[Robert Kelly]

His new midnight bean is available right now. It's a bottled espresso martini made with real vodka and natural coffee flavors. And it tastes great. And most importantly, it foams up when you shake it and pour. No espresso machine necessary.

[Big J Okerson]

Man, it sounds corny when you do it like that.

[Kevin Clancy]

I like it.

[Robert Kelly]

From KFC Barstool, everybody, it's the great Kevin Clancy joining us.

[Big J Okerson]

What's up, fellas? How we doing?

[Robert Kelly]

We're doing good. Thanks for being here. You brought this into the most sober room. Your booze.

[Big J Okerson]

I know, I know. I was thinking about that. On, but.

[Robert Kelly]

And I'll drink. I'll drink the whole bottle. Except I hate coffee.

[Big J Okerson]

You know, What a crowd for you guys.

[Kevin Clancy]

I'm out of here. Sell this sucker. I'm going to lose my 39 years of sobriety. Pour me a couple.

[Robert Kelly]

I like that.

[Kevin Clancy]

I'm in. Let's fuck it up. What's wrong with you? Asshole.

[Robert Kelly]

Is that it? That's it right there.

[Kevin Clancy]

Let me see. I want to smell it.

[Robert Kelly]

Great.

[Kevin Clancy]

Oh, you know, it's funny because when I was. When I did drink, when I was young, we used to have a thing called Potion Night where we'd send the oldest guy who could buy the liquor. We'd pull all our money together. No, I didn't get molested by him.

[Robert Kelly]

Why'd you wink before you said it?

[Kevin Clancy]

Because I did. And I didn't want the people to know. Anyways, we would get him. He would go down and buy all the booze, but he would get all kinds of mixed drinks. He wouldn't buy just, you know, he'd buy, like, you know, mudslides and, you know, screwdrivers. And one night he made, like, stuff like this. And he'd come back and we'd all get cheese cups and we'd have Mixed drinks. I was 13 just drinking mixed drinks.

[Big J Okerson]

It would be a great story if you weren't a 13 year old got molested by him, but otherwise sounds great, man.

[Kevin Clancy]

I didn't get molested by him. I think it was his brother, Brother Bobby. I'll tell you right now, if I did drink, it's good, man. I hated beer. I hated whiskey. I hated hard alcohol. This is. This type of. Yes, sir.

[Robert Kelly]

What's a cheese cup?

[Kevin Clancy]

Oh, when we. Before they were called solo cups. They were called. They had them at the Laches Bakery, the Italian bakery. They would use those red cups to put cheese in. So you'd go and get a bunch of stuff and then your cheese would come in the red cup. We called it cheese cups. Oh, there you go. So the solo cup, which became beer pong shit. Which retard started to stack and go on TV with. We used to call them cheese cups. Cause that's what the La Cache's bakery in South Meadow put the cheese in.

[Robert Kelly]

I'm not sure what that side dig was to beer pong and the brand Solo cup. What was that side dig? You just. That was weird. And I had started stacking them and calling a beer pong dumb pieces of shit. They took our cheese, these cups.

[Kevin Clancy]

No, I didn't. There was no side. I think you're reading into it, dude.

[Big J Okerson]

You called them retards.

[Kevin Clancy]

No, I said retards. Your father, those people.

[Robert Kelly]

Is it true your father left your family because he said he was going to make a million dollars in cheese cups and then Solo stole it from him? Wasn't my father came back.

[Kevin Clancy]

It was a guy my. My mom dated.

[Robert Kelly]

The guy molested you?

[Kevin Clancy]

I never. No, he didn't molest me.

[Big J Okerson]

His brother.

[Robert Kelly]

Well, who molested you then?

[Kevin Clancy]

Many people, Jay. But let's not get into that because we have booze to sell.

[Robert Kelly]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

And let me tell you something, dude, this smells.

[Robert Kelly]

Let me get away. Black. Louis.

[Kevin Clancy]

It smells real good. Take a sip of this.

[Big J Okerson]

It's a cocktail. I mean, it's become very cliche and popular the last few years. So I. I've been drinking them. I'll drink them. A long time ago when, like, nobody even. You'd ask a bartender and they'd be.

[Kevin Clancy]

Like, I was just on a cruise, dude. And I. I mean. I mean, they're everywhere. Five out of six people had one of these in your hand.

[Big J Okerson]

I mean, I was. I've been drinking since like 2010. And it was kind of like, you know, only a few people knew about it. And now it's become like the drink. So I was like, let's, let's get into this.

[Robert Kelly]

If I would have thought better of this, I would have had black lu wear and Isaac from the Love Boat wig. Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

What about the outfit?

[Robert Kelly]

Yeah, we would have just wore a wig.

[Kevin Clancy]

It'd just be a black guy from the 70s.

[Robert Kelly]

We would put him in a nautical.

[Kevin Clancy]

Outfit and he'd need the outfit. Jay.

[Robert Kelly]

Yeah. You have to have the first mace.

[Kevin Clancy]

Outfit, not just the wig.

[Robert Kelly]

Oh, love. Exciting and new. Are you trying it?

[Kevin Clancy]

I hope we all get up so good.

[Big J Okerson]

I love espresso. Okay, give me an honest review. You could take a like it. I love espresso martinis.

[Kevin Clancy]

It's so good.

[Big J Okerson]

It has like a sweetness to it. A lot of times bartenders them up, they don't know. Well, that's the thing too is like and, and like it's good same thing every time. If you shake it up, you get like the foamy effect. And I. I don't want to go out anymore. So I want to be able to have it at home. And you have to have the espresso machine and this and that. Now it's like boom, one bottle poured out.

[Kevin Clancy]

Can you tell me, because I haven't drank Since I was 15, what is in a martini? Espresso. What is it made of?

