Episode Overview

This episode of The Bonfire is an unfiltered, hilarious hang with guest comedian Chris Porter and co-host Mike Fenoia filling in for Robert Kelly. The crew dives into the realities of modern comedy—public scrutiny, handling trolls, online backlash, and the weirdness of self-promotion. They also riff on pop culture absurdities like the Las Vegas Sphere concert experiences, Costco excess, the value of gold, and the perils of fake internet validation. Through it all, they keep it real, mixing personal war stories with laugh-out-loud commentary.

Key Discussion Points and Highlights

1. Maturing Perspectives on Rock Stardom & The Doors

• Big Jay admits his lifelong love for Jim Morrison/The Doors has soured with age:
  • Quote (01:14):

    “Everything that I thought was cool about his rock star behavior is now as a professional performer...I’m like, not that I still—some of the rock star behavior I think is the awesomest...But, show up for the gigs. Dude, you can’t start up the work when the work’s up!”

  • The group laughs about the disastrous consequences for fans when rock stars flake out (Amsterdam no-show story).

---

2. Steve Rannazzisi & The "9/11 Lie" Backlash

• The crew discusses Steve Rannazzisi’s fallout from falsely claiming to have experienced 9/11:
  • Quote (05:51):

    “He was gonna ride it into the sunset. And then 9/11 happened. And then 20 years after 9/11 happened...”

  • They probe the podcast-and-cancel-culture climate, arguing that “overpunishing” mistakes is common.
  • Mike Fenoia dishes about the “never forget” irony and everyone acknowledges how much tougher it is for comedians under public scrutiny.

---

3. Podcasting & Comedians’ Cancel Culture Anxiety

• Big Jay outlines how things comedians said on early, nearly-private podcasts now resurface online:
  • Quote (09:15):

    “The amount of things...But 15 years ago was long enough ago that those first 200 episodes were like, well, this is going to nobody ever.”

  • They joke that someone would literally have to pay to dig up their worst skeletons (“You’re gonna have to pay to ruin us” – 09:34).
• They address how some people, like the infamous “Seth Simons,” hunt for jokes to get mad about, rather than just enjoying comedy.

---

4. Navigating Online Trolls and The Anxiety of Feedback

• Chris and the guys reminisce about hurtful (and pointless) internet comments:
  • Quote (11:06):

    “How many of the things that have maybe hurt you the most are coming from someone where it’s like laughably...bad his life—like, in a chair that he never gets out of.”

• Anecdotes follow about lovers, trolls, and the futility of arguing with anonymous “eggplant emoji” commenters (10:31–12:05).
• Chris Porter shares a real-life “not my thing” moment (12:04):
  • Promoting a show, first comment: “meh, not my thing.”
  • Quote (12:04):

    “You could have just scrolled and not said [anything]. No one needs to know it’s not your thing.”

---

5. The Comedian’s Curse: Overhearing Negativity

• Mike describes overhearing people outside a club reject his show after seeing a clip:
  • Quote (13:12):

    “Whatever clip they put up...these people didn’t like. And they were like, ‘We just go like fisherman’s wharf maybe or something.’”

• Jay and Chris lament how a single negative comment can undermine confidence, even amid success.

---

6. Online Self-Promotion, Algorithm Weirdness, and Comment Sections

• They reveal the emotional rollercoaster of dropping a new special on platforms like YouTube:
  • Quote (16:26):

    “But it only takes about three [comments] down before someone goes like, ‘Dude, why don’t you guys start putting some good stuff up here?’”

• Frustrations fly about self-release, catching “the algorithm,” and the predictability of haters.

---

7. Gold, Costco, and Modern Absurdities

• The conversation veers delightfully into randomness—Costco’s eclectic product range, the artificiality of gold’s value, the joy of buying a gold bar, and bulk shopping habits.
  • Quote (22:28, Robert Kelly):

    “If you don’t think I’ve looked up how much it would cost to own one of those gold bars like you see in Die Hard.”

  • Jokes abound about Kirkland gold, mushroom chocolates in a safe, and the post-Costco “blackout regret” (24:16–25:34).

---

8. The Sphere in Vegas: Backstreet Boys, Eagles, and Tech Overload

• Chris Porter details seeing both the Eagles and the Backstreet Boys at the Sphere:
  • Quote (27:41, Robert Kelly):

    “I saw Eagles and Backstreet Boys. The Backstreet Boys, I was like, watching the visuals...It was insane...frozen in a mountain and they’re singing like their Mount Rushmore.”

  • Discussion follows about the visually stunning but often ridiculous nature of Sphere concerts, including recycled effects for different acts (29:01–30:22).

---

9. Country Music—The Divide

• Short riff on modern country vs. “bluesy” artists like Marcus King, Tyler Childers, Chris Stapleton (30:53–31:24).
• Everyone admits to being picky about “new country” but loving certain crossover artists.

---

10. Behind the Scenes with Comics & Musicians: Touring with Jelly Roll

• Chris Porter recalls performing guitar live with Jelly Roll on the “Fully Loaded” tour:
  • Quote (34:05, Robert Kelly):

    “You saw me have, like, the greatest, worst night of my life four nights in a row when I would go out and play with Jelly Roll.”

  • Night one: guitar fails, 8,000 people wait in awkward silence. “This is not how I pictured this.”
• Stories swirl about wild tour moments—doing shows in stadiums, missing out on “fun” group excursions, and the well-meaning, sometimes exhausting curiosity of superstar musicians like Jelly Roll.

