Okerson and Robert Kelly.
Jay Oakerson
Save me. Hang on, Bobby. I couldn't hear what you said because Lou once again disrespected you and didn't turn your microphone on at the right time.
Robert Kelly
I did. Well, what did I do? Dude, I put it up exactly the same time.
Jay Oakerson
As soon as you put on your.
Robert Kelly
Headphones, your mic goes up. I thought it was as soon as Jay puts on his headphones, the mics go up. Yeah, that too.
Big Jay Oakerson
Are you sure this isn't Will?
Jay Oakerson
No, I'm sure. I know. Because he has the evil mustache. No, no. This is because he now has a black body sitting on that face now.
Big Jay Oakerson
So, my bro. No.
Jay Oakerson
Hell yeah. Yeah. Lou's got a black girlfriend. Well, he called her African American.
Big Jay Oakerson
Lou always has an ethnic girl, though.
Robert Kelly
That's right.
Jay Oakerson
Straight up.
Big Jay Oakerson
He's a man of seasoning.
Jay Oakerson
I know he's almost see through white, but this guy is never, ever rhyme.
Robert Kelly
Or reason to it. I don't know.
Jay Oakerson
He's making sure if he has a baby, this thing's coming out with some flavor. Not just a ball of freckle. A goddamn ball of freckles.
Robert Kelly
I was at the Cellar last night and they had to kick some girl Chappelle was on.
Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
So they had a drag some proportionately fat white chick out.
Jay Oakerson
Why?
Robert Kelly
Because she was just going, that's not funny. That wasn't good either. Okay, she wasn't really. She was heckling in such a weird.
Jay Oakerson
But was she a critic? Who do you work for? Comedy Weekly.
Robert Kelly
It was Jordan Jensen. She was a fellow comedian Variety. I don' like that one.
Jay Oakerson
So she was telling us about not good, not good.
Robert Kelly
Just kept going. That wasn't, that wasn't funny.
Jay Oakerson
Did he go back and forth with her?
Robert Kelly
No. Amy Schumer, they dragged her out and she was out front. Like, what? I, I, I don't understand when you get caught or you get kicked out, what the process is when you go, what? I was just saying, I didn't, like.
Jay Oakerson
If you're getting kicked out of a place, I'm never blown away. They don't understand why they're kicked out. And I said, my favorite's always been kicked out for laughing. That's also, it's also the worst when it's fans who get kicked out and then you go outside and they're telling you, kicked out for laughing. And I am such a pushover in that regard. I don't believe them for two seconds. But I just sandbag the club completely and go, I know, man. They're like sticks up their ass in there. I don't know what it is. Like, they don't even want people laughing anymore. It's like. I know. I agree. I've been, I've been saying to them, I go, yeah, you guys gotta stop kicking people out for laughing. But, like, policies are policies.
Robert Kelly
There are some people that go. And the comedy cockblock laugh where they just want to make it about them. Where every joke right at the end, they go like this.
Jay Oakerson
Whoever's talk, whoever is saying that outside of a comedy club to security was not doing that at all. That's not what they were doing at all. Oh, no. I almost choked the dog. Oh, God. Oh, God.
Robert Kelly
He killed Marcus's dog. As you were telling a story.
Marcus King
I did this.
Robert Kelly
Did you ever kick somebody out?
Marcus King
Kick somebody out of a show?
Robert Kelly
Yeah. Do you ever look down and go, get them out. Get out of here.
Marcus King
Get that one right there. Now, my band has. Because they, they kind of look at the audience. I don't look out. I don't, I don't see so good, you know? And I keep these shades on so I can't see very far in front of me anyway, because it just distracts.
Robert Kelly
So tonight, when I think you're looking at me, it's not happening.
Marcus King
I might, I might be able to see y'all tonight. Yeah.
Jay Oakerson
Because it's a smaller Marcus over here. And then in between songs and in between song songs, I'm gonna go, that's not even funny. That's no, get your hands off me. It's not funny, Marcus. Yeah.
Marcus King
We had A couple last night that were trying to engage a little too much.
Robert Kelly
No. Yeah. Well, you mean engage. What do they do to. I know what they do to us, but what do they do to a singer?
Big Jay Oakerson
Here's our keys. Come to our room.
Marcus King
Yeah. I mean. Yeah. They wanted me to do the Michael Jackson tune last night and started singing the chorus. They start. I mean, Chris, Dave's on drums, and he can be very menacing if he needs to, so he just kind of stopped playing and just, like, stared, you know. You know, the fucking fear of God into this guy's.
Jay Oakerson
That's crazy. When the drummers just start staring at you.
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Jay Oakerson
Fucking drummer staring at you so far away.
Marcus King
Very disapproving look like a teacher would give.
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Jay Oakerson
Did you ever see John Cougar Mellencamp go through it with the audience?
Marcus King
No, but I can imagine that's pretty rough.
Big Jay Oakerson
John Cougar has a hard time with the audience.
Jay Oakerson
I love John Cougar Mellencamp so much. From my childhood, even. I just love the songs, so many of them. But he. His engagement with the audience is brutal. The show I went to, they were already. The crowd. We talked about this. The crowd was already like, they're heckling. But because they just wanted to play music. Because he goes on. I mean, no exaggeration. Seven minute rants between songs about stories that are completely fictitious.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Jay Oakerson
And not real at all.
