Robert Kelly
The first one was AI.
Jay Oakerson
That was AI.
Robert Kelly
That's AI. That's not a real human being.
Jay Oakerson
Right?
Robert Kelly
They're taking rap songs. They took TUPAC, they took 50 Cent, they took Eminem. And they're doing, you know, back in the day songs which. What's that turning into Motown. Yeah, Motown, which I like. I like. I like that song better as Motown than I do the regular song.
Jay Oakerson
Just feels wrong.
Robert Kelly
Does not feel wrong.

Do the intro again, Lou. And now the bonfire with Big J.

We both have girls that we don't have to have sex with that do everything that girls have sex with their men do. Oh, yeah. How great is that? We don't have the negative. What are you doing now? We don't have none of that. Why don't you come in the bedroom? I got something I bought for you. Oh. Nighty. That's sexy.
Jay Oakerson
It is nice living without that pressure.

Elote? What's elote?
Jay Oakerson
Is that how you say it?
Robert Kelly
I don't know.
Christine
Street corn.
Jay Oakerson
The street corn.
Robert Kelly
Is that what it's called? Elote?
Jay Oakerson
I think so.
Robert Kelly
You know more Spanish than me. And I've been doing Duolingo for 257 days.
Jay Oakerson
I have a daughter who speaks fluent Spanish who's half Hispanic.
Robert Kelly
And that's because you had sex with one.
Jay Oakerson
I know. Or near one, even.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, that's true.
Jay Oakerson
All you gotta do is be near one.
Robert Kelly
Oh, I love elote. Elote is my favorite. It's mayonnaise with.

Elote.
Jay Oakerson
I think we're saying it right.
Robert Kelly
Who cares? How was your weekend, buddy? Dude, I was in a Rochester. I know, and it was great.
Jay Oakerson
Emotional. When you saw the old farmer, you got raped.
Robert Kelly
I didn't get raped there, actually. When I showed up there my first day, I told you I had a big lesbian woman in overalls from my boss.
Jay Oakerson
Nice.
Robert Kelly
Really, really nice woman, but very tough. And then she goes, go to the barn. You gotta. You gotta clean all the stalls. And I was in Jordache jeans, nice black wife beater and mirror shades.
Jay Oakerson
Those jeans were hugging him. I bet your curves.
Robert Kelly
It was so. So. I look so good.
Jay Oakerson
Those Jordaches, really, I bet, were coming up underneath that cake they.
Robert Kelly
They made you package. Nice. Yeah, but they really weren't for cleaning stalls.
Jacob
Oh.
Robert Kelly
And I remember I walked up. There was a mentally retarded guy working there.
Jay Oakerson
Nice.
Robert Kelly
He was walking up to me, and he had a cat lying in his arms. And the cat was, like, almost, like, folded over, like, sleeping in his arms. And then as I got closer, I realized that he had his finger on the cat's vagina.
Jay Oakerson
Oh.
Robert Kelly
And I went, you're not supposed to do that, dude. And he goes, I'm sorry. I know. I'm sorry. And the cat was like, yo, man, mind your business.
Jay Oakerson
Yeah. The cat was like, oh, hello. Who's the new cockblock?
Robert Kelly
Yeah. He was like, mind your business. Who's the new book?
Jay Oakerson
How is Rochester?
Robert Kelly
That club is great. I love the guy.
Jay Oakerson
Mark.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, Mark. He says yabba dabba doo a lot, which genuinely. Yeah, he goes, yabba dabba doo. Yeah, he uses it. That's his thing.
Jay Oakerson
You know what's crazy? Is that new?
Robert Kelly
No, it's all. That's his thing. For years when I first met him, he'd be like, dude, tonight, packed room. Yabba dabba doo. We got it going on.
Jay Oakerson
I'm not familiar with you. Maybe you got to be inner circle for that.
Robert Kelly
He picked me up at the thing. He said, yo, Bobby, good to have you back. We're gonna kill it this weekend. Yabba dabba doo. Let's do it.
Jay Oakerson
I don't like it.
Robert Kelly
You don't like yabba dabba do?
Jay Oakerson
I don't think you do either.
Robert Kelly
I hate it. But I like him so much that I'm like, yeah, but he's great. Yeah, he's great. The other owner is great, too. Oh, I found out something.
Jay Oakerson
Oh, what?
Robert Kelly
The other owner is this Indian guy and his beautiful wife. Not Indian. Um, yeah. Yeah, it's. Well, it's pretty crazy up there. Well, here's the thing with that town, which I didn't know until this weekend.
Jay Oakerson
Lawless Indians marrying non Indians.
Robert Kelly
No, it's. It's nice. It's a beautiful town. For three blocks.
Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
And then. And then it gets ruthless. I went to Walmart. I forgot my sauce.

