"Beautiful Boys" is a podcast about careers, parenthood, marriage, and the chaotic state of the universe staring comedians Mike Cannon and Andy Haynes. They answer the hypothetical question "Which of your comic friends is secretly a murderer?" A conversation about gay rappers leads Andy to reveal that he once had to leave a steam room because there was sex happening in front of him. Bobby tells a story of when Jim Norton killed at a college gig and had to pull over to pleasure himself instead of getting food. Spring is in the air and so is the smell of semen because of the Bradford Pear Tree's delicate white flowers, which harbor compounds that are derivatives of ammonia, which produces the familiar, post-coital scent. *To hear the full show to go www.siriusxm.com/bonfire to learn more FOLLOW THE CREW ON SOCIAL MEDIA: @thebonfiresxm @louisjohnson @christinemevans @bigjayoakerson @robertkellylive @louwitzkee @jjbwolf

Yeah, we did it in JCPenney at the jersey City Mall.
Christine Evans
Did you return the shirts after you were done?
Big Jay Oakerson
No, I have it in my drawer.
Dan Soder
You gotta keep those. Those are forever now.
Big Jay Oakerson
You never know when you need a costume.
Dan Soder
You know it's true. A turtleneck. Whenever you need a turtleneck.
Big Jay Oakerson
You don't know.
Christine Evans
You never know when your friend's gonna invite you to a weird party and tell you you can't dress normal. Hello. Don't mention it. I know. Shut up. That's fantastic.
Dan Soder
Dude, when's the last time you unironically wore a turtleneck?
Big Jay Oakerson
Maybe high school basketball. I was big into the Nick Lachey. Like high turtleneck sweaters.
Dan Soder
Sure.
Big Jay Oakerson
On game day. You had to dress up.
Dan Soder
So I would wear those turtleneck under the sweater.
Mike Cannon
I always wanted to do the blazer with a turtleneck.
Christine Evans
Yeah, but you guys have long necks. Like, thin. Like, I can never wear a turtleneck because I just look like it makes my head fatter.
Mike Cannon
Like fester.
Christine Evans
Yeah, I just. I look like a little thumb coming out of.
Dan Soder
Stop it. I don't like when you say this by yourself. I told you. I'm going to get you what, Jon Bon Jovi blazer Glory Pocahontas necklace.
Christine Evans
I can't wear a Native American.
Dan Soder
You can. You're right.
Mike Cannon
You're pretty ethnically ambiguous.
Dan Soder
You have dysmorphia.
Christine Evans
I can't.
Dan Soder
You could totally wear Jon Bon Jovi. You kind of do.
Big Jay Oakerson
You look like the Native American from the Indian in the Cupboard.
Christine Evans
Buddy, let me tell you something right now. My high school yearbook photo. I am 100% Native American Indian. I have a bolo tie on and a flannel and a. And a curly mullet. I look like I'm from the Navajo tribe.
Dan Soder
You have to complain about your land being taken. Yeah, this was our land.
Christine Evans
Yeah, dude, I'm actually.
Dan Soder
This was my land, dude.
Christine Evans
I'm just trying to tell my dad we have to get in the casino business. No, we should not. We should sell pelts and jewelry either side of the road.
Dan Soder
Dad. Dude, we should start the casino. Get in on some of that white wampum. Oh, the gay.
Christine Evans
What is it? The gay earring. What did that start. Did you guys remember? I don't know. You might be too young. I think you guys, the. When I came up, the earrings. If you wore it in the left, you were gay, and the right, you were straight.
Mike Cannon
I think it was the other way around.
Christine Evans
Was it the other way?
Mike Cannon
Yeah, because I had my left ear pierced.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah, the left is cool. The right is.
Dan Soder
Right was gay.
Big Jay Oakerson
Queer.
Christine Evans
The right was gay.
Mike Cannon
But I got it pierced while I was sucking a guy's dick.
Dan Soder
So.
Mike Cannon
You never know.
Dan Soder
Throws that jaw to the left.
Mike Cannon
It was free at Claire's and you did that.
Dan Soder
So that was a mistake we all made, too, was get the mall piercing.
Christine Evans
I thought you meant sucking a guy's dick. No, because I.
Dan Soder
It wasn't a mistake for all of us.
Christine Evans
We all made it. We all made it in a garage with your friends trying to figure out who's going to be in the band or not.
Dan Soder
Man. I really. If there was any thought that Kanye west was going to put that album out about sucking his. His cousin's dick, he lost any black person that Was still with him for all of his business beliefs and crazy behavior. That's where they just checked out. They go, wait, what?
Big Jay Oakerson
It's literally the first time in all of this that the hip hop community has believed in mental illness. Even Mace was like, I mean, this guy's going through it. We gotta get.
Christine Evans
Jay Z was like, he needs to go to therapy, man. He's the first black guy. He's the first black guy that needs therapy.
Dan Soder
Yo, I bought my man a dream journal so far. Yeah. I mean, that is why I saw. I've seen like three or four things on World Star hip hop of, like, rappers just being like that.
Christine Evans
It's funny though, because a lot of the rappers and a lot of the black community.
Dan Soder
Oh, I thought you were good. Oh, you started with an end. Yeah, that was crazy.
