Introduction

In the April 17, 2025 episode of The Bonfire on SiriusXM’s Faction Talk channel, hosts Big Jay Oakerson and Robert Kelly delve into a personal and somewhat chaotic experience involving their friend Josh Adamyers during a recent Deftones concert. The episode, titled "Josh's Friend," offers a blend of humor, candid storytelling, and unfiltered commentary, characteristic of the show’s trademark style.

Main Story: The Concert Conundrum

The centerpiece of the episode revolves around an ill-fated concert experience at Madison Square Garden, where the trio—Big Jay, Robert, and Christine—attended a Deftones performance. The night took a turn due to Josh Adamyers’ mishandling of concert tickets, resulting in their friend Mike Fenoia being left behind with floor seats they had promised him.

Ticket Troubles and Friendship Strains

The hosts recount the sequence of events that led to the predicament. Initially, Michelle Adamyers assured them of securing eksquisite floor seats and backstage passes through his connections with Deftones' lead singer, Cedric. However, as the concert unfolded, Josh’s inability to manage the tickets caused significant frustration.

• Big Jay: “[02:48]…it usually hits me with stuff that you don't care about, like food or questions… You should have an Italian or a fucking chicken cutlet.”

• Christine: “[04:00]…Mike Fenoya, love him. Sensitive guy. Of course, I didn't say hello to him in the right way. Got all pissy with me.”

Josh’s decision to leave the group to attend his personal agenda, including meeting Mars Volta, left Mike stranded. This action not only disrupted the night but also strained the dynamics within the friend group.

Emotional Reactions and Host Reactions

The episode captures the hosts' emotional responses, blending humor with genuine disappointment. Christine expresses her frustration with Josh’s actions, feeling let down by his inability to uphold his promises.

• Christine: “[14:35]…Go. Because I've never gotten used these terms before. I've done it before. I've done this thing before, so I know what the term is. And I go, Josh, on this one, I go, this…”

Big Jay and Robert navigate their feelings, oscillating between amusement and annoyance, highlighting the complexities of friendship when expectations go unmet.

Insights on Responsibility and Communication

A significant portion of the discussion focuses on the importance of responsibility and clear communication within friendships. The hosts emphasize the need for owning up to mistakes and the impact of one person's actions on the group's overall experience.

• Big Jay: “[36:49]…Listen, there's also some people that just…”

• Christine: “[36:24]…It's like, we all love you, buddy, but you fucking whiffed hard tonight.”

They explore how Josh’s actions, though seemingly minor, had ripple effects, leading to feelings of betrayal and the necessity for honest dialogue to mend relationships.

Humorous Anecdotes Amidst Tension

Despite the tension, the hosts intersperse the narrative with humorous anecdotes and witty banter, maintaining the show’s lively and entertaining atmosphere.

• Big Jay: “[37:02]…We're going to walk the fuck away or you're going to get your shit together. And he did. And that's it.”

• Christine: “[27:37]…He flung it on me. Apologize.”

These moments of levity provide a balanced perspective, showcasing the hosts' ability to find humor even in frustrating situations.

Lessons Learned and Moving Forward

Towards the episode's conclusion, Big Jay and Christine reflect on the lessons learned from the ordeal, advocating for better planning and accountability in future endeavors. They stress the importance of not letting one person’s shortcomings overshadow the group's collective enjoyment.

• Christine: “[28:27]…Learn. Stop doing this stupid shit.”

• Big Jay: “[36:17]…Listen, there's also some people that just…”

Vitamin Water was born in New York because New Yorkers wanted more like more flavor to go with all the flavor. A refreshing drink after climbing six flights of stairs to a walk up apartment or standing in the subway station in 100 degree heat.

[Christine]

[Vitamin Water Representative]

Yeah.

[Big J Okerson]

It's so funny though. You said he got fat.

[Christine]

Oh, he did get fat.

[Big J Okerson]

Why does it make me happy when that when, when guys who are hot and sexy lead singers get fat?

[Christine]

Well, what makes me. I don't like that. What I like is when they get fat and they snap back like this. You're like, damn, he looks awesome again. Yeah, like he looks skinny and cool on stage.

[Big J Okerson]

He went from an awesome lead singer to just a Mexican.

[Christine]

Oh, bring him up fat Christine. There's, there's videos and eras of them where he looks like works at a gas station.

[Big J Okerson]

Yeah, he looks like he just a chubby Mexican dude. There he is right there.

Yeah. That's my producer of YKWD for five years.

[Christine]

I mean. Yeah, he got like, he got chubby enough.

[Big J Okerson]

That must suck though, to be a front man and go fat.

[Christine]

Well, that's when he would get off drugs and shit.

[Big J Okerson]

Yeah.

[Christine]

Or drinking or whatever his rehab was for.

[Big J Okerson]

Yeah, he went right to tacos.

[Christine]

But he currently looks awesome skinny.

[Big J Okerson]

Looks great now.

[Christine]

Downright skin.

[Big J Okerson]

He's all over the stage, man.

[Christine]

I was so happy I was able to enjoy it because I started into it with not being in a great mood. Actually, I wasn't even.

[Robert Kelly]

It actually didn't ruin. It wasn't like Fourth of July. It didn't ruin your mood like that?

[Big J Okerson]

No, it didn't ruin your mood.

[Christine]

I was still getting ready to see the Deftones, which is one of my favorite bands.

[Big J Okerson]

Is it weird that I was actually happy when this whole thing with Josh went down? The. I don't know if you've noticed the. The. Just the smirk I had of glorious. Just. You know what I mean? Just like, here. Here it goes. And when it. Because it usually hits me with stuff that you don't care about, like food or questions or. That's the stuff that I'm like, all right, shut the. I'm not your dad. Stop asking me. You should have an Italian or a fucking ch. Chicken cutlet.

[Christine]

You have to give Josh a lot of, like, bud, I love you, but.

[Big J Okerson]

I don't do that. I just go, dude, I don't know. I'm not your father. He's like, hey, I'm just asking. But you. You. That stuff doesn't bug you.

[Christine]

I'm asking everyone to be my father.

[Big J Okerson]

I need everybody to move my dad. But when it. When. When it. When. When it gets. Because it's usually me who has some type of story.

[Christine]

Sure.

[Big J Okerson]

And when it was you, I was just smiling. I just sat back and let it go down.

