Robert Kelly
Yeah, Bobby. What's up?
Big Jay Oakerson
This is. This is in my playlists of songs I've had to remember while looking up at the TV screen during sex. Sometimes having to hit the remote control so you can see the name of the song.
Robert Kelly
You had sex to this.
Big Jay Oakerson
We used to put on a TV channel. It was like a TV channel music choice and we had DirecTV.
Robert Kelly
You give me shit for to baby face.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah, yeah you.
Robert Kelly
You're gross. This happy end of a rom com.
Big Jay Oakerson
Well, these things would just pop up. We would put on a college rock or indie rock. Cuz most of that is pretty good. And you also put it kind of low. Wasn't super loud.
Robert Kelly
I mean this would be good for cleanup.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah, really got us moving. Does get everyone's dancing with mops.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, she's out there with a half wet, half dry towel spinning it.
Big Jay Oakerson
Turn it up, Lou. How fun is the song though?
Robert Kelly
It's a fun song.
Big Jay Oakerson
It gives you everything you. It goes the places you want it to go. Is that a weird description?
Robert Kelly
No, it's a perfect description.
Big Jay Oakerson
A little more low. It's hard to make a horn section sound Cool.
Robert Kelly
I feel like Jacob plays this on the plane as it's landing in Florida.
Big Jay Oakerson
No, Jacob's like me. He listens to all dark music alone.
Robert Kelly
You can't say that anymore, Jay.
Big Jay Oakerson
What? Dark music? Yeah, sorry. Colored music?
Robert Kelly
Nope, not that either.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, sorry.
Robert Kelly
Wow.
Big Jay Oakerson
What do you listen to alone, Jacob? A lot. What's your car? What's up? You don't drive at all. To me, it's always the tell. What's a good drive down here?
Robert Kelly
Yeah, you do drive down with a golf cart.
Big Jay Oakerson
What time of day? What time of day, by the way? Does it make a difference? Will you be picking for music that does matter to me. It's the end of the night.
Robert Kelly
I do tend to go slow, like more contemplative songs, but usually it's metal. In the daytime you drive around. Certainly when I'm walking. Certainly when I'm working out. You drive around a metal in a Malibu during Florida. In Florida by yourself at night?
Big Jay Oakerson
No, during the day. It's a day times metal music or daytime spending music?
Robert Kelly
Yeah, and then I'll switch to my 80s and 90s bread.
Big Jay Oakerson
Metal doesn't work for me during the day. Nothing that's hyper emotional music in any way can happen during the day. During the day is when I'll try to like living until it's dark out. I'll try to listen to like Stern. Howard Stern stuff or like it's. That's what I'll put on. Like fun. Like a fun 80s music. Not cool 80s music even. There's 80s music that you cannot do during the day. West End girls during the day. There's no point you won't enjoy it the way it's supposed to be enjoyed. Because you got to hear that. Watch. You're putting on West End Girls, though. Watch. Watch how easy this is. Turn the lights real bright in here. Christine, turn the big middle one on. Ugh.
Robert Kelly
You have such a beautiful studio.
Big Jay Oakerson
It's fine.
Robert Kelly
It's all. It's beautiful when the lights are on.
Big Jay Oakerson
Well, nothing works.
Robert Kelly
So I feel like we're in here on a weekend stealing a show most of the time.
Big Jay Oakerson
This is beautiful. Yeah, but this doesn't really slap the same way.
Robert Kelly
Why? Why don't you like lights?
Big Jay Oakerson
Because doesn't this not feel cool right now at all?
Robert Kelly
I feel great. It weighs.
Big Jay Oakerson
You think this feels cool?
Robert Kelly
Well, when you have all the lights down low. Put the.
Big Jay Oakerson
Put them down low, turn it low and turn the music up. Cuz that's what you would do. Ooh, doesn't it feel so much cooler you don't immediately just feel cooler. Turn them back up sometimes you better off dead.
Robert Kelly
Turn it back up a little bit.
Big Jay Oakerson
Well, that just looks like we're in the wrong room. No, put the middle one on. Yeah, and you turn the volume up. You just. You just know that the song's playing like, oh, yeah, this is West End Girls by Pet Shop Boys. And you can kind of like go.
Robert Kelly
Do we have the blue ones on?
Big Jay Oakerson
And.
Robert Kelly
And turn everything else off. Yes, that'd be great.
Big Jay Oakerson
No, we can't.
Robert Kelly
Doesn't work that way. If it was dark with the blue on this song, that would be perfect.
Big Jay Oakerson
Blue only comes on with the overhead.
Robert Kelly
Really?
Big Jay Oakerson
What a dumb system.
Robert Kelly
Why don't you cut the wire?
Big Jay Oakerson
Hey, you know what I don't give thanks for whoever built the tech in this place.
Robert Kelly
Everything's on one switch.
Big Jay Oakerson
Look how much we're able to just glaze past this song. Turn the things down. Turn the volume up. Blue. How hard can it be? A little lower on those lights. Christine. Girls. So much better.
Robert Kelly
It's a little dark.
Big Jay Oakerson
So much better.
Robert Kelly
It's a little. It makes me sleepy.
Big Jay Oakerson
Well, that song particularly is a little bit of an airy song.
Robert Kelly
I'm still asleep but with the lights down. Looking at your little tired eyes.
Big Jay Oakerson
Give me a Little Tenderness by General Public Even this is bubbly, but still, it's cooler with the dark. You turn the lights on now it's like, silly and stupid. Turn up blue now if you're listening tonight you're driving fast. You're happy about a girl, right? Takes you back. You're in high school. You're happy about a girl you kissed.
Robert Kelly
Are windows down or windows up?
Big Jay Oakerson
Windows are down, but the streets are pretty empty.
Robert Kelly
Streets empty.
Big Jay Oakerson
Dude, this is falling in love. You're happy about a girl.
Robert Kelly
Tenderness. Where is it? I haven't been happy about a girl in a long time.
Big Jay Oakerson
No, I know. You gotta take back for sure. You gotta close your eyes and go back to a time when you had a magical time.
Robert Kelly
When I just met a girl at some club.
Big Jay Oakerson
And you kissed fast. Because her friends were pulling her away.
Robert Kelly
Right. But she gave me her number and I got it.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
And I'm so old, I have to go to a pay phone tomorrow.
Big Jay Oakerson
And she let you know last second as she was being pulled away. She's like, please make sure you call me. It wasn't just one of those like, oh, I gotta go. Here's my number.
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Big Jay Oakerson
She's like, it sucks. I have to leave. I'm being pulled away.
Robert Kelly
Yeah. And her Name's Cindy. With an eye, but there's a heart over the eye.
Big Jay Oakerson
What a slut. Ah, but she's not a slut this night.
Robert Kelly
No, not tonight.
Big Jay Oakerson
She's in love.
Robert Kelly
We're both in love. Oh, God.
Big Jay Oakerson
I do right? If the lights were on right here, you couldn't find that spot in your head.
Robert Kelly
You know how disappointed you'd be in me? When I drive home from the city, do you know what I listen to?