Christine Evans
I didn't start with an end.
Dan Soder
Yeah, you did.
Christine Evans
I did.
Mike Cannon
It's terrifying.
Dan Soder
You know, a lot of the black and hip hop community, nothing gay. That's what you did. Listen back.
Christine Evans
I'm trying to get the blog replay. It's that Massachusetts just embreaded in me. I don't even know it was there.
Big Jay Oakerson
I think it was good. It softened the homophobia.
Dan Soder
It did, yeah. We went, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, okay, that's fine.
Christine Evans
No, but it is weird because think about all the gay stuff that's going on in the hip hop community.
Dan Soder
Well, Naim Ali said that last night. He was like. He goes, black people. We were watching a video of. Do you remember the Burger King Crown lunatic on the airplane that was screaming the N word. It was like a viral video like a year or two ago. And no, we were saying mental. And I was like, you see all the black people on the plane, Even though he's screaming the N word at this black lady, Most of the black people there and guys and girls, not even that they're afraid of the guy. They're just like, can they deal with this so we can get moving on this plane? Like, no one cares. And he was like, black people don't give a shit about the N word being yelled at no more. It was like, all the rappers are gay. There's so much going on, every angle. It was so funny the way he just said he's all the rappers are gay now. That was the funniest at that last whatever. One of the BET Awards or something at Lil Nas X performed. And at the end of it, it was one of the performances. His, like, wiener fell out at one point. He's like, oops. And had to cover It. And the other one just ended with him just French kissing a guy hard. And then it goes. When we come back to the whatever awards, you know, whoever's performing, and he just go, like. You just see, like, the Little Waynes in Met Man's in the audience. Like, well, everyone's like. They're just kind of like, I guess, man. Like, just. Their faces are just like, all right.
Christine Evans
Oh, man. It's just. Look, I'm. Whatever you want to do.
Dan Soder
We're gonna go to commercial.
Christine Evans
It's just. That is nuts.
Dan Soder
Play the two minutes. This isn't the. This is a. Oh, it's entertainment. I got you. I got you.
Christine Evans
It's nuts, dude.
Dan Soder
But, yeah, it's so. I mean, right afterwards, these go. Let me come back. And just, like. Just happened to get as, like, Method man or. Or a little way. It was like a couple, like, older school guys that were just like, I guess this is music, you know, it's like just watching. Becoming Old man in real time. Like, I don't understand music anymore. Clearly.
Big Jay Oakerson
That's like the black version of that Borat mma, right? And he starts making out with somebody.
Dan Soder
I mean, yeah.
Christine Evans
Really?
Dan Soder
It was like. Like a joke at the end. What was it? Snl. One of them is Wiener. Just completely popped out. He just covered it with his hands. He's like, oops. And you're just like. Everyone's watching. Like, what do you do? Why?
Big Jay Oakerson
That's hoping for, like. That's hoping for some sort of reaction to kind of boost the moment. Right. Like, he's making it. Making out is not even that salacious anymore. But if somebody were to react or freak out or controversy, it's like, that's.
Christine Evans
More or less like, they didn't even, like, kiss. That was, like, passion.
Dan Soder
Yeah.
Christine Evans
Which is like, another level.
Big Jay Oakerson
No, that was love and basketball.
Christine Evans
Yes. Seeing a guy kiss another guy. I don't really care about seeing passion between two dancers.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Dan Soder
Yeah.
Christine Evans
It's just like, ah, well, what was Little Nas X? Yeah.
Dan Soder
Also that video he had where they're all. All dancing naked in the shower. Is. Is this it?
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Dan Soder
They're dancing naked in the shower, though. I mean, their dicks must have been taped up, because the kind of grind dancing they're doing, your meat would be constantly just slapping the tiles. There's no way that these guys have little dicks.
Christine Evans
Yeah. Not ours, but, yeah.
Dan Soder
Cut to that. Cut to the scene where they're. Christine, please. My favorite scene. It should be. It should be bookmarked.
Christine Evans
It's the only way Jay comes Man, he really.
Big Jay Oakerson
He really leaned into the whole devil thing, huh?
Christine Evans
They all do. They all do devil now. It's we weird.
Big Jay Oakerson
I mean, I think it's because of.
Dan Soder
Again, see if they go to the commercial.
Christine Evans
I mean there's so much passion in that kiss.
Dan Soder
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, no, don't. Oh, it goes. That's like a.
Christine Evans
They pan to the audience and you just see the other rap.
Dan Soder
Go to the music video. Go to the music video where their dicks are bouncing off Lil Wayne.
Big Jay Oakerson
It's a paper bag. He's vomiting it.
Christine Evans
I forget exactly who it is, but it's great. I think. Is Method man there? Yeah. Oh, no.
Mike Cannon
I didn't know this was gonna be the gay test episode.
Dan Soder
Yeah.
Metro Ad
Oh, that's the bonfire.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, they gotta be taped for sure.
Christine Evans
You haven't listened to the show since Dan left. So they're probably wearing little underwear. They're blurted. Yeah, we stopped doing voices and we started doing gay stuff.
Dan Soder
Baby, you picked a good day to cross your legs when you sit.
Mike Cannon
Yeah, I'm not going to be able to stand up for a half an hour. I'm as hard as Chinese geometry right now.