Marcus King
Sucking down chili dogs.
Jay Oakerson
Not even. It was just. The one. Was what we played a couple times, but the one was about a girl. About a girl who came. And by the way, he chose. So he's overselling, by the way. And again, he's been famous for too long to do this. He's overselling the. I don't know, big money celebrity anyway, you know.
Marcus King
All right.
Jay Oakerson
She's like. I remember I was out in LA one time with my. A bunch of my agents and the record company people. I don't know. They got me out of some house manager. He goes, some. They take me out of some fancy steakhouse.
Robert Kelly
My assistant was with me, and her assistant was with her.
Jay Oakerson
And my stylist. And my stylist was there, but he goes, yeah. And he's like. He's like. I don't know. We're having, like, fillet mignon. I don't even know what you call this stuff.
Marcus King
Oh, yeah. Just like that. Willing ignorance.
Robert Kelly
That's my favorite steak, by the way.
Jay Oakerson
He goes, you know me, guys. I just. I'd rather kill it myself and eat it. But that's not my coveralls. He Says he saw a girl.
Big Jay Oakerson
He looks like Dewey Cox.
Jay Oakerson
Oh, yeah. Well, this is about this to be the funny one, but when we saw. He says he saw. It tells a story. He saw a girl and outside. And she kept walking back and forth. Looked like panicking. She was kind of talking to herself. So he went outside. Hey, sweetheart, what's wrong? Right there. And she's like, you know, running around and saying something. I'm far from home and I don't know what this and that. He calm down, sweetheart. How about I. I'll give you a little bit of money and you can get yourself a bus ticket home. And then she said to me, they don't want me there. And the crowd goes like, aw. I said, baby, somebody wants you there. And she goes, I just need money to eat and it's way longer than this. And he goes. So eventually I gave her $20 and she snatched it out of my hand so quick. And she just ran off across the street.
Robert Kelly
20 bucks.
Jay Oakerson
And as she ran off, she turned around and said, thanks, mister. She goes, thanks, mister. Now I don't have to suck dick for dinner tonight.
Robert Kelly
And he went, no, that's 20. Suck my dick for that.
Jay Oakerson
He goes, I'm have to actually have a better business bureau hit you up if you don't get back over here.
Robert Kelly
And this new song is called she Sucked My dick for a 20. Oh, my God, 20 bucks.
Jay Oakerson
But he's. But her yelling out, I don't have to suck dick now for my dinner tonight. It's like, this didn't happen. Your fancy Asian dinner. You went outside to get the girls enough to suck.
Robert Kelly
And by the way, she did suck a dick for a little extra.
Marcus King
Yeah.
Jay Oakerson
She's like, why not? You know what? You can never have too much money. Who ever said that?
Robert Kelly
Exactly.
Marcus King
You can burn through 20 bucks at taco Bell pretty quick.
Jay Oakerson
I mean, we could. God damn right.
Robert Kelly
I mean, 20 bucks at a Taco Bell lasts a month.
Jay Oakerson
Taco Bell. You always order Taco Bell. We're always going back to fat shit Taco Bell. When I feel like you order a Taco Bell is a tasting menu. Are you familiar with the term tasting menu? You're not going to eat all the thing, but you get three chicken soft Taco Supremes. Because that's what that order is.
Robert Kelly
Well, that's what the maddest I've ever got at you is when we, we did that show. We did that. We were doing that college tour and you're like, you're like, can we stop and get food and I was like, I just want to go home. And you're like, there's a taco. Was it Taco Bell?
Jay Oakerson
No, no, no. It was Wendy's, which is funnier.
Robert Kelly
Would you. You got.
Jay Oakerson
I know. I know what I got.
Robert Kelly
And we pulled up. Oh, you tell it. I'm so. It makes me mad to.
Jay Oakerson
We left a strip club in New. And we were driving back. Yeah. Maybe that night. We were gonna try to stay up. So we were like, let's get some food before we hit the road from North Carolina. And we. We go through a Wendy's. And Bobby gets excited. Now Bobby's not. I didn't know Bobby had a weight issue at this point. He looked fantastic. I tell you, the colleges, they were throwing it at him.
Robert Kelly
I looked fantastic. But fat was always inside of him.
Jay Oakerson
What I don't realize is when I get Bobby to. And Bobby, by the way, plays the card the whole time of like, you know, it's definitely rolling on to me. It's like, okay, I guess I gotta feed this fat kid or he's gonna not be able to drive or whatever. Well, that was.
Robert Kelly
That was a fact, too. No, no, that did weigh into it. I had to feed the fat kids when you drive.
Jay Oakerson
Absolutely it did. You gotta feed fat or else it won't drive.
Robert Kelly
I gotta keep your blood sugar up.
