Robert Kelly
That's what I thought it was.
Big Jay Oakerson
And you're not wrong. There's only so many things you could do with a song. I never noticed this before. Apparently this is an old thing. But I saw a clip today, a video of Kurt Cobain, and he was there was there was Nirvana back in like 90, maybe three or something. That shows him 92. It's playing smells Like Teen Spirit.
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Big Jay Oakerson
But I guess people were saying that it's the same chords as More Than a Feeling. You seen this before?
Robert Kelly
Yes.
Big Jay Oakerson
And so they start playing More Than a Feeling kind of before it. It's pretty cool video, but it's. They start playing and when you hear it, though, you are like, yeah, it is the same that happens a thousand times.
Robert Kelly
There was a guy, like, he had this piano lesson where you learn how to play any song with like fucking three things.
Big Jay Oakerson
Chords.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, yeah. And he was like, this is this song bing, bing, bing. And I was like, holy shit. I could play the piano. And then I got an organ and never touched it. There's only so many combinations.
Big Jay Oakerson
It really is.
Robert Kelly
How many instruments have you gotten in your life where you're like, I'm gonna be this.
Big Jay Oakerson
Stop trying to make us feel better about what Max did with you with that saxophone. We've all done that, right? Just got a thousand really expensive instruments. Never played them once.
Robert Kelly
I remember I was gonna do harmonica.
Big Jay Oakerson
I was never gonna do. Yeah, the book and everything. I was never gonna do harmonica. I was gonna do guitar several times. Keyboard once.
Robert Kelly
Guitar was my dream.
Big Jay Oakerson
And then I was gonna get good at drums at one point. But I just got like passively fun while I'm at home. Drums.
Robert Kelly
Yeah. You could go into Guitar center and go.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, yeah. You want me to play along with Back in Black?
Robert Kelly
Yeah. Sample. I did that with the Comedy Jam and I thought it was a God gang.
Big Jay Oakerson
So easy.
Robert Kelly
Oh, it was so great.
Big Jay Oakerson
Then I saw a video today from Skankfest. I forgot that when they did say it ain't so, Sam Talon jumped on drum and just. Sam Talon's so goofy, like in appearance. And he's just dancing. He's like. He was killing. It kills. So good.
Robert Kelly
So good. It's like, Billy Burr is great on drums. Yeah, he's really good on drums. But Billy plays like. Sam when he was playing is like the way I would want to play drums. The way Billy plays drums.
Big Jay Oakerson
Billy learned from the time I watched him learning drums. Or at least maybe getting back into it. You said he was drums when he was younger too.
Robert Kelly
He played drums back in. When I first met him.
Big Jay Oakerson
Because when I. When the times I was friends with him, I remember he got his electric kit. We were like, holy shit. Then he had to put the padding down because the neighbors. So he was the one that taught us all the electric drum shit. He was getting tapes, but he was Bill from the get go. Like A fucking dweeb was learning how to read drum music. He wants to, like, do it. Like, the actual. And I'm like, dude, what do you waste your time for, man? You want to hear me play Moby Dick? Put on Moby Dick, dude. I'll play along with it. He.
Robert Kelly
I went to his house in la.
Big Jay Oakerson
He's gonna feel it, man.
Robert Kelly
I went to his house in la, and he has a drum room.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
With like a gretchet holy set.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
And I remember when I was leaving, he said, dude, you got to get a drum room. I'm like, what? I have a three bedroom ranch with no basement. What the am I gonna put. He goes, dude, you got to get a drum room and you got to get an antique car, dude. I'm like, $70,000.
Big Jay Oakerson
Here's the mistake you're making. You're leaving all that ground underneath your helipad as just ground. You can make that an extra room.
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Big Jay Oakerson
I didn't think my helipad. Dude, you don't have a helipad up there. But then, wow. Okay. Well, we went different directions, huh?
Robert Kelly
I was talking about, like, Motley Crue, right? And he sent me handwritten.
Big Jay Oakerson
Bobby, why you dress like you're gonna meet Meg Ryan for a New York daytime date?
Robert Kelly
Well, I wasn't gonna say anything. I wasn't gonna say anything because I was gonna say it on the live show, but I. I met. I did meet.
Big Jay Oakerson
You met a girl.
Robert Kelly
I didn't meet a girl. I met Susan Sarandon for lunch.
Jacob
So.
Big Jay Oakerson
You'Re really. You're ready for a meet cute in the Central park with that indoor.
Robert Kelly
Actually, I had a lunch with Guy Ritchie today.
Big Jay Oakerson
Baby, it's cold outside.
Robert Kelly
I'm gonna. I'm gonna be in gentleman's too.
Big Jay Oakerson
Baby, it's cold outside. Dude.
Robert Kelly
He's making a movie called Dudes.
Jacob
Dudes.
Robert Kelly
I really am dressed like.
Big Jay Oakerson
Who's this? Whoever the next person walks in here do, I want you to attack him. Physically attack him. This guy walks in here, I want you to. I mean, lay his ass out, ask questions later. We were under attack. There it is. Like, Lou, hey, there's your moment.
Robert Kelly
Attack him, Lou.
Big Jay Oakerson
There's your moment to shine.
Robert Kelly
Can I help you, brother?
Big Jay Oakerson
I'm trying to see your lights.
Robert Kelly
Like, because you're on drugs or because you.
Big Jay Oakerson
Escobar said Escobar. Escobar's back.
Robert Kelly
Escobar's back. I thought he got killed.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, my God. New York Studio four personnel and studio lights have shut off.
Robert Kelly
Studio three or four. Yeah, this is three Nah, man, don't worry about it. We like visitors. We love visitors. We're lonely in here.
Big Jay Oakerson
This place sucks.
Robert Kelly
And if there's one thing the studio doesn't need is lights, by the way.
Big Jay Oakerson
He'S looking and he sees the lights. Then he opens the door and he goes, I'm here about the lights that are out. He goes, lights are on, man.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, including the on air light that's clearly on that you're ignoring.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah. This place is the retarded.
Robert Kelly
We should have threw shit at him.
Big Jay Oakerson
No one makes sense. By the way, there's just a new terrifying Jamaican at the front desk now. What happened to our big titted girl?
Robert Kelly
I already made friends with him.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, nice. Good move, dude.
Robert Kelly
I walked up, I was like, what's up, man? How you feeling today? He's like, I'm good. How you feeling?
Big Jay Oakerson
Did you give him a complicated handshake?
Robert Kelly
No, I didn't give him. I was working on that.
Big Jay Oakerson
That's the move.
Robert Kelly
Yeah. That's why I dress like this today. So he respect me.
Big Jay Oakerson
Handshake.
Robert Kelly
He would think I was a distinguished gentleman.
Big Jay Oakerson
I came in, I actually, I was act like I was on the phone having a long conversation about how I thought the bad guys in Steven Seagal's marks for death were the good guys. I don't know. Those twins were pretty cool, if you ask me. I mean, look what Steven Seagal's become.