[Christine]

So in a quick recap, we all go. Deftones concert. Mike Fenoya is Josh Adamyers, plus one for his floor seats he said he was going to get.

[Big J Okerson]

And I want to say Mike Fenoya. Love him. Sensitive guy. Of course, I didn't say hello to him in the right way. Got all pissy with me.

[Christine]

Pissy?

[Big J Okerson]

Yeah. No, he went, all right, fuck me. Fuck me. Dude said, hi. You don't even fuck. I was like. Because I was mad at the lady who confronted me about sitting on the stairs. So when you guys showed up, I was kind of in my own head trying to, you know, I was having an argument in my own head with some. Some lady that I'd never met, that I'll probably never see again. I was doing crazy Bob Kelly shit.

[Christine]

Sure.

[Big J Okerson]

Trying not to go to sixth gear. And he showed up. I was like, hey, what's up, guys? And I immediately. He was like, hey, Bob. He was in such a great, great mood.

[Christine]

Yeah. He was getting used to the Deftones with his friends.

[Big J Okerson]

Mike was in a happy mood. And he's a sensitive guy. I'm a sensitive guy, too. I don't. When I say sensitive guy, I don't mean it as a negativism. I mean, hey, Man, I'm sensitive, too. And he was like, oh, fine. I said, hi. You don't fucking say. I was like, mike, I'm mad right now. And I was like, I'm sorry. Hi, Mike. You know, I kind of had to adjust him. Like, hey, dude, I get it. You're sensitive. On. Sensitive. I'm sorry.

[Christine]

Crying pussy.

[Big J Okerson]

Yeah, stop crying pussy. Right? So he is that type of guy.

[Christine]

Crying pussy.

[Big J Okerson]

No, no, no.

[Christine]

Oh, no. Okay. No.

[Big J Okerson]

So you don't think Mike's a sensitive guy?

[Christine]

He is, of course. Yes, very.

[Big J Okerson]

Who's most sensitive, me or Mike? I mean, it bugs me. Mike, I'm sensitive. That you have. Okay, Mike. It should be immediate. Mike. Immediate.

[Christine]

You're pretty sensitive.

[Big J Okerson]

Fuck you. I'm not. What?

[Robert Kelly]

Ain't touchy.

[Big J Okerson]

You're fucking touchy. Sick of you guys. I want out.

[Robert Kelly]

I might be the least touchy of all of people.

[Christine]

Christine, do me a favor. Look up Chino Marino's fattest music video. Just those words, and then find that one. It's so funny to see him, like, performing, fasting.

[Big J Okerson]

You have calluses. That's why you've had your face against the glass more than us.

[Christine]

You callous.

[Big J Okerson]

Yeah.

[Christine]

So Mike was.

[Big J Okerson]

But everybody pumped, dude. Like, everybody shook out of every. I shook out of my thing quickly. I was you. You were your energy. When we. This is the great part about you. I'm gonna. I'm gonna throw you. I'm gonna give you some flowers right now, Jay.

[Christine]

Thank you.

[Big J Okerson]

And I like giving you flowers.

[Christine]

Thank you. I like giving you flowers.

[Big J Okerson]

I want to fucking hug you so bad right now. God, you're adorable. I know what all the fuss is about about you, by the way. When you act like this.

[Christine]

You.

[Big J Okerson]

When you do. What are you laughing at?

[Christine]

She doesn't agree with you.

[Big J Okerson]

Really?

[Christine]

She's a cold bitch.

[Big J Okerson]

Yeah, whatever. Here's the thing, Jay. You want everybody to have a good time. You are making sure you're looking around. Even during the concert, you're looking at me. I'm kind of jamming out with my hoodie on.

[Christine]

Especially when I think. I will say when I think it's my thing that I'm almost. I understand we have limited time. So I go, will you guys give a night in to, like, this thing I think you're gonna love?

[Big J Okerson]

Right?

[Christine]

That's where I'm at.

[Big J Okerson]

And you are making sure. I mean, you gotta fight to pay for something with you. And it's ridiculous. It's like, dude, come on. And you want you good, everything. And I'm like, yeah, can you see here, right? You actually. I mean, just. Beautiful guy. We get there, you're worried about everybody. We get in there, everybody's ready to rock. You're always solving puzzles. I'm gonna go do this. I gotta get this. We'll meet you guys in. Do that. Do this. And everything was going swimmingly. And then we go in to the.

[Christine]

Garden and down the concessions on the floor, which is.

[Big J Okerson]

Yeah, the special place where they have the special hamburgers.

[Christine]

And Josh came down. We did get to this part, I believe. Jacob, you tell me where we left off around here. If you could turn on your hot mic. Josh, he said that he.

[Jacob]

Mic is hot. You had talked to Josh, suddenly appeared and he said. And you said, where's Mike? And he said, oh, yeah, he's in the seat.

[Big J Okerson]

I had gone to go get water.

[Jacob]

You left him in the seat. And then I gotta go, dude, I'm sorry. I gotta go see the band.

[Christine]

I have to go see. I have to go see Mars Volta.

[Big J Okerson]

I had left to go get Waters for all of us. Yeah, I had left you to go get waters. That's right.

[Christine]

You didn't even see Josh.

[Big J Okerson]

Didn't even see him.

[Christine]

It was that quick. He came, I saw him for 30 seconds.

[Robert Kelly]

Were you by your. Because I think me and Isabelle went to pee and Bobby went to get water. Were you by yourself? Completely.

[Christine]

I saw him. I saw him. He showed me his ticket for his seat. Told me he can't believe it. There's seats. When I go, well, how are you down here? He goes, I had to go buy a floor ticket. Then I asked him, where's Mike Fenoia? He goes up in the seats. He said he was all good. He said he couldn't afford to get a ticket because he just bought. You know, him and his wife just bought a house or something. And I'm like, why did he have to say that? Like, why didn't you just fix it? And he's like. He's like, I got. I don't know. I go, you just left him up there? He's like. He said, he's good. I gotta go. And he ran inside.

[Big J Okerson]

So he basically. So he. Basically. This is. This is what he did. This is what he did to Mike. He went, I got. I'm going down to the floor. This is my band.

[Christine]

Are you.

[Big J Okerson]

Are you good? And Mike was. As a man who is married, has a house. Yeah, I'm good. But you can't say no, I'm not good, dude. I want to be a parent myself. I want to be with my friends. I thought I was supposed. I thought I was supposed to go with you guys down there. That's the plan. That's the thing. I was sold. And now I'm standing by myself.