Jay Oakerson
Well, you shouldn't let her dress you. She's dressing you for failure out there.
Robert Kelly
What do you mean?
Jay Oakerson
I mean she's dressing you for success in comedy. They're gonna go, look how silly Bobby looks. And he's doing comedy because he's silly.
Robert Kelly
Why do I look silly?
Jay Oakerson
Because she's dressing you.
Robert Kelly
She's not dressing me.

Jacob
Or do you say, I'll take this, this, this and this. Get it done.
Robert Kelly
I'm gonna say this, I don't do that, but I'm gonna start doing that. I'm gonna start standing in front of my walk in room that. I have the walk. I love it. I'm gonna go, that, that, and then I'm gonna go.
Jay Oakerson
You have a personal shopper. I like it.

Jay Oakerson

Jacob
I want you to do that.
Robert Kelly
No, here's the.
Christine
I want to get you, like, the computer system and clueless. I can match all your outfits.
Robert Kelly
Well, I only wear True classic shirts. I wear True classic jeans. True classic underwear. If they made the socks, I'd wear them. It's not that hard to pack for me. Pair of jeans, pair of workout clothes. Sweatpants, two or three true classic black or V, crewneck or V. And then a couple hoodies and a jacket. Or even a shirt jacket.
Jay Oakerson
A what?
Robert Kelly
A shirt jacket. Okay, it's a shirt, but it's also a jacket, which I love. I love a shirt jacket.
Jay Oakerson
And you point she packs.
Robert Kelly
I don't do that. But I should have did that.
Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
Because when I got there, I didn't have socks.
Jay Oakerson
Yeah, yeah.
Robert Kelly
Which was uncomfortable. So I went to Walmart to buy socks. Sure, Walmart. Best place to buy socks. Not in Rochester, buddy. Locked up. The socks are fucking locked. They have sock jail in fucking Rochester.
Jay Oakerson
Sure.
Robert Kelly
And you notice they don't have it.
Jay Oakerson
Rochester, number one thing. Bums will steal.
Robert Kelly
It's fucking crazy. You know what they don't have in Rochester at Walmart? Person with a key to the socks. It says push button. All the buttons are fucking broken. The batteries, they didn't just. Whatever they do. So you have to find somebody with a key. I walked up, no joke, to 15 people with vests. Yeah, Walmart vests. And I said, you got a key? And they went, nah. And I was like, do you have a key? Nope. I was like, what about you? Nope. I literally there was five of them behind the electronic couch. I go, hey, I've asked all five. I go, hey, I need a key. I want to get socks. What do you want me to do? They went, I don't know. I go, should I not get the socks? They're like, I wouldn't.
Jay Oakerson
Rochester, I want you to hear this and you hear this good. God has forgotten about you. You should migrate somewhere else and just abandon the place. God has forgotten you. He stopped caring. You can't figure it out. Your self esteem is so low. Your big food is called a garbage plate.
Robert Kelly
You can't get. You have socks in jail.
Jay Oakerson
Your socks are in prison.
Robert Kelly
You have sock jail.
Jay Oakerson
Bobby got raped by a lesbian in overalls when he was a boy. It's a bad place. Even the best guy says yabba dabba do throughout conversations.
Robert Kelly
Yabba dabba do.
Jay Oakerson
And he's the best guy there. Oh my Christ.
Robert Kelly
There's a garbage plate right there.
Jay Oakerson
Oh, did you say beans at any point?
Robert Kelly
Oh, no, we didn't say beans. Potato, Matt.
Jay Oakerson
Oh, this one's got a full baked potato.
Robert Kelly
They got a macaroni salad.
Jay Oakerson
You don't put cold with hot macaroni salad, beans, potatoes, sausages.
Robert Kelly
It's disgusting.
Jay Oakerson
And then ground beef on top of the sausages with onions.
Robert Kelly
I do like that.
Jay Oakerson
What?
Robert Kelly
On the potato. Ground beef with onions on top of a baked potato. That sounds.
Jay Oakerson
It's not a baked potato. I was wrong. It's sausages.
Robert Kelly
Oh, sausages. Oh, my God. It is a sausage. Wow. That's disgusting. Yeah, it's.
Jay Oakerson
It's.
Robert Kelly
It's. It's definitely garbage. I'll tell you what they do have up there, though, which I like. They have hot chicks with no hope.
Jay Oakerson
Oh, yeah, for sure. Yeah.
Robert Kelly
Hopeless hot chicks.
Jay Oakerson
They're just waiting. They just can't wait. They just need to afford a bus ticket up to Syracuse and then find out. That sucks too. You're going the wrong direction, idiot.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, you gotta go down. They got hot chicks up there that just like. I think I heard one of them in the line while she was taking a photo. She went, take me with you. I was like, what? Take me with you.
Jay Oakerson
I can't eat any more garbage plates. It's killing me outside.
Robert Kelly
I'm too hot to be up here. He's a four. Coming 11.
Jacob
Take me some of the pictures of the hot. The garbage plates Christine put up. They make it their own. So they have cheese. Look, what do they call that? Processed cheese whiz on top. Just to make it their own little. That's our restaurant's cheese.
Jay Oakerson
Oh, you can add each. That's what I said before. I've seen them where there's a burger on it. A burger now a bunned dressed burger now.
Jacob
Listening on.
Robert Kelly
The Hawaiians have figured it out. A Moco Loco or a Loco Moco.
Jay Oakerson
I believe Hawaiians have figured nothing out.
Robert Kelly
Well, they have. They've figured out canoeing and flat backs on women.
Jay Oakerson
Barely.
Robert Kelly
But I love a Hawaiian. Hawaiian Loco Moco, I believe it's called, is my favorite fast food of all. It's a hamburger with. With gravy over rice with a. With an egg on top. Fried egg on top of. With macaroni salad. Now that's not bad.
Jay Oakerson
You said the Hawaiians have figured it out.
Robert Kelly
Yeah. As far as cleaning up the garbage plate, I believe that. Oh, look at that. Dude. That looks good. Come on, Jay.
Jay Oakerson
I don't know. I don't. I don't want to eat anything where it's like. It sounds like a challenge. I mean, you know, I don't know if you. How much duolingo you're doing, but that means crazy in there somewhere.
Robert Kelly
Loco, loco, loco. Look at that. Dude, look at that.
Jacob
You.
Robert Kelly
Do you like rice?
Jay Oakerson
Sure.
Robert Kelly
Do you like hamburgers?
Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Robert Kelly

