Bobby Kelly
I've never knew that.
Usama Siddiqui
Oh, my God, I missed that airline.
Steve
This Virgin was the best.
Greg
Airplane pet fever saying, you know what? The lights don't aim right anymore, so I'm trying to sleep. The person next to me got a. Got a reading thing. But that light's hitting me in the eyes.
Bobby Kelly
Why?
Greg
Why is that his light hitting me in the eyes?
Bobby Kelly
Easy, Greg. Getting close to home there.
Greg
I hate that. I hate that a lot.
Bobby Kelly
That's a good one. That's the worst.
Steve
I hate trying to watch an in flight movie. Cause you always think, oh, you know, I got one on my phone, but I can now watch it on the screen. I'll do that. And then on your left you can see the.
Usama Siddiqui
I know.
Steve
And then it freezes.
Greg
It's always a pivotal scene.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Matt
True.
Usama Siddiqui
Someone posted recently they were watching. I forgot who it was, but someone posted it was literally the scene where Joe Pesci's about to get murdered in Goodfellow. Fellas. And it was like you've been interrupted by your pilot just watching the Gun.
Greg
Yeah, yeah.
Bobby Kelly
Damn.
Greg
They don't censor the movies anymore in the other.
Bobby Kelly
No, no.
Kaitlyn Palufo
You watch people full on, straight up.
Greg
This kid's watching like Basic Instinct.
Matt
Yeah, yeah.
Bobby Kelly
Remember this?
Greg
Yeah.
Usama Siddiqui
Kind of a fun movie, actually. All the nudity aside, it's still kind of fun.
Greg
It's fun.
Steve
Wayne Knight Greg.
Bobby Kelly
Do you remember Plane Rise where everyone would watch the same movie?
Matt
Yes.
Bobby Kelly
We used to go country communal and
Greg
you have to all watch the same movie.
Matt
Yeah.
Steve
Well, did you see, when the Knicks won, the reaction on the flight.
Greg
That was cool.
Steve
No, because everybody had it streaming on their screens and the flight went bananas.
Bobby Kelly
Wow. If you muted that and put 911 footage, same thing.
Usama Siddiqui
But if you're not that big a fan, then, though, if you're flying during that game, because there's a chance you wouldn't have a. There's a chance you wouldn't have a tv. And if you're willing to take that.
Bobby Kelly
Interesting.
Greg
A lot of old school New Yorkers do not like the sort of bandwagoners. But I'm like, no, I'm okay throughout the show. Like, the girls are hot. They're hanging out. Not you. I'm saying, I'm saying, like, it's fun when girls are into the stuff, you know?
Bobby Kelly
I agree.
Greg
I, I like, I like the vibe.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah.
Usama Siddiqui
I'm happy. I'm happy. How much Nick's. This is like a little, like, weird utopia I'm living in right now where just everyone's walking down the street and Nick stuff.
Bobby Kelly
And I was like, oh, my God.
Usama Siddiqui
I thought I'd never see the day.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah, people are licking toes out here.
Matt
We're so. We're so different. We're so different. I'm like, outrage. I see girls with pink Red Sox hats on and I want to just smack them in the face.
Bobby Kelly
Really.
Matt
Get the out of here. Get out of here. I'm just trolling Caitlin on that one, but you know what I mean,
Kaitlyn Palufo
a
Greg
hot girl means nothing to you.
Bobby Kelly
You.
Matt
No, this is my pet peeve is on this side. You can, you can enjoy the n.
Bobby Kelly
Hey, I moved to New York.
Matt
You don't get a carousel post and to march at the parade.
Bobby Kelly
This is just stock from Baltimore or many other people.
Matt
I love Stavi. I love the. He's the great guy. And they go to your house, give you a hug. I texted you. Congrats, buddy. But I this idea of like, well, I love the Bucks six months ago, but today I'm gonna do a carousel. And by the way, you go to the comments and there's plenty people lighting them up with the same.
Bobby Kelly
Oh, really?
Matt
Someone's like, you wrote three paragraphs to say you're a bandwagon fan. And there's a few others like that.