Big Jay Oakerson
Yes.
Robert Kelly
What a boomer I am?
Big Jay Oakerson
You listen to that same jelly roll song over and over again. Wish it was you. It's a deep cut. Bob Seeger.
Robert Kelly
I do love it. No. You know what I've been doing? You'll be so sad.
Big Jay Oakerson
Why?
Robert Kelly
I've been watching World War II.
Big Jay Oakerson
Don't watch anything while you're driving.
Robert Kelly
On. Well, listening.
Big Jay Oakerson
Okay. On YouTube at nighttime.
Robert Kelly
@ night when I drive home, I.
Big Jay Oakerson
Come on, dude. You're wasting dark driving.
Robert Kelly
I'm wasting.
Big Jay Oakerson
You're wasting dark driving on fucking. Not music.
Robert Kelly
Did you know that?
Big Jay Oakerson
You're crazy.
Robert Kelly
Japan started the war. I didn't know that. They. They invaded China, huh? And then. Yeah. And I didn't know that. That they started.
Big Jay Oakerson
Bobby. That's what you listen to when you're driving down here in the daytime.
Robert Kelly
Well, down. I roll my calls. I roll all the phone calls.
Big Jay Oakerson
Here's what you do. Do what I do. Don't call anybody, ever. Return no calls, be difficult to get a hold of, and don't respond to texts.
Robert Kelly
But, yeah, you are. I mean, dude, I have to. I have to.
Big Jay Oakerson
You know how many times a decision has been made in my life? I couldn't count the millions of times the decision has been made to dead a phone call because of music I'm listening to.
Robert Kelly
Do you know how many times I have to say the Serenity Prayer and just let our friendship go into the wind and just go, no. He likes me.
Big Jay Oakerson
I love you.
Robert Kelly
He cares about me. It's not me.
Big Jay Oakerson
I care so much.
Robert Kelly
How many times I've called you or texted you and I've gotten zilch. The only thing that means me and.
Big Jay Oakerson
You have tag a little bit, though. I call back and you're.
Robert Kelly
You call back at weird times.
Big Jay Oakerson
Sure. When I'm available. Yeah.
Robert Kelly
You call back at 1152, and then I'll call back at 1153 and you won't answer.
Big Jay Oakerson
That sounds like dog walking. Oh, here's the thing, Bob. You got to learn about me. I'm sorry. I can't believe I didn't tell you this.
Robert Kelly
I know It.
Big Jay Oakerson
Now, Christine could fill you in on this, too. It's called. It's called the Q. Yeah, I know. And when I want to talk and I call you. I used to feel bad about this, but now I feel like you should been. You should have been more honored by my call since I don't make so many that once you didn't get it, I'm going to call somebody else. And then you're back in the queue. Christine, many a time has been like, this is idiotic of her. If I were her, I would hang on until the phone cut off and then call right back. Because what she'll do is go, I call, hey, I'm heading home now. And she goes, oh, great. Well, she's like, in her mind, she's, oh, well, I got a phone call. Let me rush and walk the dog now. So then she goes, I'm going to go downstairs with the dog. So I'm going to call you when I get downstairs. And I'm like, that's four other people getting a chance to answer. That's Isabella Lewis or a fenoya, possibly 100% a phenolia. No, no, it's any one of those. Those are the first. Those are the first four. Oh, maybe Justin Silver.
Robert Kelly
Can I say this to you, though?
Christine
Yeah. Justin, A. Josh.
Big Jay Oakerson
No, not Josh. My mom.
Robert Kelly
I mean, I'll take your mom. I'll take. I'll take. I'll take Finoya. I get that you guys are pals.
Christine
I have started doing what you said.
Big Jay Oakerson
Bobby, Bobby. No, you should feel good. What you should feel good about is that, like, you could always believe in a lot of times it's true. The fact that you're back in the queue now does mean you were my first thought. You were my first thought. But then you didn't answer. And I go, what? By the way, sometimes if I call three and they don't answer, I go, am I just sleeping? Like, is this like a dream or something freaky is about to happen? Why would three people not want to talk to me just because I don't talk to them when they call me?
Robert Kelly
Exactly. Oh, yes, exactly. But here's the thing, too. You do call it weird times. And I know you're outside smoking a cigarette somewhere, and I do know I'm in a queue, but when you call me, yeah, if I'm on the phone with somebody, I go, let me call you right back. A lot of the times know that. No, yes, I have a cue.
Big Jay Oakerson
I've done that for you.
Robert Kelly
But you're not in the queue.
Big Jay Oakerson
I've never debted your call for somebody else's call.
Christine
You've answered my call to tell me I ruined a song and then hung up on me. I ruined your jam session.
Big Jay Oakerson
Especially if I'm in the shower on the road. Because here's the thing. A lone shower road music louder than I would do it at home. Probably maybe not louder, but more free form to do this weekend in shower. I pantomimed the entire song Lazy Eye by Silver sun pickups with Full naked in the dark. You know, I shower in the dark. Air guitar and fake singing into a microphone that was in a specific place that I would keep coming back to.
Robert Kelly
Why you say I you shower in the dark? I don't know that. Why do you shower in the dark?
Big Jay Oakerson
We'll never be able this. That's requires therapy I haven't gotten yet. I don't know.
Robert Kelly
I mean, you have to do it in the dark. No, complete dark.
Christine
Cell phone.
Big Jay Oakerson
Cell phone light new wish.
Christine
But probably like 6, 7.
Robert Kelly
What did you do before cell phones light a candle?
Big Jay Oakerson
No, I took a shower with light on.
Robert Kelly
So this is a thing that you've developed over the years that you like being in the dark, showering?
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
Wow, that's something song right here.
Big Jay Oakerson
Dude, man. I went the whole song. I didn't. And I. And by the way, I lip synced. I didn't. I didn't sing. I was trying to sing this.
Robert Kelly
Is this tub shower or is this walk in shower?
Big Jay Oakerson
Walk in shower.
Robert Kelly
Okay. More respectable.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah. Nice size space. It was in a hotel in. Where the fuck was I? Just at Houston. Houston, Texas? Yeah. And I was really like. And I meant it like, I was like, this is how I would sing this song. And look, if I got to play the song ever.
Robert Kelly
Can I see a little bit of it?
Big Jay Oakerson
Mm. But you got a picture of me completely naked.
Robert Kelly
100% naked.
Big Jay Oakerson
Showers coming down from here, from there. And now I'm just like. It's a very. Just like the strong thing. But I'm doing a lot of walking around thinking about it.
Robert Kelly
You have a very long guitar strap.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah. Yeah, very long. I put a little something into it. We'll put the face into it. Yeah.
Robert Kelly
Oh, so you're looking out at the crowd. There's a crowd. Oh, you're turning back to the drummer. You're making it back to the mic just in time.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
Oh, you're back. Oh, you're individually picking people out of the crowd to give attention to.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah, I'm pointing a little bit.
Robert Kelly
But now you're back in your own head.
Big Jay Oakerson
Back.
