Episode Overview

The Bonfire brings together comics Big Jay Oakerson and Robert Kelly with returning favorite Dan Soder for a riotous, inside-baseball episode that celebrates brutal self-roasting, comedy history, and the camaraderie/competition among stand-up comics. Ostensibly waiting for Ari Shafir to join, the trio kill time by riffing about awkward early stand-up sets, embarrassing old videos, comedy influences, and legendary bombing stories. The episode is highlighted by their collective deep dive into Jay’s very first set at a black comedy club in the late 1990s—a moment of both cringeworthy nostalgia and hard-earned comedic insight.

Key Discussion Points & Segments

1. “Ass-Shaking” Footloose Dance-Off (01:33–09:44)

• Opening Bit: Jay, Bobby, and Soder start by hilariously reenacting the famous “Footloose” dance scene—each trying to outdo the others’ “ass shake.” They tease and nitpick each other’s moves with everyone on the in-studio crew eventually pressured to join in.

  • Notable Quotes:
    • Jay: “I'm gonna show you what she did. Give me a taste, Bobby. Can you do it?” (02:20)
    • Dan: “I became her. I became she.” (03:41)
    • Robert: “You became her. He became she.” (03:42)

• Extended riff on dance technique: The crew playfully analyzes “who nailed the move.” There's friendly trash-talk, joking about motivation, and delight in the physical spectacle.

  • Soder: “Your butt's arriving. But much like Ari Shafir, your butt's arriving late.” (08:33)

---

2. Gas Digital Retreat & Legendary Snoring (09:44–12:23)

• Stories from a comedians’ vacation: The guys recount a Gas Digital retreat where violent snoring drove one comic (Mike) to sleep outdoors.
  • Robert: “He would do the horror movie snore where it would stop and you go, it's over. He died. And then, oh yeah, that's exactly...” (11:23)
  • Jay: “It’s the Jason Voorhees…he’s opening his eyes at the end.” (11:28)
• Friday the 13th digression: Comparing snoring to horror movie reveals, riffing on illogical horror tropes.

---

3. Mockery of Comedic Personas & Cringeworthy Comedy Music (12:23–24:16)

• Transition to the main theme: Discussion shifts to reviewing old sets and cringing about former comedy personas—"Hollywood Bob," Dane Cook music, and cringe-cameo moments.

  • Soder: “You guys never knew Hollywood Bob?” (20:28)
  • Robert: “You did it. And then Dane Cook goes, I’ve got a whole pocket full of these.” (20:42)

• Pat McAfee ‘Dookie’ Song Review: The hosts roast Pat McAfee’s attempt at music, drawing a parallel to comics trying to expand into other art forms.

  • Jay: “Whoever let him record that should be shot in the head, execution style.” (22:12)

---

4. Setting the Stage: Reviewing Jay’s Earliest Stand-Up (24:16–37:44)

• Context: Jay sets up the infamous first set video—early in his career, at the all-black Laugh House in Philadelphia (circa 1997–1998), filmed by his supportive friend Jamie.
  • Jay: “I must have played at least a few more other black shows… From what I say, it’s not my first time, but it’s early. My tone and everything.” (26:21)
• Speculation on wardrobe: Comics obsess over Jay’s look—Silver chain, big and tall urbanwear, inside-out shirt?—and what it means for “stage persona.”
  • Robert: “Can I tell you right now you’re dressed a lot less urban than I thought you would be.” (33:24)
• Analyzing movement and stage swagger: Play-by-play on Jay’s stage entrance—alternately credited as “scientific economy of movement” and “early-days posturing.”
  • Robert: “At this point, I would tell you it’s downright scientific.” (34:26)

---

5. Watching and Roasting the Tape (37:44–57:52)

• Breakdown of Jay’s Opening: They screen Jay’s first lines—awkward acknowledgement of the black audience, transparently seeking acceptance, and giving a “speech” about belonging.

  • Jay’s actual opener: “This is primarily an all black club. I play usually all black clubs. I’m used to it. I don’t try to win you guys, I’m sorry.” (37:47)
  • Robert: “This is fantastic. I’m lost in awe of your Save the Last Dance comedy set.” (40:18)

• Unpacking New Comic Mistakes:

  • Too many crowd greetings (“How’s everyone doing?”), oversharing nerves, trying to telegraph that he’s not pandering by mentioning what he won't do (e.g., talk about rap).
  • Jay: “I start informing them that I’m white. It’s okay.” (48:56)

• Reminiscing on friend support: Jay’s supportive white-girl friend Jamie is heard on tape cheering him on.

  • Dan: “If you buy a Jay action figure, it comes with a supportive white girl.” (42:26)

• The agony of having “rookie tape” resurface: The hosts compare the 90s (when embarrassing sets could stay buried) with the Instagram age where comics’ earliest work lives online.

  • Robert: “This was found when…I don’t know, your friend’s going through a divorce or an attic fire, but they found it...Versus a lot of people that start now, their open mic is on Instagram within six hours.” (42:00)

---

6. Comics’ On-Stage Improv and "The DVM Way" (47:49–49:55)

• Discussion of a stand-up prompt night at The Comedy Cellar: Bobby describes getting prompts like “dicks,” “bloodletting,” and “nicknames,” and embracing absurdity rather than the expected punchlines.
  • Jay: “He hypnotized me:...he goes, ‘Yeah, I hate dicks...wait, do you guys think I’m talking about penis? No, no, no...I mean dicks, like guys that are assholes.’” (47:49)
  • Dan: “When I was younger, I loved dicks. I was a dick. You understand? I love mean people. But now I hate dicks. Oh, I have serenity.” (48:36)

---

7. Ari Shafir Arrives / Final Breakdown (50:00–58:00)

• Ari Joins: Ari Shafir enters, gets updated on Jay’s set, and cueing up to experience the cringe with the group.
  • Robert: “He looks like they caught the Unabomber’s assistant.” (50:27)
• Meta-Commentary: Jay notes he doesn’t see why anyone let him keep doing comedy after seeing his early work, emphasizing the growth and pain all comics face.
  • Jay: “I don’t see what anyone saw to let me continue past this point.” (53:01)
  • Group marvels at the endurance and delusion required in early stand-up careers.

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Nostalgia and Embarrassment:

  • Jay: “If I was watching a new comic now, I mean, I guess if they said he was, like, under a year in, sure…But even under a year in, everything about it is weird.” (41:38)

• On Comedy Growth:

  • Dan: “That’s a meme. That’s a brain picture.” (47:48)
  • Robert: “This is why I feel bad for comics starting now—because they have to put this out…the open mic is on Instagram within six hours.” (42:00)

• On the Unrelenting Roasting:

  • Robert to Jay (about beard): "Clearly doesn’t connect. It’s like a bridge that went out.” (57:04)
  • Jay (mocking himself): “My beard didn’t connect to my mustache till four years ago.” (57:10)

• Self-Deprecation: The hosts are merciless with themselves and each other, finding humor in their failures and awkward beginnings.

Summary for Listeners

This episode is a perfect encapsulation of The Bonfire’s appeal: hilarious, unsparing, and deeply inside the world of stand-up comedy. Through playful competition, stories of humiliation, and a shared celebration of “how far we’ve come,” Jay, Bobby, Dan (and eventually Ari) take listeners on a tour of old wounds, big laughs, and the tender realities behind the myth of the comic. The heart of the show—screening and dissecting Jay’s embarrassing rookie tape—becomes both a group therapy session and a masterclass in both humility and resilience. For comedy fans and working comics alike, it’s a hilarious ode to bombing, growth, and the joy of roasting your friends and yourself.

And now the bonfire with Big J

[Jay Oakerson]

Okerson and Robert Kelly. You are young. Hey, baby, it's you. I'm always taken back to this song's one thing for me, and I don't even know why. It's good because she had the flattest, narrowest ass in the world. But the girl in Footloose, when they go to the bar and sing this and they just do a cut of her Jordache's ass. And it's that part when it goes. Back it up, Lou. When it. When the music drops down. So much older is when they're walking out on the floor. They finally find a place where dancing's legal. Right here. Shake that.