Robert Kelly
You know, Screw face was just doing what screw face does.
Big Jay Oakerson
Face do. A screw face does. And there was two screw faces.
Robert Kelly
Yeah. There's all kinds of religions.
Big Jay Oakerson
A mother lost two sons that week.
Robert Kelly
Yeah. Some people believe in a guy that walked on water. Some people believe in guys. You have to chill a kitten, chicken and a goat and, you know, rape a chick.
Big Jay Oakerson
Screw face.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, dude. But Billy Burr sent me.
Big Jay Oakerson
He.
Robert Kelly
Then he sent me in the mail, handwritten music. No drums for the drums for. For Motley Crue's. What song was it? I think what? The song was it Girls?
Big Jay Oakerson
Girls. Girls.
Robert Kelly
Nope, don't go.
Big Jay Oakerson
Kick Start My Heart.
Robert Kelly
No, earlier not Live Wire. After Livewire.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, Shout the Devil.
Robert Kelly
Nope.
Big Jay Oakerson
That should be more complicated.
Robert Kelly
Nope. 2, 2, 2.
Big Jay Oakerson
La Rue. La Rue. That's Runners. The song's called Coming Too Fast.
Robert Kelly
Too Fast for Love. That it? Yeah, yeah. He sent me handwritten. And he goes, all right, dude, here you go. Just all you gotta do is. I go, dude, I don't read music. I don't know. What.
Big Jay Oakerson
What an asshole.
Robert Kelly
What? A ball with a stick with another ball attached to it.
Big Jay Oakerson
But you're right. When I watch Bill Burr play the COVID songs, I go, he's nailing it how it's supposed to be nailed. By the book.
Robert Kelly
By the book, Sam.
Big Jay Oakerson
Talent. I don't know if he nailed everything exactly how it goes. He's like singing it while he's playing it because I feel like he was just. He knows how it goes. If there's an extra cymbal crash in there or something, it's.
Robert Kelly
He's.
Big Jay Oakerson
It's still in rhythm. Doesn't matter. And I like that. I like that. I like the playing along with it.
Robert Kelly
When we were doing sex, drugs, rock and roll.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah, yeah.
Robert Kelly
We were doing Comics Come home.
Big Jay Oakerson
You were 13 years old.
Robert Kelly
No, I was not.
Big Jay Oakerson
Drugs and rock and roll.
Robert Kelly
No, I did not.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, you mean the show.
Robert Kelly
The show.
Big Jay Oakerson
I thought you meant life.
Robert Kelly
No, I've done that. No, the show.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah, we did.
Robert Kelly
Comics Come Home.
Big Jay Oakerson
Bobby lived the life of a fucking coke addict. 30 year old when he was 13. And then was the most boring adult ever. Oh yeah, dude, for sure. You guys should have met me when I was 13. Oh, 13 year old Bobby Kelly and a 30 year old Mitch Hedberg would have fucking parties.
Robert Kelly
I just. That's so funny.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh my God. By the time you were 30 years old, you were having coffee at all dude dances.
Robert Kelly
I really was. I was in church, baby. I was talking about spirituality and a higher power.
Big Jay Oakerson
Donuts and coffee. Trying to get laid without alcohol with a real conversation about life.
Robert Kelly
I was saying sorry after I did second base with a girl. Is this okay?
Big Jay Oakerson
I just like to make sure everything's okay.
Robert Kelly
But he, he. I go into, I go into the rehearsals. Like not rehearsals, but before the show. Two drum kits. I was like, oh my God. I. Dennis is going to ask me to play the drums with the band.
Big Jay Oakerson
Wow.
Robert Kelly
And I'm sitting there like I kind of sat down at the kit and I was like, this is great. All right, I got it. I'm gonna play one. The song from the show. I got it. And then Burr came and sat down at his kit and it was a rental kit for him and he won a plane at the end. I was just throwing T shirts out like a loser.
Jacob
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
Play good though.
Big Jay Oakerson
Officially played good.
Robert Kelly
God damn, he plays good. Bird plays great. But it is, he's very. It's. It's.
Big Jay Oakerson
He's by the book. He knows how it goes.
Robert Kelly
There's no. Yeah, there's that face. That drum face. Sam Talon had it. That drum face.
Big Jay Oakerson
No, I see. He's like singing the word. Him and Josh were doing the connecting there. It was pretty great.
Robert Kelly
Yeah. Josh came up at the end. Okay, we're going to end this on.
Big Jay Oakerson
My Q. Josh came up, sang loud, and everybody started the song over. No one knew what was going on. He was a little out of his tree. We may have got him on track. We may go. Josh back on track. I don't know. I don't keep up.
Robert Kelly
I bought a. I bought my first guitar. I bought. Before I even know how to play a note. Was a. Eleven hundred dollar Italian. Some fucking. I had to wait like three months.
Big Jay Oakerson
Accordion.
Robert Kelly
It was a acoustic electric.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, jeez.
Robert Kelly
I had to wait like three months for it to be shipped in. I. I went to my guitar teacher's house and he wasn't there. And I never played it. I showed up and I was just standing in front of his door for like an hour. And then he called me like, yo, man, sorry. I got held up at rehearsal. And I was like, all right. And I never touched the guitar.
Big Jay Oakerson
My bad, man. I didn't give a. It turns out, dude, Mike's fault. Turns out I don't give a. At all.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, you know what? I can't get past the guitar thing.
Big Jay Oakerson
Turn that. Put that volume on.
Robert Kelly
Hurting your fingers.
Big Jay Oakerson
You could hear him. Started over too. Yeah, Pretty great. Yeah, that was fun to watch.
Robert Kelly
Maybe I'll play drums next year. How about that? Yeah, see, Bill, he is. I mean, there is.
Big Jay Oakerson
Back when Josh had Ron Jeremy hair.
Robert Kelly
He actually is. He's smiling really big.
Big Jay Oakerson
He. No, no, no, no. He's. Bill loves playing the drum. I'm not saying that at all. I'm not saying he doesn't. That he's not feeling it either. I'm just saying Bill is. He's super. He's technical as fuck.
Robert Kelly
He's like the drummer from the Stones.
Big Jay Oakerson
It looks. He doesn't look like he's having as much fun.
Robert Kelly
He's like the drummer from the Stones of the Beatles. Not Neil Pert or Tommy Lee.
Big Jay Oakerson
Tommy Lee, right.
Robert Kelly
I love Tommy Lee.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah. You want someone.
Robert Kelly
Cause there's no reason he has to go up that high to hit the fucking snare. No, but he does, dude.
Big Jay Oakerson
Wrong. Wrong. What was it called? Famous. Most famous video. Wrong gig drummer. Dude, that's the drummer we all want to be. You want to play sharp dressed man like that, making faces and Weird guy was all over the place. Wrong gig drummer.
Robert Kelly
You want a drum face. I mean, oh, he's the best. There's no reason for any of that.