Greg
You're on this. A pet peeve as a human being
Bobby Kelly
is groups, you know, Jews just saying, like, you gotta.
Matt
If you were to fight a fan as a child
Usama Siddiqui
in Baltimore. So we didn't have a team. So I, I, I'm with you. Like, but he Is. And when I had a show on msg, you. You had a role on that show. So did he.
Matt
Oh, oh, the tv, the channel. I see what you mean.
Greg
Yeah.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah.
Matt
I thought you meant the Madison Square Garden. I was like, I didn't do that show.
Bobby Kelly
And we've gone to some games with Stav.
Greg
Yeah. So, yeah, Stav is a Ravens guy. Huge Ravens guy. So if you're a super fan of one team, I kind of respect you.
Matt
Now, how do you feel about Ari Shafir as a Yankees and Cowboys fan from Maryland?
Usama Siddiqui
I didn't know he was a Cowboys fan.
Bobby Kelly
It's a little cheating.
Steve
I went to a Cowboys game in Dallas with him one time.
Usama Siddiqui
Really?
Bobby Kelly
Yeah.
Steve
He. He went fucking crazy.
Usama Siddiqui
I don't. I just don't trust people who. With those allegiances. Cause you just grew up picking the best, so it's like, you're gonna fuck. I, I. That's like you're gonna fuck someone over at some point.
Steve
It feels like Dallas, though, is they're America's team. And I do feel like there was a certain time where, you know, Roger Staubach, and it just was a team that the country came together for. And I kind of feel like it's like that with the Knicks right now. And people don't like to like New York teams, but they have. And it's funny, got, like, somebody like you who, you know, proselytizes about their team. The Knicks are great. Knicks are great. And then too many people like him, you go, no, you're not allowed to. Like.
Usama Siddiqui
I don't feel he feels that way. I don't feel. I think. I think if it makes you happy, I'm happy that this is what it takes to get you into basketball. I'm okay with it because I love it, so. I love that other people are getting into it. But, yeah, I mean, this, like, it definitely feels better when you suffer, you know, when, you know this hit.
Steve
But it.
Usama Siddiqui
It almost hit too hard. Like, this 10 weeks for me was like, what the. It was the biggest nut ever. That when I finally. That when it was released, I was
Matt
just like,
Usama Siddiqui
I didn't know how to conduct myself.
Greg
I don't know that post, not Nick's clarity.
Usama Siddiqui
It was crazy.
Matt
What's crazy, though, is then you feel. You feel that way, and you're like, nothing could ever. And then the next April, round one, game one, you're like, you, you. You're like, you just won. But it just comes back.
Usama Siddiqui
I'll let you know. Probably it comes back.
Greg
You're, you're all Boston. Boston, right.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Everything.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah.
Matt
I got no respect for these other,
Greg
like, intense about their.
Bobby Kelly
Philly's up there.
Greg
Philly's up there.
Kaitlyn Palufo
There.
Greg
I grew up in Dallas, so it was big Cowboys town, but Mavs, I was there when Nowitzki won.
Usama Siddiqui
That was an awesome.
Greg
And it was crazy. It was the first time people were outside in Dallas.
Matt
They were down 02, weren't they?
Greg
Yeah, too. And.
Usama Siddiqui
And Dirk had already lost to that Heat team. And people say that's the heaviest ring ever because he had to go through, like, Kobe, the KC with Duran and Westbrook and Harden. And then he took down the. The Heatles, the LeBron Heat.
Greg
And they were evil. LeBron was evil back then. He was like a young hater.
Usama Siddiqui
And.
Greg
Yeah. But Dirk was sick the first game. They were like. And they mocked him. Mocked him. And that was like. The whole world came on our side.
Matt
Right.
Usama Siddiqui
They were so likable. That match.
Greg
It was great. It was great.
Bobby Kelly
Was that Mark Cuban out there too? Oh, yeah.
Usama Siddiqui
Great team.