Jay Oakerson
I'm trying to probably. Cause I don't even remember this being a time in my life where I'm thinking about my weight too much, other than just being sad that I'm overweight, but not really overthinking. It's probably crushing Wendy's. It's making that happen. But I didn't think like that. But I think I was trying to. Maybe you don't want to be the fat guy eating when the handsome guy who just everyone was winging ass at is not gonna eat shitty. But what Bobby's thinking is, this is my excuse to go eat like a little fatso. And. And I'm gonna be like, well, Jay wanted to get Wendy, so we had to get Wendy's. But I don't eat like this all the time. So Bobby puts his order in, and then they ask. They go. And, you know. And for you. We're in a drive through, and I go, I'm gonna get the taco salad. And they're like, okay, one taco salad, extra sour cream. And they go, okay. And then we drove around. And Bob, I didn't even know. I'm, like, looking at the drive through thing, and then I drive forward and turn around And Bobby is burning a hole in my neck, staring at me because he was like a fucking taco.
Robert Kelly
And I was like, I'm so mad.
Jay Oakerson
I was gonna go, are you gonna.
Marcus King
Eat that while driving?
Jay Oakerson
No, we pulled over so we could, like, drive. We ate it in the. In the. In the drive or the garage there, parking lot. But, man, it was his fate. He was so upset. And then the question was the meanest question anyone's ever asked me before. In his eyes, I go, yeah, Bobby, I don't always just eat, like, the shittiest food. He goes, well, then how did that happen? No hand motions. No whatever. He scanned me with his eyes, and he meant all.
Robert Kelly
I terminated him, and he meant all of that.
Jay Oakerson
He meant all of it. And how did this whole problem happen? Yeah.
Robert Kelly
And then I saw Monster's Ball, and I found out you were hiding chocolate under your pillow.
Marcus King
Oh, my God.
Robert Kelly
You have snack stashes around the house. Didn't they, like, forget your sour cream? Oh, yes. Oh, they forgot his extra sour cream. And we were pulling away, and he's like, just the fattest. My sour cream's not in here.
Jay Oakerson
And I'm like, you see, I can't have Mexican food without sour cream.
Robert Kelly
I mean, we had to go back around. So mad.
Jay Oakerson
We have. Is this the John Cougar? This is what. So what happened was he's always in these kind of like. Like. And people are starting to heckle him a lot more because they're just. And they're really heckling with, like, Jack and Diane, dude, sing the song. Like, get to the thing. And he's just getting frustrated. I guess it's like, getting out there enough that he just bails.
Robert Kelly
Does it. Nobody tells him. Like, nobody tells. If he's at that story was like, she's. Now I have to suck the dick for the 20 from $20. If he just went right into that song, I sucked a dick for $20. Yeah, that'd be great now.
Jay Oakerson
No, he doesn't. He goes. He goes, this next song's about that. And then he plays a song from a long time ago. That's not the case of that at all. No.
Robert Kelly
Sucking D20. It's not titled suck a dick for 20.
Jay Oakerson
No, no, no, no. He's like, oh, yeah. He goes, this song's about that. When the wall crumbling down in the wall.
Robert Kelly
I mean, it was fun to see him play, but it really just went on and on and on. You're like, but the Beacon.
Jay Oakerson
They were just like. A bunch of people were like, come.
Robert Kelly
On, how Funny, they see Marcus in between each song. He's like, I want to tell you about this time I had today.
Marcus King
Well, you know, like, we've been doing this acoustic tour, me and my other guitar player, Drew Smithers, and I do, like, take a little time to stretch out and I'll tell stories like that pertain to the song, you know, like this one time in Printer's Alley, I saw this, like, ghost or fucking demon or, like, whatever you want to call it, like, had no face kind of thing.
Robert Kelly
Jay doesn't believe in any of it.
Marcus King
And I wrote this song about it with Dan Arabic. I mean, it's cool, but, like, you tell a story that pertains to it. But, yeah, I could see him telling a story that has absolutely fucking nothing to do with the song.
Jay Oakerson
This guy just needs a friend in the world. No one's talking to him because he wants to get these stories out. And he tells the same stories every night. The girl the stories change from. I don't have to fuck tonight for money or for dinner. I don't have to suck dick. Was the one time the story changed because it's, like, part of the set. It's belaboring and fucking terrible.
Marcus King
He seems like a grandstander.
Jay Oakerson
It's too much. Yeah, I've heard from Runners. It makes him very unlikable in that regard. But I said the songs were great. He still sounds good.
Robert Kelly
With Jack and Diane, he did a weird. And you're like, jack and Diane, Why would you take my childhood away from me?
Jay Oakerson
Huh?
Robert Kelly
Are you talking to Jay?
Big Jay Oakerson
Is it Diane and Diane now?
Jay Oakerson
Go ahead, play. This is great, by the way. Stage meltdowns are fantastic.
Marcus King
You know, you showed me last time.
Jay Oakerson
Well, we're friends with. With Chris Kale. Five Finger Death Punch.
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Jay Oakerson
Fiverr Day Punch has the. One of the most famous. Like, I want to say it's Charlotte, maybe north. It's. I forget the city. It was Memphis. It's the Memphis Meltdown. It's called where he was trashed on stage, Ivan, before he got sober. And he's just being. He's pissing them off so much, the whole band, individual one at a time, just leaves the stage. And then he really has, like. He goes over the drums like, I don't care. I don't know about myself. Blah, blah, blah, blah. He's like wailing drums. It's like, holy. Hey, did you know.