Robert Kelly
You're back, Jim with a van.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, man. It would be raining sniz on me if I did that for real life. Just not naked in a shower. But in that moment, I'm killing it.
Robert Kelly
So when you're on the road and you're not answering the phone, I'm naked in a shower.
Big Jay Oakerson
Air guitar.
Robert Kelly
Good to know. Good to know.
Big Jay Oakerson
100 of the time.
Robert Kelly
All right, that's good to know. I mean, you are. Me and Ari were talking about that. You don't return phone call like you. You do call back. Here's the thing. This is the thing that is okay with it.
Big Jay Oakerson
I don't know where you guys have time to be. I'm on, like, text threads with people. Like, lots of people in the bonfire too. And I look at the thing, I'm like, how's everybody having time to do this? I'm like, I'm driving, I'm packing, I'm flying. Or I'm like, the only time it hits, and then when I'm like, buddy, in a hotel, I do the same.
Robert Kelly
We. We do this.
Big Jay Oakerson
I know.
Robert Kelly
Same thing you do.
Big Jay Oakerson
It's my. That's my question.
Robert Kelly
To the airport, waiting for. To board the plane. When you get off the plane, waiting for your bag. Going to the hotel from the airport. Getting into the hotel. Sitting there for a couple minutes. Before. Hours. Before the show. Yeah, after the show. Sitting there for hours on your computer.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
There's literally.
Big Jay Oakerson
I do respond, then that's what I'm responding.
Robert Kelly
It's a lot.
Big Jay Oakerson
Tell me time. I'll respond.
Robert Kelly
There's hours in the day.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
To.
Big Jay Oakerson
Well, most of those things you just described. Music time.
Robert Kelly
So that's all. Music time.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
So why don't you just turn your phone off?
Big Jay Oakerson
What do you mean?
Robert Kelly
Like, turn the phone part off? I need to be available to who is my question?
Big Jay Oakerson
My daughter.
Robert Kelly
All right, that's good.
Big Jay Oakerson
That's Christine.
Robert Kelly
Christine. Second Christine, your daughter.
Big Jay Oakerson
There's no order, but I guess. Yeah.
Robert Kelly
All right.
Big Jay Oakerson
Christine more likely to be able to solve her own problem, Jay.
Christine
Everybody else does.
Robert Kelly
I know you don't.
Big Jay Oakerson
So funny.
Robert Kelly
I can't even give you a second without throwing him a caveat. I mean, I wouldn't put it in order, but. So your daughter Christine. Where am I on the. If you had to make a chart of. And this might hurt. I might regret asking this, but in the chart of phone calls.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
Where am I? You got your daughter Christine.
Big Jay Oakerson
Top tier. It's tears.
Robert Kelly
Tear. I'm a tear.
Big Jay Oakerson
Top Tier.
Robert Kelly
I'm top tier.
Big Jay Oakerson
Top tier.
Robert Kelly
Is there all right, but who's in the top tier with me?
Christine
Lewis.
Big Jay Oakerson
No, no. For making a phone call. Me making the phone call outward. No, Lewis is not top tier. That's just true. I might be Lewis's top tier, but it was not my top tier. It's not a dig on Lewis. It's that like Lewis is gonna. It's gonna. We very rarely have. Hey, like, dude, this funny thing I saw just happen and made me think, you know, whatever. And we just talk and shoot the shit. It's gonna come at some point to like, oh, and also I booked us on a seven day thing. We're all making 150 bucks. Yeah, something like that. Wait, what we have to do? What? So like. Yes. So it's like so no, he's not top tier for that. That's not importance in life a comment on that at all. That's importance in like.
Robert Kelly
Right.
Big Jay Oakerson
Hey, I've got some time now where I could talk to somebody. Oh, fuck me running. It's not so it's going to be funny things.
Robert Kelly
I respect. I respect your. I respect it. I respect that you don't makes you feel any better.
Big Jay Oakerson
Soda's falling out of top tier for calls to make and I don't even know why.
Robert Kelly
No, we all know why he's not sitting in this chair.
Big Jay Oakerson
Well, listen. No, it's always a true thing. No, no, but there is something. The fact that we don't have to communicate on a level like that as much anymore. It's just. And when we do talk on the phone, it is just like fun, funny phone calls. Which is great. But it's just like. It's not. Because it's almost like before I got to friends. I just want to shoot this shit with. There's probably friends also. Like there's more immediate things.
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Big Jay Oakerson
Do you know what I mean? No, I mean with Bobby because we have to like we have to do shows, whatever. So it's fun. Maybe something funny just happened or whatever.
Robert Kelly
I have top tiers. I have, you know, Collins in the top tier. Don is the top. The tippy top.
Big Jay Oakerson
Sure.
Robert Kelly
Max. This is the tippy top.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah. Fenoy, Christine.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, mine's.
Big Jay Oakerson
But Christine, Christine, Parentheses, Dog.
Christine
Dawkins.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, there is. There is a top tier. I mean. Yeah. And DeRosa used to be in the top tier. There's a lot of people that used to be in the top tier that no longer in the top. There's people that you know you'll lose that I. When I see them call. I'm like, do you have that? Do you have that guy?
Big Jay Oakerson
Sure, I'm sure. Let me think about that for a second. But I want to say also about Dan. Dan lives his phone in do not disturb mode he keeps in. So Dan also rarely answers the phone when you call. That's probably more the reason. Just organically, it doesn't come to my mind to call Dangs. I'm like, I've gotten used to, like, you have to wait for Dan to call you or like you text with them that you're going to call or something.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, that's some therapy bullshit. That's like something somebody said that, dude, keep your thing off. And. And then he'll call you back right away. It's like, fucking, dude, just answer the phone.
Big Jay Oakerson
I think Justin Silver does that.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, but take it off every time.
Big Jay Oakerson
Whenever he. He texts you, he messages you, and then it tells you under that text that he's not going to see what you write back. It's insulting.
Robert Kelly
It's. It bugs me because it's like, listen, if you have it off, you're doing something. Don't call me, right? Don't let me know that you're screening your calls and somehow you granted me the wish of your presence. I hate that. Just take it off or put it on and don't answer my call. Don't have it on all the time. And then call me back two seconds later like, oh, did you deem me fucking special enough? Fuck off. I don't like that shit.
Big Jay Oakerson
What I do to people with that regard is I write if I'm going to do that. If I'm calling you right back for the look of that, even alone, I would just write two minutes.
Robert Kelly
Two minutes.
Big Jay Oakerson
Two minutes.
Robert Kelly
I love it. Two minutes.
Big Jay Oakerson
Even if I don't need two minutes. You're just going like. I don't want to make it seem like I'm going like, oh, he's passed the test to get me. I go. I just go. It's like, oh, yeah, just give me two minutes. Whatever it was, whatever reason was, I didn't answer it. Let me finish this song. Blah, blah, blah.
Robert Kelly
Always, always give the two minutes. Or give me. On the phone call, you write back any little something that lets me go, cool. And you don't have to be two minutes. I don't even. I don't do the.
Big Jay Oakerson
Don't under. Don't ever undersell your minutes, though. I don't like that either.