[Christine]

By myself like a doof, right? And now I. He's put me in a position where I again feel. I'm like, yo, I'm trying to get everybody together for this thing. And now you just left one of my people behind you doof. Like I have to deal with this.

[Big J Okerson]

Mike is your. Mike is your dog. Mike is one of your puppies.

[Christine]

I thought you meant dog like D, A, W, G. He's not a puppy. No, but Mike is.

[Big J Okerson]

Mike is your.

[Christine]

But Mike's who I invited.

[Big J Okerson]

Mike is your. Look at. Mike's all of our friends. But Mike is your pal. He's one of your close pals. You know what I mean? Yeah. It'd be like if I took Colin or something. Yeah, exactly.

[Christine]

So of course you'd feel the most responsibility for him. I felt the most responsibility for Mike. But it's also that responsibility, I mean, in a friendship responsibility, where I'm like, of course you're gonna sit with us. I wouldn't ask you to come to this concert and sit somewhere else.

[Big J Okerson]

Bonnie and Rich.

[Christine]

Yes.

[Big J Okerson]

Is it.

[Christine]

No, sorry. Oh, the Kobe felt. We fucked Bonnie.

[Big J Okerson]

Yeah. No, no, no.

[Christine]

We can go back to that. Whatever you want.

[Big J Okerson]

I'm just sorry. I just shot it in my head.

[Christine]

Maybe I have more questions.

[Robert Kelly]

I feel like you were. I know. You said this on Monday.

[Christine]

Me and Christine were just keeping that. We fucking boned out. Bonnie. Bonnie. I gave Bonnie the biz. I give Bonnie the biz.

[Big J Okerson]

Do you give her the biz now?

[Christine]

Sure. No, Bonnie's pretty. I always think Bonnie's pretty.

[Big J Okerson]

No, Bonnie's. Yeah, Bonnie's pretty. Pretty. No, I'm kidding.

[Robert Kelly]

She's pretty and funny and so smart.

[Big J Okerson]

Come on, let's relax. She's very funny.

[Christine]

Yeah.

[Big J Okerson]

Very smart.

[Christine]

What were you saying, Christine? About what?

[Robert Kelly]

Did I say you were gonna get Mike the ticket? Like, you. Part of the conversation was like, I'll.

[Christine]

Just grab the ticket, Jacob, you'll remember. Cause you're getting this all like third hand. Did I say that? That you had.

[Jacob]

You had told Josh that you were gonna take care of the tickets and he insisted. No, no, I got a hookup.

[Big J Okerson]

No, no, I'll do this.

[Christine]

Well, there was that, but I'm saying when I already bought tickets and Josh was gonna figure it out for, like, you know, himself, and if he wanted to get four with backstage Passes, give him to whoever. Then it got dialed back to. He had one plus one. I said, do you want to do that? Can you give that to Fenoya? Or I'll buy him one now. Yeah. Or is it. Okay, well, let me see what I can get. And then it was just even like, if you can't do anything, you can do it. I'll just buy it. I got it. No, no, no. I got a plus one. I go, and that plus one, you're not. Are you bringing. He's like. He's like, well, I thought maybe Feeny. Mike Feeney. And so I go, but you're only getting one. I go, if you're gonna give defeat just. I just need to know what you're gonna do with it. Or give it to Fenoia. Or I'll buy one. I got it. And then it was a. And then it was a seat. Seat. And he just left Mike up there. So that's where we're at. And then when he sees me, he has to go watch Mars Volta right away.

[Robert Kelly]

No texts, obviously. Mike's not texting me. I feel like we're doing Mike a disservice based Josh. Like, he couldn't afford it. He didn't want to spend the money on the ticket.

[Christine]

No, no, no, no.

[Big J Okerson]

Let me tell you, as a guy who could afford it, I wouldn't want to spend the money.

[Robert Kelly]

It's not.

[Big J Okerson]

Mike's not broken.

[Robert Kelly]

Didn't want to spend the money.

[Big J Okerson]

When somebody says, you're getting floor seats, this. If somebody says, yo, you're going into the snake pit, and you don't get into the snake pit, and your son's heart is broken.

[Robert Kelly]

Bobby, we don't talk to that guy anymore.

[Big J Okerson]

You're right. I'm sorry. I brought something up. You know what?

[Robert Kelly]

We cut all ties now.

[Big J Okerson]

Mike Cannon. Mike Cannon and his wife.

[Christine]

I'm really. I'm really happy you brought that up right there.

[Big J Okerson]

Why?

[Christine]

Because it's a fantastic example, actually. Is it? We were told we were getting in the snake pit. We did not get into the snake pit. At no point did I try to solve or correct that situation for just me and Christine or just me. I was like, we're all gonna. And when. And when we went down the floor and Max goes, I actually don't like it here. I want to go back to sleep. Let's all go back to the seats. And I would go, wherever we're at, we're all at.

[Big J Okerson]

We're all at accommodating Jay. Because you would have been happy. Hey, let's go down here and stand on the. But you know, Max wouldn't be able to see.

[Christine]

No, he can't see.

[Big J Okerson]

So let's go back up the seats and we enjoy. But it was still great and we had a good time. Why? Because we're all together.

[Christine]

We're all together.

[Big J Okerson]

We had a blast together. I mean, his heart was broken, but I think he said we had a.

[Christine]

Blast of Metallica the other night. We all went sitting in seats. The thing. We had a blast.

[Big J Okerson]

I'm pretty sure he was like, it hurts inside and I don't know how to make it go away.

[Christine]

Dad, listen, it's the reason he's going to do something wildly violent one day. No doubt.

[Big J Okerson]

Hopefully creatively.

[Christine]

Hopefully it's creative.

[Big J Okerson]

Listen, listen, here's the thing. It is a. From Mike's perspective, though, to have a guy. You don't. You're not. Josh is your friend.

[Christine]

They're not tight.

[Big J Okerson]

Josh is your friend.

[Christine]

Yes, we exclusively. I think.

[Big J Okerson]

You should. I want you to get a shirt that says, Josh is my friend.

[Christine]

Josh's friend.

[Robert Kelly]

I said, I want everybody friends. I go, none of my friends like each other.

[Christine]

Dude, I'm gonna have Josh. Adam Myers, one and only friend, is going to be what my shirt says.

[Big J Okerson]

Look at. Man, I like Josh.

[Christine]

I love him.