Matt
Well, that's a. The. I had this experience, but then also everyone turns like the Patriots in 2001, 2002 Super Bowl. The whole world was rooting for them as it was post 9 11. They were the underdogs. Rookie quarterback. The Rams had already won. It was this 911 thing. And so the world.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Hilarious.
Matt
What's that? Because the planes took off in Boston. People were. No, you dummy. Because they're the Patriots. Yeah, but red, white and blue Patriots. No, no. Everybody was rooting for. America was rooting for them. They were an underdog. We just been attacked. The Rams. Pipe down if you don't know the second team, but the Patriots. Patriotic Patriot, you dummy.
Usama Siddiqui
And the one one, Right?
Steve
So.
Usama Siddiqui
Yes, I hear you.
Matt
They're the Patriots. You're missing the point here.
Bobby Kelly
About plastic mugs again.
Matt
I just can't believe this isn't getting through the fate. Red light and blue.
Usama Siddiqui
I got to pee.
Bobby Kelly
All right, we got to pee.
Steve
There we go.
Matt
I thought you said you have to pee.
Usama Siddiqui
That too.
Bobby Kelly
But he always. He peed three times already.
Usama Siddiqui
Peak like crazy. But that's another reason I go to that parade. I need a. I need a bathroom. From nearby. I need access to pee.
Matt
I remember we went to the movies together, and you and I both went to the piss, like, three times. You made me feel better about my life. I was like, I think I have cancer. Prostate cancer. And you're like 10 years younger than me, and you peed like twice as much. And I was like, I'm Good.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah, true.
Greg
I'm a big movie pisser.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah.
Greg
One time I was watching Black Swan that filmed. So I. All the. All dude friends are watching it. Because you heard about the scene, right? And then I go to piss. I come back like, dude, you missed the. I missed the eating out scene. It was one bathroom breaks worth of time. Oh, was that scene.
Matt
You know, there's a website that does this. They watch the movie and then they post the best time to piss.
Greg
Oh, really?
Matt
I forget the name of the website, but yeah.
Bobby Kelly
Oh, best time to piss.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Yeah.
Bobby Kelly
Not the nudes.
Matt
I thought it was gonna be Dr. No, no. When you can piss without missing anything.
Bobby Kelly
Wow, that's great.
Matt
Sorry. I want to hear your peeve. I got excited about it.
Usama Siddiqui
It's movie related, actually. When you're seeing someone and they're just fucking tough with it, like, you can't find a middle ground on movies. And I'm pretty easy, but she's hit me with like three gay movies in a row and I'm like, I could do one.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah.
Usama Siddiqui
I can't do only gay movies. So now to like, now I don't know what the equivalent is for women, but I'm like trying to get revenge with my picks. So I'm picking like Seagal movies just to throw her. I don't even really enjoy these movies. I'm just trying to get back, actually.
Matt
By the way, give me her number. I watch gay movies all day.
Greg
I just piss him.
Usama Siddiqui
I can do one. I just can't do only gay.
Bobby Kelly
What are we talking? Broke back? Call me by your name. Broke back.
Usama Siddiqui
No, it was a single man, which I was like, it's a good movie,
Greg
but I don't know.
Bobby Kelly
Single man.
Matt
What about Stranger by the Lake? At all?
Bobby Kelly
That's.
Greg
Don't give her ideas, dude.
Matt
No, but if you show her this movie, it's. It's super gay, but it's an amazing. We watched it on our picture. It's a great, great movie. But it's like, shits me. It's like pulling out and coming on the guy.
Bobby Kelly
Gay. You're watching it like that.
Greg
Oh, it's gay.
Matt
Have you seen it? Gay.
Steve
I was 15. We used to go to this mall in White Plains. You know the Galleria Mall in White Plains? It was like where every kid in Westchester would kind of converge on the weekends. So me and my buddy Sneaky Pete smoked some tie stick.
Matt
Sneaky Pete.
Steve
And then we meet these two girls from Yonkers, and we're 15 years old and we go, do you guys want to like go see a movie. So we go to the movie theater and. And the next movie playing was a film called Cruising with Al Pacino. So we walk in and we have no fucking idea what it is. We just know it's Al Pacino. So we sit.