Dan Soder
Man. Look at all. Look at all these gay guys. Super stoked to be in jail.
Christine Evans
That's momoa, right?
Dan Soder
Just went to an all gay jail. Oh, the smell in that place would not be good. But everyone's happy.
Christine Evans
Oh, look at this.
Dan Soder
Except Jack Harlo. There's like a human fleshlight in that place. Oh, man. Oh, wow.
Christine Evans
That's to put up his ass. It's a little hammer. That's actually a two headed dildo.
Dan Soder
No, man, I wasn't giving you to break out. I was to put up your ass.
Big Jay Oakerson
Him crawling through the hole is a total.
Christine Evans
That's actually somebody's. Dude.
Big Jay Oakerson
That looks like a scene from the.
Dan Soder
Boys going up someone's ass. I'm in this colon now. How many gay. How many outwardly gay rappers are there now?
Big Jay Oakerson
I think like Frank Ocean and him.
Mike Cannon
Is that it wasn't Tyler.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh yeah. Tyler the creator. That's right. Yeah.
Dan Soder
He doesn't buy sexual stuff.
Big Jay Oakerson
I don't know. He speaks pretty openly about having sex with dudes. Like pretty explicit.
Dan Soder
Christine, give our tickets back. I'm not going.
Christine Evans
Why? Go.
Dan Soder
We're going.
Christine Evans
Go where you pink?
Mike Cannon
And then there's the.
Big Jay Oakerson
No, what's his tits? Gerard said to Tyler that he was like really attracted to him and in love with him and it's a very uncomfortable interview.
Dan Soder
I know. Oh, it's extremely uncomfortable.
Christine Evans
We watched it and Then he got a. Just a boy toy to come over and he sucked his.
Dan Soder
Sucked his toes. There's only one way to feel better about embarrassing yourself. Asking a Tyler creator to suck a rando's feet.
Christine Evans
Which. I'd rather watch somebody suck a penis than suck some other dude's foot. It's somehow more gay.
Big Jay Oakerson
I just think it doesn't even matter. Dude, woman, Whatevs. In that situation, if you're, like, calling over a person that's been hoofing it all day, you've never met them before, and then you ask them to inject their toes into your open, wet mouth, that. That, to me, seems like kind of odd behavior.
Dan Soder
You're asking for it either way. I agree. Man or a woman. But this. Just because we are straight men, it does hit a little harder that it's just sucking on a guy's foot.
Mike Cannon
I went to a gay bath house accidentally. That was kind of a. That was. I swear, Mike's. Mike's been there with me.
Christine Evans
Yeah. Wow. I did.
Big Jay Oakerson
I went after hours.
Christine Evans
Now, your promo pick makes a lot of sense. Yeah.
Mike Cannon
That was the most homoerotic thing I've ever done. Mike was so.
Christine Evans
Suck Mike off on a ba. Bath.
Mike Cannon
No, it was so. He was so hot. His crotch was, like, radiating heat.
Big Jay Oakerson
But we took those pictures. I have a real. I have a real warm center.
Christine Evans
So you went. You. You went to where you went.
Dan Soder
You know the place guys got a hot core.
Mike Cannon
The Russian Turkish bath?
Christine Evans
Yes. You went on the wrong day.
Mike Cannon
I went on the wrong day. And I clocked it pretty early, but I was like, I paid the money already, so I was like, maybe I can weather this. And then I, like, got in there and I was like, it's getting pretty gay. Like, it was like I was walking towards the gay son. And I was like, I'm a liberal. Like, I don't have a problem with these guys being gay. And then I went in the steam room, and they were just fully fucking. And I was like, I got it.
Christine Evans
They were what?
Mike Cannon
Fucking.
Christine Evans
Oh, they fuck. Yeah. In their butts in the steam room.
Mike Cannon
Wet, blowing, slapping.
Dan Soder
No, save your spit. This thing's already damp.
Big Jay Oakerson
That's got to be the ideal spot, right, buddy?
Christine Evans
You should have just sat down and enjoyed the show.
Mike Cannon
Dude, I did sit down.
Dan Soder
He was kidding, by the way.
Christine Evans
Kidding?
Mike Cannon
No, it was steamy, and so I couldn't really clock what was going on. And then I was like, I'm not going to look. I'm not going to look. And I looked over and I was like, yeah, I got to get out of here.
Christine Evans
Yeah, because you got hard.
Mike Cannon
That too. I was me. I had to get out of there.
Dan Soder
Do you even have to look? I feel you hear like no one's butt silent. No, the guy getting it at very least going.
Christine Evans
Like a cartoon, like Bugs Bunny, like falling down the stairs.
Big Jay Oakerson
At the minimum, he's doing 10 push ups.
Christine Evans
Here's the thing though. So you go into. You go into the steam room because I've been there on co ed day. Which is just. It's. It's kind of. It's not uncomfortable. But they. They brought a girl in and the Russian guys who give the leaf massages brought this smoking hot blonde and she came in in a bikini and they just beat the bikini off of her.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Christine Evans
And it just came off and she was just topless. And it was just me and a bunch of other guys looking over our brows at this girl getting a massage, trying not to be perverse and trying not to fill up. And I was like, I gotta get out of here because it's getting too. It's getting too weird. Like some. Some weird assault is about to happen.