[Big J Okerson]

Usually it's. It's vodka espresso. Some people put like a little Bailey's in it, like a little cream, but it's usually just espresso. Maybe some vanilla vodka, if you will. This is just. Yeah. And then this. Bartenders, you have to make the espresso, pour the vodka, pour the cream, shake it all up. This is all in one bottle. And if you just give it a little shake, it kind of like activates it and makes it all foamy. Which is kind of the cool part of it just to be able to have that.

[Kevin Clancy]

You just get a couple bottle of these, throw them in a cooler, go to a party and everybody has these drinks ready to go.

[Big J Okerson]

Guns where it used to be like again you go out and the bartender either doesn't know how to make it, doesn't know what it is. Oh, we don't have the espresso machine. It was like, oh, production now it's like done. Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

Cuz having coffee at a bar is weird.

[Big J Okerson]

Yeah. At nighttime you want a little pick me up? Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

Does it give you caffeine?

[Big J Okerson]

Does it gives you a little kick?

[Robert Kelly]

No.

[Big J Okerson]

Shit.

[Kevin Clancy]

That's great.

[Robert Kelly]

It's fantastic.

[Kevin Clancy]

This is what, this is what bothers me about when I quit drinking so young. I never got to have like go to a bar and have on the rocks.

[Robert Kelly]

You missed weed too?

[Kevin Clancy]

No, I smoked weed.

[Robert Kelly]

No, no, no. But you missed the evolutions of things.

[Big J Okerson]

I think my take these days, I think weed is too good. Like I, I take like one hit and I want to be able to like smoke a blunt, smoke a joint. Like no, I, I hit, take one hit and I'm gonzo. Dude.

[Robert Kelly]

This is literally the size of joints I smoke always because they're little halves and it is all you need because it's so good.

[Big J Okerson]

Right?

[Robert Kelly]

But I. That's what I'm saying. You guys didn't get to witness the development of things.

[Kevin Clancy]

We had to smoke.

[Robert Kelly]

You had like, you had to pull seat. You never got pulling seeds out.

[Kevin Clancy]

We actually, yeah, we got, we got, we had got the plant like, you know what I mean?

[Big J Okerson]

Like invented cannabis.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah, dude. I remember, I remember when I was killing the land like he goes, hey.

[Robert Kelly]

Do you smoke potty? What am I a horticulturist?

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah, I remember we used to get weed and roll big fat lovers and have to smoke a lot of them to get wasted. A lot of weed to get.

[Robert Kelly]

No, it's very strong now but I think booze is developed heavily too. Also more actually more for someone like me who can't just like, you know, knock back grain alcohol and you need some flavor stuff into it. They've come along. That's why I said like yeah, white. If White Claw existed when I was okay, I would have started drinking probably as a teenager. Oh, we would me was the idea that I was like booze tasted so gross and I thought beer was disgusting.

[Big J Okerson]

That's kind of. I like these. So like I used to get me fun of for this being like oh, it's a chick drink. It's a sweet drink and it is.

[Robert Kelly]

But now it's always raining on Kevin Clarence.

[Big J Okerson]

I mean I just think race. It reached a point where like. Yeah, it's like, I don't know, you just drink whatever you. You like, you know.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah. I used to love drinking mudslides. Well my God. Oh, that's gay. When I mean mudslides guys just in my face.

[Robert Kelly]

Yeah man.

[Kevin Clancy]

Was that awesome.

[Robert Kelly]

We're all familiar with German pornography.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah man. That made me as much evolving as.

[Big J Okerson]

A 13 year old baby.

[Kevin Clancy]

Wild and, and screwdrivers were awesome too back then because I used to. We used to drink whiskey just. We would drink it just to get fucked up.

[Big J Okerson]

Right.

[Kevin Clancy]

So that you know a lot of the guys at home Would just get a bottle of whiskey and we'd one sip it. I hated it. We could get a screwdriver and just get.

[Big J Okerson]

When I started drinking it was Mike's Hard. Lemonade had just came out and it was like same thing. Like I. I know I'm supposed to drink beer, but I was like 15, I didn't like it Definitely couldn't drink whiskey or anything like that. So I'd be like, can I have a Mike's Hard Lemonade?

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah.

[Big J Okerson]

And you're drinking like a six pack of like basically so like lemonade soda.

[Kevin Clancy]

Well now beer is the only one they had.

[Robert Kelly]

When I was younger again, I just never knew how to get booze young. But what would have caught me more than anything would have been like a Bartles and James or something like that. It would have been all that stuff.

[Big J Okerson]

Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

It's so funny because when we had a. We used to wait for a buyer so we'd have to. I mean I'm surprised I didn't get fucking. Some guy didn't try to fuck our faces more than they did because we just stand in front of just talks.

[Robert Kelly]

About all the people who blessed more than they did. Thank God you only got face fucked by the ones you did. And not more than.

[Kevin Clancy]

I mean not like nobody was like, yeah, I'll fucking buy you kiss where you fucking let me suck you off. It never happened.

[Big J Okerson]

I used to get weed. We would go to this guy like we'd hop in his car and they were like fucking like 9th grade. Get in the car with shakes and you drive around the block. We'd go right over the. Right like over the bridge into the Bronx. We were in Westchester, but we just go like right over. And he was a nice guy, but I was like looking back on it like what the fuck was I doing?

[Robert Kelly]

Dave Smith.

[Big J Okerson]

What was he doing?

[Robert Kelly]

Dave Smith got a crazy one like that. Like they knew it's like some guy named Glenn. It was like the. When they. They didn't think it was weird but when they were all teenagers, like a 30 something or 40 year old guy would pick them up and. But he said always just square biz sold them weed. He would also weirdly hang out and play basketball with them sometimes or maybe video games. But it was an older. And they. But they were just like, yeah, Glenn's weird, but he's fine. He brings us the. I forget the guy's name or something like that.

[Kevin Clancy]

When I was 10, there was this girl Patty I used to like and she used to hang out with this Guy named Dickie who was 30.

[Robert Kelly]

Nice.

