Yeah, he's kind of like, there's all the Jewish shows in Florida and stuff. Yeah, you remember just Sarge. His name's Sarge. He used to work Boston Comedy Club a lot. He was kind of.
Danny
May have been before my time.
Big Jay Oakerson
He was around when you were there, remember? Maybe you look at his face. Remember him?
Danny
Nope.
Big Jay Oakerson
He used to work at the Boston Comedy Club a lot.
Danny
Nope.
Big Jay Oakerson
Moved down to Florida.
Danny
I mean, this guy never crossed paths one time for one second.
Big Jay Oakerson
Really? Yeah, he used to be hanging out a lot and then he moved down to Florida and was making, I mean, a lot of money. Huge Florida comics.
Danny
Really?
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah, he would just do the sells out.
Danny
Old Jews.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah, no, he passed away.
Danny
I was gonna say it's not the dream to be that old in comedy and still be on flyers.
Big Jay Oakerson
I mean. Yeah, I think Jerry Rocha though, is still kicking around. Should I text him?
Danny
Huh?
Big Jay Oakerson
Should I text him?
Danny
No. Yes.
I'm saying just like casual. Any other day, just be like, hey, dude, do you have like 10,000 bucks I could borrow? No, seriously, I'll give it back to you. Hey, bro, I'll give it back to you. And I'm gonna write, how much longer do you have?
Big Jay Oakerson
Hey, bro, are you still there?
Danny
Hey, can I borrow some money? Because, I mean, it seems like you're not going anywhere.
Big Jay Oakerson
Hey, do you have any valuable figurines?
Danny
Be like, oh, dude, I thought you died. I fucked your wife. Someone just told me the other day you're still alive. My bad.
Big Jay Oakerson
I just texted him.
Danny
Did you?
Big Jay Oakerson
I wrote, hey, bro.
Danny
Wow. Hey, bro. Heard your cheating death.
Big Jay Oakerson
No.
Danny
Hopefully the final destination. Who is this?
Big Jay Oakerson
I hope he's still around.
Oh my God, you have such a beautiful.
Danny
Bobby, please, a moment for Sarge.
Big Jay Oakerson
I'm sorry, buddy. How.
Sweet.
Christine
Is this him?
Danny
Yes, It's Paul Joe DeRozo.
Rest in peace, Sergeant. Eventually.
Big Jay Oakerson
Jesus Christ.
DJ Lou
What?
Big Jay Oakerson
We don't know that.
Danny
Oh, yes we do. Everyone's going down at some point.
Big Jay Oakerson
God, he's got a beautiful voice. I didn't know there was anything.
Danny
I love that. Screaming eagle was fly.
Is that his wife?
Big Jay Oakerson
Was.
Danny
So she's gonna need a little cheering up. Jacob.
DJ Lou
Not bad.
Danny
Oh, Jerry.
Big Jay Oakerson
Jerry is Jerry. Great guy.
Danny
Very great guy. Beautiful.
We didn't know each other for long, but when he lived in New York briefly, I'd see him a lot. Did a lot of shows together.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah, sweet. One of the good ones. One of the good ones.
Danny
Very funny. Nice guy.
Big Jay Oakerson
I wrote, hey, bro. We'll see what happens. It was delivered. That means his phone is still on.
Danny
Might have brought him back to life when you said that.
Big Jay Oakerson
What if that happened? What if that thing just gave him the hope he needed?
Danny
I don't know that it won't.
Big Jay Oakerson
Jacob, you have such a beautiful voice from such a small man.
Danny
That's why, God damn. He gets to sing from his feet. A lot of us can't do that.
A lot of us can't send the vibration from our tootsies up to our chops.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yes, sir.
Danny
Welcome back to the bonfire. I was in Philly this weekend, everybody. I don't know why. We went to Nick's Famous Roast Beef and had delicious roast beef sandwich. I shouted them all out. One day. They're gonna know who I am and.
Big Jay Oakerson
Give a. I went to a place in New Hampshire called Nick's Roast Beef. Really not that good.
Danny
Really?
Big Jay Oakerson
No. It was like Arby's roast beef. It was like that.
Danny
Does everybody take shots at Arby's roast beef? Because it's not good. There's nothing wrong with Arby's roast beef.
Big Jay Oakerson
It's. It's hydrated meat.
Danny
Decent roast.
Big Jay Oakerson
Hydrated meat.
Danny
It's decent roast beef.
Big Jay Oakerson
I don't. With decent roast beef. I'm from Boston, okay? I. With real roast beef.
Danny
That's fair. Listen, I can't argue that with a shitty cheese stick.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah, you don't mess with a decent cheesesteak.
Danny
No. At all.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah. And I. And I. And I. It was okay. It was all right. That looks good.
Danny
That's a nick.
Big Jay Oakerson
That looks good.
Danny
Very good.
Big Jay Oakerson
God, that looks good. How was everybody else's Thanksgiving, Jacob?
DJ Lou
Mine was dreadful.
Big Jay Oakerson
Great. Anyways, moving on.
DJ Lou
Skip mine, Lou.
Big Jay Oakerson
DJ Lou. Mine was good. I spent it with my brother and my sister and my little nephew. Oh, that sounds fun.
Danny
Wait. You bold passed. I was going to tell you what everyone was saying I should be doing.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, yeah?
Danny
Were you doing it on purpose?