Robert Kelly
Did you hear Rob Dukes is back in Exodus?
Jay Oakerson
I did hear that news, and I held on to it for three days.
Robert Kelly
He's back in Exodus.
Jay Oakerson
It's amazing. He's back on today, our friend Rob Dukes.
Robert Kelly
Congratulations, brother.
Jay Oakerson
Hell, yeah.
Robert Kelly
He's so excited. He's going on tour with a case or something. No, no, the. The old lead singer didn't just.
Jay Oakerson
No, he was the lead Singer years ago. 10 years ago.
Robert Kelly
He's the Wall of Death guy. You ever see that video, the Wall of Death video, where he keeps some crowd on that side and he's like, wait, wait. When I want. When I go, I want you to kill them. And he makes them wait and wait. And then he goes. They just go boom. And they just murder each other. I think everybody died, right?
Jay Oakerson
That was a.
Robert Kelly
There it is. Is this it right here? It is right here. This is one of the greatest things.
Marcus King
Yeah, they all have that look. That's like. It's really hard to put it.
Jay Oakerson
There you go. Right?
Marcus King
It's really hard to explain that they're not Neo Nazis. No, no, no.
Jay Oakerson
It's very difficult.
Robert Kelly
He's kind of a liberal, you know.
Jay Oakerson
We're good friends with Jamie Josta. Jamie just hate. Hate breeds the band. Right. It's. It's all positive lyrics. It's all. It's like. It's funny. However. Yeah, but I. For sure. I mean, how do you get. Like. The signage looks like it's like written like. Like Nazi propaganda.
Big Jay Oakerson
Is hate brief Brody King, the professional wrestler or. No. Do you not know?
Jay Oakerson
No, no, no. Oh, like music. They come out.
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Jay Oakerson
I don't know.
Big Jay Oakerson
No. Well, he's a professional wrestler who. He sings for a hardcore band. Like, lead sings.
Jay Oakerson
Oh, really?
Marcus King
Yeah, well, you know, like these. These metal crowds and, you know, this, like, they're the most accepting. Just warm.
Jay Oakerson
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Marcus King
We'll bum you a cigarette and talk and just hang.
Robert Kelly
I'll tell you what.
Marcus King
Open minded.
Robert Kelly
I was so scared when we went to see Slipknot.
Marcus King
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
Because I brought my son and I was terrified because everybody's talking about the Wall of Death or something. He was already disappointed.
Marcus King
Cherub faces like me and sweethearts.
Robert Kelly
He told me, he's like, you don't have to worry about it. They have, like, weird rules that they go by and it was fine. It was one of the funnest concerts I've ever been to with my kid.
Jay Oakerson
Oh, yeah.
Robert Kelly
It was a little. I was a little nervous.
Jay Oakerson
We went to Pantera and Louis J. Gomez. Peacemaking. 2Dads fighting was one of the funniest things I've ever been a part of.
Big Jay Oakerson
Lewis made pe.
Marcus King
Yeah.
Jay Oakerson
It was the strangest thing, by the way. None of these guys wanted a piece.
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Jay Oakerson
Lewis would keep finding them and wrist holding them over to each other and be like, shake hands and stop it, guys. Pantera is not about that. And then the guys would shake hands because, Louis, they thought Lewis was intimidating them somehow. They're like, all right. And then they would be like, now stand next to each other and enjoy Pantera. And then they would just gleam at each other like they hated each other still. It didn't make any sense. Just the wall of death.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, this is it right here.
Jay Oakerson
We do this at Skankfest every year.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, this was nuts.
Big Jay Oakerson
Game line, Mike. Game line, Mike.
Jay Oakerson
Cold.
Robert Kelly
I mean, this is thousands upon thousands of people. We should do that tonight at the Blue Note.
Marcus King
At the Blue Note wall.
Jay Oakerson

Robert Kelly
You should do that.
Jay Oakerson
For the softest ballad, but just in the middle and be like, hey, guys, I'm gonna need you guys to separate side to side over here. When I say go. When the song kicks back in, it.
Marcus King
May be applicable, like, during the most. Just like, avant garde, like, you know, fully. Just, like, freedom of expression, jazz moment. Just to have people just go nuts on each other.
Jay Oakerson
Oh, absolutely. That's what I almost think. What's like, the. In, like. Because your music's, what, blues, bluegrass, country?
Marcus King
I mean, I do a little bit of everything, but, like, playing with these guys, playing with Chris, Dave, and he played with Got Erykah Badu everybody. I mean, he's like, whenever. Yeah, you know.
Jay Oakerson
Yeah, I heard of her.
Marcus King
He played drums on the Mood Swings record with me. He's like Rick Rubin's go to guy for drums, but, you know, he's like one of the most OG cats, and he's just super cool. So we're playing, like, more like jazz fusion, neo soul kind of stuff, A little bit of everything. And you guys know mono Neon bass player. I mean, mono neon's just from a different planet, man.
Jay Oakerson
Bobby was so. Bobby was so happy that I said no first before he had to tell you. He doesn't know who that is. You just got to stare forward and be like, sorry. Sorry for Jay not knowing.
Marcus King
I mean, if you don't know mono neon, man, you got to check him out. He's such a. I mean, he's. He's a wild cat. I mean, you guys will meet him tonight.