[Robert Kelly]

Oh, back. Boom, boom, pow.

Come on, Jiggle, jiggle, jiggle.

[Jay Oakerson]

Wait, we got the cameras going. Back it up again, Lou. I'm gonna show you what she did. Give me a taste, Bobby. Come on. Can you do it? You know you're trying to show off that fat wagon, ma'.

Well, because he's staring you down with a death stare.

[Robert Kelly]

He wanted to win.

[Jay Oakerson]

It was. It was inaugurated the win.

I gave it to you. We have a very special guest in Dan Soda.

[Jay Oakerson]

Yeah. You introduce him so we can get to the bottom of Jason my ass thing. Let me tell you.

[Robert Kelly]

I understand what Jacob was saying because Bobby went to a place in his head because I was the only one that saw him shut his eyes and put himself in the bar.

[Jay Oakerson]

He panicked.

[Robert Kelly]

He never know. No, no, no. Here's what he was doing. He was trying to go meditative.

[Jay Oakerson]

He.

[Dan Soder]

Yes, I became her.

[Robert Kelly]

He became her. He became she.

[Dan Soder]

I became she.

[Robert Kelly]

But you, you buried him with the choreography because you knew. You knew when to shake them hips.

[Jay Oakerson]

Bring up the scene. Christine Hurt. So good.

[Dan Soder]

Technical.

[Robert Kelly]

No. But I'll tell you right now, Footloose. You were in that goddamn bar.

[Dan Soder]

I was in that bar.

[Robert Kelly]

I was wearing Jordache and Kevin Bacon was watching you dance.

[Dan Soder]

And my ass was shaped like a heart. Yes, yes.

[Jay Oakerson]

You didn't even wiggle it in the right. He didn't even do the right thing.

[Robert Kelly]

But Jay's was beat for beat.

[Jay Oakerson]

Yes.

[Robert Kelly]

On the. On the move.

[Dan Soder]

Well, can I say this, though? Jay. Jay's done that probably alone in a room. That was a thousand times.

[Robert Kelly]

That was him an hour ago getting ready for the show.

[Dan Soder]

Yeah, that was him naked in the shower. I. That was my first time doing.

[Robert Kelly]

You think he didn't think of that and then practice it?

[Dan Soder]

Oh, yes.

[Jay Oakerson]

Bring it up, Dan. Take it for a run yourself.

[Robert Kelly]

Come on, Dan, queue it up.

[Jay Oakerson]

Queue it up. Young boy here comes with a girl like,

Feels good. Feels great.

[Jay Oakerson]

It's a good first shot.

[Robert Kelly]

Feels good.

[Jay Oakerson]

It's a great first shot.

[Robert Kelly]

You know what? I was wrong. It feels great.

[Jay Oakerson]

Oh, God damn it. I could already see it right now.

[Robert Kelly]

Jacob's gonna nail it.

[Jay Oakerson]

Black lose getting fucking left out here of this ass shaking thing. Black Lou. Take it back. Black Lou, give us a taste.

[Robert Kelly]

Time to hit the rhythm section. Black Lou and Jacob go on Little

[Robert Kelly]

Okay, here we go.

[Dan Soder]

Pull that shirt up. Pull that shirt up. Yeah, there you Go.

[Jay Oakerson]

Oh, here comes.

Zoo. Patrick, duck to water.

[Jay Oakerson]

Jacob, of course we're not gonna leave you out, dude. Fucking nail it.

[Robert Kelly]

Come on, dude. You're the prince of Jewish R and B. The clown prince of Jewish R and B. I've always said you're the heir apparent.

[Jay Oakerson]

Oh, here he goes.

[Robert Kelly]

Here, he's there.

[Jay Oakerson]

Oh, yeah. Bring it home, Jacob. Pow.

[Robert Kelly]

Now, I don't.

[Dan Soder]

I mean, what.

[Robert Kelly]

Listen, this might be a lot for me to ask as a guest, but DJ Lou doing this might just give everybody bones.

[Jay Oakerson]

DJ Lou, I think it's time, dude. This is the time. Lou.

[Robert Kelly]

Lou. Lou. I'm trying to bust in my pants on my day back.

[Dan Soder]

I don't need to let my girlfriend see my ass. I'm not gonna showcase it.

[Jay Oakerson]

Gee, it's not showcasing your ass, it's just showing. You got those moods, man.

[Robert Kelly]

Come on, Lou.

[Jay Oakerson]

Can I ask you a question? Can I ask you a question, Lou? Do you need to see me do it one more time?

[Robert Kelly]

I forgot that Lou takes off his jeans like a paraplegic because he doesn't want his groo girlfriend to see his butt.

[Dan Soder]

You know how mad Paco is. We haven't asked him yet.

[Jay Oakerson]

Oh, Paco. It's coming around, dude.

[Robert Kelly]

Paco came here to dance.

[Jay Oakerson]

Yeah, Paco is busking outside, dancing.

[Robert Kelly]

I saw him do Michael Jackson.

[Jay Oakerson]

DJ Lou, Just a taste.

[Dan Soder]

Dude, what if we all do it with you together?

[Robert Kelly]

I don't know.

[Dan Soder]

Feel so bad inside. Look at me. I thought the same thing. It makes you feel brilliant inside, more theatrical. I'd like to be behind the scenes on this one. That is true. I'm very theatrical.

[Jay Oakerson]

Oh, my God. Fine. Christine, it comes. Comes down to you. Now I don't have to.

[Dan Soder]

Come on, Paco.

[Jay Oakerson]

Go ahead before you do it. Paco, I know you're not familiar with the song. Do you. Do you think you need to see me do it one more time?

[Dan Soder]

I do.

[Jay Oakerson]

Okay.

[Robert Kelly]

All right.

[Jay Oakerson]

He needs to see it, though, because he doesn't know what the part is.

[Dan Soder]

I needed a second shot to get me to where I needed to be. So. I understand.

[Jay Oakerson]

You understand? Yeah. Bring it back.

[Robert Kelly]

I'm expecting Paco to have tear away pants.

[Dan Soder]

Paco, do it in your underwear.

[Robert Kelly]

Here it goes. Here is Jay. He holds on to his touch.

[Dan Soder]

Can I tell you what Jay does?

[Robert Kelly]

It's English at the end.

[Dan Soder]

It's. It's. It's little short music. And he saves the oomph for the

[Robert Kelly]

last boom, the punchline.

[Jay Oakerson]

Did you want to take another shot at it now that you See the new way?

[Dan Soder]

I think so.

[Jay Oakerson]

Yes. Okay. Jay nailed the kapow.

[Robert Kelly]

Yeah.

[Dan Soder]

Jay has such joy.

[Jay Oakerson]

Yeah, Paco, take a good look because you're next.

[Robert Kelly]

Bobby's there too. All right. All right, now where. I just. I don't mean to go all Dancing with the Stars on you.

[Jay Oakerson]

You have to.

[Robert Kelly]

But where you missed is the thing that you pointed out. What Jay is great at is a swing. His swing at the end. Swing at the end, gives a nice.

[Dan Soder]

He's hitting the crash symbol with his ass.

[Robert Kelly]

Yes, yes. And where you are. Your butt's arriving.

[Dan Soder]

I'm riding on eight a little bit.

[Robert Kelly]

Your butt's arriving. But much like Ari Shafir, your butt's arriving late.

[Dan Soder]

Yes, that's it right there.

[Robert Kelly]

That's right. Jay's the pitching coach. He just want to get your full circle in there. Snap that son of a bitch.

[Dan Soder]

Paco's just waiting.

[Jay Oakerson]

Oh, Paco. Paco, have your moment, dude.

[Robert Kelly]

Paco has his own boombox with it queued up.

[Dan Soder]

Paco, do your cheeks out, though. Let's see those little Filipinos Cheeks.

[Robert Kelly]

That's hairless. Hairless cheeks.

[Dan Soder]

Hairless cheeks. Paco.

[Jay Oakerson]

Here we go.

