Oh, you do?
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah. This is stained. I forgot they used to mope like children, too. Turn it up, Lou.
Christine
I just want it warmer in the fucking studio.
Big Jay Oakerson
I'm so cold inside. I'm so cold. Dude, a guy describing himself as cold is hilarious. Especially like when it's like, sad cold, they mean. Yeah, not temperature inside. Cold.
Robert Kelly
Sad, cold. Sad, cold.
Big Jay Oakerson
Sad cold. That's the first line of Lewis's poem. It's one of the best things ever in recorded history, is now that I'm feeling cold and alone cold.
Robert Kelly
Oh, blue, you're the best, man. I feel hurt, Lou. Just got my phone.
Big Jay Oakerson
Cold.
Robert Kelly
Nice. That's a. That's a who he is thing right there. What are you doing? Where are you going?
Big Jay Oakerson
Change these chairs. They're always. Oh, shitty. They're all shitty.
Robert Kelly
Sad, cold.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, Lou, turn it back up. Stain's coming in for a landing.
Robert Kelly
You're the.
Big Jay Oakerson
Jacob. So.
Robert Kelly
He. Inside.
Big Jay Oakerson
Jacob's co. Oh, is this the first you could play? Yeah, you could play Louis. The first line of Lewis's poem.
Robert Kelly
Jacob. Sad, cold. I never. I never. I never realized how sad cold he was until right now.
Big Jay Oakerson
The first line of Lewis's poem is the best.
Robert Kelly
Oh, man. This photo of you guys is the best. So old dude, you with long hair.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
Dave hasn't changed his look since he was 10.
Big Jay Oakerson
He just doesn't shop in the.
Robert Kelly
I mean, dude, it's the same.
Big Jay Oakerson
He doesn't shop in Modell's Clearance Rack.
Robert Kelly
Anymore, buddy, it's the same look. He hasn't changed his face.
Big Jay Oakerson
His face is the same.
Robert Kelly
You went through 17 different looks since I've started the bonfire.
Big Jay Oakerson
Totally. Remember my kabuki year? That was crazy. My kabuki year. Go, Christine. Play it. Let's get him up.
Robert Kelly
Explain this again. What is this again?
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, this is. I apologize. I should have explained that.
Robert Kelly
I got you, buddy. This is a duo.
Big Jay Oakerson
That was good. The little shit.
Robert Kelly
I'm going to throw it up and.
Big Jay Oakerson
Then you hit it. If you know Legion of Skanks and you don't know the poem, you fucked up. Because if anyone ever asks me, and we gotta be in a Thousand Plus Skanks episodes at at least, and in all those episodes, I always say we never. We peaked at episode 20, the Lewis poem, where Lewis was. I revisit this a couple times a year myself. Just on the road where I show it to people.
Robert Kelly
So you're saying that episode 20 was. That was the. The best it's gonna get.
Big Jay Oakerson
It's never gonna get any better. I've never.
Robert Kelly
How many are you up to now?
Big Jay Oakerson
Thousands. Maybe at least a thousand.
Robert Kelly
I think that's true with every podcast.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. 20 was our peak. At least for me. I haven't laughed this hard since. You hear why I laugh every year at this and I listen to it is to remind myself there was a time in my life where I laughed. Actually, I enjoyed it. At Lewis. At. No, with. Instead of at. But anyway, Louis, when we were younger and he lived around the corner from me, he was dating this girl, cute young girl. And then when they broke up, you know, she left. He got in the car with me one night and he goes. He was like, oh, man, I'm really. He's like, you know, I don't say her name, but, like, she left me. Whatever. And I'm like, oh, man, that sucks. I'm sorry to hear that. He's like, yeah, I wrote her a poem. I was like, ah, that's cool, man. But, you know, just don't send that yet, just because, you know, just think on that for a day because it's pretty fresh in my mind. I know it's going to happen, which is what happened. He's going to send it, and she's going to laugh with all of her friends at it.
Robert Kelly
So you tried to get him not to send it. So that's when you still had human in you?
Big Jay Oakerson
Yes, I did. I was like, yeah, Yeah. I was like, buddy, don't. Well, there's no such Thing as podcast back then or anything.
Robert Kelly
That's when you were still little J from Philly.
Big Jay Oakerson
Podcast didn't exist.
Robert Kelly
Hey, dude, you don't do that yet. When you gave sage advice, you never. Instead of now, where you give podcast advice, dude, send that immediately.
Big Jay Oakerson
This.
Robert Kelly
Give me a copy.
Big Jay Oakerson
This. Before you thought about hurting your friends for content. Yeah, way before. Yeah, I need some content. I'm gonna break my friend's heart. So no, he. I was like, hey, just don't send it yet. Just sit on that for a day or so. And he goes, I already emailed it. And I was like, oh, Christ.
Robert Kelly
You gave him the restraint of pen and tongue and then.
Big Jay Oakerson
Never. I never. We never discussed it again. It never came up again.
Robert Kelly
He said he wrote a poem to her and he sent it. And you never brought it up, but you never said, can I check it out?
Big Jay Oakerson
He wouldn't have showed it at the time. And I just forgot. It's just like it was. Time went by. It was so long ago. And then five years go by.
Robert Kelly
Five fucking years.
Big Jay Oakerson
Five years went by.
Lou
If he had given it, he probably didn't have his own copy of it even at that time.
Big Jay Oakerson
No, he just. He put it in an email. Body and email. He wouldn't even had it anymore.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, he typed it.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
Wow.
Big Jay Oakerson
So. So he bumped into her five years later and. And Beatrice is in the background of this clip. She's Petrus is pregnant with James Lewis's son, which is hilarious in the year. And. But Louis, somewhere in New York City, bumped into the girl he wrote the poem for and asked her. He goes, hey, do you by any chance. This is pretty cool of him. Any chance. Do you have that poem that I sent you when we split up? And she was like, oh, yeah. And she sent it back to him. And this is me reading it to Lewis and Dave. Lewis hasn't seen it since he wrote it five years ago. I'm not looking forward at all, really. I'm only allowed to look like two sentences at a time. I'm like scrolling up. I'm reading it in Lewis's voice with beautiful music. And Dave listening. Also listening in the background, Lewis's ex with child. Go ahead. You can give him a second of it. Now that I'm feeling cold and alone.
Robert Kelly
You doing Lewis voice.