Robert Kelly
It just bothers me. The Jay literally said what I was thinking as soon as you said mononia.
Marcus King
And I looked down, he knows.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, I was expecting to eat the.
Jay Oakerson
You know, that is. I'm unfamiliar, I guess. Bobby does know though. Christine, can you please bring up John Cougar Mellon King.

You have the microphone. You have anything to. To be the cooler one in the situation for sure. Even if you're. There's been times where I'm nervous, where the person in the audience who's, like, getting. Where it's getting heated and they're like, why don't you meet me outside? And you're like. And you could. I know I could say the things that. It's like if I go outside, even if you say those words. I've said that before. Well, if I go outside, you might win the fight. But in here, I'm annihilating you. And then let security take him out and you can still look cool without even have to do too much of anything. This does not hold cool at all. Because doesn't he start. He's like, replace me. He goes, shut up, man. So where was I? You know what? I don't even care.
Robert Kelly
And all those people, first of all, because they meet.
Jay Oakerson
No, they're like, yeah, they're all thinking.
Robert Kelly
The same exact thing.
Jay Oakerson
100 they were.
Robert Kelly
I went into the cell last night and Pete Lee was there. And he, you know, he's did the whole story about his house burning down on the Tonight Show.
Jay Oakerson
Fake.
Robert Kelly
And no, he. He was renting. It wasn't his house he was renting. Shut up, buddy.
Jay Oakerson
Shut the fuck up.
Robert Kelly
I walked in last night, he's sitting there. I went, you were renting? He's like, yes.
Jay Oakerson
Fucking crazy.
Robert Kelly
But he. He goes, yeah, but I mean, it was. My stuff was in there. I go, some of it. I go. I go.
Jay Oakerson
He goes, yeah, all your favorite stuff is with you on the road right now because you can wear it.
Robert Kelly
I go. He goes, I was living there. I go, yeah, but I gave you your house compassion. If I knew you were renting, that's a different level of compassion I would have gave you.
Marcus King
Absolutely.
Robert Kelly
Because all you have to do.
Jay Oakerson
What's your landlord's number? Let me compass that guy.
Robert Kelly
Let me give what I give you. Let me give it to that guy. Because all you have to do is rent a new place.
Jay Oakerson
What a Jag off.
Robert Kelly
And I'll tell you.
Jay Oakerson
I'll send for my things. I'm just kidding. Keep my security deposit.
Robert Kelly
Rosebud Baker and every other like. Bobby, how could you? I'm like, shut the. You guys think the same thing. I'm the only one saying it.
Jay Oakerson
Everyone was like, how brave he was to go unfound after he lost some of his stuff.
Robert Kelly
Yeah. And then he goes. He go.
Jay Oakerson
He's like, oh, no. All of my saved PlayStation games. Oh, I could just log in.
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Jay Oakerson
It'll shoot it all to my new PlayStation.
Robert Kelly
You know what?
Jay Oakerson
Actually, I'm good.
Robert Kelly
All my.
Jay Oakerson
My DVR. Oh, that's all in Hulu.
Robert Kelly
And I love how all the stuff that he lost is like, rich white guy. My Tesla. Relax. You get me. Get another Tesla. You.
Jay Oakerson
All of my super fitted button down shirts. Yeah.
Robert Kelly
Not one of it was like my. My rosary bead for my grandma that she gave me before she died.
Jay Oakerson
None of it's that. I know. None of it was that.
Robert Kelly
That.
Jay Oakerson
All my trophies for my serial kills.
Robert Kelly
It's my.
Jay Oakerson
No. My box of ponytails.
Robert Kelly
It's my cue cards for my. It's my cue cards for my 20th Fallon show.
Big Jay Oakerson
Not the child porn.
Jay Oakerson
No. All my homie snuff.
Robert Kelly
It was. They were so mad at me around the table.
Jay Oakerson
I'm like, they're wrong and you're right.
Robert Kelly
All of sellers change.
Jay Oakerson
You heard it here first. It's run by monsters who don't know how to control their own comics. It's a zoo in that goddamn place. And no one has any sense of what's right or wrong anymore except Bobby Kelly.
Robert Kelly
Thank you.
Jay Oakerson
Out of here with fucking my rental house. You got on Fallon with that? They didn't mention that at all. He goes, I was just running. He goes, yeah, my home. He even says this at one point. He goes, look, I'm not rich. It was a modest home. It was someone else's home. You called another person's home modest home, you piece of shit.
Robert Kelly
He fucked it at the end of. This is where I heard it, because I literally was like, I had my hand on his shoulder. That's. That's your house. Compassion.
Jay Oakerson
Yes.
Robert Kelly
And I physically touch you and go, you all right? When I say, you need anything, give me a call. That's your home. Compassion. If you were renting, I'd be like, dude, let me know you can stay at my house if you need to, or whatever. He. And then at the end of this, he says he fucks up and says his friend's house. It slipped out. And that's where I come. Yeah.
Jay Oakerson
Do you know where it's at, Christine?
Robert Kelly
No, I don't. This was just the picture that is right at the end. I caught it. I caught it. And I was like. My wife went. Because I was telling her the whole story. I go, he lost his house. He lost his. He lost all his stuff. And at the end, she went, he's renting.