Big Jay Oakerson
No, I just felt bad that we just went into ours and people didn't tell us about theirs, that's all.
Danny
Luz was quiet. You want to go back, we'll go back.
Big Jay Oakerson
I just figured we'd touch base with the crew. I knew Jacob was gonna be quick.
Danny
Why are you. Jacob had a miserable Thanksgiving.
Big Jay Oakerson
Well, because it's Jacob.
DJ Lou
This one was out of my hands.
Danny
Yeah.
DJ Lou
You gotta give me a break on this.
Big Jay Oakerson
I gotta. Give me a little slack.
Danny
I'm sorry. DJ Lou's black girlfriend Won't let him come to the house. Won't let him come to his family's house. So they had to do quiet little thing, right?
Big Jay Oakerson
I didn't say that. You couldn't go to the house.
DJ Lou
What house?
Big Jay Oakerson
There's no house.
Danny
Her family's house.
Big Jay Oakerson
They didn't allow you in? They're from California and they're homeless. No, they're from South Central.
DJ Lou
Noise.
Big Jay Oakerson
Really?
Danny
Yeah. Terrifying homes. I bet.
Big Jay Oakerson
This is father, an electrician.
Danny
Father Wesley Snipes from White Men can't joke.
Big Jay Oakerson
She doesn't have a lot of family. And you couldn't go. I don't. There's nobody to meet. I don't have to meet anybody.
Danny
Damn. That's a black ass family. All right.
Big Jay Oakerson
Did they invite you?
Danny
I'm looking at you, Black Lou.
Big Jay Oakerson
Black Lou. How was your Thanksgiving?
Bobby Kelly
Awful.
Big Jay Oakerson
It was awful too.
Bobby Kelly
Terrible. Yes. We were with the white family. The white in laws.
Danny
Oh, dry ass turkey.
Bobby Kelly
I'm still hungry.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, really? Yes.
Bobby Kelly
It didn't work out.
Big Jay Oakerson
What happened?
Bobby Kelly
They put the turkey in upside down.
Big Jay Oakerson
What?
Danny
Even your half white son's black enough to know that food sucks.
Big Jay Oakerson
Why did they put the turkey upside down?
DJ Lou
Because they're.
Bobby Kelly
I don't know.
Danny
They're old whites, dude. They don't know what they're doing.
Big Jay Oakerson
Old whites? No.
DJ Lou
You're supposed to do that because the, you know, the. The thigh cooks. Takes longer. That's why they did that, Lou.
Bobby Kelly
They know they up.
DJ Lou
I was trying to.
Danny
They tried to spatchcock.
Big Jay Oakerson
No, spatchcock is when you take the spine out and smush it down. Yeah, upside down is just wild.
Danny
Oh, the upside down.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yes, upside down.
Danny
On purpose?
Bobby Kelly
No, not on purpose.
Big Jay Oakerson
They just fucked up.
Bobby Kelly
Yes.
Big Jay Oakerson
Did you come in and go, you're not cooking it right?
Bobby Kelly
I try to stay away.
Danny
They didn't know it was upside down.
Big Jay Oakerson
White people.
Danny
Hang on, hang on, hang on. They didn't know it was upside down.
Bobby Kelly
Correct.
Danny
I mean, if you drew a turkey.
You just draw it the same way. Everyone understands, right? Like, wow. Wow.
Bobby Kelly
Didn't cook evenly.
Big Jay Oakerson
Of course it didn't.
Bobby Kelly
Took like an extra two hours to get to finish up.
Big Jay Oakerson
God.
Bobby Kelly
Meanwhile, the sides are ready to go.
Danny
Oh, technically they could. Technically. Technically, they cooked the turkey right side up. If it was alive.
Big Jay Oakerson
What do they.
Danny
They put it on its. They put it on its feet.
They put the turkey on its legs, did they?
Big Jay Oakerson
What did they put in the turkey?
Danny
White macaroni salad.
Bobby Kelly
No, it was.
Big Jay Oakerson
They didn't put something in the turkey.
Bobby Kelly
It was a new recipe found on Tick Tock.
Big Jay Oakerson
What'd they do under the skin?
Danny
Did they put under the skin?
Big Jay Oakerson
They didn't put stuffed butter under the skin, Bobby.
Bobby Kelly
I was just as horrified. Just as horrified.
Danny
It's insane.
Bobby Kelly
They poured champagne on it.
Big Jay Oakerson
What?
Danny
What?
Big Jay Oakerson
How rich are they?
Danny
But champagne doesn't burn off anything that tastes good.
Big Jay Oakerson
I don't get champagne. What the. Who does champagne on a turkey?
Danny
Oh, God.
Big Jay Oakerson
You didn't say anything.
Bobby Kelly
Couldn't.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah, you could.
Danny
You could. Your mouth wasn't full of food.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Bobby Kelly
I offered the Popeyes turkey. You know you can get a turkey from Popeyes?
DJ Lou
Yeah.
Danny
Nice.
Bobby Kelly
Got shot down.
Big Jay Oakerson
Really?
Danny
Why? They thought you were wrong. They thought that was too black of an idea getting Popeyes involved on Thanksgiving. I do agree it sounds black as shit.
Big Jay Oakerson
What kind of sides do they have?
Bobby Kelly
We had mashed up turnips.
Danny
Raw marshmallows.
Bobby Kelly
We had a fucking turnip.