Big Jay Oakerson
That's the first line. Now that I'm feeling cold and alone.
Robert Kelly
He's crying. Is he crying or laughing?
Big Jay Oakerson
No, we're laughing. I've never laughed this hard in my life.
Robert Kelly
Sounds like he's laugh crying because it Hurts still.
Big Jay Oakerson
I want to start it over.
Robert Kelly
Dude, we have five minutes of this music.
Big Jay Oakerson
The first line lived up to my expectations already. It's already everything I hoped for. Did I love the Trump denier? Dave Smith in the background? Stop reading down. Oh, my God. I'm not. I'm trying to see how I go down.
Robert Kelly
Zionist later.
Big Jay Oakerson
Scroll with your thumb. I got you. Okay. Anti interventionalist Dave Smith at least teaching.
Robert Kelly
You how to use an iPhone. Your thumb. Use your thumb.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah, it was all new.
Robert Kelly
Yeah. Jay. What?
Big Jay Oakerson
My sidekick wasn't doing that.
Robert Kelly
Sidekick.
Big Jay Oakerson
Beginning again. Take this from Jump. Now that I'm feeling cold and alone it dawned on me that I never wrote you a poem.
Robert Kelly
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. Oh, man. God damn it. God damn it.
Big Jay Oakerson
I give you a few more lines as a taste, then you gotta go watch the clip.
Robert Kelly
I got subscribe to Gas Digital, whatever. You making money?
Big Jay Oakerson
Technically it's supposed to be money for us too. This is a YouTube clip. It's called worst poem ever.
Robert Kelly
How do you think that money for coffee?
Big Jay Oakerson
I'd always say watch the YouTube clip because it's nine minutes long and it's just. It's so funny. Go give him a couple more lines. I mean, they don't get any better.
Lou
I love you. Said dawned on me. Because later. Didn't he say that nothing's ever dawned on him ever?
Big Jay Oakerson
That's a funny sentence actually. Nothing's ever dawned on me. I've never learned a lesson from something. It was. Oh, wait, that's part of the poem. Huh.
Robert Kelly
Is that dangerous?
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah. When you start it, you're not going to stick. You got it. You gotta read it, Jay. After two and a half years, there's so much to say, so much to cry for, to beg for and pray.
Robert Kelly
I'm going throw up. I'm going throw up. I can't this when Lewis prayed, I guess.
Big Jay Oakerson
Good. If you were the one that could make me feel more. I knew you were innocent. I knew you were young. I knew you were beautiful. I knew you were fun. Oh, it gets worse. Did you hear me laugh? I mean, you've never heard me laugh like that. Sweet, sweet job.
Robert Kelly
I remember this.
Big Jay Oakerson
Sweet job. Ryan Young with fun. Holy St. Louis's living room. Continue. Finish it. I'm starting that line over. I almost want you to bring it back to the beginning. Continue. Oh, my God, dude, I'm sorry. Just continue, please. For the love of God. You're killing me. I knew you were innocent. I knew you were young. I knew you were beautiful. I knew you were Fun. I'm crying. I'm literally crying. This line's the best. I think. I can't believe you're crushed. Oh, fuck. Okay, okay, okay. All right, ahead. That was a problem. You knew I had problems. You knew I was fat. But you took a chance, and I thank you for that. You gotta go listen to the rest yourself. That's the best one ever.
Lou
I remember listening. I was in the cringe.
Big Jay Oakerson
You knew I was. You knew I was fat, but you took a chance, and I thank you for that.
Robert Kelly
It's not a bad rhyme. It's not a bad rhyme.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, man, what a lyricist I have.
Robert Kelly
I wrote. It was. I think it was 17 or 18. My girl. My first real girlfriend. Kristen.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
Who I went to the prom with. And, I mean, I loved her. I found out she was cheating on me with a. She went to college and she joined a sorority, and then they used to go to the hockey games. And I. I found a dude's number in her purse. Steve. And I was like, who's Steve?
Big Jay Oakerson
Your belly's angry about that.
Robert Kelly
Sorry. Oh, Steve.
Big Jay Oakerson
I remember Steve.
Robert Kelly
I know. Who's Steve. She goes, it's my cousin. And I was like, you have this cousin named Steve? One of. She was a hockey player.
Big Jay Oakerson
Nice.
Robert Kelly
So the sorority would go to the games, and I was in art school or whatever. I was whatever, trying to be an artist. And she goes, can you. Yeah. She goes, can you make us all sweatshirts? Because I was airbrushing at the time, so I made.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, my God.
Robert Kelly
She goes, I made the sorority.
Big Jay Oakerson
Can you make one says long and thick? That's just this one guy's nickname.
Robert Kelly
I made all them. The sorority logo and the hockey. So I made all these sweatshirts for all these sorority girls that would. She would go to the hockey games, and she wanted to just fucking get plowed out by one of those hockey players. So she broke my heart. I mean, we used to go to karate together. We used to get tuna melts together.
Big Jay Oakerson
Jesus.
Robert Kelly
We got. We went from skinny, and we got fat together. In two years, we became fatties and.
Big Jay Oakerson
Started fucking Steve, the hockey player.
Robert Kelly
She started.
Big Jay Oakerson
He likes a fat, warm.
Robert Kelly
So this dude. And then I. I remember I. I went to the library in Malden on a rainy day, and I went. I wrote her a poem. I wrote this magnificent poem.
Big Jay Oakerson
Please tell me you have any copy of it anywhere.
Robert Kelly
My mother might have it in the attic. When I moved from Boston to New York, I gave her all my stuff. She. She might have the poem in a. In my art stuff because I have all my art stuff at her house in the attic.
Big Jay Oakerson
That would be pretty great. It's a. I definitely wrote a poem. I don't remember exactly to who, when. Yeah, I'm sure it was terrible. I couldn't know where it was. But every time, anytime I've ever written a poem, which saying, if it's one, maybe two times, I do know that when I've sat down to do it, I was sitting in front of pen and paper, like I would write it.
Robert Kelly
Oh, I wrote it.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
In the library. Rainy day in front of a. Just a rainy window in the library.
Big Jay Oakerson
And I put a lipstick kiss the bottom of it.
Robert Kelly
I think I. I think I drew clouds on the top of the page.