Robert Kelly
What do you mean?
Big Jay Oakerson
I'm sure I'm guilty of it myself at times. But when it comes my direction, I'm like, don't. 30 seconds. And then five minutes later, you're sitting there going like, hey, I have not moved a certain direction here. Whether it be going in somewhere or leaving somewhere. Because I'm like, this. Phone calls coming in. Let me get that going. Yeah, before. Do you know what I mean?
Robert Kelly
Yeah, no, before I put my phone.
Big Jay Oakerson
In my pocket on this walk with my headphones on. Let's get this phone call answered and then we'll go.
Robert Kelly
If you say two minutes, I'll give you five minutes. If you say 10 minutes, you get 15 minutes. If you say 30 seconds, that means you're calling me right back.
Big Jay Oakerson
You have two minutes. Then you have two minutes legit.
Robert Kelly
Then you have two minutes legit. Yeah, but the response inside of there, which everybody can do because it comes up automatically now. It comes up on your phone. Hey, you can respond, text, and push the custom. Whatever. Give me a minute. Can't talk right now. Blah, blah, blah. That can just send to my phone just to let me know you saw it. And I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. You're cool? We're cool. Bye. I'm done. Yeah, I'll even take. I can't talk right now. And then. I get it. You know what I mean?
Big Jay Oakerson
You've gotten that from me. Can't talk right now. Is it important? Do you need me to, like, call you back right now and I'll say, nope, nope, nope.
Robert Kelly
Or when I do need you, I go. I go like this. Yo, call me. Yeah, yeah, call me as soon as you can.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah, yeah. What did you do the one time.
Robert Kelly
I love a good asap.
Big Jay Oakerson
What did Bobby do one time? He hung us out hard with something once. That wasn't long ago. What the fuck was it, though? Gotta talk. Majorly important, like, asap. Right now?
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Big Jay Oakerson
And then we had to wait till the next day.
Robert Kelly
No, I hate when she sings her sentences.
Christine
No, it's something where you're like, hey, guys. Yeah, it was like, hey, guys. We needed to talk. I think it may have been comedy camp.
Big Jay Oakerson
It was something. It was one of those, like, you were getting ready to go away and we need to, like, sort it out.
Robert Kelly
No, it was because I. I had. I was going. Comedy camp happened quick.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
The. For me having to go away, and I knew I had to go away there and then to Cuba, and that was, like, pretty important that I had to drop on you guys. And I needed you guys to know this is fat. The first people that I wanted to know were you two.
Big Jay Oakerson

You go. It's like really important. And it's like a big deal. Whatever your wording was, it was not like it made it seem like it wasn't a work related thing. You were like, life just changed over here, man. And like, well, it was. We have to talk.
Robert Kelly
It was a big deal because I had to take, I had to take two weeks off because you did sign it.
Christine
You can't say you need to talk and then just like leave us there for a day.
Big Jay Oakerson

Big Jay Oakerson
Oh yeah. Christine, I don't know if you remember train wasn't one of the methods of time that Bobby said that I could text back.
Robert Kelly
No, no, no train. I don't get service in a lot of the areas and I couldn't have it cut out during it. But I love your response. Any heads up, question mark? What? What's that mean?
Big Jay Oakerson
We thought maybe we were in trouble with you or that your family or your family was on fire.

Robert Kelly
And then did I run away? I did call.
Big Jay Oakerson
From this day forward, everything's different. Guys, I'll call you when I get a chance.
Robert Kelly
No, it all goes back to Jay. I called him and he didn't answer. So it was like, listen to. Because I know I'm on some queue and I can't wait till 11:47 at night when he's smoking a cigarette. Walking dog.
Big Jay Oakerson
That wasn't queue. If we called you right back, but I needed you.
Robert Kelly
Hey, guys, real important, I need you to call me about this. You can't have your naked song dance day.

Big Jay Oakerson
Dude, I could have unplugged for a second. I could have unplugged for a second and fucking talked to you while I was naked in the shower.
Robert Kelly
I did call and you didn't answer. And if I. I needed to just. And that's why I put you on the thing. Because I know the direct line to him is through you.
Christine
I know people know. I respond.
Robert Kelly
I know you respond. That's why I went to both you. Because a lot of stuff I've sent to you don't get response.
Big Jay Oakerson
Buddy, I'm pinballing around. Christine's on a couch with a dog and sweatpants.
Robert Kelly
You Stop talking to me like I'm not pinballing around. I do the same thing you do and then some. I have a I do more than you. Yes.
Big Jay Oakerson
When work gets crazy, I like to stop by the bar after, have a few cold ones.
Robert Kelly
I don't drink at all until 4:00. We limit ourselves to one bottle of wine a night. Excessive drinking has a way of sneaking up on us. A few drinks, a few nights a week, it can add up and suddenly.
Big Jay Oakerson
We'Re at greater risk for long term.
Robert Kelly
Problems like heart disease, cancer and depression. Reason enough to rethink the Drink more at rethinkthedrink.com an OHA initiative.

We've all got a thing. For me, it's vintage furniture and now talking about how I found it on ebay is like my whole personality.

I know antique lamps aren't everybody's thing, but the best part about ebay is it doesn't matter what you're into. Fashion, car parts, trading cards. It's all there.

Big Jay Oakerson
You're not up all night. Well, you're not up all night. I call you many a times that I have woken you and you answered the. Talk about someone answering the phone with the wrong tone. I'm calling to see Bobby. Hey, I'm driving home. I got 20 minutes. I'll bullshit. Bobby, go. Huh? What is. What's up? I go, Bobby, it's 8:37.

Big Jay Oakerson
But now and again 8:00 I've come home just. I mean blasted exhausted and I still always am up for about a good two hours at home, no matter what.
Christine
Yeah. Sometimes you'll start fading on the couch, but you never, like, go straight to bed.
Robert Kelly
No, I never go straight to bed either. My usual MO is I come home, watch tv up way late there in bed every. Every time I come home now, but when we moved, I was exhausted at like 8 o'clock. I was fucking wiped from doing shit all day, you know? But I. I do the same amount of stuff. You do.
Big Jay Oakerson
Sure.
Robert Kelly
I mean, I do podcasts. I do. I.
Christine
You guys both have 18 shows and.
Robert Kelly
Then we go on the road on the weekend. But I do wake up in the morning and have to do husband and father shit.
Big Jay Oakerson
Sure.
Robert Kelly
And I have to take care of my. I have to rape.
Big Jay Oakerson
What's the husband stuff?
Robert Kelly
The husband stuff is. We got to do this. We got to go here. You got to do that. We got to get this thing and thing from up there and put it up there.
Big Jay Oakerson
You have a landscaper? Yeah. No, you're not getting a landscaper.
Robert Kelly
I don't think I am.
Big Jay Oakerson
Why? Because I have a son you don't believe in. Oh, okay.
Robert Kelly
I have a son.
Big Jay Oakerson
You know what? I'm not gonna say another word. I like that. Yeah, I like that.
Robert Kelly
I want to. I wanna. I want him to do it.