Big Jay Oakerson
Even the kit.
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Big Jay Oakerson
This song could be played while you're watching television.
Jacob
It's the best.
Big Jay Oakerson
Such a basics.
Robert Kelly
He looks like Tim Dillon.
Big Jay Oakerson
He does look like young Tim Dylan.
Robert Kelly
Yeah. If Tim Dillon played the drums, that's how he'd play.
Big Jay Oakerson
But that's how I want to play drums. I would do this.
Robert Kelly
Oh my God.
Big Jay Oakerson
The other guys couldn't be stiffer.
Robert Kelly
Top hat. It's a stiff. I'm not saying day today where. What is this event? I don't know.
Big Jay Oakerson
It's a fucking wedding or a fucking whatever.
Robert Kelly
I bet he gets hired a lot.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, I'm sure. I bet he still gets work based off of this.
Robert Kelly
He should hire from Skagfest. You should get him to Skagfest.
Big Jay Oakerson
I would love to have rug drummer.
Robert Kelly
We should have him at Skag Fest.
Big Jay Oakerson
I love. But Nick's such a killer drummer too.
Robert Kelly
He's great too.
Big Jay Oakerson
He's another one too. Plays by a lot of feel. Nick's all face and singing along and barking with Joe. You see his fees, like leaning forward. He's so into it. Yeah.
Robert Kelly
He just looks like he's trying to get a ring back to some volcano somewhere.
Big Jay Oakerson
Absolutely. Well, the hat comes up. It's a whole new world under there. Precious.
Robert Kelly
I love the drums.
Big Jay Oakerson
Beautiful wife he has.
Robert Kelly
Beautiful wife.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah. Michelle. Why whiffing on her last name? She's a beautiful comedian. Very funny too. Oh, is this the Nirvani have Up More Than a Feeling Teen Spirit?
Robert Kelly
I love. I love him as a drummer.
Big Jay Oakerson
That's not Dave Grohl.
Robert Kelly
It's not Dave Grohl?
Big Jay Oakerson
No, not there.
Robert Kelly
Oh, he really.
Big Jay Oakerson
I don't think so.
Robert Kelly
When did he come into the band?
Big Jay Oakerson
Huh?
Jacob
I thought that last shot was Dave.
Big Jay Oakerson
I don't think it was Dave. His hair's too short.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, but he had short hair at the beginning.
Jacob
The beginning.
Big Jay Oakerson
No, he didn't. No. I mean, it's crazy. Long in the beginning. Pin straight and long.
Robert Kelly
I literally just said that to say it. And I didn't think you were going to call me on it.
Big Jay Oakerson
I thought Jacob backed you up like a lunatic.
Robert Kelly
And I was. I was befuddled when he backed me up. I was like, wow, maybe I'm right.
Big Jay Oakerson
I don't think that's Dave Gr in that particular.
Robert Kelly
Who was the first drummer? Who was the drummer for the band?
Big Jay Oakerson
I don't know. The first drum was. He was the drummer when they got famous for sure.
Robert Kelly
Okay.
Big Jay Oakerson
From the time you knew Nirvana, Dave Grohl was a drummer.
Robert Kelly
But then he's a great drummer.
Big Jay Oakerson
Great drummer.
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Big Jay Oakerson
And he thinks he's. He thinks he's an okay drummer. He thinks he's a guitar player.
Robert Kelly
Well, if you know he's a good drummer. Van Halen's son.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, Wolfgang. Wolfgang.
Robert Kelly
Great drums. No, no drums.
Big Jay Oakerson
I mean Alex. Alex.
Robert Kelly
No, no, Wolfgang play drums too. He plays brilliant.
Jacob
He plays his uncle.
Big Jay Oakerson
He's a guitarist. No, dude, he is a guitar. I didn't know he did both.
Robert Kelly
He plays every instrument. On one of his songs he does a video where he goes in and plays every single instrument.
Big Jay Oakerson
Wow.
Jacob
Yeah, the albums. He plays every instrument.
Robert Kelly
Sick.
Jacob
Phenomenal.
Big Jay Oakerson
Drummer sounds cheap. Sick drummer sounds very cheap.
Jacob
He covers his dad's. He covers Alex Van Halen on drumeo. He goes through his.
Big Jay Oakerson
His uncle's to just show it's not that impressive.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, there he is.
Jacob
He's such a good drummer.
Robert Kelly
Dude, watch this. Dude, I know Eddie Van Allen.
Jacob
I just started him on drums.
Robert Kelly
I just wish he'd get on Ozempic. He's such a good looking dude.
Big Jay Oakerson
Lev fur should be Wolfgang Van Halen. You should kill Wolfgang V. Van Halen and take over his life. Guns and Rose is coming back, by the way.
Robert Kelly
I know 40 shows.
Big Jay Oakerson
August 12th, MetLife.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, but do you really want to see Guns N' Roses with Sweaty Ball? Alex. I mean, what's his name? Axel?
Big Jay Oakerson
Alex. Alex Rose.
Robert Kelly
I was thinking Van Halen. Axl Rose singing. Yeah, he doesn't even sound good. Yes, you do.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah, he actually, the way they. I mean, the way they have him all like loaded up with like effects on the show. He sounds fine live because I would say I was surprised how good he did sound live because being like, I know he doesn't sound very good, but out. But technically he hadn't sounded good live plenty of times when they were young, in their prime. Yeah, they had like a Grammys appearance once or something.
Robert Kelly
May have been Patience blew out his voice.
Big Jay Oakerson
It just sounds like it's the worst performance. I mean, well, he wasn't trying. It looked terrible.
Robert Kelly
He has no power left and he's got too many shows. The only way to heal your voice is to rest it. And he doesn't take a break.
Big Jay Oakerson
He's talking about when he was younger.
Robert Kelly
No, currently he's got no power.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, no, no, no. I'm saying I haven't heard. No, no, I'm talking about years ago, when he was young.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Big Jay Oakerson
He did an award show, one of those award shows. Performances of Patience. Me and my stepfather were watching that. I forget what it was. American Music Awards, who knows? But we were just like, yuck. Yeah, he looked, he looked great. It was still like the height of his cool.
Robert Kelly
Right.
Big Jay Oakerson
Just. But then, you know, they did November rain on the MTV awards with Elton John is one of the greatest fucking performances. That was good. That's one of the greatest. And he sounds great.
Robert Kelly
I just hate that he wears True Religion jeans still.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, he butt flaps.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, dude.
Big Jay Oakerson
It's like, yeah. Dane Cook butt flap jeans.
Jacob
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
Just big buttons on the back of his ass.
Big Jay Oakerson
Fucking Axl Rosen's button ass dumb hat combo.
Robert Kelly
I hate his lack of dancing. Now his big move is to walk backwards.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah. Or just like. Or does it go like a weird, like. Like step forward? Like it's like a two step walk. It's like instead of walking, he just takes like half steps.