Big Jay Oakerson
By the way. I suffer from that too. Bobby. Over decorate for no reason. A page. It's like. Well, I mean, I did put a little sun there, so I might as well put some, like, ground. And the ground's gonna need to have a couple little sprouts of some kind of, like, foliage coming out of it.
Robert Kelly
You gotta put a tree for the owl.
Big Jay Oakerson
And then I can draw a rock on the ground. But then I have to draw three rocks. Cause I don't really have to do one rock perspective wise, but I can do three clustered together. And that looks cooler.
Robert Kelly
Yeah. If I find it, I'll bring it in. But it is.
Big Jay Oakerson
Well, you did with the shirts. I was doing never. Even for a girlfriend. I just used to draw. I drew once, like a. I think fenoia, because I drew one for fenoia to be funny. The brick wall busting with your name coming through it. And a bunch of, like, graffiti with the things. That same thing. You're like, you're being used, but in your mind, you're like, all these chicks want to hang with the cool artists. And you're like, hey, can you draw this thing for my binder? And beat it, you fat turd, buddy.
Robert Kelly
I wasn't even good.
Big Jay Oakerson
The names, too. I always went to. I was in West Philly, so I'm like, here. Damana, Dixon. Here, lashanta, Frederick.
Robert Kelly
I wasn't even good at airbrushing.
Big Jay Oakerson
I just, you know, me had it.
Robert Kelly
I was an airbrush where you put it all in a pressurized tank. Like, all the colors. So you could just switch, you know, airbrushing. You had to pour the ink in individually.
Big Jay Oakerson
Sure.
Robert Kelly
But you know me, I'm a gadget fucking weirdo. I bought the latest and greatest that you could put all the paint into this big pressurized thing and then switch it on the fly.
Big Jay Oakerson
Okay.
Robert Kelly
And I didn't even have to airbrush.
Big Jay Oakerson
So I just had the airbrushes.
Robert Kelly
I had the best airbrush system you could buy. I think my grandmother helped me buy it because I didn't have credit.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
And I just started airbrushing in my basement. And then she's like, hey, can you do. And I was like, yeah. But the shirts were so, like. Like the logo. Like, some of them had it small. Like, they were all uneven. It wasn't the same, like, logo. And I think I fucked up one of the names on it. And I just.
Big Jay Oakerson
I just fixed it.
Robert Kelly
No, I left it.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, yeah.
Robert Kelly
Dude, I was. I can't spell. I'm dyslexic. It was so terrible, man. I made. I think it was like a triangle. Some type of sorority. Suffolk University sorority. And I made. And I stayed up all night. I had to do, like, 15 sweatshirts.
Big Jay Oakerson
And it was for them to wear to the hockey game to get banged out. So some other guys.
Christine
It wasn't perfect. It worked.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
Oh, it worked. It helped. Yeah.
Big Jay Oakerson
All they needed, all those girls needed for was really wipe. Wipe up all those hockey players. Splats. He goes, hey, I don't care what you put on the front of the shirt. If you just make sure the inside's real terry cloth, because we have a lot of splat to fucking Zamboni off our bodies, if you know what I mean.
Christine
Tried your best, and it was enough.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, buddy, I get them laid.
Robert Kelly
I wrote the poem, and then she called me up two weeks later. I gave her the poem. Then she called me up. She wanted to get back together, but I was like, I've. I gave her something like, no, I'm. I'm good. I work through it. Like, that poem helped me. The poem, my own words helped me get through the. The Kristen breakup. I was living with the foster father, too.
Big Jay Oakerson
I got it out.
Robert Kelly
I was living with foster father, this guy Ken Laos, this Jewish dude. And this other dude, he had another foster son, Carmelo Sanchez.
Big Jay Oakerson
Okay. And not biological.
Robert Kelly
Not neither one of us. Yeah, we used to live with this dude. He was a real sweet guy.
Big Jay Oakerson
But to you. He raped the shit out of that Hispanic kid. He was very good to you because you were a Christian white. But that Mexican kid got fucking his ass whaled. Talk about a midnight operation. Midnight hammer.
Robert Kelly
I had to use Carmelo's dental insurance once because I had my tooth got up and I didn't have dental. So the guy was just. Use Carmelo's. Go in. I'll make an appointment for Carmelo. So I went in, and I don't know why I was thinking that I had to speak in his Spanish. I could have just went in.
Big Jay Oakerson
Hey, what a racist.
Robert Kelly
I'm coming. So I went and went, hello, I'm Camilo Sanchez.
Big Jay Oakerson
Hurts like a. I chipped the front tooth.
Robert Kelly
I gotta get it fixed. So I'm sitting there. I'm sitting there in the thing, in the dark. The dad is like, so where are you from? Like, originally from Lawrence, Massachusetts, but now I live with my foster father originally from Lawrence, Massachusetts. All of a sudden, the girl from my class comes in from high school who's a dental assistant or some. She's like, carmelo. And she saw me, and I was like. I was like, hello, how you doing? She knows I'm Bobby Kelly.
Big Jay Oakerson
I am undercover.
Robert Kelly
I was like, please don't say anything. I have no doubt that she's okay. I had to sit there.
Big Jay Oakerson
In fact, she's grabbing a kisser. Lady, come here. And then like, please, God, don't this up for. That's right.
Robert Kelly
Come here.
Big Jay Oakerson
You have just been seduced by Coro.
Robert Kelly
I'll make you a hoodie. I had airbrush.
Big Jay Oakerson
Now, Doc, extra Nova cane, please give me the laughing gasp. And he just laughed like normal. No, I do not giggle.
Robert Kelly
I do not giggle.
Big Jay Oakerson
I do not choose to giggle.
Robert Kelly
I don't know. My name is Camelo Sanchez. You killed my father. Prepare to die.
Big Jay Oakerson
By the way, I gotta say, I hope we're making. Maybe we should be making. I don't know if we should be making more or less money than Roxanne Shantae. She's a legend for sure, and God bless her, maybe the most entertaining show on Sirius XM at this point. Apologies, Howard Stern. Apologies, Bennington. Apologies, Sam Roberts. The show, it came on today. I mean, it's Must hear radio.
Robert Kelly
What is it?
Big Jay Oakerson
She starts off saying, it's hot out there, y' all. Like, in between casinos. Walking hot. Which is a good description. Then she goes, I want you all to remember, drink water. Drink water out there. Stay hydrated. But don't drink too much water. Yeah, a lot of people don't tell you that. Don't drink too much water. I mean, enough to stay hydrated, but too much water is bad.
