Dan
Well, you brought it up.
Jay
No, I didn't.

I thought you said let's go get. You missed Jew food.
Jay
You misunderstood me. I explained it in that moment. But then you had Jew food on the brain after that.
Dan
I always have Jew food on the brain. Right, Jacob?
Christine
I like that.
Dan
What did you say then? How did. I misunderstood. You did. How did the word Jew.
Jay
I was just saying that we'll have like a good amount of time. I forget the wording of it, but what I was saying was if we started two and we'll have time. But I was even saying that the deli. You could have time to really sit and like chill. I think I said may have said chill or something. You thought I said ju. We were. I was driving through a monsoon or.
Dan
Because I'm always. I always hear Jew and you do.
Christine
The place he wants to take you is good.
Dan
Yeah, but it might be a little. Might be a little. It might be a little. You might need a little more time than what we Have.
Christine
It's a. I go. It's a. Really. Yeah. You got to sit and enjoy. You don't want to rush it.
Jay
What do they have there?
Christine
A lot of stuff. It's.
Dan
Well, we're on the radio. Be descriptive.
Christine
What do we have here?
Jay
Look at the menu.
Christine
We tried everything.
Dan
We had hummus.
Christine
Yeah.
Dan
We had baba ganoush.
Christine
Yeah. We ordered lamb chops.
Dan
Oh, so good. You don't like a lamb chop?
Christine
No, I wasn't.
Jay
What I.
Christine
But there's a lot of grilled food to look.
Jay
Well, he's not. Danny, he's not gonna let you get whatever you want.
Christine
No, he was fantastic.
Dan
Yeah, I'm not gonna. I mean, I. God forbid I take you to a different place.
Jay
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Christine
That place is great. You'll like it.
Jay
Yeah. Jacob, you want to go to lunch, just me and you? Ted's Montana, next week?
Christine
I can't go there with you.
Dan
Wow.
Jay
Why?
Christine
It's our. We need our own place.
Jay
I bet we'll have more fun.
Christine
Just me and you.
Jay
Just me and you. Working it out now. You know what? Okay. I'll bring in the crew. Whole crew. Let's go to Ted Montana's next week.
Dan
All right? I'm not attached to it. Why? Why do I feel shitty?
Jay
Huh?
Christine
Let's go.
Jay
Oh, I didn't want to put you through it. I thought I was doing a good friend to you.
Dan
You know what? Thank you very much.
Jay
It's a pure spite meal. Gonna make you sit through Ted's Montana. It not good, Bobby.
Christine
No one who goes like you haven't been there. I like it. Dan likes it.
Jay
Well, then why wouldn't I take you to your favorite place, huh? Then why would I take you to your favorite place? Ted's Montana's. We're doing it.
Dan
I bet he loved Mickey Mantles when it was in town, too.
Jay
Jacob loves the hard rock. Bubba Gum shrimp.
Dan
Yeah.
Jay
Jacob has tourist taste.
Dan
Yeah, he does. He really has tourist taste. You stink.
Jay
I'm gonna head over. Hey, where are you guys going for lunch? I'm head over to Bubba Gum Shrimp and get the Captain Dan Platter.
Dan
We should go. We should go to Ted Montana. We should have Ted Montana's delivered here one day and do a taste test to see how good it is.
Jay
We should do it today.
Dan
We'll do it today. We'll get what you get. We'll get what Black Lou gets and what DJ and we'll. We'll taste test it on the air. I mean, I could save you time. It's not delicious. Why are you going for the company? Well, you could go to the park and get sandwiches. I'll make you guys peanut butter and jellies with chips.
Jay
Dan's got a foot out the door.
Dan
The entire look at Black Lou's face when I say peanut butter and chips.
Jay
It's a good chips.
Christine
They give me a different. They tell me the exact same thing, exact opposite thing when we're not on.
Dan
Because they don't want to crush your soul. You're on the edge all the time.
Christine
I'm not gonna. I don't own a stock in the place. I just like emotionally.
Jay
You do?
Dan
Yeah.
Jay
You have emotional stock.
Christine
Yeah, well, it was originally our spot.
Dan
Oh, stop saying our spot. This isn't a Notebook. Stop being so romantic about this stupid, stupid lunch date with you and a guy who left you.
Jay
Do you think he loves you? Do you think Dan.
Dan
I don't think Dan likes these guys. Not only does he hate that place, he's doing this out of, like, just so he gets into heaven.
Jay
He's also assuming. He's like, at some point, these guys are going to be like, the food's terrible. We don't have to do this.
Dan
Dan left you with me and Jay. He doesn't like you.
Jay
He dumped you on the fire station of this. This room.
Dan
Yeah. Yeah. He dumped all you fans, too. So fuck it. Stop bugging me.
Jay
He fucking gave birth to you in a. He gave birth to you in a prom bathroom and then dumped you in the garbage. The garbage barrel.
Dan
Barrel. Thank you.
Jay
That's a bonfire. Word.
Christine
Now you're the firemen that are raising.
Jay
Us, and I'm raising you.
Dan
Dude, really, man. You gotta. You gotta let go of this relationship that doesn't exist.
Jay
Force yourself to eat a shitty mushroom steak.
Dan
Oh, do you get steak? No, you get sand.
Christine
Be too fancy, you get sand.
Dan
What?
Christine
I didn't. I'm not gonna order.
Jay
There's no such thing as too fancy at Ted Montana's, buddy.
Dan
You could order seven entrees with me and Jay. We wouldn't care.
Jay
I would just go, you want. If you looked at me once and said, is it cool if I get. I'd go get whatever we took you. We're not thinking about that.
Christine
Yeah, I'm not gonna order that steak. No.
Dan
Why wouldn't you?
Jay
Pretty sure that we've bought you guys steak.
Dan
Yeah. The best. One of the best things.
Christine
It's a casual lunch. I feel that's taking advantage.
Dan
I want you to let go of it. I want you to let go of it. I want you to fucking move on in your life. You wonder why you're stagnant? Because you're holding on to anchors.
Jay
You're right. You know what? You're right. Dane takes you to a casual stupid lunch at a shitty place owned by cnn. Me and Bobby, I say the first time it's nice out, we take you somewhere where we off to dress up overly nice.
Christine
I can't remember that far back.
Jay
What? No, no, I'm saying we'll take you.
Dan
Oh, that was a little. No, that was a dig, Jay. That was a little. That was a little spear in your chest that you didn't feel well.
Jay
I don't think he understood what I was saying. So I don't get what he said.
Dan
He said, I don't remember that far back. Cause we took them out to eat two and a half years ago.
Jay
Oh no, no, no. For sure.
Dan
Yeah. But it was worth four years, people.
Jay
It's been in my house. I've provided food in these situations.
Dan
We had a barbecue in la. We had a big pool party. We smoked cigars.
Jay
We do it. We do it and we go with the Dantanas.
Dan
Don't forget Hawaiian food in Vegas where I dumped.
Jay
I know Dantanas.
Christine
I rib here to.
Jay
I know Dan isn't fucking Ted Montana's. It's two different people. Yeah, sure. Dantana is just a fantastic family owned business for the longest time. And Ted Montana's is owned by a guy who owns cnn.
Dan
Yeah, he's gotten.
Jay
Who's also dead.
Dan
Is he dead?
Christine
Ted Turner's dead?
Dan
No. Who's the guy who owns cnn? What was his name?
Christine
Ted Turner.
Jay
Ted Turner. Oh, that's Ted's Montana.
Dan
Yeah. He's dead. Oh, it's Ted. That's him.
Christine
Yeah.
Dan
You go into a, a franchise.
Christine
I didn't even know he brought back the buffalo.
Dan
He brought. He what?
Christine
Which you know is close.
Jay
He also brought back WCW wrestling. Why do you go to a steakhouse? That's crazy.
Dan
I wish he brought back the Comanche Indians and they killed you when you went in there.
Christine
Why do you want that?
Dan
Because I hate that you go to the stupid place and have some motion.