Robert Kelly
Yeah. He used to dance so crazy and great. And now it's just like, oh, look, I'm moving around.
Big Jay Oakerson
But are you going to go.
Jacob
The tour to see them on? Because they finally changed that boring drummer they were touring with. The guy that their new drummer so much, but he saw he was so boring, played with no energy. And their new drummer.
Big Jay Oakerson
I like when you shout to the black person over your shoulder.
Jacob
I couldn't believe they kept him for so long.
Big Jay Oakerson
What are you saying? He had no soul.
Robert Kelly
Yeah. Can you just call him power? Can you just say drummer? You have to say black drummer.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Jacob
He had no power.
Big Jay Oakerson
Actually, if you could say drama would be nicer. Drummer seems a little harsh.
Jacob
Jay brought up the race. I'm just saying.
Robert Kelly
You didn't deny it.
Big Jay Oakerson
Thanks. Thanks for covering yourself there. Jay brought the race.
Robert Kelly
Bon Jovi is another one who does that. He has a move, that little hop. He spreads his little V and then he just hops up and down.
Big Jay Oakerson
I know. It's over for a guy used to fly over the audience with the microphone like that. Yeah. It's pretty crazy.
Jacob
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
That's why I love Billy Joel. He just sits at the piano.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yep. No, no, no. That's not true. Billy Joel, at the end of the set, always, he gets up for the first doo wop phase. Run through for that little part of the set. He gets up and he car. He brings a microphone stand that I'm telling you, weighs 3 ounces. Because the whole thing is him just, like spinning it.
Robert Kelly
Oh, yeah.
Big Jay Oakerson
Spinning in his hand so he could do pale hair about it to fall.
Robert Kelly
And he kicks it back up. Sometimes he doesn't catch it when he.
Big Jay Oakerson
Sometimes he doesn't catch it. And he'll go like this. He'll go. But the crowd just like.
Robert Kelly
Billy, do you remember the. The one he Can't. When I went. And I. Something's wrong with his eye.
Big Jay Oakerson
Did. Oh, yes. What do you mean?
Robert Kelly
Dude? We're.
Big Jay Oakerson
We're in the.
Robert Kelly
We're in the concert. I went with Calda and he's the guy. Billy Joel's the guy. You're like, I don't want to fucking go. And then you go. You're like, I'm so glad I went.
Big Jay Oakerson
So glad I went.
Robert Kelly
You're like, this is the greatest.
Big Jay Oakerson
It's the best.
Robert Kelly
It's the best.
Big Jay Oakerson
But then four, four or five songs in it where you're like, I don't care. But there's 17 that you go, oh, right, yeah.
Robert Kelly
As soon as you're there, you're like, oh, this is great. Right in the middle of the concert, they have all the. He has a very low budget set. It's just the big Trinitrons vertical ones. And he looked to the crowd and his left eye was bulging out of his head. And you heard the crowd go, I have a photo of it on my phone, guys.
Big Jay Oakerson
Let me put my eyeball back.
Robert Kelly
There's a photo of his eye. And we're all like. Everybody turned to each other like, what's wrong with Billy? Because his eye was fucking popping out of his head for some reason when he went down for the last time. When he fell, he was doing the microphone trick and he never got back on stage again.
Big Jay Oakerson
Just see. I want you to know also that Christine, the piece of shit that she is, whoa. Trying to catch a free trip. Whoa. She goes, guns. Did you see Guns N Roses Touring? She told me like a week ago.
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Big Jay Oakerson
Before I saw the announcement. You see Guns N roses touring doing 40 cities. 40, 40 cities. They're not doing everywhere, though. But they are doing Paris. She didn't say they are doing New York also.
Robert Kelly
What?
Big Jay Oakerson
She made it seem like they, like New York wasn't. And then I drove by MetLife yesterday and I was like, Nice. Oh, 15 minutes from my house.
Robert Kelly
That's better. Paris, you have to. You have to go to the Atlantic or 15 minutes from your house.
Big Jay Oakerson
You want to see Guns N Roses dying on stage in the city of love.
Robert Kelly
Hey, do you guys want to exchange money to go see Guns and Roses?
Big Jay Oakerson
That's great.
Robert Kelly
I would be nice to see him in Paris, so that would be cool. Wouldn't that be fun? Oh, you know what you want. I know she wants to go to Paris. She wants to go to that Louis. She goes to that Louis Vuitton flagship store. Oh, I was there. It's nice.
Big Jay Oakerson
I'D like to see Louis, please. Mr. Vuitton.
Robert Kelly
Yes, I was there.
Big Jay Oakerson
Who is it?
Robert Kelly
I was there.
Big Jay Oakerson
Is it Christine who spends too much money for the money that she makes? She spends too much. She knows the names of employees and has personal phone numbers.
Robert Kelly
Is Louis. Is he French or is he Italian? I don't know. I don't fucking know these people. Oh, Gucci's Italian.
Big Jay Oakerson
Fucking African, Chinese guy.
Robert Kelly
I'm not a professional fucking bag slut like Christine. I'm just working myself. I need to count your bags before you bought a bag. How many bags did I have? Like 22. Whatever, bitch. You know the rules of bag sluts. You know the fucking reveal how many bags you have to other people that don't have fudgeing aren't bag slots. 22. You're breaking peg slut rule.
Big Jay Oakerson
It's a lot of bags.
Robert Kelly
Whatever. They're not all expensive. I remember. I was. I went there. I was.
Big Jay Oakerson
I was even talking about bags you've made him get.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, he's gotten back, and I made.
Big Jay Oakerson
Him because Bobby comes to me. He goes, It's. He goes, dude, it's a bag that goes in a bag that you keep in a bigger third bag.
Robert Kelly
It's a good bag. It's a great travel bag. It has a bag. So you just pull the bag out of it, and that's your little backpack bag. My favorite.
Big Jay Oakerson
Bobby's got bags. Bags.
Robert Kelly
I just got a new one of those bags for a bag. They made it in light of material.
Big Jay Oakerson
23. 23.
Robert Kelly
Shit.
Big Jay Oakerson
I do 23.
Robert Kelly
I was in front of Louis, and I go, don, you want to. I go, don, do you want a Louis? I'm in Paris, the Louis Vuitton store. I can go get your bag. She goes, no, I don't want it. We don't need it. Blah, blah, blah. I go. I'm standing in front of the store. My phone went, ding. The exact bag that she wanted, only you could get in Paris. She already did the research. So I'm standing. Fat Bob. Bald, fat. The fattest I've ever been. I was out there and a guy just walked out and saw me in front of the store just sweating. And he came out with a big white Louis umbrella. So I was just sitting like a. Like a fat with a white umbrella waiting in line in front of Louis.
Big Jay Oakerson
Jesus Christ. Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna go. We gotta go see Guns N Roses.
Robert Kelly
Dude, I would love to see him, but do you think he's. What does he sound like now?
Big Jay Oakerson
Good.