Dan Soder
I don't wanna be. I wouldn't. Ari Shafir would ask me all the time to go to the gay bathhouse. I guess not on gay night. But even if there's a gay night and then the other times of the week you can go and it's not gay, there's still remnants of gay has to be there. Right. Like load everywhere, I assume.
Mike Cannon
I think Thursday's gay day. So you're not gonna want to go back till Sunday at least.
Dan Soder
You know, let the chlorine do what the chlorine do.
Christine Evans
Then you go into the baths.
Mike Cannon
Yeah.
Christine Evans
Which is. You know, that's nuts too, because you're going right from there.
Dan Soder
That's the gay final, boss.
Christine Evans
Into the. You're going into the bath and you just clean it. You're just cleaning it off.
Mike Cannon
Yeah. It's really bleachy though, that. That bath.
Christine Evans
I don't know if it's that bleachy.
Dan Soder
Yeah.
Christine Evans
I don't know if it's AIDS bleachy.
Dan Soder
Doesn't it suck that the best way to clean come that would make you feel the most comfortable is if I use bleach ironically. Come smells like bleach.
Christine Evans
Or you could use your mouth.
Dan Soder
What a conundrum. Yeah, I guess you could just slurp it all up.
Big Jay Oakerson
I mean, have you guys talked about it? But. Tis the season. It is come plant season.
Christine Evans
What?
Big Jay Oakerson
Like right now, do you know that come plant in the suburbs especially. But outside of the city there's a certain plant that literally smells like you came in your nose.
Christine Evans
It's a come tre. I talked about this on a 10 years ago look at right. Remember that?
Dan Soder
Absolutely. Remember trees, dude.
Christine Evans
Remember where I brought. You were there when I brought in and they. I was walking, remember I was walking with Dawn. We went to a Starbucks. I walked out and I was like, she, she went to the bathroom at Starbucks and she came out and I was like, did you just suck somebody off? She's like, what? I go, I smell calm. Did you. Did you blow somebody in Starbucks? And I. And it was the, the trees in New York, the white flowered trees. I think you know, whatever they call them dog trees. But it's. It's literally the pollen. Is it dogwood some tree like that? All the white trees in New York right now smell like jizz.
Big Jay Oakerson
They smell like a hotel towel on something.
Christine Evans
Yeah. And they took all the. They. I brought that up on Oban Anthony and they got all the flowers and stuck it in my microwave thing and I was sitting there turning it. I was like. And it just. Disgusting. Yeah.
Dan Soder
That's such a weird thing. That's a great excuse though, right?
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Dan Soder
Like why do you smell like Cummings trees?
Big Jay Oakerson
Babe, it's the trees.
Christine Evans
There it is right there it is. That's it.
Big Jay Oakerson
The Bradford pear tree.
Dan Soder
Unpleasant odor, rotting fish or body odor.
Christine Evans
That's the jizz tree right there. That's the jizz tree.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah. I don't get rotting fish from it but it is like, you know, it's a very specific smell. Come is like, oh, it's so funny. Miss it.
Christine Evans
We know exactly what cum smells like.
Big Jay Oakerson
We've all accidentally hit ourselves too close.
Christine Evans
To the nostril or well sipped out of our thing.
Dan Soder
We all know what our own smells like.
Mike Cannon
Let's do a test.
Dan Soder
Yeah. We only know what our own cum smells.
Big Jay Oakerson
Not Jim Pepsi challenge.
Dan Soder
I think it's time we all come in a different dish, take a smell and see if we can figure out which one's ours.
Christine Evans
I would love to do that right now. We have chips.
Dan Soder
We could dip and go.
Christine Evans
We can get sun chips and dip them like salsa.
Big Jay Oakerson
I like that.
Dan Soder
Yeah.
Big Jay Oakerson
You can also do it like ketamine and just put it on a plate, stick it in the microwave, it comes out in a powder. Then you chop it up and do a line of your own.
Dan Soder
Yeah. These.
Christine Evans
It's so funny. Now can I ask you a question?
Dan Soder
The collary pear virus was so. Smells like Semen so, so detailed.
Christine Evans
There's no. It doesn't say gay night. It's just men only. Yeah, that's. Now, could you go in, Andy? Yeah. If you could have weathered the storm, could you have went in there? Does a guy and not. They're not bothering you, right? Do they know that you're. No, but the.
Mike Cannon
Like the steam room specifically, I think it was kind of like a. Like a. If you're in there, you're probably participating.
Christine Evans
The sauna or the steam room?
Mike Cannon
Steam room.
Christine Evans
So the steam room.
Big Jay Oakerson
Well then wet droplets everywhere.
Dan Soder
And I didn't really toe aids for sure. At least you at least got foot aids.
Mike Cannon
I take foot prep now.
Dan Soder
That's good. Hey, that's very mature.
Big Jay Oakerson
His big toe is just the size of his pinky toe.
Dan Soder
Now some people would just ignore it and act like it's not happening, but you've addressed the issue.
Mike Cannon
I want to be safe.
Dan Soder
That's good.
Christine Evans
It's better than the sauna is better than. I mean the steam room's better than the sauna because the sauna is usually all wood.