[Kevin Clancy]

And I used to hang out with a. I was 10 hanging out with a guy named Dicky.

[Robert Kelly]

And he was fine hanging out with.

[Big J Okerson]

You because like when you're a young kid, you're like, oh, you're cool, you're 30. When you're a 30 year old hanging out with 10 years old. 10 is insane.

[Robert Kelly]

That's insane.

[Kevin Clancy]

Dude, he got me shit faced on my birthday.

[Robert Kelly]

He. Your face?

[Kevin Clancy]

No, he never did.

[Robert Kelly]

You don't know you were shit faced.

[Kevin Clancy]

Well, you're right about that.

[Robert Kelly]

Really? You were cock faced?

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah, I got. He got me a bottle of Seagram 7.

[Big J Okerson]

Yeah, good stuff.

[Kevin Clancy]

Little fucking trash with a 30 year old guy named Dickie on my birthday at 10.

[Robert Kelly]

I never. Yeah, I don't know, I just never. Those rebellions weren't my rebellions. I was like, I was surprised. Drinking underage.

[Big J Okerson]

Yeah. So you, you waited till you were like 21.

[Robert Kelly]

Like, I mean, I'm sure I had like a. I started comedy when I was 19, so I think going to the comedy club, they would serve me there. So I think for looks, because I saw other comics doing it, I would get a Bud Light bottle and I learned how to like, to get that down. It wasn't like disgusting to me. So I could drink like two or three of those over the course of a night once in a while. But it was never like, if I had a choice, always I'd be drinking like a coke or a cocktail.

[Big J Okerson]

Yeah, you drink now, like as an adult. Did you pick it up?

[Robert Kelly]

Not pick it up. I do. It's funny. I have a system. And every time I do Legion Stanks, I always do it.

[Big J Okerson]

You're always doing shots of tequila, right?

[Robert Kelly]

Three shots of tequila and like a High Noon or whatever kind of version of that is. And I just get it. Cause I like being buzzed. But I hate drinking the taste of it so much.

[Big J Okerson]

I used to hate, like, you know, at my peak of drinking when it just. I mean, I felt like I was drinking a thousand beers a night. And I was like, I hate this. Oh, it's like just a volume going.

[Kevin Clancy]

With a company called Barstool. I mean, you gotta. You gotta have to fucking throw them down, man.

[Robert Kelly]

Yeah, it's expected.

[Big J Okerson]

Yeah. I mean, what we used to do events and it was like, people buy shots and drinks and it's like, I'm always grateful, but I'm like, I just did like seven in a row. I can't.

[Kevin Clancy]

You know, I mean, the fact that you got out of that with your Shit together is cr. I mean, crazy, right?

[Robert Kelly]

Is Portnoy your boss? Technically? Is that how that works? Yeah, over at Barstool.

[Big J Okerson]

Yeah, he. I mean, he. He created the company and then there was a period of time where we sold it and he was still running the show. But like, technically there was other bosses and now he owns it again.

[Robert Kelly]

Just fair warning, Sue Costello is going to bring him to his knees. I don't know if you follow her on Facebook.

[Kevin Clancy]

Don't say who, okay? Please don't say who. Might as well just say Beetlejuice three times. He's trying to stop.

[Robert Kelly]

Please don't.

[Kevin Clancy]

No, I don't want. Cat, leave Kevin alone. He has a life.

[Robert Kelly]

What am I setting him up for? Anything.

[Kevin Clancy]

He's. I just. Don't bring it. Don't say it.

[Robert Kelly]

Don't what? He's not even taking anyone's back in this. I just wanted to know. She's a comedian.

[Kevin Clancy]

Oh, God.

[Big J Okerson]

Oh, wait.

[Robert Kelly]

Anyway, she's gonna. She's gonna make cbs. CBS is gonna crumble to their knees.

[Big J Okerson]

Because she a Boston comedian. Yeah, okay, I know you're talking about.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Big J Okerson]

I know you're talking about. Yes, yes, Sue.

[Robert Kelly]

Bobby loves her.

[Kevin Clancy]

I mean, we all love her.

[Robert Kelly]

[Big J Okerson]

Yeah, she had. She did have some thing against us and.

[Robert Kelly]

Sue, TV's coming back.

[Big J Okerson]

I know exactly who you're talking about.

[Robert Kelly]

Of course. Didn't you think it was suspicious that we brought it up? By the way, if you think that's not how she types. It is.

[Kevin Clancy]

This is getting very suspenseful.

[Robert Kelly]

Suspenseful. We are going to get sued. But, yeah, they go to war. But I did try the pizza place in my new neighborhood that was based on him. Portnoy certified.

[Big J Okerson]

Did you agree or.

[Robert Kelly]

It was good pizza.

[Kevin Clancy]

I tried the one in Jersey. I actually took this kid, Danny has a show. It's a 50 seater at a French restaurant. I took the show. So I said, I'll do this gig if you get me two of those pizzas. And it was a. I'll fucking do that gig once a month. I mean, outrageous.

[Robert Kelly]

Well, it's such an interesting thing. Like, he's such a notorious character and I didn't understand the brand even. Even when the first time I came to your guys show, I knew you guys and you guys have a comedy show. Essentially a funny show that seemed just like a regular pocket. But his name, I was like, he's the owner of it. But there's so much stuff. He's involved like crazy. But it's controversy or something.

[Big J Okerson]

Turns to gold.

[Robert Kelly]

Yeah.

[Big J Okerson]

Even the, the pizza reviews are like huge.

[Robert Kelly]

Huge. It's a big deal to the, to.

[Big J Okerson]

The restaurants and you notice the locals. Like every time he goes to a new place, he has a whole new audience. He's like, that's my. I want you to agree or disagree.

[Kevin Clancy]

I think he started that thing. Everybody does a review out of 10.

[Big J Okerson]

You know, 5.0, 6.2.

[Kevin Clancy]

They never do.

[Big J Okerson]

Not like, or ABC or any of that. Like, it's, it's not out a hundred. It's always.