Jay Oakerson
I don't like a runny egg on not breakfast food.
Robert Kelly

Jay Oakerson
Well, she can get breakfast rice.

Jacob
Where do you get. I've never seen a Hawaiian restaurant.
Robert Kelly
Dude, just type it in. Yelp. Hawaiian barbecue.
Jay Oakerson
I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what I won't do anymore. I made a mistake one time, but I think it may have been when Josh poured mole all over my bed. But it was two Hawaiian brothers. It's like a very. It's. Every city now has. It's a good late night or not a good. It's a late night option with Wendy's, Taco Bell, McDonald's and everything. It's called, like, Two Hawaiian Bros and man.
Robert Kelly
Sounds good.
Jay Oakerson
It just seems awful.
Robert Kelly
Sounds great. It's Hawaiian.
Jay Oakerson
You know, I ordered it once. It was not good.
Robert Kelly
You sure?
Jay Oakerson
Yeah. And I would. I'm not going back to see what else they have to offer.
Robert Kelly
Why was the mole on your bed? What were you two doing? Were you moleing?
Jay Oakerson
We were mole. It wasn't this. Because that wouldn't. This wouldn't have mole. That was a Mexican place we went to.
Robert Kelly
That is Mole's Mexican.
Jay Oakerson
And I go, do me a favor. Just eat over the towel on the bed. And then he took. Pulled the. Josh. Josh. He took the plate to his face and just poured it all over the bed. Poured mole all over the bed and away.
Robert Kelly
What'd you do? You didn't dump them after that? No. You've taken this guy back a lot.
Jay Oakerson
Yeah. Yeah. Here you go.
Robert Kelly
That looks good. Is there a moco? A loco moco.
Jay Oakerson
No, no moco loco there.
Robert Kelly
You sure?
Jay Oakerson
I've never seen it.
Robert Kelly
I love it. I love it. I love all that pork rice. Oh, that. That's gross, though. A macaroni. A macaroni salad with pork and rice is disgusting.
Jay Oakerson
It's the same thing. It's just wrapped.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, I know, but I don't like it. I like it separate. I like my cold macaroni salad. Ooh. Spam musubi.
Jay Oakerson
They're savages, these people.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, they were.
Jay Oakerson
Hawaiians are goddamn savages.
Jacob
Such a comeback.
Jay Oakerson
It's not. It's always been a Hawaiian thing.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, it's a wine thing.
Jacob
I'm seeing pictures of it pop up all over in the city.
Jay Oakerson
Because it's chic.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, it's chic.
Jacob
Probably cooking with Spam.
Jay Oakerson
Oh, yeah. Well, you also live in a garbage neighborhood.
Robert Kelly
Yeah. You live in a neighborhood. There's a bunch of different cultures smashed.
Jay Oakerson
A bunch of pieces of. And rats.
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Jay Oakerson
And there you rule as the rat king.
Robert Kelly
Everything get in your neighborhood comes with rice. Most of the food you have to eat with your right hand. No utensils. That's the grossest to me, whatever that food is. I follow some people on Instagram.
Jay Oakerson
Ethiopian.
Robert Kelly
Yeah. They just take a whole thing of something and flop it on the table. And there's like a fried. There's a. Like a boiled egg and all kind. And it's hot and it's gooey, and they just jam their fists into it. Like. Like four of them just start grabbing fistfuls of food and go.
Jay Oakerson
You're supposed to grab it with bread kind of thing, right?
Jacob
Yeah. I do like Ethiopian food.
Robert Kelly
They do it with. They do it with their fists.
Jay Oakerson
You like Ethiopian food?
Jacob
Yeah.
Jay Oakerson
What's your favorite? That was my. One of my favorite old Kermes jokes. He goes, I went to an Ethiopian restaurant, which, like, I didn't know what the hell that was. He was like. I thought that was their whole problem is they don't have food. And he goes. And he. He goes. Everyone gets a wooden bowl in front of them, and then you wait for your food to be donated from a more prosperous restaurant.
Jacob
I only went to one, and it closed.
Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Jacob
Maybe Brunswick.
Robert Kelly
Maybe it's that. That's why they just throw it on the table and eat with their fists. That's the food that we gave them.
Jay Oakerson