Robert Kelly
That's good advice.
Big Jay Oakerson
And then she goes, it's bad. It makes you shit. And then.
Robert Kelly
I mean, it's. That's good. I didn't know that. Did you know that? I never knew that.
Big Jay Oakerson
And then the. By the way, her co host goes and pee. And she goes, sure, but it make you shit. And when you get older, the shits get loose and sour. They loose and they sour.
Robert Kelly
She drinking milk with the water.
Big Jay Oakerson
I don't know. She goes, that's what happened when you get. Oh, yo, you get loosey goosey. All right, this is empd, EPMD with crossover. And they just send it to a song.
Robert Kelly
But how much money did they get?
Big Jay Oakerson
I don't know, but she. You know, I was gonna say maybe she should. We should make more, but maybe she should make more because she's willing to go there. And she is a legend of hip hop, right? Roxanne Shantae. But I don't know. I couldn't guess what she makes over at LL Cool J Rock the Bells radio.
Robert Kelly
And when it gets hot, you're supposed to drink the water. But if you drink the water, don't drink too much because make you.
Big Jay Oakerson
Make you. And if you old, it makes sour. Yeah, you make loose, sour shits that be smelling sour.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, that is true.
Big Jay Oakerson
It'd be Lucy Goose.
Robert Kelly
That is true. I had a sour yesterday. There's nothing worse than a sour, hot, hot day.
Big Jay Oakerson
I like when an Iranian lunatic bombs Times Square. That's what's going to be talked about in one of the rooms of this building while that happens. She goes, and you know what? I'mma shitt it on myself. You guys hear that? You guys hear that? Hold on. So anyway, I was like, my was loose and it was smelling, and I know somebody saw my feet and my shoes is dope. So I know they saw my shoes and they gonna associate that. Hang on. What's that saying? Oh, y' all hear that, guys? Y' all hear. Battles don't happen outside.
Robert Kelly
You know, speaking of all that, it's.
Big Jay Oakerson
Nice to be right in Times Square when. Right when we've provoked. Isn't like the terrorism place, like, terrorism hq.
Robert Kelly
Taking the subway now is fucking. I'm. I'm getting paranoid.
Big Jay Oakerson
I know you must be getting paranoid, especially because despite all this, you back every one of Trump's moves, and I think before the show said something about like, good night, towel heads. Can you even say that anymore?
Robert Kelly
I didn't say that.
Big Jay Oakerson
You didn't?
Robert Kelly
No, I did not say that.
Big Jay Oakerson
You said some of it, though.
Robert Kelly
No, I didn't say.
Big Jay Oakerson
Did I make up all that?
Robert Kelly
I just. You made it all up.
Big Jay Oakerson
Wow.
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Big Jay Oakerson
Okay. All right.
Robert Kelly
I'm very. I'm actually very sad.
Big Jay Oakerson
Pro towel heads?
Robert Kelly
No.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, no. All right.
Robert Kelly
Not any. Did you not say something about what?
Big Jay Oakerson
The word towel heads?
Robert Kelly
I've only used A towel on my. I don't have hair. I don't even use it on my head. I don't even say towel head.
Big Jay Oakerson
Okay, you know what this might be. Listen, years ago, we remember, I accused Christopher Cross of being a pedophile. And there's no such allegations ever on his name. So sometimes I fuck up. Maybe. You never said towel heads today. Three or four times.
Robert Kelly
I never said it at all. Not three or four times. I would never.
Big Jay Oakerson
Well, no, that's what I'm saying now that I'm thinking back on it. I don't think you said it three or four times at all. Maybe not even at all.
Robert Kelly
I don't. I don't even want to get into the pol. Let's leave this for Dave Smith. But I went to Iraq with Quinn and we were, you know, in Baghdad and we were doing these shows. This is just funny. I don't know if it's funny to you, but they would. They have Iraqis work in the bases, you know, they would have Iraqi people from the city. No, they got paid. But they would work in the basement.
Big Jay Oakerson
Like, not fair rage.
Robert Kelly
But it was. It was raining out and a fucking dude came in and he had a towel wrapped around his head. And he walked in and I just looked at him and I just. I went. I just smiled and he went. And he just unwrapped it. He goes, man, whatever.
Big Jay Oakerson
Really.
Robert Kelly
He knew. I just looked at him and he looked at me and he was like, nah, you son of a. I'll take the towel off my head.
Big Jay Oakerson
Maybe that's the towel head you said.
Robert Kelly
I would never say cow head. I feel bad that I. I'm very bummed out that.
Big Jay Oakerson
Well, you can't sand in word on the.
Robert Kelly
I would never say that either. If I was going to do it, I would never say that. I wouldn't call them sandies. I wouldn't do anything.
Big Jay Oakerson
Is that a thing?
Robert Kelly
That's a thing, I guess. Yeah.
Big Jay Oakerson
Is that bad?
Robert Kelly
That's bad Sandy's. That's what history, Hines.
Big Jay Oakerson
You're not allowed. You can't. You're not allowed to take bullshit words and say you're not allowed to say them anymore. It got through the. Listen, it got through S and P. It made a slip through. If you decide at some point to start saying spoon instead of. You start saying. You can't say. Well, you can't say spoon sucker now.
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Big Jay Oakerson
You know what I'm saying? Yeah. You found the loophole.
Robert Kelly
Dude, they call. I was talking to Yanis about this on the high Knees. They have names for everybody. It's pretty funny. They call black dudes Namins.
Big Jay Oakerson
Okay.
Robert Kelly
Which I didn't know. I was like, why not mean. I was like, that makes sense. Not to me.
Big Jay Oakerson
They figured out. They figured out Canadians. So.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, I didn't say anything. But I really. That did freak me out this weekend because I had like. I'm like, okay, we bombed Iraq. What if they start bombing Iran? I ran Iran. Sorry, Iran. They bombed Iran. And then if. What if we. They start bombing Manhattan? Don was back.
Big Jay Oakerson
Well, I'll tell you what's gonna happen. You're gonna be running here screaming, iraqs come to attack us.
Robert Kelly
Me and Max were up in New Hampshire.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, fucking ground zero.
Robert Kelly
And they were. She was down here like, do I come back and get dawn? Or do I just say, hey, make your way up if you can.