Robert Kelly
Embarrassing. Is it embarrassing?
Big Jay Oakerson
Doesn't sound embarrassing when you're there, it doesn't sound embarrassing.
Robert Kelly
I saw him at MetLife.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah, they got him. They got him. I got a song at MetLife and the Garden. Yeah, he's got a. Yeah, he sounds good.
Robert Kelly
Yeah. I'm happy you're gonna see him at MetLife. Not with gout.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, yeah.
Robert Kelly
I'm telling you, MetLife, one of the worst nights ever. What?
Big Jay Oakerson
It's one of the worst nights ever. But it was when I found out Kimowitz, the late, great Kimowitz, also had gout because he helped me out a lot. And it's funny. And the doctor said when I went, remember, I don't have gout, but people have it. I can, by the way, I also haven't gotten it in so long now. Maybe might be weight loss.
Robert Kelly
What is gout? It's like a king's disease.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
Jay's just sitting at the table eating grapes and ham. I need Christine, I need a bucket.
Big Jay Oakerson
It can happen. It can happen from a lot of meat, alcohol, beer, hoppy stuff like that. And it puts uric acid in your joints of your toe. I guess it could happen other places, too, but it was my big toe, and it hurts in the joint, but it feels like you're being stabbed. So this weekend, we went to Panorama Fest. We got people hooked up for Panorama Festival.
Robert Kelly
What is that?
Big Jay Oakerson
They don't do it anymore. It was on. It was on. Yeah. Randall's island, right over. Right on top of the city.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, but what type of. I don't know.
Big Jay Oakerson
It was all kinds of music. It was the same people that do Coachella. Yeah, some people do Coachella. Did a festival here for three days. It just. It wasn't a success.
Robert Kelly
Two years, they did it.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah, it wasn't very good, but I took people to that. I brought a bunch of people. I was able to get tickets. So people all weekend are going like, hey, man, I got you a beer. I got you a beer. Then we're eating fair food every day. A burger, piece of pizza, whatever. And then keep going.
Robert Kelly
Then don't stop at one food.
Big Jay Oakerson
That's Friday. Saturday, Sunday is Guns n Roses at MetLife Stadium. So we go there, we meet up with Kimowitz and his friends. We're eating hoagies, we're throwing footballs outside. We're tailgating, and we're walking in. It's towards the end of Lenny Kravitz. And we start going in. And as we're walking in, I start. I say to Christine, I'm just kind of like, weird to go, I don't know, did I like, twist my foot or something when we were throwing the football, right? I don't remember doing that. I go, I don't know, I'm just old. Probably just dumb shit, like twisted an ankle or, you know, whatever my. I thought it was. I didn't know what it was exactly. I couldn't pinpoint where it was in my foot. And then we got in. Get to the place. It's still sore. And we're sitting down and Lenny Kravitz. We're kind of sitting down and I'm just kind of like. Like, man, this is uncomfortable. I'm getting off of it and it's not hurting much less. I'm even walking on it now, and it hurts a ton.
Robert Kelly
Oh, gout just hurts.
Big Jay Oakerson
It's inside. It's the worst thing. Yeah, it's so bad.
Robert Kelly
So it like being stabbed on the inside of your toe because you're fat?
Big Jay Oakerson
No, not necessarily.
Robert Kelly
Well, dude, if it's a fucking king's disease.
Big Jay Oakerson
Well, that's what they say, but that's because of the.
Robert Kelly
I must have had gout. I just muscled through it.
Big Jay Oakerson
No, you may just never did. I'm telling you, as I said, it's not necessarily a fat thing. It's no salad, because that was the big thing.
Jacob
No, I'm not even joking. It's like you're only talking meats and.
Robert Kelly
Like, meats and cheeses for three days. Yeah, yeah, that's.
Jacob
It's an imbalance.
Big Jay Oakerson
What are you arguing?
Jacob
I'm not arguing.
Big Jay Oakerson
He's like, you know, it's not good for you. Like, it's the whole point of the story.
Robert Kelly
So first of all, subs and hamburgers and fries is a fat guy's thing.
Big Jay Oakerson
It's a weekend of concerts thing is what it is. And so. And then when Lenny Kravitz is playing, starting to hurt. And then in between, we're sitting there and like, it's still. I'm like. And now I have my fucking shoe off and I'm like, trying. I'm starting to feel where it's at. And it hurts a ton to the touch. But it's not like there's no bruise, there's no nothing on there. I'm like, what the fuck could this possibly be? By the time Guns N Roses comes on, whole concert, the place stands up. I stood up for a second and then I sat back down, and the whole concert was me just looking at asses of people sitting in front. Couldn't stand up.
Robert Kelly
It was brutal. I thought Axel had gout when you started the story. I thought he was gonna have gout.
Big Jay Oakerson
No. So I. So then they start doing, I think, Paradise City to close, and I fucking drag my foot out of place. We meet up with Kimowitz, and Kimwitz goes, that sounds like gout. He's like, I have gout. He's like, you guys should get somewhere. He's like, get to, like, a CVS or something. Nothing else. Get like, cherry juice or something like that and just pound it.
Robert Kelly
Cherry juice, buddy.
Big Jay Oakerson
It's an immediate cure.
Robert Kelly
Cherry juice?
Big Jay Oakerson
No, an immediate cure. I mean, you got. You got to get, like, the fucking Gatorade, size of it, and, like, pound. It's disgusting. It's not disgusting, but it ain't good. And get that down. It makes it go away. And I had it happen to me two more times over the last, like. Over those last years beyond that. And one of them was the funniest. We were going to Morning Press for Orlando. Metzger was with me. It was a rare weekend. Metzger was like, I'll come with you on the road. And we were going to. I was like, hey, man, after this last, like, radio thing, I think I have to go to urgent care. And he's like, yeah. I go, yeah. It's like, I can't. I wasn't able to get anything to stop it.
Robert Kelly
You couldn't get cherry juice?
Big Jay Oakerson
No. So I had. You can go get a steroid shot too, like a. And they'll make it go away quick, too. But I was like, oh, I have to go do that at an urgent care center or something like that. And then I just remember hearing Kurt on the phone with someone. He's like, yeah, I'm actually gonna be a little bit longer before I can call you because, like, I don't know, we have to go to. We have to go to the urgent care because Jay's got piss ankles or something. Piss ankles? I don't know. Jay's got piss ankles or something.
Robert Kelly
That's so weird. Cherry juice would sound like a give you gout, doesn't it? Yeah. Just drinking cherry juice straight up with the cherries in it. It was just plain cherry juice.
Big Jay Oakerson
Juice juice. But it's.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, I've never heard of cherry juice.
Big Jay Oakerson
There it is. Now. I just in my life have those to. Just have the gummies.
Robert Kelly
Just have them in your fridge?
Big Jay Oakerson
No, I keep them in my suitcase.
Robert Kelly
Oh, the gummies.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, gummies on the road. But I haven't had it happen in years.