[Robert Kelly]

Oh, he knows it. Oh, look at him already here comes

[Jay Oakerson]

with a girl like you. Zoom. He made it his own.

[Robert Kelly]

God, this is how they were so good at tricking our GIs. Oh, they're coming in for sex. The next thing you know, it's a shoe bomb. Now Cleveland doesn't have legs.

[Dan Soder]

Cleveland. There's the name. Guys have to see.

[Robert Kelly]

Dallas is helping them clean up Chicago, man. Holy. Yeah, that was. It was sexy. It had everything. Pablo. I mean, Paco's had personality.

[Dan Soder]

You guys were talking about before with. They just did the vacation with.

[Robert Kelly]

Oh, yeah, you just went on the gas digital retreat. Yeah, and you're away from your overlord, so you can speak for you until

[Jay Oakerson]

you guys tell them.

[Robert Kelly]

Yeah, I won't tell them shit. Are you kidding me?

[Dan Soder]

You guys made. Mike swore asleep outside we didn't make it. But he. He ushered himself out because he could see how upset everybody was really snoring.

[Robert Kelly]

I'll escort myself outside.

[Jay Oakerson]

If anyone needs me, I'll be sleeping face down in the pool.

[Robert Kelly]

If you. If anyone needs me, I'll be scaring the locals. They're just coming.

[Jay Oakerson]

All right. I guess I'll just boogeyman the rest of the night.

[Dan Soder]

The man, he go outside to sleep.

[Robert Kelly]

He cut down all the trees.

[Dan Soder]

I have his snoring right here.

[Robert Kelly]

Those aren't wa. Crashing, folks.

[Jay Oakerson]

Yeah, we sleeping on a steamboat.

[Robert Kelly]

I mean, Dude, I spent a night hearing that you guys were in the bedroom. I was out on the couch.

[Jay Oakerson]

I sleep. I. I snore for sure.

[Dan Soder]

I've never seen Dan Soda that mad in my life.

[Robert Kelly]

Very mad.

[Jay Oakerson]

My snowing didn't bother you at all?

[Robert Kelly]

No. You have a picture of me in your phone. We use with one of those iPhone filters that you love, where you could see every wrinkle on my face, but it looks like a mean caricature drawing where they added extra lines because they just didn't sleep. Dude. That motherfucker. And the worst part was he would do the horror movie snore where it would stop and you go, it's over.

[Jay Oakerson]

He died.

[Robert Kelly]

And then he goes, oh, yeah, that's exactly.

[Jay Oakerson]

That's the fucking. That's the Jason Voor. He's opening his eyes at the end.

[Robert Kelly]

Oh, so mad. I should have slept in your car. That's what you said the next day. And you were right. I should have put the seats down in your car.

[Dan Soder]

They should have let him sleep in the car.

[Robert Kelly]

Do you remember they made him sleep outside in the jungle.

[Jay Oakerson]

Do you remember at the end of one of like five or six, one of the Friday the 13ths, his neck got caught on a chain on the back of a boat.

[Robert Kelly]

He's in the bottom of the lake.

[Jay Oakerson]

And the boat fan, that's how he dies in that one is the boat fan. Chops his fucking face. And the hockey mask in the pieces. In the little disgusting bloody pieces, including the mask destroyed. And then they do the wrap up where everyone's okay now who lived. And then at the end, they go down the bottom of the lake and they show his eyes open in the mask. I'm like, what, did he just get hit by a fucking Satan? Put his face back together.

[Robert Kelly]

I can't have that.

[Jay Oakerson]

That's the one Superman flew backwards. They didn't show that.

[Robert Kelly]

The next Jason starts with lightning striking him at the bottom of a lake. Is that how he comes?

[Jay Oakerson]

I don't know. I don't know if it's the bottom.

[Robert Kelly]

Like one of them is fucking struck by lightning underwater.

[Jay Oakerson]

I isn't that. It's no, one of the lightning one that was so funny is there's one where the guy, I think it's Corey Feldman's character growing up, opens up his grave. He goes, it's great. And it's like a. Like a fucking, you know, skeleton or whatever.

[Robert Kelly]

Yeah.

[Jay Oakerson]

In the thing. And he starts stabbing it with like a pole. He breaks like a metal pole and starts stabbing it and he's like. He's like, all right, I got that out of my system. And then lightning strikes the pole and it bring in back to life.

[Robert Kelly]

Oh, it really is like a comedy. If they put comedy music to Jason and they just, like, did it wrong every time. Like Benny Hill music when he's chasing him.

[Jay Oakerson]

They essentially tried with a. I mean, they had Freddy Krueger skateboarding in points. Like he was a skateboard everything. A pizza guy with little. Like with a pizza with little pepperoni or little meatball children faces.

[Dan Soder]

I'm sorry, dude. I was trying to get her. Can you call Ari? He's supposed to be here. He's not here, is he?

[Jay Oakerson]

Not answering anybody.

[Dan Soder]

He's not answering me. He was talking to him last night. He's supposed to be here at five o'. Clock.

[Jay Oakerson]

I'm telling you every second. We have to find out if he's coming or not. Because I promise you guys, the set that we're gonna watch today of me,

[Robert Kelly]

I was like dancing while I was brushing my teeth today. That's how excited I was. I was like, oh, we're gonna watch Jay do a black set.

[Dan Soder]

It's like, I've never got a response from you that quick in my life. I literally typed boom. I sanded, went yes.

[Robert Kelly]

It was medical.

[Jay Oakerson]

How I responded, it didn't even get to three dots.

[Robert Kelly]

It was just one dot lit up. I said, yes, that's it.

[Jay Oakerson]

I will be there. Pronto punto. Because if he's not coming, I'm telling you, I already know. One episode of this to get through. This is 5 1/2 minute set I'm gonna need.

[Dan Soder]

Which is.

[Robert Kelly]

Are we doing a lock in?

[Jay Oakerson]

Christine did a seven minute set. It took us two episodes to get through.

[Robert Kelly]

Yeah, I was listening to you guys through the last special on my. On a drive. On a long drive. I heard was last week's two weeks ago. The lost tapes.

[Jay Oakerson]

Yeah. Do you see his. What is Facebook now?

[Robert Kelly]

Well, you sent it to me. You and DeRosa discussed it a little bit.

[Jay Oakerson]

David Vox Mullen. Yeah, he is now a friend of the show.

[Dan Soder]

He actually changed his Facebook page to the Bonfire logo.

[Robert Kelly]

Oh, my God. Yes. Dude has featured repeatedly and unpaid. Oh, my God. You have a bitchy new friend.

[Jay Oakerson]

Yeah.

[Robert Kelly]

Yeah, I guess I'd go to your house if I was just desperate enough to eat your cookies.

[Jay Oakerson]

Christina had an idea I loved of him reviewing our. He wants to be on the show now. Of course it is of him reviewing other people's specials.

[Dan Soder]

He actually has J Merch on his Page, shut the fuck up.

[Jay Oakerson]

No, I mean, it's the science.

[Dan Soder]

Yeah.

[Jay Oakerson]

I call myself the science now. I don't know if you know that. I don't know if you know that.

[Dan Soder]

He's the science.

[Jay Oakerson]

I am the science. I'm the animist.

[Dan Soder]

Actual influencer.

[Jay Oakerson]

It started.

[Dan Soder]

Influencer.

[Jay Oakerson]

It started with. It started with Body Brain Coffee. Because I keep saying that I don't drink coffee, but I have been ramming it up my ass and I'm getting the benefits. And Lewis says, all right. Goes. And that's Jay's thing, but there's no science in that. And I said, I am the science. And so that's why Bobby's the fluence. You're talking to the magic. Right over here on the ones and twos. The cackle.

[Robert Kelly]

I feel like you guys started.

[Jay Oakerson]

Wait, the beef.

[Robert Kelly]

Beef. Where's the beef?

[Jay Oakerson]

We have the meat and then the family.

[Robert Kelly]

Oh, man, it's. Because everyone.

[Dan Soder]

Because that's people. That's the whole family.