[Kevin Clancy]

I was actually showing Christine my new favorite kid who does reviews on food from. From Dave. Let's muck it up.

[Big J Okerson]

That's. That's the kid's name.

[Kevin Clancy]

She can't stand him. He has pejoria and he's from Long Island.

[Robert Kelly]

Progeria.

[Kevin Clancy]

Progeria. That too.

[Robert Kelly]

Dr. Moreau's disease. The little. Remember the freaky thing next to Dr. Moreau? Yeah, that's progeria.

[Kevin Clancy]

I love those little Italian. He goes, let's muck it up. She. Hey, there he is. Oh, Trying to find him. It doesn't come up with muck it up. Oh, muck it up. I'll say.

[Robert Kelly]

He's freaky looking for sure.

[Big J Okerson]

No, but I mean, Dave, whether it's the pizza, he did this like a tick tock show with tick tockers, like hosts that he. That was huge. He does a show now with a couple guys at barstool that just became massive. Like everything he touches.

[Robert Kelly]

Monster.

[Big J Okerson]

He adopted a pit bull and like now tons of money has been donated to animal rights. Forget about. I mean, yes, but also the money that this dog generates, like it legitimately. If you asked him like, you can only have me or this dog as like an employee, he would fire me in a heartbeat.

[Kevin Clancy]

Really?

[Robert Kelly]

This dog.

[Big J Okerson]

The dog makes more money than probably all of us.

[Robert Kelly]

Well, that's good. He should be hiding money in dog bank accounts because Sue Costello is going to bring him to his knees.

[Big J Okerson]

Stop.

[Robert Kelly]

To his knees. Now here's the thing, dude. She's like, she's totally with it and she's mentally sound and totally, absolutely, very funny comedian too. She's going to crumble ball her stool and then.

[Kevin Clancy]

Why?

[Robert Kelly]

CBS is next.

[Kevin Clancy]

Let me ask you a question. Why did he less.

[Robert Kelly]

Moonviz. Mark my words, you'll be brought to your knees.

[Kevin Clancy]

Why did you sell the company and then buy it back?

[Big J Okerson]

He sold it to get a fat bag of cash.

[Kevin Clancy]

Okay.

[Big J Okerson]

And then, then so we sold it to like a casino conglomerate basically. And they. We started like our own sports book with them, right? And so we were going, we were like DraftKings and FanDuel and all that. We had our own, like, sports book. Turns out though, to have, like, to really run a good sports book, you need the best tech and you need the best odds and all that. And going up against fanduel and Serious was like, pretty harder than we thought it was gonna be lofty. And then they wanted to partner up with ESPN and it was kind of like, we can't really be in bed with both of you sort of thing. So they were like, we're gonna like, we love you guys. We had a good relationship. We're gonna sell the company back to you. And then they went, partnered with, you know, McAfee and ESPN and all that. So he was able to, I mean, I, I always joke, I don't even know if I'm joking anymore. He has a deal with the devil.

[Robert Kelly]

He has a deal with the devil to be able to sell your company for $600 million and then just get it back.

[Kevin Clancy]

They gave it back. Well, get the.

[Robert Kelly]

He's about to face.

[Kevin Clancy]

Wait a minute, dude. Wait a minute.

[Robert Kelly]

Maybe. I knew that. Yeah. Just so you know, that's.

[Big J Okerson]

That's the.

[Robert Kelly]

What if he made a deal with the devil? But the Lord warrior, Sue Costell is coming for you, and she will bring.

[Kevin Clancy]

You to your house. What if that's the thing that does.

[Big J Okerson]

Imagine the undoing.

[Robert Kelly]

I can't even acknowledge he acknowledges her. He does acknowledge her.

[Kevin Clancy]

It cuts the. Jay in the documentary. I was kidding. I was just kidding.

[Big J Okerson]

No, but I mean, everything with Dave is like, like, very funny. We all worked hard. All that, but never met him ever. But. Oh, really?

[Kevin Clancy]

Who's the three? Who's the. Is Dave. You.

[Robert Kelly]

Dan?

[Big J Okerson]

Big cat.

[Kevin Clancy]

Big cat.

[Big J Okerson]

Yeah. Those were like, you know, Dave started the whole thing in Boston. I started New York. Dan started Chicago. And for a while, we were kind of like the three guys who.

[Kevin Clancy]

Indianapolis, too, right?

[Big J Okerson]

That was McAfee.

[Kevin Clancy]

McAfee.

[Big J Okerson]

And then he was there for, like, McAfee was always going to. Destined to be like his own star.

[Robert Kelly]

He was part of Barcelona. Yeah.

[Big J Okerson]

When he first retired, he came right to bar.

[Robert Kelly]

Those are those things. I think we talked about this in Nashville. That was one of the shows that I remember, like, years ago, going to do Broad Ripple, Indianapolis, when I was doing press, you know, and they would be like, and if you want to, like, there's a sports. Morning sports show. It's Pat McAfee. He's great. Like, you'd have a good time with him. And I could have gotten to know him in that regard, possibly. And I was just like, was it a mandatory. Like, I have to go do it? They go, no, but if you want to do it. They go, he was the. He was the kicker for the.

[Big J Okerson]

On paper, it does not sound for the Colts.

[Robert Kelly]

And I was like, yeah, dude. And they go, no, dude. He's a wild dude. He's great. And I was like, I'm sure, man, but I don't want to do any more morning press. And I just never went. And now it's like, huge star.

[Kevin Clancy]

I went there. And the same thing at whatever club that was, that I sold, I think 20 tickets, too. Broad Ripple with a balcony.

[Robert Kelly]

Oh, yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

And I remember they had a. They were going to a cigar lounge after, and he was, like, sitting at a table with all these guys. And then I. There was a table of the comics that were there, the local comics. And I didn't sit with him, which I should have. The guy, you know who I sat with the local comics schmuck 20ft away. And I'm like, this is my fucking dumb life.

