Jay has a habit of over-texting famous people. He went into his text history and found a thread with Adam Granduciel from "The War On Drugs." Ten years ago, Jay thought he was starting a friendship with the singer, but the messaging soon turned one-sided. Before Jay reads the transcripts to Bob he tries to distract him with different subjects like family relationships, tap dancing, and jorts fashion. Bob cringes as Jay reveals his overstepping yet again with sad results. *To hear the full show to go www.siriusxm.com/bonfire to learn more!

Jay Oakerson
And now the bonfire with Big J
Bobby Kelly
Okerson and Robert Kelly.
Jay Oakerson
Bob, you can't enjoy this music. Turn it up in my headphones, Lou.
Bobby Kelly
Why can't I enjoy? I'd smoke pot before you were.
Jay Oakerson
You don't know what it's like, though.
Bobby Kelly
When you were drawing ding dings in
Jay Oakerson
your mom's house, you probably think the Cypress Hill guy's voice is annoying. But not me, dude. Because I'm there.
Bobby Kelly
I like it. I can get into it. I can go to it. I can go into a spiritual high, bro.
Jay Oakerson
On what, dude?
Bobby Kelly
Spirits get into spirituality, dude. I can just stop breathing, right? My little box breathing.
Jay Oakerson
That's not what Cypress Hill's talking about. No, no, no, I. Damn, Blackley. You jump on the subjects quick, huh? Jay's old celebrity DMS update. Get out of here.
Bobby Kelly
Why? What? Can I ask you a question?
Jay Oakerson
You sure can, dude. This is your show.
Bobby Kelly
Oh, I said hot dog throat.
Jay Oakerson
Got a question first.
Bobby Kelly
Did you hear it? First of all, I'm sorry, dude. I don't like dealing with these fucking hot dog people. They suck.
Jay Oakerson
Call them what you want.
Bobby Kelly
Fucking hot dog people they have, and they're so mean and they're like.
Jay Oakerson
They don't really give a fuck. I mean, the cart people. There's no one who's there, like. Because. Unless I bet if you go Here's. I don't like what they make. The street meat place right here on the corner. It's the. But it's the fucking line that goes around the block. And they. That guy makes. It's been like articles before. That's like. They call like the Million Dollar Cart. It's like. Makes like a million dollars a year. Probably more at this point now.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah, it's the best. It's the best hala in the city. Adele's.
Jay Oakerson
That's what it is.
Bobby Kelly
That's the name of the place.
Jay Oakerson
But they set up two trucks now, right next. Because they can keep making more.
Bobby Kelly
One makes the meat, one actually plates it.
Jay Oakerson
Is that what it is? And then car.
Bobby Kelly
But there's two sets up with more meat. Yeah, has to be. There's a car shows up in double parks with more meat. That's how much meat, how much they sell?
Jay Oakerson
Damn, dude. 6:00pm it starts. Chicken and lamb over spicy rice. It's crazy. 45 minutes to 2 hours wait.
Bobby Kelly
But yeah, it's crazy. And you come. If you come in the middle of night and there's still people in line.
Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
Is it really better than all the other street me?
Bobby Kelly
I don't know if you. What is that?
Jay Oakerson
It must be.
Bobby Kelly
It's. Oh, I mean, it's.
Jay Oakerson
Lou's logging into his AOL free 20 hours. What are you logging on? You can ask somebody their age, sex and location. You creep.
Bobby Kelly
It's Jacob doing a little side chat with some chick right now.
Jay Oakerson
Jacob, don't do it, dude. They're predator hunters.
Bobby Kelly
I don't know. I mean. But I would never wait in line for that. I don't hala. They just bleed the animal. There's no blood in the animal. That's all it is. It's only different to.
Jay Oakerson
I hate blood.
Bobby Kelly
Well, I mean, I hate blood too, but I just don't like the. They're friendly. Like, if you see those guys working with. They're actually nice. The people we deal with are the most miserable people. And I said, white onions. He goes, okay. I go, white onions, sauerkraut, mustard. And he goes, sauerkraut. I go, yeah, and white onions. He goes, onions. I go, white onions. Then he puts red onions. I go. I said, white onion. Do you have white onions? He goes, no.
Jay Oakerson
I saw you behind the car. You shouldn't have asked him. Why does every picture of the hot dogs have white onions on them?
Bobby Kelly
Because it's not.
Jay Oakerson
I didn't even think of white onions until I saw the picture of white onions. I was like, that's just white onions on my hot dog.
Bobby Kelly
I guarantee he had white onions. He just didn't want to use his fucking white onions. Yeah, he was. And then he asked me three times.
Jay Oakerson
He's racist. You think? Think he.
Bobby Kelly
I think he just.
Jay Oakerson
Red and brown onions, Indian onions.
Bobby Kelly
There was a family came up while I was there trying to get the white, the onions and the sauerkraut and the mustard right. And he literally just kept saying, hello, hello, let's Going, hello, hello. Trying to get them to stay while he dealt with my little white onions routine that we were going through.
Jay Oakerson
When I went over to get us an order, cheese fries. That was a whole ordeal too. That guy wasn't anywhere near the cart. Then he came back to the cart. I was like, I'm going to get four drinks. And he just had me holding him. I go, can I get a bag? He goes, yeah, hang on. And he left again and then came back with. He did come back with a bag. I don't know where the fuck he went.
Bobby Kelly
The whole thing about a cart is that it should be a good experience.
Jay Oakerson
It's a quick, fast, fast experience.
Bobby Kelly
Should be a fast, good, quick.
Jay Oakerson
You shouldn't be there for more than three minutes. I'd say tops.
Bobby Kelly
If I'm buying meat from a truck that is stored in a shed on the west side Highway. And it should be fast and it should be pleasant.
Jay Oakerson
Goddamn right it should not be. It's not asking too much.
Bobby Kelly
It's not asking too much. A smile. And I. You can smile with your fucking face.
Jay Oakerson
They could smile with their faces. I bet they would if we were Punjabi.
Bobby Kelly
I don't. I don't even know what they are.
Jay Oakerson
I think we need to start turning our racisms towards those people. They've had it a little too good for too long if you ask me.
Bobby Kelly
I think you're right. I think we need to leave the Spanish people alone because you know what they.
Jay Oakerson
The blacks you've had. We've had our fill of blacks.
Ad Voice
Yeah.
Bobby Kelly
Nobody wants to piss them off.
Jay Oakerson
No one's looking to piss them off. They're. They're growing at rapid rates.
Bobby Kelly
Did you see what happened at the Jay Z concert?
Jay Oakerson
My daughter was there. I don't know what happened, but I. I don't follow the story. The last night I've been talking about, my Isabella went Sunday.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah.
Jay Oakerson
And she was calling me at one point.
Ad Voice
I didn't.
Jay Oakerson
I couldn't answer. So I just go, are you. Let me know your cuz. I told her, I asked, let me know if she's home safe. Are you? Let me know you're home safe. She goes, it started five minutes ago.
Bobby Kelly
Started 12.
Jay Oakerson
15. Yeah, 12.
Bobby Kelly
Jay Z didn't get on stage till 12 to 15. It's supposed to start at 8:30 day. One group of people rush the gates. So they shut it all down and there was.
Jay Oakerson
Whoa.
Bobby Kelly
There was 10,000 people that were waiting outside.
Jay Oakerson
Isabella. Isabella said. She goes. It was. They said it was security breach.
Bobby Kelly
Yep.
Jay Oakerson
They said. So they just had to be outside and like. But like one of chest to chest with people.
Bobby Kelly
Chest to chest. And they let people in one at a time. So it took hours.
Jay Oakerson
Is that what it was? They just did a single file ultimately.
Bobby Kelly
Yep. And then. And Jay Z was like. He went on. He was like, look, I'm sorry, but we had to make sure these 10,000 people. Some people wound up having to leave and they lost out on thousands of dollars. You can't get your ticket back.
Jay Oakerson
Absolutely. People had to leave. You're like, I can't. You know, it's like some people have to be like, I'm going this concert and I have to leave for work at 5 in the morning, you know, to leave.
Ryan Reynolds
She was there.
Jay Oakerson
Oh, Carla was there.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah. She had to leave before it went on because she had the babysitter. Like, she had to go.
Jay Oakerson
No. Oh, I didn't even know Carla.
Ryan Reynolds
They went on. I mean, the concert went till 3am Isabella stayed.
Jay Oakerson
She don't give a.
Ryan Reynolds
Well brought out. Like Rihanna.
Jay Oakerson
Isabelle is so ghetto.
Bobby Kelly
Why can't. It's so ridiculous that they can't figure that out. How do you know it's Jay Z, first of all?
Jay Oakerson
I mean, it's just. With me, we've gone to like, venues recently in your life. I mean, observe the process.
Bobby Kelly
It's flawless. What do Every place we've ever gone.
Jay Oakerson
You're kidding.
Bobby Kelly
Dude, we went to Giant Stadium. Bang. Right in.
Jay Oakerson
No, no, no. I'm not saying flaw, but I'm saying, like, I'm not talking about it going good because it happens to go good. I'm talking about the people doing this.
Bobby Kelly
Oh, they're the morons.
Jay Oakerson
They're awful. I said before the difference. I've always found this to be an interesting thing. If the people that came over when people. People are sheep. So when they go. We're going to the box office, you know, or the. The ticket things. If there's 12 lines, some, for some reason, people get in three and they just make three huge. Because they don't want to get in the very first one. Even Though there's ones that. Then somebody comes out and they always go, guys, there's other lines over here. Stop waiting. There's lines over when. It's like if they came over and if you're the hero, if you go over and you go, guys, everybody. There's nobody in these lines over. You can get in faster.
