Having A Good Time with Dusty Slay
 Comedian Dusty Slay is back again and Bobby reveals that he did not like him when they first met because of his salesmanship.  Dusty was opening for Bob and wanted to supplement his income by selling merch.  A few headlining comics are rumored to lowball the money to the other comedians on their shows.  Dusty comes from the Nashville scene with Nate Bargatze's gang, so he hasn't heard one of their favorite old stories about comedy court.  In the early days, Jay did a few shows with Bobby and had to be the driver and opener.  Bob assaults him while he's sleeping and then ultimately stiffs him on the cut of the money!  The Comedy Cellar comedians hold a full court hearing at the back table to determine who was at fault. 
Go to DustySlay.com for tour dates and info!  He has a new Netflix special out now called "Wet Heat."

 The Great Christine Marie Evans has a milestone birthday and the gang is celebrating her.  Bobby pampered her with thoughtful gifts.

He is quite angry about it and blames his wife for not having his back.

Unconventionally Handsome w/Mike Feeney
 Mike Feeney is funny, has fantastic hair, and deserves to be on television.  A debate is sparked about which comedians are classically and unconventionally good looking.  Bobby contends that Chris Distefano's features are a little off-kilter and no one agrees with him.  In trying to name attractive comedians, Colin Jost's fitness came into question.  For some reason, Christine believes that she can beat up Scarlett Johansson in a street fight.  Mike Feeney is looking for a podcast co-host on his podcast called "Co-Host Wanted."  
@immikefeeney for clips and tour information.

Tammy The Protector
 At Jay's stand-up gig in Charlotte, a security person named Tammy was assigned to him and she was a bit overprotective. | Jacob plays a video of a female cop getting manhandled on a traffic stop.  Bobby counters with footage of a Muslim man at an airport knocking out lady officers one by one. | Jay watched Nick Offerman's new movie "Sovereign" which is based on a true story, where a man turns to extremism because he thinks the government's power is fake.  Jacob loves to watch sovereign citizens filibustering in court with their nonsense.

Life Lessons with Roy Wood Jr.
 Stand-up comic Roy Wood Jr. is also an author and is back on The Bonfire to promote his new book "The Man Of Many Fathers."  Roy's father was a civil rights journalist and womanizer.  He relates to Bobby about growing up without a dad who was present and tying to raise his own child without knowing fatherly love.  As a kid, Roy chose his sneakers based on being just cool enough not to get bullied over. Jay brings up the topic of tattoos and remembers Joe DeRosa getting ink because George Carlin said something generic to him.  
Roy Wood Jr's book "The Man Of Many Fathers: Life Lessons Disguised as a Memoir" is for sale anywhere you buy books.