Robert Kelly
Well, you lost Weight, too. And you don't eat as much food.
Big Jay Oakerson
It must probably. It's more dietary change than knowing that I don't drink beer.
Robert Kelly
The most beer you'd ever.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yes, I'm saying I don't drink beer like that. So it's just like that weekend just flared it up. It was bad. Sucked. You're drinking every. And you can almost attest to this. The times that it would. The other times where it's like. It's almost. I was like, oh, maybe something's happening. I should get some cherry juice. Festivals always. Not even music like Moon Tower. It's happened, you know? I mean, like, jfl. I've been like, hey, I should probably get some cherry juice. Like, just because, again, you're around all these things and everyone's drinking beers and blah, blah, blah. Oh, we're going for burgers in the afternoon.
Robert Kelly
Meatloaf sandwiches. Jay smuggling in a thing of cherry juice.
Big Jay Oakerson
You guys have cherry juice?
Robert Kelly
My tart cherry.
Big Jay Oakerson
What if they don't have cherry juice here?
Robert Kelly
Surprised they don't sell cherry juice at these festivals because they know that people have gout. My plantar fasciitis at any concert sucks. Halfway through, it's. I have to wear those stupid hokas.
Big Jay Oakerson
You have to get your Rolf, dude.
Robert Kelly
What's a Rolf?
Big Jay Oakerson
We did a Rolfing once for me, but I'll tell you what. We did a Rolfing in here. I'm gonna say his little curtain pole. He did good. I mean, he got in there, but I didn't get Rolfed.
Robert Kelly
What's a Rolf?
Big Jay Oakerson
I got Rolfs on the Bert Kreischer cabin show. And that's Rolf. This is not Rolfing.
Robert Kelly
What's a Rolf?
Big Jay Oakerson
Rolfing is deep, like massage, but, like, deep. Like, he pushes, like, on, like, the front of your stomach until he touches your back.
Jacob
It's.
Big Jay Oakerson
It's. It's rough, but it's supposed to break up all that fascia.
Robert Kelly
Fascia.
Big Jay Oakerson
And it's in, like, one sitting with a Rolfing thing on your foot.
Robert Kelly
Really?
Big Jay Oakerson
You're gonna scream hilariously, but it will make you feel much better.
Robert Kelly
I would do a roll for my foot. Always hurts, you know, I was.
Big Jay Oakerson
All right, let's get a roll for you here for Bobby's foot.
Robert Kelly
I was in Aruba trying to do a ball on my plantar fasciitis because they said, you know, carry a golf ball or something like that. So I was rolling my foot on the ball, and then I heard a pop and. And my toe down the middle of my toe. Since then, and that was, like, four years ago. I have, like, this numb feeling in my toe. Almost like I took a ligament and popped it over something and it never went back. I went to a foot doctor, and he went, I don't know what this is.
Big Jay Oakerson
Look what they're gonna do to you. Give him a shot. And this is the freaking first of all.
Robert Kelly
That guy looks like he does Rolfing.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, yeah. This guy looks like an illegal German doctor. Yeah.
Robert Kelly
Are they all English, the people that do ralphing?
Big Jay Oakerson
No. Oh, Bobby, you're gonna make noises.
Robert Kelly
Dude, I wouldn't mind getting Rolfs if it will fix it. Okay, I'll take it.
Big Jay Oakerson
Can we get a roll for black Louis? We work on a roll for.
Jacob
Could never be a foot doctor.
Robert Kelly
Why?
Jacob
I don't want to.
Big Jay Oakerson
Because you wouldn't be able to stop yourself from sucking his toes. I know, dude. I know, I know. My answer's funnier because you wouldn't be able to resist sucking all these freaky toes. Oh, I understand why. By the way, they show that thing happening a lot, and I want to get. But it looks like I'll laugh until I piss in his face. That thing.
Robert Kelly
What is that?
Big Jay Oakerson
The scraper? What? The bottom of the foot, dude. It's. Whoa.
Robert Kelly
I want to do that. I want to do that right now. Can somebody roll for me right now?
Big Jay Oakerson
I've seen they use that thing on people's, like. Like, shoulders and stuff. That thing. It looks crazy.
Robert Kelly
I like that.
Big Jay Oakerson
It makes your foot look so weird. Can I. I was gonna bring up.
Robert Kelly
If I could fucking get my foot fixed, I'd be so happy. Have you never done, like, the foot reflexology or any of those things? No, I've gotten massages, but they always wind up jerking me off.
Big Jay Oakerson
Before they get to your feet?
Robert Kelly
Yeah. It's like, 45 bucks, and it's actually, like, you don't have to get jerked off. You can actually get your feet done. You're not gonna tickle my butthole and give me butterfly kisses.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Jacob
I thought Rolfing was what you made Lou and I did. Now I remember. It was Ken the cuddler. We had a cuddler.
Big Jay Oakerson
You had a cuddler. I got Rolfed.
Robert Kelly
What's a cuddler?
Jacob
He's a professional cuddler. He comes in and he cuddled.
Robert Kelly
Could I get Rolfed and then have the cuddler?
Jacob
He is great.
Robert Kelly
Yes, I'll do both.
Big Jay Oakerson
But that's gonna be Christmas and birthday.
Robert Kelly
You know what? Let's just do the ralphing.
Jacob
We just cuddle together.
Big Jay Oakerson
It's Christmas and birthday.
Robert Kelly

Big Jay Oakerson
20, 20, 48 hours. Which are stupid ones to do that Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard.
Robert Kelly
I've seen a couple episodes. Pretty interesting inside the business type thing. Not bad. But he, he's become some type of like alpha male Navy SEAL looking dude, which is weird to watch, you know, he was just a goofy dude.
Jacob
Jack shepherd, he was so skinny.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, he's jacked. And he looks like he fought in the Iraq war. He's an actor. Body.
Big Jay Oakerson
Not even. What's he acting?
Robert Kelly
He plays make believe for a living. I don't think he could be in anything anymore because his face is too crazy.
Big Jay Oakerson
He's like an idiocracy. Is like the goofballs.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, he was like a silly goofy dude.
Big Jay Oakerson
Call her Daddy Candace. Which I assume is Candace Owens.
Robert Kelly
I think so.
Big Jay Oakerson
Crime junkie. I don't know. Dateline NBC. Makes sense.
Robert Kelly
Good.
Big Jay Oakerson
Hang with Amy Poehler. That's the thing I was saying. I watched Amy Poehler. There's a clip. See if you can find this clip on YouTube. It was my. Dulled. My brain. It was her.
Robert Kelly
Is Rogan up there?
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
Okay.