Bobby Kelly
Everybody can get in.
Jay Oakerson
There's the energy of that being different, but the energy is like. I mean, I had a thing when we went to go see. What was it at Barclays Center? It. Was it Nine Inch Nails or something? It was a Nine Inch Nails. I mean, this lady was. They go, I had. Weed's legal. I had weed in my. I just brought joints in my cigarette package. And they opened my cigarette package and they go, you can't bring weed in here. They go, I'm gonna. We're taking that and the cigarettes because you can't bring anything in like that.
Ryan Reynolds
You smoke lighters.
Jay Oakerson
And my lighters, they go. And they just. And I see them taking. They just throw it in a bin. I go, no, no, no, I didn't even go in yet. I go, no, no, no, give it back to me. I'll go put it in my car. My car's right around the corner. It's fine. Not arguing, not complaining. They go, now it's confiscated. And I go, what? I go, why? I go, you can't bring lighters and stuff. I go, I know, but I could bring it back to my. Fuck you out of your fucking. And then they started calling other people over. And this dumb bitch was so dumb that her own co workers who were equally dumb bitches had to go, like, I think he can just give him back his stuff if he's going to take it out of the building. That's a crazy. I go, you're robbing. You're literally robbing me if you don't give me my stuff back. Psycho.
Bobby Kelly
Because they get told one thing and they just. They go. They can just do that one thing.
Jay Oakerson
It's. They've been reprimanded because they suck at their job, and now they're just shitty.
Bobby Kelly
I just have to take people's stuff and they can't think through it as a human or a smart person.
Jay Oakerson
Now, this Barkley center, particularly, and my
Bobby Kelly
daughter works there, once these people get power, it's like tsa. We were coming back from Austin, and the one dude, I don't know, I did something I kind of complained about. I bitched.
Jay Oakerson
I just did a. I may have said this. This would be easy. To get a bomb through here.
Bobby Kelly
Not what I said.
Jay Oakerson
I may have said that I made a.
Bobby Kelly
And he got twaty with me and then let me know who was boss. He was like, you got to take your shoes off. I go, but I have tsa. Yeah, but you still. You have to take them off. And I was like, why? But if I say why and then I go down that route, he'll make. He'll. He can make everything miserable.
Jay Oakerson
I don't know at that point that I would have absolutely just told my ticket. I said, I'm TSA PreCheck. I don't have to do that, actually.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah, that's what I said. And he goes, yeah, what do you do? And I was like, all right, you're just the boss right now. I'm going to get through here, and then I'm going to fucking hope. I'm going to pray that your mother dies of cancer, and I hope it happens.
Jay Oakerson
What was he?
Bobby Kelly
Black, white, Pollock, Hispanic, white dude, mustache, hipster Fucking loser. Had power, used it.
Jay Oakerson
You should have said a lot of how they say anti LGBTQ things.
Bobby Kelly
I think that's why he was mad at me. I think I did say something anti lgbtq, not anti. I think I was calling my luggage some. A name.
Jay Oakerson
That's a good one. Your luggage.
Bobby Kelly
The worst thing you could do is give a dumb person power. Give them power over people. You were fucked. You fucked.
Jay Oakerson
Oh, they love it.
Bobby Kelly
They love it, and they don't know how to handle it.
Jay Oakerson
TSA's call me a couple times. There was a guy who I would say is definitely mentally challenged, but, like, shitty. Like, a shitty personality. And when I went up to him, I just handing my passport as you hand to him, like, he took it out of my. Oh, take that. He kind of looked it over, like, the thing, and I was like, am I in trouble for checking into the line? You know? And he was like, no. And then that was like. That was one of the days. I did realize, though, at some point the TSA is so helpless, vulnerable, sort of useless in so many ways, that when I. When you get at your wit's end, especially if you're at the front of the thing, like, and you bitch enough, like, you kind of will get through your thing. Not like a major cut in line or something. You might get arrested or something like that. But I'm talking about when they go, you know, it's like, show your passport to that guy over there. He goes, I showed it over here. I'm just going in this line. He goes, this one's too full. Now. You got to go back in that line and then do it again. I was like, I'm just not doing that. Like, you've already checked my passport. You're doing it. I'm just staying in line. Then they just eventually kind of. Well, I'm not doing anything illegal. Like, they just decided I was the one that they're going to send back into line, like the back of it, to go a different way. I go, you just out of your mind. I've already been checked in, so I go. I'm getting in the line. You go, but the line's too long ago. I go, well, it's one longer.
Bobby Kelly
But I. I don't have the ability to do that because I. I really. I don't have. No, because I'll.
Jay Oakerson
You're the mayor.
Bobby Kelly
I. I can be the mayor at a restaurant in a fun place when in the. In the. A place where I get arrested, I get fucked up because I. I don't want to. I'll be there.
Jay Oakerson
I'm gonna start screaming anarchy.
Bobby Kelly
No, I can't. I don't. I. I was. But some place.
Jay Oakerson
Tsa. I'm gonna offer to kiss the officer. I'm gonna go. I'm. I'm a Joe. What's it, Joe Namath?
Bobby Kelly
I don't.
Jay Oakerson
I don't care about this. Can I kiss you? I just want to kiss you.
Bobby Kelly
Some tsa, though, like, New York TSA don't give a. You can walk through with a knife, they don't give a fuck. But you go to, like, Austin, they're very militant. They take the job very serious. They're. They're very.
Jay Oakerson
I'm more about fucking with the gate. Like, the. Not the gate agents, but the people where you check your bags and stuff like that. That's the ones where, like, oh, my God. They gotta. I'm very pleasant with them always. But if the TSA is, like, shitty for no reason, like, how fast I'll be. The worst thing is getting shitty and snappy and then somebody recognizing you, and that's the worst feeling in the fucking world. I've had that happen, buddy. The one when we. I think I told us recently on the show, but when we went with Dave Smith to see the Tonya Harding movie, and there was a black couple sitting in our seats, and we were just kind of like, hey, these are our seats. And then as they were moving, they were, like, being shitty, which made me get shitty, which made a whole thing go down. And then they eventually moved the. But we Sat there. And I was like, yeah, I'm not. Like, this movie's over for me. Like, my whole movie is gonna be staring at the back of that guy's head, waiting for him to do something else so I can do something else. And so I was like, we're going. And I went out there, I was like, hey, if you guys aren't throwing them out for being the problem, like, we're just gonna go. And they're like, oh, we don't have to do that. I'm like, yeah, this is suck. And I'm kind of like, you know, you're a fucking idiot, and you're a fucking idiot. And I'm going. And I go. And I'm going back. And I want my money back for the concessions. Cause we're not eating any of this shit or drinking any of it. And I go over and I hand the fucking popcorn to him by the concession stands. And he's. He pours the popcorn down, like, into the trash and takes the drinks and pours them down the drain. And as he's giving me back my money, he goes. He goes, see, I'm a really big fan. And I'm sitting here doing like, I want my popcorn money back. Big J of you.
Bobby Kelly
You know Alobel. Remember Alobel?
Jay Oakerson
Of course.
Bobby Kelly
I was in. I was in the rent a car place on 49th Street I used to go to when I had to get a car. And it was a line. It was crazy. And those rent a car places, just like, we have no more cars. It's like, yeah, but I have a reservation. I have a reservation for a car. I have the exact car I'm supposed to get when we ran out.
Jay Oakerson
In New York, they just make a prediction that you. At one point, the sentence comes out of your house, comes out your mouth. Well, then what's the fucking point of making a reservation?
Bobby Kelly
Well, that's. I was quietly sitting in the line, and Alo Bell comes in on a bike, parks his bike. It comes in and does exactly that. He's like, I have a. I had a. Is the car here? Why would you make a reservation if you're not gonna flips the fuck out?
Jay Oakerson
Anybody ask him what was he gonna do with his bike when he got the car?
Bobby Kelly
I think he was gonna park it out front.
Jay Oakerson
Now you guys have my bike and I have your car.
Bobby Kelly
He flips out, dude, and he goes nuts. And I'm just sitting there laughing. Nuts. And then he goes out, and this
Jay Oakerson
is crazy hair, crazy hair.
Bobby Kelly
Aloe Bell goes nuts. Flips out on the guy, leaves I'm just laughing to myself. Then sticks his head back in and goes, hey, Bobby, how are you? Good to see you. I'm sorry about that. I think at the last second he saw me.
Jay Oakerson
Sorry about that.
Bobby Kelly
I was like, what's up, Al? And then I got my car.
Jay Oakerson
I may have looked like a real jerk off back there. Anytime I said, if you're arguing with anybody in the street over something and that person has no idea who you are and then you get recognized, you're just kind of like, I'm kind of yo something right now, man. I love you too, dude. I love you. But this motherfucker here is fucking questioning my goddamn fucking passport.
Bobby Kelly
You know we're not gonna get recognized. Those stupid hot dog carts. Nobody we know. Fucking no fans of ours are doing hot hot dogs.
Jay Oakerson
No.
Bobby Kelly
God damn.
Jay Oakerson
You couldn't be more right about that. Bobby's very upset by those hot dogs.
Bobby Kelly
I don't know, I just don't like it. I don't like the. The, the fucking attitude.
Jay Oakerson
Well, you know something? We have our guests come in. Something I want to show you. Just made me laugh. Long time on the show since I brought like a predator hunter thing. But I just was catching a few this morning.
Ad Voice
Yeah.