Christine
Make him your gardener.
Robert Kelly
Yeah. You know what I mean? Make him do it. Yes. So I. Here's the thing, though.
Big Jay Oakerson
Make him earn something.
Christine
How many fun toys did you buy him to do it with?
Robert Kelly
I bought it. Here's the thing.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, he's gonna be on a riding mow. I know it for sure.
Robert Kelly
He got me very close.
Big Jay Oakerson
Dad, I can't walk the whole lawn.
Robert Kelly
He got me this close to buying the riding horsey. I was on Facebook, Marketplace, seconds away from buying a battery operated.
Big Jay Oakerson
What am I, some Mexican? I want him someone.
Robert Kelly
Well, he got me. He goes, dad, I could take it and make money around the neighborhood. I was like, oh, he was starting an own business.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, yeah.
Robert Kelly
Entrepreneur. Don went, absolutely not. This is the one. He almost got me on, too. The. We bought him a leaf blower to rake the backyard. The leaves in the backyard. And he. I was gonna get him. He wanted the backpack one where you throw it on your back.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
Like a, you know, like a. Like a machine gun thing. And Don was like, no, you're getting the regular leaf. I was like, yeah, but the other one, the battery.
Big Jay Oakerson
He was like, what's the backpack one?
Robert Kelly
You throw it on your back and has two batteries in it.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
So it lasts long, longer.
Big Jay Oakerson
How long? You need a leaf lower to last.
Robert Kelly
You need like at least an hour and a half.
Big Jay Oakerson
Gasoline in that?
Robert Kelly
No, no, not gasoline. The battery. All battery. Get back.
Big Jay Oakerson
Electric.
Robert Kelly
Electric lawnmower. Electric leaf blow. Electric weed.
Big Jay Oakerson
Electric lawnmower. Yeah. Dude, I didn't know that was a thing.
Robert Kelly
Oh, it's the best. It's the best power. Yeah, there it is. But no, that's the gas one. The battery packed one. He wanted that, but with the battery pack, it's. I think it's called echo.
Big Jay Oakerson
Mike Fenoy was telling me, he was giving me a thing to, like, if you get a house, the things that you're gonna. I was asking about things you'd want to get, but leaf blower. He says for sure.
Robert Kelly
You listen to me. You know what you do, I'm telling what you do. And I did it for the last 10 years.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
Pay somebody to do all that, it's 40 bucks a month, 40 bucks a week.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, no. I'm gonna get a landscaper for sure.
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Big Jay Oakerson
But it'd be pretty dope to have a leaf blower.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, that's the one right there. You wanted the backpack one.
Big Jay Oakerson
I want a backpack one.
Robert Kelly
I, you know, I should have got it.
Big Jay Oakerson
I want a snowblower.
Robert Kelly
I got one of those electric. I got electric.
Big Jay Oakerson
I got one for the boy.
Robert Kelly
I got one for him.
Big Jay Oakerson
You got a mini one for the boy?
Robert Kelly
Yeah, but he uses the big one now, so I don't even have to use it.
Big Jay Oakerson
So that little one was a complete waste of money.
Robert Kelly
No, I use that on doing my little stairs and little walkway stuff. He uses the big one and last year he did.
Big Jay Oakerson
He alpha. He's convinced you it's your idea, and he's alpha dogged you right out of your own fucking snow blower. Dad, you use the kids one if it's so great. All right, son, that's fine.
Robert Kelly
You can shut up. As long as he uses it. I got the gas one. The gas one's a pain in the ass. I had the gas. Leaf blower, the snow blower, it works great. But it's a pain in the ass.
Big Jay Oakerson
Isn'T it better than the electric one?
Robert Kelly
No, no, the electric one, you might have to do twice. You might have to go out during the snowstorm and do it and then do it again. But it's. Dude, it's ten minutes.
Big Jay Oakerson
Wait, what would be the difference between the gas one twice the gas one?
Robert Kelly
You can go out. You can just let it snow and just go out there and rip through the Snow.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, the big pig pile.
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Big Jay Oakerson
I'm gonna get the gas one.
Robert Kelly
Dude, don't get the gas one.
Big Jay Oakerson
Why?
Robert Kelly
Because you gotta know how to. It's also. You got it unbelievably loud. Electric is so much quieter. The electric one, you just.
Big Jay Oakerson
Jacob, hang on. Yell more into your can. It's not making it through the string to our can.
Robert Kelly
He scared the shit out of me, actually, when he started.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah. Is that my head?
Christine
I thought YouTube was coming through.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah, Christine's are checking her tabs.
Robert Kelly
Yeah. Get the eight. I think it's an 80 volt snowblower. You're gonna have to. You're gonna have to get a snowblower because the guys who come and do it when you need it that you might be the last one on their route. You know what I mean? You. You don't want to do that.
Big Jay Oakerson
No, I'm a friendly guy. I'll be like the king of the neighborhood, probably.
Robert Kelly
Well, if you tip him good, he'll come.
Big Jay Oakerson
Tip of my dick. That's the kind of jokes I'll make that'll make everyone like me a lot. He goes, you know, we work for tips. I go, tip of this dick. And then I put my hand up for a high five. He never gives me back.
Robert Kelly
That's the one I got right there.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah. Blowing snow, dude, it's got.
Robert Kelly
It's got lights on it. It's the.
Big Jay Oakerson
It looks fun.
Robert Kelly
It is fun.
Big Jay Oakerson
Where does it shoot the snow to?
Robert Kelly
Wherever you want. You turn that the. The blower. Yeah, put it to the. You have to learn to blow. So you go down first, you go to a neighbor, you go down once on the right side and blow it to the right. And then you come back up. Sorry, come back up and you blow it.
Big Jay Oakerson
Liar.
Robert Kelly
Cheater.
Big Jay Oakerson
You got.
Robert Kelly
You got to make my stomach have a voice. No, you got to make all kinds. Yeah, you blow it. You blow it that way. Yeah, you can blow it on the dog.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, Lou, I almost forgot to introduce my new character. Remember my new character we had planned for so long and we never did anything with it. Yeah. They found out through DNA evidence possibly that Beethoven was Beethoven. I'm sorry, it's the broken console making noise. Beethoven was black. It's very possible.
Robert Kelly
What?
Big Jay Oakerson
And I was gonna introduce my new character, Black Beethoven. Oh, shit. There you go. If it ain't motherfucking black. Beethoven coming through. It's a different time down here. I don't know if it's before or after the Underground Railroad, but I'll tell you something. Black Beethoven. Having it.
Robert Kelly
What about those white bitches?
Big Jay Oakerson
How about them? White is immense. My craziest. Them bitch is getting thick. Chicken Ivory. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Wrote a little song about it.
Robert Kelly
You said Peaches on your piano.
Big Jay Oakerson
I will play for peaches. I may be five eighths a person, but this is a 100% banger. Yeah. He's from a different time. That's the full name of the character impression. Black Beethoven. He's from a different time.
Robert Kelly
I love it.
