I completely understand where Robert Kelly is coming from. It's his conclusions that are fucked up. He has a warped view of the cosmos that has jaded him from the world.

I don't only mean this, but loving someone, but not being able to share pleasure because that might put them in a bad light? Wow, that's one fucked up head (probably two, actually).

No, I think they've heard it all and it gets to a point where things aren't laugh out loud funny anymore.

He chuckled at Keith a couple times for sure, but if you surround yourself with other comedians, you do get desensitized.

I'm a photographer and will flip through amazing photography picking out the mistakes. Or I'll see this really cool image but immediately think "eh, seen that before" and it loses it's impact.

I'm trying to figure the guy out. He sounds like a calm John F O'Donnell and you could hear little jokes sprinkled throughout the story "not until I got sober at 15". Still trying to decide if this guy was totally on the level. He said, "I love my wife" way too much as well.

I've read that it takes 3 generations to break the abuse loop.

You get hard core abused. You vow you will never abuse your children the way your dad abused you. You end up marrying someone similar to your dad because that is what you know. Your husband abuses your kids and you are kindof dismissive but try to shield your children. Your children see how fucked up things are and vow to never abuse their children. That last generation is when it sinks in and if the person is very diligent, they break the cycle.

I'm in that third generation. I married a man completely the opposite of my dad who is sweet and kind and gentle and a fabulous father. When I feel my rage build up and recognize some of my traits as my dad's, I shut down and keep it in. That will always be with me, but I will NOT pass it on to my kids. It will stop with me.

when he said it with no backstory and paused a bit, it sounded like it was. Sorry to doubt.

Kudo Keith and Chemda!

Like old school musicians, you know how to play the spaces as well as the notes. You kept quiet and let Robert spill himself out and you didn't talk over him, but you gently pushed him along, asking the right questions at the right time to keep him going. I was glued to my speakers most of this show.

Excellent interviewing!

Sounds like a lot of "ifs".... Keeping in the rage works for a lot of ppl... its those ones that express it all of the time you need to worry about...

Apart from surface stuff like similarities in accent Robert's not like JFOD.

Robert has a lot of opinions which, right or wrong, he's thought about a lot.

JFOD is smart but 98% of the time when he opens his mouth he's not thinking at all.