Jay Oakerson
Watching some videos and they just caught Skeeter Jean is big tall black dude who catches people and he talks to him kind of smarmy and shitty, but he catches a big fat sleeveless, shirted, just pud of a guy. And just when he starts talking about his weight, it made me laugh really hard. I'd like to share it.
Bobby Kelly
Has it ever been a well dressed pedophile? Has there any guy like that? Guy doesn't need to fuck kids. This guy could get pussy.
Jay Oakerson
Anthony Kumier,
Bobby Kelly
he was well dressed. He dressed like a fucking grunge rock
Jay Oakerson
girl from the 90s. Nice button down shirts.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah, he never dressed well.
Jay Oakerson
I think Kumi's not a pedophile to my understanding.
Bobby Kelly
No, he's not. He did a young girls. Yes, young girls.
Ryan Reynolds
This one.
Jay Oakerson
No, no, no. Just looking. Oh, yes, yes it is. I'm sorry, I apologize. And it's 20 minutes in as we get. But hold that on until later before our black guest comes in. I don't want them to laugh at me too. Too hard.
Bobby Kelly
Well, no, no.
Jay Oakerson
What?
Bobby Kelly
Oh, the thing that you wrote. You don't want to watch that. You want to wait, we can wait. We just watch this.
Jay Oakerson
No, no, no, no.
Bobby Kelly
I.
Jay Oakerson
Look, Bobby, can I tell you what I'm good at? By the Way.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah.
Jay Oakerson
Now, you know, I have a way. I have a way in, like, a history. Just a couple of my black friends coming in here. We could chop it up all day, and I could make sure we never get to what you want to make fun of before. So you got to make fun of me by yourself while everybody on the crew laughs at me, or it's not going to happen today.
Bobby Kelly
But, you know, I have a good technique, too, of getting you to focus in on what you need to focus in on.
Jay Oakerson
No, no, no. But I'm good at taking that and spinning the words and flipping it right back.
Bobby Kelly
Dude, you're magical at it. But I'm also good at realizing I can snap out of the J trance that you put us all into and snap out of it and go, no, no, no, no, no. Let's get back to it.
Jay Oakerson
I could just. We could just wait for Tim Butterly comes in tomorrow. Maybe he's fun to do it with, but we could also revisit it.
Bobby Kelly
No, because Tim's gonna. Tim is too. He's. He has too much empathy. He would be like, no, that's. I don't mind that.
Jay Oakerson
He's a nice boy.
Bobby Kelly
He's a really nice. I need a. I need a mean. I need as mean as you can get.
Ryan Reynolds
We need to. Rosa.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah. Oh, God damn it.
Ryan Reynolds
We need Derosa.
Bobby Kelly
I was trashing Derosa last week about him not calling me while I was in Austin. I gotta take it back, because I guess we did talk, and I told him I would call him.
Jay Oakerson
Holy.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah, it was me.
Ryan Reynolds
That's so funny.
Bobby Kelly
I called him up. I was like, dude, what the man? He goes, we talked. And I go, what are you talking about? We talked on the phone the day you got here, and you said that you were your family tonight, and we'd maybe go to breakfast to go to lunch during the week that we. I'd see the family. I wanted to see Donna, Max. I go, we talked. He goes, yeah, we had a whole conversation. And then it started tumbling back. I was like, oh, yeah, we did talk. You blew off Joe. I blew Joe. Joseph off.
Jay Oakerson
Joe's got to be more rememberable.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah, he's not.
Jay Oakerson
Turns out.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah, it's. It's. I feel bad. I was really mad at him, too. Like, he just blew me off. But he. I just never called him back. I never called him back. We had a whole conversation about hooking up for breakfast, and I didn't call him back. So Joe Derosa's in the clear. That's me. Why are you blacking out, Bob? Wow. As a blackout artist myself, I'm just curious.
Jay Oakerson
What's a good question? Why are you black?
Bobby Kelly
Well, you blacked out because you drank. Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
Going through an aneurysm.
Jay Oakerson
The pain of life.
Ryan Reynolds
True, true.
Bobby Kelly
It's not that I blacked out. A lot was going on, I think.
Jay Oakerson
Oh, yeah, you're in the old west, not swimming.
Ryan Reynolds
But you getting mad at him for
Bobby Kelly
not reaching out to you. I mean, real bizarre part. Let's be honest. Let's be honest. He could have called me back. He could have been like, hey, we going or not? He could have reached back out and said, hey, you never called me back.
Jay Oakerson
You're right. Neither of you really wanted to see each other, but both of you want to blame the other one for the reason it happened. Yeah, I get that. You could have started with that, and I'd have been like, I understand where both of you are coming from. I know you do, but you started with like, and I want to see my friend Joe, and he didn't even want to see the family and stuff like that. But when you both admit you were both kind of hoping it was like, dude, dealing with the one, it's like, I got a lot going on. By the way, if you weren't there with dawn and Max, you probably would have been more inspired to really want to see Joe 100%, and he may have been way more inspired to want to come see you.
Bobby Kelly
Why you think he didn't want to see me because I was with my family?
Jay Oakerson
I think there's a chance he didn't want to see your family at all.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah, Joe hates.
Jay Oakerson
He just wanted to hang out with families. Of course.
Bobby Kelly
Why does he. He says he loves families. They're going to say something
Jay Oakerson
that could be the reason to give him up.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah, he got stuck. Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
He got so many issues.
Jay Oakerson
Nobody loved him as a kid.
Bobby Kelly
So he hates kids, you know, and. And the parents he does have can't. They can't really love him fully.
Jay Oakerson
Well, he makes it hard for them, dude. The way I would talk to his mom when we lived together, it used to make me laugh. I mean, it was cringy, but it made me laugh. He just yelled at his parents. It was such that relationship.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah.
Jay Oakerson
I just never had, by the way, a lot of people have that. Just like a family of yelling people all the time. Like, I just didn't grow up like that. So, like, that was fucking. That was wildly.
Bobby Kelly
I used to. I used to. Me and my mom used to get into big fights, like, that until like, I think 15 years ago. Yeah, really big fights. I was. I remember where it happened. I was at Comic Roadhouse on that balcony out by the pool, having a full fledged screaming match argument.
Ryan Reynolds
My.
Bobby Kelly
My mom. And then at one point she leaned into the. She leaned into the phone and whispered, bobby, when are you going to realize I'm never going to change?
Jay Oakerson
Jesus.
Bobby Kelly
And my bone shook. I went, oh, God, what a profound
Jay Oakerson
moment to have at a casino.
Bobby Kelly
We haven't, we haven't fought since. I was like, here, you. I was like, that's you. You're never going to change. Now she does her bullshit and I just go, I got to go. I got to leave.
Jay Oakerson
I'm out of here.
Bobby Kelly
You're never going to change.
Jay Oakerson
She's never going to change.
Bobby Kelly
She's going to change, man.
Commercial Announcer
Hang on.
Jay Oakerson
Time to do up.
Ryan Reynolds
Oh, I've had a family screaming match in a while.
Jay Oakerson
My juju's.
Ryan Reynolds
I haven't had a family scream a long time, but there's definitely a lot of screaming in my family.
Bobby Kelly
Not me. It was usually me and my mom.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah, me. A lot of mine was me and my mom.
Jay Oakerson
But, yeah, I think I have a very passive family.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah, you do.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah.
Jay Oakerson
I feel like everyone's just kind of like, people make mistakes, man. What are we going to do here? Scream all night?
Bobby Kelly
Not my.
Commercial Announcer
I had.
Ryan Reynolds
I was with a friend once and we were on our way back from visiting his mom up north and she called him and he was on the bus and the way he was talking to her and he was like, got mom. I said, like, I was so embarrassed to be next to him and to like, be with a grown man that talked to his mom that way. I was like trying to duck down in my seat.
Bobby Kelly
I don't think I have a theory.
Jay Oakerson
I'll punch my mom right in her stomach.
Bobby Kelly
That my.
Ryan Reynolds
Oh, my God, you love your mom so much.
Jay Oakerson
You love your mom's boy.
Ryan Reynolds
You're a little.
Bobby Kelly
I bet you when you go home, your mom rubs your stomach.
Jay Oakerson
I'm not a mama's boy.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah, you are.
Jay Oakerson
My mom's a Jay's mom.
Bobby Kelly
Little JJ, she's a JJ's mom.
Ryan Reynolds
Love JJ the most.
Jay Oakerson
I'm by far my most loved sibling by everybody, including my stepfather, who is not my biological father and is all of the other ones biological.
Bobby Kelly
Everybody loves you. My theory is this, that my mother had my sister when she was 15, me when she was 18. So we were never really, you know, not that we weren't wanted. We weren't wanted. Like she didn't want to have us. We weren't expecting.
Jay Oakerson
I understand.
Bobby Kelly
We were mistakes, right?
Jay Oakerson
Yes.
Bobby Kelly
And then she got married again.
Ryan Reynolds
Accidents.
Bobby Kelly
Accidents that. Back then, Irish Catholic, you had to.
Jay Oakerson
Just big little slimy loads that snuck past the goalie, right? Me and my sis, just slimy loads. Nobody, just like a piece of.
Bobby Kelly
Nobody wanted my sister more than me, but.
Jay Oakerson
Yes, your mom more of your sister.
Bobby Kelly
But you, she was 15.
Jay Oakerson
She just thought you were both just pieces of.
Bobby Kelly
Just pains and just pieces of shit
Jay Oakerson
she wanted to just flush down.
Commercial Announcer
I would say.
Bobby Kelly
I would say life ruiners.
Jay Oakerson
Scummy little.
