Iggy Pop. Y. I always wanted his body.
Big J Okerson
I know. Even now?
Robert Kelly
Yeah. I mean, now.
Big J Okerson
Nope. You would take it now.
Robert Kelly
You're absolutely right. You know what? I'm backing out of that. I would take it right now.
Big J Okerson
His current right now body you would take right now. He's substantially older than you.
Robert Kelly
Yes, 100%.
Big J Okerson
I would too.
Robert Kelly
But his body back. That punk. Punk rock.
Big J Okerson
Yeah. So skinny.
Robert Kelly
Just skinny.
Big J Okerson
He popped in roll.
Robert Kelly
I mean. I mean, I don't know if I take it now. Dude. I'm gonna take that back. Hang on one second. I'm gonna. I'm. That looks like fucking somebody's grandmother in Florida naked.
Big J Okerson
Yeah, but you're watching motion shots. These are candidates. If you just saw a picture of him, it's all right. You know what? It's terrible.
Robert Kelly
It's not good now, dude, I'm going to take it back. We're looking at his body now on the. What is this? The interweb?
Christine
Yes, Interweb.
Robert Kelly
The Interweb. And it's disgusting. He looks like tan mom.
Big J Okerson
Yeah, he doesn't like Tan Mom.
Robert Kelly
He looks like Tan mom now.
Big J Okerson
God damn it.
Robert Kelly
But back in the day, I mean, his body was sick.
Christine
I mean, he looks great in the suit here.
Big J Okerson
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
As long as you cover up those saggy tan.
Big J Okerson
Yeah, you gotta get rid of those flaps.
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Big J Okerson
But I'll tell you what, he hung in there pretty good. Bring up the Lust for Life video. He was already old by this point.
Robert Kelly
How old?
Big J Okerson
50S.
Robert Kelly
Lust for Life in 2000. 1999. I'm wondering, do you have to use drugs to get that body?
Big J Okerson
Probably.
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Big J Okerson
And have bisexual sex?
Robert Kelly
Well, I got half of that.
Big J Okerson
Yeah. Yeah.
Robert Kelly
In my brain.
Big J Okerson
You haven't lived it just yet.
Robert Kelly
I haven't lived it just yet.
Big J Okerson
That's why. Yeah. See, this is. He was still pretty old here, man.
Robert Kelly
Fucking love him. What a fucking freak.
Big J Okerson
Turn this up too.
Robert Kelly
His teeth are just dying. You know, his breath sucks. Yeah.
Big J Okerson
So cool.
Robert Kelly
Oh, he's so fucking. His hair, everything is just great. That straight hair that. You know, most women have to go to an Asian woman and pay $400. Spent three hours in a chair to get that.
Big J Okerson
Not him.
Robert Kelly
Not him.
Big J Okerson
He just had naturally ratty hair pin straight ratty hair. The way we all wish.
Robert Kelly
Oh, God, do I wish I had that.
Big J Okerson
And you will. Gotta say this, you're right. His body is goddamn atrocious. But he put a little facial hair on now and I'll tell you what, still looks pretty cool.
Robert Kelly
77 dress.
Big J Okerson
If you dress him up right, he looks pretty cool still.
Robert Kelly
If you put him in a little John Varvados.
Big J Okerson
Yes.
Robert Kelly
Yeah. Look at Christine's eyebrows go up. Because I tuck fashion. Yeah, he looks good. But here's the thing. Guys like that will look good in anything. I mean, like just those suspenders. I've always wanted those little thin white supremacist spenders.
Big J Okerson
Yeah. Yes, I hear you. The white supremacist look is an underrated look, unfortunately. It really straight through time, by the way. I mean, the Hitler army, the Nazi army, Hugo Boss. Beautiful, beautiful outfits. Yeah. And the bomber jacket, white T shirts, suspenders. It's pretty cool fucking look. I'm not a big fan of combat boots with skinny jeans tucked in. That's where they lose me. The bottom part. But the top part, that's where they.
Robert Kelly
Get me a nice. A nice blood red dot. Martin.
Big J Okerson
That's where I check out. But everything else about it, I've always wanted those.
Robert Kelly
See that, See the really dark diarrhea though. I've always wanted those jeans. No, I have jeans. The dark red. Dark. Martin. Dark.
Big J Okerson
Martin, you can get those.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, I know, but I can't wear.
Big J Okerson
Them with the bald head.
Robert Kelly
I can't. No, I. I can't. Yeah, yeah.
Big J Okerson
And your bomber jacket and your tiny suspenders.
Robert Kelly
I like it. I like a thin suspenders, man.
Big J Okerson
Hang on. Show some respect. Bobby, someone's talking. Uh huh. Okay, yes, if you translate. I'll tell you what. The guy makes a lot of sense.
Robert Kelly
If you translate that. I'm pretty sure it doesn't make that much nonsense.
Big J Okerson
Something about that was making me think the Jews are what's fucking me over right now. Life's going haywire because of the Jews. Jacob, anything you'd like to say? You son of a bitch.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, Jay, you're Jewish.
Big J Okerson
Oh, yeah.
Robert Kelly
Yeah. You are Jewish. I always forget that. You are so not Jewish looking.
Big J Okerson
Look at all these useless cameras. That could have been five more Jews. These lights, these lights that we never use. It's two more Jews. What else? These computers that don't work. That's another Jew right there. We could have got so many Jews with all this useless equipment. That TV's never on. Jew. That's a Jew. Anybody who's listening who hasn't watched Schindler's List, just go watch the end of it. You'll get that joke. The started looking at everything you owned and telling how many more Jews he could have purchased to keep from getting killed.