Jay
Well, he was saying about we didn't take them. It's been a couple years. I didn't say that. I said we're not taking them to a casual lunch. We're going to take them somewhere soon when it's nice out where you have to dress up.
Dan
Yeah, where is that by the way? I don't know. There's too many places like that left no.
Jay
Where we. Not you have to dress. But we will. I want everyone to. It will be required that you all dress up.
Dan
Let's go to. Let's go to Keene Steakhouse. Pretend it's the 30s and Christine can't go because it was only men.
Jay
Okay, well, that means I can't go too.
Dan
Oh, sorry. All right. We'll make it. We'll make it. The 60s. I'm pretty sure the women. Sad. That's bad too. I think we made better, though. Was getting better in the 60s.
Jay
Now here's the thing.
Dan
You guys started fighting back.
Jay
I think as. As long as Lou dresses a little less nice than the rest of us and butters our bread for us, they'll.
Dan
Understand why you and you'll be fine. Yeah, you'll have to stand during the whole meal, but that's okay.
Jay
You have to stand the whole meal. And you probably have to cut at least one of ours. Food.
Dan
Yeah, you'd have to say once in a while.
Jay
That'll be your name also, if you don't mind. He goes, hey, this is wabbledy dabbledy. He'll be our assistant. Assistant?
Christine
Yeah.
Dan
What are they? What do they call them? Our liege.
Jay
He's my attache. My valet.
Dan
Yeah, valet. There you go. Dude, I'm done with this winter. Yeah, dude, I'm done. Dude, I just can't.
Jay
I think I might be a snowbird.
Dan
I can't do it.
Christine
I hear that.
Jay
The only place we could do it is Miami, but I fucking hate Florida.
Dan
I don't mind Miami. I'll do Miami for six months.
Jay
Six? Yeah. Why are you so many months there?
Dan
Let's sit down and party, man. Do some gay off.
Jay
I would do. I would do. Absolutely. January, February.
Dan
January, February. Miami. We get a little. We get a little apartment in the same building.
Jay
Just me and you.
Dan
Yeah. What about Christine, though?
Jay
Everybody else will be here doing the show.
Dan
Oh. They stay here. We go there.
Christine
I believe we can work out of Miami.
Jay
Black Lou as a family.
Dan
I have a family, but I'll leave them for two months.
Jay
DG Lou has a girlfriend who can't get that close to international waters or she's gonna be taken back home.
Dan
Especially in Miami. They'll put her back on one of those tubs and push her out in the ocean.
Jay
What I'm saying is, I don't want your girlfriend to get deported. Lou.
Dan
She's black American.
Jay
No, I know, but she reads a little Hispanic.
Dan
Reads a little bit. Oh, thanks.
Jay
She reads a little Hispanic.
Dan
I would do Miami for two months. This is get even for a month. This, this, this mid January to the end of February is going to suck.
Jay
I was irate at how much of a hard time I had with the snowblower yesterday.
Dan
Yeah.
Jay
And how much. I think it's a shitty machine. And then watching the video of you giving just the shovel thing and how good it seemed to work, I was like, that's. I should have just had that instead of having a tractor trailer in my garage.
Dan
Well, I have both. I have the. I have the one you have, but yours is better than mine. And then I have the snow shovel from the same company, same voltage, 80 volt. But you got. The trick is, bro, you got to go out while it's snowing, do it once, come back out, do it again.
Jay
Takes five minutes with that thing.
Dan
Five minutes. So you do it. You got. I shoveled. I snow blowed. Is that how you say it? Three times you blowed. I snow blowed. Three times blowed. So that's the trick to using an electric snowblower. You can't just go out like a gas one and just fucking tear through anything. You got to go out while it's snowing if it's gonna. I had 16 inches at my house.
Jay
Yeah.
Dan
Yeah.
Jay
So probably something like that by me.
Dan
I do it three times. I went out during the snowstorm kind of at the end, and then the next day. And it only takes you 20 minutes to do driveway. So.
Jay
Yeah, yeah.
Dan
No, that's the trick with the. The old.
Jay
Not me. I have neighbors come over and say things like, you wanted to live in the suburbs. Huh?
Dan
Oh, you had him come over and.
Jay
Then come over and hand me a card for a boy who can come over and do this Better for me.
Dan
It's better that you do that. Sell that thing and have somebody come and do it. You're one of those.
Jay
What do you mean?
Dan
I'm saying that you're one of those. When it snows out, you just have a guy come.
Jay
That's what I need. You're right.
Dan
No, no, you got it.
Jay
Come on.
Dan
You're not gonna get a bobcat for a bobcat. He has to know how to. He can't have a bobcat.
Jay
I should probably have a bobcat.
Dan
You can't have a bobcat. You'll kill somebody.
Jay
I'll sell. I'm gonna sell the thing and get myself a bobcat.
Dan
Christine's gonna drive that right into your gym. Right into your gym. I didn't know what I was doing. You can't. You're on the road. You're on the road. Get a guy. You're a guy. Get a guy. They'll come over soon as it's done, and they'll come, and then it'll be done. And you'll be like, I don't even know how they did that physically as human beings, how they did it. And they'll just use shovels, which is nuts.
Jay
Yeah.
Dan
Yeah. You know what they do have, though, that I saw? You can attach it to the back of your truck. It hooks onto the ball on the back of your truck. It's a plow head. So you just back up and it pushes the snow. That's pretty crazy.
Jay
Good thing about the truck is it just goes right over.
Dan
I know, but then you pack the snow down, and then it's too hard to get up with a shovel.
Jay
Well, then when I got out of the car, I realized it was up to my knees when I descended down.
Dan
Yeah, that thing right there. That's crazy.
Jay
Black Lou had something on his thing today. That was the plow that drops the side down. Yeah, that's in. That's in Canada. Um, but yeah, it's a plow that also takes the snow and puts it into a dump truck. Well, the one puts in the dump truck. Then you showed one that where the arm drops down to get your. In front of your driveway. Yes. If all these things exist, why they do it the wrong way still?
Dan
Because they gotta pay for that thing, you know?
Jay
I hate people.
Dan
The worst part about shoveling is that the next day when the plow comes for the city road, they just cement you into your driveway, and then you gotta go deal with that.
Jay
Look at that. Yeah, perfect.
Dan
Yeah. It's amazing, right? Yeah. Where is that? Is that also in Canada? That's in Canada.
Jay
But it's like, how much taxes do we pay? You tell me. We can't get that. Dude, Black Lou wants to be white so bad. He just watches Canada videos all day.
Dan
That's how you do it. By the way, that's the first.
Jay
Black Lou calls Canada the motherland.
Dan
Yeah, it's the first.
Jay
That's not the motherland. That's the first setting other black people.
Dan
The first course in becoming white is watch all Canadian things.
Jay
Gotta watch Canadian videos. They don't take you there.
Dan
Yeah, you. You should just get a guy to come over. She calls him and they. Oh, they would actually. You don't have to call them. They just come.
Jay
Yeah.
Dan
Yeah.
Jay
I apologize for Christine coming in a little bit late. It is borderline my fault. I got a Car out of the driveway this morning with four wheel drive low. You know what that means?
Dan
Yeah, I do.
Jay
I'm just learning.
Dan
Okay. Yeah.
Jay
Four wheel drive low, which will pretty much get you over anything. I think I can climb a house of four wheel drive low. So it got her out and then, you know, so she could be there. And then I went back inside and I was like, I got the car out of the driveway for you. And when she got on the highway, it was still in four wheel drive low.
Dan
You didn't put it back.
Jay
She called frustrated. And I was on the phone with fenoia.
Dan
Yeah.
Jay
And she called, and I was just like, you're in the queue at this point, having a good laughy conversation. And then she called, like, another time, and I was like, well, that's probably something. So I hung up with him to call her back, and she was like, I can't get the car to accelerate.
Dan
You fall low. You got to just switch it.
Jay
You got to pull over.
Dan
You got to pull over neutral and put it back in.