Big Jay Oakerson
Raw marshmallows.
Danny
Raw marshmallows?
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah. They had fresh cranberries, uncooked.
Danny
Hard potatoes.
Big Jay Oakerson
What did they have? What else did they have?
Bobby Kelly
Some loose mashed potatoes.
Big Jay Oakerson
Loose? The fuck is loose mashed potatoes?
Danny
They put too much water in the flakes.
Bobby Kelly
Yes.
Danny
These weren't. These weren't ground up potatoes.
Big Jay Oakerson
On Thanksgiving, they didn't make fresh mashed potatoes.
Danny
You think on Thanksgiving you do it? Listen, I grew up potato flakes. I don't give a fuck. But Thanksgiving, you gotta fucking mash up those potatoes.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah. You make a potato, you mash it up. That's part of it.
Danny
Stuffing, I think, by the way, we're just yelling at the women of these families, though. These are not things we're doing.
Big Jay Oakerson
No, of course not.
Danny
You're not mashing a fucking.
DJ Lou
Do you remember the video we watched when he took Alyssa to his side of the family?
Danny
I do. There's a DJ there.
DJ Lou
Amazing.
Big Jay Oakerson
And she was full.
DJ Lou
It was the complete opposite of what he's describing.
Danny
Four of his cousins were in the same sweatsuit.
Big Jay Oakerson
Did you have to call your parents and be like. And they were like, it's going to be all right, baby. Don't worry.
Bobby Kelly
I'm like, please save some leftovers for me for tomorrow so when I get home, I can actually have a Thanksgiving dinner.
Big Jay Oakerson
My God. You had Thanksgiving on Friday?
Danny
Black Friday. Black Friday.
Wow. I'll tell you what. Probably enjoyed a lot more watching them eagles lose. And on Black Friday, eating his turkey.
Big Jay Oakerson
Did you? Didn't say a thing. Did you have to sit there and eat it?
Bobby Kelly
I did.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, I did.
Bobby Kelly
But I think, you know, like you were just saying before, this might be one of Those turning points where we take it over from here on out.
Big Jay Oakerson
Gotta, man. Yeah, you gotta. There's a point when you have a child, when you get your own house where you have to start your own tradition. That way you do everything you like and everything you don't like, you eliminate. I do my Christmas. I do whatever. We used to have to wake up at my mom's house. Stockings first. You had to go through that. And then she'd come out with, like, toast. Just toast and, like, tea. You have to do that. We would get yelled at.
Danny
Toast and tea.
Big Jay Oakerson
If she caught us opening a. Yeah, just toast.
Danny
What dumb Boston shit.
Big Jay Oakerson
I don't know. It was poor white trash Boston shit.
Danny
Boston tea.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Danny
There was no, like, eat your morning mayonnaise and crabs.
Big Jay Oakerson
Eat your clam chowder.
Yeah, dude, I. We do our own Christmas now. We do our way. You come out, you do your stockings if you want to. We go right to a present. We do a present the night before. I love that. Open a gift the night before. I pass out all the gifts, I open all my shit last. It's all about Max and Dawn. Then we have a big pancakes or French toast, challah bread, French toast, breakfast. Oh, and then I always. With Max, you know the gift that he really want, and I'm like, we didn't get it. And then he. You know, and then I'd be like, dude, what's that out there?
Danny
Oh, God. Do you really?
Big Jay Oakerson
Dude, you didn't see. The saxophone's peeking up, buddy. The saxophone video is the best video ever. He wanted a saxophone for. He asked three days before Christmas. He goes, I wanna. I wanna. You think Santa will bring me a saxophone? I was like, it's too late for Santa. He's like, you think it's too late for Santa? He goes, it's never too late for Santa. I go, listen, Santa's not getting you a saxophone because I couldn't. It's not happening. He goes, all right, well, you guys don't have to believe, but I believe Santa could still get me a saxophone. And I. I literally looked at Don. I almost teared up, ran to a music store and bought him a saxophone.
Danny
Is it funny? And now it's just another thing with a hole in his room. He probably fucks with.
Put a sock on the inside of that. Fucking. That saxophone opening right there. Probably take that town for a little bit.
Christine
Did you ever learn?
Danny
Then you get the brass. Then you get the brass on your ass. Chili.
Big Jay Oakerson
He played saxophone in the. The school band for three years. Yeah, I Have a video of him. One of my proudest moments ever.
Danny
Fucking Max.
Big Jay Oakerson
That morning he was walking through the streets of Greenberg, playing the saxophone, not knowing how to play. I have a video of it. And then he was in the band three years later, going down the street in the parade, playing the sax. So he played. Doesn't play anymore, but why not play the drums now?
Danny
But he cried.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah, he did cry. It was so.
Danny
Remember, he's worried about Santa.
Big Jay Oakerson
He did.
Danny
Do you Pop? Pop? Do you think Santa.
Big Jay Oakerson
Not even that. He was confident Santa. I believe in Santa. Maybe you guys. He literally said, maybe you guys don't believe in Santa's magic anymore. But I do.
Christine
Oh, he knows how to get you.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, he got me good.
Christine
I was Isabella's like 13, and her mom thought she still believed in Santa Claus. I was like, there's no way. I was like, she has to be pulling some con where, like, she thinks.
She thinks that if she, like, says that Santa doesn't exist, she's not going to get Santa presents anymore. So she's just like, yeah, yeah, he's still Max.