Big Jay Oakerson
It was there. It's her and Mariska Hargitay. Detective Captain Olivia Benson. Sorry. Captain Olivia Benson. Thank you. Talking about it. And it's just this clip that they're like, this is the clip we should put out to get people to want to watch this. It's her going. She goes, I have a bad, Like Amy poster. I have a bad time. Like, I tell people things like when. Like when they ask things, like when people want you to kind of lie to them or something, and I just don't have the thing. And then Marisha goes, I am. We are exactly the same like that. Someone will be like, do you like these shoes? And I will just be like, no. It's like, are you guys sharing notes on being cunts to people? What a stupid conversation this is to have.
Robert Kelly
I would listen to that podcast.
Big Jay Oakerson
No, you wouldn't.
Robert Kelly
Two cunts being cunts. You wouldn't listen to two cunts being cunts.
Big Jay Oakerson
This isn't it. Try this one.
Robert Kelly
Oh, God. Why do they have to do it? I mean, it's not enough that you're on TV every fucking second. You have to do a podcast, too. We do podcasts because we had nothing else to do.
Big Jay Oakerson
Right.
Robert Kelly
We did it.
Big Jay Oakerson
We're like, we work. We start working at 10pm every night.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, we did podcasts. Nobody was doing it. It was a shit job. That's why we did comedy.
Big Jay Oakerson
Starts getting to a point where you're not making enough money doing comedy. And you're like. And I'm working five hours a week. So you're like, well, I have to do something to not be a piece of shit.
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Big Jay Oakerson
I should at least be broke and say, I'm working really hard. Ye. Yeah. So, yeah, then we all start doing podcasts. Yeah.
Robert Kelly
And then these jump in and take the. The Golden Globes away from us.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah. And then Oofis over here.
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Big Jay Oakerson
Bizarre from D12. Yeah.
Robert Kelly
Forest Whitaker.
Big Jay Oakerson
Ghost Dog, and some skinny.
Robert Kelly
She looks like Ghost Dog.
Big Jay Oakerson
The Ben Shapiro Show. The Bill Simmons Podcast. The Daily New York Times Show. Smartless Rotten Mango Podcast.
Robert Kelly
Sean Ryan. Sean Ryan's a good show.
Big Jay Oakerson
Joe Rogan, Megan Kelly, Mel Robbins, Tucker Carlson. Keep going. This past weekend with Theo and npr. It's.
Robert Kelly
It's Theo, definitely.
Big Jay Oakerson
Sure. But listen. No, not Theo, definitely. What are they talking about here? Like, this. Call it podcast is the whole thing. So really, none of these people should win. And it should be, what, 2020. Probably gonna be the most. They're gonna be the most highly produced things with experts and blah. You know what I'm saying? Like, that's a real thing you're talking about that versus, like, Theo Vaughn shooting the shit with Andrew Santino. Either it should be all that up to and including Joe Rogan. Cause I know it's not just necessarily a comedy podcast, but it's definitely in the universe of comedy world.
Robert Kelly
Well, they should have. They should have categories. Comedy podcast, true crime or something like that. True crime. And then, you know, storytelling, which I'm.
Big Jay Oakerson
Gonna crime up about something that's different.
Jacob
Different.
Robert Kelly
Yeah. True crime is great. Love true crime.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
I watched the Cartel one. I watched the whole history. Was it Murder Inc?
Big Jay Oakerson
I don't know if you know this dude, but Suarez, what was his name? Someone's back. And they're back. Big.
Robert Kelly
They're back. They're in Studio 4.
Big Jay Oakerson
Don't you remember? In Studio 4. Escobar.
Robert Kelly
Escobar's back in Studio 4. Why? You don't think Serious would give Escobar a podcast?
Big Jay Oakerson
I don't. They gave us a podcast, but they just called our radio show and then decided to call it a podcast. And then they tell us we don't have a good studio because we choose to do radio versus this podcast. None of it makes sense. But I will tell you, if you want to sit in the shitty studio with us, you have an opportunity to do that by going to sirusxm.com/hungerthon now. And you can see a bunch of items you can bid on. But real important, why would you want to bid on this? Because you get to sit with us if you want to bid on that. Now, I will tell you can bid to sit on the Sam Roberts show and Bennington, amongst many other shows here.
Robert Kelly
Fine shows, fine shows, great shows.
Big Jay Oakerson
But Sam Roberts and Bennington are beating us with bids right now.
Robert Kelly
What?
Big Jay Oakerson
And I got to tell you, it's driving me nuts.
Robert Kelly
What are you talking about?
Big Jay Oakerson
Sam Roberts. Currently Sam Roberts.
Robert Kelly
Yes.
Big Jay Oakerson
Who betrayed your friend Jim Norton and drove him right into the arms. Man.
Robert Kelly
Lady betrayed all of my friends.
Big Jay Oakerson
True.
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Big Jay Oakerson
And then Bennington, you know, fucking dismissive. Doesn't care about you at all.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, Me. I thought you're going to say you just me not you, apparently, so it.
Big Jay Oakerson
Must drive you nuts.
Jacob
Me?
Big Jay Oakerson
He pays the ultimate respect.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, he does.
Big Jay Oakerson
But I. But. But they have higher bids than us.
Robert Kelly
But. But they've been. Here's the thing with us. Can I tell you?
Big Jay Oakerson
You're gonna go in there and stare at Ron's fucking daughter and make it weird with him. He's gonna hate you. A few.
Robert Kelly
No, no, no, no, no. They are promoting it. They're trying. We don't. The problem with us, we don't try.
Big Jay Oakerson
I know.
Robert Kelly
We don't try to win anything. I think it's time to change. It's 20. 25 is over. It's coming up.
Big Jay Oakerson
I did try, though. I tried to get people to get on board with voting for Corey Feldman. No way. He was the first person eliminated.
Robert Kelly
Really bad. That's not you. That's on him.
Big Jay Oakerson
That was him.
Robert Kelly
This is us.
Big Jay Oakerson
This is on us.
Robert Kelly
I think that the fans of the bonfire need to be shook up a little bit.
Big Jay Oakerson
I agree.
Robert Kelly
They need to get off the couch. Put the remote down. Stop getting on the fucking social media. And now we need you. We need.
Big Jay Oakerson
Hunger needs you.
Robert Kelly
10,000 votes. 10,000. What is it a pledge? What are we doing? Bids. We need 10,000 bids. Not only gonna save somebody.
Big Jay Oakerson
You're gonna feed people the amount of bids we get. It's the highest bid.
Robert Kelly
We need $30 million in a bid.
Big Jay Oakerson
$30 million would win.
Jacob
How much is Ron and Sam beating?
Big Jay Oakerson
Four or five grand or something.
Robert Kelly
They're doubling us. Can I tell you what I think's going on with Roberts? I think he's shoveling his own money in there.
Big Jay Oakerson
She's doing some flim flam.
Robert Kelly
I think he's doing a little flim flam. I checked Those. The screen names of the people who are.
Big Jay Oakerson
I don't respect flim flam, Bob. You know that one thing about me?
Robert Kelly
No. You hate flim flam. You have a hoodie that says, I hate flim flam.