---

11. Kid Rock’s “Fake Watch” Prank

• Jay and the crew share tales of musicians’ signature bits—like Kid Rock gifting $18 watches, pretending they’re worth $200,000, and the confusion it causes:
  • Quote (33:05, Big Jay):

    “He wears $18 watches just to give them away and go, it’s a $200,000 watch, right there...It’s Ari Shafir-level of, like, ‘I’ll leave this chaos and it’ll unfold while I’m gone.’”

---

Noteworthy Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On online trolls:
  • “You don’t know that I’m a guy who’s always got snot coming down, and he’s like, ‘You’re ugly,’ and it ruins that girl’s day.” (11:06, Big Jay)
• On digging up old podcast moments:
  • “You have to subscribe to ruin us...Hey, if you want to take us down, smash that subscribe button.” (09:39, Big Jay)
• On comedy algorithms:
  • “They’ll just put you in front of their audience...not just my people. But it only takes about three [comments] down before someone goes like, ‘Dude, why don’t you guys start putting some good stuff up here?’” (16:26, Big Jay)
• On the Las Vegas Sphere and Backstreet Boys:
  • “It’s Mount...Dorkmore. Mount Fuckmore.” (28:23, Robert Kelly riff)
• On Kid Rock’s watch prank:
  • “Kid Rock gives you a watch, man, whether it fits or not, you just wear it.” (32:31, Big Jay)
  • “He wears $18 watches just to give them away and go, it’s a $200,000 watch right there.” (33:05, Big Jay)

[Big Jay Oakerson]

With Big J Okerson and Robert Kelly.

[Mike Fenoia]

Yeah, met Mr. Ed Sullivan. Wouldn't let him say this.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Man, it's a shame how much I love Jim Morrison to how much I turned on him as an adult.

[Robert Kelly]

I was gonna say I can't. It's one band that I can't do.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

I still love the music a ton.

[Robert Kelly]

Yeah, but.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

But I say always as a performer now, it was a funny thing to watch. Everything that I thought was cool about his rock star behavior is now as a professional performer, I'm like, not that I still some of the rock star behavior I think is the awesomest. I love all the mythology. And he's on the roof and hanging off and saying it's all and all the Lizard King and everything all show up for the gig. Yeah, show up for the gigs. Dude, you can't start up the work when the work's up. What are we gonna give a shit about you for? You're just a jerk off. Now can you imagine if you lived in Amsterdam or one of those places, those famous stories where like Doors, they're not coming around a bunch of times. They're only famous for three years. They come around one time to Amsterdam and he doesn't show up because he's just high in the streets with people and like the fucking keyboard players singing the songs like fuck off, dude. That would suck. That would suck. Shit. It is the bonfire. Faction talk. SiriusXM103, big jail. Chris Neal, Robert Kelly. Off doing his thing thang in Canada. For some goddamn reason. I do feel like the skull could have been done in his backyard. There's no reason to have to go to Canada because he trees behind him when he talks.

[Mike Fenoia]

He's ice fishing in his tub right now.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

We got the great Mike Fenoia sitting in the Bobby Kelly chair today, and we have a great guest today. He's gonna be at the Stress Factory in New Brunswick, New Jersey, this whole weekend. December 12th and 13th. Four shows. Yeah. Yeah. Everybody, it is the hilarious Chris Porter in the house.

[Robert Kelly]

What is up?

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Returning to the show. He's also got a new special middle coming out next year. You get a self release.

[Robert Kelly]

No Comedy dynamics.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Oh, nice.

[Robert Kelly]

Feeding the beast.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

I know how it starts.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah.

[Robert Kelly]

So you got to do what you got to do.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

That's Prime. Then they put that on Prime.

[Robert Kelly]

They're actually shopping it right now.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Oh, really?

[Robert Kelly]

Is what I was told. So.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Yeah.

[Mike Fenoia]

Where'd you record it?

[Robert Kelly]

New Orleans on tax day. So it's a very intimate special.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Was it actually on tax day?

[Robert Kelly]

It was on tax, like, when they booked it. You know, I'm not Chappelle. Like, I can't demand things. You just take what you can get. And they're like, this is when we're shooting and where we're shooting. I was like, good luck.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

I remember when I did a Webster hall, my first one, and they called me up, my agent called me to go, all right, so they got this day. Or like, there's no. I wanted Friday or Saturday. Saturday particularly. They could only do Sunday. And I was like, Sunday? Sunday sucks, man. It's a terrible day. And he's giving me all the reasons why. It's okay. It's good. It's actually a good day. People wake up, they're in a good mood. They slept in. They blah, blah, blah. Like, they're ready to party. I go, all right. I don't know, man. He goes, dude, Steve Renaissance, he did his on a Sunday. And I went, did he, though?

[Robert Kelly]

Did he, though?

[Big Jay Oakerson]

I go, were you there? Or is he telling you Steve Bernazzisi, Literally, it was one of those. In, like, the last, like, decade is one of my favorite people. I've just gotten. I didn't know Steve before any of that. I really. I mean, we bumped into each other through Ari a couple times, but I didn't really know him at all. And then that thing happens. It was. I didn't even have, like, a real feel terrible for him because I didn't know him. Yeah, it was more like that situation sucks. And I thought he was like a little over punished for it, but I was like, I was like, I don't know, man. I just didn't know him, so I didn't feel it. And now I meet him, he's like, man, what a great guy. That sucks. I'm almost happy I didn't know him when it happened because I would have been like, oh, poor Steve. Such a good dude. He's probably so bummed right now. I'm feeling like, man, the world's angry at me. He's such a great dude.

