We got a chance to chat with our old pal just a few days before he got to Connecticut and this was our favorite moment from that interview.

Ethan: Did you know you have a Wikipedia page? 

Robert: "I don't look at anything on the internet about me. First of all, there are three of me. Of course, there's the R. Kelly that we all know and love—the one in prison, serving his time. Then, there is the poet, so I don't know who they are talking about when they refer to that. I mean, I get emails from people supporting me as R. Kelly, the R&B singer, and I actually respond to them, too. I'm like, 'Thank you very much.'"

Lou: You need to start publishing your responses somewhere.

Robert: "What does my Wikipedia say? It probably says horrific stuff."

Lou: No, it's not bad. It talks about your early life, you know, Massachusetts, and the crew you came up with—Burr and Patrice. It also mentions where you live. Are you still in Westchester?

Robert: "I'm in Westchester yeah, it says where I live?"

Lou: Yeah, it probably shouldn't. Not the address it just says you live in Westchester. 

Robert: "No, I'm fine with that I want them to know that I'm living where Ryan Reynolds and all these famous people live."

Lou: You know I went to Westchester Community College? I'm not bragging, I'm just letting you know some stuff about me. 

Robert: "Haha, I don't want to brag either but I went to Bunker Hill Community College. So what up?"

Lou: Ah, look at us huh? A couple of brainiacs. I love it.

Robert: "It was in Bunker Hill, in Charlestown, Massachusetts. I don't know if you know this, but it was the bank-robbing capital of America back when I was going to school there. So, yeah."

Dave: We have seen "The Town" Robert. 

Robert: "Yeah, so that is exactly, that is where most Ben Affleck movies are filmed by the way." 

Lou: You were troubled youth anyway, right? Did you ever think about robbing a bank? 

Robert: "Uh, no, I robbed a gumball machine, so it wasn't—yeah, dude. Robbing a bank? No. I robbed a gumball machine because I wanted the gum. I think I threw away the quarters and nickels."

Lou: Not so ambitious then, yeah I got you, I follow. 

Robert: "Or maybe I just love gum? And that is with a G by the way."

Lou: Yeah my motivation when I was young, all I thought about was salami sandwiches mostly. 

Robert: "Typical redhead! Yeah most guys with freckles really do love salami. That is why I don't like redhead girls because they smell like salami."
