Key Discussion Points and Stories
1. Game Introduction & Panel Banter [03:00–07:37]
- Premise Recap: Each panelist submits stories on a theme (here: love); stories are read anonymously, and the others must guess the storyteller.
- Stakes: Tonight’s winner gets "Fifty Shades of Grey."
- Jay (07:19): “It’s a front to back spank sesh.”
- Sal (07:20): “I don’t need to read it, I lived it.”
2. Story 1: “I left a foreign country early to stop the person I was in love with from someone else. I don’t think they loved me back quite yet.” [07:59–15:32]
- Debate: Is this a “man” or “woman” move?
- Luis (09:00): “Men are jealous this way. We would get on a plane, leave a country, go home just out of pure rage.”
- Panel Analysis: Krystyna confesses she has the "rage of a man," others debate emotional nuance.
- Reveal: Big Jay Okerson’s story. He left Germany/Amsterdam for a woman who later became his ex-wife.
- Jay (13:50): “I think I convinced her to stay in New York instead of Boston… And now we have a 23-year-old daughter.”
3. Story 2: “I was sued by one of my exes.” [16:22–22:29]
- Panel Reaction: Immediate suspicion on Luis and Sal (the most “suable”?), then pivot to Krystyna, considering her decade-long relationship/sex podcast.
- Luis (17:39): “Sal is the most famous person… Smart move to sue.”
- Reveal: Krystyna Hutchinson’s story. Her ex sued her and podcast partner Corinne for $110K.
- Krystyna (21:38): “Broke up after seven years; he sued me and Corinne for $110,000. He didn’t win, and he could’ve settled for $50K but got nothing.”
4. Story 3: “I have told at least 10 people that I was in love with them.” [23:51–33:14]
- Immediate Accusations: Everyone jumps on Luis.
- Jay (24:10): “I know 20 of them.”

- Reveal: Luis J. Gomez’s story.
- Luis (32:12): “In retrospect, I wasn’t in love with my seventh-grade girlfriend… It was 11 girls, actually.”
5. Story 4: “Russell Stover is such a [crap] candy, not sure how they dominate the holiday market...” [37:53–44:34]
- Laughter: Panel mocks this as “not a story,” immediately blames Sal for candy rants.
- Sal delivers Oscar-worthy denial.
- Reveal: Sal Vulcano’s story.
- Sal (43:06): “When I wrote it, I was like, they’re gonna think it’s me. This will be my strategy, played perfectly.”
6. Story 5: “I went to a wedding where the best man, hammered, shared wild stories—prostitutes, blow—got dragged off stage.” [50:59–59:38]
- Group guesses: Adam Ray’s “frat bro” vibe makes him main suspect.
- Humorous aside: Panel distracted by someone rolling a blunt in the audience.
- Reveal: Adam Ray’s story.
- Adam (57:30): “Wedding in Solvang, CA... Best man came up to ‘Who Let the Dogs Out’, 15-minute speech, parents mortified, had to be dragged off, DJ played the intro song again as he left.”
7. Story 6: “A friend nursed a gross skin problem on my ass for a whole weekend. No SO ever loved me that much.” [61:42–68:21]
- Immediate guess: Big Jay is only one “who can’t reach their own ass.”
- Luis (62:00): “The tell here is can’t reach your ass.”

- Jay (68:07): “No woman has ever loved me that much.”
8. Story 7: “I’ve slept with one porn star.” [72:34–81:26]

- Krystyna (79:30): “I flew him in and boy, was his dick tired… It was for the podcast, for the story.”
- Panel jokes about AVN memorial slideshows and classic porn names.
9. Story 8: “Once got a DJ on Hot 97 to dedicate ‘Come and Talk to Me’ by Jodeci to a girl I liked—awkward at the time, worked later.” [83:54–91:45]
- Debate: Only Jay and Sal “know” Jodeci; Hot 97 is a very NYC reference; group narrows to Sal or Jay.
- Reveal: Sal Vulcano’s story.
- Sal (90:42): “It was my first high school girlfriend. A friend had a radio block. I requested it; it was awkward, but we dated soon after.”
10. Tiebreaker Round:
Story: “I lost my virginity to the first person I said ‘I love you’ to, but they’d said it to three people before—including one of my close friends.” [93:49–96:56]
- Only Sal and Jay remain; both wager points.
- Reveal: Luis J. Gomez’s story. He lost virginity at 16 to a girl who already told three others “I love you.”

Tone & Style
The tone is irreverent, bawdy, and honest—panelists riff ruthlessly, mock each other's confessions, gleefully reveal secrets, and escalate the stakes with every story. The camaraderie and history between the comics leads to both heartfelt bonding and vicious but good-natured trash talk.
Summary
A classic Story Warz episode, loaded with gut-busting one-liners and true-life absurdity, this show delivers a live special with big laughs, raw admissions, and an unapologetically raunchy exploration of love in all its embarrassing—and sometimes litigious—forms. In a rare turn, Big Jay Okerson finally snatches victory and leaves with not just the book, but the respect (and mockery) of his peers.
Big Jay [97:10]: “Ladies and gentlemen, Big Jay Okerson is your win winner. It never happens. My eighth win.”