[Robert Kelly]

Yeah, no, I've known him for years and I knew him through all of that too. And funny. I made a. I made a joke at his expense on like the Burt podcast. And I called. I was like, hey, man, we were just riffing. And he's like, he's like, nah, man.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

But he doesn't give a. Yeah.

[Robert Kelly]

He was like, I thought it was hilarious.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

He said on Story wars before he goes, how am I so bad at this game? It's about lying. And then like. And then he gets one where I think he got all the points. Like, he got all. Because he fooled everybody in the thing. He was, I'm back, baby.

[Mike Fenoia]

That is so cool.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

All you could do is have a good sense. I mean, he lost, like. It's funny, it seems like minimal and trivial if you don't, I guess, know him at all. But it's like he was Buffalo Wild Wings guy. Yeah, he was the guy. I mean, that's gonna be. That's a big campaign for sure. A lot of money on that for years.

[Robert Kelly]

Well, the league was. He was so great on the league.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Yeah.

[Robert Kelly]

Show. And then he was gonna ride it into the sunset. And then 911 happened.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

And then 20 years after 911 happened.

[Mike Fenoia]

But they did say, never forget, isn't.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

It, by the way? And I'll have to ask him if I'm getting this completely wrong, but I hope not because I think it's something like, again, not realizing what the world's about to do with what you've said. Wasn't it just simply he came out on something. He was like, oh, yeah. You know, it's funny, I used to tell people all the time that I was in 9 11, but like, I was never actually in it at all. Like, I think he just said it like Lucy on some podcasts. And then people were like, what?

[Sponsor Voice]

Yeah.

[Robert Kelly]

Or I thought, I thought. I always thought he just got bored on a podcast that he thought was meaningless. And then probably, yeah, I was at 9 11, whatever. Like, let's make this interesting. And then once he got famous it, everyone was like, oh, this was this podcast. And then someone put it together.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Yeah.

[Robert Kelly]

That he wasn't employed there at that time.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Oh, is that what it was? I was exposed. I thought it was him, like, but maybe he said, like, in his person. Maybe the thing was in personal life, a lot of people knew he wasn't nine. Like, he'd already told that. It was like, oh, yeah, I told this thing like a while ago. So it's like, I think he was already. I don't think he was like holding firm at that point of his life when he got exposed that this still had happened. He stopped telling that story forever ago. I think because it was a bull.

[Mike Fenoia]

Story when it was also forever ago.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

And man, that's just. Yeah. When it comes back to bite you like that. God, now you can't buffalo wild wing anymore. Fuck.

[Mike Fenoia]

Fucking shit.

[Robert Kelly]

That's big money. Buffalo's rich as.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Still trying to get better at the old. Watch what you say after all these years of podcasting. Yeah, well, do you have to apologize for something you said or all that? Just the worst.

[Robert Kelly]

Oh, yeah.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Just any kind of thing. Yeah, dude, remember that was. I mean, how much if someone goes back through, like, Legion of Skanks, particularly like the stories of things like, what was it? Brad. Brad got in trouble. Brad Williams, years ago when he was like, yeah, I went in and banged some chicken. She thought I was Carlos. She thought I was Carlos Mencia. And like, almost in your mind, the sad thing is, do you have to question that? Can't you just go? It's like, I think it's just a midget trying to make you think he's cool, like, just telling you the story and like, you know what you're describing there as like an actual rape or something. He goes, do you think this really happened?

[Robert Kelly]

Yeah.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

When he said it, were you going, like, for sure, man. That's how I would have taken it. And if he goes. And then I went back there, I don't know why I'm giving him a fucking dwarf voice. And then I went back there and then I had sex with her.

[Mike Fenoia]

And he said, we represent.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Yeah.

[Mike Fenoia]

She goes, carlos Mencia. I said, you've got it.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Odalay.

[Robert Kelly]

But yeah, what are the odds someone's gonna confuse a dwarf with a full grown man, even in the dark.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Yeah. The real ones. The person who should have made sure that was debunked was Carlos Mencia.

[Mike Fenoia]

What's that say about him?

[Big Jay Oakerson]

He goes, yeah, he goes, so anyway, I went back there and this girl thought she was waiting to fuck the guy they had to cut out of his house on Jerry Springer cause he was too fat. But I just slid in. She asked no questions. You don't feel like they have to cut you out of a house. Sh. It's me, baby.

[Robert Kelly]

It was a real small house.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

It's me. But when we first started, I mean, we were talking today, the Legion of skanks, particularly. It's 15 years we've been doing that show and everything. And the amount of things you just like again. But 15 years ago was long enough ago that those first 200 episodes were like, well, this is going to nobody ever.

[Robert Kelly]

Yeah.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Like, this is just for people. Like some die hard people that have gotten in to see me at this where the Comedy Cellar or opening for Dave Attell. And like, you know, 100 people are listening to the episodes and like, you just doesn't think about it all. But it still exists out there, and they can go back and see it whenever. And it's like, no, I don't. We couldn't even. I mean, it's all behind a paywall.

[Robert Kelly]

Yeah, you're gonna have to pay to ruin us.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Yeah, you'd have to pay for it.

[Robert Kelly]

Yeah, you have to subscribe.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Yeah, exactly. You have to go. He goes, hey, if you want to take us down, smash that subscribe button. Smash that, like, button. Get notifications whenever new episodes come out.