Usama Siddiqui
This sounds like one tough movie.
Steve
It's about guys in leather cruising and fucking each other up the. And so we watched the first gay scene and me and Sneaky Pete go. We gotta go to the bathroom and we just. And these two 15 year old girls are just sitting alone in a movie theater.
Bobby Kelly
Classic. Sneaky Pete.
Usama Siddiqui
I love that you're wearing that hat. And have a friend named Sneaky Pete. Yeah, that took us all back.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Yeah.
Bobby Kelly
On paper this movie sounds great. Cruisin's a cool word. And it's Pacino. Look, he looks tough.
Matt
It's not.
Steve
I only know the first nine minutes.
Usama Siddiqui
Okay.
Bobby Kelly
I gotta theater. Yeah.
Usama Siddiqui
I love the palma dude.
Greg
But you did a couple of gay roles. He was never above it. Right. He did Dog Afternoon where he was trying to get the money surgery.
Bobby Kelly
True, true.
Greg
The cowboy one Gigolo.
Usama Siddiqui
That's a sneaky gay. A Sneaky Pete type of sneaky, sneaky dog.
Greg
It's a sneaky gay sneaky ski.
Matt
Sneaky Sarah and I saw the master in the theater and there was a bunch. There was like a family of black people behind us. And then there's a scene where everyone's just naked, like full nudity. And they're dancing around just dicks everywhere. And they all got got up there.
Bobby Kelly
No. Hell no.
Matt
No way. No way.
Greg
Why would that was even build as a black family movie. Like why would they even.
Matt
I think this is long enough a gun that people just went to movies.
Bobby Kelly
Whoa.
Matt
I'm looking at somebody's pud Richard Gear
Bobby Kelly
which I think he should have fluffed. I watched that when I was a kid even I was like, oh, he up.
Matt
It looks sever, doesn't it?
Kaitlyn Palufo
Yeah.
Greg
Howard either like you know, really. Everyone thinks he has a small one. Bob Howard wasn't Terrence Howard.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Tower penis.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah, I'm sure it's better than gear.
Steve
Yeah. What's the biggest schlong shot in the movie? Was anything?
Usama Siddiqui
Oh yeah. The dicks in any given Sunday.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Given Sunday. They're bad.
Bobby Kelly
Oh, wow.
Greg
It's rough.
Bobby Kelly
Wow. No wonder he's out of movie. He has. He never worked again.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Oh my God.
Bobby Kelly
It's hard out here for a pimp.
Usama Siddiqui
It looks like a pug's nose. That's rough.
Bobby Kelly
Oh, wow.
Steve
It doesn't clear as balls. That's a bad song.
Bobby Kelly
Who's that behind Grower?
Greg
You don't know?
Kaitlyn Palufo
But like, yeah, no one grows that much.
Bobby Kelly
Okay.
Greg
I mean, it's a. It's a clit.
Bobby Kelly
Also, do a sit up or something. He's jiggling right out of there.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Yikes.

Bobby Kelly
Yeah. I wasn't that impressed. Everybody's like, he's got a huge hog. I was like, yeah, it's. It's a normal hog.
Usama Siddiqui
Well, he's six, eight, so maybe it's like Barry Kogan. Oh, they said Hulk Hogan.
Bobby Kelly
I think he's 5, 7.
Greg
Saltburn penis at the end of.
Bobby Kelly
You know that was a rift around. Yeah, that. That. The grave scene was a. Ad lib.

Greg
No. I liked it.
Matt
It's fun.
Usama Siddiqui
I thought it was really fun.
Bobby Kelly
It's fun. Yeah.

It makes no sense, but it's really fun.

Bobby Kelly
Yeah.
Matt
It's crazy.
Steve

Greg
Guys, we're making stuff on Instagram.
Bobby Kelly
Hey. Now we're trying. We're shooting an October. October.
Matt
So that's not trying.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Exciting.
Greg
Amazing.
Matt
That's doing.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Yeah.