Robert Kelly
Good movie.
Big J Okerson
It was a good movie. It was a great, some would say a laugh out loud riot.
Robert Kelly
Well, I don't know if I'd say that. Oh, I would say.
Big J Okerson
Joel Siegel says it was a two thumbs up, wild thrill ride.
Robert Kelly
As good as old school.
Big J Okerson
Yeah. A tumultuous time shown in the most dramatic way with flickers of Benny Hill. The girl with the red balloon. What a big deal that was movie making. Yeah.
Robert Kelly
Well, there was a song, Red Dress. Remember this song?
Big J Okerson
No.
Robert Kelly
99 red balloons. You don't remember?
Big J Okerson
Nope. You're putting a little bit of the cart before the horse here, buddy.
Robert Kelly
I like putting the cart before the horse. Yeah, because you know what? The horse needs a break sometimes.
Big J Okerson
Yeah, yeah. So we should pull the horse along. Yeah, yeah.
Robert Kelly
99.
Big J Okerson
99. Lift Balloons, the song from the, I believe, early 80s.
Robert Kelly
But one of them was red.
Big J Okerson
No, no, no. They show her luff means red. It's the red jacket is what she wears.
Robert Kelly
No, luff means red.
Jacob
Even this part, just seeing it now gets to me.
Big J Okerson
Yeah. Because eventually what you do is you see that red thing, like in a pile of bodies, right? Yeah, yeah. So that's what it was. I don't think Nena's 99 left balloons was about this.
Robert Kelly
I think.
Big J Okerson
99 Jews, 99 left pajoos.
Jacob
Spielberg stole it from Luna.
Robert Kelly
But if they played that song over this, it would actually could go with the video, buddy.
Big J Okerson
I've played this game so many times. Soundtrack means everything. On Legion of Skanks years ago, we did the Watts riots where they were blowing black people down the street with fire hoses, which is crazy. It's fucking crazy what they were doing.
Robert Kelly
Yes.
Big J Okerson
Put wipeout over that video, and now it looks like everyone's having a goddamn blast.
Robert Kelly
Right? It looks like a phone animal.
Big J Okerson
Yeah. Looks like a fun summer. Just do me. Blast. Yay. It's all soundtrack. It's all sound. You can put a fun soundtrack over the holocaust for sure. How about this? Can you put the part where they're all on the train and the women are, like, poking their fingers to get blood so they can make rosy cheeks so maybe the men will like them and they don't get killed. If you put Quad City DJs. Come on. Ride the train during that part, you can't not get excited. I think I can.
Robert Kelly
I think I can.
Big J Okerson
I think I can. Come on, ride that train. Boo Beanie and ride it.
Robert Kelly
Can we please do that?
Big J Okerson
I. Christine, please. Train scene. Schindler's List, I think.
Robert Kelly
What a good movie, guys.
Big J Okerson
Everyone, Trump's back. They said this week on Yellowstone it was. They're going for it. The world's back, everybody. I watched it at least back.
Robert Kelly
I finally watched it.
Big J Okerson
The two new ones.
Robert Kelly
I watched the first new one. I didn't watch the second one.
Big J Okerson
There's already second one.
Robert Kelly
I know. I didn't see that yet. I watched because it's hard to find because it was. It's season five. I was looking for season six. There is no season six. It's still season five. Correct.
Big J Okerson
It's season.
Robert Kelly
It's the end of season five and the season five. So I was looking for season six going, oh, God. But then I found it.
Big J Okerson
Yeah, they're just finishing it.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, it was great the way.
Big J Okerson
So you saw what they did, what they said, but they're not totally sure on that. Did you find the train scene yet?
Christine
I don't know.
Big J Okerson
There's that right there. Train scene.
Christine
Well, that's what I clicked on, but I'm not sure.
Big J Okerson
Yeah, get to the train where they're all in the train. There they are terrified in a train now. Why are they before they pull in? Well, they're going to be going to gas chambers. But back it up a little bit.
Christine
More.
Big J Okerson
Well, I don't know. Let's get to where they're on the. Getting on the train. This is Schindler going to pick out his Jews like he's picking up furniture. This one looks strong and healthy. Two more Jews we could have got Christine. Fast forward a little bit. Okay, let's get him on the train. This is where he's gonna kill a bunch of people. Oh, there it is. Look. A train of people going to gas chambers.
Robert Kelly
But some of them are giggling.
Big J Okerson
Yeah, of course, because Quad City DJs just kicked in. Oh, she's like, this is my jam. Look at the one clapping.
Jacob
Oh, here comes the girl with the throw set.
Robert Kelly
We're watching all these women on the train.
Big J Okerson
They just found out they're gonna die. But still.
Robert Kelly
That was a little Nazi girl.
Big J Okerson
Just let them know this isn't a fun train. Ride and ride it. Come on. Ride the train, you Jews. Ride it.
Robert Kelly
I don't know if this is. They still look terrified.
Big J Okerson
No, Bobby, because you're not dancing.
Robert Kelly
Oh, sorry. It does help with the dancing.
Big J Okerson
It does. Oh, pulling it. Pulling in the house. When I say ow, you say schwitz. Ow, schwitz. Ow, schwitz. When I say, ow, you say schwitz. Ow, schwitz. Ow, schwitz. Oh, the Mark Norman 12 inch remix. I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.
Robert Kelly
I mean, it's still. They still look terrified. I think they needed to dance on the train.
Big J Okerson
Yes. Because they haven't gotten to the part where they get off the train and they're at the club, the Wooden Club. Yeah. When I say holla, you say cost. Holla.