Jay
Right? And then she goes, I'm pushing the button. It's not turning off. It's not turning off. And I go, hold the button in. And she didn't. She goes, all right, thank you. She was so frustrated sounding, and it is funny because that was just a guess to hold it down. I didn't know if that was going to turn it off either, but it did, because when she goes. When she goes. Thank you. I was like, worked. She goes, yeah. And I went, okay.
Dan
The tranny falls out. Yep, it worked.
Jay
Yeah. I hate it. But the neighbors, the. The buddies. No, I think it was his. Maybe his dad or somebody just goes, you wanted to live in the suburbs. So again, they're just like those phrases I'm a little overhearing now. Welcome to homeownership. Makes you want to fucking. I want to put a fucking brick through their window.
Dan
Yeah, I know.
Jay
Welcome to homeownership. That's not what homeownership always, always is. And I was asking this, why can't there has to be the best thing for everything. Do you know what I mean? You don't have to worry about the constant things.
Dan
Yeah.
Jay
Isn't there just the best. Can you just do the best thing for it once?
Dan
Yeah, it's a Mexican guy.
Jay
No, I mean, like the thing.
Dan
He'll do everything.
Jay
Like our windows. Our windows in the house.
Dan
I have Fabio that comes over and does anything.
Jay
But I bet you have some of these problems. Our windows in the house. Crazy drafty. Crazy drafty. In front of those windows. And I'm like, isn't there just a way to make that not the case?
Dan
Yeah.
Jay
Has it not been perfected yet?
Dan
Fabio, My windows are drafty. Okay, I'll be over and then. They're not drafty. My gutter fucking fixes them, dude.
Jay
Huh?
Christine
You have to change the windows.
Dan
No, you can fix them. You can put some. You put the coal pane. Well, yeah, that's expensive. You could put caulking around the windows.
Jay
No, but it's expensive. I'm not even saying I can get these things or afford these things. I'm just saying tell me there is the thing to work towards for everything.
Dan
You could have the perfect.
Jay
I know. You could have a water heater that's not a fucking big tank and just be a thing on the wall. Now that should be the thing they keep saying about your. And these. By the way. This is coming from the babblings of treat me like a 13 year old girl who knows anything about home repair or anything. But they're always like, you know, make sure you don't have one of those houses where you have to let the water drip so your pipes don't explode or you do this or that and it's like, isn't there just a thing they could do to pipes to make sure that never happens? Like pipe warmers had these things never been. They have to exist.
Dan
They have pipe warmers. You can have. You can have pipe warmers put on.
Jay
There's roof heat, there's roof heat, there's driveway. Driveway heat. Yeah, probably walkway heat, there's walkway.
Dan
I have bathroom heat.
Jay
Bathroom heat's not a necessity. That doesn't change something in the house. So that's a problem. That's a luxury change.
Dan
My old feet, when I go to the shower and I go, your plantifasiitis. And then I go. Now I go, ah. When I take a poop, I'm like this, dude, there's everything you can do to your house, right?
Christine
So.
Dan
But it's the cost of doing it and who's going to do it.
Jay
But I'm just saying there is a solution for all of these things. Yes, there's the perfect floor. These epoxy floors I keep seeing in my algorithm can't be real.
Dan
They're real.
Jay
I would have that happen in my house tomorrow.
Christine
But too expensive to. To, to build the house with everything that would be perfect and never give you. That's the problem. They do use this stuff and then it's on your.
Dan
The problem with those Things too is you get these things done and then they break and you fucked. Like my. If my heated floors when we first got them, they weren't working. So he had to go in and pull up a thing. And that sucked.
Jay
Sure.
Dan
You know, but so when they do break, that's like when I got a fridge, I wanted the fridge that does everything and. But you get those things and then they break. And your fridge is just a fucking dumb fridge that doesn't work.
Jay
Isn't there an update on a fuse box that's not a bunch of fucking wires? Looks like everything I'm gonna touch, I'm gonna get zapped across the room like fucking Marty McFly. Maybe it's the kitchen. I feel like I'm gonna slap against the wall and slide down. Yeah.
Dan
The fuse box, I think is the most frightening thing in the house.
Jay
I'm like, why is it so archaic?
Dan
Yeah.
Jay
In the middle of everything, it's just exposed wires everywhere.
Dan
Well, we got. There's all different versions of it.
Jay
Switches and markers to tell me everything.
Dan
We got a. It's written in pencil, it's a marker.
Jay
Yeah, it's like kit. I guess that's one of the kitchen things.
Dan
We got the generator for the house and you could get the generator for the house that automatically turns on, runs on propane and just if the thing shuts off, it just flips, goes, and you don't miss a beat. But we got the one that you have to go outside, pull the generator out, start it. But I have to plug it into a certain plug I had put in. But I have to make sure I shut off a certain thing on the. The fuse box. I know. And he showed me five times and I still forget it.
Jay
Yeah. Christine's really like, if me and Christine break up, like, I have to leave because I don't know, like, she's. She's looked at the things, she's had time to like, study and things. I'll have no idea. She's like, well, we gotta shut off this valve and this valve for the sprinkler thing right now. And I'm like, dude, if it would just explode if I thought about myself.
Dan
If Don. I was thinking about this this weekend. If Don died, I'd be fucked. I don't know anything. But on the bright side, I was like, I'm just Gonna get a two bedroom in Manhattan and then send Max to PS7215, whatever school is in that area and just live life and deal with it.
Jay
Yeah.
Dan
And just go and just be like dude, walk up the street to school. Come home. Here's the key. We'll have a blast.
Jay
Where's Dawn?
Dan
She's dead.
Jay
Oh, she's dead.
Dan
I'd have to sell the house.
Jay
Oh, okay. She died.
Dan
I'd have to sell everything and just fucking collect that money.
Jay
Yeah.
Dan
Because I'd have to sell, simplify everything. I don't know the bank accounts. I don't know where the. I don't know any. I don't know my. My. My Medicaid. I don't know. I don't know how to spell Massachusetts.
Jay
Me and Christine's exit. Exit meeting would really be like, do we have a plumber? What's his name? How do you get a hold of him? Does he show up? Is he good?
Dan
Yeah, I'm hoping. I. I hope I die first.
Jay
Who's the handy guy? Do we have an electrician? Is there an electrician? I think there is. Right. And does he handle this stuff? No. I'm going to.
Dan
I'm going to start giving handjobs to Fabian like Don does.
Jay
Is that scary noise, the heat coming on? Because I don't know. I'm not here enough.
Dan
I know. I wanted to get. I wanted to change the heat out for the split units. I wanted split units all over because they don't make the heat. We have oil heat. So when it comes on, it's just like click, click, click. Oil heating king, king, ping, ting.
Jay
Ebenezer Scrooge.
Bobby
It's not really expensive.
Dan
No oil heat.
Jay
Oil heat. No. It's like fucking frontier prices guy.
Dan
The guy came the other day. Just fills up this big grubby tank.
Christine
Yeah.
Jay
I think Bobby just trades goods for it. Yeah.
Dan
I traded beaver pelts and buffalo highs.
Jay
Yeah. Banana bread loafs.
Dan
Yeah. No oils. It's a little tiny thing too. It's the easiest one. And it's the same.
Jay
What is this we're seeing? Oh, you had this. I was just like a thing that was up. I was just trying to find the snow stuff we were talking about before four and then we just switch seats. Oh, yeah, that's nothing.
Dan
I would like to know what the best snowblower is like. What?
Jay
I think my neighbors have it because they all had the same one. When I saw them out there killing it with theirs and then watching me punch mine.
Bobby
Ours is really intense.
Dan
What do you mean?
Bobby
It's just like a huge.
Dan
How. How it. But. But it.
Jay
I hate it.
Dan
But why does it. But you're saying it doesn't work. Does it not turn on?
Jay
No, it works it's just like.
Bobby
I don't know.
Jay
Second, can I be honest? The batteries go quick. I also don't think it's just not actually great for the brick part.
Dan
Yeah, you're right. Be right.
Bobby
I think it's catching the shovel you had.
Dan
What do you mean?
Bobby
On your Instagram shovel.
Dan
The. The power shovel. The Greenworks 80 Volt. It's pretty good.