[Robert Kelly]

We'll even flag really bad ones for you.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

That's the. What the guy. Could you imagine if having to do that? Like, the person that. The guy who brought down Shane, or I just can't say brought him down, but the guy who got him booted from snl. Yeah, the Seth Simons kid. Like, those guys, like. And a bunch of those guys wake up every day and start watching comedy to be angry at it, you know? I mean, like, they're not even taking it as, like, funny jokes. They're like, where did this guy fuck up today? Let me see. Where so and so there's some dudes.

[Robert Kelly]

That get on Hot Girls accounts and be like, man, oh, really? Yeah.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

I always think they're the ones that get on Hot Girls accounts and go, like, good morning, my love. That's the best.

[Robert Kelly]

I dated a super hot girl and I was like.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

And she.

[Robert Kelly]

And she would let those comments ruin her day.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Really?

[Robert Kelly]

And I'd be like, you know, that's what he's trying to do. Like, why don't you read the 37,000 eggplant emojis and not focus on this.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Troll because she goes, sure, everyone's got a super hard purple dick for me, but.

[Robert Kelly]

But this guy who doesn't have his face on his profile. Profile picture put in there.

[Mike Fenoia]

He used rolly eyes.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Yeah, I love that.

[Mike Fenoia]

Am I not hot?

[Big Jay Oakerson]

It would be if you could only write everything from like a live cam. Like, someone's got to see you.

[Mike Fenoia]

I know, right?

[Big Jay Oakerson]

I mean, how many of the things that have maybe hurt you the most are coming from someone where it's like laughably like movie esque bad his life, like in a chair that he never gets out of. Where it's like, I bet a lot of people that you get furious at are like crippled for life people. Yeah. Or it's like people say people living an actual whole other life on the Internet. So it's like, you know, you don't know that. I'm a guy who's like, always has snot coming down. But like, he's like, you're ugly and it ruins that girl's day. But if you could just see him. You go, yeah.

[Mike Fenoia]

They're like, they're like, can you please open the gate? I got to get in the parking garage. He's like, man, hits the button, he's just in a toll.

[Robert Kelly]

Dude, I follow the guy. The Stress Factory website, they like posted something and like the first guy was like, math, not my thing. And I was like, well, you can't be first. So I got. And I was like, hey, let's just cancel the whole thing, man. This guy's not into it. I was like, you could have just scrolled and not said.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

And not said a word.

[Robert Kelly]

Yeah, no one needs to know. It's not your thing.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Yeah. Could you imagine that? When I'm going, I wonder who's coming to, like, you know, Irving Plaza. I wonder who's coming to Irving Plaza this month. Let me look it up there and just like, look at their schedule and be like, the Mighty Boss Tones. Hate Mighty Boss Tones. Who else is? It's like you're supposed to 90s called and said. He was like, all they did was they just doing the crime of performing one night at a place. Yeah, yeah, yuck, dude, go fuck.

[Robert Kelly]

I was trying to promote a show.

[Mike Fenoia]

I told you, not my thing. Yeah, I experienced that in person at right outside the Punchline in San Francisco. I was staying at the hotel across the street and I walked out and it was during the day and there were people. I heard my bit and they were watching it on their phone and then they Were like, you want to go? What else is there to do tonight? And they decided not to. And I was like, you gotta. Gotta watch the new stuff. But whatever clip they put up on the website, these people didn't like. And they were like, we just go like fisherman's Wharf maybe or something. And it's just decided not if you.

[Robert Kelly]

Just walked up to him and been like, I got better stuff.

[Mike Fenoia]

That's awesome though.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Oh. I said, that's the. The comics curse too. Is trying to think. I think of some of the clubs, I want to say possibly Ontario Improv in California has that, like where you're out back hanging. There's just a little crack through the building that people can't even get through. But it's the front of the club over there. And sometimes you can just hear to like, that wasn't really my thing. Or hear a guy goes like, I've seen him better. But like, you're like, stop it.

[Robert Kelly]

The whole next show you're just like, I'm sorry if I've been better before.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Yeah, I don't know, man.

[Robert Kelly]

I'm trying to ride a new hour. I was probably in a different space.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Flew in cross country today. I'm a little. Like, the first show was going to be a little rough, but I just drink it all in. But yeah, I never. I've never. Look, it happens now because people, like look for things and they'll pull something. You said to show it to a person to hurt their feelings. Do you know what I mean? But like, we've never tagged Corey Feldman in a thing that we've made fun of him in. Do you know what I mean? He just. It got to him just because people make sure it gets to him. Right. Or he's a lunatic who looks up all the stuff that's said about him. Which is also probably a good point.

[Robert Kelly]

I think it's 50, 50 on that proposition.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Yeah, that particular thing for sure. But he. But you know, I've always said before because we talk on shows and it's the reality. Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins. The worst. Love their music. Love.

[Robert Kelly]

Yeah.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Three times in concert. Garbage. Every time. Terrible. They're just bad lies. He doesn't like playing the songs. He plays them fast. He's just kind of a cunty, like, person to the audience. He just kind of. Now that still never made me feel the need to go @ BillyCorganOfficial fucking try or. What the fuck am I paying for? It's like, who the fuck am.

[Robert Kelly]

I? Yeah, right. Just don't go Next.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Time. Yeah, I just know. Yeah. Smashing movies around. And by the way, I would go again, just always try and see. But that's almost the point. Like people do that too. People will go, saw Big J, fucking sucked this time. He's lost it. This guy used to be good when I was in high school. And then. But like, you know, if they see you, they're still just as excited as they. They're just like talking. They just want to talk. So almost that to even get into the stress factories thing, it's almost like. I know it's so hard to not. But you don't. You don't want to get into.