Robert Kelly
Cost.
Big J Okerson
Colla. Cost. When I say holla, you say cost. Holla.
Robert Kelly
Cost.
Big J Okerson
Holla. Cost. I stop the music, Lou. Right back to sad again. Yeah, just like that. The Holocaust is one of the most terrible things in our history. Terrible.
Robert Kelly
They did have ramps, though, to get them off. It's not like they made him jump off from.
Big J Okerson
That's cool. You know what? No one does talk about the small things they did do.
Robert Kelly
I mean, they could have just said, get off, and they had a jump off that would have hurt.
Big J Okerson
Even if they had to eat complete gruel. Always real silverware. Yeah, I appreciate that.
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Big J Okerson
Yeah. The wipeout thing was one of my favorite things ever. Wipe out, huh? Can I see it? I'm sorry. I want to see it so bad. You want to see those two things blended up together? You want to see my Big J miss Big J mashup. If you could please bring up Wipeout Chris. If you could please bring up Watts Rides. Black people being blasted down the street with hoses. If you wouldn't mind.
Robert Kelly
Now this is.
Big J Okerson
I have a DJ in my soul somewhere.
Robert Kelly
This is the Wash Ups watch. Riots was back in what year?
Big J Okerson
The 50s, I believe.
Robert Kelly
60S, 1965. And then there was the other riots, the LA riots. That was in 93. 93.
Big J Okerson
Could you do it because O.J. got off and Rodney King got beat up.
Robert Kelly
Could you do something to the Rodney King getting beat up?
Big J Okerson
Oh, absolutely.
Robert Kelly
What song would you pick for that?
Big J Okerson
Okay, let's think. Rodney King. It's a series of white cops taking aggressive beatings on a black guy.
Robert Kelly
Well. Well, you could do the. Where Rodney pulls up in the truck and they rip him out of the truck and beat the shit out of him.
Big J Okerson
Oh, yeah.
Robert Kelly
Excuse me. Reginald. Reginald. Danny.
Big J Okerson
Yes. The white guy.
Robert Kelly
The white guy.
Big J Okerson
Yeah, yeah, yeah. By the way, Ice Cube, one of the nastiest lines in rap ever that I love in Natural Born Killers. The song Natural Born Killers. Yeah. He goes snatch him out his truck, hit him with a brick. And I'm dancing. That's what the thing. Remember they beat up Reginald Denny and the guy started like dancing around him?
Robert Kelly
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Big J Okerson
I was like, damn, Ice Cube.
Robert Kelly
Did they start dancing?
Big J Okerson
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
Wow.
Big J Okerson
Yeah, they were dancing around him. He couldn't have been more of a hilariously long haired trucker guy. What y'all doing? I don't even know. Wait, what? I'm not part of the problem here. He doesn't whoop the. This guy is white.
Robert Kelly
I got a whole truck full of Nikes. I'm here for you guys.
Big J Okerson
Oh, yeah. Dude, I tell you what. I could definitely think of a better song to go along with the Reginald Denny beating than the Rodney King beating.
Christine
Christine, I can't find the hoses. I'm going through.
Big J Okerson
Well, can you just look up black people being blown sheep hose? You don't put Watts Riots. Maybe I had the wrong riot.
Robert Kelly
I think she's afraid to type that into a Google search.
Big J Okerson
Why? This belongs to SiriusXM. This equipment's not connected to anything.
Robert Kelly
Just banging.
Big J Okerson
Yeah, literally. I don't know if you noticed, but we were a nudge of a monitor away from being off the satellite. Christina. Also, could we get the picture of the girl in the red jacket off the screen? We know what happens to her. It's bumming everybody out. You can't put music to this. It's a Still picture Birmingham.
Christine
Birmingham.
Big J Okerson
Right. I forget.
Jacob
Potato potata.
Big J Okerson
I forget. Yeah. I get some of my black tragedies confused. Now. This is. Now you just watch it regular and you can see there's no argument here that this is absolutely up, what they're doing. It's terrible. Yeah. You can put the actual volume on this, please. Commissioner of Public Safety Eugene Bulkhana ordered police and firemen to attack the children with high pressure hoses, batons.
Robert Kelly
Horrible.
Big J Okerson
And police dogs.
Robert Kelly
Oh, God.
Big J Okerson
Images of the children being. They're all inarguably horrible.
Robert Kelly
And it's like firefighters that are doing it.
Big J Okerson
Yeah. Newspapers. No, they're treating people like animals. Provoking global outrage. Dr. King was also jailed during those protests. Crazy. And in response to criticism that said we could all agree. That's crazy.
Robert Kelly
Terrible.
Big J Okerson
It's not. Okay.
Jacob
I mean, the firemen are using firemen putting out a fire technique.
Big J Okerson
There's several people holding it.
Robert Kelly
Can I ask a question real quick? Did the firefighters have to wear full firefighter gear for this? I don't understand why they had to wear the hat and the oxygen tank.
Big J Okerson
And you want to get paid for it.
Jacob
Bobby makes a good point. There isn't an actual fire.
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Big J Okerson
If you want to get paid for.
Jacob
It, though, this is Birmingham hot.
Robert Kelly
I mean, you could have just wore your hood.
Big J Okerson
Yeah, yeah, yeah. For sure. Now, if you wouldn't mind, Lou.
Robert Kelly
I mean, it does look like a fun time. It looks like a.