[Jay Oakerson]

Jacob goes to Florida. Family of one.

[Robert Kelly]

Because people died.

[Jay Oakerson]

No, because people. People. People go. People go on. Oh, people go on vacations.

[Dan Soder]

Family of one help you with a dead family egg.

[Jay Oakerson]

Jacob does family activities by himself because he is the family.

[Robert Kelly]

Damn. He's just like Sweet Frank Castle. What if the Punisher was really just nice?

[Jay Oakerson]

I mean, it's up to you guys. Ari says he's gonna be here in 25 minutes.

[Robert Kelly]

Honestly?

[Dan Soder]

Yes.

[Jay Oakerson]

We gotta wait.

[Robert Kelly]

I don't agree with that.

[Dan Soder]

Let me just say why.

[Robert Kelly]

Can I get. Let me get a book. I'm at the party. Give me a.

[Dan Soder]

Why don't we give for context. Why don't we give him a little taste?

[Robert Kelly]

Give me a taste.

[Jay Oakerson]

Oh, he never saw. He didn't see the taste.

[Dan Soder]

He hasn't seen any of them?

[Robert Kelly]

No. I want to wet my whistle. Come get me. This is a goodie.

[Dan Soder]

I gotta stop it right away.

[Jay Oakerson]

You should have Ari familiarize himself with this.

[Dan Soder]

Last week, we did my comic.

[Jay Oakerson]

Comics Unleashed.

[Dan Soder]

We did my comic.

[Jay Oakerson]

Oh, he forgot the show already.

[Dan Soder]

And he. He trashed Mike Vecchio.

[Robert Kelly]

And you work out.

[Dan Soder]

Trash me?

[Jay Oakerson]

Mike Vic O.

[Dan Soder]

Mine was way worse.

[Robert Kelly]

Mine was way worse. Oh, yeah.

[Dan Soder]

And apparently I was the star of the show because I thought there was just two little clips of me. Apparently I did, like, three or four.

[Robert Kelly]

Dan, they gave you. You gave him a full meal.

[Jay Oakerson]

Bobby never didn't stand up.

[Robert Kelly]

That is great.

[Jay Oakerson]

And except when he didn't stand up, he would lean back in his chair and kick his feet up so he could say things like, I Don't know. Lil. What?

[Dan Soder]

Love you.

[Robert Kelly]

I bounce on the bed till you come in where my hot chocolate is. That's. That's baby speak. I know marshmallows.

[Dan Soder]

I forgot we all knew marshmallows. Of course I knew marshmallows. But I forgot about the. I forgot about the Hopchapalopolis.

[Jay Oakerson]

Here's my favorite part of this.

[Robert Kelly]

Sounds like you're luring an animal out.

[Jay Oakerson]

This isn't Bobby. Father. Devoted husband.

[Robert Kelly]

Cigar aficionado.

[Jay Oakerson]

Cigar aficionado.

[Robert Kelly]

Influencer.

[Jay Oakerson]

Calm tempered by therapy and insight and inner looking.

[Robert Kelly]

Yeah.

[Jay Oakerson]

Prayer, Zen Bobby and all this stuff. That's not. That's not who's on Comics Unleashed. The person. Who's this person here is. It looks like if you're like, well, this guy's been like our. A sage and a mentor to so many of us, including myself. And you're like, this was. This wasn't that guy.

[Robert Kelly]

This is Bobby.

[Jay Oakerson]

This was Bobby when he fucking told me he helps my kid get sick. He was a mean person and that was his comedy. And we never said anything to him about it.

[Robert Kelly]

If you really think about it, it's like. It's like Bobby. It's like Bobby had an exorcism and they pull Puerto Rican out of it. If you put it back in, he's like, I got you. I got you. Your kid gets sick. Now he's like, oh, hey, everybody.

[Dan Soder]

That is when I went to la and Patrice did say that I went to la a gorgeous Italian guy and came back a fat Mexican. So I was living in LA at the time.

[Robert Kelly]

Oh, my God, you. There must have been moments in LA where you just collided with people with their fake phoniness.

[Dan Soder]

Dude jumped right in. SUNY mc.

[Robert Kelly]

No. Well, number one, this is also you in the room with Dane listening to the song.

[Jay Oakerson]

Thank you.

[Robert Kelly]

Being like, that's my point. That's my shit.

[Jay Oakerson]

You said when we called you. When we called you. Give us the quote. Please give us the quote.

[Robert Kelly]

Give us the quote. Play it again, Bob. I now. Play it again, Bob.

[Dan Soder]

When something affects you, you can't fight

[Robert Kelly]

whether that thing is the check that that guy's gonna give you.

[Dan Soder]

I'll tell you what I've been. I was on O anda a lot of times, but the two things that hurt me the most is when you called me out on that and then when you called me with the hey, Melissa.

[Robert Kelly]

Where we saved you from prostituting yourself on cameo.

[Dan Soder]

You cost me money. I was making money. Now a thousand bucks. I make nothing.

[Jay Oakerson]

He eventually gave you his job.

[Robert Kelly]

I put down the sword for you because I took your cameo money.

[Jay Oakerson]

Oh, man, that was. Yeah. Hey, Melissa. But that was one of the best. When we called you about that, he goes, dude, what'd you do? This was the time you were with Dane Cook. And you went. He goes. He goes, you're wording. You go, oh, yeah. He goes, you guys never knew Hollywood Bob?

[Robert Kelly]

Yeah.

[Jay Oakerson]

He goes, I was Hollywood Bob. He said, you know, he played it for me in full. And then when it was over, you looked at him and you said, dude, you did it. And he went, really? And you went, I want to hear it again.

[Robert Kelly]

Yeah, that's where the destruction is. Because then Dane Cook goes, I've got a whole pocket full of these.

[Dan Soder]

I'm sleeping, but I'm wild.

[Robert Kelly]

That's like Pat McAfee put out that song. I don't know if you heard Pat McAfee song. And he was like, and I got seven more bangers. And then you hear it and you

[Jay Oakerson]

go, did Pat McAfee put out a song?

[Robert Kelly]

It's called Dookie.

[Jay Oakerson]

It's like serious.

[Robert Kelly]

It sucks.

[Jay Oakerson]

Is it serious?

[Robert Kelly]

I don't think it's a joke song. It's not like fucking. Yeah.

[Jay Oakerson]

I gotta tell you, the guy wears casual tanks.

[Robert Kelly]

Yeah.

[Jay Oakerson]

Too much for me to think that I would. I would love him.

[Robert Kelly]

Yeah. No way. Are you kidding me? He wears your naked clothes outside.

[Jay Oakerson]

Oh, yeah.

[Robert Kelly]

Where's your love making uni?

[Jay Oakerson]

He's in my NY clothes. But I remember we. Dude, I was somewhere. I was somewhere with Shane. Yeah, I was somewhere with Shane and it was like they went to lunch and I was like, I'm all right. And I stayed. And then when I got back, they're like, yeah, Pat McAfee met us. I was like, oh, thank God. I was. Cuz I again, I'm also just not that guy. I'm a pleasant person, so I'm not going to.

[Dan Soder]

Sure.

[Jay Oakerson]

I would have been nice to him and I would have been like, oh, but I'm doing it just. It's like I'm being phony.

[Dan Soder]

You would have been Hollywood Jack.

[Jay Oakerson]

Yeah.

[Robert Kelly]

Listen to this song, though. He's got a whole crew of dudes that Hollywood bobbed him.

[Dan Soder]

This is like young Jake Paul.

[Jay Oakerson]

His jeans are too tight.

[Robert Kelly]

That's the line that gets me every time. Canceled. Who? Me? Boogeyman, Spooky. Whoever let him record that should be shot in the head, execution style.

[Jay Oakerson]

And he's heavy involved in wrestling now, right?

[Robert Kelly]

No, he's out.

[Jay Oakerson]

Yeah.

[Robert Kelly]

He's not calling it for wwe. Anymore.

[Jay Oakerson]

What happened?