Danny
Max.
Big Jay Oakerson
Max still pulls the Santa Claus. He was like, santa will bring me a dirt bike. I'm like, no, he won't. He's like, why? Because it's illegal for a 12 year old to drive a dirt bike. Santa doesn't do illegal things.
Danny
Hey, don't. Where's Max? He's downstairs practicing his saxophone with a young man.
Big Jay Oakerson
With James.
Danny
Ooh.
Big Jay Oakerson
Him and James, they're doing jiu jitsu. I thought now they're playing.
Danny
Now he's playing sax for while.
Big Jay Oakerson
While James does jiu jitsu, moves on him. Maximus does sexy, sexy sex.
Danny
That is funny. I'm looking at the seat. Jay goes to philly. I ordered 50 cheese steaks for a bunch of fans and came watch that sit there while everybody just boringly watched the Eagles get their dicks kicked in. Are you guys ready for a comedy show? Leave for 45 minutes. Also. Also, you have to leave for 45 minutes.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, that sucks.
Christine
Doggy's jersey's too big. There's a whole thing.
Big Jay Oakerson
What does that mean? Oh, is Philly jersey. Yeah, his Eagles jersey.
Danny
Yeah, her Eagles.
Big Jay Oakerson
Her. Sorry.
Danny
Don't misgender.
Big Jay Oakerson
My daughter, I apologize. It's not your daughter. It's a dog.
Danny
My dog.
Big Jay Oakerson
I get so mad at dawn. She talks to Doodles like she's a. Like she hear Doodles. Doodles, come over here. Now you can't go over there. That's not where you're supposed to be. Come over here. Come here, Doodles. Come on, girl. Come over here. I'll give you a treat. I go. I go, hey, Face. And she just comes.
Danny
No matter. Of course, no matter how old the dog gets, you could still baby talk them forever. Now what's happening is Max is getting older, so Dawn's reverting back to what I already see happening in the house is a dog being raised like a child.
Big Jay Oakerson
I love Doodles, but no, I.
Danny
If I died tomorrow, Christine would have a stroller for Dawkins.
Big Jay Oakerson
I wouldn't let it happen.
Danny
You won't be able to stop that.
Big Jay Oakerson
I would stop it.
Danny
Train's gonna be outta control, dude.
Big Jay Oakerson
I would break into the house and steal the. Steal every stroller.
Danny
Okay.
Big Jay Oakerson
And every little hat.
Danny
Hey, I appreciate that.
Big Jay Oakerson
I would steal all the outfits.
Danny
I appreciate it so much.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, she got a shirt that says Big J. She just made you big talkin Big J junior.
Danny
I mean, we've been. We've been. We've all wanted to talk about Danny Br.
Big Jay Oakerson

Danny
Danny Braff. Kicking it.
DJ Lou
Hello.
Christine
My Thanksgiving was great. Thanks.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, Christine, you weren't with Jay.
Christine
I. I was.
Big Jay Oakerson
So we. But you had Thanksgiving.
Christine
No, he spoke for both of us.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, yeah.
Danny
She had terrible Thanksgiving.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah, that's. Your Thanksgiving is with him. How did you.
Danny
Terrible Thanksgiving?
Christine
The nieces. How to hex. They were pretty excited about that.
Big Jay Oakerson
What the.
You would have been hung back in the day. Christine would have been drowned.
Danny
Like spells and.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yep. That's crazy.
Danny
Spells and shit.
Big Jay Oakerson
Danny, I just introduced you. You're not on the show. Listen, the thing is.
Danny
Ben, you have a question.
Big Jay Oakerson
Did he lean into a dead mic, like spells and stuff? Why did you teach the kids spells?
Christine
I was just joking around and they got really into it.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah, because they're gullible little.
Christine
When they would go, I'm hexing you. I'm hexing you.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, my God. What spells did you take?
Christine
It was super fun.
Big Jay Oakerson
What spells? Witchy.
Christine
There were no spells. It was just them pointing and hexing.
Big Jay Oakerson
Did you tell them to say anything?
Christine
No, I would put their fingers down.
Big Jay Oakerson
I'd be like, be careful with that, buddy. We have to.
Danny
We've taken subject diversions today that have been worthless.
What about my Thanksgiving? We're gonna watch the Corey Feldman versus the world thing. We keep pulling the brakes on momentum. We gotta get our shit back together, gang. It was that Wednesday off. No, that's what I think it was.
Big Jay Oakerson
No, a spell thing always catches my eye.
DJ Lou
I mean, I've never heard of Somebody teaching hexes.
Danny
There was nothing.
Big Jay Oakerson
The show is sponsored by Better Help. It's coming. The days are getting darker and longer. It's getting colder. And the holidays are here. Balancing family and travel and gifts and where you're going and who you're doing it with, it's easy to forget about yourself in the middle of all this chaos. We always forget to take care of ourselves because we're worried about everybody and everything else. That's why BetterHelp is encouraging you to rewrite traditions this season by making time for yourself. Incorporating therapy into your new existing traditions can help you slow down and take care of yourself during what can be a joyful but sometimes hectic, lonely time of year. And that's what you want. You want to enjoy it. The holiday looks different for everyone. Maybe it's baking your great aunt's sweet potato pie or starting something new, like a quiet night with friends. Therapy can be one of those new traditions, too. Better Help gives you space to pause, pause, reflect and feel more grounded. They match you with a licensed therapist based on your goals and preferences. And if it's not the right fit, you can switch anytime. With over 30,000 therapists and more than 5 million people served, BetterHelp helps people close the year with clarity instead of chaos. This December, start a new tradition by taking care of you. Our listeners get 10% off@betterhelp.com bonfire. That's B E T T E R h e l p.com Bonfire Guys, thanks.