Big J Okerson
Oh, my God, what a blast. Christine, get us some more hose work. I don't want to see Dr. King bumming me out. Woo. Banner. Oh, everyone's going. I'm going back to the back of the line. I'm going again. Oh, break it down. Everyone's getting a little whip behind the ear. Fire hose challenge. Hashtag firehose challenge. See, the point really just is, Bobby. It's all really high. You look at things, perspective, you know what I mean?
Robert Kelly
It's all the sound bed is what you're saying.
Big J Okerson
It's the sound bed.
Robert Kelly
It's the background music.
Big J Okerson
It was a black man. We could all agree that that was a. It's a horrific event that was happening there. Yes, Terrible. But that did not look fun. When you throw a little music behind, it looks so fun.
Robert Kelly
I'd jump in.
Big J Okerson
I would jump in a heartbeat. Go, me, me and get out of here. You're not white. And I'd be like, that's racist.
Robert Kelly
You're not black.
Big J Okerson
And then I'd stir up racism against white people for not letting us get in the hose. They wouldn't even hose me. I was the only white kid in the neighborhood. I couldn't even go in the hose. That's how they treated me.
Robert Kelly
I mean, can I just say something, too? Back then, much better sign making.
Big J Okerson
Oh, yeah, they had.
Robert Kelly
I mean, that. Look at that sign. Equal opportunity. That's very well written.
Big J Okerson
You had to take your time. You had to take your time and go in there and really make your sign. Yeah, you had to make it. Now everything's computers. You can get stuff printed up.
Robert Kelly
Yeah. It's on a fridge, cardboard box.
Big J Okerson
Someone's selling a zillion of them that say the same thing over and over again.
Robert Kelly
I mean, those signs were really good.
Big J Okerson
Jewish Gays for Palestine, which is my new group I'm starting now. Bobby.
Robert Kelly
Yes.
Big J Okerson
I want you to know something. I bought 8,000 T shirts to say that in varying sizes. You weren't here when I started telling my new T shirt ideas. I have a warehouse, and every time I have a T shirt idea, I'm getting pure inventory. I'm loading up on 8,000 shirts per idea, and I'm going to keep them. And then I'll make my money back as we sell them.
Robert Kelly
Right.
Big J Okerson
People are saying drop shipping, but I think that's too fucking new school for me. I say have heavy inventory.
Robert Kelly
12,000 T shirts.
Big J Okerson
12,000 T shirts.
Robert Kelly
And what is it going to say on it?
Big J Okerson
I already forget.
Robert Kelly
I think it was Queers for Palestine.
Big J Okerson
Queer. No. Jewish Gays for Palestine.
Robert Kelly
Jewish Gays for Palestine.
Big J Okerson
Gay Jews for Palestine.
Robert Kelly
Gay Jews for Palestine.
Big J Okerson
Thank you, Bob. You just. I almost cost myself a million dollars. You just saved me there. You know what? You can get half a million dollars for things I make for gay Jews for Palestine.
Robert Kelly
I don't want the money. I'd take a pivot.
Big J Okerson
I mean, say no. Don't even say another word, dude, you got yourself a pivot.
Robert Kelly
Thank you.
Big J Okerson
You see, I like to arc it in you. Do I send it out?
Robert Kelly
You've gotten very Australian with your arc.
Big J Okerson
Oh, absolutely.
Robert Kelly
Nice first pivot.
Big J Okerson
I like when the pivots. It's nice when you see the pivot, like, goes away from you and then it cuts back to you. It's very nice feeling.
Robert Kelly
Oh, it feels like it was meant to be my pivot. Yeah, Yeah.
Big J Okerson
I let it go and it came to you.
Robert Kelly
Yes.
Big J Okerson
Damn. You get so much peanut butter in front of you.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, yeah. T.J. miller sent us in a box of peanut butter of his new peanut butter. And I actually really like the container it comes in. It's plastic and he Gave us cherry chocolate.
Big J Okerson
Okay.
Robert Kelly
Peanut butter, which I'm very excited about. And then he gave us. This is a toffee crispy.
Big J Okerson
Okay.
Robert Kelly
Peanut butter.
Big J Okerson
Did he send us or did he spend this all over this table and shove it right up our asses?
Robert Kelly
He did not send us spoons. But I did not check the box. Watching Jacob carry a box of 25 things of peanut butter in the room with all his strength he can muster, was very, very fun. Seeing him struggling, opening the door.
Jacob
Well, I'm very muscular, so it wasn't. It wasn't that. I am in great shape, but I work out. I also had all my. My winter gear.
Big J Okerson
Okay.
Jacob
So it was. It was awkward, more than heavy.
Big J Okerson
Understood.
Robert Kelly
Yeah. Carrying in the. The likes of an Eskimo.
Big J Okerson
Drew that. Yeah.
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Big J Okerson
Do you guys remember what I was thinking about peanut butter? Remember the second Real World? Was it the second one with Puck? Does anybody remember Real World going back? Puck.
Robert Kelly
I remember Puck.
Big J Okerson
That was San Fran, right? Puck and Pedro, who had aids. And the big argument over the peanut butter. Christine, bring out the peanut butter fight. Pedro was super Spanish and he had aids.
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Big J Okerson
And he brought it up a lot.
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Big J Okerson
You know that I have Hayes. You know, I have me. And masculine say wades. You know I have Wades, but you know that I have wades. And you put your finger in my peanut butter. And that's what they're. No, no, no. It's not spinning. It's the peanut butter incident. No, no, don't do verse. Peanut butter. You put your finger in my peanut butter. That's one of my favorite impressions of all time. And I have weds. And you put your finger in my peanut butter. Puck.