[Robert Kelly]

Those. Yeah, well, it would have been comment.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

One. I.

[Robert Kelly]

Know. I don't want some guy to be like, I don't know. Yeah, this guy's not into it.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Either. Yeah. The real question, the real phone call you should have made was whoever's doing the socials over at the stress factor, maybe. Hey, can you make sure the first comment's positive? But that's the risk of having anybody else. You know, when you release, like self release something on YouTube. Not that there's not. It catches the algorithm. Some people are just like this. When somebody just says like a. This sucks. Holy shit, this is awful. You know, it's called when they redo it, like 800 pound gorilla will always do it. The re. And they just did that. They just did that with mine. They just did both. The crowd works as a re. And you go in the first day, like, look at the comment. And because it's just there putting it in front of their audience. It's not just my people. But it only takes about three down before someone goes like, dude, why don't you guys start putting some good stuff up here? Yeah, could you put that as a comment under their general page instead of just my thing? Not.

[Mike Fenoia]

This. They're like more.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Something. Not.

[Mike Fenoia]

This. They're like more Angela.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Johnson. Please, just anything that's not.

[Mike Fenoia]

This. Anything that's not.

[Robert Kelly]

This. I need more puppets. If I could have more racist puppets, please. An 800 pound.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Gorilla. You know what I like to do for those people that hate on me? Get them some jewelry. This holiday season.

Oh. The show is sponsored by BetterHelp. It's coming. The days are getting darker and longer. It's getting colder. And the holidays are here.

[Mike Fenoia]

Extra. See mintmobile.com you're at your E voice. I love.

[Robert Kelly]

It. And I just bought $300 worth of.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Jewelry. Hell yeah. While I was.

[Robert Kelly]

Reading. Yeah, you're.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Reading. Steven Singer does it up nice. I was asking on that show baddies that I watch with these ghetto black chicks just beat the out of each other. And white chicks. Sorry, black Lou. There's also ghetto white chicks in there too. I was asking my daughter about the jewelry. I'm like, do you think that jewelry is like what I would guess it to be six figures or is it like $5,000? And it's all whatever she says. Low six figures. Because the new thing is the lab grown diamonds, which Steven Singer, little free extra plug there never uses. Lab.

[Mike Fenoia]

Coat. He never uses.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Lab. Only natural diamonds. I guess the lab grown diamonds. A lot of the rappers are doing that because you can get the expensive piece for less expensive. It does look like diamond Joy. They're all like flawless because they're made. They're diamonds. No resale garbage. Resale value. You get no resale value. So whatever the diamonds hold, which is again, such a hilariously like human construction, this always still makes me laugh so much that gold and silver are up like shiny.

[Robert Kelly]

Rocks. A bag of jewels that civilizations were built and ripped apart on. Yeah, right. It's.

[Mike Fenoia]

Crazy. Pirate ships are staying.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

There. It's what? Well, it's funny, Steven Singer. It's such a ridiculous thing that's built in the people. Something about that shiny metal making something and being that expensive, making sense. He sits here. When he comes on the show, Stephen Singer will come in once a year around Valentine's Day, right? And he'll come in and he'll be like, oh, it's the stupidest business in the world. Doesn't make any sense. It's the only thing you buy. It was like, you can't eat it. You can't play with it. You can't. It was like all these things. You can't drive it. He's like, it doesn't. He goes, it's just how it makes you feel wearing it and other people acknowledging it and noticing it. He goes, it's the stupidest business. And the store is full every.

[Robert Kelly]

Day. If you don't think I've looked up how much it would cost to own one of those gold bars like you see in Die.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Hard.

[Robert Kelly]

Yes. They're about a quarter.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Million. Oh, yeah. Oh, really? That one that big is a quarter.

[Robert Kelly]

Mil. The big ones are. I think you get the smaller one for, like, 65.

[Mike Fenoia]

Grand. And they're heaviest, and they're heavy.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

As. No, I.

[Robert Kelly]

Know. I want one so.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Bad. I want. Here's what I want. First things first. I gotta get that real ID because without my real id, I can't get my gun permit, so I can't get a gun. Then I want to have a safe that has three gold bricks in.

[Robert Kelly]

It.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Yeah. A couple stacks of cash with the wrap on it that says, whatever. Thousands. A gun just sitting there on top of.

[Robert Kelly]

That. That is stainless.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Steel.

[Mike Fenoia]

Yeah. And a burner.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Phone. And I'll just. And just once in a while, I'm just gonna open the safe just to be like, there's those things. Yeah, there's my. Oh, yeah, that's right. I forgot. You could buy gold at fucking.

[Robert Kelly]

Costco. Yeah, but those are. That's an ounce that you put that in your.

[Mike Fenoia]

Wallet. Yeah, but Kirkland.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Gold. It's gonna look good, though, in my. Yeah, Kirkland.

[Mike Fenoia]

Gold. That's Kirkland gold. You can only buy £11,000 of.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

It. You can buy in one ounces, but you have to buy £11,000 of it. No, that's what I'm saying. I want to get a small safe, like a little closet safe, and just a couple of my gold nugs.