Bobby Kelly
And my mom was hot, too. Like, we sucked, you know, it was like.
Ryan Reynolds
Did your dad just bang your mom all through high school and then leave?
Bobby Kelly
No, my dad went to Vietnam and he came back from Vietnam and I think. I think this is a weird thing.
Jay Oakerson
Before you cry for him, he was a tap dancer for the uso.
Ryan Reynolds
No. Well, she was in high school.
Bobby Kelly
He was not a tap dancer.
Jay Oakerson
Yes, he was. 5, 6, 7, 8. Time for the Robert Kelly the First Show.
Bobby Kelly
The boys are coming back. The boys are coming back.
Jay Oakerson
Look out, Charlie's behind you.
Bobby Kelly
He was actually. He shot the cannons. You know, the big cannons? The big.
Jay Oakerson
The Revolutionary War.
Bobby Kelly
50 millimeter. Well, that. Back in the Vietnam. But they still had cannons. They would mount up and shoot them.
Jay Oakerson
What?
Bobby Kelly
Yeah, it was a can, like 50, 30 millimeter cannon shooter.
Ad Voice
Whatever the.
Bobby Kelly
It was.
Jay Oakerson
Christine, look up. There was cannons in Vietnam. I don't think there was cannons of Vietnam war. Yeah, don't call. That's a tank. That's a cannon on a tank.
Bobby Kelly
I mean, that's not what he means, right?
Jay Oakerson
It's not what he means.
Ryan Reynolds
You mean like that?
Jay Oakerson
Like a cannonball? Like Captain Jack Sparrow?
Ryan Reynolds
Like this?
Bobby Kelly
No.
Jay Oakerson
Yes.
Bobby Kelly
No, no, no, no.
Jay Oakerson
A revolutionary cannon.
Bobby Kelly
That's not what I'm talking about. Go back. Go back to the right. Right there. Right there. Yeah, those things. Yeah. You shot those. Yeah, those big cannons. What are they called?
Ryan Reynolds
The M101?
Bobby Kelly
Yeah, that's.
Jay Oakerson
What does it say? Canon?
Ad Voice
It's.
Bobby Kelly
Damn it.
Jay Oakerson
It does look a canon.
Bobby Kelly
It's an Update.
Ryan Reynolds
It's a 54 pound projectile.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah, dude, it was explosive. Pretty crazy.
Jay Oakerson
Yeah. Christine's a size queen.
Bobby Kelly
We all are. Now.
Jay Oakerson
They like my missile small.
Ryan Reynolds
No, you're a size queen for.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah, you're a size queen. You like a big dick.
Jay Oakerson
If we're talking artillery. Artillery. I like small.
Bobby Kelly
The only dicks we look at on the show are big black dicks.
Jay Oakerson
We're not black always.
Bobby Kelly
We've never Looked at little. We never. Regular dicks.
Jay Oakerson
I've marveled at huge dicks. Of all.
Bobby Kelly
You love big dicks.
Jay Oakerson
I like to look at them.
Bobby Kelly
You love them.
Jay Oakerson
You love them or smell them?
Bobby Kelly
You don't know that because you've never been. If they were in the studio, you would.
Jay Oakerson
No, dude. No way. Smell it.
Bobby Kelly
You're a big dick smeller. You're a big. You're not gonna smell a little dick, dude.
Jay Oakerson
I like looking at him. I hate to smell a dick, dude. It's like cigars. Looks cool to do, but I hate the smell.
Bobby Kelly
But my theory is, is that then she got married to the right, who nobody liked. But then she met Larry, who she loved. She fell in love with Larry. They had a great relationship. They had a daughter. And then a few years later, just like me and my sister had a daughter and then a son, Kara and Andrew. And she had them wanting to have babies, right? And then she had this family that she wanted. The family that she. Me and my sister were the family that happened. So we were kind of. Of course, with her son and daughter. But I don't. And it kind of hit me. We're at a wedding. We're at my niece's wedding, and we were taking the photo, and I was next to my mom, and my brother Andrew was there. And she went, oh, no, no, no. Wait, wait, wait. And she moved me over and put Andrew next to her. And my wife looked at me like, what the fuck?
Jay Oakerson
And I was like, dude, you and your sister are flowers in the attic.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah, Jay's stepmom, just straight.
Jay Oakerson
I'm surprised your grandmother. I'm surprised your grandmother didn't try to poison you with arsenic.
Bobby Kelly
My grandma was my mom. My grandma. I used to call my grandma to Ma because she. I would go to her for everything. She was the best. Yeah, me and my. Oh, my grandma, the dude, she was awesome.
Jay Oakerson
Taught you about sex?
Bobby Kelly
No, we didn't try. Nobody taught me about sex. I learned on my own. Like a wild wolf when you were
Jay Oakerson
11 because your grandmother molested you.
Bobby Kelly
She didn't. Nobody, dude, how. Don't talk about manana.
Jay Oakerson
Like, I didn't. I said grandma. That's a different lady. That's fictitious. Lady. I'm talking about.
Bobby Kelly
Don't talk about Nana.
Jay Oakerson
Like, Nana wouldn't have done that. But grandma, one time you woke up and grandma had your whole dick and balls in her mouth.
Bobby Kelly
I'm gonna throw up. Don't even do that. That's not Nana I don't want.
Jay Oakerson
It's fictitious grandma.
Bobby Kelly
I don't like fictitious grandmas. Don't bring up the grandmother.
Jay Oakerson
But she's fake.
Bobby Kelly
I don't like it.
Jay Oakerson
She's fake.
Bobby Kelly
No, because I think of my grandmother's face.
Jay Oakerson
Don't though, baby.
Bobby Kelly
You got me thinking about it.
Jay Oakerson
Think of her friend that she used to play cards with. Just shoving her face up your ass, balls in her. Yes.
Bobby Kelly
Okay, that's fine.
Jay Oakerson
Mrs. Robinson. Edna from across the street.
Bobby Kelly
Mrs. Finity.
Jay Oakerson
Man, my grandmother didn't have any hot friends. You know what? I'll just say it. My grandmother had no hot friends. Sorry if you're out there listening. Aunt Anita, I love you, but I never thought you were hot.
Ryan Reynolds
Wait, so your dad comes home, he's like 22. He finds your 15 year old mom, knocks her 18 at the time. 18?
Bobby Kelly
No, they come home from. They know that they hooked up with Lisa, then they were together. And then at 18, he went. He had me. And then before I was born, he left for Vietnam. So he was in Vietnam while I was born. He came back and I think. This is weird. I always thought my father came back up from Vietnam, which he was. He was drinking like cough syrup. He'd have like a case of cough syrup in his. That's what he was drinking. Because that was like really bad drugs.
Jay Oakerson
Like, it relaxes your asshole. And it was the only way I could fall asleep after a big USO show. Those boys get randy.
Bobby Kelly
He shot cannons.
Jay Oakerson
Huh?
Bobby Kelly
He shot cannons.
Jay Oakerson
Yeah, I bet he did.
Bobby Kelly
I don't like. I don't like that. You mean my grandmother moles me and my father's a gay dandy singer?
Jay Oakerson
Not your nana. Your fictitious grandmother molested the. Out of you.
Bobby Kelly
I can. I can say 100%, my grand.
Jay Oakerson
And then your grandfather.
Commercial Announcer
Your.
Jay Oakerson
Your grandfather. Your grandfather was a gay tap dancer.
Bobby Kelly
My grandfather molested me.
Jay Oakerson
Yeah. Yeah.
Bobby Kelly
No, I'm kidding.
Jay Oakerson
Well, he came home all up, dude. He got molested in the war.
Bobby Kelly
He was in World War II.
Jay Oakerson
No.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah.
Jay Oakerson
He went freeing Jews.
Bobby Kelly
But I think when my father came home, I always thought that he came home up and was too fucked up. And that's why they got a divorce. I think my mom cheated on him. I think he came home and found her with, you know, somebody else. Somebody adds it.
Jay Oakerson
I'll be honest with you.
Bobby Kelly
It does. It did.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah.
Jay Oakerson
Especially the way I like to asmr myself to sleep masturbating to your voice.
Bobby Kelly
So I think when she. When he came home. This is so weird when you get his side of the story and you get my mom's Side two. Different.
Jay Oakerson
First, do me a favor. When you play. Can you play this video that we found of Bobby's father while he talks about what his dad said. You wouldn't mind turning this up.
Bobby Kelly
That's Fred Astaire. That's not my dad.
Jay Oakerson
Now ball. He'll step.
Bobby Kelly
Dude, dude, dude, dude.
Ryan Reynolds
I mean, if your grandpa could dance like Fred Astaire.
Jay Oakerson
You know what, dude? Come on boys. Keep the morale up.
Bobby Kelly
I hate tap dancing so much.
Jay Oakerson
Let's kill these.
Ryan Reynolds
I wish I could do it.
Bobby Kelly
You can't. Anybody can tap.
Ryan Reynolds
It's hard.
Commercial Announcer
It's not.
Bobby Kelly
Just put coat. Can't coat.
Jay Oakerson
That's right, boys. Remember what you're fighting for out here.
Bobby Kelly
This is so funny. Back in the day when men could wear onesies.
Ryan Reynolds
No, that's just high waisted pants.
Bobby Kelly
Is that a high waisted pant? Oh gosh.
Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Bobby Kelly
That outfit is ridiculous.
Ryan Reynolds
I mean this dance isn't very good.
Bobby Kelly
I bet Jacob would love that outfit. Just a light blue high waisted pants.
Jay Oakerson
Jacob has wants to be a dandy.