Bobby Kelly
What?
Matt
That's not trying to make a movie. You're making a movie.
Bobby Kelly
We're making a movie.
Greg
Amazing. Call sheets are coming out and stuff.
Usama Siddiqui
We're working on it.
Bobby Kelly
We're getting there. Slow down. I've never heard of a call sheet. Is that that prop BET website? Kelsey,
Matt
the obsession was fun and funny and scary. It was great.
Bobby Kelly
I enjoyed it. The acting was great. The girl was amazing and I appreciated
Matt
that the director came out was like this massive plot hole. It doesn't hold up. It doesn't make sense.
Bobby Kelly
Thank God.
Matt
It's good. Which is good.
Bobby Kelly
It is good because there's a lot of them. Yeah.
Steve
I just saw the new Spielberg movie two nights ago.
Matt
Disclosure.
Steve
It's so fun. I didn't hate it. I thought it was fine. You know I hate it. Think about Spielberg is he's made the greatest Alien movies of all time. And then the fucking alien comes out at the end and he's got a skinny body and long fingers and a big oval like the same alien as every movie since the 1950s.
Matt
Sounds like kind of a hot body if you ask me.
Bobby Kelly
Pull up the alien. I want to see this guy.
Matt
I hated the movie. I was at the premiere and he spoke and everything, but silly.
Bobby Kelly
A different alien. Fill up his feet too. What kind of dick? Oh, that guy's got a crazy hoe.
Usama Siddiqui
Come on.
Steve
But he was.
Greg
Would never be big enough.
Kaitlyn Palufo
It would never be big enough.
Usama Siddiqui
He's got a bigger hug.
Bobby Kelly
Strong, nice, healthy heteroceter. Conversation. Obsession.
Usama Siddiqui
What? The art director came out.
Bobby Kelly
She said, I only made $10,000 on this.
Greg
What?
Usama Siddiqui
Yeah.
Bobby Kelly
Well, it's a low budget movie.
Usama Siddiqui
I know, but I deserve a bonus.
Greg
Ah, she made the deal before, I guess, huh? She did.
Usama Siddiqui
And he and the director responded and
Bobby Kelly
he said the people who got money back were the people that risked money up front. That's fair.
Greg
You're sort of a day player. You were a contract director.
Bobby Kelly
That's fair. Yeah.
Greg
You think that's fair?
Bobby Kelly
I think it's fair.
Greg
I think it's fair.
Matt
Well, is that. Is it standard for movie for the art director to get a percentage of the movie? I've never heard of that in my life.
Greg
It's a standard thing.
Matt
Yeah, yeah. I've never heard of that.
Steve
With a limited release, which is probably sag, Aftra will make a limited release deal with everybody. Everybody. And I know the actors in success get more money. Like you accept lower than scale because it's low budget. But then it. It goes up as the movie.
Bobby Kelly
Nicholson did that on Batman and made a fortune.
Steve
Yeah.
Bobby Kelly
In the back end.
Usama Siddiqui
I think he still gets paid from Batman movies. That's crazy.
Bobby Kelly
He's not dead.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Still very much alive.
Greg
Nicholson. Although he looks rough.
Steve
He does looking great.
Usama Siddiqui
I think he's. He's 90, dude. He might pull it up. 89. Maybe he's up there.
Matt
Wow.
Bobby Kelly
Let's take a bet.
Greg
I saw that one romcom recently. He was in as good as it gets.
Bobby Kelly
Wow.
Steve
Loved it.
Bobby Kelly
89 Oscar.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Wow.
Usama Siddiqui
Really good.
Greg
I movie dude. Never heard of it. I was like, this is fun and different.
Bobby Kelly
Oh, yeah.
Greg
The script isn't normal. It's like unique.
Bobby Kelly
I was like, you make me want to be a better man.
Matt
Nicholson was kind of older when he really broke.
Greg
That's true.
Bobby Kelly
So Joe List.
Matt
Yes.
Bobby Kelly
We do this thing on this pod called Working on Any Bits. Well, we gotta go in a minute.
Steve
All right.