Robert Kelly
Wow.
Christine
Oh, here it is. That's it.
Robert Kelly
He was very. I mean, talk about dirty.
Big J Okerson
Talk with the scars. I have A's. And you put your finger on my peanut butter.
Robert Kelly
You know, dirty. You have to be with a guy with AIDS to go, yo. You put your dirty skateboard figure in my peanut butter.
Big J Okerson
In my peanut butter.
Robert Kelly
I'm worried about getting your heads and having double eds.
Big J Okerson
I think he ended up. He died from AIDS eventually.
Robert Kelly
He did die.
Big J Okerson
He did, yeah. From aids.
Robert Kelly
He's dead. No, he died.
Big J Okerson
Peanut butter. From botulism.
Robert Kelly
From Puck's dirty film.
Big J Okerson
You know what? He didn't realize that Puck saved him that day because he didn't know he had a peanut allergy. And then you know what? I finally. A peanut butter. And it's what they mean.
Christine
Oh, wow. He died young, huh?
Robert Kelly
He died at 22.
Christine
That was like, must have been right after the show.
Robert Kelly
That was like real AIDS. That was like, you know, Tom Hanks, AIDS. Philadelphia.
Jacob
He died in 94.
Christine
Yeah.
Jacob
Oh, that's before they had the cocktails.
Robert Kelly
Before Magic Johnson. Fucking.
Big J Okerson
Yeah.
Jacob
Everyone.
Big J Okerson
Wrong.
Robert Kelly
Look, we can't lose him. We have to give them the cure. Now we're going to wait 10 years to get rid of more of them.
Big J Okerson
We can't have Magic Johnson.
Robert Kelly
We can't have Magic.
Big J Okerson
That guy fucked so many white women. We can't have the world thinking that you're dead for sure. If you get this.
Christine
So this released he. The season he was on, what ran June 30th to November 10th, 1994, and then he died on the 11th.
Big J Okerson
Wow.
Robert Kelly
He died right after.
Christine
A day after the last episode aired.
Robert Kelly
Wow.
Jacob
Damn.
Christine
That's pretty crazy.
Big J Okerson
What is the ultimate thing?
Christine
AIDS flare up in a cold or.
Big J Okerson
I don't know a whole lot about aids. Yeah. Splinter. Splinter.
Robert Kelly
I don't know. Listen, AIDS back then, though.
Big J Okerson
Oh, he's Cuban American. So he brought AIDS here. Where you went, Bobby. Remember? You went to the home of aids. Cuba.
Robert Kelly
It's not the home of aids.
Big J Okerson
It is now.
Robert Kelly
Actually, Atlanta is the home of AIDS now.
Big J Okerson
It was you went to the home of aids.
Robert Kelly
It was not the home of aids.
Big J Okerson
Yeah. Oh, can I get some cigars and AIDS while I'm here? Yes. Bobby, bring me back some aids.
Jacob
I gotta say yes. Like, imagine you do know a guy has aids, but back then you didn't know. You're. You're paranoid as hell.
Big J Okerson
I would say you certainly get it from sharing peanut butter with fingers.
Jacob
Yeah. So I'm saying, like, if you're a guy, are you. Oh, you're gonna just take a guy with AIDS peanut butter and stick your finger in it and eat it?
Robert Kelly
No, I wouldn't even know back then.
Jacob
Yes, back then, when you scared.
Robert Kelly
You were scared to be in the same room.
Jacob
But this dude, he's saying, had no issues whatsoever. Just let me have your peanut butter.
Robert Kelly
It was Puck.
Big J Okerson
It was Puck. He would have let Pedro fucking raw dog him for $5. The guy was a bum.
Robert Kelly
Yeah. Puck didn't even use toilet paper to wipe.
Big J Okerson
Yeah.
Jacob
And he's alive, I'm sure.
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Big J Okerson
Puck, I think, probably still alive. I think he got his shit together eventually. Yeah.
Christine
But Daniel, I think.
Robert Kelly
Adri, why do they say age related incident?
Christine
Pedro from the real world.
Robert Kelly
Don't share straw flu.
Big J Okerson
Don't become blood brothers. Even though he's super cool.
Christine
He'S still alive.
Big J Okerson
You can get dinner together, but don't Share a fork. And you could kiss him on the forehead, but not if he has a cut on his forehead. Streets of being friends with Pedro, tough. In the 90s, nobody knew anything.
Robert Kelly
Puck has his shit together.
Big J Okerson
Oh, no.
Robert Kelly
He's growing garlic.
Big J Okerson
I use Pedro's toothbrush. Then Philadelphia still starts playing. You shared a toothbrush. You probably got his spit in your spit. And now you got gummies.
Jacob
You have to defeat gummies personalities, man. I mean, this guy had no. No fear.
Big J Okerson
What?
Robert Kelly
Puck or I. I believe Pedro had no fear. He. Somebody without a condom during aids. That's fearless.
Big J Okerson
Who did?
Robert Kelly
Pedro.
Big J Okerson
Yeah. Pedro was fearless.
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Jacob
But Puck, he's ate his peanut butter.
Big J Okerson
Yeah. Yeah.
Jacob
Without a spoon.
Robert Kelly
I was a scared. I was afraid to women when AIDS was around.
Jacob
Yeah.
Big J Okerson
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
It was terrifying.
Big J Okerson
Especially the women you were with. With penises.
Robert Kelly
I've never.
Big J Okerson
Aids.
Robert Kelly
I've said the guy with pink fingernails. I've never. I've never.
Big J Okerson
This is support for breast cancer. Nothing to do with aids.