Big Jay Oakerson
Radiation is not getting up there to that fucking Ryan Reynolds mountain where you live on. Yeah, the Blake Lively mountain.
Robert Kelly
It would.
Big Jay Oakerson
The radiation. No way, dude.
Robert Kelly
It was.
Big Jay Oakerson
My ears weren't even open up there.
Robert Kelly
I think it's 40. 40 mile radius. I believe if it's a nuke, one of the nukes we have 40 miles out.
Big Jay Oakerson
It's not one of the nukes. We have one of the nukes. They have.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, but they have. I don't think they have any more.
Big Jay Oakerson
But you don't think.
Robert Kelly
No, I think, but I think there's one more hidden.
Big Jay Oakerson
I think they had one special one in somewhere else.
Robert Kelly
If you were to entertain my little fantasy for a second.
Big Jay Oakerson
Sure.
Robert Kelly
If I was up in New Hampshire with Maxipoo and shit happened here. I just let dawn go, Right?
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah, for sure. Say goodbye and, you know, remember.
Robert Kelly
I should probably tell her to go to you.
Big Jay Oakerson
You get Avenger in some way.
Robert Kelly
Avenger for who?
Big Jay Oakerson
I don't know, but I just remember what it was you said. You and Max spent this week up weekend up in New Hampshire training to kill tow heads.
Robert Kelly
No, that's not true. We never. That is 100% not true, Bobby.
Big Jay Oakerson
Did you not say any of this to me?
Robert Kelly
I didn't know. I never said any of that to you. We were up.
Big Jay Oakerson
What the fuck am I hearing?
Robert Kelly
You're making stuff up.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, I'm making stuff up?
Robert Kelly
We were in the. We had towels. We went to the beach.
Big Jay Oakerson
You had towels. And you shot guns.
Robert Kelly
We shot guns.
Big Jay Oakerson
We didn't say the towels.
Robert Kelly
No, we didn't practice. No. We didn't wrap towels around targets.
Big Jay Oakerson
I didn't say anything about targets.
Robert Kelly
You know, you actually can't even at the gun. Range use targets with people in them.
Big Jay Oakerson
No, that can't be true.
Robert Kelly
Mine. Yeah, they don't. They don't want you to use.
Big Jay Oakerson
I think it might be certain ones that can't be true across board. That's gotta be the most fun.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, I would imagine so. But yeah, our thing, they're like you.
Big Jay Oakerson
My first target is gonna be an outline of Christine at her happiest. I don't know what that is. Just like, just in all of her.
Robert Kelly
Glory in the pool while Dawkins is in her pool.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah, yeah. I'm gonna put one in each eye.
Robert Kelly
This one when you're getting in a car to go to the airport, is that when she's at her happiest pro?
Big Jay Oakerson
That's when she's at her sleeping. Yeah, she knows she could. Yeah, for sure. Probably the door closes and she's like, just goes to a full. A full house. Sonos horrible music party.
Robert Kelly
The name is hate your house when you're not around.
Big Jay Oakerson
Maybe. Oh, man. We had a neighbor yesterday. It stopped pretty quick, but I mean cranked music in the backyard real loud, but for like 10 minutes and then it stopped.
Robert Kelly
What type of music?
Big Jay Oakerson
It wasn't good. Maybe electronic, dancey type stuff. Like a little EDM ish sounding.
Robert Kelly
So is there what is. Because I'm afraid to play music in the backyard. Still. Yeah, just the neighbors. I don't know how loud. Like the old house, I knew how loud I could play it.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
Because the neighbor to the left was cool as shit and the neighbor to the right were these hippies and they were fine with shit they didn't buy. But the new neighbors, I don't know how loud I can play it like. You know what I mean? Like, I haven't had a party yet to see the temperament of the neighborhood and the people to the left of me go to bed at like, I think 7:30. Like I've literally like, their lights are out at like 7:30, 8:00 clock, all the lights in the house are out.
Big Jay Oakerson
Do you have to wake up stupid early?
Robert Kelly
No, I think they're retired.
Big Jay Oakerson
Get down the mountain.
Robert Kelly
No, there's nothing.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, it's an older retired couple.
Robert Kelly
I'm not. No, he's not that old.
Big Jay Oakerson
You live on top of a mountain.
Robert Kelly
I do not live on a mountain.
Big Jay Oakerson
You do.
Robert Kelly
I do not. Yeah, it's not a matter.
Big Jay Oakerson
You want to go to the highest peak where the tail heads can't get you.
Robert Kelly
I never said.
Big Jay Oakerson
I swear to God. You said this outside.
Robert Kelly
First of all, towel heads are India. Oh, that's not Iran.
Big Jay Oakerson
So you were. It didn't even make sense, what you were saying.
Robert Kelly
No, what you're saying.
Big Jay Oakerson
What I'm saying.
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Big Jay Oakerson
What I'm making up towel heads is our Indians. That is right.
Robert Kelly
Towel heads. It's not. They're not Indians, but it's a certain. It's a certain religion.
Big Jay Oakerson
You call them Indians.
Robert Kelly
I don't call them engines. No, those are American Indians.
Big Jay Oakerson
No, you call them engines.
Robert Kelly
Those are American Native. How many words do you have to say now? American, Native Indian. What is it?
Big Jay Oakerson
Indigenous.
Robert Kelly
Indigenous.
Big Jay Oakerson
Native.
Robert Kelly
Native American. Eskimo Indians.
Big Jay Oakerson
Eskimo Indians.
Robert Kelly
Indian, American. Those. Those are not towel heads. Oh, regular Indians. It's Sikhs, I believe, have the towels. I mean, the heads. The wraps. Not. They have wraps on their heads that look like towels. It's not a towel head.
Big Jay Oakerson
Thus. No slur. Tow heads.
Robert Kelly
Don't throw thus in there, you theater girl. Thus.
Big Jay Oakerson
Alas.
Robert Kelly
Alas.
Big Jay Oakerson
And alas, Muslims are troubled by the towel head title. Okay. All right, Bobby.
Robert Kelly
Yep.
Big Jay Oakerson
You may have to slow down on that word.
Robert Kelly
I don't use the word. I've never used it in front of you. You've made it up. I've never called anybody a towel head.
Big Jay Oakerson
Now, is this crazy? Is this possible? Making every bit of this up completely doesn't seem right.
