What happens when you mix a comedy tour, a laid-back diabetic roommate, and the chaos of late-night gaming? You get a whirlwind adventure that promises laughs and some unexpected life lessons. Join me, Bobby J Cox, as I hit the road with my pal Cactus Tate, navigating cities from Miami to Sacramento. Along the way, I grapple with the joys and challenges of touring, quitting nicotine, and the art of meal prepping. My trusty companion Zach adds his own spice to this journey with his unique approach to managing diabetes, resulting in some truly hilarious predicaments—like the time we ended up in a surreal late-night emergency involving Madden and mysterious shouts of doom.

Imagine being jolted awake by your roommate's cries of impending doom, only to discover the real emergency might just be the gaming console. Listen as I share the wild tale of a supposed diabetic crisis that left me ready to take on imaginary intruders, all while entangled in the confusion of learning Madden's controls. Zach's stubbornness in the face of a real medical emergency makes for a comedic yet tense tale, filled with cockroach conspiracies and hospital refusals. It's a rollercoaster of emotions that highlights the unpredictability of life when health scares collide with sleep-deprived imaginations.

But it’s not all chaos and cockroach capers. I also reflect on the beauty and madness of pursuing a comedy career, from watching the SNL 50th anniversary special to the joy of performing at iconic comedy clubs. There's a shared camaraderie in this world, whether it's spotting old friends like John Lovitz and Nate Bargatze or appreciating the humor of a New Zealand comic. As the tour approaches, I ponder the struggles of job satisfaction and the unique path that led me here—from firefighting to the comedy stage. Dive into this episode for a hearty mix of humor, heartfelt moments, and a reminder that life’s chaos can be the best punchline.

Laughter is our guide as we explore the peculiar blend of Southern charm and modern living, all wrapped up with an invitation to my live shows at the famous Velveeta Room.