Dan Soder
I would disagree.
Christine Evans
The steam room is tile, which you can clean up way easier.
Dan Soder
I got what you mean. You know what I mean. The smell of a steam room already is weird to me. I've never enjoyed that smell. And I feel like that mixed with the smell of butt fuck is gonna be. Is gonna over. I'd rather be maybe in hot wood than wet tile with the smell of buttfuck.
Christine Evans
You'd rather smell jizz cedar?
Dan Soder
I'd rather fuck yeah. I'd rather lick a jizz tree.
Christine Evans
Well, because I had a. When I lived in the dorm man building when I first moved to New York that. Remember that place with a basketball court and it was like the highest tech gym I've ever been to. It had a fingerprint print recognition before that was even available. 24 hour basketball.
Dan Soder
Rogan has that on his closets.
Christine Evans
Well, Matt. Yeah, but he has that on his guns.
Dan Soder
That for everything. Yobo.
Christine Evans
But they had this amazing gym and they had a steam. A sauna. And I was like, oh God. And I remember I would go into the sauna. I'd go work on it. Going to the sauna. And then one day I just came down. It was shut off, closed forever. Because they. People kept going in there and just guys in the building would go down to the sauna in the middle of the night and just fuck each other in the sauna and not even know each other. It was just a hookup.
Big Jay Oakerson
I think that's important though, to have that's a resource. Just like there's a gym, little safe spot for just dudes, frustrated dudes in the building, cork on each other.
Dan Soder
But that's how the Jeffrey Dahmers find their victims in those worlds also when it's pushed off.
Christine Evans
I did live in the building with Jim Norton. I wonder if he was a culprit. Yeah, we caught this guy. He kept trying to blow everybody that went in the sauna.
Dan Soder
Is Jim Norton? Is Jim Norton the answer? If you had a friend. Have you ever had a question? If you have one friend you would find out has killed somebody but you don't know about it. What friend do you think that would be?
Christine Evans
Oh, it would probably be Rich Voss.
Dan Soder
You think Rich Voss possibly killed somebody?
Christine Evans
Yeah, because he was around when people. You could just shoot somebody and not go to jail.
Dan Soder
Oh, the old West.
Christine Evans
Yeah.
Dan Soder
Understood.
Christine Evans
Well, you're looking to me fun. A stranger.
Dan Soder
Have you ever killed a guy Rich? You ever killed someone rich? He goes, are you counting Doles? I get involved in a few Doles.
Big Jay Oakerson
Before spit was identifiable. DNA.
Christine Evans
Yeah, right. I found gold in the hills.
Big Jay Oakerson
Mine's Feeny for sure. He's got bodies.
Dan Soder
There might just be some dark thing in his past.
Christine Evans
You know what, dude? That is Feeny definitely is too put together on the outside visually.
Dan Soder
And he tries total metal head too underneath all that, but. Yeah, but looks like he never dressed.
Big Jay Oakerson
The part of that simmering rage.
Christine Evans
Yeah, he looks simmering. If you saw him running down the street naked from a fucking rape death, you'd be like, oh my God, I get it. Like if he's just running down the.
Dan Soder
Street that night, just a woman's bloody handprints all over.
Christine Evans
Yeah, yeah. Which is his wing?
Mike Cannon
Wong flapping Mike Feeney, the Gilgo beach murderer.
Christine Evans
Running from a gay steam room. Imagine being out at the lake, having a fantastic day. The grills on, the family's there, the dogs barking. It's beautiful. But guess what? Now imagine your smell. You got body odor that stinks. Well, Dove Men plus care Whole Body do helps keep your bones from ruining the good days.

Mike Cannon
I did try to murder somebody. No, I was going to try to hit them up to ask for a refund.
Christine Evans
Yeah, that's good.
Mike Cannon
Because I was. I was just in there for like 15 minutes and I was like, you didn't even come.
Christine Evans
You know, come. You know why you can't come.
Mike Cannon
But I was going to be like, you know why?
Christine Evans
Because you know, suck dick. Why you come along day. It's not my fault you don't suck dick. You look like you suck a dick.
Dan Soder
What? Fuck Night.
Christine Evans
We should all go there and ruin. We should all go. We should get like 10 of us to go on gay day and just ruin it.
Dan Soder
No, let's ruin it. Let's see if we. If they enjoy. We'll get in the circles around them when they start and just like, yes. Like in rhythm.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah, yeah.
Christine Evans
Like, like, like the J. Hud.
Dan Soder
Yeah. Yes. We sent them down the gauntlet.
Christine Evans
We sent him down the gauntlet. Go, go. Go, Jeremy.
Dan Soder
Go, Jeremy.
Big Jay Oakerson
I was thinking like a dog fighting ring. Like, almost. Michael. Michael Vick's Bad News Kennels. Gay dudes.
Dan Soder
We'll wave money. We'll wave money around them like this.
Christine Evans
Yeah, but the thing was, we did that. One of us would want to get in our ducks. Our dick sucked. See, one of us would just be like, hey, dude, just relax.
Dan Soder
Another. Promise. You don't want to be the person when we all leave the steam room, the last person who looks back one more time. Hey, what'd you look back for?
Christine Evans
I forgot my watch.
Dan Soder
No, no. I thought. No, no, I just. You did it again.