Bobby Kelly
He does. Is this petting in the park? Please don't pay it because this is what. Please don't play. Colin Quinn sends me videos every day of this horseshit.
Jay Oakerson
Why?
Bobby Kelly
Because he. Because it aggravates me and he likes to dagger.
Jay Oakerson
How did you know what this video was?
Ryan Reynolds
Because of Colin.
Bobby Kelly
He sends it to me all the time.
Jay Oakerson
But why did you bring it up out of nowhere?
Ryan Reynolds
And then I just put Fred Astaire tap to try to find a better tap dance video.
Jay Oakerson
You watch Fred Astaire?
Bobby Kelly
I don't watch. Are you listening to me?
Jay Oakerson
We need young energy in this.
Bobby Kelly
Goddamn.
Jay Oakerson
It's killing me.
Bobby Kelly
As you pull up your fucking jorts.
Jay Oakerson
That's young energy.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah, in 1982.
Jay Oakerson
It is not back in jorts are back in big.
Ryan Reynolds
Jorts are huge for girls right now.
Jay Oakerson
Where in America.
Bobby Kelly
There's no fu. I've never seen anybody but you wear jorts for the last 10 years.
Jay Oakerson
What? Yeah, now they're back.
Bobby Kelly
They're not back.
Jay Oakerson
Yeah, they're back Big.
Bobby Kelly
They're not back big. They're back.
Jay Oakerson
That's. How dare you. That's not true.
Bobby Kelly
That is truly. Fat people wear jorts.
Jay Oakerson
Ouch. Me two shows. Me and Bobby call each other fat today. Now we're off next week. We have to regroup and lose weight. Come back.
Bobby Kelly
Yours was unnecessary and unwarranted.
Jay Oakerson
Look at that. Jorts. Dude.
Bobby Kelly
That is a. Those aren't jorts.
Jay Oakerson
Yes they are.
Ryan Reynolds
Those are 1,000% shorts.
Jay Oakerson
What?
Bobby Kelly
The ones on the right?
Jay Oakerson
Yes.
Bobby Kelly
No, those aren't in. They're not in.
Ryan Reynolds
Buddy, I'm telling you, these young girls, I mean, it's ugly.
Bobby Kelly
Which they shouldn't be wearing. Which outfit would you choose from? 2016 or 2026?
Jay Oakerson
The 26 is the jorts.
Ryan Reynolds
26 is shorts.
Bobby Kelly
Is the jorts.
Jay Oakerson
Yes. They're back.
Bobby Kelly
Oh, God forbid.
Jay Oakerson
You know, I keep my finger on the pulse of fashion. It's like my third thing.
Bobby Kelly
You can you keep your finger on the false pulse of 19 fashions?
Ryan Reynolds
Here's the thing.
Jay Oakerson
So many fashions you have. Like, what if Papa Roach met Limp Bizkit and then high fived Mark McGuire?
Ryan Reynolds
Also, this is not a vintage trend. These were never in style for women. This is this generation going rogue and trying to do something different.
Bobby Kelly
But women, not men. Men that were.
Jay Oakerson
Oh, Buddy, welcome to 2026. People don't see the world like that anymore. It's everybody's.
Bobby Kelly
Men aren't wearing jorts?
Ryan Reynolds
No.
Jay Oakerson
You're looking at one, my friend.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah, dude, you've been wearing them for fucking since I met you.
Jay Oakerson
Since way before you met me.
Bobby Kelly
You've been wearing jorts that long?
Jay Oakerson
Yes.
Bobby Kelly
Why?
Jay Oakerson
Because Wu Tang did. Because Wu Tang did also.
Ryan Reynolds
Bobby, see what you let him do.
Bobby Kelly
What?
Ryan Reynolds
Shh.
Bobby Kelly
What'd I let him do?
Jay Oakerson
Nothing, dude.
Ryan Reynolds
I don't know. I thought he was gonna read something.
Jay Oakerson
George. Dude, look at that.
Bobby Kelly
He did it. He did do it.
Jay Oakerson
Jorts.
Bobby Kelly
He did do it. Hey, Jay, what's up?
Jay Oakerson
Hey, bud.
Bobby Kelly
So let's get back to the. The subject at hand. You really are good.
Jay Oakerson
Jorts are the subject at hand. Do you know what the subject at hand means? It means what we're talking about.
Bobby Kelly
Listen, I know what the subject at hand me this.
Jay Oakerson
That's jorts.
Bobby Kelly
No, we were talking about.
Jay Oakerson
So we're walking away from jorts Before
Bobby Kelly
I proved we're walking away from jo, which we're walking back to you and you have another. I would call it an incident.
Jay Oakerson
No.
Bobby Kelly
Incident on a DM where you over DM somebody again, it's an understatement.
Jay Oakerson
Over DM'd might be an understatement.
Bobby Kelly
Understatement.
Jay Oakerson
It was going great for a minute. Yeah, it was going great for a minute.
Bobby Kelly
Was it a little back and forth? Like it was gray and blue, gray and blue.
Jay Oakerson
But even sizes was upon first meeting seeing each other somewhere. I stopped him to say. I was just saying great. I already knew who they were. I liked them a lot. But I was just going to say, great show that Ban the War on drugs.

Nope.
Jay Oakerson
Well, where was this Bonnaroo?
Bobby Kelly
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is that the one where you guys have. You and Ari came up, you go, I'm gonna do mushrooms and walk into a hundred thousand people?
Jay Oakerson
Yeah, it didn't matter. I threw them up immediately. So I was never on mushrooms.
Bobby Kelly
You took out a bag of mushrooms that look like Ari did. It was. It was the big giant Ziploc bag. It looked like a salad.
Ryan Reynolds
More definitely were on mushrooms.
Jay Oakerson
No, I didn't have mushrooms. Hit me hard at all that night in any way? Nope, I threw them up. And then I may have said I was taking more, but I was not going to get them back.

Ryan Reynolds

I was doing. I was doing FX stuff at that time for sex, Drugs too, still. So I was. I was with. Yeah, but I was with Larry and the cast, and we were doing like, a screening of the show and we were doing a Q and A, and I was kind of being shipped with them back and forth. And then for that one, that show I did, they shipped me in, but then they shipped me right back after the show.
Jay Oakerson
Yuck.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah, I was.
Jay Oakerson
Why would you have not wanted to do Is Earth, Wind and Fire, Slayer and Bonnaroo?
Ryan Reynolds
I don't know, like the best Slayer show ever.
Bobby Kelly
You know, when you're fucking not. When you're with another group and you're there on there. I was there on their dime, like
Jay Oakerson
21 pilots was there. We didn't even know that.
Ryan Reynolds
I don't think we knew who they were at the time.
Jay Oakerson
Probably not.
Bobby Kelly
I have. I have that posted, by the way.
Jay Oakerson
Yeah. Why? You weren't even watching any of the stuff.
Bobby Kelly
I think I was on one of them.
Jay Oakerson
You weren't that one.
Bobby Kelly
I was on the poster.
Ryan Reynolds
I have a poster.
Jay Oakerson
All on the posters. We did the comedy.
Bobby Kelly

Ryan Reynolds
Sorry.
Jay Oakerson
You probably can't tell I'm joking because you're wearing sunglasses.
Bobby Kelly
Dude. It's not the sunglasses. It's not. Has nothing to do with it.
Jay Oakerson
I like blaming that, though.
Bobby Kelly
I know you do. And it gets into my head, and I took him off.
Jay Oakerson
Anywho, you did it again. I'm showing you the war on drugs.
Bobby Kelly
We're done with this. We're done with the warning. We get it. We got the we. Manager's walking out. Now he's leaving.
Jay Oakerson
Nice music.
Bobby Kelly
It's always. That's always a telling tale when your manager's like, hey, I'm gonna take off for a minute.
Jay Oakerson
Did you just go over there to fart? What happened?
Bobby Kelly
He was leaving. Called out for.
Jay Oakerson
For leaving.
Bobby Kelly
Oh, he was about to leave.
Jay Oakerson
Oh, would you have to leave? Leave in a minute. Yeah. Damn. He doesn't want to. Do you not want to hear what I said to the lead singer of.
Bobby Kelly
I absolutely want to hear.
Jay Oakerson
I waited 45 minutes.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah.
Bobby Kelly
Can I just say something? That's. That's your client. That's the magic meeting about it tomorrow. Yeah. It's a magic of Jay. He will sidetrack 45 minutes. He sidetracked.
Jay Oakerson
Yeah. I'm good at it.
Bobby Kelly
You really are. So get to it.
Jay Oakerson
What?
Ryan Reynolds
Get.
Bobby Kelly
You know what?
Jay Oakerson
Oh, we got to take a commercial break.
Bobby Kelly
We have no. We have 40 minutes.
Jay Oakerson
Okay.
Commercial Announcer
Okay.
Bobby Kelly
So you started the. It started going well. You. He said, I know you, and you know him, and everything was great. And he gave. He wanted your number, and you gave each other your numbers, and then you started texting, and everything was fine. So let's go to the fine part. Let's go to the beginning of the text.
Jay Oakerson
Let's hear where it started.
Bobby Kelly
I want to hear where it started, how good it was going.
Jay Oakerson
Okay.
Bobby Kelly
Just a little.
Jay Oakerson
Pretty good.
Bobby Kelly
I want a little.
Jay Oakerson
A little reference to how bad it gets in 2015.
Bobby Kelly
Jesus.
Jay Oakerson
Right after this, I think.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah.
Jay Oakerson
It must have been June 13th. That's one of the days of Bonnaroo.