[Big J Okerson]

Yeah, I like him a lot.

[Robert Kelly]

That's why we were. It was incredibly this behavior.

[Christine]

That's what I'm saying the word about this, which I said. I think even at the thing, I go, this was in every parental sense of the word. Yeah, I was very disappointed. That's what it was. That's why I wasn't. Anger is the worst thing. I'm angry. But more than anything, I'm like, damn, Josh, you fucking whiffed this night up hard. Because you were just like, I gotta get me. I gotta do a thing. And by the way, also the arrogance of going, I have to be in there for Mars. But because that's gonna come back to him in some way. Because this guy who sings in the band who doesn't give two fucking fucks about Josh, he's gonna not see him or something.

[Big J Okerson]

Here's what bothered me. What bothered me. We. We all were getting these hamburgers. I don't know why. Madison Square Garden, these hamburgers are just amazing. The cheeseburgers we get, you don't even.

[Christine]

Need to put condiments on them.

[Big J Okerson]

It's so good. And I was like, I'm going to get everybody hamburgers. I'm getting everybody a hamburger. I got a couple hot Dogs. And we got some chips, and we all went to our little section where we go and we ate, and they were great.

[Christine]

He came out after Mars Volta was.

[Big J Okerson]

Over and went and got his own hamburger. Didn't even come over and go.

[Christine]

He got food, right?

[Big J Okerson]

He went and got food.

[Christine]

He was getting napkins. I forgot.

[Big J Okerson]

You guys didn't remember this. He went and got. So he didn't come to us and go, let's get food or let's do something together. He went and go, I'm going to get my own food. And he went and got food, came up to us eating, and then was like, you guys already ate. Oh, good. Like, it's like, I don't. That.

[Christine]

So he sees us down that hall.

[Big J Okerson]

Sees us down the hall.

[Robert Kelly]

We also made that. We're like. I said, you guys all want to go eat without Josh?

[Big J Okerson]

Oh, yeah.

[Christine]

I love. Christine suggests that it was a wonderful. She goes, want to go eat without him? That'll make him mad. I go, yes, right away. Let's go get food and sit and have a nice meal. During the band. He needed to go.

[Big J Okerson]

See, we ate everything and protested. There was chips left over, and I smushed the bag.

[Christine]

I smashed them. I pinched my fingers through the end of my burger. I wasn't eating.

[Robert Kelly]

I think we kind of threw out the hot dog.

[Christine]

I think we tossed the dog.

[Big J Okerson]

Yeah. We opened all the condiment packages and he showed up, but he ruined that because we didn't even get to. We didn't get that, like, oh, you guys ate without me. Which would have made us feel a little better.

[Christine]

We didn't ate without y'all.

[Big J Okerson]

He walked up and was like, I already ate.

[Christine]

Good.

[Big J Okerson]

I'm glad you already ate. So just eating that bugs me.

[Christine]

When he comes over, it's hard for me to tell the next part.

[Big J Okerson]

Buddy, you sat down.

[Christine]

I want to say publicly, I disagree with doing this in front of Isabella. One Christine and Bobby. I just. Like, I probably should have done just me and him, I guess. No, not at all.

[Big J Okerson]

Listen to me, dude. We're in our 40s and 50s, okay? We're halfway through life so far. Further than that, Jay. That's so fucking sad. Don't ever do that again.

[Robert Kelly]

Dude, we're skipping over that. Like, during Mars Volta, were frantically trying to get a floor.

[Christine]

Oh, my God.

[Robert Kelly]

Can't exit. And we're.

[Christine]

We.

[Robert Kelly]

You bought Jay.

[Christine]

Bought Jacob. Jacob. I may have skipped over. Did I tell you this part? That immediately my move is to start trying to find my guys right before we go to get Food. I try. Before we try to go to food. I try to solve the problem. So I go, let me see if I can get a floor ticket. And I go. And I look, I type in the Deftones msg. I buy.

[Big J Okerson]

You're panicking. You're panicking.

[Christine]

Panicking. I'm trying to just get. And I see one, and I go, all right, you know, a couple hundred bucks. I go, all right, let me get it. Let me get this. And just get it to him. And then we'll figure. We'll sort it out, but let's just get everybody down here. I buy that ticket. Then I go, and it says, tickets confirmed. And I click on the link. It's a ticket for Wells Fargo center in Philadelphia the next day. So now I own this ticket that I ended up not being able to get rid of. So I just ate that.

[Robert Kelly]

I could never claim the fucking ticket.

[Christine]

It sucks. We just ate fucking hundreds of dollars on that.

[Big J Okerson]

On bought a ticket for nobody.

[Christine]

And then I go. And then I go, mike, I can't. And then. So I try. It's now because of the time we've wasted from the time that Josh bought one, it's now blacked out. You can't buy them online anymore. We're too deep into the concert. So the only choice left was Fenoy. I go, hey, I'm like, buddy, I know you don't want to sit up there by yourself. You're not going. I go, so I guess walk out. And we all know once you go out, we've already tried going to guest services. We tried calling some. If you go out, you're out. They're not letting you back in, even with your ticket and all that. But the only option was, like, go out and see if you can get a ticket from the ticket booth for the floor. And he went out to the lobby, and they were just flat out. It was like, we don't have any general admissions. Like, sold out now. So he goes, all right, man, well, I'm gonna get out of here. Which made me just feel. Taz, he's just leaving. And Mike's trying to do the right thing, too. He's like, buddy, buddy, enjoy your night. I know it's your thing. It's your band. Like, don't. Don't over sweat it, man.

[Robert Kelly]

It's fine, too Nice about it.

[Christine]

Yeah. He's like. He's like, I got to come see the house. He came by the house early days. Like, I got to come see that, buddy. I'm fine. It'll be fine.

[Big J Okerson]

Because he's a solid guy.

[Christine]

He's just trying to go, don't fucking ruin your nut. Because he went home.

[Big J Okerson]

He's a.

[Christine]

He went home and bummed out because we tried to call him later and he wasn't like. His phone was off.

[Big J Okerson]

He was like, he. He did the man thing.

[Christine]

Yep.

[Big J Okerson]

He's a solid dude, man. He is. He didn't want. He could have fucked up your night, made you feel terrible and made you want to leave and go.