Bobby Kelly
17 people in the room. They're all good comics here. Working on Any Bits.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Anyone?
Bobby Kelly
Well, it's gonna be a while, but we didn't get any peeves from everybody else.
Matt
I'm working on a bit about how the Patriot. The name Patriot means a lover of America, somebody that defends America.
Steve
My peeve is try to get out of your. Your Microsoft Word contract. Like, I found this place where you can buy Microsoft. Microsoft Word is a fucking annual fee of like $150 a year. Yeah. For a piece of simple fucking software.
Bobby Kelly
I didn't know that.
Steve
Yeah. So if you. And then I found a place where you can actually buy it. It's like a little glitch. So I bought it and then I tried to get out of my Microsoft Word.
Greg
It is.
Steve
Is impossible. They put you into, you know, big companies, they just put you into a circle of hit one, hit five. Then you get somebody and they give you another number and you go on the website and they ask you for serial. I don't have the fucking serial number for my. That's my pet peeve.
Bobby Kelly
That's cruel. What's the payment a month?
Steve
It's like 15 bucks a month.
Bobby Kelly
Oh, shit. That's substantial.
Matt
Now you're sound like Sam.
Steve
I'm trying to clean up subscriptions. I have so many.
Bobby Kelly
They add up.
Steve
Yeah.
Usama Siddiqui
Bobby, this is a segment of Pogo. Well, that's a bad deal,
Matt
Bobby Kelly, you know, what's the sponsor that goes through all your stuff and take your subscriptions.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Oh, rocket.
Matt
Rocket money. Bobby went on.
Bobby Kelly
He had 83.
Kaitlyn Palufo
I didn't know there was 83 anything.
Steve
83 things you could subscribe that might
Matt
not be the exact. It was like something in that ballpark.
Bobby Kelly
Wow.
Usama Siddiqui
Subscribe to Haribo Gummies.
Matt
You talk about being an addict. This guy just weighs 380 pounds. Can't drink, can't do drugs. He's like, I have 90 subscriptions.
Bobby Kelly
Home and Garden. Wired magazine highlights.
Steve
I have a Patreon for Ralphie May's podcast.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Nice.
Matt
I'm not working on any bits, Matt. I love you, though.
Bobby Kelly
You gotta pee there.
Kaitlyn Palufo
I gotta peeve. I gotta pee. I'm watching the World cup and I hate it when Americans root for other countries.
Bobby Kelly
Oh, what I'm talking about, you're American.
Matt
Yes.
Kaitlyn Palufo
You can't root for America in the Olympics. And then it comes to the World Cup. All of a sudden you're French. Get out of here, here, here.
Matt
Who's St. Ros rooting for?
Steve
Greece.
Kaitlyn Palufo
I mean, they're not in it, to be honest.
Steve
What if you're not rooting for America as a country right now?
Kaitlyn Palufo
Doesn't matter.
Steve
You're American Soccer.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Okay, sorry. Stinky Pink. And get behind America. Get behind Pulisic. All right, we're gonna do it. This we're not, but we're gonna do very.
Usama Siddiqui
Even if you're not a hockey person. It was so cool when they won hockey.
Bobby Kelly
Of course.
Greg
Yeah.
Bobby Kelly
You gotta get behind the best. Yeah.
Steve
Yep.
Kaitlyn Palufo
Yeah. These Spanish people don't clip that up.
Bobby Kelly
But wow.

In this lively, inside-baseball episode, Mark and Sam are joined by NYC standups Caitlin Peluffo, Usama Siddiquee, Joe List, and Greg Fitzsimmons, fresh off their run on Netflix's "Funny AF". The panel dives deep into their experiences on comedy competition shows, particularly "Funny AF" and "Last Comic Standing", swapping stories about the grind of stand-up, the stress and quirks of TV sets, legendary roasts, and the sometimes surreal effects of newfound attention. The conversation swings from practical advice for comics to hilarious peeves, road stories, sports fandom, and plenty of comedic roasts—a must-listen for comedy fans and comedians alike.