Jay Oakerson
I like that we're taking unpopular opinion of Pete Lee and his fucking stuff. I know we're gonna. I know we're going against the grain here, but I think he's had it too good for too long, if I'm being honest.
Robert Kelly
I think so, too.
Jay Oakerson
The unpop. I like that. Was turning on you at a table. Nah, he's fine. He lost some.
Robert Kelly
Yeah. Other.
Big Jay Oakerson
His.
Robert Kelly
Most of his stuff's in storage.
Jay Oakerson
Most of it's in storage because he couldn't fit into his modest friend's house.
Big Jay Oakerson
That's actually Q from the impractical Jokers. It's all a goof.
Robert Kelly
And. And I wanted to tell you because I'm a huge fan of the Tonight show over history. Like, I've read books on it. I've been to museums.
Jay Oakerson
I want to say I love my high school yearbooks.
Robert Kelly
Impulse control. I think this might be too. There's still a minute left. You said it's the very end.
Big Jay Oakerson
Was that a dig at Jimmy?
Robert Kelly
No, it was. It was when he told the end of the story. So, yeah, I mean, I was watching this with full compassion. You lost your house, and I feel terrible.
Jay Oakerson
Not me, though.
Robert Kelly
And they show a picture of his friend's house that's not his.
Jay Oakerson
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Robert Kelly
My apartment broke down. I'd be pretty upset. Can I tell you who took that photo? The guy who owns that fucking house took that photo.
Jay Oakerson
Wait a second. Wait. No, that's where Pete was living, but it's just. It's not his.
Robert Kelly
That's. That's the guy. That's some other dude's house. Who we should call and talk to.
Jay Oakerson
We should talk to him about that. Oh, my God.
Robert Kelly
Unbelievable.
Jay Oakerson
Stolen valor.
Robert Kelly
Stolen valor. Stolen valor.
Jay Oakerson
You shouldn't say you lost your house during a tragedy. You didn't lose your house. You lost your stuff.
Robert Kelly
You lost some stuff. The other stuff was in storage and.
Jay Oakerson
You lost some stuff.
Robert Kelly
You still have stuff?
Jay Oakerson
Yeah, dude.
Big Jay Oakerson
You know, some people actually lost their children. They couldn't lift up. And he's complaining over stuff.
Jay Oakerson
I know.
Robert Kelly
Wow, that's terrible. He's gotta go, why couldn't they lift up a kid?
Jay Oakerson
He's gotta. He's gotta go to his storage and go like this. Blow some dust off and then go. All right, PlayStation 4. I guess we're going back to the Stone Age. Oh, slightly thicker television.
Robert Kelly
All right, first Rolex. I'll put you back on.
Jay Oakerson
All right, iPhone. What is a 14? There's not even Apple Intelligence at the update. Look at Christine just staring at Pete. And just look at her gleaming at him.
Robert Kelly
He specifically says, my house burned down. Yeah, he said, my house, my house. And then at the end, he says, I was renting.
Jay Oakerson
This is why he's laughing hysterically right now. I'm just kidding. I don't give a. Wow.
Robert Kelly
Crazy wow. Yeah.
Jay Oakerson
Rachael Ray. I'm sorry you have to hear things like that.
Robert Kelly
Her house went down.
Jay Oakerson
Yeah. Luckily she stayed behind and ate all the food as it was cooking in real time. What, are you gonna waste it? She's a cook now. This sick little palm tree stump fire is perfect for cooking a skirt steak. Where's my pets? Where are all my pets?
Big Jay Oakerson
If you can get part of that fire and put it low and slow, you'd make some nice barbecue.
Jay Oakerson
True that. Oh, yeah. You should open up a stand, by the way. You see, people? That was the first thing I saw today. They're calling the looters the people going through the rubble. I'm like, yeah, if that was all the rich people go through their rubble.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, yeah.
Jay Oakerson
There's a lot of stuff that held up. Yeah, There's a burnt up box full of Rolexes. Yeah, for sure. Out there. 100%, the box is all burnt up. But that those watches might be okay.
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Jay Oakerson
And Bobby, as you being a watchsmith, you could fix them yourself anyway. Christine.
Big Jay Oakerson
And aren't they like, gold? I don't know much about Rolexes. Aren't they all gold?
Robert Kelly
Not all of them. Some of them are stainless steel. But the higher end ones are. They call them precious metals. White gold, regular gold, and then the. The real mother motherfuckers is the platinum.
Jay Oakerson
See, I don't know about shit like that because me and Marcus are a couple as regular dudes at Decor. But sure, we're successful entertainers, but. And do we look the part? Yes.
Robert Kelly
I mean, I hate that you wore your shirt and didn't call me.
Jay Oakerson
We do look the part, but Rolex is. We're not really those kind of guys. We're more rustic.
Robert Kelly
You know what? Me and Christine bought you one for Christmas, so we'll return it since you don't need it.
Jay Oakerson
That's fine. I don't need that. Give it to the poor, right? Wait.
Robert Kelly
Marcus, do you want it?
Jay Oakerson
What would the kids get?
Big Jay Oakerson
I'm the poor. Give it to me.