[Christine]

Or even if he would just over complained about Josh that night. Right. That would have laid something on me because I was like, I'm just like, now I have to like, even be angry or Josh somehow. But he didn't. He was just like, dude, it is what it is. He didn't say anything about Josh. He wasn't even like, yeah, Josh kind of did a dick move. He's like, no, but when he just said the thing, when I was like, josh said that you said you wanted to stay up there, he's like, what am I gonna say? He's like, what am I gonna say? Man's like, I just bought. And he said, same thing as I told him. I just got a house. Can I sell? I don't want to. Like, I didn't plan on spending an extra 350 bucks.

[Big J Okerson]

Do you make 200? Less because of you. Here's the thing, Josh. The fact that you. Nobody in the world, at a concert with a group of friends, if you say, hey, you cool being by yourself up here? Nobody is. Nobody's gonna say, yes. You're gonna say, I'm fine. Go do your thing. But you presented it as, I gotta go do this. These are my friends. I have to go down there for them. Are you good by yourself up here? Yes, I'm a grown adult. Yes, I will be fine. But it sucks a bag of shit, and you know it.

[Christine]

You know it and you know it sucks a bag of shit. You're just trying to get yourself guilt free.

[Robert Kelly]

Yeah. Oh, you cool?

[Christine]

You're good? Bye.

[Big J Okerson]

No, I'm not.

[Robert Kelly]

As he's like running away, buying a ticket, buddy.

[Christine]

This is the famous. One of my favorite stories. It's taking me emotionally there describing the thing that's. We brought up the other day, Keith Robinson, dude, when we all would come up in my car, most of the time, my fucking Saturn, I believe it was. And Keith took it to the Comic Strip and was meeting me and Kevin Hart back down by the Strip or by the Cellar. And he pulled about front while me, Patrice and Kev Were standing outside. And Keith goes. He goes, hey. He goes, I'm gonna go see this girl real quick. Is that cool? Do you care? Goes, you mind guys going to Patrice's house for a little bit and I'll come grab you? At Patrice when he was in Jersey City.

[Big J Okerson]

Yeah.

[Christine]

You mind going to Patrice's? Patrice and Patrice was just kind of like, I don't give a fuck. But. And, but I don't say a word. Keith goes, I'm gonna go meet this chick for a minute. And blah, blah, blah. And then I was like. And he just drove away. And he came back three hours later. Patrice went to bed. It was just me and Kev playing Madden in his front thing. And he showed up with the empty balls of like, ah, player. I'm sorry, man. I shouldn't have done that. Stupid pussy. The best things in life come when you don't settle.

Jesus, do we.

[Big J Okerson]

But you know what? God gave him a double stroke because of that.

[Christine]

Because of that.

[Big J Okerson]

So now he can't use the right side of his body.

[Christine]

Now he can only cheat with his left armakey.

[Big J Okerson]

Yeah, you piece of shit.

[Christine]

So funny. That's where my.

[Big J Okerson]

That would suck for Josh if he got a. Welcome to the comedy jam.

[Robert Kelly]

And listen, you can't have Josh stroke out.

[Christine]

Listen, Josh and yeah, please, Josh don't have a stroke. We.

[Big J Okerson]

Where are you from?

[Christine]

I'm from jersey for a living. If girl's got real titties in the front row.

[Big J Okerson]

Stroke Josh. Stroke Josh.

[Christine]

Stroke. Josh is great. Look at this guy. Front row. What's your name?

[Big J Okerson]

Sing your name.

[Christine]

So yeah, he put him in the position where Mike. Exactly. He's like, you're good. You're good, right? So Mike just gets to go like, yeah, dude, I'm good. I guess, like, I don't really feel like talking to you about my finances and why this is crazy.

[Big J Okerson]

Yeah, you shouldn't have to say to somebody, hey, man, I just bought a house.

[Christine]

And that's a. You have to say that.

[Big J Okerson]

You should never have to say that at a concert. You should never go, hey, man, I just bought a house. I can't. I can't read. I can't buy an extra version of this ticket.

[Christine]

Can't buy a whole other ticket that.

[Big J Okerson]

You said you're going to give me.

[Christine]

Yes.

[Big J Okerson]

Yeah.

[Christine]

So. Because I didn't plan on coming to a concert tonight.

[Big J Okerson]

No.

[Christine]

Until I was invited to go to the concert. And we got everything. We're all set up.

[Big J Okerson]

Yeah.

[Robert Kelly]

So I said, we went to the Stones. It's like, if you invite people and you go, hey, we have these two tickets. They're not with us, but if you guys want to go to the show.

[Big J Okerson]

You know, when I fucked up, I was telling you that I bought the wrong. I bought three seats. They were good seats, but not as good as you. You like that? Give me those tickets. We're giving them to them people. And you'll sit with us so we all sit together.

[Christine]

Can you explain to those people? Right. Hey, you know. But we're gonna. This is a tailgater. We're gonna be together for hours and another hour after the concert, but concert itself, we're gonna be sitting. Okay.

[Big J Okerson]

It's a great concert.

[Christine]

Great.

[Robert Kelly]

That was so good.

[Christine]

Oh, man, it was great. Give me Shelter. Killed it.

[Big J Okerson]

Dance. Dancing with D. Don. My wife. You guys, we're all. Dance Max.

[Robert Kelly]

Everybody was dancing.

[Big J Okerson]

Fun.

[Christine]

Josh was fielding questions from the Puerto Ricans. Next to him, Josh was flossing.

[Big J Okerson]

Josh was flossing and eating and then flossed again.

[Christine]

Flinging it.

[Big J Okerson]

He flossed.

[Christine]

He flung it on me. Apologize.

[Big J Okerson]

Why are you friends? What is going on? He goes, oh, sorry, sorry.

[Christine]

I know he's oblivious, but he's hilarious. He's hilariously oblivious.

[Big J Okerson]

It's like you're. But here's the thing.

[Christine]

Listen, we said we weren't going to talk about this. I did say no.

[Big J Okerson]

No. I never said a fucking way. When he said. When he said, you're not going to talk about this.

[Christine]

No, that's not what happened. I just. I came out. I didn't go. And before you even asked, I go, and I'm not going to talk about this on bonfire because you say the bonfire people mean you. And I'm not looking to get you lumped up. But you know what? You can get a little lumped up over this, dude. You can get a little lumped up.

[Big J Okerson]

Listen, there's also some people that just.

[Christine]

Be like, fuck fenoia. So he'll get some.

[Big J Okerson]

We all get lumped up. But here's the thing you got here, okay? How do you not get lumped up?