Ryan Reynolds
Yep.
Jay Oakerson
June 13th.
Bobby Kelly
You guys were texting at Bonnaroo.
Jay Oakerson
He texts first.
Bobby Kelly
He texts first. Wow.
Jay Oakerson
8:24pm after this.
Bobby Kelly
That's a great. After he performed, he texted you.
Jay Oakerson
We saw him.
Ryan Reynolds
That's Phil and Philly.
Jay Oakerson
Philly stuff. Yeah.
Bobby Kelly
You brought up Philly. You always bring up Philly.
Jay Oakerson
I try.
Bobby Kelly
You do?
Jay Oakerson
I try my best. It did not help with little Dicky.
Bobby Kelly
Well, no, he didn't.
Jay Oakerson
He did not take to me. He writes, let me know about shows, exclamation point.
Bobby Kelly
He used an exclamation dash. That's yours. Dash Adam.
Jay Oakerson
Dash Adam.
Bobby Kelly
That must have made you jump for joy.
Jay Oakerson
This is clearly. Now we're just letting each other know who for. So we have it in our phones. Cause I write back, big J Okerson, dash. Awesome meeting you. Will be in touch.
Bobby Kelly
You did a dash too.
Jay Oakerson
I also did a dash.
Bobby Kelly
You guys both had dashes. That must have made you feel good. It did feel good that he's a dasher.
Jay Oakerson
I'm like, oh, he's, like, expressive and text like I am. This guy gets me. All right. Less than one month later, I write, hey, Adam, I'm not even reading ahead of these. I'm just gonna go in for it. It's Jay Okerson, the comedian that you met at Bonnaroo. If you're back in New York City this coming Thursday or Friday, I have shows at two great clubs in the city.
Commercial Announcer
Ugh.
Jay Oakerson
Let me know and I'll get you all hooked up. It's my turn to entertain you. Happy face.
Bobby Kelly
I'm gonna throw up. You should. Why Happy face?
Jay Oakerson
I don't know.
Bobby Kelly
Why would you say it's my.
Jay Oakerson
I don't know how to talk to people? The answer's not gonna change it.
Ryan Reynolds
Parentheses.
Jay Oakerson
Yes. It's a colon in parentheses.
Bobby Kelly
You put a colon in the parentheses.
Jay Oakerson
That's how I do my smiley faces.
Bobby Kelly
Why an emoji?
Ryan Reynolds
Emoticon.
Jay Oakerson
Oh, emoticon.
Bobby Kelly
It's yours.
Jay Oakerson
What's the difference between those two?
Ryan Reynolds
The emoji is a cartoon.
Jay Oakerson
Show me the difference.
Bobby Kelly
What's an emoticon? Okay, I'll hung it up. Can I say something? Yeah. So an emoji is the actual little yellow smiley face.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah. Yeah.
Bobby Kelly
And emoticon is when you create it.
Ryan Reynolds
Yep. Emoticons. What we used to make.
Bobby Kelly
But you don't. You don't use them. You use emoticons.
Jay Oakerson
I do both. I do both. But I do both. What are some of the more popular ones? Smiley face, smiley face, smiley face, winky smiley face. You do a semicolon? Yeah, sometimes. Sometimes I put A nose. But on my smiley faces, I don't put a nose.
Bobby Kelly
How do you put a nose?
Ryan Reynolds
A dash.
Jay Oakerson
A dash.
Bobby Kelly
You put a dash.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah.
Bobby Kelly
And you learn this.
Jay Oakerson
Yeah. Well, I mean, I like this text with emotion. Before there were emoticons, you.
Bobby Kelly
So you. You create or.
Jay Oakerson
I'm sorry. Emojis.
Bobby Kelly
You created the emoji.
Jay Oakerson
The emoticon.
Bobby Kelly
You could. You. But you created through the emoticon emojis.
Jay Oakerson
Yeah. Don't you remember when you had to do, like, what was. Somehow you can get, like, a backwards three? No, no, no, no. It was.
Bobby Kelly
No, I don't remember any of that. I've never done these.
Ryan Reynolds
I said, I still send J. Kiss faces.
Jay Oakerson
What about the. Where's the you can make with like signs? I've never made that an equal signs.
Bobby Kelly
I've only done. I did the 1, 4, 3. Remember when 143 meant I love you? Of course I did that.
Jay Oakerson
That's beeper talk, though.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah. Because I'm Beeper Bob. I was. I was around with beepers.
Jay Oakerson
God, emoticons are crazy. Look at all the things you could do. Some people would get into that. Yeah. They knew how to make, like. Look at that. Crying faces. And it got crazy.
Bobby Kelly
Oh, you can make a dick.
Jay Oakerson
Yeah, there's the.
Bobby Kelly
A dick and ball. How do you do that?
Jay Oakerson
A bunch of equal signs and something. It takes a lot. Damn, dude.
Bobby Kelly
All right, so go back, go back, go back, go back, go back. Oh, you did it again. You almost got us again. Get. Take the screen off.
Jay Oakerson
Did you say I almost got you again? We just talked for five minutes about emojis. He said you almost pointed out again, by the way. And then eventually when she went to it, she goes, okay, Bobby, I'll go to the emoticons thing if you want. And you were going like, yeah, I think you could do you just.
Bobby Kelly
It's a gift. Gift. It's a fucking magic gift that he has. I was consumed by it, but I'm back. Get it off the screen.
Ryan Reynolds
I know. This gets worse.
Bobby Kelly
Could you just do me a favor just to back up a little bit? Can you read your. Can you read your response, please, one more time?
Jay Oakerson
This isn't a response. This is out of the blue.
Bobby Kelly
This is just out of the blue a month later.
Jay Oakerson
But I think they were performing in New York.
Bobby Kelly
Okay. Of course. Why would you do it otherwise?
Jay Oakerson
Hey, Adam, it's Jay Okerson, the comedian that you met at Bonnaroo. If you're back in New York this coming Thursday or Friday, I have shows at two Great clubs in the city. Let me know and I'll get you all hooked up. It's my turn to entertain you. Smile, face, emoji, emoticon.
Bobby Kelly
It's your turn to entertain him.
Jay Oakerson
He doesn't write back.
Bobby Kelly
Oh, no.
Jay Oakerson
A month later, I write, hey, brother, three dots.
Bobby Kelly
Hey, brother.
Jay Oakerson
Are you back in NYC for a bit? Would love for you to come see a comedy show. Why? Obviously.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah.
Jay Oakerson
He writes back nine minutes later.
Bobby Kelly
Oh, that's great. Good for you.
Jay Oakerson
Yo, Jay, I've been on tour so much. I'll be back in New York City tomorrow, but only until Wednesday. Then gone again for a little bit. I. I have your podcast you did with Koppelman ready for my flight tomorrow. You to want. Wants to listen to the company.
Bobby Kelly
Oh, that's good that he's listening to you.
Jay Oakerson
I'd really love to come see a show, though.
Bobby Kelly
That's great. That's good. That's a good sign. Is he listening to the compliments podcast or yours? It's compliments, right?
Jay Oakerson
Compliments.
Bobby Kelly
Okay, yeah. So he's a fan of compliments and you're on it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jay Oakerson
Two minutes later.
Bobby Kelly
Jesus Christ. You don't even wait 10 minutes.
Jay Oakerson
All right, let me know if you want to come to a show tomorrow night. If not, let's hook up when you're back in town.
Bobby Kelly
But he said, Said I'm not gonna have time.
Jay Oakerson
Maybe he said it.
Bobby Kelly
He goes, I'm only in town for one night, and then I'm out, and I won't be back for. I don't have. I. I don't have time.
Jay Oakerson
I'm letting him know that I said, I have a show tomorrow. He's only gonna be in town tomorrow night. I'm going.
Bobby Kelly
I'm not gonna have time.
Jay Oakerson
Oh, I, I. Okay, I didn't take it that way.
Bobby Kelly
He's telling you I don't have time.
Jay Oakerson
I'm agreeing with you. I'm saying I'm sorry. Okay, here's where I may have started losing an artsy fartsy type. Okay. If not, let's hook up when you're back in town. Knew he didn't write back. Oh, God. And we were having a back and forth. He doesn't write back. So after he doesn't write back for what looks like 33 minutes, I put in quotes. Link up would have sounded less aggressively gay than hookup. Ha ha ha.
Bobby Kelly
Oh, that kind of laughed, though. He must have responded like, ha ha, lol or something.
Jay Oakerson
Three days later.
Bobby Kelly
Oh, God.
Jay Oakerson
I write, oh, no, not you.
Bobby Kelly
It's not you. It's not you. It's not you. It's not you. It shouldn't be you.
Jay Oakerson
Shouldn't be me.
Bobby Kelly
No, it shouldn't be you.
Jay Oakerson
Agreed.
Bobby Kelly
It's not you. It's his turn. It's his turn.
Jay Oakerson
It's been his turn.
Bobby Kelly
He didn't get.
Jay Oakerson
He's weirded out by the gay stuff for now.
Bobby Kelly
Why do you feel like you always gotta go, I'm not gay. You always gotta say something and then go, hey, hey.
Jay Oakerson
Because I'm coming off gay. Because I'm such a fan of theirs.
Bobby Kelly
I know, but it sounds like you want to do gay stuff when you say, hey, man, it's not gay. I'm not trying to be gay.
Jay Oakerson
I don't think this gets better. He starts responding less. A lot.
Bobby Kelly
Go ahead.
Ryan Reynolds
Wait, he responded to that?