[Robert Kelly]

I think he's just, like, busy. I swear to God, he's just like, so busy. He's like, well, I did it for a little. Yeah. This song sucks so much.

[Jay Oakerson]

Yes.

[Robert Kelly]

And this. There was people that were like, yes, dude.

[Dan Soder]

It's not as good as forward.

[Robert Kelly]

Forward is great.

[Jay Oakerson]

It's not.

[Robert Kelly]

Dude. If we're doing battle straight up.

[Dan Soder]

If we're doing Ford, hit me right here.

[Robert Kelly]

If we're doing battle of the bands, Cook v. McAfee.

[Dan Soder]

Hang on one sec. Oh, God. You guys. The next time he sang it, when he, when he brought it back, I was tapping.

[Robert Kelly]

Oh, my God. When he comes in, it makes me

[Dan Soder]

want to punch a wall. I was doing the old one.

[Jay Oakerson]

No. I feel courageous, but I'm still scared

[Robert Kelly]

to finish recording that into. Looking good. Yeah.

[Jay Oakerson]

Oh, my God. Bobby was right. Bobby went this for before. You know what he's leaving out. Before you said you did it, he went, dude, you did it.

[Dan Soder]

No, first of all, you're wrong. Dane wiped my tear with his finger as Bobby.

[Robert Kelly]

And Bobby didn't say anything. He mouthed, thank you.

[Jay Oakerson]

You've done it. You are the dangel.

[Robert Kelly]

Thank you, dude.

[Dan Soder]

This is when you have too much money and power.

[Robert Kelly]

Yes. That's what this is too.

[Jay Oakerson]

When a recording studio goes, yeah, yeah, that's.

[Robert Kelly]

It's, it's just. It's Boogie Nights. Dirk Diggler with the money, Right? If they could pay for the masters.

[Dan Soder]

You don't think I'm. If I get millions, I'm gonna not release a song.

[Robert Kelly]

Oh, dude, if you blew backwards, I love it back.

[Dan Soder]

All about my career.

[Robert Kelly]

[Jay Oakerson]

I'm letting you guys know. I'm letting you guys know.

[Dan Soder]

You're right.

[Jay Oakerson]

Whittling around the clock on this thing. I willed myself back to health for this.

[Robert Kelly]

Okay, give me a taste.

[Dan Soder]

All right, let's go, let's go.

[Jay Oakerson]

All right.

[Robert Kelly]

This is from the Laugh House.

[Dan Soder]

Give it, Give us a little, little, little context.

[Jay Oakerson]

This is somewhere in my first few months of comedy.

[Dan Soder]

Yeah.

[Jay Oakerson]

I must have played at least a few more other black shows besides Laugh House. Cuz I say something in the beginning that lends me to believe. I. By the way, I've only seen what you're about to see. This is all I've seen.

[Dan Soder]

We saved it.

[Jay Oakerson]

I didn't watch.

[Robert Kelly]

Did you watch the full clip?

[Dan Soder]

No.

[Robert Kelly]

Okay.

[Dan Soder]

There's something at the end. If he. I was like, is there a chance

[Robert Kelly]

[Dan Soder]

And he doesn't.

[Jay Oakerson]

He does not. We had to look.

[Dan Soder]

So we weren't waiting for.

[Robert Kelly]

There is.

[Dan Soder]

There is something.

[Robert Kelly]

Good disclaimer. Because those of us that do remember

[Dan Soder]

bodybuilding really hoping he was gonna get naked.

[Robert Kelly]

You're hoping to see.

[Jay Oakerson]

I was too. That's where I just thought, like, oh, my God, maybe it is not.

[Robert Kelly]

Was it one of Joe's thongs that used to borrow.

[Jay Oakerson]

Yeah, he had a zebra print. I think it came. No, but it wasn't about. He wasn't a bodybuilder. He was a powerlifter. No, it wasn't that. He just had, like a three pack, like, tube of, like. He wore, like. He wore, like jocks, you know, jockey type underwear.

[Robert Kelly]

I'm not one to defend a Joe, but I'll defend your Joe.

[Jay Oakerson]

Yeah.

[Robert Kelly]

And let you know he's shaving his body, which you always talked about, because he's doing the bodybuilder stuff. I mean, the powerlifting stuff. But you'd have to shave him.

[Jay Oakerson]

Yeah.

[Robert Kelly]

And you're buying a thong if you're shaving your body.

[Jay Oakerson]

Yeah.

[Robert Kelly]

Because you're like, down to like.

[Jay Oakerson]

It wasn't a thong either. It was. It was.

[Robert Kelly]

You can't wear just regular underwear like a dumpy asshole like me.

[Jay Oakerson]

It wasn't thong. It was like. Was bikini underwear.

[Dan Soder]

I had thongs.

[Jay Oakerson]

So it means, like, did.

[Dan Soder]

Goddamn right. I did.

[Robert Kelly]

Goddamn right.

[Jay Oakerson]

That's gay. My. These weren't thongs. They were like. But they. But they. The straps on the side were this thin.

[Dan Soder]

You know, I actually make all my under thongs

[Robert Kelly]

for quite a while.

[Dan Soder]

All right, listen, this.

[Jay Oakerson]

It's like. Like those.

[Dan Soder]

Let's get to it.

[Jay Oakerson]

Well, I think it wouldn't matter so much if we'd use those ten thousand dollar pieces of shit up there in the wall. But they fired everyone that would use them.

[Robert Kelly]

Can I tell you? Can I just tell you from a distance?

[Jay Oakerson]

We had to hire a Paco and buy cameras.

[Dan Soder]

They did hire them back for downstairs podcast studios.

[Robert Kelly]

Can I tell you from a distance,

[Jay Oakerson]

I believe Katie's studio is fully functioning,

[Robert Kelly]

but it ain't running the way it should.

[Jay Oakerson]

Really.

[Robert Kelly]

I've been watching from a distance laughing because I watched Katie go through the same thing we did where she goes, there's four cameras and they go. I know

[Jay Oakerson]

there is, isn't there?

[Robert Kelly]

So why don't we go. Go full video. They go, well, that's a whole thing.

[Dan Soder]

You need somebody to push four buttons.

[Jay Oakerson]

The funny thing is I believe. I believe these cameras are now outdated.

[Robert Kelly]

Yeah, those things run on film.

That's the greatest approach. That's the greatest joke approach. Young comic joke approach, where he goes, great, great.

[Jay Oakerson]

He goes into it, and then I start giving a speech. We watched this part.

[Dan Soder]

I love this. He goes, you ready to laugh now?

I'm gonna tell you though, that's. That, that's not confident. That's confidence that I did not have starting out. Like, I know you can see the trepidation when you're getting ready for the joke, but the. The coolness of you being like, you

[Dan Soder]

couldn't act like a black guy when you first came out.

[Robert Kelly]

I mean, I kind of was. I was doing Chappelle, basically.

[Jay Oakerson]

You got to hear my speech, but you have to get. It's. We don't know if it's the. Of a bit. I. I'm hoping, sure. That I'm setting up something. That I'm setting up something like, you know, like. Like a piece or so, you know, some kind of a punch. Because when I start talking right away, all I start talking about is, I'm a white. I do black rooms. I'm a white guy. Here, just give me my fair shit. It's ask me, I'm asking to give me a fair shake.

[Robert Kelly]

I've come from across the tracks.

[Jay Oakerson]

It's so.

[Robert Kelly]

So I'm like, I'm here to make your people laugh.

[Jay Oakerson]

Please be getting to a. Please be getting to a bit.

[Robert Kelly]

Yeah, you know. Know.

[Dan Soder]

All right, let's hear it. Black brothers, white brothers, here we go. Listen to it. It's pullback.

[Robert Kelly]

How you doing? How you doing?

[Jay Oakerson]

This is primarily an all black club. I play usually all black clubs. I'm used to it. I don't try to win, you guys, I'm sorry.

[Robert Kelly]

I got. This is going to take me five hours.