[Christine]

This is a change. Change this.

[Big J Okerson]

How do you not get lumped up by changing this? Bang. Yeah, bang.

[Christine]

Learn.

[Big J Okerson]

Stop doing this stupid shit.

[Christine]

Fight your instincts. Fight your extraordinarily selfish instincts.

[Big J Okerson]

Yeah. Fight your narcissism.

[Christine]

It's what. We all got it, dude. We all got it. But in this particular situation, this is the oil and water that me and Josh will hit. In this, clearly, in a situation, I am exactly that. In situational, I'm a mother hen. And Josh is the guy that'll stand 50 yards away from you because he just started wandering to get closer and didn't even say, like, let's try to get closer.

[Big J Okerson]

Yep.

[Christine]

He just goes.

[Big J Okerson]

He'll go.

[Christine]

And you're like, okay. That's why I know when I took mushrooms, that Rob Zombie show, remember? That was one of the things I pointed out. I go, I didn't even think I was able to detach. I loved it. I go, christine was maybe even 5, 10ft over here. She was kind of just doing her thing and watching. And Josh was in smushing to the front doing his thing. Justin was coming, and I was just in my own world. Enjoy. I had such a blast. I needed that cut loose.

[Robert Kelly]

You asked me, it's always like, can you see? Can you see? And I'm like, I, I, I was like, I promise you I'll move if I can't see.

[Big J Okerson]

Right?

[Robert Kelly]

Promise.

[Big J Okerson]

Well, he was. Jay does that. Because there was certain points where I was getting a little whacked and he pulled me back. Because you are. Which, which I like, man, to be honest with you, I'm trying to find you. Well, because you're, you're a concert expert. Is. Can I call you that?

[Christine]

Sure.

[Big J Okerson]

And I'm not. I never did concerts growing up that much. I did a few, you know what I mean? I never really. I have a big fear of groups. I have a fear of crowds. And, you know, I really get, like, weirded out. I feel like.

[Christine]

Because anytime I get to meet Corn drummer tonight might come to the show.

[Big J Okerson]

That's great. Anytime I get into a crowd in my life, I got, I caught a beating. You know what I mean? Like, anytime I was around a lot of people, I'm getting my ass kicked or somebody's gonna fight, and it sucked. That's why anytime I get around a group of people, I'm like, fuck I'm gonna have to fight somebody, you know.

[Christine]

I'm worrisome looking for aggression at a concert. I don't mean looking for it to happen. I try to see where it is and get away from it. We had to get. We had a fan of that concert, if you remember, when Deftones came over, first announced he was on acid, him and his friend. And then he just spit all over my clothes. He goes. He came over. We moved back a little bit to give him a berth because he was like, they're big guys. Remember? They're little stocky dudes, like, muscular. And he was, like, very, like, just that kind of energy of that, like, throw a lot of fist pumping. And you're like, let me give this guy a bit of a wide berth. And then he just comes over. He goes, james is awesome.

[Big J Okerson]

And he.

[Christine]

And I mean, just laid it all over me. I'm like, thank you.

[Big J Okerson]

But I. I was. I actually got into a vibe in that concert. I was just kind of bobbing and enjoying it. I had this beautiful view of everything, and I had, like, maybe three people in front of me room. Nobody was. And then out of nowhere, this person with the biggest afro in the world ran. The woman just stood in front of me.

[Christine]

It looked like she was told to go to that exact spot.

[Robert Kelly]

She was just wider and just taller than you with the fro and just blocked you completely.

[Big J Okerson]

I was like, what the. And Jay grabbed me and just slowly.

[Christine]

Moved me to my whole other place over here. Dude, you're good.

[Big J Okerson]

I'm gonna send you the picture that it is.

[Christine]

It's funny.

[Big J Okerson]

Nuts.

[Christine]

But anyway, so Mike ends up having to leave, not giving any kind of grief about it. He's doing like a guy buddy. I'm fine. Please go enjoy the show. Don't. He even says, like, don't let this ruin your night, buddy. It's no big deal. I'm fine. And he leaves. So then Josh sees us after he scarfed his burger, which he probably did.

[Big J Okerson]

He was.

[Christine]

And I'm speculating, he scarfed a burger before he found us and then got burger. So he has a reason to get a burger with us.

[Big J Okerson]

He got it. No, I saw him up in line. He got a burger, and then he walked over with a half a burger, eating it, like. Yeah, he was eating while you were dressing him down in one. Let's not call it that, buddy. It is that you want to call it.

[Robert Kelly]

Cheat. Yeah, Jay, we're gonna rename it.

[Christine]

Well, you were there. Was it a dressing down?

[Big J Okerson]

Yes. Yeah.

[Robert Kelly]

As Bobby said, I mean, it's one of the nicest.

[Big J Okerson]

The. Here's what the problem is when you get dressed down. Like, if I dress you down, it's with fuck anger, mean face. Which I'd rather prefer that than what you did. Your calm, I mean, stoic, smiling, dressing down. It was. It was Jacob. It was enjoyable, very enjoyable.

[Christine]

It. I was. I was. When I saw him, I. What really almost got me to the laughter point of it is it's such a cartoon of a situation that when he comes over, he goes, hey, do you guys see Mas Volta? And it's like, no. Well, you don't see fenoia here. And, you know, when you ran off, I was like, I have to figure this out. So, no, I was just like, dude, you are a fucking piece. And it was like. It was the most earnestly. But like, I was just let. I said I was disappointed. No other word for it. I was so disappointed. I'm like, buddy, that was the most egotistical fucking thing I've ever witnessed you do. And I've seen you do a lot of wacky ego things, narcissistic, selfish behavior. And I go, that's fucking crazy what you did tonight, man.

[Big J Okerson]

But you were sitting down, looking up with this smirk. And he was like, what? No, he said he was good. I said. I said, are you good? And he said, I'm good.

[Christine]

What I said was, I go, josh, this is my favorite thing that I said of it. Go. Because I've never gotten used these terms before. I've done it before. I've done this thing before, so I know what the term is. And I go, josh, on this one, I go, this. Let's get it all clear. You started off, we had four tickets and four backstage passes from your best friend, the lead singer, Cedric, whose name I only know now because Josh said it's 30 times. Cedric was hooking us up with this. I said, I don't care about backstage passes, but those floor seats are great. And then when I knew we already had five people, I said, I'm buying four, and Josh is the fifth. So Josh is in because he knows the guy. And then Josh got. So I said, this started off with you getting four backstage passes, four floor seats, and ended in you getting two seats that you just left behind and fucked Mike over on. I go, I have you way over promised. You went from best friend, crazy, under delivered. I'm like, it's the most under delivering of things I've ever seen. You actually did nothing except make this harder and worse.