[Mike Fenoia]

Yeah. I have a closet safe, and all it has is mushroom chocolates in it right.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Now. You buy gold at Costco is so fun. Costco. Explain any of it to me again. It's an organic thing. I'm drawn to it. When you go in there, you really do want to walk around and see all of it. But it doesn't make sense that in two aisles from each other, I can go, hey, do we need all this skinless chicken breasts? All right, well, I'll be over in patio swings if you need.

[Mike Fenoia]

Me. I'll be in mountain.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Bikes. Yeah. I'll be ordering a vacation, getting new tires. I'm gonna get one company that has rims here.

[Robert Kelly]

Installed. The questions you ask yourself at Costco, you're like, do I need a.

[Mike Fenoia]

Generator? You never know. Like, I got new bed, sleeping pants, and solar panels.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Today. You can do solar.

[Mike Fenoia]

Panels. You can do solar there for sure.

[Robert Kelly]

Dude. Why do I.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Have. You can buy a Mac and a fantastic hot.

[Robert Kelly]

Dog. Yes.

[Mike Fenoia]

Yes. And about 38 pounds of macadamia.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Nuts. Dude, I got. When we.

[Mike Fenoia]

Went. There's one Christmas village you could buy.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

There. We walked out of there with two patio sets, a leaf blower, pizza rolls for the rest of our.

[Robert Kelly]

Lives. You're literally just throwing pizza rolls at kids in the.

[Mike Fenoia]

Neighborhood. Lifetime supply.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Totino's. I almost got a 3D printer. I go. I remember walking by the thing. I go, hey, how good is our computer monitor? Look at this one here. Look at this big one. It wraps around, but look at.

[Mike Fenoia]

The goldfish on it that are swimming. It' beautiful display. I wonder how many people have like that. Like, post shopping. Like you out of the blackout regret. Oh, like, you get home and you open the back because they don't give you bags.

[Robert Kelly]

Either. As you're installing the TV mount in the bathroom like this. I might have overthought.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

This.

[Mike Fenoia]

Yeah. There's.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Like. Just doesn't make. It's like, the stuff. And also, nobody knows anything out of their.

[Mike Fenoia]

Thing. Oh.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

No. So you can go, I like to ask about this MacBook. And they go, I'm in produce. He's like.

[Mike Fenoia]

Listen. He's like, if you want to talk. If you want to talk.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Clementines, you want to talk clementines in.

[Mike Fenoia]

Bulk. You want to buy a clementine farm, I'm your.

[Robert Kelly]

Guy. I know you're thinking December, not a good clementine time, but it.

[Mike Fenoia]

Is. Did you know that Costco is the world's largest wine cellar in the fucking.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

World? That's.

[Mike Fenoia]

The. Yeah. And I learned that doing impractical.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Jokers.

[Mike Fenoia]

Shit. I had to look that up. They sell the most wine in the.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

World. Really? Yeah, because they sell it, like, probably those big. Those last time they had those big, like, oil drum. Yeah, yeah.

[Robert Kelly]

Yeah. Or like one of those. Those mason jugs that.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Like. Yeah.

[Robert Kelly]

Yeah. Grass bands.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Use. Yes. That's what I'm.

[Robert Kelly]

Picturing. They lost out to Total Wine and.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

More. Oh.

[Mike Fenoia]

Yeah. The largest winery, Costco, was the largest in the U. S. Selling billions, but recently lost that to Total Wine.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Where you're always going to love when you find. And find what you love only a total wine and more must be 21 delivery. Delivery available in certain place. Yeah, it is weird. That is how they put it. They go, B21 don't even around. Here's curbside pickup and delivery available in most areas. Ctotalwine.com for details. Spirits not sold in Virginia, North Carolina. Drink responsibly.

[Mike Fenoia]

B21. B21, you.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Dope. B21. Don't be a.

[Mike Fenoia]

Idiot. Hey, Dip, we check ID. Did you have a fake ID growing.

[Robert Kelly]

Up? I did and it was terrible. I remember they. It was like printed on like a laserjet printer. And the first time I used it in Lawrence, which is where I went to college, the guy laughed at.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

It.

[Robert Kelly]

Really? He.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Goes. He.

[Robert Kelly]

Just. Okay. He goes, this isn't even the right color. And I was like, okay. He goes, come back sober and I'll give it back to you. It worked everywhere except, like the cool. Like the coolest people knew what they were doing. Yeah, but if you went to a mom and pop liquor store, you were.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Fine. We were talking on that. We did the prerecord earlier today about the sphere. Have you seen anything at the Sphere yet? I know you're a big musician.

[Robert Kelly]

Yeah. I saw Eagles and Backstreet.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Boys. How was. We were watching parts of the Backstreet Boys. Looks like it's.

[Robert Kelly]

Insane. It is insane. And I. The Eagles, I was like, in.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

It.

[Robert Kelly]

Sure. The Backstreet Boys. I was like, watching the visuals. It was insane. There was one where they were like, frozen in a mountain and they're singing like their Mount Rush. I'll show you a.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Video. That's what we were.

[Robert Kelly]

Seeing. I was like, this is stupid. I'm like, this is. I don't know whose idea this was, but this should have been.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

There. Faces in the.

[Robert Kelly]

Mountains. They're all, like, half dead. It's. It's really creepy. What was weird? The one thing I noticed. The Backstreet Boys concert. Yeah, that's it. Where they're.

[Mike Fenoia]

Like. It's Mount.

[Robert Kelly]

Dorkmore. Mount Fuck.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

More. Miss me? Laugh.

[Mike Fenoia]

More. That's so.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Stupid. Yeah. No.