Bobby
Yeah, I saw that there was a deal with that in another snowblower. We just need to ask our neighbors what to do.
Dan
Why don't you just get the snowblowers snowblower that your neighbor has.
Jay
I need to get rid of this one. For everything about getting rid of.
Dan
How much you want for it?
Jay
How much for my snowblower?
Dan
Yeah.
Jay
$7,500.
Dan
But dude, it's not. That's a lot of money, bro. Yeah, that's like pick up. Only I get an antique Corvette for that much money.
Jay
You don't know what I paid for it.
Dan
Yeah, I do. I told you to get it.
Jay
That's true.
Dan
I'll buy it.
Jay
No, I will.
Dan
I'll buy it. Because yours is better than mine and mine's fine.
Jay
Is it?
Dan
Yeah, yours is the upgraded version. Greenworks 80 volt, right? Yeah, yeah.
Jay
Three batteries.
Dan
Oh, dude. I'll buy it tomorrow. How much? 400 bucks.
Jay
How you getting it?
Dan
I have a truck. I'll drive to your house and throw it in the back of my truck.
Jay
We'll ride it up like whisper quiet and.
Dan
Does it have.
Bobby
No, it's crazy. It's like for.
Dan
I don't know what it.
Bobby
Like for a football field or something.
Dan
You know why it actually sucks the power out? Because you got the one that moves.
Jay
Oh yeah.
Dan
Mine. You push.
Jay
This one drives.
Dan
Mine doesn't drive.
Jay
Got away from me a couple times.
Bobby
I'm gonna crash this thing into the. I was like really careful when I got to the house. I would stop like way far away from it just cuz I was like, watch me fucking destroy something with this.
Dan
Yeah, that's. That's the ultimate.
Bobby
I mean, it's nuts.
Jay
It's like, you get it, I'll do half price. So you get it out of my house.
Dan
All right. Oh, you spent that much?
Jay
Yeah.
Dan
Do half.
Christine
Half.
Dan
Jesus.
Bobby
I bet we could sell it for half.
Dan
Yeah, yeah, you could. But why don't you sell? I'll buy it. What do you want? A thousand?
Bobby
Why don't you just send us the one our neighbors have and then you take this one.
Dan
Whatever your neighbors have.
Jay
You should just get the one my.
Dan
Neighbor said, but I don't know why you have a problem. I don't mind. I do the whole driveway on one brick.
Jay
Has a lot to do with it because I tell you, when I got to the sidewalk part into the sidewalk, the sidewalk was surprisingly easy and good. That went actually well.
Bobby
Yeah.
Jay
So it's going the end of the driveway and the actual brick driveway. It's. It catches and I probably the bricks up when I'm doing that.
Dan
Yeah, the bricks suck. To shovel.
Jay
Yeah.
Dan
Or snowblower. Anything. Even with a. A better.
Jay
You know what you do really easy with them is you could heat it because they just pull the brick up and lay stuff under and then in between.
Dan
Yeah, that's true. You don't think you can pull the brick up.
Jay
Nobody listens to our show.
Dan
I know. They don't care. They're just. He's waiting to play a sound. He's waiting to write something down that.
Jay
Made a whole reference to yesterday.
Dan
Black Lo's waiting for Christine to have a stroke so he can jump.
Jay
Bobby said it was super easy. Bobby said. Yeah, he's hoping Christine.
Dan
I got it.
Jay
He said. He goes, are you kicking Christine out? Jay, start talking back. Are you kicking her out?
Dan
Jacob's trying to learn how to close his eyes without you knowing.
Jay
Yeah. Hey, is she going to stay on the street show if you kick her out?
Dan
Yeah. Yeah.
Jay
Is there a ban on gas powered things in? Wayne, what made you go? Battery, Bobby?
Dan
The battery one works fantastic.
Jay
That's the one you have right there.
Dan
Yeah. Well, now I have the 80 volt. That's.
Bobby
That's 80.
Dan
No, that's. Is that an 80 volt?
Jay
Yeah.
Bobby
But you have the 22.
Dan
I have the 22. I have the bigger version of that. But I do have that shovel. That shovel is the.
Jay
So what would you do with your one?
Dan
I'd sell it for a thousand dollars. No, I'd probably. I'd probably. I'd probably sell it next year. I'm buying a new one next year. I'm going to get the one you have next year.
Bobby
No, just take it.
Jay
I thought you have one now.
Dan
I will take it. Can I do payment plans so Don doesn't get mad at me? Can I. Can I launder? Can I launder money through you, Christine?
Jay
Probably take it honestly and just do something nice for us one day.
Bobby
Just put in a star Starbucks.
Jay
You know what?
Dan
I'll do it.
Jay
You know what? You pay for Keens.
Dan
We'll just do a lot. A bag laundering scheme that we have.
Jay
Well, it's so funny.
Bobby
I never did that with you.
Jay
I tried, you know, my eyes on moving when we moved. So like big on certain things. That's what's kind of like. It's almost like having to make corrections now. That's why I got like the gym, like the whole piece with the stack and all the stuff because I got that bench. That was awesome. But it takes up the whole garage and you could just bench press on it.
Dan
That's it. No decline, no nothing.
Jay
And I got the dumbbell set. Looks so nice on there, but it takes up so much space for. I use two sets of those dumbbells only. So Lewis got me on a good thing. So I was just like. We're just trading dumbbells. He has the adjustables.
Dan
Yeah.
Jay
That I saw last night that are great. Really? The Bowflex ones are smooth.
Dan
Yeah, I have them too.
Jay
So I'm gonna. And I go, yeah. So if you just get these out of here, we'll trade. So we can call it an emotional trade right now. Bobby, you come get that snowblower out of my fucking garage.
Dan
How about this? I give you another set of adjustable dumbbells so you can. The thing about the adjustable dumbbells that sucks is that you have to adjust them. Right. Hang on, let me hear me out. I see your confusion.
Jay
Are you trying to get rid of adjustable dumbbells?
Dan
No, I have a Joe Weider set of adjustable dumbbells.
Jay
You got the back of a comic book. Joe Weider. What's it filled with? Sand?
Dan
No, they're fucking great. They're the high end, buddy.
Jay
That guy got a 12 year old Arnold Schwarzenegger in shape so he doesn't understand modern day athletics.
Dan
They come with the stand and everything and the standard from when. But. So if you're doing like 20s and you want to do 35s, you can set them, you know, the two sets and different things so you don't have to change it out.
Jay
I'm not going to have anything in my gym that says Joe Weider on it. I'm not a fucking 17 year old working out in 1985. Why don't I want. What do you work out? You work out with those wearing a tight rolled headband around your head.
Dan
All right, then I'll trade you with.
Jay
Aggressively positive 80s rock.
Dan
I have a Jack Lalane shake machine that I'll trade for the snowblower.
Jay
Are you tired of getting sand kicked in your face? With my new system? And I. Bobby's got the. He's going to give me the weight set where the the arms for the catch are the on inside you have the bench on the outside of them.
Dan
And I'll give you my Net Vunicello album working out.
Jay
Thank you.
Dan

Jay
And I mean this from my heart, okay?
Dan
From your heart.
Jay
She just cheat. Because you like to wrap your life up in a bunch of deceptions, but in your mind, you're like, well, I'm not getting other pussy, so this isn't that big of a deal because I know some things. Bobby, the streets are talking. When I was at Shane's show on Thursday, a little person who works at a comedy club, we know. She goes, God, I'm so tired of being Bobby's. Yes, that's for me. And Bobby just had to get it. Bag thing. And I'm like, oh, he's using you too. He tries to use Christine for that.
Dan
Did I do that with somebody else?
Jay
Liz.
Dan
Oh, Liz is my other launderer. I really do run a mob bag laundering system. And it's like, I had Liz.
Jay
This goes. I don't know where. She goes, oh, Bobby goes, what's he gonna make me tell dawn that I ordered another bag through him or whatever he makes. I go, no, he just makes you do that too. He asked Christina that all the time.
