  1. Student Bodies Magazine

    Episode 1307

    Show notes

    Bobby does a gig in New Jersey for a bunch of auto mechanics at a ballroom. The audience was filled with serious, hard working men that were hard to make laugh. It got so bad that Bob had to make a brown-nosing speech at the end. At the show, a woman in charge said that she interviewed Bobby 20 years ago. It was for a local New Jersey skin magazine and she gave Bob the article. Jay reads it on the air and Bobby comes off as a ham who is trying to sound famous.

  2. Boston's Best Comics

    Episode 1306

    Show notes

    An unknown journalist published a bracket of the best comedians to come out of Boston. Surely the great Robert Kelly would be on that list, right? The guys go through the brackets and chose the funny person they think should advance. Many in the ranking system are not even comedians and Bobby gets a little heated. There must be some acknowledgement of Bobby's contribution to Boston comedy. | Jay is excited for Philadelphia as LeBron James takes over the city before his first game with the 6ers.

    Comedian Jermaine Fowler goes way back with Jay and Bob. Bobby used to bully him at the Comedy Cellar and now he's returned with a new movie Terrestrial which comes out in theaters tomorrow! The movie was filmed in Phil Spector's old mansion in L.A. There's not a lot of evidence of Phil left in the home except for one creepy room. | The guys haven't seen Jermaine in a while so they catch him up on all the cringe videos they've unearthed, including Keith Robinson's comedy gang and Big Jay early pandering stand-up.