I'll have a fly on the eye. Soup and chapped lips. I'll have some chapped lipsticks.
Robert Kelly
You know, Ethiopian food. I guess that's what it is. It was. It's gross. I could never eat. Yeah. That is gr. I would never want to imagine going out to eat with a girl.
Jay Oakerson
No.
Robert Kelly
And you both jamming your fists into a movie. A rice.
Jay Oakerson
I wouldn't take a girl to fan to exotic food. First date, especially that'd be hilarious.
Robert Kelly
I should take Don.
Jay Oakerson
I go fist. I go fist a plate with Christine. But that's 14 years now.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, but. But grabbing food with your fist is gross, isn't it?
Christine
There was a girl I went to beauty school with that used to eat her lunch out of her container with her hands.
Jay Oakerson
What a scum. Did you report her to take her to HR and get her fired?
Christine
Older. I think she's an older Indian woman.
Robert Kelly
Everybody's hair smelled like paprika.
Jay Oakerson
Why didn't you. Why didn't you have her fired for being different?
Christine
Fired from beauty school?
Jay Oakerson
Yeah. Why wouldn't she? Fired from beauty school for being different.
Robert Kelly
Every time you're getting your facial done, you're smelling frankincense.
Jay Oakerson
I do kind of remember that. Let me tell you something. Yeah. The worst thing to do. Get. When I used to get my eyebrows threaded, which is Indian people. You catch them after. You got to go before lunch. You catch them after lunch because the whole thing is they put it in their mouth and they do a thing where it's like their mouth. So it's like they're right here with their mouth.
Robert Kelly
Oh, man, I see what they're doing.
Jacob
They're making sure. Like, they're clumping it. There's Paco into as tight a clump of food.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, they. Yeah, that's the same way. You actually hit a chick's G spot. The way they.
Jay Oakerson
You eat with a come hither motion.
Robert Kelly
Oh, it's gross. You make your hand into a little scooper, but the food's hot. That's what's weird. It comes out so piping hot, and they jam their fingers in and then you hear them go like this. Because it's too hot to eat.
Jay Oakerson
Yeah. Like, here's the thing, too, right? He's like. He's figured out backwards hats, so he. Forks available, Right?
Robert Kelly
The guy has a backwards hat on the video.
Jay Oakerson
He's figured out jewelry.
Robert Kelly
Why would you teach that to a kid? Just give him a spoon.
Jay Oakerson
Yeah. Hey, kid, you want to learn how to eat like a fucking bum?
Robert Kelly
Yeah. And hey. Shit. Sitting down to stop squatting in the front lawn.
Jay Oakerson
Yeah. Hey, you want to eat like you live in the fucking jungle?
Robert Kelly
What is that from? Why do they eat like that?
Jay Oakerson
Laziness. Is that because nobody wants to do dishes?
Robert Kelly
But is it because of. Is there a thing? Or is it just they. They just eat the way they ate before. They got spoons. They just eat the same way. Or is it a thing? Like it's better to eat with Your fist.
Jay Oakerson
It's not better.
Christine
Let's see what Google says.
Robert Kelly
I thought Christine was gonna answer me. Like she knew.
Jay Oakerson
It's cultural.
Christine
I was like, I'm typing. I'm typing.
Jay Oakerson
Sensory and traditional beliefs which are deeply rooted in practices like Ayurveda. Eating with hands is thought to create a deeper connection to the food by engagement. That's what I mean. Who needs that? I already have a weird relationship with my food. I don't want to fuck it too. I just want to eat it.
Robert Kelly
I wish. I would love to fuck it, you know?
Jay Oakerson
It's the best eating bar of Philadelphia cream cheese. We're just picking it up and letting it squish through my knuckles and then licking. And then licking my fists. I become. I'm becoming one with it.
Jacob
The tactile.
Jay Oakerson
Yeah. And then I get between my fingers. Then I. Then I eat out my finger webbing. And then I'm one with it. Like the mighty Indian.
Jacob
I remember reading, I. I was going down the road with some. There was some Disney movie, and it was a kid star that you would have recognized. And he made it to about 21 and then died of hepatitis A that he got in. In India.
Jay Oakerson
Oh, nice.
Robert Kelly
From eating.
Jacob
Yeah.
Jay Oakerson