Danny
It was just kids pointing fingers.
Big Jay Oakerson
Pointing fingers is going. You're hexed. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The power.
Danny
I'm sorry. Let's ride it out to the end of the show. My bad.
Big Jay Oakerson
Let's see if we can do it.
DJ Lou
I am excited for this.
Danny
What? The hex. Oh, the Corey Feldman thing.
DJ Lou
Corey Feldman thing.
Danny
So who found this?
Big Jay Oakerson
Well, I have spies, and one of my spies sent it to me.
Danny
It's on YouTube.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Danny
So it's out there.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah, but it has.
Jay, please don't. Don't do this to my spies.
Danny
Apologies. Okay, but this is.
Big Jay Oakerson
I have spies looking all the time for Corey Feldman. New things for me. I pay quite a deal of money, and in exchange for certain Things for them to 24 hours a day be looking for new Corey Feldman things.
Danny
And this is it.
Big Jay Oakerson
This came in on the wire this morning from Russia.
Danny
I watched this down the wire, the AP wire. I. I watched this when you sent it, not knowing what it was. It's a documentary apparently coming out about Corey Feldman called Corey Feldman versus the World. Yeah, big subject over here, Corey Feldman. And I thought because of the access it seems to have, that it was gonna be made by him to really like kind of not even clean it up, just be okay, this is my cool story. But it seems like it's almost anti him, even though he's in it.
Big Jay Oakerson
Well, even if he was in it, it would wind up being anti for sure.
Danny
But it's usually him not knowing what the thing. It seems like more like the narrative is. They're kind of exposing like a weirdo's life.
Big Jay Oakerson
I still think there's somewhere inside of him. I watch Corey. I watch a couple things of Corey and Corey. What was the show called? Corey the Two Coreys. And he was so normal in that. Like he was kind of normal, like regular. Still trying to make it actor as opposed to the other Corey, who he wasn't.
Danny
He wasn't. Years and years failed at that point, yet everyone still knew who he was. He wasn't acting like he used to getting roles, but he would get stuff here and there. He had that around that time. He was in Demon Knight with Dennis Miller, the Tales from the Crit movie that came out. Yeah, he was in that. So he was getting stuff. And then he just got wrapped into this dumb belief that he's a musician.
Big Jay Oakerson
But even. Yeah, even in the arguments that they had, he was. It was still the normal one of the two.
Danny
Yes.
DJ Lou
Yeah. Compared to Corey Feld, to Corey Haim, he seemed very normal.
Danny
Yeah, yeah. Corey Haim was off the rails. He was, I mean, careening towards death, clearly.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Danny
And Corey Feldman was more like, hey man, we still got our names out there and chicks want to fuck. That was enough for him. But I guess he wasn't cornholed non stop the way that Corey Haim was.
Big Jay Oakerson
Not for me.
Danny
Stop. But so, yeah, this is a documentary that's coming out. I said, listen to the. It's a lot of audio, so it's a good thing to play. We could play it. Take a peek. By the way, we know her. First person they show in the whole documentary is Jezebel. Sweet.
DJ Lou
Yep.
Danny
So pause it for a second because I mean, I love the trailer. Yes. This is back when you're still doing the angels. All the angels. And we were talking. We've been talking to Jezebel Sweet for quite some time. So like she's been out of this for a while now and she's in the documentary as an angel. So it's going back. This is like somebody. I feel like Corey film maybe tried to stop this from coming out and it's coming out. If he's behind it, I bow to him and I say he does get it, then he's being a shtick for a thing.
Big Jay Oakerson
I feel like there is somewhere chance I have. There's somewhere in him where it's like, look man, in the day.
What we're like today being this can get you fucking likes and views and fame. Got him on the Loserville tour. It's got people talking about him all the fucking time.
Danny
You know, I mean we could not get anybody to vote for him on Dancing with the Stars. But that's not the same thing. That's different though.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Danny
Different crossover. Really bad different crossover.
Big Jay Oakerson
He was. He was the. I think Danny Braff would do better on Dancing with the Stars.
Danny
I know he would. With the right partner. Me.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah, you. And a little bit of magic.
Danny
I'll be your professional.
DJ Lou
I would love Jezebel to call in and get her impression on this.
Danny
Yeah, well, she remembers this documentary being made or this footage being done. Absolutely.
Big Jay Oakerson
This is.
Christine
This has got to be 10 years old.
Big Jay Oakerson
The footage.
Danny
I'll text Drift show, see if she'll call him tomorrow. That'd be a lot of fun if she'll call him because that's weird.
Big Jay Oakerson
Nothing from Jerry Rocha?
Danny
Huh?
Big Jay Oakerson
Nothing.
Danny
Oh, that maybe did it. You think he reached over because his phone buzzed to grab it and that's what did it.
Big Jay Oakerson
The tube came out.
Danny
Tube came out? Yeah.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, that would suck probably. No, no, no, no, no.
Danny
His air tube.
DJ Lou
I wonder if we're in.