[Dan Soder]

Senator J. Listen, guys, you know, I understand that

[Robert Kelly]

there's been a racial divide in the city for quite some time. I'm here to tell y' all that as this country is found in the great city of Philadelphia. Yeah, I don't care you're black. Yeah, I don't care you yell at the movies. In fact, I'm gonna address that coming up. But their hands too, dude.

[Jay Oakerson]

I also tell you what might be happening with my shirt. Just to give you A little heads up.

[Robert Kelly]

Yeah.

[Jay Oakerson]

Might be funny. I'm just the way. Looking the way it looks. There's a chance if it was something I was wearing, like a fucking. Like now it's funny, you. It wouldn't even matter if you work a Guns n Roses or something shirt. It's like a black show. It's not shaking. Black people wear Guns n Roses stuff now. It's just like style stuff to wear, like bands and shit. That might be an inside out, like, shirt. That was because here's the thing, I shot Big and tall, so the shirts were they. You could buy the hip hop shirts that were the big. If you just need T shirts also, it would be like I had one that was like animal from the Muppets face on it. Just stuff like. Or you can get like a Superman logo or Guns N Roses maybe or something.

[Dan Soder]

There's a reason you're wearing that shirt.

[Jay Oakerson]

What we'll see at the end. Oh, oh, yeah.

[Robert Kelly]

Oh. Is that part of the reveal? God, I love that you had a reveal in your show.

[Jay Oakerson]

I don't know.

[Robert Kelly]

Early on, five minutes set and there's a reveal.

[Dan Soder]

Jay's closes were all reveals back in the day. Yeah, that was his. That was his name before Science Jay.

[Jay Oakerson]

At the end of the show. At the end of the show, I didn't have confidence in my jokes. So at the end, I feel like

[Robert Kelly]

I would have to reveal to you, Jay, what are you gonna do if the crowd's not. Not good? I'll show and I'll tell.

[Jay Oakerson]

Yeah, I'll reveal everything.

[Robert Kelly]

I'll reveal it. Can you pull it back a little? Because I do want to see. How you doing? How you doing?

[Dan Soder]

Too Back all the way.

[Jay Oakerson]

[Robert Kelly]

Oh, yeah, dude. Now.

[Jay Oakerson]

What's up? How's everybody doing?

[Dan Soder]

All right, good.

[Jay Oakerson]

Everybody ready to laugh now? Now let's keep it rolling then. That's right. Now, this is primarily an all black club. I play usually all black clubs. I'm used to it. I don't try to win you guys over no special ways. I don't try to pull no special moves. Talk about rap or rappers or rapping. Trying to get you guys to be.

[Dan Soder]

We gotta pause it. I don't think we should go past here.

[Robert Kelly]

This is fantastic. I'm lost in awe of your save the Last dance comedy set.

[Jay Oakerson]

I don't know.

[Robert Kelly]

I've learned a lot. I've learned a lot by watching your people. Yeah, Y' all love seasoning.

[Dan Soder]

Yeah.

[Jay Oakerson]

I've observed. I've observed all these guys.

[Robert Kelly]

Yeah, I'VE been observing y' all from far. This is so funny. I love it. Yeah. Are you gonna talk about rap or the hippity hop?

[Dan Soder]

His pencil beard is.

[Jay Oakerson]

You're not gonna say words like, oh,

[Robert Kelly]

God, I can't wait. Oh, yes.

[Dan Soder]

Can we just see the front again? Waiting for. Is Ari here? Did he check in?

[Robert Kelly]

No, no, I. I assume he ascends in. I assume he drops in. Like.

[Jay Oakerson]

Yeah, he just comes through the wall like goop.

[Dan Soder]

Paco turns into Ari.

[Robert Kelly]

I was here the whole time, you idiots.

[Jay Oakerson]

Ari just loop. He's a looper. He loops right into Paco.

[Dan Soder]

Paco's head just starts shaking. Ari comes out of his mouth.

[Jay Oakerson]

Hey, guys, sorry. I was running late. I looped here. Oh, I loopered here.

[Robert Kelly]

Sorry, guys. I had a looper earlier.

[Jay Oakerson]

Yo, when I'm watching this, and I mean this, you hate yourself inside. Yes. What did. I was encouraged to keep going.

[Robert Kelly]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jay Oakerson]

Because, like, everything from the very beginning of this, if I was watching a comic, a new comic now, I mean, I guess if they said he was, like, under a year in, sure, yeah. But I'm saying, like. But even under a year in, like, the, like, the weird. Everything about it is weird. He's saying that. He goes, all right, y' all ready for it now? Now we're gonna get it now. We're gonna start laughing now, y'. All.

[Dan Soder]

All right, now.

[Jay Oakerson]

We about to do it now. For real now.

[Robert Kelly]

This is why I feel bad for comics starting now, because they have to put this out. This was found when. I don't know what, your friend's going through a divorce or an attic fire, but they found it, and they were like, oh, my God, I uploaded it. You could watch it. In we go. Like a relic.

[Jay Oakerson]

But if you. And you're.

[Robert Kelly]

And you're. You now you're.

[Dan Soder]

I love that. Jay's always had an encouraging white girl in his corner. If you play it back, you can hear Jamie.

[Robert Kelly]

You go.

[Dan Soder]

If you.

[Robert Kelly]

If you buy a J action figure, it comes with a supportive white girl.

[Jay Oakerson]

Play it back.

[Dan Soder]

You can hear in the back.

[Robert Kelly]

It is a small, black, black audience.

[Dan Soder]

Don't go, woo.

[Jay Oakerson]

Oh, no. And she goes. When I first, she goes, yeah. And it's Jamie.

[Robert Kelly]

Yeah, but that's what I mean. Jamie had to find this and send it to you. Versus, like, a lot of people that start now. Their open mic is on Instagram within six hours.

[Dan Soder]

I know. Yeah.

[Robert Kelly]

Like, you see it. They go, I did an open mic. And you're like, what are you doing?

[Jay Oakerson]

You do, by the way, I see when I just. Is that reels. I guess when it's something. If you go right on Instagram, it starts being videos and I scroll up on those and it'll be kind of similar things over and over again where it's like the word algorithm.

[Robert Kelly]

Influencer.

[Dan Soder]

Yeah, influencer.

[Robert Kelly]

It's.

[Dan Soder]

It's the algorithm.

[Jay Oakerson]

Yeah.

[Dan Soder]

Or rhythm.

[Jay Oakerson]

But I get it.

[Dan Soder]

Ala. Either way you want to say it.

[Robert Kelly]

If you're fishing. The alga.

[Dan Soder]

Yeah. Hang on one sec.

[Jay Oakerson]

The agr Bagr. They. No, when it gets into those, it's like people where I'm almost convinced they're performing for an empty room.

[Robert Kelly]

Oh, brother. Remember that guy we found?

[Jay Oakerson]

But I think. I think a lot of people do that.

[Robert Kelly]

I know.

[Jay Oakerson]

I think a lot of people.

[Robert Kelly]

That guy.

[Dan Soder]

Yeah.

[Jay Oakerson]

Like their belief is like, the joke's good.

[Robert Kelly]

Yeah.

[Jay Oakerson]

Doesn't matter what's going on with the audience.

[Robert Kelly]

And that's not the truth. Because a lot of times you. You guys did. You guys did new joke last night. You guys think it's going to be funny and you do something and then you say it and you go, well, fuck you. That was so funny up here.

[Dan Soder]

I actually did a performance piece last night.

[Robert Kelly]

You did?

[Jay Oakerson]

Oh my God. Before already gets here. I can give you a little taste of this. This was funny. So we had three one word topics we got to just hit at some point.

[Robert Kelly]

From the fans.

[Jay Oakerson]

From the fans.

[Dan Soder]

We had to go up on stage with the piece of paper.

[Robert Kelly]

You guys were doing what HS Tiki Talky was doing to Louis Theroux in the documentary where you're like, oh, yeah, I'll say that. I heard your friends with Jimmy Savile.

[Jay Oakerson]

Yeah, yeah.

[Robert Kelly]

Taking the feeds. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's good. You're a pedo.

[Jay Oakerson]

You good friend. Pedo.