Jay Oakerson
I had to.
Christine
That was his exact move in date.
Robert Kelly
Well, I told. I gave it. This is the funny part. I gave Don the option in la. Cause that's when Patrice, he's the one who told me I was in LA for two years and he stayed with me. And he literally was like, bobby, you gotta leave. You gotta get out of la. I was like, why? I was cooking him chicken. I was barbecuing chicken. He goes, you need to get the fuck back to New York right now. I was like, why? He goes, this is the best barbecue chicken I've ever had in my fucking life. You're a cook.
Jay Oakerson
You have too much time.
Robert Kelly
Yeah. He goes, I haven't seen you in the clubs. At all since I've been here. But this is the best chicken I've ever had in my life. And I literally moved under two months. I. I was like, he's right. I was cooking, dude. I was watching Food Network and waking up in the middle of the night and making pies.
Jay Oakerson
Yeah, Middle of the night pies.
Robert Kelly
Middle of the night pies, dude.
Jay Oakerson
For who?
Robert Kelly
For me.

Robert Kelly
No, that was the. That was the fourth fat. That was the fourth or fifth fat.
Jay Oakerson
When you were making midnight pie.
Robert Kelly
Midnight pies.
Jay Oakerson
Bobby's midnight pies should start a little window.
Robert Kelly
It was so bad. That's when the Food Network was starting to, you know, be a thing. I was watching Emerald and I think Rachel Ray and all these other things, and I was just cooking back then. Oh, I would go to the. I would go to the grocery store and get all the fixings and then come back and experiment, and Don hated it because I was a slob and.
Jay Oakerson
Oh, so you'd make it. But everything was everywhere.
Robert Kelly
Everything was everywhere. But I would.
Jay Oakerson
You were just about. Finished product.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, finished product. Which wasn't that good too, you know, except for my chicken. 5, 5, 4, 4, 3, 3, 2, 2, 1. One on each side. Perfect chicken. Yeah, perfect chicken. Perfect steak. And. Yeah, I moved back. We. And I gave her the option. I go, hey, I'm moving back to New York. I'm out. This fucking town is not for me. I'm going back to.
Jay Oakerson
I hate you. Clean this up.
Jacob
Bye.
Robert Kelly
I was like, listen, you can. You can come with me if you want, or you can go back to Boston and I'll let you know when I find a place and maybe, you know. So the plan was she was going to go back to Boston and live with her parents and then maybe come live with me after I got a spot because it was going to be too hard. But she was like, I'll just go with you. And I was like, all right.
Jay Oakerson
Fuck.
Robert Kelly
I don't know if I was like, fuck, but I think you have a.
Jay Oakerson
Few more months to dunk your doodle and some fucking New York strange.
Robert Kelly
Oh, I dunk my doodle for the.
Jay Oakerson
Next couple of years and it's New York strange.
Robert Kelly

Jay Oakerson
Yes.
Robert Kelly
She had the big space between her teeth. She was hot until she smiled.
Jay Oakerson
Absolutely.
Robert Kelly
And then you heard laser.
Jay Oakerson
You could fit a stack of note cards in there.
Robert Kelly
And then I left my cell phone at the Cellar. Flip phone. You know, I'm always ahead of the curve. Motorola flip phone with video and photo. First phone. The word first one with video and photo.
Jay Oakerson
And you left it.
Robert Kelly
And I left my phone, you fool, at the cell to drive these dancers, these Vegas dancers back to Long Island. Not knowing Long Island, I forgot about the word long. I swear to God, I thought Long island was like 20 minutes away. I was like, I'll give you a ride. And I rode them all back to Long island, and one of them lived on the tip. So it took me. It took me. It was so late, dude. And the one. The one I wanted to go with, I should have dropped her off first, but I had to. I had to drop her friend, you know what I mean? It was just the time, it didn't work. So I wound up dropping her off last. But it was so far away, and I had to go down and then back up and then back down. It was a nightmare. And I remember. I remember, I go. At one point, I went, fuck. And she was like, what? I go, I forgot my phone at the Cellar. And I go, give me your phone. And that's before you had a call? Like, yeah, you had to call like, zero. Hey, can I have the number for the comedy seller? And they would give you the number. And I was like, what's the number? And I called and it was Heather, who was the manager. She goes, oh. Oh, what's up? Oh, your girlfriend has it. I go, what? What? She goes, oh, yeah, somebody was calling. It kept ringing, so I answered it. I go, you answered my phone? She goes, yeah. And it was. I guess it was Dawn. And she was like, who's this? She thought you were with me. And I was like, oh, it's the manager of the Cellar. And she goes, where's Bobby? He goes, oh, he left a while ago. Ugh. And Don went, hold that phone. I'll be right there. This bitch did.
Jay Oakerson
This isn't password protected phones. This is. Just open your phone.
Robert Kelly
There's your old phone. There is no piece of button on that phone. And then this is the worst part. Her friend who Lived upstairs. When she got the phone, she went upstairs to her all up. And then she was like, where's his computer?
Jay Oakerson

Robert Kelly
Yeah. And they found taxes. Taxes, 1996. Taxes, 1996 folder.

