Discombobulated with Bobby Jaycox

Do you ever wish you could enjoy late-night banter without all the typical clichés? Or wondered what it really means to be asexual? 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!

Welcome to our spine-tingling Spooky Season episode! Ever thought about how different it would be to experience actual scares instead of simply spectating this Halloween? Well, that's exactly what we thought! How about a call-in holiday where your friends get to scare you rather than you mindlessly binging on horror flicks? And, you know what else is scary? The incessant barrage of cell phone notifications. But no worries, we've got a game plan to tackle that too without resorting to a total reset.

In this exhilarating episode, we don't just talk about fear, we face it! Find out about my unforgettable encounter with my phobia of snakes, thanks to my buddy Steve Reigns. We've got all the spine-chilling details, from the audience's reactions to the safety precautions we took for our slithery friends. In the spirit of collaboration, we also talk about the various forms of comedy, including stand-up, sketch, and improv. We believe comedy is a fun way to confront our fears and grow as individuals. 

To wrap things up, we share the remarkable journey of our friend Rafe. From starting standup comedy at the Funnybone, to hosting a top 50 podcast and being invited to perform at comedy shows, Rafe has shown us that facing your fears and pushing your limits can lead to incredible success. Our conversation emphasizes the importance of a supportive network of friends when taking on new challenges and the sense of pride and accomplishment that comes with overcoming them.

We even exchange stories about dating mishaps, the challenges of removing hair from unexpected places, and our unique strategies for wowing someone with a one-foot tap.

Plus, Lizzy shares anecdotes from her own life and we chat about connecting with new people, practicing safe sex, and our future plans.

Laugh with us as I share anecdotes from the night and explain how New York's vibrant comedy scene differs from my hometown of St. Louis.