[Robert Kelly]

Your friends are pedo.

[Jay Oakerson]

No. So Bobby went up first, God bless him. And his. His topics were dicks, bloodletting.

[Robert Kelly]

Oh.

[Jay Oakerson]

And nicknames.

[Robert Kelly]

Okay.

[Jay Oakerson]

And Bobby went up there. And by the way, God bless his heart, I promise you, whatever he says beyond this would be a lie. And it's. I'm impressed with the reality of it. Bobby started what he was doing with no idea where it was going to go. And he did make it at the end. Make sense.

[Robert Kelly]

You pulled, you landed it.

[Dan Soder]

But I'm telling you, a 30 year vet. Yes.

[Robert Kelly]

Did you now can I ask you.

[Dan Soder]

But I landed like the plane they did in Pennsylvania on September 11th. Everybody died.

[Jay Oakerson]

Yeah.

[Robert Kelly]

We're in a field. You got. Yeah. Some people have to go to the Pentagon to grieve you got to a field in pa. Yeah, pieces of the

[Jay Oakerson]

plane, they went down, but Bobby saved a monument or something.

[Robert Kelly]

Yeah, dude, that's why we call Bobby Flight 93. He's United 93.

[Jay Oakerson]

So Bobby goes, he's. This first one's gonna be dick. I told him too. I go, I goes tell them that we're like picking a word. We got, you know, three words that we have to kind of make some funny out of from the radio show. You give yourself a little like buffer of that at least.

[Robert Kelly]

Yeah, don't go shame yourself.

[Jay Oakerson]

Because the crowd also up to this far, the people we have watched is eating. And then Will goes up. And then Will goes up, up there and eat with them. Let me tell you, Daniel Simonson and Will Silvan should do a movie together because it's just funny to watch. Like they. It's two people like that don't. They both don't want to be there, but their will's committed to being there with them. And Daniel just wants to leave.

[Robert Kelly]

He's like, please.

[Jay Oakerson]

I was like, why you? Why you what? You have your weird voice.

[Robert Kelly]

He goes, please, I. I am sorry that I asked you a question. Can I please leave?

[Jay Oakerson]

I'd like to go now.

[Robert Kelly]

I always. I was. I tried to do his voice, but I can't. But I do. Well, I do the voice from Twin Peaks. I'm trying to do the backwards voice.

[Jay Oakerson]

He lives in the Black Lodge. He's got Black Lodge voice.

[Robert Kelly]

Will, I don't know what you are talking about.

[Jay Oakerson]

So Bobby goes up and he goes, yes, we have to do these things. It was so. The way he did it was so that. I'm telling you, I felt. I'm not joking about this. This is why I started laughing myself was. It felt like the light, the lighting changed in the room because Bobby put his stuff down. He took his scally cap off, put it down. And he goes, yeah, we gotta do this thing with. For the show. We each get a topic. And he goes, I hate dicks. I've hated him since.

[Robert Kelly]

Oh my God.

[Jay Oakerson]

Not that long ago. He goes, used to love dicks and now I don't. When I was young, you know, I was like, you guys are young enough to be like dicks, right? Like dicks. But it was. Was like he was like a one man show.

[Robert Kelly]

Remember the.

[Jay Oakerson]

The fucking. What's the Armisen. Fred Armisen.

[Robert Kelly]

Yeah.

[Jay Oakerson]

Where he's like, daddy, why is mommy not gonna be here this year? By the time I was 13 years

[Robert Kelly]

old, I learned everything I need to know about Hardships.

[Jay Oakerson]

Like, that's what Bobby's thing felt. He goes. He goes. He goes, so we're doing this thing. I hate dicks. And he's like, I don't even know when it happened. Oh, I used to love dicks, dude.

[Dan Soder]

At one point, I looked at the one light.

[Robert Kelly]

Damn.

[Jay Oakerson]

Yes, he was in a light. And I'm tell. He hypnotized me. I don't know what the fuck he's doing. And then he goes, yeah. He goes, wait, do you guys think I'm talking about, like, penis? No, no, no. I mean, like dicks. Like guys that are assholes. Like, now, I don't like them. When I was young, I like guys and the crowd kind of. And they sort of bought in, and they took that little journey with them. And I was like, the fuck just happened.

[Robert Kelly]

I didn't know what happened.

[Dan Soder]

I don't know if you've watched.

[Jay Oakerson]

It was hypnotizing.

[Dan Soder]

I don't know if you've watched David Vox Mullen's thing, though. You want to take a left when the audience is taking a right.

[Jay Oakerson]

Oh, shit.

[Dan Soder]

You don't see what I'm saying? Saying I could have went up and went, dicks. If my dick's big, this dick. And talk about. I went the other way.

[Robert Kelly]

He dvmed him.

[Jay Oakerson]

He did tell you. He did tell you. You run his favorite kind of comedy. I think we all do know.

[Dan Soder]

Yeah. Is my favorite style of comedy.

[Jay Oakerson]

Absurdity.

[Dan Soder]

Absur. That's what. That's who I tell you right now. I've taken a workshop, and now I know dvm.

[Jay Oakerson]

DVM didn't bring the.

[Dan Soder]

Anybody would have saw dicks and went up and went, dicks are ugly.

[Robert Kelly]

But that's not the DVM way. Nah, dude.

[Dan Soder]

I went, dicks. I.

[Robert Kelly]

Men named Richard men. Me and who are mean men who.

[Dan Soder]

When I was younger. When I was younger, I love dicks. I was a dick. You understand? I love mean people. But now I hate dicks. Oh, I have serenity.

[Jay Oakerson]

Oh, dicks.

[Dan Soder]

To me.

[Jay Oakerson]

Nicknames, nicknames, y'. All. He goes, what? He goes, nicknames are fun because everyone had a nickname, right? It was like. It was good. Everybody had nicknames with each other. And they would talk to us. And he goes, what's your name? And the guy just had a name that there was nothing that you could do with. And then he goes, how about your name? He goes. He's like, ray. He's like, but it's. That is a nickname. And he goes, that's not what I Mean,

[Robert Kelly]

not playing along.

[Jay Oakerson]

Yeah.

[Robert Kelly]

Stop it. You're not doing it right.

[Jay Oakerson]

He goes. It's not what I mean.

[Robert Kelly]

No, that's a different kind of nickname. God damn it. God damn it. It's a shortening.

[Dan Soder]

My bloodletting was probably my best piece of the night.

[Jay Oakerson]

Yes. Bobby's blood. You'll hear all this by the way. We have the tape everybody plays tomorrow. We'll play it tomorrow. The tapes from the cellar. But Bobby goes. I don't remember much of it. He just goes. Bloodletting. He goes. That's like a thing. You know, people. That's how they used to. Like, if he was sick, they'd be like. They'd cut you open and try to just let it bleed out. He goes, george Washington did that?

[Dan Soder]

No, no, no.

[Jay Oakerson]

I went.

[Dan Soder]

I went. George Washington did that. I went. I think.

[Jay Oakerson]

Yeah, I think. I think that's, like. It must have freaked him in the room. He's like. I think, right? Like, that's.

[Robert Kelly]

Damn, dude, you should have taken that shit to a coffee house. They would have carried you out.

[Jay Oakerson]

Ari's here, right? I guess we'll just watch the intro again and let Ari get a taste of the intro and then we'll all start.

[Dan Soder]

Could you not watch the intro over and over again?

[Robert Kelly]

There's so much. I know that. There's so much more. I don't. I'm very. I want. I want a big hit now. I've had a little.

[Jay Oakerson]

But we gotta go. Get the first joke in. Jay, please. Well, Ari's here. Yeah. Great saying. Ari's walking in, so I'm saying before commercial break, you should. We should get him.

[Dan Soder]

Is he going to look homeless?

[Robert Kelly]

Yeah. Oh, he looks like they caught, like, the Unabomber's assistant.

[Dan Soder]

Oh, he does.

[Robert Kelly]

Like, yeah, they found him in the woods making fucking plant, like, with building schematics.

[Jay Oakerson]

I was. Picture. I was just gonna look like Richard Dreyfus and Jaws.