Robert Kelly
It's like having Wall Street Journal file.
Jacob

Jay Oakerson
I can't think if I've ever had much, like, math practice file on your computer.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, dude, I had.

Because I wanted to get that vj. Let me tell you something. It was worth it. Holy. This girl gave great head in hindsight. And I remember I went home and I was in. I. We always. We were in a doorman building. So we always left our door unlocked. And I would just come in. And I remember I got to the door and it was locked. And I was like. And then I heard it was five in the morning and it was locked. And I'm like. And then I heard ding. Our floor elevator. That ding. And I just saw her with my computer, my other computer and my phone and her tears. And she went, you fucking. And then she said something that really changed my life.

Jay Oakerson
Then you beat them in them. You give them the beatings you can't give Dawn.
Robert Kelly
They were all in Dawn's wedding out. No, no. Well, it was, it was.
Jay Oakerson
See, I like, in arguments over reactions like that, though, you're like a serial killer. It makes me immediately go from like, oh, no, no. To go like, relax, like, serial killer.
Robert Kelly
It broke my heart. My heart crushed. I, I it me up so bad because it was. I'm an addict.
Jay Oakerson
You had to go out and kill.
Robert Kelly

Jay Oakerson
Is that true?
Robert Kelly
The sun came up. Yeah. I was sad, man. I love Dawn. I love her. You can laugh. It's all right.
Jay Oakerson
I know it is real and it is also funny. We sat on the floor.
Robert Kelly
We sat on the. We just sat and we're talking and sat on the kitchen floor and cried. And then I remember, she, you have nobody. You have nothing. And that's why. Because you can't connect to humans. I really do. I hope you die alone with a rat in your house. He will.
Jay Oakerson
That's another laugh for another time, Bobby.
Robert Kelly
And that's the problem when you open up on the bonfire.
Jay Oakerson
Go on.
Robert Kelly
I will.
Jay Oakerson
How are you sitting? What was your floor sit?
Robert Kelly
I was, I was, I couldn't sit like her.
Jay Oakerson
Was she back against the wall, knees bent so she can keep putting her forehead in her knees cry?
Robert Kelly
She was back between, on the wall between the fridge and the stove. I was on the front of the stove.
Jay Oakerson
I would be. Jesus Christ. I would be a. I would be a problem in that situation, especially sitting the floor. Like, I have to move. So she'd be getting annoyed when we're having this deep emotional conversation. And then I'd, like, switch and, like, Go like on my side like this for a while.
Robert Kelly
Yeah. And you'd be like.
Jay Oakerson
And after a while, I'm at the sit Indian style. Then my legs are gonna go to sleep and I go, it's not you. Yeah, it's not you. I just gotta punch my legs a little bit. No, no. I'm actually. I'm taking this very seriously, but it just honestly got my legs dead.
Robert Kelly
Maybe like this. Hey, can we switch? Can I get in the front of friggin. I'm a little peckish from all this crying.
Jay Oakerson
What if I lay on my back and put my legs up against the wall? Okay. I'm gonna be looking at you upside down, but I swear to God, I'm taking this seriously. I swear to God. Okay. What?
Robert Kelly
Hey, can you grab me the Wheat Thins? They're right. Right above your crying head.
Jay Oakerson
Yeah. No, she didn't mean anything. Why do you think that anyways, babe? Why do you think that?
Robert Kelly
Well, here. I never. She never asked me what happened. She knew what happened. But we.
Jay Oakerson
She did gave them deep dickens, dude. She said, splitting them in half. She didn't ask.
Robert Kelly
At the end, she goes, what? Well, here's. Here's what. Here's the deal. You need to get help. You need to deal with this, and if. And I'll. I'll help you. I'll help you deal with it, and I'll be here for you if you can help it, or it's over. We got to walk away. And I went, let me get two days. Give me a couple days. Because I don't know if I'm. I might. I might just. I don't know if this might just be me. And I went to every single friend, all Norton, Voss, Dane at the time, Patrice. And they all said, let her. Patrice. He's like, bobby, you're a hunk of. Let her go. Just let her go.
Jay Oakerson
That's what I would have said.
Robert Kelly
She's a good person. I know you would have.
Jay Oakerson
You didn't ask me.
Robert Kelly
I didn't ask you at that time because you were open micro.
Jay Oakerson
I'd have been like. She said. She told me.
Robert Kelly
Ask him, open mic, what he thinks about relationships.
Jay Oakerson
I would have been like this. I'd have been like. I would have been like, wait, she told you. It can be over.
Robert Kelly
Hey, fat kid dressed like a black guy who does 10 minutes in front of me. What do you think I should do with my relationship?
Jay Oakerson
Oh, man. Let a be a man play. Gonna be a play. That's. Tell her if I was you. I was Being. I was being 1999. Jay. Oh, play it. Come on, man. You know what it is.
Robert Kelly
Shut up. I. The only person was Colin. Colin. I asked him and he. He had just gone through this, by the way, because he was married. People know. People know that McCallum was married to another woman. And. And it fell apart same way.
Jay Oakerson
And he got his dick sucked by a dancer from Long Island.
Robert Kelly
No, no, no.
Jay Oakerson
Dawn caught him.
Robert Kelly
Not as good as that.
Jay Oakerson
He goes, don caught him on your computer.
Robert Kelly
He was wearing Don's dress.
Jay Oakerson
Now, I guess he got caught the same way by dawn to know, by Heather.
Robert Kelly
Heather ratted him out too. You fucking buck tooth bitch. Oh, what an asshole she is.
Jay Oakerson
Oh, that girl, really. She could have eaten a sandwich through a fence.