Bobby
And the way Bobby talks, you think Dawn's, like, so controlling the money. It's like, no, you have a problem. Like shopaholic.
Christine
Yeah.
Bobby
Hey, she has, like, you'll go broke.
Jay
She'd probably rather you get other pussy than spend all the money on bags you don't need.
Dan
Here's what I'm doing now is I'm buying little knickknacks off Amazon.
Bobby
No, you can't get unsentimental knickknacks.
Dan
I got. I just got something. Oh, so bad too, because it came. Usually this stuff comes and I hide it in my office. It's a little thing that you put on the back of your iPad that holds you magnetically holds your phone to your iPad, so you can have your phone and your iPad next to each other. And I hooked it all up and it just fell off the mag off the back.
Jay
The.
Dan
The sticking system doesn't work using Teemo. I know, I know. I'm gonna stop. I should just cheat. If I was cheating when I was cheating, I didn't buy anything.
Narrator/Advertiser
Nothing.
Jay
Condoms.
Bobby
Just pussy.
Dan
Just old fashioned puss. Oh, do I miss buying pussy.
Jay
Buy some condoms, dude.
Dan
I don't want condoms. If I'm gonna cheat, I'm gonna cheat. Roll the dice. Get some aids, get some herbs. Maybe a kid.
Jay
Maybe another kid.
Dan
Yeah, maybe another kid somewhere.
Jay
Dawn. What are you gonna do? Leave? So would I have another kid somewhere. NBA guys do it all the time.
Dan
Yeah, he's gonna call you grandma, by the way.
Jay
Not like his young, young mama.
Dan
Yeah, you're not second mom. You're Nana.
Jay
Dawn.
Dan
Yaya. Hi, Yaya. Don't call me that.
Christine
You.
Jay
Hey, don't talk to my son like that, Dawn. Don't talk to my other son like that.
Dan
I can't cheat. I wish I could. I wish. I really wish I could.
Jay
Black Lou, don't film the part where Bob.
Dan
Yeah, don't say that. I don't want to cheat. Keep that on. I love my. I. Look, I love my wife so much. And I'm happy. I'm so happy. I love her. Just have to learn boundaries. I have to learn.
Jay
I wish I could cheat.
Dan
This is trying to get us a hit video. That's why. Turn it back on.
Bobby
Oh, no. I'm FaceTiming.
Jay
But I feel like you're putting your cheating energy into finding manipulative ways.
Dan
You're very. You're very inside. I am an addict through and through. I am an addict. So if it's drugs, alcohol, sex, cigarettes, tobacco, and here's the thing, too, we.
Jay
Need a little deception in it. I understand what you're saying.
Dan
So now it's. Now it's gadgets.
Jay
But I'm saying you need a little deception. You don't just. At the end of the day, your results are the same. Literally, if you go, it's like, dawn, I. Blah, blah, blah, I worked. I'm getting this thing. I want to get.
Dan
I gotta hide pussy in a bag.
Jay
No, I'm saying like, you could technically just like not put foot downs. The wrong words. That's not your relationship. But I'm saying you could be like, I want this thing. I'm getting it. What do you mean I make a lot of money? You could do that, but you. Like, there's a little bit of, like.
Dan
Yeah, there's a little cheat.
Jay
There's a little excitement. Oh, my God. Is she gonna see that bag? Is she gonna see that bag? Anthony?
Dan
If it's new, do you know what I. You know what I call it, right? I. I do these things. I call it a mission.
Jay
A mission.
Dan
I put. I give myself missions. Yeah, that's what they are.
Jay
Just cheat.
Dan
It's. That's still a mission.
Jay
Yes.
Dan
Yeah, that's.
Jay
You're going to be happier with that mission.
Dan
That's a dangerous mission, Jay, but you're.
Jay
Happier with that mission than you are holding a fucking bag that you eventually have to sell because you're like, why do I have so many goddamn. I don't have this many things.
Dan
Yeah, I know. I have too many things.
Jay
You just keep shifting your things from bag to bag.
Dan
I just found a microphone. I bought microphones for a microphone.
Jay
Why?
Dan
I have. I bought these little case.
Jay
Your microphone is something to say.
Dan
I had these DJI microphones.
Jay
Sure.
Dan
And I. There was a microphone. A little mic that you put into the microphone. And it's just a wire that goes smaller mic. So you could hold it. Like a little mic.
Jay
What are you, Bob Barker?
Dan
Yeah, it was like a little Bob Barker mug that I've never used.
Jay
Like a Bob Barker mic for a GI Joe.
Dan
Yeah, it's a. It's a. Dude. I'm not gonna fight it. It's a problem. I like. I like technology and I've. I've taken sex.
Jay
You've always liked technology, but I've taken. You also got.
Dan
I got the more than technology back in the day, and I had less money. I didn't have enough money. I live with Billy Burr. Pussy's free if you know how to fucking get it. It's like mining for gold. Just hang out. Get enough. Hey, you were funny. How funny was I, Black Lou?
Jay
You filmed that? Dude. That's the meme right there. Did you hear what you said? That was like a PSA's free if you know what you're doing.
Dan
Yeah.
Jay
Double gun barrels.
Dan
Yeah. So, I mean, back in the day when I used to hang out and I mean, that was a mission.
Jay
Ask her if you. Rather you cheat.
Dan
No.
Jay
Or have. Or. Or. Or buy frivolous things. No. No.
Dan
Because I'm afraid of the answer. Do what you want.
Jay
Yes.
Dan
I don't care. I'm moving into the tiny house with Barry. Who the fuck is Barry? Barry that's our.
Jay
He's a tiny man.
Dan
He's our Mexican guy up in New Hampshire.
Jay
Is he?
Dan
Yeah, he. They don't have Mexican, so there's white guys.
Jay
Oh, he's a white Mexican.
Dan
No, he's a white. Just a white redneck. You up in. The further up north you go, you.
Jay
Still say things like, andalay to him.
Dan
Yeah, andalay.
Jay
Vamos, amigos, vaminos.
Dan
Yeah, it is a. Chicks were fun. Trying to meet chicks after shows or trying to hook up was a fun thing. Having multiple hookups was great.
Jay
It might be more dangerous for you, too, because you're far more social than I am though, too.
Dan
I'm far more social. But here's the thing, too. But when it. When you weren't getting it. You know what I mean? When the. Because you go in spells, it's like you got a bunch and everything you're vibing, but then it always dies off somewhere. There's like a dry spell. Those are the worst of times, when you have nothing and nobody, you know? That's why. That's why you got to go to hookers. And that's just the bottom of the barrel. What's up?
Christine
If he was single because we've seen him in action. Bobby is a smooth talker. He'd be getting ass.
Dan
Well, I would be getting ass. That looks like my wife now.
Christine
No, I disagree.
Jay
I mean, you do. I mean, I'm not saying it wouldn't look like her, but younger for sure.
Christine
Younger.
Dan
Maybe 30s, 40s, maybe 30s, without a doubt. You think?
Jay
I think if you're just talking about pussy. Late 20s, I don't know.
Dan
I feel like I've been out of the game and you guys are trying to talk me back in. I just.
Bobby
You've never gone out in a world where like, 30s is, like, young and hot to you, so that's like a unique place to be.
Christine
Well, I've always liked girl.
Dan
I've always liked older women. I've never really liked young girls.
Jay
Right, but you think 30 is an older woman.
Dan
30. 30 is more mature.
Jay
Yeah, more mature.
Dan
They're more mature. 30, late 30s, mid 30s. That's a chick who's been through life a little bit.
Jay
If you're talking about a relationship, for sure. But you're talking to hook up. You can go. You get late 20s, probably even early 30s.
Dan
I wouldn't mind.
Christine
You could have gotten.
Dan
I wouldn't mind. To check in the 40s just because they're going to be as tired as I am.
Jay
Bobby, stop putting this Dog whistle out over the air to try to get 40 year old women trying to. He goes, if you're 40 and you can just keep your dumb mouth shut.
Dan
Like a small ass. I like big tits. Fake or not.
Christine
Could have picked up that Instagram beautiful girl that served us.