Big Jay Oakerson
What's up, whitey? Get over here. Get your fine ass bitch up on this piano. Put your bitch up on my piano. Ooh. You want me hear me get funky with it now, Bobby.
Robert Kelly
I do.
Big Jay Oakerson
Bring an extra pair of panties, ladies. Oh, yeah. Black Beethoven coming on through. Black Beethoven. It's so long ago. This is before we like chicken. What's grape soda? He's from a different time.
Robert Kelly
What the.
Big Jay Oakerson
He doesn't understand black stuff now. It's from a different time.
Robert Kelly
Do they really think.
Big Jay Oakerson
Newports. Newports.
Robert Kelly
He might have been black. That's crazy, right?
Big Jay Oakerson
I like to believe he's definitely black.
Robert Kelly
Is that him?
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah, totally. Why?
Robert Kelly
Because he has crazy hair.
Christine
That's.
Robert Kelly
That's just.
Big Jay Oakerson
Well, that's a. It's a. It's a stippin drawing of him. Yeah. Yeah.
Robert Kelly
That's a dot ism.
Big Jay Oakerson
They think that's. Who's that? This is another Samuel Coleridge. Oh, yeah. You think he's British, though? You think only the Brits have black composers? You England black bezo. Right here. What? It says. Beethoven was as black as you and I. Yes.
Robert Kelly
Who wrote that?
Big Jay Oakerson
I'm gonna say that was written two years ago. A Stokely Carmichael, a guy named Stoke, a campaigner, raged against the deeply ingrained assumption that white European culture was inherently superior to black culture. Beethoven was as black as you and I, he told a mainly black audience in Seattle. But they don't tell us that now. The message didn't get through because most of the audience was talking amongst themselves.
Robert Kelly
But nobody heard it. Yeah, they were eating chips.
Big Jay Oakerson
Nobody get here to open this down to chips. Oh, Fuck. That's funny. 1 16th flag. That's enough for my character. Oh, that's a big old 1 16th.
Robert Kelly
1 16th. I'm 1 16th.
Big Jay Oakerson
Hell, yeah, you is. Get over here and stroll with me, motherfucker. Lou, I want it to always be the funky disco one. It should always be Beethoven's fifth Funky thing. Who that knocking on the door?
Robert Kelly
That's a disco song.
Big Jay Oakerson
It's motherfucking black Beethoven. Oh, yeah. Christine, pull your panties to the side. That's a lot of lip, girl. They say I had big lips. Lips. But damn, some lips. Yeah. Now I'm gonna play your Clinton C minor. I'm just around y'all. We don't eat yet. Oh, yes. Fifteen of my sixteenths might eat your. But this one percent's giving you that dirt.
Robert Kelly
Ago.
Big Jay Oakerson
Black Bay's open.
Robert Kelly
Well, he's a hit. He is a hit.
Big Jay Oakerson
Sorry, we were talking about home tools.
Robert Kelly
You're going to have to get. You get a house, dude. You're going to have.
Big Jay Oakerson
Mike just sent me a drill today. You got to get this drill dewalt. I'll let you know.
Robert Kelly
It's got to be a DeWalt.
Christine
It's got to be a DeWalt.
Big Jay Oakerson
Well, listen, I think we all want it to be a DeWalt for sure.
Christine
De don't trust Mike.
Robert Kelly
What type of drill, though? Is it a hammer drill? Is it just a regular one?
Big Jay Oakerson
Okay. It's not the wall. But before we start fucking poo pooing old Mikey Fanoya.
Robert Kelly
Milwaukee.
Big Jay Oakerson
It's a Craftsman.
Robert Kelly
Nope.
Big Jay Oakerson
Come on, look at me. Fucking shitty product. Asshole.

Let me see.
Big Jay Oakerson

Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Big Jay Oakerson
Craftsman is available on Amazon. Yeah, Black Friday week, by the way. I'll tell you what it is. The Craftsman 20 volt max impact driver kit. Quarter inch, 2800 rpm, LED work, light battery and charger included.
Robert Kelly
You don't need an impact driver.
Big Jay Oakerson
What do you mean I don't.
Robert Kelly
An impact driver is to go into, like, cement, right? You just need a drill to drill stuff into walls.
Big Jay Oakerson
No. What if I want to go through cement?
Robert Kelly
You don't. What are you gonna do that for?
Big Jay Oakerson
Me and Christine could have drill fights in the house.
Robert Kelly
No, you need a. You need a drill. Like a hammer drill, Slash, regular. Like a regular drill would be better for you.
Big Jay Oakerson
What's wrong with this guy? It's 60 bucks.
Robert Kelly
Oh, dude. Let me. I'll send you the drill.
Big Jay Oakerson
You're supposed to get a dewalt.
Robert Kelly
It's a DeWalt. Get a DeWalt or a Milwaukee.
Big Jay Oakerson
But is the dewalt. Is it gonna be an impact driver?
Robert Kelly
You don't need an impact driver.
Big Jay Oakerson
Who cares?
Robert Kelly
You don't want an impact.
Big Jay Oakerson
I don't need a leaf blower if I hire Mexicans. But I'm gonna have one. You can't name them. Leaf blower.
Robert Kelly
I'll take it.
Big Jay Oakerson
That's leaf blower. That's lawnmower. That's what I'm going to name Landscapers. I call this guy Dextain.
Robert Kelly
How many batteries does it come with? Just one.
Big Jay Oakerson
Well, if you get the backpack here.
Robert Kelly
I want to give you a tip right now. Whatever drill you battery up. No. Okay, yes, but no. Whatever drill you get, whatever lawnmower you get, whatever weed whack you get, whatever snowblower you get.
Big Jay Oakerson
No, they're all going to be Mexican.
Robert Kelly
No.
Big Jay Oakerson
If you buy, the snowblower actually might be Russian.
Robert Kelly
If you get a. I think it's great. I don't know why it's not laughing laughing in this room.
Big Jay Oakerson
Guys, my landscaping crew, Weed whacker, Rake. I call that guy rake. Jacob, you're getting over there in Florida. My landscaping crew, Mexicans by the name of rake and snow and leaf blower.
Robert Kelly
I'm gonna help you out right now. Get all the same brand because the batteries in the snowblower interchange. They all interchange. So everyone comes with a battery. When you have it charged up. If one dies out, just go take the one out of the weed whacker, throw it into the leaf blower.
Big Jay Oakerson
I don't mind that one bit at all.
Robert Kelly
But if I was you, I just wouldn't do it for the first five years of having a house. Pay somebody to do everything. Yeah, and you got a pool. Pay somebody to do it.
Big Jay Oakerson
All right, I just need to relax and do a. What's the thing we found? Elliot Stabler is now pushing copper. Copper things for your shoulders.
Robert Kelly
What?
Big Jay Oakerson
I sent that to you guys this weekend. Two things caught me back to back. It was the show on Patrol. On Patrol Live. I was. I was watching that. You know, it's like basically cops. The show Cops.
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Big Jay Oakerson
And on that show, they always go back to a hub where it's three police officers talking. Dan. What's his name? You love him. Jacob. Jacob. Jacob. Yeah, I'm here. I know who you're talking. Yeah. What's his name?