Robert Kelly
It doesn't seem right.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, God, I'm going into a shell. So cold. People of Arab origin is commonly used against those of Arab descent, particularly those who wear a keffiyeh.
Robert Kelly
Yep, that's correct.
Big Jay Oakerson
Or a similar head covering.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, it's not a. It's not a towel head. That's Indian. I think it's Sikh. Am I right? I mean, is it Sikh?
Lou
It's. I mean, what is. What they used to say was towel head or dot head? They're both s. Slurs.
Robert Kelly
No, but there's actually a seek. Yeah, that's sick. Yeah, Seek. Wrap it around. And they have beautiful long hair under there. Yeah, that's what. And their beards connect to their hair, buddy.
Big Jay Oakerson
When I lost Shick Razor Beard of the game, it was to a Sikh guy.
Robert Kelly
Was it?
Big Jay Oakerson
Remember, Christine, when you.
Lou
What?
Big Jay Oakerson
You don't even remember when I almost won Razor Beard of the game at the Sixers game? The guy that did win was a guy. A Sikh guy.
Lou
Oh, yeah.
Big Jay Oakerson
With all the crazy.
Robert Kelly
And it's called the turbo. Not a towel.
Big Jay Oakerson
I don't throw around crazy stuff like that. That's your Boston upbringing.
Robert Kelly
I haven't. No. First of all, I. I understand.
Big Jay Oakerson
I made it up a year ago. Says it I don't look sure. Did I make it up? Fine. Yes. But you do say it all the time.
Robert Kelly
Probably. I've never. Probably. Why do you keep you can't say I say it all the time and then slip in whisper probably at the end.
Big Jay Oakerson
No, you probably do say it a lot.
Robert Kelly
I don't say it.
Big Jay Oakerson
And you and Max's weekend kept saying it before you fired your guns into tree stumps that you put we didn't find which is ridiculous cuz that means you were shooting at seek targets. Not even Iranian people.
Robert Kelly
I was not shooting at any.
Big Jay Oakerson
You were shooting at Iraqis. You were in the wrong country. I did everybody. Have you noticed that everywhere you go it seems like prices are going up? They keep saying it.

Big Jay Oakerson
You're right. He can't let everybody who asks.
Robert Kelly
It's over. So you're a veteran, dude. I'm actually I got the compound bow out this weekend. I started shooting at some targets.
Big Jay Oakerson
I'll tell you, the target should be shooting at somebody else in the Rogan sphere You take them out?
Robert Kelly
No.
Big Jay Oakerson
Now, some guy Torelli picks made a beautiful welcome poster for me and Lewis into the Sphere. Awesome. With all the characters on it.
Robert Kelly
Should be. I wanted to be a magnet.
Big Jay Oakerson
And we're on the. Yeah, it's really cool this.
Robert Kelly
What sad I was though. I looked and I was like, am I. No.
Big Jay Oakerson
Metzger's in there.

Metzger's in there. Where is. Let me see who else is in there?
Big Jay Oakerson
Alfredy Newman from Mad magazine. Also.
Christine
Is there Kurtz in the Rogan sphere?
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah, apparently. Well, listen to me. He lives there now.
Robert Kelly
Lives there.
Big Jay Oakerson
And he doesn't go on the show a ton, but he goes on.
Robert Kelly
But he likes him and Ro.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
Is him in the sphere?
Big Jay Oakerson
Tim Dylan, Brian Simpson. Dave Shane.
Robert Kelly
Joey Diaz.
Big Jay Oakerson
Joey. Coco Diaz. Theo Vaughn, Alfre Newman, Ari. Tony Inchcliffe, Tom Segura, Kurt Metzger, Burke Kreischer, and now the two of us. But I'll tell you what, Bobby.
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Big Jay Oakerson
If there's one part you could either. You could wait for Kurt to vibrate so fast that he just disappears one day.
Robert Kelly
Oh, the jewel lasers might take him out.
Big Jay Oakerson
Take him out. Absolutely.
Robert Kelly
Who's the. Who's the guy on the left? Down the bottom left? The black dude?
Lou
Brian Simpson.
Big Jay Oakerson
Brian Simpson.
Robert Kelly
Brian Simpson. There's only one black dude in the sphere.
Big Jay Oakerson
That's it.
Robert Kelly
That's so wild.
Big Jay Oakerson
There's plenty. Everyone's represented.
Robert Kelly
It's the same face. It's literally the same face seven times. Everybody in the sphere is basically the same dude.
Big Jay Oakerson
Lewis is only the third sort of ethnic.
Robert Kelly
There we go. Coco Diaz is Cuban.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
You got Puerto Rican.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, Tom's half something.
Robert Kelly
Tom's half span Mexican.
Big Jay Oakerson
Mexican.
Robert Kelly
He's Mexican. Yeah, I believe it's Mexican. His mom's Mexican.
Big Jay Oakerson
No, his mom's something.
Robert Kelly
His mom is Mexican.
Big Jay Oakerson
Why are you committing to that?
Robert Kelly
I don't know. I just wanted to. I just wanted to be confident with it and it worked.
Big Jay Oakerson
Is she like. Is she like Latvian or something?
Robert Kelly
No, she's Mexican.
Big Jay Oakerson
Stop.
Robert Kelly
What?
Big Jay Oakerson
She's not, buddy.
Robert Kelly
Look at me. She's Mexican.
Big Jay Oakerson
The video of Tom Segura's mom's farting is my favorite video of all time on the Internet.
Robert Kelly
One of the greatest things I've ever watched.
Big Jay Oakerson
It's just. Put it on again right now, Christine. It'll never not be funny.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, put it on. It's in Spanish. In Mexican.
Big Jay Oakerson
Put it on nine foots.
Robert Kelly
See, I love that you lost weight to get into the sphere too.
Big Jay Oakerson
Because if it's not going to be lifted up on shoulders, you can be.
Robert Kelly
On the shoulders because that wasn't. The guy would have had to, like, made Joe's knees wobbling.
Big Jay Oakerson
Absolutely.
Robert Kelly
You know, I mean, put knee braces on him. But now you look fantastic.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah. There is a weight limit at the Sphere, as Christine will tell you about a lot of, like, those Hollywood type parties.
Robert Kelly
Look at. Look how fat Cigar used to be.
Big Jay Oakerson
There's a weight limit here. This is Thompson.