[Robert Kelly]

I'm Richard Dreyfus.

[Jay Oakerson]

Not Richard Dreyfus. The guy, the sea captain.

[Dan Soder]

Quint.

[Jay Oakerson]

Quint. Whatever you guys have. You guys want to play it, but we're gonna have to take a break in, like, what, seven minutes, Eight minutes?

[Robert Kelly]

Oh, yeah.

[Jay Oakerson]

Let's get the first joke in and then we come.

[Dan Soder]

How do you walk the street and not get attacked? You look.

[Robert Kelly]

You look like you're running for hate. Ashberry Mayor. Hey, what's up? It's flowers.

[Dan Soder]

Ari went back to his roots.

[Robert Kelly]

Yeah.

[Jay Oakerson]

Oh, it's so good to see you, dude. You came on a good day.

[Dan Soder]

Yeah.

We've been like. We were hanging out. We were hanging out with Ari. He was at our apartment and he was eating. I had jelly beans on the table. He's eating him. Then he kept putting his hand to Myrtle's mouth. Katie was laughing about me going from joking to serious because I went, hey, yeah, can you not feed my dog jelly? She's been saying that all week. Don't feed my dog jelly. She goes, hey, can you please not feed my dog jelly beans? It was one of those moments where I got serious. Hey, could you not feed my dog jelly beans? All right. Please don't. I have to clean up the diarrhea.

[Jay Oakerson]

You guys are gonna beat yourselves.

[Dan Soder]

All right, stop. We have to get to it. We have a short amount of time. We have a long way to go in a short time to get there. Piece of Jay.

[Robert Kelly]

Is this a piece of Jay use? Put on the headphones.

[Dan Soder]

No, put on the headphones.

[Jay Oakerson]

Piece of shit's not even the right thing for it. This is. This is my first. Oh, this is my first months in comedy within the first year. Only black shows.

[Dan Soder]

Yeah.

[Jay Oakerson]

And this is the laugh. This is now where I feel probably my most confident. The Laugh House, where I reign supreme on Thursdays behind only a one Kevin Hart.

[Robert Kelly]

Crazy that you shot up the rankings on Thursday to UV Little Kev. The bastard.

[Jay Oakerson]

I was doing all right. I was pretty confident and pretty comfortable on Thursdays.

[Robert Kelly]

Just watched.

[Jay Oakerson]

But I'm telling you, but watching this, this, and I'll tell you this, this is what gets me about it, is I don't see what anyone saw to let me continue past this point. That's what I'm saying. I don't understand why I've done shows besides here with the way I've sounded already now.

[Robert Kelly]

All right, let me catch you up.

[Dan Soder]

The.

[Robert Kelly]

Yeah. And the woo you're going to be hearing. Yeah. Is the woman who provided the tape. Yeah. So it's Jay's friend.

[Dan Soder]

Jay has supported you.

[Robert Kelly]

So the black Audience is not, in fact act enthused to CJ Jay's travel

[Dan Soder]

with an encouraging white girl from the get go.

[Robert Kelly]

I feel like black, black rooms.

[Dan Soder]

He doesn't just live with one, he's had one.

[Robert Kelly]

I feel like black rooms have like shitty white comics. The way like China will just invite any blonde chick to a party.

[Jay Oakerson]

Yes.

[Robert Kelly]

Look. Look how cool we are.

[Jay Oakerson]

She's a blonde round eyed woman. Absolutely.

[Dan Soder]

It's funny you say white comic.

[Jay Oakerson]

I start. I start. You'll hear. But you right out of the gate.

[Robert Kelly]

Yeah. That's not you. Oh,

[Jay Oakerson]

no one can get past dj. Cut it.

[Dan Soder]

Wow.

[Robert Kelly]

No, no.

[Jay Oakerson]

So I do the.

[Robert Kelly]

That's pre. I do the.

[Jay Oakerson]

I do the years before long.

[Robert Kelly]

Pre fubu dude.

[Jay Oakerson]

This is pre Isabella existing.

[Dan Soder]

You know, Jay, practice, practice his. Cut it in the mirror.

[Robert Kelly]

Pause.

[Dan Soder]

Cut it.

[Robert Kelly]

You don't know Keith Robinson at this point?

[Jay Oakerson]

Probably not.

[Robert Kelly]

No. He was in the back. Because if he could take that kid to New York City, they'll eat him alive. And I'm here to watch it.

[Dan Soder]

Tell the white girl to beat it

[Robert Kelly]

and I'll never have a problem with my blood pressure. I'll bring this white kid up to New York.

[Jay Oakerson]

This is not camera. This is a Sony Handycam. Oh, my God.

[Robert Kelly]

Start over, please. Because I didn't know it was you. I was like, that's the MC for sure.

[Dan Soder]

Can I just say something right now? I'm so glad we didn't do this yesterday.

[Jay Oakerson]

Oh, yeah. This is too. That's too Ray hosting.

[Robert Kelly]

Start again. Did that bring up too gay?

[Jay Oakerson]

Nice. All right, Jamie, ready to laugh now?

[Robert Kelly]

So nervous.

[Jay Oakerson]

This is primarily an all black club. I played usually all black.

[Robert Kelly]

Hold on. I'm sorry, Jay, Can I tell you. It's not what you're saying as much as how you're saying, because you. You're leaking it out. You're going. I'm just gonna say I primarily perform in front of wide audiences. Not gonna try to win. Yv.

[Dan Soder]

Yeah. I ain't gonna say the things you

[Robert Kelly]

want me to say. Like gay birds. You ask how they're doing too many times, of course, just to get set. They're just. They're showing the fear.

[Jay Oakerson]

Ari. Way to hear. We've already heard a little bit past it. This just. I mean, literally a few sentences past this and my whole beginning that all we've gotten to is me smoothing things over before I start. I start informing them that I'm white. It's okay.

[Robert Kelly]

He cuts the music and then he. What about the kids? Ism. What about the kids? The People, here's my impression of anyone black in the crowd right here.

[Jay Oakerson]

Yes. For a second, all. Although this was Blazing Thursdays, where I was Blazing Thursdays. Two rays. Blazing Thursdays. Yeah.

[Dan Soder]

I love that they put the white girl in the back.

[Jay Oakerson]

Go Birds. Go Birds. I don't try to win you guys over no special ways. I don't try to pull no special moves. Talk about rap or rappers or rapping.

[Robert Kelly]

Oh, you're just alienated. Hey, you guys are only into rap. Hey, I know you guys usually move to the sound of a rhythmic beat. Y' all like your words to rhyme.

[Dan Soder]

You're bred to be athletes. Yeah, I do stuff better than that. This better be good.

[Jay Oakerson]

Can you.

[Robert Kelly]

Wow, look at that shitty beard.

[Dan Soder]

That stupid beard.

[Jay Oakerson]

Oh, my God.

[Robert Kelly]

Clearly doesn't connect. It's like a bridge that went out. You're like, Googlebop says go this way.

[Jay Oakerson]

My.

[Dan Soder]

My.

[Jay Oakerson]

My beard didn't connect to my mustache till four years ago.

[Robert Kelly]

Yeah. Oh, my God.

[Dan Soder]

Look at his Nefertiti hoop earrings.

[Robert Kelly]

Yes.

[Jay Oakerson]

By the way, hadn't figured out how to handle the eyebrows just yet, either.

[Robert Kelly]

I don't mind them, though.

[Jay Oakerson]

They look like inchworms. Yeah, they look like Ben Shapiro little caterpillar eyebrows.

[Robert Kelly]

Wow. Oh, my God.

[Jay Oakerson]

I get you guys to be on my side. Funny. I'm funny. Laugh, laugh, please. If I suck, boom, me off the stage. You know what I mean? Just give him a fair chance. I don't try to win you guys over.

[Robert Kelly]

They are already. I know.

[Dan Soder]

Wait, something's coming. That's. Something's coming face right there.

[Robert Kelly]

Don't move.

[Dan Soder]

That's a meme. That's a brain picture.