[Robert Kelly]

Me too. I'm destined. I'm destined to miss. I sat with, with Shane, Shane Gillis when I was doing his show.

[Kevin Clancy]

Never take us down.

[Robert Kelly]

Never bring us to our knees.

[Kevin Clancy]

Be too easy. We're already on our knees.

[Robert Kelly]

I sat in a green room, I sat in a nut in a locker room with Caitlin Clark amongst other people talking with Shane for a half hour. And I just kept my head in my phone. And when they left, everyone was like, Caitlin Clark, dude, that was crazy. I go what? I'm just. And then Shane that when we land that day, he goes, when we landed, I think in Indianapolis, he was like, hey, I'm gonna go because we're gonna go to steakhouse right now. It was like 1pm we're going to steakhouse for lunch. And so I, I made up like, I was like, oh, I gotta do a meeting thing. And didn't go. And he was like, oh, it was great, dude. He's like, McAfee showed up, dude. He's the man. We rule. We all sat in a circle shooting the shit, telling stories. And I was like, yeah, I watched some True Crime on YouTube.

[Big J Okerson]

I like Destined to Mrs. That should be like a name of a book.

[Kevin Clancy]

Or special or something. Destined.

[Big J Okerson]

I just produced by Stu Costello.

[Robert Kelly]

I just whiff it off. How, how is Donnell Rawlings been a multi time guest at Kid Rock's house And Kid Rock still doesn't know my name and walks away. In fact, when I go on stage.

[Kevin Clancy]

When you go on stage, your pee break time.

[Robert Kelly]

He. They said, he said Big J. Dave said Jay Okerson up next. And Kid Rock went and then got up and walked off. At the Kid Rock show. At the Kid Rock show.

[Kevin Clancy]

He's at the Kid Rock show. He's on stage for everybody. Jay goes out and he literally gets up and walks away.

[Robert Kelly]

I, I look until 7 minutes into my 10 minutes said I went, maybe even later. I went, I don't think people should give give hormones or gender reassignment to children. And he, he ran back down. He's like, what are we doing? I go, are you gonna. And then I break your heart. It's a joke. It's gonna be a joke.

[Kevin Clancy]

It's hilarious. That it.

[Robert Kelly]

Here it is. Here we got. Christine's got him. This is Dave Smith introducing me. We were so happy for Dave Smith by the way pauses. We told us on Skanks. But talk about a setup to fail. Endorphin people not knowing Dave's thing. Dave Smith, you know, Dave's like, libertarian, the whole thing. Yeah, he hates Jews. He's a Jewish who hates Jews. He's in beef with another rapper now. Necro, they said, is also now hate Steve, a Jewish rapper who hates Dave now because he thinks Dave's Hitler. But I was standing with Dave and the Dorf. Andrew Dorfman was on before Dave, bringing him up. And he goes, hey, before I bring the next comics up, Bobby, come out here, Bobby. And he brings Kid Rock on stage out to come on stage with him. And he goes, where's the military people here? Where's the military people stand up. All the military people stand. They turn the lights on. All the military people stand up. And Dave Smith is so, like, opinionated. Dave Smith turned to me and he goes, you're all war criminals, which is great. But then he goes. But then he goes, all right, everybody. He goes, thank you, guys. We respect you and love you so much. All right, the next comedian, Dave Smith. And Dave went up and killed.

[Kevin Clancy]

Killed.

[Robert Kelly]

He did fucking great. And then Dave goes. So Christine goes, oh, I'm gonna film. Like, what a cool moment. Like Dave get introduced to me at the Kid Rock show. Twenty years into our friends and. And what a cool moment it is for us to be at this festival. And Dave goes, big J. And you'll see Kid Rock. So Kid Rock and them stand or sit in chairs off stage all along the side. So you see, like, straight ahead is where they would be. Yeah, see them right there.

[Kevin Clancy]

Jay has done this every year for the last four years. Jay shows up at Bobby. He has to call him Kid.

[Robert Kelly]

Me and Kid Rock.

[Kevin Clancy]

You're not allowed to call him Bob.

[Robert Kelly]

Me and Kid Rock are the only two people that are on it. Every year.

[Kevin Clancy]

Every year he's been there.

[Big J Okerson]

It's basically the Kid Rock and Jay Show.

[Kevin Clancy]

He's been there every year. And as soon as they yell, big J, this is what you see.

[Robert Kelly]

Goodbye. They just walk off.

[Kevin Clancy]

But not just one. Oh.

[Robert Kelly]

They go. Everybody goes, I guess Kid Rock thinks this guy's no good. We all just go in the back.

[Big J Okerson]

Oh, my God. Did you see that as you were going on?

[Robert Kelly]

No, no, what I did was. No, what happened was. So I was. I had a beer in my hand, and I sit down on the stool, and then at one point, I just look over. I look over to. As you will just kind of get like. You're almost trained as somebody look over and see, we want to make sure Kid Rock's laughing and enjoying it. And I looked over in mid sentence, it was saying something. I was like. And then the girl says to me, I, oh, where's Kid Rock? I just started asking where. I'm like, where is he?

[Kevin Clancy]

I was.

[Robert Kelly]

What happened?

[Kevin Clancy]

I was buckled over because five minutes before that, I realized that Kid Rock was gone. And I'm just videotaping an empty row of chairs waiting for him. Then he acknowledged it. I was like, ah, this is the best ever.

[Big J Okerson]

Ah, it hurts so much.

[Kevin Clancy]

What are you gonna do, man?

[Robert Kelly]

I wasn't even drinking Bud Light.

[Big J Okerson]

Just Rock, man, skin Rock.

[Robert Kelly]

He's not into me. I have to get that. He's just not that into me. I should read that book. He doesn't care for me. I don't know. They keep asking me to do this. I think they think my energy is good for the show.

[Big J Okerson]

I would think that you guys would be a good match.