Dan
Yeah, but I would have picked her up from one night and what do you argue? Yeah, yeah, but then she would. Here's what she would have done after we were done. All right, what did I do? It would be like she did heroin.
Jay
She got hypnotized.
Dan
Yeah, yeah. She'd shake out of it.
Christine
No, I disagree. She was. She loved talking with you.
Dan
Yeah, but that only goes so far, Jacob.
Christine
After one night.
Dan
Yeah, but have you ever had sex?
Christine
Yes.
Dan
Okay, you answered my question a few.
Christine
Times.
Jay
With a couple different people.
Dan
I do have to find. Here's. I, working out was becoming an addiction. I haven't worked out since Wednesday and I feel like. I feel like. And it just so happens every time I stop working out for you, it's.
Jay
Just so fun to have anybody Has a body like any of ours. Saying working out is an addiction.
Dan
Well, no, because it was like I was. I really wanted to do it every day.
Jay
Sure.
Dan
So it was like I was in that mode for. For a good month where I was like, I got it. I feel good. It was kind of, you know, routine. And Wednesday I just clicked off because our snowstorm's coming. Gotta pack on some pounds, you know, to survive. Just in case. That's the way my fat brain works. Fat Bobby still lives in my head, dude. And then I was eating. I was just eating breads and all week.
Jay
I think you cheating is be the best thing for not just you, your family.
Christine
Yeah.
Jay
Your overall health.
Dan
No, God forbid.
Christine
You. Also, I feel a little guilty in this because we haven't done the bonfire workout crew in a while. And that's my own fault.
Dan
Yeah. I was doing that workout by myself and I was loving it.
Christine
I know, but I'm. I'm such a good motivator. Well, it was.
Dan
Yeah.
Christine
On the clock.
Dan
No, you were. It was good. For a minute there, it was good. But here's what sucks is I didn't work out for four days. And then last night I went to my cigar lounge and one of the guys came in. He goes, ah, you're getting fat again. I was like, what? And I literally wanted my body to implode on itself and then eat itself. I felt like. I don't know why those. You know what I mean? When someone notices that you gotta look like a. It's not like I'm 360, you cunt. Yeah, I took off a middle aged woman.
Jay
Yeah.
Dan
I mean, I. I mean, I put.
Jay
On a tea petite.
Dan
I might be. I might be swelled up a little bit. But you. But it's in your head. You're like, I haven't worked out. I feel a little blah, blah, blah. Oh, and then, yeah, you put on.
Jay
A couple completely different in your mind. Yeah, yeah.
Dan
But it just fucking crushed me. I wanted to go, like to the gym right then and there.
Jay
I see pictures of myself now and I'm still like, oh, my God, what a slot. It's like nothing's changed. Oh, you crazy, Bobby.
Christine
It's time to crush some bands. We're doing it Saturday.
Dan
Saturday. I'm in.
Christine
All right.
Jay
I'm in training, getting ready for the fight. Bobby's training.
Dan
I love this. I love the bands to do it right. But it's. Here's the thing.
Jay
It's like, hang on, Bobby, one second. Fight training.
Dan
Yeah.
Jay
N word. Got to get it right. It goes everywhere. It can fit in every single song. I'll find a place for it to film.
Dan
Ah, man.
Jay
Yeah.
Dan
I don't know. It sucks being an addict. It sucks having that thing where you always got to have something.
Jay
I'll tell you.
Dan
And it's the lesser of two evils is what you try to find or replace it. And replacing it is a hard thing to do.
Jay
I'm saying save money, save your family. Cheat.
Dan
Yeah, but if I cheat, I'm going to wind up paying for it. I'm going to go down the road of paid sex.
Jay
How much do you need it?
Dan
I told you, I'm an addict. Yeah, dude. I started out with Coach bags. I wound up with Louis Vuitton. Because of your girlfriend.
Jay
Yeah. Yeah.
Dan
I got. I got a $150 coach bag and thought I was in the mix. And then I found out not really.
Jay
Can I tell you a funny thing with ordering that I just had? It was such a good and bad. So I ordered that functional trainer. Got the big functional trainer coming.
Dan
Yeah. And I ordered a trainer. A trans trainer.
Jay
Yeah. Transitioning trainer. Let's go, Jay. Get up. I got a transitioning trainer. Yes. Yeah, I got that coming. I ordered it and I ordered separately the bench. I showed you that bench. That was cool. The Iron. Iron master. It's called V2 bench. It's very cool to use with the machine. And I emailed about, you know, I was like, hey, just. I put the order in. I thought the email was kind of wrong that was in there. I fixed that now. But here's my actual email. And my email is, I use my personal email, which has my name in it. And he goes, he writes back, he goes, hey, just want you to know, ship this out on this date, FedEx is going to be coming to you, blah, blah, blah. And I'm sorry if this is forward, but my curiosity is so peaked. Is this the Big J? And I wrote back, yes, sir. And then he wrote back like, oh, huge fan, blah, blah, blah, that we're coming to see in Seattle.
Dan
Right?
Jay
It's so cool. I go, well, you know, I keep seeing. Not getting any updates on this because of the email thing. Wrong email that. I'm not getting updates on the big machine either. So I go, let me email them. Probably gonna recognize the thing too. And they wrote back, goes, we're on backorder, man. It's gonna take two to three weeks. You'll get it when you get it. I'm sorry. Okay. Did you say, hey, guys, I'm the Big J. I'm the Big J Okinson. Guys, you are dealing with the Big. Yeah, I should tell Iron Master. I should tell Iron Master to call Major Fitness and be like, hey, tell Major Fitness this is the Big J Okers. They treated me like I was a jerk off. They go, yeah, dude, it's on backorder. So it's coming two to three weeks. We've upped our staff. We're doing what we can.
Dan
Here's the worst part about those little hookups. When they note it and say, oh, that's great, is if.
Christine
If.
Dan
If in years to come when that guy doesn't work there anymore and you call back up. And the. I had, I had a hookup with the countertops when I was doing my kitchen. The guy was like, dude, is this Bobby Opie and Anthony? Yeah, dude. Dude, I got. You hooked me up, gave me a big discount and then we moved into this house. I called back and I was like, hey, I'm. I'm looking for blah, blah, blah. Yeah, it doesn't work anymore. Hey, Yeah, I was friends with them, you know. I'm. I'm Robert Kelly.
Jay
Cool.
Dan
What do you need? I was like, ah, the hookup died.
Jay
The guy who hooked up getting us our last car when we lived in the apartment, you know, and drove it down from like, sear. I picked out what we wanted in it. You know what I mean? Like, he drove it down with somebody. He worked. He was the big. Then he was like, you know, he stayed in touch and then he's like, dad, dude, not working anymore. And by the way, it's like under some bad circumstances. Then he was back with them. He's like, I'm back. And then the next time I heard from him was like, hey, dude, could you post this? GoFundMe, dude, I'm having some real hard times.
Dan
Oh, shit.
Jay
I was like, hi. Geez. Did you see God bless Lewis? I was at Lewis's house last night. Everything in his house is being done by him. He's like, yeah, I need this to be done right here. Because the H VAC system's having a little bit of a problem. But another fan says they know H Vacs, they're coming over. And then the fan who built the machine and then another fans go. I go, damn, dude. Yeah, you're really gonna. Leaving yourself wide open to everybody. I think, hey, you want to go see where Lewis J. Go?
Dan
I think Lewis invented Craigslist through his fan base. Yeah, dude, he's been using. I remember when he would do gigs, he'd be like, yeah, hey, I need a ride.
Jay
Four hour rides.
Dan
Yep.
Jay
Long rides with a stranger.
Dan
Yep. Doesn't care.
Jay
So weird. God bless him.
Dan
It is weird, but also.
Jay
But as a stranger. But it was a fan, so in his mind, it was like he could sit there. That's like a time where you could drive for four hours and have a guy go, God, what's it like, dude? Under the stage lights like that, he goes, well, as a born performer, I think, you know, like, he's gonna be.
Dan
Do me a favor. Hand me that book. That's my book. Open to page 56. This is where comes from drive and read.