Lou
There's a weight limit at this party.
Big Jay Oakerson
I know, I know. Rogan's fear.
Robert Kelly
And just that shows you that God is real.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
Look at God.
Big Jay Oakerson
God is good all the time.
Robert Kelly
This is a magical moment. Let's do a volume up. I love. And let's. Let's. Let's watch. I can't believe I'm finally. And his mom doesn't know that he's filming. So she turns right at the end, she has a little smirk, like, yeah, baby.
Big Jay Oakerson
You ever tell you the things he had to do? Did you ever hear the things he had to do to, like, get her to let him put this up?
Robert Kelly
What?
Big Jay Oakerson
He, like, sent him to the casino with, like, some weird amount of money and spending money in cash and, like.
Robert Kelly
Is Tom Segura's mom Mexican?
Lou
Peruvian.
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Lou
See, I'm trying to find what his father is.
Big Jay Oakerson
You said Mexican.
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Big Jay Oakerson
And you committed hard to it, dude. So you're saying Peruvians. Mexicans are just the same. Just like towel heads and Iranians.
Robert Kelly
Peru was part of Mexico until it broke off in the 1368 War of Peru. Where the Algonquin Mexicans.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah. If you could. If you would have kept talking, if you would have stopped.
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Big Jay Oakerson
After the first sentence, I would have just moved on subjects because I don't know if for sure if that was true. But then you started showing your own ass. You kept going.
Robert Kelly
The gun quit.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah, but the first thing when you said Peru broke off in Mexico before I went to wherever I was gonna.
Robert Kelly
Be, like, 1368 war.
Big Jay Oakerson
I don't know. But that may have happened. I go, I have no idea where Peru is.
Robert Kelly
It's so funny, too, to have all this happen this weekend and in the news and then just to see Dave Smith as a professional person on all the news outlets. And I'm like, I know that guy. I did a podcast with him where we said some really awful weird and we did some crazy. And he's on the news just laying it out to these guys and holding his own, talking about. And I'm just like. I don't know what the he's saying, but it sounds Fantastic dick.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah, I said, I told him. I said Dave. Though he does Legion of Skank still solely so he still is able to talk to anyone who doesn't have a stupid Lord of the Rings accent. Everyone he debates is always. He always has the guy like shim, Shadow, Bim, Dave and you, Dave and then you don't know because you've never been a bit. And he's a big. Nigel, Nigel, can I answer the question? Well, Nigel, if you let me finish.
Robert Kelly
Nigel.
Big Jay Oakerson
Nigel, if I could just. Dave. But Dave Smith, you. He has to come to Legion of Skank just to hear some guys say dude. Also on piers. I listen to Dave on piers more. He's always great. I listened to one Piers Morgan this weekend, Dave Smith and he. The first time I caught him like doing like he was having a debate with like a. Some like dignified whatever guy and he said dude, yeah, I caught a dude for the first time, Dave. He's like blah, blah. Dude, what are you even talking about? You're like, oh that's, that's out. That's out of the range of what this is.
Robert Kelly
We got to get Dave in ears in your head because he has. He's the only one on the TV with headphones on.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh yeah, we got to get him.
Robert Kelly
In ears because he's got to look, look, he's rocking it but he's got headphones on and he looks like a radio dj. We got to get him in ears so he looks professional. Put the in ears in his little logo on it.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah, I need him with a TV next to him so he can show me the day's goings on something.
Robert Kelly
Right? It's pretty wild man, that that dude is in the midst of these goings on politics like talking about Iran and America and Trump and they're going to Dave Smith to. For his opinion. That's a wild life to live. To be able to hang out with you and fucking Louis. To be able to go to Skank fest and do all this crazy shit and then go on the news and.
Big Jay Oakerson
He'S like, hang on, Fox. Knightley needs me.
Robert Kelly
It's such a crazy life.
Big Jay Oakerson
Hey guys, I gotta hit the McLaughlin group so catch you queefs later. Yeah, he's very comfortable on those shows. He doesn't feel like, you know, I mean he doesn't go out.
Robert Kelly
Has he always been like, has he always been in the background? Like have you known him to know about this stuff and be into all this stuff?
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Robert Kelly
Really?
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah. Well, he just is doing the same thing. He was Doing then in the sense like he's just saying it into a microphone now. But as far as like he's just being like a. He's just like a commentator. But when did he like running for anything or anything?
Robert Kelly
I remember him from like being in the MMA Hammer fisting him and Lewis and I remember but I never, I never knew when he transitioned to politics. Like, was he always into politics back then?
Big Jay Oakerson
No, he just tried years ago on gas station when everybody tried to do like their own thing too. He thought he'd do a thing. He started up with this kid Travis Pinon that went haywire and then he tried like another guest like or a co host or two and they started just doing it by himself. With Robbie the Fire.
Lou
Yeah, they started like a Facebook series Dave Smith on. He was doing that for a while, but he was always into it. But it was, I mean, maybe what, like eight, nine years ago where it started like meshing more and he started doing more stuff publicly like as it.
Robert Kelly
Because most people stick to what. What brought them, you know what I mean? They dance with a. Brought him like, you know, he's hanging out with you guys, he's in the skank world, blah, blah. It's so successful. It's a very successful world you guys live in.
Big Jay Oakerson
Well, it's been a good place for him to also pull people because there's fans of ours who do give a. About political stuff. We don't get me and Lewis don't give a. But like, you know, I mean, so Dave was able to like, there's people who are like long term Legion of Skanks fans that are like also now into whatever Dave's goofy politics are.
Robert Kelly
Right.
Big Jay Oakerson
I'm sure it's great. I just can't build my own roads. Sure, whatever he wants us to do is fantastic, but I can't build my own road. It'll never happen. I'll procrastinate forever. Never, ever happen.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, it's. It's funny because you, if you, if you talk to Voss, I'll call him and he'll talk about politics. God bless Voss. I love him. I know, I know his heart's in the right place. But he just goes on and on about politics.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh yeah.
Robert Kelly
And you're like, you gotta settle down a little bit. You sound ridiculous. A little bit. I understand. I get it. But then you listen to Dave. He's well read. He's. He like the amount of work he has to do to deal with these people, he can't around because these people have highly Intelligent people that he's talking to. Sure, but I'm talking, I'm talking. Well read. You know what I mean?