[Robert Kelly]

You think? Here's why we'd be a good match ultimately. Because I'll just nod my head at all of his dumb politics I don't care about anyway. You know what I mean?

[Big J Okerson]

I'll shoot the Bud Lights too, bro.

[Robert Kelly]

It's like, you know, Trump was sent here by God. I'm like, yeah, man, can we just do ATVs on your wacky house lawn?

[Big J Okerson]

Let's go to the fake white house.

[Kevin Clancy]

He fanboyed out last year.

[Robert Kelly]

That's where I fucked up.

[Kevin Clancy]

He. Listen, let's just go back.

[Robert Kelly]

Okay, all right, that's fair.

[Kevin Clancy]

He. We had an opportunity last year. We both. Two years. Yeah, Last year we both did it.

[Robert Kelly]

He.

[Kevin Clancy]

We both went up, did the show, killed it. And we're going to his club to hang with Bobby.

[Big J Okerson]

This is Nashville.

[Kevin Clancy]

Nashville, Nashville. Everybody's going to his club. He's going to be there. We're going to hang. I brought cigars, he brought stories. We're going to go to Bobby. We're going back to his house. All the comics are like, yeah, I've been back to his club.

[Robert Kelly]

His club. Oh, we're going to end up being invited to his house.

[Big J Okerson]

Yeah, sure.

[Kevin Clancy]

Our thought was he's going to love us so much. We're going to be best friends because we've talked other comics. Other comics that are not less than us, but yeah.

[Robert Kelly]

Donnell doesn't know a Kid Rock song. I could tell you lyrics to B Sides, right? We should be friends.

[Kevin Clancy]

And I'm so. So we're going back to his house to see the mansion, blah, blah. We're going to party. We've a great story. We get there and there he is. He's right there and denies you right there.

[Robert Kelly]

He comes over to get me me. And he goes, he goes, jay, what's up, man? He goes, let's go over here and talk for a minute, man. He just wanted to, like. And we took what I say about a 15 step walk.

[Kevin Clancy]

15 step walk. I walked over when I saw that happen. I gotta. I wanna go.

[Big J Okerson]

That was my chance. Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

I go over to be part of this.

[Robert Kelly]

In the 15 steps, my. I go, think of a plan. Think of a plan. No reason to. I should have just talked like a human being. Think of a plan. I go, tell him every time you've seen him live and how much you. And how much. And how much you loved it and how great he was. He probably wants to hear me tell him how great he was. And then he turns around, he goes, what's up, man? Great job tonight. And then I. I might as well been like, great job, me. How about, great job you in 1999, when I saw you on the Summer Sanitarium tour when you were there with Kid Rock and Corn and Metallica. And he's like, oh, yeah, that was fun. I'm like, ah, then the one that needs a history of rock. And then. Oh, no. Then Joe C. Died. That was.

[Big J Okerson]

You did like the Chris Farley show. That was awesome.

[Kevin Clancy]

Remember that?

[Robert Kelly]

I walked him through everything he's done. And then by the third event, I'm telling him that I seen him at where we met briefly backstage. He didn't know.

[Kevin Clancy]

Recall.

[Robert Kelly]

He did not recall that. He's starting to do the thing where he's looking past me at other people. And I was like, but, dude, I don't want to hold you up. I know you got a lot of people, whatever. And I just dipped out. And then Bobby came in, buddy.

[Kevin Clancy]

I'm sitting there listening to him talk and I was like, what's happening? I don't understand if it's a good thing or a bad thing, but it felt wrong.

[Robert Kelly]

It was not. It was not going good. You see him losing. His eyes are going blank as he's like, is this lady just gonna keep telling me how great I am? And the way you rap and then you rap and also play instruments.

[Kevin Clancy]

I don't know that, Jay. I know what's up.

[Big J Okerson]

Yeah, I'm stunned to every. Like, I. I could see you being a guy who plays it cool with, like, everybody. Like, I don't know, whatever.

[Robert Kelly]

When we have celebrities coming Here to interview them if we've never met them before. Like, I. The minute before they walk in, if they go, oh, go. They tripped outside. They can't come in, I bet. Okay. Okay, that's good. I get panicky that I'm like, really? Yeah. Bobby's good. Bobby's good.

[Kevin Clancy]

But I don't know this. The J I saw was the J who never got into comedy and just did cheesesteak reviews.

[Big J Okerson]

Hey, you could have been good for business.

[Kevin Clancy]

Who knows? Huge.

[Big J Okerson]

Yeah. I mean, I feel like if you. You're on stage everywhere, you're around all.

[Kevin Clancy]

Are you good with that? Are you good with famous people?

[Big J Okerson]

I think so now. Yeah. I think in the beginning I was good at faking it, and now I'm kind of like, also, I've met enough and they've been like, I have not ever. Like, it hasn't made a difference one way.

[Kevin Clancy]

Who's the most famous person that you've been around?

[Robert Kelly]

You engage with.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah. That you had to engage with. You had to talk to and hang.

[Big J Okerson]

Out with, like, interviewed or hung out with because, like, different.

[Kevin Clancy]

You know, you had to be in a place and just like, what's up? And exchange, you know, nice.

[Robert Kelly]

Either.

[Big J Okerson]

I mean, the interview wise, I mean, we did like, Mark Wahlberg was like a. Like a.

[Kevin Clancy]

You know, it's pretty big.

[Big J Okerson]

Chris Hemsworth was probably the biggest one.

[Kevin Clancy]

That's huge.

[Big J Okerson]

That was a big one. I was like. And that one, I. I openly was like, I'm just gonna fanboy. I was just like, you're so good looking. You're Thor. You're awesome. You're the man.

[Kevin Clancy]

But I'm talking. I'm not on the podcast, but, like, yeah, hanging out. I'm talking, like, after the podcast, when you take the pictures, I mean, that's where it gets tough.

[Big J Okerson]

Yeah.

[Robert Kelly]

Yeah. You know what I mean?