Jay
Hey, you want to listen to my audiobook three times.
Dan
The problem with the when you friend or somebody that you know or is a fan hooks you up that if something goes wrong and you become a pain in the ass, if you paid for it, go yourself.
Jay
Exactly. You're pay. Dude, you already got the thing for like on like the half price. What more do you want?
Dan
That's the worst.
Jay
And you're like, oh, nothing. I just got wrapped up into the hookup of this. Yeah, you're like, I would have paid for all of it. But when you started telling me you were hooking me up, I started. Started getting wrapped up in the hookup. Yeah, because it is the thing at the end of the day when I was like, I was worried when that guy was gone from that place, I'm like, yo, what are we gonna do? When we want to get the car traded in this time, he goes, just go trade it in to a guy.
Dan
To a guy.
Jay
And then Christine said that I was a comic to that guy and that guy. I promised Saturday Live tickets, too.
Bobby
I don't know how we got from your comic to promising SNL ticket.
Jay
That's exactly it. You don't know how. No, I know. I can tell you exactly how.
Bobby
Stop talking.
Jay
Who you know, blah, blah, blah. Saturday Live is my favorite thing. You know anybody Saturday Live. So, I mean, gets there.
Bobby
Lie.
Jay
You should have lied when you went there and said, he's on the road. He's a comedian. Look him up. They all knew my stuff. When I walked back in there. It was awful.
Dan
It's awful. But the hookup is good until it goes bad.
Jay
There was no hookup. Yeah, Zero hookup.
Bobby
They didn't give you.
Dan
They knew you and didn't give you nothing.
Jay
They didn't know me. They got to know me. After Christine said, he'll be coming in to buy this to finish the thing. He's on the road. He's a comedian, blah, blah. So then they started looking me up.
Dan
And then they still.
Jay
When I came in.
Dan
So your comedy wasn't worth the hookup? No, they were like, hey, he's good. Not a hookup.
Jay
Not a hookup.
Christine
Good.
Dan
Yeah. This isn't Louis C.K. good.
Jay
No, I don't think we were hooked up at all.
Bobby
We weren't hooked up with the fan either. That's the thing is sometimes the fan stuff. I had a printing thing.
Jay
No, we were hooked up. Can I tell you something I would consider a hookup? This guy brought the car to my front door, took the other car away, and I signed three minutes of paperwork and it was official. It was all real deal. It was done. That's a hookup in its own thing. That's a hookup. Not one second in a car dealership dealing with a thing or a person or waiting. And that's. That's a hookup for sure.
Dan
Yeah, I had a. My. My friend do my plumbing in the house. I mean, he gave me a huge hookup. Did all the plumbing in the new house for all the bathrooms and kitchen, but under the. In the bathroom, in the main master bathroom. Sometimes when you turn the water on, it's kind of not coming out with pressure. And to save money, he didn't do copper pipes. He did flexible pipes. What? So if the maids just put stuff in there and it kind of kinks the pipe, so I have to go under and un like, move the little flexible hose around and then the full water pressure will come out. And then when I called him up, I was like, hey, dude, this is not where he's. Yeah, I, I, you know, I gave you a deal, but I, I didn't put in the copper pipes. I. To make it a. You know, I put in the flexible.
Jay
I put in paper pipes.
Dan
And he's like, you want me to put in that? You want me to do that? And it's like, ah, dude, no, I'll just stick with the. Thanks for the deal. You gotta kind of just take it on the chin because.
Jay
I know. Because if you bought it, you would just go, what's the best option? What's going to work the best? Can I afford that? If I can't, what's the next best thing? He just goes like, I'll do a hookup for. I'll make sure your water runs. That's always really saying the water is going to come from one place to the other. That's all you got to worry about.
Dan
And then when you call that person, it's like, what do you need now?
Jay
Right? And then you're like, yeah, exactly. And I. And then you know that eventually they're going to say something like, never meet your heroes. Right? Like, you fucking reached out to me and told me, you know how to do this. You were like, yeah, no, I'm a fan and I do this.
Dan
Yeah, it's the worst. And you know, they're talking. Dude, he called me again last night. Oh, my God, the hot water and the heat went off.
Jay
Oh, I guess it's fucking flexi pipes I've never heard of are kinking. Oh, I guess this water's not coming out because this straw that I made for pipes is bent.
Dan
And I fucked up when we did the bathroom. You saw my shower. It's like 7ft by 5ft. It's just unnecessary.
Jay
Fit your entire family in there. Your tiny family could all fit in there.
Dan
The dumbest shower ever, But I love it. But it has the huge rainfall, the two shower jets in the wall, and then the handheld on the other side. And he goes, dude, put the pipes on the other side. Because the pipes now are on the kitchen side. And if anything happens, I'm gonna have to rip down your kitchen to get to these pipes. I have to rip all these tiles down. And I was like, I like it on this side, I like it over here. Because I. And they just go, fuck it, because I'm giving you I don't give a shit. And now, if anything goes wrong, I'm gonna have to get a new kitchen.
Jay
Destroy your kitchen, Fix your bathroom pipe.
Dan
Yeah. Get a new kitchen, and I'm going to take all the tiles off. It's going to be fucked. The other wall.
Jay
Hey, this guy, you wanted to live in the suburbs, though, right? He could have just welcome the homeownership.
Dan
He could have just cut into drywall and just fixed the pipes on the. In the bedroom. From the bedroom.
Jay
I don't go you. And by the way, it's not the wrong move. You're looking for a deal. Louis is looking for a deal.
Dan
I like a deal. I'm not looking for it.
Jay
I like a deal, too. But I mean, I am also willing to just go, like, if we could. As little contact as possible in this. And I just tell you, and you tell me what the thing is, and you do it.
Dan
Yeah.
Jay
And then, you know, I'll order you guys a pizza. If you're here for a while, you pay for it. I'd rather just, man. Yeah, like the hookup thing. And the thing is, like, the guy who did Lewis's gym thing is a fan, and he's like, he did it great. I went and looked at yesterday, and it is built perfectly. He did a good, really good job. It's smooth. Everything's smooth on it. I'm like, now he's gonna know where I live, too.
Dan
Yeah. It's also the thing, too, is that you get these emails or text messages, like, two years later during Christmas and, hey, happy birthday, man. Or, merry Christmas, man. Hope everything's going well. And you're like, who the is this? And then you get a scroll back.
Jay
I'm the guy from the hot tub place.
Dan
Yeah, this guy hooked me up. Hey, how you doing?
Jay
You have to find back and see one message where it goes like, hope you really enjoyed all those treats I brought you in whateverville. And you're like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dan
I do like a hookup, though.
Jay
I do like a hooker.
Dan
I do like a hooker, too.
Jay
I just don't trust the hookup. I always think. I always think there's a. To use your analogy, I always think there's a flexible pipe happening in my hookup. Yeah, I think there's a. I just see that coming.
Dan
I have a fence hookup that we were going to put a fence.
Jay
Stolen products.
Dan
No, that's Christine and Liz.
Jay
They're your fencers.
Dan
They're my fencers for bags I'm selling. No, I want to put a fence up in the backyard and someone Contacted me right away and was like, hey, man, I do it. Blah, blah, blah. He's all the way in Rhode Island. He's like, dude, I'll come up.
Jay
And I'm like, that's what doing the thing goes. I'll put myself up in a hotel. I'll bet you're like, buddy, I don't.
Dan
Want you to do that, please. Because then it's gonna be like, ah, there's no hotels. Where are you gonna say, I'll just sleep in my truck. I'll just come in, sleep downstairs with Maxa de Max. You know what I mean? It's like, I'm not gonna let you stay. I guess we're family.
Jay
One of my tattoo. My tattoo artist lives in Chicago. He came with the whole crew. He came with the whole crew. He's like, you want us. Like, let me. If you want to do tattoos in the green room. I was there for, like, you know, since some 3pm on Saturday. Did we do tattoos in the green room. And I want some stuff, and there's stuff I need him to fix too. And, like, I was like. And then as it gets closer, I'm like, do you want me to bring any ideas of what you might want to get or if anybody wants to get something in the green? I was like, oh, man. Just come enjoy the show, dude. You know, I mean, like, I was like, I don't know. After a while, just like, I just. I feel bad, like, just bringing all their. To do it. To do a free. I know it's an advertisement for him too, but, I mean, yeah, they're the skank fest tattoo artists.