Big Jay Oakerson
I hate flim flam. I don't like when you think I'm getting flim. And then you flam me. You flim flam.
Robert Kelly
He has 43.
Jacob
Three times the. The amount.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah. What do you think? We don't have a bald guy with a beard in here. We got a couple.
Robert Kelly
I think that's Opie.
Big Jay Oakerson
Opie's bidding?
Robert Kelly
Yeah, Just the gym. No, no.
Big Jay Oakerson
Opie. If you donate $20,000, they will let you back in the building to sit in the bonfire. We should get Anthony Kumia.
Robert Kelly
Kumia.
Big Jay Oakerson
Donate $50,000 and see if they don't let you in for hunger, dude. How much do they hate. Do they hate you more than they. Than they love hunger?
Robert Kelly
I say Jim, Opie, and Anthony, you guys, $45,000 each. We get the show back together right here on the bonfire.
Big Jay Oakerson
One night only.
Robert Kelly
One night only.
Big Jay Oakerson
If you. If we get up to a cumulative. I'm telling you, don't just. Everybody don't just jump on. Start bidding now. One up on each other by 10 bucks. Stop that. Get together, get one communal person and bid $2 million.
Robert Kelly
Two million.
Big Jay Oakerson
And then we will divvy that up amongst Jim, Opie, and Anthony. And we will have them in studio.
Robert Kelly
I'm back in.
Big Jay Oakerson
We will have them back in studio together. Yep.
Robert Kelly
And then we'll do it. And then we'll do a tour.
Big Jay Oakerson
And then we'll do a whole fucking tour together.
Jacob
We fucking conquer.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah. That's what it always is. But you can grab a seat around a bonfire, our show. And hang out with us. If you want to win a chance to be in the studio live with us for a broadcast of the bonfire, you have to go right now to SiriusXM.com Hungerthon 1600.
Robert Kelly
I'm sorry, I just looked at. We have $1600.
Big Jay Oakerson
No, no, no, no, no. You're not understanding how this is working.
Robert Kelly
I don't.
Big Jay Oakerson
We're not. We don't have a.
Robert Kelly
Don't talk to me like Billy. Fucking lighten your tone. Fucking asshole. All right, sure. You're talking to me aggressively, and I don't like it.
Jacob
Okay.
Robert Kelly
Hey, make me. Dang it. What's up? Hi, buddy.
Big Jay Oakerson
Hey, champ. Listen. Bids?
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Big Jay Oakerson
Bids are individual things.
Robert Kelly
That's one person bidding.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
1600.
Big Jay Oakerson
Now, what you're thinking of is like a. Like a cash. Like a GoFundMe type thing where money's building up. And that's a mistake people make. Hey, hey.
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Big Jay Oakerson
That's a mistake all kinds of people make.
Robert Kelly
So wait a minute. Let me ask you a question. So there's one person that bid on Sam Roberts. The Sam show in the morning. 4,500. $4,500. One person?
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
There's one person that listens to show that.
Jacob
Or.
Big Jay Oakerson
Or like I'm suggesting people are getting the. Like, we could. We could make a. We could make a bid on a show, but we could also do it instead of just going, hey, let's all put in a bid, beating each other by $5. Why don't we all put in our thousand we were going to do together, and now we've got, what, $60,000. Now we're winning this thing, right? And you could always say, yeah, it was us. So we all have to come in and watch the show. I would honor that. So if you have a hundred people, we will get a hundred people in the studio.
Robert Kelly
This is nuts, dude.
Big Jay Oakerson
We're gonna win. We have to start cumulatively bidding together.
Robert Kelly
I'm gonna sell the title, form alliances.
Big Jay Oakerson
And drive the price up.
Robert Kelly
But if that doesn't happen, we put our own money in to just to win.
Big Jay Oakerson
And then who do we have sit in the roll for? Two birds, one stone.
Robert Kelly
There you go.
Big Jay Oakerson
You know what? Say no more. We're gonna win this thing one more time. That's SiriusXM.com Hungerthon now. And see if you want to bid on the bonfire. You could also bid on Bennington and Sam Roberts there. If you're a fucking asshole. Yes.
Jacob
Can I say what's the name of the person that bid $4,600 on?
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, let's not look at that. We don't need to see that at all, man.
Robert Kelly
If it's Sam's in it, we don't miss. Sam is the name we don't need to see. What is Bennington up to? Who bit it?
Jacob
He's 3,000. Who?
Robert Kelly
What's his name? So for Sam Roberts, it's Dog Lover. Yeah, that's Sam's Nick. That's his nickname in wrestling.
Big Jay Oakerson
Dog Lover.
Robert Kelly
Dog Lover. That was his nickname back in the day. Can we see how much Eddie Trunk has? I want to see if this thing's fixed. We have Eddie Verzella, Eddie Frazella. He's got three. He's. Is he beating us?
Jacob
Yes, but he's double us.
Big Jay Oakerson
Wow. Let's see what Eddie Trunk has.
Robert Kelly
This doesn't feel good. This is the only second time we've mentioned it.
Big Jay Oakerson
So true.
Robert Kelly
We need to mention it every day. When is this over?
Jacob
Oh, Eddie. Nobody is.
Big Jay Oakerson
Who's the first one, though? It's Jim Florentine. It's Jim Florentine trying to get that heavy metal show back together. Star Jameson.
Robert Kelly
We need a group of people to get together or we need somebody rich and famous. Who do you know? Shane.
Big Jay Oakerson
No, who do you know? Shane doesn't want to sit in here.
Robert Kelly
I know, I know. How's this?
Big Jay Oakerson
Godsmack. Tell Godsmack to bid.
Robert Kelly
We could do Gabby's dad. All you have to do is relinquish. Just say that his daughter is the greatest crowd work comic in New York City.
Big Jay Oakerson
I've relinquished that.
Robert Kelly
Okay, good.
Big Jay Oakerson
The New York Times said it you think I'm challenging the New York Times? What am I, Joe Rogan and Dave Smith?
Robert Kelly
We should get. We should get him to do it. We'll get him to do $2 million and blow it out of the water. And then we have him come in. I like the plan with Gabby.

This episode of The Bonfire delivers the show's signature blend of raw, irreverent humor, behind-the-scenes showbiz banter, and comedic rants. The main theme is a playful gripe: the hosts are losing a SiriusXM Hungerthon charity bidding competition to colleagues Sam Roberts and Bennington, sparking rants both about the contest and about their own half-hearted promotion efforts. Along the way, Jay and Bobby riff on failed musical ambitions, foot maladies (gout and plantar fasciitis), rock drummers, aging rock stars, the podcast industry’s awards, and more.

The hosts maintain their trademark:
You don’t need context about the SiriusXM “Hungerthon” or the comedy circuit to enjoy the episode—just a taste for quick-witted, off-the-cuff conversation. The show is as much about the entertainers riffing on their own foibles as it is about the topics at hand. If you get the jokes, you’re part of the Bonfire tribe.