Robert Kelly
Nothing to do with breast cancer.
Big J Okerson
What? How dare you.
Robert Kelly
I was.
Big J Okerson
I celebrate with the NFL. Breast cancer awareness.
Robert Kelly
I was terrified of AIDS when age was around. It was.
Big J Okerson
Yeah, me too.
Robert Kelly
It was like. It was the same thing as Covid. Covid and AIDS were so similar.
Big J Okerson
I stopped guys altogether.
Robert Kelly
You did?
Big J Okerson
Oh, cold turkey.
Robert Kelly
Even blowing them.
Big J Okerson
Yeah. Yeah.
Robert Kelly
Okay.
Christine
Wait, you were actually, like, having gay sex during AIDS? You, Jay, you lost your virginity in what, like 93, 94, 97?
Robert Kelly
99? 99.
Big J Okerson
4.
Robert Kelly
It was still pretty 2012.
Big J Okerson
2012, 2014. Wait, which. Which virginity?
Christine
I feel. Yeah, I feel like. I don't know.
Big J Okerson
I was eight for each hole.
Robert Kelly
I was. I was banging during aids. Yeah, I was banging.
Christine
You're banging in the AIDS epidemic.
Robert Kelly
I was banging.
Big J Okerson
Bobby used to bang people who went to the AIDS clinic. He's like, she's probably there for some paperwork. She probably just get some literature about aids.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, but I was banging. That's when I was, like, into sobriety a lot. And I was going to, like, those AA dances and banging chicks with, like, three months.
Big J Okerson
Yeah.
Christine
How do you not have hepatitis?
Robert Kelly
I should have got something.
Christine
Bunch of sober chicks block the aids.
Big J Okerson
Peanut butter was the only cure.
Robert Kelly
I told you. I went to a doctor because I had sex with a girl without a condom. And I was afraid I had AIDS just because of the girl. And he was like, do you. He's a. Do you share needles? You share needles, drugs, heroin? I go, no, I'm sober. He goes, do you have sex without a condom with women? I go, yes. He goes, do you have sex with men without a condom. I go, no, I'm not gay. He goes, no, you don't have it, you're fine. I go, what? He goes, it's so hard to get AIDS in a vagina. You don't have it as long as you don't have an anal sex with women without a condom.
Big J Okerson
So how did Magic Johnson get it?
Robert Kelly
You're not banging because he's banging dudes, come on. Banging, dude. Come on.
Big J Okerson
Is that why you think his son's a little twirly bird?
Robert Kelly
My son. My son is. My son is not going to get aids. He's going to have a baby, but he's going to have a few kids, but he's not going to get aids. No.
Big J Okerson
Magic Johnson's son, His name should be aids.
Robert Kelly
What's going on, dude? A lot of Hollywood.
Big J Okerson
My name's aids. Fantasia. Oh, God.
Christine
Oh, he's gone full blown. He was really just flamboyant before. Now it looks like he's transitioned.
Big J Okerson
What? Shut up. Don't say things like that.
Robert Kelly
That's Jay in fucking six months.
Big J Okerson
God damn right, dude. I can't wait.
Robert Kelly
Hey, Jay's gonna be wearing a dress like Marilyn, man. Oh, look at the. That's actually Jay's outfit. I've seen that outfit on you.
Big J Okerson
We just need one more. You're right.
Robert Kelly
You own that exact outfit.
Big J Okerson
I think I did Conan on that outfit.
Robert Kelly
Those are your. Your summer sh.
Big J Okerson
Pretty sure it's the after I wore on Conan. Whether you're scouring business financial sites or listening to economics podcasts like this one, you'll find there's no secret to successfully managing your company's finances.

Business PNC bank brilliantly boring since 1865. PNC Bank National association member, FDIC. When work gets crazy, I like to stop by the bar after, have a few cold ones. I don't drink at all until 4:00.
Robert Kelly
We limit ourselves to one bottle of wine a night. Excessive drinking has a way of sneaking up on us. A few drinks a few nights a.

I put my whole family on Babbel right now with a quick 10 minute lesson handcrafted by over 200 language experts. B get you talking in a new language just three weeks and with the advanced speech recognition by Babbel it's like having a personal language tutor in your pocket helping you pronunciate whenever you open your mouth. I got Babbel. I hopefully know Spanish and Italian by the end of the year and I already know a bunch of words. I know a couple swears too. Not on there from the guy I met in Cuba. Here's a special holiday deal for our listeners right now. Get up to 60% off your Babbel subscription but only for the bonfire with Big J Okerson and Robert kelly.

Big J Okerson
Dude, a zip. Up he goes, man. Bobby wears a suit every day. But that thing is disheveled.

Here, Jacob, Where'd you go? It's too game. We're talking about fur. Yeah. You think fur is murder. Did you go out there and throw red paint on a helpless woman? Was causing no problems whatsoever.
Robert Kelly
Do you have a fur coat, Christine?
Christine
Fake.
Robert Kelly
Oh, there it is. Yeah, but fake isn't the same as real.

Angry Birds, Brick Breaker, Candy Crush. Like every time I get a game where it's more involved, like a adventure game or some kind of walkthrough thing on my phone, I'm always like, I don't. This isn't what I want to do on my phone. I want to have mindless. Just like flick another bird at the thing. Oh, I'll aim the bird at that part and see if that. Which is all stupid games.
Robert Kelly
I used to Quake. I used to play Quake on the computer before they came out with the Xbox. And you had to play on a keyboard with a mouse. So I had to learn like WS all that.