00:19–22:40
Entry & Exposure: Caitlin, Usama, and Greg share their journeys getting onto the show, dealing with online sign-ups, and the bizarre viral "fan" Instagram accounts trying to get random people cast.
“They had a post on Instagram, tag a friend… And here comes all the homeless weirdos. ‘I’m good. I can do it.’” — Greg (00:35)
Old-School Comedy Clubs: The crew reminisces about bringing up open mic days and the ‘comic strip lottery’ grind, including horror stories of following bombing acts and navigating outdated gatekeeping.
Casting & Vetting: Discussion of the difference between being cast for TV competitions now vs. earlier days, with more psychological and social media vetting.
“We also went through our Instagram and everything to make sure we weren’t saying like crazy.” — Kaitlyn (03:25)
"They had a psych eval person therapist before you even got on the show." — Greg (39:23)
The Experience: They detail the stress of multiple rounds, adapting sets, and the curveballs of crowd work and roast rounds—especially roasting Marshawn Lynch (who, apparently, wasn't told he’d be roasted).
“They don’t tell Marshawn that we’re roasting him. So he starts talking back while I’m roasting. I’m like, ‘Buddy…’ ” — Greg (12:34)
Growth in Audience: Since the show, club dates are selling out, agents are calling, and the cast notes the surreal jump in fan diversity and random DM attention.
“My audience looks like a UN meeting.” — Caitlin (05:23)
16:04–30:36
Writing & Delivery: The group swaps classic roast jokes, big and small, and discusses the challenge of writing last-minute, risky material for big opportunities, the ethical lines of roasting people absent/unwilling, and the tradition's evolution.
“I think my favorite roast joke is: ‘Ice T, you’re so old, the first thing you bought with your money was your freedom.’” — Bobby (26:15)
Old Roast War Stories: They reminisce on legendary roasts—Chevy Chase, Larry the Cable Guy—and the sometimes dark reality behind the scenes (Geraldo’s meltdown, Artie Lange as caretaker, etc.).
“Chevy wouldn't say hi to anyone. Sat with sunglasses... It was famously the worst roast of all time.” — Steve (28:38)
35:38–43:12
Material Burn: Contestants lament the speed at which competition shows can eat an act—how a 20+ minute act might need to be “burned” for TV, and how tough it is to generate new, A+ material under pressure.
“They wanted me to shoot a Netflix special with stuff I just did in the final.” — Greg (20:34)
Post-Show Bump & New Pressures: The panel jokes about the ups and downs of immediate fame, including “menu upgrades” at clubs, suddenly sold-out rooms, but also the stress of not disappointing as a new draw.
63:31–69:05
Pet Peeves Segment:
“You go to a rental car place… the guy goes on break right when you’re next. Drives me crazy.” — Bobby (63:36)
“I hate it when Americans root for other countries in the World Cup… All of a sudden, you’re French? Get out of here!” — Caitlin (85:28)
53:09–73:33
NYC Sports Mania: The conversation veers to the Knicks’ resurgence, local sports fandom, and the authenticity (or lack thereof) of certain fans—
“I see girls with pink Red Sox hats on… I want to smack them in the face.” — Matt (68:52)
Sports Cross-Fandom: Amusing debates about Ari Shaffir being a Yankees/Cowboys fan from Maryland, the sins of picking “winning” teams as your own, and the agony/ecstasy of true sports suffering.
“If you just grew up picking the best, you’re gonna fuck someone over at some point.” — Usama (70:28)
On Comedy Show Fanbases:
"My audience looks like just a UN meeting."
— Caitlin Palufo (05:23)
On Roasting Styles:
“Best roast joke of the night was Ron’s: ‘Kevin, you look like a slave you get for free when you buy Marshawn Lynch.’”
— Greg (23:04)
On Traveling Comics’ Hardship:
“Your call time is 9; you’re not coming in at 4, they're stewing you.”
— Greg (24:12)
On Microsoft Word Subscription Hell:
“Microsoft Word—annual fee of like $150 a year—for a piece of simple fucking software.”
— Steve (83:21)