Robert Kelly
I don't have the new show because I.
Big Jay Oakerson
No, it's the old guy. It's the same. It's the same.
Robert Kelly
I have to.
Big Jay Oakerson
It's the same old guy, Dan. Whatever.
Robert Kelly
Lou, Are you putting echo on him that time? Okay. Okay. Because he sounded like he's in a.
Big Jay Oakerson
Well, it's Dan something.
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Big Jay Oakerson
What is it? I can't remember his name, but whatchamacallit? This guy. So the three guys that do On Patrol live, and I want you to bring them up in a second. It's hilarious. They are just three jacked older men wearing the tightest sweaters just talking about what they're seeing. He goes, sure hope it all works out over there for that family getting arrested in Des Moines. Hey, what do you think? Over. And he's all. They're all the way they stand like, everyone's just sitting like this and just talking in full like, you know, stiff arm cop. It's really funny. Then it went to a commercial.
Robert Kelly
The way we're gonna be once we start doing testosterone.
Big Jay Oakerson
Absolutely. When we're yoked.
Robert Kelly
Oh, I can't really. Totally.
Big Jay Oakerson
And great dance. Dan Abrams. Dan Abrams. He's one of them. But Sticks. Larkin. Sticks. Larkin is not a part of this no more. Oh, Stick Larkin's not big enough. Wait, is he the black guy? He is still part of it. There's his name.
Robert Kelly
Wrong. Sticks.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah, I'm wrong. But now you got to get. When they're the actual on the show, when they're all sitting at the table together, it's actual arm patrol live. But go back to this commercial is what really shook my foundation. Is that Sticks right there, the black guy? Yeah, it sticks because he plays a drum Snux. He's thin.
Robert Kelly
Okay. I don't know if Larkin is not the black guy.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, he's a white guy. That was racist of me. Was Tommy Copper. That's what it is. But here's my concern. I feel like the picture on one of them, the 18 second one here, it looks like it's trying to be funny. The one I was watching. I wasn't getting the air. This was trying to be funny. This is. This is Elliot Stabler, Chris Maloney doing a genuine pitch for a product and talking about how it helps his life. And it really. It really made me laugh at how cringe this is.
Robert Kelly
Wait till you see my true classic commercial that's coming out.
Big Jay Oakerson
See again, him lifting weights there looks. He's trying to be funny.
Christine
It was this one.
Robert Kelly
No, I think it was the one. Socks. Was it for socks or something?
Big Jay Oakerson
No, it's. Everything on set was part of it. It was like a long one.
Robert Kelly
Was it the one where is naked? No, the naked one was ridiculous.
Big Jay Oakerson
I didn't even see that one.
Robert Kelly
The top. Go up top. Scroll up. Right there. Bald.
Big Jay Oakerson
The second one.
Robert Kelly
That one. He's naked. Fully naked in it.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah, that's. That's definitely do a day in the life, which is when he gets up or back in neck pain.
Robert Kelly
Pain is no match for Tommy.
Big Jay Oakerson
This might be it. Yes, this is definitely it.
Robert Kelly
No way I could get through my long day without it. And I'll do it all again tomorrow.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah, that was earnest. That Wasn't to be funny. He's like, tommy Copper is really helping me out. And it's just like him on a set, like, having rough takes with his shoulder.
Robert Kelly
Opening a door that's already opened.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah. Oh, I was so infuriated.
Robert Kelly
He does. He's in shape, though. God damn it. Look at that side cheek.
Big Jay Oakerson
Detective Stabler could get it. Dude, he really. Any day of the week.
Robert Kelly
I mean, he's still got it. I mean, look at that.
Big Jay Oakerson
Christine would leapfrog me to hop on Stabler.
Christine
He said he wore half ties.
Big Jay Oakerson
Huh? Yeah. He does dress extremely gay.
Robert Kelly
It only comes in one color.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah, see, that's.
Robert Kelly
I mean, what the. He's being.
Big Jay Oakerson
Well, it's also. He's being funny. He's being funny, but it's not that funny because he's in shape.
Robert Kelly
He's shredded.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah, he's really just trying to show us what's going on. The Eagles. Something happened with the Eagles.
Christine
That was just the next video.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, I just saw you click that. Just real quick. I thought maybe Saquon Barkley did something.
Robert Kelly
Amazing or something bad happened to him.
Big Jay Oakerson
Don't say that.
Robert Kelly
I won't, I won't.
Big Jay Oakerson
Don't say that ever.
Robert Kelly
I won't, I won't.
Big Jay Oakerson
Why would you say that?
Robert Kelly
I don't know. It came out.
Big Jay Oakerson
He gets hurt every year.
Robert Kelly
I may get hurt now.
Big Jay Oakerson
This is his first year and he's gotten through fucking 10 games.
Robert Kelly
If he gets hurt this weekend, I'd be so not happy. I'd be so disappointed in everything that I've ever said in my life. If he totally pulls a hammy and an Achilles, I would suck so bad.
Big Jay Oakerson
You remember that old Kurt Metzger had that joke years ago? He was like. He said in front of his girlfriend, like, when he's watching TV that he wishes that someone had cancer on the thing. And they were like. And they're like, you shouldn't say that. Like, what would you do. What would you say if, like, they ended up getting cancer? He goes, well, I say you start. Better respecting me more bitch. Cancer giving powers. Is this. Can you get. Yeah, dude. When they're in the studio, I mean, they're tight shirts. Yeah, dude, these three. Exactly. They are perfect.
Robert Kelly
What are these guys, though? I don't understand what.
Big Jay Oakerson
They're retired cops. For sure they're retired cops.
Robert Kelly
And what are they doing?
Big Jay Oakerson
So they just. They just send it around. They're like directors. They're like. There's live police action happening with a few different departments, and they're out there doing Their thing. And then these guys just like maestro, it comes back to them. They're like, ooh, I hope that traffic stop seems to be getting a little dicey over there in Indianapolis. Why don't we go over to Corpus Christi, Texas, where we still see what's going on with that warrant serving or whatever. It's just.
Robert Kelly
How do they get the live feed through the. Through the body cam, I guess.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah. Here's also the. The show's called On Patrol Live. And I don't. I have to believe I've never seen a live one. Like, it's always.
Robert Kelly
It can't be live.
Big Jay Oakerson
Well, it always says live, and there's a time where it's live, but I never see the live. It's like a prime time show.
Robert Kelly
Probably when it airs, it's live.
Big Jay Oakerson
Maybe. Jacob, do you know.
Robert Kelly
No, I think that when it was live, pd, I think the camp. The footage was live.
Big Jay Oakerson
Right. But this is still called On Patrol Live. Can you look it up?
Christine
Just show people on TV without having them release.
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Big Jay Oakerson
The piece of shit criminals.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, but I don't think you could still show them live. Their faces without them.
Big Jay Oakerson
He just sign their names for them. Well, they got rid of all those shows. Cops and everything went away when Black Lives Matter happened. Black Lives Matter so much, you can't see cops on television anymore. That's how much they mattered.