Robert Kelly
She don't. Anyways, so Don, Colin said, he goes, this is what you do. You try. Go to therapy, find a therapist, try to deal with. This is. This is your addiction. This is. Instead of drinking and drugging right now. You're just doing this because you need to escape. You need to get away and you need. If you. If you care about her. And I was like, I do. I really do. I love her as a human and blah, blah, blah, give it eight months. And if you can't change in eight months, you walk away because you can't. But if you don't do this with.
Jay Oakerson
Eight months, it's arbitrary. I don't know, two thirds of a year.
Robert Kelly
So give it eight months. You might have been six months to eight months. He said, give it a little time, whatever. And he goes. And in. At least if you do it that way and you're still a piece of. And you're still cheating, you know, it doesn't. It wasn't meant to work out. But if you don't do this and you just leave, you'll regret it for the rest of your life because he just left.
Jay Oakerson
And that's when you and he.
Robert Kelly
He was like, I regret it. I regret it to this day. I up. I should have tried because he's married now. Well, then he met Jen after that.
Jay Oakerson
So he doesn't regret it.
Robert Kelly
Well, he doesn't now.
Jay Oakerson
Thought he regretted it.
Robert Kelly
He doesn't now, but he did regret it.
Jay Oakerson
Do you think he thinks now that being with this girl currently is the wrong move?
Robert Kelly
No.
Jay Oakerson
Does he look at her every day and go, I shouldn't have it up with that other one? No, but I think that would be awful.
Robert Kelly
He did for a minute. You know what I mean? And yeah, in hindsight, I guess he, you know, you meant to be with who you meant to be with. But I did it. I went to therapy. We talked and all that shit, and we worked it out. Now, was I flosser to keep her? It's not. It's so funny because it's. I found. I have an AA big book that I have, and I had. I. I got rid of everything. I literally deleted everything in front of her.
Jay Oakerson
You have a what book?
Robert Kelly
I have. I have a Alcoholics Anonymous big book.
Jay Oakerson
What's that mean?
Robert Kelly
It's a big book. It's a big book. It's the big book of alcohol, the story of Alcoholics Anonymous. It's a book you read when you get sober. They have the 12 steps in the big book. And so anyways, I had my big book, but in my big book, I kept a couple of the book, the photos, you know what I mean? Just in case old cereal, old Dexter needed to look at some blood samples again. Yeah, right.
Jay Oakerson
What are they, Polaroids?
Robert Kelly
Yeah, dude, I'm old. And.
Jay Oakerson
Yeah, dude, this is the 2000s.
Robert Kelly
This is up. So we get two years later, maybe three years later, we get into a big fight. Huge fight at the table, something like that. I don't know. The meatloaf was off. And some stupid fight, and I flipped. I was like, what the fuck? And I flipped the meatloaf for some. I'm just being an idiot. We get into a fight. She said something I said, and she goes, oh, yeah, I want to flip.
Jay Oakerson
Christine's meatloaf so bad.
Robert Kelly
She goes, oh, yeah, you.
Jay Oakerson
At least.
Robert Kelly
I was fucking with her about. I was fucking with her about some guy that she was. I was just busting her balls. I was busting her balls about some dude she was talking to or something. I guess she went and met somebody, like an old friend for coffee. And I was like, you went for coffee?
Jay Oakerson
Let it happen. You can't complain about any of that stuff forever.
Robert Kelly
I know, but I did, dude.
Jay Oakerson
Christine can go out and goes, hey, all of my ex boyfriends and a couple of guys, I want to fuck with me or go to a concert, I'd go, yeah, man. What fucking leg do I have to stand on? I'm like, I hope you have a great night. Call me when it's over. Whatever's over.
Robert Kelly
But we got in this big fight and she flipped out. She goes, oh, yeah, you motherfucker. Yeah, at least I don't have. And she went right to the big book. She owned the shelf tucked away, which I thought was safe, and she just dumps out. What's this? You Fucking freak. And it was just all these tits.
Jay Oakerson
And shit, and in your head you heard like, dexter.
Robert Kelly
Oh, shit, dude. Ah, shit, dude. Shit.
Jay Oakerson
Oh, no. She knows now.
Robert Kelly
Now I'm gonna have to fuck her.
Jay Oakerson
Think quick, Bob.
Robert Kelly
Think quick. And I just sat there and I was like. I didn't know they were there, but I found so funny.
Jay Oakerson
I was born in blood, dude.
Christine
The book you read every day.
Robert Kelly
I had no idea I was born in blood. The book that keeps me sober.
Christine
The one book in your house you read.
Robert Kelly
What a piece of.
Christine
I mean, you literally could have hid them anywhere else.
Jay Oakerson
I just had Christine order me. I sent Christina listing this week for the Allen Iverson book. A book. I haven't opened a book since the day I've met Christine. It would make more sense if I got that. To hide pictures of other women in. She's like, oh, is this another picture? I go, no, I think I want to find out about Allen Anderson's life. No, I'm going to own the book. I want the hard copy, and then I'm going to listen to it on audiobook.
Robert Kelly
Well, here's the problem is. Here's the problem is that I found that book today.
Jay Oakerson
Really?
Robert Kelly
Yeah. I found the book today, and in the book were still three Polaroids of tits.
Jay Oakerson
Really?
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Jay Oakerson
Nice. Who's tits anyone? Fun?
Robert Kelly
I don't know. Yes, you do, buddy. I swear to God, I almost asked.
Jay Oakerson
Dawn, a young ingenue, Yamaneika.
Robert Kelly