Danny
This might be God.
I will say we were pretty. Not even ground level. I think the genesis of really doing a broadcasting about Corey Feldman. Now there is full on podcast just about Corey Feldman exclusively. Yeah, Jim and them I believe is the big one. It's just Corey Feldman news.
Big Jay Oakerson
What did he say at the end?
Christine
That should be the menu we saw.
Big Jay Oakerson
Let me see.
Danny
That's just the way the cookie.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
DJ Lou
One of the greatest nights of my life. That concert was buddy when the full Angels on his birthday did a three hour concert.
Danny
I know it was champ.
DJ Lou
Told everyone.
Danny
I know. It never got better after that.
Big Jay Oakerson
No, I'll tell you what I mean, seeing him Live. He really does give it 159,000%. Oh, yeah. God damn it. In the sun.
Danny
Definitely.
Big Jay Oakerson
Definitely afternoon. Opening that show up in that outfit.
Danny
Yeah.
Big Jay Oakerson
I've never wanted to run to the stage and touch somebody in my career of going to concerts.
Danny
And no one. Would you have been more sad if you got up there and, like, you did. You weren't able to get to him. Buddy, I was bummed.
Big Jay Oakerson
I was front row at Van Halen.
Danny
Or Van Hagar.
Big Jay Oakerson
Van Hagar. No, come on, dude. Come on. Van Hagar had hit after hit after hit.
Danny
Commercial.
Big Jay Oakerson
No way. Come on.
Danny
Commercial. Hits, dude.
Bobby Kelly
No.
Big Jay Oakerson
Come on.
Danny
Commercial.
Big Jay Oakerson
I mean, some, but not all. They. They were great. No, dude, one of the. I mean, one of the best concerts I've ever been to.
Danny
Yeah. Van Halen. Van Hagar made songs for blue angel planes to fly over to.
Big Jay Oakerson
Right now.
Danny
Tomorrow.
DJ Lou
Song blows.
Big Jay Oakerson
That's what dreams are made of. Come on. So baby cry.
Christine
Oh, no.
Big Jay Oakerson
I gotta.
Danny
What?
Big Jay Oakerson
I got a text message from, like, some weird number. Hope it's not from the other side.
Danny
Oh, God. From 666.
Big Jay Oakerson
I'm not here now.
Bobby.
Danny
I've passed.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah. There was something that happened to me at that show where I ran to try to touch Corey Feldman.
Danny
Oh, yeah.
Big Jay Oakerson
My insides.
Danny
You gotta react quicker. That's. We need a little more Josh Adamyers. Josh Adamyers just fucking started leaping over people to get to that stage, and security just watched him get directly in front of Corey Feldman and slap fans with him.
Big Jay Oakerson
Slap hands. Nothing's gonna do.
Danny
Yeah, nothing's gonna do.
Big Jay Oakerson
So we should definitely do a night at your house when this comes out.
Danny
Oh, yeah. And we come out.
Big Jay Oakerson
You know, we could do. We do it on Zoom or streamyard and let all the fans in.
Danny
Can you do that?
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah, you can let them in the chat.
Danny
Yeah.
Big Jay Oakerson
On Zoom. On Zoom. You can just give them the zoom and let them all come in.
Danny
Oh, we get shut down for showing it, though, if it's somebody's thing.
Big Jay Oakerson
Well, you could do it on streamyard and put it behind a Patreon.
Danny
It's coming out soon.
DJ Lou
Soon.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
Christine
December 12th.
Danny
What's it gonna be on?
Big Jay Oakerson
Is that coming out in theaters? Because if it's in a theater.
Danny
Oh, Jez. Oh, hang on. Go up.
Big Jay Oakerson
She's part of it.
Danny
She's not only part of it. She's, like, in the top cast there. Yeah.
Big Jay Oakerson
Who produced it? Who directed it?
Christine
Marcy Hume.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, Marcy.
Christine
She worked on Hoarders.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Danny
Oh, Mars.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, Marc. She's still Wearing the glasses.
Danny
Marcy Hume does look somebody I would know though. In show business.
She used to work at JFL Festival and now she's over at abc.
Hood to Coast. That's a weird thing to be a part of.
DJ Lou
It's so bizarre because you're right, this is like 10 year old footage.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah, right.
Christine
The last thing she's listed for was.
Big Jay Oakerson
26. Who's the producer on it though? Is Corey a executive producer?
DJ Lou
Ep.
Big Jay Oakerson
Because if he's an ep then he's involved.
Danny
What, you just X'd out the credits?
Christine
Well, no, because that was her credit.
Big Jay Oakerson
Casting crew. Look for crew.
Danny
No ep.
Big Jay Oakerson
Who's the eps.
Danny
Let's see.
Big Jay Oakerson

Danny

Big Jay Oakerson
Who is it?
Christine
Jim Cummings. Which is that Pooh?
Danny
That's the same name.
Big Jay Oakerson

Danny
It's probably not the Jim Cummings.
Christine
No.
Big Jay Oakerson
Oh, I know. That's Jimmy.
Danny
Oh, Jimmy.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah. He used to sing with Morrissey.
Danny
Jimmy Cumstone. He's known for Thunder Road. Yeah, Jimmy. Come. You don't have to keep going through his stuff. I just want to see the names of the people that are there.
Christine
Yeah, well, these are the names.
DJ Lou
So he's not listed.