[Big J Okerson]

He was like, What? He went, no, I said I could. That's all I could. As he's eating his second burger.

[Christine]

But I just was like, as I said, I go, I want to enjoy the show. I need to enjoy this show. So stop talking, stop saying excuses and just say, you fucked up. You.

[Big J Okerson]

And I need you.

[Christine]

Yeah. He goes, you tell me you fucked up and we can continue this night and I can go enjoy the show. But I can't sit here and have you do a bunch of. Well, I thought. But he said, and you do. You fucked up royally. And he goes, I fucked up. And then. Then what he did was adorable and funny, was then he stood.

[Robert Kelly]

Well, we found there was a guy there that he knew that was in the pit.

[Christine]

Like, ish.

[Robert Kelly]

Ish. Yeah. So he.

[Christine]

So he started talking to the guy. And then just like that guy wasn't even talking to him anymore. Josh just kept like a 10 yards to the left of us and sort of in front of us thing that by like the sixth or seventh song, I just messaged. I text them. I see him in his phone, just sad, face down.

[Big J Okerson]

Yeah.

[Christine]

Probably trying to text Fenoy, who ain't hearing it, and I want to hear it. And he's probably. And I just text him. I go, hey, dick face, stop self quarantining, you pansy. Like, come stand with us, you fucking dope.

[Robert Kelly]

Why is that? I go, josh put himself on punishment.

[Christine]

Yeah, yeah, I'll be over here. Well, that's the problem. And he shouldn't do this. Cause this is a bad move too. And this is another life lesson I think you could do. And I think we're all guilty of it. But I'm just saying, I saw it third party. Cause if you recall, Bobby, I think you said something about that. He did the immediate. He's like. He's like, I fucked up. And I was like, all right, good. Let's go watch the show. And this is it. That's it. I don't wanna talk about it anymore tonight. And he was just like, I'm a fucking bad piece. I'm a bad person. I'm a piece. And you're like, stop doing that. You're trying to get us to all go. You're not. You're not.

[Big J Okerson]

Now you're the victim.

[Christine]

I love you.

[Big J Okerson]

No, that's it.

[Christine]

It's like, we all love you, buddy, but you fucking whiffed hard tonight.

[Big J Okerson]

D. The one thing I. Mike.

[Christine]

Mike probably doesn't love you.

[Big J Okerson]

Can I say something? I'm gonna say this right now. The one thing I even with my son. I go, listen, when you fuck up, just own it. I do not want to deal with this forever. I want you to own it. Try not to do it again. And let's go do what we were doing. I don't want to have this an all day thing where we got to just own it.

[Christine]

You start. You had to pull off on a walk to Kiss to talk to Max.

[Big J Okerson]

Yep.

[Christine]

You didn't like what he was doing on the walk over. You're like, we're going to get right back into the group and start walking like this isn't happening or we're getting out of here.

[Big J Okerson]

That's right. We're going to walk the fuck away or you're going to get your shit together. And he did. And that's it.

[Christine]

We didn't even know what. We didn't even know what was going on. That's the Afro lady, buddy.

[Big J Okerson]

Is that.

[Christine]

She's standing. I mean her head is just blocking the band. Exactly.

[Robert Kelly]

That's a great picture.

[Big J Okerson]

I was sitting there. I was in a.

[Christine]

There's a ghost of Patrice saying, you shouldn't have been there.

[Big J Okerson]

That's Patrice's mom. Why are you here, Bobby? Why don't you call me buddy. I was enjoying at this moment of the time. I felt like I was on drugs. Because this band. It's very trippy. And I was like. I had my hoodie on. I put it on because I had. I stuck my little things in my ears because I don't. I didn't bring plugs. And people were throwing drinks. And the worst thing you water or whatever liquid on your head as a bald guy is. I would have been disgusted. I would have to leave. So I put my hoodie on. And then. And I was embarrassed because I had my strings in my ears. I don't want to be that guy. And I went into some mode and I was just kind of rocking out. This woman ran in front of me. Stopped directly in front of me right like that. And I was infuriated.

[Christine]

Why? And I moved you.

[Big J Okerson]

If I had a razor I would have just shaved the middle of her afro so I could see right through it.

[Christine]

Just make a little tunnel. Like Wile E. Coyote. Yeah.

[Big J Okerson]

Like when they put the wires up for the telephone through the force.

[Christine]

Josh should know. The most heard. And Lou. I think you've been to several concert. Me now.

[Big J Okerson]

Yeah.

[Christine]

And the most hurt. Now. Lou's concert was funny. We went to was the one that I. He was showing me the ropes. A bit of. Of Pearl Jam. But I'm saying, for the most part, the thing I say most when I. Especially when I organize or I have an idea. Let's all go to Metallica. Let's all go to whatever. Is that what you're gonna hear most? And probably to a point where you're gonna be like, I wish Jay would just relax and enjoy himself. But you're gonna hear me go many times. Everybody good?

[Big J Okerson]

Yeah.

[Christine]

You can see here. Are you guys sitting right behind us? Let's see if the people right behind us will. Will switch with your seats. I can't calm down until, like, everybody, buddy. We're just two rows away off to the right. I go, I don't want to point at you from far away. We're all supposed to be here in this thing.

[Big J Okerson]

I know.

[Christine]

So, like, it. It bothers me.

[Big J Okerson]

I know.

[Christine]

I feel like. To be like, I left Mike up there with his thumb up his butt. You're probably fine with that, right?

[Big J Okerson]

You mixed your worlds, dude. You got to stop mixing your worlds.

[Christine]

We're all comedians. We're all supposed to be the good people, know how to act and behave.

[Robert Kelly]

I give Joe, you know, I gave Josh a second talking to that night when he came over.

[Big J Okerson]

Yeah, he came over your house after.

[Robert Kelly]

That, when he came over from his punishment.

[Big J Okerson]

Oh, yeah.

[Robert Kelly]

I was talking to him, and I was just like, Josh. I go, this is what I don't understand. I go, you didn't even like. I go, nobody reached out to us. I go, mike's not gonna reach out to us. I'm like, you didn't even text us. I go, why didn't you just buy two tickets and go, well, we'll figure it out after. Yeah, why would you. I've never think of that.

