Well, I'm Bobby Jayox, your audacious host for Discombobulated, and we're about to enter an uncensored realm of discussions where nothing is off-limits. This episode is a panoptic view of life's quirks, featuring my comedic hustle, the launch of Discombobulated Koozies, and a deep dive into the balancing act between slumber and productivity.Can you guess what's more intriguing than a peek into the stand-up scene or the launch of new merch? It's the exploration of human sexuality and the enigma surrounding asexuality. We'll unmask the misconceptions and shed light on the fact that asexuality isn't synonymous with a lack of sex drive. As we jump from one fascinating topic to the next, we'll also discuss the grandeur of weddings, the possible offensiveness of dressing up for sex, and the timeless pursuit of acquiring washboard abs.Ever had the experience of being so stoned that reading becomes an adventure? Let's revisit those moments, as we let our minds wander into the nostalgia of childhood book memories and the impact of technology on reading. We'll also navigate the labyrinth of maintaining motivation for a healthy lifestyle and the ritual of hitting the gym. So, fasten your seatbelts for an episode peppered with laughter, heart, and a fresh take on life, love, and the in-betweens.

Ever wanted to know the terrifying thrill of a botched séance or the sheer terror of Ouija boards? Join me in a humor-infused trip down memory lane as I share spine-chilling tales from my small-town childhood, and my parents' distinctive generational experiences. Prepare for some belly laughs as I share about our nearly-thrift home purchase, and how I take on the role of the comic in tough situations.Brace yourselves as we unmask the world of stand-up comedy, shedding light on why authenticity is king. Remember the time when Libby turned a run-in with a security guard into a hilarious moment? Her genuineness won the day, and it's a lesson we can all learn in not taking shortcuts in life. Then we'll journey through topics as diverse as tour dates, reattachment surgeries, allergies, taxes, fast food musings, and even money matters. Hear Bobby reveal his plans for an unusual procedure, and my late-night sugar binges.Ready for a dose of nostalgia? I'll take you back to my childhood days of enforced nap times, contrasting the experiences of being watched over by family versus hired babysitters. Ever noticed how the smells of other people's homes and cars are distinctively different? From the classic Taco Bell scent to suspiciously clean vehicles, we've got that covered too. So sit back and let the laughter, memories, and thought-provoking discussions wash over you in this episode of Discombobulated!

Today I sit down with my friend Bobby Jaycox. We talk about his experience as a firefighter before starting stand up, how he breaks too many bones, what makes us get up in the morning and how Bobby is Gettin' Better.   UPCOMING SHOWS 28 July 2023 Bloomington, IN    The Comedy Attic 29 July 2023 Bloomington, IN    The Comedy Attic   03 Aug 2023 Timonium, MD Magooby's Joke House  7:30pm 04 Aug 2023 Timonium, MD Magooby's Joke House  7:00pm & 9:30pm 05 Aug 2023 Timonium, MD Magooby's Joke House  7:00pm & 9:30pm   12 Aug 2023 Olympia, WA Capital Theatre   24 Aug 2023 Portland, OR Helium Comedy Club  7:15pm 25 Aug 2023 Portland OR Helium Comedy Club  7:30pm & 10:00pm 26 Aug 2023 Portland ORHelium Comedy Club  7:30pm & 10:00pm   15 Sept 2023 Chicago, IL The Den 16 Sept 2023 Chicago, IL The Den   Follow me on my Twitch channel for comedy nights, video games with friends, and more! https://www.twitch.tv/ron_funches   Become a Patron at http://www.patreon.com/gettinbetterwithron and get perks like personal affirmations, shoutouts, hand written letters, tickets to my shows, and much more!   We have an Instagram!