Jay Oakerson
No. Three days later, I write. Tonight is the David Tell Comedy underground show at 10pm gonna be an amazing show. If you want to come, let me know and I'll get you all set up.
Bobby Kelly
Can I pause really quick? Can we go back to his last response to you? Go back to his last response. What does he say on that?
Jay Oakerson
I'd really love to come see a show.
Bobby Kelly
Keep going.
Jay Oakerson
That's the last thing you said.
Bobby Kelly
No, before that.
Jay Oakerson
Oh, yo, Jay, I've been on tour so much. I'll be back in New York City tomorrow, but only until Wednesday. Then go on again for a bit. I have your podcast with Koppelman ready for my flight tomorrow.
Bobby Kelly
So you know that he's not in town. You already know that he's not going to be in town. I don't have time. But I'm leaving Wednesday, so I won't be there. And you offer him a show that he can't go to. And you know that I think this was probably. And you also threw David Tell in there just in case. It's not. He's not. He's not.
Ryan Reynolds
That was way later though, right?
Bobby Kelly
He's not into you.
Ryan Reynolds
That was like a later.
Jay Oakerson
No, it's three days later. But it was within the time he
Ryan Reynolds
said that he doesn't have time anymore. Us twice.
Jay Oakerson
He didn't say he didn't have time. He just said he was only going to be around till Wednesday.
Bobby Kelly
I'm not going to make it, dude. I'm in town only till Wednesday.
Jay Oakerson
That's not what he was saying.
Bobby Kelly
That's exactly saying, dude, I've been down for one night.
Jay Oakerson
He's going, I think you probably only work on weekends. But I'm only here till Wednesday. And I'm letting him know. No, dude, I have shows all week long.
Bobby Kelly
He doesn't. He can't make it. He's not going to be able to make.
Jay Oakerson
He didn't make it.
Bobby Kelly
He.
Jay Oakerson
It's fine. He didn't come.
Bobby Kelly
So then.
Jay Oakerson
Does that make everybody happy?
Bobby Kelly
So then you decided. You decided to add another comic that he might. That might entice him more. Did Dave know you did that?
Jay Oakerson
Manager Adam probably has to go watch Fortune Feimster do the Tonight show, and he doesn't want to leave. He wants to hear how much more I embarrass myself.
Bobby Kelly
Is Fortune doing the Tonight show tonight? He just wants to leave.
Jay Oakerson
He just wants to get out of here. He has nowhere to be.
Bobby Kelly
He wants to go downstairs and sit in one of those comfortable chairs on 31st, 5th floor.
Jay Oakerson
He asked me outside before he goes, you guys gonna have Jerry o' Connell in? I was like, we did already. So he didn't. I didn't get him set up for Davitel. He didn't get back to me.
Bobby Kelly
Couldn't. Couldn't make it.
Jay Oakerson
Couldn't make it.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah.
Jay Oakerson
Couldn't make it. So August 22nd. So let's say this is 15, 17 days later.
Bobby Kelly
17 days later, he responds.
Jay Oakerson
I write, oh, God, no.
Ad Voice
Why?
Bobby Kelly
Why?
Ad Voice
Why?
Bobby Kelly
Why?
Jay Oakerson
Because I needed him to know that tonight is my last weekend performance in New York City for a while because I'm leav oddball tour dates.
Bobby Kelly
He already told you I'm not gonna
Jay Oakerson
be back weeks later.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah, but he didn't give you.
Jay Oakerson
He said for a while. But it's a while. Me, it could be four days, a week, a month.
Bobby Kelly
Don't contact me till I contact you.
Jay Oakerson
That's not what I meant.
Bobby Kelly
Exactly what it means, dude.
Jay Oakerson
Just seeing if you were around to check out a show. If not, give me a heads up when you're back in town.
Bobby Kelly
You're begging. You're begging.
Jay Oakerson
I'm begging.
Bobby Kelly
You're begging.
Jay Oakerson
The. The next day he writes back, oh, good.
Bobby Kelly
Okay, fine.
Jay Oakerson
Thanks, Jay. But I'm still on tour in Europe.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah. Get it? I wrote before.
Jay Oakerson
Wish I could come. My tour manager is also a big fan of yours. We'll catch a show sometime for sure.
Bobby Kelly
Sometime, huh? So that means some.
Ryan Reynolds
Stop badgering me.
Bobby Kelly
Stop bugging us. We like you.
Jay Oakerson
Seven minutes later, I write, oh, God, why under 10?
Bobby Kelly
It's a. It's. It's a. It's at least a 10 to 20 minute fucking dope. Talk back. He can see that you, seven minutes later, responded like you're Just watching your phone. You gotta. You gotta play hard to get a little bit. You can't do under 10. It's like the two day rule with chicks. You don't call them for two days. You don't respond to famous people with under 10 minutes. I waited at least 10 minutes after Anthony left to say something to him on dms. I wonder if he responded.
Jay Oakerson
He's going to Europe. I write.
Bobby Kelly
He see? He's going to another country.
Jay Oakerson
I write. Sweet. Have fun in the land of uncircumcised wangs. Lol. Talk to you soon, brother.
Bobby Kelly
You make it everything gay. You make everything about. He thinks you're trying to. Dude, you keep bringing gay and wangs into it.
Ryan Reynolds
Know Big J was on the DL,
Bobby Kelly
dude. Everything, everything is. Hey, man, not gay. Not gay.
Jay Oakerson
Off. Jacob. He okay?
Bobby Kelly
Well, he had to write back. That's. He. He got the joke right, right?
Jay Oakerson
He didn't write back.
Bobby Kelly
Oh, God, no. So my stomach, like, it hurts. Big, big country of uncircumcised wangs.
Jay Oakerson
Okay, so two months later.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah, two months.
Jay Oakerson
Eating right back.
Bobby Kelly
How. How many times did you look in the next couple days?
Jay Oakerson
No idea. I don't remember. But a month later, on my daughter's birthday.
Bobby Kelly
Oh, God. So why are you thinking about another man on your daughter's birthday?
Jay Oakerson
I had left at this point.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah, he was out of the house.
Bobby Kelly
Makes sense. Makes sense.
Jay Oakerson
Oh, I was a deadbeat dad.
Bobby Kelly
I got you, got you. Gotcha. Makes sense.
Jay Oakerson
No, no, no.
Bobby Kelly
You and Christine somewhere getting high.
Ryan Reynolds
No, no, no.
Jay Oakerson
This was probably on my way to go see her to buy her present. I write, hi, buddy, exclamation point.
Bobby Kelly
Oh, God. Why? Why?
Jay Oakerson
I don't know, Bobby. Not good at this.
Bobby Kelly
But why are you excited?
Jay Oakerson
I shouldn't have had a phone until, like, last year.
Bobby Kelly
Why? Why excited? Why are you excited to.
Jay Oakerson
Hey, I like the music of the war on drugs a lot.
Bobby Kelly
I know, but why? Hey, buddy. Hi, buddy.
Ryan Reynolds
Are you replying to stories where you, like, can't see all your previous messages beforehand?
Jay Oakerson
No.
Bobby Kelly
Oh, you didn't go back and read any of this?
Jay Oakerson
No.
Ryan Reynolds
But you open it up and you see, like, the blue, blue, blue.
Jay Oakerson
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no doubt. For sure.
Bobby Kelly
You're just chasing the dragon, dude.
Jay Oakerson
Hey, buddy, are you playing Radio City tomorrow? Question mark, exclamation points.
Bobby Kelly
Can I ask you a question? You knew he was playing?
Jay Oakerson
Of course I did. I just. Why am I asking even? Because I write next text immediately. I just randomly check tour dates because I want to see a. Not 115 degree Tennessee heat. LOL. Is there still ticks? Now I'm asking him for ticks.
Bobby Kelly
So you are offering him.
Jay Oakerson
No, I'm doing like the. Are they still available? You don't even know. I could find this a lot myself.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah, you're like, I can totally Google.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah. Dude, you said, are you. Are you. That's a question, right? Are you playing? And then you answered your own question in the same thread and then you said, can I get ticks in the same thing, basically.
Jay Oakerson
No, no, no, no, no, no. I said, is there ticks?
Ryan Reynolds
Get.
Bobby Kelly
Can I get 10 tickets?
Ryan Reynolds
Can I get 10 tickets to the show?
Jay Oakerson
I said, is there ticks?
Bobby Kelly
Hey, I know you haven't responded in 3 months to any of my gay
Ryan Reynolds
35 tickets to your show.
Bobby Kelly
My gay aggressive hits. Listen, also, you let him know that
Jay Oakerson
you're back in New York and you didn't contact me. I know you're back in New York.
Bobby Kelly
Oh, yeah, you're stalking me, pointing out he didn't. Hey, you said you were going to
Jay Oakerson
get in touch with me when you're back and you're back and I didn't hear from you. From you. Yeah, he made a promise in front of the goddess. His body made a promise to me.
Bobby Kelly
Hey, you back? I know you're back. Yeah.
Jay Oakerson
By the way, so let me get. I just randomly check the dates. I don't want to see any heat. Is there still ticks? He doesn't respond. The next day did you write back,
Bobby Kelly
I will not be ignored, Dan?
Jay Oakerson
No, what I did. What I write back the next day is, I'm coming tonight. Oh, God, can't wait to watch you guys in a theater.
Bobby Kelly
Oh, that's so gay. Yeah, I can't wait to watch you.
Jay Oakerson
Then he didn't go. That was, I believe, Lisa Ann Fenoia.
Ryan Reynolds
I don't know where I was out of town.
Jay Oakerson
You were out of town?
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah.