[Christine]

Hung Josh out to.

[Robert Kelly]

In fact, we would have just taken care.

[Christine]

And by the way, I will say Josh has paid for tickets that we've. The three of us have gone to before. I've done it. Definitely more. But it's not even a pissing contest of that. That it's like just in the fact that we do that for each other. Like, just do it.

[Robert Kelly]

Just do it.

[Christine]

You know, I will sort it out. Josh, you've bought tickets and then go, I just. I panicked. We were going to lose them. So I got tickets, and they're $400 a piece. And I go, I'll give you $400 a piece. Like, we do want to go, so who cares?

[Robert Kelly]

I go to not. I go to not. Just think of it in that sense. And I go, you're like, an excited puppy. You were just like, Mars Volta. Mars Volta. Mars Volt. And you ran off. I go, what was that?

[Christine]

I wish I had a camera in the room for the 50th time that Josh texted Cedric. And Cedric goes. He looks at his phone, he goes, josh, oh, my God, dude. What? Like, I got your tickets. What? And then have to look. Yeah. And be like, I don't know, man. I told them, floor. I can't. We're playing at the Madison Square Garden in five seconds, you fucking weirdo.

[Robert Kelly]

That's why I said I go. This is why I go. The performers, like, knowing somebody's assistant is so much better than knowing the performer.

[Big J Okerson]

Could you imagine going on at the Garden and then looking down at your stupid phone? I thought you said four. Four seats. It's only two seats regular.

[Christine]

I toured with Corn all that time. Yeah, they're doing MetLife Stadium. Yeah, I'm talking Ray. I said the drummer might come tonight. The story wars with his wife. I've known him for years because we have so many people going. I'm not even wasting my time going, can you get me four for the MetLife with System of Down, I'm just gonna buy him.

[Big J Okerson]

And you know what?

[Christine]

He's gonna buy him because 19 people we know are going.

[Big J Okerson]

You know, everyone's doing because of that. Thank you, Jay. He's going, thank you. Because he. But the last thing he wants to.

[Christine]

Deal with is if I go forward, he's gonna go. It's four tickets. Same thing as Mars Volta. Technically. Korn's opening. It's a co headline, but the big thing is, like, System of a Down never tours. They never played again. So it's them. Korn always tours, so it's awesome. You're gonna get to see fucking Korn in this arena and them. So ask him for four tickets. Might just be like. It's also the only shows they're playing with System of A Down. So he might have a thousand other people more important in his life than me that want this. So I'll go. Everyone's gonna be on the floor. It's very simple. I'm not asking for a good seat. I don't have to get the best available seats from CAA and buy them like that. Just buy Floor T. Doesn't matter. Everyone's on the floor. So it's nice and easy and I don't have to bother anybody easier.

[Big J Okerson]

Is Josh going?

[Robert Kelly]

Yes.

[Christine]

Come on, dude.

[Robert Kelly]

You guys probably not gonna want to come.

[Big J Okerson]

Is Fenoya going?

[Christine]

I mean, I want him to.

[Big J Okerson]

He's not gonna.

[Christine]

Well, he's not gonna rely on Josh. That's for Goddamn.

[Big J Okerson]

He's not gonna sit next to Josh either.

[Christine]

Jesus H. Dude, listen, man.

[Big J Okerson]

He's got a.

[Robert Kelly]

But he did. He really did feel bad.

[Christine]

Oh, yeah.

[Robert Kelly]

It's not like he ended this being like, how many?

[Christine]

No, he wasn't like.

[Robert Kelly]

He's like, I up.

[Christine]

He was too self loathing.

[Big J Okerson]

But did he call Mike?

[Christine]

He tried.

[Big J Okerson]

He tried.

[Christine]

Yeah.

[Big J Okerson]

And Mike didn't pick up.

[Christine]

I don't think so.

[Robert Kelly]

You're right. It was like the empty bowl thing. It was like after Mars Volta, he was able to be like, oh, I guess that was bad of me.

[Christine]

He tried to call Mike that night and we tried to call Mike to laugh at Josh over.

[Big J Okerson]

Oh, we wanted to really spill some tea.

[Christine]

And then he was going right to voicemail. I was like, Dan. He said. He was like, yeah, dude, I just went home. Even like, Lisa was like, you're coming home now. What happened? He's like, I really don't want to get. He's like, I don't want to get anything. I just got Josh. It didn't work out.

[Big J Okerson]

Lisa had to tell the construction guy to leave. He's coming home now. You got to get out of here.

[Christine]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Big J Okerson]

I talked him out. He was in the backyard all day doing your job.

[Christine]

I mean, dude, literally, Mike just went out and did yard work and felt sad. Wow. Robert Kelly. Yeah, punch up that live slash. Robert Kelly.

[Big J Okerson]

Come see me at the mothership next week. Tonight, tonight, if you're around. Guess what?

[Christine]

Come see Bobby.

[Big J Okerson]

We got court headline cows on it. We got Louis J. Gomez. I believe, if I'm not mistaken, the great big joker. So be on the show tonight. 7:00 and then story wars right after.

[Christine]

Right afterwards. I'm in Atlanta this weekend. They second half of the Crowdworks special is coming at 4:20, everybody. It's right around the corner. We're premiering it at Moon Tower. Bobby might be over there as a little part of that.

[Big J Okerson]

I'm gonna be there. We'll be doing the Mothership.

[Christine]

And Bobby's rerelease of Live from the Village Underground now streaming on Punch Up Live Faux free.

[Big J Okerson]

Make sure you. You know, it's great that we can just do this anywhere. Turn on the mics and me and you just have a good time.

[Christine]

It is what it is.

[Big J Okerson]

It is what it is.

[Robert Kelly]

Laundromat show.

[Christine]

Yeah. Yeah, let's do it. Yeah, I know. Lou. Stop freaking the fuck out. Nashville. We're gonna miss you. We love you. Thank you for letting us use these studios. Christine thinks they're pieces of shit, but me and Bobby like them alike. You think they suck? You said they stink.

[Big J Okerson]

They're terrible.

[Christine]

I'm sorry you said they're terrible, but I liked it.

[Big J Okerson]

I have to turn my head.

[Christine]

God forbid LA is gay and better. Love you guys. We're back from New York on Monday.