Big J Okerson
What a geek.
Robert Kelly
And I Used to play. Rogan was a big Quake dude.
Big J Okerson
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
Like, he was great. Him and Dane, we would play, I mean, into the wee hours of the night. They actually had a board where they took. You know, they took the characters, but they made them mini. So you were in a kitchen and you had to fight people in this kitchen. But you could go into the microwave, you could jump into the sink. It was like. Everybody was like.
Big J Okerson
So the graphics were ass, though, I bet.
Robert Kelly
No, they were fantastic. You'd be looking from a plant across the room on a windowsill and you'd see a dude go into the microwave on your scope and you could shoot the on button and blow them up in the microwave and make them explode. It was. Quake was insane. Quake was great.
Big J Okerson
Cut you out of it.
Robert Kelly

You know, the pat. No, not even. It was like the number pad for. But one of the fighters was Rocky. Like, it was. It had. Great. One was a kangaroo. But it was the best technology at the time. But you were just like, it sucks not playing with a controller.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, it was a curve.
Big J Okerson

Robert Kelly
I hated the curve. But once I learned the curve, I actually had a special keyboard for gaming. Wow. For my hands that I would put my hands in.
Big J Okerson
Remember you said earlier in the show, you don't have aids?
Robert Kelly
I tell you what I got. So you're right.
Big J Okerson
You can't get AIDS when you're fucking dweeb. Whoever gets pussy. Or you'd be lucky to get gay dick at that rate. We were playing these fucking video games.
Robert Kelly
I remember one night there was a girl playing. I was like 4 in the morning. Dom was in the other room and there was a girl playing. And you could talk. So I had my headset on and she was just like, hey. She had like a sexy voice. So me and her went into some, like, building as our characters and we. I jumped up on a box and she went back and forth with her character.
Big J Okerson
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
Like she was blowing me. It was really just a soldier blowing another soldier. It still did something. She was like, hey, come over here. And I followed her into this abandoned building. And your character, my whole team, our whole team was fighting over here trying to win this game. And my, my. I crouched down and put my little thing there. And she kind of just went back and forth with her head, her character. So it looked like she was blowing. But she's like, you like that? I'm like, oh, yeah, I like that.
Big J Okerson

Big J Okerson
You had cyber sex while you were watching two army men have sex with each other blowing each other.
Robert Kelly

Big J Okerson
And you loved it.
Robert Kelly
I not only loved it, I wish I could do it again at some point with. Now that the graphics are so good.
Big J Okerson
I feel bad that today was your therapy day. You already had it. You should have brought this up.
Robert Kelly
Do you remember Lara Croft?
Big J Okerson
Sure.
Robert Kelly
That game, Tomb Raider, there was a sequence you could do where she would get naked.
Big J Okerson

Robert Kelly
Yep.
Big J Okerson
No.
Robert Kelly
100%.
Big J Okerson
Christine, bring up naked Lara Croft sequence.
Robert Kelly

Big J Okerson
But no. Here's the thing. If you look up naked Lara Croft, there's gonna be a thousand things. But I'm talking about something in the actual game.
Robert Kelly
In the game.
Big J Okerson
No.
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Big J Okerson
They wouldn't do that.
Robert Kelly
Why wouldn't they do that?
Big J Okerson
Because that's not how games work. They don't put in dirty secrets.
Robert Kelly
Yeah. You don't know that.
Big J Okerson
I do.
Robert Kelly
You don't know games.
Big J Okerson
It would be a thing.
Robert Kelly
You're a fucking thumb person. I'm a full keyboard guy.
Big J Okerson
I don't know. I bring it up. Madden NBA. I'll make you look a fool, dude.
Robert Kelly
Madden NBA. First of all, you can blow. LeBron James can take his dick out if you put in a certain code. He slammed dunks over a guy and his goes in the guy's mouth.
Big J Okerson
This can't be true.
Robert Kelly
That's true.
Big J Okerson
She has a great though Lara Croft from this fake thing.
Robert Kelly
Beautiful, man.
Big J Okerson
No, it's a mod. It's like someone did this afterwards. It's not like in the game. It's not a secret in the game. It's. Someone did something to the game.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, you can. You can unlock a mod and put it in and see her naked in the game.
Jacob
Lara Croft looks like a guy now.
Big J Okerson
Really?
Jacob
What a original girl. The actress they give her short was Camille Ludding.
Big J Okerson
I don't know who that is.
Jacob
Beautiful actress.
Robert Kelly
Let me tell you something.
Big J Okerson
Who is it now?
Jacob
I don't know.
Robert Kelly
She can't even climb. She can't even climb up the hill.
Big J Okerson
Boy. Yeah.
Robert Kelly
I can't get that. There's nine other lesbians pulling her up on a rope. I don't want a man's help.
Big J Okerson
Lesbians unite.
Jacob
Camilla Ludington got super naked in Californication.
Big J Okerson
Yeah.
Jacob
Oh my God. But that was who the original game.
Big J Okerson
Was based off of.
Jacob
Yeah. She did the original digitizing for Lara Croft. She should have played her in a movie.
Robert Kelly
Wow.
Jacob
Stunning.
Robert Kelly
Who is this again?
Jacob
I remember this.
Big J Okerson
She has very athletic tomb rating tits if I may say. It's Jacob's type.
Robert Kelly
Little dimples on the ass.
Big J Okerson
Oh, she has.
Christine
She has a back.
Robert Kelly
I like little butt dimples. Who don't.