Robert Kelly
Cheaters went away, too.
Big Jay Oakerson
Well, Cheaters was fake, which I'm feeling I'm breaking your heart by telling you that, but I've unfortunately had that confirmed 80 times to me, even though I fought believing that all of cheaters was.
Robert Kelly
Fake, 100% of cheaters, every single show was.
Big Jay Oakerson
Did you ever see down to the stabbing on the boat?
Robert Kelly
Did you see my radio show about cheaters?
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, we talked about it once. Yeah.
Robert Kelly
You seen it?
Big Jay Oakerson
No.
Robert Kelly
Oh, my God.
Big Jay Oakerson
Well, it's a radio show.
Robert Kelly
Well, all the people that submitted for Cheaters.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
Didn't get picked. We interviewed those people.
Big Jay Oakerson
Nice.
Robert Kelly
And they were mentally ill about cheating situations. They're crazy. Look, how do you. Can we just stop right now? And how fast. Christine typed in all that stuff about. Here's the show. I did it with Gabby. She goes, whose idea was this? This was. This is unserious.
Big Jay Oakerson
Really?
Robert Kelly
Yeah. Scroll down. What year this was like during the pandemic.
Big Jay Oakerson
Really?
Robert Kelly
Cheaters was going to do a show?
Big Jay Oakerson
Well, the cheaters sort of came back with Infinity Frost.
Robert Kelly
This guy's out of his mind. You want to find out for sure that she's cheating on you? Do you want to get back together with her and have what? A real relationship. And I would like you to catch my mom's boyfriend cheating.
Big Jay Oakerson
Paul.
Robert Kelly
Right.
Christine
And it would even the plus of the show of my ex being there as well.
Big Jay Oakerson
It doesn't have to be her, but.
Robert Kelly
You could be her.
Christine
It's 99.9% sure it's her camera.
Big Jay Oakerson
No matter is I can't pay attention what he's saying because the camera is so close to both your and Gabby's faces.
Robert Kelly
Look how fat my head was.
Big Jay Oakerson
Your head is big and fat for sure. But Gabby looks like the face. Nothing's going together. It looks like three different things are happening.
Robert Kelly
Well, it didn't get picked up.
Big Jay Oakerson
What? No, no.
Robert Kelly
I swear to God.
Big Jay Oakerson
Let's relaunch.
Robert Kelly
No, let's not.
Big Jay Oakerson
I love the show Cheaters. I used to watch, they made uncensored DVDs. I was real big on getting something uncensored that was censored. Yeah, Jerry Springer. I got that dvd. And all you were seeing, by the way, was hilarious paid porn stars that would come out and be part of a stupid bullshit story on Jerry Springer's tits. Only you could just think of the times now, like you could google now that girl's name and watch her get gang banged because you saw her on Jerry Springer. And at that time though you were like, nope, that was that hot chick that came in on Jerry Springer. And I have to buy this DVD to see her tits that one time. And what else they do uncensored? There's a Cops on Centers. It's pretty great. Every 30 minutes long only, but it's pretty guess like the naked girl on the front of the car who won't leave no lady in a hallway.
Robert Kelly
Those are real though.
Big Jay Oakerson
Cops? Yes. Yes. Yeah.
Robert Kelly
You know, I did. I did an episode of Real Stories of the Highway Patrol. Remember that show?
Big Jay Oakerson
Yes. What was it? Reenactments.
Robert Kelly
They would do the reenactments and I did one of the.
Big Jay Oakerson
It was a comedy show though, right?
Robert Kelly
No, it was real. It was real stories from the Highway Patrol. That was in the name. Real stories. So we would reenact the real story of what happened. Because they didn't have cameras in the cars back then. So they would just tell the story and then they would write it out and we would. They would cast it and I was.
Big Jay Oakerson
How boring are Highway Patrol stories?
Robert Kelly
It was all right. I went in. This is funny.
Big Jay Oakerson
I had to throw a guy in the clink today for peeing on the side of a road.
Robert Kelly
I had to go into the store and so me and my friend goes, go into the store and we rob the store. And first of all, they didn't have a. It was such a low budget thing. The gun I had was a Ruger from like Germany. Like a Nazi gun.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah, yeah.
Robert Kelly
And they didn't. They. They didn't tell people in the store. The only people that knew that this was going to happen was the store clerk. They didn't tell people in the store that we were coming in to rob the store. So two people had slipped into the store and I come in with a Ruger and rob it. And the only thing that saved my life in real time, it. We just went in, they went action. Because it was all like.
Big Jay Oakerson
You robbed the place.
Robert Kelly
Went in. Give me the.
Big Jay Oakerson
What was this on?
Robert Kelly
What. Whatever, one of those channels.
Big Jay Oakerson
It was regular tv, record tv, something like that.
Robert Kelly
Something like that. And then I went in. I'm sitting there robbing this person with this Ruger and there was an undercover cop behind me, okay, that came into the store and thank God they yelled, cut. No, they yelled cut because I messed up something and they were cut. Cut. They came in, the crew came in behind me. They go, stop, stop, stop.
Big Jay Oakerson
Just give me all your. Give me all your money. Ass.
Robert Kelly
The. The cop.
Big Jay Oakerson
Take it from the top.
Robert Kelly
The cop. The cop snapped, flipped out on the whole crew. He's like, I'm. I was five seconds away from unloading a gun in this kid. You gotta. You can't just come in and rob us. You have to have a permit and all this.
Big Jay Oakerson
And did your manhood kick in though, where you're like, no, you're not just gonna put bullets in me, dude. So we ain't gonna go like that, dude.
Robert Kelly
I.
Big Jay Oakerson
Now, talk that to whoever you want, but don't talk that to me.
Robert Kelly
I was terrified, dude. I was. And then we had to drive the car. There was no stunt code. They just got. They bought a car for like 200 bucks. I had to drive this bucket down the road with the guy, the cop, this state trooper who was actually in the thing chasing me down the road. And then I had to take a left hand turn. So I didn't give a. I just took. I go, dude, hold on.
Big Jay Oakerson
Cut off traffic.
Robert Kelly
I just cut the left and the car almost tipped over, jumped onto a bump. We went airborne, slammed down the transmission, fell out of the car, and we just rolled by the camera and the car was dead.
Big Jay Oakerson
Jesus Christ.
Robert Kelly
Then I had to get out of the car and the cop chased me and actually tackled me in the fucking woods. In the winter, in like the snow. And just tackled me like I was a real criminal and hurt me.
Big Jay Oakerson
Eric Estrada.
Robert Kelly
Everything was like one take. Everything was one take. And they shot the thing. I can't find the episode. Real stories of the highway patrol, 1993 and 1994. Something like that. Yeah.
Big Jay Oakerson
Crazy that they remember the name of that.
Robert Kelly
They could never do this show now. They would just hire shitty actors. 150 bucks.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah, there it is.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, there it is.
Big Jay Oakerson
Real stories of the Highway Patrol. Damn.
Robert Kelly
These are all reenactments on the lowest budget you could possibly do.