Big Jay Oakerson
Left.
Dan Soder
Yeah.
Christine Evans
Hey, real quick, guys. I think I left my iPhone in there. I'll be right back. I gotta grab. You want us to come? Nah, nah, I got.
Big Jay Oakerson
I'll meet you at the diner.
Dan Soder
Or the guy who stays a little behind us, tell the guys. He goes, we're just around, man. We're just playing around, you guys. We don't think anything's weird here. Yes. You guys look here. And we got a good time here.
Christine Evans
Here's the right thing. Here's if you're not gay. Oh, you're. You know, you go in there to be big.
Dan Soder
If.
Christine Evans
If you. If you. If. But if, like, if you were like, hey, man, I'm gonna go down there and check this out. And then you. You're in a steam room, and then you. You around with somebody, and then you look over and I buy some. Buy something like Cannon going, yo, dude, I'd be like. I'd be like, dude, I'll suck your dick if you keep it. Just keep it quiet.
Dan Soder
Bump into somebody and you both have to explain you came on the wrong day. No, no, no. I thought it was. I had last year's calendar.
Big Jay Oakerson
I got my Thursdays and Tuesdays mixed.
Christine Evans
It'd be so embarrassing if you did meet somebody you knew that you didn't know was gay. And they were just getting. If you. If they just noticed you, they're getting railed from behind. And then they look over and they're like, andy, they're just casual. Hey, hey.
Dan Soder
First thing I would do on gay night, Go in. Take a. In the woman's locker room. A stretched leg. Real throne. Real throne shit. No one's bothering me in there. Although a million years ago, I always said that was the most I've ever had to go to the bathroom. Didn't get to go. And it went away completely. Was driving down west side highways. Me and Kevin Hart in my Saturn. We're driving up the west side highway to a gig. And I just had to go to the bathroom so bad. And I just pulled over. I'm going to this bar. It was a bar on the west side Highway. I just pulled over on the side of the highway and I went in. And I saw dudes, like, male strippers on stage, but almost like Chippendales kind of looking. And I walked in and I was like, oh, great. But I was like, hey, can I use your bathroom real quick? And they were like, yeah, yeah, it's in the back. So I went in the back into the men's room. Men's room's only one stall. And it was. It said, out of order on the actual. It was a. It was a urinal and a stall. The stall said out of order. But I was like, I don't care if this thing can flush or not. Like, I have to just go. And then I opened it. Somebody else had that idea already. Oh, Joe was blown. And I was like. So then I was walking out defeated, still having the shit pretty bad. And the guy goes. I go. He goes, did you go already? And I was like, no. I said, saddle. He goes, go in the girls room. There's no one in there. And I was like, as I'm Walking to it. I'm like, why would there be. Oh, oh. And as soon as I opened the woman's bathroom door, there was just a guy chugging cock. Another guy's cocking there. And he goes, occupied. And I just left. I didn't. And the shit pain went away, though I will say, it crawled back up.
Mike Cannon
I thought there was going to be somebody in there dressed like a toilet.
Big Jay Oakerson
Seat over their face.
Dan Soder
There you go. Excuse me, sir. They go, I'm not a person. Let's go, man.
Christine Evans
He has a toto tattoo on his forehead now. Why didn't you say anything? Like, guys, you gotta get out. I gotta go poop. Get out of here. Take that outside.
Dan Soder
They were so brazen. They didn't. They didn't react like they had been caught.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Dan Soder
They were like, what the are you doing in here?
Christine Evans
That's their spot.
Dan Soder
Yeah, that's what. Oh, all right.
Christine Evans
That's where you belong.
Dan Soder
And then I was like. And then I went by the gun. He was like. He's like, what happened now? I go, there's people in there. And he just kind of went like, yeah, well, that's what it is. And I got back in the car and Kevin was like, that was fast. I'm like. Like, there's no point in telling you this. You're not gonna think it's funny. You're gonna think I'm gay now.
Christine Evans
Yeah.
Dan Soder
That was the 90s, when everything was anti gay.
Christine Evans
Yeah. Anti gay. Yeah. Racism didn't exist.
Dan Soder
Racism did not exist.
Christine Evans
We did not like gays. I remember I was driving back with Norton from upstate New York, SUNY Delhi. You remember that?
Dan Soder
Sure.
Christine Evans
This guy Marty back.
Dan Soder
I don't know.
Big Jay Oakerson
I did that gig.
Dan Soder
Terrible gig. Great guy.
Christine Evans
Guy was the greatest guy ever. Terrible gig for some people. But you never knew when it was your turn to be the terrible gig guy because I would go up. I went up with Corey Ellie once. He bombed. I went up. Killed.
Dan Soder
Yeah, that was me, you and Coryelli.
Christine Evans
Right. And I went up. Killed it, by the way.
Dan Soder
I did okay.
Christine Evans
You did great.
Dan Soder
Coryelli did eat shit.
Christine Evans
Yeah, He.
Dan Soder
And then Bobby destroyed. And then they started booking from that weekend. They started booking me to headline it. And I never did good once.
Christine Evans
That's what happened with me. They booked. They booked me up there with Norton, and I'm like, he's gonna eat it. I'm gonna kill. I go up first and this girl. Because it was a black school. Mainly black. Right. And I remember this girl walked in.