Bobby Kelly
Thank God.
Jay Oakerson
I go. So then he doesn't respond to that. The next day at 7:10pm I write, brought a gang of people last night. Such an amazing show. Nothing back. February 2, 2016.
Bobby Kelly
I can't believe you're continuing to message this guy. Can I just say something? Can I just say something?
Ryan Reynolds
Yes.
Bobby Kelly
So you said to him, are you. And then you answered the question, I know you are. And then you said, are there any ticks available? And then no response. And then you said, got ticks. I got ticks. I got ticks. And I brought a bunch of people. I went, I went. Also, you. You let him know I will not be Deterred.
Jay Oakerson
I want to come. I'm coming. I went.
Bobby Kelly
I went.
Jay Oakerson
And nothing from you.
Bobby Kelly
Nothing.
Jay Oakerson
Yeah. That is. I am trying to connotate that a little bit.
Ryan Reynolds
He was like, I don't want to see you backstage.
Bobby Kelly
Wow.
Jay Oakerson
Correct.
Bobby Kelly
Wow.
Jay Oakerson
But this is what hurts. Then we have like a Gary Clark who does want us backstage. And I'm like, I do believe.
Ryan Reynolds
I'm like, he probably has his messages off. He's not a guy checking his personal DMS all the time.
Jay Oakerson
These aren't dms. These are. These aren't dm. This is. Oh, it's all text phone numbers.
Ryan Reynolds
This.
Bobby Kelly
Can I tell you something about text messages? I learned it's a hundred percent real read. If you get somebody's number, like a fan or whatever. There was like these apps that got their numbers 100 read. Everybody who gets a text message reads it. It's a hundred. It's not 99. A hundred percent.
Jay Oakerson
Well, not me.
Bobby Kelly
He read it and ignored it.
Jay Oakerson
Sometimes I just do that too.
Ryan Reynolds
75 unread text messages.
Bobby Kelly
Well, yeah, but you're an anomaly. You don't. You don't talk to anybody.
Ryan Reynolds
No, I've seen. Seen phone people.
Bobby Kelly
Everybody reads their text because it comes up on your phone. It says. It says big J and it says the first couple lines. You always see it. You never not see a text.
Jay Oakerson
I want to tell you what. What I said.
Bobby Kelly
You didn't say more after this. It's over.
Jay Oakerson
Four months later.
Bobby Kelly
Oh, God. My God. Oh, my God.
Jay Oakerson
On my father's birthday.
Bobby Kelly
Why on. You shouldn't be thinking about other people on these days.
Jay Oakerson
I don't know why it's my father father's. But my father's birthday. Who gives a.
Bobby Kelly
You should be thinking about these people. Why? Why are you thinking of God?
Jay Oakerson
I am thinking of him. I'm thinking I need war.
Bobby Kelly
Why you think? What's his name?
Jay Oakerson
Adam Racio.
Bobby Kelly
Why is Adam Rao on your mind? Why is the lead singer of this band on your mind on your daughter's birthday and your father's birthday?
Jay Oakerson
Their music calms me.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah, maybe red eyes came on.
Jay Oakerson
So I write, hey, buddy. Oh, God, don't know if you're in NYC. February 21st, parentheses it's a Sunday.
Bobby Kelly
You do. Oh, you're telling them the days that you know the days.
Jay Oakerson
But I'm taping my first one hour stand up special for Comedy Central at Webster Hall. Dot, dot, dot. Gonna be a huge event. I'm pretty stoked. Wanted to personally invite you since your tunes have often kept me sane or mellow. Or helped me be sad and get over it within the last few years.
Bobby Kelly
I gotta go.
Jay Oakerson
You should go.
Bobby Kelly
I want to go.
Jay Oakerson
I gotta leave. Let me know if you're interested and I'll get you on the VIP list asap. Hope all's well with you. He wrote back five hours later. Yo, Big J, that means a lot and I appreciate it, but I live in LA now.
Bobby Kelly
Yeah, stop. Stop calling me. I'm not coming. I live. I live.
Jay Oakerson
He didn't mean that.
Bobby Kelly
I live across the country, bro. You need to stop texting me about your shows. I'm not coming.
Jay Oakerson
Coming. Yeah, and you.
Bobby Kelly
Can I just say something? You didn't. You didn't even invite me to your thing.
Jay Oakerson
Your songs have never mellowed me out. Made me feel sad when I should be sad.
Bobby Kelly
He didn't. No, no, that's not true.
Ryan Reynolds
You did not be true.
Jay Oakerson
Everybody was invited.
Ryan Reynolds
No, that's not.
Bobby Kelly
I'm gonna say this.
Ryan Reynolds
That's crazy.
Bobby Kelly
I'm gonna say it right now.
Ryan Reynolds
No way.
Bobby Kelly
It's you. You didn't invite me to your t taping.
Jay Oakerson
I was afraid people wouldn't show up at all, apparently.
Bobby Kelly
You weren't afraid that he wasn't gonna show up?
Jay Oakerson
I was afraid and he didn't.
Bobby Kelly
He's never going to.
Jay Oakerson
He never was say that, but you're gonna want me to get through some more of these. Oh, please, before we have to have our guests in here. He writes, it means a lot. But I live in LA right now.

Ryan Reynolds
Oh yeah, we did.
Jay Oakerson
Yeah. He doesn't respond on also Monday or Tuesday. If you can come on SiriusXM to do my radio show on Comedy Central network.

The show is 6 to 8pm you could come in anytime for as long as you like. He doesn't reply. Four days later I write. Me and my radio partner are here so psyched to see you guys.

Ryan Reynolds
You know what?
Jay Oakerson

Jay Oakerson
No. Yeah. Sal came in and he was like, dude, I'm a fan of you. And I was like, shut up. But he was like, really? He's like, I see it seller all the time. I own this bar. We did comedy show. And I was like, what? And so it was pretty.

Bobby Kelly
I bet she he did. And she was like, you got to stop.
Jay Oakerson
She asked baby stance to call the police.
Bobby Kelly
She was probably like, hey, you got to stop talking to this guy. He's crazy. He's stalking you. You literally was stalking. You turned into a stalker, buddy.

Episode: Jay Bothers Another Celebrity
Aired: July 22, 2026
Podcast Host: SiriusXM (Faction Talk Channel 103)
In this comedic and unfiltered episode, Big Jay Oakerson and Robert Kelly, joined intermittently by their crew and studio guests, deep-dive into the perils of social awkwardness—especially when it comes to Jay’s tendency to over-DM celebrities he admires. The “incident” central to the episode is Jay’s hilariously persistent and cringeworthy attempt to befriend Adam Granduciel, lead singer of The War on Drugs, despite receiving minimal response. From NYC street food rants, to power-tripping TSA agents, to dysfunctional family stories and jorts fashion debates, the conversation is irreverent, blunt, and packed with self-deprecating humor and punchy banter.
[02:00-05:45]
Jay and Bobby lament the unfriendly attitude of NYC hot dog vendors and discuss the famed halal cart “Adele’s,” marveling at its success but agreeing they’d never wait two hours for street food.
Quote:
"If I'm buying meat from a truck that is stored in a shed on the West Side highway, it should be fast and it should be pleasant."
—Bobby Kelly [05:34]
Jay theorizes there’s a form of “cart racism” at play, sparking a joking riff on turning their “racisms” toward unpleasant food vendors.
[06:10-08:25]
“Some people wound up having to leave and lost out on thousands of dollars. You can’t get your ticket back.”
—Bobby Kelly [07:19]
[09:00-13:50]
[13:47-16:50]
[22:12-28:55]
[33:13-35:10]
[36:04-72:53]
[36:04-41:21]
[45:04-72:53]
Jay's Approach: He invites Adam to multiple comedy shows, using enthusiastic language, emoticons/emojis, and repeated offers to “hook up” (hang out).
Bobby’s Play-by-Play: Bobby provides a relentless running roast, dissecting Jay’s social missteps.
Cringe Crescendo:
“You gotta play hard to get a little bit…You can’t do under 10 [minutes]. It’s like the two-day rule with chicks.”
—Bobby Kelly [56:13]
“I’m not going to make it, dude. I’m only in town until Wednesday.”
—Bobby Kelly, acting out Adam’s subtext [54:04]
"That was humiliating. We have to get our guests in here, so we gotta take a break."
—Jay Oakerson [72:53]
Jay, on His Self-Sabotaging DM Skills:
“I shouldn’t have had a phone until last year.” [58:39]
Bobby, on Jay’s Text Etiquette:
“Stop, stop calling me. I live across the country, bro. You need to stop texting me about your shows. I’m not coming.” [64:24]
Jay’s Rationalization:
“I want The War on Drugs to be a fan of me.” [72:26]
Meta-Commentary
“Your manager. Why you let him go?”
—Bobby Kelly [65:48]
Throughout, the tone is relentlessly irreverent, self-deprecating, and gleefully juvenile, with plenty of good-natured roasting, digressions, and confessions of personal flaws. Both Jay and Bobby keep it honest—poking fun at themselves and each other, while offering a sincere look at the awkwardness and longing behind one-sided fandom.
This episode of The Bonfire showcases Jay Oakerson’s mortifying attempt to befriend a celebrity, with Bobby Kelly as his sharp-tongued, sympathetic therapist/tormentor. The result is a laughter-packed therapy session about social faux pas, emotional vulnerability, and the eternal quest for coolness and acceptance—both in the comedy scene and beyond. Fans of blunt, unscripted comedy will appreciate the brutal honesty, while anyone dreading an unanswered text will feel (cringe-)seen.