Jay Oakerson
I just thought you were staying at Shane's. Why haven't you just robbed him blind? He's not gonna see a million dollars missing.
Robert Kelly
Just pull a TK Kirkland like on Eddie Murphy.
Jay Oakerson
He will not. I promise you, Shane will not see $1 million missing if you slowly siphon it out a little bit at a time.
Robert Kelly
Shane kicked him out.
Jay Oakerson
He didn't kick me out.
Big Jay Oakerson
He didn't kick me out.
Jay Oakerson
I kicked out because you were stealing less than a million. I told you, you got to take it one big shot if you're gonna get kicked out anyway. Dude. Take it one big shot. He's not gonna take you to court. How can you look at that? You can't look at that face in court and then press charges. He's gonna be like, it's only a million. He goes, it is only a million. Get out of here.
Robert Kelly
Look at my little sausage fingers. You.
Big Jay Oakerson
Dan Soder came over and he told me. He was like, once Shane gets a girlfriend and they move back, you're gonna have to go because, like, it'll be a whole nother problem. Like, it's a whole different set of problems if it was just, she's gonna.
Jay Oakerson
Be too hot for your big black cock. He's like, there's gonna Be a problem. I sleep in Shane's bed naked. And that's gonna be weird with his girlfriend being there.
Big Jay Oakerson
I mean. Yeah, but like. Yeah, it's just like another set of problems that I wouldn't want to deal with. So I just moved out.
Jay Oakerson
That's fair.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, he's got his own place now. He's a big boy.
Jay Oakerson
Nice. Good for you. That's great, dude.
Robert Kelly
Like 6th street area.
Jay Oakerson
No, I'm like Shane's pool house.
Robert Kelly
He's still in the backyard.
Jay Oakerson
He's tethered. He's tethered still. Can we. Can you. We haven't finished showing the John Mellon camp. It's so good. Before we have to go, we have to go here. Hang on.
Robert Kelly
I'm going to start it. Just let. Let it go.
Jay Oakerson
What do you think?
Robert Kelly
I need you.
Jay Oakerson
Here's the thing, man. You don't know me. You know, I like he has the reaction of teen out of control teens on Mari Povich. You don't know me.
Marcus King
Drunk wife energy right there.
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Jay Oakerson
First of all, I know. I also never realized that how he looks like if you were squinting your eyes. It's Josh. Adam Myers right there on that stage. Right there. Come on.
Robert Kelly
Is Josh not on T. Steroids or.
Jay Oakerson
Peptides, by the way? Also, when Josh does comedy, people yell out, just play your songs.
Marcus King
The anti cougs.
Robert Kelly
But it's so funny because it's the reverse. You don't know me. No. He's been following you for 40 years. You don't know him.
Jay Oakerson
I'm wildly aware of you.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, yeah.
Jay Oakerson
I just.
Robert Kelly
I spent $150 on you.
Jay Oakerson
Do you think I wandered in here?
Robert Kelly
What a shitty response. Hey, John, find this guy and let me see him after the show. Guys, I can stop this show right now and just go home.
Jay Oakerson
Yes. Let me see this guy after the show. All five foot one of John Cougar Mellon Camp, who's got eight songs about bragging what a good dancer he is. Not one says he kicks ass. He let you know. And he takes a lot of pictures where he's showing you his dance.
Marcus King
Sounds like Mark Marin and Almost Famous. Close the gate on these.
Jay Oakerson
Oh, here he goes. Great. He's gonna go. I could just leave.
Robert Kelly
Since you've been so wonderful, I'm gonna cut about 10 songs out of the show.
Jay Oakerson
Here we go.
Robert Kelly
Right to the hit.
Jay Oakerson
He's a closer.
Robert Kelly
Oh, no, no. Did he do that?
Jay Oakerson
Not to us.
Robert Kelly
No. I know.
Jay Oakerson
Reality left.
Robert Kelly
He just left.
Jay Oakerson
He just.
Big Jay Oakerson
You ever watch like a ruined orgasm? That's exactly that's gooning.
Jay Oakerson
Is that what gooning is?
Big Jay Oakerson
That's kind of seen a ruined orgasm.
Marcus King
It's like you're about category.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah. It's like you're about to come in and the girl's like, what punches you and shit.
Jay Oakerson
It's crazy.
Marcus King
Not a lot that could ruin mine.
Big Jay Oakerson
Well, I mean, it's like. It's like girls giving you the ick before you come. You're like, no, not right now. And you're like, fuck, it's too late, right? Yeah.
Robert Kelly
Jesus Christ.
Marcus King
What's that really great Lucy K thing he said about you could show me a picture of you, like, cutting my mother's head off? Like, after I come, we're gonna have a serious talk. I mean, I kind of subscribe to that.
Jay Oakerson
No doubt in the moment.
Marcus King
I mean, he didn't do anything cool or anything. He just started a little bit of that song.
Jay Oakerson
Because you know what? I'm done.
Robert Kelly
I mean, embarrassed.
Marcus King
How do you say something shitty and then start playing that song, Jay, you.
Robert Kelly
Should do that at one of your shows if somebody heckles you. You're like, yeah, you. What do you do for work?
Jay Oakerson
You know what?