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah, yeah.

[Robert Kelly]

Really Crumbs.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah. Like here, it's like, blah blue. You can ask the questions.

[Big J Okerson]

Right.

[Kevin Clancy]

But right. As soon as it's over. Okay, cool.

[Big J Okerson]

You're back to being more famous than I. In this moment, we might be equals. Yeah.

[Robert Kelly]

When we have a celebrity, on we go. All right, everybody, that's Gavin Rosdale. We'll be right back. It's the bonfire. I wish I could just, like, just slink under the table so he never sees me.

[Big J Okerson]

I always do the same thing. I'm like, so you got any more press? Like, are you going home after this? Like, that small talk does suck.

[Robert Kelly]

And you got to do that. And you get. You're going to get it in a little bit. And we have to, like. We just got to grab a quick picture real quick.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah.

[Big J Okerson]

Oh, man.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah.

[Big J Okerson]

Vertical, sideways.

[Robert Kelly]

And you got to burden them with, like. Oh, and also, can you do a. Hey, you're listening to the Bonfire.

[Big J Okerson]

Yeah. Yeah. Brian Cranston was a big one. I liked him a lot. And there's also the guys who are really good. You know, who's great at making me feel like he knows me, and he clearly has no idea. It's Kevin Hart. Every time we've done Kevin, he's been like, great to see you guys again. You're killing it. You guys got so much better since last time.

[Robert Kelly]

He doesn't treat me like.

[Big J Okerson]

No, you don't know.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah. Last time I saw him, I was at the Cellar. He walked up to me and went, why are you still doing this? And then walked away. And then I sat there for two hours going in my head, why am.

[Robert Kelly]

I still doing this? Last time I heard from him, Bobby had to basically, essentially emotionally walk me over to him, holding my hand, and go, kevin, this is your old friend Jay. Why don't you answer his message? And Kevin went, okay. And then did for a week, and.

[Kevin Clancy]

Then talked to him for a week and blocked me. I looked. Whatever.

[Big J Okerson]

You got blocked by Kevin Hart.

[Kevin Clancy]

Whatever little friendship I still had with Kevin from coming up in the city, I. I lit on fire to give to him for a week.

[Big J Okerson]

Hey, you're a good friend.

[Robert Kelly]

Bobby's a great. Bobby's a great friend, and he has walked away from many possible famous relationships because of something. Because he listened to me saying to do the funniest thing in the moment. Yep. So he's ruined a relationship with, I believe, Captain America.

[Kevin Clancy]

Captain America's gone. Gone that close to being pals.

[Robert Kelly]

And we saw it happen.

[Big J Okerson]

Have been like the buddy in the movie.

[Kevin Clancy]

Who knows now?

[Robert Kelly]

We watched it. We watched it happen. Bobby texted him something that we all thought was funny.

[Big J Okerson]

Chris Evans. Yeah.

[Robert Kelly]

And it was blue. Went through blue.

[Kevin Clancy]

Well, here's what. Let's go back a little bit. I had an incident with him. Got his number, texted him too quick that night. Should have waited a few days. I texted him, good meat. I meant to put good meeting you. Just good me a great meeting you. I wrote great meat and then didn't respond. Then look like hours later.

[Robert Kelly]

Did you spell meat the right way?

[Big J Okerson]

I went, no, Great meat.

[Robert Kelly]

No, dude, great meat. M E A T. Oh, shit. Bobby doesn't know how to spell or read. Did you write great meat?

[Kevin Clancy]

I wrote great M E E T. But still.

[Big J Okerson]

Where'd you meet? Where did you meet him?

[Kevin Clancy]

I met him at Boston Comics. Come home, and I was literally talking to his mom. Didn't know he was there. He had the beard. Making his mom crack up. She was like, you were so funny, but. And I look over, and as I'm killing this, I'm murdering with this lady in the VIP room.

[Robert Kelly]

I didn't know you were Mama America.

[Kevin Clancy]

I look, Captain America is dying, and he's like, dude, what the. Like, hanging out in Boston, Okay? And then he's like, dude, you got to give me a number. Blah. Yeah.

[Robert Kelly]

Oh.

[Big J Okerson]

So he said it like, give me your number, dude.

[Kevin Clancy]

I was like, yeah, sure. Here's my night, dude. Call me, all right? And I. I was so proud of myself that I was like, yeah, dude, cool. All right, I'll see you later. I ended it perfect. Walked away, and you just took one step. I was so excited that night. I'm in the hotel. Good meat. And I just, like, shouldn't have. Shouldn't have never, ever done it.

[Robert Kelly]

Thick meat, Girth meat.

[Kevin Clancy]

Andrew Schultz saved me, though. Six months later, six months, eight months later, I'm on my podcast telling him that, you know, this happened. He goes, here's what you do. I'll fix it for you. He goes, right now, Text him, asshole. And I'm like, no. He goes, just text him, asshole right now. Trust me. I go, all right. So I text that, right? He goes, wait, 20 minutes. So we do the podcast. He goes, all right. Text back, sorry, wrong number. How you doing, bro? I text back. So I Wrong number. How you doing, bro? He texts back, ah, good, man. I'm just in Atlanta right now filming End Games. I'm in. I'm back in. But later that night, I It up. But I texted.

[Big J Okerson]

What'd you say?

[Kevin Clancy]

I said something like, I hope thinking.

[Robert Kelly]

About your loss, some stupid.

[Kevin Clancy]

Like, dude, I love the movie.

[Big J Okerson]

I don't know, dude, your shield's so cool.

[Robert Kelly]

We did a.

[Kevin Clancy]

And then cut to coming here, and he fucking ruined it.

[Robert Kelly]

I. When I went. Christine's watched me do it when I went to. I opened for Shane at that Wells Fargo in Philly, and I knew a bunch of, like, a bunch of the Eagles came and stuff.

[Big J Okerson]

Yeah, yeah.