Danny
He's not listed.
Big Jay Oakerson
Whoa, wait a minute. Who's the last one?
Danny
Star Rosencrans. That's a weird name. Star go to look who Star Rosencrans is.
Big Jay Oakerson
You think he's Jewish?
Danny
Star Rosencry. Yeah. Now these people don't like they're being friends at all.
DJ Lou
No.
Danny
All right, I'm gonna. I'm gonna text her now.
DJ Lou
No way. He proved that this. Now that I'm.
Big Jay Oakerson
Who else is there? What's the other name of the producers?
Christine
Adam Franklin. Marcy Hume. Star Rosencrantz. Phil Shapiro. Nick Weiss. Richmond. Jim Cummings.
Big Jay Oakerson
And I know well. Phil. Phil Shapiro. That's. That's definitely.
See what he's got. No, no photo. He's the money guy. I think I'll put all the money behind this.
Danny
I'm asking. We're on air right now.
Christine
Wow.
Big Jay Oakerson
Well, watching trailer I wonder is. Is you guys. You guys, the bonfire when you started. This has to be in it because if it's that old they show footage of. They have to show a concert we were at. Yeah, they gotta. They gotta.
Danny
Well the show you guys might have been the concert like that tour.
Big Jay Oakerson
Do they have to.
DJ Lou
This is the. This was the main tour. It looks like that they're no, but.
Danny
They were doing a bunch of dates that was just happened to be his birthday. I'm saying that was a tour. It might not be our exact show.
Oh.
Big Jay Oakerson
God. We should start a band.
Danny
Hang on. Will you call.
Bonfire tomorrow to talk about it?
Big Jay Oakerson
Ooh.
Danny
This is our only connection.
Big Jay Oakerson
Wow, this is gonna be fun.
Danny
If she says yes, it'll be very fun because she'll have some semblance, some idea of what's going. Well one, she doesn't like him at all.
Big Jay Oakerson
Why?
Danny
Huh.
Christine
Turns out he's actually a piece of it.
Big Jay Oakerson
Turns out he made me eat peas for six months.
Danny
Was it her that called us? She was the one who told us initially. But the thing is like, oh, they're all doing drugs and trying to. Him and his two girls gonna everybody and stuff like all the other angels. It's definitely a. Like a cultish kind of thing.
DJ Lou
She had to stay at Feld Mansion, I believe.
Danny
Yeah, I was. Got to stay at Felt Mansion.
DJ Lou
Yeah, got to. Was lucky enough.
Danny
Now it's funny stars and they just go to the thing and you just see his weird like dreadlock son who keeps trying to kill himself and then. And his tattooed face girlfriend who's younger than his son.
Big Jay Oakerson
So funny is Elaine. My friend Elaine from sex, drugs and rock roll made it to the finals.
Danny
Did she lose?
Big Jay Oakerson
She lost to of course, the Crocodile Hunter son. Yeah, the Crocodile Dundee son because they, you know. He was unbelievable, by the way. I mean, he was made to be a dancer. I don't know if you saw his dances. He was incredible.
Danny
I did. I brought him to the show when I watched the Corey Feldman once.
Big Jay Oakerson
He's unbelievable. But we could call her. I can't see if I get her on the phone. It's funny too, because she was the finalist in that. And the next day on her Instagram, her. I guess she got sponsored by a vibrator company and she just had a. She has a thing on her, like her page about Elaine Hendrick about getting your right. Yeah, she's just like, you know what I do in between? Blah, blah, blah. I masturbate.
DJ Lou
And.
Big Jay Oakerson
And she's just plugging this weird vibrator that I want to see if I can get for dawn here.
Danny
Let's work backwards from this. I don't know what the product's going to be right yet, but I want the slogan to be get your clit together.
Big Jay Oakerson
It's right there, the one with the red shirt. Red shirt, right.
Danny
Hey, the whatever baba vibrator. Get your clit together.
Big Jay Oakerson
This is right after she Was a finalist in the thing. She popped this on. She must go.
Danny
I've been wearing a butt plug this whole show.
Big Jay Oakerson
The vibrator is weird to hit. Play it.
Christine
I'm never alone for dinner.
Danny
She's joking, but it's too long.
Big Jay Oakerson
It's too long, but it reminds me like a 1950s commercial.
Danny
I think it's the thing. She's trying to be fun. I mean, she's clearly trying to be fun. It's not, like, done, like, where they were like, hey, I need you to do this commercial, like, verbatim. That's like her being funny for sure.
Big Jay Oakerson
She must have got a ton of cash to do that, right? No, couldn't.
Danny
How much cash do you think little dildos make?
Big Jay Oakerson
A lot.
Danny
That particular little dildo is not gonna be. Be the one that puts her over the edge.
Big Jay Oakerson
How do you know?
Danny
Yeah, that's the body brain vibrator.
Big Jay Oakerson
Have you heard of that vibrator Bellesa Never looks pretty good. It goes in and then sits on.
Danny
Your bunch of things like it. It's like the Bose out ear headphones.
I think we'll do the same effect. The Bose out out of ear headphones.
Big Jay Oakerson
I'm gonna get a.
Danny
The Bose.
Big Jay Oakerson
Let's see if she can hook us all up with boleses for Christmas.
DJ Lou
Can I point out that the. I might have said earlier, the. The newest episode of Landman. It's a bit jarring because it's the manly show, I think on tv.