Robert Kelly
I'm out.
Marcus King
You know what?
Robert Kelly
I'm out.
Jay Oakerson
Have you ever a black guy? No. Well, I'm happy to hear your parents are still. You know what, dude? I don't give a. I'm gonna be like this.
Robert Kelly
Yeah. Really marshmallow. Nope.
Marcus King
I mean, like. Like, Axl Rose did that really cool one where he's like, you know, thanks to you guys and this shitty security, I'm going home. And he likes the microphone and it feeds back. That wasn't cool at all.
Jay Oakerson
No. Well, also, when Sebastian Bach jumped in the audience, he did with, like, a feet first lunging kick. So that's pretty gay. Axl Rose dove head first into the audience.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, Jay, you had a heckler. You took care of that motherfucker, though.
Jay Oakerson
Sure did. But after I was yanked off of stage by my dainty ankles, I mean.
Marcus King
You were being built like. You could just wear, like, fucking compression shorts and a fur coat.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, I do imagine that. All the time.
Marcus King
Me and you, our wardrobe.
Robert Kelly
Fucking boa. I would get a boa and fucking some yoga pants. Are you out of your mind?
Jay Oakerson
I'm gonna talk to Sirius about getting all four of us on the show because we could probably do five straight hours just discussing the things of like. You're absolutely right. I don't necessarily want to wear that, but I want to be able to wear what Axl Rose is wearing. A fur vest and bike shorts and maybe some suspenders attached to that and still go backstage and have a complete 10 begged to suck my. My sweaty white biker shorted.
Big Jay Oakerson
That has to add to, like, the rage. Just because you're like, I'm ridiculous and you're not gonna listen to my.
Jay Oakerson
I know, right? I put. I dress like a for you guys. This is the worst. Like a Marilyn Manson. They come out, like, dressed like Napoleon. He's like, guys, seriously, if you throw things, we're gonna leave ser. Seriously, you throw things. We're gonna go. Because we're not. Stop it.
Robert Kelly
Oh, shit.
Jay Oakerson
Now can we have some fun or are we gonna have this all night? Sorry, Marilyn Manson.

Guests: Marcus King & LeMaire Lee
The episode kicks off with Big Jay Oakerson and Robert Kelly welcoming their guest, Marcus King, and diving into a lively discussion filled with humor, anecdotes from the road, and candid takes on the world of comedy and entertainment.
One of the primary topics of discussion revolves around the challenges comedians face with audience interactions, particularly heckling.
Robert Kelly shares his recent experience at The Cellar, where comedian Dave Chappelle had to eject Jordan Jensen—a fellow comedian and critic—for disruptive behavior:
"So they had Dave drag her out, and she was out front. Like, what?" (02:07)
Big Jay Oakerson reflects on the absurdity of comedy clubs enforcing strict no-laughing policies:
"They don't even want people laughing anymore." (03:30)
The hosts express skepticism about clubs' reasons for removing audience members, suggesting that policies are sometimes arbitrary and not always justified.
Marcus King shares behind-the-scenes tales from his tours, highlighting the dynamics between performers and their bands.
Marcus recounts an incident where fans were overly enthusiastic, attempting to engage too much during performances:
"They wanted me to do the Michael Jackson tune last night and started singing the chorus." (04:51)
Jay Oakerson humorously critiques how some performers handle hecklers by comparing them to legendary rock stars struggling with fan interactions:
"He goes, this next song's about that. And then he plays a song from a long time ago. That's not the case of that at all." (12:43)
The conversation shifts to the intricacies of live performances and managing stage presence.

"Seven-minute rants between songs about stories that are completely fictitious." (06:00)
The hosts delve into the personal struggles of performers and how they present themselves to the public.
Robert Kelly shares a story about Pete Lee, who falsely claimed his house burned down, leading to a heated confrontation:
"He goes, my house burned down... but he was renting." (24:44)
Jay Oakerson criticizes Pete's lack of authenticity and integrity, emphasizing the importance of honesty:
"You shouldn't say you lost your house during a tragedy. You didn't lose your house. You lost your stuff." (29:33)
This segment highlights the tension between maintaining a public image and dealing with real-life issues, underscoring the value of genuine interactions.
The discussion provides insights into the logistics and unexpected moments that occur during live comedy shows.
Jay Oakerson humorously contemplates the idea of orchestrating large-scale audience interactions, inspired by heavy metal concerts:
"We should do that tonight at the Blue Note." (18:00)
Robert Kelly and Marcus King contribute by sharing their own concert experiences, illustrating the unpredictable nature of live performances:
"It's my cue cards for my 20th Fallon show." (26:12)
The hosts compare different comedic approaches and discuss their own styles, offering listeners a glimpse into what makes each comedian unique.
Marcus King talks about his musical influences and the blend of genres he incorporates into his performances, mentioning collaborations with artists like Erykah Badu:
"We're playing more like jazz fusion, neo-soul kind of stuff, a little bit of everything." (18:52)
Jay Oakerson and Robert Kelly reflect on their comedic preferences, debating the merits of different styles and the importance of adaptability on stage.
As the episode nears its end, the hosts promote upcoming tours and special events featuring themselves and their guest, Marcus King.