Big J Okerson
Yeah. You know, no one ever's demons are like. I hate those. Do you know what I hate? A really great ass with those dimples. Makes me sick. Call me a weirdo, but it makes me sick to my stomach.
Robert Kelly
I think. I think playing video games that they add the little weird shit into it is kind of hot.
Big J Okerson
I feel like. I don't know if they do any of that stuff anymore. I thought was neat. Like in the baseball. RBI baseball in Genesis there was like a. If you touched like certain buttons, he would do a spitball. It was like a little square would open up and it was like you weren't supposed to do it. In fact most of the time it would be. They'd. It was like either a strike, like you would get away with it or you. It would be like he'd fucking rock a grand slam or something on you. But you could do it like once in a while as a spitball. But it was like a secret. It wasn't in the thing. It was like you had to get whatever magazine, you know, Game Informer magazine in the back would tell you that at one time. Yeah, spitball.
Robert Kelly
They used to have that with Tekken too. They had secret like a cheats that you could, you know. But you had to like, you know, you had to have like 19 fingers to do it.
Big J Okerson
Well, everything on Nintendo I believe there was up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, ba select, start. Yeah, I think up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, ba select start. And that was 30 guys in contra.
Robert Kelly
Oh no shit.
Big J Okerson
Oh yeah. That was the biggie for me. 30 guys. And I went to beat Contra. Kill that mother brain. And Metroid also. You were able to get a bunch of lives in Metroid. These games, I had that Steam deck. And I'll tell you, these games when you go back, like, dude, I'm gonna fucking run through Metroid again. And five minutes later, you're like, I have what looks like an actual basketball game I'm controlling on my tv. And the other, you know, I mean, it's like, it doesn't really add up. So that Steam deck, still, I end up playing, like, Mario Brothers and shit. Like, silly games, like the intense games I'd have to play on a big tv.
Robert Kelly
Well, Lou was Grand Theft Auto, brought his vest, and he has a vest that you can wear now with Oculus Quest.
Big J Okerson
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
So it actually. You can feel people coming up behind you.
Big J Okerson
It should be the most comfortable in the relationship that black Lou's wife has ever felt that he's there for the long haul. He's given up on purchasing things that'll make him look cooler. And he's super stoked to show everybody off his vibrating vest for his Call of Duty game.
Robert Kelly
I tell you what, Lou, that guy.
Big J Okerson
Is happy to have a family, and he has settled in and loves the shit out of that family. Family.
Robert Kelly
I'll tell you what, though. He wore the vest here. Didn't you wear it here? You wore it.
Big J Okerson
God damn right he did. He wore it here. He. Everybody tried on. Yeah.
Robert Kelly
It was amazing. What's it called again?
Big J Okerson
It's the woojer vest. W O O J E R vest.
Robert Kelly
I want to say.
Big J Okerson
It's called the. No more I want to say to.
Robert Kelly
The advertising team of SiriusX, can you please get us some cool woozer vests and like that?
Big J Okerson
What are you gonna do with this?
Robert Kelly
I will wear it all the time. You don't think I'd wear that all the time? Oh, God.
Jacob
But the thing is, he's also wearing this. Just walking down the street like Tony Manero, playing music. It vibrates to music also.
Robert Kelly
Oh, God.
Jacob
Playing it on the street.
Robert Kelly
You can't help.
Big J Okerson
Who's gonna stop every three blocks to come. Sorry. A lot of bass in this one.
Robert Kelly
Ooh, ooh. You can't help but dance. When you put this vest on, it's making you dance.
Big J Okerson
You can't help but dance because it's basically like giving you electronic shocks. It's also. This is what they use in physical therapy to make your muscles stimulate.
Robert Kelly
I would hate this because if I bought this a couple years ago, I'd have to call them up. Do you guys have an extension?
Big J Okerson
Do you guys have. Yeah, it's like, you can't. It's pretty Fine. It looks like something you have to be thin to wear is made for something for such a fat activity. Hey, you want to never leave a computer chair the rest of your life? Here, put this on Skinny.
Robert Kelly
They actually have video games now that you can. It's like you're on a circular treadmill. So you can. Like when you play in Call of Duty, you can actually run and, you know, crouch down and actually run in the game. You shouldn't as your guy. I don't know. It's kind of cool.
Big J Okerson
No, no. Go live life and stop being in front of TV playing video games.
Robert Kelly
You're talking about a guy who goes away and spends his most of his time on his tummy.
Big J Okerson
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
Watching Joe Manneris videos. Yes.
Big J Okerson
Germany's documentaries. I'm not taking in the new hits.
Robert Kelly
I kind of like it. I like technology like that.
Big J Okerson
You're right. On the weekends, I do, like, hibernate for the most part. Unless I have somebody that I take them to lunch if someone's opening for me. We'll go to lunch or go around a little bit. But you.
Robert Kelly
If someone bought you that, you wouldn't wear it to listen to music?
Big J Okerson
No.
Robert Kelly
Would you wear it working out?
Big J Okerson
Nope.
Robert Kelly
Would you wear it masturbating? Would you wear it watching Christine masturbate?
Big J Okerson
No. I would wear it if one day we were like, oh, let's do pictures where we. We all dress like Tupac. I would wear that over. I would wear that over a white shirt and have a blunt in my mouth and do like this with a. With a hat that's got a very long top to it that kind of flops over.
Robert Kelly
I would wear that to the beach just playing my music out loud. If you could hear love, what would it sound like?
Big J Okerson
Son, can we talk about your drinking?
Robert Kelly
Yeah, Dad, I think we should. Helping those closest to you think about their excessive drinking. Maybe that's what love sounds like.