Dan Soder
No sports, though. Weird.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah. They did two year School, right?
Christine Evans
Yeah, two years ago. And I remember they. She walked by with her hair, you know, like a weird. I don't know, it said something about her hair. It was just the wrong thing. And they turned on me, dude. I was pulling up the plane's nose for 25 minutes just trying to get off on a joke. I finally got off on a ha, ha. And I go, give it up for Jim Norton. He goes out, murders, murders. I was so mad because I'm like, at least I'm gonna watch this pipsqueak just eat his dick. And they loved him. And we're driving home and I'm like, dude, I'm really hungry. I'm really sad because I pumped and it's, you know, that you need something to help you. And he goes, no, we gotta get home. I wanna get home. I go, please, just stop. He goes, no. All of a sudden, we see an adult bookstore, and he almost goes through the middle of the road and he goes, where? The cops go. I'm like, what are you doing? He goes, I wanna stop here for a second. I'm like, what? He goes in and he goes to a. He goes, not even to get a. He just goes into the peep booth.
Dan Soder
Nice to jerk off to a video on a screen.
Christine Evans
Yeah. But he. He cut. So I'm out front.
Dan Soder
To have to jerk your wheel to go jerk off to a video is insane.
Big Jay Oakerson
I almost respect that ability, though, to know yourself that well and then to also be able to show up for yourself in that moment.
Dan Soder
For sure, to show up. But just the idea that you're like, I like. Things will be better right now if I stop everything I'm doing and jerk off publicly.
Christine Evans
He. He went in, came out around 15 minutes later. Angry fucking motherfuckers. I'm like, what? He goes, these fucking. This gay guy wouldn't stop knocking on my door because it's a. You know, it's a place where you go to get sucked off. Right. But he wanted to jerk off to the video or whatever. And I was just so wild that we're in the middle. I'm starving. You won't stop to get me a hamburger. McDonald's, but you'll stop to crank one out.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Christine Evans
And be harassed by an older gay guy in the woods of upstate New York.
Dan Soder
That guy would just fucking put on some fake titties. He'd have been fun. She would have opened the door and married him. Well, I asked him, get in here, you.
Christine Evans
We finally did. We finally did stop for McDonald's. And I was out front, I was like, dude, like, would you let a. Let me ask you a question. Would you. For like a million dollars, would you. And nobody knows you, get the money? Would you suck off a guy if he was gonna. Would you blow a guy and put it in your mouth? This is before I knew who Jim really was. And he's like, yeah, I played a. I paid a black girl 500 to shit on my chest today. Of course I'd suck a guy off for a million dollars. Yeah.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Mike Cannon
I love back when you'd say a million. $50 million, and now it's like 15k. I don't know.
Dan Soder
Yeah. When real life gets in the way of things, like, I could actually use this money for what can probably be five minutes of work if I'm good at it.
Christine Evans
Buddy, if you get my driveway redone, I'll suck your dick. You can do an H VAC of 5, one of those Mitsubishi things. I'll fucking stick my finger in your ass.
Big Jay Oakerson
Are you good at editing reels?
Christine Evans
Can you get me Traction in the rhythm? Can you get me a Joe Matarise Traction?
Dan Soder
You saw Joe Matarize had a couple hundred thousand views on something, turned you all around.
Christine Evans
Well, it's just. I mean, God bless him. I'm so happy for him.
Dan Soder
No, you're not.
Christine Evans
Yeah, I am.
Dan Soder
No, you're not.
Christine Evans
Yes, I am.
Dan Soder
It's not.
Christine Evans
Ask me again. Ask me again.
Dan Soder
Are you happy for him?
Christine Evans
Yes, I am.
Dan Soder
You don't care.
Christine Evans
I do care.
Dan Soder
No, but here's the thing. I think it's great. All you're doing is wondering how out of nowhere, right when he doesn't have that many followers.
Christine Evans
15,000, 20,000.
Dan Soder
And he. But he's got videos, multiple videos, you say now that have hundreds of thousands of views.
Christine Evans
300,000.
Dan Soder
And I assume that would be part of one of those things that I get constantly, all day that go, hey, increase boost views on your thing by this much by paying for this much and blah, blah, blah. But you are the only person he seemed to have fooled with this.
Christine Evans
I'm the only person. I'm the only person that would actually blow a guy when I could just pay $50 to a company. Yeah, a lot. Good for him. I'm actually.
Dan Soder
I don't look at that strangely. The one right under five grand. Look at that. Look at that weird dip off. Look at that strange consistency. Starting three days ago.
Christine Evans
No, he's actually 23,000. 20,000.
Dan Soder
2036.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah, he's doing. He's got a good body.
Christine Evans
He's got a Great body. He's really in shape for his age. Oh, yeah, yeah. He looks great, man. Good for him. I don't care. It's just. It's weird to me because I don't understand how the thing works, how you get this traction. And then everybody says, dude, it's the algorithm. I'm like, what the fuck does that mean? Dude, it changes all the time. It's like, fuck, dude.
Dan Soder
Have you tried blowing a guy and see.
Christine Evans
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I'm up for it. You got to just maybe, huh?