Danny
Sure.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah.
DJ Lou
Oil men doing manly. And then they cut to what episode? The newest one.
Danny
Is it episode three? I didn't see it yet.
DJ Lou
Yeah, I'm not gonna bring it up.
Big Jay Oakerson
Came out yesterday.
DJ Lou
No, no, I'm not talking about the show, but they cut to the. The newest prep commercial. Is it.
Danny
That's just you, buddy. Targeted ad.
DJ Lou
Yeah, dude, I don't know anymore.
Big Jay Oakerson
I didn't see that ad. It's a. I just got ads for bearskin hoodies and. And guns.
DJ Lou
Well, the one I want is a.
Danny
Black man and other things I like.
DJ Lou
Yeah, black men with a wig pretty much.
Danny
For cheesesteaks and air conditioning, I got.
Big Jay Oakerson
I got Old Spice and chapstick.
DJ Lou
I had a black trans man who looked like Magic Johnson's son, honest to God.
Danny
By the way.
Trans men, I like that a lot. Is your. I trust that that is a transman over there. I don't think I'm crazy in saying that's a trans man.
Big Jay Oakerson
I should. I think they should make the Transformers little. Little when they transform sound.
Danny
The doctor should do that. When they're cutting off a wiener.
He goes, wake up.
Wake up, chaz bono. Or should I say chaz transmen.
That's what I would want to do. I would say, leave my wiener, but just empty it out so I can just push it in backwards. And then when I do that, when I go, hey, you want to fuck my wiener? Or squeak on.
There it is.
Big Jay Oakerson
And then when you want to back.
Danny
Out, oh, no, you're looking for a little dick. Let me blow my thumb real quick.
There she is. I mean, he is. Oh, send the Blue Angels, everybody. Van Hagar's playing.
Is there Olympics starting around here? What's happening? What's going on? Is there opening ceremonies for something big happening?
Hey, is this supposed to be a rock band playing some rock music while I fix my car? This feels like I'm supposed to be piloting an F14 over something regal.
Big Jay Oakerson
God. You didn't like it when Eddie went to the dude?
Danny
What do you mean I don't like. Of course I like it when they start giving me the starting lineup at the Army Navy game. Absolutely.
Christ almighty.
DJ Lou
I'm sure this is my least favorite Van Halen.
Danny
We're back.
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah, I was front.
Danny
Front row trying to touch Michael Anthony. You weren't even looking to try to touch the right guy. You're too young for that joke, Danny Bradford. But that was a great one. Michael Anthony. I stand by it. Make sure you go see Bobby Kelly and Uncle Vinny's in Point pleasant, New Jersey, December 5th and the 6th.

Episode Title: The Whitest Thanksgiving
Date: December 9, 2025
Podcast Host: SiriusXM’s Faction Talk Channel 103
Hosts: Big Jay Oakerson & Robert Kelly
Summary by: [Expert Podcast Summarizer]
This episode—titled "The Whitest Thanksgiving"—dives into the awkward, hilarious, and sometimes downright disappointing Thanksgiving experiences of Jay, Bobby, and the Bonfire crew. Blending their signature blunt humor and biting commentary, they share tales of dry turkey, culinary disasters, white family traditions gone awry, and the push to start new family traditions. The latter half of the episode transitions to the comedy world's fixation on Corey Feldman, including a discussion of the upcoming documentary “Corey Feldman vs. the World.” Throughout, the hosts and their crew riff on pop culture, roast each other, and deliver classic Bonfire banter, keeping the mood light, irreverent, and authentic.
[06:01–16:42]
Dry Turkey & Upside-Down Cooking:
The group shares recent Thanksgiving misadventures, focusing on Bobby Kelly’s shocking “white in-law” feast where the turkey was cooked upside down.
Traditional White Sides Gone Wrong:
Misery Loves Company:
White Family Rituals:
Jay relates poor white traditions from his Boston upbringing—like stockings and “just toast for breakfast.”
[13:28–16:26]
Jay recounts making Christmas special for his son, Max, including the story of getting him a saxophone at the last minute to keep the faith in Santa alive.
Discussion on the importance of forming your own family rituals once you have kids and your own space:
[24:08–37:01]
New Documentary – “Corey Feldman vs. the World”
Insider Access & Longstanding Jokes:
Comedy's Relationship with Feldman:
Unpacking the Doc’s Production:
[29:42–41:29]
Van Halen vs. Van Hagar:
Favorite Concert Memories:
Advertisers & Off-the-Rail Jokes:
Bobby Kelly:
Big Jay Oakerson:
Danny:
On traditions:
The episode is fast-paced, quick-witted, and laced with the crew’s trademark blend of genuine nostalgia, savage roasting, and pop culture savvy. Listeners are treated as insiders to the crew’s running gags and are welcomed into the world of real-life comedy family dysfunction, with a heavy dose of holiday-season honesty.
If you haven’t heard the episode, expect a relentless, honest, and bitingly funny take on the realities of family holidays—the kind where the turkey’s wrong, the sides are worse, and your only refuge is starting new traditions (or just riffing about it with your funniest friends). The second half’s deep comedy-nerd dive into Corey Feldman’s career and upcoming documentary is an inside-baseball treat for comedy fans and pop-culture junkies alike. As always, it’s The Bonfire—brutally honest, sometimes just brutal, but always hysterical.