[Robert Kelly]

Looks. I mean, it looks like a scene out of Indiana Jones 5. The faces are awful.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Yeah. Where are the fucking Backstreet.

[Robert Kelly]

Boys? Down.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

There. It's so. It's so dwarfed by the.

[Mike Fenoia]

Place. Well, that this picture is being taken from, like, easily, like 300 or 400. This is way the hell.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Up. As eagles. You loved.

[Robert Kelly]

Eagles. I love Backstreet Boys. Was.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Great. Did they use the Eagles Used. I wonder, because you didn't see The.

[Mike Fenoia]

Eagles. I didn't go to the.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Eagles. I said they seem to have a bit of a. They have some template programs for the sphere where it's like, depending who's playing, you can kind of make a small tweak that makes it. Because the one was he saw Kenny Chesney and the Dead. And the. The famous clip that everyone sees of the dead, the skeleton on the motorcycle going through everything. Yeah, they changed it. With Kenny Chesney. It's the same thing, but it's Kenny Chesney and a girl on the motorcycle. So it's just like a slight program change. And the same thing I want. Backstreet Boys was all.

[Robert Kelly]

Original. All original. Eagles was all original. Like, they had some. The Eagles had, like, this really cool thing, like, in the city where you were being surrounded by, like, New York Brownstones, y. You and Joe Walsh was up above you, like a guitar playing Jesus. And then as you came out of that, you were flying over California, and I.

[Mike Fenoia]

Yeah. So the Dead did a thing where, like, you started out in California and you lifted up into space, and the whole thing happens in space. But one of the things they did, too, was you were in a. They put right angles, and the room was made out of old backstage passes. And then Kenny Chesney did the exact same thing. Like, almost, like, bit.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

There. Yes. I'm saying by Bet, if someone comes in, they go, I don't really have, like, a crazy artistic vision for this. Yeah, yeah.

[Robert Kelly]

Yeah. I'm sure Kenny was like, yeah, give me some of the Dead stuff. Because he's kind of. He loves that Jimmy Buffett. Well, that's Dead Dead thing, anyway.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

So. Oh.

[Robert Kelly]

Really? He's already kind of Nick in the.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Dead. Kenny.

[Mike Fenoia]

Chesney. Kenny Chesney's thing was like. Like one of the songs that actually was really neat. The thing that he did on the Sphere was it was like an. Like a carnival after dark, like, when it closed and you could see, like, the puddles in the fucking ground and, like, the reflection from the Ferris wheel and the water and the lights and the moon. That was really cool. The music was fucking terrible, but it was like. I hate that shit. But it was fun to go.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

To. I don't know his stuff.

[Mike Fenoia]

Particularly. I just can't stand this, like, easy country.

[Robert Kelly]

The. The new country.

[Mike Fenoia]

Yeah. Just cold beer on a Friday night and my girl in a truck and this. It's just, like, seven.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Words. I get more than the bluesy. Like I said, the Marcus King, kind of.

[Mike Fenoia]

Like. Absolutely, dude. There's some really.

[Robert Kelly]

Good. Tyler Childers is.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Amazing. I keep hearing he's really.

[Robert Kelly]

Good. Yeah, I've seen him in concert three times. Oh.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Yeah. He's now Chris Tableson guy was good.

[Robert Kelly]

Too. Yeah, no, he's great. He's great. I mean, he's a little. Just because he's so humongous on the pop side, it's a little weird.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

But. Oh, really? It's going like.

[Robert Kelly]

That. It's a great concert.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah. Is that Brian.

[Mike Fenoia]

Country? No, no, there's two. There's that Brown and Zach Brian. They're both.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Country. Yeah.

[Mike Fenoia]

Yeah. One of them's the Chicken Fried, like that.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Song. I think I met Zach Brown. Is that who we met? We met Zach Brown. Zach Brian's who at Zach Brown? At Kid.

[Robert Kelly]

Ross. At the Kid Rock. Yeah, he was at the after.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Party. Yeah. One of the first year they did.

[Robert Kelly]

It. It was super. Yeah, that was the best.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Year. That was the best year. That was what I as we met Marcus King.

[Robert Kelly]

Also.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Yeah. He came over. Marcus was in the middle of the. He was in the middle of the Kid Rock bit that they tried to Shane with also because he came over and he was like. I just noticed I'm talking to him again. Mark is such a funny guy. If you don't have any point of reference on him, which I'm surprised I didn't with how much I like him and know his stuff.

[Mike Fenoia]

Now.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Right. And how good he is. I didn't. Really wasn't familiar with this thing. And I just see this guy who came over to say he was a big fan of the Bonfire particularly. And then I'm like, wow, that's cool. And then I look down and I'm like, he's crazy looking. And then I see he's got a watch on that's not connected. I mean, it's around his wrist, but it's. It's not.

[Robert Kelly]

Like. It's not clock.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Sealed. It's squeezing his wrist wide open. Yeah. And I go, what's that? And he goes, oh, man. Kid Rock gave me this watch. Kid Rock gives you a watch, man. Whether it fits or not, you just wear it. And then you find out that's part of Kid Rock's the bit he does where he gives people watches. He wears $18 watches just to give them away and go, it's $200,000 watch right there. And he walks off the roof. Dude. When he did that to Shane Gillis and them in the green room in Nashville. Nashville, did you know the story he did that? Kid Rock did that. He left and he Tried to give it to Shane. Shane was like, no, man, I can't take that for. He didn't know. He goes, I can't take that for. So they just gave it to, like, Nate Marshall or one of the other guys and left. And then Shane was like, dude, we're giving that back to him. Or we're like. And then Shane was like, well, you're not keeping. It's like, give it to me. You know, I mean, he wanted to give it to me. So it's the argument, I guess, when it goes on before someone looks it up to be like, oh, it's an $18 walker. Which is a good talk about. I'd say, I'll give Kid Rock credit for that, man. It's a great fucking grenade of a.