Dan Soder
I think you're thinking too much of, like, you're going to blow the person who's going to do it. How about you just blow a guy and put that positivity out there in the world and then maybe your social situation will. I believe and I don't know. Is that what the cloud is? I think I'm talking about the cloud.
Christine Evans
Didn't Jay Moore do a movie about that pay forward? Isn't that how it works? Yeah, I blow him, right? And then now he's at the Lakers dynasty. I mean, what the.
Dan Soder
And then fortune will proverbially, metaphorically blow you.
Christine Evans
You.
Dan Soder
And you will be. Yeah, yeah. Topsy turvy.
Christine Evans
What a great gig to marry just a millionaire. Bill, I think, Bill, I married a Pollock from Everett. She's got like five grand in her bank. Yeah. She's got a diamond collection. I don't know if it's real for.
Dan Soder
Sure, but she's got scars on her fist from fights. And you respect that?
Christine Evans
I do respect that.
Dan Soder
Goddamn respect the show. She would probably beat the shit out of Christine. Christine's California girl.
Christine Evans
Christine's a tough girl.
Big Jay Oakerson
I bet Christine scrapped in high school.
Dan Soder
No, she did.
Christine Evans
She had to have.
Mike Cannon
Who do you think wins, Nicole or Rosebud? I think it's Rosebud, right?
Big Jay Oakerson
No, I think my wife beats the absolute brakes off of Rosebud.
Dan Soder
Wow.
Christine Evans
Jesus Christ.
Mike Cannon
Rosebud is, like, for money. I don't think she's actually been in the.
Big Jay Oakerson
Rosebud is jacked. My wife, she's teensy, too.
Christine Evans
Rosebud will pay somebody to assassinate his wife after the fact. There'll be no evidence.
Dan Soder
Blackwater shit.
Christine Evans
Yeah, exactly.
Big Jay Oakerson
No, my wife got that like, 23andMe. And her muscle is like, of the elite athlete. Like, she's just half a gorilla.
Christine Evans
You'd be cooking burgers out in the backyard here, and your wife would just fall in the pool.
Mike Cannon
It wouldn't even be like that. She'd just have a weird heart Attack. She touched the wrong doorknob.
Christine Evans
Oh, you're talking rich white people killing. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mike Cannon
There'd be no crime.
Dan Soder
Christine, I would rather you be 50 pounds overweight than have Goldberg traps just like these things. Yeah.
Big Jay Oakerson
My wife does walk with her arms spread.
Dan Soder
Lat day.
Christine Evans
Yeah, but you'd find your wife hanging from an elastic cord from a door. She killed, like, Anthony Bourdain. What? She should have a penis.
Big Jay Oakerson
As long as they then boosted my algorithm, I'd be fine.
Dan Soder
Yeah. As long as I get to the algorithm. That's what it is. Paying it forward, like you said.
Big Jay Oakerson
That's right.
Dan Soder
You got to pay it forward.
Christine Evans
It's a weird. It's a weird thing. And your new podcast, that's out.
Dan Soder
Yeah.
Christine Evans
That's great that you guys. I love you two together.
Dan Soder
Thank you.
Christine Evans
So, I. I just. I've never seen you guys talk to each other.
Mike Cannon
We hadn't. It was very random.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Dan Soder
They said you guys were, like, placed together. Like, someone's like, you guys should do something together.
Big Jay Oakerson
Well, I did. I thought, like, So I don't know if you guys are like this, but I think the friends of my friends are my friends.
Dan Soder
Sure.
Big Jay Oakerson
So I'm. I'm, like, best friends with Rosebud for a long time, and I'm friendly with Andy, and I just assume that because of my closeness to Rosebud, we also became best friends when they got married. So after. After I didn't have a podcast, and I was, like, looking to try to do something, and he's confused.
Dan Soder
You constantly keep calling me your best friend. You're like, I really. We don't know each other.
Mike Cannon
I don't have his phone number.
Dan Soder
He's like, no, we're best friends.
Christine Evans
We are. He told me he'd meet me at the Russian spot. He wasn't there.
Dan Soder
I don't even remember my roast as a. Kurt Metzger said about me, he said when he first met me, thought I was retarded, because as soon as we met each other, I called him best friend immediately. That may be kind of true. I was so excited to meet somebody who wasn't just, like, he was the first not lunk that I was friends with, and I was much more lunk. But he was just a person that I was like, ooh, this guy knows about stuff and David lynch movies, anything that just wasn't like, eagles and pussy.
Big Jay Oakerson
That's great. I mean, I always have liked Andy's comedy and thought he was hilarious. And I was just looking to do a new pod. I hit him up. We took those pictures. I heated his entire lower lumbar with my asshole. And in the middle of that he just looked at me and he's like, we've never hung out ever.
Dan Soder
So lunch.
Mike Cannon
Yeah, literally. I stopped the photo shoot to be like, I want everybody to know that we've never actually hung out.
Christine Evans
And the podcast is what?
Mike Cannon
It's just us chatting. Dad, dad, husband, comic.
Dan Soder
Just.
Christine Evans
You guys are both frustrated. Yeah. Frustrated whites. Well, it's not the 90s.
Big Jay Oakerson
No. I mean I have a. I'm a. I'm a new. New dad.
Mike Cannon