[Robert Kelly]

And even when they come up and they were like. Even after the show, and they're like, hey, man, really funny stuff.

[Big J Okerson]

I'm like, yeah, that's crazy, dude. I would not think that of you. I don't know, dude.

[Robert Kelly]

Jalen. Afterward, Jalex Hunt, who's going to Be a defensive monster. Came up to me and he was like. He's like, dude, man. Jalex, man. He goes, that was really, really funny. And I was like, you're. You're good. I mean, I guess. Gotta walk away.

[Kevin Clancy]

So weird.

[Robert Kelly]

I stay outside most of the. Everyone was in there. The Philadelphia Phillies. Alex Baum was there.

[Kevin Clancy]

Jay's fantastic.

[Robert Kelly]

I just. I just like. I shake hands, I go, it's nice to meet you. And then I just get away from them.

[Kevin Clancy]

Jay is fantastic around Justin Silver and Josh. Adam Myers fucking murders.

[Robert Kelly]

I dominate, kills.

[Kevin Clancy]

It runs the room.

[Robert Kelly]

I can really hold court now.

[Kevin Clancy]

Are you still going? You guys still have the offices downtown?

[Big J Okerson]

Yep.

[Kevin Clancy]

And everything now is. The company is just killing it right now, right?

[Big J Okerson]

Yeah, I think so. I mean, we kind of split back up. We used to be all in different cities. Then we all came together in New York, all under one roof. Kind of targeted. It's almost like a reality show.

[Robert Kelly]

Right.

[Big J Okerson]

And then Big Cap took a bunch of people to go back to Chicago, where he's from. Dave moved to Florida to evade taxes, and now we're, like, left, you know, like, still. Look, we kept the New York office.

[Robert Kelly]

The office there was dope.

[Big J Okerson]

Cool. It's very cool.

[Kevin Clancy]

And you're up in Best Chester.

[Big J Okerson]

Yes, that's right.

[Kevin Clancy]

Bestchester boys. Right here. Oh, yeah.

[Big J Okerson]

I don't call him Best Chester.

[Kevin Clancy]

Wow. Kev. It's okay, Kev. We do. I'm sorry. I out of you. I shouldn't have did that. That's against Best. Just the boys rules.

[Robert Kelly]

Damn. Thank God that we're a good combo Bobby, though, in that regard with the. When the celebrities come in here, you're good at the early schmooze and you're good at the. And then I can come in.

[Kevin Clancy]

But here's what you do great. You. You throw up in that. I wouldn't have said. And you said you. You say some stuff. You break them open, make them laugh and. And make it a better interview. It's not like this stock interview they've been doing all day.

[Robert Kelly]

I have to watch. I'm telling you as soon as it goes. And I see it, like, because I dumb. I want them to laugh and like me so much that I'm like. Even if I'm saying something like a up joke or something, there's still my intention, is that they're gonna like it. We're gonna laugh.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah.

[Big J Okerson]

Yeah.

[Robert Kelly]

So saying so I think something. I forget what it was even. There's a Billy Idol a moment. We got Billy Idle last week. Where I said something funny. I was like. Or blah, blah, blah. And he went. And I was like, well, I'm done.

[Big J Okerson]

I'll kill myself now.

[Robert Kelly]

I'm like, well, Billy Idol hates my guts. It's official, buddy.

[Kevin Clancy]

I'm. This is amazing. This is a great gift too. You know, you're trying to buy somebody something for Christmas or their birthday or bringing something to a party. I hate. Like, I don't want to buy beer or whatever. And there you go. This is the perfect gift. You don't want to buy a big thing of whiskey, which is weird.

[Big J Okerson]

No, it feels a little classy. It's affordable too.

[Robert Kelly]

What's the mark? Is there like a ton of like? Because I think the. Ready to pour already? Martini espresso is rare. Yeah.

[Big J Okerson]

I was gonna say. I mean, there's a couple others that are like in the market, but I think the like shaking, foaming thing is like. I mean, when we. I went down to their Sazerac, they went down to like their, I guess, distillery. Yeah.

[Kevin Clancy]

Wow.

[Big J Okerson]

And they like, is pretty. Yeah. They're a big time distributor and they. They were like, with a. Jay's mad at me.

[Kevin Clancy]

He thinks I don't know what Sazerac is. I'm just saying.

[Robert Kelly]

I must believe you.

[Big J Okerson]

But the girl who like made it is like a chemical engineer. You know what I mean? She was like doing like science to create this foaming thing. So I think it is probably the best on the market. And that's not Jacob.

[Robert Kelly]

Jacob's going to use the booze up the teen girls he keeps trapped in his apartment.

[Kevin Clancy]

Yeah, fantastic.

[Robert Kelly]

Stay awake.

[Big J Okerson]

I thought, you know, one one martinis usually like 20 bucks. So I was like, this is probably going to be a high end price point and I'm. People going to be mad at me, but them. And so I thought it was going to be like an $80 bottle or 20 bucks.

[Kevin Clancy]

How many do you get in it? How many?

[Big J Okerson]

Probably four. I would say four or five.

[Kevin Clancy]

What a great gift.

[Robert Kelly]

Get a girl nice and drunk. But w. That's a different kind of drunk. She's like, I'm blacked out. I have no idea what's going on. I'm blacked out.

[Big J Okerson]

Burpee.

[Robert Kelly]

Burpees. Burpees. I'm blacked out. Is my tits out. I don't care. I'll. Anybody. Burpees. Turkish getups. Looking wired and hammered. I love it. Kevin Clancy's Midnight Bean is available right now.

And most importantly, that foam, when you shake it and pour, no espresso machine necessary whatsoever. Make sure you check it out. Available. It's online ordering.

You can get it. It's gonna be like nationwide. It takes a little while to roll out, but it'll be in liquor stores, bars, like everywhere.

[Big J Okerson]

If it's not, you can just ask the person another place to stock it. They have it through their distributor.