[Mike Fenoia]

Joke. It's.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Hilarious. He.

[Mike Fenoia]

Doesn'T. You can do.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Forever. He doesn't even get the payoff from now. It's Ari Shafir level of like, I'll leave this chaos and it'll unfold. I'm not even here. I'll just let it unfold. They'll all deal with it later. I like that. That was pretty fucking good thing. But not knowing that story till later and just seeing like. Like us nodding and understanding. He's like, hey, man, Kid Rock gives you a watch, though. You wear it even if it doesn't fit. I go, I get it.

[Mike Fenoia]

Man. He's.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Great.

[Robert Kelly]

Marcus.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Yeah. Yeah, he's fantastic. Do you play guitar? Good of the watch. That you've performed and played guitar in front of, like, real musicians has got to be nerve wracking.

[Robert Kelly]

As. Dude. Oh, yeah. No. You saw me have, like, the greatest, worst night of my life four nights in a row when I would go out and play with Jelly Roll.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Yeah. On the. On the Fully Loaded tour, Chris would go out and he would play in Jelly Roll. Did like, three, like, not acoustic, I guess, but like. Yeah, acoustic. Three acoustic.

[Robert Kelly]

Songs. And I would back. I played the guitar for him, and he'd sing, and he would sing. And before night one, I'd played for maybe 200 people, and night one was 8,000. I walked out there and.

[Mike Fenoia]

Then.

[Robert Kelly]

Tuned it up, and we did sound check and everything. We go out there. Night one, nothing works. My guitar's not on jelly. Can't hear anything. And so we're literally out there for eight minutes just not. Not knowing what to do. And I was like, this is not how I pictured this the last four months of.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Rehearsal. Oh.

[Robert Kelly]

Fuck. And then we did start. I was just like. And, yeah, we got through.

[Mike Fenoia]

It. What songs did you.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Play? One thing you had to go out there and do. Lose.

[Robert Kelly]

Yourself. Oh, I had to learn a rap method. I had to.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Learn. His arms are heavy, knees.

[Mike Fenoia]

Weaks. Arms are already mom spaghetti. That's great.

[Robert Kelly]

Dude. And I was just. And I would just look at Jelly because if I looked to the right, I saw all the.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

People. Oh, yeah. Your eyes closed and like, to him and just keeping the head.

[Mike Fenoia]

Moving. Dude, it's like when you're pissing at a.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Urinal. Funny. It would be like where there were, like, Oklahoma City Thunder play. It was like these weird places. You're doing the same guitar gig as, like, tool. Yeah.

[Sponsor Voice]

Nuts.

[Mike Fenoia]

Yeah. That's.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Incredible. That was wild.

[Robert Kelly]

Man. It was fun, man. It was a lot of. And then. Well, and the thing was, I was with Jelly, so they would all go and do, like, all the fun stuff and we would fly somewhere and. Because Jelly can't sleep on a.

[Mike Fenoia]

Bus. Oh.

[Robert Kelly]

Yeah. So we would have to, like, drive halfway to where we're going, stop at a hotel, sleep, and then drive the rest of the.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Way. Oh, to the Fully.

[Robert Kelly]

Loaded. To the. On the fully loaded.

[Mike Fenoia]

Yeah. Meanwhile, they're like.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Still. One of my favorite things, though, David, tell when. Because Jelly Roll at the end of the night was how you'd have, like the. The round tables, you know, with all the comics and everybody leaning it and me and Soder and like, Attel would just like, collect enough, like, listening of things to go laugh off by ourselves and. But Jelly Roll just wants to like. He loves comedy, so he's asking. Everybody wants to know about this and how you come up with it. Just like radio questions that you wouldn't particularly enjoy if it wasn't Jelly Roll asking you. Yeah, so. Yeah, but you know, he means well. So you're just like. Everyone's kind of like, you know, talking to him and tell him whatever. And then we walk into David Teller just go in that line. He just goes. He goes, oh. He goes, I can't do any more of these behind the comedy.

[Mike Fenoia]

Conversations. That's great. So when did you know you wanted to do.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

This? Yeah, it was just like. Which, by the way, is the sweetest? And it's like, Jelly Roll is so famous and the sweet guy. So you want to, like, be there for the thing, but you're just like, oh, man, I had to do this on KTLU this.

[Mike Fenoia]

Morning. Skeeter and the Worm asked me this last week. You didn't get to do any of the fun stuff. I would talk to him while he's on fully loaded. He's like, ah, today I rode in a convertible with two angry zebras.

[Robert Kelly]

And oh yeah, no, we would roll in at like.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Six.

[Robert Kelly]

Yeah. And. But it was kind of cool cuz we were like the cool kids showing up, hanging out all.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Day. Yeah, we've already been wind surfing and bunch of.

[Mike Fenoia]

Stuff. Nobody wanted to do a tiger in a batting cage. Dude, everything you said was like, what? It's like a mad.

[Big Jay Oakerson]

Lib. He goes, mike, I can't talk right now. We're wrestling miniature bears. I.

[Robert Kelly]