Big Jay Oakerson
It's also a world where you can like, you could say like. Oh, yeah, no, I guess that's true. I mean, he's like. Change his opinion on stuff.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, I mean, yeah, I, I used.
Big Jay Oakerson
To be pro choice.
Robert Kelly
I don't. Is he. For Christ's sake. And he's not anymore?
Big Jay Oakerson
I don't think so.
Robert Kelly
Wow. Yeah.
Big Jay Oakerson
Just now.
Robert Kelly
It's pretty wild.
Big Jay Oakerson
Nerd.
Robert Kelly
You'll get religious someday.
Big Jay Oakerson
Why?
Robert Kelly
You will. No, you'll find. For that you'll find God.
Big Jay Oakerson
Where?
Robert Kelly
He's with you right now, dude.
Big Jay Oakerson
Everywhere?
Robert Kelly
Yeah, he's everywhere. Your God. Your God is with you right now.
Big Jay Oakerson
Really?
Robert Kelly
Yeah. You can't have my God though. You can't handle my God.
Big Jay Oakerson
Who's your God now?
Robert Kelly
Did I. Quinn, I can't talk. No, he used to be my God, but not anymore because he, He. He got married. Ever since he got married, I couldn't be my God.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, yeah, that's whack.
Robert Kelly
Yeah. Steve Byrne was my God for a minute, but you know Steve Byrne? Yeah.
Big Jay Oakerson
I didn't see that coming at all.
Robert Kelly
The whole Buddha thing, you know what I mean?
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, yeah, but he's too skinny for Buddha stuff.
Robert Kelly
Well, I, Yeah, I became the Buddha.
Big Jay Oakerson
Steve's religious at all?
Robert Kelly
No, no, he is. I think he is.
Big Jay Oakerson
I mean, his, like, his calm down and his personality since having kids and stuff is pretty crazy. Yeah, it is funny that we've done this long enough to see people go from like pretty wild late night every night, guys to like, my back hurts. I have to mow the lawn tomorrow anyway, so I'm getting out of here.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, we talked about that last week when it was. It's like when you have a kid, all of a sudden you get some type of empathy for the world or people and your kid and things matter differently. And it. It. Before a kid, I really didn't give a. About anything. Yeah, it's like everybody. What? I don't care if I live. I've lived in a hole and I was fine. I live with Billy Byrne, an African dude. And it was awesome. I never even thought it sucked. I was like, this is great. I got blow jobs in the hallway if Billy was home. And I, you know, I smoked cigarettes and got a cup of coffee and I did comedy. It was awesome. But then when you have a kid, you have to provide and you get nervous about all kinds of other shit, but you also start to open up, like, things. Your heart opens up a little bit.
Big Jay Oakerson
I don't know. I have to tell you, with me, I know that because I had a kid young, though, and all my friends didn't. Is that now I'm like, hey, you guys want to just do something recklessly and smoke pot and go to a concert and get fucked up on a Tuesday and like, buddy, I got the kid. And you're like, oh, you're supposed to have done that already. All right, fine. I guess I'll do that. That with my kid instead of you, then.
Robert Kelly
Yeah, your kid? Josh.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah. I'm gonna bring my boy Josh.
Robert Kelly
I'll go with you, man. I'm here. I'm never having a kid, Daddy. My jizz don't work. I do so much stuff. Inject it right into my.
Big Jay Oakerson
Daddy. Daddy. Yeah. Oh, you're home, Daddy.
Robert Kelly
I'd rather get a pair of Travis Scotts than have a baby. Come on, Daddy.
Big Jay Oakerson
Come on, Daddy. I hope Josh was calling me Daddy. Daddy, Daddy's home, Daddy.
Robert Kelly
You're gonna get me. You're gonna eat the rest of that hamburger, Daddy. Cause I will.
Big Jay Oakerson
Daddy, can we do McDonald's? I was good. I was so good.
Robert Kelly
Daddy, can I get my phone back from the last time I made you mad?
Big Jay Oakerson
Daddy? Daddy, can I please drive the car this weekend? Susie wants to go to a movie, Daddy.
Robert Kelly
Susie. He'll wind up with a Susie.
Big Jay Oakerson
That was always. Was that a good go to for Bruce Springsteen? It was like, Susie and me, we're doing something at a lake in a up car, and we were out later than we shooted. And the local sheriff that she had to go home and whatever.
Robert Kelly
Are we supposed to like him? I've never liked Bruce.
Big Jay Oakerson
They rearranged the lobby.
Robert Kelly
I know. I walked in, I thought we were definitely getting fired today.
Big Jay Oakerson
No couches on commercial break. I'm gonna go suck him in the face out there. Is he out there? Let me know if he's there. Black. Well, I'm gonna sock him in the face. Huh?
Christine
That's who's coming in.
Robert Kelly
Yeah.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah. That's why they rearranged the thing, because he doesn't. He didn't like the feng shui. The police. I don't know, guys. I feel like the couch is really uninvited.
Robert Kelly
America's in trouble. We got to get rid of these couches given to some Mexicans. I'll come in if you give those chairs to some people that need them.
Big Jay Oakerson
All right. I do a couple radio interviews, and I go to split some wood.
Robert Kelly
It's so funny to me that these guys act like they're so down to earth. He hasn't been down to Earth in 40 years.

No.
Christine

Big Jay Oakerson
Time to go feed. It's time to go to the stable and bail some hay in my Ferragamo cowboy boots. I don't want to get dirt on them.
Robert Kelly
Hey, do me a favor. Hold this Rolex while I pat this horse.

Big Jay Oakerson

Robert Kelly
No, no.

Big Jay Oakerson
Get him in here, Bruce.
Robert Kelly
I'll tell him he stinks to his face. Get him in whiskey. I'd be like, I'll never. I never got you. You rambling. You haven't affected me once.

Christine
Something new.
Robert Kelly
Ah, she's out of her mind.
Big Jay Oakerson
The ugly ginger girl.
Robert Kelly
And they got rid of the hot one, the slutty one, because she was too slutty.
Big Jay Oakerson
She hasn't been hot since 86.
Robert Kelly
What happened? What were they fighting about? Really? Kim Cattrall wasn't taught the girls are not as hot as when she was in Mannequin. But she's hot. Remember Mannequin? Kim Cattrall with me, Shakti Taylor. Who's the short haired dude?