Dan
I love them. Manny.
Jay
Manny. Yep.
Dan
The best. He did my. All my recent tattoos.
Jay
Yeah. Yeah, man, he's the best.
Dan
The. I love seeing him too.
Jay
Yeah.
Dan
The hookup is a. I had a guy. Remember when apps. Do you remember when comics had apps?
Jay
No.
Dan
Yeah, dude. There was a time I had. I had the Robert Kelly app, and this guy from Tampa was like, you remember the Robert.
Jay
I know. It was a square with the rk. Like the curse of Arcade.
Dan
No. You all right, Lou?
Jay
Could you pass out from how funny that was? Yeah. This is what you get on camera. Bobby talking about the Bobby app. Please, Bobby, continue.
Dan
Pussies like gold. It's free if you know where to look.
Jay
He.
Dan
No, there was a. You know, because back in the day, I was the king of, like, comic technology, like, social media. My website was ridiculous. I was.
Jay
I remember the orbs.
Dan
The orbs. I mean, I had three different versions.
Jay
A little Bobby, a Little cartoon Bobby came out and threw. Not even cartoon. A little Bobby? Yeah, a little Bobby wearing. What do you think? Small collar, motorcycle jacket.
Dan
It was.
Jay
And he comes out and he grabs an orb, and if you go.
Dan
The microphone.
Jay
If you go tour dates, he grabs the orb and throws it at the thing. And then tour dates pop up.
Dan
I walk out on the top, but you heard click, click, click, click. Like I had high heels on.
Jay
I'll never forget Bobby. Bobby. Bobby's web designer was like his Dr. Gonzo. His name was Kurt Iverson. I never forget because his last name was Iverson. I always thought it was funny. I think he was an Asian guy named Kurt Iverson.
Dan
Asian Mexican from Kansas City. I would walk out the top, and there would be a microphone. I grabbed the mic, I take off the mic, and then I go. And the mics would just all go into orbs. And then when you push towards. I would reach up, grab one of the orbs, and go into a bigger liquid orb in the middle, and my face would shimmer.
Bobby
Why is this not so an active site?
Christine
Yeah.
Jay
$35,000 a month to keep active.
Dan
What was it? Ben Bailey joke about my. My. My website. Remember that on the roast?
Jay
It's more famous.
Dan
No, he goes, yeah. Robert Kelly is the only comedian who has a website that's more famous than him. Yeah, but I had. I had. I had an app guy contact me about comics apps, and he made me this fucking crazy app that, you know, had Google Maps. And my head was in my little head, and you'd touch it all. The link would pop up on the state, those things.
Jay
I like that as a. I want an award. It's showing your tour dates. It's showing your tour dates. I don't mind that we got into.
Dan
A big fight over it because we won this comedy. The best comic app of the year on Comedy Central Awards. And we got into a fight because he wanted the award, but I wanted the award. So we had to ship it back to each other every six months.
Jay
You and Kurt?
Dan
No, not Kurt. There's another dude.
Jay
Oh, the app.
Dan
I would have to mail the award back to him in six months. Then he would mail it back to me, and then I just kept it.
Jay
Ralph Sutton's. His first interactions with me of trying to, like, do something together was, I think, talking about an app. You wanted to get behind. You wanted me, like, to get behind it. I forget what it was for exactly. I think it was like. It was almost like a cameo type thing, I think.
Dan
Yeah, Apps were big, man, for a Quick minute.
Jay
Funny to have an app, but also just the idea, like, the pompous nature of like a lot of those apps that the comics did, or just famous people in general making an app. It's the idea that, like, hey, if you want, your mouse can be my face. Do you know what I'm saying? The idea of that, like, oh, you want to have your. Your Siri voice be my voice? Like, it's so dumb. Like, why would you want that possible?
Dan
Yeah, the app, you know, it's funny is my first Robert Kelly Live. They did in Houston, Kurt Iverson. I had that joke. Piss the pants monster.
Jay
Of course. What are you? The pissed pants monster.
Dan
So if you put the CD into a computer, you. I remember a desktop pet would come out, a little monster would come out on your pants monster and pee on your computer.
Jay
Yeah, your piss pants monster.
Dan
I was like. But people like, how did you do that? Oh, my God. That's what you gotta do. You gotta have the Pista pants Mazda.
Jay
You're moving and shaking. You know why, Bobby? Yeah. You were cheating.
Dan
I need to cheat. I need to stop cheating, get my mojo back. My creativity is on the basis of me trying to get going.
Jay
You were moving to the stars, dude. And you know why? It's because you. Because you had a good woman and you were cheating. That's why.
Dan
I don't know if I was cheating on down then, was I?
Jay
I don't know.
Dan
Just threw that out there.
Jay
Doing the bit.
Dan
Wow, that hurt.
Jay
Just doing the bit.
Dan
Don't listen it.
Jay
I was with her cousin, dude.
Dan
Oh, God forbid.

Episode: Addiction Missions
Date: February 6, 2026
Host: SiriusXM, Faction Talk 103
This episode of The Bonfire brings Big Jay Oakerson, Robert Kelly (Bobby), Dan, Christine, Jacob, and regular crew together in-studio after some time apart. Their trademark humor shines as they riff about suburban homeownership annoyances, winter woes, relationship dynamics, and the addict’s tendency to trade one obsession for another. The show blends real-life frustrations, self-deprecating comedy, and candid talk about compulsions. The central theme becomes addiction—not just to substances, but to anything that scratches the itch, from tech gadgets, shopping, “missions”, food, or even seeking hookups.
(Starts ~01:08)

(37:32–44:44)

(58:00–62:15)
"You gotta let go of this relationship that doesn’t exist."
– Dan (04:24), teasing Christine about her lunch place nostalgia.
"If Don died, I’d be fucked. I don’t know anything. But on the bright side, I was like, I’m just gonna get a two bedroom in Manhattan..."
– Dan (20:22), on adulting and contingency plans.
"If you allow me to do this, I’m gonna tell Dawn you’re gonna give it to me for, like, half of what you say you’re gonna give it to me, and then I’ll give you the other half in cash. So it’s—it’s blandering, but it’s not."
– Dan (34:34), on “bag laundering” snowblower purchases.
"You like to wrap your life up in a bunch of deceptions, but in your mind, you're like, 'Well, I'm not getting other pussy, so this isn’t that big of a deal.'"
– Jay (34:40), cutting to the core of Bobby's rationalizations.
"I wish I could cheat. I wish. I really wish I could."
– Dan (36:58), delivered with true sadness and laughter.
"I put—I give myself missions. That’s what they are."
– Dan (40:21), on the compulsion behind secret shopping.
"It sucks being an addict. It sucks having that thing where you always gotta have something... And it's the lesser of two evils is what you try to find or replace it."
– Dan (45:39), summing up the addict’s journey.
"You just keep shifting your things from bag to bag."
– Jay (38:40), riffing on Bobby's endless consumption.
This episode is classic Bonfire: bluntly honest, self-deprecating, side-splitting and sometimes trenchant. The panel speaks in direct, relatable, and vulgar language, peppered with comic exaggeration and affectionate ribbing. Jay and Bobby are especially skilled at mining their respective addictions—whether to food, gadgets, or old patterns—for comedic gold.
If you haven't listened to this episode, you've missed a tightly woven improv of mid-life comedic grievances: the pain of home maintenance, the search for perfect convenience, the way compulsive habits resurface in less-destructive forms, and the ongoing dance between transparency and white lies in marriages and friendships. There’s also a meta-element as they dissect the very act of "the mission"—sneaking or laundering purchases, getting deals, or chasing little highs—mirroring the very essence of lifelong comedy: turning pain and compulsion into shared laughter.