Jay Oakerson
Fresh on the scene Yamaneika when you preyed on her weakness. Her young girl weakness.
Robert Kelly

Christine
Look, I'm trying to think because Jay got me one, but I don't know what it is because he picked. He actually picked it out.

Episode: Garbage Plates & Heartbreaks
Date: October 21, 2025
Host: SiriusXM – Faction Talk Channel
This episode of The Bonfire delivers a wild, unfiltered ride through food oddities, comedy club war stories, and a raw, hilarious dive into relationship drama. Big Jay Oakerson and Robert Kelly swap stories about Rochester’s infamous “garbage plate,” bizarre food cultures, and open up about marital misdeeds, forgiveness, and the realities of long-term relationships. The show’s signature blend of quick banter, dark humor, and surprising sincerity shines, weaving food talk and personal confessions into comedy gold.

This core segment features Bobby’s unflinching, funny, and surprisingly moving tell-all about infidelity, addiction, and forgiveness in his marriage.
[50:13–56:07]
[57:29–58:59]
"Your self-esteem is so low, your big food is called a garbage plate."
— Jay Oakerson [10:40]
"It was our anniversary this weekend and nothing happened. So fantastic."
— Robert Kelly [03:05]
"He goes, ‘I haven’t seen you in the clubs... but this is the best chicken I’ve ever had in my life. And I literally moved under two months. I was cooking, dude.'"
— Robert Kelly [32:39]
“Her friend… found ‘taxes 1996’ folder. It wasn’t taxes.”
— Robert Kelly [37:36]
“You are…is it like all the same, like, you make—is the girl always nervous and harsh white lighting?”
— Jay Oakerson [40:06]
“We sat on the kitchen floor and cried. We sat on this kitchen and cried all morning.”
— Robert Kelly [41:12]
“I know it is real and it is also funny.”
— Jay Oakerson [41:25]
“If you…care about her…give it eight months. And if you can’t change…walk away.”
— Colin Quinn (as paraphrased by Robert Kelly) [45:26]
“If I deserved one, then she definitely…”
— Christine [54:51]
“If only you could suck my dick like her, I wouldn’t have to do this…”
— Robert Kelly [56:44]
The episode is rapid-fire, darkly humorous, and unfiltered, alternating between absurd food culture commentary and authentic, sometimes raw sharing about relationships and mistakes. The comedians roast themselves and each other, but beneath the laughs is an honest reckoning with personal faults and growth.
“Garbage Plates & Heartbreaks” is a masterclass in confessional comedy: the episode’s first half is a rollicking roast of regional food (from Rochester’s “garbage plate” to Hawaiian loco moco and Ethiopian hand meals), while the second devotes itself to Robert Kelly’s candid story of infidelity, regret, and the hard road to redemption. Jay Oakerson needles and comforts in equal measure, providing both comic foil and sympathetic friend. By episode’s end, the laughs are still coming, but so are the lessons—about honesty, forgiveness, and loving (and laughing at) yourself and your past.
For anyone craving comedy that’s both hilarious and heartfelt, this episode of The Bonfire stands out as a tour-de-force—deeply funny, brutally honest, and never afraid to dig into the messiness beneath the punchlines.
